UPTON'S PARISIAN GOLD DETERGENT instantly restores the original splendour of gilding, however faded or tarnished removes 4-spots, and renders covering from the fly unnecessary.

All are innoxious and inoffensive. N.B.—Upton and Co. are in possession of numerous testimonials, many from persons of the highest rank. They, however, content themselves with referring to the recent trials made by the proprie. 'ore of the Liverpool Chronicle and the Nottingham Review : " We first tried the Gold Detergent on a costly looking-glass frame that had been a few years gilt. It removed the whole cf the fly-spots, the dust, and stains; and the frame has now the appearance and brilliancy of the day when it left the workman's hands. We next experimented on two very old frames—from their colour we were almost in doubt whether they were gilded or not. The Detergent, however, soon convinced us of the tact, by removing the accumulated stains and tarnish of many years; these frames have now the appearance of being nearly new."—Vide Liverpool Chro nicle Jan. 27, 1844, •• We have tried the Gold Detergent upon several old picture frames, and must confess we are very agreeably surprised at the result; for it restores the splendour of gilding with very little trouble.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 14.—Lord Dorchester, with his fa mily and suite, have arrived at Brussels, on his way from London to Saxony. The capital required for the construction of a railroad from Bonn to Coblentz is estimated at 3,500,000 dollars, and shares to that amount will be issued. The share holders in the railroad from Bonn to Cologne are en titled to 876,000 dollars in the shares. There remained, therefore, only 2,624,000. On the 22d instant the subscription in the cities of Bonn, Coblentz, and Cologne, amounted to 19,012,300 dollars. Our communications with England by the mails are very important, both with respect to our commerce and because they contribute to make some addition to the public revenue. On this account we call the attention of our readers to a letter, written by a German, and published by the English Globe, though we do not pretend to answer for the accuracy of the statements it contains. The writer observes on the absurdity of the present sys tem in the transit of letters for Germany, sent by way of Ostend. Thus a letter from London to Aix-la-Chapelle sent by this route pays twenty-pence postage; whereas the same letter, sent by way of Calais, to the extreme frontier of Austria, pays only fivepence. A letter to Frankfort, sent by way of Ostend, also pays twenty pence ; and sent by way of Rotterdam, it pays eight pence. The writer of the letter ascribes the continuance of such a state of things to Belgium, to which it is much more profitable than to England. AN ACCOUNT OF THE KANSAS.—" A chief of the Chilocathe band remarked that the Indians showed mercy to the white men when they first came across the great water and were weak and could but just get up the bank. The In dian was then like the trees, erect and strong ; the white man like the grass, easily bent, and waving with the wind. The white man came to the Indian four times with his hat under his arm, and asked the Indian to have mercy on him, for he was poor and needy. White man say, when Indian is poor and needy, he would have mercy on him as long as grass grows and water runs. Indian then let him come on the land and live ; he now wanted white man to remember his promise, and have mercy on the Indian, for he was poor and needy, and not remove him any further."—Transactions of the Aborigines' Protection Society. RAILWAY ENTERPRISE. —Scarce fifteen years have elapsed since railways became a fact to the public under standing. Blunders innumerable have been committed, money has been wasted by millions, yet have they spread in all directions over the face of the island. They have set the pattern for half the world, and from English workshops has a large portion of the materiel of foreign lines been furnished, even before the permanent form has been attained, while struggling forwards towards the perfect state. And all this has been done, not by a go vernment, but by individuals. The first and foremost work of civilisation is the making of a road. The making of roads, which will put a final close to the large mass of cruelty annually inflicted on horses— which substitutes steam for muscle—is a far higher triumph of civilisation. What railways have really done for us in labour-saving, we have yet no statistics to verify ; but the annual accumulation of capital thereby must be of a largo amount. What they have done to wards the progress of- national education, in breaking down provincial prejudice, is of still greater value What they will do, when they shall emerg e from their. infancy, and attain their full growth, fills the heart with the with hope to think of. The steam-boat has bridged ocean ; but it is the railway that spans the land, and will ultimately make all men brethren. —The Railway Record. AMERICAN MERCY...—Jonathan's heart of dollars has somewhat relented.

