`ll) dud it necessary to caution the Public, and especially Shippers
of their Aies to the Ci lonies, aga nst trauds committed by parties In
selling spurious Ales for those of Messrs. Allsopp and sons
Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS have felt compelled by the extent
to which this disgraceful practice has seen carried, to proceed in
several cases by obtaining injunctions from the Court of Chancery,
and have ultimately been driven to prosecute criminally for the coin-
mission of this offence. They beg to call attention to the Case of
the QUEEN V. GRAY and Gostax, in which Lard Campt ell sentenced
the parties charged to " Twelve Months' Imprisonment, with Bard
Labour."—Vide " Times" and "Morning Advertiser," of the 18th
May.
Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS will thank all persons having rea-
son to doubt the genuineness of any article sold under their name,
to send them the earliest information, in order that immediate steps
may be taken for prosecuting the parties.
Messrs. ALL • OPP and SONS w.II he happy to famish the names
of respectable houses, where a supply of their Ales may be depended
on es genuine from the Brewery.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - Her Majesty's Royal Letters
Patent, for valuable and extraordinary improvements in
the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-
course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the dis-
tances of objects viewed through them—of great impor-
tance to the army, navy, and others. Messrs. S. and B.
Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
Observe—opposite the York Hotel.—These telescopes pos-
sess such extraordinary powers that some 34 inches, with
an extra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons,
Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same tele-
scope can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 12 to 14 miles.
They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly.—The Royal Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable,
newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket
glass the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen
and known ltc mile distant ; they answer every purpose
on the race-course, and at the opera-houses, country sce-
nery, and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They
are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power ; an object can be clearly seen from 10 to 12 miles
distant. Newly-invented Spectacles ; im nediately the 3
are placed before extremely imperfect 'Vision, every
object becomes clear and distinct ; the most aged, de-
fective eight is brought to its youthful, natural, and ori-
ginal state. Deafness—New Discovery—The Organic Vi
brator, an extraordinary powerful, small, newly-invented
instrument, for Deafness, entirely different from all others,
to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or pro-
bably ever can be, produced. Being of the same
colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it enables -deaf
persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies • the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the
ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assistance
that possibly could be desired.--39, Albemarleltreet, Pic-
cadilly, Observe, opposite the York Hotel,

Lord FINGALL presented a petition from the in-
habitants of the county of the town of Drogheda, em-
bodying a full statement of marine casualties for the last
four and a half years, and praying for the most efficient
and impartial Government survey of that dangerous coast,
in order that a harbour of refuse be constructed in the
most judicious position.
CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTE LAW.
In reply to Lord LYNDHURST,
The LORD CHANCELLOR did not intend to in
troduce any bills this session founded upon the reports
of the commissioners for the consolidation of the statute
law, but the reports would be printed, in order that they
might be considered during the recess, but next session
he would propose certain bills grounded on the reports
with the view of their passing into law.

TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION BILL.

In answer to Lord ST. LEONARDS,

The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was the inten-
tion of the Government to withdraw for the present
session the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill. The reason
for taking this course was the difficulty which would
arise in considering this bill, without having before them
the whole question of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. He,
however, meant to go on with the Divorce Bill, which
could be easiiy dealt with separately, and which, if
passed, would effect a very necessary and much-desired
improvement in the existing law.
