These Pills are a pure extract of camomile flowers, prepared by a peculiar process, by which all the medicinal properties of rather more than one ounce of the flowers are concentrated into four moderate• sized pills, They are mild in operation, and have proved wonder fully successful in removing every sympton of indigestion, sick head ache, loss of appetite, giddiness, heartburn, costiveness, eruptions of the skin, and all complaints arising from a disordered state of the digestive organs ; they require no alteration of diet, and their opera tions will be found so beneficial in giving tone to the stomach, regu lating the bowels, and in promoting a healthy habit, as fully to con vince all who take them of their great utility. Pert ons 'who have suffered from indigestion for several years, have, by their use, in a few weeks perfectly recovered, which is a convincing proof that in the smallest compass is contained the largest quantity of the tonic principle of so peculiar a nature as to pervade the whole system, through which it diffuses health and strength. . Sold in battles at Is. lid., 25.9 d., and its. each, in every town in 1 the kingdom. CAUTION.—Be sure to ask for " Norton's Pills," and be not per. suaded to purchase an imitation.

A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from ilarlestone Market to We) bred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a' fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during whieh period his hair con tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has new to bo..st of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to eurl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; (Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandruff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly. 1 , .* Beware of " spurious compounds" under the title of "MA CASSAR OIL," some under the " implied" sanction of Royalty and he Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception. ROWLAND'S MA.CASS tit OIL is sold by the proprietors, at 20, HATTON-GARDEN LONDON, and all respectable Chemists and rerlumers. DECORATIONS IN WOOD.—The unrivalled perfection at length attained by the patent process of carving enables its proprietors to offer to the public, at an extremely reduced price, every possible variety of carved wood for external and internal enrichment, thus substituting the genuine material for those numer ous imitations which have invariably been found fragile or unsatis factory. Moulding and carvings of all kinds are thus supplied, adapted for church or library fittin4s, altar ch , irs, picture frames, chimney pieces, and every description of Gothic or Elizabethian furniture. Specimens may be seen and drawings obtained at the Patent Wood Carving Offices, 444, West Strand ; or at the Works, Ranelagh-road, Thames-bank. TOTAL LOSS OF 'i HE SIRIUS STEAM-PACKET AND NINETEEN LIVES. The Cork Reporter of Saturday publishes the intelligence of the total wreck of the Sirius, Dublin and Cork steam packet, with a most calamitous loss of life. The following are the principal details of this melancholy occurrence Between three and four o'clock this (Saturday) morning, the vessel having made an excellent passage from Dublin to the offing of Cork harbour, struck, in a dense fog, on a reef of rocks in Ballycotton Bay, and instantly a scene of conster nation not to be described prevailed among the passengers. Captain Moffatt, the commander, then deemed it advisable to back the ship off the reef, and by much exertion, with the engines and otherwise, succeeded in doing so; but they were only a very short time clear of the rocks when it became evident the vessel would not much longer re main afloat, as she was making water fast, and had received serious injuries in her bottom and sides. She was accordingly again turned towards the land, and very soon atter began to strike on a ridge, called Smith's Rocks, about half a mile to the west of Ballycotton, with the certainty of going to pieces in a few hours. The total Was of the vessel being thus inevitable, the attention of all on board was directed to the preservation of the crew and passengers, and amidst the confusion and alarm that prevailed, the lite-boat, which is usually carried over the paddle-box, was attached to the davits and lowered, though unfortunately on the wrong side of the ship. This boat, we understand, was not equal to accommodate more than eight, but immediately she was launched twenty crowded into her, principally deck passengers, and before she was well clear of the steamer, melancholy to relate, she was swamped, and all in her met a watery grave save Capt. A. Cameron, of the Prince river steamer, who was a passenger from Dublin in the vessel. Meanwhile the steamer con tinued to thump heavily on the rocks, while the screams of alarm from the affrighted passengers, and the heavy surf breaking on her sides, and on the deck, rendered the scene one of awful danger and intense anxiety. Soon after the Coast-guard boat from Ballycotton station, under command of Mr. Coghlan, chief officer, came alongside, and the ship's boats having by this time been also launched, the remaining passengers were got into them, and safely landed, though with the loss of every portion of their luggage, &c. The extraordinary exertions of Captain Cameron, of the Prince (who was so providentially saved), in superintending and assisting the landing of the passengers, have been de scribed to us as beyond all praise. Every article that was washed ashore bef ore th e assist ance of military or police arrived was instantly carried off by the people, who continued to assemble in large numbers. A portion of the cabin plate and other portable articles of value were brought on shore in one of the boats, but soon became the booty of the country people, as did also such passengersto thet fast as e tt . shipe the was going to hey pieces,con tpreirtivseopdnttaool savethe luggagel f a r s o t m accounts the belongingw r and probably after anot her tide there will not be a vesti g e of her left. THE SECRET POISONINGS AT CLAVERING.— APPREHENSION AND W EXAMINATION OF MR. T. NEPORT, THE FARMER.—CLAVERING, ESSEX, TuEsDAv.---Yesterday, the Right Hon. Lord Braybrooke, the Rev. Birch W . oolt'e, and other magistrates, met at the ga ol of this town to inves tigate a charge preferred by Mr. Superintendent Clarke, of the Essex constabulary force, against Mr. Thomas Newport, a wealthy farmer, living in the villag e of Claver ing, the scene of the recent murders by poisoning, for inciting Sarah Chesham to administer some deadly drug to an infant, Solo men Taylor (since deceased), with intent to murder it. The prisoner was apprehended on Friday last by Mr. Inspector , tiackell, of th e metr o politan "detective " p o lice force, who was sent do wn a t t h e i n stance of Sir George Grey , t he Secre tary of State. The evidence gone into went chiefly to show that the mother of v Taylor had applied fo r relief to Newport, and that he Lydi a told her the child must be g ot rid of. Re porters were, however, excluded, and the prisoner was re manded. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.

