A MIZAIGAN. SOOTHING SYRUP, for Chil-
xx.duen while Cutting their Tceth.—A more singular in-
stance of the efficacy of this in eattfable Medicine cannot be
found, than in the case of a Child of Mrs. Smith's, No. 20,
Peartree,street, Waterloo-road, the child at 19 mouths old
having only four teeth, arid sniteringunder the mostalarming
waste of body, it was emaciated to such a degree that its arms
appeared to contain only a fibrous substance, no bone being
felt; in this state the child litigeredformany montlis,incapable
of being moved, when Providence difccted her to try the
SOOTHING SYRUP, which in one week produced four more
teeth and destroyed the, tever which had so long threatened
the life of the Child, who is now four years old, haring cut all
his teeth, and the bones seem to be, restored to their natural
stilistance, and the Child is able to walk abut with the as-
sistance of a gu-cart. 'kite mother having another child three
montlis old, lost no time in applying the Syrup to its grains,
which brough its teeth through with ease, and therefore pre-
vented thine alarming symptoms which so often attend denti-
tion. Tke above singular case may be proved by applying as
above, where the child may be seen.

MUSH ROOMS.

As there has been lately a more plentiful supply
►►f this vegetable than haS baldly ever been kno,%n
before, and as several receipts have bee,' given in
the Newspapers for making Mushroom Catsup, we
present to our Readers that of Dr. KITCHL. Ca,
which, we understanJ, is far superior to all the
others :

" Mushroom Juice approaches the nature and
flavour of meat gravy more than any vegetable,
and is the best substitute for it in meagre soups,
and extempore gravies, the chemistry of the
kitchen has yet contrived to agreeably awaken
' the palate and encourage appetite.
" 1 believe the following is the best way of ex-
tracting and preparing the Essence of Mush-
rooms, so as to procure and preserve all their fine
flavour for a considerable length of titre. Begin
to look out for mushrooms from the beginning of
September. Fuse full-grown flaps are to be pre-
ferred : pat a layer of these at the bottom of a
sleep earthen pan, and sprinkle them with salt,
then another layer of mushrooms, and some
more salt on than, and so on alternately, salt and
mushrooms ; let them remain m o or three hours,
by which time the salt will have penetrated the
mushrooms, and rendered them easy to break ;
mash them %veil with your hands, and let them
remain in salt for a couple of days, stirring them
up and mashing them well each day; then punt
them into a stone jar, and to each quart add halt
an ounce of whole black pepper ; stop the jar
very close,and set it in a stewpan of boiling water,
and keep it boiling for two hours at least. Take
oust the jar, and pour the jsuce clear from the
settlings through a hair sieve (with out squeezing
the mushrooms) into a clean stewpau let it boil
ver., gently for half an hour, skim it•well, and
pour it into a clean dry jar or jug ; let it stand
till next day, then pour it off as gently as pos-
sible, (so as not to disturb the settlings at the
bottom of the jug,) through a taint-Ms, or thick
flannel bag Bottle it in pints or halt pints, (for
it is best to keep it in such quantities as are soon
used ;) in each pint pot a dozen berries of black
pepper, the sante of allspice, and a table spoon-
ful of brandy. Take esecial care that it is closely
corked, and sealed down, or dippdd in bottle ce-
ment, (to snake this, see 118th page of '' The
Conk's Oracle.") It kept in a cool dry place,
it will be good for two years but if it is badly
corked, and kept in a damo place, it will soon
spoil. Examine it front time to time, by placing
a strong light behind toe neck of the bottle, and
if any pellicle appears about it, bUil it up again
with a few pepper corns. We have ordered no
more spice, &c. than is absolutely necessary to
teed the catsup, and keep it from fermenting.
Brandy is an excellent preservative to all pre•
partitions of this sort, pickles, &c. Ste. The less
the natural flavour of the mushroom is overpower-
ed the better.

" What is commonly called Catsup is general-
ly an injudicious composition (Aso many different
tastes, that the flavour of the mushroom is o'er-
powered by a farago of garlic, shallot, anchovy,
mustard, horseradish, lemon-peel, beer, wine,
spices, &c."

POTATOES.--it is with much satisfaction we
are enabled to state, by various authorities on
which we can rely,- that the improvetheht which
has lately take': place in the general potatoe crops,
in this part of Ireland, is greater than had been
anticipated by the most sanguine expectation.—
The weather within the last month has beep► as
favourable ,o the increase of those roots as could
he desired ; abundant rain, accompanied with ge-
nial warmth, acting on the soil in which heat had
been accumulated by a long continuance of a tem-
perature snitch higher than had been known for 20
years. The effect of the union of those propi-
tious circumstances has been to swell the tubers'
of the potatoe plants to a degree unexampled i 0
this period of the season, insomuchillikat we may
now safely estimate the produce of the late, or
principal potatoe crops, as fully equal to an average
pro p ort ion.—(Cork Advertiser)

THE BODY STEALERS AND THE CONSTABLES.—
A few nights ago, Teasdale, a constable of St.
Pancras, and another assistant constable, stopped
two men, named Thomas Moore and William
Hart iot, in Brunswick-square, carrying a hamper
containing a dead body ; they took the men to the
watch-house, where they deposited the body, and
next day conveyed the prisoners to Hatton-Gar-
den Police Office, where they were held to bail
by the Magistrate, and the body was ordered to
be interred. The constables, whose active con-
duct in taking the prisoners, were praised very
much, thought proper to take the body front St.
Pancras Watch-house, in a hackney-coach, to Mr.
Carpue, the Anatomist, and offered to sell it ;
they informed Mr. C. how they came possessed
of the •` subject," and he declined buying it, say-
ing, if it belonged to any body, it must be to
those whom they had taken it from. The con-
stables then proceeded with the body to St. Tho-
mas's Hospital, and there sold it to the porter for
one pound, and the porter sold it to the surgeons
for four pounds. Yesterday the conduct of the
constables was laid before the Magistrates, and
they recommended a bill of indictment to be pre-
ferred against them at the next Quarter Sessions,
for a misdemeanour.

As some workmen were digging last week. in
a gravel-pit, about half a mile horn the city of
York, they discovered the remains of several hu-
man skele►ons. One of them, apparently that of
a female, bad round the waist a curious plaited
bracelet, and near it was found a pair of silver
earrings, and three small brass coins. Two of
them are of the reign of CONSTANTINE, and the
other of Cafsrus, and are all in good preservation.
