SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious Metals, called Nickel and Germaa Silver, sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, 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 dura-
bility 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 the Table and

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than his metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone ho
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINE LAMPS.
The perfection of these Lamps ever the Vesta 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.

RAILWAY CONVERSATION.
" Two gentlemen" met in the Liverpool train,
And of humour they seemed to possess a rich vein ;
Their converse partook of the news of the day,
And questions and answers quite filled up the way ;
They talk'd of the weather, the crops, and the trade,
And versatile talent they quickly display'd.
They talk'd of Fringe Albert, the Queen, and her trip,
And mercantile matters they likewise let slip:—
" Oh I Hyam," said one, without question or doubt,
" Is firmly establish'd all England throughout -
For at Birmingham, Liverpool, London, and Leeds,
I hear that his system bravely succeeds;
Whilst Manchester, Bristol, and Glasgow likewise,
Are daily the scenes of his mighty supplies!"
" 'Tis strange," said the other, " and hard to believe,
What efforts like his can attempt to achieve ;
And the ' mind' that can wield such a mighty design,
Is worthy the favours the public assign!
Why the men he employs in his vast occupation,
To Ten Thousand amount at a fair estimation !
And full Sixty Thousand depend for support
On these popular places of fame and resort !"
The fact is established beyond contradiction,
And must bring to all a most certain conviction,
That Hyam derives every chance that arises,
And proves he can sell at one-half the trade prices!

GRIAISTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the
Patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury, is universally re.
commended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing disorders
incident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS HEADACHE AND
DEAFNESS CURED!
By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure; many thousand
oures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling expense, yet
certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary to induce the
mflerer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Commons have used it.
the Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Ma-
jesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical
Practitioners—with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised
Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as "Grim.
stone's Eye Snuff," for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident
to the Eyes and Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F.R.S. See J. B. Lach-
field, Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls It
a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The late
Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grimstone's Eye
Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the "Student's Vade
Mecum."
Dr. Andrews also recommends its use as a preventive. Sec his
reports in Nov. lezi. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the
membrane, within the nostrils, with the nervous systeof m the t Grim-
est
stome's Eye Snuff, when frequently taken, must begreat
benefit to the consumer; and, further, recommends its universal
adoption as a preventative.
Dr. Thomas, of Hatfield, having witnessed many cases both of
headache and ophthalmia, has kindly given his testimony thereof.

