A CARD.

MESSRS. JOHNSON ani BURGESS (late JOIIN•
sow and Wituasts), Proprietors of the AMERICAN
SO(YPIIING SYRUP for Children cutting their Teeth, beg
leave to inform Mothers and Nurses that they have REMOVED
toNo.iin,Y ORK PLACE, CIT Y ROA 1) (from Newman-street,
Oxford-street), where the Business will be carried on in future.
The very high estimation in which this inestimable Medicine is
held by all classes niche cunimunity,renders it anneeessart to make
any comment on its virtues, more than recommend Mothers and
Nurses never to be without the" American Soothing Syrup" in
the Nursery, for if a child wakes in the night with pains in its gums,
this valuable Medicine applied, will immediately open the pores,
heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevers or convulsions; for
should it come in competition with any other disorder, it often
destroys the mother's brightest hope,.
To be had of the Proprietors, Johnson and Burgess, VI, York-
place, City-road ; andLlsy their appointment, of all the principal
Italicise Venders In Town sad Country, at So. 9d. per bottle.

On his cross-examination, Sir Thos. S. Champneys I
admitted, that for the last thirty years he had been
greatly embarrassed, and had endeavoured to raise
money by the usual means of discounting bills, at
most enormous sacrifices,buying timber, velvets, silks,
&c. and re-selling the property at great loss. He said
that, during this time, he had been the victim of all
the swindling money-lenders in town, upwards of
forty of whom he had in a list as scoundrels who
had been pecking at him, and endeavouring to obtain
his securities, tending to his utter ruin. He admitted
that, during this period, he had been raising money
by these means to the amount of £200,000.
This evidence was corroborated by several wit-
nesses, whose names he had mentioned as being pre-
sent at, or connected with the transactions which
he described. _ _

The defendant, Palmer, addressed the Jury on his
own part, And Mr. GURNEY on behalf of Park. The
topics addressed were, that there was nothing like a
conspiracy in the case, inasmuch as the prosecutor
was a man hacknied in the ways of the world, who
could not complain of having been deceived ; that
no fraud had been committed upon him, for that his
bills were mere waste paper; that he and his servant
Higgins were themselves conspiratory in drawing
and accepting bills to deceive the world ; and, in
short, that the defendants were the sufferers, who
had been deluded out of their money by the design-
ing ingenuity of the prosecutor.
ilr. Baron GRAHAM summed up the case with
strict impartiality ; and the Jury, after a short deli-
beration, found both the defendants Guilty.

Elm—Saturday morning, about half past twelve, an :larming
fire broke out in a house on the Canal Terrace Aberdeen, near
the Quay. On the alarm being given, one of the tenants had just
time to save two of his boys, who slkpt in an apartment here,
only a few minutes having elapsed when great part of th, roof
was in flames, and anon after fell in. The fire was, however,
confined to thePe two floors, and subdued in two hours, although
the valuable furniture in the next floor was greatly destroyed, by
throwing it from the window; while part of it was canted off
by some unfeeling wretches in the crowd assembled.
Tun RUSSIAN AMERICAN COMPANY.—A German
Paper states that this Comyany, the privileges cf
which have been recently confirmed by the Emperor
Alexander, is in a most flourishing state. It was esta-
blished by the Emperor Paul in 1797, and has ex-
tensive factories in Irkutck, Yakutsk, Ochotsk, and
Moscow, besides agencies in Kasan, Tomsk, and
Kamtschatka. The Company has also formed esta-
, blishments on the north-west coast of America, on
the Baranow Islands, at Kudjakun, and in the new
Russian colony of Koss, in Romantoff's Bay. Before
the existence of the Company, there were only some
private trading houses on the Aleutian and Kurile
Islands, amounting altogether to 44. In the course
of 54 years, from 1743 to 1797, these houses ex-
ported peltry to the amount of only 6,344,000 rubles.
On the contrary, the Company, from its establishment
in 1797 to 1818, only 21 years, exported from the
same Islands, peltry to the amount of more than
15,000,000, and have paid the station of Kiachta, on
the Chinese frontier, alone. The Company was
founded by shares, 8,000 of which were inscribed at
500 rubles each, but they are now worth mere than
600 rubles. An excellent port, called New Archangel,
has lately been formed by the Company on thenorth-
west coast of America, and more than 10,000 savages
of the Polar regions have been converted to Christi-
anity. The Company has allotted 57,000 rubles to
the building of an hospital on the island of Sitka.

