PRESERVES AND CONFECTIONERY'
The superiority of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, for Pre-
serves and Confectionery, is testified by the fact that it is preferred to
any other spirit by the most extensive Wholesale Confectioners in
the Metropolis; for fortifying home-made wines it is invaluable; as
an ordinary beverage it is congenial to the most delicate constitutions;
and, as a medical stimulant, it is peculiarly adapted to persons of
bilious or dyspeptic habits. Quantities of not less than Two Gallons,
supplied at the Distillery, 7. Smithfield-bars, in Stone Jars, at las. per
Gallon, exclusive of the price of the Jar; and in Glass Bottles, at 20s.

SUMMER EXCURSIONS.
'Tis pleasing to mark 'mid the public diversions
The parties who travel on "Summer excursions."
Such pleasures are daily becoming more rife,
With persons of various stations in life.
Nor need we remain at a loss for a reason,
Why people enjoy themselve. thus at this season.
The reader will see that the business is done
By the choice summer earments f MOSES and SON.
An astonishing saving attends them, and hence,
Many thousands enjoy themselves free of expense.
Nay, be not mistaken I When gentlemen come,
They gain by the clothes no "contemptible" sum,
But enough to partake of the pleasures of life.
With a friendly companion. a sweetheart, er wife.
No wonder the steamers are crowded each day,
With ladies and gentlemen, " drest fine and gay."
No wonder the railways are so over-run,
When we think of the savings by MOTES and SON.
Let all who are anxious to share the diversions
Which at all times attend en the " Summer excursions,"
No longer delay and remain in the lurch,
But patronise MOSES, ri ht facing the church.
One entrance at Eighty-six Aldgate is found,
And one in the Min'ries, a little way round.
But we need net inform you, for sure there are none
Who know not the warehouse of MUSES and SON.

CORDS AND BUNIONS
NO CHIROI'ODISTS! CUTTING !! !
PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND
is a sure and speedy cure for those annoyances, without
causing the least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other remedies
for corns, its oreration is such as to render the cutting of
corns altogether unnecessary : indeed, w e mav say, the practice of
cutting corns is at all times highly dangerous, and has been fre-
quently attended with lamenuble con-equenc s, besides its liability
to increase their growth. It adheres with the most gentle pres.ure,
Producing an instant and delightful relief from torture, and, with
perseverance in its application, entirely eradicates the most in-
veterate corns and bunions.
EXTRAORDINARY TESTIMONIALS.
From Dr. Cummins, Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence at the
Aldersgate School of Medicine.
Dr. Cummins presents his compliments to Mr. Paul, and begs to
inform him that his Every Man's Friend has entirely taken away
his Corns, and he has recommended it to several of his friends and
patients, and in no one instance has it failed in eradicating both
Corns and Bunions.
From Dr. Ley, Midwifery Lecturer, at St. Bartholomew's
Hospital.
Dr. Ley rresents his compliments to Mr. Paul, and begs to inform
bin. that his Corn Plaster has • aken away his Corns.

NEW SOUTH WALES.
(From the ,';;ydney Morning Herald.)
The fifty-sixth anniversary of the foundation of the
colony of New South Wales, was, according to custom,
held on the 26th of January last, with a splendid re-
gatta. A grand entertainment was given on board the
General Hewett, of 1,000 tons, the flag-ship on the
occasion. The ladies and gentlemen invited on board
were about three hundred, comprising the elite of our
colonial society. His Excellency the Governor, and
Lady Gipps. with their suite, and the Bishops of Aus-
tralia and Tasmania, were amongst the company present.
We read with great pleasure in the speeches of his
Excellency, and of Mr. Benjamin Boyd, the chairman,
much to give confidence as to the favourable turn which
the affairs of the colony have taken.
THE DINNER.

The vessel's gun-deck formed a splendid saloon. There
were three rows of tables, at which there was accom-
modation for 200 persons. The chair was taken by Ben-
jamin Boyd, Esq., supported by the Governor and Lady
Gipps. After the usual loyal toasts,
Mr. BOYD said the next he had to propose was the
hea'th of Sir George Gipps. At an early age his Ex-
cellency was a brilliant ornament of the profession to
which he belonged ; and when peace threw her mantle
over the world, he soon obtained employment in that de-
partment which, more than any other, is connected with
the commerce of the country. He soon, however, left the
Admiralty, and was employed on one of the most delicate
missions ever sent out by Great Britain. After such an
education, was it surprising that his Excellency was
selected for the government of this colony when a
vacancy occurred? Sir George Gipps might well be
proud of his position; he owed it not to the adventitious
circumstances of high birth, but had won it by his own
talents, his own assiduity. They must all be aware
how his Excellency's measures were connected with
the prosperity of the colony. When the convict
system nas done away with, he saw that the broad
acres of the colony must. remain in their original
state if there were not a copious stream of immigra-
tion, and in consequence of his Excellency's arrange-
ments we have seen argosies loaded with thews and
sinews from the mother country, coming to develope the
colony's resources. Are we to give way because there
has been depression deep and bitter enough to many.
—because a cloud has passed over us ? Under such
circumstances we are too apt to throw upon others that
blame which belongs to ourselves. He believed, how-
ever, that the cloud was passing away. We were now
developing the resources of the country, and if these
resources be properly managed, we shall soon be inde-
pendent of the mother country. Give us immigration,
give us population for the interior—that is what is
wanted. As had been well observed by a reverend
writer, " Let us pledge what we may, we cannot pledge
our climate ;" and a climate such as this which we enjoy
actually alters the face of penury itself. Compare the
state of a pauper in a London December and one in this
colony. We have here plenty of food, and even in the
worst of times no man need starve who chooses to be in-
dustrious. But we must look to the future—he believed
they would unanimously say the bright future.; aed as
he had said before, he anticipated that before his Excel-
lency left, the colony would be in a flourishing state. He
would not talk politics, but he could not help remarking
that Sir G. Gipps was elected to his present office by
the Whigs ; and there was no doubt that the Tories,
when they came into power, would have been glad to
have filled up the office ; but they did not do so, be-
cause they could not find a man better adapted. With-
out any reference to Whig or Tory, he believed the
Governor was a man determined to do his duty, and
when he retired, however persons might be opposed to
particular acts, he was sure that all would agree that he
left office clean-handed and perfectly free from corrup-
tion. He proposed the health of his Excellency the
Governor.

