TIIE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extr,me durability of the material made ex-
elusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of 66 Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &e.
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying cur material
so that acids do not aficct it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at cur warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and, can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

ST &TISTZCS.

At Bolton the destitution may be judged of from the circum-
stance that among a population of 1,000 families, consisting of
5,300 persons, there were only 1,553 beds, and only 466
blankets found among them ; being ten and a-half human
beings to each blanket, and only two chairs for every three
persons.
According to the present calculation of trades in France, a
Parisian can command any one of 1,587 physicians to attend
him, 568 architects ready to build on his plan, 843 wholesale
wine-merchants, 746 booksellers, 394 perfumers, 936 tailors,
341 glovers, 336 umbrella-makers, 495 butchers, and 106 bath-
ing establishments, with a crowd of other administrants to his
comfort or luxury.
xavaz AND MILITARY.

The annual inspection of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich
took place on Wednesday under the command of Col. Cleveland.
Lord Bloomfield, after inspecting the whole of the men, horses,
and appointments, complimented the force on their superior
cleanliness of person and soldier-like appearance.

I.AW AND POLICE.
The first meeting of the second firm of " Acramans, Mor-
gan, and Co., the extensive ironmongers," took place on Wednes-
day at the Commercial-rooms, Bristol, the Commissioners
being Messrs. Arthur Pelmet, jun., Joseph Grace Smith, and
William Tanner. After several debts had been proved, a
question arose as to a proof endeavoure'l to be established by
the Messrs. Lepper, of Belfast, cotton-merchants, who sought
to prove upon the estate for three bills, two of 500/. each, and
one of 608/. 12e., which had been renewed and guaranteed by
them. The Court, after duly cotridering the circumstances
involved, decided that they could not admit the pi oof.
At Tullamore, King's County, on the 16th, Walter Wheela-
han was convicted of the murder of his wife at Killen, on the
31st of May last. It appeared he had formed au attachment
for another woman, and on the unfortunate woman being missed
by her relatives, search was made, and the body was found in
a field near the house, which the husband had ploughed over
the day after the murder. He was ordered for execution.
A long investigation took place on Wednesday at Guildhall,
before Sir Peter Laurie, into the affairs of the Westminster
Loan and Investment Company. Several persons connected
with the Company were present, and one of them stated that
the case before the Magistrate had nothing to distinguish it
from the stoppage of any other bank. The further hearing
was adjourned till Wednesday.

CLERKEIVIV.ELL.

Thomas and John Farren were charged with violentlyas••
saulting police constable 275 N.
It appeared that, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the complainant
hearing a great noise in a public-house, hastened thither in order
to quell the disturbance. He found Thomas Farren somewhat
intoxicated and very riotous,' he immediately took him into
custody. On his way to the station-house, at Thorney-bridge.
Islington, he broke from the policeman's gripe, ran behind him,
gut his head between his legs, and threw the policeman right
on the top of his head. He then rushed on the constable before
he could recover the effects of the fall, and kicked and beat hint
in a most violent manner. S 202, fortunately came up and
took him into custody. When they reached John-street, Pen-
tocville, the other prisoner, brother of the former, fell on the
policeman, and attempted to rescue his brother, but failed in
doing so.
Mr. GREENWOOD sentenced Thomas to one month's impri-
sonment and hard labour, and John to one fortnight.

the preceding night, and all those that could be accommodated

up a stone and deliberately broke the large lamp over the gates.
He was then given into custody.
The defendant said that he came from Liverpool to look for
work or get a ship, but could get neither, and he was starving.
—lle was committed for 14 days.

ST. BOSWELL'S FAIR.

