Please to send me one dozen boxes bv post. as some are waiting fur them. One friend, named Amy Calamore, subject to Asthma, had a box last week, and has already received great benefit from them, although she did not take the whole, as she dividerl the box among some of her neighbours.

From Mr Edward Pae, Direr' tor of the Choir and Organist of St. Peter's Catholic Church. Leamington, June 21st, 1848. Gentlemen—Having frequently suffered much from relax- ation of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various preparations; but since I have hid the good fortune to try Dr. Loeock s Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to resort to them, for the extraordinary good effects thpy have produced are most surpri<iag-. Even when the throat apnears to be completely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three (at most four) will, ia the short space of half an hour or so, completely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons will finrl immense benefit from the general and persevering use of it.

Extract of a Letter from Mr. Thomas Brunton, landlord of the Waterloo Tavern, Coatham, Yorkshire, late of the Life Guards, dated September 28th, 1848. To Professor HOLLOWAY, Sir-For a long time I was a Martyr to Rheumatism and Rheumatic Gout, and for ten weeks previous to usintr your medicines, I was so bad as not to be able to walk I had tried doctoring and medicines, of every kind but all to no avail, indeed I daily got worse, and felt that I must shortly die. From seeing your remedies advertised in the paper I take in, I thought I would give them a trial- I did so. I rubbed the Ointment in as directed, and kept cabbage leaves to the parts thickly sp?d l-.V. it S directed, and kept cabbage leaves to the parts th.kl?P? with it, and took the pills night i morning. in three weeks I was enabled to walk about for an ho? or two in the day with a stick, and in seven weeks I could go any where without one. I am now, by the blessing of God and your medicines, quite well, and have been attending to my business for more than seven months, without any symptoms of the return of mv old complaint. Besides my case of Rheumatic Gout, I have lately had proof that your Pills and Ointment will heal any old wound or ulcer, as a married woman, living near me, had had a bad led for four years, which no one could cure, and I gave her some of your Pills and Ointment, which soundly healed it when nothing else would do it. For your information I had the honour to serve my coun- try for twenty-five years in the first regiment of Life Guards, and was eighteen years a corporal. I was two years in the Peninsula War, and was at the Battle of Waterloo. I was discharged with a pension on the 2nd September, 1833. The commanding Officer at the time, was Colonel Lygon, who is now a General. I belonged to the troop of Captain the Honorable Henry Baring. (Signed) THOMAS BRUNTON. Cure of a Bad Leg of Twenty-one Years' standing. Extract of a Letter from Mr. Andrew Brack, Blacksmith, Eyemouth, near Berwick, dated the 10th of Aug., 1848. To Professor Holloway, Sir—With pleasure and gratitude I have to inform you that after suffering for twenty-one years with a bad leg, which yielded to no kind of treatment, although I consulted, at different times, every medical man of emi- nence in this part of the country, but all to no purpose. I was frequently unable to work; and the pain and agony I often endured no one can tell. My leg is now as sound as ever it was in my life by means of your Pills and Ointment, which I purchased from Mr. 1. Davidson, Druggist, Berwick-upon-Tweed, who knows my case well, and will, I am sure, be happy to certify with me, if necessary, as to the truth of this wonderful cure. (Signed) ANDREW BLACK. Amputation of Two Toes Prevented. Extract of a Letter from Mr. Oliver Smith Jenkins, dated Falkirk, August 13th, 1848. Sir,—I was superintending about six months ago, the erection of one of our Railway Bridges, and by the fall of a large stone my right foot was seriously bruised, which ultimately got so bad that I was advised to go to Edinburgh to consult some of the eminent Surgeons, which I did, and was told that in order to save my foot, two Of ("V toes must be taken off. In despair, I returned home to impart the melancholy news to my wife, intend- ing to submit to the operation it was then a thought struck me to try your valuable Ointment and Pills, which I did, and was by their means in three weeks enabled to resume mv usual occupation, and at this time my toes are perfectly cnred. (Signed) OLIVER SMITH JENKINS. An Extraordinary Cure of a desperate Skin Disease. On the 21st July, 1848, the Editor of the "Mofussilite" Newspaper, published in India, inserted the following Editorial article in his paper. We know for a fact, that Holloway's Pills and Ointment act in a most wonderful manner upon the constitution, as an eccentric Coolie, called Eliza, employed in our Establishment, was affected with myriads of Ringworms, which defied all the Meerut Doctors, and promised to devour the poor man before lie was underground we tried Holloway" upon him, and in a month he was perfectly restored to his former con- dition and cleanliness of skin. The effect was mira- culous.

