SOURCES OF CHILDRENS' DISEASES I

Their SYMPTOMS EVERY PARENT and GUARDIAN,
of CHILDREN should be acquainted with. They occasion lose
of appetite, a paleness of the colour of the face, emaciation mid
irregular state of the bowels, attended after with violent pains ;
they bring on convulsions; they affect the growth of the body►
and they prove fatal, by ending in a consumption or decay. Both
as a preventative and cure of these alarming complaints, the above
excellent Medklie is universally allowed, on the testimony of the
highest characters in this country, both in rank and respectabi-
lity, to have no equal. Their public approbation, given to the
Proprietor, from a personal knowledge of its wonderful success
in their own families, stamps its merit beyond competition, and
gives a sanction to it, of which No other Medicine of the kind
can boast. Parents and ethers, who have the care of children,
should have this remedy as a family Medicine to resort to, when.
ever the stomach or bowels of Children are any way disordered►
which it will always be found to relieve.

ICING CIMRLES I.

The following may be considered as the official
natrative of the discovery of the body of the above
Sovereign, at Windsor, being from the pen of Sir g.
H A Lroa D. After describing the situation of the vault
in which the coffin was found, his account proceeds :
a On removing the pall, a plain leaden coffin, with
no appearance of ever having been enclosed in wood,
and bearing an inscription, 4 .King Charles, 1648;' in
large legible characters, on a scroll of lead encircling
it, immediately presented itself to the view. A square
opening was then made in the upper part of the lid, of
such dimensions as to admit a clear insight into its
contents. These were, an internal wooden coffin,
very much decayed, and the body, carefully wrapped
in cere-cloth, into the folds of which a quantity of
unctuous or greasy matter, mixed with resin, as it
seemed, had been melted, so as to exclude as effec-
tually as possible, the external air. The coffin was
completely full ; and from the tenacity of the cere-
cloth, great difficulty was experienced in detaching
it successfully Prow. the parts which it enveloped.--
Wherever the unctuous matter had insinuated itself,
the separation of the cerecloth was easy ; and when
it came off, a correct impression of the features tQ
which it had been applied was observed in the unctu-
ous substance, At length, the whole fate was disen-
gaged from its covering. The complexion of the skin
of it was dark and discoloured. The forehead and
temples had lost little or nothing of their muscular
substance ; the cartilage of the nose was gone; but'
the left eye, in the first moment of exposure, was open
and full, tho.igh it vanished almost immediately: and
the pointed beard, so characteristic of the period of
the reign of King Charles, was perfect. The shape
of the bee was a long oval ; many of the teeth re-
wained ; and the left ear, in consequence of the in-
terpositicn of the unctuous matter between it and the
sere-cloth, was found entire.
It was difficult, at this moment, to withhold a
declaration, that, notwithstanding its disfigurement,
the countenance did bear a strong resemblance to the
coins, the busts, and especially to the pictures of
Xing Ch.dles I. by Vandyke, by which it had been
' made familiar to us. It is true, that the minds of the
spectators of this interesting sight were well prepared
I to receive this impression ; but it is also certain, that
such a facility of belief had been occasioned by the
simplicity ;ind truth of Mr. Herbert's Narrative, every
part of which had been confirmed by the investiga-
tion, so far as it had advanced : and it will not be
denied, that the shape of the face, the forehead, an
eye, and the beard, are most important features by
which resemblance is determined.

4* When the head had 'bee►► entirely disengaged
from the attachments which confined it, it was found
to be loose and, without any difficulty, was taken
up and held to view. It was quite wet*, and gave
a greenish red tinge to paper, and to linen which
touched it. The back part of the scalp was entirely
perfect, and had a remarkably fresh appearance; the
pores of the skin being more distinct, as they usually
I are when •naked in moisture; and the tendons and
ligaments of the neck were of considerable substance
and firmness. The hair was thick at the back part
of the head, and in appearance nearly black. A por-
tion of it, which has since been cleaned and dried, is
of a beautiful dark brown colour. That of the beard
was a redder brown. On the back part of the head,
it was more than an inch in length, and had proba-
bly been cut so short for the convenience of the exe-
cutioner, or perhaps by the piety of friends soon after
death, in order to furnish memorials of the unhappy
King. On holding up the head, to examine the place
of separation from the body, the muscles of the neck
bad evidently retracted themselves considerably) and
the fourth cervical vertebra was found to be cut
through its substance, transversely, leaving the sur-
face of the divided portions perfectly smooth and
even, an appearance which could have been produs
ced only by a heavy blow, inflicted with a very sharp
instrument, and which furnished the last proof want-
ing to identify King Charles the First.
" After this examination of the head, which ser-
Vki every purpose in view, and, without examining
the body below the neck, it was immediately resto-
red to its situation, the coffin was soldered up again,
and the vault closed.

•• Neither of the other coffins had any inscription
upon them. The larger one, supposed on good
grounds to contain the remains of King Henry the
Eighth, measured six feet ten inches in length, and
had been inclosed in an elm one of two inches in
thickness; but. this was decayed, and lay in a small
fragment near it. The leaden coffin appeared to
have been beaten in by violence about the middle;
and a considerable opening in that part of it exposed
a mere skeleton of the Ring. Some beard remained
upon the chin, but there was nothing to discriminate
the personage contained in it.
" The smaller coffin, understood to be that of
Queen Jane Seymour, was not touched; mere curio-
sity not being considered by the Prince Regent as a
sufficient motive for disturbing these remains.
" On examining the vault with some attention, it
was found that the wall at the west end had, at some
period cr other, been partly pulled down and repair-
ed again, not by regt.!ar masonry, but by fragments
of stones and bricks put rudely and hastily together,
without cement."
• I have not a=serted this liquid to be blood, because I bad not
an opportunity of being sure that it was so, and I wished to re-
coil' facts only, and not opinions : I believe it, however, to have
been bh.od, in which the head rested. It save to wilting-paper
and to a whit: liaticlkerchitf such a colour as blood which had
ban kept for a length of nate generally kavas behind. Nobody
yresent bad a doubt of Its being blood; and it appears by Mr.
-1 ebert's Narrative, that the King was embalmed imeitsdiately
?der decapitation. it is probable, theref,irc, that the large bloc&
voasele.eoutisiued to empty themselves for some time afterwards.
I am aware that some ol the softer pacts of the human body, and
puticulat iy the brain, undergo,* the court, of time, a deconipo-
Amami, and will melt. • A liquid, therefore, might be tumid; at! er
long Intern:eat, where sands eltly 'bad been bitried; but the
wesght of the head, in this Instance, gave no suspicion that the
brain bad lost Its substance ; and no moisture appeared in any
saber part of the %Olin, as far as we could me, excepting at the
beck an of the neck and bead.

St. Paul's Churchyard, Fleet-street, Strand, Pall-
mall, St. James's-street, Piccadilly, and Knightsbridge.

Address to her Royal Highness the Princess of

against her life and character.

The fortress of Czentokas surrendered on the 4th
instant to a Russian force commanded by Lieutenant.
General the Baron Von Sackett, after the batteries
had been opened two days. The artillery was so
well directed, that it speedily set fire to three of the
enemy's magazines, while the Bth and 29th regiments
of chasseurs kept the garrison so much in aide, that
they durst not spew themselyes on the walls of the
town. This part of the operation was under the di.
rection of Major-General the pount De Lieven. The
enemy at.first proposed terms that were inadmissible,
but itilerwards surrendered as prisoners o war.
