A CAPITAL VILLA EDIFICE,

erected three years since of stone and white brick, and covered with
Italian tiles, presenting altogether a most refreshing contrast to the
new light of the modern school. Substantiality is visible within and
without, and the whole is completed, in good taste, with Memel
and Baltic timber. The hall and staircase are of stone and oak, the
landing arched and fire-proof. The accommodation throughout the
abode is perfect, including on the upper floor four large bedrooms
and a smaller ditto. First floor, two excellent bedchambers, 16ft.
61n. by 15R. 6in., and 17ft. by 16ft. Sin. ; three smaller ditto, a dres-
sing room and commodite on the ground floor, a drawing.room, 23ft. by

water, and enclosed by folding gates.

NO TAXES,

It is an opportunity infinitely surpassing the prospect in New
Zealand, and the Lands to be purchased at one.fourth the price.
IT IS A CERTAIN FORTUNE TO THOSE WHO WOULD

EMIGRATE.
Principals only will be treated with by applying at Mr. George
Robins's Office, Covent-garden.

EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY FOR IRISH SECURITY.
MR. G. ROBINS respectfully announces
that he is instructed either to SELL or to EXCHANGE
A FINE PROPERTY IN THE MOST:FERTILE PART OF

SCOTLAND.

The value approaches
THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS,
The Mansion is of recent creation,

OF THE PURE ELIZABETHAN ORDER,

adorned by plate glass windows throughout, and it will be perceived
that great judgment presided over its completion. The accommo-
dation is fully equal to all the legitimate wants of a Nobleman or
Family of pretensions, without being in the dilemma too often
complained of, being inconveniently large, consequently requiring
an expensive establishment. The interior is fitted up in taste, cor-
responding with its Elizabethan structure. Hot and cold baths,
commodites, &e. It is happily placed on high ground
IN THE CENTRE ON A FINELY WOODED PARK OF
EIGHTY ACRES,
and commanding extended and interesting scenery
TERMINATED BY THE GERMAN OCEAN.

In the gardens are hot and succession houses, a Lodge of pretty
Design, and a Courtyard, forming a Quadrangle, is in keeping with
the architectural form of the Man.•ion.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF STALLS AND COACH.HOUSES,
and all essential out.door appendages; in fact, throughout Scot-
land it would be very difficult to find a more oelightful purchase.
THERE ARE ALTOGETHER FIVE HUNDRED ACRES
let to a respectable tenantry.
It may be sold

A GREAT BARGAIN,
or exchanged with an estate of equal value in Ireland.
Particulars will be given to principals only, by applying to Mt
George Robins, Covent.garden.

27. New Broad-street.
At a Meeting of the Committee of this Society, held on
Friday, the 30th of August, 1839.
WILLIAAI ALLEN, Esq., in the Chair,
It was unanimously resolved —That this Committee have
heard with deep regret and alarm of the recent decisions of the
Jamaica Courts appointed for the administration of justice, by
which the Rev. Mr. Stanisley, a clergyman of the Church of
England, Messrs. Edmund 13, Lyon and Daniel W. Kelly,
Esqrs., Stipendiary Magistrates, and Mr. John Castello, the
Editor of a newspaper, well known for their honest and uncom-
promising support of the rights of the labouring classes, have
had verdicts found against them in different actions, which
will involve them in great pecuniary loss if not ruin, while the
Rev. W. Knibb, a Missionary, has been nonsuited in an at-
tempt to obtain redress against the malignant and libellous
attacks of the pro-Slavery Press.
These verdicts have been found by Juries composed of a
class of men who have uniformly opposed the emancipation of
the Slave, and evinced the bitterest feelings of hostility towards
the advocates of freedom.

This Committee, while they earnestly appeal to the Govern-
ment to take immediate steps to secure redress to the injured
parties, and to prevent a repetition of similar evils by the Co-
lonial tribunals, notorious tor the glaring injustice of their de-
cisions, strongly recommend to the sympathy of the British
public, these friends of the oppressed, under the severe perse-
cution to which they are subjected.
Signed by order and on behalf of the Committee,
W. ALLEN, Chairman.

OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE."

Mr. LEWIS, the SOLE INVENTOR of the NEW
PROCESS of WRITING, engages to transform any scrawl,
however bad, into a free and beautiful style (by a most inte-
resting and permanent operation, in a few days. So great has
been the success of the Lewisian system, and so infallible are
the principles on which it is founded, that if the public will
but second Mr. L.'s endeavours, by a continuance of their pre-
sent liberal patronage, scarcely a bad hand shall, in a few years,
be found in London.

Those whose hands have Leen LEWIS-IZED cannot, by
any possibility, relapse into their former bad habits.

extraordinary, safe, and never-failing remedy for the speedy and
certain cure of Corns and Bunions, however obstinate and longstand-

very, to Caution the Public, against base and spurious imitations, in.
jurious in their effects, and most dangerous to those who either
induced
to ignorance or the fraudulent pretences of others, are
to apply them. The Proprietor has received Testimonials of its be-

SPAIN.

