DR. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri-
vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by
a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which
is so frequently overlooked. It is, therefore, of importance that
every person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of
worms, which are disagreeable odour of the breath, fevered tongue,
particularly heaviness or languid bluish ap'pearance about the eyes,
swelling and paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, fre-
quent itching of the nose, an unequal state of the pulse, appetite
very irregular, and the bowels also, pale and emaciated countenance,
and at ether times the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short,
cough, great thirst, 'vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of
the teeth, frequent pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of in-
clination to take exercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c., &c. These
are same of the general symptoms of being afflicted with worms;
adults as Well as children are subject ' therbto. Youth or age may
with the utmost safety have recourse to this old established medicine,
which is adopted by numerous families. It is with this view that
the serious attention of all afflicted persons is directed to the symp-
toms thus described, which are produced by worms, and to a trial of
this safe and effectual remedy, the value of which is corroborated by
numerous testimonials through a long period of years.
This medicine may be administered with confidence to children
or the most debilitated adult, without restraint in diet or confine-
ment. Its efficacy is also particularly beneficial as an alterative
medicine, insensibly removing all impurities of the blood, &c., and
promoting a healthful vigour to the whole system.

dress observe on the Government stamp, and may be procured

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market coastwise have not exceeded 1,040 quarters, al-
most wholly from Essex and Kent. By land carriage
they have been trifling. The show of samples to-day
was small; nevertheless, owing to the continued imports
from abroad, the absence of the principal dealers, and
the favourable accounts respecting the growing crops,
the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce
ruled heavy, and to effect sales rather lower rates must
have been accepted. From abroad, 9,330 quarters of
Wheat have come to hand. Selected parcels were
mostly held at full rates of currency. In the middling
and inferior kinds so little was doing that prices were
almost nominal. No English Barley was at market, and
the supply of foreign was trifling. All kinds moved off
slowly at barely late rates. The sale for Malt was very
inactive, but we have no change to note in value. In
Oats comparatively little business was transacted. Damp
parcels were the turn lower. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
and Flour, were very dull.

.iiHOREE is a NEW IMPORTATION by the
Messrs. NICOLL, through their Agent in INDIA.

It •is a Cloth exceedingly well adapted, when formed into
a PALETOT, for the races, the sea-side, or any place of public
amusement during the approaching warm weather. It has the pecu-
liarity of• resisting,-or Counteracting, in a most remarkable manner,
the intense heat of the sun's rays, and is so light (weighing but six
ounces) that it can be conveniently WORN O'ER ANOTHER
COAT, which it thus effectually preserves from dust; and as it oc-
cupies, •when folded, no more space—than a pocket-handerchief, it
may be concealed in the sanni manner when not wanted. It, more-
.ovor..con,veys a most gentlemanly appearance, is very durable, and
when soiled, becomes new again by the simple process of washing.
The price is but ONE GUINEA. AND A HALF. The adap'ation
of this article to the manufacture of Paletots or Overcoats is 'PA-

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

BRISTOL, MAT 30.—At a very early hour this
morning a most alarming and destructive conflagra-
tion broke out at the Great Western Cotton-works,
Barton-hill, the result of which will be to throw up-
wards of 2,000 persons out of employ. The reeling
and warping sheds have been entirely destroyed, to-
gether with the whole of the very valuable and costly
machinery contained in them. The circumstances
attending the fire are of a most mysterious character,
and certainly lead to the belief that it must have
i
been the work of an ncend iary. The fire was first
discovered soon after two o'clock, and it is a
game.
what remarkable fact that that portion of the build-
ing in which it was first seen had been passed through
only a quarter of en hour before by one of the night
watchmen employed on the premises, and he declares
that he not only saw no light, but that there was not
the slightest smell of anything burning. The alarm
having been promptly given, the three engines be-
oatntdileother insurance

building was inevitable,
turned to saving the great mill of the factory and the
ccoottttoonn-;shinedd,eeidn, which were some 10,000 bales of
efforts that the latter was saved, the woodwork being
completely charred, and the pitch with which it was
protected being actually. melted. Had this building
taken fire, from its contiguity to the main building,
in all probability it would have been destroyed, and
the loss in that case would have exceeded 300,0001.
In the sheds where the fire originated there was no
oily cotton, or anything that might have
caused spontaneous combustion. About 320 men
were employed in the sheds, but they left at six
o'clock last night ;
there were no repairs going on,
and the managers saw everything safe at eight
o'clock in the evening. The boiler-house roof also
was completely burnt. The fire was got under soon
after four o'clock. One accident occurred to a fire-
man belonging to the Sun Fire-office, who was
thrown off the engine and received a compound frac-
ture of the right leg. Fortunately for the proprie-
tors, the works are insured in the Sun, Atlas, Nor-

PREVENTION OF SUNDAY FAIRS BILL.
_ _ .

