WARRINGTON REGATTA.

Thursday last being the day fixed for the usual annual
regatta at Warrington, the town, from an early hour in
the morning, presented a lively and bustling appearance,
and the ir.flux of strangers, despite of the weather, which
was exceedingly unpropitious, and showed no indication
of being favourable, gave the whole affair an air of gaiety.
The river, too, which was swollen by the rain—that had
added beauty to the lovely green country and picturesque
woodlands that adorn its banks—partook of the animation
of the town. Boats of almost every class—from the trim-
built skiff to the yacht, were gliding o'er its waters—
some propelled by oars, and others under a press of sail,
which, whether going " on-a-wind" or "free," were
managed in a way that says no little for the skill of the
lovers of aquatic sports in that neighbourhood. The
whole amusements were gqt up excellently, and consider-
ing
the damp that had been thrown on them by the recent
lamentable accident at Liverpool, which prevented the
attendance of either Chester, Liverpool, or Dublin boats,
they went off with great eclat. An excellent stand was
erected at a place called Arpley, on the banks of the river,
and numerous tents were pitched in its vicinity to pro-
vide refreshments. Two excellent bands were engaged,
which played alternately and together throughout the day.
Punctually at the appointed time, twelve o'clock, the
boats prepared to start. A line was extended across the
river, to which, at convenient distances, hand ropes were
attached, and to these the coxswains held till the signal to
" go" was giyen. The following is the result of the con-
tests :

The WATERNIEN'S PRIZE, for four-oared boats, not ex-
ceeding 23 feet keel. First boat, £5 ; second, £l.

PUBLIC TRIAL OF

MILNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING SAFES,
by permission of the Mayor and Authorities, who
requested Mr. Rose to superintend the proceedings :
" Clarence-street Police Yard, Manchester,
July 31, 1844.
" I.—Milner's Double 21 Inch Chamber or Banker's
Safe, was in a strong fire made of wood and coal ten hours.
During the progress it was taken out of the fire twice, the
papers examined, which were found to be uninjured, and
appeared to be damp with steam.
" ll.—Double 11 Inch Chamber Safe, was in a similar
fire seven hours, and when examined the papers appeared
as above.

"*III.—Two Inch Chamber Safe No. 1, was placed in
a similar fire two and a half hours, and after taking it out,
the papers were examined and found to be uninjured.
" fIV.—E. Deed Box 14 Inch Chamber, was placed in
a similar fire one hour, and after it was taken out the pa-
pers were examined and found as above, except a few at
the top being discoloured.
" I certify that I witnessed the whole proceedings of
testing the above Messrs. Milner and Son's PATENT
FIRE-RESISTING SAFES this day, and it is my opinion,
they are superior in resisting fire to any other invention
for Deed and Book Safes that I have yet seen tested.
" Signed,
" WILLIAM ROSE, Superintendent Fire Brigade."

*lll.—Beside the No. 1 Safe in the same fire, and on
the side least likely to become hot, was placed an Iron
Bookcase of to I inch thick. As the fire became red
hot, the iron dry Bookcase and contents became red hot,
whilst the chamber of our safe, pervaded with fluid and
steam at or under the boiling point, rejected the fire as
the other absorbed it. One, when opened, was full of
cinders; the other of steamed paper uninjured.
THOMAS MILNER and SON.

tlV.—Some interested and prejudiced parties having
suggested that the Boxes made to test, and those made to
sell, might not be the same, they went and purchased one
from Messrs. LorE and BARTON, in Market-street, of
1.1 inch chamber, which was tested for the same time, and
more severely than the one described in the fourth trial—
and was equally perfect when opened. The same parties
had previously obtained a small portable Deed Box, of
the weakest chamber, and, as they stated, managed to
destroy its properties at the bottom, over a smith's
hearth, so as to have charred some of the papers next the
bottom, at which were present several dealers in Iron
Safes.

