GARDNE WS WORM MEDICINE.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the /se-
vation of health, sand are ultimately brought to a premature death by
a ca se so prevalent as that of worms in the human body.
It is proved by the bills of mortality that one-half of the children
horn are cutoff before attaining their seventh year. The source of
thislearful mortality is found to exist in that foul state of the stomach
and b ,wets which children are so liable to, and produces the genera-
tion of Worms. 'I he four moat common species are—
ASCARIDES • VERMIC CLARIS, commonly called Maw or
Thread Worm, is about half-an•inch in length, and the thickness
of a thread. They infest every part of the alimentary canal, but
principally the lower extremity of the bowels, occasioning pain.
Their increase is most rapid; and the number existing in one
individual is* often incredible, and this in persons of all ages.
TRICURIS VIILGARIS; ' or long Thread • Worm, is about two
inches in length, and taper down from the head to the tail; they
are not, so common as the former. These also infest the whole ali-
mentary mini, and are equally tormenting. • •
TERES LUMBRICOIDES, or long round Worms, are generally
from 4 to 12 inches in length, of the substance of a goose-quill:
Those exist in the regions of the stomach; causing sickness, bile, fla-
tulence, with headache.
T,EN IA OSCULIS 11ARGINALIRUS, or Tape Worm. The dis-
tinguiihing character o' this species consists in the ()scale, or mouths; '
being situated upon the margin of each joint, which is flat. Tliey
vary in breadth, and also in length from •6 to 170 yards, and Vhh.
joints decreaso in all cases as they approach the head. Extraordb-
nary specimens of the tribe have been exhibited at the Museum• of
the late Dr. Gardner, to the astonishment of thousands who have
witnessed them.

This celebrated mcdicine has stood the test of half a century's ex--
Pertence, effectually destroying, every kind of Wo,rns, and rea ovine
all Impurities ,ro n the stomach' and howelA, by invigorating Nvlitela
Worms are not only expelled, but their veneration prevented ; and
may be administered with contib nce to ch!ldren, or the most debili-
tated adult, without restraint in diet or confinement.

This work contains RR accurate and complete account of the

!Ortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while sneering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
&an for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance 'where
smile it can be procured. Dr. FJAVNIERT •has to on the highest
modlcal honours, ns his €llplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice far many years is a guarantee for his prafeasional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

DEATH OF ANOTHER VICE-ADMIRAL.
Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Richardson, K.C.B
died on. Sunday last, at his seat, Painsthorpa Hall,
near Pocklington, Yorkshire, full of years, respect,
honours, and distinguished services. He was born i❑
1769, entered the navy November, 1787, and served
afloat mostly during the war for more than thirty
years. The following sketch of his career is from
013yrne's "Naval Biography" :
" Sir Charles Richardson entered the navy, Nov. 23,
1787, as captain's servant, on board cho Vestal, 28,
Captain Richard John Strachan. Ho shortly after-
wards proceeded on an embassy to China, and, on re-

