PROTECTION OF PROPERTY ON RAILWAYS.—Mr.
Berry, solicitor to the London and North-Western Rail-
way, appeared on Wednesday before the Liverpool
police magistrates, to prosecute Isaac Holland, a berther
of waggons, who was charged with having broached a
cask of ale, which had been placed in one of the wag-
gons in his berthing section. The magistrate said that
the property of the public must be protected, and cora-

mitted the Prisoner to the sessions.
THE SHERIF, Or EDINBURGH. —We understand the
new Home Secretary, Mr. Walpole, has signalised hi 4
entrance on the duties of his office calling our sheriff,
Mr. Hal'ard, to account for one of his many extraor-

dinary judgments in the Police Court. It appears tha
be imprisoned a highly respectable servant girl for 30
days because she picked up a shilling from the floor of
a shop on which it had been dropped, as she supposed,
by herself, but according to other evidence by a different
person. The highest testimony was borne to her cha-
racter by her employers and other respectable witnesses,
but the inexorable sheriff sentenced her to 30 days' im-
prisonment for this mistake, or crime, by whichever
name it may be called. We are extremely glad that our
new Home Secretary has called the sheriff to account
for his conduct.—Euinburgh. Express,
SHOCKING CASE OF CRUELTY.—A few days ago, says
the Sherborne Journal, a man residing on the Chapelry,
who had formerly been a fifer in the 58th regiment, when
that,corps was lying at Weymouth, was discovered by
the neighbours to be very busily engaged in his garden,
at the back of the house ; on watching him they dis
covered that the wretch had dug a large hole into which
he had thrown his donkey, which had been previously
almost starved and beaten to death. It was, however,
still alive,'and when some persons went to interfere and
upbraid him for his conduct, he had got the earth
thrown in and was stamping it down with his foot; but
the poor animal would not rest, and being buried back
downwards and legs uppermost, he by his struggles
had forced the earth up again. The men who went to
interfere immediately compelled the man to kill the
animal at once before he interred it, and the fellow then
took a hammer and beat its head in, after which it was
once more placed under the earth. On Tuesday the
fellow, George Holcraft, was charged before the borough
magistrates with cruelty to a donkey. The accused
had been summoned, but he did not answer to his
name. Benjamin Pavey deposed that he saw Holcraft
on the 9th inst., covering up his donkey in a hole, just
behind his house. He was chopping his head with a
spade. Witness threatened to serve Holcraft in the
same way, which caused him to desist. Holcratt then
got a hammer and knocked the animal on the
head. George Blearing and Robert Carter were called
to corroborate this statement. The mayor said that
although Holoraft did not appear, the bench, to mark
their detestation of such cruelty, sentenced him to 3
months' imprisonment with hard labour.
LADVIIRTISEMENTI.--Whilst we have constantly to lament the
failure of medicine to effect the cure even of those diseases
which have been longest known, and have for centuries baf-
fled the labours of surgeons and physicians, it is a cheering
thing to learn, on trustworthy and undubitable authority,
that science has at length discovered, not a drug, not a
nauseating and disgusting compound, but a simple and de-
lightful-article of natural diet, which insures speedy and
effectual relief in cases where all other appliances had failed.
Fifty thousand personal testimonies to tho efficacy of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, give the most substantial
reason for encouraging the hope, and we feel justified in
saying that which we should be reluctant to affirm except
in tha face of a body of evidence which it would be ab-
surd to gainsay, that there really appears to us to be no
reason why any person, however afflicted, if there be a
moderate portion of the vital stamina remaining,
should now despair of the recovery of health and vigour.
Amongst the diseases whith have been removed, at various
degrees of obstinate inveteracy, by the use of Messrs. Du
Barry's Food, we find dyspepsia (indigestion), ,constipation,
functional irregularity, obstructions, acidity, cramps, spasms,
fits, heartburn, diarrhoea, nervousness, biliousness, affec-
tions of the liver and kidneys, flatulency, distention, palpita-
tion of the heart, nervous headache, deafness, noises in the
head and ears, giddiness, pains between the shoulders, and in
almost every part of the body, chronic inflammation and
ulceration of the stomach, eruptions on the skin, scurvy,
fever, scrofula, impurities, poverty of blood, consumption (if
not beyond human aid), dropsy, rheumatism, gout, influenza,
grippe, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, after eating,
or at sea, low spirits, spleen, general debility, paralysis,
cough, asthma, tightness across the chest, phlegm, inqu'e-
tude, sleeplessness, involuntary blushing, tremors, dislike to
society, unfitness for study,delusions, loss of memory,vertigo,
blood to the head, exhaustion,raelancholy, groundless fear, in•
decision, wretchedness, thoughts self-destructiolArc. We must
admit that it was at first with some degree of scepticism we
heard the descriptions of the 'airprising cures accomplished
by the use of this preparation ; but, looking over the quality
of the testimony, the names and characters of the persons
who join in giving it, the consistent and candid tone of the
parties to it, and above all, the facility afforded by Messrs.
Du Barry for communicating with any of the parties, doubt
and misgivings are irresistibly converted into perfect confi-
dence ; and we recognise the presence of an agent of illi-
mitable good to humanity—a power which, as it becomes
known, must work a mighty and salutary revolution
in the physical conditions of civilised communities.
Supported by testimonials from the following celebrated Pro-
fessors of Chemistry: Dr. A. Ure; Dr. Shorland; Dr. Harvey;
Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Warier; Dr. Ingram ;
Lord Stuart de Decies; the Dowager Countess of CastWituart;
Major Gen. Thomas King, and many other respectable per-
sons, whose health has been restored by it, after all other
means of cure had failed. Suitably packed with full instruc-
tions. In canisters, 11b. 2s, 9d.; 21b. 4s. 6d.; 51b. 11s. ;
121 b. 225. The 121 b canisters are sent carriage free, on re-
ceipt of Post-office order. Barry Du Barry, and Co., 77,
Regent-street, London. Important Caution against the fear•
ful dangers of spurious imitations.—The Vice-Chancellor Sir
William Page Wood granted an Injunction of the 10th March.
1854, against Alfred Hooper Nevill, for imitating " Da
Barry's Revaleuta Arabica Food."

