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 mixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resist ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his pwn, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore 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 Its New Plate since its introduction. C. NV.,

SODA WATER, LEMONADE, and FLUID MAGNESIA.
ROUGHSEDGE and SUMMERS, Nos. 18, and
37, Bridge. street, Bristol, return their grateful acknow-
ledgments to their Friends and the Public for the unprece-
dented support they have met with since they established their
SODA WATER, LEMONADE,and /ERATED WATERS
MANUFACTORY. They also beg leave to inform the
Nobility, Gentry, &c., that they have commenced manufac-
turing a FLUID MAGNESIA, which has been analysed by
one of the first Philosophical Chemists in England, and has
been pronounced by the most eminent of the Faculty to con-
tain a greater quantity of medicine than any other yet offered to
the public, and the concentration of the bicarbonate in R. and
S. 'S FLUID MAGNESIA (without detriment to its purity )
to be much mere considerable than in many other productions
of the kind.

The great advantage of this elegant preparation is recom-
mended
in all cases of Bile, Acidities, Indigestion, Gout,
Gravel, and other Complaints of the Bladder, as the most safe,
easy, and effectual form in which Magnesia may, and, indeed,
the only one in which it ought to be, exhibited ; possessing all
the properties of the Magnesia now in general use, without
being liable, like it, to form dangerous concretions in the
bowels, it effectually cures Heart-burn, without injuring the
coats of the Stomach, add prevents the food of infants turning
sour, and in all cases it acts as an agreeable aperient.
N.B. With the Acidulated Syrup the FLUID MAGNESIA
forms the most delightful of Saline Draughts.

SODA WATER.

ROUGHSEDGE and SUMMERS have hitherto relied on
the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate
the superior quality of the ./Erated Water produced by
their manufactory, and they have scorned to have re-
course to any tricks. In the present day some persons
consider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery
in order to extend the sale of their own productions by
detracting from the merits of rival establishments. R.
and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe-
riority of their own soda-water and lemonade, founded
on the recommendation of the most eminent of tha
faculty, on the results of the most searching chemical
analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand
for them by the public, both at home and abroad,
that they have hitherto treated the insinuations
of quackery alluded to with the contempt they
deserve. But if thews indirect insinuations are
still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel
themselves justified in offering those explanations that
may enable the public to judge for themselves. If R. and
S. have placed the name of Schweppe upon their bottles,
it was never to mislead the public as to connexion with
that firm, but for the purpose of announcing a legitimate
fact, and always subordinate to their own. Without im-
puting. undue credit to the name of Schweppe, they have
simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe
and Co., —an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would have
been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very
period that the waters sold by Schweppe gave to that
name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers
was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold
by that house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It is
many years since any person, having the slightest
connexion with the name or family of the late Mr.
Schweppe, has been connected with- any house in the
trade. In the year 1834, the proprietor of the busi-
ness carried on under the name of Schweppe and Co.
sold his interest to persons with whom R. and S.
declined to remain : they preferred employing their in-
dustry and practical knowledge in establishing a business
for their own mutual profit. Whether the waters since
manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and Co.
retain the quality which acquired for that house all its
celebrity, R. and S. decline to give an opinion ; but, in
justice to themselves, they do, with the most perfect con-
fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma-
nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which bear
their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi-
cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning
wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than
their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedge and
Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived
from filling them with waters of their own manufactory.
ROUGHSEDGE and SUMMERS only desire such patronage
as may be deserved from the Erated Waters produced
at their own manufactory, and' sold under the labels of
their own name.-37, Bridge-street, Bristol.

