THE PURE FLUID MAGNESIA of Sir
JAMES MURRAY, M.D., re-carbonated, sparklitr,

processes (1859), which render it perfectly effective for pre-
venting or removing acidities, gout, gravel, and indigestion,
thus supplanting debilitating alkalies.

TFREcK OF THE ROYAL CHARTER.

Mr. Weldon sends his compliments to the editor
of The Sun, and hopes that he will find a space for
the accompanying letter, es:c.
" Sir,—Our attention has been directed to the
copy of draft of memorial in the Liverpool Mercury,
of March 8, suggested by you in reference to the unre-
covered property in the wreck of the Royal Charter.
While fully aware that your efforts are prompted
alone by a benevolent feeling for the unhappy suf-
ferers, there are someinaccuracies in your proposed
memorial, which you will, we are sure, allow us to
correct.

" The salvage operations, which were necessarily
discontinued during the winter, are now being re-
sumed by us. The ship's manifest, which has just
come to hand, shows that there still remains a defi-
ciency of gold of £24,000, for which bills of lading
are held, and which we must endeavour to recover
for the underwriters and others interested.

" As regards the amount of passengers' money
on board, we:only know what the Rev. Mr. Hodge
states in his diary, viz., that about £7,000 was
placed by passengers under the captain's care ; this,
of course, we are also hoping to recover.
" You may rely upon our best exertions in this
matter, as we have endeavoured. throughout to leave
nothing undone to relieve the distress which this
terrible calamity has occasioned.—We are, &c.,

GIBBS, BRIGHT, & CO.
" Rev. R. G. Weldon, Rose Mount, Girvan."
Under these circumstances, which are very far
different from what the newspaper reports led me
to suppose, and which could not, I dare say, be
contradicted till the arrival of the Australian mail,
and as Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. hold so de-
servedly high a place in the mercantile world, and
pledge themselves in the above letter to do their
utmost to recover the property, I do not see how
the Government rightly could interfere, were it
advisable for them to dci so • far conflicting interests
would be created, and the efforts soon to be resumed
to recover the property might thereby be baffled, if
not set aside. I conceive, therefore, that I best serve
the interests of the sufferers by not presenting the
memorial to the Treasury, but by leaving the mat-
ter—where I have every confidence in leaving it—
in the hands of the agents who have thus come
forward with a promise to do their best, which does
them infinite credit, and which I must say they
have already, as far as they were able, fulfilled.
I cannot take leave of this sad matter, which I

trust, under God's good providence, may yet turn
out better than has been anticipated, without thank-
ing Sir James Ferguson, Bart., M.P. ; H. J. Rollo,
Esq., W.S., of Edinburgh ; and his friend, Mr.
Maconochic, of the English bar, for their kind aid
and sympathy is my exertions to recover the pro-
perty.—l am, &c.,
(Signed), "R. G. WELDON.

out, of course, counting exemptions, the number
of 600,000 at the outside. In a general point of
view, the levy of 100,000 men ought, therefore, to
be considered as an act of prudent foresight ; for
does it not prevent the calling out, at a subsequent
period, of 140,000 men—an enormous number,
which causes perturbation in families by weighing
too heavily and unexpectedly upon one and the
same class ?"

BOURSE, April 3.—The market has been very

STAMPED NEWSPAPERS.

" A Poor Country Rector," in a letter to a con-
temporary, says—After reading your article upon,
and the description given in your paper of the
General Post-office, I may hope that you will speak
a word against the proposed withdrawal of the 14
days' free currency now granted to " stamped
newspapers." The effect of such withdrawal will
be to deprive all those, who, like myself, live in the
country remote from towns and railways, and whose
income is too small to allow of their taking in a
London paper on their " own account," of seeing a
newspaper at all. Since the abolition of the " penny
tax on knowledge," country-town friends have
ceased to send us their papers, not caring to be at
the trouble or expense of fixing a postage stamp
upon them ; and now country neighbours who, by
means of the local post, are enabled to join in a
London paper must dissolve partnership. The
remission of the " penny tax" was no boon to us ;
but, as above, a positive loss. It was, however, no
injustice, and, therefore, we had no reason to com-
plain. The reposting of stamped newspapers can
very little affect the General Post-office, the great
bulk of such retransmission passing through coma-
try post-offices. The withdrawal of the present
privilege is but a very shabby piece of economy in
itself, and cruelly oppressive to those who are
already overburdened. Very likely—like " rags"
in the treaty—Mr. Gladstone may have overlooked
this view of. the case.

