the side lengths of four shafts, and one shaft length, making forty
yards of the tunnel is bricked, and the remaining portion is proceeding

I have great pleasure in stathag that the works now done by the
contractor arc executed in a good, substantial, and workmanlike
manner, and lain well satisfied with the exertion used by the con-
tractor in pushing on tile works.

2 and 3 aro ready. Contractors are preparing their estimates to
tender for these works, which may be let any day after the 24th of

tesford ; and the other will commence at Grantham, and extend to
the junction of the Sleaford Branch, making a total distance from
Colwick, near Nottingham, of twenty-three miles, including the first

(IMPORTANT CURE of INFLAMMATION
1 of the EYES, by the use of DURKEE'S GREEN MOUN-
TAIN VEGETABLE OINTMENT.
" Martha Day, of 94, High Holborn, states thas she is 14 years of
age, and has been afflicted with sore eyes from her infancy, occa-
sioned by the measles ; and for the last three years has been unable
to distingui-h objects with one of her eyes, and has suffered much
pain. She has been under the care of several occulists, particularly'
the principal one of the Royal Westminster Ophthalmic hospital ;
yet the inflammation increased and extended down the side of the
face, producing a hard swelling or tumour just below the jaw-bone.
In this state of disease she was advised to apply Durkee's Green
Mountain Vegetable Ointment ; in a few days the swelling and in-
flammation entirely subsided, and she can now see to read ordinary
print with that eye, tho sight of which was considered past restora-
tion."
The distinguishing feature of this ointments is its power in reducing
inflammation ; it is therefore highly beneficial in gout, rheumatism,
erysipelas, bronchitis, ringworm, glandular swellings, and all scrofu-
lous affections. The proprietors have consigned the ointment to
Messrs. H. Preston and Son, 94, Smithfield-bars, London. It is also
sold by Barclay and Son, Farringdon-street ; Sangar, 150, Oxford-

GI N.—Those who have been restrained from
the use of this favourite national beverage, by the knows
existence, in every kind of Gin that has hitherto appeared in the
market, of properties alike injurious to the health, and more or less
offensive to the taste, will hear with satisfaction the announcement
by Messrs. BETTS of a most valuable discovery in the mode of ma-
nufacturing this article, whereby in exquisite delicacy of flavour, in
entire freedom from impurities, and in every other quality attractive
to the connoisseur or general consumer, it is brought to a state of per-
fection, such as they confidently assert it never can attain under the
superintendence of any other manufacturers is the world. This dis-
covery being the subject of a grant of Letters Patent, Messrs. BETTS
and CO. intend to exercise their invention with a view to afford such
as feel disposed to take advantage of the offer an opportunity of pur-
chasing this unrivalled spirit in quantities not less than Two Gallons,
at 14s. per gallon.

REVIEWS 01 THE WORK.
LA'MEIRT ON SELF-PRESERVATION.—KENT AND RICHARDS.—This
work possesses advantages over c ery other other of the kind sub-
mitted to public notice. The author is a medical man of some con-
siderable talent, who has devoted many years to the study of his
profession, and as a guarantee of his pretensions has published his
qualifications and diplomas in the work, and several testimonials of
his abilities from physicians and surgeons of great eminence, which
is a most important consideration to those wh from the peculiar
nature of their infirmities, are obliged to seek medical assistance
from strangers. The subject is treated altogether in an excellent
manner, and by its perusal the unfortunate victim of vicious habits
and excessive dissipation, will be enabled to account for peculiar
disabilities, and to discover the means of alleviating their sufferings
in an easy and effectual manner.—United Service Gazette.

THE ADDITIONS TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—The
building, it will be remembered, occupied three sides of
a square. The addition is being built against the wings,
extending north and south, so as to form the fourth side
of the square and enclose the court. The new structure
projects but very slightly beyond the face of the old
building on either side, and occupies in the whole about
345 feet. The extreme height in the centre, exclusive of
the decorative arms, will be about 90 feet. One eentral
and two side archways give entrance to the new building
and to the court. There are 23 windows in each of the
two upper stories. The whole is crowned by a balus-
trade, and the dies which form it into panels will each
carry a vase or urn, as at the Privy Council-office White-
hall. It will be seen that the design does not pretend to
grandeur or magnificence—scarcely to dignity ; and
although all will probably agree with us in thinking that
these are the characteristics to be looked for in the palace
of the Sovereign, the architect was probably right in
attempting, in the present instance, little more than an
ordinary piece of street architecture in stone instead of
stucco. Mr. Blore's suggestions for laying out the
ground in front of the Palace is, if we understand it
rightly, the lengthening the present piece of water in the
enclosure, to bring it nearer to the Palace. As the
ground slopes away from the Palace towards the east,
he proposes to lower the surface of it at a certain dis-
tance from the front of the Palace, so as to form a ter-
race, faced with stone, as in Trafalgar-square.—The
Builder.

