OLIVER and BOYD'S

NEW EDINBURGH ALMANAC and
NATIONAL REPOSITORY for 1841.

In bringing before the public the result of another year's
labour, the Publishers feel confident that the New Edinburgh
Almanac will be found to rrytintain, in every respect, the reputa-
tion it has hitherto enjoyed. The volume now contains a
greater portion of practically useful, instructive, and entertain-
ing matter than is to be met with in any other publication pos-
sessing the same simplicity of arrangement and facilties for sin-
mediate reference. It is with no ordinary feelings of gratifi-
cation that the Publishers find the work considered, in the most
respectable and influential quarters, not only as a standard
authority on every subject of importance connected with Scot-
land. but even as a general register for England, Ireland, the
various European States, and the distant dependencies of the
British Empire. The professional man, the merchant, and the
public in general, may therefore confidently refer to it for such
information as is necessary to guide them in the affairs of life.

THE PATENT TUBULAR STOVE.
with either 1,2, 3, or 4 fronts of fire, for warming
Churches, Chapels, or Public Buildings, Halls, Warehouses,
Shops, Counting-houses, Libraries, Wine-cellars, &c., burning
Coke or Anthracite Coal at a very trifling cost, from 12 to 60
hours without feeding; and day and night, for any period, if
required. The•quantity of pure warm air, at a mild summer
temperature, which, from the extent of radiating surface, is
Cully equal to that supplied by three or four stoves of the ordi-
nary construction, is diffused so regularly throughout the build-
ing, as to obviate the necessity of burning or over-heating the
air, and rendering it noxious and unhealthy. The heat
may be regulated at pleasure. No sparks can escape, so that
accidents by fire are impossible.
To be seen in action daily, at the Patent Stove Depot, 58,
Ring William- street, London-bridge, and at Wright and Nash's,
253, Oxford-street ; where also may be had JOYCE'S PA-
TENT PORTABLE STOVES, either with or without pipes,
front 12s. each, upwards.
The demand for these useful and convenient stoves is daily
increasing in consequence of the variety of purposes far which
they are so peculiarly adapted. Schools, Halls, Passages, Shops,
Counting-houses, Bankers and Merchants' Strong-rooms, Clo-
sets, Harness Rooms, Carriage-houses, airing of damp rooms,
beds, &c., drying goods, new buildings, &c., feet warmers for
carriages, pews, g'gs, &c. ; for hot and green-houses, conser-
vatGries, pits, and fumigating to destroy r,mnin, &c. They
may be moved from place to place, suspended from the top, or
plunged in the earth, binning 12, 18, or 24 hours without the
least attention. For chemists, &c., oilmen, perfumers, wine
and beer merchants, wax or cement kettles free from danger of
boiling over, and keeping the cement in a proper state for use
for six or eight hours. All descriptions to be seen as above.

THE NEW COUGH MEDICINE!!!

HOLLAND'S BALSAM OF SPRUCE,
the newly-discovered remedy for COUGHS, COLDS,
INFLUENZA, INCIPIENT ASTHMA, and CON-
S UM PTION.

;Medical Science is daily producing new wonders, and among
the discoveries which take place none are more deserving of
public approbation than a remedy for those complaints which,
in this variable climate, are so productive of fatal consequences
to the comfort and lives of the public as Coughs and Colds.
This Extraordinary Remedy relieves the most distressing
symptoms in a few hours, and a little perseverance in its use
will, in every ease, effect a permanent cure.
Coughs and Colds, accompanied by a difficulty of breathing,
soreness and rawness of the chest, impeded expectoration, sore
throat, and feverish symptoms, will be quickly subdued, while
its use will assuredly prevent consumption from this prolific
cause.

Holland's Balsam of Spruce gives immediate ease in all
Asthmatic cases, and particularly in Hoarseness, Wheezings,
and Obstructions of the Chest; while those who have laboured
for years under the misery of a confirmed Asthma, have been
enabled by its use to enjoy the blessings of life, and to pursue
their avocations with a degree of ease and comfort they had
been strangers to for years.

JUVENILE FLAGELLATION.—THE SHERIFFS
IN A DIFFICULTY. —Two boys, of the names of Regan
and Donovan, were tried on Tuesday, and ordered to be
whipped yesterday morning, and then delivered up to
their friends. The work of flagellation is part of the duty
of Calcraft, the executioner, than wham no official can be
more punctual in the performance of his duty ; and he is
equally punctual in his attendance to perform it. It hap-
pened yesterday morning that the " functionary" did not
attend at the usual hour (eight in the morning), hence the
Sheriffs were at a loss as to how they could carry the sen-
tence into effect before the Court opened at nine o'clock,
the whipping post being under the floor, and the cries of
the culprits are distinctly heard in it. It was at length
announced that there was a person who acts as a mesien-
ger about the Court, who formerly held a situation in the
House of Correction, and was there a practical hand, and
could " wield the cat•o'-nine-tails with dexterity." Fur-
ther time elapsed before this amateur could be found,
but, on his arrival, he readily agreed "to perform." It
appears he gave such satisfaction to all (the culprits ex-
cepted), that the Sheriffs appointed him " instanter" to
perform that duty permanently—s duty which was always
repugnant to the feelings of the man whom he has super-
seded. Formerly it was the custom to flog adult prisoners
publicly, and a few years ago 19 non were tied up in the
court-yard on one day; but since the amelioration of the
criminal law that degrading punishment lies been ii,ffeted
only upon prisoners of tender age, and a birch rod has
been substituted for the " cat."

