MURRAY'S FLUID MAGNESIA.-
HERBERT MAYO, Esq. has expressed his high
approbation of Murray's Fluid Magnesia as follows :
" I am very ready to allow you to use my name and testi-
mony to the efficacy of your condensed solution of Magnesia.
It is by far the best form in which that medicine has been pre-
pared for use ; the Magnesia being perfectly dissolved in your
preparation never irritates the Stomach, and is not liable to
accumulate in the Bowels, as occasionally happens when the
medicine is taken in the ordinary form. from professional
indications of so much usefulness as this, I think it just not to
withhold my public recommendation, which I have not before
given in favour of any remedy, although I frequently see my
uanae falsely used for this purpose.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

At this house the tragedy of Fazio was performed last
night, for the purpose of introducing on the London stage
a Miss Maywood, who we understand comes from America,
where she has performed only eight or nine times. Miss
Maywood's person is slender—her features somewhat pro-
minent, her hair a jet black, and her eye large and expres-
sive—altogether her appearance is tragic. During the
first act she appeared timid and reserved, but in the second
she gave unquestionable proofs of talents for tragic repre-
sentation, which, if they do not entitle her to a place in the
first rank, indicate a justness of conception, and a grace
and propriety of delineation, which may, with study and
attention, enable her, at no distant period, to attain
I very prominent place among the actresses of the
present day. She should be careful at first not to over-
strain her lungs, for when she did so last night she exposed
her weakness, and more than once inclined us to suspect
that in heavier and more difficult characters she would
break down. This, however, is a fault to which she does
not seem much addicted. Several good parts might be
pointed out—the manner in which she addressed the
servant, and sent for her husband—the effect produced by
the tolling of the bell, which announced that her husband's
hour had come,—but her best hit decidedly was
when she exclaimed " Now I have widowed her as she has
widowed me," which drew forth thunders of applause from
every part of the house. On the whole she was received
with favour, and at the fall of the curtain was loudly called
for to receive that which a London audience, on first trial,
is not backward to award—a judgment in her favour.
She was badly supported by the actors and actresses.
Cooper's Fazio was but very so so, and Miss Grove's
Aldebella was roc?ived with manifest disapprobation.
King, O'Neil and The Happy Man followed, in both of
which Power was as usual most powerful.

BALLOONING EXTRAORDINARY.—An adver-
tisement, issued by a troop of itinerant performers now
exhibiting in Blackburn, announces that on a specified
night a certain " Mr. Hughes will ascend on his head on
the top of
.a magnificent balloon—never attempted by any
other person 1" It is not stated to what height the adven-
turous Hughes will ascend, but underneath the announce-
ment is a wood-cut, representing him in his perilous posi-
tion soaring away into the regions of air. This it must be
admitted is quite as rational and a much more daring feat
than the proposed tiger ascent from Vauxhall, interdicted
last autumn by the Magistrates of Union-hall police-office.
Perhaps the proprietors of the " Royal property" may
take the hilit, if they can find any one who is fool enough
to risk his neck for the gratification of cockney curiosity,
or " for the advancement of science," for which latter
purpose these aerial trips have professedly been undertaken
since the days of poor Mr. Cocking.

BLOOMSBURY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Str,—Having observed in The Sun of yesterday that the
Bloomsbury affair has not yet been brought to a close, I
feel much surprised at the manner (not to say ungentle-
manly) in which Mr. Craven is showing off. Why not go
into the case at OTICO if he can, and not keep parties in
suspense? By way of nudging him on. I will (with your
permission) ask him three questions:-Ist, Why not ob-
ject to the horse before he started? 2d, Would he not re-
ceive Mr. Risdale's 501. had Bloomsbury not won ? 3d,
Would be have made any objection to Mr. Ridsdale paying
his forfeit ? From what we can gather here in Yorkshire,
it would be better for persons holding official situations not
to speak at random—temperance is a blessing.

Under the above designation a Society has been formed, in
connexion with the New Zealand La-11 Company, and consist-
ing exclusively of heads of families and others, intending to
settle permanently in New Zealand, on lands purchased from
the said Company.
The object of this Society is to promote co-operation, in the
numerous measures of preparation requisite for establishing a
prosperous settlement.
The Society already numbers a considerable body of gentle-
men, who have determined to emigrate with their families and
property. Others, who may entertain similar views, are invited
to join them. Qualification, of a member of the Society, the
purchase of one hundred acres of land ; of a member of the
Committee, five hundred acres, including part of the first town.
The greater part of the purchase-money to be ex”ended by the
Company on the emigration of the purchasers, their families,
and servants. Members admitted by ballot only.
The Colony will depart in a body during August next, so as
to reach their destination about Midsummer (in the southern
hemisphere), when the site of the first town will have been de-
termined and prepared for their reception, by a preliminary ex-
pedition now on its way to New Zealand.
The Committee meets daily at. the offices of the New Zealand
Land Company, No. 1, Adam-street, Adelphi, where further
information may be obtained, on application (if by letter, post-
paid), to the Chairman of the Society.