moving-with Sir Richard to the Phoenix, 36, was pre-
sent, Nov. 13, 1791, while cruising :off the Malabar
coast in company with the Perseverance frigate, in an
obstinate engageanent (produced by a resistance on
the part of the French captain to a search leciets im-
posed by the British upon two merchant vessels under
his orders) with La Resolue, of 46 guns, whose coleura
were not struok until she had herself sustained a
loss of 25 men killed and 40 wounded, and had occa-
sioned one of the Phcenix of 6 kill d and 11 wounded.
While on the East India station Mr. Richardson was for
several months employed in the boats in co-operating up
different rivers, with the army under Sir Rebert Aber--
crombie in its operations against Tippoo Sail. On his
return to England in 1793 he joined (he had previously
attained the ratings of midshipman and master's mate)
the Alexander, 74, attached to the Channel flset; and on
August 4, 1794, after having; fought in the Royal
George, 100, flag-ship of Sir Alexander Hood, in Lord
Howe's actions of May 21 and Jane 1, he was made
lieutenant in the Circe, 28, Captain Peter Haikett. Of
that frigate be was first lieutenant during the great
mutiny at the Note; where his exertions in preventing
the crew from acquiring the ascendancy gained him, in
common with the captain and other officers of the ship,
the thanks of the Admiralty. The Circe forming one of
Lord Duncan's repeaters in the action off Cemperdewn,
Oct. 11, 1797, Lieutenant Richardson on that occtaion
achieved an important exploit. Fearing lest the Dutch
Admiral, De Winter, after his own ship had been dis-
masted and silenced, should effect his escape on board
some other, he volunteered to go in an open boat
end take him out. Succeeding in his object, he had
the honour of presenting him in person to the British
commander-in chief, who in consequence received him
on promotion in January, 1798, een board his flagship,
the Venerable, 74, and made him. March 6 following,
h.s signal lieutenant in thnKent, 74, Capt. W. Johnstone
Hope. In the following year, being sent with the expe-
dition to Holland, Lieutenant Richardson c unmandea a
division of seamen attached to the army under Sir Ralph
Abercrombie, from the period of the debarkation near
the Holder until the surrender of the Dutch squedron
under AdmiralStorey. He was then ordered home in
charge of a Dutch 68-gun ship. • Some time after he
had rejoined the Kent he sailed with Sir Rslph Aber-
crombie for Egypt, where he assisted in laediug the
troops and fought in the battle cf March 8, 1801. In
'the course of the same month he removed to the Pene-
lope, 36; Captain Hon. IL Blae kwood, and on July 12,
1802, having previously convej ed Sir Alex. John Ball to
Malta, he was nominated acting commander of the Alli-
gator, 28, armee en-flute. While in that ship, to which ho
was confirmed Oct. 9, 1802, Capt. Richardsoa directed the
movements of the flotilla employed at the reduction of
Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice iu 1803, and was
highly spoken of in the public dispatches fir his eine -
Lions at the taking of Surinam in the spring of 1804.
On July 6, in that yearehe was in consequence invested
by Sir Samuel aiod with the command of the Cenatur,
74, the ship bearing the broad pendant-au act which
the Admiralty confirmed on the.27th of September en-
suing. He returned to England in March, 1805, and was
subsequently, appointed, January 11, 1806, ti the Cmsar,
80; and went in pursuit, under the flag of Sir Richard
Strechan, of a squalron which had escaped frt rn Brest;
was employed oft' Rochefort, and proceeded to the Me-
diterranean in quest of another French scpadran under
Rear-Admiral Allecnand. Ho assisted in the same
ship under Rear-Admiral StOpford at the destruc-
tion of three French frigates beneath the batteries
of Sable d'Olerine, and of the enemy's squadron
in Aix Reads, in February and April, 1809; and
in the following July sailed again under Sir Richard
Strachan with the expedition to the Scheldt. On
thu town of Canavere offering to surrender, Captain
Richardson, who was the senior nasal officer at the
time on shore, arranged with Lieutenant-General Fraser
the terms upon which the proposal was accepted. During
the investment of Flushing he landed at the head of a
brigade of seamen, and commanded a battery of six 24-
pounders with much effect. His services throughout the
operations wertaso important, and his zeal and bravery
so very conspicuous, that he elicited the public praise of
the Earl of Chatham, the military commander-in-chief,
and the high approbation of Lieutenant-General Sir
Eyre Coote. who conducted the sieg', and of Major-
General At'Lcod, commanding officer of the Royal Ar-'
finery. On August 25, 1811, bring at the mouth of the
Gironde in the (Semiramis, and in company with the
Diana, 38, Captain Richardson, while his consort was
engaged with the (lately British) gun-brig Teaser, of
12 18-pounder carronades, two long 18'.s, and 85 men.
succeeded • in a manner that characterised the officer and
seaman,' in driving on shore and burning under the guns
of the batteries at Royan, Le Rimier, national brig of 16
guns and 136 men. In consideration of this exploit he
received the warmest acknowledgments' of his senior
efficer, Captain William Ferris, of the Diana, and the
thanks of the Board of Admiralty. The Semiramis
afterwards made a large number of prizes, and among
them the Grand Jean Bart, privateer of 14 guns and
106 men. During Captain Richardson's command of the
Topaze a dispute arose between him and the authorities
of Canton, which before it could be adjusted became so
serious, that ell commercial intercourte was suspended,
the British factory obliged to embark without puttee,
and the Hon. Company's ships to leave the Thais. The
disturbances had their origin in the circumstance of a
fire from the Topaze having killed two out of a number
of Chinese who had severely wounded fourteen of her
crew while employing filling water at Limit). On June
4, 1815, Captain Richardson was nominated a C.B , and
on Jane 29, 1841, a K.C.B. He became a rear-admiral
Jan. 10, 1837, nod a vice-admiral Dec. 17, 1847."
Rear-Admiral Edward Ratsey, by the death of
Sir Charles Richardson, becomes Vice-Admiral of the
Blue, vice John Sykes, to be Vice-Admiral of the
White.

