Patronage of his late 1112jesty, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, axed the Lords of the Treasury, is universally
recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing dis-
orders incident to the Eyes and Head.

AND DEAFNESS CURED!

By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!

Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
to induce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords,-and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated
Herbaceous Compound. known as" Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie Esq., F.R.S. See J. B. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recomm,:nd Grim-

" Student's Vade Mecum."—See the many thousand Letters

TIIE EARL OF STAIR'S CLAIM

In this case the Earl of Stair claimed the right of Tot-
ing at the election of Representative Peers for Scotland.
Counsel were heard, several witnesses were examined, and
several documents read, to prove the descent of the Noble
Earl, after which the Committee resolved that the claim-
ant had made out his right to vote.—Claim allowed.
EARL OF ATHLONE'S CLAIM.

The consideration of the claim of the Earl of Athlone
to vote at the election of Representative Peers, was ad-
journed to Monday next, in consequence of some defect
in the evidence.

The House then proceeded to hear appeals.
FOGO V. MATUIE.

The further arguments in this Scotch appeal were pro-

Chancellor rose to attend the Drawing-room. His Lord-
ship, before leaving the House, intimated that he would
sit to-morrow (this day,) at half-past twelve o'clock, to
hear the remaining arguments in this appeal, and also
to give judgment in the case of Kay v. Marshall.

SPAIN.

9.—The Minister, instead of presenting
the project of law on the Ayuntamientos, has named a new
Commission, composed of Unitarians, to revise this law. No•
thing was thought a at Madrid b,t the fete on the 10th.
Very little business doing at the Bourse. Actives was
Plans Were still talked of for raising money for immediate
wants, but nothing eoneluded. •
The followinc, are the words of the motion which Senor
Carasco deemed it his duty to make in the Senate on the 7th,
relative to the health of the young Queen, noticed in The Sun
of yesterday
" Whereas the health of her Majesty. Queen Donna Isabella
11. has lately been the occasion of several medical consu;tations
on the expediency and even the necessity of her Majesty's re-
sorting to the use of sulphurous baths ; it being also known
that the Government has come to some resolution on the
subject, which should be immediately conmunicated to the
public ; in order to reassure all Spaniardt who regard
the Queen as the only • guarantee of happiness for the
nation, and considering, finally, that the Representa.•
tires of the country have assumed the imperious duty
of watching with zeal and care over the august orphan
during the temporary absence of her excellent mother and
guardian, I have the honour ( f propOsing to the Senate, to call
on the Government to communicate to us, within the shortest
possible delay, whatever measures it has deemed expedient to
devise in this delicate and important circumstance, and to lay
on the Presidential table all the documents relative to the opi-
nions given on the occasion by her Majesty's physicians, and
by the other persons who may have been consulted on the
health of the Queen."

The negotiations between Surra y RuU and the Madrid
capitalists tor an advance of funds are thought to have been
altogether broken off.

PRDTCE EDWARD'S ISLAND.

Mr. HUME presented a petition from the Speaker of
the House of Assembly of Prince Edward's Island. It
referred to certain printed documents which accompanied
it, but which of course could not be laid before the
House, but only before a Committee. He should
move that it be printed, and he hoped that
the new Parliament would cause inquiry to be made into
the grievances complained of by the Assembly of Prince
Edward's Isla d. One of the principal grievances of
which they complained related to the tenure of lauds.
They contended that the persons to whom the lands had
been originally granted had not fulfilled the conditions of
the grant, and that consequently the lands ought to be es-
cheated, and the cultivators enabled to cultivate them in
sueha manner as should be most beneficial. He had pre-
sented a petition on a similar subject two years ago. The
la
Governmenthad investigated
instructions to the island ihesubject, and hadsent out
'a
in consequence ";those instruc-
tions, although they had been accepted by the Council,
had been rejected by the Assembly so that there was at
present a difference on

branches of the Colonial

re-

Nobility, Clergy, and Commercial Gentlemen in particular,
for the very decided preference which has been given to their
Hotel, since they succeeded to the business of their late parents,
and hope, by continued assiduity and attention to the comfort
of their guests, to merit that patronage which has hitherto
been so liberally bes!owed.
. . . . . . . .. ..

J. and E. S. feel it their duty to caution those passengers
traYelling by mail or stage-coach, who intend patronizing their
Hotel, that these conveyances now arrive at and depart from
the Coach-dice, Gateway (two doors from the Hotel), and
unless they ask for Simpson's Hotel, it is probable they may
be conducted to a lodging-house aear the Gateway, which has
no connexion with their establishment.

