VRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The following testimonlai is another proof of the great efficacy
of this medicine

" Winehmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 185

" Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from
taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you
and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of
nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion,
but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills,
I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
we know of nothing to equal it.
• -

" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
THOMAS PROVINCE,

" To Mr. T. Praut, 229, strand, London.
This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for
correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and is a
pleasant, safe, easy aperient ; they unite the recommendation of a
mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re-
straint of diet or confinement during their use.
Ask for FItAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH, and observe the

The supply of beasts on offer in to-day's market was
very moderate, and of inferior quality. Most breeds were
in fair request, and Monday's advance in the quotations
was well supported. Sheep- the numbers of which were
by no means large—were steady, on former terms. The
primest old Downs sold at 5d per 81bs. The supply was
limited. Pigs moved off steadily, on former terms.
Mitch cows were dull in sale, at from 14/. to 19/. each,

GERMANY.

From the Wurtembery Moniteur we learn that
Hesse-Darmstadt and Electoral Hesse have agreed
not to grant an exequatur to M. Muller-Alelchiors,
lately appointed consul of the United States, that
gentleman, who is a deputy of Hesse-Darmstadt,
having been several times condemned for political
offences. _

_______
The Cologne Gazette states that the Customs
conference has decided upon the institution of
bonding warehouses at the German ports.
Herr Ludolph Camphause was elected deputy to
the Second Chambar for the city of Cologne on the
29th ult., by a very large majority. The honourable
gentleman at once declined the honour paid by his
fellow citizens.

A Berlin journal has the following :—" The
States of Northern Germany do not appear dis-
posed to furnish the funds necessary for the com-
pletion of the works on the fortifications of Ulm
and itastadt. They prefer that the north of Ger-
many should be fortified."

D.RURY-LANE THEATRE.

The novelty of the present week, added to the attrac-
tions of the cirque, and the intelligent dogs and monkies,
has been the introduction of Hengler, the great rope
dancer. He is certainly the very best performer in his
line we ever witnessed. His feats of agility and daring
are really marvellous, and the grace and composure with
which they are performed, entirely relieve the mind of the
spectator of that painful anxiety which sometimes pervades
the nervous system, while contemplating the evolutions
of dangerous acts of dexterity. The American- &Ines-
trians retire from the turf on Saturday afternoon, De-
cember 17th, when they give a morning performance, on
a very grand scale, to the lessee, Mr. E. T. Smith, as a
testimonial to that gentleman, in his joint character of man-
ager and. lessee. Messrs. Hernandez and Eaton Stone, the
directors of the cirque, warmly express their deep sense
of Mr. Smith's liberality as a manager, and his urbanity
as a gentleman ; and, in the most handsome way, pro-
pose not only their own valuable services, but that of the
whole of their company, as a complimentary contribution
o a bal masque for Monday,
Mr. uneTl
to his treasury on the day named.
;laid will equal if not excel all pre-
vious entertainments of the same character. On the Dec. 9, Smith
whi has a
i;
fol-
lowing Monday (boxing
.night) he will produce the pan-
tomime, in the preparation
of which great are
engaged, and in its illustration, it is said, eminent names
in the magic world of pantomime will appear.

THE HONOURABLE ARTILLERY COMPANY.—A testimo-
nial was presented by Capt. Jay, on Wednesday evening,
at a dinner given by the members of the Rifle Corps of
the Hon. Artillery Company. The testimonial consisted
of a silver salver, on which is engraved the arms of the
company, and the following words : "Presented to Capt.
C. W. Jay by his comrades of the Rifle division of the
Honourable Artillery Company, as a mark of their esteem
and respect for his zeal in maintaining the honour and
promoting the welfare of the division, and to his unwearied
attention to the interests of the corps generally, Novem-

Mr. Crewe was, however, unable to state whet, tbl

Mr. CREWE explained that in both cases the Pr,,061

that his child had no chance of election, and the „d° io
being in circumstances that did not warrant iv"

f the 240,0 K The directara have been actuated,
1 king the step referred to, solely by prudential mo-
tives. The preliminary expenses will be small, and
they will be prepared to justify to you their course of
proceeding when they solicit your approbation of the
measure. It would have been most gratifying to the
directors if they could have felt justified in remaining
passive observers of what others are doing in the way of
extensions, but the omission to take at the right moment
the step necessary to maintain your interest, would
be as unwise as it would be to construct injudicious ex-
tensions. The measure which the directors submit is
limited in extent, and they believe that it will lead to
consequences beneficial to the interests of the company.

servant, G. S. HERBERT, Secy.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives, in its
si' ting of Monday, adopted the Public Subsistence
Bill, by which articles of food are authorised to be
imported free of duty. Several amendments had
been brought forward during the discussion, some
of which were adopted, but they made no material
change in the general character of the measure.
The bill was carried by 78 votes. There were no
opposition votes, but nine members abstained from
voting.

