THE Death of Mr. ROBERT MUDIE has left
a Widow and Five young Children in a state of utter
destitution. Without friends, without a home, and bereft of
all but hope, they venture most respectfully to appeal to the
benevolence of the public,. and to the generous sympathies of
those to whom the deceased may have been once known, or who
have been instructed or amused by his works.
Mr. Mudie was a native of Forfarshire, in Scotland. He
was in the strictest sense self-educated, and won his way to
knowledge and considerable renown by the energy of his
talents. For upwards of thirty years he devoted himself to
literary and scientific pursuits; first as a teacher of youth, and
afterwards in a great number and variety of works ; the most
generally popular and successful of which have been his volumes
°ll " Natural History" and the " Seasons."
, The Pecuniary reward, however, which Mr. Mudie derived
'ram his Writings barely sufficed to meet the immediate
charges of housekeeping in the Metropolis; and when at last
his constitution broke down, under the pressure of unintermitting
sedentary labour and its anxieties, he dirt! literally penniless.
His Meted Family, the sharers of this bitter lot, have no re-
source but in the present reluctant appeal.

Ration of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
Most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with 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—resist. ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-

`C. "Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Cold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
kre have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is daliy
•suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progress of it's New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.
