CHARGE OF STEALING A BOlLER.—henry Hassuk, a
metal deal.er and brassfounder, of No. 1, Tooks-place,
West Ferry-road, Poplar, and who was also stated to be
deputy-chairman of the Eastern Music-hall, was brought
before Mr. Benson, on remand, charged with feloniously
receiving,well knowing to be stolen, a large copper boiler
the property of Mr. Edwin Wright, a rope-maker, in
Poplar.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor stated that the copper boiler stolen from
his yard was said to be worth £l5, on the first investiga-
tion its actual value was .£25. It was in his yard when
stolen, and Mr. Richard Bray, foreman to Mr. Wright,
said the copper boiler was stolen on Saturday the 12th
instant, and he gave information to the police. He sub-
sequently traced the copper to the premises of the prisoner.
The prisoner declined to give any information about his
possession of the copper boiler, and said it is a matter of
indifference to you how 1 became possessed of the boiler
or how long I have had it. It has been in my possession
18 months or two years.
Mr. Benson said he must have a better account of the
prisoner's possession of the boiler. It could not have been
stolen and removed by one person. He remanded the pri-
soner for another week. He would accept of substantial
bail.

HUGO. PIERSON'S NAVAL ODE.

The musical public will no doubt be glad to learn,
on authority, some particulars regarding a patriotic
song which has recently excited much attention.
Hugo Pierson's naval ode, " Ye Mariners of Eng-
land," was written at Wurzburg in 1859 ; the war
between France and Austria had just commenced,
and the director of the Vocal Society (Liedertafel)
at Wurzburg, Herr Brand, who was about to give
a concert for the benefit of the wounded in the
Austrian army, requested Pierson to let this song,
with a German translation of the words by the cele-
brated lyric poet (Ludwig Bauer) be included in
the programme. The performance, with chorus
and orchestra ou a large scale, was very successful
(though there was no time for more than a
hurried rehearsal), and was received with enthu-
siasm and a double da cape. The music was
first published under the title of " Beharrlich," at
Wurzburg ; subsequently the German copyright
was purchased by a great firm (Schuberth and Co.)
at Leipzig, and the piece soon became a standing
favourite with all the vocal societies of Germany
and America. It then appeared, with Campbell's
poetry, in London, as song and mixed chorus or
quartet, and was first performed (under the direc-
tion of Mr. Benedict) at St. James's Hall and the
Crystal Palace, where it was received with acclama-
tions. A year later ii was given at a banquet
at the Freemasons' Tavern, when the Swedish
Ambassador, who was present, was so struck
with it that he remarked, " It is no wonder that
the British navy should be invincible if such
music as that is composed in its praise." "Ye
Mariners" was perforated at the Norwich Musical
Festival in 1860 with the same result, viz., enthu-
siastic applause, and "Da Capo," the audience
joining in with the chorus in the last verse. In the
Leipzig edition this song is entitled " Deutsche
Volkshyrnne" (German popular anthem), and is
published at New York as " the Atnetican Banner,
patriotic hymn of the United States." There are
nine different editions of it extant, of which four
are German, three American, and two English. At,
Paris, where it was performed some months ago at
a soirée musicale given by M. de Vitry, it was una-
nimously pronounced " the German Marseillaise."
"Ye Mariners" is, however, decidedly English in
character, and could only have been written by an
English composer. The flue poem attached to it as
" the Ameriean Banner" is (though this is not ge-
nerally known) by Mr. Dallas.—Musical Standard.

A SPIZING cONG T MIDSUMMER.

The following char./Aug translation appears,
here, in our columns for the first time—and it
does so not inappropriately in the midst of the
present spring-like approach of Midsummer. It
is from the pen of a tine poet, Denis Florence
McCarthy—the Irish lyrist who has already
translated so exquisitely various masterpieces from
the French of Andre Chewier and from the Spa-
nish of Pedro Calderon. The vernal stanzas,
thus daintily " done into English " by the Irish
Poet, are from the delicate and delicious French
original of M. le Chevalier de Chatelain. They
are entitled "In the Forest," and run as fol-

[Ol4B :--

Hark ! on my ear,
Pleasant and clear,
The jocund voice of Spring doth fall
Fancy then rise,
Mount to the skibs,
And follow Nature's tuneful call.

