of Prussia, and further honoured by the: ntinued patronage of all
who seek an unaffected gentlemanly appearance. The cloth is
made of Llama Wool, a fabric most agreeably soft and elastic to the
touch, and is one-third the weight of ordinary woollen clothes, but it
corresponds in shades of colour. It is very durable, and naturally a
repellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of exces-
sive bodily heat. These advantages, with the very moderate price
charged, renders the Registered Paletot worthy the attention of all.

THE ATRAPILATORY, or LIQUID HAIR
DYE; the only dye that really answers for all colours, and
does not require re-doing, but as the hair grows, as it never fades or
acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes.
ROSS and SONS can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the
above dye as infallible, if done at their establishment ; and ladies or
gentlemen requiring it, are requested to bring a friend, or servant
with them to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it after-
s ards without the chance of failure. , They think it necessary to add,
that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle
of dye, numerous persons hays succeeded squally well without
coming to them.
Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street. London.
A MOST IMPORTANT ADDITION AND IMPROVEMENT TO
ROSS AND SONS' LIQUID HAIR DYE.

ROSS and SONS meat respectfully inform the Public that they
have succeeded in producing a POMADE, that, after the Hair
has once been thoroughly Dyed by their ATRAPILATOItY, will
keep it in the most beautiful order, and p t
irevent again showing grey,
with no more trouble than applying any other sort of Grease to it.
TYEBROWS, MOUSTACHES, and WHIS-
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 inno-
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 Ilgure. 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 acknowledged 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 off, in patches) ; a few
applications remove dandriff. 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 Brimstone,
Inventor of the Aromatic Regenerator for the Growth - !the Human
Hair, and a certain preventative of headache and fainting ; also a
toilet perfume—bearing the Inventor's signature, Herbary, High-

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a oontented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply-, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities.in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the lilt e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation 5f our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as bast becomes the highest
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.

"The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali-
fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, oven to the most confidential friend."—Era.

LA NV IN TE LLIGEN CE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, July 31.
DAHER V. LORD PORTARLINGTON.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, over-
ruling the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, and ordering the
bill to be dismissed.

His Lordship afterwards „proceeded to hear petitions in
lunacy, most of which were unopposed.

IN RE DYCE SOMBRE.
Mr. BOLT stated that this was a petition presented by
Mr. Dyce Sombre, whose unfortunate case has been frequently
before the Court, and it prayed that the commission of lunacy
issued against him might be suspended without his being
compelled to leave France, and come within the jurisdiction
of the Court. Mr. Sombre was most anxious that the facts
relating to his state of mind should be most fully investi-
gated; and although not within his Lordship's jurisdiction,
he pledged himself to abide by any order the Court might
think proper to make. The Learned Counsel then went
into a history of the case, and read the affidavits of most
eminent medical gentlemen, which he thought would con-
vince his Lordship that the commission of lunacy ought to
be superseded.
Mr. BETIIELL was heard on the other side in support of
retaininc, the commission, and he argued that Mr. Sombre's
state of mind was still diseased, and that he was utterly
incompetent of managing his own affairs.
The LORD CHANCELLOR directed that two medical gentle-
men, Dr. Bright and Dr.. Southey, should see Mr. Dyce
Sombre and report upon his state of mind, and that for that
purpose he must come to eDover, and remain there until
these physicians, whom his- Lordship would instruct for the
purpose, had completed their inquiries.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME CI R C ULT.—Guildford, July 31.
The Commission for the county of Surrey was opened
here on Thursday, and business was proceeded with in
both courts this morning at ten o'clock. Mr. Bsron
Parke presiding at Nisi Prius, and Mr. Justice Coltman
in the Crown Court. The business on the civil side is
heavy, there being a hundred cases entered for trial,
nine of which are special jury cases. There are only
twenty prisoners for trial, and it is computed that the
criminal business will be got through to-day (Saturday),
and it is arranged that Mr. Justice Coltman shall then
try the last thirty common jury cases. The first special
jury cause is fixed for Wednesday, and the others will
be taken afterwards in their order.

