CAPTA IN PIDDING'S TEAS consist of one kind only Cof Black and one of Green. The Black is a mixture of Forty different kinds of rare Black Teas, remarkable for their great strength, delicious flavour, and natural aroma. This natural aroma of the Tea being completely preserved in the Packages in which it is imported. The Green is Small Leaf Gunpowder Tea of the finest kind, and is grown only on one Estate. • Captain PIDDING, who has made eight voyages to China, completed arrangements when last at Canton, securing to himself the exclusive importation of these particular Teas. Extract from Dr. Sigmond's Lecture on Captain Pidding's Tea before the Med. Bot. Society. " This particular Tea has been very much and very de servedly prised, and has now become a Standard Tea in this Country.' (Prom Dr. James Johnson, M.D., Physician to his late Majesty, &c.) " Suffolk-place, Pall Mall, London. " Sir,—Ever since your Tea was first introduced, myself and family have used it ; indeed, only it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to all others. "Yours, &c., "JAMES JOHNSON, M.D. " To Captain Pidding." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he alone imports, have given the same title to rubbish of their own, so that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's," " Mowqua's," " Saoqua's." or some other spurious mixture. Against such imposition, the only security is " CA' PIDDING'S NAME." This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every really genuine package. one-third, in Chinese Catty packages, containing one pound and Black, nett of Tea, exclusive of lead and paper,—the of j tl . le n ucK, at the rate of 6s. 4d. per lb. ; the Gunpowder at 91. per lb. • directions given Half and Quarter Catties in proportion. A Quarter Catty 't 0 Black, charged 2s. 2d., will go as far as half a pound commonest Tea, if made according on each package. yyntEfiotr, Leiverpool. to Capt. Pidding's GEOR EvGerEtonC a A v ß ric.

THE Institution for the Cure of Diseases so general and important as those of the HEAD, CHEST, STOMACH, and BOWELS, will be found, among other advantages, to comprise the following recommendations to extensive notice and support. Ist.—lt is open every day—and for gratuitous advice to the Poor, no matter from what Country, Parish, or Religious denomination they may come ; their claims to attention being constituted simply and at once by the fact that they are labouring under ailments for the cure of which they seek advice. 2nd,—lt is available to the wishes, and will be found to meet the wants and convenience of respectable Individuals and Families of the UPPER and MIDDLE CLASSES of the Commercial and Trading population of Liverpool and its neighbourhood, when they require the services of a regularly educated and authorised Physician. Accordingly, to all such persons, Advice and Attendance may be had on this reasonable consideration, namely, that the professional remu neration or charge will be on a scale suitable to the circum stances or rank of the patient. This arrangement will meet the case of those who cannot afford to give the large fees usually expected to be paid to a Physician, and will also suit the condition of others in humbler circumstances whose feel ings deter them from seeking the patronage or permission of Subscribers and others, and then, in addition to loss of time, applying " as paupers" at the large Hospitals and Dispensa ries for Advice artd Medicine for nothing.

