A itoMATIC SPIRIT OF VINEGAR.---Trusagree-
CIL bly perfumed Liquor (the original invention of Mr. henry),
which is of well-known efficacy in relieving faintness and head-
ed', and in counteracting' the effects of overheated, close or in-
fected air, continues to be prepared in the greatest perfection by
Messrs. THOMAS and WILLIAM HENRY, manufacturing
chemists, Manchester.
It is sold in London, wholesale and retail, by Messrs. Bayley and
Blew, perfumers, Lorkspur:street; and retail, price 2s. by one
or more agents, in every principal town; but it cannot he genuine
unless the names of the above preparers are engraved on the Govern-
ment Stamp, which is fixed over the cork of each bottle.
Proper Sponge Boxes are sold by Bayley and Blew, as usual.
As above, may also be had, authenticated by a similar stamp,
Henry's Calcined Magnesia, in bottles, at 2s. ltd., or with glass
stoppers, at 45. 6d.

MPETIGINES, or SOLOMON'S DROPS.—
Few families are entirely exempt from diseases caused by
impurity of the blood and depraved humours. In fact, our artifi-
cial habits and the vices of society are continually introducing such
complaints where they were unknown before. Hence the prevalence
of R•rofula, Cutaneous Eruptions, BiliotiaComplaints, and Chronic
Rheumatism, not to speak of disews noire immediately connected
with an Infeeted System.
The Antiatopetiginea attacks this hydra at its seat, and by a
mild, but effectual operation, purities the whole mass of blood, and
gives new vigour to the vital organs. One or two bottles have sue..
ceeded when every other means have been ineffectually resorted tn.
Cases and illustrations may be seen in the " Guide to Health,"
prize 3s. to which the reader is referred for much valuable informs.
tion on subjects most interesting to all classes of persons.
The A nti-Impctigines is sold by Mr. Johnston. Gil, Cornhill ;
Mr. Sanger, 150, Oxford-street; Mr. Ward, llolburn ; and Mr.
Henry 51ackrill, 33, %Vhiterhapel ; in bottles at Ils. each; there
are also family bottles, price 335. each, containing the quantity of
four at Ils.
To prevent counterfeits, the words " Simi. Solomon. Liverpool,"
are engraved on the stamp, to imitate which is Felony.

[From the flatapwllire rekgraph.]
In our Paper of the 20th of March last, we gave a detailed et ate-
mem of the melancholy shipwreck of the France-land Mary, from
St. Joint's, New Brunswick, bound to Liverpool, the surviving
crew of which were saved by the Blonde frige!e, but ft blew so
bard at that time, that Lord Byron timid neither destroy the ship
nor take her in tow : this was on the 9th of March, in lat.
long. 22. It now arrears that this ship has held together durihg
all the hard weather that occurred in the early part (Attie auntmev,
and loss been drifting gradually to the southward anti eastward, she
having been fallen in with on the 25th of Jane, in lat. 37., long.

from Rio de Janeiro to Lisbon. His Lordship feeling satisfied
that this wreck was very likely to he the cau,e of much damage, if
rot of shipwreck to others' if allowed longer to drift about in the
:tamale, took it in tow, hut the heavy drag and the lightness of
the winds so retarded the Diamond, that, on the representation of
Sir Charles Stuart, who was anxious to get to Lisbon, it was deter-
mined again to cast the wreck adrift. Four gentlemen of the ship,
and a boat's crew, instantly volunteered to carry the wreck into St.
Mary's (mete of the Western Islands), from which they were then
distant 120 miles. Accordingly they were put on board, with two
, months' provisiune and a tow neoeisaries, and were cut adrift at
r half-past eight in the evening of the 27th of June. The gallant
any neon found how destitute was their condition ; the water
flowed through the upper, or cabin deck, so deep, that they could
knot live there, and they were first obliged to build a poop, or
cabin. They then f and they had no rudder, and it took them four
days to make a mac tine to answer the purpose of one. The ves-
sel hail only her bowsprit and main and main-top masts standing,
and only one yard cc oss, with which but little sail could be made,
but the wind, fortun tidy, was generally to the eastward—they had

