I am, truly yours, Medicine Warehouse, Yeovil. J. GAMIS. E. A. An elderly gentleman came for a second box A&R'S PILLS, and with pleasing astonishment said these are the best pills I have ever had, and I intend always to keep them by me, they are the best remedy for the Piles I have ever tried." P. G- Another person, aged 76, affirmed, that after trying almost every medicine for Indigestion and Bilious Complaint, that PARR'S LIFE PILLS stand unequalled, and emphatically said it was the best apenent medi- olue extant. W. E. A young man, who had for a long time been rendered incapable of following his usual employment, Irg painfully afflicted with a most obstinate complaint in his stomach, is now able to follow his usual employ- luent, by persevering in the use of PARK'S PILLS. E.. H. Who declares he has spent pounds in endea- ounng to cure a complaint which he terms the blind Piles, has, by taking three 2s. 9d. boxes, received a perfect cure. B. M. Who has been sadly afflicted with Rheumatism ifor two years, has found these pills a perfect antidote, by h ?Lv'*Ttg recourse to them especially hi the Spring and '?" of the year. These are but few amongst the very many testimonials that I have received of the good effects of PARR'S LIFE PILL'S for all Disorders in the Head and Stomach, and particularly for all Rheumatic Complaints. P. S. You will forward me as usual, one gross of PARILIS PILLS, and also a case of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR.

ORTHWlCIi'S GOUT TINCTURE.—Extract of a Letter from Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., dated Rome, January 29th, 1840, to James Loch, Esq.. M.P., 12, Albemarle-street, London :— I had a fit of the gout, two days ago, which promised fair to run its usual course, but I have for the present completely got rid of it by two days' application of the remedy—of which I may have spoken to you—furnished me by Mr. Borthwick. Of course no man can answer for the ultimate consequences of the application of any remedy to so strange a disease; I can only say that two experiments of my own fully confirm the evidence he gave me of other cases, and that I have subdued the dis- ease without finding a trace of the operation of the medi- cine in any other shape but that of the departure of the malady. Colchicum, you know, I am forbidden, and, indeed, hardly able to take. Should the operation be as safe as it hitherto appears, I have no hesitation in saying that it is as great a discovery as any in the annals of me- dicine-mercury and bark not excepted. I would take it as a favour if you would see Mr. Borthwick, and what I want to secure is, that he should not die with his secret, which ought to make his fortune. I don't wish my name and experience to go for more than it is worth but my testimony as to the facts ought to be at his service and that of the public. If any friend of yours should take an interest in this curious subject, let him call on Mr. Nicholson, who keeps the public house at St. James s- palace; he took the remedy at my suggestion, in a state of atrocious suffering, and he will tell you his story. r (Signed) "F.

Unquestionably this is a most extraordinary and skilful work, and ought to be extensively circulated for it is quite evident that there are peculiar habits acquired at public schools and private seminaries, which are totally unknown and concealed from the conductors of those establishments, and which cannot be too strongly reprobated and condemned. The Engravings that ac- company the work are clear and explanatory and being written by a duly qualified medical practitioner, will doubtless be the means of saving many a youth, as well as those of maturer age, from the various evil conse- quences resulting from early indiscretions."—Magnet. "This work has the advantage over other treatises on the same subject, in being the production of a regularly educated and duly qualified member of the medical pro- fession, who has had very great experience in the treat- ment of a class of infirmities resulting from secret habits and excesses, which, for their treatment, the utmost secrecy, confidence, and skill, is so essentially requisite."

Cure of Asthmatic Cough of Twenty I ears standing, by the use of Keating's Cough Lozenges. Seend, near Melksham, Dec. 8th, 1846. Sir,-I was troubled with a bad Asthmatic Cough for twenty years, 'till I heard of your COUGH LOZENGES, through the Newspapers, and with gratitude I send you an account of my cure. My cough was so bad in 1843, 4, and 5, that I was scarcely two months without being under the Doctor's care; at the end of 1845 I was so very ill with it that my wife and friends, and even the Doctor, gave me up; I could not walk across my room and the phlegm nearly choked me; but, thanks to your valuable Cough Lozenges, they effected a complete cure; for the first night I took them I slept without coughing, and in a week I was quite well, and have not taken any other medicine, or been laid up one day since. I wish for the good of my fellow-sufferers, that you would pub- lish these facts. I remain, Sir, your obedient and grateful servant, JOHN RANDELL. To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Churchyard.

