STOVES.--These excellent, useful, and convenient
Stoves no house should be without, bring so particularly adapted
for all purposes of airing, drying, and heating, and being
portable, can be used in any part of the house as required
without dirt, dust, or danger from fire, and will burn from
twelve to eighteen hours, without any trouble beyond the first
lighting, which may be done in the kitchen or yard. For
stables, coach-houses, harness-rooms, hot and green-houses,

for offices, shops, warehouses, &c., for the purpose of burning
coke, at the trifling cost of threepence per day.

AUTION.—The extraordinary demand for
kJ PARR'S LIFE PILLS has induced several shopkeep-
ers, of mean and dishonest principles, to try to impose en the
incautious various counterfeits composed of the most per-
nicious ingredients, merely for the sake of reaping an extra
profit, totally regardless of the dreadful consequences which
must ensue.
Observe, that each Box of the genuine medicine has pasted
round it the Government Stamp, in which is engraved these
words, PARR'S LIFE PILLS, in white letters on a red
ground. None other can be genuine.
In no instance has this invaluable medicino failed to effect a
perfect cure where due patience and perseverance has been ex-
ercised. Read the following
" To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.
Gentlemen,— Since I undertook the agency of this popular
Medicine I can with truth aver, that it has, to my own know-
ledge, been a very great blessing to scores of persons in this
town and neighbourhood. Indeed, so numerous are the testi-
monials to the virtues of Parr's Pills in the cure of inveterate
disease, that many persons who had been quite hopeless of any
relief, have obtained a permanent and perfect cure. To parti-
cularise would be useless, the eases are so numerous. One
person was cured of a bad leg of 15 years' duration ; another
of Rheumatism of ten years' standing ; others of Asthma, &e.
&e. These are among the cures • and numerous are the cases
of relief in Bilious and Liver Complaints, Sick Headache,
Coughs, Colds, and Diseases of the Stomach ankDigestive Or•
gans, &c.
" From these facts, snore than from any mode of advertising,
the sale of the Pills is daily increasing ; every person who has
been benefited is anxious to recommend them, and assist his
neighbour.—Enclosed is 501., which please send me in Pills by
the next coach.

" I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,

MEETING OF SURREY MAGIS-
TRATES.

Tuesday there was a full attendance of the Surrey
Magistrates at the Sessions-house, Newington, and
amongst those present were Mr. Puckle (Chairman),
Earl Lovelace, Mr. Kemble, M.P., Mr. Trotter, M.P.,
Mr. Hawes, M.P., Alderman Humphery, M.P., Col.
Cha!loner, Sir 'l'. M. Reed, Captain Page, &c. The
business brought before the Court was of an important
character, and prior to its being gone into the Grand
Jury were called and sworn.
The CHAIRMAN, in the course of his charge to the
Grand Jury, observed that there was nothing parti-
cular in the calendar that demanded any observation
from him, except the case of an assault and riot com-
mitted by thirteen persons on some officers in the exe-
cution of their duty. He was sorry that he could not
congratulate them upon the diminution of crime in this
county ; he had been at some pains to compare the
years 1830 and 1831 with 1840 and 1841, and making
every allowance for the increase of population, he
found there had been a considerable increase of crimi-
nals during the last two years. This fact would be a
disappointment to those benevolent individuals who had
exerted themselves to improve the lower orders by edu
eating them. He entertained an opinion, and it was a
strong one, that the children in many of our charity
schools and union workhouses were too highly educated.
He had seen them taught the use of the globes, geometry,
geography, and other branches of learning, which could be
of little or no service to them in after life, and in place of
which be considered it would be much more beneficial if
ahoy werataught their moral and.religious duties. He was
happy to say that our prisoners bad been considerably
improved. He knew that there were men who enter-
tained the opinion that persons who had been frequently
imprisoned were irreclaimable ; he knew, however, bet.
te-. By the Magistrates of Surrey an asylum had been
established into which offenders were received at the
recommendation of a chaplain of the prison, and they
were taught trades, and furnished with the means of
obtaining an honest livelihood. He was glad to say
that many who had been thus treated were become
good and useful members of society, and he hoped the
institution would have the patronage of all who could
contribute towards its support. Perhaps in a short
time the subject would meet with the attention of Go-
vernment, and in the meantime it was the duty of the
Magistrates to do all that they could to check crime in
their own county. He had heard that the plan had
been followed up in other counties. He heartily wished
it might be supported, and attended with success.
The Grand Jury then retired, and the county busi-
ness proceeded.
