•INNEFORD'S PURE FLUID MAGNESIA
Has been for many years sanctioned by the most eminent
ot the medical profession, as an excellent remedy for
ACIDITIES, HEARTBURN, HEADACHE, GOUT, AND

As a Mild Aperient, it is admirably adapted for Delicate Females
particulary during Pregnancy ; and it prevents the food of infants
irom turning sour during digestion. Combined with the

ACIDULATED LEMON SYRUP,

it forms an Effervescing Aperient Draught, which is highly agreeable
end efficacious. _

furl ESSRS. ALLSOPP & SONS' PALE OR
I_7 BITTER ALES have been unquestionably vouched, by the
most eminent scientific and medical men of the day, to be ' a very
agreeable and efficient tonic, as a general beverage both for the inva-
lid and the robust; and as tending, from the pure and wholesome
nature of the ingredients employed, the moderate proportion of
alcohol present, and the very considerable quantity of aromatic
anodyne bitter derived from hops alone, which they contain, to pre-
serve the tone and vigour of the stomach, and to conduce to the
restoration of that organ when in a state cf weakness, debility, or
irritability."
In all cases in which Malt Liquors are suitable, nose meet the de-
sired effect more certainly, none are prescribed with more confidence
by the Faculty. " The careful manner iu which the fermentation is
conducted, causes them to assimilate to Foreign Wines more than
the ordinary ales of this country ; and on this account they do not
occasion that acidity of stomach created by the less perfectly fer-
mented ales." " These Bitter Beers differ from all other prepara-
tions of malt, in containing a smaller amount of extractive matter,
thus being less viscid and saccharine, and consequently more easy of
digestion. They resemble, indeed, from their lightness, a s\ "ins of
Malt rather than an ordinary fermented infusion ; and it is very sa-
tisf ketory to find that a beverage of such general consumption is en-
tirely free from every kind of impurity." . . _

ALLSOPP'S PALE or BITTER ALE may be obtained in Casks
of 18 Gallon. and upwards from the Brewery, Burton-on-Trent;
and from the undermentioned Branch Establishments
LONDON, at 81, King William-street, City;

• MANCHESTER, at Dude-place;
DUDLEY, at Burnt Tree ;
GLASGOW, at 115, St. Vincent-street;
DUBLIN, at Ulster Chambers, Dame-street;
BIRMINGHAM, at Market-hall;
At either of which places a list of respectable parties who supply the
Beer in Bottles (and also in Casks at the same prices as from the
Brewery), may at any time
.be seen.

CONTINUOUS ELECTRIC LIGHT AND THE
MANUFACTURE OF COLOURS.

It would appear that the electric light which has been
dazzling and bewildering both the scientific and the
business world for the last quarter of a century, is on
the eve of being made applicable to the uses of every-
day life. The great fact that a light more continuous,
more steady, and more brilliant, than any previously
obtained from the galvanic battery process, was exhi-
bited in Palace-yard on Thursday night, is generally
known, for it excited a lively interest in a large body
of spectators, amongst whom were the members of par-
liament who attended the first re-assembling of the
legislature on that evening. But it is not known to
the world that it is asserted this light can be main-
tained continuously and is absolutely costless—nay, that
its production is accomplished by a process, originating
with Dr. Jos. J. W. Watson, which converts the ele-
ments employed in that process into valuable market-
able commodities, superseding by their cheapness and
their perfection all similar elements known amongst
chemists and colour manufacturers. This is the great
secret of the new light, as applicable to every-day
life—it costs nothing ! We are assured of this fact
in a publication just issued by Mr. Watson' entitled
" A few Remarks on the Present State and Prospects
of Electrical Illumination." He therein freely acknow-
ledges the credit due to the Rev. Mr. N. J. Callan, Mr.
Smee, Professor Daniel, and others, for their various
improvements in the form and mode of action of the
galvanic battery, and claims for himself only the merit of
discoveries in the elements of transmutation, and the ap-
plication of the forces to practical and valuable uses.
Such discoveries are, however, the grounds on which a
true reputation may rest, for the doctrine of practical
uses in a doctrine universally recognised. Mr. Watson
says in his pamphlet, that by the employment of only
five substAnces in his batteries, he is able to transform
them into one hundred productive commodities, not by
any subsequent mixing, but as the positive result of the
electricity in the battery which generates the light—so
that the process of that generation multiplies elements
sold as colours, and the light itself is costless. It would
seem, in fact, to be a colour manufactory, with the con-
tinuous electric light, as an ordinary effect of the pro-
cess. The substance forming the colours are declared
also to be of the first-rate quality and endurance, so
that here is a great revolution in the colour manufac-
tories as well as in the cost of the electric light. These
discoveries are of such importance that we would not
hatily pronounce a judgment. As the battery factory is
established at Wandsworth, and other public exhibitions
tof
will, no doubt, take place, we shall be content with this
notice for the present, promising further attention tolie

ACCIDENT AT THE ROYAL OLYMPIC THEATRE.—On
Thursday night the audience at this theatre were much
alarmed by a very serious accident which happened to
one of the performers. The pantomime of Queen Nab
was being played, when one of the characters, the Sprite,
unfortunately slipped from a rope, fell with great violence
on the stage, and broke his arm in two places. He was,
of course, removed instantly to the surgery of Mr.
Walker, where every attention was paid to the case,
and he is going on favourably,
