EAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT
ILI RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &c.
Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon,
of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last,
to the Editor of the Times :"
Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured My angle severely. From the great tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con-
tinued very much swollen and adematous, and I suffered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the wide to the leg, thigh, back, and to the
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one simie. The next
morning I came down stairs without my crutchesand was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to Mt. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing; as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.
" I am, your obedient servant,
" TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.
" Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.

" P. S. At the various consultations held upon my case, the
Surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter.
minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not
had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application
of this extraordinary embrocation.-T. H."
This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious
n any of the above afflictions) may be obtained of, or through
any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or
Country, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street, Strand ;
Or from the Proprietor, Mr. Feaver, 16, Ludgate-hill, London.

On Saturday the Marylebone Vestry assembled at
the Court House, Marylebone-lane, for the purpose
of making choice of one out of three designs, selected
by the Committee for erection in the Regent-circus,
to the memory of the Scotch Reformers of 1793-4
viz., Muir, Palmer, Skirving, Gerald, and Margarot.
Mr. E. Joseph having been appointed to the chair, the
three design.; selected by the Committee were brought
and laid before the vestry. Mr. Wilson said, before
any of these designs were accepted by the vestry, he
begged to state, as a member of the Committee, that
he was much disappointed at the course which had
been pursued in preventing competition, upon which
subject he begged to present to the vestry a memorial
which had been entrusted to him for that purpose. The
vestry-clerk having read the memorial,which was signed
by the whole of the artists who had sent in designs to
the Committee, with the exception of the successful one,
a discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. Hume,
M.P., said he had never intimated to the vestry that
the erection of the monument would be open to coin-
petition.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") What he said was,
that until the site ibr the monument was decided on,
it would be useless for the Committee to have the
designs before them, and that when the site was de-
cided on, he (Mr. Hume) would submit three for the
choice of the vestry. The Committee had the designs
of nine different artists laid before them, but none of
them were suitable, the spot selected in the Regent's-
circus not being adequate to afford for the base a space
of more than seven feet for a monument of not less
than from thirty to forty feet high. It was also
deemed advisable to have the monument as plain as'
possible, in order to protect it from wilful or acci-
dental injury from the public. The design No. 1
was such an one as that required. It was a square
column, such as were to be seen in Rome, but he (Mr.
Hume) believed there was no other of the description
in England. The base was intended to be made of
granite, and the rest of Portland stone. He begged
to assure the vestry that it had gone forth by
some mistake that there should be competition. Mr.
Gomm said upon the very face of the resolution it would
appear that there was no mistake, and that the erec-
tion of the column was to be subjected to fair, free,
an.l open competition. It was as follows :—" That
the Scotch and English monumental Committee, as-
sisted by Messrs. Hume, Rennie, and Donaldson,
select three most appropriate designs for choice of the
Vestry." Now, he did not see upon the face of that
resolution how it could be a mistake to suppose there
would be competition. The motion for the admission
of the memorialists was put, and lost by a large majo-
rity. Mr. Glasier then moved that design No. 1 (a
plain square pillar, the scale being about 40 feet in
height, with a cap of a Roman pilaster, surmounted by
an urn), be adopted by the vestry:• Mr. Herbert
seconded the motion ; on which Mr. J. Wilson moved
and Mr. Worledge seconded. an amendment, to the
effect that the design of one of the memorialists (Mr.
Turring) be brought in and examined. After some
discussion, the amendment was put and negatived, and
design No. 1 adopted by the Vestry, with seven or
eight dissentients; and the Committee appointed to
assist Mr. Hume in superintending the erection. The
vestry then separated.

NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Dt.nt.'s, DEC. 17.—The usual half-yearly exami-
nation of the masters in training at the National
Board of Education, was held on Thursday last. In-
cluding the schoolmistresses, there were about ninety
teachers assembled. The Lord Lieutenant having
signified his intention of being present at this interest-
ing exhibition, arrived about two o'clock, accompanied
by the Countess de Grey. Their Excellencies first
inspected the model schools, which were attended by
several hundreds of children. After hearing some of
the children examined in different branches of in-
struction, they proceeded to the Lecture-room, where
the teachers had been previously assembled. The
platform was crowded with visitors of various religious
denominations amongst whom we recognised several
clergymen of the Established Church and the Presby-
terian body. The teachers were examined in the
usual branches by the professors, and by Mr. Skilling,
the superintendent of the model farm in connection
with the Board. Their Excellencies appeared to take
a deep interest in the proceedings, and frequently
selected the teachers and subjects for examination.
Mr. Blake presented each of the teachers of his
communion with a copy of the Douay Testament, and
of Bossuet's Exposition.
The Rev. Doctor HENRY then addressed the Pres-
byterian teachers, in the course of his speech he re-
marked : I beg it distinctly to be understood that the
numerous and influential body with which. I have the
honour to be connected, are now fully aware by expe-
riment—the best of all tests—that receiving aid for
their Schools through our National. Board, does not,
in the slightest degree, infringe on that inherent ve-
neration which our Church has ever felt for Scrip-
ture education. In common with the Church of
Scotland, they hold is to be your right, and that of
your pupils, to read their Bible freely ; and, whilst
they do not regard themselves to be justified in with-
holding secular education from those who demur to
this view, they are satisfied that, in receiving aid from
us on this ground of non-compulsion—a ground which,
at all times, they advocated—they are left in the full
and unshackled possession of their invaluable scrip-
tural privileges. Spread as far as possible around you
the social comforts of order, peaceableness and regu-
larity—making it apparent that religion is practical
influential in every department in life. Where you
can apply that knowledge of agriculture which you
have acquired here, I would beg you to avail your-
selves of every proper opportunity of doing so. You
may assist materially in ;drawing out the still latent
resources of this great country.
His Grace the Archbishop of DUBLIN having re-
turned during the delivery of the. Rev. Dr. Henry's
speech, then addressed the teachers. He expressed
his cordial approbation of what the Rev. Dr. Henry
had said respecting the sacred volume ; but he felt it
his duty to remind those whom he was 'now address-
ing, that God's best gifts may be made an ill use of.
It was, no doubt, a precious privilege to have the
Bible, and the power of reading it ; but was it not
melancholy to reflect that by some it was so shame-
fully abused. There are men who talk of it, who
have it perpetually om their lips ;- who glory in it,
and yet display a character quite opposite to the
spirit of charity and forbearance which it inculcates.
Lamenting that this most unchristian spirit should be
so prevalent in the present day, when scriptural edu-
cation is so eagerly defended, he would exhort the
instructors of youth before him to have the Bible, not
merely in their hands or mouths, but in their hearts.
The Commissioners of Education, said his Grace
most emphatically, do not teach more than
'they practise; for many years they have
been defamed and reviled ; they have been
falsely accused of denying to those willing to
receive them those very Scriptures which all present
have now in their hands ; but they have endured all
with firmness, patience, and gentleness, not " weary-
ing in well doing," but confident that, " in due
season, they shall reap their reward." I have been, in
particular, as you are no doubt aware, said his Grace,
assailed in the most furious manner. I have been
singled out as an object for every calumny and ob-
loquy, yet I have never been intimidated, and never
provoked; and by the blessing of God, I never will.
In a small sphere, and in a less degree, the teachers
connected with this establishment' may expect to be
attacked in a similar manner. It is for them to re-
ply by conduct, not words—not talking or bantering
of the Scriptures, but seeking in, them for lessons of
peaceableness and perseverance—of firm and gentle
patience—and showing the fruit of their study in the
life they lead and the instruction given,
Alexander Macdonnell, Esq., resident Commissioner
gave each of the teachers two valuable books on
science and agriculture.
Shortly after their Excellencies and the audience
retired, evidently very much pleased with the impor-
tant proceedings of the day.
Dr. Daly is to be the new Bishop of Cashel and
Waterford. It is stated that Dr. Maude, Dean of
Clogher, is to get the Deanery of St. Patrick, and
that the Rev. Mr. Balfour, nephew of Lady De Grey,
is to be Dean of Clogher. There is also a rumour
that Archdeacon Packenham, brother-in-law of the
Duke of Wellington, is to be Dean of St. Patrick's.

