THE VEGETABLE TOOTH-POWDER has so long been in general use, that it is unnecessary to offer any further recommendation of it. Composed of Ve getables, without the admixture of any Mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual objection against the use of other Dentrifices. Its detersive power is just suf ficient to annihilate those destructive particles which adhere to the Gums and the Interstices of the Teeth ; healing inju ries in the former, and promoting a new*Enamel (where it has been injured or corroded) on the latter. It likewise im parts a firmness and healthy redness to the Gums; and; if used regularly, will preserve the Teeth in a sound state to old age.

HONOURED SIR, IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal, which, from its obstinately resisting every course et medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the must inveterate nature. In the spring of last year my chortler had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, one on each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years; my' left had also two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed, as nearly to deprive me of rest ; iu this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to do on the 26th o. May ; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benefit—in little more than a month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed— soon after, the sores oa my legs healed also; leaving, how ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, ansl a little longer per severance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going off.—l thus became, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my former complaints—have recovered my former spirits and strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew we, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg you, for the. good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as pos s ible, as I shall on every occa sion; in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant,.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY.-TUESDAY, APRIL 16. RYDER AND OTHERS V. PEMBERTON. Mr. HART moved for an injunction to restrain the defend ants, Thomas and Edwin Pemberton, from transferring certain Bank Annuities standing in their names as executors of their father, the late Samuel Pemberton. The testator died in 1803, and left to each of his children, who were eight in number, the sum of 4,0001., to be invested in Bank Annuities for their use and benefit ; and he appointed as his executors his widow and the two defendants. The defendants were now the only execu tors, their mother having died in 1817. The plaintiff was a daughter of the testator, and she complained that her brothers, the executors, refused to account to her for the interest of her 4,0001. It might be necessary to inform the Court, that an in junction of a similar nature to that now prayed for had been granted at the suit of a sister of the plaintiff. The parties, however, had no come to a compromise, and were about to dissolve the injunction which rendered the present application necessary. His Lordship granted the injunction. BARTON V. Mr. HEALD moved for a writ ne exeat regno under the fol lowing circumstances :—Some time in 1821 the plaintiff, Eliza beth Barton, was married to Mr. George Barton, upon which occasion a marriage settlement was drawn up between the par ties, in which the bridegroom stipulated that the sum of 2001. 4 with accruing interest, should be invested in Government Or other securities, for the benefit of the bride. The defendant, whom he would not at present name, for reasons which must be obvious to the Court, was appointed trustee under this settle ment, and was at this moment possessed of 2091. Bs., which the plaintiff claimed as her money, and of which she was ap prehensive of being altogether deprived, since she found that the defendant had actually embarked with the whole of his family on board the ship Mary, with the intention of proceed ing to the United States to settle there. The ship would sail immediately, when it should clear the Custom-house.—lnjunc tion granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 16. ,MURRAY V. KING AND ANOTHER. This was an action on a bond for 2,6001., conditioned for the payment of a bill of exchange for 1,3001. The defence relied upon was, that the consideration of the bill partly consisted of other bills, for which an usurious discount was taken. The usury sworn to, however, was only 121. per cent., while the de fendant's plea alleged it to have been 151. Mr. CAMPBELL, therefore, on the part of the plaintiff, con tended that the evidence did not support the plea. Mr. SCARLET T, for the defendants, argued that the plea was substantially proved, by shewing that more than the legal in terest had been received, which was sufficient without proving the precise sum set forth by the pleader. The LORD CHIEF JUSICE, however, held that it was ne cessary, in order to support the plea, to prove the usury to the full extent alleged in the pleading. Verdict for'for the plaintiff, 1,0001. lIERRING A7jtl:l ANOTHER V. GOWLAND AND ANOTHER. This was an action by Messrs. Herring and Richardson owners of the ship Frances and Eliza to recover a loss sustain ed by theth in Consequence of; the breach of duty of William The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. CAMPBELL conduct ed the plaintiffs' case, and Mr. SCARLETT the defendants'. The case was this .—ln the year 1014, the plaintiffs freight ed the vessel with convicts for Government to New South Wales, intending that she should take in a cargo of coffee from Batavia to England. The testator was the Captain.