" These works evince great professional and scientific ta-

" A successful mode of treating diseases so formidable, so
fatal, and so common as Dropsy and Consumption, which assail the
human frame from so many, and frequently from such opposite
causes, must obviously be an inestimable benefit to mankind.
There is scarcely a disease to which flesh is heir that mar not
terminate either in Dropsy or Consumption, from the simple
cold, which inflames the mucous membrane, and obstracts the
secretions of the body, to the more appalling aneurism or ossi:
fication. From an enemy, therefore, that threatens from so
many quarters, and lurks in such complicated ambush, all men
have been anxious to be delivered ; but hitherto their wishes
have been disappointed. Dr. Bright details, step by step, his
mode of dealing with Dropsy and Consumption, the Medicines
he exhibits, and gives many actual cases of patients cured after
they had been given up by eminent members of his profession."

COROAER'S INQUEST.

CAUTION TO STEAM-BOAT PASSENGERS.-1 cster-
day evening, an inquest was held before Mr. ?ayne, the
City Coroner, on the body of Edward Wheatley St.
John Mildmay, Esq. who Met his death under the
following circumstances :

Mr. James Bickerton, o: 37, Lower. Stamford-street,
Blackfriar's-road, hat manufacturer, depbsed that. on
Thursday last, about half-past four o'clock in the after-
noon, witness was a passenger by the Rose steam-boat.
On arriving at Dyer's Hall-wharf, the deceased was
standing near the rail which was about two feet high.
Upon coming alongside the pier, the stern of the boat
struck violently against it, and the concussion threw
rituess into a scat and the deceased overboard. The
vessel had crossed the river in an oblique direction.
Witness supposed they bad neglected to put out the
fender. The deceased was on the right-hand side, the
farthest from shore. Cannot say the causo of the
concussion. All the passengers were much frightened,
and did all in their power to save the deceased.

Witness called to the Captain, and then threw a rope
to the deceased. The rope fell by his side, and the de-
ceased attempted to grafp it, but missNl it. He th'n
sank and rose again, when a boy brought the boat-hook,
but the deceased was too far for witness to reach him.
The deceased rose a third time, and shortly afterwards
sank. The deceased was sitting upon the rail until the
boat came alongside, but not at time of the concussion.
If several persons had been standing at the same placu
they would have been thrown overboard, the rail net
being sufficiently high_ to protect them. No other boat
was at the wharf, or coming in or going out at the
time. Nothing more could ba done, except on the part
of the crew. None of the crew attempted to render
any assistance, except the boy who brought the boat-
hook.

After examining some other witnesses, the Jury
returned a verdict of—" Accidental death," at the same
time expressing their opinion that the rail of the vessel•
did not afford that security which was necessary for the
public safety.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTEESALL'S—YESTERnAY•

Some important alterations will be found in the events now
in the market for 1840. The Goodwood Cup, if we may
judge from the betting, is reduced to a match between Charles
the Twelfth and Hetman Platoff, Lanercost having declined to
8 to 1, with the loss of nearly all his friends ; Bloomsbury to
14 to 1, in consequence of a statement that he had met with an
accident on his road to Goodwood; and Romulus to 10 and 11
to I, ta'ten two or three times : it must be added, however,
that 18 and 25 to 1 were laid against him after the room
closed. The Goodwood Stakes' betting was flat, hnd remark-
able only for an improvement in Orelia. For the St. Leger,
Launcelot and Crucifix were at 7 to 2 each, or takers of 4 to
1 ; 10 to one laid once against Gibraltar, and only 15 to 1
against Galen, who was in immense favour. The betting,
un the whole, was languid, closed as follows :

THE SOHO PATENT DISTILLERY,

Together with the unique and very expensive Plant and Utensils,

constructed in the most skilful manner.

