Coaxs.—The hardness upon the tors, and other parts
of the feet, are in gi neral too familiar to most of our read.
e;s to require description. The cure, however, will be
necessary to dwell a little upon. When corns become
large and painful, th:•y ought to be pared closely down
with a sharp knife or ranor, and the centre hard point de.
Cached without giving pain. Previous to this opzraticm,
the feet should be kept in warm water for half an hour, in
order to soften the parts, to render them mote free to the
knife ; a plaster composol of equal parts of compound
galbanum plaster, and plaster of ammoniac, with mercury.
spread upon linen, applied round the to;, and continue it
upon it for a fortnight, when it should be taken off, the
feat again badvel for half an hour in warm water, and the
corns again cut, when a similar plaster should be ap.
plied. Some have found great success in merely cutting
the corns, as above th sci ilk'', and keeping their feet in
warm water every night Cur a month ; cutting the corns
whenever they appeared, but wearing no plaster. It is
needless to mention that right shoes must not be wont.—

IPEOPLE AT BATTLIG—Our readers were
apprised that on the 13th inst. there was to he a
hearing at the bench at Battle, in StIVWX, of the
complaints made by Mr. Cubbett against some lessees
of tolls near to that town. On Tuesday last, therefore,
the hearing came on before a full and most rtsp..'etable
bench of Magistretra. Mr. C. wss unable to leave town ;
his eldest son, Mr. Wen. Cobbett, attended the Ma.
gist►ates in his 'teed, and by their permission stated to
them the grot—eis of the complaints, and the evidemv
in support of the allegations. The result was much
the name as that which took place at ('ranbrook.
Nevertheless there was one point on which the corn.
plainant ventured to express an opinion different from
that of the Bench, who, though they fined the parties,
slid not fine them sufficiently to leave money enough iu the
hands of the informer wholly to snake up for the sums tilr
justly taken from the two carriers, for whose sakes solely
the complaints had been made. Summonses were therefore
demanded by Mr. W. ('obbctt against one of the toll.
renters, in order to compel him to pay the full penalty of
31., and he is to appear before the Beath, at Battle, on
Tuesday, the 27th inst.
Nlaiyentsrea FANCY.—On Monday last a dinner was
given at the Townhall T.evem, in thin town, to the champian
Spring, when a handsome silver eup, with a suitable inacriptsora.
and cmbleniatical decorations, which had been purchased by a subs
script Ma of his friends in this town, wss resented to bias Sty thy
