SALES BY AUCTION.':

LINCOLNSHIRE.—BREWERY at SPALDING,

Together with the TRADES ATTACHED to FOURTEEN
LEASEHOLD PUBLIC-HOUSES, several FREE HOUSES,
and PRIVATE TRADE.

ylrit. W. W. SIMPSON is instructed to SELL
1 the ALBION BREWERY, situate in Double-street,
55paleing, and comprising as follows :—Brewhouse, with Malt and
Hop Chambers, Stores, Counting-house, tic., a convenient Resi.
dence, an excellent Malt-house and Well-house, in which is a well,
affording an abundant supply of water to the brewery and malt-
house. The buildings are brick-built and slated, and in a very
perfect state of repair. They possess a commanding frontage of
nearly 2,i0 feet to the River Welland, which communicates with
Stamford, and is navigable to the sea; and the property, from its
extent, might he made available for the carrying on of the coal
trade, or any other mercantile business in conjunction with the
brewery. The moderate terms on which this property will be
sold, offers one of the most eligible opportunities which could oc-
cur for an active person desirous of embarking in the brewing
business, as a comparatively small amour.t of capital would be re-
quired to carry it on (particularly as the proprietor would give
great facilities by allowing a proportionally large sum to remain in
mortgige), and the purchaser would have the trades arising from
fourteen leasehold public-houses; also sevt•ral free houses and a
conciderable private trade, at present commanding altogether
about two thousand barrels annually, but which might be very
considerably extended..

Particulars may be obtained of Messrs. J. R Carter and Son,
solicitors, Spalding; of Mr. William Proctor, on the premises;
and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, estate, brewery, and distillery
agent, Bucklersbury, who strongly recommends a personal inspec

present low rents 7651. per annum. The sporting varieties are ex-

NOTICE. _ _

The Shareholders of this Company are informed that for the pur-
pose of effectually carrying out the original undertaking, and in
pursuance of arrangements for amalgamation concluded with other
companies, and of others still pending, the Directors find it neces-
.sari to divide the capital into shares of 201. each in lien of the exist-
ing shares of 251., and to increase the present deposit of five per cent.
to ten per cent., which is also necessary for the purpose of complying
with the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament.
. .

The holder of four existing 251. shares will, therefore, be entitled
to receive live new shares of 201. each. _ _ _

The Shareholders are required to pay on or before Monday the 23d
Instant the further sum of I/. ss. on the shares respectively held by
them, and for this purpose to deposit with the Secretary at the
Company's offices, 15, Old Jewry Chambers, London, on or before
the 18th inst. the scrip for the same, together with an application
for registry and exchange in the annexed form.
The requltote order to one of the Company's bankers to receive the
increased deposit will he issued within two days after the registry
of the scrip, and on the production of the bankers receipt new scrip
will be issued. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . .

All scrip in respect of which the Shareholders shall fail to take the
necessary, steps for payment of the required deposit, within the
specified time, will be absolutely forfeited.
The Directors have much pleasure in Informing the Shareholders
that the petition for the requisite Act of incorpora,ion has been pre
sented and that they are actively engaged in prosecuting the same.
In consequence of the depression in the money market the Direct-
tors have delayed calling for the additional deposit until the latest
possible moment to which they could with safety do so.
Forms of application for registry and exchange of scrip may be
obtained on application to the Secretary at the Company's offices.

