[ADTERTISEMENT.]—An extraordinary Case of
Bilious Attack, Indigestion, and Flatulency Cured by
_
Holloway's Pills.—Khairatee Khan, a native merch!"
of Patna, in the East Indies 'suffered for years from bile,
indigestion, and flatuency, and, although he consulted the
most eminent surgeons of the province, yet he derived no
benefit from their treatment, but gradually became more
debilitated. Having one day a severer attack than usual
of these dreaded maladies, he determined to try Holloway's
Pills, and this fine medicine which has obtained such
high repute throughout the world, very soon reinstated
him in perfect health, and, in gratitude for the benefit, he
desires this wonderful cure to be made public. Sold by
all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
244, Strand, London.

THE CHARTEE-HOUSE.—The Archbishop of York
has been elected one of the Governors of the Charter-house, in the
room of the late Viscount Melbourne.

UPPINGHAM.—A rumour of a most painful nature
is afloat in this town, implicating the character and honesty of A
Rutland gentleman, who enjoys a high position in society. Disclo-
sures of a grave nature, affecting the integrity of his conduct as
director of a savings' bank, are likely to be made in a few days --
Lincolnshire Herald.

THE CHOLERA AT EDINBURGH.—The disease still
continues to linger amongst us, although the new eases occurring are
very few.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.—Yesterday the
police succeeded in capturing two men at Bristol, both of whom are
from the neighbourhood of Birmingham, on a charge of uttering 101.
Bank of England notes. They gave their names as George West-
ood and William Stevenson. It is expected that other charges will
be preferred against them on their re-examination, which stands fixed
for Saturday.

TRANSMISSION OF THE QUEEN'S SPEECH BY TELE-
GRAYM—Yesterday the Queen's Speech was transmitted from the
central station at Lothbury to all the secondary telegraph centres
with greater rapidity and precision than on the occasion of the
previous session, when its transmission for the first time
was a matter more of experiment than practice. The
Speech, 'which consists of 834 words, or about 70 words less
than that of last sesion, was streamed off continuously to Liverpool,
Manchester, York, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Derby, and
other places, at the rate of 181,6 words a minute, and was thus posted
in the various subscription-rooms and exchanges in considerably
less than one hour after its delivery in the House of Lords. Last
year verbatim copies of it were printed and distributed, but this
practice was discontinued. The Speech would be in Dublin, Guern-
sey, Jersey, and Parts the same:evening.
The Queen's Speech was yesterday telegraphed to
Stamford for this paper. Her Majesty left the House of Lords about
half-past two, and at a quarter to three the clerks at Lothbury com-
menced telegraphing thence to Ely, where were posted three clerks
expressly for the purpose of telegraphing on to Stamford. There is
direct electric commurication between this place and London; but
the superintendent of the company (Mr. Raymond) thought it better
to receive the message at Ely and send It on, than trust for perfect
accuracy to 118 miles of wires. The Speech was communicated
letter by letter, and the whole was received in Stamford in less than
an hour and a half.—Stamford Mercury.
IMPORTATION OF CORN.—Yesterday, first day of
February, a virtual repeal of the duties on foreign corn took place,
the existing sliding or fluctuating scale of duties being entirely abo-
lished, and in their stead, the following, merely nominal and fixed
duties, being leviable on all sorts of meal, flour, and
grain imported into this eountry, viz.: By virtue of the
Act 9 and 10 Victoria, cap. 23, from and after the
Ist day of February, 1849, the following duties shall
be charged, viz.: Upon all wheat, barley, bere or bigg, oats,
rye, peas, and beans, the quarter, Is. ; upon all wheat meal and
flour, barley meal, oatmeal, rye meal, and flour, pea meal and beat
meal, the cwt., 4j% d. ; buck wheat, the quarter, Is. ; buck wheat
meal, the cwt„ 4%c1. ; maize or Indian corn, the quarter, Is.; In-
(Han corn meal, the cwt„ 4;4d.
THE CHIEF BAILIFFSHIP OF THE CITY SHERIFFS
COURT.—The Court of Aldermen and Common Council have ap-
pointed an early day this month to appoint a high bailiff of the new
court for small debts—the New " Sheriffs' Court." It will be remem-
bered that Mr. Wood, the son of ex-Alderman Wood, was the first
chief bailiff elected, but was suspended. The Curt had also decided
that being an attorney shall not be a necessary qualification, and that
the chief bailiff shall, when necessary, personally enforce the process
of the Court. The judge of the Court has recommended Mr. Gore,
the second candidate on the first election, the applicant having been
many years principal officer of the Old Sheriffs' Court, and not pro-
vided for by the new Act, whilst all other officers of the Court of
Requests received compensation.
