PRINCE ALBERT'S HORSE-BRUSH, NEW
INVENTION.

Patronized by her MAJESTY and H. R. H. PRINCE

ALBERT.

A DAVIS, SPONGE MERCHANT
LI. • and BRUSH MANUFACTURER, by special appoint-
ment to her MAJESTY, H. 11. H. PRINCE ALBERT, their
Graces the Dukes of Somerset, Montrose, Northumberland, and
Argyle, the Dowager Duchess of Bedford, and numerous families
of distinction, 33, STRAND, begs to acctuaint the Nobility and
Gentry that he has constructed a HORSE-BRUSH upon a new
principle, suitable for race horses, hunters, and chargers, and
horses of all descriptions. It cleans with half the usual labour.
This unique invention has the power of laying the coat beauti•
fully smooth, at the same time producing a gloss like velvet. It
has only to be tried to be fully appreciated. By its use the
horse has a proper circulation of blood, without troublesome irri-
tation. Also, a newly-invented MANE-BRUSH, for horses'
manes and tails, to supersede the use of mane combs. Noblemen
and Gentlemen, in town and country, supplied at the wholesale
price s, and sent carriage free any distance, with the following arti -
cles for the use of horses and carriages, at a saving of at least 40
per cent. under any house in Ergland. Hone and carriage brushes
of every kind. Sponges of' the best quality, at half the saddler's
prices. Chamois horse clothing of every pattern. Horse
blankets, head stalls and reins, stirrup leathers, saddle girths,
composition for harness, carriage wool mats, bandages, and
every requisite for the use of the stables at wholesale prices.
Lists of prices forwarded by a post-paid application, 33. Strand.

LIFE ASSURANCES.

The additions made to the life policies granted by this Cor-
poration for the last seven years vary 'rum 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per eent„ or two per cent.
per annum on the sums assured—a result, it is believed, more
favourable than any other Company (mutual or proprietary )
has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premium
charged by this Onnyany are taken inn consideration.
The next division of life profit= will take place in December,
1R46, being an interval of Live years. and persons entering be-
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
year,.
To facilitate loan transaction= a reduced scale of rates with-
out profit has been adopted. The rates and other particulars
may be ascertained a' the above office., or at any of the Com-
nany's Branch Establishments throughout the kingdom.

SPOR.TXATG.

The death of the Duke of Orleans will be a great blow to the
French turf. The Duke kept up fine pack, of bounds at St.
Germain, Fontainbleau, and Chantilly. Racing in France,
under his management, had become quite poplar, and French
horses were sent to run on English courses. Beggarman won the
Goodwood Cup, and Nautilus is in the entry for this month.
George Edwards, the ' jockey, was the head !rainer of the
Prince. The whole of the stud is now likely to be sold off.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at half•past 12 o'Clock.
The Usher of the Black Rod appeartd at the table,
and summoned the house to the House of Lords, to
h.qtr the Royal Assent given by Commission to several
Bills.

The SPEAKER, on his return, announced to the
House that the Royal Assent had been given by Com-
mission to several Bills (for which see Lords' Report).
Mr. RICAIWO asked the Right Hon. Gentleman the
Secretary for the Home Department, whether. the Go-
vernment had received any intimation of the disturbances
in Staffordshire.

Sir J. GRAHAM said that reports of some disturbances
which had recently occurred in the Pottery districts had
reached the Government, but he was happy to state that
there was nothing of an alarming nature in those reports.
The necessary precautions had been taken for the pre-
servation of the peace, for which purpose a small
mili-
tary force had been found sufficient.

BUSINESS OF TIIE HOUSE.
On the Order of the Day for the further considerati, n
of the Ripon on the Licensed Lunatic Asylums Bill
being moved,
Sir J. GRAHAM, in reply to an Hon. Member, who
wished to know the order of business to be pursued on
Monday next, stated that he had not an opportunity of
conferring with the head of the Government on the
subject, but he was aware that the Right Hon. Baronet
had entered into arrangements with the Hon. and
Learned Member for Dunirarvon, ho was to make a
motion on the Order of the Day for going into Com-
mittee of Supply, which would involve large questions as
to the policy of .the Irish Government. , It would be im-
prudent, in his opinion, to disturb that at rungement.
FACTORY BILL.

Lord ASHLEY wished to know if his Right Hon.
Friend the Secretary for the Home Department had
stated to the House that it was not the intention of her
Majesty's Government to bring in a Bill durir4,- the pre-
sent session for the regulation of mills and factories.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM said it was the intention of
her Majesty's Government to bring in such a measure ;
but considering the state of public business, and the
advanced state of the session, and seeing that the at-
tendance of lletnbers was becoming every day less, it
was his deliberate opinion that it would not be expedient
to bring in the Bill this session. This he had stated to
his Noble Friend in private.
ECCLESIASTICAL LEASES BILL. . •

Mr. V. SMITH wished to know if it was the inten-
tion of her Majesty's Govermmnt to procee.l with the
Ecclesiastical Leases Bill this session ?
Sir J. GRAHAM said the measure was in an ad-
vanced stage, and it was, therefore, the intewit,n of the
Government -to persevere in it.

The agricultural labourers in Bucks are as distressed as any
operatives of the manufacturing districts. In the pariah of
Long Credon, 800 acres of good land do not employ ten labourers.
In Oakley, there are many labourers out of work, and distress
is rife. In Ludgershall (close to Wotton, the Duke of Buck-
ingham's residence), things are in a worse state than in any of
the preceding places. Thirty-two are there out of work de-
pending on the other villagers.

LONDON:
SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 16, 1842.

The currency wa? the subject of u nestion, put last
night by Mr. C. Woof) to the CHANCELLOR of the Ex.
CHEQUER, and, according to his statement, every per-
soe has the power to cut and deface light gold coin ; so
tnat a tradesman to whom a sovereign was offered, if he
found that it was light, might not only refuse to take it.
but might cut and deface it, before returning it to its
owner. If such be the law, we must admit that the
people have been Much wiser than the law, and, by for-
bearing to do what the law has prescribed, have saved
themselves from many quarrels, and not a few broken

heads.
That the Bank and the Excise, the Custom-house,
i
Wtotn-bouse ,
and all other public offices, should . deface all light
coin as it is brought to them, and so gradually withdraw
it, awl perpetually substitute a coinage of full weight,
di:: Government, or rather the people, paying the
ne-
cessary expense, seems rational ; but that indivi-
duals should be authorised to destroy the light coin,
which other persons may offer them, seems so monstrous
a law, so well adapted to encourage quarrels, that we

The following reflections of the Commerce Beige draws
the attention of our „Provincial Council.

There are at present 37 persons (33 men and 4 women)
confined for • debt in the prison of the Petits Carmes.
This number is quite enormous for a population of
100,000 souls, including the suburbs. It is in the pro-1
porti`on of three to 1,000. The House of Clichy, at Paris,
contains, at present, 142 prisoners, which is only 1-1 to
. . .
1.000, in a population of 1,300,000 souls. Comparing
thin two cities,,Paris should have 330 prisoners confined
for debt. Among the prisoners at Brussels, there is the
mother of four children, and one of them at the breast,
and an old man 72 years of age. When will the Legis-
lature abolish the penalty of imprisonment for debt in
the case of women and old men ?