ACHAT IN THE 'CHANGE!
Or, A " STOP" TO RUMOUR—NOT TO PAYMENT.
Two gentlemen were seen to range
The area of the new exchange ;
They'd often met each other there
On business and the like aflair ;
And oft, while pacing to and fro,
They'd had a bit co chat, you know.
Sometimes the themes on which they'd fix
Were Church affairs and politics ;
♦t other times discussion turn'd
Where trade and commerce were concern'd.
'Twas thus upon the day in question :
They'd many topics for digestion,
But that which fonn'd the greater part
Was MOSES' celebrated Mart.
The part where we were staying at
Enabled us to hear the chat;
And, as we think it worth narration.
We'll let you know
THE CONVERSATION.
" I say," said one, the th st who spoke,
" I'm told, without a word of joke,
• That MOSES' house—that mart for raiment,
Has positively stopp'd its payment;
I trust 'tie some unfounded notion,
For, sir, 'twill cause a sad commotion.
What are your thoughts upon the matter?
D'ye think it's truth, or merely chatter ?"
THE REPLY.
What !" said the other, rather " popp'd."
" MOSES and SON, the tailors, stopp'd !
Don't name such stuff to me, sir, don't!
1 won't believe it--that I won't:
I give at once a contradiction
To such a base, malignant fiction.
For instance, MOSES, deal with me,
And purchase most extensively ;
I've bargain'd with that house for years,
And never Aland the least arrears.
No—as a merchant I can say
They've always 'ready cash' toPay
As soon as goods are taken in
They're always ready with the tin.'
Excuse my joke —I can but laugh
At such s pleas of artful ' chaff;'
This rumour. doubtlens. came from Ups
Delunging to pretended snips,'
Who would rejoice with all their hearts
To stop' outright the mart of marts :
The tailo s find such competition
Has plac'd them in a sad position,
And finding that they can't compete
With things so mighty—so complete,
They spit their spite, in sore vexation,
And forge a silly fabrication.
These little fellows' of the trade
Have many a puny effort made.
And, finding that won't do, they try
At fabricating—What ? —A lie !
I ted you what, stop their clacks,'
I'd put the cane about their backs.
But why should I be so put out?
NOSES, enjoy the fun, no doubt ;
I guess, and I have heard besides,
They've laugh'd enough to crack their

KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit
drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of
which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly iimo-
cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak-
ness
of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna-
ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi-
ity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven-
tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the
certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and
strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall-
ing off or turning gray; a few drops on the crown of the head will
remove the most distressing pain, in that part produced by or at-
tended with faintness ; and is acknowledg. d by the Faculty as the
only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo
de calvans (which causes the Hair to come oft in patches) ; a few
applications removes dandruff. This wonderful discovery is fully ex-
plained in a pamphlet containing testimonials to its regenerating
new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the
Growth and Preservation of the Human Hair," by W. Grimstone,

pany consists in the admission of every member to participate in the

WELSH MIDLAND RAILWAY.
At a MEETING of the inhabitants of the town of SWAN-
SEA and its vicinity, convened by CHARLES HENRY SMITH,
Esq., Mayor of Swansea, in compliance with a requisition for that
purpose, and held at the Town-hall, Swansea, on Tnuasnav, the
13th day of February, AG,
THOMAS EDWARD THOMAS, Esq., in the chair. .
Proposed by Captain EVAN MonoaN, seconded by Mr. WILLIAM

WALTERS, and unanimowily resolved—
That the formation of the Welsh 31idiand Railway, from Swansea
to Worcester, giving to the town and port of Swansea a direct com-
munication with the Midland District of South Wales, and with
Birmingham, Liverpool, and the north and central parts of the
Island, will be of great public benefit.
Proposed by Mr. RICHARD AUBREY, seconded by Mr. MICHAEL JOHN

MICIIAEL, and unanimously resolved—
That the trade and interest of the town of Swansea have long
suffered from the want of a more cheap and free communication
with the mineral districts, and the inland parts of the country, and
that the advantages of its port and harbour are such as to insure,
not only a more extended export trade from the Welsh Mineral Dis-
trict but also a general import and export commerce to and from
Birmingham and Staffsrdshire, provided the Welsh Midland line be
constructed.
Proposed by Mr. LEWIS LLEWELLTN DILLWYN, seconded by M

WILLIAM MARTIN, and unanimously resolved—
That the petition to Parliament, in favour of the Welsh Midland
Railway. now produced, be adopted by this meeting, and signed,
and that the janebe forwarded to the Member for Swansep., with a
request to him to support the Bill, and that" the 'Members for the
county be also requested to support it.

