CEMENT-MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE

INVENTION.
TO ARCHITECTS, Engineers, Contractors,
Builders, Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade, and also
to Shippers. THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT,
surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol-
lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable
adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces
(even to gl !ss). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp.
The more it is exposed to the atmosphere., the harder and more
durable it becomes. It is perfectly free from any of the caustic
qualities of lime, and it, may therefore be painted upon as soon
as dry, as-it is impossible tkat it can vegetate or change colour,
nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or
peel oft To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a mo-t
important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of
time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; with regird
to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting
qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing
capital in building speculations.
The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5,
Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sole agents, at
whose warehouses any
,quantity may be had, specimens may be
seen, and every ieformation afforded.

137nkers, Merchants, and the inhabitants of London and
is vicinity, are respectfully informed that L. HYAM,
TAILOR, Wholesale Woollen Draper and Outfitter, has
OPENED those splendid and spacious PREMISES denomi-
nated the PANTECRNETEIECA, next door to Messrs.
Christy's, the celebrated hat manufacturers, No. 36, Grace-
church-street, London, as a fashionable tailoring, woollen dra-
pery, and general outfitting establishment. In all new under-
takings it is necessary to enter into an explanation of the system
on which the business is to be conducted. Hit intention is to
establish one of the largest, 'cheapest, and best conducted con-
cerns ever established in or out of the me'ropolis, having a
thorough knowledge of business, unlimited capital, besides
having several first. rate establishments in most of the principal
towns in the kingdom. The Proprietor is enabled in conse-
quence of hi; large consumption to buy goods &tin the best
manufacturers considerably underprice, and as his system is
to sell as cheap as he buys, charging a uniform per centage,
these who honour that establishment with their Patronage will
find his stock the cheapest and best selected in Landon. An
irspection of the annexed list of prices will convince the most
sceptic and cautious that he can nowhere else meet with equal
advantages. The Proprietor challenges the West-end to excel
hire in any of the requisites of gentlemanly dress, and his
charge for a whole suit does, not amount to that demanded for
a single garment, even by most of the houses who boast of the
economy of their arrangements. Trial is the test—let it be
made, and conviction must follow :

POLICE IN TEL LIGENCE.
.1/. XS/o=l/0 I'SE.
Inspector Maclean, of the City Police fcrce, came to the
Mansion house yesterday, while the Lord Mayor was engaged
at St. Psul's Cathedral, and told Mr. nobler, the Clerk to his
Lordship, that he considered it to be his duty to communicate
what he knew of the former conduct of the person who was
charged with having attempted to assassinate her Majesty. It
o.:eurred to him that he had taken John Francis into custody
upon a charge of robbery about a year ago, the moment he saw
the name and description of the accused, and he had since as-•
esrtained beyond a doubt that his suspicions were well founded.
Upon reference to the charge-book kept at the station, held in
1841, in Watling-street, he found the following entry.
" Wednesday, July 14, 1841.
" John Francis, of No. 14, To tenham-court-road, was
brought in by Inspector Maclean, charged by Charles Mend-
ham, 80, Cannon-street, on suspicion of stealing a silk purse,
thirty-two sovereigns, and four shillings, from a box in his
bed, oom.
" Property found on the prisoner—A purse, 7s. 6d., two
seals, and ring in a case, nine shirt studs, a knife, snuff-box, and i
memorandum book.
" Description-18 years of age, five feet four high, dark eyes,
hair, and complexion.
" Sent to the Compter,
" To find hail, by order of the Lord Mayor."
Mr. Hobler immediately referred to the book in which he
entered the charges brought before the Lord Mayor, in the
year 1841, and found, under the date of Thursday the 15th of
July, of that. year, the following note of examination
:
"John Francis (aged 19), in custody of Charles 31aclean, In-
spector."
" Charles Mendham—l lodge at Mr. Bailey's, No. tii, Cannon-
, street. I have known the prisoner six weeks or two months.
Prisoner has called at my lodging. I had thirty-two sovereigns
in a portmanteau. On Monday morning it was safe, at eleven
o'clock. In the evening he was at my lodging, though he had
appointed to meet me at the West-end of the town.
" Harriet Hill, barmaid, at No. 85, Cannon. street, said, the
prisoner came in at half-past six o'clock on Monday. He asked
for Mr. Medlam. I said, do you mean Mr. Mendham. I
went down stairs. Mr. Mendham lodged in the second floor,
front room.
Charles Mendham—l had appointed to meet him at four, at
the Cambrian, Leicester-square.
" Catherine Sullivan (a servant in the house)-_I saw the pri.
soner on Monday last, but cannot say the time. I met him in
the passage, and he went up stairs.
"Maclean (Inspector)-1 took the prisoner in Great Newport-
stre,t, and he said he had been six weeks out of work. He had
in his pocket seven shillings, and he told me he ha I paid seven-
teen shillings at the Bagatelle place, and that he had bought a
a ring. The lock Was forced off the portmanteau.
" Remanded till Saturday."
The following memorandum appeared in Mr. Holder's note-
book the Saturday following :

