The thousands of Individuals who have had the pleasure of using
Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye, pronounce it to be the only Dye

hair to a dark brown or black, and it can be proved incontestibly
that it is the safest dye in its use that ever was prepared. Red or
grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, moustaches, &c., are changed without
trouble, byi simply using a comb wetted with the liquid; (me applica
tion will produce a pleasing and a permanent change. The colour

became grey, wear new their own. Also, thousands of gentlemen

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" We regard the work before us, '‘ The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
" The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

WORSHIP-STREET.

THE LATE SUSPICIOUS INCIDENT AT BETHNAL-
GREEN WORRHOUSE.—Mary Todd, the wife of a porter
in a City warehouse, who stood charged with having
been concerned in concealing the birth of a male
infant, the body of which she had surreptitiously in-
troduced into the Bethnal-green Workhouse, on the
admission of its mother, a young woman named
Martha Goffee, who is now an inmate of that house,
was put to the bar, before Mr. Broughton, for final
examination.

Rowland, the officer, intimated to the Magistrate
that a coroner's inquest had been held on the body of
the child, at which the jury had returned a verdict of
" Found dead," and that the parish officers had no
further evidence to offer in support of the charge
against the prisoner.
Mr. BROUGHTON, under these circumstances, ordered
the prisoner to be discharged.

Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 Vols., post Svo.,
pARSONS and WIDOWS.
By the AUTHOR of " PETER PRIGGINS."
" Those who have read the former publications of the author of
Parsons and Widows,' will be prepared for the rich treat which Li
supplied by his present work. The delineations of character with
which it abounds, and the Incidents, evidently derived from facts—
fiction could not speak to the heart as these do—render the narratives
of the several clergymen who are supposed to give the strange and
eventful histories of their progress through life, replete with varied
interest. Certain downy doctors and rubicund rectors also come in
for a fair share of ridicule and reproof. The widows are hit off to
perfection, and are sure to please every one."—Globe.

CLERKEIV WELL.

Patrick Gamon was charged with cutting and
wounding police-constalbe Higgins, 130 of the N
division ; also with violently assaulting police-con-
stable Gooderam, 433 N.
• Higgins, whose life was at one time despaired of,
was present. His voice was so faint, that there was
great difficulty in gleaning his testimony.
He deposed, that on the night of the 12th inst. he
heard the noise of fighting in High-street, Islington,
between 11 and 12 o'clock. He went up to them
and told them to go away. They used very bad lan-
guage, but at length dispersed. About an hour after
the same party, amongst whom was the prisoner, as-
sembled in High-street. He again told them to go
away. They went down Pansley's.court swearing
and using the most violent language. When a few
yards down the court, one of them said "If you
come down here, we'll soon do for you." He did not
follow them immediately ; but, in a short time after,
hearing cries in the court, he went down, and had not
advanced more than a few yards when a brick was
thrown at him.
_He saw the man who flung it and

arrested him. He was turning round to take him to
the station-house, when several of them attacked him.
His hat was knocked off, and the prisoner, with a
brick firmly clenched in his hand, struck him twice
with all his force on the head and knocked him down.

One of the party seized his hand, and the prisoner
jobbed the sharp edge of the brick into his head
twice, and he became insensible ; when he recovered

consciousness, he found his collar-bone broken and
four deep wounds on his head. He positively identi-
fied the prisoner as the person who jobbed the brick
into his head.
Police-constables Gooderam and March confirmed
Higgins's testimony.
Mr. R. Sample, surgeon to the Islington police
force, has examined Higgins, and found four deep
wounds on his head, and his clevicle was fractured.

Iliggins's life had been in great danger. Had known
persons to die from much less severe wounds.
The prisoner denied his guilt, and was fully com-
mitted to the Old Bailey for trial.

We had a fair average supply of English Wheat on offer
to-day. The first qualities were in steady demand, at fully
last week's prices ; but in other kinds very little was
doing. In Foreign Wheat the business doing was trifling,
yet we can notice no alteration in value. The best
Malting barley was in steady request, at full prices. In
other kinds, owing to the extensive supplies offering,
very little was doing. Malt, Oats, Beans, and yeas
ruled about stationary.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS

The perfection of these Lamps over the Testa has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.

CLERKEAN WELL.

Patrick Garcon was charged with cutting and
wounding police-constalbe Higgins, 130 of the N
division ; also with violently assaulting police-con-
stable Gooderam, 433 N.

Higgins, whose life was at one time despaired of,
was present. His voice was so faint, that there was
great difficulty in gleaning his testimony.
He deposed, that on the night of the 12th inst. he
heard the noise of fighting in High-street, Islington,
between 11 and 12 o'clock. He went up to them
and told them to go away. They used very bad lan-
guage, but at length dispersed. Abotit an hour after
the same party, amongst whom was the prisoner, as-
sembled in High-street. He again told them to go
away. They went down Pansley's•court swearing
and using the most violent language. When a few
yards down the court, one of them said "If you
come down here, we'll Loon do for you." He did not
follow them immediately ; but, in a short time after,
hearing cries in the court, he went down, and had not
advanced more than a few yards when a brick was
thrown at him. He saw the man who flung it and
arrested him. He was turning round to take him to
the station-house, when several of them attacked him.
His hat was knocked off, and the prisoner, with a
brick firmly clenched in his hand, struck him twice
with all his force on the head and knocked him down.
One of the party seized his hand, and the prisoner
jobbed the sharp edge of the brick into his head
twice, and he became insensible ; when he recovered
consciousness, he found his collar-bone broken and
four deep wounds on his head. He positively identi-
fied the prisoner as the person who jobbed the brick
into his head.