Drunk with three times three, and one cheer more.

The GOVERNOR thanked the meeting for the manner
in which they had drank his health, and Mr. Boyd for
the way in which he had proposed it. He could assure
them that no one had a greater desire to see the colony
prosperous than he had—no one could more devote
himself to the promotion of the interests of the colony
than he had done. He had a peculiar pleasure in
meeting those he saw assembled around him ; some-
thing was wanted to cheer us, to dispel the gloom which
hod so long hung over us, to infuse into us mirth and
merriment, which Mr, Boyd and his colleagues had sue.
ceeded in doing. It was a satisfaction to him to see
that the foundation of the colony is considered an event
worthy of commemoration ; that we are not ashamed
of our origin ; that we, the colonists, do not consider
that the colony has been a failure ; that those as-
sembled before him, persons from all classes, who
might fairly be considered the representatives of the
colony, did not think that the care bestowed on the co-

A more pleasant and comfortable day was never spent
ha.n by those on board this noble ship.

GERMANY.
RIOTS IN BOHEMIA.

The spirit of discontent and of riot which, as des-
cribed by us a fortnight ago, had already flown like
wildfire from Silesia to Prague' has since spread
and raged destructively. Scarcely were the outrages
of the cotton-spinners and printers of Prague re-
pressed by the soldiery, when the workmen-on the
railroad near the city caught the infection. This is
the statemeut from Prague it6elf7" Towards the
evening of the Bth of this month, from 6,000 to 7,000
workmen on the railroad, who were also dissatisfied
with their wages, collected tumultuously. They at-
tempted to penetrate into the city by the Spital-gate,
hut, as was to be expected in the present temper of
the lower classes, they found it closed. The military
who were dispatched against the lawless crowds
were received with showers of stones, which wounded
many of the soldiers, and the excited grenadiers, it is
said without having received any command, fired on
mob. A not inconsiderable number (no number i 3
given) were killed and wounded, many innocent
people amongst them, whom curiosity or chance
had led to the scene of combat ; and in particular
a little child which sate on a table in the back
room of the ground floor of a house in the Karolin-
enthal. The military closed all approaches to the
gate, and kept their ground till late in the night,
when the mob dispersed. In the meantime, in the
city, another concourse of the worst classes of the
populace had run together, and traversed the city in
various directions with loud outcries, and dashed in
windows and knocked to pieces the booths in the
Jews' market. A great number of these depredators
were seized and flogged, but again the following day
they assembled in great masses, and cooled their
wrath by the destruction of some thousands of
window-panes.
Bloody as was the result of this outbreak, the de-
struction of property was nothing to that which had
taken place on the 3d in the neighbonrhood of Rei-
chenberg, the great manufacturing district of Bohe-
mia. In the morning of that day a strong troop of
the workmen collected at Katharinaberg, on the black
Niesse, three miles north-east of Reichenberg, before
the farthest factory on the Niesse, and commanded
the workmen there to join them in destroying the
new spinning machinery by which so many people
were become destitute of bread. The troop thus
swelled advanced now down the Niesse from one fac-
tory to another. All the hands were compelled to
Join them. 'As in the factories on the Upper Niesse
there were found no new but merely the old sort of
machines, the mob passed quickly on, without doing
the slightest injury to buildings or machinery.
When the throng arrived at the factory of Herr
Stephen Kiinig, in Habendorf, it had swollen to
some hundreds of men. Here were first found
some of the new machines (bread-thief machines,
as they call them). These were not yet fully
erected. They dragged them into the meadow, and
in a moment they were a mass of ruin. Hence the
throng betook itself through Machendorf, where a
machine was destroyed in the factory of the
bleacher Herr Ohnesorgen, to Hammerstein, where
they presented themselves 600 men strong. In the
great factory of Sigmund, Newhauser, and Co., five
new machines were totally destroyed and flung
into the water. The workmen suffered no injury;
the rest of the machinery and all other property re-
mained untouched. The swarms thence ascended the
great Niesse to Rosenthal, to the factory of Herr Gin-
zel ; broke open the doors, destroyed from thirty to
forty new machines, dashed in the windows and tore
the frames from the walls. The looms with the yarn
were rent to pieces, the wool thrown into the water,
and in an hour's time three great weaving rooms were
thoroughly ransacked, and not a thing was left stand-
ing except the walls. The loss is immense. The mob
then took its way towards the factory of the Herren
Liebig and Co., in Josephinenthal ; but the rumour
of the riot had now spread wide. Three companies
of soldiers were sent off from Jungbunzlau, three
from Prague, and the regiment of Lord Wellington,
in Theresienstadt, had orders to dispatch a battalion.
In the meantime, the town-guard of Reichenberg had
marched out, and after a stout close fight with them,
had succeeded in dispersing them and taking a good
many prisoners.
As we predicted,
.great is the excitement and
discussion which these outbreaks have occasimed
in Germany. The Government Commissions which
have sat, have declared in their reports that dis-
tress and want of work are not the causes of
them, and do not exist. These, again, are con-
tradicted by the newspapers, and the repeated reduc-
tions of the rate of wages are referred to as evidence.
Unfortunately, no rate of wages is given by any party
by which we may judge, but if these bear any rela-
tion to that of the linen-weavers, ls. 6d. for 120 ells,
there is no mystery about the matter. Others, again,
charge the Seehandlung, or Government Association,
for buying up goods and selling them for the pro-
fessed advantage of trade, with adding to the mischief,
and actually adding to the competition against the
native manufacturers. In the Cologne Gazette it is
stated that not only have the linen merchants in
Berlin petitioned the King for the abolition of this
Seehandlung, but that similar ones are preparing from
the Rhine country, and it is added that near Solingen,
a great manufactory of cast steel knives, forks, and
scissors his been erected by this Association, to the
destruction of the same articles in welded steel; all
parties, moreover, arguing loudly for an advance of
the duties of the Zollverein, as we foresaw, and for
sending out able ambassadors to North America and
the Brazils, to draw close the mercantile relations be
tween Germany and these countries. It is declared
that by the present tariff yarns ready prepared and
sized for the weavers, to bring them to which state
two-thirds of the whole labour and cost are required,
are admitted as common yarns, all which cost of
labour flows into the British pocket ; and as regards
American fields of exportation, it is asked whether the
Germans are really aware of the vast extent and popu-
lation of Brazil and Mexico, and that the United States
contain themselves 113,800 geographical square miles ?
These are questions which we, too, must ask ourselves ;
they are doubly significant now that these agitations
force them, so vividly OA the minds of our German
manufacturing rivals.—Atlas.

