B. SCOTT'S BILIOUS and LIVER
kir PILLS.—A NEVER-FAILING REMEDY.—Pre-
pared without any mercurial ingredient, from the recipe
of Dr. Scott, Bromley, Kent, will be found invaluable to
all who suffer from bilious and liver complaints, indiges-
tion, wind, spasms, giddiness, dizziness of the eyes, &c.
For habitual costiveness, as a family aperient medicine,
and as a purifier of the blood, they are truly excellent ;
mild in their operation and grateful to the stomach, they
create appetite, promote digestion, and strengthen the
whole nervous system.—Prepared only and sold by W.
Lambert, chemist, 8, Bing William-street, Charing-cross,
London, and by most druggists, in boxes, ls. lid., and
three times the quantity in one, 2s. 9d. Be sure to ask for
Dr. Scott's Bilious and Liver Pills. The genuine are a
square green package, with " William Lambert" engraved
on the stamp.

dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
Balled the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach."
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
cumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and 11s. each, in

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTH AMERICA.

An official report of the earthquake in South America
has been received by the Admiralty from the com-
manding officer at Callao. At Iquique, a town
which has largely incrased in population
.and
importance of late years, the earthquake was not
preceded by any of those signs which are generally
the forerunners of great convulsions. A short rumbling
sound, however, was heard before the shock occurred ;
the inhabitants got into the streets, and here, therefore,
comparatively few lives were lost. The sea was unusually
high, and about 150 people were swept off by the tide. The
loss of property here was over half a million. The sea did
similar damage at Mixillones. Arica was utterly destroyed ;
even some two-storied houses which were left standing
were so cracked and shaken as to be uninhabitable.
The destruction in the bay equalled that on the land ; the
six vessels that were at anchor were all lost. A Peruvian
corvette was lost, all hands being killed or wounded. The
officers and crew of a United States gunboat took every
precaution against the enormous earthquake waves, but
the vessel was carried over the beach and left amongst
some sandhills four hundred yards from the water. She
was landed perfectly upright, without a scratch, and with-
out a man lost. The American Government have deter-
mined to sell her. The vice-consul at Arica thus describes
the catastrophe at that place. "We passed up the
centre of the street ; everything in ruins, numbers
of dead, and the wounded lying under the walls shrieking
for assistance. Blinded with dust, and scarcely able to
breathe from the sulphur in the air, we stepped at the first
rising ground. The whole town, with the exception of a
few of the second-storied houses, was shaken down. They
stood high above the ruins. The quay and mole were
crowded with people, who appeared to be panic-struck, for
the sea had gone out from the bay, and there was a great
wave coming in. Presently they took flight, but at least 200
of them were swept away. Wave succeeded wave at
intervals of about a quarter of an hour, and long before
dark there was not a vestige of the lower part of the town
remaining. During all the night the shocks of earthquake
continued, and the noise was like distant cannonading.
The water in the few wells that could be got at was so hot
(sulphuric) that it was quite undrinkable. So we passed
the night on the hills."

THAMES.

DARING BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—Margaret
Stocks, alias Locker, a woman about 40 years of
age, with a child in her arms, was brought before
Mr. Paget charged with being concerned in a
burglary at the dwelling-house No. 11 Coles-place,
Commercial-road East, and stealing a shirt, two
petticoats, 30 yards of damask, six antimacassars,
and one pinafore, the property of Mr. William
Maxwell, also four dresses, two petticoats, and one
jacket, the property of Margaret Chaplin.
On Thursday afternoon a police - constable,
named James Crawley, 29 H reserve, saw the pri-
soner in Osborn-street, Whitechapel, carrying a
large bundle. A man, who was in earnest conver-
sation with her, was walking alongside. They pro
ceeded as far as Flower-street and Dean-street, a
colony of thieves andother bad characters„ on which
the policeman approached, and the man ran away
and soon disappeared. Crawley took the prisoner
into custody, and obtained possession of the bundle,
which contained the articles enumerated in the
charge-sheet, and valued in all at £lO. He asked
the prisoner where she obtained the things, to
which she replied that a man gave them to her to
carry. She was taken before Mr. Norton, at the
Worship-street Police-court, on Friday, and he
discharged her, and directed Crawley to retain
possession of the property and arrest the prisoner
again if an owner could be found.

Mrs. Mary Maxwell of 11, Cold-place, now
identified the whole of the
property which be-
longed to her husband and servant. Her dwelling
was broken into on Tuesday
night last or early on
Wednesday morning, and the articles in the
bundle stolen from the back kitchen and other parts
of the house.

Mr. Paget—And you first saw the prisoner in
Osborn-street, IVhitechapol, in company with a
man on Thursday morning.
Crawley—Yes, sir.
Mrs. Maxwell s,,id she first discovered her house
had been forcibly entered, and the property stolen
at half-past six o'clock on W-ednesday morning.
Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1868,

TA _E COUNT AND COUNTESS OF GIRGENTL

The Count and Countess Girgenti arrived at Newhiiiii
r'rom Dieppe yesterday, by the steampacket Marseilles.
The steamer left Dieppe at four o'clock a.m., and
arrived at Newhaven at twelve o'clock. The count
v.nd countess were accompanied by five Spanish gen-
tlemen. Not one of the party, however, spoke English,
tne, what is much stranger, only one of them under-
stood anything of French, and this gentleman spoke
it.'but imperfectly. The party were bound for Brighton;
tr.it had evidently undertaken a hasty journey, as they
'did not know at what hotel to stay at there. Mr. Dolan,
the collector of customs at Newhaven, however, recom-
mended them one. They seemed obliged for the attention
he chewed them, and thanked him for his courtesy as
well as that of his officers. The party was not expected,
and there was no train for Brighton till half-past two. They
therefore waited in the London and Paris Hotel, New-
haven, until that hour. They arrived at Brighton a little
before four o'clock in the afternoon, and proceeded at once
to the Grand Hotel, where they now are. They brought a
considerable quantity of baggage of the ex-Queen of Spain,
some of the trunks bearing in large brass characters the
name " Regna Isabella." Captain Payne, of the Mar-
seines, tells the following little circumstance with reference
to the Countess Girgenti :—Early on the morning he left,
an elegantly-dressed lady, apparently not more than
twenty, came on the bridge of the steamer. Captain
Payne, somewhat surprised at the courage of so young a
lady, told her that he feared she would get wet with the
spray in so exposed a position, devoted only to the
officers of the ship. The young lady, with a sweet voice, and
pretty broken English, said, " Is it forbidden?" The captain,
although ignorant that it was the daughter of Isabella
of Spain that was addressing him, was not proof against
the charms of so graceful a young lady, and allowed her to
remain in the place of her choice. The captain called for
cushions and rugs, and made the countess a comfortable
couch on the bridge, which she occupied until the boat
arrived at the haven, when he for the first time learnt the
name and position of his fair passenger.

HAWAII.

There is much reason to fear that the Island of Hawaii,
in the Pacific Ocean, is gradually sinking into the sea. A
great submarine interruption took place in the early part
of last year, and since then a marked subsidence has
been observed. Had this sinking been equal throughout the
island, the phenomenon might have been explained on the
theory that a volcanic eruption which upheaved the bed
of the Pacific in one part might depress it in another.
But whilst one shore of the island has sunk only a few
inches, the opposite coast has disappeared to the extent of
several feet. This seems to prove that the subsidence is
