TEELING'S ANTISCORBUTIC OINTMENT.

THIS Ointment is an effectual remedy for even
species of Scorbutic Eruption—it is safe and efficacious—and,
as it contains ao Mineral Composition, may be administered with
perfect security to the most delicate constitution, or the tenderest
age. And be the Disease ever SO inveterate, the most bdoefscial
effects speedily result from the application.

To all F.ruptions on the Face, it may be applied with equal se•
curity and success, witbopt confinement, or the smallest inconve-
nience to the Patient—gentle in its operation, it progressively re-
moves. the Disease, reduces inflammation, and restores the skin
and complexion to their original softness and oaturai appearance.
Scrofula or King's Evil has been sensibly relieved by the applica-
tion of this Ointment, and though the Proprietor does not, in every
case, warrant an effectual Cure, he can, nevertheless, with confi-
dence recommend the application, having from frequent experience
' witnessed its salutary effects. La several instances, however, it has
effected a Cure of this dreadful Disease.

He invited the complainant and bee husband to a neighbouring

indelicate manner towards the complainant. Mrs. Stroud having
proceeded home, was followed by the detendant,•who attempted
to gsl admittance by force, when several persons hearing bre
cries, came to her assistance, and the gay Lothario offered her half
a-crown to settle the matter. The dekndatit said that he wo..td
not have gone to her house if he had not received rucotirrgototor.
Upon the recommendation of the Magistrate, the matter was settled

PHCENIX GAS LIGHT AND COKE COMPANY.

Yesterday a Meeting of the Shareholders of this
Company took plact! at the Three Tugs Tavern,
Southwark. The Report stated, that for the half year
ending December, 1825, the profits amounted to about
70001. a Furl) which would enable the Directors to pay
a dividend of 51. per cent. on each share. It was agreed
that this dividend should be paid after 23d February,
One of the DIRECTORS said, that they had ex eroded,
the Company's Associ .tions as far as Greenwiei. and
had vino-Trendy incurred a greater expense, oiler wise
the dividend would have been greater. It was now pro-
posed to lay down more pipes where they had not yet
been, and a call must be made of 31. on each Share.

Some conversation then followed respecting the ap-
poinzment of Inspectors, to [nevem the gas being
wasted; and the. Directors were also recommended to
ake great care that the value of the gas was not left
long unpaid, in order that persons so disposed might
not have an opportunity of quitting their premises
withoit making the payment. —The motion for the call
of 31. per Share was then carried.
A Prionttnron observed, that the Meeting could not
do otherwise than vote a SUM of money to the Directors
for their se: vices. lie considered that it would be ad-
visab'e to make them a regular annual remuneration.
A SHAILTROLDIM- The Company cannot afford it.
The PROPHIZTOR who suggested this measure said,
there were ten Directors under the Act of Parliament,
and he thought that 6001. a year was not too mach to
give those Gentlemen for their valuable services.
It was asked, whether all the Directors were in the
habit of irtending? He knew that one of them lived
at Cheltenham, and his services could surely be dis-
pensed with.
It was answered, that seven Directors attended the
Meeting s,which were held weekly, and the plan adopted
to secure their presence was, that those who came after
one o'clock should receive nothing for the day's labour.
Votes of thanks were given to the Dfrecsoirs and Auditors:
Alderman C. Shunt wbo PreAded as Quitman, in returning
thanks, said, he had been so long attached to the Company. be
considered it his own child.
The hisedng adjourned to July nest. •

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAL 25.

Elistgeth Pemberton came before the Court to obtain
her discharge. She stated that she was the widow of a
Clergyman. and since his death had endeavoured to
obtain a livelihood by keeping a boarding and lodging-
house. One of her lodgers was a conveyancer, and he
professed his readiness to assist her by every weans
in his power..on account of his being acquaintentrith
her late husband and hit family; she placed the utmost
confidence in him, lent hint sums of money on different
occasions. and in fact she entertained so good an opinion
of him, dist, until the amount he owed her exceeded
1421. she did not call upon him for payment. She bad
also accepted several bills for his accommodation, as )'e
faithfully promised to honour there', but he abruptly
left her house without discharging the debt of 1421.
and,leavitsg her liable for the bills of exchange. She
had not seen him since, but she had reason to believe
that he was in L-ndon a few dais ago. It appealed,
that since she bad been in %Vhitecross7street Prison, she
had received 371. from some humane Clergymen. She
was desired to account for the money, and insert it in
her schedule. When this amendment is made, she will
be discharged.
In the case of Henry Lynn an application was made
to take the proceedings off the files of the Court. The
insolvent was upwards of eighty years of age r his
friends had settled every demand upon him, and they
were desirous that the proceedings should be taken out
of C..urt, and that it might nut be said that he had
been discharged under the Insolvent Debtors Act.—
A rule nisi was granted.