MADRID, Auo. 22. —The Ministers have had several
consultations since they received Espartero's despatches.
These despatches were communicated to the Queen by
General Alaix, and a Cabinet Council was held imme-
diately after.
The Ministry, it is said, has just arranged the cere-
mony for opening the Cortes, but the deepest mystery in-
volves all the communications of the Duke of Victory
with the Government.

The belief in a compromise gains ground daily, and an
extraordinary courier is to be shortly aespatched to Paris.
This measure would be exceedingly popular, and, under
existing circumstances, of benefit to both the opposing
parties. The Exaltados will be compelled to moderate
their opinions, and coincide with the general wish of the
uition. This news has done some good on 'Change.
The Five per Cents. have risen to 21k.

MANSION

of recent creation, and finished in conformity with the present style;
it is of the Doric order of architecture, and the Facade is admired .or

its bold proportions ; it is not too large, but full of comfort, and the
offices both within and without are of a corresponding character.
The Kitchen Gardens are extensive, walled round, and very pro.
ductive. The Flower Gardens and Pleasure Grounds display con-
siderable taste, with luxuriant plantation walks, which form a belt
to the whole. Connected with this enviable property are

a short drive of
THE DUCHESS OF BEDFORD'S CHATEAU.

In this little Purchase will be found the rare agremens of more of
gaiety and of privacy combined (that is if it be desired) than is
usually attendant on country life. The scenery is everywhere most
beautiful and of great extent. This rural seat is happily placed on
the borders of a quiet vale, encircled by smiling hills and adorned
by luxuriant foliage, which overshadow the evergreen walks—the
lawn resplendent in cedar and chesnut trees. The lofty Torrs of
Dartmoor Are in view, and in the Forest will be found never-ceas-
ing temptation to the Angler and the Sportsman. The river Towy
meanders, and forms the southern boundary to the rich meadows,
with good trout-fishing. There are several Packs of Hounds hunt
the neighbourhood, and

delicate that the evergreens defy the wintry winds. Such
is a very faithful portraiture of this enviable property, and Mr.
Robins would entreat those who are in search of such delightful
retirement to seek ocular demonstration. The residence, which
occupies ono hundred feet frontage on the Lawn, includes the fol-
lowing accommodation :

Four Attic Chambers—Three Bed-rooms on the Second Floor.
On the Principal Story two best Bed Chambers over the body
of the house, and two in the wings,and one over the Breakfast Par-

DRUNKENNESS AND DEATH.

On Monday night, at eight o'clock, Mr. Payne and
a Jury assembled at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. to
pursue an inquiry relative to the death of Mrs. Mary
Anne Surridve, aged 53.

Mr. Josyph Hesson, hatmaker, No. 33, Thomas-
s rem, StAntord-street, said that on Saturday, the 19th
of the last month, the daughter of the deceased called
him to her mother's assistance, who had fallen down
gain's. He found her at the foot of the kitchen stairs
and her left lei,' seemed broken. Mr. Menzies, a sur-
geon, was sent for, who promptly attended. He wished
her to be taken to that hospital. She was removed
there the next day. Deceased had been extremely well
off formerly and on that account objected to go.
Elizabeth Surridge, aged eight and a-half years, a re-
markably intelligent child, was next examined. She
stated that she lived at No. 30, in the same street.
Witness and her mother were the only persons in the
house when her mother fell.

ConoNEzt—What made your mother fall? Witness
—She was tipsy, Sir.
Was she often so ?—Yes, Sir.
What did she generally drink ?—Gin, Sir.
Who fetched it for her ?—I did, Sir.
How much did she drink that day ?—Four guar-
terns, Sir.

Where is your father ?—ln Heaven, sir, I hope.
He died three weeks before I was born.

Mr Coster, the house surgeon, said that the left leg
was severely broken. She was treated for delirium
tremens, of which she died. On a post mortem exami-
nation the brain was found vascular, and the stomach
diseased from drink.
Verdict—" Accidental death."

The changes of fashion often cause great distress
among the workmen. In 1765 the peace of the me-
tropolis was disturbed by the peruke makers, who went
in procession to petition the King against the innovation
of people wearing their own hair. At the recovery of
George 111., after his first illness, an immense number
of buckles were manufactured ; they were spread over
the whole kingdom. All the wealth of Walsall was
invested in this speculation. The King went to St.
Paul's without buckles. Shoe-strings supplied the
place of straps, and Walsall was nearly ruined. The
disuse of wigs, leather•breeches, buckles, and buttons,
is supposed to have affected the industry of 1,000,000
persons.-IVadc's British History.

SIR JAMES MURRAY'S RECLAMA-
TION.

