METROPOLITAN LANDLORDS' PRO-
TECTION OFFICE, 7, Nicholas-lane, City.

Established to prevent the constant frauds on landlords, by giving
them information in relation to tenants—lnquiry into their charac-
ters—and affording them assistance en the most moderate terms, in
4.1.1 cases of d ilicnity, at fixed charges. It has often been a mater
if surprise that in this vast metropolis and its suburbs, containing
Louse property estimated at an annual rental of 9,700,0001., no plan
has yet been devised to protect the owners from fraudulent and
designing persons who offer themselves as-tenants. To remedy this
Ovll the above office has been formed. A complete register of every
bad tenant in London and its suburbs is in course of corapletion. Any
landlord, by paying a small annual subscription, may refer to this
register, or have inquiries made by the office free of charge.
Prospectuses and further information may be had at the Offices,
Or by written application to the manager, Mr. EDWARD HUNT,
Nicholas-lane, City rnrof the Solicitors, Messrs. Golden, 6, Gray's
Inn-place, Gray's Inn.

IZow tell me what Overcoats Moses hare got—
Are they fit for you: season, I pray?

G RIM S TON E'S AROMATIC
REGENERATOR.
- -

If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural styply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist cr druggist, or perfumer, an lis.
bottle of Grlmstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in;his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grlmstone, Merchant,
Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, limier the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, en receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. 81., or 125., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The 11s, size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its many vii tues, as thousands can prove, are published
In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
you will remember the thousands. of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause

—the initymal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Qatar ,ct, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of
oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by 'Terries, Esq., to
Mr. William Grianstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time In canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the
possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that /nay be resorted to
witil confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness
occurring in families, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all,
that no question can be raised <f its importance to every householder
in the kingdom. From among nemerous testimonials, the following
is respectfully submitted:—
" To Mr. Thomas Pr mit, 229, Strand, London.

"No. 5, Davld-street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842.

"Sir,—l have much satishctisn in communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of
Health ; and I feel it ix, i ustice to state, that in the course of many
years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results
at once so salutary ani efficient in the relief of the system from
redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there-
fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means lont,
wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe-
cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource iii an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
Frampton's Piz more generally known and appreciated.—l am,
pectl ully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."

THE 1851 Exposmorr.--The gentlemen who az.
managing this matter must be car, fol, or they will raise
a fooling against the project which, notwithstanding the
excellence of the idea itser, ti.d the machinery which
has been cleverly put into motion, will yet wreck it. It
is the su!-,j, et of con:iderable dissatisfaction, very gene-
rally expressed, that appintuvnts at large salaries are
being made, and that the contract for the e:•ection of the
temporary building is actually entered into with a builder,
without the concurrence or knowledge of the public, or
a recognition of their right to be represented in the
matter. Our caution is meant as a friendly one, and we
hope it will be taken in time.—Builder.

A conversazione, designed to further the interests
of this institution, was held on Tuesday evening, at the
Clarence Hotel, Aldersgate, almost directly opposite
the rooms of the society. The friends of the Princi-
pality, of bath sexes, assembled in considerable
numbers. After partaking of tea and coffee, they
adjourned to a spacious room, where, at half past
seven, the chair was taken by G. C. Lewis, Esq.,
M.P., and Under-Secretary of Sta'e, who was sup-
ported by Mr. J. S. Knowles (the dramatist), the
Rev. Mr. Jones, and other gentlemen.
The CUAIRMAN observed that the institution had
originated in a desire to provide a place of intellec-
tual meeting for persons coming from IVales, who
might otherwise be exposed to the temptations of the
metropolis; and although its commencement had been
unambitious, be trusted it would combine the ener-
gies of a great number of persons for a common and
most beneficial end. The object was to afford in-
struction by means of the reading of publications, and
the holding of weekly meetings for discussion on literary
and other interesting topics; and it was hoped that
a foundation would thus be laid for establishing a
useful library, open to all the members. Such an
institution required no rhetoric to recommend it to
cordial support. It was obvious that to young men
coining from the Principality it must prove exceed.
ingly advantageous.—(Hear.) With regard to the
cultivation of the Welsh language, without intending
to disparage that ancient tongue, he must say, that
although it comprised many poems of undoubted anti-
quity, it was not at the present time what could be pro-
perly termed a literary language. It was not the lan-
guage of the current literature of the day—of the
laws, or of government. No foreigner acquired it
with a view of studying Welsh literature, or of con-
versing in Welsh. In saying this he was' far from
wishing to wound the sensibilities of any Welsh
gentleman whose patriotism was bound up with the
language of his native country. The Welsh language
was, in truth, in the same position as many other lan-
guages in We British Isles and on the continent of
Europe. They all knew that the Gaelic was spoken in the
highlands and islands of Scotland and in some parts of
Ireland., In Belgium the upper classes for the most
part spoke French, while the Flemish tongue was the
language of the people in one part of Belgium, and
the Walloon in another part. In Malta the language
of the Government and of the upper classes of society
was Italian, whereas the lower classes spoke an
Arabic dialect—a relic of the Saracenic occupa-
tion of that island. His object in making these
allusions was to show that the case of the
Welsh people was by no means a solitary one.
Wherever such a state of things existed, however, it
constituted a barrier between different classes of so-
ciety, and those who spoke what he would term the
non-literary language exclusively were necessarily
impeded in their career in life. However great
might be their industry or their abilities, they were,
to a certain extent, kept in that class of society in
which they were born.—(Hear, hear.) Whilst he
could not advocate the extinction of the Welsh lan-
guage, he must say, with great deference to the
assembly, that he considered it a misfortune to any
person to have been educated exclusively in Welsh,
and to possess no knowledge of the language of the
current literature, of the laws, and of government.
The diffusion of the English language would conduce
to the welfare of those who acquired it, would tend
to unite the different classes of society, and to throw
down the barriers which separated the rich and the
poor, and would give to all, whatever might be their
station in life, a fair chance of realising their own
best interests. He hoped that whenever natives of
Wales who resided in London visited the Principality
they would take occasion to urge upon those of their
countrymen with whom they came in contact the
advantage of cultivating, as far as practicable, the
English language, and of assisting in the removal of
the barrier to success created by an exclusive ac-
quaintance with the Welsh.—(Cheers.)
The SECRETARY then read a report setting forth
the advantages presented by the institution in terms
substantially the same as those employed by the
Chairman.

