10YER'S NEC T AR!
►J Beware of the many base attempts to deceive the Public by
unprincipled persons rettling SOYER and CO.'S registered bottles
with spurious and pernicious drinks, under the above title.
ALEXIS SOYER and CO., sole Proprietors, caution the Public
that none is genuine but what is stamped with the name of " SOYER
and CO., 40, Rupert-street," on the side of the Cork, easily read
through the neck of the bottle, to counterfeit which is felony.

THE BEST APERIENT and ANTIBILIOUS
3IEDICINE for general use is FRAMPTON'S PILL OF
lIEALTII, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by
gentle relaxation, without griping or pr,,stration of strength. They
remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are
hijily grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, re-
lieve langour and depression of spirits ; while to those of full habit;
and free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heavi-
ness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will
not fail to be appreciated.

This medicine° has for many years received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society ; and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout,
with permission to publish it, and if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author :
" To Mr. Front, 229, Strand, London.
" Ileavitree, Exeter, April 24, 1844.
" Sta,—l feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli-
cited testimony to the excellence of your Frampten's Pill of Health,'
which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very su;eerior ge-
neral medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having re-
course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She
has recetnmended them extensively, and in one instance in
which site induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the
first box herself, they hive proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think
that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medi-
cines before the public of equal value as a ' friend in need ;' certainly
none possessed of superior claims. I shall be happy on all occasions
to give them my individual recommendation; and am, Sir,
" Your obedient servant,

ments in the treatment of urethral diseases, showing that the unne-

stricture is. without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of
surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill
of a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, ly

‘l7 lIAT'S YOUR OPINION of MOSES ?
My opinion of 3tos2s' is this,
That their warehouse has nothing amiss;
For many a year have I tried
The garments by Moses' supplied,
And finding how business is dune,
I can rezommend Moses ntui Son.
I've a bill on my file you must know,
Which is dated Just twelve years sic),
When first I was tempted to try
The garments of Moses' supply,
And ever since then I've been ono
To support Messrs. Moses and Son;
For during the whole of the term,
Not a fault have I seen in the firm.
The various promises made
Have a I been fulfilled in their trade,
And the more I have known of the mart,
•
The more have I acted my part.
In furnishing stylish attire,
Messrs. Moses are all I desire;
And I've equally found them outdo,
In make and material too.
These praises will also apply
To the hoots and the shoes that you buy;
Nor can I say less of the shop,
With prime Paris hats for the top ;
And the hosiery shows what the trade is,
And the beautiful shawls for the ladies;
There's nothing, in fact, that you buy,
But ranks the proprietors high.
The whole of the houses, as one,
Do credit to Moses and ion.
Then look at what savings are made
By the very low price that is paid.
The strictest economy here
Is constantly found to appear.
In all things the warehouse discloses
What scarcely a stranger supposes,
And that's my opinion of Moses.

Caution.—E. Moses and Son regret having to guard the public
against imposition; but having heard that the antradeasnan-iike
alsehood of being connected with them, or " It is the same concern,"

they beg to state that they have no connexion with any other house
In or out of London, except their Branch Establishments, 36, Far-
gate, Sheffield ; and 19, Thornton's-buildings, Bradford, Yorkshire;
and those who require cheap and genuine clothing. &e.. should call

one half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questiontthly contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern-
later the latter. ,The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution ar.d worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret nu-
comprosin: hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
BIRMINGHAM, MAY 17.—At Gloucester and Worcester
mar kets, on the 12th, the wheat trade ruled dull, with the turn
in faiour of the buyer, but at no quotable variation from that
day se'nnight. The supply of English wheat was short. In
barley rather more doing. Oats 41 to Is per quarter higher.
English beans scarce, and foreign were held for some advance.
Peas neglected. During the present week we have had a fair
business doing in wheat at fully the rates previously obtain-
able. Barley only taken in retail. Very few oats offering,
and these held for is per quarter more money. Beans sd
per quarter higher, but this latter rise is submitted to with
reluctance on all except fine qualities. No transactions re-
ported in peas. At this day's market the supply of English
wheat was again limited, and an improvement of about Is
per quarter was realised on fine qualities, whilst secondary
descriptions and foreign sold more freely. Very few sales
were effected in barley. Oats Is per quarter higher. Eng-
lish beans sold at a similar rise, and on foreign the turn was
in favour of the seller. Peas without inquiry.
Gt..% scow, IllAy 16.—We continue to have light supplies
from all quarters. About 650 quarters of wheat, 585 quarters
of barley, 60 quarters of peas, and 1,970 sacks of deur reached
Grangemouth from abroad. A moderate business occurred
during the week at the currencies of last Wednesday. 'f his
day's market was thinly attended. Wheat was in fair demand
for consumption at the full terms of last week; barrel flour
rather dearer. Barley and rye met a better inquiry, and was
the turn in sellers' favour. Oats and oatmeal have to be
be written 6d to Is higher per boll and load respectively. Beans
tid dearer per boll ; peas held at the extreme rates of this day
se'nnight. Indian corn and meal unaltered.
13as3irot.. MAT 17.—At this day's market 'the supplies of
English wheat, and the arrivals of foreign having been only
moderate, there was a better inquiry and a better tone in the
trade generally, and foreign parcels as well as English were
firmly held at fully previous prices—via., English new, 4')s to
48s per imperial quarter ; foreign white, 4as to 52s per 4801bs ;
foreign red, fine qualities, 45s to 475; toreign red, ordinary
qualities, 413 to 445; foreign hard, 36s to 395. For flour
there was slow sale at a further decline of fully is a sack,
English seconds selling at 31s to 333 per sack ; American and
sweet, 23s to 2is per barrel. Really fine malting barley
brought late prices, and good grinding qualities were scarce,
and in demand ; English malting sold at 30s to 35s per
imperial quarter; English and foreign grinding, 21s to 24s
per 40,dbs. Oats were about 6d per quarter dearer. Devon
and Welsh selling at 16s to 17s per imperial quarter. Irish
white, 20s to 21 per 32ilbs ; Irish black, lis to lis 6d per
imperial quarter. Foreign none. _ _ _

