EXTRAORDINARY EFFECT ON GILDING.

LIPTON'S PARISIAN GOLD DETERGENT
instantly restores the original splendour of gilding, however
faded or tarnished, removes 9y-spots, and renders covering from the
fly unnecessary. Process :—Merely sponging the surface, and ex-
pense only a few pence for the largest gilt frame. Gold Detergent,
2s 6.1. per bottle ; Ormolu and Lacker, Is. 6d. ; Bronze, Is. 6d. ;
Lamp, Is. 4d. All are innoxious and inoffensive.
N.B.—Upton and Co. are In passeision of numerous testimonials,
many from persons of the highest rank. • They, however, content
themselves with referring to the recent trials made by the proprie-
tors of the Liverpool Chronicle and the Nottingham Review :
" We fi'st tried the Gold Detergent on a costly looking-glass
frame that had been a few years gilt. It removed the whole
of the fly-spots, the dust, and stains; and the frame has now the
appearance and brilliancy of the day when it left the workman's
hands. We next experimented on two very old frames—from their
colour we were almost in doubt whether they were gilded or not.
The Detergent, however, soon convinced us of the fact, by removing
the accumulated stains acid tarnish of many years ; these frames have
now the appearance of being nearly new."—Vide Liverpool Chro-
nicle, Jan. 27, 1844.
"We have tried the Gold Detergent upon several old picture
frames, and must confess we are very agreeably surprised at the
result; for it restores the splendour of gilding with very little
trouble. A single bottle it more than sufficient for all the picture
and looking-glass frames in a moderate-sized house."—Vide Notting-
ham Review, April 5, 1844.

THE AMERICAN PRESS AND THE
REV. SYDNEY SMITH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE.
Sir,—The Locofoco papers in America are, I observe,-full
of abuse of Mr. Verett, their Minister, for spending a month
with me at Christmas in Somersetshire. That month was
neither lunar nor calendar, but consisted of forty-eight hours;
—a few minutes more or less.

I never heard a wiser or more judicious defence than he
made to me and others, of the American insolvency; nut
denying the injustice of it, speaking of it, on the contrary,
with the deepest feeling, but urging with great argumenta-
tive eloquence every topic that could be pleaded in extenua-
tion. lie made upon us the same impression he appears to
make universally in this country ; we thought him (a chit,
racter which the English always receive with affectionate
regard) an amiable American, republican without rudeness;
and accomplished without ostentation. "If I had known that
gentleman five years ago (said one of my guests), I should.
have been deep in the American funds ; and, as it is, I think
at times that I see nineteen or twenty shillings in the pound
in his face."

However this may be, I am sure we owe to the Americans
a debt of gratitude for sending to us such an excellent speci-
men of their productions. In diplomacy, a far more impor-
tant object than falsehood, is, to keep two nations in friend-
ship. In this point, no nation has ever been better served
than America has been served by Mr. Edward-Evamtt,..
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
April 17. • SYDNEY SMITH.

THE PARSONS AGAIN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—We thought the parsons had made themselves quite
conspicuous enough lately in the columns of the various daily
papers without adding to their notoriety, but our attention
having been accidentally called this evening to a gross
outrage committed on a respectable citizen by one of these
so-called " Pastors of the Flock," we cannot forbear re-
questing your insertion of the particulars in your valuable
Paper. _ _

A seizure for tithes (demand 51.) was made this day on
William Hughes, of Scott's-yard, Cannon-street, City, a
member of the Society of Friends, when they most unce-
remoniously carried off sixty chairs, filling a van, and
causing quite a sensation in the neighbourhood.
Is it not time, that respectable citizens were left to enjoy
the fruits of their anxious toil, without being plundered by
the miscalled successors of the Apostles.—We are, Sic.,
April 17. • FRIENDS OF JUSTICE.
