Please to send me one dozen boxes by post, as some are waiting for them.

I got a bad cold from a damp bed thirty-five years ago, and my voice was very bad ever since being great pain to me when preaching and singing-and I am very fond of singing. I used many different medicines, and some of them do good for a httle time; but Dr. Locock's is the best of aH-it clears my voic and stops the coughing instantly. I have never found anything vet to compare with them "I have been thirty-three years a 'Vyesic?-an preacher, and aU the Wesley an Methodists in the principality know me, twenty years of which 1 have lived in Holvnea,?,, I am known personaHy to aU the first men of that body, many of whom have admired the effects of the Wafers in clearing the voice, and stopping the cough they never got such a medi- cine before. "My Wife, over since Christmas, has been very well, after taking two boxes. 1 am a witness of their power to stop a frightful fit of coughing, in all instant. I, as ? Wesleyan preacher, call upon aU I ?ebere; nd singers of every ?enominatioa, to take these W preachers and proving the voice, and curing Coughs. You may publish my testimonial for the excellent Wafers, if you wish. 1 am, yours truly, OWEN THOMAS." CURES OF CONSUMPTION. December 5, 1845.

PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S V III E N D Patronized by the Royal Family 8r Nobility, IS a sure and speedy Cure for-those severe annoyances, JL without causing the least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other remedies for Corns, its operation is such as to render the Catting of Corns altogether unnecessary indeed, we may say, the practice of cutting Corns is at all times highly dangerous, and has been frequently at- tended with lamentable consequences, besides its liability to increase their growth it adheres with the most gentle pressure, producing an instant and delightful relief from torture, and, with perseverance in its application, entirely eradicates the most inveterate Corns and Bunions. Prepared by JOTtX Fox, in boxes at Is. ljd., or three small boxes in one for 2s. 9d., and. be had, with full directions for use, of C. KING, 34, Napier-street, Hoxton New Town, London, and all wholesale and retail medicine venders in town and country. The genuine has the name of John Fox on the Government stamp. A 2s. 9d. box cures the most obdurate corns. Ask for Paul's Every Man s Friend, ABERNETHY'S PILE mNTMENT What a painful and noxious Disease is the PILES, and comparatively how few of the afflicted have been permanently cured by ordinary appeals to medical skill! This, no doubt, arises from the use of powerful aperients, too frequently administered by the profession indeed, strong internal medicine should always be avoided in all cases of this complaint. The proprietor of the aboVe Ointment, after years of acute suffering, placed himself under the treatment of that eminent surgeon, Mr. Aberncthy—was by him restored to perfect health, and has enjoyed it ever since without the slightest return of the disorder, over a period of fifteen years, duiing which time the same Abcvnethian prescription has been the means of healing a vast number of desperate cases, bofh in and out of the proprietor's circle of friends, most of which cases had been under medical care, and some of them for a very considerable time. Abernethy's Pile Ointment was introduced to the public by the desire of many who had been perfectly healed by its application, and since its introduction the fame of this Ointment has spread far and wide; even the Medical Profession, always slow and unwilling to acknowledge the virtues of any 'Medicine not prepared by themselves, do now freely and frankly admit that Abernethy's Pile Oint- ment is not only a valuable preparation, but a never- failing remedy in every stage and variety of that appalling malady. Sufferers will not repent giving the ointment a trial. Multitudes of cases of its efficacy might be produced, if the nature of the complaint did not render Jhose who have been cured, unwilling to publish their names. Sold in covered pots, at 4s. 6d., or the quantity of three 4s. 6d. pots in one, lis., with full directions for use, by C.

