" Martha Day, of 94, High Holborn, states thas she is 14 years of age, and has been afflicted with sore eyes from her infancy, occa sioned by the measles ; and for the last three years has been unable to distingui-h objects with one of her eyes, and has suffered much pain. She has been under the care of several occulists, particularly the principal one of the Royal Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital; yet the inflammation increased and extended down the side of the lace, producing a hard swilling or tumour just below the jaw-bone. In this state of disease she was advised to apply Durkee's Green Mountain Vegetable Ointment ; a few days the swelling and in flammation entirely subsided, and she can now see to read ordinary print with that eye, the sight of which was considered past restora tion." The distinguishing Mature of this ointments is its power in reducing inflammation ; it is therefore highly beneficial in gout, rheumatism, erysipelas, bronchitis ringwo, glandular swellings, and all scrofu- Mus a ffections. The , proprietors have consigned the ointment to Messrs. H. Preston and Son, 94, Smithfield-bars, London.

UN7 SEPTEMBER 4, 1847. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The Loan MAYOR said he had just received a letter from his friend Sir Peter Laurie, who was in Scot land, enclosing a communication relative to Mr. Joseph Ady. His LORDSHIP then read a letter signed W. M. Pierce, and dated West Ashby, Horncastle, together with which the writer had transmitted the following letter addressed by Ady to Mrs. Pierce : " August 7, 1847. " Madam,—Your husband has embarked in an un dertaking rendered illegal by various Acts of Parlia ment, subjecting him and yourself and your junior children to serious liabilities and insults. He may be dragged from his home as a felon at any hour of the night or day, confined in a felon's stone cell, without glass window, upon straw and water. The police may intrude themselves into your apartments, possess themselves of your cash and jewels, paraphernalia, and leave you to the tender mercies of the law. On the receipt of twenty shillings I will point out the disease and remedy.—Respectfully, "JOSEPH ADY, Accountant. "5, York-street, Charlotte-street, Whitechapel, London. " One of the bishops was in a similar case. Tie paid my fee, took my advice, and escaped unscathed." The LORD MAYOR said he considered the letter signed "Joseph Ady" constituted an attempt to ex tort money by threats, and if any case resembling that of which notice had been given to him by Sir Peter Laurie were brought before him, and shown to be under his jurisdiction, he should most decidedly act upon that view of it. Innumerable letters had been transmitted by Ady to all parts of the country, and addressed to the wives of persons whom that indivi dual represented as being in great peril, and the utmost alarm had of course been occasioned, particu larly in instances where the heads of families hap pened to be from home.. His Lordship declared that he felt most strongly for the multitudes who had been duped by this indefatigable tormenter, and that if it was not for the indignant exposures made by the press, there would have been much' greater occasion for s ympathy. In conclusion, his Lordship ex pressed an opinion that a great deal might be done towards checking the nuisance by placarding public places in the various towns with bills, cautioning all persons against the imposter. Francis Thomas Griffiths a young man who was in the employment of Mr. *est, jeweller, in Lud gate-street, was charged with having committed a forgery upon the London Joint-stock Bank, to the amount of 1151. 10s. Messrs. Bush and Mullens, the solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection against Forgery and Fraud, attended for the prosecution; Mr. Wont ner appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Kay, a clerk in the London Joint-stock Bank, stated that a cheque purporting to be drawn by Mr. West, who kept an account at that establishment, for 1151. 10s., was presented at the counter and paid on the 16th of August last, with a Bank of England note for 501., No. 38,649, and 651. 10s. in gold. The cheque was drawn in favour of Mr. Wild, or bearer. Mr. Thomas West, jeweller, of Ludgate-street, stated that he knew the prisoner, who had been in his employment about twelve months, and had left him in 1845. The cheque produced was not in wit ness's handwriting, and he had never authorised any one to sign it for him. He was acquainted with the prisoner's handwriting, and the writing in the cheque looked like the prisoner's handwriting. The signa ture was evidently a copy of witness's, but the body was not a copy of his handwriting. He believed the name of Wild in the cheque was in the prisoner's handwriting. On his cross-examination, witness stated that he had expressed the same opinion on that day week in the London Joint-stock Bank, that he knew the prisoner's father, but had had no communication