Chapel-place, Belgrave-square, London, had a bad leg and foot,
which, by disease, became entirely shapeless, resembling, in ap-
pearance, the trunk of a tree, and covered with knots, rucks,
and rolls of hard flesh; the ease was such, that for three years
the lady could scarcely walk across the room. Surgeons of
great eminence were consulted, but afforded ne relief ; she,
however, now declares that by the use alone of the above me-
dicines she can walk miles in a day. To be had at Professor
Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, near Temple Bar,

IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE•
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any enconium on its merits might appear snper-
fluous ; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public 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 on 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 genuine 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.
The deception referred` to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Schweppe'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 cemmon water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
later is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legitirs 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 their 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 and 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 and
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. Schweppe's
Lemonade is an elegant preparation of mere 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, &e., nor is it less de-
sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will
have a yellow fable on its side, with the name and address of
the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the
German Seltzer Water, sshich 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.

Copy of a communication addressed to Messrs.
Rowland and Son, No. 20, Hatton-garden, London :—Gentle-
men,—Being called upon to attend a lady, who had had a com-
plaint in her head about a year before, and, in consequence, had
lost nearly all her hair; I found very few hairs remaining, and
those just like down, with no appearance of any fresh roots.
She stated her desire to use your Macassar Oil, but I felt I
could not conscientiously recommend any thing for its recovery,
as I considered it too far gone. She, however, determined to
try one bottle, which was used in about a month, and then sent
to my shop for another, stating her hair to be much improved ;
she has now used eight bottles in as many months, during
which time I have frequently (painted it, and have new the
pleasure to inform you, that it is quite thick and long : and she
is so much pleased with the change, that she says the expense
is nothing, and she will never be without it. If you think this
statement of facts worth publishing, you are at liberty to do so,
and remain yours respectfully, JOHN 'ACKLEY, Hair-cutter.

A SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—EarIy on Wednes-
day morning a young hare was found alive in the yard
of the house, No. 32, East King-street, South Shields,
adjoining the Pontop and South Shields Railway.
There is every reason to suppose that, on the pre-
ceding night, puss must have been roused out of her form
by the noise of one of the locomotive engines which travel
on the above railway, and in her fright had taken to the
road in advance of the engine, which she must have
headed all the way to the town, where most likely seeing
the engine stop, and fearing to renew the race, she
threw herself over the battlements. When taken up, her
back was found to be much injured by the fall.—Tyne
Mercury.
Lord and Lady Elizabeth Clemenf s, the Lady
Pollington, Captain Freemantle, the Hon. Mr. Fortescue,
Admiral Galloway, Major Waller, the Rev. Mr. Young,
and Sir George and Lad y Westphal, took their depar-
tures yesterday from Blackwall, by the General Steam
Navigation Company's favourite steam-ship Rainbow,
Captain .J. Fife, for Antwerp, en route for the Rhine.
The Wilberforce, belonging to the same Company,
arrived from Antwerp, after a fine run of only 18 hours ;
this vessel's outward passage was noticed in this journal,
having on board many fashionable personages including

PRICE OF SUGAR.
EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY.

Table showing the ex•duty prices of British Sugars
in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same agaix:sp
that of Foreign Sugars :
London, Aug. 5, 1842.
The Gazette of this evening will quote the average
price per cwt. s. d.
Of West Indian Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 36 5-1,
East India do. do. at 36 64
Mauritius do. do. at 37 1

The actual quantities of West Indian, East Indian,
and Mauritius Sugars sold on account of the im-
porters, in the week ending the 2d inst., according to
the returns made upon oath by the sugar brokers, in
conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which
quantities the above prices are computed, consisted of
About 37,015 cwt. of West India
3,275 do. of East India
8,194 do. of Mauritius