— In the outward voyage she was. captured by an American frigate, but after a short detention permitted to resume her voyage. After delivering the convicts at Botany Bay, she proceeded to Batavia and took in a cargo of coffee. — By Act of Parliament, British vessels are prohibited from landing coffee in bulk, and .it is. expressly required that the. coffee should be made tip in bags, boxes, or other packages ; it was alleged that the testator, in breach of his duty, had carried the coffee in question in bulk, having for•that purpose cut, or untied the bags, and thrown it loose into the hold. When the vessel arrived, the cargo was seized for this cause, being in breach of the Act of Parliament. In order to release the cargo, the plaintiffs were obliged to memorialise the Treasury, .and they got back the cargo upon paying certain fines, which, toge ther with incidental expences, amounted to 6001. The Captain had died on the voyage homewards, and it appeared that he had been an old and faithful servant of the plaintiff's. • Mr. SCARLETT contended in point of law that the action would not lie, and animadverted ni* the 'hardship of the action, considering the profits which the plaintiff had made by the voyage, and the irreproachable character and meritorious conduct of the deceased, who had left a very small property for the maintenance of an aged mother. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion, that the action would certainly lie for the negligence of the deceased, who was bound to know his duty in the particular mentioned, but it was for the Jury to say to what amount the plaintiffs had been damnified. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 2031. ss. THORN - TON AND OTHERS V. BUSK.. This was an action on a breach of contract. The plaintiff's, Messrs. Thornton and Co., are merchants trading to Russia.— In Nov. 1820, they contracted with the defendant for the sale of a quantity of tallow, to be shipped from their house at St. Petersburgh in the month of July following, by a vessel, the name of which they would notify to him as soon as they learned it. The tallow having been shipped in June by the Comet, they advised the defendant accordingly ; but upon finding that, by the terms of the contract, (which did not run in the ordin ary form with the words " on or before,") the tallow was, to be shipped in July; they apprised him of the mistake, informing him at the same time that he might have his choice of either the tallow conveyed by the Comet, or tallow to be ship ped by come other vessel in the month of July. A fall, hosiever, having taken, place in the market, and the de fendant supposing that the plaintiff's mistake had ren dered the contract unbinding upon him, declined to abide by it, and refused to take the tallow. The plaintiffs, therefore, disposed of it at a loss, and brought this action to recover the amount of the difference between the sum for which they ac tually sold it, and that for which the defendant had contracted to purchase it. The LORD CrirEr JUSTICE was clearly of opinion that the plaintiff's had performed the conditions of the contract on their parts, and that the defendant was bound, in point of law, to adhere to it. Under his Lordship's direction, therefore, the Jury found for the plaintiffs--Damages 2471. TAYLOR V. MACKINSON. This was an action against the defendant, for alleged negli gence as a Solicitor, in not opposing for the plaintitea Petition presented to the Lord Chancellor by William Partington, a Lancashire attorney, against a Commission of Bankrupt which had been sued out against him. The plaintiff having failed in proving a legal retainer of the defendant, was--Nonsuited. COMMON JURY. DOE ON THE DEMISE OF JOHN REID V. GODWIN. . _ This was an ejectment to recover the possession of a house, No. 41, Skinner-street, which had been won in the City Lot tery by a person under whom the plaintiff derived title. The defendant, who is , a Gentleman of some celebrity, carries on the business of a bookseller in Skinner—street, and had for some years occupied the house in question without paying rent, in consequence of not knowing who his landlord was. The plaintiff now made out his title through Mr. Rolfe, the builder, who had conveyed it to him. The defendant having attorned tenant to Mr. Rolfe, and the plaintiff's legal title being made out. The JURY , under the Learned Judge's directions, found for the plaintiff—Damages one shilling. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. COUNTY RATES.—Yesterday a Petition was presented, signed by a number of distinguished individuals residing in the parish of St. Mary-le-bone, and other places, supported by Mr. ALLEY and Mr. ADOLPHUS, praying that they might have access to the Treasurer's books, for the purpose of in specting the Rates. In the course of the discussion, allusion was made by Mr. ALLEY and the CHAIRMAN to the late defalcation in that department. The COURT recommended the parties to apply to the Court of King's Bench for a ALindanzus, Calling upon the Magi strates of the County to let the Petitioners have access to the Treasurer's books. The further hearing ()Mlle matter, however, is appointed for to-morrow, that being the Appeal day. John Simmons, a tailor, in Down-street, Piccadilly, was in dicted for a gross and indecent assault upon Rebecca Burt, lady's maid to Miss Deering, of Queen-street, May-fair, on the 28th of January last. Mr. ADOLPIIITS, who conducted the prosecution, stated, that on the day mentioned in the indictment the prosecutrix was passing through Chapel-street, May-fair, when the defendant, in company with another man, met her, and that Simmons took fast hold of her in a most indecent manner, and threw her down with great violence into the street, whereby her side was seriously hurt, which obliged her to be confined to bed for se veral days ; during which time she was attended by Mr. Heavi side, the surgeon, and afterwards visited by another medical gentleman. The prosecutrix proved her case as stated by Mr. Adolphus, and the defendant was found guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. A CHILD OF MISFORTUNE.