not only of his own countrymen, but also of natives
of England. The handbill which announced the
meeting contained the following energetic appeal :
" Irishmen, Englishmen, rally round the great moral
regenerator of his own nation and people, and the
benefactor of man in every country. Uphold and
prove your gratitude to the man who has generously
sacrificed his time and his fortune to emancipate his
fellow-creatures of every creed and country from the
horrid slavery of intemperance. Come, therefore,
and make a sacrifice to support him."
On the motion of Mr. F. O'CONNOR,
Mr. Bucaisiunam took the chair, and announced
the object of the meeting. He exhorted those pre-
sent to assist in forwarding the great purpose for
which they were assembled. He presumed that the
reason why he had been elected to fill the chair was,
that he had been a coadjutor of Father Mathew in
much of his labours both in Ireland and this country,
and was thus enabled to speak on his behalf both as
a witness and an advocate. Many persons of greater
importance might have been appointed to the post
to which he had been called, but none who knew
better the character of the man to whom he had to
refer, and in doing so he should confine himself to the
most strictly truthful representations. Having ad-
verted to the general prevalence of intemperance in
the British islands until of late years, and borne tes-
timony to the invaluable services of Mr. Mathew in
eradicating the evil in some quarters, and greatly
mitigating it in others, Mr. I3uckingham, in illus-
tration of the extent of the evil and the necessity of
checking it, stated that the amount of the premature
deaths from drunkenness in these kingdoms was not
year. He then described the
progress of the temperance movement,
originles s thana n d6O ,000 it
interspersing the narrative with a variety of appro-
priate statistical details. He passed a high eulo-
gium upon Father Mathew for his zeal, disin-
terestedness, and enthusiasm in the cause, and ac-
counted for the pecuniary embarrassments in which
he is involved, by explaining that he had sacrificed
large sums of money in supporting and ministering
to the wants of those pilgrims of temperance who re-
sorted to his house from remote distances. This, and
the expense of the temperance medals, which he dis-
tributed gratuitously in large numbers, and of the
foundation of temperance halls, and the establishment
of temperance bands, and other measures which were
necessary to perpetuate the great regeneration which
he had originated, but which occasioned a -large ex-
penditure, for which he was responsible, had placed
him in his present difficulties. the result of Father
Mathew's efforts was that 5,000,000 out of 8,000,000
of people were made converts to temperance. What
was that worth ? Ile did nothesitate to say 5,0Q0,000/.
sterling at the least—there being 1,500,000 of tee-
totallers in England and Scotland, and
5,000,000 in Ireland. This was a benefit
far greater than the emancipation of the negroes, for
which we had paid 20 millions of money. He could
not think that there would be any difficulty in raising
a sum of money sufficient, not only to relieve Mr.
Mathew from his difficulties, but to provide for him a
handsome annuity, when he reflected upon a calcula-
tion which had been made, and which proved that a
sum of a penny a month, from every teetotaller in
the three kingdoms, would create a fund of 250,0001.
a-year. After another handsome tribute to the exer-
tions of Mr. Mathew, the Chairman called upon
Mr. PURVIS to move the first resolution, which
consisted of a declaration of the great value of Father
Mathew's services and the justice of rescuing
from the straits in, which his benevolence and philan-
thropy had alone placed him. Mr. Purvis announced
his own readiness to contribute five guineas for the
purpose. The resolution was appropriately seconded,
and earnestly
responded to (even before it was for-
wally adopted) by the eager liberality of those pre-
sent, who flocked in crowds to deposit their contribu-
tions in a plate prepared to receive them.
Mr. P. O'CONNOR supported the resolution, and
said that the support of Father Mathew was incum-
bent not only upon teetotallers, but also upon every
man who drank a drop, and even upon the drunkard
himself. He then expressed his satisfaction at the
change -which Mr. Buckingham had described as
having taken place in his country, and stated that in
the course of his former practice at the bar in Ireland,
which had not been slight, he had never been called
upon to defend a sober man against an impeachment
for crime. If the 5,000,000 in Ireland would sub-
scribe a penny a week each, it would amount to up-
wards of a million sterling a year. Father Mathew
had given ears, eyes, and comprehension to Ireland.
He thanked God that drunkenness was now the ex-
ception in that country, where it had hitherto been
the rule. He then called upon the meeting to be
liberal in their efforts in support of the temperance
martyr, and invoked them with the pithy sermon of
Dean Swift :—" Ile that giveth to the poor lendeth
to the Lord. If you like your security, down with
your dust."
The resolution was unanimously adopted, as were
also some others, which were introduced with speeches
in furtherance of the object ; and a considerable col-
lection was made on the spot. A committee was ap-
pointed to keep the subscription books open till the
end of the year.

THE LATE SWINDLING AFFAIR.