Longparish House, near Whitchurch, Hants, October 21st, 1846. 8ir,-1 cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary ellect that I have experienced by taking only a few of your Lozenges. I had a cough for several weeks, that defied all that had been prescribed for me; and yet 1 got completely rul t)f it by taking about half a small box of your Lozenges, which I ftird are the only oaea that relieve the cough without deranging the stomach or digestive organs. I am, sir, your humble servant, P. HAWKER. To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Churchyard. The following Testimonial of a cure of Cough of twenty years' standing, and recovery of strength, will be read with much interest:— Pencraig, July 6, 1845. Sir,—I beg to inform you that for the Inst twenty years I have suffered severely from a cough, and have been under medical treatment with but little relief, and have not for many years been able to walk more than half a mile a day. Alter taking three boxes of your Lozenges my cough entirely left me, and 1 have this day walked to Ross, a distance of four miles; for this almost renewal of life I am solely indebted to your Lozenges. You are at liberty to make what use you please of this letter, and i shall be happy to answer any en- quiries respecting my cure. I remain, sir, your obedient and obliged servant, MARY COOKE. To Mr. Keating, St. Paul's Churchyard, London. N.B.—To prevent spurious imitations, please to ob- serve that the words KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES are engraven on the Government Stamp of each box.

(Signed) GEORGE PRIOR. The above reverend and pious gentleman purchased some pounds worth of the Pills for the benefit o ?u his poor parishioners. Cure of a Confirmed Asthma, accompanied with great Debility.-Extract of a letter from John Thompson, Esq., proprietor of the Armagh Guardian, Armagh 17th April, 1846. TO PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,—There is at present living in this city a Serjeant, who had been for many years in the army at Cabul, in the East Indies, from whence he returned in September last. On his way here, from the change of weather of a tropical to a moist climate, he caught a very violent cold, which produced a confirmed case of Asthma. In December last he commenced taking your Pills, and by the use of two lis. boxes, with two 4s. 6d. pots of your Ointnent well rubbed into his breast, he is, I am happy to say, not only quite cured of the asthma, but is also become so strong and vigorous, that he informed me yesterday he could now run round the Mail with any person in the city, and that he never got any medicine equal to your Pills and Ointment.

I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. I The Queen has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal of the United King- dom, constituting and appointing his grace the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, Lord Cottenham, the Archbishop of York, Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl of Chichester, Earl of Powis, Lord John Russell, the Lords Bishops of London, Durham, Winchester, Lincoln, and Chester, Sir George Grey, Bart., and Sir Charles Wood, Bart., her Majesty's Commissioners for considering the state of the several bishoprics in England and Wales. It has been determined by Prince Albert, as the Ranger of Windsor Great Park, to cause a considerable decrease in the number of deer in the Royal domains at Windsor; the quantity which it is intended to be killed, and given to the poor of the five parishes surrounding the park, being 76. I It has been ascribed to the Queen, that on asking the Duke" what kind of boots he had on, and being answered that the people call them Wellingtons," she exclaimed—" what impudence Where will they find a pair of Wellingtons, I should like to know ?" We regret to learn that Lady John Russell has, during this week, been suffering from severe indis- position. Lord Dinorben is seriously indisposed, at his seat, Kinmel Park, near St. Asaph. The Bishops, at their recent meeting, accepted Lord J. Russell's proposal to have four new bishops created, without seats in Parliament, but to succeed to seats as vacancies occur, and the four junior bishops to be always without seats. The bishops accept this in pre- ference to a new bishop of Manchester with a seat. Thus the number of spiritual peers will not be increased.