TO STATIONERS AND OTHERS.
BROOKMAN and LANGDON respectfully
inform the trade, that their superfine DRAWING
PENCILS (manufactured with the purest Cumberland Black
Lead that can be procured) and which have received such ex-,
tensive approbation, particularly during the last half century,
are to be had on very advantageous terms at their Manufactory,
No. 28; Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury.
A list of prices will be sent to any respectable stationer in
answer to an application made free of postage as above.
B. and L. particularly caution the trade against the itnpos-
ing pretensions of itinerant venders of pencils, whose spurious
wares are frequently stamped with their name ; and they re-
quest that it may be observed that their genuine drawing
pencils have the words Augustus Langdon impressed on each.
No hawker or pedlar whatever is employed by them either in
town or country.
N.B. A handsome tray supplied gratuitously with an order
for a dozen of each sort of drawing pencils.

STOVE ON PRINCIPLES ENTIRELY NEW, AND
UNEQUALLED FOR COMFORT AND ECONOMY. •
By her Majesty's Royal - Letters Patent.
THE CHUNK PATENT STOVE,
.• invented by Mr. R. PROSSER, Civil Engineer, is distin-
guished from all ethers by its entire freedom from dust or
smoke, its great economy of fuel, and its perfect safety from
fire. It has been a source of great comfort in the nursery and
oed-room of he invalid, affording an uniform temperature
through the day and night, with only one supply, while the
most delicate test cannot detect anything arising from its use
which is injurious to health—it merely warms the air without
decomposing it ; and, as there is no door, none of the gases
generated by combustion can pass into the apartment.
Wherever warmth is required, this Stove is applicable. It is
as desirable for the drawing-room as the laundry ; for warming
greenhouses it possesses extraordinary claims, the very great
expense of building flues, and afterwards the immense con-
sumption of fu.l, being avoided. For workshops and ships'
cabins it is invaluable ; it requires attention only once in
twenty-four hours, during which time the cost will not exceed
twopence. Price, Plain, 31. ; Fluted, 3/. lOs.
Manufactured by the Sole Proprietors, RIPPON and
BURTON, WELLS-STREET, OXFORD-STREET ; of
whom may be had detailed Catalogues of the Prices of Fenders,
Fire-arms, Warranted Table Cutlery, Superior Nickel Silver,
&e., 20. per cent. under any ether old-established House, which
can be forwarded for a single postage. Established;l 620.
CAUTION TO ALL WHO HAVE PURCHASED THE
CHUNK PATENT STOVE.
It having been represented to Rippen and Burton that the
Chunk Patent Stove has been fixed with piping improperly
made, and without sand for the Fire Pail to stand upon, in the
inner circle of the bottom, R. and B. feel it necessary to state,
that. unless their printed directions (which are very short) are
in every respect attended to, the action of the Stove will be
much injured, if not siestroyed.

DRUNKENNESS AND SUICIDE.—Alonday an
inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, at the Victory,
Newman-street, Edgware-road, on the body of Francis.
Richards, aged 48, a coach painter. It appeared that
on Friday night lastathe deceased left his home whilst
under the influence of intoxication, and returned in a
short time with a cup containing some; laudanum, which
he had procured from a chemist's in the neighbourhood.
On returning with, the laudanan) he asked his daughter
to smell it ; she did so, and thought it was rum. The
deceased then drank the contents of the cup, and; said it
was laudanum, but subsequentlY denied that suCh was
with the usual symptoms of
the case. He was seized
drowsiness and heavy slumber, and in that state was
placed in bed b 3 his
wife, under the supposition that it
was merely the effect of intoxication. In the morning
deceased had been out of
he was found dead. The
work ten months. He was much addicted to drinking,
and whilst in that state became a perfect madman. He
had frequently threatened to hang himself, and wished his
family dead. The surgeon who was called in gave it as
his opinion that the deceased had died from the effects
of laudanum, probably aceerated by spirits previously
taken. Verdict," Temporary Insanity."

DRUNKARDS.—Forty-one cases of drunkenness
awaited their Worships' -disposal at the sitting of the
Bench this morning. They were principally tradesmen,
and had been connnitted to Bridewell on St. Stephen's
night by the police, whose reports of the state of the
town represented much Wore of rioting and robbing
than had been presented at any former sitting of the
Court for several months.--C"k Reporter.