CORN EXCHANGE.

BRITISH RAILWAYS.

Fresh up to-day, the receipts of home-grown wheats,
coastwise and by land-carriage, were on a very moderate
scale ; hence, the show of samples was limited. The de-
mand, however, for all kinds, owing to the large arrivals
of flour from New York, both here and at Liverpool, ruled
heavy, and Monday's pikes were barely supported.
Upwards of 17,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come
in this week, and the supply on the market to-day was
good. All kinds sold slowly ; but we have no material
change to notice in the quotations. Floating cargoes were
neglected.
Holders of barley were somewhat firmer than on Mon-
day, but no improvement took place in prices.
There was only a moderate sale of malt, on former terms.
Good old oats were scarce, and the turn dearer. New
qualities moved off slowly, at Monday's decline.
Beans, peas, and flour were dull.

IN RE BROCK.--ASSIGNMENT OF A POLICY.

His Honour gave judgment on a question which had
been raised on a proof of debt in this case. The facts
were these—On the 11th of February, 1852, William
Robert Tanner advanced the bankrupt 2221. on his note
of hand of that date, and the deposit of a policy of
assurance on the life of the bankrupt for 6001. in the
Westminster Life Assurance Office. On the 16th April,
1853, Mr. Tanner, by the hand of Mr. Patten, his attor.
ney, paid the half-year's premium on the above policy,
and then gave the actuary verbal notice that Mr.
Tanner held the policy as equitable mortgagee, au act
of bankruptcy having then been committed, of which
Mr. Tanner had no notice. On the 31st of May, 1853,
Mr. Patten, on behalf of Mr. Tanner, gave a written
notice to the actuary of the equitable deposit, previous
to which the bankrupt had committed an act of bank-
ruptcy by remaining in prison 21 days, of which Mr.
Tanner had notice, through Mr. Patten, his attorney.
The petition for adjudication was dated 6th June last.
The assignees and Mr. Tanner had consented to abide
by the decision of the court on the above facts, as to
whether the policy passed to the assignees, or remained
available security for Mr. Tanner. His Honour held,
on the authority of "Re Waithman " (4 D. and Ch.,
412), that the notice need not be in writing, and that
the subsequent giving of written notice might be any
time before actual bankruptcy-12 and 13 Vic., cap. 106,
s. 125 ; " Parriente v. Pennell " (2, M. and R., 516) ;

ITALY.

The Gazetta Ticinese announces that the Federal
Government has decided that all the military ex-
penses hitherto entailed upon Ticino, in conse-
quence of the Austrian blockade, shall be borne by
the Federal treasury.
At a short distance from Turin there is the Car-
thusian Convent of Collegno, of which the present
Piedmontese Government contemplates the sup-
pression ; and this intention had been lately inti-
mated, somewhat vaguely, to the Superior of the
Convent in a private interview, of his own seeking,
with the Minister of the Interior. The Armonia,
of Turin, a clerical organ, immediately took up the
matter, and gave the public to understand that the
Superior had applied to the French Ambassador
for protection, there being some French subjects
among the brethren ; adding that the French Am-
bassador, in compliance with such application, had
had a conversation on the subject with the Minister
of the Interior, who had declared he had only said
so to the Superior, in order to see how he would
take it. The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 28th,
gives a formal denial to this story, declaring that
there has been no conversation on the subject be-
tween the French Ambassador and the Minister of
the Interior or any other minister.
The Pope has appointed the Duke de Castelvec-
chio to the post of Commander of the Pontifical
Noble Guards.

The Opinione, referring to the reported reconci-
liation
of the two branches of the Bourbon family,
says :
" Louis Napoleon, supported as he is by tho universal
suffrage of the French nation, is stronger than is sup-
posed in the secret council of the Count de Chambord.
It is beyond doubt that the French people will not
exposed themselves to fresh revolutions, in order to
recover the white banner spangled with fleurs de lys.
In this case what event could bring hack the
Count triumphant into France flanked with the Or-
leans ? The foreign armies, who restored Louis
XVIII. to the Tuileries, but assisted with indif-
ference at the expul.ion of Charles X. and Louis
Philippe. The presence of a foreign army on the fron-
tiers of France would be to-day the death-warrant of the
Bourbonian dynasty and the definitive victory of Louis
Napoleon and of the principle he represents."

