has succeeded in bringing to public notice the most beautiful article,
ever yet offered; possessing all the -richness of Silver in appearance'
—with all its durability and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in,
use—undergoing, as it does, a chemical process, by which all that is;
nauseous in mixed metals Is entirely extracted—resisting all acids—
may be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured into every article for;

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal is pecu-
liarly his own; and that Silver is not more different from Gold, than
his metal is from all others ;• on its intrinsic merit alone he wishes it,
to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he receives, he
is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an article of uni;
versal wear.

GUILDHALL.

On Aldermen Challis and Johnson taking their seats
in this Court, a letter was handed to them from the
Lord Mayor, the purport of which was to the effect,
that the order he had issued on Friday last with respect
to the treatment of William Henry Barber, the princi-
pal in the late will forgeries, in the Giltspur-street
Compter, had been neglected, and begged that the pre-
siding Magistrates would investigate the conduct of
those persons whose duty it was to have obeyed his di-
rections. Barber complained of the harsh conduct
that had been pursued towards him in the above prison,
by placing him in solitary confinement. The Lord
Mayor immediately gave direction that that order should
be rescinded, and owing to the neglect in carrying his
Lordship's desire into effect, arose the present pro-
ceedings.
Alderman JOHNSON remarked that it was a very se-
rious charge against the prison authorities, and dis-
patched a messenger to that gaol, commanding the at-
tendance of Mr. Whithair, the governor. After the
lapse of a short time that gentleman attended, when
Mr. Alderman Johnson made kkown to him the com-
plaint of the Lord Mayor, and inquired what was the
reason that his Lordship's order had not been acted

upon ?
Mr. Whithair replied, that Barber bad for some time
past had the society of a prisoner named Power, who
had moved in a respectable sphere of life, and therefore
was an agreeable and fit companion. Power, however,
had within the last two or three days been discharged,
and the difficulty arose in providing Barber with a
suitable partner. At the present period he could only
have common street thieves for companions, and he (Mr.
Whithair) had refrained from associating him with them.
That was the reason why the Lord Mayor's order had
not been obeyed, and which still placed Barber in con-
finement by himself.
Alderman JonNsoN hoped that no harsh influence
would be exercised towards the unfortunate man. He
trusted, therefore, as soon as an opportunity should oc-
cur, that Mr. Whithair would provide Barber with a
companion.

DISTURBANCES IN WALES.

Dr. BOWRING wished to know from the Right Hon.
Gentleman the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, whether it was his intention to lay the Report of
the Commissioners who were sent to Wales on the table
of the House.
Sir J. GRAHAM was understood to say that he had
not yet received the Report. As soon as he had re-
ceived it it would be laid before the House.
MEDICAL CHARTERS.
In answer to a question from Mr. MACAULAY on
the subject of medical charters,
Sir J. GRAHAM said that he had no objection to
lay on the table of the House the charters of the College
of Surgeons of London and Dublin. He had also two
Bills nearly ready which he would lay upon the table of
the House, with regard to the medical practice of the
country.

UNION-HALL.

Henry Froud, a bricklayer, residing in James-street,
Kennington, was placed at the bar for re-examination,
charged with cutting and wounding his wife with a
poker, with intent to murder her.
It appeared that on Tuesday evening last, about seven
o'clock, the prisoner went home, and had a few words
with his wife respecting his supper. During the quarrel
he seized the poker and broke it in two by beating her
over the head and body. A lad named Al'Hugh wit-
nessed the brutal treatment, and fetched a constable,
who found the woman lying on the floor in the kitchen
quite insensible from loss of blood. The surgeon who
attended her sent a certificate, which stated that the wife
was in a dangerous state, being enciente.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM, after hearing the above evidence,
remanded the prisoner until this day.
The wife now attended, and appeared to be suffering
severely from :the prisoner's violence; her head was
covered with bruises and adhesive plaster. On being
sworn, she said that her husband came home rather in-
toxicated, when she irritated him by upbraiding him.
She seized the poker, which he wrenched from her, and
broke it by its coming in contact N: ith the stones. She
denied that it was broken by his striking her with it.
Mr. COTTINOHAM remarked that she was a foolish
woman by endeavouring to cloak her brutal husband's
conduct. kle could not believe a word of her statement,
London, England, 1844-02-05

SLAVERY.

