MISCELLANEOUS. The Mayor of New York is showing up the parties who let on lease gambling houses and houses of ill fame, in order to let the world see who are the men that can complacently go to Church on Sunday and say that gam- bling is a bad thing," and yet lease their house for gambling and other equally bad purposes, and receive 2000 dollers per annum for houses which under other circum- stances would not rent for 500 dollers. This is a very admirable and desirable project. It will remove the veil that hides so much sanctimonious hypocrisy.—New York Paper. A decree of the King has indicated the religious orders of men and women which are to be suppressed in Pied- mont. The number is considerable; 334 monasteries will disappear; they contain a population of 5,598 persons Among these 289 were inhabited by 4,122 monks, and 45 by 1,473 nuns. In the orders atill paeserved there re- main 863 monks and 1,669 nuns. The members of the orders suppressed will continue to live in common, and each of them during life will receive pension net of 500f. MORTALITY IN SEBASTOPOL.—The Russians are still observed to be very busy about tbs grave-yards on the north side of the harbour. At the highest of three grave- fields-the term yards" is hardly appropriate, as they are not enclosed-as many as seven carts were observed to be standing at one time. Several parties have also been noticed making fresh graves. These observations tend to support the written evidence, said to have been discovered at Kertch, of the amount of disease and fata injuries prevailing in the garrison of Sebastopol. Tom Thumb, the celebrated little great man was mar- ried at Webster on Thursday last to Miss Vinton of Bridgeport Connecticnt.-Boston Herald. An exile, Alexander Herzen is about to publish a quarterly Russian review in London, as the organ of Revolutionary Russia. A pig got into a dwelling-house at Belfast, a few days since and attacked a little girl about four years old who had been left there alone. The savage animal bit off one of the child's ears and would no doubt have caused further injury had not a neighbouring woman arrived and prevented it. At the Middlesex Sessions, on Tuesday, the Company of Waterman, Wherrymen, and Lightermen, of the River Thames obtained a compensation of £3,120 from the Thames Tunnel Company, for the loss of the profits of the traffic through the opening of the Tunnel. Letters from Helsingfors of the 6th inst., describe the panic of the inhabitants as continuing unabated. Every one who had the means had left, or was preparing to follow. Horses, carts, carriages and waggons, were only to be had at almost fabulous prices. A proclama- tion had been published, ordering that on the approach of the enemy a red flag was to be hoisted on the top of the centre tower of the Observatory, and on the watch tower by day, and red lights at night. An Imperial ukase has been issued, ordering that bap- tized Jews, who have hitherto been exempted, shall furnish 30 recruits for every 1,000 souls to the Russian army. It is said that certain corn merchants of Birmingham and Gloucester have lost atBerdiansk 50,000 qrs. of wheat on which they reckoned to turn a pretty penny, having bought the lot at 13s. per qr., but the amount of which must now be reackoned a total loss, as the whole has been burnt or taken by the Allies. Mr. Justice Maule laid it down last week from the bench, that if not treason, this kind of intercourse with the Queens enemies was an in- dictable offence. Worcester Herald. A letter from Berlin states that, in addition to the Se- crelary of the English Consul at Cologne, fire other persons have been arrested in Prussia for enrolling men for the English Foreign Legion, and that very severe proceedings have been commenced against them. The Irish claim General Pelissier as the son of a countryman. It is said that his father was a Limerick gentleman, a Mr. Palisser, who was obliged to fly from Ireland during the troubles of 1798. The Russian prisoners at Lewes hiving conducted themselves properly since the recent disturbance, visitors are again permitted to see them, and purchase their toys, for the manufacture of which their knives have been returned to them. Advices from Oddessa give a deplorable account of the ruin and misery of many merchants in that town, town, their trade with the ports in the sea of Azoff having been totally destroyed by the successes of the Allies in that quarter. Men who a short time ago were wealthy, are now reduced to beggary, and are enduring the greatest possible privation. A street preacher has made his appearance in St. Louis U.S., announceing that he is the veritable Joe, raised from the dead. Will the Saints flock around his Standard ? We copy the following from an American raper:- "At Baltimore a marriage party from Washington, county of Maryland, having been poisoned by eating custard, in which arsenic had been placed. Some 25 of them were not expeeted to live, the bride among the number. The perpetrator of this diabolical act had not been discover- ed." The Greenock Advertiser mentions that there had pas- sed upon the Clyde, lately, so large a shoal of herrings that seveaal boats caught from 7,000 to 8,000 each and one boat captured 10,000 fish. A copy of Shakespere's plays, the only one known con- taining the two leaves which were cancelled in As Yale like it sold for £ 163 19s., the other day, at a London auction. An American was the purchaser. The foundation stone of a new Wesleyan chapel to be erected in the gothic style of architecture at a cost of £4,000 was laid at Haslenden last week. Paris alone spends £ 10,000 annually in rose buds. France