NO CHIROPODISTS ! ! ! NO CUTTING ! I !
CORNS AND BUNIONS.
AUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND is a sure and
P
speedy cure for those severe annoyances, without
causing the least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other
remedies for Corns, its operation is such as to render the
cutting of Corns altogether unnecessary : indeed, we may
say, the practice of cutting corns is at all times highly
dangerous, and has been frequently attended with lamen-
table consequeaces, besides its liability to increase their
growth. It adheres with the most gentle pressure, pro-
ducing an instant and delightful relief from torture, and,
with perseverance in its application, entirely eradicates
the most inveterate Corns and Bunions.

EXTRAORDINARY TESTIMONIALS.

From Dr. Cummins, Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence

at the Aldersgate School of Medicine.
Dr. Cummins presents his compliments to Mr. Paul,
and begs to inform him that his Every Man's Friend has
entirely taken away his Come, and he has recommended
it to several of his friends and patients, and in no one
instance has it failed in eradicating both Corns and
Bunions.
From Dr. Ley, Midwifery Lecturer at St. Bartholomew's

MR. GIBSON, THE SCULPTOR.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Slit,—The writer of a❑ article in a late number of the
Liverpool Courier properly lauds Mr. Gibson, the sculp-
tor ; but he is wanting in his facts, and falls short, in
some respects, in speaking of Mr. Gibson, who, by his
own exertions, has raised himself to distinction in his
profession.

Mr. Gibson's father was one of the warehousemen of
Messrs. Ewart, Rutson, and Co. ; be bound his son as an
apprentice to Messrs. Southwell and Wilson, cabinet
makers : whilst young Gibson was thus employed, being
acquainted with some of the young people in the employ
of Messrs. Franceys, the marble cutters, he was in the
habit of frequently passing his evenings in their workshop,
when Mr. Franceys, observing his juvenile efforts to
model, and being pleased with his manner, asked him
if he would like to learn their business, to which Gibson
is said to have replied that be would, but could not, as he
was then bound to Messrs. Southwell and Wilson ; in
consequence Mr. Franceys went to Mr. Southwell and
purchased his indenture, for which, it has been stated, he
gave a sum somewhere about £7O.

- The young man was thus introduced into a field better
suited to his taste and genius, where he rapidly advanced
in his acquirements: he was patronized by Mr. Roscoe
in particular; and, whilst under Mr. Franceys, was em..
ployed by Mr. Gladstone to execute a marble chimney..
piece, that was placed in a house, belonging to that
gentleman, in Rodney-street, and for which mantel-piece
Mr. Franceys received the sum of one hundred guinesa.
To have kept Mr. Gibson in Liverpool would have been
placing a light under a bushel, and a purse was made to
send him to finish his studies at Rome, to which Mr.
Roscoe, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Lawrence, and others con-
tributed, and particularly a young friend of Gibson's, who
was then an apprentice in the office of Messrs. Ewart,
Myers, and Co.—Mr. Duncan Milligan. Mr. Gibson
went to Rome in 1817, and remained in Italy until the
present year, following up his profession with great ability
and high reputation. Undeniable, however. as his merit
is in his profession, he is not without a rival,—Mr.
Macdonald, who is also a resident at Rome, being consi-
dered by many judges to be fully equal to Gibson in
single figures and groups, and his superior in the execu-
tion of busts.

There was in the Trafalgar•square Exhibition of this
season a spirited work of a high class, ropresenting a
hunter with his dog, executed by Gibson, for Mr. Henry
Sandbach, of Liverpool—and also a colossal statue of the
late Mr. Huskisson, understood to have been done at
Mrs. Huskisson's expense, and intended to be placed in
the long room of the Liverpool Custom-house, where it
will require a pedestal of considerable elevation to be seen
to advantage. The execution of this work does not ap-
pear to be a successful effort ; the llkeness has been pro-
nounced by some who were intimately acquainted with
Mr. Huskisson in his lifetime as inferior, and the attitude
and costume do not appear to be in good taste.
These defects are the more to be regretted, as in the
event of the statue of Mr. Canning, by Chantrey, being
removed from the Town. hall to the Custom-house,
(which has been suggested, as a building for which the
town was indebted to Mr. Canning's exertions,) the
striking power and talent displayed in the execution of
that work will probably lead to a comparison which is
likely to be unfavourable to the effort of Mr. Gibson.
A subscription was originated by Mr. Gladstone to have
a statue of his late friend, Mr. Kirkman Finlay, of Castle
Toward, executed in marble, and placed in the Exchange-
room of Glasgow, and for that purpose about £1,300 were
raised. I believe that Mr. G. with other subscribers, as
well as the family of Mr. Finlay, were desirous that this
work should have the advantage of being executed by
Mr. Steel, a highly talented sculptor, resident at Edin-
burgh, who is now employed at the equestrian statue of
the Duke of Wellington, and that of Sir Walter Scott,
both to be erected in Edinburgh ; but a portrait painter of
Glasgow, Mr. Graham, a friend of Mr. Gibson's, and
a subscriber of ten guineas to the fund, though opposed
by the Duke of Hamilton and other local subscribers, was
so industrious in his canvass for proxies and local support
that he succeeded in obtaining a majority of votes for em-
ploying Mr. Gibson, who is to execute the work at Rome,
as I have been informed, from a model sent or to be sent
to him, made or making by a young artist under Gra-
ham's superintendence. For the satisfaction and credit
of the subscribers I only hope that he may be more suc-
cessful than he has been in Mr. Huskisson's colossal
statue. For this work, when finished and delivered some
three years hence, Mr. Gibson is, I understand, to receive
the whole money subscribed. If there should be any-
thing incorrect in what I have stated in this letter, perhaps
Mr. Gibson, should he happen to see it, may take the
trouble to set me right; but, in justice to him and to
others, I shall be glad that you give this letter a place in
an early number of your paper.
I am, &c.,