COURT OF COMMON COUN'2IL

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of
business.
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN THE RIVER THAMES
A report was brought up from the Thames
Navigation and Port of London Committee for
sealing a deed relative to laying down the electric
telegraph in the river Thames. It stated that the
committee had tak,n int.) consideration the applica-
tion of Messrs. -Blunt, civil engineers, for permission
to lay down an electric telegraph in the river Thames
to communicate with a coast line telegraph. That as
the committee are of opinion the proposal for laying
down the lines was of public and national importance
Ulu were disinclined to prohibit or embarrass the
undertaking, and therefore did not object to its being
carried into effect, but did not authorize it
so as to incur any responsibility, leaving Messrs.
Blunt to lay down lines at their own risk, they
undertaking to do no damage either to the public or
to individuals, rnd
required so to do, and to remove any work that shall
be found injurious. to stop all further works when
The report was agreed to, and the City seal was set
to the conditions prescribed by the City Solicitor.
THE ELECTION ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
The report of the Freedom Committee was brought
up, together with the Election Act Amendment Bill,
which the Court was upwards of five hours occupied
in discussing.
The Bill was ultimately agreed to.
Several amendments were proposed, but the only
one of importance carried was, " That the qualification
for a candidate for the
office of a common councilman
be the same is that of an elector." It is calculated
that the adoption of such a principle will very much
improve the quality of the Court.

NAVAL ' LLIGENCE.
NM
PORTSMOUTH, Tau R MAI%
—The naval force at
present disposable for service in Canada consists of :
The Cherokee steam vessel, 750 tone, mounting
two 68-pounders, and carrying 1 lieutenant, 1 assis-
tant-surgeon, 1 clerk, and 25 men and other officers;
The Mohawk, 175 tons, Penetanguishine, mounting
two 18-pounders, and carrying 1 lieutenant, 1 assis-
tant-surgeon, 1 clerk, and 25 men and officers;
And the Minos, 450 tons, Port Colorne, Lak Erie
(laid up), mounting two 24-pounders, and carrying 1
gunner and three men.
In the dockyard at Kingston are large quantities
of valuable machinery, stores, gunboats, and a bar-
rack capable of accommodating from 600 to 800 men,
the whole in charge of an acting storekeeper and his
clerk. This force (including artificers, engineers,
stokers, and seamen, amounting to about 60 indi-
viduals) was reduced to its present state in 1843, and
is intended, we presume, to form a nucleus for any
increase which circumstances might render necessary.
The idea suggested by a contemporary of sending a
battalion of marines to that country is a good one ;
it is very difficult to obtain, and still more difficult to
keep, seamen on those waters.
The Apollo troop-ship, Commander James Raw-
storne, arrived last evening after sunset from
Gibraltar. She is to come into the harbour as soon
as the weather moderates.
The Grecian, 16, Commander Tindal, sailed early
this morning, to proceed to Plymouth to be paid off.
As the wind has been strong from south and south-
west ever since she sailed, she cannot have got
through the Needles, but must have come to in
Yarmouth-roads.
It is a somewhat curious item of steam-vessel sta-
tistics, at a period when test upon test as to the
merits of paddle and screw are being tried, that all
the screw vessels upon the home station belonging
to the navy are on the " sick list."
The steam-tug seized yesterday on suspicion of be-
ing employed in smugglinglso half• ankers of foreign
spirits was named the Royal Charter, not the Peter
Rolt although the property of the gentleman of that
name.' She had been taken by the men apprehended
in her without the knowledge of the superintendent of
Rolt's works.
Another magnificent structure of masonry has been
added to those which already adorn this dockyard.
This is a newly completed ship-dock opening into the
steam basin at the entrance to the steam factory, the
work also of Mr. Peter colt. The dock has been
finished and clean swept within the past week, and
will be ready for use on the caisson being fitted.
The dimensions of this dock are as follow :—Length
on the coping, 300 feet; width ditto, 90 feet; length
on the bottom of the dock, 260 feet; width ditto, BS
feet. The structure is faced with the finest stone; it
is the largest dock yet constructed, and will conse-
quently be able to take in the largest ship of modern
build afloat.