BOARD OF GUARDIANS, GREENWICH, Q

LiATIIRDAY.
Guardians, the
ChairmanAta
meeting
(Mr.B.
o f
Carter)the
of allowing roast beef, plum-pudding, and strong beer,
to the inmates of the union on Christmas-day, He
thought there could be no objection on the part of the
Board to the usual allowance being given. Air. James
(the clerk) said that the new rules of the Poor-law
Commissioners were so stringent as regarded the
dietary of the paupers, which was only to be altered
by the medical officer, that he did not consider the
Board would be justified in making the order. Mr.
Moze said there would be a great deal of dissatisfaction
amongst the parishioners if those in the house were
debarred from that small enjoyment. Mr.Warman, the
relieving officer, said that the out-door poor, who had
only a shilling or eighteenpence per week allowed, and
never had a mouthful of meat from one month's end
to another, were more deserving objects of a little
extra allowance. The Chairman said that no doubt
some hundred, pounds would be subscribed for that
purpose, and he,for one was ready to become a con-
tributor. As to ihe,,rules, they only prescribed the
dietary for Sundays an4lW.
eek days, but not a word
was said about " Christmas-4Y;, so they must exer-
cise what they had very little ofr-r,-," a discretionary
power."—(Laughter.) If they happened to do a
little wrong they would, at the same 'tiinA, do a
great deal of good ; so the best way was to let he
poor enjoy themselves, and the Board must make
friends with the Commissioners afterwards. He did
not anticipate that would be a task of any great diffi-
culty. The resolution to grant the allowance was
unanimously agreed to.

COAST..
The Cork Reporter contaias :the following :
" The weather, since Friday.lait, has undergone a
complete change. From being,..4 a mild vegetative
character, gales of unusual severity have prevailed,
the wind being generally at S.E., accompanied with
torrents of rain. Last night, from five to half-past
eleven, r.af., the gale was tremendous, freshening at
intervals into a hurricane. At twelve o'clock the
storm subsided, but the rain continued all night and
to-day up to two o'clock, when there did not seem
any appearance of a change. • •
At Cove the surf rolled furiously over
.the quays;
the Queen, river steamer, had to land her Cove pas-
sengers last evening, at Carrigaloe; and in proceed-
ing to Aghada, preferred running through the Islands
to making her way through the Bay, in the fear
of being forced upon the quay by the strength
of the wind. She landed all her passengers safely ;
and reports to-day that the shipping lying in the har-
bour and along the river were in perfect safety, the
necessary precautions having been taken to secure
them firmly at their moorings. •

LIGHT GOLD.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sift,—Allow me to address a remark or two re-
specting the light gold which keeps remaining in cir-
culation. I consider it shamefully wrong that the
public should be compelled to sacrifice their money
in this way. I believe most persons turning over
5001. a week, lose, on an average, 15s. to 20s. a
week by light gold. A gentleman told me yesterday
he had lost 101. by being unable to pay them for 20s.
each, during the last few weeks. I have lost 81. or
more. I have paid some away, but cannot get rid of
a quarter the number I receive (for their full value),
and it is the case generally. They are mostly bear-
ing date eighteen to twenty years back, and any one
may naturally suppose they are reduced in weight by
common usage. They ought to be called in; it is
nothing less than robbery. Parties paying them tell
you they will allow nothing, and it is almost impos-
sible to get anything allowed with them. When a
person has payments to make in the neighbourhood
he may stand a chance of getting some off; but any-
thing
pay here is a mere fraction compared to other
towns. I do hope you will give publicity to the
matter, and remain, Sir, yours; &c.,