This great annual market was held on St. Boswell's
Green on Monday, the 18th, when fully more than the
usual number of lambs was brought forward. They were
in good condition, being in no respect inferior to those
exhibited in former years. Although the exposers of
this kind of stock had made up their minds to sell at a
lower rate than in former years, yet the purchasers
being determined to buy at very low prices, the sales,
instead of commencing as usual at six o'clock lag-
ged till about eight, and, even at that late hour, few or
none were effected. When the sellers saw at there
were few purchasers and little demand, they were forced
to give in and sell at reduced rates. The prices averaged
from 15s. to 19s. a-head. These may be stated as among
the top lots of their respective kinds in the market.
Many others were sold at inferior prices ; but, after all,
it was computed that about one-third of the lambs ori-
ginally brought forward left the market unsold.
There were few old sheep exposed, and those which
were in condition for the butcher, may be rated at
about 54d. per lb. Rough hogs were so very inferior,
that we forbear mentioning prices. There was very
little demand for that description of stock. There was
an ordinary number of wool-merchants, and although
they were disposed to buy, it was only at a reduction on
last year's prices. The best parcels of half-bred and
Cheviot hog wool sold at from 245. to 255. per stone of
24 lbs. Cheviot white and half-bred ewe do., with a
small proportion of hog fleeces, from 20s. to 225, do.
laid Cheviot, 135., and 14s. do. blackfaced ; white from
lls. to 13s. do. Blackfaced laid from Bs. to 9s. do. In
a market of great extent prices of everything exposed do
occur both above and below quotations.
The show of cattle was fully more than an average of
that of former years. Nevertheless, of those fit for the
butcher, there was but a very limited number, and they
cannot be rated at less than 6s. 9d. and 7s. per imperial
stone. Grazing cattle were in less demand than we have
seen ; ant consequently, they could be bought upon
easier terms than in the neighbouring markets during
the summer.—Scotsman.

The carriage in which the Duke of Orleans was
riding on the day of the accident, was, says the Com-
merce, a sort of cabriolet on four wheels drawn by two
horses, known by the name of milord. It is larger and
deeper than a common cabriolet, and it is without a seat
in front, as a postilion rides one of the horses. There are
no doors to those vehicles, but simply an apron which
was rolled up, on the occasion we speak of. The hood
was down, so that the Prince could suddenly stand up
erect, without striking his head, as was generally
supposed. The springs are exceedingly flexible,
so that the body of the vehicle moves eon_
siderably at the slightest motion, which explains
the fact of the Prince falling from a jolt when riving
to speak to the postilion.

HERRING FISHERY.

PETERHEAD, JULY 14.—Our boats, both from the
north and south, have been dropping in since Monday,
but it will take all the week before they arrive. We
expect the number (including Bodham and Burnhaven)
will be about 450. On Tuesday evening and last night,
about seventy boats went out, and found that fish was on
the coast •, three boats, this morning, had twelve crans
each, and from that quantity down to a cran—many had
none. A great number of the boats will be out to-night.
STONEHAVEN: —The fishing commenced here on
Tuesday night, when upwards of twenty boats went to
sea, and all of them returned with some fish. On
Wednesday night, about forty boats went out, and re-
turned all of them with fish—a rare occurrence so early
in the season, as the fishermen scarcely expect any for
the first ten days. About sixty boats will be employed
at the fishing here this season.
The fishing commenced in the Moray Frith on Mon-
day night last. Since then several boats belonging to
Burghead, Lossiemouth, and Hopeman have been at sea
nightly ; but, as yet, the takes have been very small.
The boats at Lossiemouth, on Thursday morning, had in
all from thirty to forty crans. The number of boats em-
ployed at Burghead amounts to fifty-four ; at Lossie-
mouth, twenty-five ; and at Hopeman, four. The her-
rings are large, and of good quality.
BERWICK-UPON-TWEED.—The herring fishing has
already begun. One boat, the Brothers, went out on
Wednesday night, and got about a hundred herrings of
most excellent quality, which were bought by Mr. James
Cowe. On Thursday night two boats went out ; the
first had two crans—that is, about 1,400 or 1,500 her-
rings—and, should the weather still continue good, we
believe a general fishing will be the result next week.

