The twenty-seventh anniversary of this Asylum was cele brated yesterday in a very gratifying manner, by the ceremony - of laying the first stone of an addition to the school, which will enable the charity to extend its benevolent efforts to the girls of Scottish parents as well as to boys. For the last few years the Directors have contemplated this extension of the charity, but having no funds available for the purpose, they were compelled to postpone it. In the course of last yeah, however, the munificence of Mr. Matheson, M.P. (Ashburton), who himself subscribed 1,0001. towards the expense of en larging the building, and the subscriptions 'on the part of friends of the charity, have enabled the Directors to carry out their intentions. The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the girls' school, at the Asylum, Copenhagen-fields, was performed by the Earl of Zetland, accompanied by masonic forms. The Members of the Highland Society, dressed in their picturesque costumes, attended on the occa sion. The President, the Duke of Buccleuch, Sir James Macdonnell, Captain Forbes of Aslown, The Chisholm, and the rest of the governors and directors of the charity, were also present. Mackay, her Majesty's piper; Macbeth, the Duke of Su therland's; Cameron, Captain Forbes's ; Stewart, Captain Houston Stewart's; and Mackay, the Highland Society's, were in attendance, and played many pibrochs, salutes, and a variety of martial airs. The splendour and interest of the ceremony were much ins creased by the attendance of a very large number of masonic brethren, in the full costume and insignia of the different orders of the craft, in order to do honour to the Earl of Zet land, the worshipful the Grand Master. The spectators, the Majority of whom consisted of elegantly dressed ladies, were accommodated with a range of raised seats, covered by an awning, opposite the spot on which the ceremonial was to take place. The boys of the Asylum were in attendance, dressed in the full national costume, attracting a good deal of notice in the kilt and tartan. The fine band of the Scotch Fusiliers enlivened the company before the commencement of the proceedings with several modern airs and Scotch melo dies. The only drawback on the proceedings was the exces sive inclemency of the weather, the coldness of the wind being almost unprecedented so late in the month of May. The Masonic brethren, and the gentlemen attending the proceedings; assembled at Copenhagen-house at half-past two, some wearing their masonic emblems, some the High land costume, and not a few of them displaying both. Hay ing formed in procession, they accompanied the Grand Master to the Asylum, in a body so numerous that the space was soon crowded to excess. '1 he ceremony of laying the first stone was then performed with the usual forms, a brass plate depo sited beneath it bearing the following inscription:-- In the seventh year of the Reign of Her Most Gracious Majesty QUEEN VICTORIA, the Foundation Stone of this addition to the CALEDONIAN ASYLUM, to extend its benefits to Female Children, was laid on the 17th May, 1844, by The Right lion. the Earl of Zrrissien, Grand Master of the Fraternity of Freemasons of England, assisted by His Grace the Duke of BCCCLEUCH, President, and supported by the HIGHLAND SOCIETY OF LONDON, and other Patrons and Friends of the Institution. The procession arrived on the ground at half-past three, and the whole ceremony was ever at four o'clock. IRE DINNER. The anniversary of the Society and the event of the day were both celebrated by a dinner in the evening at the Free mason's Tavern, at which the subscribers to, and friends of the charity mustered very strongly. his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch presided, supported by the Earl of Zetland, and Mr. Matheson, M.P. The fullowieg gentlemen were among those present :--Capt. C. Forbes, General Fitzroy Maclean, Sir John Kirkland, H. Rose, Esq., A. Gillespie, Esq., G. Forbes, Esq., J. Tulloch, Esq., General Aitcheson, Sir Rd. Hunter, &c., &c. Many gentlemen wore the Highland cos turn. A full band was in attendance, in addition to five splendidly-dressed Highland pipers, and the gallery was filled with ladies. The vocal entertainments of the evening were under the direction of Mr. T. Cooke, and though last, not least, the dinner itself was excellent, and the wines of the best quality. On the removal of the cloth, The CHAIRMAN gave the Queen, the Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, mid the rest of the Royal Family. They were all drank with the warmest delllelutTa tions of loyalty. The "Army and Navy" followed, and the toast was ac knowledged by General AITCIIESON. The children of the Asylum were then introduced, and marched round the room, preceded by the pipers. They stepped with much military precision, and their clean, cheer ful, and healthy appearance, excited general admiration. The CHAIRMAN then gave the toast of the evening, " Pros perity to the Caledonian Asylum." After adverting to the interesting appearance of the children, his Grace gave a-sketch of the origin and progress of the Institution, from 1815 till the present day, regretting that its means had not