By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and ex-
traordins.:7 improvements in the most powerful and brilliant
Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective
Glasses, to know the distances. These Telescopes possess
such extraordinary power that some, three and a-half inches,
with an extra eye-piece will show dietinetly Jupiter's moons,
Saturn's riug, and the double stars ; with the same telescope
can be seen a person's countenance three-and-a-half miles
distant and an object from 16 to 20 miles. For the waist-
coat-pocket, and are of larger, and all sizes, with increasing
powers accordingly. The Royal Exhibition, 1851. —A valu-
able, newly-invented, very small, powerful, Waistcoat-pocket
Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and
known ono and a-half mile distant. They answer every pur•
pose on the Race-course and at the Opera-houses. Country
scenery and ships aro clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They
aro invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera
Camp, Perspective, and Race-course Glasses, with wonderful
povhrs. - invaluable preserving Spectacle Lenses of the
greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision impaired becomes pre-
served and strengthened and very aged persons are enabled
to employ their sight at the most minute occupation—can see
with thole lenses of a much less magnify ing power—and
they do not require the frequent changes to the dare
gerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons
can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send-
ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and
stating the distAnce from the eye they can read small urint
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by
stating their age. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Os genie
Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful, small, newly-invented
iustrumeut for deafness, entirely different from all of hers,
surpassing anything of the kind that has been, or prof ably
can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is
not perceptible, It enables deaf persons to hear distinct lest
church and at public. assemblies ; the unpleasant seusatiou at
singing noises in the ears is entirely removed, and it adards
all the assistamo that possibly could,bo desired.-3.). A lbo-