Scarce is the porch
01 the peen church
Thrown open where the blithe birds pray,
When each ono sings,
Rustling his wings,
And with a hymn salutes the day.

Up from the wold,
A Blondin bold,
The squirrel climbs to the top of the tree,
Woe to its guests
In their soft nests,
For ah ! a hungry hunter is he.

Green grows the grass,
While, as they pass,
The Zephyrs strew the earth with flowers,
Or softly spread
Moss for the tread
Of Beauty's feet in the noontide hours.
See the young bee,
Careless and free,
Sips from the cup of each opening flower,
But since he knows
Summer soon goes,
He bears the sweets to his winter bower.

Up the lark springs.
Sweet the merle sings ;
Then from some covert out of view
Softly data float—
Rings the strange note—
Echoes the cry, Cuckoo ! cuckoo !

On the sweet broom,
Breathing perfume, -
The butterfly rests in the noontide's glare,
Or s ith his bride
Floating beside,
Wing touching wing, he frolics in air.

Murmuring sweet,
Sparkling and fleet,
The river glides, and its bright waves gleam,
And the young bird's flight
Is stayed at the sight
As he stoops to drink of so clear a stream•

The evening breeze
Sings to the trees
The sweetest music that ever was heard,
And its lullaby,
When night is nigh,
Brings happy sleep to beast and bird.

Save that the night
Rath its own delight,
For the Night-bird then displays his ait,
And with poet skill
Sends a throb and a thrill
Of sweet emotion to every heart.

Such are the pure
Joys that allure
When Spring's sweet call bids the flowers to rise;
When thought doth spring,
Upon Nature's wing,
To seek and be lost in the azure skies!

The above poem, in its original form and under
its title Dans la Foret-Resurrection, appeared very
recently in the Jersey Constitutionnel.

SPIRITUALISM.

That such a man as Professor Varley, the elec-
trician, should declare his belief in spiritualiSm, has
surprised slot a few, and.called forth many comments
from the Press. The professor writes, vindicating
his belief. He commences by the statement that
there are very few,families some members of whom
have not received .an, unaccountable, intuitive com-
munication announcing: the death of some near
relative who has. departed this life, far from the
friend who.has received the notice of his removal.
There are great number of men, moreover, he
goes on to say,- who- - will whisper privately
of manifestations' which they have witnessed, but
who do not care to become food for laughter by
making their experiences public. Joan of Arc died
declaring that she had heard voices from God spealc-
ingto7her. 'Wesley was a witness of the phenomena
called " raps," and: some of- his family were rapping
media. Swedenborg was also a conscious clairvoyant.
The 'aim " mesmerists ", have been proved to be
true men; and there are many medical men who at
the present discuss these matters seriously, but who,
from business considerations, do not care to tell to
their elientg or to the world the whole truth._ _ . _

DUBLIN ELECTION.

There is a very sore feeling in Dublin about the
continued suspension of the writ. It appears that
fifteen freemen were proved to have been bribed at
the last election, and Justice Keogh intimated his
belief that a good many more of the same claw of
electors had been guilty of the same offence. Con-
sequently there are three courses open to the
Government : to order the - Attorney-General to
prosecute the few rascals who have been named ; to
proceed by the old law of a joint address to the
Grown to appoint a commission of inquiry; to. pass
the bill of fir George Grey disfranchising them
without investigation; or to do nothing at all. The
first of these courses would achieve no perceptible good,
a-nd the last wouhl be a shameful falsification of all
!iie promises of purity made by the late Parliament.
EL+. a cornmiss:on of inquiry, undsr,the old sOteute,
wouj hardly be refused by the Upper House, and
the iss:le of the writ might remain suspended until
nil the d,ilinquents were discovered and struck off

effect just now, for they are chiefly Protestants

A BISHOP'S PLAN FOR CHURCH F.:XTENSION.

The Bishop of Lichfield on Monday addressed a
meeting, at Derby, to consider the best means of
increasing the number of churches in his diocese
The Duke of Devonshire, who presided over th(
meeting, having spoken of the want of churches in
.the diocese and the need of money to build, thf
Bishop, who followed his Grace, impressed upon
ills bearers the value of house-to-house visitations
They should go from house to house for money, and
though they only got at each place small donations
little things mounted up to large ones. If the plan
he advocated were adopted they would soon hay,
churches sufficient for their need.