- The Human Hair is an invaluable gift cf Nature;
it serves as ati elegant covering to the head. and enhances the
beauty of the " human face divine." Young Ladles and Cat.
tlemen are particularly advised to attend to the artanganent of
their Hair, and keep it in order, as the Hair,attaided to in youth,
is a sure preservative, and fixes a stamina for r beautiful Head
of Hair. This will inevitably be the case, by using liowisso's
%cassia On., which eradicates the scurf easy and pleasant,
prevents it falling off, or turning grey; ttrength*.ns the flair so
as to produce beautiful sowing curls, and the hair smooth-and
glossy. In fine. this Oil renders that inestimable ornament truly
elegant and beautiful; and is the only preparation that really pos-
sesses nutritious virtues for that purpose. Its inestimable vies
toes have gained it the pats silage of his Royal Highness the Dube
of 8 mei, their Imperial ?Asians% the Ignspecur and Rmpress

Judgment of the Court below affirmed.
Casatce, Appellant; MoiTIN, Respondent.
This was en appeal from the Court of Session (Scotland).
The Arroarszr-Gzusiuit. and Mr. ROIZILISON were beard for'

Further argument postponed. • -
The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Irish
Five per Cents. Bill, the Admiralty Quorum Bill, the Malt
Duties Repeal Bill, the Solicitors and Attornies' Regulation
Bill, and the Norfolk Jail Bill. The Commissioners were the
Loan CHANCILLOIL, Earl of SHAFTESBURY, and Lord Mammas.
The Dublin Fever Hospital Bill, and Stolen Goods Bill, were
read a third time and passed.
Lord REDESDALE presented a Petition from the Cheva-
lier Ruspini, praying for an amendment in the Bankrupt Laws,
by providing that no commission should issue unless the debt of
one petitioning creditor should amount to £lOO.
Isle. BROGDIM Ind other Members of the House of Commons
brought up the Innkeepers' Regulation Bill, and a Private Bill,
which were read a first time.
Lord MELVILLE moved, that the 7th, Bth, and Bth Re-
ports of the Commissioners to inquire into the Fees and Emolu-
ments of the (Xficers of the Courts of Justice in Scotland should
be laid before their Lordships.—Ordered.
AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.
Lord ERSKINE presented two Petitions, one from the
County of Gloucester, and another from Kent, complaining of
Agricultural Distress. He said he had hitherto abstained from
entering into any observations on the subject of the distresses so
univer.ally complained of, because he waited for the Report of
the Committee of the other House of Parliament. The Re-
port was at length produced, and in it was stated the causes of
the distress in question, which was an unlimited importation of
cora. Here the Noble and Learned Lord read an extract from
the Report, being that part which related to the great glut of
fbreign corn. The Report, no doubt, did most ably describe
the great danger which hung over the agricultural world; but
the remedy which the Report proposed was only an aggravation
of the evil, because they recommend the opening of the ports
when the price of corn was 70 shillings, whereas now they could
not be opened until the price was 80 shillings a quarter. He
hoped, therefore, that their Lordships would resist any Bill
that might come from the other House providing such a re-
medy as this.
The LORD CHANCELLOR here interposed, by observing,
that the Report of the Committee of the other [louse was ex-
pected, as a message had been sent for a copy of it. Tie Re-
port, however, had not yet been laid before that House, and
until it was, all observations en the subject must be irregular
and improper.—The Petitions were read and laid on the table.
Tit House then adjourned to Thursday, the 18th instant.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The Set:arse was summoned to the House of Lords, and, on
hlsivturn, announced that the Royal Assent was given by com-
mission to certain Bills ; for which see Lords report.
Mr. C. CALVERT presented a Petition from the Inhabit-
ants of the Borough of Southwark, within the jurisdiction of the
Court of Requests, complaining of excessive tees, and praying
that leave may be giv:-n to bring in a Bill to regulate the same.—
The Petition was ordered to be referred to a Committee to ex-
amine it and report thereon.
Mr. W ROT I'ESIPN moved for Returns of the number of
Country Bank-notes in circulati”n between the 10th of October,
1810, and the 10th of October, 1821 ; together with the number
of Stamps issued to Country Banker. during the same period.
The LORD ADVOCATE moved that the Bill to abolish
Commissariat Courts in Scotland be read a liras time.—Bead
a Just time.