The Earl of CARLISLE moved the;eeond;;Ziog
of this bill.—Agreed to.

AUSTRALIAN COLONIES BILL.
Lord LY TTELTON feared it was in vain to ask that
the discussion on this Bill should be taken on going into
Committee, instead of on the second reading.
Earl GREY was understood to oppose the postpone-
ment of the discussion.
In answer to the Earl of FITZWILLIAM,
Earl GREY said that he bad no objection to lay be-
fore the House some most important dispatches which
had been received from Australia, on the subject of emi-
gration, but those dispatches bore but indirectly upon
the Australian Colonies Bill.
Lord MONTEAGLE thought that all documents
relating to emigration and land sales ought to be be-
fore the House before they were called on to discuss the
Bill before the House.
Earl GREY would, in moving the second reading of
the Bill, state his reasons for so doing, and it would
then be competent to his Noble Friend to answer him.

GUTTA PERCHA TUBING, Sac.
The Gutta Perna Company have the pleasure to acknow-
:edge the receipt of the following Testimonials :
(Corr.)

" Stirling, January 25, 1850,

" I have great pleasure in informing you that I bad a trial to-day
of the I -inch gutta percha tube I had from you in December last,
in presnce of a Committee of the Town Council, who were highly
pleased with the experiment, and have resolved to have 40 feet of
the same for attaching to our fire-plugs for extinguishing fires, and
watering the streets in dry weather. lam of opinion that no mate-
rial is so well fitted for the above purpose as the gutta percha, for
although our pressure is perhaps the greatest in the kin;dom, being
upwards of 450 feet, not the slightest effect could be discovered on
the tube or joints, while the same pressure on our leather hose sends
the rivets in all directions.—l am, your obedient Servant,
"ANDREW ROBERTSON."
From JOHN TAYLOR GORDON, Esq., M.D, (heretofore Physician
to his late MAJESTY and 11. RM, the Duke of Cambridge, but
now retired).

"April 10, 1850.

" Gent•temen,—Without reference to the variety of useful and or-
namental purposes to which gutta percha is adapted, I consider it in
a sanitary point of view to be a most fortunate and important dis-
covery. I have already (from a sole regard to the public benefit)
certified my decided approval of it fbr the under soles of shoes, and I
have only to add that I find it equally well applied to walking or dress
shoes and boots by your agents. As the supply of pure water is so es-
sential to health, and leaden pipes and cisterns are so objectionable,
I cannot too highly recommend the gutta percha for tubing and
lining.
" I am, gentlemen, your humble servant,
"J. TAYLOR GORDON."

" nirtiand-place. Hull, March 28, 1850.

"Gentlemen,—lt is impossible to conceive of anything more in-
jurious and destructive to the health of the community than the use
oileaden pipes for the conveyance of water. The poisonous salts of
iesd ther,by communicated are most insiduous and subtile. I hail
with gratitude the substitution of gutta percha tub!ng. I have had
the leaden pipe of my own house removed and supplied by one of
gutta percha. •
I am, respectfully, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
"J. 3.URRAY, Pit. D."

in consequence of improved machinery, whereby a continuous
supply of gutta percha is maintained, the Gutta Percha Company are
enabled to supply the tubing in much greater lengths than formerly.

It is said that on the German question Austria has

A convention was concluded on the 21st between
Prussia and Belgium, for the establishment of inter-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, May 30.
(Before the CHIEr COMMISSIONER.)
•
IN RR BENJAMIN STEILL.

This insolvent's application to be discharged was
unopposed. Mr. Cooke supported.
The insolvent, upon being examined by the Court,
stated that he had been a publisher and bookseller in
Paternoster-row for twenty-four years. He gave up
copyrights of several works of sufficient value to pay
the debts upon the schedule. He had borrowed 3001.
of Mr. Strange, the publisher, of which he had re-
paid more than 200/., and Strange held two bills of
exchange for the remainder, upon which he had been
sued in the name of Benjamin Massey Roberts, al-
though he believed there was no such person in ex-
istence. Strange, at present, was not in England.
Mr. COOKE said, he believed that Strange had not
been in England since the proceedings taken against
him on the part of the Queen and Prince Albert.
The insolvent said he believed that was the fact.
The COURT ordered the insolvent to be discharged.
(Before Mr. CJmmissioner Puudars )

IN RE RICHARD BATLEY, TIIE ELDER.
This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Nichols, and
several creditors in person. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Sar-
good supported.
The insolvent said he had been steward to the Earl
of Mornington, and claimed from thit peer 2,800/.
for services rendered. lie believed that that money
would be paid, and would be divisible among the cre-
ditors.

After an inquiry into matters connected with the
schedule of no public interest, Mr. Commissioner
Phillips adjourned the case, to enable the insolvent
to transfer his interest in a contract to the assignee.

