other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the

tended with the least danger or inconvenience, and hundreds
have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was
first introduced.

Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow-
mg testimonials :

Well-street, Cripplegate.
Sin,—l have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my 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 me-
dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this (lay confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis-
appear ; in a week I was capable of walking about my room,
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi-
cine was enabled to leave Loodon. Fearful of another attack,
you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant, D. W. STONE.

"SlR,—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
compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and whose case was considered en-
tirely 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, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam
very happy in being able to add 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,
nd, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my
life. To those, however 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 have yielded to this Medicine.
Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to
i hose who are deprived, none feels t so severely as the trades.
man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and
brings 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 am, Sir, yours truly,
GEORGE POLLARD.

Sin,—l feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer-
ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in
the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to
try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after
three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al-
though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder.
—I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES.

CONCERT HALL, LORD NELSON.STREET.—Last night
Mr. Dempster (from America) appeared at this place of
amusement, and gave great delight to his audience. He
introduced his songs by historical reminiscences, highly
interesting, and his sineing throughout was most spirited
and pathetic. It would be injustice to Mr. Dempster
not to state, that we had not (owing to the municipal
election) an opportunity of hearing the first songs of the
evening; but judging from those which we did hear, we
have no hesitation in expressing our opinion that Mr.
Dempster is a gentleman of high taste and talent as a
musician. He possesses vocal powers of a high order, and
dashes into his performances (including his own music)
with a degree of pathos which is rarely attainable. We have
not space to enumerate the several songs ; but we were
much struck by many of them, and especially " The
Blind Boy," and the "Emerald Isle." Mr. Dempster is
a splendid pianist, and wants no orchestra to help him out.
He is equally at home in every department of melody, and
the music is exclusively his own. " I'm alone" was
beautifully and pathetically sung. The last piece, repre-
senting the decline and death of a girl, was painfully
affecting. We are glad to find that Mr. Dempster will
again make his appearance at the same place to-morrow
evening. The old Scottish ballad of " Tak per auld
cloak aboot ye" was admirable, and will no doubt be
called for again.

BOY'S ART UNION.--The tickets are now being issued
for this excellent distribution of works of art; and it
is gratifying to find that a t,wnsman purchased during the
past week from Mr. J. R. Isaacs, the appointed agent, a
ticket, which tw ned out to be the celebrated prize Car-
toon, " The First Trial by Jury," to which government
as an acknowledgement of its merit, awarded a prize of
300 guineas. It was drawn by " Cope," R.A., and is
valued at £l5O.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The principal performer at
this theatre during the past week was Mr. Charles Kemble
Mason, nephew of the celebrated Kemble. His acting is
unquestionably the most extraordinary we ever witnessed.
Mr. Mason has studied in a school perfectly new. He is
not a copyist of the good or bad qualities either of the
living or the dead, but in action, manner. and dress is
quite original. It is said he intends to make his appear.
ance in London, and there, as the appetite for novelty is
insatiable, it is not improbable that he may at least create
a sensation. The new ballet of " Christine" and the
Ethiopian Delineators have been the other attractions
during the week.
TRADE WITH THE EAST.—By the comparative state-
ment of British tonnage entered outwards and inwards
to and from India, in the first nine months of this year,
as made up by Mr. Spikeman, it appears that the out-
ward entries from London were 182,762 tons, against
174,684 in 1845, and from Liverpool 87,854 tons, against
101,282 in 1845 ; the entries inwards to London were
210,228 tons, against 203,312 in 1845, and to Liverpool
70,416 tons, against 65,071 in 1845. It further appears,
that the outward entries to China this year were,—from
London 8,045 tons, and from Liverpool 16,655, while the
entries inwards were 22,283 tons into London, and 14,775
into Liverpool. The total entries outwards to India,
from ports in Great Britain, were 324,637 tons in 1846,
end 322,988 in 18-15, and the total entries inwards 296,962
tons in 1846, and 277,791 in 1845. •

champagne was to be the forfeit. In a few minutes a
piece of music was produced, and handed to Haydn, with
a bantering boast from Mozart, " There, sir, is a compo-
sition which you cannot play and I can." Haydn sat
down to the instrument, surprised at the simylicity of the
music that was to puzzle him ; but when be bad got half
way through it he suddenly stopped, saying, " How's this
Mozart? how's this? You've got tray bands stretched
out to the ends of the pitinia, and yet there's a middle key
to be touched ? Nobody can play such music as this."
Mozart, laughing at Haydn's perplexity and anger, took
the abandoned seat, and began. Running through the
easy passages, he came to the difficulty which his
friend found insuperable; and, bobbing his head, struck
his key with his very long nose, and was at the end of the
composition in a trice. Haydn, with whom such a feat
was a physical impossibility, *burst into a roar of laugh-
ter, and confessed that nature bad endowed Mozart with
a capacity for music which he (Haydn) bad never before
discovered. and to which he could lay no claim. The for-
feit was cheerfully paid.
• THE LATE DUKE OF RICHMOND.—in the forthcoming
work by Sir F. B. Head, entitled " The Emigrant," the
hon. bart. relates some deeply interesting circumstances
connected with the melancholy death of the Duke of Rich-
mond, in 1819, from the effects of hydrophobia. It is
evident, from what is here stated, that be himself was
aware of, but endeavoured studiously to conceal from those
who were around him, the dreadful nature of his malady,
and for several days he succeeded, until, at last, one of his
suite exclaimed, " By Heavens. gentlemen, the Duke of
Richmond has the hydrophobia!" Pe was on his return
from Niagara to Quebec, when the fatal symptoms first
disclosed themselves; and died in a tent by the road side,
calm and resigned, expressing to those around him, "that
his greatest earthly consolation was that his title and name
would be inherited by a son of whose character he de.
clared be entertained the highest opinion and confidence."
While the fatal secret was, as it were, in his own keeping,
be remarked to one of his party, " You know,
am in general not afraid of a glass of wine, yet you will see
with what difficulty I shall drink it." During dinner the
Puke asked this officer to take wine with him, and it was
evident that from some unaccountable reason it required
the utmost resolution and effort on his part to bring the
glass to his lips. Early next morning be was found
calmly finishing a letter to a member of his family, which
be sealed and then delivered to Colonel —, with a de.
sire that it might be delivered at Montreal, a request at
the time utterly incomprehensible. Colonel ---, on re-
ceiving this letter, naturally enough observed, that they
°honld all proceed there together; on whicli the Duke
mildly but firmly observed, " /t is no use deceiving von,
I shall saver go down there alive."