even exports roses from the United States. A woman has been condemned by the Court of Assize Gireonde France to hard labour for life, for murdering her husband by mixing phosphorus with his food. A return has been issued showing the number of, receipt stamps sold or issued in England, Scotland, and Ireland. In the four quarters ending October last the number of penny receipt stamps issued was 62,320,803, and revenue was £ 259,670 0s. 3d. The penny draft stamp in the same period numbered 6,492,900, and the re- venue £27,053 15s. Only two quarters have expired since the adoption of the penny receipt and draught stamps, In the two quarters ended the 31st March last the number was 30,805,213, and the revenue £128,459 4s. 5d. In some parts of Peru hen's eggs are circulated as small coins, forty-eight or fifty being counted for a dollar. In the market places and shops the Indians make most; of their purchases with this brittle sort of money ? one will give two or three eggs for brandy, another for indigo, a third for cigars. It is no longer permitted to any Swede to visit Finland during the war. Some Swedish travellers were lately permitted to enter the Grand Duchy of Finland, but only on condition of engaging not to return to Sweden before the end of the war. The Cardiff new dock is to be opened on the 6th of July, we near-of course, accompanied by rejoicings of a public nature. The event is one of great importance, for the trade of the port suffers much in consequence of j insufficient dock accommodation. The supply of fish in the Sea of Azoff is inexhaustible, and will be a means of supplying the army with fish. There is, perhaps, no equal extent of water on the whole surface of the globe which abounds in fish as much as this sea. The Gyser and Archer have already taken twenty-four or twenty-five prizes in the Baltic, All laden with valuable cargoes of tallow, hemp, bristles &c. ¡ At the rate of the present advance, our population will be, in the year 1900, about fifty millions. ORNAMENTAL HAIR.-The human hair harvest of France-the following locks parted with reluctantly by females-amounts to: 100 tons a year, of which we import about 90 tons foj the use of our hair-workers for artificial tresses, braids, and wigs. GREEN PEAS are one of our best vegetables for the table ? but the usual way of serving them is not the best; for those who wish to retain their most useful qualities ? nor is it the most economical; for they contain much saccharine matter, together with many other vegetable principles, passing into the state of fecula for completing the ripe pea, but which are far more ease of digestion when sn a green state than the ripe pea itself. By pea is lost; but by stewing them with poultry or meat, all the nourishing qualities are presserved; ane thus they form a dish that is most congenial to weak stomachs and awastenhabitofbody. To MAKE GOOD VINEGAR.—A correspondent of the Ohio Cultivator vouches for the merit of the following recipe for making vinegar :-Take and mix one quart of molasses, three gallons of rain water, and one pint of yeast. Let it ferment and stawd for four weeks, and you will have the best of vinegar. A RANDOM SHOT.—Not very long ago (says the Kelso Journal), an express train drew up at a railway station at no great distance from the Borders, and a gentleman bearded like the pard," accompanied by a noble-looking lady, left a first-class carriage and entered the refreshment room. Just at that moment, a native, who had been paying his devotions with great fervour at the shrine ot the jolly god, was industriously emancipating an effer- vescing draught from a flask in his hand, and either thoughtlessly or recklessly directed the cork towards the face of the distinguished looking traveller, who jerked aside to avoid the missile. Oh there's a fellow to stand fire," exclaimedthespirituoushero "Youwodn'tdofor the Crimea." It was the gallant leader of the glorious six hundred who charged at Balaklava to whom the taunt was addressed. His Lordship was returning south from Edinburgh, where he had been on military duties. THE BISHOP OF EXRTER ON SOUNDNESS IN THE FAITH. -The Lord Chancellor having appointed the Rev. G, Hadow, Incumbent of St. Andrew's Chapel, to the living of St. Just, Cornwall, the Bishop of Exeter refused to countersign the usual testimonial of fitness from three beneficed Clergymen, until Mr. Hadow should have been examined by him as to soundness of faith. To this Mr. Hadow declined to submit, and it appears from a statement in the Plymouth Mail that the Lord Chancellor is disposed to waive the requirement of a testimonial, and to cause the fiat of presentation to issue, notwithstanding the Bishop's demur to the soundness of his nominee. PICTON AT WATKRLOO.—I once heard an anecdote of Picton, from an officer who was himself at Waterloo. Picton, I was told by this officer, was wounded the day before Waterloo, but had concealed his hurt, and with the most heroic fortitude remained in the field. During the night, however, the agony o. his wound obliged him to send for a surgeon, who remained with him till dawn; and on his leaving, Picton addressed him :—" You say mv wound is dangerous-mortal-that I am unfit for duty, and must be represented to the Duke?" "Such is mv opinion," said the medical man, "I think it would be impossible for you to take the command of your division." Leave me to judge of that. Sir," said Picton, "and in the meanwhile, allow me to ask you a question. From your long knowledge of me, do you consider me capable of strictly keeping my word?" "I have every cause to believe so," returned the surgeon; "but why the question, Sir Thomas?" "Simply for this reason that I made up my mind to be in :the field with my brigade; and and I give you my word of honour, both as a gentleman and a soldier, that if you place my name in your report as unfit for duty, I will shoot you with my own hand." The surgeon shrugged his shoulders, shook, Picton by the hand, and withdrew. The gallant General's name was accordingly omitted amongst the wounded; and his w ish had been often expressed that he might die amidst the blaze of battle, he was gratified. THE FORCE OF RIDICULE.