THE PEW SysTEm.—On Sunday se'nnight, a little
girl, about nine years of age, went to Hurstpierpoint church
in the evening, and fell asleep in one of the pews, where she
was not observed. On the congregation leaving the church,
the sexton fastened all the doors. During the whole night
search `vas made for the boat child; her mother was of

justly the House in sinctiming the passing of the Bill,
and he thought it right to allude to the circumstance,
lest it might lead to a precedent in other cases, although
be had done so with considerable pain.
CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS BILL.

Lord CAMPBELL proposed Ciat the House should

resolve i:self into CoCurnittee upon this Bill, which he
sail had been introduced to obviate the dangers which
frequently arose to the administration of justice from
errors in indictments of a technical and firma! charact-r.
It would enab!e the judge to amend an indictment where
there vvas some slight variance between the evidence and
the terms of the indictment.

The Bill went through Committee without any discus-
sion and was ordered to be printed.
IRISH FRANCHISE BILL.
In reply to Lord STANLEY,
Eirl GREY said it was the intention of the
Government to take the second resding of this Bill on
Thursday next, and to g) into Committee upon it on
Monday following.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

- -
MAY 30.—At a very early hour this
morning a most alarming and destructive conflagra-
tion broke out at the Great Western Cotton-works,
Barton-hill, the result of which will be to throw up-
wards of 2,000 persons out of employ. The reeling
n
y lead to the belief that it must havethe
whole of the very valuable and costly
machinery contained in them. The circumstances
ag ewc
certainly
l
attending the fire are of a most mysterious character,
andand
hr withtpaiinng sheds have been entirely destroyed, to-
been the work of an incendiary. The fire was first
discovered soon after two o'clock, and it is a some-
what remarkable fact that that portion of the build-
ing in which it was first seen had been passed through
only a quarter of an hour before by one of the night
watchmen employed on the premises, and he declares
that he not only saw no light, but that there was not
the slightest smell of anything burning. The alarm
having been promptly given, the three engines be-
longing to the establishment were brought into play,
and they were shortly afterwards joined by the City
of Bristol fire-engine, and those of the Sun, Imperial,
A tlas, Crown, West of England, and other insurance
offices. Some idea may be formed of the fury of the
flames when we state that the reeling and warping sheds,
with the rooms above them, extending over a space of
upwards of 600 feet, were burnt to the ground in
about two hours. In addition to the firemen and
most of the workpeople of the factory, there was a
large body of police on the spot, and as it was soon
seen that the total destruction of this portion of the
building was inevitable, their whole exertions were
turned to saving the great mill of the factory and the
cotton-shed, in which were some 10,000 bales of
cotton ; indeed, it was only by the most strenuous
efforts that the latter was saved, the woodwork being
completely charred, and the pitch with which it wt
protected being actually. melted. Had this building
taken fire, from its contiguity to the main building,
in all probability it would have been destroyed, and
the loss in that case would have exceeded 300,000/.
In the sheds where the fire originated there was no
oily cotton, or anything that might have
caused spontaneous combustion. About 320 men
were employed in the sheds, but they left at six
o'clock last night ; there were no repairs going on,
and the managers saw everything safe at eight

was completely burnt. The fire wUi got under soon
after four o'clock. One accident occurred to a fire-

THE SUN,

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The last performance for the season cf La Son-
nambula, with Madame Sontag as Amina and Mr.
Sims Reeves as Elvino, attracted a crowded and bril-
liant audience to her Majesty's Theatre last evening.
Madame Sontag was in exquisite voice, and never sang or
acted better in her life. The finale, the far famed "Ah !
non giunge" was the very perfection of florid vocali-
zation, and was rapturously encored. Madame
Sontag was frequently called cn during the
course of the opera, and also at the conclusion.
The Elvino of Mr. Sims Reeves was a perfect em-
bodiment of impassioned tenderness, and he was
throughout rapturously applauded. The Sonnambula
was followed by the last act of the Elisir Amore,
in which Madame Frezzolini excited even a
greater furore than she did on Saturday ; the encore
of her last air was one of unmistakeable heartiness.
Lablache as Dulcamara was the very perfection of
unctions humour, and Calzolari made a most inter-
esting .Nemorino. The grand scene from Gugliel•
mo Tell, for Coletti, Baucarde, and Lorenz., fol-
lowed, and was as usual a perfect triumph.
This being a " long Thursday" the choerographic per-
formancc s WE re of a more varied character than usual.
We had the grand scene from the beautiful ballet of
Thea for :Marie Taglioni ; the Pas Styrien exquisitely
danced by Carlotta Grisi and M. Charles, the per-
formances concluding with Les Graces, in which
Carlotta Grisi, Amalia Ferraris, and Marie Taglioni
appeared together.
