BEAUTIFUL TEETH.
ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL
DENTIFRICE.

A WIIITE POWDER compounded of the choicest and most re-
cherche ingredients of the Oriental herbal. It extirpates all tartar-
ens adhesions to the teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to
the enamelled surface. Its anti-septic and anti-scorbutic properties
exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence: they arrest the
further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of
the Gums, arid cause them to assume the brightness and colour indi-
cative of perfect soundness ; while, by confirming their adhesion to
the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh zest to appetite,
by perpetuating effective and complete mastication.
The Proprietors of this 1 )entifrice pledge themselves that its effi-
cacy in preserving and embellishing the TEETH, far surpasses any-
thing of the kind ever yet offered to the public, and has, in conse-
quence, obtained its selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court,
and Royal Family ef.Great Britaim'and the Sovereigns and Nobility
throughout Europe.—Price 2s. 9d. per box.
CAUTION.—To protect the public from fraud, the Hon. Commis-
sioners have directed the Proprietors' name and address thus,
A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Ilatton-garden," to be engraved on
tho Government stamp, which is affixed on each box.

...ca.- One half the world are desolately Single, and the other
.appcsing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and irdscalculated hopes em-

of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
•omprosiag hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
ma broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
tad social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour andjusticedensand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

FINANCIAL REFORM.
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.
In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that wo do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an-
other ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling
value and universal import as mast prove, In the fullest sense of'the
term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may
be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated
business system, will readily show. Possessing large establishments
in most of the principal towns in Great Itritain, our concentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we.are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are'de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon
original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain
figures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as
have been seldom. if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
" Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
price list will testify to some extent :

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, Ara= 24.
Moser. Taylor and Bright's circular states—As we anti.
cipated in our last circular, the supplies of foreign grain to this
port have begun to fall off; the extension of the period of
blockaded ports to the 30th was announced too late for opera-
tions on any scale being practicable for furnishing an extra and
sudden supply for this country, and although more wheat will
find its way hither than was at one time anticipated, yet we
may be quite sure that the trade will for some time be free from
those sudden and large supplies which we have heretofore hid
occasion to report. The transactions since this day se'anight,
though on the aggregate to a fair extent, have not had that
life about them which the business prior to Tuesday led us to
expect ; in point of fact, the advance was too rapid and impor-
tant to last without a check, and there is certainly less buoyancy
at the close than commencement of the week ; should the
blockade however last, there is no doubt whatever, that demand
exceeding supply will again push up value. We speak of wheat
mainly, which is the great article of consumption in this
district, and it certainly is in no excess as regards
stocks in warehouse. We had for to• day's market a
large supply of wheat from our own farmers, who
evince every disposition to make the most of the probable
interruption to foreign supplies, and asked extravagant prices.
Our millers were tolerably free buyers at is to 2s per quarter
under last week's rates. Not much foreign wheat offering, and
no disposition being evidenced on the part of holders to give
way in price, the business done was really limited. More tran-
sactions in malting barley ; grinding qualities also attract
more attention. Beans maintain their late advance, but can-
not again be quoted dearer. Oats and peas are fully as dear.
Without arrivals of linseed, and having but a moderate stock in
granary, an advance of is per quarter has been obtainable on
the sales effected s cakes have made a decided though sudden
start from 21 7s 6d to 8! per ton, at which latter price some
sales have been made for delivery July to December, both in-
clusive. A little rapeseed has been sold at 29/ 103, but this is
an extreme price. No rape cakes afloat, and our quotations
fully established. A fair business passing in bones, and arrivals
meet ready buyers at full prices.

of 8,248 quarters of Indian corn, 2,348 barrels of Indian corn ,
meal, and 5,729 barrels of flour. The quantities of wheat are
nearly balanced. The general business during the past week
has been on a small scale, and, excepting oats and oatmeal,
which have supported their value, the turn has been in buyers'
favour. The weather has been unseasonable, but it is con-
sidered not to have materially affected the agricultural pros-
pects. We had a fair attendance of town and country millers
at our market to-day, and there. was a steady moderate demand
for wheat, at a reduction of 2d to 3d per bushel on the prices
of last Tuesday. Flour sold at a decline of 6d to is per barrel.
Oats and oatmeal brought full prices. Barley, beans, and
peas maintained late rates. There was a fair demand for In-
dian corn, at similar prices to those obtained this day se'nnight.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, April 24.
(Sittings in Bsynco.)
PRITCHITT v., SMART.