" Saturday, 17th July, 1841.
" John Francis. (19) remanded from the 15th.
" Maclean (Inspector)-1 have no fresh evidence.
" Primmer discharged."
Inspector M•Lean said, that as he thought it very probable
that Miss Hill, the bar-maid at No. 85, Cannon street, which
*as a respectable coffee-house, knew the person of the young
man who was charged with having committed the robbery, he
accompanied her, on Wednesday evening, to Newgate, and, in
' the presence of Sheriff Magnay, she immediately recognised
the prisoner, John Francis, as the party who had been accused
by Mr. Mendham. The Inspector said that he also identified
the young man ; and added that, to the best of his recollection,
the suspicion that John Francis had committed the robbery was
eery strung, in consequence of the fact, that at the time the
Meeting was to have taken place between the prisoner and Mr.
Yendham, the former was at the lodging of the latter, and bad
gone up stairs to the bed-room, as was supposed, to wash his
hands. He (Inspector M'Lean) remembered, too, that he
went to the house or lodging of the prisoner's mother, at No.
14, Tottenham-court-read, and searched his boxes, but found
nothing calculated to aid in the inquiry. The prisoner appeared
at this time to be in very ind fferent circumstances, and
looked much worse than he appeared to he at present.
Mr. nobler desired the Inspector to wait upon the Lord
Mayor, and communicate to his Lordship everything he could
collect upon the subject of the former conduct and character of
the prisoner. Ile (Mr. Hobler) had some recollection of the
charge of robbery against John Francis, which could not be
sustained by such evidence as would have justified the Lord '
Mayor in committing the prisoner to IS'evrgate but be believed
there was strong suspicion that the accused' committed the
robbery.
Inspector Maclean said that he was to see Mr. Mendham that
evening, and that on Friday he should communicate to his
Lordship everything he could ascertain relative to the prisoner,
who, no doubt, was the John Francis now in Newgato for shoot-
iug at the Queen.

WORSHIP-STREE7'.
CURIOUS .CASE.—A MAN CHARGED WITH STEALING HIS
OWN HORSE.— Thomas King, a coach-buider, living at Bo-
wdon, was finally examined before Mr. Bingham, upon a
charge of having stolen a b'ack pony, zlleged to be the prc-
perty of Mr. Thomas Feathers, a master tailor, in Bunhill-row.
On the in-re:T.-tint day 'the prisoner Was surnmcned before
Mr. Bingham, to answer a c':utrge of unlawfully obtaining the
pony, ashen it appeared in evidence that on the 2d April last
the prisoner ag plied to the prosecutor for the loan of 51., and
agreed to deliver his pony to the latter as a security fur the
repa% merit of the money. A document was accordingly pre-
pare-d, and signed by the prisoner, by which the prosecutor
swag authorised to keep possession of the pony for five weeks,
and to sAI it at the expiration of that time if the loan and ex-
penses, amounting together to 6/. 55., should remain unpaid.
l'pon reciving the pony, the prosecutor placed it at a livers sta-
ble in Bunhill-row, where it remained until the 23d ult.,
when it was discovered that it had been secretly removed from
the stable duriror the night. Having reason to suspect that
the pr toner had repossessed himst If of the pony, clthough he
had fattest to repay the borrowed money, the prosecutor pro.
seeded to his residence, with. Serjeant Brennan and Redmond
of the G division ; and on being questioned respecting it, the
prisoner admitted that he had the pony, and added, that there
could be no theft, it being his own property, and he was re-
solved to keep it. The prosecutor abstained from giving him
into custody, and took out a summons against him; but the
Magistrate, on hearing the evidence, considered it sufficiently
strong to support the charge of felony, and the prisoner was
accordingly placed at the bar, and after an examination was
remanded upon bail until this day:
Inspector Shackell now stated that, after the conclusion of
yesterday's proceedings the prosecutor's brother, accompanied
by Sergeant Brennan and a policeman, repaired to the pri-
soner's stables, where they found the pony, which they brought
away ; but as they were returning home, they were stopped by
the prisoner, who gave them into custody. On reaching the
station. house, the prisoner insisted upon charging them with
breaking into his premises, and stealing the horse, and they
were now present to answer the charge.
Robert Feathers, Serjeant Brennan, and Policeman Smith,
were then ranged in front of the bar, and the prisoner King
entered the witness-box.