TAND H. SMITH'S FLUID EXTRACT OF
. SENNA, prepared in Vacuo, sold in Bottles at
2s. 6d., 55., and 10s. each. _

This is a pure Extract of Senna, in a high state of
perfection, prepared in Vacuo. It is an efficient and
easy purgative, in small doses ; those for adults even
seldom exeeeding one or two teaspoonfulls, and produces
no sickness or griping in its operation. Not only are the
nauseous taste and smell corrected, but the taste is ren-
dered positively agreeable and inviting ; consequently,
with this preparation, the difficulty attending the giving
of Senna to children is entirely removed. Instead of the
loathing which the bulky dose of the ordinary Senna Tea
produces, the Fluid Extract of Senna is taken by them
with the greatest readiness, and even with a relish.
The following complimentary testimonial has been vo-
luntarily published by Dr. Christison, the distinguished
Professor of Materia Medica in the Edinburgh University :
" The Fluid Extract of Senna is now used very largely
in this city, (Edinburgh,) and by many medical practi-
tioners, as well as myself, almost to the exclusion of every
other preparation. I have no doubt it is the best form, in
every respect, which has yet been proposed."
Observe, the actual signature of the Inventors, on an
engraved label, is attached to the wrapper on each Bottle.
Prepared only by T. and H. SMITH, Chemists, 21,
Duke-street, Edinburgh; and sold Wholesale by JOHN
CLERK, 30, Mersey-street, Liverpool ; BARCLAY and
SONS, Forringdon-street, London ; and may be had retail

SPO R TING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES, TUESDAY, JULY 30.

These fashionably-attended races commenced on Tues-
day last, and presented a fair display of rank, elegance,
and fashion; the inclosure was exclusively occupied by
those immediately interested in the proceedings of the
day ; but the attendance in other respects was not so
large as might have been expected from the nature of the
attractions, owing, no doubt, to the unfavourable state of
the weather. The running was first-rate.

The WARRINGTON CUP, value £2O, did not fill.

The stewards were Mr. Henry Stanton and Mr. Marsh,
and Mr. Steel, in a most able manner, acted as judge.
The whole affair, considering the weather, went off well;
and the great contention for the prizes, and theuniversally
kind feeling manifested by the several crews, argues well
for the promotion of this fine recreation another year.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY.

In reply to a question by the Marquis of CLANRICARDE
respecting Tahiti,
The E,,rl of ABERDEEN said, undoubtedly gross out-
rages had been committed in that island against the per-
son of a British subject, but, he was satisfied, without the
instruction or knowledge of the French government, who,
he believed, regretted the matter as much as he did. Pro-
per representations had been made, and there was no dan-
ger of a misunderstanding on the subject.
Lord KINNAIRD inquired whether Queen Pomare bad
been restored since the first outbreak, and if so, whether
the consul had not been restored , lso ?
The Earl of ABERDEEN said it was very difficult to say
what was then doing at the antipodes, but he had reason
to believe that by the present time Queen Pomare had
been restored, though only in a qualified manner.
The Earl of DALHOUSIE moved the order of the day
for going into committee on the Railway Bill, and stated
its policy and provisions.
On going into committee, the Bishop of LICHFIELD
gave notice that it was the intention of the Bishop of Lon-
don, on the third reading, to move an alteration which
would have the effect of preventing travelling on Sunday
and Good Friday.
The bill passed through committee.
On the third reading of the Law Courts (Ireland) Bill,
the LORD CHANCELLOR strongly objected to the 7th
clause, respecting the appointment of officers by the Lord-
Lieutenant, and maintained that by common law it was
right, as on all considerations it was expedient, the
judges in the respective courts should appoint their own
officers.
Lord CAMPBELL having moved an amendment in con-
formity with the Lord Chancellor's observations,
Lord WHARNCLIFFE said he could not understand the
united authority of his noble and learned friends.
The debate was adjourned to afford time for considera-
tion.
The Poor-law Amendment Bill was read a second time,
and ordered to be committed on Monday.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY.
The Savings Banks Bill was read a third time and
passed ; and the Marriages (Ireland) Bill went through
committee.
The house was then occupied for several hours in com-
mittee on the Charitable Donations and Bequests (Ireland)
Bill. Nineteen clauses having been agreed to, the chair-
man reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again
the following day.
For the convenience of the house, SirJAMEs GRAHAM
stated that he proposed to take the third reading of the
bill on Monday.