-On the arrival of the French Imperial Guards in the Crimea, they were con- sidered as a sort of privileged corps, and consequently not required to do duty in the trenches before Sebasto- pol. This did not fail to give rise to some feelings of jealousy amongst the rest of the army, and one night a wliitty Zouave wrote on the tents of the Guards the fol- lowing Words :—" La Garde demeure ici, mais ne se rend pas aux trenches. (the Guards live here, but don't go to the trenches.) This caustic allusion to the proud motto of the former Imperial Guards—" La Garde Meurt, mais ne se rend pas" (the Guards die, but never surrender), so wounded the feelings of their present- successors, that they petitioned General Canrobert to exempt them from their privilege, and allow them to take their turn in the trenches. The permission was granted, and their gallant conduct in the sanguinary night attacks on the 22nd and 23rd of last month has completely obliterated the envy and jealousy previously entertained against them by the other corps of the French army. SERFDOM OF RUSSIAN SoLMERs.—It appears that the Russian soldiers who have been exchanged, propagate on their return to the country ideas the most subversive of Russian rule. They were particularly struck with the difference between the treatment of the English and French soldiers by their chiefs, and that which they themselves have always experienced ;-the difference be- tween the discipline practiced by men, and submitted to by them, and the debasing and hopeless servitude of brutalised serfs. They narrate all they have seen and heard in the allied camp, contrast their own situation with that which they have witnessed with others, and say that they have been hitherto treated like brutes. To be conscious of and feel keenly one's degradation is not far from the desire to throw it off and it would be curious if the commencement of a liberal propagandism in Russia among the lowest classes were to date from the short captivity of Russian soldiers among their enemies. These prisoners speak with wonder and enthusiasm of the clergy of the allies, so different from the ignorant and contemned popes of their own villages, whose means of exciting fanaticism consist in a gross superstition, and in practices which have more of paganism than Chris- tianity in them. But what produced the greatest effect upon them was the manly bearing of the Engiish and French soldiers, and the kind and respectful manner in which they are treated by their chiefs. RUSSIAN ACCOUNT OF THE HAN GO MASSACRE.—The full Russian version of the atrocity committed an Han go, as published by the Journal de St. Petersburg, is now before ns. It is a most shameless attempt to pass over, as a legitimate act of warfare, the most dastardly murder of modern times. The moral obliquity of this account is quite amazing. On June 5th, at noon, the frigate Cos- sack appeared in the roads off Hango Udd, and sent off a boat, which came ashore in the vicinity of the tele- graph, and landed a small party under the command of some officers there. Ensign Sawcrtschkon, of the King of Prussia's Grenadiers, to whom this portion of the coast is entrusted, having been early informed of this enter- prise of the enemy, concentrated some men of his detach- ment behind a building opposite the landing place, and another portion, under the sub-officer Peter Pawloff, he detached alo g the beach to cut off the retreat of the English. The eneniv, attacked on a sudden, defended himself but feebly, and laid down his arms, The success of this affair must be ascribed to the coolness and the foresight of Ensign Sawertschkoff. The loss of the enemy amounts to five killed; there were taken prisoners, one officer, one surgeon, one marine (garde inurin), and eight sailors, of which latter four were wounded. In addition to the above our troops made spoil of the flag of the boat seven muskets, and seven cutlasses. The boat itself, with one cannon on board, was sunk. On the following morn- ing the English frigate came in close to Hango Udd, and fired at the buildings for about one hour and a half, but without doing them any great harm. THE HARBOURS OF THE SEA OF AZOFF.—Taganrog, at the mouth of the Don, had in 1*4:2 a population of 22,472 souls; Marionpol, on the north shore of the Sea of Azoff, had 4,603 in 1852; lierdiansk, also on the north shore, 6,498 in 1849. Gheisk (or Eisk, or Jeisk) wtvs built on the south shore since 1849, and opened to foreign commerce for the first time in 1852 it has already 8,000 inhabitants. The foreign commerce of Rostow, on the right bank of the DOll, began in 1837: it has already 10,863 inhabitants. SEBASTOPOL SUPPOSED TO BE MINED.