gress, goat it vas stvente.n days be ore tiny got sight of S:. 51a.;

chorage, This wr. ele, previous to the Diamo.,d's feldng in with
her, valet have ben visited by a great twiny ships ; her bow and
stern-raft ports hal been cut ou o doubt to try to get part of her
cargo ; even her chain-pia es had been unbolted, and her figure-
hew.l sawn off. Her intrep d c ew sow five ships in their progress
to Si. Mary's—one of them, the Tea Plant, from Havannah to
GA?, gave them many reeessar;es. It was intended to sell the
wreck aed cargo as a derelict, at St. Michael's. The gentlemen

The Thetis spoke off ;he I,le of St. Sebastian, the some day she
left Rio Janeiro, the Portuguese line-of-battle ship Don Juan de
Sexto, 74, having on board the Duke of de la Funs, charged with
a special mission hi en the Lisbon Regency, that his Imperial Ma-
jesty would allow his daughter, to whom he had transferred the
Portuguese Crown, ni be sent to Portugal in that ship, and it was
expected Ow hen °aid allow this to be done.
The ship Chapman, from London to New South Wales, had ar-
rived, with the loss of nearly all her masts, at Rio Janeiro; was
otherwise in good conditon.
The Thetis spoke on the 16th Angust the Arctorue. from
Liverpool to Bath (U. S.) in lat. 42.35. long. 41. 13. On the 21st

with their gallant Genteel Roth!, had gone from Rio tie Janciro,
in a vessel called the Rising St .r.
' Os Mo-dav the Princess Royal transport, Licitelant T.Hewltt,
arrived from Jamaica, whh detachments of the 33d, 50th, 77th,
and 92.1 Regiments, and invalided seamen. She left Pert Reyal
on the 10th of July, and :Bootee° Bay the 15th. whither she went
for water, but could act obtain any ; she then proceeded far Hall-
fax, fur the purpose, but strong contrary winds prevented her from
reaching that coast ; the alternative was then resorted to of put-
ting the crew and passengers on short allowance during the passage
across the Atlantic. When the Princess Royal left Port Royal, the
arrival of the Hussar, 46, Captain George Harris, C.B. trom Tri-
nidad, was daily expected, it being intended that that ship should
proceed immediately to Tampico, to embark the Mexican Minister,
and about a million and a half of dollars. for England. The sugar
and coffee crops in the IVest India Islands never promised a better
season ; and the Black population were remarkably quiet. The
Tweed, 28, Captain Hunn, had sailed for Port-au-Prince (St.
Domingo) to protect the British property, a commotion having
suddenly arisen there. The Isis, 50, Captain Patton, was hove
down at Port Royal ; the Rattlesnake, 213, Captain Leith, was also
there. The other ships of the squadron were at sea, employed on
various services. The oflicers and crews were generally healthy.
Lieutenants Hope and Hoplthis, and Mr. Paterson, Midshipman,
of the Tweed (eon of Vice-Admiral Paterson), came passengers in
the Princess Royal. Several brass 36-pounders, part of the ordi-
nance of the French line of-battle ship Ville de Paris, captured by
Lord Rodney, in 17112, have been brought to England in the Prin.
CUP Royal. The pins were landed at the Gun Wharf at Port
Royal, previous to that ship sailing on her unfortunate voyage to
Eegland.
'the Pertuguese:echooner La Fortune arrived at Siena Leone on
the 10th of Jove, taken by the Brazen at Prince's Island, having

The (hinges, 114, Sir R. W. Otway, arrived at Lisbon on the
111th ult. in nine days from Spitheatl, and was to proceed the next
day for Rio Janeiro. The Talbot, 28, Capt. the Hon. F, Spencer,
arrived at Gibraltar on the 25th of July, and sailed the next day for
Maim.
The scarcity of water this year in the different quarters of the
globe is remarkable. The Southworth transport, which arrived last
week, was ordered away from the Cape of Good Home, to obtain
her necessary supply of water at St. Helena; the Princess Royal,
finding that water could not be obtained either at Port Royal or
Montego Bay, sailed for North America, for a mind!.
On Wednesday the Philomel, 10, Lord Wm., Paget. arrived
from a cruise, and is now fitting for a foreign station—is is supposed

Service boat of Dunbar.