allowed the Society to extend the benefits of the charity to the orphan daughters of those Scotchmen who had fallen in the service of their country, as well as to their sons, and stating in the warmest and most grateful terms the obligation the Institution was tinder to the munificent donor of the sum of 1,000/. (Mr. Matheson, M.P.), which had relieved them from the difficulty, and enabled them, with the subscription of other kind friends, to complete their good work, by the commencement, that day, of the school for girls also. He al luded to the education which the children received, and to their religious instruction in the principles of the Church of Scotland, strongly, but not more strongly than justly, eulo gizing the conduct, zeal, and attention of the Rev. Mr. Lees, who, lie stated, was about to remove from this scene of his labours. Mr. HECTOR Ross then read the statement of accounts, by which it appeared that the Society had received in the past year, in all, the sum of 2,2521:, and had expended 1,8261. He mentioned the singular and gratifying fact that in twenty years there had been only one death in the Asylum. The CHAIRMAN; having given " Their Royal Highnesses the Vice-Patronesses of the Society and the other Vice, Patronesses," The Earl of ZEMAND proposed the health of their Noble Chairman the Duke of Buccleugh, which was drank with " Highland honours." The Duke of BUCCLECCH returned thanks in a brief, but feeling speech ; after which the health of the Earl of Zetland was given, and drank in the same manner. The list of contributions for the evening was then read by Mr. Hector Ross. The following are some of the principal donations :—Her Majesty the Queen 1001., Prince Albert 52/. 10s., the Duke of Buccleugh 501., Sir C. Forbes 1004 Mr. 11. Melville 10/. 10s., Mr. Alexander Grant 304 Mr. D. Robert son 471., the Duke of Roxburgh 30/., the Eari of Zetland 211., Alderman Johnson 101. 10s., Mr. Alexander Gillespie 321., Mr. George Forbes 33/., the Caledonian Society 211., &c. Altogether the donations amounted to 880/. The whole amount of funds for the year is about 2,100/., and the building expenses will require some 500/. more than that amount. General AITCHESON then proposed the health of Mr. Matheson, M.P., which was enthusiastically drank with all the honours. The toast was followed by that of the " Highland Society," " The Church of Scotland," (which was acknowledged by the Rev. Mr. Lees), and the " Caledonian Society." The Duke of BUCCLEUGII then quitted the Chair, and left the meeting. Mr. MATHESON was unanimously called to it, and the fol lowing toasts succeeded :—" The Presbyterian Clergy of London," " the Duchess of Buccleugh and the ladies pre sent," "'the Stewards," and" Success to the next meeting." The meeting soon after separated, having spent a very pleasant evening. - ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE.

The Edgar was blown up in 1711 by some accident that could never be accounted for, as every soul on board, including numerous visitors from the shore, in addition to 400 seamen and marines, pe rished. The explosion of her magazines having knocked her to pieces before she sank, the tide flowed freely round the parts, so that most of her wood work has been eaten by the worms ; but, unlike the timbers of the Royal George, which were preserved in the stiff blue mud, the little that now remains of the wood work of the Edgar is entirely rotten, and may be broken to pieces by the hand, or penetrated with ease by any sharp instrument. In fact it has the appearance of being charred through, and the first hasty impres sion was that it might have been burned, but this on consideration pas impossible, because, though part of it may have been set on fire and thrown up into the air, the fire would have floated away on falling, and the oak would have sunk immediately, long before the fire could have penetrated deeper than the surface. Excepting that all the grain of the wood is perfect, it is quite black throughout, like peat. Last year part •f the keel and a floor timber of the Edgar were brought up in good preservation; but this year the only sound piece was oak, through which an iron bolt. had been driven, which was itself reduced in size to less than a tenth part of its former thickness, but which, as it oxidated, had preserved the parts of the wood near and round it, but the remainder of the same piece was as soft as peat. Some bottles, shot, &c., have also been got up. The prospect of recovering all the guns of the Edgar in a very short time is by no means so promising as General Pasley and the men employed under him had anticipated at the end of last season. In the year 1840 no less than 15 iron guns were recovered in a few days, and towards the end of 1843, five more were got up, making 20 in all, one of which was broken, and as they were all at or near the surface of the anchoring ground, so that no charges of gunpowder were required to clear any of them, it was natural to conclude that the rest of them would be found with equal ease. Last week's work, however, in which only one perfect gun and two broken- ones were dis covered, renders speedy success more doubtful ; but as those which are not