-A genteel-looking youth, apparently about 18 years of age, applied yesterday to the Sit ting Magistrates, Sir RICHARD BIRNIE and Mr. HALLS, for some relief, and - related circumstances of his own history which excited a strong feeling of commiseration. He said he was the natural son of a gentleman, whose name he begged leave, from a motive of delicacy, to be excused from stating publicly, but who was now living in considerable splendour. .11 7 hen he was an infant, an Irish gentleman of fortune, flamed Callam, mar ried his mother, adopted him as his own child, and treated him with the greatest possible kindness. He placed him, when at a proper age, under the tuition of a clergyman, and after wards at the University of Dublin, and uniformly expressed his intention to make such a provision for him as would enable him to support the rank of a gentleman. Unfortunately, how ever, he died suddenly, without making a will, and there being no children by the marriage, the whole of his property reverted back to his own relations. His (applicant's) mother did not long survive her husband, and he was thrown destitute upon the world. His father, meanwhile, had gone to India ; and having no other resource, he came to London and applied to his father's brother, who was then a very eminent professional man at the west end of the town, and who, upon hearing his story, treated him with much kindness, gave him money, and promised to procure him a commission in the army. To keep him in employment until the necessary arrangements could be made, he placed him at Mr. Jupp's, the hatter, in Bond-street, where he remained for some time, with the happiest prospects •before him. This was the state of things, when death suddenly deprived him of his second benefactor, who, while out hunting, was thrown from his horse, and killed almost on the spot. This was about a year and a half ago, and since that period his fa ther had returned from India ; and although he had himself amassed a large fortune, and inherited the property of his de ceased brother, he positively refused to render him any assist ance. , He turned a deaf ear to all his entreaties, and although the present Lord Mayor of London and Sir Robert Baker, to whom he had made known his case, had - strongly interested themselves in his behalf, the result was still the same—his father would do nothing for him. He was now completely de stitute, and with every willingness to earn a livelihood, he was unable to procure employment. At the close of his naritiVe, which was frequently interrupted by strong emotion, the unfortunate youth handed -in a paper Sir RICHARD BeRNIE, after asking the youth several ques tions, remarked on the singular want of feeling evinced by his father • and expressed his willingness to do soniething for him if it should be in his power. . Mr. HALLS, who appeared to have Some previous knowledge of the circumstances, also expressed his astonishment at the' conduct of the father, and his own- wish .to .do something for. the yoUth. Sir R. BIRN/n humanely gave him a sovereign, and when the two worthy man ' istrates, had consulted for some time to gether, they desired him to call again in a day or two, and as sured him that in the interim they would not he idle in his behalf. The youth before he left .the office communicated the name of his father privately to the Magistrates, but beyond that it did not transpire. A NEW CLAIMANT TO THE Cnowx.—The business of the office experienced a temporary, interruption in the course-of the morning by the appearance of 'a wild-looking and seemingly half-starved man, with tattered garments, and closely shaven crown, and without a hat, who advancing with long strides to the bench, desired to beheard While he-made an important de claration. His appearance and manner ienderedany order from the Ma, gistrate for the mostprofound attention totally unnecessary, and the strange visiter, in a foreign accent, declared himself to be the true and rightful King of Great Britain ! The Magistrate (Mr. HALLS) did not seem impressed with any extraordinary degree of awe at the presence of so august a personage, and asked him quite familiarly to favour him with his name. " My name, Sir," thundered out the soi.disant monarch, " is Philip Cromwell." Mr. HALLS.—" Oh ! I suppose, then, you a descendant of Oliver Cromwell ?" Philip.—" Yes, he was my grandfather !" Mr. HALLS.—" And pray where are you now residing ?" Philip.—" At my hotel." Mr. HALLS.—"'Where is that ?" Philip.—" Somerset-house. But I came not here to answer questions : I want to make my declaration in writing." He then looked about for writing materials, but none were given to him. Mr. HALLS asked him if he had any family ? Philip.