The cases tried yesterday in both courts were entirely
devoid of interest to the public.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, Thursday, July 30.

CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron Pi.ti:yr.)

property of William Carr.
The real state of this case is rather peculiar. A man of
the name of John Wilson was in the band of the Coldstream
Guards ; lie deserted, and then took the name of William
Carr. He married a woman under that name. He enlisted
in another regiment under the name of William Carr, and
served three yea's in Spain, and answered to the muster-
roll under that name. He then returned to England and
gave himself up as a deserter in his proper name of John
Wilson. This pin having been stolen from his wife, and she
having been married to him under the name of William Carr,
the property in .the indictment was laid as being that of
William Carr. When the case came on, it being proved that
the man's real name was John Wilson, Mr. Baron Platt
directed an acquittal. The prisoner was then indicted for
stealing the pin, the property of John Wilson, otherwise
known by the name of William Carr. Upon the arraignment
a plea of autre fois acquit was put in, and it was contended
for the prisoner that this was one and the same felony, and
that therefore the prisoner could not be again put upon her
trial for the same offence, and a dictum from Hawkins was
cited to show that if a party was indicted for taking the goods
of A, and they turned out to be the goods of B, he could not
be afterwards tried for taking the goods of B, because it was
one and the same offence. _ _

Mr. Baron PLATT said, he entertained a strong opinion
that it was not the same felony, but the case in Hawkins,
rather staggered him, and therefore he would consult his
brother Judge.
His LortnstuP, having returned, stated that Mr. Justice
Erie thought the issue of fact, whether it was one and the
same felony, ought to be tried by the jury.
The attorney for the prisoner was then called, and he
stated that he was present at the former trial, and that the
prisoner was acquitted on the ground of the pin being the
property of John Wilson, and not of William Carr, as laid in
the indictment.

The Learned JUDGE then put it to the jury whether the
prisoner having been acquitted of stealing property belonging
to William Carr, and being now indicted for stealing pro-
perty belonging to John Wilson, they were of opinion that
the felony with which the prisoner was now charged was the
same of which the prisoner had been before acquitted.
The jury returned a verdict that it was the same felony,
and therefore the prisoner was discharged.
John JVestaway was indicted for the manslaughter of Wil-
liam Tucker, at Torquay, on the Ist of April.
Mr. Houldsworth was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr.
Collier for the prisoner.
The evidence showed that the prisoner was employed in
blasting a rock near a road at Torquay, from which it was
distant seventy feet. Some part of the rock upon one of
these explosions struck the deceased, who was on the public
road, and killed him.
Mr. Baron PLATT said, that these explosions so near the
public highway were a public nuisance, and that the public
did not seem to understand their rights. Persons were not
justified in committing such dangerous acts. The master
who employed a party to do such an act was as much amen-
able as the man who by his own hand committed it. A high-
way was for the accommodation of the public, and he who
invaded the safety of that highway was guilty of a nuisance,
and rendered himself liable to punishment.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him
to mercy.

Mr. Baron PLATT, in addressing the prisoner, w!lo was
much distressed, said that he appeared to be an industrious
man, earning his bread by honest means, and evidently was
not aware of the dangerous act he was committing. 1-Es
was not a case for severity. Taking into consideration the
recommendation of the jury, the length of time he had been
in gaol (since April 3), and all the circumstances of the case,
the sentence was tbat he should be imprisoned for one fort-
night, without hard labour.
It is to be hoped that this will have the effact of putting a
stop to this most dangerous practice.
Aaron Floyd Norris was indicted for stealing three sheep
on the Ist of July at Payhembury, the property of William
and Charles Pratt.