THE ITALIAN REPUBLICANS.

Our Rome correspondent states that Garibaldi's health
is completely restored, and that he has been able to
resume his agricultural employments, in which he takes
great interest. A French man-of-war put into Capreia
the other day, and the officers wished to visit the General,
but he declined receiving them. Mazzini is said to be in
Italy again- of course, in disguise ; but of this no certainty
exists. Anaiglioni, the notorious conspirator, who planned
the Serristori mine explosion, has been assassinated at
Florence. As this patriot betrayed his comrades to save
his own life, and as he has ever since 'been in hiding on
the Italian frontier, it is believed that he has at length
fallen a victim to Republican vengeance.

BETTING IIOrSES.

The Te.legraph investigates the question whether
the betting agents now charged with committing an
offence against the law ate or are not guilty. 'With-
out giving any opinion on a matter which is now
sub judice, the bearing of the case may be pointed
out. Messrs. Wright, Smith, and Morris, who aro
charged with illegal gaming, are betting agents, i.e.,
they receive money from certain clients, withinstruc-
tions how to lay, and at the post on the racing day
they stake this money for their clients. If the
horse on whom the stake is laid loses, of
course the client loses all his money ; if the
horse wins, he receives the olds, less commis-
sion. The section under which the agents are
prosecuted prohibits the keeping of any otlice " for
the purpose of any money or valuable thing being
received by or on behalf of such owner, occupier,
keeper, or person aforesaid, as or for the considera-
tion for any assurance, undertaking, or promise,
or agreement, express or implied, to pay or give
thereafter any money or valuable thing,
on any event or contingency of or relating
to any horserace." The question is whether the
agents, according to the Act, agree to give or pay
anything contingently on the event of certain races.
The men argue that they do not, and that they only
agree to hand over money won by their client, and
never in their own possession.

FOREIGN NOTES.
AMERICAN AID TO CUBA.
The other day we announced by cable telegram that
thirteen expeditions bearing aid to the Cuban insurgents
had left American ports. It appears that seven of these
sailed from New York. Some never reached their desti-
nation ; Lut the net result has been that very material
assistance has been afforded to the insurrection. _Thirty
thousand stand of arms, six batteries of artillery, and a
large quantity of ammunition and commissary stores have
been safely transported to the revolutionary camps. Some
good authorities aver that the insurgent army contains
snore Americans than Cubans. Well may the creoles take
heart.

THE OCCUPATION OF ROME.

The issue of the French elections seems to have caused
quite a panic at Rome respecting the probable withdrawal
of the French troops. Our kome • correspondent writes
that a few days ago it rose to such a height that Cardinal
Antonelli telegraphed to the Nuncio in Paris for a specific
answer as to the Emperor's intentions regarding the
future. The answer was clear and concise. " His
Majesty contemplates no present change of policy in
regard to the Holy-See." Notwithstanding this, there
exists very little confidence in the continuance of French
protection.

TIIE BINGLEY BOILER EXPLOSION.

- The Times has a very strongly-worded leader on
the Bingley •boiler explosion. It points out that
there was a double- culpable negligence. The
boiler was so faulty that the only wonder is the
explosion was delayed so long, and the person
in char,-;,e of it WS quite incompetent. It is almost
certain that nearly all the boiler explosions are pre-
ventable, and that thus well-nigh eighty lives a year
are sacrificed by the negligence or the parsimony of
manufacturers.
THE PREVENTING OF COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS.

The Ircred contained a good piece of news yester-
day morning. A Mr. Arthur Gilmore writes from
the Carlton Club that he has discovered a lamp
whose lock cannot be tampered with without causing
the instant extinction of the light. If this should
prove simple and cheap enough for adoption, it will
be one of the most beneficial discoveries in the
present decade.

A FENIAN CONSUL FOP. OLASCOW.