LADVERTISEMENT.
-IMPORT INT TO ALL
,THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE-
RIvE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppo's
Soda Water is so universally known ar.d appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any eneonium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to I.tiblic patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured ors the largest.
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the Outline article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
Which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public
Thw deception referred to' is that of passint, off a spurious
article for " Schweppo's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
ctrl ain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legiti L ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of Iheir firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London arid Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents arid
correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony
Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the
high condition in which it is generally found. The Water
ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express
reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other
can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppo's
Lemonade is' an elegant preparation of mare recent intro-
duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is
rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing
draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best mate-
rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men
constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de-
sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will
have a yellow lable on its side, with .the name and address of
the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the
German Seltzer Water, which they ,receive direct from the
springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public
in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates
executed on the shortest notice.

K.ng stated that he met the prisoners p ith his-horse in their
possession, and as they broke open his stable door, in order to
take it out, he charged them with hause-breaking, and horse-
stealing.
Air. BlNGnAat—ls it the same horse that you were re-
manded on a charge of stealing ? The prisoner answered in
the affirmative.

A considerable crowiir was collected a few days
since, in the Rue Beauregard, before a house from which
load cries froceeded. Suddenly the glass of a window was
dashed to pieces, the casement thrown open, and a man forced
out a woman whom he h.ld only by the hair of her head over
the sheet. A cry of horror burst from the persons below—
mat resses were placed on the place where the unfortunate
woman was to fall, but she, by a desperate effort, succeeded in
catching the window-sill, and at last, after creeping up, pushed
in the man, who struggled with her. The guard arrived
nearly at the same mGm,nt, and arrested the ruffian, who was
nducted to the guard-house, amidst the groans and hisses of
the crowd.

TIIE NIGHT TELEGRAPH IN FRANCP.—The Com-
mittee of Deputies on the bill for granting 30,000 ft ancs for ex-
periments on a night telegraph, has declared that that invented
by Dr. Guyot, which is by means of moveable lanterns, is the
only Lne um thy of being put to the proof, and recommends that
the trials be extended to a line of at least sixty leagues, and in
foggy o misty weather, as Well as-in the night.
A letter from Alexandria, 6th inst., states that M.
Blondel, the Belgian Consul-General, who was arrested on his
scientific tour in Abyssinia, by the chief of an Arab tribe, has
been released, through the influence of the Governor of Kor-
dofan, who is entire.y devoted to Mehemet Ali.
BRUSSELS, MAY 31.—The steeple of the church of
Veerle, in Belgium, was struck by lightning during the storm
of the 24th, and the tower totally destroyed, and doors and
wall much injured. The same storm ravaged 94 hectares sown
with wheat, rye, &c., in the communes of Eynthout and Vork;
the damage is above 40,000 francs.

The French Academy has just come to a decision
on an essay submitted to public competition, but which it had
adjourned in 1841. The subject was "to determine the in-
influence of Spanish works on French literature at the com-
mencement of the seventeenth century." As this was the first
time that modern literature was submitted to the Academy for
appreciation, considerable interest was excited. The prize was
awarded to M. Adolphe de Puibusque, of Paris. a member of
several learned societies, and formerly a Sub-Prefect. M.
Victor Hugo, as reporter of the special committee appointed for
the occasion, stated, in a brilliant extemporary address, the
reasons which had caused the prize to be awarded to the suc-
cessful candidate.