FAMILY ATTENDANCE, AND PATIENTS VISITED AT THEIR OWN RESIDENCE, AS USUAL. J. S. THORBURNE, M.D., Liverpool. 51, Islington, July, 1842. MILNER'S SAFETY BOXES. RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of the momentous importance of securing protection from fire to Deeds, Records, M.SS., Books and Papers of Ac com Gunpowder, pt, Cash, and all combustible materials, that THOS. MILNER and SON feel excused in again in viting public notice to their Patent Fire-resisting Deposito ries. Having submitted their one-chambered Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the principal towns, they have received from the authorities of each the most satisfac tory certificates of their efficiency for ordinary casualties ; and being confirmed in opinion by a long course of experi ment, that, under suitable modification of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle of their Patent is capable of affording security under the severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they respectfully solicit the consideration of Gentlemen interested in mechanical science to the subject generally, and investigation into the pretensions of the various means of security in use, their own amongst the rest. M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail able. The certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in Liverpool bears the signatures of the following Gentlemen, to whom permission of reference is kindly given , THOMAS BOLTON. Esq., (ex-Mayor,) JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq., (the Mayor,) Sir THOM AS BRANCKER, BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq., L. GRAHAM, Esq., R. FRODSHAM, Esq., WM. STOCK, Esq•. S. WOODS, jun., Esq. The more recent one below will be interesting to Ship_ owners and Builders, Gunpowder-dealers, &c., and is further confirmatory of the capabilities of the principle:— Trial of Milner's Patent Fire -Resisting Principle, as a Protection of Gunpowder from Fire. Liverpool, June 20th, 1842. We have this day witnessed the trial of one of Mil ner ', Patent Fire-proof Double-celled Gunpowder Magazines, of twelve inches external, and six inches Internal diameter and height, filled with highly combustible materials, papers, and a packet of Gunpowder. The same was placed in the centre of a fire consisting of five to six cwt. of coal and a quantity of wood, and remained therein upwards of three hours, during two-thirds of which time the magazine was surrounded by a complete furnace of intense heat. Neither the inner magazine nor its contents were at all injured by the fire, nor did they evince any signs of the se vere ordeal to which they had been exposed, beyond being pervaded to the very centre with steam from the alkaline solution, contained in tubes embedded in the nonconductor occupying the chamber of each cell. In proof of the intense heat of the fire, the wood was wholly consumed, the entire quantity of coal converted into coke, and the bricks upon which the fire was made were taken out red hot.

President—The Right Honourable Lord CLIFFORD. FIRE INSURANCES continue to be grant e d on the plan of admitting the Insured into a participation of the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the Public have already derived considerable returns. LIFE INSURANCES.—Bonuses have been declared on Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future Annual Premiums, at the option of the Insured. This ad vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In sured. This Company's business is still increasing, and the esti mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred , from the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Sixth in the Kingdom ; and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is not inferior to-that of the first-rate Companies.

BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT - - TO HER MAJESTY AND THE ROYAL FAMILY. CHWEPPE'S SODA and POTASS WATERS, and lERATED LEMONADE. The continued preference of the Public for the above preparations, celtbrated for their superior quality throughout the last half century, calls for the respectful acknowledgments of the Manufacturers, who beg leave particularly to CAUTION their F r i en d s an d Cus tomers in general against an imposition continually practised by unprincipled persons filling ScruiyEppE's bottles with a spurious composition, and passing it off as ScHWEPPE'S manufacture.

A new church is now in course of erection at Goode, the foundation stone of which was recently laid by J. T.

