13URKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE FOR 1848.
—The new edition of this valuable history of the nobility
for the present year has just appeared revised through-
out to the present time, and containing all the new
creations. The text of the volume fully bears out the
following remarks made by the authors in the preface,
while acknowledging their sense of the unrivalled popu-
larity to which their labours are indebted for a circula-
tion interrupted only by the occasional delays of revision
and printing:... To each successive reprint the most
assiduous attention is devoted; each article is separately
and distinctly revised, emended where inaccuracy is
discovered, and extended by such new information as
may be obtained from public records or private papers
regarded as trustworthy. The voluminous collections
made by the authors themselves for their History of
the Landed Gentry' and other genealogical works, have
in this respect been found of the utmost value, by ena-
bling the authors to enter at large into collateral lines,
and thus to enrich their pages by an accession of names
to the respective pedigrees which had previously been
excluded.
[ADVERTISEMENT.)—A Gentleman Regained the
Use of his Limbs by the Effect of Holloway's Ointment
and Pills.—Mr. John Cock, a highly respectable gentle-
man residing at Madron, near Penzance, has been con-
fined to his house for a considerable period from a fear-
ful attack of paralysis. He had recourse to the best
medical aid but to no purpose, as in such cases the usual
treatment never does any good, he then resolved upon
using Holloway's ointment and pills, and to the surprise
of all who knew his deplorable state, these wonderful
medicines alone have restored him to perfect health and
the complete use of his limbs. These valuable medicines
are sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's
establishment, 244, Strand, London.
CHARTIST MEETINGS IN BIRMINGHAM.—TUESDAY.
—The Chartists of this town continue to hold their
nightly meeting. They pass by, however, perfectly un-
heeded by the middle and influential classes of the
inhabitants. Last night an attempt was made by the
more sober-minded Reformers of the borough to pro-
mote a middle-class movement. The meeting took place
at Corbett's Temperance Coffeehouse, and was presided
over by Mr. P. H. Muntz. There is, notwithstanding,
a sad lack of enthusiasm amongst the inhabitants. The
position of the Chartists provokes universal ridicule.
HORRIBLE DEATH.--On Monday last a young man
named Charles Tyler, aged about twenty years, was the
victim of a most frightful accident at the Lanthony
limekilns, near this city. On Monday he had been
working in the fields, where he got very wet, and about
twelve o'clock he came to the kilns to dry himself.
William Williams, a limeburner, left him there at that
hour, and on returning to the spot about two o'clock, ho
took a barrow-full of coals to the top of the kiln for the
purpose of feeding the fire, and on looking down he saw
the deceased lying on the strong fire, his clothes com-
pletely consumed from his person, and his dead body
burning.
DEATH FROM AN ABSURD FEAT.-.The weekly re-
turns of the Register-General for the week ending April
8, reports the following decease:—ln St. George's Hos •
pital, a coal-porter, aged twenty-four, died from he-
morrhage from the internal carotid artery, consequent
on a burn of the mouth and throat, caused by a red-hot
poker forced into the mouth by falling while carrj ing
the poker between his teeth as a feat. Three days
elapsed between the receipt of the injury, and the
A death.