- Church and State Gazette. A pension of £],400 a year falls to the Crown by the decease of John Carthew, Esq., aged 86, private secre- tary to the late Mr. Pitt, when prime minister. The greater part of Easton Lodge, Essex, the seat of Viscount Maynard, has been destroyed by fire. The books, paintings, and other valuable articles, were saved. Great exertions are making in Scotland to procure a removal of the duty imposed on the manufacture of paper and deputations have been sent to London. A gentleman acting as secretary to a relief committee in Dublin committed suicide on Sunday se'nnight. He was of a very benevolent disposition, and declared he could not endure the harrowing misery he witnessed. The Great Britain steam ship lies more deeply em- bedded than ever among the rocks in Dundrum Bay but there are still hopes of getting her afloat in the spring. A writer in the Mechanics' Magazine states that strong and well tasted ale may be brewed from mangel wurzel, at the cost of 5d. a gallon. A subscription has been set on foot among the differ- ent members of the royal household, from the highest to the lowest, in aid of collections now making for the relief of the poor of Ireland and parts of Scotland. It is stated that Keeling and Hunt, the foreign fruit- brokers, of Monmouth-yard, London, have received a government order to procure E20,000 wortkof seed potatoes from the Mediterranean, the Azore where- ever they can best be had as speedily as possillje. Some of the county magistrates have memorialised Sir G Grey, complaining of the laxity of the Leicester Borough magistrates in administering the game laws. The borough magistrates designate this proceeding as alike indelicate, improper, and unconstitutional. The last census of the United States gave 240,000 as the number of female slaves under ten years of age, and 390,000 as the number between ten and twenty. The news from the corn markets is every day more favourable, and the prices are receding everywhere, in j consequence of the large arrivals from the Black Sea. This circumstance will probably have a great influence on our money market. But many persons are appre- hensive that this sudden fall will be but transitory, and that the price will again rise at the end of February, be- cause the corn imports are not yet sufficient to provide against the insufficiency of our stock. Amongst the deaths of the week in the metropolis, is that of Mr. James Toole, the well-known" city toast- master." The Gazette de Guernsey mentions a rather curious report, that Sir J. H. Reynett the new Lieut.-Governor of Jersey had prohibited the exportation of potatoes and other roots from that Island. There never was so large a quantity of sprats caught in the port of Waterford as at present, The physicians say that no bad effects have arisen from their use, be- cause the people use bread with them instead of vege- tables. On Mpnday last, Samuel Collinson, aged 50 years, fell into a cistern "full of boiling copperas, at the Old Lane Colliery, Chadderton, near Oldham, and was scalded to death.

A sheriff's jury at Edinburgh has awarded E5,896 for a piece of land required by the Caledonian Railway Company, for which the owners demanded £ 40,000. A man and his paramour, named David Gray and Sarah Bright, are in custody at little Dunmow for poisoning their child, by giving it a mixture of soap liniment and opium. The subscriptions received by the British Association for the Relief of the Destitute Irish and Scotch amount to upwards of Ell 5,000. The Morning Herald says that in Nottingham there are as many as TWENTY-EIGHT different religious sects; and of the Methodists alone seven separate and distinct bodies. A navigator working on the Lewes railway has just received information that his uncle had bequeathed £ 87,000 to be divided between him and his brother. A Keswick correspondent of the Liverpool Journal states that more rain fell in 1846 than in any of the four preceding years. From the 26th of Sept. to the 6th of Oct. no less than 14 inches were registered. Dr. Simpson, of Edinburgh, has applied sulphuric ether to the purposes of midwifery, and with the most signal success. The Pope has conferred the Grand Cross of the Order of Gregory the Great on the Earl of Shrewsbury. On Friday there was a very general reduction in the price of bread throughout the metropolis, the 41b. loaf of an inferior quality being charged 83d. and 9d. the best, lOd. Many of the publicans also announced that beer had fallen to the old price, 3d. per pot. Mr. Robert Suffield, late scholar of St. Peter's Col- lege, Cambridge, has made a public profession of the Roman Catholic Faith, and has been received into the College at Ushaw. The Eclectic Review for this month says, Our right reverend diocesan of London has consecrated five hun- dred churches, and that he receives a fee of E150 per church, producing £ 75,000. He also had, thereby, the disposal of 500 livings, each of them worth, on an average E250 a rear An agricultural writer calculates that 100 stones of good hay, are about equal in nutritious quality to 400 of parsnips, 450. of carrots, 500 of Swedish turnips or mangel wurzel, or 700 to 800 of common