Temperance makes the faculties clear, and exercise makes them vigorous. It is temperance" and exercise united that can ensure the fittest state for mental or bodily exertion. In reading a work force yourself to reflect on what you read pa. ragragph by paragraph, and in a short time you will derive plea sure—an ample portion of it at least—from the activity of your own mind. All else is picture sunshine. FortnivENnss.—Among the ancients, forgetfulness of injuries as considered a virtue; the heathen philosopher even said, that to forgive one's enemies was to be equal to the gods. Cato, whom all the world admired, said that he forgave every body but himself, A sample of new wheat was brought into Bristol market ,On Thursday week, by Mr. Henry Cooke, of Clevedon. It was a re markably fine specimen. A learned and " enlightened" radical, of Dartmouth, who was descanting a short time since on the " five points" of the Charter, declared himself in favour of " universal sovereigns," " vote by ballast," and " triangular parliaments." CLERICAL MUNIFICENCE.—The Rev. J. J. Scott has offered £1,500 towards the endowment, and .C5OO towards the fabric of a new church at Barnstable, provided that £2,000 be raised to meet his donation before next Michaelmas. IPswicit ELECTION.—It was confidently stated at the clubs on Saturday, that Viscount Villiers and Captain Gladstone would come forward on the conservative interest for Ipswich immediately the writ was issued. From inquiries we have no doubt but that the rumour is well found,' Viscount Villiers arrived in town on Saturday, from Upton Hail, near Banbury. • Mehemet Ali, it is said, has determileci on realising the dream of his .life.—the junction of the Red Sea nod the Mediterranean by means of the canal to be cut through the isthinns of Suez. For this purpose the Pasha had written to Mr. Brunel, the engineer, who has executed the Thames Tunnel, proposing to him to:under take the work., Smrocsimo.—Mr. Jones, the tide-surveyor at Holyhead, has seized two smacks, the Elizabeth and Emerald, having on board 123 bales (1740 lbs) of tobacco concealed under the ballast. Oue man was secured, but the principal and three others escaped. The tobacco is lodged in the Custom-house. MAILYPORT.—The trustees of Maryport harbour have in con templation to erect a new breakwater at the south entrance,of the harbour, the sand-bank on that side having latterly been accumu lating so rapidly as to become a serious impedinient to vessels en tering the port. Normir AAI PARK.— His Grace the Archbishop of York has given instructions for the gardens and park of his princely family seat, .near Abingdon, to be thrown open for the recreation of all classes three days a week—Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.—Doncaster Gazette. On Monday evening last. his Grace the Duke of Devonshire arrived at the station-house, Chesterfield, from London, and pro ceeded immediately to Chatsworth, where, it is supposed, his grace intends staying the shooting season. The duke was warmly greeted by the populace on his arrival, and appeared in excellent health and spirits. LACZ TRADE IN FRANCE.—SUCiI is the brisk demand for a cer tain description of lace made on the rotary principle, at Calaii, that bands are working night and day to meet the wants of cus tomers ror it. Our informant, who left Calais a day or two ago. states, that he saw several workmen from Leicester and Notting ham paid 100 francs (X 4 in English money) each for 48 hours' labour.—Leicester Chronicle. As far as the accounts can at present be made up, it appears that the cost of building and outfit for the Niger expedition is £40,331 14s 4d; stores and materials, including provisions, medicines, &c.. £23,570 4s jd ; salaries, wages, &c., £18,102 4s 7(1, making a total of *82,054 3s 6d. it is estimated that the balance in hand of .e 19,182 16s 6d will be amply sufficient for the payment of all ex penses accruing to the present time. WORKING OF TUN VOLUNTARY PILINCIFLE.—On Sunday last two collections were made in Rye Church to remunerate the or ganist for his services during the past year, which were as follows : playing the organ at morning and afternoon service (and at any other time when required), instructing the children of the Sunday School to sing two hours every week, tuning the organ and keeping' it in repair. And for these services, efficiently performed, what do ypu suppose, gentle reader, was the remuneration ?—Four pour,iN and ninepenee I—Brighton Gazette. COUNTY COURTS BII.L.—A clause having been introduced into this bill on the third leading, in the House of Lord, to exclude the county of Lancashire from its provisions, a meeting of influential tradesmen was held at the White Swan, Rochdale, on Thursday, on the subject, when petitions to both Houses of Parliament were agreed•to in favour of the bill and its extension to Lancashire.-- [Lancashire has been excluded, we believe, on account of the present machinery being considered sufficient for carrying out the objects of the bill.] VENOMOUS NATURE OR A COMMON TOAD.—A rather striking instance of the venomous nature of the common toad, occurred the other day in this neighbourhood. A house-cat, either in sport or malice, attacked one of this unfortunate species, whose back she 'proceeded rather unceremoniously to lacerate with her teeth, when to I she suddenly fell sick, tumbled over, and foamed at the mouth. The " untoward event " having been observed by a gentleman present at the time, he instanter procured a quantity of sweet milk in which he immersed the head of the poor baudrous, which 'happily had the effect of restoring her to tier previous con dition.