-Yes. " The Queen and the Princesses are at Xen. sin g ton." Air. HALLS asked him whereabouts at Kensington ? but he did not answer distinctly ; and after a few observations, deli vered incoherently, about the " - steps" he had taken to recover his rights, he turned about and strode out of the office, in spite of the efforts of Mr. Halls to detain him, by asking questions ,with a view to ascertain who he really was. He was a middle aged man. THE NOTORIOUS MRS. WARDLE. The Gloucester Journal has published another account of the proceedings of this infamous woman, which professes to be " minutely accurate." As the lady is likely, from the pub licity given to her various exploits, to appear in a more ele vated character than any which she has yet assumed, we are induced to copy the article from the Gloucester Journal, which contains particulars not included in the former ac count.—A well-dressed female, about forty years of age, late ly applied for and obtained lodgings at a small public-house, kept by an honest and respectable old man and his wife, in a borough town, not a dozen miles from Gloucester. She at first represented herself as a lady's maid in a family then resident at Cheltenham ; she staid only one night, but re turned in a few days, observing that the family were gone to visit a noblernan in the neighbourhood for a week, and that for that period she had been put on board wages.— After staying a few days, she came back, with a similar story of the family being on a visit to a Right Rev. Prelate. She again staid about a week, and then pretended to go to Cheltenham to meet her mistress ; but within a fortnight returned, and said the family were gone to Ireland, where they would probably stay some months. She now became a regu lar inmate in the house, and paid for her board and lodging liberally. She seems early to have studied the characters of her best and hostess sufficiently to find that they might easily be made her dupes; her first act was therefore to adduce fabri cated statements ofthe dishonesty of the servant girl ; and hav ing by this manoeuvre got her discharged, she offered to fulfil the manifold duties of her situation as bar-maid, tapster, cook, &c. until a suitable person could be procured. The landlord's wife very opportunely died at this period, and the whole con cerns of the establishment devolved upon this kind-hearted stranger, in condescending to perform offices which were so much beneath the dignity of a lady's maid ! She frequently re ceived considerable remittances of money in letters and parcels, which she said were sent by her mistress ; and she was thought, by the kitchen customers, to be a person of no small importance, until, in an evil hour, one of them, a female, who was passing through the town, recognized her as an old acquaintance, and immediately gave information to a Magistrate, that she was a notorious utterer of forged notes ; that she had been convicted of the offence at Staf ford, but the gang with whom she was connected had found means to bribe one of the turnkeys to connive at her escape, and for which offence lie was himself transported ; and that 1001. reward was offered for her apprehension. The Magistrate, how ever, unfortunately determined to wait until an answer could be obtained from Stafford, before he granted a warrant ; and the lady, having got intimation of what was going forward, escaped just in time effectually to evade two officers who had been sent from Stafford to secure her, immediately on the place of her retreat having been communicated to them. There is no doubt whatever but that she was provided with a plentiful supply of fictitious notes, if an opportunity had presented itself of putting them in circulation; but she was perhaps prevented from attempting this, by better prospects unexpectedly opening upon her ; for it appears, that, from the moment her hostess died, this artful woman had con templated becoming the Wife of the Landlord, who was possessed of considerable property ; and it is believed that they would have been married in the course of a few weeks.— But the most melancholy part of the detail is, that this worth less adventurer, who has a husband now living, had gained such an ascendancy over the mind of the old and infatuated innkeeper, that, in a moment of temporary frenzy, brought on by a consciousness of the impropriety of his conduct, in harbouring this unknown female in opposition to the re monstrances of his friends, he put a miserable period to his existence within a few days after her flight ! The officers sent to re-convey this extraordinary personage to Stafibrd, repre sented her as a character of the most daring anti dangerous description ; and they came duly prepared to interpose effk tual resistance, should any attempt at rescue have been made on their journey, by those gangs of desperadoes infesting the central districts, to whom she acted as a sort of directress and rallying point,in the prosecution of their marauding pursuits.— ( Staffordshire Advertiser, April 13.) ROBBERY AND MURDER.-011 the night of Wednesday week, the 3d instant, on the road leading from Lightwoods, near the fourth milestone on the Halesowen-road, Shropshire Mr. Samuel Whitehouse was robbed and murdered. It seems that the deceased on that day had been shooting in the Lightwood, in company with his brother-in-law, Mr. Joseph Downing, of Rowley, and after having dined with him at the house of a blacksmith named Fox, in Beech-lanes, they left to gether on horseback about nine o'clock in the evening, and in the space of half an hour, and at the distance of little more than half, a mile from the cottage of Fox, the deceased was found by a lad returning from West Bromwich, lying across the road, quite insensible. On being taken up he was conveyed to the Beech Tree public-house, where he lingered till Friday morn ing, when he died. On examining the body, it was discovered that his death was oreisioned by a dreadful blow on the back of the head from some dreadful weapon, by which his skull was shockingly fractured. It was also ascertained that he had been robbed of several Bank notes, his watch, chain, and seals, and a leather shot pouch. A Jury assembled on the day following his death, under the direction of Mr. Hinchliffe; Coroner for the county, and the investigation was resumed on Wednesday and Saturday last, from which day it was adjourned Saturday next. The depositions of M. Downing, and of 'Fox and his son were taken, but we refrain from entering into particulars. The elder Fox, we since learn; is. detained in custody on sus picion of being implicated in this dreadful act.