CASE of POISONING at BROMLEY
The further inquiry into the above mysterious affair
was again renewed yesterday, at the Swan Inn, Bromley,
by Mr. Carter, the coroner.
Since the last adjournment Superintendent Pearse
and Inspector Field of the metropolitan police have
been actively engaged in making inquiries, and have
been in constant communicati m with the coroner, and
Mr. Field was present during the whole of the pro-
ceedings yes erday.
Before any evidence was adduced, a gentleman named
Rose addressed the coroner, and said he attended as the
professional adviser of the Rev. Mr. Verrall, to watch
the case on his behalf. He at the same time said that
that gentleman was ready and anxious to give all the
information in his power, but from some circumstances
of misrepresentation that had transpired, tending to pre-
judice his character, he requested permission to attend
on the present occasion as els legal adviser.
The CORONER said he was not aware of any evidence
having been adduced tending to throw suspicion upon
any party. The Curt was an open Court, and had been
so all along, and the gentleman was at liberty to be pre-
sent if he pleased.
The inquiry was then proceeded with.
Mr. H. Beau mont Leeson, physician of St. Thomas's
Hospital, and lecturer on chemistry and forensic medi-
cine, was the first witness examined, and his evidence
was of an important character, as tending to show the
impossibility of the deceased having destroyed herself.
It will be remembered that a small phial was found in
the soil of the water closet where the deceased was foiled
dead, and it was supposed by some persons that this
had contained the poison, and that it had dropped from
the deceased's hand. This supposition, however, was
negatived to a considerable extent by the evidence of Mr.
Holt, the surgeon, of Bromley, who was first called in,
and his evidence was entirely confirmed by Dr. Leeson, ,
who stated that, in his opinion, the phial had been in the '
place where it was found for a considerable time, and
that it had originally been used as a smelling-
bottle, and that it had never contained prussic acid. Dr.
Leeson detailed a variety of experiments he had tried
with the sal-ammonia that was contained in the phial
when it was found, and said that, by adding a small
quantity of lime water to it, the pungency of the salts
was immediately restored, and for want of this he said
he had no doubt the bottle had been thrown away. The
witness then explained that the effect of adding lime-
water to the sal-ammonia, when it had lost its power,
was immediately to refresh it, as it were; and restore the
smell.
In answer to a question from the Coroner, Dr. Leeson
said that the effect of mixing prussic acid with sal-am-
monia would be like giving the poison and the antidote ;
and he considered that the effect would be to entirely
neutralise. the effect of the prussic acid. He was not
prepared to say that the mixture would be perfectly
harmless, but certainly the power of the poison would
be to a great extent destroyed.
The CORONER: I believe, Dr. Leeson, it is pretty well
understood that smelling salts, or sal-ammonia, iy an
antidote to prussic acid?—Dr. Leeson: So much so, that
a gentleman I know took a large dose of prussic acid on
purpose to try the experiment. He had a person stand-
ing by him when he took the poison, with some strong
smelling salts, which were immediately applied to him,
and he found no ill effects from the poison. I have net
tried the same experiment upon myself, but I have upon
dogs.
CORONER.—And always with the same result?--Wit-
ness.—Certainly. He then proceeded to state that from
an analysis of the contents of the stomach of the deceased,
a portion of which had been shown to him, he had no
doubt they contained prussic acid, and that in consider-
able quantity. He should state, however, that prussic
acid was a poison of such a diffustible character, that it
entered the blood and moved through the whole system,
and in order to ascertain the_ actual quantity that had
been, administered, it would be necessary to distil the
entire body.
The CORONER remarked, that in the evidence pre-
viously given by Dr. Stott, he stated that he distinctly
discovered the smell of prussic acid in the brain of the
deceased.
In answer to further questions put by the CORONER,
Dr. Leeson said that the result of his investigation was
an opinion that a large quantity of prussic acid had been
taken by the deceased, and that the bottle which was
found in the water-closet had never contained prussic
acid. •;.q
A juror said he should be glad if Dr. Leeson would
inform him whether, supposing the deceased had taken
the poison herself, it was likely slae would have been
found in the easy recumbent positron in which the wit-
nesses proved she had been discovered? Dr. Leeson
said, he could only inform the jury that in all the cases
where he had administered the poison to animals, the