(From the Birmingham Journal.)
On Wednesday a number of respectable tradesmen
who had been swindled by the blind man, of whose
nefarious transactions we gave an account last week,
came before the magistrates (Messrs. Shaw and Nel-
son), for the purpose of detailing their grievances, and
laying, if possible, a foundation for the arrest of the
gang by whom they had been robbed.
The first gentleman who presented himself was Aft.
W. Arnold, solicitor, of Bennett's-hill, who stated that
he applied for a warrant against a blind man, named
Rice, and his accomplice, Joliffe, who had lately been
practising upon him and numerous attorneys and
tradesmen in the town. Indeed, he believed some of
the oldest and most respectable practitioners had been
defrauded by the swindlers, although they were
rather ashamed to come forward. He, however, felt
no difficulty about the matter ; and, considering that
it was his duty to aid in detecting and punishing
such persons, he should state the facts of his case, and
ask for a warrant against the parties. The week
before last Rice, who was a blind man, accompanied
by a youth of most respectable appearance, called at
his office, presented his card, and stated that he was
recommended to him by, Mr. Smith, of New-street, a
friend of his (Mr. Arnold's). After a few words,
Rice told him that he wished him to write to a man
named Joliffe, of the Aston-road, for. a debt of
631. 10s. He accordingly wrote, and in a day
or two after Joliffe galled at his (Arnold's) office, and
expressed his great regret that Mr. Rice should have
proceeded against him, particularly as he did not owe
all the money sued for. He (Mr. Arnold) then agreed
to accept 581. on the Monday following, in discharge
of the debt due to Rice; and Joliffe was about to
leave, when he expressed himself very grateful for
the kind manner in which the debt had been reduced,
and begged him (Mr. Arnold) to accept a guinea for
his trouble, which he, of course, declined to do, and
Joliffe left the office. On the Monday following Rice
called again, and, on being informed of the arrange-
ment made with Joliffe, he appeared quite delighted,
observing that he never really expected to have re-
covered the money. He then proceeded to say that
he had advanced Joliffe 30'. upon some deeds, and
being short of cash he had assigned the deeds to
another party, at Coventry, for 20/., and had not then
the money to redeem the writings previously to their
being delivered up to Joliffe on Monday. He then
asked him (Mr. Arnold) if he could advance him 201.,
and the latter replied he would if he had so much in
his desk, but opening it he found he had only 101.
Rice immediately said that would do for the present,
as he could borrow the remainder from some friend,
upon which he handed him the money, and took his
0 U for the amount, and the boy attested it.
.the money and deeds were to be delivered on
Saturday, the latter to be given up to Joliffe on Mon-
day, when he paid the 581. Before leaving the office,
Rice expressed himself deeply grateful to Mr. Arnold
for the accommodation, and, as a small recompense
for his trouble, begged his acceptance of 31. 3s. This
offer he refused, saying that it was unprofessional
to accept of any consideration of the kind, and Rice
then left the office. On Saturday he was hourly ex-
pecting Mr. Rice with the money and deeds, but the
gentleman not arriving, he (Mr. Arnold) was be-
ginning to wonder, when he took up the Birmingham
Journal, and his eye caught a paragraph headed
" A New Way to Raise the Wind; the Lawyers
Outwitted ;" and thinking it something strange for
those honourable gentlemen to be done, he read the
article, and soon perceived that he himself was one
out of a number of the professional gentlemen who
had been swindled. Under these circumstances he
applied for a warrant against Rice and his associate,
as there could be no doubt they had been acting
in concert.

Mr. W. Hall said there were several other per-
sans in the town who had been swindled, but he could
not get them to the office, as they did not like to ap-
pear under the circumstances. The parties then left
the Court. _ _

We have received several communications from
gentlemen in London and elsewhere, who, have recog-
nised in Mr. Rice, from the case reported by us last
Week, an old acquaintance. One of our correspon-
dents, a sufferer, who dates his nose from the Par-
thenon Club, Regent-street, informs -.us that the
blind man, when practising in town, went by the
name of "C. Radly, tailor, 13, Hatfield-street,
Stamford-street, Borough," and his accomplice by
the name of " Charles Portlock Attwood, of Eltham,
Kent." Another correspondent, a professional' ipn-
man, • who, we have no doubt, was also victimised,
says he can furnish a clue to the discovery and ap-
prehension of the scoundrels, should any measures be
determined upon for bringing them to justice. This
gentleman's address we shall be happy to furnish, if
required, as he is most willing to lend a hand in
bringing the transactions of the swindling company to
a close. It appears the parties are well known to the
metropolitan police, whose vigilance they have suc-
ceeded in eluding ; we trust our Birmingham force
will be more successful when they make the attempt.

JERSEY ROYAL COURT.—
WEDNESDAY.
(From the Jersey Times.)

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS-IN RR C. C. WILSON.

The Attorney-General read a report signed " J. P.
De Ste Croix, Depute-Vicomte," wherein it was
stated that on Monday last Mr. J. Kandich, Governor
of her Majesty's gaol in this island, was served with
a copy of a writ of habeas corpus, emanating from the
Court of Queen's Bench, ordering the said Kandich
immediately to bring before that tribunal the body of
Charles Carus IVilson, at this moment a prisoner for
contempt of Court. The writ was served by Colonel
Davidson, who at the same time tendered a Bank of
England note for 51., being the amount of expenses
allowed by Mr. Justice Patteson, and endorsed on
the writ.

