J) R. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE
Removed from 71, Long-acre to Mr. Front's, 229, Strand,

Loudon.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands aro suffering the privation
of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause
so prevalent as that of wo. ms in the human bcdy, and which Is so
frequently overlooked or improperly treated, from either prejudice
or mistake It is, therefore; of importance that every person
should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which
are—disagr4eable odour of the breath, fevered tongue,- particular
heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and
paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, frequent itching of the
nose,an unequal state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the
bowels also, pale and emaciated countenance, and at other times the
face will be flushed, griping pains, a short, dry cough, great thirst,
vomiting, starlings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent
pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of inclination to take ex-
ercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c. &c. Theae are 'once of the
general symptoms of being afflicted with worms; adults as well as
children are subject thereto. •Youth or age may with the utmost
safety have recourse to this old-established medicine, which is
adopted by numerous families as a general medicine, particularly in
spring and autumn. . _

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
George Alexander Collie, Bermondsey-square, was
again brought up b..fore Sir James Duke, charged
with stealing a number of shares in the Friesland
Gas-light Company, embezzling various sums of
money, and making use of a life policy, the property
of his employer, Mr. George OgIN Great Winchester-
street, solicitor ; and John Ab'raltaihs, Charlotte-
street, Caledonian road, Islington, with receiving the
shares and policy, knowing them to be stolen.
After hearing further evidence, Sir JAMES DUKE
said there was nothing touching Abrahams, and
therefore he was discharged. The Magistrate re-
manded the other defendant until to-morrow, to con-
sider what course ought to be pursued.
LAMBETH.

Thomas Stevens, William M•Donnell, Ann Plumber,
and Catherine Hill, who have been remanded on a
charge of drugging and robbing a gentleman named
Stoner, of about 14!. in gold and silver, and a valu-
able gold watch and chain, were again brought up.
From the testimony of the prosecutor, and a num-
ber of witnesses, it appeared that on the night of
Wednesday week Mr. Steller, while passing along the
Dover-road, on his way home, was seiz d by both the
female prisoners, and dragged int) a small house in
Sussex-place. Here they insisted upon his standing
something to drink ; and in the hope of being able to
get quietly out of their hands, be gave them
two shillings. In doing this he had un-
fortunately to take out his purse, and the
prisoners, on observing it, insisted upon his stop-
ping to have part of the drink, and in fact one of
them kept her back against the door whilst the other
went for some liquor. On the return of the latter,
the prosecutor drank part of some liquor, and from
that moment he became quite unconscious of whit
passed until the following morning, between six and
seven o'clock, when he found himself in a wretched
apartment on the ground floor, with the door open,
and nearly perished with cold. He also discovered
his pockets cut, and turned inside out, and the whole
of his property gone. The whole of the prisoners
had been seen to leave Sussex-place on the morning
of the robbery, and on the following day the females
purchased a complete change of dress, with smart
bonnets, &c. On the Thursday evening they were
taken into custody by Sergeant Goff, 8 L, who judged
from their very appearance that something was
wrong, and upon being searched at the station 51. or
6/. in money was found on them.
The case was clearly established against all the
prisoners, and they were committed for trial on it, but
at the request of Sergeant Goff they were ordered to
be brought up again on a future day.
John Williams, a smart youth, dressed in a respect-
able new suit, and whose appearance was such as to
deceive the oldest officer, was finally examined cn a
charge of frequenting two chapels, the one in Lam-
beth-walk and the other on Brixton-hill, for the pur-
pose of committing felonies, and also on suspicion ef
being concerned with a gang of well dressed thieves
in picking the pockets of several ladies.
It appeared that on Monday week there was a
meeting at the Wesleyan Chapel, in the Lambeth-
walk, and another at a chapel on Brixton-hill on the
following Friday ; at each a number of robberies had
been committed, and at both purses, containing in the
whole upwards of 401, had been taken from the pockets
of ladies. The prisoner had been observed to be very
busy at each of the meetings in trying pockets, and
at Brixton-hill he was given into custody. When
asked what he had been doing in the chapel, the
prisoner (the meeting being for the support of a
foreign mission) replied, that he had gone for the
purpose of hearing something about foreign parts, and
the word of God.

He was identified by the police as a convicted thief,
and sentenced to six months' imprisonment.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

CROYDON, FKIDAS, 1 A.M.—A fire of a very
alarming and destructive character broke out between
eight and nine o'clock last night in the linen factory
belonging to Messrs. Larking and Co., situate at the
North end, Croydon, near the Crown-inn, and imme-
diately facing the police station. The factory, which
was formed of the most inflammable articles, was at
the rear of the front warehouse, and was adjoined on
one side by the extensive coach factory belonging to
Mr. Armfiold, and was separated from the lengthy
range ot. carpenters' and builders' shops belonging to
Mr. Kent by only an exceedingly narrow thorough-
fare, known as Kent's yard ; so that on the discovery
being made a fearful conflagration was expßcted, and
the numerous inhabitants of the houses near the spot
at once commenced removing their furniture, &c., to
a more distant place, in ocder to escape the ravages
of the flames. From personal inquiries made on the
spot during the progress of the tire, it appears that
whilst one of the F division of pollee was going his
rounds in Kent's-yard he perceived an unusual body
of smoke hovering over Messrs. Larking's factory,
and whilst looking to find out the cause an immense
body of flame shot through the side windows, clearly
indicating that the factory was doomed to destruction.
Mr. Inspector Shaw, who was in the station house
opposite, instantly sent a strong body of police
to render assistance, and at the same time dis-
patched an express to London for the aid of the
engines and firemen. The flames, ho.,vever, in the
course of a few minutes had obtained complete pos-
session of the whole of the stock in trade in the
factory, as well as the looms, and were rushing forth
from the different apertures in the place, and also
through the roof, completely illuminating the district
within a compass of eight or ten miles. Tnis caused
the engines of the town as well as those belonging to
the barracks and the lion. East India Company, at
Addiscombe, to start to the scene of conflagration.
The firemen attending them instantly set to work
from a well in the police-station yard, and with the
aid of the police and inhabitants a continued stream
of water was kept pouring upon the fire. Toe
moment the news reached London, Mr. Henderson,
the chief of the D section of brigade, with as
engine and a detachment of firemen, started for the
spot, and Mr. Connorton, with the West of England
brigade and engine, quickly followed. When they
reached the scene the whole of the factory was levelled
with the ground, so that the only assistance they
could render was to cool the smoking ruins and pre-
vent any further outbreak. The coach factory of Mr.
Armfleld has sustained but trifling injury, owing to
the exertions of the police and firemen, but the greater
portion of the windows in Mr. Kent's workshops are
demolished, and the side front very seriously
damaged by fire, &c. The whole of Messrs. Lark-
ing's front warehouse has escaped any injury, which
was exceedingly fortunate, considering its close
proximity to the burning factory. A vast quantity
of wearing apparel, plate, and furniture belonging to
the inhabitants was removed to the police station, and
protected by the police. Fortunately Messrs. Lark-
ing's loss is partially, if not wholly, protect:A by in-
surance in the Guardian Fire office. Respecting the
origin of the disaster, the reporter was informed that
a boy who was at work in the factory was sent to
post a letter, and that in his hurry he left a candle
burning, and it is supposed it must have fallen upon
some of the linen undergoing the process of finishing.