Mr. Sergeant BILES said had to apply to tlaeir
Lordships for a rule to show cause why the plaintiff
should not produce to the defendant a broker's book.
This was an application under the Stock jobbing Act
(7th George 11., cap. 8). It appeared from the affidavits
that this was an action on a bill of exchange, and that
the plaintiff was the indorsee and a stock-broker in the
eity of London. The defendant was acceptor as be-
tween the drawer and acceptor of the accommodation
bill. The Bth section of the Stock jobbing Act prohibits
the buying and selling stock of which the parties are not
actually possessed at the time of the contract, and also
imposes a penalty o.t 1001. on the broker negotiating such
a contract. Then it provided that every broker should
keep a book, which should be called the broker's book,
in which he was to enter all contracts and agreements
that he made, to the intent that such broker should
from time to time produce the same book or register.
The COURT said it was not pretended that the de-
fendant had any equitable interest in the book; and,
innsmuch as its production would subject the party to
penalties, the rule ought not to be granted. The refusal
of a bill of discovery is equity in an analogous case was
conclusive against the summary interference of a court
of law, which ought not to interfere in such a case, but
in support of a supposed equitable right, and to save
the party from going into equity. The motion failed
upon principle in every respect, and must therefore be
refused.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Mr. Richard Crossley, of 80lt-court, Fleet-street, ad-
vertising agent, addressed Alderman Lawrence, and said
that a young maa had been brought up at this court on
Saturday last for obtaining certain moneys under false
pretences, by representing himself as an advertising
agent connected with the British Banner and the Patriot
❑ewspapers. When charged he gave his name as John
Crossley although his real name was John Cohen, and
his (applicant's) object was, as a report of the case had
appeared on Monday, to obviate the injury which might
result to him if uncontradicted.
Alderman LAWRENCE said, he had no doubt the press
would take notice of what Mr. Crossley had said. It
was known on Saturday that the prisoner had not given
his real name, but they could sot then get at his right
one.
Mr. Crossley ;then thanked the magistrate and with-
drew.

from
The Rev. Cornelius Griffin, who resides at the above
place, near Stratford-upon-Avon, stated that a few weeks
back his attention was attracted by an advertisement
inserted in a morning newspaper, headed "Clerical
Preferment," and in the following words :—" A gen-
tleman bas the power of nominating to a highly
honourable and distinguished appointment as chap-
lain, a clergyman, member of the Established Church.
The duties would be communications with the
highest personages in the realm, and it would be
useless for any one to apply who does not possess the
necessary qualifications. Letters, pre-paid, may be
addressed, confidentially, to Patrick Hay at Benson's
newspaper office,
9, Parliament-street." Upon which
he wrote a letter inquiring the particulars, and received
a letter, signed "P. Hay,"
and doted 24th of March,
No. 2, Cannon-row, Westminster, stating that the ap-
aposianlrytament was that of one of her Majesty's chaplains it

the negotiator. Some further correspondence took
place, and the complainant was induced to part with up-
wards of 1001. on the promise that his appointment
should be gazetted immediately, which of course never
was done. The prisoner Alves was charged with having
subsequently endeavoured to obtain money from Mr.
Griffin, under the pretext of prosecuting Hay for the
fraud practised upon the complainant, and upon another
clergyman under similar circumstances.
The prisoners were ordered to put in bail, themselves
in the sum of 500/. and two sureties in 2501. each, to
answer the charge in a week.
MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
The court was like a fair, in consequence of the at-
tendance of persons to give information against the
woman rrho has for some time past gone about obtaining
goods and getting into debt in various quarters under the
assumed title of the Countess of Carlisle.
From the inquiries of the police, it appears that the
prisoner has passed under various names in this country
and in Ireland, of. which latter place she is a native.
From letters found in her possession, it would seem that
her maiden name was Dawson, and that she was the
daughter of Captain Dawson, of the 100th Foot. The
prisoner is supposed to have several sons, as a copy of
verses was found in her possession, addressed to her
youngest son, Irwin Gilldea, who had recently been sent
out to India. The name, however, she is best known by
is Wetherelt. It was in that name she took apartments
at Mr. Wake's house, 32, St. Martin-street, where she
conducted herself with such profligacy, that it was found
necessary to give her notice to quit, through the medium
of Mr. W. 11. Austin, solicitor, of St. Martin-street. In
reply to the notice to quit, that gentleman read the fol-
lowing epistle:—
"The Countess of Carlisle scarcely considers a strange
vulgar production, which she has received purporting to
come from Mr. W. H. Austin, worthy of