The Attorney-General then went on to observe,
that in several charters, granted by various Sove-
reigns of England, it was expressly stipulated that
no summons, or order, from any of the Courts at
Westminster ran in this island. His Majesty George
lIL ordered all Acts having force of law in this island
to be registered, for the better information of his sub-
jects in these islands. The' Habeas Corpus Act had
never been sent for registration until the year 1832,
when it was transmitted to both Jersey and Guernsey ;
but the States, fearing this would encroach on their
privileges, sent deputies to London, who made such
representations as induced the Government at that
period to abandon the subject without pressing for
the registration. The charters of Queen Elizabeth
and of James 11. assured to the authorities of the
island of Jersey full power in all judicial matters.
In the latter, more particularly, it was stated—
as he would show the Court—that they were fully
empowered to treat all causes, " personal, mixtes,
pecuniary, criminal, and capital, wherein a native
was concerned, and that without any interference,
summons, writ, letter, warrant, or order from any
tribunal in Great Britain, except in those cases where
his Majesty or his successors reserve to themselves
the right of hearing, and deciding any appeal made to
them from the judgments of the jurats, said causes
to be treated according to the laws, customs, and
usages of the island, all orders, warrants, or sum-
monses from any other court notwithstanding ; the
natives not being compelled to answer such orders,
warrants, or summonses, but being allowed to rest in
quiet to await justice in their court without fear of
fine or penalty for contempt or contumacy." The
Learned Gentleman concluded by remarking, that in
consequence of what had taken place on Monday,
and considering the importance of the subject as re-
garded the privileges and immunities of the islands,
he would move the Court to take the matter into
their serious deliberation -and consideration and to
resist the writ, at the same time grounding their
judgment on the documents he had quoted and on all
other such as had bearing on the question at issue.
Of these there was a great number to read at present,
but he would show that at a later period, when the
code of 1771 was confirmed, these charters were as-
serted and the plenary powers granted to this tribunal
recognised. In fact, all the Sovereigns had, if not
added to, at least confirmed them.
The Bailli• observed, that as this writ would
seriously militate against our privileges, it was de-
serving of serious and mature consideration. The
subject being of an important nature, he thought
the judges had better retire in order to consult
together.

—All the judges present concurring in the Presi-
dent's opinion retired, with the exception of Mr. E.
Nicolle, who stated that his opinion was already
formed, and he did not think it necessary to retire.
After a deliberation which lasted exactly three
hours and a quarter the jurats returned, and, after
silence had been restored, the clerk of the Court read I
their decision, which was of a very lengthy nature,
embodying the substance of the various charters and
the constitution of King John, by which the judges
of this Royal Court, in conjunction with twelve
itinerant English justicers or judges, are pronounced
a sufficient tribunal, from whose decisions lay no
appeal but to the Sovereign. On the authority of sll
those various documents, and considering that the
said C. C. Wilson could, if he thought himself in-
jured by the judgment given against him, have it re-
examined by presenting a remonstrance, and, if not
satisfied then, could appeal by doleance to her Ma-
jesty in Council, the Court ordered the gaoler to take
no notice whatever of the said writ of hahcas corpus,
and expressed it as, their opinion that Justice Patta-
son had been deceived respecting the question of
jurisdiction.

All the jurats approved of the written judgment.
Jurat E. Nicolle, in giving his opinion, said that the
Bailli, forming part of the deputation sent in 1832,
must necessarily know what was said by Government
on the subject.
The Bailli—They abandoned it.
Jurat E. Nicolle—Then I presume the Adminis-
tration of 1844 will do the same as that of 1832. I
did not think it was necessary for the Court to notice
the matter. This case will, of course, set the matter
at rest as to whether the writ doth or doth not run.