turnips. A Lammermoor shepherd recommends the sprinkling of sheep pens with quick-lime, occasionally, as an effective precaution against the foot rot. The Presse states that the population of St. Peters- burgh, which is composed of 440,000 souls, presents this singular and certainly unique fact, that it consists of nearly twice as many men as women, viz., 292,000, and only 148,000 women. The number of marriages was progressively diminishing in St. Petersburgh, whilst the number of illegitimate children was in- creasing. It appears that five thousand children are annually deposited in the Foundling Hospital, being twice as many as in Paris, where the population amounts to above 1,000,000. In the Times has appeared a protest from the citizens of Cracow, unquestionably authentic, as our contempo- rary received it through a British minister. 11 This do- cument," remarks the Times, is anonymous, for every signature would have pointed out some fresh victim to the oppressors of Poland." < Mr. Gutzlaff, the well-known missionary, thinks the Chinese the most prolific nation in the world. All marry, and not one marriage in a hundred is unpro- ductive. In the census which he made of Tanghae, a city containing 30,000 inhabitants, there was but one unmarried woman, and she was an English lady. Divorces are swelling rapidly in number in Pennsyl- vania, and to the previous repudiation of their debts, the citizens are now adding the repudiation of their wives and marriage vows. A subscription has been opened at Hamburgh for the relief of the distressed Irish. The Wexford papers complain that, in about a fort- niglit hence, 1,000 able-bodied men will be thrown out of employment in that locality, in consequence of the works on which they are now engaged being likely to be finished at that period. This is called a startling fact." The Limcrich Chronicle states that the starved dogs are being killed like vermin in several parts of the county, as these animals have attacked the bark of trees, being bereft of their usual sustenance. An iron steamer, called the Passport, was launched at Kingston, Canada, last week, of a substantial and elegant make, the iron of which was iu the bowels of the earth in Scotland in March last. It is stated that from 10,000 to 12,000 quarters of Indian corn are held in Egypt for English account. The crop has been unusually abundant in that country. Such was the glut of game and wild fowl in London on Friday, that wild ducks were sold as low as 6d. each, snipes, 3d., and wood pigeons 8d. a couple. Pheasants sold for 4s. a brace, and partridges at 2s. a brace. i-H nres fetched prices as low as h. cach, "IIÙ wild rab- bit*. M. nnd 8d. each.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.1
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. 1 INDIA AND CSINA.-Indian papers, in anticipation of the overland mail, have been received. The latest dates are-China, November 28 Calcutta, December 23; and Bombay, January 2. The following is the summary of the Bombay Times :—" We are once more relieved of the listlessness which for a season has over- whelmed us and our columns-once again freed from the want of interest which has for seven months attached to them, by the events which have just occurred in the Punjaub and Scinde. The Wuzeer Lall Singh, having been suspected of a treasonable connexion with the Cashmeer insurgents, had the charge brought home to him by the Sheek Emaum-ood-Deen, on the evidence of letters written by the Wuzeer to him while in arms. The inquiries were conducted in presence of a commis- sion, consisting of Sikh chiefs and British officers-lr. Currie and Colonels Lawrence Goldie being amongst the latter. It was intimated to the Durbar, that should a convicted traitor remain in power we should be under the necessity of ceasing to hold intercourse with the Government, and Lall Singh was accordingly deposed and removed, under our protection, to Hindostan. Had he remained in his own country his life would quickly have been sacrificed to the indignation of the people. The government was now intrusted to a commission of chiefs, and the question pressed as to the arrangements contemplated by them on our retirement. After much equivocation and delay it was determined to ask of us to permit an army of 10,000 men to remain at Lahore dur- ing the minority of the Maharajah, our commissioner virtually to cxercise the functions of Wuzeer. To this we assented, the Sikhs defraying all the charges of our troops, amounting to a quarter of a million sterling an- nually. The Maharajah is now a child of seven years old and for the next ten years at least the Punjaub is in the hands of the British government, and controlled by a British army. It is idle to speculate on the events which may occur before the year 1857. Her