Immediately after sending this letter the prisoner dis-
appeared from her lodgings with a table cloth and a
sheet, which she disposed of to a woman in Tottenham-
court-road for hall-a-crown. In consequence of the
publicity which the case has obtained, a lady came for-
ward and informed the police that the prisoner had
passed by the name of Madame Carvina, and
that she had obtained 700 L from her by
artful representations. The prisoner had ordered a
large number of pairs of stays from a West-end
tradesman named Marriott, which she had ordered to
be sent to Thomas 'a Hotel, addressed to the Countess
of Carlisle. Two tradesmen in Tottenham-court-road,
one a jeweller and the other a fancy article dealer, had
received considerable orders from the person in the name
of the Countess of Carlisle. These parties, however,
would not part with any of their goods, and the
prisoner then gave directions that the property should
be sent to the liqrl of Carlisle's residence, who would, as
she said, immediately pay for them. Numerous cases
of a similar kind were discovered. In the course of
their inquiries the police ascertained that the prisoner
is the same woman who made her way into the Palace
a few years ago, when her language and demeanour
were so inexplicable that it was presumed she was
under some mental delusion. She was taken to Bow-
street, and being pronounced out of her mind by several
medical gentlemen, she was sent to the County Lunatic
Asylum, where she remained for about two years.
Police-constable Boyce having obtained some important
information from Lord Carlisle, informed the sitting ma-
gistrate, Mr. Bingham, that he was prepared with the
evidence against the prisoner Wetherelt.
The witnesses having been called into court,
Mr. Bnecipasi said, with regard to the charge pre-
ferred against Mrs. Wetherelt, ho had recently received
several letters which fully satisfied him the prisoner was
an insane person at the present moment. The prisoner
had been for a long while in the county asylum in con-
finement as a lunatic. Under these circumstances he did
not think it would be right to expose the prisoner to an
aggravation of her disorder by ordering her to be exa-
mined again in a public court. He should order her to
he given up to the authorities of St. Martin's, who would
take care of her as an insane person.
Police-constable Boyce said he had seen Lord Carlisle,
and his Lordship had informed hies that the prisoner
had obtained 401. by means of forgery when she was in
Ireland, and when ho was Secretary tor Ireland. Ile
was quite willing to come forward and prosecute, as he
was but one of the public in such a case, because he
believed the prisoner was connected with a gang of
swindlers.
Mr. BINGHAM said the evidence of insanity was too

conclusive. It was unlucky the delusion should take
the form it did, but he could not deal with the matter
otherwise than he had stated.
The cabman who bad summoned the prisoner wished
to know what he was to do. He had taken out two
summonses against the Countess at his own expense, he
had been discharged by his master, and now he was
deprived of all chance of getting either his fare or his
expenses.

Mr. BINGHAM said the cabman's case was a very hard
one. He could not assist him out of his difficulty, fur-
ther than by giving him half-a-crown towards his loss.
The proceedings then terminated.
It is a singular circumstance that hardly one of the
persons who have been duped had the slightest suspicion
of the prisoner's sanity.

EARLY PEASE.—On Tuesday last we saw in a
private garden in the southern vicinity of the city, a plot
of early pease, standing several inches out of the ground,
and almost every plabt in bloom, in which condition
they had been for ten days previously. The garden, it
is to be remarked, has a southern exposure, and high
walls protect its produce from the north and east. Here,
in spite of the late frosts and cold biting winds, no da:
roage has been done to the larger or smaller fruit.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Ministerial organ, the Patrie, contains the
following paragraph
" Some serious rumours were circulated at the Na-

tional Assembly to-day.---Aec;diniT(TWE;te-fette-rs
addressed to representatives, two divisions of the army
of the Alpd are on their march towards the fron-
tier of Savoy. The general commanding one of these
divisions, who is now in Paris on private business, has
received orders to proceed immediately to head-
quarters."