IRELAND. I
IRELAND. I We think we may repeat our assertion of last week, and with the same serious exceptions, that the accounts from Ireland are better. The same indignant spirit too prevails as to the shameless little-doing or nothing-doing of the landlords. On this head the papers speak boldly out. Amass of the landlords have been found, in every sense of the word, wanting." The feud between the Irish Confederation and the Repeal Association seems irreconcilable. The quarrel, the points of difference, are perfectly unintelligible, but that is strictly in keeping with-the character of the two bodies. The Repeal Association has evidently lost its hold on the minds of the people. It is possible that those who had a few pence to spare have asked them- selves what did the Association—not what was sug- gested, or recommended, or grandiloquized about, but what did the Association, when its funds were ample, when it had tens of pounds weekly, to relieve the poor ? One thing it did it recommended Repeal, warranted, like Holloway's ointment or Parr's pills, to cure every- thing. A sound philosopher, one Touchstone, said :— It is meat and drink to me to see a fool." The orators of the Repeal Association felt it meat, and drink, recreation, and profit, to see and deal with that easily-beguiled fool the people of Ireland. Even Soyer's model kitchen, with its attenuated soup (small diet) has done more to relieve the distress of Ireland, than has Conciliation Ilall.-Douglas Jerrold's Newspaper. Fever and dysentery still prevail to a lamentable extent in some districts; but on the whole the mortality appears to be diminishing. Crime on the other hand is inereasiing, and murders and outrages of an aggravated character have become frequent. The agricultural tidings are generally cheering. Excellent though M. Soyer's soup may be for sto- machs containing a basis of solid food, as a dietary for an entire people, even accompanied with a biscuit, it is regarded with much suspicion. Dr. Aldridge, an emi- nent chemist, has delivered a very telling lecture at the Royal Dublin Society against the general application of a vegetable soup,—such as Soyer's, in substance, is for the meat only fulfils the duty of the hammy knife," and gives a poor relish. Dr. A. showed from analysis that the soup prepared in the parish kitchens was better and cheaper, though costing more nominally, because more nutritious. A very distinguished authority in support of these views has just appeared. The cele- brated physician, Sir Henry Marsh, has published a small but conclusive pamphlet in which he says, if soup diet be relied on to any considerable extent, the popula- tion will be carried off by dysentery. Of 2,800 paupers in the North Dublin workhouse, 1,400 are not natives of or have had any claims from residence upon the union the relief committee have decided upon making the rating under the new act uniform, a resolution strenuously opposed by those having property in the rural divisions of the union. The police inspectors have got instructions to report on the quantity of arms held by the peasantry in Ire- land, and on the characters of those who generally possess anii9. This would seem to point towards re- newed legislation against their indiscriminate possession, MOST BARBAROUS MURDERS.—IMMUNITY OF CRIME. —The immunity with which crimes, such as the follow- ing, are committed in Ireland, show" a terrible state of things. We give the facts from the Limerick Chro- nicle :-On Monday morning, about 8 o'clock, im. mediately after three policemen had left the house of P. Ilourigan, for their station at Croom, three armed men entered, in search of Hourigan, who was out. The intruders turned upon his wife, as she sat by the fire to prepare breakfast, and deliberately fired at her, in- flicting a mortal wound in the breast. They then struck the dying woman on the head with their guns, until she lay apparently dead upon the floor. They next turned into a room where the son of the unhappy couple lay on a sick bed, and dragged the lad, about 18 years of age, about the house, and then commanding him to stand against the bed-post, another shot was levelled at him, which entered his head, and he fell at once a victim before his murderers. The murderers then de- parted, regretting they had not got the husband and the father to complete the work. Hourigan's daughter would assuredly have been the third victim, as they were determined to spare no human being in the house, but was in the out-offices milking the cow for her poor mother. This little girl came in as the murderers de- parted, and saw them going ofT, but unperceived by them, and suspecting no harm, the first objects she be- held inside the door were her mother in the agonies of den.th, and her brother a naked corpse. The affrighted child gave the alarm, but before any friend or neighbour came in, Hourigan's wife breathed her last. The afflicted man, Philip Hourigan, at last assizes, brought to conviction four persons for having, in Nov., JSiG, attacked his dwelling by night, aad assaulted him barbarously, in the presence of his wife and children. They broke his skull. These fellows were sentenced to seven years' transportation, the judge having first de- signed to double the penalty, so gross did the outrage appear to him. Hourigan's life was threatened since this prosecution and the magistrates sent the police to protect him and his property during the nights. ♦ —