yet accounted for (forty-seven in number) must be at the bottom, General Pasley has directed that the lumps shall be moved from time to time, and that every effort shall be made, by sweep ing with rakes, half-anchor creepers, or otherwise, to fall in with them, for they are not buried like those of the Royal George. But unless another nest of guns (for so the seamen term a group of guns) shall be discovered, it will probably take nearly the whole season to remove them, instead of a few months, as was confidently anticipated at the end of last year. These iron guns being of no value, the only object that induced Major-General Pasley to propose to the Admiralty to approve of removing them, was to render the whole of the anchoring ground at Spithead available for the use of the Royal Navy, as it was in former times. We have seen a copy of the letter announcing the loss of the Edgar, addressed to Commissioner Townsend, by Mr. E. Barrett, dated Portsmouth Dockyard, Oct. 15, 1711, of which the following is an extract : " Hon. Sir,—Her Majesty's ship Edgar being unfor tunately blown up this day at Spithead, I humbly pre sume it may be very expedient to creep for her cables, which, with your Honour's approbation, I intend to morrow morning ; and after having found the same, to clap buoys thereon for the present, without weighing her anchors, till, together with the pilots, there be a just observation made of the hull of the said ship," &c.

COURT OF. SEWERS. A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of West minster, and part of the county of Middlesex, was held at the Sewers'-office, Greek-street, Soho, yesterday. In the absence of the Chairman, Mr. Donaldson, Mr. WILLOUGHBY was called to the chair. Several new Commissioners were sworn and took their seats, among whom was, Mr. Dodd, the Member for Maidstone, and Mr. Barry Baldwin, the Member for Totnes. _ . The routine business of the Court having in a great, measure been gone through, the Court proceeded to con sider the appeal of the Western Literary and Scientific Institution, in Leicester-square, against the payment of rates to the Sewers. After a short discussion the ap peal was refused, on the round that the tax would not ultimately fall upon the Society, but on their landlord. On the question that the Court should receive and consider the report of the Committee, on view of the drainage of Kensington New Town, and of the Kensing ton Sewer at South-end, and in the neighbourhood of Earl's-court, a short discussion took place, which ended in a motion from Mr. CIiA.DIBERS—That the report be printed pre viously to its being considered at the next Court. The motion was agreed to. On the question that the Court should receive and consider a report from the surveyors as to the state of the work in those parts of the sewer in Gloucester-road, Paddington, viz., 30 feet and 60 feet, which they consider it necessary to have rebuilt, after a short conversation, the report of the surveyors was read, which stated that they had proceeded, agreeably to the order of the Court, to remove the earth and brick-work for 30 feet and 60 feet of the sewer, and that from their inspection of it they found the upper sides of the arches in such a state as to require rebuilding, and they estimated the expense of that at 1171. Mr. B. BALDWIN, M.P., considered that the report might have been more explicit, and he would, therefore, move that the report should be referred back to the surveyors. Mr. LESLIE wished to know from Mr. Dowley, whe ther he considered the form of the arch adopted in this sewer the proper one ? Mr. DOWLEY thought that it was, provided the bank ing had been well done. In his opinion the whole bank had failed in consequence of the want of proper banking. Mr. LESLIE wished to know whether it was part of the duty of the contractor to do the banking ? Mr. DOWLEY said that it was. Mr. LESLIE was satisfied that the honour of the Court and the character of the contractors and the officers of the Court was at stake before the public. Now, all he wanted was to have the whole question fully and fairly investigated. The present was a most important question This great work—one which he contended was never required to carry off the small quantity of water that passed through the sewer—had been found to be defec tive at almost every ten feet. Within that space the arches had been found to give way for a distance of no less than 750 feet. Now, under such circumstances, was it not incumbent on the Court to inquire whether the failure had taken place in consequence of the Court having adopted the arch that had been built, or from any fault of the contractors, or from any negligence on the part of the servants of the Court? If either of the latter, the Court would know how to deal with them. Now, with respect to the first point, was there any man among the Commissioners who was virtuous enough to get up and say that what had taken . place was the fault of himself and his brother Commissioners?