effect was to cause them to fall instantly to the ground,
as though shot. He had never seen the effect upon a
human being, but he should imagine it would be some-
thing similar.
In answer to another question put by the Coroner,
Dr. Leeson said that Scheel's prussic acid contained
four per cent. of the real acid, and the prussic acid of
the Pharmacopmia only two per cent. The real prussic
—:e „ee„re 6- +L. h n sraiglist-
he willing to produce it ; in fact it only existed in the
form of gas. -
The CORONER here remarked, that in consequence of
what had occurred at the form( r inquiry, he felt it to be
his duty to have the contents of the stomach of the de-
ceased, and likewise the phial and the matter it con-
tained, submitted to Dr. Leeson, in order that the jury
might have the benefit of his scientific knowledge upon
the subject.
The jury expressed their satisfaction at the course
adopted by the coroner, and said that they considered
the evidence given by Dr. Leeson was very important.
Mrs. Martha Coste, the wife of a labouring man, near
Bromley, was next examined. She deposed, that on
Monday night, the 6th of November, 1843, which was
the day on which the deceased met her death, she was
coming to Bromley, at twelve o'clock at night; to fetch
her husband home from a club meeting, and as she was
passing by the chapel, a man ran by her very fast. He
appeared to have come in a direction leading to the
chapel, and when she bade him good night, he made no
answer. Her brother-in-law was with her at the time.
By the JURY.—She was induced to pay particular at-
tention to the circumstance from the speed at which
the man was running, and his not making any answer,
when they wished him good night. He appeared to
have the flaps of his coat under his arm when he ran
by them.
James William Churcher, one of the members of the
Dissenting congregation, of which the deceased was also
a member, was the next witness. He was asked by the
Coroner, to state particularly when he first heard of the
deceased being missing ? and he stated that so long a
time had elapsed, that it was impossible for him to re-
collect all that occurred. He added, "We all have a
clear conscience, and are ready to answer any questions
you please."
The Coroner replied that there was no desire to at-
tack his conscience or any other person's. All they
wanted was to get to the facts of the case.
Mr. Verrall was then re called, and the Coroner said,
that on a previous occasion he had stated, that when be
saw the deceased in the chapel after the morning service,
on the Sunday he referred to, she did not ask him for a
testimonial to her character to enable her to get the situ-
atiou at Arundel, but that he did not give her one
addressed to the committee at that place. lie
?wished
to know now whether this was still his ynrettotnh e
had
Mr. Verrall said it was still his opinion
not given her any testimonial f orthepa parties at Arundel.
The Coroner then read a testimonial addressed to the
Managing Committee of the School at Arundel, men-
tioning the deceased, signed " George Verrall." The
testimonial, he said, was not in his (Mr. Verrall's) hand-
writing, but appeared to be a copy, and he wished to
know whether he had ever given the deceased such a
testimonial.
Mr. Verrall said he was almost certain he did not.
He did write a testimonial for the deceased to St. Albaus,
where she had been before trying to obtain a situation,
and he thought it very likely the one now read by the
coroner was merely a copy of that testimonial.
CORONER—Did the deceased, or did she not, in point
of fact, on that Sunday apply to you for a testimonial
to her character to be sent to Arundel.
Mr. Verrall—l think I must have made a mistake on
the former occasion, and that she did not apply to the
for a testimonial.
Thomas Churcher, a relative of the former witness,
here addressed the coroner, and with some warmth corn-
plained that Mr. Pearce and Mr. Field had charged him
.with endeavouring to frustrate the ends of justice by re-
fusing to state all he knew. He denied that there was
any foundation for such a charge, and said that it
was one calculated to do him great injury in the town;
he hoped the jury would express their opinion whether
there was any foundation for the charge.
The CORONER said that the officers had been spe-
cially employed by the Government to snake inqui-
ries, and it was his duty to give all the information in
his power, and he understood that he had refused to
answer some inquiry that was made of him.
Inspector Field said that when he applied to Mr.
Churcher, he told him that he had made one statement
to Mr. Pearse, and he should not make another.
The CORONER said they were pursuing a very im
portant inquiry, and it was the duty of all honest men
to give every assistance in their power to further the
ends of justice.
The inquiry was then again adjourned.