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR NOT-
TisoRAIL—We regret to announce that on Saturday morn-
ing last, another destructive and extensive fire occurred at
Paplewick, nearly five miles from Nottingham. In one
hour from the discovery of the fire, the roof of Forge-mill
had fallen in, and in three hours it was a complete is rock
and scene of devastation and ruin. The engines at rive'
from Nottingham, but all the mischief was done ; the pro-
mises were burned to the ground. Oil the 30:b Nov.,
1838, two years and a month ago, Forge-mill was de-
stroyed by fire, and was afterwards rebuilt, and fitted up
with machinery of the most costly description. On this
occasion, in addition to the loss of the building and machi-
nery, we are sorry to say a large stock of wheat, barley, oats,
and flour have been consumed ; what the amount of damage
is we cannot learn at present, but it mast be several thou-
sands of pounds. There is no doubt that the mill has been
wilfully set on fire. The building belonged to the Duke
of Portland, and the property inside to Mr. Charles A ll-
cock, an extensive factor of Bulwell, and was insured in
the Norwich Fire-office.—Lir,coln Gazette.

We understand his Royal Highness Prince
George of Cambridge will in the course of a few weeks be
promoted in the army.

THE EARL OF CARDIGAN AND

THE ELEVENTH HUSSARS.
(From the Alliyator.)
We regret that we should have occasion to call public
attention to the conduct of the Earl of Cardigan towards
Dr. Sandham,. a most meritorious officer of this regi-
ment, which conduct has, however, bad the good effect of
producing a just, but tardy and unwilling reprimand of the
Earl by the:General Commanding.in• Chief, to whom corn.
plaint was officially made.
The circumstances, we understand, were, that Lord
Cardigan had given orders that Dr. Sandham should at-
tend the troops to church and back ; on leaving, the doc-
tor passed through the little gate of the church-yard and
fell in with the men, who marched through the large gate.
When the troops reached the barracks the adjutant
said to Dr. Sandham, " It is his Lordship's order that
you fall in with the troops." " I don't understand you,"
replieel the doctor. "It is his Lordship's order," re-
joined the adjutant, and went away. On the dismissal of
the troops Dr. Sandham went to the Earl of Cardigan
and said, " My Lord, I have been ordered to tall in with
the troops ;" to which his Lordship replied, " Those are
my orders, Sir." " But I don't understand them, my
Lord." " They are my orders, Sir ; and then his Lord
ship, seeming to reflect, inquired; " Did you not come
out at the small gate ?" to which the doctor replied, " I
did." " Then," said his Lordship, I order you in fu-
ture, Sir, to come out at the large gate.'
Some one overhearing the above conversation asked Dr.
Sandham what the row was about, when he replied, " I
came out of the small gate instead of the large one." His
Lordship overheard, and sent for the doctor, and in the
presence of two officers he gave him a severe reprimand.
Dr. Sandham sent in a written complaint to the General
Commanding-in-Chief, through Lord Cat digain, who
called for a counter statement from the two officers, as his
witnesses, of what passed, which exactly agreed with the
doctor's statement. The Earl of Cardigan came to town
to sec Lord Fitzroy Somerset, who was absent, but he had
an interview with Lord Hill, and shortly afterwards the I
Earl received the following reprimand :

7 _
" Horse Guards.
. .
" Lord Hill regrets to find that his recommemhtion to
the Earl of Cardigan, on a previous occasion, has not had
the eficet of preventing applications to the Horse Guards,
by way of .complaint of tie Earl's conduct."
We think that his Lordship would best consult his own
dignity—comply with the %Indies of the army in general,
and more particularly of his ownlregimcnt, and would conci-
liate the feelings of the British public towsrds himself,
were he at once, by retiring from the army, to restore
that harmony and good fellowship again to the 11th
tars, which until his Lordship joined the regiment previ-
ously existed.

We understand that the two cflicers, and Dr. Sandharn,
expressed their intention of leaving the regimem in con-
sequence of this affair.

* Dr. Sandharn entered the service in 1805, was at
Buenos Ayres with the Carhineers, at the taking of the
Cape of Good Hope, through the war of the Deccan, and
the taking of the different fortresses, and at Bhurtpore.—
The Doctor has been thirty years at least upon foreign
service.