48,484 together.
Some persons who attend the market are of opinion
that the quotations of East India and Mauritius Su-
gars, in addition to West Indian—as required by the
Custom-House Act, recently passed, and now in ope-
ration, are inserted in the Gazette for the.parpose of
keeping down the apparent average price they
say that Kaur Sugar, which is a dirty un-
wholesome kind of Sugar, made chiefly from dates,
will be classed as East India Sugar, and that as
this filthy stuff is sold ex-duty at 18s. per cwt.,
it must ensure a reduction in the quoted average
price of East India Sugar : again, they also say, that
as a proportion of the Mauritius Sugar is of an ex-
tremely low and black quality, inferior to the worst
description of Bastards, the sale of it under the de-
nomination of Mauritius Sugar will, of course, un- ,
fairly depress the average price of that class of Sugar,
the object being, they allege, that in case any remon-
strance should be made in Parliament against the
high price of British Sugars, to enable the Govern-
ment to point to the Gazette to refute the charge;
and also with the view to fulfil the prediction of Sir
Robert Peel, that the price of Sugar would decline.
Others impute the alteration to the desire on the
part of the Government to ascertain, with some de-
gree of accuracy, what price the public is really pay-
ing for Sugar, preparatory to such a reduction of
duty as will admit Foreign Sugars to home consump-
tion : in the event of such a measure being brought
forward, we shall have the West Indians, backed by
other monopolists, clamouring vehemently for pro-
tection.

Should the first party be right in their conjecture,
we shall from time to time publish what sales of
Maur, or black Mauritius Sugar, are effected : and
if the second are correct in their views, we shall
watch the movement, and not fail in our duty of
calling public attention to any attempt to bolster
up West India interests at the expense of the
nation, by differential duties. The public will bear in
mind that the annual consumption of Sugar, now fa-
voured by the law, is, in round numbers, about four
million cwt., :and that, therefore, to place a duty of
one shilling per cwt. more on foreign than on British
sugars, will be to indirectly tax the consumers to the
tune of 200,0001. per annum, just for the sake of en-
riching a set of monopolists to that extent, who have
for years past fleeced the nation annually, through
excessive prices, of three to four millions sterling.
Everybody will remember the hypocritical excla-
mations with which the reduction of duty on foreign
Sugars was met by the monopolists when proposed
by the late Government. Would you, said they, con-
taminate British palates with slave-labour sugar ?
Would you encourage a wicked and abominable sys-
tem of slavery by consuming Sugar raised by
negroes, who are still groaning under its chains ?
Would you neutralise the humane efforts of the Bri-
tish nation, which has so liberally sacrificed twenty
millions sterling to accomplish the emancipation of
our own blacks ? Oh, for shame ! This species of
opposition came pretty well from a party who, if they
had dared, would have risen in open rebellion to pre-
vent the liberation of the slaves they then held and
tortured, and who actually exerted their utmost
powers to obstruct the benevolent wishes of the na-
tion, by throwing every practicable difficulty in the
way of emancipation. But what follows exhibits
cant still in stronger colours. A Bill is introduced
into the House of Commons to permit, under
certain conditions, the deportation of Hill
Coolies to some of the Sugar plantations.
Will it be believed, this very same party, who had
expressed so much horror at the mere idea of encou-
raging slavery by the admission of foreign sugar to
home use, now turn round, throw their notions over-
board, and applaud the scheme to the sky—a scheme
which will place under the control of their planters a
large body of fresh labourers, who will in fact, though
perhaps not in name, be presently reduced to the piti-
able condition of slaves. Before a single
-human being

is turned over as a labourer to the tender mercies Of
West India planters, this question should be satisfac-
torily answered, What has become of the miserable
victims, the Hill Coolies, who were kidnapped in
India, and landed about three years ago in Demerara?
Far better than the average quality of. West India
Sugar has been sold at Liverpool for 17s. per cwt. ;
low qualities of Manilla Sugar have been sold at 13s.
and 14s. per cwt. Dutch Crashed, double refined, has
fetched only 225. 6d. per cwt. ; and the Board of
Trade have received a letter from Messrs. Moore and
Co., of Liverpool, offering them a whole cargo of
Brazil Sugar at 15s. per cwt. The British nation is,
therefore, paying the Sugar Monopolists about 120
per cent. more for their sugar than it is worth in the
European markets.
