MRS. GARDNER, AURIST, from Lon , has the
honour respectfully to announce, that ' consequence
of the numerous applications which have be n made to her,
for an extension of the period to which sh had intended to
limit her stay in Liverpool, Mrs. G. has de arrangements
so that she may be consulted on all Dise es of the Ear for a
short time longer, at 75, RENSRAW-qT ET.

The success-which has attended h practice during the
last fourteen years, in various parts the United Kingdom
and on the Continent, having, by its innocence and efficacy,
insured her the confidence of the public and the patronage
of the Faculty (as attested by certificates both oral and do-
cumentary), any further comment on her part is unnecessary,
and she merely begs it to be borne in mind that, in cases
beyond the reach of art, her opinion may be obtained (per-
sonally) without the usual fee.

The late Dr. G.'s Treatise on the Anatomy, Physiology,
and Diseases of the Ear, may be had at her residence, as
usual.

Extract from the report of the East London Institution for

the Cure of Deafness :
" Upwards of 200 cases have been cured during the last
six months, and we have no hesitation in avowing that our
success may be mainly attributed to our having, in most
instances, discontinued the dangerous system of operating.
and our having adopted Mrs. Gardner's new mode of treat-
ment by external applications."

IMPOLICY AND CRUELTY OF NEGLECTING PUBLIC
HEALTB.—It is computed that half the deaths of the in-
habitants of the globe are produced by fever of various kinds
—the amount of intensity of this in a district will pretty ac-
curately indicate the condition of the air respired by its
inhabitants. I am aware that in localities where masses of
human beings are impacted—where no attention is paid to
ventilation—where decaying refuse or excrementitious matter
is allowed to accumulate (and that this is too frequently the
case, I shall take an early oppertunity of proving,) the in-
evitable result must be the deterioration of the surrounding
atmosphere. The deterioration having attained a certain
degree of intensity, leaves the evidences—the records of its
results in the pages of the historian—in the huge masses of
misery it has created—and in the wide-spreading desolation
it has occasioned. The magnitude of the result in London,
if that magnitude be estimated by the numbers attacked, is
not slight. From returns received from the Bethnal Green
and Whitechapel Unions, it appears that during the year 1834,
there occurred of fever cases—
In the Bethnal Green Union
In the Whitechapel Union

4,641
Thus it appears medical officers attached to these
two Unions alone have attended no less than 4,611 fever
But these returns include only the persons attacked
with fever, irho applied to the parish for relief. Fever, it it
notorious, has prevailed extensively in both these districts
among people above the rank of paupers, among people of
the middle class, and, in numerous instances, even in the
families of the tpealthy.—So extreme bas been the social dis-
order, and so abject is the poverty of some of the places
which are now the seats of disease, that great numbers of
the dwellings have been entirely abandoned by the lease-
holders. This statement affords a painful proof of the close,
the inseparable connection existing between physical agen-
cies producing disease, and their demoralising results.—
Though the power of mere circumstances can never be abso-
lute over a rational and responsible being—though we never
can be quite bereft of the means of making ourselves better
or worse ; still it is not to be denied that upon circumstances
depend the moral and social elevation cr depression of all
sorts and conditions of mankind in the mass. Let circum-
stances be favourable, virtue and happiness will prevail—let
them be adverse—vice and misery will abound.—Gatherings
from Grave Yards, by G. A. Walker, Surgeon.
FALLS OF TILE CoNwAv.—The sun was gently declin-
ing when I reached that point in the Holyhead-road, from
which I struck off across the fields to view the Falls of the
Conway. The ear of the wanderer is instructed of their
proximity by the noise of rushing waters, but the immediate
neighbourhood of this wonderful scene is more directly indi-
cated by a thin plantation of young timber, so widely dis-
persed as not to interrupt the growth of the green herbage,
and the pale primroses and gay wild flowers that everywhere
invite his attention. A narrow path winds down the decli-
vity amongst the trees, that thicken into a forest as he ap-
proaches the table rocks upon which he first pauses to con-
template a subject combining so many new features of the
sublime and beautiful. A vast circular opening in the high
lands, lined by perpendicular granite rocks, discloses a mag-
nificent hall, stupendous in height, and deepening into
almost impenetrable gloom. On each side rude masses of
rock project themselves, assuming something like architec-
tural shapes, and dividing at intervals the stern channelled
curtain of the gnlph, give to the whole the character of a
building formed by a giant hand, and moulded after some
-savage taste.- Two huge fragments, at the extreme height,
rear themselves like stern sentinels on opposite sides through
which the foaming cataract tumbles with headlong fury,giving
light and life to the supreme wildness and solitude of the
place. A capacious basin, hollowed by time and the cease-
less action of the elements, receives the boiling flood, which
here for a while stays its headlong fury, and becomes distri-
buted amongst numerous stony billows. Again the accumu-
lated waters overleap their barriers, and when they rush for-