A Goon 111xAmei,E.—The following instance of
integrity is worthy of being recorded. Some years ago, it was
the misfortune of Mr. Alexander Smith, merchant, Meddle, to
become insolvent. Since then; his prudence and economy
have been crowned with success; and his object, the payment
of his debts, has been realised, every one of his creditors having
now been paid to the " uttermost farthing." May his ex-
ample be followed by all who have been similarly circum-
stanced!—Aberdeert Herald.
The WashinA,rton Independent gives the following
pithy description of Lord Ashburton, whose arrival in that city
set all the citizens agog to catch a sight of him :—" Lord
Ashburton seems about 60, white head, face a little florid,
stature above the common height, looks live), and vigorous for
age, a quick eye, stoops a little, wears a brown coat.— A great
rush to see him,"

Alr. BtNGHAm—Then I dismiss your complaint.
The prisoner was afterwards placed at the bar, and the
depositions against him were read over by Mr. Vine the chief
clerk.

A solicitor who attended for him cross-examined the pro-
secutor who admitted that before the expiration of the five
weeks the prisoner and another person called upon him with
the intention, he believed, of redeeming the horse, but that no
money was tendered.
The solicitor contended that the charge of felony must fall
to the ground, the prosecutor having merely a lien on the horse,
and the absolute ownership being retained by the prisoner.
The MAGISTRATE said that the prosecutor had a special
property in the horse as long as the money for which he kept it
as a security remained unpaid ; but as be inclined to the opinion
that the prisoner had acted rather from perversity of judg-
ment than a felonious design, he should allow him an oppor-
tunity of making an amicable settlement.
The parties retired into a private room, and after a long
conference. it was intimated to the Magistrate that a satisfac-
tory arrangement had been effected.
the prisoner was accordingly diFthargent.

AWNS/NGYON ;POLICE.
Mr. Alexande► Walker, a gentleman residing at No. 3,
Regent's-place, Regent-square, appearegi on warrant charging
him with having assaulted Thomas Robinson, the conductor of
Cloud's Hammersmith omnibus, No. 2,442, under the follow-
ilig circumstances:—The complainant deposed that on the
night of Tuesday, the 26th ult., while he was standing with
his omnibus at the Three Tuns pubic-house, opposite the
Palace-gates, Kensington, the !defendant, who had a lady with
him, came up and asked if he had room to town. He asked
him what part, when he said " Piccadilly," but at the same
moment two or three persons, desirous of going, to the Bank,
came up : he told the defendant the fare would be a shilling
each. The defendant, however, immediately said he knew
that the fare wag, and he should pay the proper fare when ho
got out, and at the same moment he got upon the step to get in,
calliw his wife to follow him. Complainant told him he would
1;ot take him unless he consented to pay the full fare, and
Lim:bed his arm to prevent him getting into the omnibus, when
the defendant said," You vagabond, if you touch me again, I'll
knock you down ;" and he instantly struck complainant in the
face a severe blow, which cut his nose and made it bleed.
Complainant said nothing to him, except telling him the fare
was a shilling. Complainant never struck defendant or offered
to strike him. Complainant gave defendant in charge for the
assault, bet on hi, obtaining defendant's address at the station-
house, forbore to press the charge.

The defendant,' in answer to the charge, said that believing
the fare for the distance he intended to go was only tid., he told
the conductor he would pay the proper fare, when the defen-
dant, in an insulting manner, took hold of his arm and said
he should not get into the omnibus, which he repeated, after
being told to desist, and he acknowledged he then struck him.
He Zdmitted, however, that the complainant's language was
not insolent.

Mr. CLIVE said, that as the defendant had not entered the
omnibus the conductor had a right to demand what tare he
pleased. Had the conductor allowed him to get in without
first telling him the fare *as Is., and then afterwards charged
more than the customary fare of 6d., it would have been clearly
an act of extortion ; and if proprietors of omnibuses took ad-
vantaire of the time of night or of the weather to make an in-
creased charge, they were bound to inform their passengers of
it before they entered the omnibus. As to the question of the
public right to get into an omnibus—if the proprietors pos-
sessed the right of making bargains as to the fares (which he
consislered they did possess), they had clearly the right of pre-
venting persons getting hitt) their vehicles who refused to com-
ply with their terms. With respect to this charge, as the de-
fendant struck the conductor a violent blow, which was un-
called for, he must fine him 10s. and costs.
The defenderst immediately raid the penalty, and was dis-
charged.