Lord BROUGHAM wished to put a question to her
Majesty's Government. A great deal of anxiety and
uneasiness had been excited amongst persons who wished
for the abolition of the slave trade, in consequence of
some report respecting negotiations that were at present
taking place with respect to the treaty of 1838 and 1833
between England and France on the subject of the right
of search. Pending any negotiations he (Lord B.) certainly
did not wish to press for any information that it might
be inconvenient to the public service that the Noble
Earl should give. Perhaps, however, his Noble Friend
might be able to say a few words that might answer the
purpose he (Lord Brougham) had in view by allaying
the anxiety, the great anxiety, which prevailed in the
country upon this subject.
The Earl of ABERDEEN said he should have been
glad if he had been in a position to give to his Noble
and Learned Friend the fullest information he might
desire. The suject was undoubtedly of a very weighty
nature, but from the part taken by his Noble and
Learned Friend on this subject for so many years, it
was natural he should show great interest in reference
to it. It was perfectly true that the French Govern-
ment had expressed a desire 'that such modifications
might be introduced into the treaties which established
the right of search, as without impairing their ,efficiency
might render thew Wore conformable to the feelings of

From Mr. J. SMITH, Glasgow.

• GENTLEMEN,—I have been troubled for years with a dreadful
palpitation of the heart, accompanied with great nervousness and
debility, fir which I have tried everything you could mention, all
to no purpose, till I heard of PAR R's wenderfnl LIFE PILLS,
and a friend of mine desired me t try them, which I did. I bought
them of Mr. Nelson, and lam happy to say that a box if them has
completely restored me.
" If this will do anything to help your efforts you can make
use of it. - " I remain yours, respectfully,
" JAMES SMITH."
From Mr. HENRY B RBER, Druggist, Knutsford.
" Te the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.

" ClercrLzweri,—l forward you a case below, which Mr. T. CASH
wishes to have published; he speaks wonderfully of PARR'S
PILLS, and feels assured they have been the means of saving his
life. We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers
in this neighbourhood.

" DEsa Eta,-.l have been for the last two years dreadfully
afflicted with a cough and pain in the chest, so that I could scarcely
eat the least portion of feed without causing great pain in my
chest, and shortness of breath, with a violent cough, not being able
to lie down for nine mouths; having had the advice of several
medical men, without deriving any benefit, I was advised by a
friend to try PARR'S PILLS, but having tried so many patent
medicines, I thought I might as well throw my money away. I
began to think nothing would cure me ; I was fast wasting away
with a violent pain in my heal ; at last my friend got me a box
rms." raur.abaip, sattadviseat me to try them, so I triad them; Wag

so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I
bad tikes one box, I found so much relief that I tried another;
and-am now happy to say I am as well as ever I was in ray life, and
shall always have a few doves by me, for they are wonderful.

(Signed)

" THOMAS CASH.

' Witnesa--John Thorpe."

a Mr. PARRY has been afflicted wit➢ sore eyes for twelve
yeses, and has tried everything he could hear of without the least
oenefit, but since taking two boxes of PARR'S PILLS, his eyes
are quite well, and have been for some time.

" Mrs. SMITH has been troubled with a pain in her head for
many years, has had the most respectable medical advice, without
receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since she has taken three
toxes of PARR'S PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a hox to
persons troubled with a sick headache; I shall always have a
supply by me. •
" These cues I have selected from a number of others, and can
rely upon them as being correct. I shall feel great pleasure in
giving every information to any person who may favour me with
a call. " I am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant,

tered on the Journals of the House.

THE CLONTARF MEETING.

Colonel RAWDON gave notice that on Thursday,
the 15th inst., he should move an address to the Crown,
praying her Majesty to order an inquiry into the cause
of the delay in the publication of the proclamation on
the subject of the great Clontarf meeting.
RIGHT OF SEARCH.

Sir CHARLES NAPIER wished to repeat the ques-
ion he twice last session put to the Right Hon Baronet
t the head of her Majesty's Government, as t the in-
tructions given to the Commanders of British cruisers,
n reference to the American cruisers on the African
coast. He also wished to ask the Right lion. Baronet
if he had received any information of the establishment
of military posts by the Americans on the Oregon
frontier ?

Sir R. PEEL said, with respect to the first question
of the Gallant Commodore, as to the instructions issued
to our cruisers on the coast of Africa, he would give
the Gallant Commodore an answer to-morrow or next
day. With respect to the second question, he had no
other information than the Gallant Officer himself pos-
sessed.
POOR RATES (IRELAND).
Mr. FRENCH moved for a return of the dates and
places where the military have been employed in Ire-
land in the forcible collection of poor-rates, between the
Ist of January, 1843, and the Ist of January, 1844 ;
also the return of the number of men employed ; and
also the amount of rate uncollected.
SUGAR DUTIES.

Mr. PATTISON said he wished to ask the Right
Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government
whether it was the intention of the Government to make
any alteration in the sugar duties ?
Sir R. PEEL said that the fact of the Hon. Gentle-
man being one of the youngest Members of the House,
could alone justify him in putting such a question.
THE OREGON TERRITORY.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL understood that it had been
stated that negotiations had been entered into with
