ALLSOP'S WAX-WORK EXHIBITION, TEUTONIC•HALL
LIME-STREET, LIVERPOOL.—DOVE, THE MURDERER.—The
only correct likeness of this criminal is to be seen at the
above exhibition, and is placed by the side of Palmer. Both
these poisoners are full-length, and are acknowledged by all
to be perfect likenesses. They are surrounded by upwards
of 100 wax figures, large as life; together with 500 statues,
busts, casts of heads, &c.. &e. ; also a great number of
Stereoscopic and other views. The proprietor begs to state
that the likeness of Dove and Palmer are most positively
the only true ones taken. Palmer was modelled by Mr.
George Ewing, of London, during his trial at the Old
Bailey; and a sketch of Dove was taken by Mr. John
Storey, of York, and afterwards modelled expressly for Mr.
Allsop, by Mr. William Leland, of Liverpool. Open from
ten, a.m., till ten, p.m. Admission, Sixpence. A quadrille
baud in attendance. Observe the name of Allsop's Way.

CHARMING.—At the Wolverhampton Borough Police
Tuesday, John Clark was convicted of obtaining
several sums of money from a young man, named Richard
Moore, under the pretence of curing him of fits by the
Court, ou
administration of pills and drugs, and by palmistry. There
was also a charge against him of having " charmed" Mr.
Foster Gough, attorney, out of £4, by fraudulent represen-
tations. The magistrates committed him, as a rogue and
vagabond, to three months' hard labour for
the first offence.
MR. CLAUBSON, THE BARRISTER.—We regret to say
that this learned gea tleman still continues in a very preca-
rious state of health, at his Brighton residence on the
King's road, and that no favourable change can be reported;
His severe illness arose, in the first place, some ten
weeks
since, from a large carbuncle on the back of the neckand
for which he underwent an operation, which,although
skilfully performed, had the effect of producing
great
prostration. After several changes, the learnedgentleman,
we are sorry to say, is in a state to excite considerableapprehension and fear.