Some accounts from Paris would lead to the belief that the health of the King is not satisfactory, but, judging from his frequent visits to Versailles and other places, and the large parties invited every evening to the Palace, little credit can be attached to these reports. On Monday evening he received the Austrian Ambassador, the Ministers of Bavaria, Baden, the Netherlands, the Hanseatic towns, Tuscany, and Denmark, Rear-Admiral Le Ray, Marshal Molitor, Generals the Marquis de St. Simon, Count Dejean, and Jacqueminut, the Marquis de Rochambeau, Count d'Haubersaert, Viscount d'Archiac, Baron DefFaudis, the Chevalier and Mine. Macedo, MM. Conte, Robineau, de Bougon, Espdronnier, and Hebert, the Duchess de Valencay, the Countess de Boignes and de Luxbourg, and Mme,Peruzzi. The I . trnal du Havre of Monday, in announcing the ap • pearance there of the Prince de Joinville, says :—" On Sa turday, at about one o'clock, a traveller, very simply attired, went to the office of the Morlaisien steamer, to engage his passage. Your name, sir,' said the bookkeeper. My name? write the Prince de Joinville.' The bookkeeper, who heard him imperfectly, instantly wrote a receipt in the name of M. Blin de Joinville." The National, and almost all the opposition Paris papers, blame the Spanish promotions in the Legion of Honour. The National, after mentioning that the grand cross of the Legion of Honour had been conferred upon the Duke de Baylen, calls this an act of anti-nationality worthy of the Man of Ghent, which cannot be sufficiently reprobated. " A strange report was current to day," says the Courrier Francais, " at one of the offices of a Ministerial department, relative to the marine excursion which the Prince de Join ville has gone on to the western ports. It was affirmed that he was travelling by superior order, and that he had been formally prohibited from seeing, before his departure, Capt. iteine, aide-de-camp to Admiral Dupetit Thouars. It was added that the Prince de Joinville had proved hostile to M. Guizot's policy in the Tahiti affair, and that his eloi gnemen t by order might ve r y p oss ibl y b e a little disgrace." We find, V the Moniteur Algerien of the 10th inst., that the Duke de Montpensier arrived at Algiers that morning, on board the steam-frigate the Labrador, and was received on landing by the Governor-General and the whole of the civil and military authorities. His Royal Highness was in perfect health. A letter from Algiers of the 10th inst., in the Gazette de France, represents Abd-el-Kader as having once more risen from his ashes, and made an inrcad in the environs of Oran with 1,000 horsemen, instead of the 150 which the bulletins of the last campaign left him, and as having killed 900 men belonging to the tribes who had made their submission to France. We learn from Vienna, April 9, that a duel, arising from very frivolous causes, took place lately in the environs of Presburg, between the Count S. de Schoenbom-Wiesenthied and Captain Baron Amstein. At the third discharge the Count, who was only thirty years of age, but who had already fought several duels, was killed by the ball of his antagonist. The Universal German Gazette states from Kalisch, in Poland, April 5, that six Russian deserters were lately sen tenced to receive 1,500 lashes each. Three of them are stated to have died under the effects of the punishment, and the three others tollave been transported to Siberia. Lbw AND POLICE. At the Central Criminal Court, Mr. W. Read was ac quitted on the charge of forcing Captain W. Simpson to sink, at sea, the brig Colina. The verdict was received with ap plause by the Court. Simpson was then called up forjudg ment, and sentenced to be transported for life. A woman, named Mary Walters, was brought before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-House, by the authorities of Bishopsgate, upon the charge of having abandoned her set tlement in Gloucestershire, to which she and her four children had been regularly passed from St. Botolples, Bishopsgate, to which she and her children became thus a serious bur den. She was sent to Bridewell for a month, and the children were taken to Norwood. Jane IValker, a showily-dressed, pretty-looking girl, 18 years of age, was charged at Queen-square with having robbed her father, an aged and infirm pensioner from- the Coldstream Guards, of 4L 10s. It was the amount of his quarter's pension, which he had just received, and given the daughter to pay the bills of the tradesmen who were in 'The habit of trusting him till he received his money, but she expended it all in purchasing dress. Only 9d. was found on her. The Magistrate consi dering it a breach of trust rather than a felony, dismissed the girl ; but on quitting the Court she used such violent threats to her old father, that she was again taken into custody and sent to prison for 21 days. Mary Hammond and Mary Ann Davis, late in the service of Mrs. Storer, residing at 5, Upper Hyde Park-street, Pad dington, were charged at Marylebone with having robbed the lady above alluded to of property of different descnp tions. Some of the articles stolen were produced and iden tified by Mrs. Storer, and the prisoners were committed for trial. John Shields, a respectable-looking young man, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, at Union-hall, for re-exami nation, charged with forging and uttering bills of exchange, with intent to defraud Aaron Smith, ship-owner, and bill discounter. The amount forged is between 6001. and 700/. Some further evidence was adduced, and he was again re manded. Margaret Brown, the wife of a tradesman in Broadwall, was charged at the same office with attempting to destroy herself. The unfortunate woman precipitated herself at six o'clock in the morning from Waterloo-bridge, and the tide running down at the time she was carried midway between the two bridges, and picked up, being found floating on her back. Ou an inquiry into the circumstances which led her to attempt the rash act, it appeared her father, to whom she was greatly attached, died a few days ago, since which she had been in a low desponding state. She was given up to her husband. COURT-WASHIONABLE.