—Perth Advertiser. DiIEADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last, Dr. Bramley and hi lady were returning home to Halifax, in a pony phaeton, when, on turning to s;escend a hill near Hipperhohne, the pony misplaced its foot upon a glassy stone; the result was, the animal was brought down with great-violence—one of its knees was broken, and the other severely fractured. Mrs. Bramley, with the violence of the shock, was precipitated from the phaeton ; her face and temples being frightfully bruised and fractured, and Mr. Bramley did not escape without his arm being broken.—Leeds Conservative Journal. Tito Ls UER . —The speeches were principally filled with com plaints against the " cheapening" process, to. which mills, ma chinery, and manufactured goods have of late been subjected. To the uninitiated, it appears very strange, that "cheapness" should offend those whose catechism is, " Buy at the cheapest market." The " lecturers" of these smugglers' associates are everlastingly prating about the benefits to be derived from " cheapness" in laud, labour, cattle, corn, &c. ; why, then, should they set up an universal yell against " cheapness'' in their own commodities—mills, ma chinery, &c.? Without impeaching their honesty, I cannot dis cover a solution of this enigma. I must, therefore, leave others to explain the reason why " cheap" mills, machinery, &c., arc offensive to the Anti-Corn-Law -Leaguers. It surely cannot be, that persons who profess to be, par excellence, the philanthropists of the age, shauld wish to rob their neighbours by " cheapening." their pro perty in land and labour, for the purpose of enabling manufacturers to " sell dear," and thus " accumulate wealth" at the expense of others ? This is a knotty question—l must .rave it.—R. Oastler's Fleet Papers. EXECUTION.—TuLLAmooRE. Friday Evening.—Walter Wheel shun was on Saturday executed in the front of Dublin gaol for the murder of his wife on Tuesday, the 31st of May last. A short time previous to his execution he requested that an acknowledgment of his guilt might be taken down in writing, and that he would sign it; which was in substance as follow,;—" They were about nine months married. During that period something unaccountable had caused him to take a dislike to her, and they consequently led a very unhappy life.' Two months before he committed the deed he determined on her murder. On Monday. the 30th, he dug ground in order to loosen it, and he killed her on Tuesday night, but not having time to bury her, he removed the body to the barn, where he covered it with straw, and on Wednesday night he carried it to the grave, and ran a few scrapes of a plough over it to disguise it, as he intended immediately to sow down the land. There were at the time in his house, his father, aged 94. two servants, a boy and a girl, and a child about 11 years of age, all of whom he declares, had no knowledge of, nor did they take a part in, the murder. He stated that he told his neice, who lived occasionally with him, his intention, but acquits her in like manner, she having advised him against it." He never spoke after leaving his cell but in prayer, and ascended the gallows with as much firmness and fortitude as if nothing was to happen. , DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION.—TILE HAGUE, JULY 31.—0 n the 26th the town of Leenwar den was exposed to a catastrophe similar to that of Haniburgh. The preceding day was the last of the an nual fair, and on the 27th, at four in the morning, a fire broke out in one of the handsomest booths hi the market-place. The flames spread with such rapidity that in half an hour. the market-place was like a sea of fire, and thirty-four of the booths were consumed ; others were pulled down to prevent the further progress of the flames. All this happened in the short time that passed before the lire-engines could be brought up ; but, indeed, if they had arrived sooner they could not have checked the devouring flames. They, however. arrived just as the dames threatened the adjoining houses Of the finest part of the town. Though live or six houses were con siderably damaged, the progress of the conflagration was stopped, and the town itself saved. The grateful feelings of the inhabitants for their providential deliverance has tended to increase their pity for the unfortunate owners of the booths, who were unable to save any of their property, for whom a subscription was immediately commenced. which, in a couple of hours, produced 4,500 florins, but the total loss was estimated at 100,000 florins, and the local au thorities have therefore appealed to the public beneficence. ACCIDENT AT A CENTRIFUGAL RAILWAY.