TO THE EDITORS OP THE DIERICO-CHIRUR. REVIEW.
33, Piccadilly, Aug. 21, 1839.
GENTLEMEN—Last winter I apprised you that in future you
could obtain no Solution of Magnesia from a THEN agent of
our's in London ; that person has since set up for himself, and
has garbled the eulogium which you wrote in your 31edico-
Chirur. Review, and has applied your testimoliial to an imita-
tion of his own, not in existence when you published your fa-
vourable opinion of the genuine article.
If characters, intended for one person or thing, can be thus
transferred to the purposes of others, then all confidence would
be at an end, particularly in matters connected with Medicine,
Health, and Life, and the merit and credit of all discoveries and
improvements would be alienated in open day. As friends of
fair dealing I beg of you to favour me with your opinion of such
conduct. —I remain, Sirs, yours sincerely.
JAMES MURRAY.
N.B. We have continued to use and prescribe Sir Jas. Mur-
ray's Solution of Magnesia, and the character given of it in our
journal was, of course, applied to the original.—Editors, Me-
dico Chirur. Review.
The great advantages of this elegant preparation are, that,
possessing all the properties of the magnesia in general use, it
is not liable to form concretions in the bowels, it corrects
acidity effectually without injuring the coats of the stomach, as
carbonate of soda is known to do, it prevents the food of infants
turning sour, it is very useful in complaints of the bladder, and
in all cases it acts as a pleasing aperient, peculiarly adapted for
females.
:Hurray's Genuine Solution may ho obtained wholesale, at
the Depot, 33, Piccadilly; Savory's, Bond-street, and Regent-
street ; t;ifford's, 104, Strand ; Colk's, Fleet-street ; Sanger's,
Oxford-street ; Simon and Lightfoot's, Threadneedle-street ;

It is curious and amusing to observe with what :4 1-

up their charge of" cumulative treason" against the Cc in-
servative body, and to conceal the clear and unequivoi Id
testimony by which that charge is exploded and r( :n-

amines a sample of perversion in the case of r /r.
Roby's speech—a passage first garbled by the
Obserrer, for the purpose of nc.,;gnant mit ;re -

posed the fraud, distorted by the ingeouity of tit c
Examiner, to a meaning precisely the opposi.4o of tha t
which an honest and unprejudiced into.-corete r
would assign to it. The "horning Chronicle to-;la; v
supplies us with another sample of such perverse i n
dustry in a quotation from the speech of the Re v.
Mr. Gregg to the Operative Association in Dubli so,
in which the Rev. Speaker employed a phrase expn is-
sive of a doubt as to the genuineness of her Majest, r's i
Christianity. Mr. Gregg's allusion was, in our opinh In,
highly improper. Where a doubt can exist [for of ir-
selves, we can have none of the sincere religious fe al- •

it is at least uncharitable to speak of even that. dou. bt
—still more so to speak with an unfavourable man. I-
tion ; and it is unconstitutional to speak at all of whet t
personally concerns the Sovereign. But " the fed
will quiver where the pincers tear." Mr. Grcgf
is an Irish Protestant clergyman, one of a clan ;
smarting under the bitter persecution of an no-
Christian Government, and he too naturally, thong):
unjustly, infers, that the Sovereign, by whose sol e
favour that Government boasts to rivet itself on th e
country, participates in its character. Besides, Mt
Gregg is a zealous and a severely pious man ; and vrie
very much doubt whether such a man would allow the
praise of genuine Christianity to any one less zealous
than himself—we, at least, should be sorry to abide by
his decision in this matter as regards ourselves.

SALE EY AUCTION.

THE CASTLE OF TULLICIIEWEN AND ITS DEMESNE.
Mit. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully notifies
to the Public that the price of this fine property on the
bank of Loch Lomond (which cod the proprietor more than
50,0(101.), 's reduced to one-third of its actual value; and if this
inadequate sum be not offered innnedi itelv he is instructed to raze
this splendid edifice to the ground, and sell the Materials, with the
costly Contents of the Castle, by public Auction.
London, August sth. •
Upon the above Advertisement, which appears in an " Edin.
burgh Paper,'' the Editor makes the fol7owing commentary :
" CASTLE OF TULLICIIEWEN, LOCH LOMOND.—We perceive,
with great regret, that although the upset price of this unique pro-
perty was considerably reduced, it was not sold at the auction
mart in London. The proprietor his announced in our columns
this day, that unless it is sold very speedily, he intends, through
the instrumentality of Mr. Robins, to raze this fine specimen of pure
architectural form to the ground—to sell all the materials, together
with the classic and valuable appety'ages throughout the castle, by
public auction, and then let the Lands upon a building speculation.
In the name of Scotland, our dear native c untry, let us raise our
voice', against such a sacrilege!! Let us hope that among the wealthy
merchants of Glasgow end Edinhurgh may la,t found many who
would deplore such an CVin.., and have it in their power to avert it :
as a speculation only, with a view to re-sell it at convenience, it pro-
mises a speedy retirn of 10,000/.. gain! What a painfull reflection
will be vi.i!ed on all those who the means to rescue this fine
property from its thee dened annihilation, and yet hesitate to par.
chase it at one-third •f its value? Surely Scotland can find a hun-
dred a.pirauts for fame and fottme, and both are united in this
purcha,e!"