Mr. James Hagge: ty, a Fenian, and not the least noisy
of . that noble race, has been appointed United States
Consul at Glasgow. This bestowal of an important office
upon a Fenian nut unnaturally gives rise, amongst the loyal
Scotch, to much wrath. Against this excitement, how-
ever, the New York Times protests. It. does not
precisely see why the present consul, Mr. Duff,
who served under General Grant, should be
replaced ; but it presumes that the President knew
nothing of Haggerty's antecedents, and is certain that his
appointmentis no insult. "If ever Grant should intend
to ' insult the British nation, he will be likely to take
some other way of doing it than by sending an objection.

REFORM IN FRANCE.

" 'What will the Emperor do ?" is a question which
acquires increasing interest in France, and according to
those who profess to know the inner life of the Tuileries,
nobody pays greater attention to this problem than the
Emperor himself. The Daily News correspondent is
" credibly informed" that at a Cabinet Council held on
Saturday the political situation was the chief topic. It
VMS agreed that the Empire had a difficult future before
it, but that further concessions would be inconsistent with
the safety of the Government. "However, as an effort mutt
be made to rally the working classes in the large towns,
M. Rouher proposes as his panacea what he terms free
trade a l'interieur. The big questions of octroi duties
and a redistribution of imposts hinge upon this pro-
gramme, which chimes in with some financial schemes
over which the Emperor has been for some time ponder-
ing." Of course, the great difficulty to be overcome arises
from the fact that the expenses of the Empire-are much
greater than its receipts, and that burdens cannot be taken
off one class without throwing them upon another.

-- • The-Daily Telegraph says: " It is thouglA if
the Lords should handle the details of the Irish
Church Bill in a practical spirit, with a view
to business-like progress, the session may be brought
to a close by the first week in August. But if, on
the contrary, they should - such alterations in
committee as would raise comnlieqted ouestioul w;4l-

sibly terminate until a considerably later.period.' In
other words, if their lordships behave themselves
they will 'be able to book themselves for the limited
mail to the North for the week ending August 11th
If they are frletious they will be compelled to spend
the sacred 12th August (more sacred by far than the

DISESTABLISII3IENT..

The House of Commons was enlivened a little on
Monday night by a debate on-the disestablishment of a
metropolitan church. The church of All Saints, Bishop a-
gate, has a large endowment, a complete array of
clergy, and next to no congregation. The extension
of the Great Eastern Railway renders it necessary
to remove the building • and, since the wor-
shirm—s have dwindled down to a mere handful
1 nas been pro...l:we:a 'wilt -Lae eonlins.a,:bn
money from the railwey company should Le
levoted to the erection, not of another church,
but of new schools. In order, however, that
no cause of complaint may be given to the
fifteen or twenty people who worship at All Saints,
a chapel will be added to the schools for the celebra-
tion of Divine service on Sundays. A bill to effect
that purpose was sanctioned by the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners, and by the late Bishop of London,
now Archbishop of Canterbury ; it was not opposed
by the present Bishop of London; and it was passed
through the Upper House. But on the third read-
ing in the Lower house it was opposed. Somebody
seems to have fearid that this was but getting in the
lever by which the English Church, as a whole,
would be overthrown. A House, however, which has
passed the Irish Church Bill would hardly be likely
to be frightened by a cry of sacrilege when the
bishops have sanctioned the proposed seoularisat:.ca.
So the bill was passed by ar. •_ovcrenclming
mai ority.

CLERICAL PROSECUTIONS.
Five members of the Episcopal Bench are apt nv,
indulging in the costly luxury of a clericai rosecu-
tion. The Archbishop of York said the (Maar ct,y
that he had three in hand—that of Mr. Voysey for
heresy is one of them ; the others are not stated.
The Bishop of London is about to prosecute Mr.
Lowder for non-compliance with the Ritual judg-
ment; the Bishop of Bath and Wells, it is now
stated, is prosecuting Mr. Bennett, of Frome,
for teaching the doctrine of the Beal Presence,
though we had supposed this duty devolved upon the
Bishop of London; the Bishop of Chichester is pro-
secuting Mr. Purchas, of Brighton, and the Bishop
of Winchester Mr. Wix, of the Isle of Wight, for
Ritualism. It will be seen that the High Church
party (who, by the way, set the example of appeal-
ing to the law courts) are having a by no means easy
time.

THE CROPS IN THE NORTH OF IRELAND.