Lord and Lady Farnham arrived at Mivart's Hotel on Wednesday from Southampton, and in the afternoon departed for Gray's Court, Lady Stapleton's seat, near Henley-on- Thames, from whence they will come to town on Saturday. His Excellency Baron Brunnow was prevented from being present at her Majesty's Drawing-room yesterday, at St. James's Palace, by a family affliction. His Excellency and Baroness Brunnow's dinner party last evening was put off from the same cause. _ _ We understand that Lord Wodehouse, the Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk, is about to break up his extensive establishments both at Kimberley and Wilton Park, in that county, and to proceed forthwith to the Continent, for a lengthened period.

It appeared that the unfortunate man was a coalwhipper, having a wife and young family. From some reason, he was compelled to re sort for a short time to the above workhouse, where he had been an inmate for the last seven days, and yesterday morn ing was employed in breaking stones in the yard, from which occupation he was suddenly missed; and one of the paupers having occasion to go to the watercloset, he found the door fastened on the inside, and on its being forced open, deceased was discovered hanging by his neckerchief from a nail behind the door. On being cut down he was found to be quite dead. The only cause that can be assigned for the rash act is the dread that he would be entirely separated from his wife and family, by his being obliged to remain an inmate of the work house. Ell , - ---2. M. REINE AND THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. The Paris Globe has the following witty article on the imprisonment of Admiral Dupetit Thouars' messenger:— " The Constitutionuel calls upon the Minister of the Marine to lay M. Reine on the table of the Chamber ef Deputies. M. Billault must absolutely put M. Reine under his arm, and carry him in like a bundle of papury, for the Opposition cries aloud for him, even with sound of trumpets. But, has sot the barbarous M. Guizot put M. Reine into a cage, and does he not feed him with sugar and biscuit, like a blue bird of the tropics ? Al ready the portresses of Paris whine over the fate of Reine, and the young girls of the Rue Royale, with their eyes fixed on the hotel of the Minister of the Ma rine, sing in doleful tune the song of the Pi isonnier— Lorsque dans cette tour obscure, M. Reine est dans la doulour, Mon cceur, guide par la nature, Sait compatir A son maiheur. Quand j'entends sa plainte touchante, Je deviens triste chaque jour. Maman, ne sois pas m‘contente, La Pitie n'est pas de l'amour.'—(Bis.) M. Reine has found the means of throwing the French nation into despair. He will not talk. Throe ..h out his passage he has had the infamy of not conlitbn 4 to all ;the sailors on board that which he was eh:lige:l to confide only to the French Government. On arrival at Bordeaux, he did not even say a word t the waiter of the Ilotel de Rouen, to which he wen:; had the impertinence of keeping the same rest re towards the postillions who drove him to Pare!, and, t.ll alighting at the Hotel de la Cour des Poste:, instead of going, as he ought to have done, to M. Billault, or M. Ledrii Rollin, be had the weakness to go to the Minister of Marine, and since that moment has not written t4' a single journal. M. Dupetit Thouars says . in his retort that M. Reine is a distinguished officer. In fact, ato but a man of mind and understanding could thus ha,, possessed the rare resolution of remaining silent. If Reine persists in ant speaking, Admiral Billault have him hung at the 3ard•arm of the dismasted vessel of the Left-Centre. In the eyes of M. Billault, nitre cannot be a greater crime than rot talking ; this, no doubt, it is that makes him so loquacious, particularly when lie has got nothing to talk about." HOURS OF LABOUR DURING LAST CENTURY.