3/10XON'S EFFERVESCENT MAG-
A_ NESIAN APERIENT, for Bilious 'Affections,
Ileart-burn, Costiveness, Gravel, &e. This unique Pre-
paration unites the active medicinal properties of the most
efficient Saline Purgatives, with all the agreeableness of a
glass of Soda Water ; the disengagement cf the Carbonic
Acid Gas, during the exhibition, renders it peculiarly
grateful to the Stomach, correcting Nausea and Sickness.
It has been found of great service by several individuals
subject to attacks of the Gait, for allaying Irritation, cor-
recting Acidity, and abating Fever. As a Cooling Purga-
tive for Children, it is peculiarly acceptable from its agree-
able taste, and no less so as an adjunct to a Mercurial Pill
over night. A Dose taken early in the morning will re-
store the tone of the Stomach, and allay those febrile
symptoms consequent on indulging too freely in the luxuries
of the table. Its portabluness and the convenience with
which it is mixed recommend 'it to the attention of all
Travellers, particularly those visiting or residing in hot
climates. It has obtained the sanction of several distin-
guished members of the Faculty, and has been denominated
by a most respectable Practitioner at Chester, " the best,
and mildest, and pleasantest Purgative he ever took."

The new Flower-garden stands neat in the
range of fancy improvements at Windsor Castle;
and although of no considerable extent in itself,
contains, nevertheless, a greater variety of novel
and miniature scenery, disposed and executed on
a chaster scale, than perhaps any thing of the
like nature his Majesty is possessed of. It may
be about three acres in extent, and stands partly
before and partly under his Majesty's favourite
apartments in the Castle. This apparent little
Eden, if the comparison may be admitted, has
two very handsome entrances—one from the
Grand Terrace, generally appropriated to his Ma-
jesty's state band on particular occasions, and
which, as has been already stated, overhangs it on
the east side ; the other from the Orangery,
which greatly ornaments its collateral boundary.
When you descend by the terrace stairs into the
garden, you are carried in any direction your
fancy may lead you, by a fine straw coloured
walk:18 feet wide, which winds round the whole
of the garden, and which in many places crosses,
meets, and stretches in a parallel course, with great
numbers of minor walks, bearing away apparently
to a hundred points, but so ingeniously disposed as
not to arrive at any specific one. Next to these beau-
tiful walks, which are greatly admired for their
eccentric yet highly pleasing qualities, the foun-
tain seems to be the most prominent object in
the scene, being situated in the centre of the
garden, and bosom of many thousand select
shrubs and flowers, tastefully arranged into many
convex, circular, semicircular, and various other
figured beds and clumps. The fountain is sup-
plied through conduits from the Thames—the
great source of many of our amusements and
comforts; and if some will adjudge it too small,
yet it cannot be denied the characteristic of being
sufficiently -equal to the purpose for which it was
designed, and in exact proportion to the other
objects of this happy little arboratum. It is sur-
rounded with a very neat gravel walk, richly
hemmed - with a fine verdant border, spangled
with a vast collection of tulips, roses, lilies, &c. &c.,
which at once give it an air of peculiar sweetness
and originality. His Majesty appears to be
highly pleased with these acquisitions to the
CaStle scenery, and also with the improvements
nearly accomplished at the Cottage or Royal
Lodge.
The improvements at the Cottage arc princi-
pally ccnhned to the exterior of the building, and
consist chiefly in the altetrations made in the
Veranda, and the erection of a little Temple, or
Observatory, on that part of it which overlooks
and approximates to the Private Chapel. The
Veranda has been raised two feet higher than it
was ; and although-it has hitherto looked well in
our eyes, and to every appearance. incapable of
receiving any _ additional grace or amendment
from the muses taste and hand,. yet .we mu*