Captain his Grace Algernon Duke of Northumber-
land (August 19, 1815) now attains the rank of Rear-
Admiral of the Blue on the active list, vice Sir
Augustus W. J. Clifford, Bart., C. 8., to be Rear-
Admiral of the White, vice Cuthbert Featherstone
Daly, C.D., to be Rear-Admiral of the Red.

With this promotion two retired captains, being
senior to the Duke of Northumberland, attain the
rank of retired Rear-Admiral, without any increase
to their pay—namely, Captains Archibald Tisdale
(July 14, 1815) and Joseph Guiston Garland (Aug.
19, 1815).

The senior captain now on the active list for pro-
motion is Cap ain John Toup Nicolas, C. 8., K.H.
(August 26, 1815). Captain William Sandon (1828)
succeeds to the half-pay list of 14s. 6d. per diem, and
Captaim Robert .Smart, K. 11., comes within the se-
cond senior list, Captain George Woolcombe (1830)
having accepted the retirement.
THE COURT OF INQUIRY ON COMMODORE PLUM.
RIDGE.—DEVONPORT, Nov. 11.—The court of in-
quiryScommenced at ten o'clock this morning, con-
tinuing to a quarter to four in the afternoon, and
then adjourned till ten o'clock to-morrow morning.
The paying off of the Cambrian is again postponed till
Wednesday. Several of the witnesses examined on
Saturday were re-examined to-day, and several others
were called. Many of the charges are of a trifling
nature, and may be considered frivolous.
THE DOCKS AT DEVONPORT AGAIN..--A defect
has bzen discovered in the screw of the Wasp, 12,
Commander Crozier, to repair which the ship must be
docked. In consequence of the want of accommodation
at Devonport, and the shallowness of those available,
this sloop will have to be detained several days from
proceeding with the mails to the coast of Africa.
Rear-Admiral - Superintendent Prescott, C. 8.,
•struck his-flag on Friday evening at sunset, and 'pro-
ceeded on three days leave. He returned on Monday
afternoon, and his flag was re-hoisted on board the
Britannia, 120, at Portsmouth.

and was afterwards discharged the service.

Indefatigable 50, Captain Smart, K.H., is ordered
to Devonport, for the West Indies.
Inflexible steam-sloop, Commander P. H. Dyke,
has touched the ground again in the West Indies.
This vessel has an unfortunate propensity to ground-
ing. Sbe does it so easy that those on board are never
aware of the fact at the time.

Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Tatham, is de-
tained at Devonport from proceeding to Rio, until
further orders.
Calliope, 26, has been taken out of dock at
Devonport ; and the Avon steam-vessel has been
taken in.

Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, Captain Warden,
has been taken alongside Portsmouth dockyard jetty
under the sheers, for the purpose of receiving her six
additional 32-pounder guns, four of which will be
mounted aft on the main deck and two forward. She
is at present coaling. As she is much lighter than
when she had her 800-horse power engines her copper
wss much too high; a sheet and a half has been taken
off all round, which will improve her appearance.
She will, no doubt be much improved by her addi-
tional false keel and stern post, whereby her rudder
is thrown eighteen inches further aft, and is fourteen
inches deeper.

Styx steam-sloop, Mr. Brown master in charge,
did not return to Plymouth from Portsmouth till

yestcrdly, whai she sailed, taking down some officers
and men for the Albion.
FORTSM3UTH, TUESDAY.—The Fantotne, 16, is
being rapidly rigged by the dockyard riggers, for
commission and service on the New Zealand station.

