GOLD WATCHES.

J. DENT, by Special Appointment, Chrono-
U.I• meter and Watchmaker to the Queen and his Royal
Highness Prince Albirt, offers an extensive assortment of
HORIZONTAL WATCHES at 101. 10s. each. From their
great advantages over those of the vertical description in per-
formance, appearance, and flatness, he recommends them for
Ladies' or Gentlemen's wear. They have elegant engraved
or plain gold dials and cases, and the movements are jewelled
in four holes, and the performance guaranteed. An abstract
from Mr. Dent's Lectures on the Construction and Manage-
ment of Chronometer Watches and Clocks, ,may be had gra-
tuitously by customers, or to the public price I s.--82, Strand.

CHWEPPE and C o.'s SODA WATER,
1.7 LEMONADE, and other AERATED WATERS, con-
tinue in the highest repute, with all those who appreciate the
best article that can be manufactured. Their four manufacto-
ries, in London, Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby, are in constant
operation, to meet the demand that is daily received from all
parts of the United Kingdom, proving thereby, that although
numerous imitators have sprung up, the high reputation of their
House has been successfully maintained against all competition.
The public are cautioned to look fur the " Red Label" on the
cork of each bottle, with the name of their firm, without
which none are genuine.
N.B.—Each bottle has its proportion of Alkali.

GREAT FIRE IN LOCIIAR Moss.—On the evening
of Friday last a tremendous fire was seen burning on the Caer-
laverock side of Lochar Moss, which, it appears, originated
near the present resting. place of the steam-plough, right op..
posite to Brocklehirst. Judging from the eye, the range of
conflagration exceeded a mile, and, as night closed in, attracted
the marked attention of all travellers along the line of the
Annan-road. '1 he flame seemed to rise to the height of seven
or eight feet, and flickered so splendidly far and near, above
and around, that the conflagration, on a scale far exceeding
Muirburn, was at once appalling, sublime, and beautiful. Old
birds and hares in great numbers were seen flying and running
from the scene of danger, leaving pouts and leverets to their
fate.—Duntfries Courier.

THETFORD.

The Committee appointed to try this petition met this morn-
ing at eleven.

There had been three candidates at the election, Mr. Bing-
ham Baring, Lord Eastnor, and Sir Charles Flower. Mr. Ba-
ring had been returned by a large majority, and the other
two candidates were equal on the poll.
The Counsel for Lord Eastnor informed the Committee that
it was not his intention to defend his return, and the second seat
for the borough would then be given up to Sir C. Flower.
A vote was then struck off the poll of Lord Eastnor, and Sir
C. Flower having been thus placed in a majority of one, wa3
declared duly elected for the borough.

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYNE.
Ti,. Committee met this day at two o'clock, to try the peti-
tion of --- Miller, against the return of Mr. Harris, one of
the sitting Members for this borough; Sir J. Yarde Buller in
the chair.

Air. Austin, with whom was Mr. M. Smith, appeared for
Harris; and Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and Mr. Talbot
appeared for the petitioner.
'i be grounds upon which the prayer of the petition was
founded, were want of qualification on the part of the sitting
Member, bribery, and treating.
Previous to the examination of any witnesses,
Mr. SMITH applied that the Committee would require the
petitioners to give the names of the respective witnesses in-
tended to be produced, and the nature of their evidence, staling
when and where the bribery and treating, which was purposed
to be established, was committed. Such a case was the more
necessary, as in many instances the witnesses were hostile to
the sitting Member; and it was only by tact, and close cross-
examination, that truth could be elicited from them.
Mr. BERNAL inquired, what course was adopted in criminal
cases with respect to these matters ?

SMITIL replied, that in such cases, upon an application
being made to the Judge in Chambers, the particulars would
be ordered.

Mr. Sergeant ¶VRANGIIAII was addressing the Committee
against the application of Mr. Smith, when the Speaker was
announced to be at prayers, and the Committee adjourned till
to. morrow.