• Per quarter...
The present freights, which are ruinous to the ship-
ping interest, are somewhat lower than the above.
Thus, as above stated, 45., 55., and 6s. a quarter
duty, with 10s. added for charges on importation, af-
ford respectively, 381 per cent., 42:;-: per cent., and 47
per cent. of protection to the British agriculturist.
And even the simple charges (10s.) a quarter, with-
out any duty, on bringing wheat to this country, af-
ford a protection of 25 per cent., not to mention the
expenses previously incurred on foreign wheat, of
bringing it, in many cases several hundred miles, from
the place of growth to the sea-port for shipment,
forming, in addition to the above-named 25 per cent.,
a further protection of fully 10 per cent.
Few unprejudiced minds will be disposed to regard
the above scale of protection, whether with the rates
of duty named, or even without duty, as insufficient
to enable the agriculturist of this country, with Bri-
tish skill and perseverance, to compete with any foreign
country. It would, indeed, be a libel to say he were
not. In truth, with an equitable rent, he has nothing
to fear—even from a repeal of the Corn-laws.
Neither can I hesitate to believe that, with the love
of equity and fair dealing which have ever marked
the character of the nobility of this country—which
haracterise, as a body, the Government and the Mem-
bers of the Legislature—that when the above facts,
mathematically demonstrated, are placed before them,
they will at once avow the ample sufficiency of the
protection afforded to the agricultural interest by a
duty of 45., 55., or 6s. per quarter.
Under the existing circumstances of the country,
prudence world seem to suggest to the agricultural
interest that, as a matter of policy, they should endea-
vour, by all the means in their power, to secure in the
ensuing session of Parliament a fixed protection to the
extent above stated—since this would in all likelihood
settle the question ; while, on the other hand, longer
to defer it is to lead to the insistance of total repeal.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
E. WARD JACKSON.

L AMBETII WATER COMPANIES.—On Friday evening
a meeting of the Licensed Victuallers of the southern

districts a the Thames was held 'at the Bridge-
House Hotel, to adopt measures to resist the mono-
poly of the Lambeth, Southwark, and Vauxhall
Water Companies, and to secure a supply of
pure and wholesome water on the most reason-
able terms. Mr. Vousley, jun., having been called
to the chair, explained the objects of the meet-
ing. It appeared from his statement that the
districts supplied by 'these Companies were, in addi-
tion to the unwholesome quality of the Thames water,
subjected to the caprice of the Companies, who
recently raised their rates in many instances
from 100 to 200 per cent. One gentleman,
who was supplied by the Southwark Com-
pany, had his rate raised from 101. to 201. 10s. a
year. He himself had eighteen small tenements,
which were raised from Bs. to lls. a year each tene-
ment. The London Tavern paid to the New Water
Company only 101., while the building in which they
were assembled was charged 361. 10s. a year. Messrs.
Proctor, Hancock, Gibson, and others, moved a series
of resolutions condemnatory of the alleged exactions
of the three Companies, and in approbation of the River
Wandle Company, and a Committee was appointed to
co-operate with the latter in their speculation for
supplying water to the districts south of the Thames.
SPLENDID PRESENT TO THE QUEEN.---On Tuesday
a hundred deer were caught in Garendon Park, the
seat of C. M. Phillips, Esq., for the purpose of stock-
ing one of her Majesty's parks with the breed (which
is considered a fine one). The fine park was ani-
mated by the presence of hundreds of visitors, of all
giades, to assist in or witness the taking of the deer,
and for those who love the chase, or a rural ramble,
much enjoyment was afforded. A large pound, nearly
a quarter of a mile in circumference, had been en-
closed with high nets on the west side of the park,
not a great distance from the foot of the hill on which
the circular building, generally styled " the temple,"
is erected, and the deer being driven by horsemen
into the enclosure, were frightened by the shouts of
the by-standers, and plunged with tremendous force,
head foremost at the nets, by which they generally
became entangled by either the legs or neck, and
were instantly secured. The fawns, and a few fa-
vourite bucks, were turned at liberty when caught,
and much amusement was created by their running
through the crowd, and snaking the best of their
way to join their companions yet at liberty in the
further parts of the park. The horns-of the bucks
were cut off as soon as they were brought out of the
pound, in order to prevent them from injuring each
other, and all the deer caught were carried to the
in .
Hall stables a waggon and a van ; the latter con-
structed for such purposes; and brought from Lon-
don, by Mr. Herring, who is employed by her Ma-

which, although it was not attended with injury to
