TESTI MONTALS.

From Joseph Henry Green Esq., F. R.S., one of the Council of the Royal
College of Surgeons, Surgeon to St. Thomas's Hospital, and Professor
of Surgery in the King's Co lege, London.
" I have made trial of Mr. Frank's Solution of ('opaiba, at St. Thomas's
Hospital, in a variety of cases of discharges in the male and female, and
the results warrant my stating, that it is an efficacious remedy, and one
which does not produce the usual unpleasant effects of (opaiba.

From William Hentsch, Esq., No. 3, Fumival's-inn, Holborn, late
House-surgeon to the Free ospital, Greville-street, Hatton-garden.
" My dear Sir,—l have given your Medicine in very many eases of
Gonorrhoea and Gleets, some of which had been many months under
ther treatment, and can hear testimony to its great efficacy. Lhavo
mind it to cure in a much shorter time, and with more benefit to the
general health, than any other mode of treatment I know of; the gene-
rality of cases have been cured within a week from the commencement ot
taking the Medicine, ai,d some of them in less time than that. Have the
goodness to send me another supply. I am, dear Sir, yours, very truly,

From R. W. Meade, Esq. Late Colonel commanding the Rite Brigade in
the Columbian Service, and formerly Captain in his Majesty's 13th
Light Drlgoons.

„
” Sir,—Having retired from active life, I feel a strong repugnance
against appearing before the public in anv character, but my reluctance
has been overcome by a sense of the duty I owe to my fellow beings, and
the gratitude I feel towards you. Having served many years in his Ma-
jesty's Army in India, and subsequent): in the Columbian Forces, under
thegallant, but ill-requited Bolivar, i Contracted in those hot climates a
disease, which has for years inflicted on me the most poignant sufferings ;
since, however, I have been fortunate enough to obtain an introduction
to you, and having used your Solution of Copaiba a few times, I have
been relieved beyond ny• most sanguine expectations, and am now entirely
ree from pain or the obstructions to which I was so many years a victim.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
(Signed) I' It. W. MEADE."

PEACE RESTORED!

Closely beside a dreary wood,
A loyal South Americ General stood,
Awaiting, with his troop, the Indian band,
That came across the burning sand :
In black array, and proud in arms
They came, and soon the clang began ;
The battle raged,—the Spaniards ran,
O'ercome, and left
Their General, of aid bereft,
A prisoner to the foe, exposed to all their arms.
Scarce was the General to the sable Chief
Brought, in the bitterness of grief,
Nothing expecting, but to meet the tomb
When what was his amaze,
To see the Chieftain gaze
Upon his polish'd boots, that shone
By Warren's Black, bright as the ethereal zone;
And, as he wondering survey'd
His face reflected by the Blacking's shade,
He half adored their bloom !
" Are these," he cried, " the men that we
" Have dared to show hostility ?
" Men, with our portrait so sublimely drawn,
" Who do themselves adorn :
" Give me a pair of Boots, let discord cease,
" And deign to smoke with me the Calumet of Peace!"

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of both Grain and Flour this week are again
considerable. Wheat has continued extremely dull in sale
since Monday, and that day's prices are hardly supported.
Barley is rather lower, except for superfine parcels. Beans
and Peas are heavy in sale at last quotations. Good Oats
firmly maintain the terms of Monday. There has been very
little done in the Flour trade this week.

At the evening sitting- on Wednesday a carriage drew
up to the door of the office, from which a lady, about
thirty-five years of age, attired in deep mourning, who was
accompanied by a gentleman, alighted, and, on entering the
office, applied to Mr. CODD, the sitting magistrate, for his
assistance in recovering her daughter, whom she alleged
was forcibly detained at Mrs. Richardson's establishment
for young ladies, at No. 1, Portland-place, Hammersmith.
She stated her name to be Thompson. and said she re-
sided at No. 4, East-place, Lisson-grove, Paddington. Her
husband, by whom she had had two children, a boy and a
girl, died last September. He was a gentleman of fortune,
and had left the bulk of his property between the two.
About twelve months since Miss Sarah Thompson was
placed at the above establishment as a boarder ; but upon
her going that day to remove her, Mrs. Richardson had re-
fused to allow her to do so, or to see her daughter.
Mr. CODD said as the parties were so respectable it
would be better, before he granted a warrant, for some in-
quiry to be made of Mrs. Richardson as to the reasons for
the detention of the child ; and he directed Sergeant Horn,
T 14, to call at her house for that purpose.
Yesterday Sergeant Horn reported to Mr. Codd that on
his accompanying Mrs. Thompson and her friend to Port-
land-place, Mrs:Richardson informed him that the young
lady was no longer under her roof, she having sent her
away subsequently to Mrs. Thompson's calling there. She
then requested to speak to him in private, and on his going
into the pariour•with her, and explaining to her the nature
of Mrs. Thompson's application, she stated that for some
reason or other the children had been taken from the cus-
tody of their mother and placed in different establishments,
and she was directed to act as she had done by Mr. Framp-
ton, the Barrister of Lincoln's Inn, who was their guardian,
and who is at present in Devonshire. On his leaving the
parlour he saw Mrs. Thompson and her friend descend-
ing the stairs in a state of violent excitement, and
exclaiming—" Policeman, I have found my child—
she is secreted at the top of the house." That being at va-
riance with Mrs. Richardson's statement, that she had sent
Miss Thompson away, he immediately proceeded up stairs,
and in an upper room he found the young lady, who is a
most beautiful girl, about twelve years of age. On bringing
Miss Thompson down stairs, a lengthened altercation,
mixed with much recrimination, took place between the two
ladies, which ended in one going into hysterics and the other
fainting. On their recovery he inquired of Miss Thompson
which she would prefer, going home with her mother or
staying with Mrs. Richardson, to which she immediately
replied she preferred stopping with Mrs. Richardson, and
on that lady pledging her word the young lady should not
be removed until Mrs. Thompson had communicated with
Mr. Frampton on the subject, the parties appeared recon-
ciled, and left the house.