And it was this consideration which induced her MAJESTY to confide these matters to the care of Parliament, "in the full conviction that its discussions would be guided by an impartial spirit." As far as the preliminary night of discussion can be regarded as an augury of the dis position of our legislators, that impartial spirit pro mises to preside over the deliberations of the two Houses. Upon the advisability of an immediate relaxation of the restrictions still imposed upon the importation of provisions, there is little likelihood but that the dissentience of the Protectionists will give way. Expediency, however, peeps out in the very indica tion of their intention to yield. "If we are to allow the introduction of untaxed sugar into the distilleriesk say they, " give our native agriculture compensation by repealing the malt-tax." Sly as ever—these plausi ble gentlemen l What says Lord STANLEY, as the avowed leader of the Protectionists ? Why, he plainly expresses his conviction that " the agriculturists will not oppose the temporary removal of the 4s. duty." Sir R. PEEL is still more explicit in his approbation of the Ministerial proposition for opening the Sports, for suspending the navigation laws, and for introducing molasses and sugar into the proCesses of brewing and distillation. "It is my - intention," he says, "to give my cordial support to these measures." Upon the manner in which the Ministry bad dealt, during the vacation, with the evils arising from the dearth of food in Ire land the Right Hon. Baronet spoke in terms of com mendation. No one could comprehend more entirely the difficulties of legislation in that part of the United Kingdoms; and knowing the magnitude and abundance of those difficulties, he approved of the energetic, though inefficient, labours of the Administration. Even Lord STANLEY, in allud ing to the alterations introduced into the operation of the Public Works Act by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland upon his Excellency's own responsibility, ob served that he was certain that neither in the Lords nor in the Commons would there be any hesitation in giving the Government an act of indemnity for those laudable evasions of the law. We can readily understand that iron-headed obstinacy which prompted the eccentric Member for Limerick to interrupt the amicable proceedings of the debate upon the Royal Speech with an oratorical howl, indicative of the wilfulness and the waywardness of the Young Ire lenders. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN has such an insatiable appetite for notoriety, that the éclat of a " skrimthage " is preferable to the obscurity of a re spectable quiescence. If we may believe WILLIAM CARLETON and the like writers of fiction, the countrymen of Mr. O'BRIEN have a pleasant way of " promoting a disturbance," at Donnybrook and elsewhere, by trailing their coats in the dust, and threatening to crack the skull of whomsoever may presume to tread thereon. The Hon. Member is sadly mistaken in looking upon Parliament as a kind of political Donnybrook. Other • wise the discussions upon the Address to the Soy E• REIGN, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, (moved and seconded in the Upper House by Lords HATRERTON and CAREW, and in the Lower House by Mr. C. HOWARD and Mr. RICARDO) were satis factory from the majority of the sentiments they elicited. By the constitution of this country, the Crown is considered the fountain of honour. This is a wise provision of the State. From time out of mind, in the rudest, no less than in the most civilised nations, wherever the sovereign power has been vested, a spontaneous spring, as it were, has been suffered to flow for refreshening, by means of peculiar dignities and emoluments, the minds of those who have de voted their talents and energies to the welfare of their country. The principle of public acknowledgment, from the highest and most esteemed quarter, of meri torious services, in whatever influential department of the State they may have been rendered, has been found not only to minister to the honourable pride of the individual who has happily distinguished himself, and also to accord with the feelings of grateful re cognition naturally entertained towards him by the community at large, which, in common with the SOVEREIGN, has participated in the benefits at tendant upon the achievement, military, naval, or civil, that has been accomplished; but it is a prin ciple which has had the desired effect of stimulating others to imitate the example that has been set, in order that they might attain to similar honours. This principle has been considered of such import ance, that the people, with mingled feelings of jealousy and gratitude, are not always content to Permit its fruits to rest in, or emanate exclusively from, the Crown. Thus it is that, in addition to what has been conferred