although the prices quoted against The Cure, Red Deer,
Foig-a-ballagh, and Ugly Buck, were taken to a small
amount, the disposition to lay against them (the Buck in
particular) was general. Business on the whole was ex-

THE GREAT EBOR HANDICAP.

At the opening of the business the field appeared to have
the call of Franchise ; however, before the room broke up
vain were the attempts to get a pony invested on her at
evens. At this period 8 to 1 and bar two was freely
offered ; from the penchant yesterday and to-day for God-
frey, we think he would have been selected with the mare.
The following bets were accepted by one party on Pedo-
meter ; 400 to 10, 1000 to 25, and 750 to 25 last offers.

SECOND ESCAPE OF MR. Drce SOMRRE.-013 Tues-
day Mr. Dyce Sombre left his lodgings in the Haymarket,
followed, as usual, by one of his attendants, and pro-
ceeded in the direction of Piccadilly. Near, if not in,
the Burlington•arcade, he contrived to give his atten-
dant the slip, and he has not since been heard of,
although the most active measures have, doubtless, been
taken to discover his retreat.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—WEST CUMBER-
LAND.—During the last six weeks it may be said that the
clouds have literally dropped down fatness, and all kinds
of grain never looked so well. A good deal of Barley and
Oats are already cut, and another week will see us all in
the midst of harvest. Three or four weeks of fine weather
will see all in, and, as far as this district is concerned, far
above an average crop. For feeding cattle better weather
could not have been desired, and although the spring was
so dry that the early crops of bay were light, the second
crops and the after grass are exceedingly good, and the
weather lately not having been sultry, cattle have thriven
fast.

THE JUDGES.—On Sunday morning the Lord Chief
Baron, and Mr. Justice Cresswell attended Divine ser-
vice at St. George's Church. They proceeded from the

was densely crowded. Prayers were read by the Rev.
Mr. Monk, the curate assisting at the Communion ser-
vice. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Whit-
taker, from the 2nd chapter of the first Epistle general
of St. Peter and the latter part of the 17th verse :—" Fear
God : Honour the King." The discourse, which was of
a very elaborate and discursive nature, referring back to the
ecclesiastical and common laws in the first and second cen-
turies, and then coming down from the days of Constantine
to the monarchy and government under which we live at
present, was lucid in its composition, and argumentative
in its reasoning; and we believe the preacher had the
honour of being complimented by the Chief-Baron at the
conclusion of the service, on its research and appli-
cability,

SECOND EDITION.

Standard-q/fice, Ten o'clock.

Rumoured Occupation of Tangiers by
the French.

The Patrie, Paris journal, of Saturday evening, has the
following article :
" Rumours of the highest importance were circulated
to-day at the Bourse. It was said that the Prince de
Joinville had landed, and had taken possession of Tan-
giers, where the tri-coloured flag was waving at this pre-
sent moment.

" It was added, that the English Consul had home-
diately protested against this measure.
" The complication of these events, the strange silence
on the part of Government—all this had caused a real pa-
laic, which has produced a considerable fall in the prices
of public securities, the Three per Cents. falling 75 cen-
times and the Fives If. 10c.

" There are other reports mentioned, besides these. It
would appear that the King received the important news
we have just mentioned, last evening, at the moment he
was going to dinner, and the Ministers were instantly sent
for to meet in council, over which his Majesty presided.
After the council, extraordinary couriers were dispatched
in all directions.

" Finally, persons who pretend to be well informed as-
sert that Tangiers, immediately after the bombardment,
bad been pillaged, plundered, and laid waste by the Moors
themselves. Some exaggerations there may be in these
rumours; but public anxiety is extreme, and for the Go-
vernment to remain silent longer would be an unpardon-
able fault."

SUPPOSED PIRACY AND MURDER.—lntelligence has
been received from Dundee respecting the brig Hannah,
bound for Quebec, belonging to the former port, from
which strong suspicions are apprehended that the captain,
Mr. Lowther, was murdered by the crew, for the purpose
of possessing themselves of the vessel and cargo, but af-
terwards their plans were frustrated by the ship becoming
leaky.

REPEAL RENT.—The rent for the week ending yester-
day amounted to £ll2O.