THE SPANISH ALLIANCE A QUESTION…
THE SPANISH ALLIANCE A QUESTION FOR I EUROPE. [From the Edinburgh Review.) I The marriage of the Infanta with a ifrench prince, although more or less objectionable in principle, might I have passed without much notice or serious opposilion, if no pretensions to control the succession to the throne of Spain had been put forward by the French Govern- ment; but, as explained and maintained, it has very properly called forth remonstrances from the Cabinet of Great Britain, and most undoubtedly ought not to be treated with indifference by the other Cabinets of Eu- rope. The personal character, and the prudence of the present monarch of France, may b? considered as suffi- cient securities that no var, having territorial aggran- disement for its object, will be undertaken while he is at the head of the government of that country but no one is credulous enough to suppose, that the ambition for conquest is entirely extinct in the French nation. The Duke de Broglie, and all French statesmen who have given opinions on the subject, have said that France must be at ease on her Spanish frontier, before she engages with any prospect of success in war on the Rhine, or beyond the Alps. The Duke de Broglie em- phatically says—" If Spain is not with us, she will be against us"—there must be a pacte de famille, or there is no security. Wrar between neighbouring European nations, even in the present state of railways and civilization, is a possible contingency and the circum- stances that might give it rise, and under which mili- tary operations would be conducted, are not to be neglected. Great Britain would, in a contest with France, rather have to deal with France alone, than withFrauce in an alliance with Spain. Prussia,in the same manner, would consider some anxiety on the Spanish frontier, a useful diversion to the application of the undivided military strength of France on the Rhine; and Austria might feel that an alliance with Spain would not be valueless, in the event of the ambition of a future French monarch being directed towards Italy. The independence of Spain cannot, therefore, be altogether indilfeient to continental statesmen who attach any value to the balance of power—or, in othox words, to such a distribution of force and influence among the powers of the first order, as shall discourage the prose- cution of schemes of separate aggrandisement by any one of them. M. Guizot flatters himself, and cndea- vours to persuade the French Chamber, that the English Cabinet stands alone in its objections to the pretensions of the French Government, and to the mai-i-idgc of a French prince with the presumptive heiress to the throne of Spain he takes their silence for assent. We feel confident that he is mistaken the peculiar relation, in which the great continental Powers stand to Queen Isabella, precluded them from taking any part, or ex- pressing any opinion, respecting the marriage of a sovereign with whom they held no diplomatic inter- course but the ambitious character of the French policy in Spain cannot have etcaped their observation, and must have shaken their confidence in the caution and moderation of the King of the French and his minister.

PORTUGAL.—OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE OF BRITISH ARMED INTERVENTION IN PORTUGAL.—We (the Times) have Lisbon news to the 10th instant. Count Tojal, on the part of the Queen and the Goveriiiiieiit, had called on Sir Hamilton Seymour and Admiral Parker, who had placed the British squadron at the Queen's orders, and promised that, the men would land iinmediately^shc desired it, lo protect herself and throne. Tins inter- ference will decide the question. The immediate cause of the demand was the tardiness of the Queen's generals on the Aleintcjo. Up to the period of this important application the same inexplicable apathy bad prevailed. Money was not forthcoming,and the Queen's troops and generals were everywhere at a stand-still. Y cry little more energy was displayed by the insurgents, and it appeared nearly evident that of the two Portuguese parties neither c?uld ,ubdue the other. Ihe possibility of ?Spanish armed intervention had been increasing, and the prompt action of our resident authorities was the consequence, as it was probable that Donna Maria might solicit the aid of troops from Spain. The state of the money-market was deteriorating daily. The discount on Bank of Lisbon notes had risen to 50 per cent. The dearth of bread was equally dispiriting, the price of wheat of the first quality being 147 shillings per English quarter. Distress bad set in, and some measures were taken for the relief of the poor. The four English vessels seized by the blockading squadron at Oporto had been released, with their cargocs (port wine), and sailed for England.