WEDNESDAY, June 5, at Twelve, by order of the Executors.
KINGSGATE CASTLE, and other FREEHOLD PRO-
PERTY, in the Isle of Thanet. As a marine residence the
Castle at Kingsgate is one of the most distinguished in this
fertile Island. It is surrounded by its own pasture land, about
12 Acres, and is placed with a gentle rise on the magnificent
cliff, commanding a full view of the passing shipping and the
French coast. The internal arrangements are judiciously
planned, and consist of a handsome entrance hall, on the one
side of which are a library, 23ft. by Gin. by 13ft. Gin., and
two smaller rooms ; and on the other side an anti-room ; a
dining room 25ft. by 14ft., a small library, watercloset, &c.
On the floors over are five bedchambers. The quadrangle
(the outer walls being of brick and flint, luxuriantly clothed
with ivy) is approached by a carriage drive into an open space,
94 feet by 85 feet, having on its sides lead and slated-roof
buildings, comprising five bedchambers, kitchen, a double and
two single coach houses, two five-stall stables, loose boxes,
laundry, and abundant domestic offices in very good repair,
with a capital supply of pure spring water, and a tank holding
25 tuns of rain water. A round tower and a square tower fitted
up as view rooms. The estate is separated from the public
road by good fei,ces and plantations, has an extensive frontage
for building on, and is one mile distant from Broadstairs, and
three from Margate and Ramsgate.
Lot 2. The Freehold Digby Inn, with detached rooms, sta-
bling, outbuildings, bowling-green, and appurtenances, at pre-
sent and for the last 30 years in the occupation of Richard Hill,
who is under notice to quit at Michaelmas.
Lot 3. The noble Doric Stone Portico, 4ft. long and 10ft.
wide, with the brick building annexed, originally the centre
part of Lord 'Holland's mansion, also the 'Freehold Ground
upon which it stands, with the garden planted with choice
standard and wall trees. The Portico being a costly and cor.
rect piece of architecture, is applicable to the mansion of any
Nobleman, or for any public building. The other portion of '
the property suggests to the speculative mind many ideas.

The following are among the advantages of this Society.
Ist, The security of an ample Assurance Fund, besides the
subscribed Capital.

2dly, For young and middle-aged lives the Lowest Rates of
Premiums that entitle the assured to participate in the profits.
idly, Three-fourths of the profits divided every fifth year
among those who have been assured four years on the equal
scale of premiums. The bonus declared in 1834 averaged 16/.
per cent. on the premiums then paid ; and the bonus awarded
geti is equal to all, per cent. on the pre-
le last five years.

4thly. Assurers may have the bonus applied to increase the
sums assured, or in reduction of future premiums, either for
the remainder of life, or for the next five years only.
sthly, Policies granted without any charge to the assured be-
yond the stamp duty.
6thly, An option given to Assurers on the increasing scale of
rates after the lapse of any number of years to commute the fu-
ture increasing premium by an equivalen equal annual one for
the remainder of life, and thereafter to participate in the profits.
The same advantages are appiicable to assurers on the degreas-
ing scale of rates.

Policies on the lives of parties dying by suicide, duel-
ling, or by the hands of justice, not void as respects the inte-
rests of persons to whom they may hays been legally assigned.
Bthly, No extra charge for residence in any part of Europe,
nor for proceeding to any port (in a decked, sailing, or steam
vessel) between Brest and the Elbe. Licenses are granted to
go to any part of the world upon terms proportionate to the risks.
9thly, Whole-life Policies on the equal scale of premium pur-
chaseable after four years. Lapsed Policies revived on favour-
able terms to the assured.
All assurances effected on the equal seale of rates during the
year 1839 will participate in the next division of profits.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.

GRAND SAILING MATCH.
The first grand below-bridge sailing match of the season
will take place on. Thursday next, amongst the yachts be-
longing to members of this distinguished club. The match
is in honour of her Majesty's birth-day, and the prize a
very superb cup and cover. The following are the con-
tending yachts :
Yachts. Tons. Owners. Colours.
20 T. E. Snook and Red, with
Widgeon SJ. H. Cassel, Esqrs. S white star.
Success
Queen Victoria 23 T. Smith, Esq.
Fortune
The distance, as usual, will be to start from off Green-
wich Hospital, round the flag-boat below Gravesend, and
back to Greenwich. The Widgeon is the favourite, and
in some instances has been taken ;or choice against the
field. The Fortune is a new boat, anti. her sailing powers
are unknown. The Royal Sovereign steamer has been
engaged to accompany the match.

We hope the Ministry will lay seriously to heart
the responsibilities which rest upon them : the Sovereign
and the people look to them for protection ; and it is now
placed beyond all controversy that the Queen earnestly
desires to promote the welfare of the people through a
Reforming Administration. But if Lord Melb-urne is
languidly indifferent, or disinclined to press upon the
Tories; if Lord J. Russell persists in indulging Tory
sympathies, and gulls the people with police schemes, and
with the unqualified harshness of the Poor-law system,
doing nothing to relieve the wants and to allay rust
of great bodies of the people—the restored blithe distrust
of great bodies of the people—the restored Ministry must
again give way, despite the hearty support of the Crown ;
and, throllgh the lapse or treachery of Liberal leaders,
both people and Crown will be coerced under a Tory
despotism.—Oxford Chronicle.
Lusus NATUILIE.—A poor woman of the name
of Palmer, residing at Chalvey, was delivered on the 29th
ult., of a male child, presenting the fallowing pecularitics :
.—The arras were enlarged from the shoulders downwards
very considerably ; there were no regular elbow joints, but
imperfect ones, admitting of very partial motion. The
hands came off at an acute angle, very short, with no mo-
tion at the wrist-joints, and each having only four fingers ;
but on the left hand there appeared, in the pace of a
thumb, a small ball about the size of a pea, attached by a
little string a skin. The child died the day following
its birth.— Windsor Express.

several large sun. fish having been observed about the island
of Boffin, some of the islanders put off in their boats, under