with him upon the subject, and that he knew nothing of the prisoner since 1845. Mr. Archibald Griffith, clerk in the issue depart ment of the Bank of England, stated that the 501. note above described had been brought to him in the name of " Wild" for fifty sovereigns, which he ac cordingly gave for it. Michael Haydon (policeman 274) stated that he took the prisoner into custody in Cavendish•street, Horton, at eight o'clock that morning, and found in his pockets a gold watch, some trinkets, and so.ne silver. The prisoner - waa remanded. CLERKE IV WELL. Mr. Edward Pratt, a furniture broker, of Liver pool-road, Islington, was charged by Mrs. Caroline Passmore, with an assault. The prosecutrix deposed that her husband, prior to the 14th of August, carried on the business of a sad dler and harness maker at No. 12, Compton-street, Brunswick-square. On the afternoon of that day, about half-past five o'clock, she was in the drawing room with her four children, when the defendant, in company with three men, broke open the street-door with a crow-bar; and after entering the house de fendant ordered the men to force her down stairs. She clung to the doors, when they hammered her hands to make her leave go, by which the bone of one of her fingers was broken and dislocated. Her side was injured, and she was confined to her bed for three days, under the care of a surgeon. They subsequently carried her down stairs, and with violence threw her into the street and shut her out. Cross-examined—Her husband was a tenant in the house. A distress had been put in for arrears of rent. there were two quarters' rent due. She ap plied to her landlord for three days, which was re fused, and the whole of her furniture was seized. Mr. Robert Cressy, of No. 13, Compton-street, de posed that he saw the prosecutrix thrown violently from the house on the pavement, and kicked by one of the men accompanying the defendant, who was there and assisted in throwing her out. She was in a fainting state, and he (witness) went to her assis tance. The solicitor for the defence handed in a stamped agreement between Mr. Passmore and the landlord. Mr. TYRWHITT said the case was one which he would not take upon himself to decide, but would leave it for a jury, but bail would be accepted for de fendant's appearance. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday a fashionably-dressed man, named Edward Charles Butler, who described himself as a gentleman, was charged with having obtained, under false pretences, a gold watch and chain, the property of Mr. Robert Last, a silversmith and watchmaker at Yarmouth. The prosecutor stated that on the afternoon of Wednesday last the prisoner entered his shop, accom panied by a gentleman named Stagg, whom he had previously known, and representing himself as " Cap tain Butler, of the army," requested to be shown some gold watches and chains of the best quality, a num ber of which were accordingly exhibited to him ; and he having selected a watch and chain of the value of 241., requested witness to call early the next morning at the York Hotel, where he was staying, for the money. The prisoner then left the shop with the property ; and on calling at the hotel at the time ap pointed, he was informed by the landlord that Cap tain Butler had never lodged there, and was merely a casual visitor but that he would probably hear some thing about about him at an adjoining cottage. He accord ingly proceeded there, and was answered by the land lady, who told him that the captain had left early that morning, and on asking her whether he had removed his luggage, she answered that he had not any, as all his property consisted of two shirts, a collar, and a horse rug, which had been taken away. From some subse quent information he made his way to the telegraph station, where be gave a minute description of the prisoner, with directions for his apprehension, and while there he met a female named Cullingford, who had gone to give similar information respecting a diamond ring which he had obtained from her. He subsequently received an answer by telegraph, re questing his immediate presence in town ; on arriving he found his watch in the possesion of the police, and the prisoner in custody. In answer to the Magistrate, the prosecutor stated that he had been since informed by Mr. Stagg that the prisoner had been introduced to him as a cap tain in the army and member of a lodge of Free• masons, but he had only known him since the pre vious Sunday. Sergeant Price stated that after the arrival of the train, at four o'clock that morn in g , he succeeded in tracing the prisoner to the Guildhall Coffee-house, where he found him in bed, and the watch lying upon the table, which he secured, and took him into cus tody. On searching he found a diamond ring upon his finger, and two dice in one of his pockets ; and the porter at the hotel afterwards handed him several false dice, and other implements of gaming, which were found concealed between the bolster and