Obituary.

ADMIRAL G. HENDERSON died on the 23rd inst., aged seventy-eight, at Middle Deal. He was the son of Mr J. Henderson, for many years secretary to Admiral Lord Bridport, and saw much active service. REAR-ADMIRAL W. ALLEN died on the 23rd inst., at Weymouth, in his seventy-second year. He served with distinction from 1807 to the close of the war. ROWLAND HUNTER, nephew and successor of the celebrated bookseller J. Johnson, of St Paul's churchyard, died on the 18th inst., as a Poor Brother of the Charter House, in his ninety-first year. Mr Hunter was intimate with some of the best writers in the early part of the century, amongst whom may be named Dr Aikin, Mrs Barbauld, and the Edgworths (father and daughter). His ultimate failure is said to have arisen from his adherence to old-fashioned modes of business and his aversion to speculate. In him, we lose another of the few remaining links left between the literature of the past and the present

the doctrine of
Homœopathy was first introduced into this country, there
were to be obtained no preparations of Cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach: the nut was
either supplied in its crude state or so unskilfully manu-
factured as to obtain little notice.

J. EPPS, of London, Homeopathic Chemist, was
induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this sub-
ject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of ela-
borate machinery, in being the first to produce an article
PURE in its composition, and so refined by the perfect tri-
turation it receives in the process it passes through, as to be
most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use,

TABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The enormous increase of commerce and industrial enterprise has caused proportionate requirements for financial aid and accommodation, a large proportion of the most important works of the time being dependent, in their early stage, upon temporary assistance from the capitalists of the City of London.

The necessity for such facilities has long been recognized and successfully acted upon on the Continent, and it is now fully admitted here.

The Association will undertake all financial business of importance, including the negotiation and arrangement of loans on security of rates, harbour dues, or other similar securities, and will itself make advances wherever the transaction is only for a limited period.

The Shares of the existing Financial Associations are steadily increasing in value, and stand already at the following premiums on the amount paid up:Amount paid per Share.

"The Duke of Manchester has done a welcome service to
the lover of gossip and secret history by publishing these
family papers. Persons who like to see greatness without
the plumes and mail in which history presents it, will accept
these volumes with hearty thanks to their noble editor. In
them will be found something new about many men and
women in whom the reader can never cease to feel an interest
-much about the divorce of Henry the Eighth and Catharine
of Arragon-a great deal about the love affairs of Queen
Elizabeth-something about Bacon, and (indirectly) about
Shakspeare-more about Lord Essex and Lady Rich-the very
strange story of Walter Montagu, poet, profligate, courtier,
pervert secret agent, abbot-many details of the civil war,
and Cromwell's Government and of the Restoration-much,
that is new about the Revolution and the Settlement, the
exiled Court of St Germains, the wars of William of Orange
the campaigns of Marlborough, the intrigues of Duchess
Sarah, and the town life of fine ladies and gentlemen during
the days of Anne. With all this is mingled a good deal of
gossip about the loves of great poets, the frailties of great
beauties, the rivalries of great wits, the quarrels of great
peers."-Athenæum.