Police-constables Gooderam and March confirmed
Higgins's testimony.
Mr. R. Sample, surgeon to the Islington police
force, has examined Higgins, and found four deep
wounds on his head, and his clevicle was fractured.
Higgins's life had been in great danger. Had known
persons to die from much less severe wounds.

The prisoner denied his guilt, and was fully com-
mitted to the Old Bailey for trial.
Frederick Webb was charged with violently assaulting
police-constable 25 G.
It appeared from the evidence that the constable
attempted to separate two females who were fighting in
the Bagnigge-wells-road on the previous night, when
the prisoner rushed upon them. A mob gathered,
several of whom pelted the constable. The prisoner
rushed upon him and struck him violently on the face,
chest, and side, and kicked him in the abdomen. The
police at the station hearing the cries of the mob, came
to his assistance, and the prisoner was secured.
He was sentenced to a month's imprisonment, without
the power of releasing himself by the payment of a fine.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
, The arrivals of English Wheat, coastwise as well as
landtole-
rably gorid
carriage, up to our market last week, were tole-
though not to say large. Of Barley, both of
home and foreign growth, the receipts were on the in-
c,re3se. while nearly the whole of the latter, from the
may having receded to 3s per quarter, has been entered
for home consumption. Of all other articles of Grain,
the supplies were rather scanty. Fresh up, a fair ave-
rage quantity of Wheat came to hand from Essex and
bent, in good condition ; but from all other quarters the
arrivals were very scanty. The show of' samples of both
red and white was moderately good, while the finest par-
cels were in fair request, at prices quite equal to those
obtained On this day se'nnight ; while, in other kinds,
onlya limited business was doing at previous quota-
-1"s• The quantity of foreign Wheat on offer
was but limited, while holders in general were very
I;rto• and obtained full prices in every instance.
411 Wheat and other corn under lock so little was doing,
that the quotations ruled almost nominal. Owing, as
lv,e have before observed, to the large influx of foreign
41.1?)., and to the present low rate of duty, that article
..as In good supply to-day. That, as well as English,
" a dull sale. The finest qualities were Is, other kinds
43 to 2s per quarter lower than last w(ek, without any
Progress being made in sales. Notwithstanding the
t6PPlby of Malt was small, the inquiry for it was heavy.
1-est Chevalier was held at full rates ; but the value
of other parcels had a downward tendency. Oats, for
te limited receipts, moved off steadily, and prices were
firmly supported. Beans were a dull sale, at a decline of
l 8 Per quarter. The same may be said of Maple and
Grey Peas. The Flour trade was again dull, at last
weeks figures.

and his son had been at variance, but their mutual
friends at length succeeded in bringing about a recon-
ciliation. And on the occasion of Kean's king leave
of the stage, they played together ; the on as Othello,
the other as lago. In the first scenes, wh h are tame,
Kean got on very well ; but when he cam i o the words,
"Farewell!! Othello's occupation's gone !" he moved his
fingers beseechingly to his son, who stoo at the side
while he fronted the audience, and as th former came
forward he faltered, fell on his shoulder, and was obliged
to be taken out, while Ward came on and finished the
part for him. In a few days after he was no more.'
" It is a fact,' he resumed, after a deep sigh, ' that
Edmund Kean could never play till he was three-parts
drunk. Of course,' he said, addressing the cadaverous-
looking barrister beside him, you have heard of Fred.
Cooke, the contemporary of Elliston and John Kemble.
His passion for drink was so great, that when he was
without money, or means of raising it, he has been
known to go to a certain pawnbroker's, where he was in
the habit of applying, and to say, I want five guineas ;
but I have nothing to pledge but myself. Give me the
money, they'll be sure to redeem me when I'm wanted.'
And having sent word to the theatre of his situation, he
has frequently been found seated on the pawnbroker's
counter, with a duplicate pinned to his buttonhole. On
one occasion, when Elliston wished him particularly to
be quite correct, he invited him to dinner, and after-
wards begged he would oblige him by submitting to one
thing, which Fred. promised. He, however, looked ra-
ther funny when Elliston, drawing him into a small room
in the theatre, told him he must content himself there
till it was time to dress. As there was no getting off,
Cook consented ; but after being locked in for some
time, he began to long horribly for punch. By and by,
he heard a noise of a broom on the stairs. Hope revived
---he called, Mary, Betsy !---whatever your name is,
come here, for God's sake !' and he contrived, while
curiosity made the maid pause in her labour, to push a
crown-piece between the door and the floor—' There,
that's for you ; and Mary (pushing through another), go
like a good girl, and get me a pint of brandy and a clean
pipe with this.'
" Oh, Sir, I dare not ! Master desired that I
shouldn't come near the door, Sir, nor speak to you upon
any account.' _ _

;" Pshaw ! Go, do as I tell you, and you shall have
another by and by.'
" The girl was not proof against the bribe. The
brandy and pipe were both brought, and the tube of the
latter being put through the keyhole, the bowl was filled
on the outside, and in this way the liquor was sucked up
as the Americans drink sherry-cobler. It is hardly ne-
cessary to say, that on Elliston's coming to let him out,
Fred. was found on his back ; but a plentiful supply of
soda water enabled him to go through his part as effec-
tively as ever."