confess,-the late alteration mace in its exterior is
of that particular caste, as to 'fore() from us at
Once the opeif acknowledgmenVof its indispen-
, sible eft et, and beauty. ••
' The noble windows which always Efraced ..the
basement suite of apartments are now seen cy
the highest advantage, and by the- elevation of
the Veranda are enabled to come more entirely
within . the influence of the sun, and consfi-
quently reflect a greater portion of light through
the internal chambers, at any, time such may be
considered necessary. Besides, this single ad-
vantage of additional light, which of itsellmight
safely justify the present construction of the
Veranda, it has also opened a more enlarged
prospect of the inimitable scenery stretching fin-
miles before the Cottage, and, including in the
range of objects a large portion of 'Windsor
Park, Sandpit Gate, and CtiMberland Lodge.
As we have mentioned Windsor. t;reat Park, it
may not be considered impertinent in this place,
or foreign to our subject, . to say, that it
is 'perhaps • the best laid out and richest
scope of imperial pleasure grounds in Europe:
Let it ba viewed from the Castle, Cottage,
Sandpit Gate, or any other elevation in the
neighhourhood, and what does it exhibit in its
wide spread that is not richly formed to please
the inquiring eye, delight the fancy, and swell
into agitated exstacy the finest imagination ?
If we desire to behold water on a large and ab.
stracted scale, either in natural or artificial forinS,i
we have only to turn our eyes on Virginia, haply
inimitable Virginia; and next to the swellirg
billows of the majestic Thames, 'which is solemnly
imposing in this place—arid surely Our longings.
and ideas, however delicate and romantic-they
may be on these matters, will instantly be grati-
fied beyond our fondest anticipation. On ths
other hand, if wood seenery,.. with its neeessarY
appurtenances of hills,- vales, lawns, and the
hundred Other picturesque charms that are re-
quired to fall into prospect in forming a consum-
mate lauslscape, 'and that on an, extensive scale •
too, be the objects of our fancy and admiration,
he must be vain indeed who extends his research
after more exalted imagery than Windsor Park
exhibits to the view.
The walks and.carriage drives, both of turf
and gravel, in this Park, are allowed by all whL,
have seen them tor be of a first-rate_ descriptioo
in point of extent and design, and partieuladV
the great avenue leading from the Castle to the
Royal Lodge, a distance of three miles. Vir-
ginia Water has been greatly improved and
beautified within the , last few years, at his Maa
jesty's expense and express desire. It is about
'four miles from the Castle, and a mile and a half
from the • Royal'Lodge. AS very few pens:ow/
are admitted here, except the different member:4
of the .Royal FaMily and a select number et
favourites, it is not to be
.wondered that this de-
' lightful retreat is so little known to. the public.
Virginia Water, as it is- denominated, is iA
considerable valley, flanked on both sides by a
lofty ridge of hills, which appear in many places
ready to tumble 'from. their bases, and entomb
themselves in the bosom of the distant and noise-
less waters which glide beneath. The sides and
summits of these mountains are planted in the
most beautiful manner imaginable with every
description of trees that are marked for excel-
lence, majesty, and . grandeur. The shrubs in
like manner which -ornament this place, .and
which are made to wander in detached groups of
paintings along the brows of the bills—the bin',
ders of the green rides, the banks of the lakes,
the sides of the mazes, labyrinths, bowers, &c.
are all of the most fragrant and costly de-
scription, and so admirably arranged as always
to yield the most. abundant variety, without the
least tissue of sameness in either quality, foliage,
or odour. The green walks and rides here arc
numerous beyond conception, and, in truth, one
of the greatest ornaments it possesses. They
are always kept mowed and rolled, so a§
to render them what they really are-4n7
imitable in their kind, and worthy the pride
and patronage of a King. The water
is disposed into 'a thousand shapes and
courses, each of which strikes the • busy' mind
with successive sensations, until at length it is
almost incapacitated from discerning their crowd
lug charms, even in the aggregate. His Ma-
jesty has a beautiful Temple, or Chateau, in the
bosom of these exquisite scenes; ar.d although
we must say the situation thereof is most happily
chosen, and commands a most noble prospect,
yet it is to be doubted much if it is equal to the
truly elegant spot on which the Keeper's Gothic
Villa stands. No words or ornaments of language
can give anything like an adequate picture of
this individual spot—it mist be seen to be ap-
preciated ; and if fairly appreciated, it cannot
surely fail in gaining the first place in our.estima-
tion of Virginian charms. Viewing this p lace
from any opposite or collateral point of the scene,
or any point of the scene from this place, it re-
vives in our recollection the idea one forms of
the Elysium Fenelon opens to Telemachus,
when he sends him in quest of a beloved and
lost sire in the shades of immortality' a
word, to those who have not seen the indescribable
views which a refulgent setting sun now, renders
doubly. grand in our eyes, wen beg leave to say
no pen can write, nor pencil draw, the sublime
and varied scenery of Virginia Water and its
correlative charms. - The only place that can be
considered as possessing an equal-assemblage of
august, varied, original, and sublime prospects,
or that bears any approximate likeness to it in
extent and design, are the Lakes of Killarney ;
but even they, in our opinion, with all their
naturally gifted and truly imposing beauties and
wonders, are not so calculated to felicitate the
senses, and stir the soul to admiration, as the
happy scenes of Virginia.