—On Saturday last a rather serious. accident happened to a woman, named Colley, who had ventured to have a ride on the Centrifugal Railway now exhi bititing in Boar-lane. The carriage on this railway is carried at the rate of 129 miles an hour round a circular railway placed verti cally, so that when the carriage is at the upper part of the circle the persons within it, who are not fastened in any way, have their heads downwards, and are kept in by the principle of centrifugal force, in the same way as water is kept in a bucket whirled rapidly round in a vertical direction. On Saturday the woman, in com pany with a man, placed herself in the carriage, which being set at liberty sped its way down the first inclined plane, from which it re ceives its great velocity, round the circular part of the railway, and up the second inclined plane, at the top of which a man is placed, whose duty it is to seize the carriage, in order to prevent it from running back again. On this occasion, however, the carriage, ow ing to its being loaded with the unusual weight of two persons, did not reach the ordinary height up the second inclined plane, and the man at the top being unable to seize it 'it ran down again, and up the vertiele circle, and threw the man and woman out with consi derable violence. The woman had her forehead, nose, and other parts of her face, dreadfully cut, anil was conveyed to the infirmary. Her wounds, though not. we believe, dangerous, were of a serious character, and their effects will most probably disfigure her during her life. The man who was her companion in the carriage felkupon her, and escaped uninjured. It is to be hoped that this accident will induce the conductors of the exhibition to use greater caution in future.—Leeds Times. FUNERAL OF SIR T. HESKETR.—On Wednesday last, this gen tleman's interment took place in Ruftord Church. The distance from Rufford.hall to the place of sepulture is very little less than a mile, and as it was determined upon that his honored remains should be borne to their last resting place, by individuals to whom his excellent example had endeared him to their hearts, by the warmest tics of obedient respect and sincere esteem, it was arranged that the space should be divided into ten equal portions, at each of which a fresh relay of six supporters should enter upon their allotted duty of beat ing their revered burden to the next relief point on the road. The persons selected were thirty of the de ceased baronet's Rufford tenantry. The distance marked out for the labour of each relay of bearers was about one hundred and sixty yards. The orderof procession, from the hall to church, was as follows :—The Rev. Mr. M'Grath, incumbent of Rufford, took the lead, and was followed by Dr. Robinson, M.D., Mr. Dandy, surgeon, and W. Rawstorne, Esq. Next came the body, borne in the manner we have already described; then succeeded, as chief mourners, Mr. Hesketh, (son of the present baronet) and Mr. W. Hesketh, (son of the deceased ;) the Rev..l. T. Horton, vicar of Ormskirk, the Rev. Mr. Hodgson, Captain Greville. Mr. Hinds, and some other personal friends, with a number of the tenantry and the domestics of the household, composed the other portion of the procession. On the arrival at the church (which, with the family pew, had been put into handsome mourning) the solemn service for the dead was very impressively read by the rev. incum. bent, during which the remains of the deceased were placed in the family vault, " in the sure and certain hope of a resurrection to eternal life ;" and all the last sad duties having been performed, the mourning attendants returned to the hall, or their respective homes. The pres en t b a ronet was detained from the ceremony b y severe illness. RAlLWAYS.—Notwithstanding the great depreciation in the value and profits of rail w ay shares, we are surprised to s ee t h at the di rectors of railway companies appear indifferent t o the immediate adoption of every means, as they are from time to time invented or devised by scientific men, of effecting economy, or obtaining other advantages. Wc are led to make this rem ar k from the fact having come to our knowledge, that a means has been devised of obtaining that important desideratum, the use of coal without smoke, in lieu of coke, in the working of locomotive engines. This invention was put into most satisf actory operation, and its advantages w ere fully ascertained, a year and a h a l f ago ; and yet, strange to say, it is only adopted.at the present moment (arid that to a limited extent) by some three or four railway companies. we have been informed, that the working of the locomotive engines on the Midland Counties Line, with coke, cost upwards of 17,1 per cent. more than with coal; and no doubt a similar reduction of expense would be effected in all other railways. The w olf loco motive engine, with Mr. Samuel Hall's patent apparatus. was.