Majesty's 10th foot, with eight regiments of Native Infantry, and a suitable proportion of artillery, had been ordered to relieve the troops, who for ten months had so admirably discharged their duties. The Sikh government have thus voluntary undertaken to defray the extra charges of an army at Lahore, which, for our own protection, we must have maintained, at any rate, on the frontier. Such has been the success of the much-censured policy of Lord Hardinge, refusing to conquer or spoil the coun- try which has now been voluntarily and tranquilly placed in our hands without obloquy, trouble, or charge." Lord Hardinge is understood to have resolved on the re- duction of the postage throughout India, and the intro- duction of a system similar to that of Rowland Hill. The districts around Gwalior are said to be in a sad state murders and robberies being of frequent occur- rence-the commission of any atrocities being overlooked by the native authorities for a consideration. CHIN A.-There have been no fresh disturbances at Canton, and the withdrawing of the steamer Nemesis has caused some uneasiness. A letter from Sierra Leone, dated the 15th of Dec., reports that, on the 1st, the Queen's brig Cygnet brought in, as a prize, the Brazilian brig Paqueto do Rio, of seventy tons burden, with 547 slaves on board. She had besides about 30 passengers and crew making in all -577 souls. The capture was made off Sherbro'. The National Intelligencer, a Washington paper, contains an article, tracing in Mr. Polk's war policy slow but sure steps to a monarchy. Accounts from Jassy, in Moldavia, of the 14th, state that a serious outrage had occurred at Galatz, on the occasion of the fete of the Greek church. A mob of about two thousand persons broke open and pillaged the Jews' synagogue and several of their houses, and killed several of the Jews. Tranquillity was at length re- stored by the intervention of the English and Austrian Consuls at Galatz. FRANCE.—The Moniteur contains two circulars, ad- dressed by the director-general of customs in Paris to the different custom-house authorities throughout France, announcing to them that a bill has been passed permitting the free importation, until the 31stof July next, of flour, grain, and dried vegetables of every description and that the exportation of meal of every description, as well as of chesnuts, whether whole or ground, has been pro- hibited for a similar period. The National congratu- lates the government on having at length issued ordi- nances prohibiting the exportation of provisions, which it characterises as the only measures calculated to put an end to the disturbances prevailing in so many parts of the country. Switzerland and the German States had already adopted that wise measure," adds the Na- tional, and if England has not imitated the example, it is not through a love of commercial liberty, which she never carries into effect except for her exclusive advan- tage. She entertains no fear that any one will seek corn from her, which is selling in her markets at an ex- orbitant price. She is demanding corn from all quarters, and has none to give any party. But it is precisely be- cause England is in want of corn that we were right to take these precautions with respect to her which we had too long neglected."—The publication in their entirety of the documents relating to the Spanish marriages has produced a most damaging effect on the character of M. Guizot, and on the prospects of the stability of his mi nistry. Many well-informed parties consider that, after the exposure of his intrigues that has taken place, his continuance in office will be impossible, inasmuch as no foreign power can safely enter into negotiations with a minister who has shown himself so utterly wanting in good faith as M. Guizot has done throughout these tran- sactions. Sun.—The Paris papers still find ample mat- ter of comment in the documents relative to the Spanish marriages published by the English government, and they continue to deduce from them fresh proofs of the bad faith of M. Guizot and his colleagues in the transac- tion.—The Semaphore de Marseilles indulges in some amusing speculations on the probable consequences of a war between England and France. This journal informs us that the application of steam to navigation has crea- ted such a revolution in naval warfare, that all our strongholds-such as Gibraltar, Malta, St. Helena, &c., will be worse than useless to us, while the great exten- sion of our empire will enable the French steamers to invade England, and proud Albion may once more be- come the vassal of the Normans." A telegraph d es- patch from Marseilles has been received, announcing that the Etna government steamer was cast ashore on the 20th on the coast of Tenez. The passengers and crew were saved.