It has already been said it abounds with family comfort; it is so
judiciously planned that the grand suite of apartments are all in
communication with the long gallery verandah, which overlooks
and extends by a flight of :tone steps to the beautiful lawn, where
the cypress and the weeping willow are contrasted with a little army
of American plants and flowering shrubs without end; in the
centre of this beauteous scene is _

THE LITTLE PARK PADDOCK,
and around it is the plantation walk. The villa is adorned by
A CONSERVATORY AND HOT-HOUSE,
the melon and cucumber grounds are a little removed in company
with the fish pond; the kitchen garden is on the opposite side,
only separated by the road, and there is an additional paddock for
two more cows connected with it; the courtyard is so complete
that it would be difficult to discover a single want; in fact, it is
altogether one of the most eligible villas in the market.
It can only be viewed by particulars, to be had of Messrs. Roy,

THIS WONDERFUL WORK OF ART

in the accustomed limit of an advertisemenr. A very short ana-
lysis will, it is believed, awaken the attention of all those who
know how to appreciate such a matchless display of ingenuity, and
incline them to seek, by ocular demonstration, a confirmation fat
exceeding the impression this imperfect representation may have
elicited. It should be remarked that the original from which
THIS SPLENDID MODEL OF THE MAUSOLEUM
IS FORMED ENTIRELY OF WHITE MARBLE,
and some idea may be imagined of its extraordinary magnificence
by the simple fact that the original cost in its completion

SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS.
It is raised on an elevated terrace of white and yellow marble;
having at its angles four lofty minarets of the same material. The
centre hall is the size of the Ratcliffe Library. Enclosed within is
a carved screen of elaborate tracery, and the tombs of the Great
Mogul and his beloved wife. The ivory model of this paragon of
beauty, the subject of this announcement, occupies a space of nine
square feet, and is six feet high. The walls, the tombs, and the
screens, are covered with representations of flowers and inscrip.
lions, executed in mosaic, lapis lazuli, and jasper, by different
coloured ivories. It is the work of Indian artists, and probably is
the chef d'muvre and the greatest effort in Indian ivory working.
It is not the hasty produce of a day, but the result of many years
of patient application. The windows are carved in lattices, and
the pavement is in alternate squares of white, or, as it is termed in
England, " Sienna marble ;'' and around the hall are various apart.
meats and corridors. It is the writer's ardent desire, and a con.
summation devoutly to be wished, that it should be placed in
THE ARCHIVES OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM,
as an imperishable record of the perseverance and talent of our
Indian subjects, and the model of a real building now extant ;
consequently it can no where find so worthy and appropriate a
resting place as the classic deposit*y already alluded to.— A more
minute description is ready at the Exhibitio❑ Rooms, 209, Regent.
street, and in Covent-garden.

THE PUREST TASTE OF ELIZABETH

is most conspicuous; the balconies and the verandah are in a sin-
iilarly good taste; indeed the modern school will hail it as a
in dcl whereon to improve the rising generation ; it is, beside, one
solid mass of strength and durability, mixed up with splendid
taste. The windows are of painted glass, the floors and wood-work
principally of solid carved oak. It is

A SINGULARLY ELEGANT LITTLE BIJOU,
one of a character to suit a moderate-sized family; but it is more
distinctly

UNE MAISON DE BACHELIER.

The grounds may be improved by a little more planting, and the
gardens will be better stocked next season ; but the villa is perfect,
and very nearly completed for instant occupation—the oak furni.
ture prevailing throughout.

Mr. Robins feels an irresistible impulse to call the attention of
the elite in good taste to this delightful toy. It is two miles and a
half from Windsor, and two from the Great Western Station.
Particulars may be had, 21 days prior to the sale, at Botham's,
Salt Hill; the Hotels, Windsor; of Messrs. Farrar and Lake.
Doctor's-commons; the Auction Mart; and in Covent-garden.

L' 'AI A Vi S

AND

futlitc Opinion.

" Who runs man read."

POIZEIGAT.

The Speech of the Archbishop of Paris to the King, on
Saturday last, is the prominent topic in the original articles of
the Paris journals. The Constitutionnel, Courrier Francais,
and National, bestow unqualified censure on the clergy of
Paris for this manifestati,in, which they describe as highly
-improper, whilst the Quotidienne, France, Globe, and
Univers declare that it must. appear unobjectionable to all
right-minded persons that the clergy should attempt to induce
tha higher powers to put an end to the desecration of the
Sabbath.