The Merchant Seamen Bill was read a third time and
passed.
The Debtor and Creditor Bill, and the Transfer of
Property Bill, were severally read a second time.
The house rose early.

Copy of a letter from Wm. Wilson, Esq.,
Clifton, near York.
" Clifton, York, Feb. 5, 1844.
" Sir,—lt is with the greatest pleasure that I inform
you with what success Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills
have effected' a cure in me. For many months I have had
the Rheumatism ; and, in spite of all I could do, I was
not able to obtain the least relief, until a friend recom-
mended to me Blair's Pills, which, after a few trials,
effected a complete cure.
" You are at liberty to use my name if it will be of any
service to you. " Your's truly,
" WILLIAM WILSON."
The above recent testimonial is a further proof of the
great efficacy of this valuable medicine, which is the only
effective remedy for Gout, Rheumatism, Sciataca, Lum-
bago, Tic Doloroux, Pains in the Head and Face, often
mistaken for tooth-ache, and for all Gouty and Rheumatic
Tendencies.
It is also gratifying to have permission to refer to the
following gentlemen, selected from a multitude of others, '
whose station in society has contributed to advance this
popular medicine in public esteem :—J. R. Mandall, Esq.,

alone amounts to 2s. 2id. per lb., must convince all
thinking persons that much which is offered to the public

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY.

-- -
The Earl of RADNOR, adverting to the petitions which
were presented a few evenings ago in the House of Com-
mons, complaining that the parties who had signed those
petitions had had their letters opened at the Post-office,
expressed his surprise at this power having been so re-
cently exercised, and contended that no ground existed
for such a stretch of authority. He was inclined to say
that such a power ought not to exist ; but if it did exist,
be thought it ought to be exercised under responsibility.
He should take that opportunity of moving for a return
of the number of letters which had been opened at the
Post-office since January, 1844. He would also take
that opportunity of asking for some explanation as to the
arrest of the Count Ostrowski, who had been forcibly
taken from his lodging on a vague charge being made
against him. He (the Earl of Radnor) contended that
this arrest had been made contrary to law, and if this
gentleman had killed one of the parties who came into
bis room he would have been perfectly exculpated in the
eye of the law.
The Duke Of WELLINGTON said that if the noble lord
had looked into the statute-book he would have found
that the power of opening letters by the Secretary of
State had been exercised since the reign of Queen Anne ;
and the warrant which was necessary at the present time
was precisely in the same form as that which was re-
quired in the time of Queen Anne. If it should appear
that the Secretary of State bad abused this power, that
would be ground for inquiry ; but in the present instance
there was nothing of the sort; and therefore there was
no ground for the noble lord's motion. With respect to
the other matter alluded to by the noble lord, to say the
least of it, the person alluded to had acted in a most in-
discreet manner ; and if there bad been anything im-
proper in his arrest he had his remedy. It was a subject
for the consideration of a Court of law, and not for that
House.
Lord CAstrinet.r. thought the question of opening let-
ters under a warrant from the Secretary of State was a
question requiring the earnest consideration of their
'lordships. (Hear, hear.) He contended that the words
of the Act of Parliament, which gave the Secretary of
• State this power, provided that for every letter opened
there should be a separate warrant issued by the Secre-
tary of State under his hand and seal.
The motion was negatived without a division, and after
some other business their Lordship's adjourned.
