[ADYERTISEMENT-]—The Earl of Aldborough and
Holloway's Pills.—An astounding Cure by this miraculous
Medicine after every other means had failed. See extract of
his Lordship's letter dated Villa Messina, Leghorn, Feb. 21,
1845. "To Professor Holloway. Sir,—I beg to acquaint
you that your pills have effected a cure of a disorder In my
liver and stomach which all the most eminent of the faculty at
home and all over the Continent had not been able to effect.
Nay, not even the waters of Carlsbad or Marienbad. (Signed)
Aldborough."—These wonderful Pills will cure any disease of
the liver and stomach.—Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) at
Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand and by all
medicine vendors throughout the civilised world
A fourth edition of " The Crescent and the Cross,"
by Eliot Warburton, Esq., has just been Published, in twoso,
trulyvols.,
price 21s. bound. This delightful work (as the Morning p
observes) is one of the most readable books of travels that peregri-
nator ever penned. It is, from first to last, a splendid panorama of
Eastern scenery in the full blaze of its magnificence. It is impossi-
ble to read " The Crescent and the Cross" without being transported
for the time on to the sedgy banks of the eternal Nile, into the
country of our old friend Ilaroun Al Raschid, with all its delightful
delusions, which, though partly dispelled, can never be forgotten.
Moreover the crowning merit of the book is that it is evidently the
production of a gentleman and a man of the world, who has lived in
the best society, and has been an attentive observer of the scenes,
incidents, and infinite variety of characters which have passed be-
fore him during his joyous existence. To a keen sense of the
ludicrous he joins a power of sketching and grouping which arc most
happily demonstrated.
To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following
query is proposed.—Why do all the first cutlers of Europe use and
recommend Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer
is, simply because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and
smooth edge. Manufactory, 25, Strand,
THE MURDER IN DRURY-L ANE.—APPREHENSION OF
TILE SUPPOSED Assessitt.—The boy Wicks was apprehended shortly
after ten o'clock last night by Thompson and Pocock, two constables
of the F Division, at a small coffee-shop in Little Queen-street, Hol-
born. He was immediately removed to the chief police station in
Bow-street, where the charge was formally entered against him.
We are requested to contradict a paragraph, copied
from a morning contemporary, which appeared in The Sun of Satur-
day last, headed " Capt. Williams and the Norwich Gaol," which,
with the exception of a mandamus having been threatened, is
wholly untrue.
