fIUXLEY'S PARISIAN SHIRTS.-
There is but one reason to be assigned for the difficulty
experienced by gentlemen in being fitted with Shirts. It is the im-
perect rules hitherto applied to Shirt making. This has led many
gentlemen to suppose the diftivaity to arise from some peculiar for-
mation of the neck or chest. Such opinions are most erroneous. It
is essential that a Shirt should set with ease and comfort, the front
remaining smooth with every change of position. H. and Co -
respectfully solicit inspection, and feel confident of giving satisfac-
tion to every customer. HUXLEY'S REGISTERED BLURT
COLLAR is guaranteed to fit the neck without a crease. As the
most liberal wages are pild to the shirt hands, superior wprk can at
all times be relied upon.—lluxley and Company's Parisian Shirt

without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-

The authors continue to be consulted daily on all diseases of the

and exces.. Their successful treatment being based upon upwards

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 74 par mille, which, at the English Mint price of
3Z 17s. 1041 per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.34; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short boing 25 :324, it follows that gold is 0.06 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the
exchange at llamburgh on London at short being 13.14
it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in Liam-
burgh than in Loudon.

NORWICH, TUESDA.T.—Yesterday afternoon the con-
demned convict Rush was visited by the whole of his
family of nine children. They arrived at the Castle be-
tween two and three o'clock, and were accompanied by
Mr. James Rush, of Wymondham, brother of the con
viol, and Mr. Semis, the brother of the late Mrs. Rush.
The Governor conducted them to the cell in which the
convict lies. When Mr. Pinson announced to the con-
vict that his family had arrived Rush for a moment or
two buried his face in his hands, and seemed to be
deeply affected. Having regained somewhat of his
usual composure, he said " Let them be admitted ;"
and the next minute the whole of the nine children
were in the presence of their unhappy parent. The
scene is described as being most heartrending, both
parent and children giving way to the wildest pa-
roxysms of grief. They spoke little upon family affairs.
The convict with intense earnestness called upon God to
witness his innocence of the foul crimes imputed to him,
and with many prayers recommended his children, espe-
cially the younger ones, to the protecting care of the
Almighty. The interview lasted upwards of two hours,
and as it was understood that this was to be the parting
visit, its close was most harrowing. Parent and chil-
dren embraced each other, and gave vent to the loudest
lamentations. At length the children of the unhappy
man left him, and after indulging for some moments in
grief, he fell upon his knees, and was engaged for a long
time in earnest prayer. A cheque for 401. has just been
given up by Rush to Mr. Pinson, the governor of the
Castle, under very curious circumstances. It will be
recollected that in the course of the trial Mr. John
Cann, solicitor and clerk to the magistrates at Wy-
mondham, produced certain papers and books which
he found at Potash-farm, on going there after the
apprehension of Rush. Amongst these was a pocket-
book which contained certain entries relative to
Rush's business, and also a few memoranda, &c., on slips
of paper. There was also a cheque in it drawn in favour
of Rush for 401. Immediately on the pocket-book being
produced in court Rush asked permission to inspect it,
and as the judge assented it was Immediately handed up
to him. After detaining it some few moments he re-
quested that he might be allowed to have it in his pos-
session until the following morning. The counsel for
the prosecution objected to this, whereupon Rush handed
back the book to Mr. Cann. No examination of the
book was made when it came from the hands of the pri-
soner, but on the following day Mr. John Cann dis-
covered that the cheque had been abstracted. His sus-
picions immediately fell on the prisoner Rush; indeed,
Mr. Cann felt •onvinced that nobody else could
have taken it, the book, with others, having
been placed in a strong chest locked up while
it remained at Mr. Cann's house. Nothing was done
in the matter until after the close of the trial, when
Mt. Pinson, the Governor of the Castle, was requested
to sound the convict on the subject. When Mr. Pinson
first put the question to him, Rush said, " No doubt
that fellow Cann has got it—why don't you ask him?
he knows all about it." Day after day passed; similar
questions were put to the convict on the subject, only,
however, to elicit the same reply, that Cann knew all
about it, and that if they wanted any information about
it, they had better ask him. " It's of no use asking me
anything," said Rush, " I tell you I have not got it, and
don't know anything about it. No doubt that fellow
Cann has taken it." On Friday last Mr. Durrant, a highly
respectable solicitor of Norwich, visited the Castle, and
in the presence of the governor saw Rush on the sub-
ject of the missing cheque. Rush fenced for a long
time, and at length said, " Well, suppose I do know any-
thing of it, what then?" It was urged upon him that
as he had improperly obtained possession of it, he ought
to give it up._He said, " No, I don't want to trouble my-
self about it. I don't know anything about it. You had
better ask John Cann." Mr. Durrant pressed him very
closely, and at length Bush said, " Well, suppose it
should be found, what would become of it?" Mr. Pinson,
the Governor, replied that, under the circumstances, he
had no doubt the Crown would order it to be handed
over' to the convict's family. Rush, after musing a
few moments, said, " Well, Mr. Pinson, if you really
think it will be given to my children, perhaps I might
be able to tell you something about it. You will find
it in the lining of my hat." The hat was immedi-
ately produced, and the cheque was found carefully
placed under the lining in the crown. During the
few moments Rush had possession of the book in court
he managed to abstract the document, unseen by any
one, although every eye was turned upon him. On
being convicted, he was very particular about his hat,
and manifested considerable anxiety about it before he
left the dock.

The family of the convict have been ejected from
Felmingham•farm under the notice of ejectment some
time since served. They still remain at Potash, but only
upon sufferance. There is some talk of pulling down
Potash•farm, and building another house upon its site,
to b,. called, of course, by a different name.
Mrs. Jermy and Eliza Chestney, both of whom are
still at Stanfield-hall, are going on favourably; indeed,
the latter has almost completely recovered.