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.…
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. The installation of Prince Albert, as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, will take place some time in July, unless a general election should interfere to prevent this arrangement. The Laureate, William Wordsworth, is to write the Installation Ode, which will be set to music by T. A. Walmisley, Professor of Music in the University. It is stated that the Duke of Wellington, with the Marquis and Marchioness of Douro, will visit Scotland next month. The Emperor of Russia has given orders that the railway from St. Petersburgh to Moscow shall be com- pleted with the greatest activity, and that the number of workmen employed shall be increased by 50,000 soldiers. In Germany the government of one of the southern states has ordered, that athletic schools, to promote the full development of the human frame, should be con- sidered as belonging to the ordinary category of youths' training. It is stated that the slave trade is carried on at pre- sent to an unexampled extent, chiefly in vessels built in the United States, and protected from search by the stars and stripes of the American flag.-The scars and stripes would be a fitter emblem and support of such a trade. The piston cap for the engine manufacturing by the Perran Foundry Company, Cornwall, for the Dutch Government, and intended to be employed in draining Haarlem Lake, weighs nearly twenty-four tons. The Board of Ordnance has given orders to have a spacious liquid manure tank erected at each of the bar- racks throughout the kingdom. Mr. Cubitt has announced himself as a candidate for the representation of Andover. The prospects of the harvest in France are. auspicious. The seed has been sown under favourable circumstances, and the weather, though cold, has not been subject to variations. On the 9th instant, near Maidenhead, for a wager of a thousand guineas, a Mr. Caton trotted a mare called Wonder, ten miles in 34 minutes and 10 seconds. According to the Bath Journal, a gentleman com- moner of Winchester College, whilst helping a friend to discuss a barrel of oysters the other day, hit, uA some- thing hard, which turned out to be a pctll"orth 20U guineas! Hop-poling in Kent is advancing with rapidity. The directors of the Great Western Railway are about to set apart separate carriages for ladies who travel without male escort. The Scotch newspapers announce, with expressions of earnest regret, the insolvency of one of the largest proprietors in Kincardine, the Viscount Arbuthnot, lord-lieutenant of the county. It is not stated how his lordship became involved in embarrassment. Mr. Bradshaw, late M.P. for Canterbury, has by will appointed his wife (formerly Miss M. A. Tree) sole executrix, leaving to her all his property of every de- scription. The personalty was estimated at £ 30,000. The stock of cotton in Liverpool is 277,000 bales less than it was last year at this time. At the commence- ment of the present year the deficiency was 447,000 bales, as compared with the corresponding week in 1846. Letters received from Scotland advise of a most ex- traordinary event. The lord-lieutenant of a Scottish county, and a member of the Scotch peerage, has sud- denly absconded, leaving behind him a mass of bills and securities bearing the forged names of his own son and other relatives. The signatures have been repu- diated by the respective parties. It is reported that large amounts of charity funds are involved in this wreck of the party in question.-Daily News. An extensive seizure of smuggled tobacco has been made on board the Oriental, one of the largest steam- ships belonging to the Peninsular Company, by Mr. Burt, the tide-surveyor at Southampton, concealed be- tween the timbers and the lining of the ship. The ves- sel, which is upwards of sixteen hundred tons burthen, has been placed under detention to await the decision of the Commissioners of Customs, and three of the par- ties concerned in the affair have been convicted, two of whom have paid the penalties, the other being sent to prison for six months, in default of the payment of one hundred pounds. It is said that certain merchants in London, desirous of promoting the cultivation of the potato, have arranged with several farmers in Perthshire, that they (the mer- chants) will furnish the seed on condition that the farmer furnish the ground, manure, labour, &c., and the crop, if any, is to be equally divided between the two parties. Grass lands, in Scotland, have been let for the pre- sent season at higher rents than have been obtained for maaj' years past. Glass, of a rich ruby colour, has been used, instead of the old ebony, for the sharp or flat keys of the organ of All Saints, Northampton. It is suggested that the idea may be happily applied to the whole key-board of the piano-forte, with a tasteful diversity or iridescence of colours. A subscription has been opened at Southampton, on behalf of the widows, orphans, and others dependent hitherto on the sufferers who have unhappily perished with the Tweed X 100 has been already subscribed by the townspeople. Accounts from Alexandria of the 29th ult., announce that on the 22d upwards of 40 vessels laden with corn sailed from that port, mostly bound for England. From the 1st of February to the 6th of April there arrived in Liverpool from Ireland 88,812 persons. There are now on the parish books 11,000 Irish receiv- ing relief. The number of emigrants since January is 29,000.