The result may, therefore, be safely assumed to be,
that the Revenue during the present year will yield a
surplus of 714,5761. This sum is not very large, but it
is worth saving, and may be applied to useful purposes.
Our choice, however, is fiery limited on the present occa-
sion, through the circumstance to which I have before
alluded, respecting the redaction of the duty on tobacco.
When the parties concerned in that manufacture were
anxious to know what his Majesty's Government in-
tended to do with regard to the duty which had larci,
whether it would be revived on the sth of January, or
suffered to lie dormant, I replied, that I could give no
intimation till the pleasure of Parliament was-known.
But now I have no hesitation in saying, that it appears
to be incumbent upon us to continue the reduction. I
should greatly have preferred to carry this redaction
still further. I know it is very desirable in the actual
condition of the country ; but, I think, it would not be
prudent or expedient to do se at present. I art vary
much inclined to believe that great good has been pro•
duced by that reduction, small as it is. The effect has
seen material •in checking smuggling in Ireland, where
he practice of smuggling tobacco was carried to an
ace ,s, beyond all that imagination can conceive.—

The LORD MAYOR said, he could not think of granting gl War:

bably acted under the impression that he had a right to enter and
avail himself of the opportunity. as a partner In the concern.
The Solicitor said it had been done by persons who had assumed
wrong names, and had managed to deceive the servant who was in
care of the house. _

The Loan MAYOR said this was one of the consequences of thE
horrible and demoralising system of gambling, of which, he re-
gretted to say, he observed the strongest symptoms daily in the con

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A man named l'inceas Gni: Voles, a native of Switzerland, and
a butler in a family at the West end of the tows, was charged with
deserting his wife, Sarah Vodoz, a very pretty interesting young
woman, a native of Hampshire, and leaving her chargeable to the
parish of St. George's, Hanover.squate.
The defendant pleaded, that be was not liable to support this
woman, inasmuch as she was not his legal wife ; and each party was
supported by a Solicitor.
Mr. Wingfield, Solicitor for the young woman, stated that these
parties lived together in the service of a family that was travelling
in France in the year 1818, and while in that country they got
married at Marseilles, in the house of the British Consul there, by
the Rev. Thomas Laurence, an Irish Protestant Clergyman, and
Chaplain to the British Consulate. Mr. Wingfield here produced
a certificate of the marriage, dated the 13th May, 181 s, and
signed and sealed by the British Consul, and also signed by Mr.
Laurence; and this marriage, he contended, was a legal marriage
in this country.
Mr. Hitchcock, Solicitor for the husband, submitted that, to
make the marriage legal, according to English law, it shoeld have
been performed either in the house of the English Ambassador is
Paris, or else before a Magistrate of the district in France, where
marriage is considered as a civil contract, l•ut that a marriage is
the house of the Consul could not be considered valid ; and betides,
according to the " Code Napoleon," which is at present acted upon
in France, upon the subject of marriage, no marriage can be valid,
when the man, on entering into the contract, has not attained the
age of twenty-five years, and the present defendant was only '34
years of age when the marriage took place.
The Magistrate, however, decided in favour of the validity of
the marriage, and the claim of the wife to support.

ALEXANDER.

Autumn's pride is past and goes,
Yet gaily still Crimea's sun
Lights up her skies at even :
So bright his orb, declining, glows,
That e'en the half-clad serf bestows

One passing thought on Heaven!
Stretch'd on the bed of agony,
Now as the twilight hour draws nigh,

That summons him to rest, -
The arbiter of pease and war,
Emperor, Autocrat, and Czar,
His dying wish esprest !
" Air, air!" the gasping Monarch said,
And feebly raised his drooping head,
That he might see once more
Crimea% skies of cloudless blue,
And catch a last and lingering view -
Of Asoph's sea-beat shore !
Thou beard'st, imperial Taganrok,
The wailing voice, that faintly spoke
Of Death's consuming fever ;
The falt'ring accents of that tongue,
On which the fate of millions hung—
That voice has ceased for ever !
These winged words—this simple speech,
At such a moment wellmight teach
The Despot's meanest slave,
How small the difference of their lot.
When all his empire's worth could not
Bribe for one hour the grave!
Arid what is empire?—what is man ?
A noisome vault, a narrow span,

Confines that mighty King,
Whose will was eat supreme command,
From far K imtselatka's lonely strand,
To warlike Poland's plains of sand,
And Eneine's bowen of spring!
Nations peal his funeral knell!
The wild Cossack, with barbarous yell,
And ash-hesprinkled head—
Iletntan, Palatine, and Peer,
Warrior, and Sage, throng round his bier,
And sorrowing Europe drops a tear
O'er the illustrious dead !

If the principles of Legitimacy which are now so
much in fashion be limited to hereditary succession, in
the order of primogeniture, it is certain that there is no
country in Europe in which that rule h ►s been so little
observed as in Russia, even in modern times.

Tae law of succession seems to have depended on the
will of the reigning Emperor, influenced very mach by
the ordinary course of descent, but greatly modified by
the possession of power on the part of the intended suc-
cessor. During the short period in which the pre,ent

GERMAN PAPERS.

ODESSA, Sarrausia 5.
The patience of the Emperor with respect to the
Porte, is put to as severe a trial as that of his aooost
predecessor. Up to the slay before yesterday the Turkish
Commissioners had not given a satisfactory answer to
any of the questions in agitation. The Russian COM-
mis.ionedbave thereupon declared, according to their
instructions, that unless all the questions are satisfac-
torily answered by the 7th of October, the Russian army
will pass the Pruth. The Turkish Commissioners
immediately sent a Courier to Constantinople, with this
declaration.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Ave. ssi
The training of the new troops proceeds rapidly.
The system of terror which was introduced with the
reforms, is considerably moderated. Letters from
Smyrna now announce that Lord Cochrane has really
arrived in the Archipelago. The English Factory at
Smyrna is stated to have formally requested Commo.
dare Hamilton to protect the English trade if Cochrane
should attempt any thing against it. But the arrival
of Lord Cochrane seems to be a fable reported abroad
by the Greeks. The plague rages here more than ever.
Se►eral French and Jewish merchants are among the
latest victims. Every body longs for a diminution of
the dreadful heat, which seems to inct ease the contagion.
This scourge contributes not a little to the general stag-
nation of trade.