THE ASHCOMBE MURDER.—Serafitl Manzano,
the Spaniard accusad of the murder of Anatesia Trow-
bridge, in Ashcombe Wood, has been convicted of this most
cruel and atrocious deed. The evidence, although circum-
stantial, was very conclusive, and the able and learned
judge who tried the ease expressed his concurrence in the
verdict, and added that if he had been on the jury he should
have found the same verdict. For the honour of our coun-
try we are glad that the prisoner has had a fair, a patient,
and an impartial trial. It is also highly creditable to the
Spanish consulate in London that no expense was spared in
order to defend the unhappy man, and no one could go fur-
ther in endeavouring to procure an acquittal than did the
learned counsel who was retained for him. But the facts
against the prisoner were irresistible. We understand
that Wednesday, the 11th of April, is the day fixed for the
execution, which will take place at Devizes Gaol. The last
execution in this county took place at Fisherton Gaol, on
the 27th of March, 18ao, when William Wright suffered
the last penalty of the law for the murder of a woman
named Ann Collins, of Lydiard Tregooze, near Swimion.
The last execution at Devizes was tho of Rebecca Smith;
for the murder of her infant, at Westbury. She was hung
on the 23d of August, 1849,—,Salisbury Journal.

LEGAL REFORMS IN INDIA.

The Marquis of CLANRICAR DE said he had given
notice for returns from Mr. E. H. Lushington to the Com-
missioner of the Mudda district, dated 23d of October,
1859, and relating to the treatment of natives by European
planters in India, and also that he intended to present
a petition from certain natives of India, praying for legal
reforms and their admission into higher offices of Govern-
ment than are now open to them ; but owing to the
absence of the Earl of Ellenborough and, several noble
lords who took an interest in the subject, and the very
small number of peers present he should postpone his mo-
tion until after Easter.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he should also
postpone the presentation of a petition he had in his posses-
sion on the same subject.
Their lordships then adjourned.

COUNCIL OF THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF

INDIA.

Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India
whether it was his intention to bring in a bill in the course
of the present session for the reconstruction of the Council
of the Governor-General of India, and whether he intended
to bring in a bill for the amendment of the laws relating to
the civil service in India ?
Sir C. WOOD said the subjects alluded to had been
under the consideration of her Majesty's Government, and
it was his intention to bring in a bill relative to them after
Easter. In the state of public business it was not in his
power to do so at an earlier period of the session.
THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.—RE-
London, England, 1860-04-04

THAMES.

ROBBBRY AT A LINENDRAPER'S Suor.—Two young
women, named Ellen Markham and Mary Briant, were
brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing 44 yards
of cotton print, the property of Messrs. Haddock and Til-
by, linendrapers of Grosvenor House, Grosvenor-place,
Commercial-road East, where several robberies have been
committed owing to the mischievous practice so often con-
demned by the magistrates of this court of exposing goods
for sale on chairs upon the pavement outside the shop.
It appeared that a boy named Linford was watching the
goods exposed for sale yesterday evening, and saw the
woman Markham looking at some cotton print, and ex-
amining it. About an hour afterwards he saw the prisoners
running past the shop and down Grosvenor-street, and at
the same time missed two pieces of cotton print from a
chair. He followed the prisoners, and saw them enter the
Green Dragon tavern, near Stepney Church. He waited
some time, and when they came out they
proceeded towards Mile •end-road, and entered a
beer shop. The boy waited until he saw a
police-constable and gave them into custody. The property
was not found upon them. On returning to the Green
Dragon the five pieces of cotton print belonging to the pro-
secutors were found under a form in the tap-room, where
the prisoners had been.

Miss Ellen Moore, the barmaid at the Green Dragon,
said the two prisoners entered the house and called for a
half quartern of rum. One had something concealed under
her apron, and the other something secreted under her
shawl. They went into the tap-room, and after they had
quitted the plaoo two pieces of cotton print were discovered
under one of the seats.