MULTIPLICITY OP STREETS SIMILARLY NAMED.
—The following occurrence will, it is imagined, show
the extreme folly of having so many streets in the me-
tropolis of the same name :—A few nights ago, a girl,
about sixteen years of age, named Caroline Brown, a
native of Reading, and who was staying at tho house of
her uncle, Mr. Sabberton, 5, George-street, Bagnigge-
wells-road, was sent out upon an errand, but, not re-
turning for several hours after, her uncle became
alarmed, and gave information at the Clerkenwell police-
station, having in vain endeavoured, after many hours'
search, to discover her. It appeared, at length, that the
poor girl, who is of rather weak intellect, had wandered
about, and that she was found crying on the step of a
door, in George-street, Portman-square. She was taken
to the station-house, when Inspector Tudman sent her,
in company of a constable, to no less than five George-
streets, at none of which was she known. The inspector
kindly procured a lodging for her at a coffee-shop for
the night, and in the morning she was restored to her
uncle, whose address was at last ascertained. _ _

CORONER'S INQUEST.—SUICIDE.—Yesterday after-
noon a jury was impannelled before Mr. William Carter,
coroner for East Surrey, at the Rose and Crown, Long-
lane, Bermondsey, to inquire into the circumstances at-
tending the death of Mr. William Jonathan Pragnall,
aged 35 years, a master brass-finisher, carrying on an
extentensive business at 98, Long-lane, who committed
suicide :—Mr. Robert Tremaine, of 23, White-street,
Borough, said, that in consequence of information he re-
ceived on Friday last, he was induced to go todeceased's
house. lie there found him in bed and apparently in
great agony. lie appeared perfectly sensible and knew
witness, who asked him if he had taken anything ? 1)e-
-ceased replied that he had swallowed a large quantity of
arsenic and corrosive sublimate Messrs. Wagstaffe and
other medical gentlemen were called in, and did all that
the nature of the case would would permit, but deceased
died at four o'clock the following morning. John Wise,
the sexton of Bermondsey, said he saw deceased on Fri-
day last ; he was then in a very excited state, and he
said that what he had taken was owing to the miscon
duct of his wife. Mr. Sharp, a surgeon, was sent for,
but that gentleman believing he had not taken poison,
nothing was then given to him, and Mr. Gibson advised
him to return home and live comfortably with his wife.
Deceased and his wife walked away together, apparently
reconciled to each other. Miss Caroline Tremaine said
she saw the deceased alive on Friday afternoon last. He
then called at her brother's, whom he asked to see. On
witness telling him that her brother was out, he replied,
" I am sorry for that, for lie will never see me alive
again." He afterwards shook hands with witness and
her sister, saying as he left, " Good bye, God bless you
bath, lam now off to my long home.' lie also alluded
to his wife's misconduct, and said he had taken poison
because he could bear it no longer. Verdict, `f Tem-
porary insanity."
COLLISION or VESSELS.—The ship George, Capt.
Roberts, from St. Vincent, arrived in Kingroad late on
Wednesday night, during a heavy gale of wind from
S.S.E., having during the day lost two anchors and
cables off the Nass Point ; having, moreover, another
over the bow ready to let go. In ranging up past the
quarantine ground, off Portsbead, the night being very
dark and dirty, the schooner Nora Creina, Orfeur, 173
tons burden, which arrived on the 10th from Smyrna,
with a cargo of valonia, and lying at quarantine, was
run on board of, end on, and immediately sank. All
hands were providentially saved, but the vessel and cargo
are a total loss. The schooner is sunk in 8 fathoms law
water, and was anchored with 45 fathoms chain, in
charge of a steady careful pilot, James Ray. The
George is in charge of Mr. Joseph Bunn, licensed pilot,
and was towed up to Cumberland Basin this morning by
two steamers. She has lost top-gallant masts, and ap-
pears to have sustained other damage.—Bristol Gazette of
Thurs.lay.
A numerous public meeting was held at the Lite-
rary and Scientific Institution,'Fitzroy-square, on Friday
evening, convened by the Anti-Persecution Union. to
take into consideration the conduct of Messrs. Hark-
worth, Cookman, and Firbank, magistrates of Hull,
who have lately fined a bookseller in that town 201. for
receiving 2d. admission money at a public lecture. The
meeting was addressed by Messrs. Hetherington, South-
well, llolyoake, Parker, Ellis, and Mrs. Martin—George
Bird, Esq., in the chair. Resolutions, condemnatory of
the conduct of the magistrates ab9ve-named, were unaai-
mo❑sly passed, and it was determined to take legal pro-
ceedings, with a view to procuring the fine to be an-
.nulk tt The meeting did not separate until a late hour
