THE EASTERN DISPENSARY.
AT a SPECIAL MEETING of the COMMITTEE
of the EASTERN DISPENSARY, held on the
14th instant,
The Rev. FIELDING OULD in the Chair ;
The Treasurer having called their attention to the state
of the Finances, by which it appeared that the debts due
from that Institution at the end of the current year would
amount to upwards of £6OO,
It was Resolved,—That an Appeal be made to the Pub-
lic, with a view of obtaining their assistance to liquidate
this heavy claim.
The following statement of facts is, therefore, submit-
ted to the consideration of the Inhabitants of this Town :
That the number of Patients who have received Medical
Advice and Medicines at this Dispensary, from the year
1839 to the present time, are upwards of 30,000, at the
cost only of about £2OOO, which sum includes the above-
mentioned debt, at the small sum of Is. sd. per head.
The expenses of every sort have been reduced to the
very lowest amount consistent with the necessary wants
of the Patients ; and unless the debt can be cleared off
and the subscriptions incre.ised to upwards of £3OO, the
Committee must be under the painful necessity of closing
the Dispensary, to the great loss and discomfiture of the
Sick Poor in the densely popul.ated district in which it is
situated.
It is necessary to observe, that this Institution was.not
established in opposition to the other Dispensaries, but to
co-operate with them in their charitable view of enabling
the Sick Poor to get Medical Advice and Medicines,
who otherwise would be compelled to go from the centre
of the Town to the North or South Dispensary, which
generally lost them a whole day.
Subscriptions and donations will be thankfully received
by the Treasurer, the Members of the Committee, at the
Dispensary, and at the different Newspaper offices.

Honorary Secretary and Treasurer.

.....,Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr.
Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by
Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was com-
pelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his commit-
ing any violence, and whose case was considered entirely hopeless,
I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of
the truth of my information, encouraged me to make a trial of your
most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, hav-
ing been many years so severe a sufferer, and tried many said to be
very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able in adding
my testimony of the benefit I derived • after a few days' application
the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to
attend my business, and, making an allowance for my age. never
vas better in my life. To those, hoe ever severely afflicted and
hopeless their case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to
make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use
of their limbs, from the severe cases that leave yielded to this Me-
dicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but
to those who are deprived, none feels it so severe as the tradesman
or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and ruin on
families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to
those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am for my restoration, and

Stß,—l have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout ens
Rheumatism, not a part from my head to feet free from pain, and
as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this
unpleasant situation I was informed by my medical attendant Le

in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I migh
have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close application
of four days, my troublesome companion began to disappear; in a
week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another
week's perseverance in the use of your Medicine was enabled to
leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send
six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

=ANOTHER TIPPERARY MURDER.—A poor man named
Molowney, in the parish of Drom, near Templemore,
took some lsnd, which had been evicted, or in dispute, 15
years ago, and had been in possession of it ever since.
The provincial executive, however, being under the im-
pression that the `existing laws' had no power to check
their course of legislation, sent some fellows about six
months ago to give Molowney warning to quit. They
then attacked him, and drove him off his own land. This
warning not producing the desired effect, on last Sunday,
the day generally selected for deeds of blood, four men,
two of whom were armed, entered his house after dusk,
and beat the unfortunate man to such an extent, that his
death ensued in about 21 hours after. Ile was a cripple,
and could make no resistance.—Nenaph Guardian.

a large arrival of Oats, and many vessels coming on demurrage,
sales have been made at a reduction of is per qr. from this day