mat tress of prisoner's bed. On learning the nature of the charge the prisoner told him that he had been unexpectedly compelled to go to London to settle a bet of 501., and that it was his intention to return speedily and arrange the prosecutor's claim. In answer to the charge the prisoner declared that he received the watch upon the distinct understanding that it was not to be paid for until the following Sa turday, and that a proposal was made by Mr. Stagg to allow it to remain in the shop until that day, but the prosecutor pressed it upon him. Mr. ARNOLD considered that a prima, facie case had been established against the prisoner, and said that he felt it his duty to remand him, but had no objection to accept his own recognisances in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each, his !or appearance. LAMB Elll. William Ablett, a costermonger, Sarah, hii wife, and Rebecca, his mother, John Green, Phcebe, his wife, and Maiy Pledge, were placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, for final examination. On Monday morning the parties attended the wedding of the prisoners William and Sarah Ablett, at Newington Church, and after the ceremony they all got into a cart and drove for a ride towards Brix ton, stopping at various public-houses as they went along. They all g ot drunk, and on their return, while going down Brixton-hill, they drove the cart against an omnibus. Sergeant John Hamilton, 18 P, perceiving the danger they had escaped, and Also that neither of the parties were capable of driving, caught the horse by the head and stopped them. The in stant he did so, Green and the other prisoners got out of the vehicle and set upon the sergeant in the most savage manner. They knocked him down several times, kicked him while on the ground in a savage manner, and had it not been for the timely arrival of assistance, they might have killed him on the spot. As it was they broke one of his fingers in two places, and otherwise very seriously injured him. Mr. ELLIOTT remarked, that any punishment he could impose upon the male prisoners would fall far short of that which their outrageous and brutal con duct called for, and he should therefore commit them to the sessions. Rebecca Ablett was to pay a penalty of 405., or in default fourteen days' imprisonment; and the other three, Sarah Ablett (the bride), Phoebe Green, and Mary Pledge, he should commit tb prison for one month each.

Gladstone, treasurer, in the chair. It appeared that since the Ist January there had been upwards ot 100 applications for admission, of which 47 were received, and above 50 necessarily discharged from the want ot funds. Twenty one boys had been received on the recommendation of the Secretary of State from Pat khurst Prison. The balance at the banker's was reported to be under 2001., and it was resolved that greater exertions should be adopted for the purpose of increasing the resources of ' the charity, to enable it to meet more fully the urgent demands on its assistance. It was mentioned that every additional donation of ten r g uineas enabled the ainnsotthitue tion to receive, train, and educate for half a f y i e t a s r charity. r of the destitute boys who are [the o_b e j r e s ct i s n of school of There are now 110 juvenile offend half are friendless reform, of whom more than o othrpehmaneesiingThseapnakrsatheadv.ing been voted ne to the chairman, g.

HE tLTH, SPIRITS, and COMPLEXION RESTORED. The NATURAL REGENERATOR of the DIGESTIVE ORGANS (the Stomach and Intestines), WITHOUT Glysters, Baths, Pills, Purgatives, or Medicines of any kind, BY A SIMPLE, NATURAL, AGREEABLE, AND INFALLIBLE MEANS, called " THE REVALENTA ARABICA" (a nutritive and eminently curative fecula derived from an African plant). The Itevalenta Arabica is not a medicine, but a simple ali mentary substance, agreeable to the palate, more easily digested than any othe food, and, in its immediate effects upon the stomach and intestines, r eminently cu rative and strengthening, radically re • moving and healing even 'the most inveterate affections of these viscera, which it restores to their primitive vigour and activity. By removing all disorders from the stomach and intestines, and enabling these organs to perform their important functions freely, and to supply the system with a healthy chyle, the " Revalenta Arabica" eradicates, in its ulterior effects, all the host of refractory, obstinate, and painful diseases which have their origin or their seat in deranged or weak digestive organs, such as indigestion (dyspepsia), dysenter fet idy , cos tiveness, liver complaint, weak and extingiished appetite, breath, nervous headaches, hemorrhoidal affections, obstructionsess . and irregularities in the menses, leuc o r rhtea (the whites), sleepl ness, nervousness, biliousness. general debility and wasting of the body, languor of body and mind, hypochondria, gout, scrofulous and struntous affections, asthma , dropsy, gravel, &a. • Nice and Paris, at the House du Barry and Co.