at the pleasure of the SOVEREIGN, manifestations of popular approval are being con stantly exhibited in favour, and during the life time, of those who have done well to the State. These laudable testimonials are displayed in different forms, —monuments, subscriptions, public dinners, presents of value to be preserved as heir-looms, &c. But there are instances, where, by the rare union of great talents, high integrity, and noble personal prowess, the prerogatives of the people are ably sustained in opposition to a dangerous infringement of them by the servants of the Crown. In such cases, where a great evil has been averted, or a positive advantage secured, the English aft ever ready, in some signifi cant manner, to evince their gratitude towards the champion of their just rights and privileges. Among these: the impartial administration of justice is held in the highest veneration. This sacred principle was unhappily very recently invaded, not intentionally, but in effect, by one of the highest functionaries of the law—the Lord Chief Baron—in the case of " GOLDICUTT v. BEAGIN." To the energy, talents, and unflinching valour of Mr. CocKuunN, Q.C., are we indebted that the stream of justice has been purified from the temporary taint it had received. Had he taken any other course than that of solemnly pro testing, in open court, against the intemperate lan guage of the Chief Baron, and immediately quitting his Lordship's presence, the ends of justice would have been substantially frustrated ; for had he de fended his client whilst charged with " insanity" by the judge, and the verdict been adverse tohis advocacy, a motion for a new trial would never have been granted. As it is, the Bench has been properly re buked, the honour and independence of the Bar man fully upheld, the rights of solicitors to adopt what legal line of defence they please in conjunction with their counsel fully maintained, and the prerogative of the people to the pure administration of justice firmly established, how grave soever may be the " indiscretion" of one of the principal judges in Westminster Hall. We believe and hope that Mr. COCKBURN'S admirable conduct will be testified to in a way that will cause him to look back with pride for the part he has taken ; and sure we are that he is well entitled to some signal proof of the heartfelt approbation of every lover of justice. Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived. The draft of the Address of the Senate has been agreed to. The Senate in this recommend, much to the annoyance of the Ministry, !an enlargement of the amnesty. It is said that Mori will retire, and be succeeded by the Duke of SOTOMAYOR as Finance Minister.

MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 12.—The Three per Cents. closed on the 11th at 32 ; the Five per Cents. at 20% ; Passives, VA ; Coupons, 183/%• We have have received the Paris papers of Monday. Although these papers still continue to comment on the Spanish marriage question, yet it is evident that, in common with all other questions relating to merely foreign policy, it has lost its interest for the present. Public attention in France is at the present moment solely occupied in considering domestic affairs. With a panic on the Bourse, and food riots (many of which have been attended witk bloodshed and loss of life) raging in twelve departments of the centre, west, and north, the Ministry and the Chambers will scarcely be inclined to waste time in long debates on the foreign policy. Accounts from Algiers to the 10th have been received. The state of affairs in that colony is satisfactory.

COURT OF REVIEW :7 (TiItS DAY.) IN RE RIDGWAY AND CO. This was the petition of a trustee to the bankrupts, praying for an order in reference to certain moneys in his hands. The bankrupts were joined in the firm of Gaskell and Ridgway, who carried on business at Pernambuco, and shortly after the fiat was issued, a meeting of their creditors was held at Manchester, and two trustees were appointed. In the interim, some specie, which had been consigned by the partners at Pernambuco, who were solvent, was seized at Liverpool, but subsequently they paid the amount of the im port duty and sold the goods. Payments were then made to some of the creditors, but a misunderstanding had arisen in reference to this duty which had been paid, the consignors contending that it should be returned to them. His HONOUR said it was difficult to come to a correct judgment on the case without knowing the state of the ac counts between all the parties ; but as they were agreed in desiring him to make an order, he would direct that the money in the hands of the trustee should be paid to the assignees, under the fiat of one of the partners (Johnson) without prejudice to the demand of the deceased. 91% 93% 9 % 9% 8p 101% 91% COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAN.)