31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. lhftidence,oera
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated
hopes m
caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret nn-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself
tinder the plea
eomprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune., header, if

packed up in a box under the bed, and he would give
them to him. They had, he stated, been made up
ever since the packages were sent off. Tyra gave
them to witness, and he had kept them ever since.
Mr. Edw. Zohrab, Consul-General to the Turkish
Embassy, being sworn, stated that the coins pro-
duced were excellent patterns of the Turkish coins
now partly in circulation in that empire. They were
counterfeit, but the imitation was 30 good that it was
likely to deceive the people of that country. The
coinage had never been authorised by the Turkish
Government ; no person but the Sultan in that coun-
try had power to strike a coinage. It would be a
criminal act.

This was the evidence on the part of the proseeu-
:ion.

Mr. Harding said it was perfectly dear that the
case must go to a jury, but on the part of the prisoner
he had now to apply that he should be admitted to
bail. The magistrates were no doubt aware that the
prisoner was the son of the late Mr. Darwin, of .Edg-
baston-street, and unexceptionable bail would be
given. There were other circumstances which be
could not name which induced him to make this
application.
Mr. James, on the part of the prosecution, observed,
that they had every reason to believe that foreign
parties were concerned in the fraud, and if the pri-
soner escaped (which, if bailed, was not at all impro-
bable), the ends of justice might be defeated.
Mr. Harding—You will find that the application
for bail is made, not for the purpose of defeating the
ends of justice, but quite to reverse.
The magistrates decided upon committing the pri-
soner to take his trial at the Warwick assizes, but
took time to consider whether they would admit him
to bail.

The nine casks of counterfeit piastres sent by the
prisoner from Birmingham are said to have repre-
sented not less than 95,0001.

THE. DUKE DE PRASLIIsT.
On Wednesday, at five o'clock, the Procureur du
Roi, M. Boucly, went to the prison of the Luxem-
bourg, where, assisted by the director, and having re-
ceived the declaration of M. Rouget, the physician of
the prison, he drew up the following proces verbal :
" In the year 1847, on August the 24th, at five
o'clock in the afternoon, we, Felix Boucly, Procureur
du Roi at the Civil Tribunal of the Seine, having
been informed that the Duke de Praslin, who was
detained in the house of justice established near the
Chamber of Peers, as being inculpated in the crime
of murder, had just expired in that prison, we imme-
diately proceeded there, and, being conducted by the
director into a chamber on the second floor, lighted

by two windows looking upon the court, we there
found, lying on a bed, and giving no signs of life, the
body of a person whom we recognised to be the Duke
de Praslin, against whom we had laid an information
on the 18th of this month, and the following days,
and who, on Saturday, the 21st of this month, was
transferred from his hotel to the above-mentioned
house of justice. In the same chamber, and by the
side of the Duke de Praslin, we found M. Pierre
Rouget, doctor in medicine, physician to the Chamber
of Peers and the prison of the Luxembourg, who,
conjointly with ➢I. Louis and M. Andral, had con-
stantly attended the Duke de Praslin. M. Rouget
made the following declaration accompanied the
Duke de Praslin during his removal from his hotel
to this prison, and I have constantly attended him
since his arrival here. I attribute his death to poison-