The Correspondent of a contemporary writes from Madrid
as follows. The statement is astounding France ts ould
app.ar resolved upon carrying out her hostile policy towards
this country by any or every means in her power. fler pre-
sent project for effecting her objects is the worst and most
shameful of all she has yet attempted. You are aware that
she claims from this country a debt of something like a mil-
lion and a quarter sterling for the expenses of the Army of In-
vasion of ltr23, and putting down the constitutional system of
that period in the Peninsular. France has now, I can assure
you of the fact, made a formal demand for the payment of this
burn to the Spanish Minister ! In other words, France has
the shantelet.s audacity to exclaim to her victim, Spain, a
million sterling, or the marriage of your Queen to the sun of
the bigot-despot Don Carlos !' Commentary upon such atro-
cious conduct would be superfluous—no exposition could add
to its baseness "

OF THREE HUNDRED FOUNDS A-YEAR,

is secured for a term, of which forty. four years are yet unexpired.
It was entirely rebuilt a few years since at a cost which may be
estimated at near

" TEN THOUSAND POUNDS."
It is under lease to Messrs. Bond, for a period which will be deter-
mined in thirteen years, at a very
INADEQUATE RENT OF SIX HUNDRED POUNDS
A-YEAR,

and at the end of the term in forty.four years, the purchaser will
be entitled to the increased rent. As an investment, it appears
especially adapted to those who look forward to an adequate pro.
vision for their children, for he must be sceptical over much who
can doubt that St. James's-street will not maintain its proud superi.
ority to the end of time.
Particulars will be ready 21 days prior to the sale, at the Auction
Mart ; of Messrs. Metcalfe, Woodhouse, and Metcalfe, Lincoln's
Inn ; Messrs. Simpson, and Co., Solicitors, Austin Friars ; and in
Covent-garden.

MISSION ERS.

The Court then proceeded to the election. of the Commis-
sioners under the new Act. The following Aldermen were
chosen, viz., Aldermen Sir James Duke, Farebrother, Gibbs,
and Alagnay. .
Before the Commoners were elected the following section
was, upon the motion of a rat mher, read by, the Town Clerk:
—l* That the qualification of a Commissioner for general pur••
poses, for London and other places, shall be the possession of
lands, tenements, and'hereditatneLts, in Great Britoil), of the

rents and incumbrances or the possession of person :1 estate of
the value of 5,0001., or a personal estate, or an interest therein,
being together of the value of 2001., estimating in every such
ease 1001. persona estate as equivalent to 41. per annum, and
an interest from personal estate of 41. per annum us equivalent

MUSIC.

"I LANGUISH FOR A FRIENDLY HEART"
Song, written by Major CALDER CAMPBELL.
Composed, and dedicated by permission, to the Right
Hon. the Countess y Mexborough, by J. VINNING.
A pretty simple ballad, set to very appropriate
music by Mr. Vinning. The melody is graceful and.
flowing, and the accompaniment very judicious, sup-
porting, but not drowning., the voice. It will be a
favourite with all those ladies who prefer the flow of
melody to the exhibition of mere tours de force, and
as it requires no excessive power of voice to give it
full effect, this sung will no doubt become a favourite
in the drawing-room.

MR. WILSON'S FAREWELL EN-
TEtatuNmENT in LONDON for the SE.I6ON.
On Wednesday Mr. Wilson gave his last entertainment for
the season, at the Hanover-square Rooms, whit:el were crowded,
and on no occasion could this favourite vocalist have been more
gratified, for the plaudits of his numerous and fashionable
wit-
once were given in the roost heal), manner. After he had
sung h.s last song, Mr. Wnson, iu a tow words at pitting,"
expressed his gratitude for the reception his entertainment,
had met with. fle.e!immeneed them by announcing throe, and
ad gone on till he had reached the twenty- ninth; at the Music
Hall. in Store-stye. t, besides having givi n them in the
Hanover-square Rooms, in Hackney. in Kennington, Camber-
well, and other p.l..ts in the neighbourhood of Lotidon,
in all which places they had met with equal success.
In conclusion, he hoped that those Ladies and GCntl,meti who
had attended his Enterianinients, many of the, with,ut miss-
ing a siogle night, had had no cause to regret having pass,d a
few hours in his company. He mentioned his interl.ton of
btinging forward his Entertainmen.s next season, which he
trusted . would merit the same patronage that those of this
sea,ori had received, and ended by repeating M 153 Joanna
Raillie's lines:—

Sweet sleep be with you, one and all,
And if upon its stillness fall
The visions of a busy brain,
We'll live our plea-tires o'er again.
To warm the heart, and °hetr the sight
Gay dreat,s to all ! Good night I Good night !

Mr. W;;son, *4(4 ru•tieating for a-few weeks, visits, as we
have elsewhere remarked, the leading provincial towns in Eng-
land, as also'Seotland and Ireland.