I LAUNCH OF THE BRITANNIA…
I LAUNCH OF THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE. The gigantic achievement of floating this colossal structure from the platform on which it was constructed to the bed between the towers in the Menai Straits, where it is henceforth to hang suspended at a vast height over the tide-way, has been successfully accom- plished during the past week. Tuesday was at first appointed for the work, but the enormous difficulty of the task, and some trifling accident caused by the breaking of the principal capstan, caused its full ac- complishment to be delayed until Wednesday night at high tide. Many thousand spectators, including a vast number of professional engineers and amateur men of science, assembled in the neighbourhood, and so crowded were the towns on the coast that beds fetched as much as a guinea a night. The Marquis of Ane esey enter- tained a distinguished circle at his seat of Pias Newycld. Sir R. Peel was among the guests. Capt. Claxton and Mr. L, Clark, the engineer, directed the vast crowd of workmen employed in the duties of launching and guiding the monster tube to its destination, while the talented inventor and constructor of the work, Mr. Stephenson, superintended the whole. The following brief account of this stupendous fabric may prove in- teresting at this moment:— During the early part of Tuesday multitudes visited the towers, tubes, and huge stages, where they were constructed, with a view to possess themselves of every information connected with the apparatus and vast piles of masonry. The masonry work, by reason of its gi- gantic character, attracted great attention. The abut- ments, on either side of the straits, are huge piles of masonry. That on the Anglesea side is 143 feet high, and 173 feet long. The wing walls of both terminate in splendid pedastalry, and on each are two colossal lions couchant, of Egyptian design, lifting their limestone foreheads in the face of every train. These lions, like the tube they adorn, are on a gigantic scale, each being 25 feet long 12 feet high, though crouched, 9 feet abaft the body, and each paw 2 feet 4 inches. Each weighs 30 tons.. There is some intention of surmount- ing the central tower with a colossal figure of Britannia, 60 feet high. The towers for supporting the tube are of a like mag- nitude with the entire work. The great Britannia Tower in the centre of the straits is 62 by 52 feet at its base its total height from the bottom, 230 feet it con- tains 148,625 cubic feet of limestone, and 144,625 of sandstone it weighs 20,000 tons; and there are 387 tons of cast iron built into it in the shape of beams and girders. Its province is to sustain the four ends of the four long iron tubes which will span the straits from shore to shore. The total quantity of stone contained in the bridge is 1,500,000 cubic feet. The side towers stand at a clear distance of 460 feet from the great cen- tral tower and again, the abutments stand at a distance from the side towers of 230 feet, giving the entire bridge a total length of 1,819 feet, corresponding with the date of this present year of grace. The side or land towers are each 62 by 52 feet at the base, and 160 feet high they contain 210 tons of cast iron. Another point of attraction was the huge stages and scaffolding, probably the most extensive ever con- structed. They are of the same character as that em ployed at the New Houses of Parliament. The se.ii- folding of the towers is very lofty, and the weight it has to support is 1,300 tons. The framing round the Britannia Tower rise6 to the vast height of nearly 250 feet. The entire scaffolding is capable of sustaining 2,000 tons. There are in it 570,000 cubic feet of tim- ber and 20 tons of iron bolts. The chief centre of attraction, however, was the interior and exterior of the novel and gigantic tubes presenting the appearance of stupendous iron tunnels. As these were the lions of the day, much interest will attach to its disposition, and a description of the one in question will be a description of them all. The length of the great tube transported on Wednesday is exactly 470 feet, being 12 feet longer than the clear span between the towers, and the greatest span as yet attempted. This additional length is intended to afford a temporary bearing of 6 feet at each end, after they are raised into their places, nntil there is time to form the connexion between them across the towers. Their greatest height is in the centre 30 feet, and diminishing towards the end to 22 feet. Each tube consists of sides, top, and bottom, all formed of long-, narrow wrought-iron plates, varying in length from 12 feet downward. The direc- II thll in which these plates are laid and rivetted together- is governed by the direction of the stratus owidn dife- rent parts of tile tube. They are of the same mauutee- ture as those far making bailers, Tying in thickness from three-eighth* to three-founlis of an inch- S-jme of them weigh nearly 7 cwt., and are among the largest it is possible to roll with any existing machinery. In the sides the plates are 6 and 8 feet long, and half an inch thick, but the longest plates are in the bottom, being 12 feet long, by 2 feet 4 inches wide, are in double hyers. At the top they are 6 feet in length and 1 font 9 inches in breadth. The connexion between top, bot- tom, and sides, is made much more substantial by tri- angular pieces of thick plate, rivetted in across the corners, to enable the tube to resist the cross or twUtiiig strain to which it will be exposed from the heavy and long continued gales of wind that, sweeping up the Channel, will assail it in its lofty and unprotected posi- tion. The rivets, of which there are 2,000,000, each tube containing 327,000, are more than an inch in dia- meter. They are placed in rows, and were put in the holes red hot, and beaten with heavy hammers. In cooling, they contracted strongly, and drew the plates together so powerfully that it required a force of from four to six tons to each rivet to cause the plates to slide over each other. The total weight of wrought iron in the tube floated yesterday is 1,600 tons. It has been constructed by Messrs. Garforth, of Dunkinfield, Man- cher,r, and the others by Mr. C. Mare, of Blackwall. The trains will pass through them over the straits at 100 feet above high water.