The Rev. Mr. JONES, incumbent of All Saints,
Rotherhithe, moved the adoption of the report in the
usual form, and remarked that although the lower
classes in Wales were undoubtedly deficient in gene-
ral literature, they were nearly all excellent divines,
and were well acquainted with the Bible.
Mr. J. S. KNOWLES hoped that Welshmen would
not forget the advice of the Chairman, not to love
their language too well —(Hear, hear.) Having
travelled in Wales, he had found the pef,ple incon-
veniently prejudiced in favour of their own language.
—(Laughter.) He admitted that the prejudice was
a patriotic one. but he could desire in future the
English language might always be taught in con-
junction with the Welsh.—(Elear, hear.) Ile re-
joiced to see the establishment of that institution.
Next in importance to the love of the Creator was the
duty of cultivating the faculties which his boundless
munificence had bestowed.—(Cheers.)
The resolution was then put and unanimously
adopted.
Mr. FERGUSON moved the following:—" That this
meeting approves of the efforts made by the com-
mittee of management to extend the usefulness of the
society, and fully concurs in recommending that ap •
plication be made to Welshmen generally, soliciting
their cooperation in carrying out so desirable an
object."
Mr. EDWARDS, in seconding the resolution, re-
marked that it was almost impossible to cure the evil
pointed out by the Chairman by extinguishing the
Welsh language, which would probably last for
hundreds of years, and that the most effectual mode
of promoting the eventual diffusion of the English
tongue, which he admitted to be an object of great
importance, was to afford instruction in Welsh on a
more liberal and extended scale, by which means the
tone of the Welsh mind would be more assimilated to
that of the English mind, and a general desire for
improvement would be created.

The resolution was then adapted.
Other speeches, partly in Welsh, followed, and the
occasion proved on the whole a most interesting one.

THE DEFALCATION IN THE ROCHDALE SAVINGS'
BANK.—It has been discovered that Mr. Haworth, the
deceased actuary, did enter the gross amounts of all
deposits made in a rough cash book, from which the
various accounts were afterwards transferred, some to
the regular banking books and others to his own private
records. This rough cash-book never went before the
auditors, but its discovery will materially assist the com-
mittee of investigation which is now sitting at the bank,
as the presumption is that the pass-books of the deposi-
tors, which are being daily sent in, will agree with it in
every particular. Mr. Tidd Pratt was expected in
Rochdale this (Thursday) morning, when ho will give
his opinion as to the legal liability of the trustees to
make up the deficiency. It is generally believed that
they ti r.ot legally liable under the circumstances,
since the Act was materially modified in 1834. Ba that
as it may, however, it is just to them to state that, as a
body, they feel very strongly upon the matter, many having
expressed their desire to come forward boldly and meet
the deficiency at once. We believe, therefore, that the
depositors need be under no apprehension of ultimate
loss. We may repeat that the defalcation, as far as can
be at present ascertained, is about 37,0001,; while the
assets of Mr. Haworth are—a life policy for 3,0001.; the
Castleton mill, probably worth 14,0001.; a security bond
of 500/.; and cottage property of the anuual value
of 150/.

SINGULAR ACCIDRNT.—A casualty of a most sin-
gular and melancholy nature occurred on Thursday
evening to one of the crew of the ship Rienzi, bound for
Valparaiso. The Rienzi had been lying in the Birken-
head Docks, taking in a cargo of coal and firebricks.
As she became laden she began to draw too much water,
and was hauled into the river, where she was moored
midway between Liverpool and the Cheshire shore, op-
posite to the Seacombe slip, to receive the residue of her
cargo. About a quarter past six o'clock, on the evening
of the day mentioned, the second mate, a fine-built,
good-hearted young fellow, about 25 years of age, whose
name, we believe, is Do Brasey, accompanied the tug
steamer Queen to superintend the operation of putting
on board a quantity of stowage and taking in provisions.
The night was somewhat rough. De Brasey stood upon
the paddle-box of the steamer as she lay alongside the
ship, and held a lantern containing a lighted candle.
Suddenly the light disappeared, and it was found that
the unfortunate young man had fallen from the paddle-
box into the water, between the ship and the steamer.
The machinery of the latter had been thrown out of
gear, but the paddle-wheels were in motion, occasioned
by the action of the water upon them, as it was blowing
fresh and the title flowing strongly at the time. Active
mewarres were iturneiliately resorted to by the hands o❑
board to render assistance to their unfortunate shipmate.
It. wars found that he had got jammed between the end
of the floats of the whorl and the side of the steamer.
It was a c,:insiderable time before he could be extricated,
and that not until some of the wood work had boon cut
away, at which time ho was quite de id. The deceased
was dreadfully crushed about the legs and lower part of
th,, trunk._ Liverpool Courier.