R. W. W. SIMPSON has received diree-
iNii. tiions to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, on TUESDAY,
August 11, at Twelve, in one Lot,
Th.: SOHO PATENT DISTILLERY and PREMISES, eli-
gibly situated, 75, Dean-street, Oxford-street; comprising spa-
cious counting-house, spirit-stores, still.house, colour-room, and
ached vaults, cart-house, three-stalled stable, and yard, with
back entrance; held on lease for an unexpired term of 17 years, at
a rent of 1001. per annum. The plant and utensils, which have
been brought to perfection at a very great expense, are admirably
arranged, and comprise two Torricellian stills, (Gutteridge's patent)
one of large dimensions, with refrigerators and apparatus for ditto,
and a common still gauge 114 gallons ; seven iron water tanks, a
600 gallon feint vat, 24 spirit vats, gauging collectively about 3,500
gallons; 12 copper spirits of wine vats, gauging together about 1,800
gallons; two spirit safes, with copper receivers under, brass_barrel,spi-
rit and feint pumps, with the suctions and rising mains, &c. By means
of the above patent apparatus spirit is rectified at one operation instead
of three, as by the common process, while the produce is infinitely
purer and stronger. The skilful construction and arrangement of
the plant and utensils occasions an immense saving of labour, time,
and fuel. To those desirous of embarking in the business of a rec.

tifying distiller% the above concern holds out inducements of no or-
dinary nature. The Brandy and Spirits of Wine made at this Dis.
tillery are admitted to be of unequalled quality, and the demand for
these articles being almost unlimited, the trade might be extended

indefinitely. The manufacture of Gin and British Compounds,
which has heretofore been neglected, might also be added to great
advantage; indeed, any person possessed of adequate capital could

not fail to realise a handsome fortune in a few years.
The property may be viewed, and particulars may be obtained on
the premises ; at the Mart; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18, Buck.
lersbury.

W. W. Simpson, IS, Bucklersbury.

TO lIORTICULTURISTS.

HORTICULTURISTS are invited to inspect
at that most experienced and. extensive Forcer's, Mr.
John Wilmot's, of Isleworth, RIPPON and BURTON'S
PATENT STOVES. The purity of the heat given by these
Stoves, it will be seen, can only be equalled by that of the sun.
The expense for fuel does not exceed 2d. for 24 hours, during
which time the stoves do not require any attention whatever.
The vines to be seen at Mr. Wilmot's are more healthy than
any ever were before by the old method of heating. The stoves
were placed in the house on the 18th of April, and the grapes
now are being thinned out, and may be seen as above any
morning from Six to One o'clock. Price, plain, 3/.

LITERAT URE.

CANADIAN SCENERY. PART 4.
Virtue, Loudon, 1840.
-This Part contains four spirited sketches of some of
the most picturesque scenes in Canada, accompanied by
brief literary explanations from the practised pen of Mr.
who seems better qualified for this sort of work,
that for writing plays or poems.

DESIGN FOR THE NEW POSTAGE
ENVELOPES.
This is a smart caricature, suggested by the nume-
Tous designs for envelopes with which Government has
.0f late been inundate'3. Dozens of grotesque-looking
Penny postmen are represented flying off in all direc-
tions ; and a couple of them, in the leanest possible con-
dition, are galloping along on horses, for which Don
Quixote's 'charger Rozinante seems to have officiated as
the mode). The figures of the laughing Chinese and
Yankees, in the back ground are very humorously pour-
trayed.

314.10 NS OF ENGLAND IN THE OLDEN

TIME.
We have here a sketch of the Great Hall at Little-
vote, in Wiltshire ; of the Room leading to the chapel
at Knowle, in Kent ; and of the Grand Staircase at
liardwicke Hall, Derbyshire, as they existed some
two or three hundred years since. There is much spi-
rit and freedom in these sketches ; and when they are
completed they will farm a good-sized folio volume,
which will be sure to become a favourite with our
fintiquaries.

:Mere are both pathos and humour in this story,
Itnieh is one of everyday life, and deals, for the most
Pert, with every-day character. The authoress is a lady
named Webster, and we congratulate her on the talent
she has manifested throughout Ingliston," which is
,skilfully managed as regards incidents, and is penned in
as easy, unexaggerated style. There is a shrewdness of
-4nbservation, too, about it, that at times reminds us of

KIRK V. REED

Mr. PEMBELToN moved in Wiis-Case for a reference to
the Master, to appoint a receiver of the rents and profits
f a farm and messusges in the county of Denbigh. The
Leal ned Counsel stated that in August, 1t338, the plaintiff
put up to sale an estate in Denbigh, consisting of a house.
and 500 acres of land, with valuable coal-mines, and the
defendant became the purchaser for 40,000/. Articles of
agreement were signed, the title was investigated and ac-
cepted, and the purchaser took possession, but had
neglected to pay either the principal or interest of the pur-
chase-money. Affidavits had been filed verifying these
facts, and the motion was one of course.
The Court made the order.