ing with arsenic. I think that, in order to obtain
positive proof, it will be necessary to proceed to an
autopsy. The death took place at 35 minutes after
four in the afternoon, and I consider it to be abso-
lutely certain.' Of the above facts we have drawn
up this present proces verbal, which is signed by
M. Rouget and by us, in the presence of M. Gervais,
Pierre Francois, Guillaume Trevet, director of the
house of justice near the Court of Peers, who has
signed it after having read it. Done in the year,
month, and day above mentioned, in the house of jus-
tice of the Court of Peers.
" ROUGET, TREVET, FELIX BOUCLE'."
We extract the following from the Patrie
" The Duke de Praslin died in consequence of
arsenic taken in considerable quantity, according to
the official journal. It is not said who prepared and
furnished the poison, and at what moment the Duke
could have taken it. Let us recapitulate, according
to an authority worthy of credit, the circumstances
of the morning of the 18th. The prefect of police, and
M. Allard, the chief of the police de surety, arrived at
the Hotel Sebastiani about half-past five in the morn-
ing. The commissary of police of the quarter and his
agents were already in the chamber where the dead
body was lying. The Procureur-General, M. De-
langle, arrived about six o'clock. The Duke de
Praslin was there, going and coming from one room
to another, and expressing his surprise at the mode in
whicn the murderer could have entered the house.
After M. Delangle had carefully examined the loca-
lities, he declared in an energetic manner that the
murderer had not come from outside, it being most
evident that he belonged to the house. M. de Pras-
lin grew pale on hearing M. Delangle express himself
thus. Some minutes after the Procureur-General
addressed some questions to the Duke, which inti•
mated the direction which his suspicions took as to
the author of the crime. The Duke became then of
a cadaverous tint, and his agitation, his altered fea-
tures, and his general bearing showed to those pre-
sent who ought to be considered the murderer. At
the moment the examining magistrates and the Pro-
cureur du Roi entered, M. de Praslin disappeared im-
mediately. He went to an upper floor, on which was
his bedroom. It is thought with reason that it was
at this instant, that, finding himself suspected, he
swallowed the poison. About three hours had
elapsed, when the Procureur-General had ex-
pressed a suspicion. From that moment the com-
plexion of the Duke became yellow; this was the re-
sult of the poison. The'disorder in the organization aug-
mented visibly when the Procureur du Roi told the
Duke what overwhelming charges there were against
him. Confess that you are guilty,' said the Pro-
cureur du Roi; 'confess that you have assassinated
your wife.' The Duke looked at the magistrate, and
concealed his face with his hands. Do not assume
the attitude of a forcat, of the assassin by profession.
For yourself, if not for society, you are bound to
speak the truth, the honour of your family makes this
a duty.' I'he Duke cast his eyes on the magistrate,
and appeared as if he was going to confess his crime ;
but suddenly he turned round and said, ' Decidedly I
cannot say that 1 have assassinated her, I did not do
it.' The Procureur-General persisted, but the Duke
would not reply a single word. From this moment
the Duke was rigorously watched. Dr. Louis and
his habitual physician endeavoured to combat the
effects of the poison, which, in consequence of the
over-dose, did not produce immediate mortal conse-
quences. It was discovered that it was not laudanum
that he had taken, but arsenic, and the first physi-
cians, MM. Orfila, Andral, and Louis, had not sus-
pected it. They gave him wine and ice! The
symptoms of poisoning by arsenic are so little known
that three doctors could be mistaken. But after the