EXECUTION or JOHN GREEN, FOR BURGLARV.—At
the earliest moment of dawn on Saturday morning, the roads lead-
ing to the Castle presented groups of people buoying to witness
the removal of this wretched man from the Castle to the City
Gaol. The fatal engine was vetted upon the west front of the
prison eatly on Friday; and the executioner, Burrows, wu kept
in the Governor's house the day 41%1 night previous, to ensure his
being sober (a rare thing) at the awful crisis. The countenance of
Green had undergone a great change since his condemnation, from
which time he had been almost constantly attended by the Rev.
Mr. llosk ns. His conduct altogether was that of a penitent. His
wife (who is left with five children) visited him for the last time on
Wednesday, and the interview was truly affecting. Upon the
arrival of the cart at the City Gaol, the unhappy man °trained a
view of the fatal drop. Ile seemed dreadfully agitated for a few
minutes, but soon again recovered himself, and joined, as before,
in prays r. From Wednesday to Saturday morning, Green had
rot been heard to mention his children ; but when Mr. Noyes, one
of the inmates of the whim', was rearlirg a tract to him a few hours
lef,re his death, he came to a part touching the misfortunes of
orphan children, thrown upon the world under such circumstances
as Green's were likely to be, when he became again drerulfully
agitated, and prayed fervently for them, and expressed a wish that
his manner of death could be kept fnm their knowledge.
He acknowledged the justice of his sentence, but made no confession
respecting the gang he had been connected with. His words were,
"I shall implicate no one else: if I suffer it is enough ; I have
confessed all my sins to God, and I have no right to confess more;
I acknowledge the justice of my sentence. God give me courage to
bear the last part of it." At twelve o'clock the crowd assembled
to witness the awful sight was very great, about which time Green
was brought up to a room near the drop, attended by the Reverend
Gentleman ; he walked with a hesitating step, and seemed dread-
fully dismayed. His lips appeared as if moving in silent prayer.
In a few minutes after he was pinioned by the hangman, (during
which ceremony he incessantly exclaimed, Oh God, have mercy
on me ! Christ save me l") and was then led to the platform.
Every thing being arranged, the cap was drawn over his eyes, and
having remained in prayer a few minutes, the drop fell, and he was
launched into eternity. He did not struggle much, and his milli r-
ines appeared to be terminated in a moment. After hanging the
usual time, the body was cut down and delivered to • relation (we
believe), who was in waiting with a cart—Chester Chronicle.
The storm and tempest on Friday se'nnight fell with ex-
traordinary violence in the direction of Dies. The lightning
was vivid and awful, and the thunder terrifically loud. At
Shelfanger an ash and an oak on the farm of Mr. Anness
were shattered to pieces. In the pariah of Frenze a sheep
was struck dead by the lightning, and a horse was killed in
the parish of Palgrave, in which parish 400 small birds
were picked up dead the next morning, 24 of which were
killed in the ivy surrounding the church. Near Stow.
market damage to nearly the amount of 300/. was done to a
windmill by the lightning and the high winds. We hear
that several trees were struck and damaged in different
parts of the neighbourhood. At New Buckenham a house
was very much damaged, the windows were broken and
shattered to pieces; on the wood-work and window-frames
a substance was left nearly resembling the flour of sulphur
in appearance and smell; the studs of the house were split
from top to bottom.—Norwick Mercury.