—(A laugh.) They ought to satisfy the public that they intended to do justice. If it was the fault of the contractor, he was bound to make it good ; if it was the fault of the Court they were bound to remedy it by leaving off the course they had pursued; and if it was the fault of the officers of the Court, they were bound to call upon them to come forward and give an explanation of the course of con duct they had pursued. Let them have an inquiry, and go boldly into the question as trustees for the public. Ile thought Mr. Dowley, Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Bell, would give their evidence much better before a jury than in that Court. It was idle to refer the report back to the surveyors, as they could not be expected to say more than they bad done. In his opinion, the whole matter ought to be opened to public investigation ; and for himself he was anxious to go to the root of the evil at once, and that could not be better effected than by summoning a jury. If the Court granted him that jury, the persons he should call before it would be General Pasley and the Rev. H. Moseley, of Queen's College. Captain BAYNE—WiII they come here without being paid ? Mr. LESLIE—I am sure I don't know; but this lam certain of, that you don't.—(Laughter.) Mr. Leslie observed, in continuation, that the only effect of re ferring the report back to the surveyors would be, to delay the matter till the next Court day, whereas, if such a course was nut adopted, they might have a jury next week. Mr. HAwxEs objected to the matter being referred back to the surveyors. Ho thought the best course would be for the Court then to adjourn, and proceed immediately to the examination of the sewers. He be lieved that the whole failure had arisen, not from a defect in banking up the walls, but from the nature of the arch. As to calling out a jury, ho thought it absurd; they had a great many scientific men in that Court, and they could decide the subject better than a jury. He should move, as an amendment, that the Court should adjourn till Tuesday next, unless they adjourned now for the purpose of examining the sewer. Mr. B. BALDWIN thought that the differences that seemed to exist in the Court showed that the report ought either to be referred back to the surveyors, or that a jury should be summoned. Mr. ALLANSON thought if the worthy Commissioner (Mr. B. Baldwin) would add to his motion, to refer the matter back to the surveyors, and that the Court should meet on Tuesday to receive their further report, all difficulty would be obviated. Mr. 13. BALDWIN adopted this suggestion, and after a short discussion the motion was agreed to. Mr. LESLIE said that the motion having been agreed to, he would postpone his motion which stood in . the paper for that dly, till Tuesday. The CHAIRMAN thought that, as the motion stood for that day it ought to be proceeded with, and he should altogether object to its being either withdrawn or post • poned. Mr. LESLIE said that he had consented to postpone the motion at the request of several members of the Court. The CHAIRMAN said he should certainly put the motion to the Court if the worthy Commissioner would not proceed with it. Mr. LESLIE observed that if he was to be forced in that way he must go on with his motion, but if he took up more time of the Court than the Commissioners ex pected they must blame themselves and not him for it. The Commissioner then proceeded at some length to contend, that the cause of the failure of .bile sewer ought to be made as public as possi e, or the character of the Court would bo con siderably, lessened. The Worthy Commissioner concluded by making the mo ti o n of which he had moa ed given fo r te notice, p r o p t o h s e e e o ff f cc pr t o h n a o t u a n . e j y g , a ch .s o .e u r l c c i l ic b t e a s us to the cause of the failure in the sewer. N objected to the motion. He was not The CHAIRMA N desirous of screening anybody. If the Court had com mitted an error, let it come manfully forward, acknow ledge it, and take care not to do it again. The Worthy Commissioner had entirely misunderstood the statute. The jury that Court could summon could not effect the purposes that the Worthy Commissioner had in view. Added to this, there could be no necessity for summoning a jury, because, if it was the fault of the Court itself, they must take care not to do the like in future. If it was the fault of the contractor, the Court had their remedy against them in Westminster Hall; and if it was the fault of the officers of the Court, the Commissioners would surely know how to deal with them, without the intervention of a jury. Mr. G. GUTCH thought the report that would be re ceived on Tuesday would develop the whole clause of what had taken place. Mr. HAwxEs thought the calling out of a jury would be a most cumbersome mode of proceeding. If the Court was not competent to act for itself, he thought the sooner they abrogated their duties for that of a jury the better. After some discussion, Mr. LESLIE replied ; and, upon a division, the motion was lost by a majority of 10, there being 3 for it, and 13 against it. On the motion of bin FULLER, Mr. Bird, one of the contractors of the Court, was ordered to attend the Court on Tuesday next. The Court, at a late hour, adjourned to Tuesday next, at twelve o'clock. Lord Stanley arrived in town yesterday afternoon, from Lancashire. WHITEHALL, MAY 17.