The property was produced and identified by the boy
Linford.

Inspector Grifltu said the woman Briant had been in cus-
tody for shoplifting and also for uttering base coin.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that Markham had
been summarily convicted before, and he believed more
than once.

The prisoners pleaded guilty.
Mr. Yardley said Markham appeared to be the leader in
this affair, and was an old offender, and ha should make a
difference in the punishment of the prisoners. He sen-
tenced Markham to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour
for six calendar months, and Briant„,vho was not known
before, to four menths' imprisonrue,nt and hard labour.
He was glad to hear that no expenses were allowed at the
Sessions where shopkeepers exposed goods for sale outside
their shops, and he would allow none in this case.

His Royal Highness Prince Alfred will be con-
firmed on Thursday next in the private chapel of 'Windsor
Castle.

CENT'RAL CR.

rßT—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Williams.)
THE CASE OP THE REV. MR. HATCH

The grand jury having yesterday found a true bill against
Eugenia Plummer, who was the principal witness against
the Rev. Mr. Hatch, who was convicted of an indecent as-
sault upon her, the particulars of which have so repeatedly
been before the public,
Mr. Cooper this morning applied to the Court to fix the
amount of bail, as he was desirous, on the part of the child
and her parents, who were most anxious to meet the charge,
that instead of a summons or a bench warrant issuing,
her father, who was in attendance, and now prepared to put
in any amount which the Court should think fit, might be
allowed to do so immediately.
Mr. Justice Williams said the application was no doubt
a reasonable one, but it was premature, and he could make
no order until some gentleman appeared on the part of the
prosecution.

THE CASE OF THE JOHN SUGARS.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said he was instructed to make
application to the Court to postpone the trial of a man
named Cox, who was, with four other seamen, charged
with conspiracy and perjury, till next session. The charge
arose out of the loss of a vessel called the John Sugars.
The preliminary investigation took place before Mr. Traill,
at Greenwich, and the result was the suspension of the cap-
tain's certificate by the Board of Trade for a year, and the
chief mate's for a month. The parties charged were the
sailors who gave evidence at the investigation, and as the
true bill on the seventh indictment had only been found last
night, he hoped the Court would postpone the trial until
next session, in order that he might have an opportunity
of ascertaining the precise nature of the charges preferred
against the defendants,

The application was granted.
THE CASE OP OUTXIND.
In the case of Gutkind, who was charged with felony in
not having surrendered to his bankruptcy, was called upon
to surrender and take his trial. Tha defendant did not
appear, and it was stated that he hail absconded and left
his bail in the lurch.

Mr. Sleigh made application that the riicog,nisances of
the bail be not entertained until next sessions.
The Court granted an order accordingly, and directed a
warrant to issue again> t the defendant in the meantime.

THE HOSTILITIES AT VERA CRUZ.

QUEENSTOWN, TUESDAY.

The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia
Company's screw steamer City of Baltimore, Cap-
tain Petrie, from New York on the 24th ultimo, has

arrived.

The City of Manchester and the Etna had ar-
rived out.

The bill for the suppression of polygamy had

failed.

VERA CRUZ, March 14.—Miramon commenced
the bombardment of this city yesterday, but caused
little damage. A detachment of Miramon's troops
have been completely routed by the Liberal
forces at Alverido. Communication with the in-
terior of the country is entirely cut off. The
city of Mexico, has pronounced against Miramon,
and his army, it is stated, is deserting him. A
flag of truce was sent to-day to Juarez, which re-
sulted in a suspension of hostilities.
It was reported that Miramon had abandoned
the siege, deserted his army, and taken refuge on
board a French ship of war.
A Washington correspondence, of the 23d ult.,
states that the capture of the steamers General
Miramon and Marquez by the American squadron
perplexes the administration, and if the charge of
piracy is sustained 200 prisoners must be hung.

Translated from the German at Dr. PICKFORD.

Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that thiliorafty not be the
last, if he shall detect any other (.qually flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."--London Medical Gazette.

"'The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the ficandalous practices of unwialified
adventurers, who profess to cure a diSease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular. •
" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pirkford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within thu reach of every one interested in the matter."—

ITALY.