%Le believe, got into work in May last ; and we are informed. tha t _ .1 . running a distance of 1,310 miles, the average consumption of coke was 651 b. loz. per mile, and the average consum p ti on in running 1,024 miles, was 561 b. 10oz. per mile; If this be being 7s. I Id. per ton., and that of coke 20g. Per th r e chaime „ an d the.eta of coal the case, we would ask, what are the motivesi of , directors of railways for neglecting to,,acva ul recommend all pro prietors im portant a saving of expense ; and we . ' dithemselves of so of railway shares to make inquiry on the subject. Nothing but the most rigid economy, and the liea i means for the reduction of expendituraeP , Ption of every possible can realize any thing like a fair interest for the immense capital investe d v this description of property.— Times. Mr. Mack' anon has obtained leave to bnipg in a bill to prevent the interment of the dead in large towns. Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Guillamore has been chosen Aide-de- Camp to the Queen, in the room of Colonel Dennie, killed at Affghanistan. Nearly 200 shipwrights employed in the ship building yards on the Tyne left their work last week, in consequence of an attempt made to:educe their wages. A verdict of wilful murder has been returned against Henry Parsons, a lodging -house keeper at Bath, for the murder of his wife. STRIKE OP THE GLASGOW COLLIERS.—No accommodation be tween the men and their employers has been yet brought about. The potatoe fields are suffering, and the district remains in a very uneasy state. A Staffordshire nailer, at the present rate of work, is obliged to make a thousand nails, two inches long, for one shilling and six pence; and a thousand is accounted a good day's work for the generality of workmen. The Belfast election is not expected to take place till Monday, the 15th. Mr. Emerson Tennent and Lord Hamilton Chichester have issued their addresses on the conservative side. On the literal side, Mr. Ross, of Rosstrevor. has addressed the electors, and it is said that Mr. Shatto Adair will also come forward. Powsa or STEAM.—It is on the rivers, and the boatman may re pm on his oars ; it is on the highways, and exerts itself along the courses of land conveyance ; it is at the bottom of mines, a thou sand feet below the earth's surface ; it is in the mill and the work shops of the traders. It rows, it pumps, it excavates, it carries, it craws, it lifts, it hammers, it pins, it weaves, it prints.— Webster's Lectures. It is stated, that the force of this country, which ere now has concentrated in the China seas, amounts to fifty-seven vessels of war, of which nineteen are steamers, and 15,000 troops, exclusive of the sailors of the feet. Such a force indicates that a govern ment, of which the Duke of Wellington is a member, will not carry on " a little war," and points to the speedy conclusion of our con test with the Celestial Empire. THE TAM FF.—We already hear of a few cattle and pigs being imported into Hull under the new tariff, but we cannot expect any notable reduction in butchers' meat until October, when pickled beef and pork will be admissible. The American article will then inevitably supersede the Irish, and ther consequence will be that the immense number of Irish cattle now slaughtering for curing , will find their way to the shambles fresh. Hams, of quality equal to any English hams, are already imported and selling at from 4d, to 7d. per lb. A dinner was given by several members of the House of Com mons at the Clarendon Hotel, on Saturday, to Lord Mahon arid Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, to celebrate the passing of the Copyright Bill, at which Lord Monteagle (in the absence of the Chancellor, who was prevented by indisposition from attending) presided. Amongst the company present were Lord Campbell, Lord Lyttleton, Lord Ashley. the Attorney-General, the Right Hon. W. E. Glad stone, and Sir Howard Douglas. • The Court of Queen's Bench, on the 2d of June last, decided that an unmarried female is not liable, under the Vagrant Act, 5 Geo. 4. c. 83, s. 4, to punishment for neglecting to maintain her bastard child, to which she is made subject under the Poor Law Act, 4 and 5 w i n. 4. c. 76, s. 71. The impression eerlAiuly was that she was liable, and the orders of the Poor Law Commissioners were to that etiect; but the court determined that th e word " chliti" in the 1 Vagrant Act altilies to legitimate children only. 1211PORTATION Or FOREIGN' CATTLE.—SOUTHAMPTONT, Yesterday (Sunday) the French brig Sylphide, Captain- Michael; arrived at this port from Morlaix. with 75 live cattle on board; this being the first importation of foreign oxen at Southampton since the passing of the new tariff. DARTMOUTH, Aug. S.—yesterday morning. the Mermaid, Captain Corneile, arrived at this port from Guernsey. She has brought Ave head of cattle from Perouse, a small harbour on the coast of France, near the Seven Islands. This is the only importation of foreign live stock at Dartmouth since Sir R. Peel's tariff became law. At the Guildford Assizes on Thursday, the Hon. Mr. Greville, a gentleman well known on the turf, brought an action for libel against the proprietors of the Sunday Times newspaper. The libel complained of was contained in a report of the proceedings of the last Epsom races, and the plaintiff was accused of having with drawn his horse, Canadian, from the race •in order that he might win several large bets that he had made against him. The de fendants put several pleas upon the record, which were, in fact, tantamount to a plea of justification.