- The same journal states that the Government had
received a telegraphic dispatch, announcing the
evacuation of Pesth by the Austrians.
The Moniteur publishes the following :—" The
Government has this evening received a telegraphic
dispatch from Marseilles, dated the 234 which an-
nounces that the expeditionary fleet left the anchor-
-ground of the islands of 'llYeres yesterday even-
ing. The sea was calm and the weather beautiful."
The Presse publishes the following " communica-
tion " on the subject of the Austro-Sardinian nego-
tiations. It should be remembered, however, that it is
the Austrian account of the matter' and that the
" fi?rgery" department of 'the Austrian Chancery is as
active as it was under the Metternich regime.
" After the 'verification of powers, Marshal Radetzky
and Chevalier Bruck, representing Austria, and General
Dabormida and Chevalier Buoncompagni, the plenipo-
tentiaries of the King of Sardinia, opened the confer-
ences on the 14th inst. The negotiations turn on three
questions—the political, the financial, and the commer-
cial. The first has for its object the re-establishment of
the state of things before the commencement of hostili-
ties; in other words, the territorial possessions estab-
lished by the treaties of 1815, with regard to Italy will
be confirmed and sanctioned anew, so that the Court of
Turin cannot for the future bring forward any preten-
sion either to the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, or to the
duchies of Parma and Modena. This stipulation had
been previously laid down to King Victor Emanuel by
Marshal Radetzky as a sine qua non condition of the
signature of the armistice of Novara. The King having
agreed to it on his word of honour, given to the Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Austrian army, the Sardinian
Plenipotentiaries also admitted it at the opening of the
conferences. The financial question is that which ap-
pears likely to offer the greatest difficulties, without, how-
ever, going the length of creating misunderstandings, as
represented by some ill•informed journals. Ia the inter-
view which took place between King Victor Emanuel
and Marshal Radetzky under the walls of Novara, it was
agreed that the Sardinian Government should reimburse
to Austria the expenses of the war, which the Imperial
Court had been forcibly compelled to carry on in orderto
maintain possession of her Italian provinces. Marshal
Radetzky did not and could not fix the amount, which
could only be done by the Court of Accounts at Vienna.
If our information be correct, the amount claimed by
Austria is 125 millions of Austrian livres, of which
seventy-five are for the first campaign, and fifty for the
second, dating from the period of the conclusion of the
armistice of Milan to the signature of that of Novara:
The Sardinian Plenipotentiaries not being, it is said,
authorised to offer more than sixty millions, Marshal
Radetzky and Chevalier Bruck, before referring the
matter to their Court, have wished to remind King
Victur Emanuel that before Marshal Radetzky con-
sented to suspend his march on Turin, his Majesty had
agreed to the principle of reimbursement of the expenses
which the hostilities of Charles Albert had entailed on
Austria. Chevalier Buoncompagni has been charged to
proceed to Turin, to receive ulterior instructions from
the mouth of his Sovereign:himself. Whatever may be
the reply oftheCabinet of Turin, we are confident that the
Austrian Government will not demand from Xing Victor
Emanuel sacrifices beyond the resources of the Sardinian
Treasury. In our opinion, the amount stated by Austria,
is only a starting' point, to arrive by mutual conces-
sions to an arrangement satisfactory to both parties.
With regard to the commercial question, it is known that
the origin of the rupture between Sardinia and Austria
dates as far back as 1846, when the Impdrial Cabinet,
by imposing an import duty of two florins (five francs)
on Piedmontese wines going into Lombardy, paralysed
the commerce of several of the Piedmontese provinces.
The Court of Turin endeavoured in vain to get this
duty removed, and the correspondence on thraubject
degenerated at length into open war. Austria has now
shown a disposition to settle this cause of dispute by
reducing the duty by one-half, which must be considered
as a fresh pledge of the policy or moderation on which
depends the durable pacification of the Apennine
Peninsula."