Mr. RINGLAKE gave notice that after Easter he would

ask for some information in respect to the extraordinary
despatch of M. Thouvenel to Count de Persigny, dated the
26th ultimo.

THE TURKISH LOAN.

The following letter, in reference to the report
of a New Turkish Loan being in course of negotia-
tion in London, has been addressed by the Ambas-
sador of the Porte to Messrs. Dent and Palmer; the
agents for the Turkish Loans of 1854 and 1858 :
" Bryanston-square, April 2, 1860.
" Gentlemen,—ln consequence of the application that
you made to me respecting a rumour which was being cir-
culated, to the effect that the Imperial Government was
engaged in negotiating a new loan—a rumour which ap-
peared to me the more incredible as the terms stated to have
been offered by the Government were most onerous—l ad-
dressed myself to the Imperial Ministry for Foreign Affairs
upon the subject, and having now received its reply, dated
the 21st ult., I hasten to inform you that I am thereby
authorised to officially and publicly deny the truth of this

rumour.
" If, therefore, you think it necessary, you may now re-
assure the public mind upon this matter.--I have the
honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
" Cr MITSURIJS.

CORK AND BANDON.

The report of the directors states that the receipts
for the half-year ending the 31st of December last
amounted to £8,362 as against £7,856 for the cor-
respondening period of 1858, showing an increase
of £506. The revenue for the half-year showed
a profit, after providing for all expenses, of £2,195
applicable for dividend, which the directors recom-
mended to be paid on the No. 1 Preference Shares,
at 51 per cent., and on the N. 2 Preference Shares, at
6 per cont. per annum for the half-year ending the
31st of December last, being payable on the Ist of
March next. The works on tho Kinsale Junction
Railway were progressing satisfactorily. An in-
dependent company, the West Cork, were seeking
Parliamentary power to construct a railway from
Bandon to Skibbereen. They had lodged £14,800,
and had passed standing orders. The directors
trusted that nothing would occur to prevent this
extension of 44 miles of railway being made, as it
would materially improve the value of the com-
'my's property. The capital account showed that
£377,961, including £4,845 from revenue, had been
received, and £377,436 expended, leaving a ba-
lance of £498. The revenue account showed that
£8,370 had beeen received during the past half-
year, and £3,952 expended. leaving a balance of
£4,418.

GEELONG AND MELBOURNE.
The traffic returns on this line for the four
weeks curling Bth of Deeembtr last amounted to
£4,500, and the toll to Government £614, leaving
.0,886. The line was then in the hands of the
company. The Victoria Government had engaged
to bring in a bill for the purchase of the undertak-
ing, having required from the directors a formal
assurance that the shareholders would accept £2O
per share with arrears of interest. It was fully
believed that the exact terms and conditions would
be communicated to the English shareholders by
the following mail.

EXCHEQUER.

Lord PALMERSTON said that the house was piobably
aware of the illness of his right hon. friend the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, which rendered him unable to bripg for-
ward his financial statement this evening, according to the
arrangement that had been previously made and commu-
nicated to hon. members. However, he was happy to state
that there was every reason to believe that his right hon.
friend would be able to bring forward his statement on
Friday next.
Mr. DISRAELI wished to ask the noble lord (Pal-
merston) whether it was the intention of Govern-
ment to lay before the house the commercial treaty
with France, to which the attention of the country at
present was so earnestly directed.

Lord PALMERSTON said that the treaty would not b•
laid before the house until the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer made his financial statement on Friday evening.
(Cries of Oh, oh," from the Opposition benches.)

Capt. L. VERNON said that in consequence of the ill-
ness of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he would post-
pone his motion which stood on the paper for to-morrow
in reference to this subject.

THE-EAST.

Sir C. LEWIS said that he objected to the phraseology
used by the hon. member in speaking of the, disturbances
which had taken place in St. George's-in-the-East last
evening, which he designated an outrage. The measures
which he had instructed Sir Richard Mayne tn take
had been found efficient in preventing any serious outbreak
taking place. He regretted that the incumbent should
have persevered in a mode of religious ceremony which
was so displeasing to his parishioners. (Hear, hear.)