PROFANATION.—We are informed, on un-
doubted authority, that on Sunday last, a parishioner took
to a certain parish church, in the district of Craven, a pint
of ale and two bottles 'of gin, all of which was drank dur-
ing the morning service.—Leeds Intdligeneer.
. EXTRAORDINARY TROUT.—A fish of this
description was taken, a short time ago, in a leap (or trap
-to take fish in) at the flood gates of a mill called the
Forge-mill, near Coleshill, Warwickshire, cn the banks of
the river 'fame. It measured three feet seven inches and
a half long, and weighed twenty-two pounds. It ap-
peared in bad condition, and to have been a n.uch heavier
fish:: ' On the extreme point of the low'T jaw there was a
large Mary projection about an inch and a half long,
(exactly resembling the hook of a lady's parasol), whicit
shut into an aperture formed in the upper jaw to receive
it; but, when closed by the hand ac far as possible, there
was a curve in the upper jsw *tickeaused a cavity in the
mouth of the fish sufficiently wide to_ , admit a good sized
gudgeon to pass through it. This, perhaps, may account
for the sunken appearance of the fish,: as it must hare 101-

FRENCH PAPERS.
(Ft-,om the Journal dic Commerce of Friday.)

• PARIS, MAY 2L--The Minister of Commerce has
'presented to the Chamber of Deputies the project of
law on the Duties of Customs. We will not ven-
ture to give an opinion on this document upon a first
reading. We intend carefully to study it both in
the whole and in in several parts; we shall have
plenty of time for examination and reflection, for it
is not at all probable that the project of law can be
gliscussed in the part of the Session which remains
before the prorogation of the Chambers.
Our readers will find in that passage of the de-
velopment of the motives on which the prnject is
founded, which treats of the bounties on the ex-
portation of refined sugars, an explanation of the
contradictory reports which have been in circulation
among the merchants, and which we have mention-
rd. The Minister appears to have hesitated a long
time between the various proposals that were made,
aad has at length resolved on adoptingnone of them,
bnt to leave things in d tatu quo.
The Committee appointed to examine the Project
'of Law, relative to the eventual credit of fifty-two
Millions, heard to-day the statement of the Minister
of War. After a pretty long conference, it is said
to have been recognised; first, that part of the sum
was already spent; td, that the occupation of the
Mores, and the relief afforded to the Ctreeks, could
not yet cease, any more than the hictkade of Algiers ;
3d and lastly, that the Minister having, on the faith
of the eventual credit of 80,000,000, voted last year,
augmented the force of the army by 51,000 men,
without any provision having been made for this ex
change by the ordinary votes of credit, it was im-
possible entirely td reject the project of the Govern-
ment. Nev'artheless it is affirmed that the Com-
mittee ',fill propose to reduce the vote of credit
wh'.eh is asked for by 10 or 12,000,000.
The Queen of Spain died on the 17th of this
month. This news was transmitted yesterday from
sayonne, by the telegraph. (The Message). des
Chambreg says that a courier who was to bring this
melancholy news to Dresden passed through Bayonne
on the 20th.) This Princess, who was of the
house of Saxony, was the third wife of Ferdinand
VII. She was born on the 6th December, 1803,
and married on the 20th October, 1819, being then
not quite sixteen years of age. The King her hus-
band was then thirty-five years of age.