—A rumour is in circulation that Sebastopol is extensively mined. The preparations for laying down caissons, with wires, &c., to explode in the Sea of Azoff, shows that the Russians are quite au fait in the mode of warfara. But these opera- tions, always difficult at sea, are easy in a fortified town, of which possession has been held so long, with continual egress an ingress. If Sebastopol be mined, the wires for the purposes of ignition are probably laid down to the north, and trenches should be cut on our advance, in or- der to discover them. Let us suppose that Sebastopol capitulates. A pretty thing it would be—a precious finale to the siege were it blown into the air a day or two after the Allies should have occupied it, and the Russians have cleared out. We know very well that the latter do not care for the sacrifice of a few thousand invalids and soldiers of the line. The Russian main body, with Gort- schakoff and the Staff", might either be well on the road to Perekop or in guardianship of marines and naval bri- gade. Let us imagine the explosion to have taken place even under the latter circumstances. Who could fix the treachery of the crime ? It would be said that one of the victors had accidentally fired the vast powder magazines &c. Now, there is only one way to meet this, besides cutting the trenches and discovering the wires, supposing such to be the manner in which the affair would be ma- naged. Let Gortschakoff and his officers be kept within the walls of Sebastopol. Should the fortress be evacuated and the Russians fight their way to Perekop, then it will be wise to approach with great caution, and to destroy the town piece-meal ourselves. A ROBBER'S RETREAT.—Oil Thursday a middle-aged man, of respectable appearance, giving the name of Phiiip Palmer, was committed for trial by the Liverpool magis- trates, on the charge of having stolen upwards of X400 from a returned emigrant, named Benjamin Ruddock. The prosecutor and prisoner both arrived from Australia three weeks ago, and went with others to a boarding- house in Liverpool. They all slept in one large room, and a night or two after their arrival the prisoner, who was fully cognisant of Ruddock's possession of the money stole it from him while his companions were asleep, and made his escape from the house. A detective policeman in whose hands the matter was placed, succeeded, after a long pursuit, in tracing the prisoner to a secluded vil- lage in Derbyshire, called Crumford. The house in which the prisoner was captured was situated on a very high eminence, at the top of a rock, and only accessible by a flight of 156 steps. About JE190 was found in the pri soner's possession. After being captured, he colly told the officer that if he had had but two minutes's notice of his visit, he should have shot him with his revolver as he was ascending the hill. HEAT WITHOUT FUEL.- The problem of acquiring heat without fuel appears to have been solved by the inven- tion of MM. Beaumont and Mayer, by which water is boiled by means of friction alone. The machine which may be seen at work at their establishment on the Quay Valmy, contains 400 litres of water, which is made to boil in two hours. A cone of wood, turning in a cylinder, so as to produce the necessary friction, is covered with tow, and that tow, in order that it may not catch fire, is kept constantly moistened by a stream of oil. The heat gradually increases until steam is generated. "FIFTY THOUSAND A YEAR" ought to be the title of Mr. Warren's next novel. The learned writer is engaged as a lawyer, in endeavouring to secure for a poor man an inheritance of that vast amouut. William Stote Man by, gardener, of Louth, claims extensive freehold estates in Northumberland, as heir-at -law of Dorothy Windsor, widow (formerly Dorothy Stote, daughter of Sir Richard Stote, knt., sergeant-at-law, who died in 1756, at the age of 8.5. The plaintiff's grandfather and father were illi- terate men, of weak intellect, and died in very indigent circumstances. He himself became aware of what he alleges to be his right in 1846, when a very old man in Louth told him of a trial which took place in Newcastle- upon-Tyne in 1781, at which it seems that his grand- father was declared heir to the wealthy Dorothy Wind- sor but, being of weak intellect, it is alleged that he was improperly kept out of possession by Sir Robert Ben- wick and Mr. John Craster, who were tenants at the time and who prevailed upon him to accept of a rent-charge of X300 a year as a compromise. This is a bare outline of the curious case, divested of legal phraseology. It is now in Chancery, before Sir W. P. Wood, and in all pro- bability will afford some very good pickings tor the lawyers. Whether the Louth gardener will succeed, afte a century's exclusion, in gaining possession, is what we will not undertake to decide. „ The committee of management of the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society have just had the honour of prsenting to his Imperial Majesty a fine Cheshire cheese 901b weight. The offering was made as a specimen of one of the agricutural products of this country, and especially of that portion of jt comprised! in the So- ciety's district—viz., Cheshire and a great portion of the county of Lancaster; and it was offered, too, as an ex- pression of the corqmittce's parpticipation in the good feelings entertained towards His Majesty and the French by their countrymen generally. His Majesty was graciously pleased to accept it as such. The cheese was inclosed pi a good English oak box made for the purpose, and bearing a suitable inscription. Mr. White, Mayor of Warrington, one Qf the Society's vice-presidents, and Mr. T. B. Rydcr, of Liverpool, had the honour of presenting the cheese at the t uileries. A common informer meeting a hawker at Claycross, asked him to show his licence. The hawker refused, and the the informer prosecuted him; but the hawker pleaded that informer had no authority to demand the license. The bench took the same view of the matter, and the infprmer thus nonsuited, was committed to gaol for 14 days, not being able to pay the costs. PEASANT MARRIAGES.