-Live2-pool Standard. At Liverpool alone, within the month just closed, and chiefly towards its close, besides 1S6,1§4 bushels of peas and beans, upwards of 127,0001bs. of bread stuffs were imported from foreign countries. Mr. Brock, treasurer at Glasgow to the Highland Relief Fund, has received £ 10,000 from the British Asso- ciation, making in all from that association the munifi- cent sum of £ 28,000. — Glasgow Argus. Captain Drury, who was employed in Ireland, assist- ing the Board of Works, has fallen a victim to the famine fever in the district of Kinsale. By his decease the Government has lost one of its most able and effi- cient officers. Total abstinence from intoxicating liquors has become so common in the neighbourhood of Horncastle and Spilsbv, in Lincolnshire, that it is difficult to obtain yeast for making bread, and it has been necessary to bring a supply from London. In six trials the German overland mail has had the advantage over the French. Upwards of 6000 German emigrants have, within the last fortnight, passed through Cologne, on their way to Bremen, Havre, and Antwerp, where they vwll take their departure for America. The greater part of them seemed to be rather well off. The town of Minden was lately so full of emigrants that it resembled the camp of a wandering tribe; the streets were iiterauy crammed with baggage and people waiting for the steamers. It is calculated that 120,000 Germans will emigrate this year.—GalignanVs Messenger. A curious scene took place lately at one of M Jullien's concerts in Dublin. Ilerr Pischek was encored, but the maestro refused to permit him to procepd. The aud ience became clamorous, and the maestro called them a six- penny mob." Uproar ensued. Irish bluod is not easily j reconciled to this sort. of insolence, and the next night the audience mustered strongly, and evinced their de- termination to punish the offender. A rotten egg was broken upon his forehead, and, as he turned round, an orange struck him on the cheek. t;0illC of the disturbers were removed by the police, and quiet was restored. It is reported that Sir Robert Peel has been appointed a lay cardinal by the Pope these lay cardinals are ex- pected to visit Rome once a year. The religion of the cardinal in this order is 110 impediment; a Mussulman has already been appointed A letter from Constantinople mentions an act of liberality on the part of the Sultan which does him great credit. Upon hearing of the sufferings of the Irish, the Sultan caused to be handed to the Hon. Mr. Wellesley £1000, to be disposed of by him in the besg^Wly to- wards tlie*li- alleviiitioii. Herald,. A few days ago, at Nedonehel, in the Pays de Calais, a father strangled his two cliildren-the one six, and the other f.iur years old—that he might become pos- sessed of a little property which they had inherited. The total quantity of malt made in 1S46 amounted to I 4,987,3-50 quarters. A Mr. Brc<t has invented a method of printing through the electric telegraph at any distance. A row of keys, similar to those of a piano, marked with letters, correspond, by electric power, with a printing-machine at the other end. Eighty-seven letters per minute, they say, can be printed in good legible type. The Animals' Friend Society, of 457, Strand, has just learned that since its communication with his Ma- jesty the King of Prussia, cock-fighting has been sup- pressed in that country by law, as it comes within the limitation of the act against cruelty to animals, lately made at the express command of his Majesty. It is stated that there is a perfect glut of wheat in St. Petersburg a superfluity surdcient to load 900 or 1,000 vessels. The marriage of the Rev. II. G. Bunsen, son of the Chevalier Bunsen,-His Prussian Majesty's Minister at the Court of St. James's, to Miss Battersby, daughter of Mr. Abraham Gray Harford Battersby, the wealthy banker of Bristol, took place on Tuesday week at the parish church, Westbury-upon-Trim. The nuptial ce- remony was performed by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Biistol. After the marriage the happy pair set out for Barley-wood, Wrington. A correspondent of Jen-obi's paper (" Loup") says, Talk of statues to royal dukes, and men-killing dukes —rubbish