AN INSATIABLE BOG.-The railway between Shipley and Keighley is progressing rapidly, with tlW exception of that part near Bingley church, called the Bingley-bog. Sixty tons of earth and stones are cast into this bog every hour of the day. The earth and stones on the east end are conveyed by steam from the Nob wood, and from the west by horses. Notwithstanding the immense quantity being dropped into the gulf at both ends by three lines of rails, all is swallowed up every morning; the heavy matter sinking thus forces the lighter up, and makes a black, spongy embankment on both sides. It is a question at what time it will be completely filled up. OUR STEAM NAVY.—There are 156 steamers afloat, of which 43 are not yet completed—27 of these are for I paddles, and 16 for screws. The Terrible and Fervent, each 1842 tons, are the largest steawners in the navy. They are both paddle steamers, and with the Retribu- tion, 1640 tons, have engines of 800-horse power each. The Simoom is a screw steamer, with 780-horse power; the Vulcan (screw) has 700-horse power the Euphrates and the Termagant, 620-horse power each the Daunt- less, 580-horse power; the Greenock, 510-horse power. REGIMENTAL SCHOOLMASTERS.—It will be recollect- ed that during the discussions last session on the sub- ject of corporal punishment in the army, more than one bon. member stated that until a better order of recruits, men of greater mental cultivation were found, the cha- racter of the army would be always more or less deterio- rated. Acting on this principle, the authorities at the Horse Guards have resolved to receive into the British army, as a commencement, 30 young men of good moral character, possessing rather more than a plain education. This qualification is a sine qua non, and is to form the groundwork, so to speak, of improvement in the higher branches—mathematics, algebra, fortification, &c. The individuals approved are immediately afterwards to be transferred to Chelsea, there to have their military edu- cation completed. During the week, about 200 applica- tions have been made at the Horse Guards, and the par- ties have been,subjected to a severe examination under the auspices of the Inspector-General. Some of the young men have declared that the examination was so rigid and discursive, that it more resembled an exami- nation previous to taking orders, Jthan preparatory to admission into another seminary. The pay is 17s. 6d. a-week, with lodgings, coals, candles, &c. together with an uniform, consisting of a blue frock, military cap, and grey trousers the parties chosen are to rank with ser- geant-majors, and after ten years' service, if they choose, may retire on a pension of 2s. per day. The parents of some of the applicants have moved in the superior ranks of life. The regimental schoolmaster is to be a civil ap- pointment; he will travel with the regiment, or go into barracks with it, as occasion may demand. These are the principal details of the plan, which is considered b). military men to be a grand step towards the advance- ment of the moral and intellectual condition of the Bri- tish soldier.— Observer. BAD LEGS AND WOUNDS OF ALL KINDS ""CURED BY HOI.LOW. y'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—If these valuable medicines be used together according to the dwections given with them, there is no case, however obstinate, bad, or long standing, but may be shortly cured by their surprising efficacy. Thousands of persons who had been patients in large hospitals, and under the care of the greatest surgeons of the day without deriving the least benefit, as a last resource use HoIIoway's Oint- ment and Pills, which always cure them. and frequently in as little time as a cut finjjcr wuuid require when mated in the usual war.
SAVINGS' BANKS.