BOAT FOK HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS- 1 ¡ ¡ PRINCE OF WALES.—By command of His Royal Kiehness Prince Albert, Mr. H. G. Robinson, Captain Light, Captain Smith, R.N., and Mr. C. Manby, Secretary of the Insti- tution of Civil Engineers, attended at Ejckingham Palace, on Friday morning, to present a beautiful life boat, constructed on a peculiar principle, for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The following are the dimensions of the boat:— Feet. Inches. Length over all 20 0 Ditto on the keel. 17 4 Breadth at the main th wart. 3 2i Dittoatthebackboardthwart. 2 11 f Ditto at the ruwlock 3 71 Det)th- 0 lli She was built by Messrs. George Searle and Sons, of Lambeth, boat builders to Her Majesty, and is con- structed of bird's-eye maple, the linings, sax boards, and thwarts being of Spanish mahogany; her keel band, stem band, and rudder hangings are of bronze, the rud- der of maple, with a carved yoke, gilt, and silk lines and tassels of crimson and gold colour. She is also fitted with an elegantly carved chair, the seat of which is covered with crimson satin damask, with an elaborate pattern in raised velvet of the same colour, the back being supported by the Prince of Wales' feathers, car- ved in maple and heightened with gold. The rowing mat is of the same material as the cushion of the chair, ?nd there is a small foot ottoman of Utrecht velvet. The sculls are of mahogany, and very light. The boat, which is a single sculling skiff," is lined throughout between the timbers with Captain Light's patent mate- rial, which gives to her all the buoyancy and other pro- perties of a life boat. In some recent trials of this principle on the boats for the Preventive service at Deal it was found to render them extremely buoyant, and at the same time to stiffen them so much under canvas that it is determined to adopt it for the service gene- rally, as the duties upon which these boats are employed are such that they are constantly in danger of being swamped but the recent experiments showed that when the boats were lined with Light's buoyancy material they were capable of carrying a full complement of hands with much more dead weight than usual, and yet when filled gunwale deep with water could not be submerged. The same principle has been extensively used in the construction of life belts, buov?. &c., and for the stuffing yacht cushions, mattresses, &e. and as the material used is merely light tough reeds properly prepared, and only three-fifths the weight of cork, no injury can ensue from puncture or cutting, as with air I cushions, or the destruction of the elasticity, as in the case of cork shavings. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—We understand that this ) vessel has been purchased by Mr. Collins, of London, for £ 20,000, and that he has contracted, at a further ex- pense of E22,000, to have her fitted out for sea. She is to ply between this port and New York.—Liverpool Mail. BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE.^A man, who is very rich now, was very poor when he was a boy. When asked how he got his riches, he replied, My Father taught me never to play till my work was finished, and never to spend money till I had earned it. If I had but half an hour's work to do in the day, I must do that the first thing and in half an hour. After this 1 was allowed to play; and I could then play with much more pleasure than if I had the thought of an unfinished task before my mind. I early formed the habit of duinn everything in its time, and it soon became perfectly easy to do. It is to this habit I owe my prosperityLet every boy who reads thia-go and do likewise, and he will meet a similar reward SOYER OUTDONE. — At a vegeterian banquet, held some short time since, the dinner consisted of potatoes, rice, cheesecakes, fruit pies, and puddings, &c., and pure water, the whole of which were made by the ladies connected with the Society.

Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert on Saturday afternoon visited their illus- trious relative the Queen Dowager, who is at present staying at the Calverley Hotel, Tunbridge-wells. Her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians landed at Dover on Monday morning, from Ostend, and travelled to town via the South Eastern Railway, on a visit to her Majesty and the Prince Consort, at Buckingham Palace. It is stated that the Comptroller-General of the Coast Guard has obtained a retirement" of E30 per annum for old officers, who have served ten years in the Coast Guard, and so on in a certain proportion for every other ten years they may have been in the same service, the veterans being about 60 years of age £ 1400 has been subscribed in Leicestershire, for the erection of a bronze statue of the Duke of Rutland, on a granite pedestal, in the market-place :of Leicester. The noble Duke has just entered the 50th year of his Lord Lieutenancy. It is semi-officially announced that Parliament will not he prorogued before August. blaior-General Conyers, C.B., has been appointed to command the troops in the Ionian Islands. This gal- lant officer was employed as colonel on the staff under Lieut.-G eneral Lord Seaton, G.C.B., and in consequence of hh1 lordship's retirement, Mr. Ward having succeeded hitri tjjher Majesty's Lord High Commissioner, it has I unged that the military aSairs on that station sffould he conducted by the Major-General. r Mf Percival Carleton is appointed stipendiary ma- miw&te in Dominica.

Rowan is to succeed the late Sir Benjamin D'Urban as Commander-in-Chief of the Army in Canada, with the local rank of Lieutenant-General. With regard to the other military vacancies nothing is as yet settled. A singular feat of swimming took place lately at Hincksey, Wm. Aldridge, a whitesmith and bellhanger, of Oxford, undertook for a wager to swim across Hincksey stream, at a part where the water is twenty yards wide and eighteen feet deep, with his hands and legs tied together, and he performed the task with appa- rent ease, and much to the astonishment of all the spectators. The Tepic, which has arrived at Liverpool from Val- paraiso, has brought gold from San Francisco to the amount of E40,000 or E50,030 sterling. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge 1 have granted £2,000 towards the endowment of St. Augustine's Missionary College, Canterbury, and E2000 to be applied towards the support of two students in that institution. Gun Cotton dissolved in an alkali will precipitate metals from their solutions; and, by floating over-glass plates solutions of silver or mercury, to which the gun cotton solution has been added, mirrors of a very fine description are readily manufactured. The select committee appointed to inquire into the practicability of providing, by means of the commercial steam marine of the country, a reserve steam navy, available for the national defence when required," have reported that the measure is practicable and desirable, but that the necessary steps and the remuneration to be paid by the public for holding these vessels liable for war purposes must be a matter of arrangement between the government and the owners.

A marble statue of Wesley has been erected at the Wesleyan Theological Institution at Richmond, Surrey. At the conclusion of the trial of Wm. Hamilton, for shooting at the Queen, a person named O'Keefe, the owner of the pistol, applied to the court to order the weapon to be restored to him, as he said he had been offt-red E40 for it, and he should not like to lose so much money. Of course, the weapon was returned to the owner. A Scotch writefi who has had some experience to qualify him for speaking on the subject, says,—" If you have not chosen a profession, do not become an editor. Beg-take the pack-take lodgers—take up a school— set up a mangle—trade in washing. For humanity's sake, and especially your own, d ) anything rather than become a newspaper editor."

The Prince armed prteiselv at m (in, and was greeted with a roysl Aahit* from the guns, mid the loud ehcers of thnti I ptwen'- !I) tha 'Il'g the r"rpe*dined together The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have sustained a severe domestic affiiction by the sudden demise of their youngest daughter, the Lady Alexandrina Lerewa Gower. The deceased child was taken ill in the cours* of Thursday morning (the day after the nuptials of the Marquis of Stafford and Miss Hay Mackenzie), never rallied, and died within a few hours. This unespee& £ bereavement has cast a heavy gloom over the domestic circle, and put an end to the anticipated gaieties at Stafford House. The duke and duchess and. family remain for the present at Cliefden House, near Maiden* head, where the melancholy event took place. A bag of letters is now made up every afternoon (Sundays excepted) at the Post-office, London, for Ire- land. The bag, which is despatched by the express train, which leaves Euston-square at five o'clock, arrives in Dublin early the following morning. It has been calculated that, in Cardiganshire, only 3,000 people out of 68,766 speak English. Samuel Morton Peto, Esq., Loriner, and Donald Nicoll, Spectacle Maker, were on Monday elected, by a show of hands, to serve the office of Sheriffs of London and Middlesex for the ensuing year. Dr. W. B. Carpenter, in a lecture at the Ipswich Museum, allowed the possession of reason to a certain extent, in animals. He instanced that the young ladies in a Bristol school used to lunch in the garden at twelve, and crumb-picking sparrows congregated a little before