An omnibus leaves the above Hotel for every Railway train,
and post-horses are always in attendance at the station.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before Chief Justice TINDAL and Mr. Justice
WIGHTMAN.)
Christopher Smith, a middle-aged man, was indicted
for feloniously ,forgine• and uttering a bill of exchange,
for the sum of 851., with intent to defraud Wm. Moss.
Mr. Phillips prosecuted, and Messrs. Clarkson and
Chambers defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor, a solicitor, residing in the Old Jewry,
stated that he had been acquainted with the prisoner for
some years, and had been in the habit of discounting
bills for him. The prisoner, who described himself as
a tailor and draper, in February last gave him the bill
produced purporting to be drawn by a person of the name
of Boulton, whom he represented to be a gentleman of
property, residing at Staines ; he at the same time
gave the card produced, on which was printed, " Mr.
Benj. P. Boulton, Staines." The prisoner was desired to
make inquiries respecting Mr. Boulton, and went out of
his office for that purpose, but returned in a short
time, and stated that he had met Mr. Boulton at
Morley's Hotel, Charing-cross, and that it was all right.
During his transactions with the prisoner the name of
a Mr. Fletcher was mentioned, and that person was said
to have had an extensive connection amongst the west
end tailors. The prisoner refused to give him Mr.
Fletcher's address, alleging that if he did so, he and wit-
ness would get dealin; together, and then he (prisoner)
should lose his commission. The bill in question was
dishonoured when it became due. Subsequently the pri-
soner told him that Mr. Fletcher resided at 22, Old
Burlington-street.
The witness was subjected to a most rigid and search-
ing examination by Mr. Clarkson. There were two
other indictments against the prisoner. When before the
Magistrate he did not make any mention of Fletcher's
name. In the year 1838 he had some land
at Norwood, which he wished to dispose of,
and suggested to the prisoner, that if he could raise
enough money to purchase it, it might answer his pur-
pose. Did not recollect about that time sending for the
prisoner, and expressing a wish to have a confidential
communication with him. Had been an attorney about
fourteen or fifteen years. During two years has had bill
transactions with the prisoner to the amount of 20,0001.
The first bill he received from the prisoner in Fe-
bruary, 1838. Was not then aware that his circum-
stances were bad. The bills were discounted some-
times by checks, and sometimes by cash. The bill• in
question was discounted with various others, amounting
to 2801. Could not tell how they were discounted.
Sometimes he discounted them by giving other bills
in exchange. On referring to this book, he found
that four other overdue bills were given. Wit-
ness's commission on that transaction amounted to
the sum of 451. Allowed the prisoner a commission of

From the N. end of Simond's Channel, the anchorage at Wil-

( Before Mr. Justice BOSANQVET.
Charlotte Yazley was indived for the wilful murder of
Lavinia Kerrison by drowning, on the 23J of Match, at
Great Yarmouth.
The prisoner, who is a young woman of 22, was married
,n August I,st to John Yasley, a fish, rman living at
Yarmouth ; the deceased was an illegitimate child of John
Y.ixley, and at the time of its violent death had just
reached its tenth month of existence. The child livid
with its mother, Mary Kerrison, until about the lit
f March, when at the joint request of the prisore
and her husband it was taken to live wholly with
0-e.ri. The prisoner had heel unif .rrnly kind to it un-
•il the day which termina,ed its existence; had been
used to have it sect to see her and its father ; and male it
•uch little presents as her poor means enabl d and its smal
wants required. It hid just begun to totter alone from
chair to chair, and so lately as the Saturday previous to its
death the prisoner had boug':it it a pair of new shoes. On
Monday the 22d of March, the prisoner's husband
left home for the purpose of attending a fair
at some distance, and was not expected home
until late on the following day ; and at six o'clock or,
that evening, the prisoner put the child, who was
then quite well, to bed, and hushed it to sleep with an as-
siduity and tenderness almost maternal. Great th.refore,
was the wonder of her neighbours, on the following morn.
ins, to hear that the inf,nt was dead. At eight o'clock
on Tuesday, the 23d, the prisoner called on her sister-in..

lONIAN ISLANDS.