—No peasant can marry without the consent of his lord; and it is not unusual tor young people, or the parents, to apply to their master or his steward for a spouse. The following colloquy, which I once heard at a dinner table, sounded strangely to my ears. "Well, Pavel Petrovich," said the geutleman to his steward, have yon got that man married who I sent you this morning." I have found him a wife, your ex- cellency, the parents have settled matters, and the couple will betrothed shortly." It is, in fact, the interest of pro- prietors to encourage marriages; and it has even been necessary to enact a law that forbade any serf to marrv before he is eighteen, in order to prevent the moral and physical evils that used the result from prematurely early marriages.—Nine Years' Residence in Russia. A STRANGE DEVICE TO GET A CONGREGATION.—The Evane evil! <■ (America) Enquirer gives the following ex- traordinary story:—Several years ago, we were a resident of north-western Louisiana, near the confincs of Texas. The people there, as a general thing, were not much given to religion. An itinerant preacher happened to come along in the neigbourhood during this dearth of religion. Not over half a dozen could begot together at his Sunday meetings. Determined, however, to create an interest be- fore leaving the neighbourhood, lie procured handbills, and had them posted up in every conspicuous place in the district, which read to the following effect" Reli- gious Notice.—The Rev. Mr. Blancy will preach next Sunday, in Deinpsay's Grove, at ten o'clock, a.m., and at four o'clock, p.m., Providence permitting. Between the services the preacher will run his sorrel mare, Julia, against any nag that can be trotted out in this region, for a purse of five hundred dollars!" This had the desired effect. Persons flocked from all quarters, and the anxiety to see the singular preacher was even greater than the excitement following the challenge. He preached an elegant sermon in the morning, and after dinner he brought out his mare for the race. The purse was made up by five or six of the planters, and an opposing nag produced. The preacher rode his little sorrel, and won the day, amid the deafening shouts, screams, and yells of the delighted people. The congregation all remained to the afternoon service, and, at its close more than twenty joined the church; some from motives of sincerity, some from the novelty of the thing, some from excite- ment, and some because the preacher was a good fellow 1 SINGULAR PROPOSITION.—The directors of the prison of Lucerne have proposed to the Grand Council to grant a pardon to all the persons confined in that establishment, in consequence of its being so full that no more prisoners can be received. The Suisse, of Berne, in recording this singular suggestion, says that a request might with equal justice be sent to the tribunals not to try any more evil doers, as thereby much expense would be saved. SINGULAR CASE OF CATALEPSY.—The Cambridge Chro- nicle gives an account of a singular case of catalepsy at Pric.kwillow, county of Ely, in the person of a girl named Bartle, fourteen years old. Upon entering the room, says the reporter, you observe her lying upon a bed, apparently asleep, but upon close inspection you will no- tice a convulsive twitching of the eyelids, and also of the tongue, the mouth being partly open. Upon feeling the pulse, and noticing the vibration of the heart, they ap- pear to be in their action perfectly healthy: the breath- ing also is full and deep. She has been in this statejor seven weeks, but occasionally revives, and then partakes of some slight nourishment in the shape of honey and water, or preserved fruit; but lately she has even de- clined the honey, and simply drinks the water. Although for seven weeks she has derived support only from these poor viands, yet she appears, although not stout, of a good habit; and this case also differs from any ordinary case of catalepsy, inasmuch as she describes where she has been and when she is going to relapse, and indeed has gained the credit of being a prophetess in the nineteenth century, whereas, in ordinary catalepsy, the subject of it awakes as if from sleep, remembering nothing that has transpired during his or her slumbers. PRESERVATION OF MILK.—The following method is re- commended for the preservation ofmiik, either at sea or in warm climates :—" Provide pint or quart bottles, which must be perfectly clean, sweet, and dry draw the miik from the cow into the bottles, and as they are filled im- mediately cork them well up, and fasten the corks with packthread or wire; then spread a little straw on the bottom of a boiler, on which place the bottles with straw between them, until the boiler contains a sufficient quan- tity. Fill it up with cold water; heat the water, and, as soon as it begins to boil, draw the fire, and let the water cool gradually. When quite cold, take out the bottles and pack them with straw or sawdust in hampers, and stow them in the coolest part of the ship, or in :t cool place. Some years since there was a Swedish or Danish vessel at Liverpool, having milk on board, preserved in this manner. It had been carried twice to the West Indies, and back to Denmark, and been above eighteen months in the bottles; nevertheless, it was a-s sweet as when first taken from the cow."—New Monthly Magazine.—On this subject the Editor of the Chemist, in the May number, re- marks: "We lately tasted, at the Royal Institution, milk preserved by M. Mabbru's process, and which had been presented by the Abbe Moigno to Mr. Barlow, who al- luded to it in his lecture on preserved meats and vege- tables. This milk was one year old, and was as sweet as when first drawn a considerable quantity of cream had collected in the neck of the bottles." MISTAKEN IDENTITY OF AN INSOLVEKT DKJ;TOR.