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The novelty of the present week, added to the attrac-
tions of the cirque, and the intelligent dogs and monkies,
has been the introduction of Hengler, the great rope
dancer. He is certainly the very best performer in his
line we ever witnessed. His feats of agility and daring
are really marvellous, and the grace and composure with
which they are performed, entirely relieve the mind of the
spectator of th at painful anxiety which sometimes pervades
the nervous system, while contemplating the evolutions
of dangerous acts of dexterity. The American eques-
trians retire from the turf on Saturday afternoon, De-
cember 17th, when they give a morning performance, on
a very grand scale, to the lessee, Mr. E. T. Smith, as a
testimonial to that gentleman, in his joint character of man-
ager and lessee. Messrs. Hernandez and Eaton Stone, the
directors of the cirque, warmly express their deep sense
of Mr. Smith's liberality as a manager, and his urbanity
as a gentleman ; and, in the most handsome way, pro-
pose not only their own valuable services, but that of the
whole of their company, as a complimentary contribution
to his treasury on the day named.
Mr. Smith has announced a bal masque for Monday,
Dec. 19, which it is said will equal if not excel all pre-
vious entertainments of the same character. On the fol-
lowing Monday (boxing night) he will produce the pan-
tomime, in the preparation of which great artistes are
engaged, and in its illustration, it is said, eminent names
in the magic world of pantomine will appear.

THE HONOURABLE ARTILLERY COMPANY.—A testimo-
nial was presented by Capt. Jay, on Wednesday evening,
at a dinner given by the members of the Rifle Corps of
the Hon. Artillery Company. The testimonial consisted
of a silver salver on which is enaraved the arms of the
company, and the following word's : "Presented to Capt.
C. W. Jay by his comrades of the Rifle division of the
Honourable Artillery Company, as a mark of their esteem
and respect for his zeal in maintaining the honour and
promoting the welfare of the division, and to his unwearied
attention to the interests of the corps generally, Novem-
ber 30, 1353."

HANOVER.

A letter in the Augsburg Gazette states—" The
political colour of the new Ministry is not as yet
clearly defined. The opinions of the President of the
Council are alone known. The King insists on the
restitution of a part of the domains which have
been, since 1848, transformed into state property.
His Majesty wants to have matters re-established
on the same footing as previously, because the
dotation of the crown is taken from the revenue of
-the clome.nial property. The ministers who ja4oly-
resigned were not of that opinion, and that cir-
cumstance was, in fact, the cause of their resig-
nation."

LAUNCH OF A BRITISH CLIPPER.

--- -
Messrs. James Thompson and Co. launched yesterday
a fine, handsome ship from the yard of Messrs. Beilby
and Perry, at Rotherhithe. Mrs. Lawrence, the wife
of the intended captain of this smart vessel, gave the ship
her name—the Orient, and she ran into the water in
good style, without accident. The Orient is built on the
diagonal principle. Her length between the perpendi-
culars is 189 feet ; extreme breadth, 35 feet ; depth of
hold, 21 feet 6 inches ; and she measures (old method),
1,120 tons ; and has been constructed to carry 1,400
tons cargo. The good ship is intended for the Austra-
lian trade, and will be immediately fitted out by Captain
Lawrence, who is well known for his numerous quick
passages in Teasels under his charge.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives, in its
si ting of Monday, adopted the Public Subsistence
Bill, by which articles of food are authorised to be
imported free of duty. Several amendments had
been brought forward during the discussion, some
of which were adopted, but they made no material
change in the general character of the measure.
The bill was carried by 78 votes. There were no
opposition votes, but nine members abstained from
voting.

LAUNCH OF THE 80-GIIN SCREW-SHIP
MAJESTIC.

The Majestic, originally laid down in 1841 as a ship
of the Vanguard class, but since altered to receive
screw-propeller machinery of 400-horse power, by
Mandalay and Field, was launched at Chatham Royal
Dockyard yesterday, in the presence of some 7,000 or
8,000 persons, Miss Letitia Richards, the second
daughter of the captain superintendent, giving the ship
her pompous name. The Majestic, we believe, is the
first of the 80-gun class that has been appropriated for
screw machinery ; and if she has no better stowage than
the Vanguard, Coliingwood, &c., we cannot expect
much from the Majestic as a screw line-of-battle ship.
The following are her principal dimensions :

Ft. in.
Length over all, from figure-head to tafferel 225 0
Length between the perpendiculars 193 4
Breadth, extreme . 56 10
Breadth, moulded
Depth in hold ...
Burden in tons, old measurement 2566
On the ship being brought up by her anchor, her
floating draught of water was 15 ft. 7 in. forward, and
19 ft. 10i in. aft ; brake in launching, 7-16ths in 160
feet. A considerable number of naval officers from the
ships fitting at Chatham and Sheerness were present,
and officers from the garrison at Chatham.
At one o'clock the Majestic was towed away by the
Adder and Cuckoo, steam-vessels, to Sheerness.