The Gazettes of Malta, a place under the dominion of
Great Britain, treat continually of the interests of the
lonians, who arc under the protection of Great Britain.
We ask, with all respect, is it honourable on the part
of this great nation, to deny to those under her protec-
tion the liberty of the press, while she grants it to those
who are under her dominion ? to compel the former,
bearing the name of free and independent, to implore
from the sympathy of the latter who are under her domi-
nion, the means of giving publicity to their wants ?
Let every honest man reply to the questions—every
Briton inspired with honour and the true glory of his
country ?
We will next ask with all humility her Majesty's wise
and powerful Government, since this refusal cannot be
honourable, as it is not equitable, is it at least justified
by any necessity ?
A President of the lonian Senate wrote to Si; Howard
Douglas, who, we will not say with what prudence,
published, that the liberty of the press would be abused
for the purpose of tying up the hands of the Govern-
ment, and disturbing the peace of families.
What false and shameful fears 1 Do not the lonians,
placed between two States that enjoy the liberty of the
press, make use of it, when they please, and with more
impunity than they would do if a tree press existed
among them under the just restraint of the law, and the
vigilance of the Magistrates, ready to crush any abuse
at its first appearance ? It is true that a frea press is a
restraint upon the Government ; but upon what Go-
verment ? Certainly not upon one which is actuated
by the desire of making its people happy ; which, con-
scious of the purity of its intentions, despises every ca-
lumnious attack, as it receives and profits by very pru-
dent counsel, on whatever side the voice may arise that
utters it. On the contrary, the free press place; in a
noble point of view the Government from whose greater
attention it can derive nothing but good.
The Government acts for the public, and why should
it fear that the public speak and reason about its pro-
ceedings? Why wish its operations to be covered with
the veil of mystery? Why wish to withdraw from
public judgment its conduct, and forbid all discussion
and reasoning upon its acts more than upon the mys-
teries of religion ? The public press, it is true, tears off
the mask from baseness, ignorance, and intrigue—
shows the country in whom it may confide, whom it
should love, and who deserve its contempt ; but from
this can injury happen to the State, or embarassment
to a Government influenced by upright intentions?
Let an enlightened and impartial public reply to these
questions.—ll Mecliterraneo.

LLANELLY.

It is with sincere pleasure we announce to our
readers that this railway, which was intended merely
for tlia transmission of coals, and was never thought
would be able to command a traffic in passengers, and
which, therefore, is provided with only two locomotives
and two railway carriages to run on its single way, has
actually carried 2,523 passengers in four weeks, or at
the rate of 631 per week. Such a circumstance is
strikingly indicative of the great powers of railways to
increase and even to create passenger traffic in locali-
ties where it may be supposed it could hardly exist.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tio..s, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark th'e terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases,

tion Fee of IL," without which no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
,perecy may be relied en.

This will he the Curthtolntest between the Cambridge
and Oxlcrd gentlemen on the London river, as the distance
cnosen is teimeo, and the University of Cambridge bas
on each former occasion carried off the laurels, a circum-
stance which may account fur their Icing slightly the fa-
vourites from tie very moment the match was made, and
indeed before the gentlemen had come to town. Their
daily training has been narrowly watched by the coynns-
anti, and the result is that large sums are being laid out
at even, and in some instances 5 to 4 has been given on
Cambridge. Two new boats have been built for the occa-
sion by Messrs. Searle, of Stangate, as much alike as
possible, with one exception, that the Cambridge cutter is
of the lapped ordinary build of boats, and that of the Ox-
ford what is termed carve!. The length of each is fifty-
two lent seven inches, and their construction thoroughly
masterly. In point of appearance the gentlemen corre-
spond as nearly as the boat?. They are fine young teen,
averaging, as nearly as possible, list. 41b. or list. 5!b.,
and, under these circumstances, a very beautiful struggle
may be reasonably expected.

It will be recollected that the subject of affording
to the population of the eastern part of tne Metropolis the
healthful advantages of an open park was last year mooted.
We think we may now announce that steps are being
taken for the accomplishment of that desirabe object. For
some time past a gentleman connected with the depart-
ment of a Noble Lord, to whom the inhabitants of the
metropolis are already so much indebted fur extending the
means of public recreation, has been employed in survey-
ing and laying down plans of a large plot of ground in
the vicinity of Limehouse, which it is considered may be an
eligible site fur such a park. • Many difficulties must of
cf course present themselves to the completion of this ob
ject, but we trust we are justified in stating that the anxious
dew() of the Government to carry out this salutary utir-
llo,:e sill meet with no insurmountable obstacle.— Sunday