This was an action for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter, and was set down for hearing this morning. The jury were sworn, and Mr. M. J. Martyn was pro ceeding on the part of the plaintiff to open the pleadings, when a communication was made by the defendant's agent to Mr. Martley, Q.C., plaintiff's leading counsel, who immediately after receiving it informed the Court that it would not be necessary to trouble his Lordship with the case, the parties having come to an arrange ment. The Loarned Gentleman suggested that, as the jury had been sworn, the best course to take was to withdraw a juror. Judge PERRIN asked, was there to be a verdict ? Mr. Martley replied in the negative. Judge PERRIN then discharged the jury. The compromise was effected by Mr. O'Grady paying a sum of 601. to Miss Gerity. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. SEDUCTION—JAMES READE V. EDWARD HUDSON, GEN TLEMAN, ATTORNEY. This ease was called on for hearing at the sitting of the Court, and a special jury were empannelled to try it. After some conversation between the Learned Gentle men engaged on either side. Mr. MOORE, Q.C. (addressing the Court) stated that the present action had been arranged, and it was agreed that a verdict for 2501. in favour of the plaintiff, and the costs, when taxed, should be entered as the verdict of the jury, This was accordingly done, to the great sur prise and apparent annoyance of a densely crowded Court, and the parties interested then retired. The defendant in this action, a particularly well-look ing and fashionable person, about 30 years of age, re sides at Gardiner's-place, and is a member of the Dublin Corporation. Miss Reade, the daughter of the plaintiff, moves in the humble class of life. She is re presented as being a highly-gifted and most talented modeller, some of whose specimens in wax-work have attracted the attention and elicited the marked appro bation of several highly respectable families, including the Lord-Lieutenant and Countess De Grey. The young lady, who appeared at the entrance ok the Nisi Prius Court, before the record was called on, was very modestly attired, and seemed to labour under consider able excitement. She was introduced, rumour has it, about fifteen months since, to Mr. Hudson by the elder member of a wealthy family, residing on the north side of the city. An intimacy sprang up—correspondence ensued—the defendant promised marriage—and with those professions succeeded in procuring herconfidence, which he subsequently betrayed. The damages were laid at 2,0001. Among the witnesses in attendance on the part of the defendant were eight or nine ladies of reputed easy virtue. Their evidence, had the case gone on, would have been relied upon as tending to damnify Miss Reade's character previous to her acquaintanceship with Miss Hudson. Happily, however, the Court was spared the painful task of recording such testimony. THE TEN HOURS' BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Having been a constant reader of your journal ever since the present Ministers came into office, and a close watcher of your straightforward con duct in defence of the labouring class, sorry am I to see you support Lord Ashley's Bill in the manner which you do. Could I but have you linked to my side for one single week ! I enter the factory at six in the morning, allowed for breakfast half-an-hour, for dinner three-quarters, for tea half-an-hour and leave work at eight o'clock ; and I must say I should; be sorry were I compelled to leave off sooner or to work later ; and no persons enjoy life better than myself and fellow-workmen. The firm for which I work is the most extensive in this district, and turns out the very finest woollen cloths ; and were there a reduction of the hours of labour the employed and employers would fare much worse. I can safely say the only happy hours I spend are in the factory, and reading your journal. If you were with me a week you would think otherwise. I am yours respectfully, J. T. Huddersfield, May 16, 1844. P.S. I have worked in a factory fifteen years, and not had a day's sickness. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. GREENLAND FISHERY.