LAW OF ARREST.

Lord BROUGHAM brought in a Bill for the abolition
of arrest in execution. The Bill was framed with a view to
relax the severity of the present, and at the same time to
give creditors greater facility for obtaining possession
of the property of debtors, or rather of their own pro-
perty in the hands of their debtors. Another object of
the Bill was to protect from oppression honest debtors
who made a fair and full surrender of their property.
Ilis Lor6hip likewise laid on the table a Bill for facili-
tating volmitary arrangements between Debtors and
Creditors.

Lord COTTENHAM hoped that his Noble Friend's
Bill would not prevent them from eventually adopting
the wider course of abolishing imorisonment for debt
altogether. _ _
London, England, 1842-07-22

London, England, 1842-07-22

MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.

A Messenger from the House of Commons brought up
the Customs Act Amendment Bill, and several private
Bills.

THE COUNTY COURTS BILL AND BANK-
RUPTCY LAW AMENDMENT BILL.

These Bills passed through Committee and were or-
dered to be read a third time on ;Monday.

MINES AND COLLIERIE.B BILL.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from
some place in Yorkshire against this Bill.
The Marquis of NORMANBY took this opportunity
of explaining his views upon this Bill. He was
convinced that the whole of the evidence col-
lected by the Commons had been collected in
a very praiseworthy manner, with very great
zeal, and uith every attention to correctness and im-
partiality. Great pains had been taken in the selection
of the Commissioners, and he hoped that the Bill would
pass their Lordship's House without any impediment.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY repeated his
opinion that the evidence was not to be relied on.

The Earl of DEVON thought that there was enough
in the documents before the House to justify their Lord-
ships in passing the enactments, which he had proposed
in the Bill which he had supported.
Lord CAMPBELL said that as the petition prayed for
a grant of money, the House could not receive it until
such grant had the sanction of the Crown.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that the petitioners did
not directly ask for a grant, but put that part of the
prayer hypothetically. The petition said no more than
that if their Lordships passed the Bill, they ought also
to provide for compensation to those who would be
injured by it.

SPECIAL INSURANCPS.

--
As many persons have been deterred from offering themselves
for Insurance, considering that, on account. of some ailment or
ether peculiarity of health or constitution, their lives would be
accepted, the Directors give notice that they receive proposals
on lives so affected, upon an unreserved, and faithful statement
of the particulur circumstances of the case, and under the pro-
fessional advice of their medical officer.

Special Insurances of this class, if approved, will be subject
to such extra premium as may appear to the Directors appor-
tioned to the risk to be undertaken by the office.
By order of the Board.

LATE FIRE AT HAL%IBURGH.

HAMBURGII, MAY 20.—The want of dwellings for the
workmen is still very great. The Relief Committee gives
notice to-day that it has already received three hundred
applicants on this subject. It is especially necessary to erect
temporary wooden barracks, such as those already erected in
several parts of the city, for which purpose the contributions
in money from foreign countries must be first applied ; and
then to procure means for those who have been brought under
shelter to pursue their several occupations.
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 21.—Part of the Prussian
pioneers returned yesterday to Magdeburg, and will be followed
in a few days by a second detachment. The pioneers of the
guard will soon return to Berlin, and only a small detachment
of those troops will remain here for some time longer, for the
purpose of blowicg up the ruined buildings.
We learn that a company, consisting of fourteen of our most
eminent commercial houses, has been formed, for the purpose
of advancing money on gold and plate. Each member gives
security for 300,000 marks banco, and immediately advances
40,000 marks banco.