—Verdict for the plaintiff, damages x'.so. Szienuzna DISCOVERY OF A SHARK.—Captain Rowland, belong ing to the brig Anglesea, from Rio Janeiro for Antwerp, which arrived off Dover on Wednesday last, reports that on the 24th Of last month, in lat. 50 47, long. 10-10 W., he came up with the wreck of a vessel apparently about 5 o tons burden, and of Ameri can build. The weather being favourable, he, together with seve ral of the crew, boarded her, for the purpose of ascertaining her name. On reaching her deck, they were startled hya loud splash ing In the hold, when, upon taking off the hatchway, they dis covered an enormous shark entangled amongst the beams of the ship's bottom, which had been carried away on seeing them it made a desperate dart at one of the crew, who luckily fell back upon the deck and escaped. After considerable difficulty they managed to kill the monster and haul it out of the wreck on board their vessel. It measured 20 feet in length, and was of a very great weight. The name of the wreck was not learned, on ac count of the stern being gone. LIGIITHOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE.—The lighthouse on the North Quay, at Ayr, was observed to be on fire about half•past ten o'clock on Thursday morning, and before any effectual assist ance could be rendered the whole fabric was burned. It was built of wood, and had faced the storms of nearly seventeen years. No cause can be assigned for the occurrence of the accident.—Scots man Paper. BUYING A HORSE FOR A CLERGYMAN.—At Melksham fair, on Wednesday, a countryman was looking at some horses which were exhibiting for sale, when a gentleman in clerical attire, and repre senting himself to be such, applied to him to purchase a particular animal which he pointed out, saying as a clergyman he did not like to be seen in such eneagements, at the same time telling him he would give him a sovereign for his trouble. The trick took : the young man, " nothing green," paid .'l3 13s. for a horse not worth 41, which being done the clergyman was not to be found, and the purchaser had to take his bargain to himself with " all faults."— Sherborne Journal. LOVE AND SUICIDE.—A fine young man belonging to the horse artillery, blew his brains out on Sunday morning, in Limerick. He had been paying his addresses for some time previously to a young woman, and her refusal to marry him, on receiving the route for this garrison, led, it is supposed, to the committal of the rash act. He was a steads and excellent soldier, and much respected in the corps to which he belonged. ArreMPT AT MunnEß.—We learn the following particulars rela tive to an outrage which took place on I';'iday last in the county Tipperary :—About half-past two o'clock after midnight on Friday, the zgth nit, as Thomas and David Hennessy, of Graffiti, in the barony of Kilnamagh, parish of Donohill. and county of Tipperary (the former being under-agent to al r. Black,) were travelling in a cart to the assizes at Nenagh, and when not more than one mile and a half from home, three shots were fired at them in quick suc cession, from behind the road ditch, by which Thomas Hennessy received two severe wounds ; a bullet also passed through his bro ther's coat, without taking further effect —Dublin Evening Mail. - ME OYSTER SEASON.—The sale of oysters commenced at Bil lingsgate on Thursday, at noon, in accordance with a 'regulation of the Corporation of London, altering the period of commencing the • oyster season from twelve o'clockat night on the 4th to the hour of twelve at noon. On Wednesay afternoon there were twenty. ' • sail of oyster vessels at Billingsgate, and it was expected they, would be increased to forty by the flood-tide next morning. Up wards of 300 fellowAip porters and others were employed on bOard the smacks to measure and deliver the cargoes. The smacks arc *. principally from Rochester and Colchester. The oysters are re- • ported to he remarkably good ; and Mr. Goldham states, that he never saw finer in August. HINT TO ELECTORS.—August 20 is the last day for leaving with the overseers objections to county voters. August 25 is the last clay for the service of objections on electors in counties, or their tenants, and for the service on overseers of objections to borough electors; also the last day for the reception of claims as borough electors. August 29. overseers of parishes and townships to send lists of electors and lists of objections to the high constable of their respective hundreds. August 31, all taxes and rates payable on the Ist March must be paid on or before this day by all persons claim ing to be enrolled as b urgesses under the new M un i c ip a l Corpora tions Act. A SISTER SOOT BY A BitOsuisa.