SHOP-WINDOW REFLECTORS

On the application of some of the inspectors of nui-
sances, several shopkeepers who had affixed reflectors to
their windows, to the great inconvenience of the public,
were ordered to be summoned.
The court then adjourned.

[AnvEarnmizxr.l—The following is one out of many thou-
sand extraordinary cures without medicine effected by Du
Barry's deliciouS Health Restoring Revalenta Arabica Food
of Indigestion (Dyspepsia),
Flatulency, Constipation, Nervous,
Bilious, and Liver Complaints, Cough, Asthma, Consumption,
and Debility :—Stapleford-park, near Me:ton Mowbray, Lei-
cestershire, June 19th, 1848. L—1 have been suffering from
indigestion for the last five years. I had a breaking out in
my neck, and sore throat at the commencement, which I
have suffered from at times ever since, and a continual pain
at the pit of my stomach, and oftentimes sickness and head-
ache, with a bad appetite, and languor of body and mind. I
could not take sufficient food to keep up my strength, and I
often felt great weakness in my legs. I have been continually
taking medicine, but found it only weakens the stomach more.
I have taken the Revalenta Food for the last ten clays, and
beg to tender to you my most 'grateful thanks for your kind
advice. The benefit I have derived in so short a time is very
far beyond my expectation. The pain at the pit ofthesttioi; Mach quite left me after taking your food three days, and
effects on the bowels have also been very favourable. I feel
much less pain in my head, back, and legs. I sleep much
better, and feel refreshed from it. My appetite is much bet-
ter. I heartily thank you for 'your kind attention, and sball
take every opportunity of recommending this excellent food
to any one that maybe suffering from the same complaint, &a.

Upon being questioned by Mr. Alderman Salomons,
the complainant said the boy had acted in the most open
manner, and no suspicion at all was entertained of his
integrity. In all probability if the lad had not himself
suggested the caution, the money would have been given
without hesitation or inquiry.
The boy's father said—My son, upon being questioned
by me, said a person outside the door had spoken to him
as he was going home from his daily occupation, and
told bun if he would give in the note and bring out an
answer, some trifle should be given to him, but that not
a word had been said to him about receiving cash for
the contents.

Huggins (the detective) said it was a common prac-
tice with thieves and utterers of forgeries to endeavour
to induce boys of respectable appearance, whom they
accidentally met in the streets, to call at the houses of
shopkeepers with notes and cheques of the kind, and in
some instances the trick had succeeded. He at the same
time produced a sample of the same sort of villany which
bad a few days ago succeeded.
Alderman Salomons said the influence of the press
could be beneficially exercised in cases of this kind, and
discharged the boy, who appeared to be much shocked
and terrified.

GUILDHALL.—A member of parliament and a gen-
tleman of the highest standing in the commercial world,
whose names for obvious reasons we omit, were SUIT,-
moned to appear before Alderman Humphery to answer
a charge of conspiracy to prevent the complainant, Mr.
Christopher Rice Mansell Talbot, Lord Lieutenant and
M.P. for Glamorganshire, from realising a certain se-
curity for the advance of 10,0001., which he had made
to one of the defendants.

The precise nature of the complaint upon which the
summons was issued did not publicly transpire, but we
believe the matter to be substantially as follows :—One
of the defendants requiring money, applied to the com-
plainant, who thereupon advanced a sum of 10,0001., and
received as security the bond of the other defendant,
who is a member of parliament, it being distinctly under-
, stood by all parties that a vessel then building should
form an'additional security for the loan. The latter de-
fendant subsequently advanced 10,0001. also to the bor-
rower in the first instance, and afterwards registered his
claim upon the vessel in the ordinary way, the borrower
at the same time making a declaration and signing the
covenant to the effect that the vessel was free from all
encumbrances, both defendants knowing at the time
that it was already mortgaged, by verbal agreement, to
the complainant for the SUM he bad advanced. The com-
plainant's claim upon the vessel was, therefore, ousted
by the precaution taken by the defendant, who alleges he
advanced a further sum of 10,000/,
Mr. Newbon attended before Alderman Humphery
and Alderman Finnis, to explain that he had no com-
plaint to make with respect to this summons, as the par-
ties were not in attendance, having adjusted the matter
to their mutual satisfaction. He therefore wished to
withdraw the summons.
Alderman Humphery asked how he could do that and
compromise Mr. Talbot ?
Mr. Newbsn E aid Mr. Talbot bad no desire to proceed
any further with the ease.
Alderman Humphery said it was a very serious charge
against two gentlemen, and he could not see how the
magistrates could consent to such a compromise, but they
would do everything that was right. The worthy alder-
man said he had granted this summons, and he was there
to attend to it.
Alderman Finnis said it seemed to him that the sum-
mons was taken out without any intention of proceeding
with it.
The City Solicitor inquired if there was any informa-
tion Mr. Martin said there was not.
taken upon oath ?
Alderman Humphery said he was very careful before
he granted the summons, and was most anxious to ascer-
tain whether what Mr. Newbon had stated was really a
fact.
Mr. Newbon said there had been no compromise at
and hehad noto discuss
wish •
all ; but the present proceeding had been commenced
under a misapprehension,
the sub;ect at that time.
Alderman Humpbery said neither had be, but the
magistrates only sat there for the administration of jus-
tice, and he did not wish to be made the means of ter-
rifying Mr. Newbon said he did not desire to proceed under a
misapprehension.

(the Alderman) said that he would not grant a summons
for the express purpose of dragging money out of another
man's pocket.
The City Solicitor asked the alderman if he wished
the summons to be proceeded with ?
Alderman Humphery said he did not ; but he ob-
jected upon principle to the making use of him as an in-
strument of tyranny and oppression.
Alderman Finnis said it was a very improper thing to
make such charges against gentlemen, and then not go
on with them when the time for hearing them arrived.
Alderman Humphery said it was just as be said it
would be. However, the parties were not here, and the
complaint was therefore dismissed ; but he wished to be
clearly understood that it was dismissed in consequence
of the summons being withdrawn and the parties not ap-
pearing to press the charge.
James Hunt, a private in the Royal London Militia,
was charged with.vioJently.a3saulting Wm. Drawbridge.
There was also a second charge against the prisoner, of
assaulting the policeman in the execution of his duty.
It appeared that the prisoner was drunk, when he got

The whole of the iron planing mills are burned do gn,
the saw mills are also destroyed, the joiners' shops are
levelled with the ground, the masons' shops are also
consumed, and a valuable stock of marble completely
splintered; several stacks of Spanish and Honduras
mahogany, as well as Dantzic wainscoting, are reduced
to ashes. The greater portion of the valuable trees in
the park adiiining the Archbishop of Cant(rhury's
Palace were set on fire, and at 11 o'clock there seemed
little chance of F avitig any on the eastern side. Fortu-
nately the palace (lid rot receive the least injury, but
the alarm amongst the domestics, especially when the
eastern wall of the park fell, was exceedingly great.
A rigid and scare:blig inquiry has taken place with
regard to the origin of the calamity, but nothing satis-
factory has been ascertained.

The men usually left off work at half-past 5, but
owing to a pressure of business they did not leave off on
Monday till half-past 8 o'clock ; and at that time the
gas was turned off and everything appeared safe and
free from fire.