se'nnight. •
SMITHFIELD MARKET—YESTERDAY.
At the outports about 90 beasts and 150 sheep have come to
hand from Holland. From our own grazing districts, the arri-
vals of beasts fresh up th's morning were large, even the time
of year considered, arid of full average quality, especially as re-
lates to those from the western counties. As was the case on
this day se'nnight the attendance of buyers was numerous,
owing to which the beef trade was steady, and last week's quo-
tations were well supported.
The no, thern drovers comprised 1800 shorthorns; those from
the western and midland districts 800 Herefords. Devens, runts,
&c.; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; from
Ireland, 200 beasts, and from Scotland, 100 Scots.
The supply of sheep exhibited a slight falling off. Prime Al
Downs sold readily, at very full prices, viz., from 4s 10d to 5s
per 8 lb., but all other breeds were a slow inquiry, at barely sta-
tionary figures. In calves only a limited business was transacted.
In prices we can notice no alteration. Although the number of
pigs was good, the pork trade ruled firm at late rates.
PRICES OF STOCKS, &c.— YysTFFDAy.
For transfer to-morrow Consols have touched 941 to 95. Time
bargains have been made at 95 to 951. The better tone of the Ame-
rican advices received on Saturday has imparted firmness to the
market, but it remains to be seen, whether a fresh supply of stock
will be brought to sale every time a rally occurs. The Reduced 3
per Cents have realised 933 to 93/-, and the New 3i per Cents. 951
to 951. The premium on Exchequer Bills has been rather flat at
19s. to 21s. On the East India Bonds under £l,OOO, it is 385.
There have been no bargains in Bank Stock.
The Foreign investments have been less heavy, and the quota-
tions have in some cases improved a little, although the trans-
actions are not imrortal•t. Spanish Five per Cents have been
271 for money. and 271 for account ; the Three per Cents are
362 to 37i. Portuguese Four per Cents are marked 57. Mexi-
can Stock has alternated from 304 to 31. The Deferred were
at 16-i. Dutch Two and a half per Cents have been at 58i.
LONDON SHARE MARKET—YESTERDAY.
• The railway companies which have succeeded in depositing their
plans are much more numerous than was expected, but no doubt
exists that in many cases the drawings, &c., will be imperfect. The
dispute between the Brighton and Croydon companies excites a good
deal of attention, but the shares of the former have advanced. The
current quotations have been 594 to 602. Croydon are steady at
18 to 183. Great Western shares have touched 142 and 143, Lir-
mingham are quiet at 207, Trent Valley have improved to 14 and

following Testimonials : told her that she hated the child and would do her some
harm. On Wednesday she watched the opportunity
when the schoolmistress was gone to her tea, and stole
into her room, where she procured the key of the gate
leading to the kitchen, which she opened and went out;
she shortly afterwards returned with a pail which she had
partly filled from a copper of boiling tea, and placed it on
a stool; she then took one of the children and attempted
to place it in the boiling liquid, but it got away from her;
she then seized her innocent victim, and, pulling off its
shoes and stockings. placed it in the pail, and is order to
stifle its cries, she forced a leather ball into its mouth,
at the same time pressing its knees so as to prevent
the withdrawing of the feet from the horrible tor-
ture it was enduring. Mr. P. W. Jacob, the sur-
geon of the union, described the injuries the poor
child had received ; ho said he found both her feet severeiy
scalded ; the skin of the sole of the right foot had come off
in one piece, and that on the left was very loose. He
thought there would be a contraction and deformity of the
feet, and, on account of the constitutional disturbance and
depression arising from the severity of the scalding, he did
not consider her out of danger. The prisoner, who is illegi
timate, was formerly in the old workhouse at Strood, and
when the union was formed she was removed to that esta-
blishment. In 1543 she was taken out by parties said to be
her parents, but in August last she was again found at the
gate of the union workhouse, where she said she had been
left by a woman named Phillips, her mother having run
away. She admitted the offence, and told an improbable
story of having assisted her father in skinning cats after
they were worried by dogs and put in hot water, and said
that her father and mother had threatuned to kill her if
she did not scald the child. She was committed to
Maidstone gaol for trial at the next quarter sessions for
Rochester.
THE GAMBLER'S CAREER.—The Emperor Alexander
does not appear to have been so tolerant of play as his
brother Nicholas. M. de la Garde's book contains many
proofs of this. But the imperial displeasure seems to
have been disregarded, or risked to be repented of too
late. We read here of noblemen losing millions upon
millions of roubles in one night ; of others reduced from
their high estate to become absolute beggars ; friend not
only plays with friend, but premeditatedly robs him too.
The course of " Riley of Bath" is one not at all unsuited
to our pages. The career of such a professor is a homily
against his profession, and never had career so pointed a
moral as his. But we are compelled, reluctantly, to give
way to those who have better claim to the attention of
our readers. Let it suffice to say, that Riley lived a life
of the most gorgeous luxury and extravagance—that he
was the companion of sovereigns—that he squandered
money with a profusion amounting to insanity, and won
it by a good fortune that seemed connected with the su-
pernatural ; nor was he free from generous and daring
sentiments. Ile, on one occasion, risked an entire fortune
on the hazard of the die, against a Russian estate, the
slaves on which he was desirous of restoring to freedom.
He succeeded in his attempt, and accomplished his de-
sire. Subsequently he ran a brief course of dazzling
splendour : he lived in palaces, continued to play, became
unlucky, and found fortune, wealth, and friends desert
him. At length, the once possessor of millions was seen
wandering through the streets of London, naked, fa-
mished, and penniless; and finally, he who had feasted
emperors, and fared sumptuously every day, died of ab-
solute starvation in one of the miserable alleys of our
great metropolis. Such is the course of a gamester 1—
