They greatly influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty and in the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs, without occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a most excellent family aperient medicine, and may be taken at all times with perfect safety. They are prepared by Mr.JAMES Comma, Surgeon Extra ordinary to Her Serene Highness the late LANDGRAVINt of HESSE HOMBURG, and may be had of all respectable Medi cine Venders, in boxes, at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. NOTICE. Let it be especially observed, that those Pills only are genuine which have the name " JAMES COCKLE, APOTIIE CA Rl'," in white letters, engraved on the Government Stamp.

A RTISTS, PICTURE DEALERS, and others, are in /I- formed that a New and Miniature Work is now pub lishing, containing Drawings of Fifty Picture Frames, ma nufactured in BIELEFELD'S PAPIER 3dACHE, from some of the finest Carvings of the sevexteenth century. They are clearly drawn, on a very s I scale, upon thin tinted paper, and c an b e f orwar d e d by st, upon the receipt of six Postoffice Stamps ; the price nd dimensions ar e g l attached, and the Frames can be had either in plain Oak and Gold, or Gilt. There is a number to each, by which an order may be sent from any part of the country. " The Frames of Mr. Bielefeld present the best charac teristics of fine carving; the course of the chisel, though subdued, is everywhere apparent, and the liberal resort to undercutting, and occasional nearly alto-relief, realize the peculiar finesse and spirit of the best manipulists among the old carvers in wood, substituting for the dull, prim, and me chanical mediocrity of works in putty composition, an easy, liberal, and artistic dexterity in the execution, which must be appreciated by every lover of the excellent. They may be recommended also on other grounds ; when conveyed from place to place, (to provincial exhibitions, for example,) they are liable to no injury from chipping, as the common Frames are. An essential advantage also is, that these Frames weigh no more than half the weight of the usual Frames o_f o t t l a if same size. We strongly u rge u p on A r tists to visit this .I!; blishment, and examine for themselves. —Art Unian.

LAB' INTF T.LIGENCE VICE-CHANCELLOR'S CO u}11)A1 ---.• (Before Sir J. Wigram.) SUISSE r. LORD . His Honour delivered judgm ent in this case. quis of Hertford had made 19 codicils to his will, which the plaintiff claimed legacies ; in six of whi,._ specially named; in the other codicils he was classes • the other servants of the Marquis. The only questio, which bad been argued before the court was, whether thc legacy of half of the sum of £16,000, given by the last codicil as a provision for the servant s , dition to the former bequests to the p: was in substitute of such preceding l egac i es • The late M L intiff, or The firs:, co_ dicil under which the plaintiff clai servants generally of two years' wages, and.to thos g e i who the had lived with the testator while he wag Lord Yarmouth three years' wages. The next of the codicils in question gave th e servants who bad lived with the testator three years three years' wages and board wages, and one year's wages to those who had lived with him one year. The presumption would he that this legacy was additional; but the court was not left to presumption, for the testator had expressly said that all the bequests by this codicill were to be in addition to what had been previously given. The third codibil gdve to Nicho las Suisse, the plaintiff, if he was living with the testator at the time of his death, £l,OOO over and above any ( quests. On this, therefore, there was no ques r be !. in the fourth codicil, £2,000 is bequeathed to the laititif again is expressly stated to be over and above the ceding legacies. The next codicil had been a subject of argument, the sum which it purported to bequeath being the same as the amount of the two legacies which had gone before—namely, £3,000. It was said that this must be taken as a mere substitution for them; but this codicil also con tained this expression, " I give these legacies in addition to what. I have in most instances given to the same persons by other codicils." These words applied as well to the legacy to Suisse as to those given to other persons by the same instrument, and the Court must hold the legacy in question to be cumulative. The sixth codicil under which the plaintiff claimed gave him a legacy of £2,600, which also was distinctly stated to be above all other bequests. The seventh codicil again contained the words " independent of, and in additic to, all other legacies ,to Suisse, £2,000, fpr continue I good serv ices." There was no question that the £2,000 given by that codicil was cumulative. The whole of the sums given by these codicils amounted to about £10,600; and the entire question then was, whether the £BOOO bequearhed to Suisse by the last codicil was intended as a substitution for the £10,600 previously given. It was less beneficial to the lega tee than the gifts in the preceding instruments ; the presump tion, therefore, would be in favour of the legatee, and against the construction which would hold the legacy to be substitu tional. The ezwasedintention to provide for the servants appeariagin the last codicil had been !hitclt . upoirwith refer lres o ble a kilhiwiamP ir a m td " oet i lt,lft t rl e ., u did not apply in the case of strangers ; it wds applicable only to bequests to persons as to whom a testator stood in loco pa rentis. With regard to strangers, as there was no reason, in a legal point of view, why the testator should give them anything by his will, so there was no reason why the court should raise any presumption to limit the amount of his bounty. Throughout the whole of the codicils, the testator had gone on diminishing the amount of the benefit given to those who had natural claims upon him by increasing the amount of his gifts to other persons, and there was no prin ciple on which the court could bold that these legacies to the plaintiff were not cumulative. The executors having admit ted assets, the decree must be made for payment. -----•►~ COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-SATURDAY (London Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and Special Juries.)