Whore's the statu,- to Jeiiner What are nbout The new House of Lords having been opened only on Thursday, their lordships have not yet settled down quietly in their seats; one of them, indeed, the Bishop of London, was so unprepared for the pillowy luxury of his new cushion, that he slipped off and measured his length on the floor. Quod dii bene vei-taii t The Church of England Journal pronounces the power of nominating bishops, usurped by Henry VIII., as most baneful to the church, and at the root of every evil. The Queen gives a Bal Costume in the month of June, to represent the Elizabethan period. The amount of contributions already received from collections made in the churches under the Queen's Letter is officially stated at £ 150,000. The Bank of England has given notice that its minimum rate of interest will be L5 per cent. Mr. O'Connell has arrived at Lyons, where he will rest for a few days. According to the Times' correspondent, Queen Christina has written to her daughter Isabella accusing her of ingratitude, but attributing it to her defective education. Queen Isabella replies that she did not edu- cate herself. The Cork Reporter mentions, as a singular fact, that 1,000 barrels of American flour imported direct to that city were shipped for Liverpool on Saturday last. Tuesday's Gazette contains a Treasury warrant, de- claring Runcorn to be a port, and appointing certain limits and places to be legal quays. On Saturday last, M. Sover was entertained at a pub- lic dinner in Dublin, and an elegant snuff-box presented to him, as an acknowledgment of his services to Ireland. In a thanks-returning speech the Regenerator dwelt ou the humanising influence of a good dinner. At St. Bees there are, it is stated, about thirty ex- dissenting preachers, all studying for the church ministry. The Cheltenham Bazaar for the relief of the Irish was highly successful; nearly £1,000 having been realised in three days. DREADFUL DISASTER.—-A letter from Alberstadt, in Saxony,dated the 29th ult., states that the town of Werni- gerode, distant twelve miles, had been set on fire by lightning, and that the flames raged for fifteen hours, (notwithstanding sixteen engines were set to work upon them,) with such irresistible force, that 244 houses, seven children, and a servant, were burnt to death, and many horses and other cattle perished in the flames. DESTRUCTION OF THE DROGHEDA STEAMER GRANA UILE.-Loss OF FORTY LiNEs.-We deeply regret to announce that the steamer Royal Albert, at Liverpool, on Thursday morning, from Dublin, reports the de- struction of the steamer Grana Vile, plying between this port and Drogheda, by fire, on Wednesday morning. The Gtgna Uile left Liverpool on Tuesday night, at f p.ro I I- *i '.fh about eighty souls on board, and had not proceeded more than a third of her voyage when she was discovered to be on fire and so rapid were the flames that she was burnt to the water's edge, and sunk before 6 a.m. About forty lives were saved by a fishing-boat, which fortunately came to their assistance, and nearly as many more were lost, including her commander, Capt Bowden, who has left a wife and four children. THE FRENCH STEEPLE CIlAsr.The annual French steeple chase was run at the Croix de Berny on Sunday, the 11th instant. It is supposed that no less than 30,000 persons were present, including a great many English. The ground was covered with equipages and vehicles of every kind, and presented a brilliant ap- pearance, in spite of the drenching rain which fell throughout the whole day. The entire length of the run was about four miles, including not fewer than 32 obstacles, such as ditches, hedges, hurdles, walls, brooks, and rivers. Ten horses started, seven of which belonged to English proprietors. Lord Strathmore's St. Leger won by half a neck. A second steeple chase followed five horses, two of them English. Won by a French horse, Victress. In their own country," says the Times, none of the persons concerned would h:i çe dared to outrage public opinion by an indecency for which there is no excuse, and which seems to have been prompted by a spirit of vulgar bravado towards those rules of decorum which it is convenient for the unscru- pulous to set down to the score of prej udice. We do not see that the distance of a few hours' journey ought to make any difference whatever in the manner of viewing a proceeding which would be fatal to character at home, and we therefore consider the parties in this affair as blamable as if they had perpetrated their profanation of the Sabbath at Newmarket or Doncaster." AMERICAN IRON.