—In the Insolvent Debtors Court on Wednesday, Henry Laith- ful, who been a barriester and subsequently clerk to his ,d brother, Mr. R. Faithful, of Brighton applied to be dis- charged. The ease commenced by an inquiry whet her the insolvent had been out of the Queen s Prison; since hc^had petitioned. He positivly declared that since his commitment on the 1st of Msv, until the present occasion, he had never been out of the prison. On the other hand, an eldesly genleman, named Deuch, who had known tLe insolvent upwards of fourteen year-, was called and stated that on the 17th of May he saw the insolvent-, near his brother's office, in Middle-strset, Brighton, when lie, said. How do you do Mr. Dendi ?" and he replied How do you do, Mr. Faithful?" and passed oii. Mr Dench men- tioned the circumstance to a detaining creditor, and an action of escape had been brought against the keeper of the Queen's Prison. Mr. Dench declared thath lie was as positive as he was of his own existanee, that he had seen insolvent at Brighton on the 17th of May, The insoivcnt repeated his statement, that he had uever been out of prison since his commitment on the 1st of May. Several witnescess were called and stated that a person ntuned Lucas, who was in the habit ofsttcnding Brighton mar- ket, was very much like the insolvent, and lie had been seen on the 17th of May, in Brighton.—The Chief-Corn niissionor said he supposed there must have been a mis- take. The insolvent underwent a lengliened examination relating to the farms he rented near Brighton. The case was adjourned to Monday. HINT TO BARRISTERS.—The following is a useful hint to barristers who offer viva voce reports to the bench:— There is a wide step between the advocate and witness. An acute but severe judge once remarked to a jury,- "The counsel said, I think this, and I believe that. A counsel has no right to say what he thinks, or what he believes; but since he has told you, gentlemen, his belief, I will tell you mine; that, were you to beJb e him and acquit his client, he would be the very first man in the world to laugh at you." ANOTHER SPURIOUS NUGHET.—A repetition of the "Wvid-Calvert gilding" has been detected in France. It appears that the immense nugget of gold," which lately arrived at Havre, on its way to the Exhibition at Paris, turned out to be a deception. The men who brought it took it to the Bank of France, in order to obtain a loan of money on it, when it was found that the bulk of it was lead, covered over very ingeniously with gold, put on in such a*manner as closely resembled the valuable metal The mail* who presented it has been arrested.—Mining Journal. SUNDAY TRADING BILL.—A monster demonstration took place on Sunday last in Hyde Park, about three o'clock, when a Mr. Bligh was called on to preside, at which time there were many thousands present. Soon after an Inspector of Police intimated to the speaker that; as the Park was not private property it would be illegal to hold any meeting there. This announcement gave dissatisfaction, many maintaining that the Royal Parks were the property of the public. The meeting was then adjourned to Oxford Market, but nearly 20,000 persons remained, and all carriages that came along containing company were hooted at with cries, Go to Church, and put your horses in the stable," and Walk, walk, and let your horses rest and your coachman go to Church." The discordant sounds of so many voices caused the horses to become so frightened that they darted away, and fears were entertained for the safety of the occupants. Several attempts were made to address groups in different parts of the Park, but on the approach of the police the Speakers decamped. CASTI.NO A *'I)EVIL" OUT OF CHURCH:—The New York Tribune presents the following graphic sketch, which it quotes from a credible authority in Marietta. Ohio:— 1, A Methodist clergyman, who has been labouring in ibis vicinity, was not long since preaching to his people on the miraculous power of the apostles over the demonine spirits of their day. As lie was pursuing his theme, the audience was suddenly st»;rtled by a voice from some one in the congregation, demanding in a half-querulous, half- authoritative tone Why don't preachers do such things now a-davs?' Iu an instant, every eye in the house wits turned upon the individual who had the effrontery thus to invade the sacreftnees of the sanctuary. T lie preacher paused for a moment, and fixed his penetrating e«re full upon the face of the questioner. Ihere was an interval of intense silence, broken at last by the preacher in re- suming his subject. He had not proceeded fur with his remarks, before he was again interrupted by the sallie im- pertinent inquiry. Again lie paused for a time, and again continued his subject. Notcontept with a silrnt rebuke, our redoubtable questioner demanded again Why don't the preachers do such things now-a-dnys? and ctuling- his lips with a sneer of self-complacency drew himself t.p pompously in his seat. Our reverend friend-whq. by the way is a vouiig man of great muscular power—cahniy left the desk, and walked deliberately to the pew wiinre the interrogator sat and fastening one hand firmly upon the collar of Iii-i coat, the other upon the waistband of his unmentionables,' lifted him comletely out of his seat, and bore him down the aisle to the entrance. Pausing for a moment there, he turned his eyes upon his audience, and, in a clear, full voice said,—' And they cast out the devil in the form of a distiller; and suitingtlis action to the word, out went the knight of the mash-tub, leap-frog fashion, into the street, The good pastor quietly returned to his desk, and completed his discourse. After closing the services, as he was passing out of church, the outcast distiller, with an officer of the law, escorted our clerical friend to th^ office of a magistrate, te answer for an as- sault upon the person of the said distiller, After hearing the case, the magiBtrnte dismissed the clergyman add roundly reprimanding the complainant, fined him for mo- lesting the services ot the congregation, Since ibat day, A e believe he has never tor a moment doubted the power of Alethodist preachers to cast out devils, at least withifi the limits of the Ohio Confcrauce."