In the North of Ireland this year the potato crop
promises to be one of the finest since 1842. Very
little disease, and a heavy and healthy crop, make the
lands in which this root is growing the most
encouraging of all the farmer possesses. The
wheat in the North is also very fine. The Northern
Whig says that throughout the counties of Down,
Antrim, and Armagh, which produce two-thirds of
all the wheat that is annually raised in the province,
the prospects of ample yield are exceedingly favour-
able. No complaints are heard of the oat crop,
which was got in at a good time, and is now doing
well.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1869

Every one who is familiar with the appearance of
the House of Lords during any sitting of more than
ordinary importance cannot but have a very lively
remembrance of the fact that, as a Legislative Cham-
ber, it is virtually Headless. In the House of Com-
mons matters are altogether differently arranged.
There, the Speaker presides with authority. Con-
fronting him, the Sergeant-at-Arms—something like
Mr. PELL'S high official friend in armour and silk
stockings (vide " Pickwick")—sits there nightly dur-
ing the session, without the armour, it is true, but
with the silk stockings, and having that little spind.
ling Court sword at his side, which is worn,
we presume, as a symbol of his (the Ser-
geant-at-Arms') authority. Regulating always
at his own free will and pleasure the sequence
of the debaters taking part in any discussion, the
Speaker can always prevent, by a glance of the cye,
or by one spoken word (a name) the risk of any un-
seemly coot ent'en amorg those who ire desirous cf
claiming the attention, or, iu other words, of obtain-
ing the ear, of Parliament. Whenever there is a
question of Order, or, to speak more accurately, when-
ever there is a doubt as to its having been violated,
one sentence from the lips of the Speaker is sufficient
to restore tranquillity, even in the midst of the
angriest dispute. His word is the law. He is, there,
we repeat, presiding over the proceedings of the
House of Commons at all times—with authority. In
recognition of this every word uttered while he is in
the Chair is, as though it were, addressed to himself
alone, and to him individually. Throughout the whole

SPIRITUALISM.

That such a man as Professor Varley, the elec-
trician, should declare his belief in spiritualism, has
surprised not a few, and called forth many comments
from the Press. The professor writes, vindicating
his belief. He commences by the statement that
there are very few families some members of whom
have not received an unaccountable, intuitive com-
munication announcing the death of some near
relative who has departed this life, far from the
friend who has received the notice of his removal.
There are a great number of men, moreover, he
goes on to sly, who will whisper privately
of manifestations which they have witnessed, but
who do not care to become food for laughter by
making their experiences public. Joan of Are died
declaring that she had heard voices from God speak-
ing to her. Wesley w:ls a witness of the phenomena.
called " raps," and some of his family were rapping
media. Swedenborg was also a conscious clairvoyant.
The Indian " mesmerists" have been proved to be
true men; and there are many medical men who at
the present discuss these matters seriously, but who,
from business considerations, do not c..re to tell to
their clients or to the world the whole truth.

COMMON-LAW BUSINESS.

The pressure of common-law business has increased
so greatly that the judges are looking about them for
means of relief. To get rid of special business they
have introduced a reform which will male 'men of
the old school sigh. It has .been the custom-for the
chief of the Court of Queen's Ilene: to try all special
jury cases. Put now a puisne judg►e is engaged in
doing half the work. Clearly some menn3 must be
taken to shorten the law's delays. •

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotalion of gold at Paris is about at par, and
t to shert exchange on London La 251. 251 per .E 1 sterling
Un comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is of high r value in London than
in Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60
days' sight was on the 14th inst. about (VI per cent. At this rate
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the Unitod

- In to-day's sitting of the Cortes, Senor Balaguer
asked the Government whether it were true that
France had taken the Carlist movement under her

General Prim replied in the negative, adding
that the movement would certainly be suppressed.
The debate on the Constitution was then re-
sumed. An amendment of Senor Orense to the
preliminary article of the Constitution, prejudging
the question of the form of Government, was re-
jected. The first Article was agreed to after re-
placing the word " monarchy " by the word

ME FREI\ CH ATL: X7lO CABLE.

SHEERNESS, April 15.