Wind—S.W., fresh gales and hazy weather.
WooLwicu, MAY 17.—The Stromboli steam-sloop,
Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, was taken out
of dock yesterday morning at halt-past eight o'clock,
the bolt havirg been got out of one of Kingston's valves,
into which it had fallen. Commodore Henry Eden,
on receiving orders on the previous day to have the
Stromboli taken into dock to be made ready for sea
with the least
upon her, and they worked in relays during the whole
possible delay, had workmen placed
night, to enable her to be taken out at an early hour
in the morning, at high water, and the gallant Com-
modore, in order to expedite her departure fur Green-
hithe, gave instructions that the Monkey steam•vessel
should take her is tow, and that she should also set
her own sails while her steam was getting up, during
her progress down the river. By these excellent ar-
rangements it was expected she would reach Green•
hithe, and he able to leave that place with the North
Star in tow for the North Sea, about twelve o'clock
yesterday, cne day earlier than was expected when it
was ascertained that the Stromboli would have to be
taken into dock at Woolwich.
The Gladiator steam-frigate left Woolwich yester-
day afternoon for Devonport and Pembroke, under
the charge of Mr. Laen.

robbery, refused to work, and the guard sent him on
board the Warrior convict-ship, in charge of the
sentry. Mr. Allan, one of the guards on duty at the
ship, expostulated with the convict on the impropriety
of his conduct, when he immediately took from under
his clothes an African oak trenail, and struck him a
very severe blow on the head, and in a moment after-
wards attempted to strike Mr. Masterman on the
.
head, but he observed his motion to injure and
warded off the blow by raising his arm, which is
considerably hurt. The sentry immediately went
down to the prisoner, and prevented him from com-
mitting any further violence, which he threatened to
Allen was
do if the sentry had not been there. Mr.
assisted home, and is still unable to resume his duties.
Mr. Masterman, superintendent of the convict-ship,
has reported the case to the authorities at the head
of the convict department.

SBIZURE or AN ILLICIT DisTILLEEL—Ye s terd ay,
fr,)ns information received, Mr. John Worrall, Mr. John
Canning, and Mr. Thomas Cressfield, officers of Inland
Revenue, proceeded to a house, No. 4, Smith's place,
Hackney-road, and, having gained admission, in a back
room they found a large copper still, set in brickwork,
in full operation, with spirit running from the worm at
the time. A large quantity of spirits prepared for send-
ing out was also found on the premises, of a very un-
usually high strength, being GO per cent. over proof, and
molasses wash fermenting for the purpose of continuing
the operation. Besides these articles, there were the
usual fittings and apparatus used in illicit distillation,
and capable of carrying on an extensive trade. A van
was procured, and the seizure was conveyed to the Inland
Revenue warehouse in Hord-street...

[ADTERTisaIiENT.]—A most Miraculous Cure of
a Bad Leg of Sixty Years' duration by Holloway's Ointment
and Pills.—Mr. Barker, of 5, Graham's
-place, Drypool, at the
age of 18, had a breaking out on one of his legs, which ulti-
mately formed into an ulcerous sore, and increased in severity
until he was 80 years old, when it entirely took away his
power of walking; at last, after seeking relief in vain for so
many years, he had recourse to Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, and these invaluable Medicines have cured him so com-
pletely, that he is now enabled to walk as well as most 'nen of
50 years of age.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Hollo-
way's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
THE SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY.
—The May meeting of the members of this society,
and of the competitors for the prizes awarded by the
judges, took place yesterday in the Surrey Zoological
Gardens. The meeting was a numerous one, and the
specimens exhibittd of flowers were of a first-rate
character ; perhaps, better than at any previous show
of the society. he roses were particularly fine, both
in the colours of the flowers and the sire of them.
The pelargoniums were also of the highest class. A
great number of medals were awarded. The winner of
the large gold Victoria medal, for the best collection
of miscellaneous plants, was Mr. Cole ; of the gold
Adelaide medal, Mr. Bruce. In class 2, the gold Ade-
laide medals were won by Messrs. Pamplin and Sons,

AVOIDING A PARISIL—In Huddersfield, seventy-
five members have taken an eighty-acre field for spade
cultivation. Whenever any members are out of work
they receive a ticket for six.or twelve days' work, and
are thus
.prevented going on the parish. There are three
such soctelies iu the town.