—( Birmingham Gazette, April 15.) 'OF A WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Au Officer of high rank in the British Navy, then in the service of Russia, advised the Empress CATHERINE 11. to have Crim Tartary and the country of the Nogais Tartary ceded to her'at a peace. He also proposed to her Imperial Ma jesty to form it naval arsenal at Cherson, to build there a certain number of ships of the line and frigates, with a flotilla, to give the Russians the entire command of the Black Sea. This British Officer recommended the immediate formation of a Colony in th.t country, which was to have every encouragement to cultivate the soil. When pro visions were here raised in abundance, should a war break out with the Turks, a Russian army could be supplied from thence, or, if the army proceeded coastways, the Russian squadron with provisions, by means of the flotilla, could supply the army from time to time with every thing re quisite for continuing its march to Constantinople. This advice was strictly followed. It was diffi cult, in the war of 1771, to supply a Russian army with provisions, because General ROMAN ZOW, who then commanded the Russian army against the Turks, subsisted his army at one thousand miles distant from his depitit of provi sions, and was left at one time with only 113,000 infantry, within a few miles of the well fortified Turkish camp, mounted with cannon, and an army of three hundred thousand Turks to de fend it. The rest of the Russian army were bringing up the convoys of provisions. None ar riving, and the provisions of General ROMANZOW being reduced to two days, he advanced to the Turkish camp with 16,000 men in three squares., all the light troops being placed in the waggons in the centre of each square. The Turkish ca valry swore to support the infantry, and the Turkish infantry swore to support the cavalry, and in opposition to the remonstrances of the. French engineers, the Turkish army marched out' of their camp and attacked the Russians. During the battle the third square of Russians marched round., and got into the Turkish camp, then advanced' near the scene of combat, where they threw up an en trenchment, which occupied a space capable of containing the 16,000 Russians. When this work was finished, these Russians fired upon the rear of the Turks, who were unable to break the two squares under General Romanzow, and suf fered a loss of men from the light troops station. ed in the waggons. The Turks fled, and all the Russians entered the part of the camp intrench ed for them, where they remained quiet. The Turks returned to their camp, and began plun dering it. Then the Turkish cavalry accused the infantry of cowardice, and a second battle ensued between these. Then a third battle of individual against individual for the plunder, and when nearly ended, the Russians dashed out and gave a finishing blow to the Turks, who instant ly fled from every part of their camp. General Romanzow told an English General, a volunteer, that the Russians did not kill above '2,000 Turks ; Lut that 35,000 Turks fell by each others' sabres in the camp—the tents of which, with the can non and provisions, became the booty of the Rus sians. When a Turkish army is defeated, every man runs to his own home ; and many months elapse before another army can be, assembled. The English embassy which accompanied the Grand Vizier and his army through Asia Minor to Egypt, mention the danger of the'plague in a Turkish camp. This scourge is the greatest esil the Russian army is exposed to. At this time the Russian armies are not only well-disciplined, but also more numerous than the Turkish armies. Knowledge is progressive every where but in Turkey,—so that the Russian army has attained all the improvements of the most modern art of war, whilst the Turkish army has reaped no be nefit whatsoever from them. If Austria joins Russia, and every delay is avoided, one cam paign will give those powers Constantinople and the rest of Turkey in Europe. Two or three battles will be fought, if a fierce desultory attack, and an immediate flight, can be called one. : — If a Turkish force should take possession of any town, the chances are that the want of provi sions would compel a surrender, by the blockade of a few (lays. Self-defence, and personal secu rity, will afterwards drive the Turks out of Asia Minor. It is probable that, the greater part . of the Turks will turn Christians, as the greater part of the Asiatic And African Greeks did Mahometaus, when conquered by the Arabians and the Turks. The Island of Lemnos is of importance, if pos sessed by a naval power : it has two good har bours for ships of the line.. Five thousand men to garrison the Island, aided by a strong squa dron, will bid defiance to the whole force of Turkey, and 'starve Constantinople at any time into terms.