They were as follows: The plaintiff is the Rev. William Carter Moore. B.A , the curate of St. Peter's and St. Mary' . Marys, at Boston, in Lincoln shire; and the defendant is also a cler gy man, an d the in cumbent of the Chapel Royal , Pri nce's- p lace. Bri g hto n. On Saturday, July 30, in last year , the p laintiff, accom p an ied by his son, a member of St. John's , Col le g e, Cambridge, went to Brighton for the recovery of his health ; and on Sunday morning, the 31st, the plaintiff and his son, being then en tire strangers to the defendant, entered the Chapel Royal, i n Prince's-place, just as the Litany was concluded, they having been detained until that time at the baths. At the close of the sermon the defendant said—" My dear friends, I know it is not usual to address you after the sermon, but I beg to inform you that there are two no torious pickpockets in the congregation, and therefore be careful. That announce ment turned the eyes of the congregation to the strangers, who had before attracted some attention by coming late into church ; considerable confusion ensued, and the plaintiff and his son were followed from the chapel by a crowd of persons. Upon inquiring the cause of the assemblage, they were in formed that they were the persons against whom the defend ant had cautioned his congregation. Sir Thomas Wilde addressed the jury for the defendant, and contended that this action ought not to have been brought—inasmuch as the defendant, as soon as he disco vered he had made a mistake in respect of the persons whom he considered the plaintiff and his son to be, wrote a letter to the plaintiff, expressing in the strongest terms his regret that the circumstance had occurred, and stating the manner in which it had happened—viz., that shortly before the plaintiff and his son entered the church, information had been received by the defendant that two notorious pickpockets had been driven from Christ Church, they having come there in a fly, and that they had afterwards gone to several other chapels in Brighton. That the close arrival of the plaintiff and his son led him to b e li eve they were the parties, and to make the address to his audience, which bad given rise to these p ceedings. The Lord Chief Justice having summed up, the jury re tired, and, after having been absent for some time, found a verdict for the plaintiff--damages, 40s. REFUSAL OF PROTECTION TO AN INSOLYENT.—On Thurs day last, Joseph Schofield Shaw, formerly. a grocer, druggist, and porter dealer, at Ashton , but n ow living .t Oldham, ap plied for protection under the new insolvent debtors' act. it appeared that he had taken the benefit of the insolvent act in July, 1842, when his debts amounted to £5,000 and upwards; having previously compoundedesent with his crediamoun tors, when he owed about £1,200; and his pr debts ted to £267. It was also discovered that he had secreted some property, and his schedule was very artfully drawn up, with the view of concealing the real state man of his Pffair e s.— Mr. Commissioner Jemmett severely reprimanded th in solvent, declared him not to be entitled to the benefit of the act, and refused to grant the final order for protection.—We understand that this is the first case at t his c uarourt, where the final order has been refused.—ManaesGdian.