WILLIAM BATCIIELOUR, Member of the Royal Col- i lege of Surgeons of England (1835), and Member and Licen- tiate of tha Apothecaries' Company (1834), 12, Fin.sbury Place South, Finsbui v Square, London, for diseases arising from the derangement of the Nervo-Arterial System. The effect of the Xervo-Arterial Essence is to replenish the sources of nervous power, and to promote a normal circulation of the biood by acting upon the muscular coats of the arteries. It does not stimulate, in the popular sense of the word, because there is no reaction. A lonir course of experience has convinced Dr. Batchelour that most diseases will succumb, if the disturbed equilibrium of the nervous and sanguineous circulations can be re-adjusted. The following Cases and Testimonials (published by distinct permission) are among the many proofs of the truth of this theory, and of the efficacy of the Nervo-Arterial Essence in the cure of disease. „ „ „ „ Triangle, Hackney, Dec. 13, 1854. My dear Doctor,—When you first attended ine I was suffering from general exhaustion to such an extent that, alter my Sunday labours in the pulpit, I continued almost prostrated for several days; you said that my spmytoms evidenced a dertuiged and in- adequate action of the nervo-arterial system, but that I should M:d could be cured by your Nervo-Arterial Essence, which attacked the seat of decease by replenishing the sources of nervous power. I am thankful now, and I think it a duty publicly to record, that your words have been fully substantiated. By means of the Essence I have, as many of my congregation must have observed, become a renovated man. I remain, dear sir, your sincere friend, WILLIAM WoomrouHE, Minister of the Adelphi Chapel, Hacknev-road. Dr. Wm. Batchelour. ——— Jan. 8, 1855. My dear Doctor,-When benefits have been received, it is but natural that thankfulness should be expressed. I have received from your Nervo-Arterial Essence not only relief, but, I think, lasting good. A few weeks since I was attacked with giddiness, or swimming in the head; this, added to considerable nervous prostration, rendered me almost unfit for the arduous duties de- volving upon me,' as a Christian minister. Under these circum- stances, I consulted you, and, without any infringement upon my usual diet, or any suspension from my ordinary labour, one bottle of your Essence has restored me, if not to my former self, at least to comparative good health. If the state of my health should again at any time require it, I should at once resort to the same medicine. I think it invaluable. I am, my dear doctor, your faithful servant, J. B. TALBOT, Minister of Brunswick Chapel, Mile-end road. Dr. Wm. Batchelour. 27, Doughty-street, Mecklenburg-square, Aug. 7, 1854. My dear sir,—L beg to acknowlege the great benefit my "wife has derived from your Essence. Before she commenced takieg it, she was suffering much pain of the heart, attended with palpita- tion and beating, with loss of appetite, but since she has taken it, though but a few days, the pain is eased, the palpitation has ceased, and the appetite is much better. Praying that many more may derive the like benefit from that very valuable Essence, believe me, yours, very faithfully, Dr. Wm! Batchelour. R. ALLDIS, Independen t Minute 12, Ball's Pond Road, Kingsland, Aug. 21, 1854. Sir —It is but an act of common justice, after the great benefit I have experienced from your advice and Essence, that I write and tell you so. The distressing symptoms I consulted you on have very nearly disappeared. The pulse which was frightfully quick and irregular, is now healthy and nearly equal, and the very afflicting depression through which I suffered has very nearly disappeared: indeed I now feel, although little more than a fornight has elapsed since I saw you, all the confidence and comfort of returned health. Yours very truly, Dr. Wm. Batchelour. ASDERTOS. Ash Grove, Hackney, Aug. 26, 1854. Sir _i am wishful to bear evidence of my having been most wonderfully relieved of rheumatic pains, from which I lately suffered all over my body for several months, and for which I was not before able to get any relief, until having one bottle of your Essence, and in three days I was perfectly free from pain. I am, yours obliged and grateful, Dr. Wm. Batchelour. EDMOND BECK, (Warehouseman at Thomas Breary and Co.'s, Aldermanbury.) 79, Murray-street, Hoxton, June 22, 1854. Dear sir,-For many years I have been suffering under a very severe disease of the skin, in my face, head, beard, and ears; I have consulted several gentlemen of eminence, and have steadily pursued their directions, and whilst so doing had relief, though PiUnder'vour kind care I have found that, Homcepathically treated, my health first was astonishingly l mproved, and my face which had assumed a Bardolph character for years previously, next began to wear the appearance of returning healthiness; and I entertain a well-groundedhope that, although nearly sixty-one years have passed, I may even now reasonably expect to be rid of an appearance so disagreeable. I feel confident that your Nervo-Arterial Essence has in my case worked wonders. This is indeed a truth. Yours, dear sir, faithfully, J AllIES IlA WKES, (At the Office of the City Printer, 39, Coleman-street, Dr. Wm. Batchelour. London.) 