These operations are superintended by Lieutenant Barlow, of the Royal Engineers, acting under the diree tionsof Major-Gen era l P as l ey , w ho, after removing th e remains of the wreck o f t h e R o y a l George last season, was desirous of removing the guns of the Edgar also, which now form the only obstruction to the anchorage at Spithead, and submitted a plan for that purpose to the Lord s of the Admiralty last year, which, having been app rove d and sanctioned by their Lordships, is now being carried into effect at the expense of the naval department. Lieutenant Barlow, according to his orders, proceeded from Woolwich on the Ist of May with a detachment of 25 non commissioned officers and privates of the Royal and Hon. East India Com pany's Sappers and Miners, volunteers for this ser vice, and conducted them by a river steamboat to Vaux hall, and thence by the South-Western Railway to Gos port, where they were put on board the Success frigate hulk, which still remains in Portsmouth harbour, the weather having been so unfavourable that she could not be moored at Spithead on that day, as had been proposed. Next morning a number of naval pen sioners and other workmen were engaged, giving the preference to those who had been employed in the opera tions against the Royal George the year before; after which the Success was sent out to Spithead, and moored to the northward of the wreck of the Edgar, but near it, whilst Nos. 4 and 5 lighters, or lumps, the same that had been then employed, were moored over it, and the diving com menced on Saturday, the 4th, but without success. On Monday, the 6th of May, Corporal Jones, of the Royal Sappers and Miners, sent up an iron 18-pounder gun, covered with an incrustation of mud and pebbles, formed into a sort of conglomerate by the; oxide of iron, with oysters adhering to it, on removing which the metal was so soft, that it could be indented by the nail, and when cut off and scraped small or pounded, it became extremely hot, and did not cool again for some hours when tied up in paper. On the 9th, Lance Corporal Girvan sent up the muzzle part of an 18-pounder, which had been broken in two just in front of the trunnions; and on the 10th Corporal Jones sent up the breech part of another 18-pounder, to which the trunnions were attached, but these fragments belonged to different guns,. The above-mentioned corporals are now the only experienced divers employed ; but three other military divers beside them work daily on the same spot, who are frequently changed, in order to ascertain those who are most likely to be useful. Some of them have been much distressed, for the depth is 131 fathoms at low water, but others are very promising, the difference between those who fail and those who succeed not depending, however, upon physical strength, but upon some peculiarity in the con stitution of the individuals, for they are all healthy, ac tive men in the prime of life. On Monday, the 13th of May, Major-General Pasley paid his first visit to Spithead, and found everything well arranged and well conducted, as Admiral Hyde Parker, the superintendent of the Dockyard had afforded . every necessary aid both fitments, stores, and men, having sent the same skilful and experienced riggers in the lumps, and having order e d out the Drake sailing lighter to Spithead to r ece ive and load the guns recovered, whilst her ma s t er a nd crew assist in the work. Including the veter an p ens ioners, the total number cf soldiers, sailors, &c., employed daily is more than 100 ; but the operations will not be so interesting as those of the Royal George, no great charges of gun powder being required, and no large masses of timber . Mainly& THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHL. We understand the Great Wizard of the North has succeeded in engaging Mademoiselle Rossini, the great Italian lady violinist, who has lately created so great a sensation on the Continent. Her execution, we are in formed (by competent judges) is not inferior to that of Paganini. If this be true, the sooner the Wizard thinks of enlarging the Adelphi Theatre the better—though it will be an easy task to him, who can do greater impossi bilities, by the touch of his necromantic wand. The lovers of Scotland will have a great national treat next week at the . Adelphi. The Wizard of the North has engaged the Highland Dancers and Pipers, who ap peared before the Queen at Dunheld and Teymouth Castle, during her Majesty's recent visit to the Land of Cakes. To the English this will be a great treat ; it will convey to the mind a style perfectly unknown in England. To the Scotchman, it will warm his heart to see the tartan, and delight his ears, to hear the sound of his native pipes. We are quite certain next week it will be "Caledonia, on to the Wizard !" The Wizard deserves great praise for the manner in which he caters for the public. We wish managers would take a leaf out of his book. We are perfectly astonished—go when we will to the Adelphi, it is always crowded. Tho Wizard must be making gold by magic. Wo should suppose lie will have a pretty round suns to give th© collector of the Income-tax, unless he can pay it a la presto !

Many thousands of children are cured annually by this remedy; on the first attack, an immediate application of the EM B ROCA. TION will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constitution, and a few times using may completely cure. In most cases one bot. tie wifl produce the desired effect ; and no remedy can be so well cal culated for children as this, as it is an entire outward application, and requires no medicine to be taken internally. The Proprietor of this Embrocation has the pleasing s atisfaction of stating that many eminent members of the l'aculty constantly recom mend it as the only known safe and perfect cure. In no case can this medicine be genuine unless signed en the wrapper, "J. ROCHE." Price 4s. and 11.25. per Bottle. Sold by E.