SAVINGS' BANKS. Should a maiM 18 begin to save 2s. a-week, and go on regularly for 10 years, he would, at the age of 28, have in bankAkoning his savings and the interest, about £ 60, the tie of which, observe, consists very much in the manner of acquiring it. For, suppose him to have spent these ten years as is too commonly the case, working half his time, and drinking and idling the rest, and suppose the sum of E60 to be then given him, what effect would it have ? Would he not, most likely, drink more and work less ? But, when a man has set his mind upon saving, he will almost necessarily contract such habits as will make his savings useful. He will find hard work grow easier because it increases his gains he will shun idleness, because it stops them; he will turn away from the alehouse, because it swallows them up he will be content with frugal fare, because it adds to his savings, and though he may look forward to the comforts of marriage, he will be in no hurry to bring upon himself the charge of a family. Being careful himself, he will look about for some careful young woman, and they will resolve not to be married till they can furnish a house, and have some money in store. This will make them doubly industrious and doubly careful, and then their savings will amount op so fast, that, perhaps, they will begin to have higher notions, and will put off their marriage a little longer, till they have saved enough to set up on a small farm, or in some business, where they think they can, by joining their savings become richer, though married, than they could if separate. Here marriage is, indeed, a blessing. The children will have advantages in education, which their parents did not possess and though all this can- not happen to all, it is yet impossible to foresee what benefit may arise to a man and his descendants, from placing a portion of his early earnings in a savings' bank. Is. a-week saved, will, with the interest, amount to f20 in 7 years 3s. a-week will amount to £60 in the same period. If ft man who earns 30s. a-week deposits 10s., he will possess, at the end of 5 years, £ 140; and if he should marry a female who has been able to accumulate half as much, they would together possess no less a sum than E200 to begin the world with. It is true that savings' banks hold out the best prospect to those who are young and unincumbered, but almost all may derive some advantage from it; at least they may point out to their children the easy means of securing their own comfort, and it will be strange if, out of a large family, some do not prove able to assist their less fortunate parents in their old age. Teach but a child to put part of his first little earnings in the bank and, in all probability, poverty will not overtake him to the end of his life. Teach one child to save, and others will follow his example, till industry and frugality become as common as vice and misery are now. If a boy of 12 years of age can lay by 3d. a-week till he it 14, then 6d. a-week till he is 16, and then Is. a week till he is 18, by which time he may be supposed to have learned his business, he will have in the bank adding the interest of his money, E10, besides having acquired habits of industry and carefulness. It has been shown above what he may lay by in the next 10 years: and what he will be at the end of that time, compared with men of his own age, who have not saved, and who are neither industrious nor careful, need not be shown. Many who have been wild in their youth begin to be steady when they marry but had habits will break out, and an increasing family presses so hard upon those who have nothing beforehand, that they often be- come discouraged, and sink under the evils of poverty. They need not, however, despair. Let them consider if they have not some inclination which they now and then indulge at the expense of some of their comforts, though the thought of it afterwards only causes them pain; let them try to turn that inclination into an inclination for saving it will soon grow upon them, for it gives plea- sure both in deed and in thought; it will go with them, to the plough, it will stay with them at the loom, and it will sweeten the labour of both. Let them only make, a beginning, if it is but with 6d.; if necessity compels them, they can take it back the attempt will do them credit, and perhaps they will be more fortunate anaher time. Let them consider every penny they spen let them examine if they cannot do without something which before they thought necessary. If they happen to have money in their pockets, without any immediate use for it, let them take it to the bank, and trust to their industry to supply their future wants. A shilling not called for, soon tempts to the ale-house it is soon spent there-a shot is soon run up—a day's wages are soon lost, and thus 5s. are gone without thought and without profit. Now, 5s. in the bank would make an excellent beginning towards rent, or towards clothing. Scrape a little money together, and some pounds in the year may be saved by laying in potatoes, or coals, or flour, at the best hand, instead of in very small quanti- ties, and on credit. By buying two pair of strong shoes- at once, so that they may always be well dried before they are put on, and mended as soon as they want it, two pair will last as long as three that are constantly worn. Here are at least 10s. saved, besides the saving of health and strength. There are many other ways of saving, by means of a little money beforehand and it is clear that a man and his family, who earn even mode- rate wages, may, by good management, live better than they did before or, if they prefer it, may lay by some. thing at the end of the year. If a man wants to borrow a little money on any particular occasion, or for any particular purpose, what is so likely to obtain him credit as his having been a regular saver in the bank ? If he has, unfortunately, not been so steady as he might have been, what is so likely to get him a character as his be- ginning to put money in the bank ? But there is scarcely any end to the advantages of such an establishment to those who choose to avail themselves of it; for unmar- ried women, especially, it is particularly desirable they may there place their savings in safety, without trouble or expense it gives them the best chance of making themselves comfortable if they marry, and independent if they do not. As yet savings' banks have not been established long enough to prove more than a very few of the good effects which may be expected from them. They are calculated, however, to serve the country in the best of all possible ways, by enabling every man to serve himself; they hold out encouragement to youth, comfort in middle life, and independence to old age, and a perpetual opportunity to men to improve their condi- tion from generation to generation--LIn inserting the above article we cannot refrain from expressing an earnest hope that a Savings' Bank will ere long be established in Carmarthen.-ED.