QUEEN'S BENCH (THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco.)

THE QUEEN V, THE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.

Mr. WniTEnvayr moved fur a rule to show cause why
certain portions of a return made by the Company to a
writ of mandamus should not be quashed. A writ of
mandamus had been issued against the Company, calling
upon them to empaneel a jury to assess the damages sus-
tained by two gentlemen whose coal mines bad been
covi red with water, in consequence of the Company hav-
ing diverted a stream from its course. The return to the
mandamus set forth one or two good traverses, which ware
good if they were true, and others which were merely ar-
gumentative. Now the plaintiffs in this, and in all similar
cases—for no doubt this would be a course adopted by
other railway companies, would be placed under this diffi-
culty, that if a return were made to a mandamus of one
good ground which was unfounded in fact, and of several
others which were merely argumentative, the plaintiffs
would be compelled to take issue upon all these, and thus
would be placed under great disadvantages.
The COURT decided that the matter might be set down
for concilium, and afterwards application might be made
to traverse the facts in dispute.

THE WEATHER, CROPS, &c.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
CORR, MAT 9, 1840.—The weather here in the south
has been very propitious for agriculture.. Wheat, this week,
is on the look-up, and a demand for it. I can state the
fact of a person leaving this city for
Waterford to pur-
chase some, who could not obtain it there under an advance
of 5s pe.r bag. The increased demand is chiefly for home
consumption. There is very little barley being sown
here this year, which is attributable to the working of the
temperance societies, and the farmer being, afreici,4o.3o it,
fearing that there will be no malting. Oats arc chiefly sub-
stituted. The wheat and oat crops look very promisingly.
It is stated that the setting of oats will prove very prospe-
rous in the south, the ground being in such tilth, or heart.
Potatoes are likewise very promising, and the early kinds
are now above ground ; the weather is very propitious for
them, there being heavy dews and no night frosts. Seed
oats are up to the enormous price of 21s. per barrel, and
scarcely to be had there is such a demand. With regard
to the butter market, that important article of southern
commerce has been coming in very elowl) ; but it is ex-
pected from the late rain, that supplies will increase.
The holders of old stock are looking for a high price.
New butter, first quality, in this day's market, is 1033., and
the different qualities averaging from that price down to
645., being the price of common quality. This is a con-
siderable increase in the market.

The emigration of our countrymen to parts of America,
Van Diemen's Land, Sydney, Capetown, and other parts,
embraces greater numbers for this season, perhaps, than ever
has been remembered. The emigrants were chiefly com-
posed of persons of the comfortable class of farmers, and
well-dressed mechanics. They wore so orderly, and had
so much the appearance, as we say in Cork, of being " well-
to-do in the world," that it was a cause of regret to many
to see such persons leaving the country. During their
stay in the city, the price of potatoes was raised consider-
ably by their purchases for immediate consumption as well
as for sea store, and has not yet fallen.

LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1840.

In the Peers last night, Earl STANHOPE
moved an Address to her MAJESTY, deploring
the interruption of our friendly relations with
China, and entreating her MAJESTY to tat:a- mea-
sures to prevent proceedings dishonourable to the
character, and detrimental to the interects of the
nation. The Noble Earl made a long speech in
support of his motion.
Viscount MELBOURNE defended the Govern-
ment, and gave a brief account of the whole trans-
action. The Noble Viscounts speech was plea-
sant and clever.

The Duke of WELLINGTON, preferring, as he
generally has done, what he conceives to be his
duty to his country, his duty to his party, spoke in
strong terms in praise of Captain ELLIOT'S conduct,
and declared that had he given up the English sea•
man, or had he not stood by Mr. DENT, he
would have been guilty of a gross dereliction of
duty. The Nob!e Duke moved the previous ques-
tion, and will merit the reproaches of the anti-
opium patty by supporting the Ministers and the
war. We are quite at a loss to know what Sir
JAMES GRAHAM, Mr. GLADSTONE, and Sir
R. PEEL will say to his Grace's speech ; but this
we know, that it gives them a harder blow than
even that which they received from Lord PAL-