The manufacture of the French Atlantic cable is
rapidly approaching its completion. Up to yester-
day the total length manufactured was 3,033 nauti-
cal miles—namyly, 2,314 miles of the section in-
tended to be laid between Brest and St. Pierre, and
716 miles of the section between St. Pierre and the
United States. Only 474 miles of the former sec-
tion and 57 of the latter remain to be completed.
The whole length of the core for both sections has
been finished to-day at the Gutta Percha Works.
The Great Eastern has taken on board 1,750 miles
of the first section, and the steamer Seanderia 450
miles of the second section.

GRANTS TO SCOTLAND.

It does really seem that it is an evil thing for
England that it is not Ireland or Scotland just now.
Mr. Lowe has been closing his fist very tightly when
money has been asked forany English institu-
tion. Compare this with Scotland. The amount to
be voted this year for the new Glasgow University
Buildings is £20,000; and for the Industrial Museum,
Edinburgh, £lO,OOO. The Aberdeen C ourt-houses
also are to get £lO,OOO ; and the total estimate for
Court-houses in Scotland is £20,048.

SCOTCH GAME LAWS.
The Scotch game laws, as they now stand, have
found a very warm advocate in Mr. Horatio Ross, who
writes to the Times at great length on the grie-
vances of landowners and sportsmen. He has not,
he tells us, missed a season on the moors of Scotland
for the last fifty-five years, and for forty-five years
he has rented either a grouse moor or a deer forest,
so that he claims to be well informed on the matter.
He considers that if any of the bills now before Par-
liament for the reform of the Scotch game laws
should be carried, a " healthful, charming recreation "
will be destroyed, and a serious injury inflicted on the
owners of property, Mr. Locke's bill, which he admits
to be the most popular of the three bills introduced
on this subject, is also, in his estimation, the most
objectionable. The arguments which he adduces
against it are likely, however, to have more weight
with sportsmen than with the general public.
The clause which cancels in existing leases
the agreement made by the landowners with
their tenants with regard to game, he holds to be
a " monstrous case of breach of covenant," and the
power given to farmers to claim damages for injury to
their crops from neighbouring proprietors would, he
thinks, lead to endless litigation. He reminds the
farmers that the rural districts of Scotland have been
greatly benefited by the annual influx of sportsmen,
and assures them that, if they push matters too far,
landlords will farm their own lands, or grant yearly
leases.

LEGAL TECENICALITIES.

Lord Campbell, in " Life of Lord Brougham,"
just issued, relates some curious stories of how the
latter peer had behaved in his first circuit. He had
to defend several criminal cases. There wasrougi that of a
man charged with stealing a sheep,
took objection to the indictmentLordn
the
ground thatßi
it did not specify whether the sheep was a tupolavin
e
or wether, arguing that if the indictment, had
simply said " animal," it would not have been
sufficient.! -We are told the legal' mind of
the judge was at first much exercised until
the prosecuting counsel pointed out the words of the
statute. Then a man was charged with stealing
" boots," and it turned out that he had purloined
" half-boots." The then Mr. Brougham made the
obvious objection, and persisted in it until the
judge, finding out that he was being played with,
put down the counsel with much assumed dignity,
Something of the kind has just taken place at Bir-
mingham. Two prisoners were charged with steal-
ing " deal boards fixed to a building." That they
had stolen certain boards was proved ; but the
Recorder, who was trying the case, discovered that
what they had taken was " woodwork belonging to a
building." And so the prisoners were let loose. What
a good thing it must be for a man to have a legal
education. The sight of a mere layman could not
possibly have seen through these deal boards.

THE PARADISE OF DRUNKARDS.

The following advertisement (omitting the address)
appears in one of the morning papers :—" Intemper-
ance.—A clergyman, residing in one of the Orkney
Islands, offers a home for a gentleman given to the
above. There is no temptation within reach.
Climate mild and healthy. Highest references.
Communications considered confidential." The
Orcadians seem to be in the same happy condition
as their brethren in race the rural Norwegians, free
from the temptations of the bcershop and the gin
palace. It is, in fact, a paradise of drunkards, a
place in which they regain lost soberness, health,
and happiness.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.--AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed eases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 1344., and three quantities in one,
2s. 90. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.
NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
railed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
zumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at is. lid., 2s. 9d., and lls. each, in
every town in the kingdom.

CA UTION.
Be sure to ask for " NORTON'S PILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
' Norton's Camomile Pills."