—Monday afternoon the in habitants and neighbourhood of Shepperton Cottages. Rosemary Branch, Hoxton, were thrown into a state of excitement, arising from the following melancholy event occurring at No. 64, Shep perton Cottages. It appears that the father is a commissioner of sewers, and that the family consists of several children. One of them, a lad about 15 years of age, has been in the habit of keeping pigeons, and for their protection has kept a pistol loaded to shoot the cats. One of the daughters, a fine girl about 15 years of age, was engaged in feeding one of the youngest members of the family, when a young child, a boy about seven years of age, by some means obtained possession of the pistol, and fired the weapon ; but wether it was discharged at any object could not be ascertained. Unfortunately the charge struck, and we regret to state, no less than 19 shots, varying in size from partridge to duck shot, entered the head of the poor girl. Several of the shot were extracted; but the worst fears are entertained. THE LATE MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN Dunsix.—After a protracted inquiry of eighteen days, the coroner's jury on the inquest relative to the death of Mr. Augustine Byrne, of Dublin, found on Wed nesday last, the following verdict :—" We find that Mr. Augustine Byrne was found dead in his bed at No. 1, Albert-terrace, Rath mines, in the Parish of St. Peter, and County of Dublin, upon Saturday, the 9th of July, 1842, and we find that the said Mr. Augustine Byrne met with his death at the said place between Sunday, the 3d of July, and Saturday, the gth July, 1842, under very mysterious circumstances : and that the strongest possible suspicions attach to Mrs. Ellen Byrne, wife of the said Augustine Byrne, of the said house, of being accessory thereto." Mrs. Byrne was then committed for trial under the coroner's warrant. THE EXCHEQUER BILL FRAUD.—It is confidently asserted in the city that in the report on the Exchequer Bill affair, now in progress of being printed, it is recommended by the commission that par liament should adopt the whole of the issues characterised as fraudulent, and make provision for the payment of them, with the sole exception of certain amounts still lying in the bands of two of the brokers who were chiefly employed in stock transactions and raising money for Beaumont Smith, Rapallo, &e. These parties themselves, it must be observed, are understood to be quite ready to deliver up the Exchequer Bills thus remaining over undisposed of, and casually it may be said, in transitu, in their hands for raising funds when wanted by the chief delinquent and his agents or ac complices.—Morning Herald. DREADFUL HURRICANE.—On the 3d of June, a hurricane of fearful violence visited Calcutta, destroying and seriously injuring no fewer than forty vessels in the river, with a great loss of human life. It scarcely visited Bombay; but its vicinage was manifested by the most extraordinary, and at the same time inexplicable, de pression of all barometic instruments. At Bombay. a couple of old East India Company China ships have been burnt within a week of each other when just ready for sea. The Vansittart was reduced to ashes on the 3d, and the Cornwallis on the 10th June. The loss of property occasioned by these events, amounts to above ..100,000, The fires are believed to have been the work of incen diary lascars, and £550 reward has been offered by the insurance offices fcr the detection of the culprits. The suspicion is can , jumped over board, firmed by the circumstance of another ship, also readypfloarcesaeait, and to sail for China to-morrow, having been discovered to be on fire; but it was promptly extinguished. It appears that the lascars their integreetsitt had prepared a large quanti•y of combustible matter, below acask of spirits in the hold, and then set fire to it. The fire engines from the government steamers were sent on board, and speedily extinguished the fire; but the lascars all and attempted to make their escape in boats, but the rbliaarmleeyn,toaartys,r:tnudrn all m seized , onth . , pay an in are advance;now int therefore confinement. becomes Thesepeople "vere shows the destroy the vessel in order to release them from their engagements.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS. Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters qf Germany. The style of pre paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS iS peculiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu racy ' • and though n um b ers o f peo ple unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. TFIE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms. &e., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &c. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive-organs by causing acid fermentation. VEGETABLE HAIR OIL Is allowed to he an excellent discovery for invigorating and renovating thr human Hair.