The defendant lives in Canal-place, Camberwell, and held the house under an apeement, and pleaded that he was not indebted. The agreement was proved, and when Mr. Thomas, who appeared as counsel for the defendant, examined it, he said he could not sustain the defence. The agreement was not stamped, and it appeared that the defendant relied on the terms as requiring no stamp. RUSSELL AND WRIGHT V. MOODY. The plaintiffs in this action are the successors to the well known Mr. Warren, the blacking merchant, in the Strand; the defendant is a grocer at Castle Carey, Somersetshire. The action was brought to recover the value of twenty half-boxes of blacking, alleged to have been supplied by the defendant's order. Mr. l'itomas called the plaintiff's traveller, who spoke to obtaining the order in the usual course, and the transmission of the goods per order. Mr. PARRY appeared for the defendant, and cross-examined the witness, with an endeavour to .how that only six boxes had been ordered, and that the goods had been returned, but he did not elicit any answers to bear out the defence, and submitted to a verdict. WEST V. KEASLEY. This was an action to recover the value of coals supplied to defendant, who pleaded in abatement that he was not solely liable, but that at the time of the goods being deli vered other persons were in partnership with him.

THE: FLORES EXPEDITION.—IN RE WILCOX SLEIGH. This insolvent, who described himself as of Somerset-street, Portman-square, a Captain in the naval service of Spain, came up this day for his interim order. The insolvent's name has lately been prominently brought bofore the public in connexion with the Flores expedition." His debts amounted to 370/. ; property "nothing." He was supported by Mr. Buchanan, solicitor, of Basing hall-street, and opposed on behalf of Mrs. Cumberland, the landlady of a furnished house occupied by him in Brompton. row, Brompton, for which he paid a rent of 1201. a year. He underwent a strict examination as to his means of payment at the time he took the house. He said he had saved money from his services in Spain and Portugal, and also as Assistant- Commissioner of Police at Manchester, and expected a re appointment from the Home-office. The COMMISSIONER—How came you to give up the ap pointment? Captain Sleigh—l did not resign; the appoint ment depended on an Act of Parliament which existed only for three years, being passed for the suppression of the dis turbances in the north. He had also received 1001. from Sir J. Kirkland, an advance on his patent for a sea barrier and breakwater. He had made a proposition to his creditors to avoid these proceedings. The COMMISSIONER—What proposition can you make now ? —I cannot make any at present, persecution has pre vented me. The insolvent admitted that "hope" was on the " Home office," an " appointment" under the British Government, and his expectation under the " Flores Expedition"; and His HONOUR did not consider there had been any miscon duct on the part of the insolvent to prevent a day for the final order, the appointment of assignee being adjourned, the opposing creditor might have in the interim the opportunity of obtaining full information. Interim order granted. TEMPLEMORE AND NENAGH RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) The first general meeting of this company was held at their office, Gresham Rooms, Gresham-street. W. R. Cot.errr, Esq., M.P., took the chair shortly after one o'clock, and after the advertisement had been read, said the circumstances under which this meeting had been called were not at all of a gratifying description ; but when he stated what had taken place since they had obtained their Act of Parliament, he had no doubt that they would feel satisfied that the directors had done their duty. The report which would be read to them explained the particular reasons why the directors had refrained from prosecuting the line. The principal reason was, that the Great Southern and Western Railway, of which he was a director, had hesitated to com plete the arrangement, and the promise which they had for merly made,namely, that they would render this company their assistance either by the advance of money or by leasing the line. That company found, however, that they had now so much to do, amid the distressing circumstances of the country, to open their own line to Cork, and the leading gentry of Tipperary had felt themselves compelled to wila: hold the advancement of money for the same reaset od ul: directors, therefore, in these circumstance:, _ref proceed: further, and determined to liquidate itzthetoliathbie lities of the company, and to pay back the d that this was the p b e e ns en es, o n bt o ain twi e t d h l shareholders. He thought, t,h cheapest Act of Parl the engineering h e was proud of it, just that standing that they had w a double contest to fight in the Committee, and was low, as wer i e c t he ho wever,l law dy e e x t might show how unnecessary heavy expenses iwtere.ffe said the line, of twenty-seven miles in length, had been surveyed, and cost, together with law expenses, ad vertising, kc., 6,1161.95. 7d., which included all the liabi lities of the company. This having been paid off left them with a balance in hand of 6,0871. 2s. 6d., or 15s. 9d. a share, which had been returned to the shareholders. The Hon. Gentleman then enlarged on the superior prospects of the company, whose line would be greatly enhanced in value by the opening of the line from Dublin to Templemore, passing, as it did, through a rich agricultural and mineral district. He said the directors hoped to be con tinued in office still further, with the command of 3001. per annum, in order that they might continue the negotiations of Government. As to the intentions of Government, he would not, and indeed could not, speak with confidence, but it had been stated last night in the House that they would lay out money only on reproductive works, and he hoped therefrom that Goi ernment might be induced to advance one-halt the capital, and then, no doubt, the shareholders would advance the other. The report was then read and adopted. The directors, auditors, and secretary were re-appointed, and, after thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up.