Mr. CODD said he was glad an amicable arrangement had
been come to.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A young man, named William Godfrey, was brought be-
fore the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted to
pass a counterfeit halfcrown at the shop of a tobacconist.
The prisoner occasioned a great deal of laughter by the
the matter as well as the manner of his observations.

The tobacconist said that about three weeks ago a per-
son who appeared to me to be the prisoner purchased
three farthings' worth of tobacco, and paid him with a half-
crown which he afterwards found to be bad, and, in his
anger, nailed to tha counter. On Tuesday the prisoner
returned, and asked for just the same quantum of tobacco,
and put down a half-crown which had evidently been made
out of a pewter pot. Determined not to be done out of
2s. 51d. a second time by the same person, the tobacconist
collared his customer, and forthwith introduced him to a
policeman.
The LORD MAYOR—What have you to say to this
double charge ? Prisoner—l never saw the man before
in my life until I turned in to get the tobacco on Tuesday
last, and I'm sure the money I gave him was good, tuft
it had to pass through so many hands, and the officer's
among the rest, that I shouldn't wonder if it turned to
worse than pewter.
The LORD MAYOR—But I am credibly informed you
arc a common thief.

Prisoner—Aye, that's another thing, my Lord. But no-
body can say that lam a smasher. Never. I'd rather go
and decently rob than do so mean and shabby a thing as
awash, and you may depend upon it I wouldn't rob a man
of had money. _ _

The LORD MAYOR—Then what do you pretend that you
are ? Prisoner—l am a shoemaker ; but you see, my
Lord, I had the misfortune to be a bad character, and was
poked into a few ugly places, and your officers take hold of
me whenever they see me, and think they are very clever
because they lay their hands upon a poor devil that was in
trouble.
The LORD MAYOR desired the tobacconist to look at
the prisoner well, and say whether he was the same person
who had received the chancre for the former bad halfcrown?
The tobacconist—l'd wish to see him with his cap on.
Here the prisoner put a )ittle thin covered cap on his
head, and turned his face to the prosecutor with so ludi-
crous an expression as to cause a general burst of laughter.
The LORD MAron—What do you think now ? The
tobacconist—l think he is the man.

Prisoner—God help you. Whatever you may think,
it's plain you'd swear anything. Please you, my Lord, if
he's such a muff as to take bad money he knows how to put
it off again. He can smash upon a smasher, and no mistake.
The tobacconist—He came into my shop the first day
with that cap on his head.
Prisoner—There you're out again. I only had this cap
these few days. You remember that out-and-out south-
wester I bad a short time ago, my Lord ? Well, my tile
flew off along with the chimlies, and trees, and other things,
and I had nothing to cover me till four or five days ago,
when I got this cap at the docks. But everything is against
a man that once gets his four bones into queer street. If
I turn one way, a fellow in blue and buttons says to me,
" You're a returned lag." If I turn another way, a gentle-
man of the same kind says, " I say, what crib are you going
to crack ?" so that I have no chance ; but I don't care
what they say, only let them not say that I am a smasher.
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, we'll see whether Mr. Powell,
the solicitor to the Mint, knows you.

Prisoner—Mr. Powell ! Who is be ? Never beard of
rich a body, upon my honour.—(Laughter.)
Remanded till Saturday.

G UILI)HALL.

Yesterday Thomas Pearce, apprentice to Mr. Bruce, a
music-printer in King's Head-court, Holborn, was brought
before Mr. Alderman HARMER for re-examination, on sus-
picion of having set fire to some music in the parlour, with
the design to destroy the premises, about six o'clock on
Monday morning.
Mr. Alderman HAnMea thought there was not sufficient
cause to commit the prisoner, and discharged him with an
admonition.