-The first bar of American railroad iron was made in 1844, and an American paper now states that there are at present 16 or 18 mills, at which it is made at the rate of about 120,000 tons per annum. This amount is sufficient to lay four miles of railroad per day, or ITtKT miles per JT:t,;u mid hence the prospect of any large exportation from Great Britain at the prices to which our ordinary railway speculations have driven this commodity can hardly be looked for. There is one iron manufacturing company in Pennsylvania which alone consumes 60,000 tons of anthracite and 100,000 bushels of bituminous coal annually. ADVERTISING FLOUR.—At a "protracted religious meeting," hzld in all American city, Brother W a staid, respectable man, rose to exhort. He said- Brethren and sisters, it is our duty to attend im- mediately to the ensuring of our salvation, and in order to do this, we must believe in the scriptures. Brethren, I fully believe in them, as fully as I do that I shall receive for sale to-morrow 2000 barrel, of Iloward- st. flour, and very good flour it will be, too," ORIGIN OF THE PICKWICK PAPERS.—It is not, we believe, generally known that the Pickwick Papers originated with the artist—poor Seymour, who, having executed seven or eight etchings, sought a purchaser for them, and sent forth his wife for the purpose of finding one. She entered, by chance, the shop of Chapman and Hall, Strand, and submitted the designs, which were at once accepted; subsequently application was made to Mr. C. Dickens to accompany them with letter-press, and immortal Pickwick was the result. The first eight illustrations to this book only are by Mr. Seymour. Some two or three months after the first number appeared, and when the author was car- rying all before him, the artist rose early one morning, walked into the garden, and shot himself. Such arc the ups and downs" of life. Fame and 't'ortune to the one suicide to the other, and penury to his wife and children! Poor Seymour! at the very moment when he was about to reap the harvest he had been sowing for years of anxious and almost incredible labour, his mind gave way, and he quilted existence, leaving behind him only the reputation of a clever caricaturist, which had he lived, prosperity would have changed to that of a high moral teacher by art. We have been told that he produced no fewer than ten thousand etchings and drawings on wood yethis name is now almost forgotten, and, if reference be made to the commencing prints in Pickwick, it is, with the mass of its readers, only to wonder who this Mr. Seymour was and what became of him. He left a widow and two children to struggle with poverty—a terrible struggle it has becu-altliotigli the Artists' Benevolent Fund liberally came to their i-el,icf.-At-t Union Journal. THE BITER BIT.i)r. M., an army surgeon during the American war,, was very Lmd of a joke (if not per- petrated at his own expense), and had, moreover, a great contempt for citizen-officers, who were more renowned for their courage than their scholarship. One day, at mess, after the decanter had performed sundry perambulations of the tabl\ Captain S., a brave and accomplished officer, and a great wag, remarked to the Doctor (who had been somewhat severe in his remarks on the literary deficiencies of some of the new officers)- Doctor M., are you acquainted with Captain G.?" Yes, I know him well," replied the Doctor, he's one of the new set. But what of him ?" Nothing in particular," replied Captain S. "I have just received a letter from him, and I will wager J ou a dozen of old port that you cannot guess in six guesses how he spells cat." Done," said the Doctor, its a wager. Well commence guessing," said S."K,a,t." "no" "K, a,double t." No." K, a, t, e." No,try again." "C, a, t,t, c." No, you have missed it again." 11 Well, then," returned the Doctor, C, a, double t." No, that's not the way try again—it's yourlast guess." C,a,g,h,t." No," said S., that's not the way you have lost the wager." 11 Well," said the Doctor, with much petu- lance of manner, how the d-l does he spell it ?" Why, he spells it C, a, t," replied S. with the utmost gravity. Amid the roar of the mess, and almost choking with rage, the Doctor sprang to his feet, ex- claiming, Captain S., I am too old a man to be trified with in this manner." THE INDOLENT kN.-Tlie idle man is the most barren piece of earth in the orb. There is no creature that hath life, but is busied in some action for the benefit of the restless world. Even the most veno- mous and most ravenous things that are, have their commodities as well as their annoyances; and they are ever engaged in some action, which both profiteth the world and continues them in their nature's courses. Even the vegetables, wherein calm nature dwells, have their turns and times in fructifying; they leaf, they flower, they seed. Nay, creatures quite inanimate are (some) the most laborious in their motion. With what a cheerful face the golden sun chariots through the rounding sk: How perpetual is the maiden moon, in her just and horned mutations! The fire, how restless in his quick and catching flames! in the air what transitions! and tew fluctuous are the salted waves.