Coacii ACCIDENT.—As we were preparing for
press last night (Thursday), we received information of an
accident of a very distressing nature, which occurred by the
upsetting of the coach running in connexion with the
steamers to Edinburgh. It appears that the coach was re-
turning to Stirling by the Carse-road, with the passengers
who left Granton-pier by the evening boat, and while at a
sharp and precipitous turn of the road, that part termed the
i 4 fore coach" broke away, and the coach (which was quite
injured. Another
full), after running for a short distance, upset. The copse-
owr•aslekeisllescel zretil3l,e
quence, we regret to state, was, that one gentleman, Mr:
spot, and several
coach was instantly dispatched,' by which
other,l a ra
individualsv,farm ei;, S kienoocrhe,
the sufferers, to
whom every kindness and attention were paid, were con-
veyed to Stirling. So far as we have been able to ascertain,
not the slightest blame attaches to the driver; and, from the
care and attention paid by the company by whom this coach
is conducted, in providing everything calculated to avert
accidents, and to insure the safety of passengers, we are in-
clined to believe that this melancholy event has been one of
those occurrences which no skill could avert, nor the most
solicitous prudence foresee.—Stirling Advertiser.
COACII v. RAILwAY.—As the Engineer coach,
which connects with the 'nail-train at Lancaster, and travels
northward from that town, was descending a declivity about
one mile on this side of Milnthorpe, on Tuesday evening last,
one of the leaders fell, causing immediately the fall of each of
the other horses. The coach was thus suddenly stopped, and
several of the passengers, of whom there were many on the
coach at the time, werers, precipitated to the ground. Fortu-
nately no serious injury was received by any of the passen-
gers, although the horses suffered severely. /11r. P. Harker,
coal-merchant, of this town, was among the passengers, but
was only slightly injured.—Preston Guardian. On Friday
last, -while Mr. Mossley'3 omnibus was on its way from Mac-
clesfield to Leek, and about half a mile from the latter place,
the horses proceeding at a rapid pace down the bill, the
vehicle was violently thrown against the rock or wall, in
turning the curve about the middle of the hill. The passen-
gers were thrown off and out, and several very seriously in-
jured; the omnibus was overthrown, and from the force of
the concussion was found several yards from the wall, on the
other side of the road. There were three outside and two in-
side passengers. The driver is stated to have been intoxi-
cated at the time.