LIVERPOOL (NEW) FISH COMPANY.
TN consequence of the favourable terms on whi • the Di-
rectors of the late Liverpool Fish Company ere autho-
rised, at the last meeting of the Shareholders, . sell the Fish
Hall, Fishing Smacks, and Stores, and t.. generally ex-
pressed regret at the dissolution of the la Company, and
the desire that a new Company might e med, by many of
the Members, the Gentlemen cotn • g the Provisional
Committee determined to purchase the •hole of the remain-
ing Property belonging to the late $?. mpany, consisting of
the FISH HALL, VAULTS, an. OFFICES connected
therewith, and FIFTEEN FIS NG SMACKS, with
FISHING TACKLE and STORES, and form a new
JOINT STOCK COMPANY for the same purposes for
which the late Company was established, and they have,
therefore, entered into a Contract with the Directors for such
purchase for the sum of X 6,790.

To show the very advantageous terms on which the Com-
mittee have made the purchase, it will be unnecessary to say
more than that the Purchase Money of the Vessels does not
amount to one-half of what they originally cost the late
Company, and the Fish Hall. Vaults, and Offices to little
more than two-thirds of the original cost; that the Boats
are well found in Stores, most of them in very good condi-
tion, and may be seat to the Fishing Grounds at a very tri-
fling expense.

The Committee propose that the new Company shall be
called " The Liverpool Fish Company." The Capital of
the Company to consist of 700 Shares of £l2 each, £lO of
which shall be immediately paid up, and the Company be
considered as formed as soon as two-thirds of the Shares
are taken and £lO per Share paid thereon.
Nearly 200 of the Shares have been taken by Shareholders
in the late Company, and the £lO per Share paid. The
remainder of the Shares will be allotted to such parties as
may apply for Shales before the 30th November instant.
Printed Prospectuses. with the ❑ames of the Provisional
Committee, and further information may be obtained, on
and after Tuts DAy, at the Fish Hall, Murray-street, where
applications for Shares are to be sent, addressed to the Chair-
man of the Provisional Committee.

On Sunday the King's Head public-house, in Eastchean
was surrounded by a larger concourse of persons t'
sembled there since the time that elapsed between the corn
mittal of the murder and the holding of the coroner's inquest
on the late Mr. James Burdon. The re. excitement was pro-
duced in consequence of its becoming generally known that
Mrs. Sarah Blakesley, the unfortunate widow of the mau who
expiated his offence in front of Newgate on Monday morning
last, had expired. The unhappy woman's death makes the
fourth life that has fallen a sacrifice to this domestic tracedy,
viz., Mr. Burd Mri. Blakesley and her male c:,.
whom she was prematurely delivered, and the author of th
dire catastrophe, Robert-Blakesley.
Mrs.

.han has as-

Blakesley, his widow, was in the 25th year of her
age, and was the daughter of a Mr. Atkins, who for several
years carried on the trade of a respectable livery-stable
keeper. She was formerly in the service of Lord Surrey,
and quitted her situation to assist her sister and Mr. Burdon
in the public business. Blakesley's first acquaintance with
her arose out of his occasionally visiting the King's head
with some gentlemen connected with the Corn-Exchange. An
intimacy sprung up between them about 12 months since, and
it is said that a very strong attachment existed between
them. It is already known that Blakesley, a few minutes
before he left the condemned cell for the last time, declared
that it was his intention to have murdered his wife, but no
explanation of his fatal purpose has been. hitherto conveyed
to the public. The only declaration he made in this respect
was to the Ordinary of Newgate, to whom he stated that it
was his determination, as they could not live together, " to
die at the same time," adding, that at the time and before
his commission of the offence it was his full conviction be
would be executed.

From all the inquiries that the reporter has made, it ap-
pears to he untrue that the intelligence of her husband's
execution was made known to her, but she informed her
medical attendant a few days before the extreme sentence
of the law was carried out that she dreamt of her husband's
ignomihious death.

Mrs. Blakesley expired on Thursday last, and on Saturday
an inquest was held on the body, when the surgeon stated
that the deceased did not die from miscarriage though it was
consequent upon the wound. If she had not been stabbed,
he said, it was not likely she would have miscarried. After
some further evidence, the jury without hesitation returned
a verdict of wilful murder against Robert Blakesley.
Mr. Burdon, it is stated, gave £3OOO for the purchase of
the lease of the King's Head, Eastcheap, and since the mur-
der several persons have offered, under the impression that
Mrs. Burdon would leave the house, an increased premium
of from £5OO to £lOOO ; but she has stated, in answer to the
inquiries of the ward beadle, that it is her intention to carry
on the business, and for that purpose to apply to the
licensing aldermen for a renewal of the licence on the next
licensing day.