A later to the Editor of the Correspondent, states that the
Johannum (or high school), by the judicious measures of brick-
ing up all the windows exposed to the fire, and by the employ-
ment of an engine inside the building, and a hose on the roof,
by which all the timber work was pt constantly wet, was
preserved. _ _

HAMBURGII, MAY 23.—The silver hitherto kept in the
Bank was removed yesterday morning to the vaults under the
New Exchange, which were made ready for that purpose.
The Magdeburg Gazette publishes a long letter of the
Chief President Flottwell, who was sent to Hamburgh by the
King of Prussia. It is dated Hamburgh, May 17. He ob-
serves that, though no beggars, or even unhappy persons la-
menting their misery and hopeless condition are seen, yet many
hundred families are dependent on the compassion of
their friends and acquaintances, who cannot hope to
subsist, for the future, without powerful aid ; that
there are perhaps as many who, having hitherto been in pros-
perous circumstances, cannot conquer their repugnance to ma-
nifesting a feeling of distress and care, to which they have
hitherto been strangers, and therefore faithful to the peculiar
character of the citizens of Hamburgh, ra her bear misery and
want than accept relief offered them without. delicacy. 'the
noble and charitable zeal of the associations for affording relit f
cannot be sufficiently commended.
111. Flottwell observes, that the extent of the distress is so
great, that a continuance of the kind exertions which have
been so serviceably made, and which are received at Hamburgh
with the utmost gratitude, should not relax ; and that, if it has
been thought fit to forbid the sending of bread and other pei ish•
able articles, yet money, clothing, and provisions, not liable to
spoil, will be still acceptable.
Our papers are full of accounts from all parts of Germany,
announcing collections for the sufferers by the fire.

NAVY CONTRACTS.

The Duke of RICHMOND moved for a return of the
quantity of salt provisions which had been supplied to
the Naxy during the last ten years, with the contract
price, and the countries whence supplied.
DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND.

Lord DUNALLY put a question to her Majesty's
Government, relative to two Murders which had lately
taken, place in Tipperary, and wished to know whether
the Government had taken means to secure the offenders,
and prevent the recurrence of such crimes in future.
Lord WHATINCLIFFE said it was quite impossible
for Government to devise plans for the prevention of such
crimes as those referred to. Government had inquired
into tho matter, and the murders were stated to be the
result of private revenge ; over such crimes the Govern.
ment, of course. had no control.
COLLEGE OF MAYNOOTIT.
Lord KENYON, presented a petition against any fur-
ther grant to the College of Maynooth.

ECCLESIXSTICAL COURTS.
Lord CAMPBELL laid on the table a Bill for the
transferring of the causes in the Ecclesiastical Courts
of Ireland to the Courts of this country. He should re-
serve his observations upon the Bill until the second
reading. The Bill was then read a first time.
POOR-LAW.

Lord FAVERSHAM presented a petition against the
New Poor-law. . .

Earl FALMOUTH presented a petition from the
Cornwall Medical Association, praying their Lordships
to pass a Bill to provide a proper remuneration for me-
dical officers connected with parish Unions.
CUSTOMS DUTIES (DRAWBACK) BILL.

On the motion of the DUke of WELLINGTON this
Bill was read a third time and passed.

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.

Lord COLI3ORNE moved that the Report of the
Commissioners, relative to prison discipline, be printed ;
he thought the satistical information would be very use-
ful, more particularly that part which related to solitary
confinement. He did not think that a total separation
from one's fellow creatures was a kind of punishment
which would ever be attended with beneficial results.
and which ought to be allowed in this country. The
system of solitary confinement had now had a trial, and
he should wish to see the Report of the Commissioners
upon it. • .
Lord WHARNCLIFFE doubted whether the system
of solitary confinement was one that could be main-
tained in this country.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the
punishment was too severe for the human mind.
The Duke of RICHMOND was of the same opinion
as expressed by the two Noble Lords. He' had no objec-
tion to the system being tried, but at the same time he
should prefer partial separation to solitary confinement.
The motion was then agreed to.
THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH BILL.

The Bill for assimilating the law of capital punish-
ments in England and Ireland went through Committee.
The Marquis of WATERFORD presented a petition
from a place in Ireland, praying for an alteration in the
Poor-law Bill (as we understood).
The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage; and
the House adjourned to Monday.