— Most of the speakers in favour of a. Ten Hours' Bill seem to take for granted, that, previous to the invention of the steam engine, and the consequent extension of the fac tory system, the hours of labour were much shorter than they are at present ; and a great deal of sentimenta!isin has been wasted in the columns of the Morning Post, and other journals, about the tendency of mechanical improve ments to increase, instead of abridging, the toil of mane • lecturing operatives. Unfortunately for Lord Ashley and his followers, this notion, like nearly all the oth. r statements on which they build their theories, is not founded on fact. At present the hours of labour iit almost every branch of industry are much shorter than they were a century ago; and this improvement is chiefly owing, we believe, to the increased demand for labour arising from the extension of manufactures. In the London Tradesman, published in 1757, a table is given of the hours of working in the various trades of London and Westminster, from which we learn, flint, out of 220 trades, there were 32 in which the persors employed worked 15 hours a day; 140 in which they worked 14 hours; 19 in which they worked In hours; and only 29, out of the whole number, in which the daily hours of labour were restricted to 12. We have no means of comparing this calculation with any general table of the working hours of the trades of Lon don at the present day; but we believe it will be found, that, in most instwances where 14 or 15 hours a day was the rule previous to the extension of manufactures, 12 or 13 hours is the custom now. With all this improve ment, however, we feel persuaded that the hours of labour. may be made still shorter than they are at present, without reducing the wages of the operative; but then it must not be by legislative interference, or the remedy will be, worse than the disease. In the case of the London arti sans, the hours of labour have been reduced without the aid of any Lord Ashley or Richard Oastler, but simply by the increased demand for labour, which has taken place during the last hundred years, and the consequent im provement in the condition of the workpeople. Should we retain our manufacturing superiority, it is reasonabtf i to suppose that the same cause will continue to oper A t e in the same direction ; but, as the Ten Hours' Bill advo cates are opposed to the extension, and consequently to the prosperity, of the manufacturing system, %Ts cannot help viewing them as the most dangerous oppone n t s o f a salutary reduction of the hours of labour.—Afanehester. Guardian. THE PUBLIC OFFICES.—In these mays of rigia economy any diminution, however slight, occurring in the expenditure of the various public offices aml establishments will, no doubt, be viewed with considerable satisfaction. 460 Parliamentary paper, containing an abstract of the aecountA' of every increase and diminution which has taken place within the year 1843, the number of persons employed, and the salaries, allowances, and expenses in all public offices or departments, pursuant to the Act 4 and U William IV., cap. 24, has just been printed by order of the House of Commons. On examining this document we find that whilst the gross total increase, which has occurred during the past year .in the salaries and emoluments of the said public offices and establishments, amounts to the sum of 62,837/.

DANGEROUS Fitouc.—On Wednesday evening last, shortly before nine o'clock, a most serious accident oc curred to a gentleman named Walmesley, residing at Plum stead. It appears that Mr. Walmesley was, accompanied by a friend, returning from London to Plumstead in his gig, and whilst proceeding along the road at a steady pace, the horse,„ which is a most spirited animal, took fright at some young fellows dressed up in a style which would do credit to any madmen, and dashed off at a fearful rate across Bl ac kh eat h , precipitating Mr. Walmesley and his friend out of the gig with frightful violence. Mr. Walmesley's friend escaped with a few slight bruises, but he was not so fortunate himself, for upon being taken home and medical assistance called for, it was discovered that he had broken his right arm in two places, and dislocated his collar bone, besides receiving! severe fracture of the:skull on the right side, an d seine dread- ful lacerations about various parts of hi s b o dy ; 'altogetteezr: the injuries he has received render it very doubtful whether he can survive. The horse was stopped about half a from the spot, uninjured, but the gig was literally dashed to atoms. From what we could learn respecting the true cause of the accident, it appears that for some time past as they p ass three or four young gentlemen had been in the through Greenwich and Woolwich every ha dressingnight,of and themselves up in the most ludicrous style imaginable, throwing themselves about in all manner of attitudes, much . in . they meet. Do u btl ess to the annoyance of all persons whom they have no intention of doing injury, but we trust this my act as a warning to them in f uture.
