THE CONVICT CUMIINC.--Two petitions—the one
from the magistrates, and the other from a, number of
respectable inhabitants of Leith— were forwarded to the
Home-office on Saturday last, with reference to the case
of William Cumming, who now lies in Edinburgh gaol,
under sentence of death for the murder of his wife. These
petitions represent that evidence favourable to the pri-
soner bas been discovered since the trial, and upon this
ground they pray for a respite—Scotsmaa.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-llolloway's Pills, an Effectual
Remedy for Gout and Rheumatism.- -Extract of a
letter from Mr. W. Moon, at Messrs. Golwin's, auc-
tioneers, Winchester, dated April 8, 1852. To Professor
Holloway.—Sir,—l beg to inform you that for years I
was a sufferer from chronic rheumatism, and often laid
uy for weeks together, unaole to move. I was attended
by the most eminent surgeons here, but obtained no
relief ; and was iuduced to go into our county hospital.
The medical treatment there, however, being of no
avail, I left, and conunenced using your pills, which, I
am happy to say, in a short time effected a perfect cure,
and enabled me to resume my employment.—Sold by all
druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
241, Strand, London,