Mr. Kekewich was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr.
Greenwood defended the prisoner.
From the evidence, it appeared that on the Ist of July
three sheep were missed from a flock belonging to the prose-
cutors, which were in a field at Rye-park the previous night.
Inquiries were directly made in the neighbourhood as to any
parties who had been seen in the neighbourhood, and upon
whom any suspicion might by possibility fall. It then
seemed that on the afternoon of the 30th of June the pri-
soner was seen drinking at a public-house at Culmstock, some
short distance from the estate of the prosecutor; he after-
wards rode away upon a bay horse. About 11 o'clock that
night he Caine again to the public-house, and said he had
been riding 42 miles. After taking refreshment, he went
away, riding in a direction towards the prosecutor's. He had
not any sheep with him at that time. About 4 o'clock the
next morning a person who lived on the road between Rye-
park and the prisoner's house was disturbed by a noise; he
looked out of his window, and saw a man riding on a bay
horse and driving before him three sheep, and soon after
this the prisoner was seen near his own house driving time
sheep, and the man said to him, " Well, butcher, where did
you buy , these ?" to which the prisoner answered, " At
Taunton. In consequence of these circumstances, suspicion
attached to the prisoner, who was a butcher. A search
warrant was obtained, and the carcases of three sheep were
found, and the heads corresponded with those which had been
stolen. _

The -jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced
to ten years transportation.
Elizabeth Richards was indicted for setting fire to a farm-
house at Tiverton on the sth June.
Mr. Tyrrell conducted the case for the prosecution, and
Mr. Cox defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prosecutor occupied a farm at Tiver-
ton ; the prisoner was in his service, she was only 15 years
of age, andihaving stayed out au night her mistress had
scolded her. On the night of the 4th of June an alarm of
fire was given, and it was found that the house was on fire
in four different places; the fire, however, was got under,
but the prosecutor and two other men sat up all night
watching the premises. No suspicion was then entertained
that the prisoner had anything to do with the fire. The
next night the prisoner herself told the prosecutor, that she
saw a light in the thatch, and that it was on fire. From
some particular circumstances the prosecutor was then in-
duced to suspect the prisoner. She was searched and a lu-
cifer match was found in her pocket. She said, " I had two
lucifer matches. I lighted one, and set fire to the straw. I
hope you will forgive me."
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but begged to re-
commend the prisoner to mercy on account of her youth. In
this recommendation the prosecutor joined.
The Learned BARON, who was dreadfully affected, ordered
her to be brought up for sentence to-morrow, but at a late
hour in the evening his Lordship directed judgment of death
to be recorded against her.
Two women were convicted of setting fire to a rick, and
were sentenced to fifteen years transportation.

bed with Mary Harvey, one of 11-srvans. About
four o'clock on the morning of the 11th of March, Harvey
was awoke by the groans of the prisoner, who said she had
the spasms. Harvey offered to get up and make her some
tea, but she would not allow her to do so. Harvey got up
early, leaving the prisoner in bed. About seven o'clock
Harvey went up stairs and told her that they all believed
something wrong had happened. The prisoner assured her she
was mistaken, and asked her how she could accuse her of
such a thing. About eight o'clock one of the servants went
into the bedroom and saw the prisoner put a bundle into her
box. Harvey then went into the room again, and said
they were positive that she had been confined or had mis •
carried, and she insisted upon looking into her box. The
prisoner said, " Well, Harvey, if you must, you must,,,
• and she unlocked her box, and said, " Now I'm ruined
for ever; what shall I do?" As soon as the box was
opened the body of a newly-born child was seen. The
, prisoner said, "There's the baby; I'm happy to say I used
no violence towards it." Under the belay different baby
clothes were found. The prisoner said she had been deli-
vered at 4 o'clock that morning, and that the body had lain
by her side till 8 o'clock, when she put it into her box. The
surgeon deposed that the child was still-born. From all the
circumstances it was evident that the unfortunate girl had
made preparation for the birth, and that had the child been
born alive she would have taken care of it; but it being
still-born, she had clung to the hope that her character
might yet be preserved, for no one had suspected her condi-
tion, and her character stood high, and therefore she had then
determined if possible to conceal her shame, and had not ac-
quainted her fellow-servant with the fact. The case was a
most pitiable one. The Learned Counsel was completely
overcome by his emotion,the Witnesses were in team and