BASE COINAGE at BIRMINGHAM,
BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY.—This morning a young
man, named Edmund Darwin, most respectably con-
nected, was placed at the bar of the public-office,
before Messrs. J. James, H. Luccock, and T. Bielby,
borough magistrates, charged with coining and utter-
ing a large amount of counterfeit money with intent
to defraud the Turkish Government. In consequence
of the well-known respectability of the prisoner's
family, and the novelty and seriousness of the offence
with which he stood charged, the office was crowded
to excess.
Mr. James, of London, solicitor to the Turkish
Embassy, appeared to conduct the prosecution, and
Mr, T. Harding, of Birmingham, for the prisoner.
The first witness called was John Tyrer, button-
maker, of 18, Lionel-street, Birmingham, who de-
posed that he had known the prisoner about two
years and a half. Last October two years the pri-
soner, in consequence of an introduction from another
man, whom he had previously sent to purchase some
silver, came to him at his house in Branstone-street,
and saw him silver two small blanks. The prisoner
showed witness some impressions, which he said had
been struck from dies which were at that time at a
place about two miles distant from Bromsgrove.
They were similar to, but smaller than, those now
produced. At the request of the prisoner, he went
to the place near Bromsgrove, and saw the dies,
which were fixed in a stamp. He told him
that the stamp would do, but that the die would not
do. It was too full in the centre.—(The witness was
here requested to look at a quantity of genuine
Turkish piastres in a paper on the table.)—He knew
these coins. They were given to him by the prisoner.
There were five packets of them. They were foreign
money. By the prisoner's order he caused the dies
to be altered, and they were made from the coins
given to him for that purpose by the prisoner. When
the dies were completed he (witness) struck off about
45,000 coins. The prisoner told him if he would give
up his trade and, work exclusively for him, he would
give him 51. per week and all his expenses. He
ceased to work for him about twelve months ago.
The coins, when made, were sent away. They were
packed up, and sent away by Crowley's conveyance,
at the desire of the prisoner. The prisoner wrote
the carriage note and sealed it.—(A number of letters
and orders from the prisoner to the witness, relating
to the manufacture of the coin, were here put in.)
John Walker, late warehouseman to the prisoner,
identified them as being in the handwriting of the
prisoner.
The evidence of Tyrer continued—ln all he sent
off nine casks of coin similar to those on the table
(piastres). Three of them were returned in about
five weeks, the prisoner stating (in a letter which was
produced) that they were not sufficiently silvered.
Witness melted the returned coin, and used them in
his own work. The prisoner had paid him irregularly,
sometimes a pound at a time, but he did not think he
had received from him more than 61. during the last
year. Witness understood from the prisoner that he
was agent for some foreign house in London. He
requested witness to keep the matter as quiet as pos-
sible, as arrangements were going forward between
the Turkish Ambassador and the British Government,
which, if successful, would enable him (the prisoner)
to give witness employment for three years.
By Mr. JAMES (the magistrate)—They always
used cold silver in the button manufacture.
Cross-examined by Mr. Harding—There were
plenty of button manufacturers who made foreign
money. Mr. Ledsum made it for many years, and
so did Mr. Kettle, of Suffolk-street. When first
applied to by the prisoner, he thought he was acting
perfectly legally in making the coin. He had no
doubt that all was correct. When the prisoner told
him to keep the matter quiet, he understood him to
intimate that publicity might possibly have the effect
of inducing others to attempt obtaining the contract.
Witness had every reason to believe that the coin was
manufactured by order of the Turkish Ambassador.
When he did not receive his money according to pro-
mise, he began to suspect all was not right, but he
never made any communication to the Turkish Am-
bassador. He had received from the prisoner alto-
gether from 501. to 100/. Two or three months after
the commencement he suspected the prisoner. The
coin, with the exception of a very small quantity of
dies, were then all gone away. He never gave any
information to the police, and never spoke to any per-
son whatever upon the subject.
Mr. Harding—When, then, were you first asked
anything about the matter ? Witness—When Mr.
Glossop, the inspector of police, came to my house.
He asked me about the dies, and I gave them to him,
as well as the prisoner's letters. I never gave in-
formation to any man, and I will defy any man to say
that I did.
Mr. Harding—How was it, when you suspected
the prisoner, that you did not communicate with the
authorities in London or Birmingham . , Witness—

John Walker was recalled. He entered the pri-
soner's service on the 25th of February, 1846, and
left him on the Ist of May, 1847. e_had was ware-
houseman to him in Cannon-street. He fre-
quently seen him with peculiar coins on his desk in
the counting-house. Some were white and some were
yellow. When witness_ went near him he used to put
them in a handkerchief on his knees. The coin he
now produced (a base Turkish piastre) was received
from the prisoner.
He marked it at the time he re-
ceived it.
Mr. Glossop, inspector of the Birmingham de-
tective police force, deposed that he went to the wit-
ness Tyrer's house, and asked for the dies and coin
which be then produced. Tyrer beg they were

state to be interrogated by an examining magistrate,
and on the 21st he was removed to the prison of the
Luxembourg. On the 22d the Duke was much

the Grand Referendary, and conversed during the
t

the 23d that the symptoms of poison again appeared
with fresh intensity. The same night the evil gained
ground; dreadful suffering tortured the prisoner,
convulsions came on, and the next day it was evident
that his death was approaching. The Grand Refe-
rendary went to him, it is said, and called on him to
declare at what moment he took the poison, and who
prepared it for him. The prisoner replied that he
took it at his hotel, but he did not say who prepared
and gave it to him. It was the cure of the parish
Du Haut-Pas who administered the last sacrament
to the prisoner, near five o'clock ; and in a few in-