LANDLORDS' PLEDGES.—Lord Mountcashel states that the rental of Ireland is about thirteen millions, that the landlords have pawned their rents to the amount of ten millions, leaving the population to starve upon the remaining three millions. Under these circumstances, which, like the rents, cannot be redeemed too quickly, we think the emblem of Ireland should be changed from the shamrock to the pawnbroker's balls. The emblems of the United Kingdom henceforth should be, The rose, the thistle, and the three balls."—Punch. POLITICAL RECANTATION.—We have passed the greater part of our lives in opposing Lord John Russell and the party with which he has been connected, and although it is foreign to our practice to make personal attacks even had not his truth, his gentle manners, and spotless life, fortified him against serious personal accu- sations, yet we cannot but confess that we have often. in the heat of party warfare, assailed him with a degrea of bitterness painful to ourselves at the time, and more painful now, when we can appreciate the real merits of the object of our hostility. -Sta)tdat-d. APPLICATION OF CHARITABLE FUNDS.—In a letter of the correspondent of an Edinburgh paper, the follow- ing is related as a fact :—" Your readers may remember that some months ago a hurricane caused enormous da- mage to persons and property in the neighbourhood of Rouen. A large sum of money was raised for the relief of the sufferers. Part of the amount thus obtained was placed in the hands of the Archbishop of Rouen for dis- tribution. The archbishop gives a small portion of the sum to the sufferers actually living but thinking that the dead arc entitled to their part, he has placed the rest in the hands of the clergy, to say masses for the repose of their souls A JUDGE'S CHARGE ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.— Johnson in his life of Savage, gives the following version of the speech of Mr. Justice Page to the jury, at the trial of Savage, for murder, in 1727:—" Gentlemen of the jury you are to consider that Mr. Savage is a very great man a much greater man than you or I, gentle- men of the jury-that he wears very fine clothes much finer clothes than you or I, gentlemen of the jury-that he has abundance of money in his pocket: much more money than you or I, gentlemen of the jury-but, gen- tlemen of the jury, is it not a very hard case, gentlemen of the jury, that Mr. Savage should therefore kill you or me, gentlemen of the jury ?" ETIQUETTE.—A lady who was a strict obserur of etiquette, being unable' to go to church ,ne Sunday, sent her card. SIR WALTER SCOTT ON BEAUTY.—In or.e *f the delightful descriptions of Female Loveliness which adorn the pages of this interesting writer, he alludes to a fragrant and balmy mouth and pearly set of teeth, at ranking among the first attributes of Feminine Beauty. The care and conservation therefore of ornaments, so precious and important, cannot fail to become objects of high interest, and induces us unhesitatingly to recom- mend Rowlands' Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice," as an indispensable appendage to the Toilet of Beauty, and as calculated to heighten and preserve the aiivaiitagr* of B ilniy Breath," and "Pearl} ic 'th, in all thvil beauty and perfection. — Set AdU.