The crew of the TurkiSh frigate:Mizaty Zafir were
exercised at great gun exercise and smallarm and cut-
lass practice. They went through all the manoeuvres
of priming, loading, and firing three times within the
minute, and the captain stated they could fire their
great guns twice in that space of time. The Vic-
tory's apprentices fire three times in 40 seconds;
twice in a minute for the Turks is not bad work.
The Orientals are very hospitable and polite to all
visitors. They were entertained at a soirée dansante
last evening, by the Han. Lady Capel, the wife of the
Commander-in• Chief, at Hollingworth's Rooms, on
Soutbsea-beach, where a brilliant circle was invited
to meet them.

given notice to all their hands to quit, in order to avoid
violence between those men who would continue in work
and the turn-outs - the latter having attacked and ill-
treated several of the other party, and manifested very hos-
tile feelings towards them. Several summonses have been
issued against the offenders. Considerable (haulage has been
done to two pit heads. The strike is expected to be general
throughout the district, the colliers of several adjacent pits
having turned out.
ATTEMPTED MURDER.—A daring attempt to mur-
der the valuer of Caldecot enclosure, Monmouthshire, was
made on Thursday night. Mr. Williams had retired to rest
at his lodgings, when at about two o'clock in the morning
some miscreant, who must have known the room in which he
usually slept, fired a charge of slugs through the window.
Fortunately he escaped without injury ; but with a view to
deter others from similar acts of outrage, the authorities have
deemed it proper to offer a reward of 501. for the discovery
of the offender or offenders.