20, Oxford-street, Whitcchapel-road, Jan. 3, 1855. Sir,-I feel it a duty incumbent on me to certify the extraordi- nary and rapid cure you made of my child's head, aged two years and a half, which for some months previous had been covered with sores, and which had baffled all previous Ttmedies pre- scribed and the vavious medical gentlemen applied to. Mrs. Lunn will take an early opportunity of calling for another bottle of the Essence. Yours, most obediently Dr. Wm. Batchelour. J. Luxx. Wesliy Chapel, Leeds, Jan. 27, 1855. My dear doctor,—During these winter months I am doing the work of a Christian minister with greater ease than I have known for many years past in the winter seasons. I am without the hoarseness and weakness of voice, which caused me to shrink from public labour; and I believe the improvement has been effected, under God, by your Nervo-Arterial Essence, which I regularly take. I am, dear doctor, yours respectfully, I)r. Wm. Batchelour. CHARLES CLAY.

I'I"HIS is one of the most extraordinary and valuable t Medicines in the world. Its superiority over other nrepaiations of like character, made in this countiy, arises from the mode of manufacture, and the advaniage of ob- tainiiig and working the root if, its green hiid fresh state. The root, when brought to th's country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its virtues and juices having all evaporated while it often becomes mouldy, musty, and partially de- cayed, so that it is quite unfit for use. ENGLISH TESTIMONY. We give a few oi the many communications we have re- ceived since we have been in England, from those who have experienced the great benefits of uaing this celebrated medicine. They must have some weight in convincing the public of its great value. 49, Da vies-street, Berkeley-square, Sept. 1, 1851. Gentlemen,—1 have much pleasure in testifying to the numerous thanks I received from various persons who have taken Old Dr. JAcob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, many 01 whom will be happy to give you testimonials should you require them. 1 am doubly pleused to be able to speak to the good effects [ have seen my.-elf produced by the Sarsa- parilla; for I must confess thai although I was not pre- judicial, I was rather sceptical as to its virtues, which I would no' have believed it possessed, had I not seen it.-I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, JOHN JAIMERSON. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. FURTHER IMPORTANT TESTIMONY. GREAT CURE OF PILES. 17, Plielps-sreet, Walworth, Feb. 22. 1853. Gentlemen,-I was afflicted with the blind Piles, and was under medical treatment for three months, but obtained no relief. Hearing of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsa- parilla, I obtained some, and, after taking it II short time, the accumulated corrupt matter copiously discharged, and I almost immediately obtained relief. I still continued its use for a time, and not only found relief, but a cure, and am now free irorn pain. I most sincerely recommend it to all who are similarly affected.-I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, W M. HTDB. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. B. Ashley-terrace, City-road, London, June 8, 1852. Gentlemen, —Please send me again three quart bottles of Old Dr. Townsends's Sarsaparilla. I feel much better, and the general system greatly improved, and I hope, I shall be all right with the three now ordered.—I am, gentlemen, yours very respectfully, JOHN W. MUNCH. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co., 373, Strand. William Wearn, 1, High-street, Southsea, writes, "1 have taken several bottles of Old Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and derived benefit from it." Rev. J. W. Wilson, Wes- -eyan Minister, at Biggleswade, writes, June 7, 1852, I have derived much benefit faom taking Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla." FEMALE COMPLAINTS. GREAT CURE OF NERVOUSNESS. London. J una. 10, 1852. Gentlemen,-My wife has been long afflicted with a ner- vous complaint from which she suffered severely. Able physicians and many remedies were tried in vain, but 1 am happy to inform you that she has entirely recovered by using a few bottles ot Old Tortnsend's Sarsaparilla. J. R. PETERSON. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, ERUPTIONS, &c. The same may be said ot these as in the cure of the severer chronic maladies; the Sarsaparilla and the Oint- ment will effectually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled with rough, pimply skin, or a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Nothing can exceed their efficacy in this respect. CURE OF A DISORDERED STOMACH. Lower Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, July 41, 1851. Gentlemen -I beg to inform you that I have been using your Medicine, Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla, for a com- plaint in my stomach, from which I suffered a long time, and I am happy to say it has cured me. I shall be happy to answer any letter of inquiry, as I am satisfied your Sarsaparilla is worthy of all the recommendation I can give it. JAMES FORSYTH. Messrs. Pomeroy and Co.