PROPOSED REMOVAL OF SMITH-
FIELD MARKET.
(From the Weekly Dispatch.)
Mr. Editor,--In pursuance of the promise made at
the conclusion of my last letter on the above interest-
ing subject, I will now lay before your readers some
few extracts of the evidence given before the Commis•
sioners, to whose report I have already drawn their
attention; hut before Ido so it is but justice
to state that, throughout the very lengthened
inquiry in which they were engaged, the Com-
missioners expressed the utmost readiness to act
on that long recognized principle of justice cf
hearing both sides, and accordingly their very first
step was to (wen a communication with the authori-
ties of the City, requesting the Corporation would
appoint a deputation to confer with them upon the
several subjects embraced in their Commission. A de-
putation from the Market Improvement Committee had
an interview with the Commissioners, who txplairied
to the *deputation the nature of the inquiry intrusted
to them, end solicited from them such assi,tance and
information as appeared to them necessary to a full
investigation of the matter; and with statements
of the principal advantages resulting from the exist-
leg state of the market, or of any disadvantages, with
suggestions for their removal. On the other hand,
they had had before them a deputation from the Is-
lington Cattle Market Company, representing the
interests of that body, and also various witnesses
prhclically acquainted with the business of the
market. Whether the evidence of these parties
justified the report made by the Commissioners,
I must leave the public to decide. Many persons
who are not practically acquainted with, or have peil
very little attention to the subject, consider th a there
would not be the slightest difficulty in establishing a
new market fur the sale of live cattle at a distance of
one or two miles from Smithfield. I beg to recommend
to the notice ( f all such persons a brief extract from
the evidence of Mr. Deputy Hicks, who gave the
following account of the result of his experience as
to the establishing of new markets elsewhere, and the
abolition of old and well established ones. He stated
that he had seen the rise and fail of many markets,
and had traced the origin of every market round Lon-
don, and he could not name a market that had been
attempted tube established within the last 30 years that
hid not prcved a failure. Fleet-market, which he had
known for many years, and in which very nearly the
whole of the numerous occupiers got a living for their
fainilies, was removed into Farringdore market, and
he saw the break up of nearly every person who
previously got a living in Fleet-market after he be-
came an occupier in Farringdon-market. Hunger-
ford-market was re-modelled at a vast expense, and
qarted upon the same principle, and a more wretched
failure never took place. Among the proposed
advantages, it was to do away with the
inconvenience of Billingsgate; but Billings-
gate still retains its trade. Another, called Portland-
market, was established in his recollection, and which
was also a perfect failure. A market was opened in
the New-cut, Lambeth, which was shut up in twelve
months. Another was opened in Finsbury, where a
large market was set up, and that has been a failure
fsr many years. He therefore seriously con-
templated the removal of Smithfield-market as a cer-
tain failure, from the fact of the difficulty of esta-
blishing new markets. The failure of each of the
markets specified by Mr. Hicks is a "great fact," that
admits of no denial. Let any one visit Farringdon-
market, and he will find two -thirds of the covered
portion of it completely deserted; and yet when that
market first opened, anybody who had ventured to
predict that in a few years it would be nearly tenant-
less, would have been laughed at for a foul. There
is a strong attachment to old markets, not only
on the part of dealers therein, but of the public
iu general ; the " old market place " is held
sacred in every large town in the kingdom.
The construction of the market may be altered
from time to time, but the site is connected with so
many old associations, is a matter of history, and has
been approved of by the authorities froth one genera-
tion to another, so that any attempted removal of it is
hardly ever successful. At all events, before the remo-
val of a market is resolved upon, the place to which it
is to be removed should be definitely settled ; but in
stead of this, no clearly defined plan for a substituted
market, with the means or cost of carrying it out, has
been suggested in the Report, so that the public are
not afforded the opportunity of judging whether it
is likely to obviate the assumed inconveniences of
the present one, the removal of Smithfield being alto-
gether an experimental proposition, and the Report of
the Commissioners leaving the position of the site
wholly undefined, excepting, indeed, it is
said that it would be desirable to remove
it to a site detached from the central posi-
tion of the metropolis, and that several eligible
sites may be found on the northern suburb of the town.
With regard to the alleged unhealthiness of Smith-
field, in consequence of the cattle market being held
therein, one of the witnesses examined (Mr. Blackett),
who has carried on the business of a woollen-draper
in Smithfield for many years (he and his father before
him for upwards of 70 years), stated that he remem-
bered both the occasions when the cholera prevailed
in London, and on neither occasion was there a single
case in Smithfield; and the late Dr. Lynch, whose
exertions in the cause of Sanitary Rethrm cost him
his life, and must be fresh in the recollection of every
citiz•le of London, on one occasion told him that, so
far from considering Smithfield as an healthy place,
he considered it to be eminently healthy. The wit-
ness added, that there had never been any sickness in
his own family, and he did not know that any of his
neighbours had complained of any sickness occasioned
by their living in the market. On the subject of
accident, he stated that during the whole period of his
residence there he had never witnessed any serious
accident in Smithfield, and though his shop-windows
were wholly unprotected from the cattle, and the
pavement wes not very wide, he had had but three
panes of glass broken by the cattle; yet, according to
the alarmists, not a market-day passes without some
accident of the kind occurring, not only in Smith-
field-market itself, but also in the adjacent streets.
The Commissioners admit in their Report, with re-
ference to the alleged deterioration in the flesh of the
animals, caused by the treatment which they receive
in driving them to Smithfield, and to the market it-
self, that the opinions expressed thereon were founded
upon data too conjectural to be received with much
reliance. The two gentlemen who have dissented
from the Report made by their brother Commissioners,
say that as far as that complaint is concerned, admit-
ting there is any ground for it, it will be obviated by
the enlargement of the site of the market, and they
settle the whole question by saying that such alleged
deterioration is inconsistent with the fact so well
known both as regards the provinces and foreign
towns, that London holds a character preeminent as
to the superiority of its butchers' meat. With regard
to the alleged inconveniences of the present market,
they consider they may be remedied by its enlarge-
ment or adoption of the plan proposed by Mr. Bun-
ning, and by a legislative enactment for regulating
the hours of sheep and cattle arriving at and depart.
ing from the market, by widening the avenues, &c. ;
and such being the case, the existing inconveniencies
of the market do not seem to them to justify a course
so extreme and problematical as its removal to a dis-
tance, accompanied as that must be by a great and
expensive disarrangement and dislocation of extensive
commercial interests, connected directly or indirectly
with the existing market. Such an expe!iment
would also be likely to affect the regular, certain, and
cheap supply of animal food, a question of vital im-
portance

ORDNANCE SURVEY.
TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—The Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers
are about to coafirrn their order for vary extensive
works. I beg therefore to suggest that the survey
and levels supplied by the Ordnance should at once be
tested before the survey be paid for by the commis-
sion.

We heard much of "infallible tests" to which the
survey was to be subjected, but I have already ob-
served inaccuracies, and I therefore suggest that a
practical test be applied forthwith.—l remsin, Sir,

EXTENSIVE POST•oTTICE ROBBERIES IN LEEDS.
—The prisoner John Warren, who has several times been
under examination before the Leeds magistrates, was again
arraigned on Monday, charged with several serious post-
office robberies. The evidence against the prisoner Was
considered so conclusive that the magistrates committed him
to York. Castle for trial at the next assizes. The woman,
Hannah Leonard, who has also been in custody, was dis-
charged.