but on Sundays, as the girls did not lunch, the sparrow* never appeared. Edward Marum, an engraver, has been committe d for trial upon a charge of forging notes on the Bank of Ireland, and other banks. One plate found in his possession, took him nine months in engraving. The prisoner served his time to a transported forger of notes, and his brother's wife is in prison for passing forged notes. For the better regulation of the convicts, rt has been resolved that those who conduct themselves badly are to be immediately transferred to another yard. It is also intended to change their stations often, that they may not have an opportunity of associating with those with whom they become acquainted when working for any length of time in the same gangs. A number of convicts left Woolwich on Saturday for Portsmouth, and a number arrived at Woolwich on Saturday from Portsmouth, being the first exchange made in pMrett- ance of orders from the authorities. A soldier of Marshal Saxe's army. being discovered in a theft, was condemned to be h;iaed. What he had stolen might have been worth five shillings. The Mar- shal, meeting him as he was being led to execution, said to him, "What a miserable wretch you must be to risk your life for five shillings General," replied the soldier, I have risked it every day for fivepence." This repartee saved his life. AN ESCAPE FUOM BURIAL ALIVE.—The cholera itt raging in the village of Arlingham, Gloucestershire. A singular incident occurred there last week. A child named Phillips, who was supposed to be dead, was laid out with her mother, who had died of cholera, and the bodies were about to be buried. The father, however, while bearing some burning tar through the house, said the child moved it gradually recovered, and is now living. GLOUCESTER, ABERTSTWITH, AND CENTRAL RAIL- WAY.—The Hon. H. F. Fitzhardinge Berkeley M.P., has petitioned the Lord Chancellor to order that the affairs of this Company may be wound up under the Winding up Act of 1848, and the prayer of the petiiioner being granted, it was referred to Mr. W. J. Tinney, Master in Chancery. The petition is a document of extraor- dinary length, and states in the preamble that the company was formed in 1845, for the purpose of making a railway communication from Cardigan to Aberystwitn capital, 91,2,50,000, to be divided into 500,000 shares of £25 each; deposit, El 7s 6d. per share. The petition stated that the surveyor of the company had assured the directors that the gradients would be very easy and facile, and the expense of making the railway unusually low. &. However, after all the necessary preliminary expenses had been incurre d, and every precaution taken, provisional committee believed, to insure success, it appeared at the eleventh hour that the standing orders of the House of Commons had not j,¡,'P[} complied with, as the maps, plans, and sections had been found im- perfect. ItOTX, VISIT TC NORFOLK HOUSE.—Her Majesty and the Brince Consort last week dinei with the Duke and DncSess of Noxfolk, at their residence in Saint James's-square, the birt'i-plaoe of George III. The jruesis invited to the banquet numbered, besides her Majesty and Piince Albert and suite, and the Duchess of Kent and attendants, thirteen, ircluding the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert and Lady Peel The ban. quet was succeeded by a grand ball, for which invita. 1tiong were issued to about 203 leading members of the j aristocracy. Among those present were the Msrqui* of Anglesey and Lady Adelaide Paget, the Crxinteas of Lichfield and Lady Harriet Anson, the Ear) and Countess Granville, Viscount Anson, Lord and Lady Alfred Paget, Lord George Paset. Mr. George Edward and Hon. Mrs. Anson, Mr. F. Peel, M. P., and Miss Peel. The ball was opened with a quadrille, her Ma- jesty leading off with Lord Edward Fitzalan Howard, and the Prince Consort dancing with the Lady Mary Fitzalan Howard. Her Majesty subsequently danced in the Stradella qurdrille with the Marquess of K-ildare. In the Gubel" quadrille, her Majesty honoured Lord Alfred Paget with her hand. The Q-teen afterwards danced with the Earl Grosvenor, and from the moment her Majesty entered the ball-room until midnight, the period at which she took her departure, the Queen omitted to dance but once, and that when a polka wat played. We regret to state that Lord John Russell was seized with a fainting fit in the ball-room about eleven o'clock, and carried out insensible. His lordship speedily revived when brought into the open air, and shortly afterwards left in company with Lady Joha Russell, for his mansion in Chesham-place. Lusus NATURM.-WE have to record a lusus tfatttrw of which in modern times, the Sicilian twins, Ritta Christina, and the Siamese brothers were the most memorable instances. At Eerneghem, a village three leagues from the town of Bruges, forming nearly the central point between Bruges, Thourout, and Ostend, were born on the 28th ult., two children of the female sex compactly united to each other. The fwo bodiee join at the sides; the ligature union beginning a little below the right breast of the one and the left breast of the other, and continue as far as the navel, so that the children do not look at each other in the face, but are turned one towards the other in an oblique position. Their heads, arms, thighs, and legs are perfectly free, and they have the proper use of all their limbs, and their position is such as to permit their mother to nurse both at the same time without difficulty. The curate of the parish baptised them on the day of their birth, in the names of Marie and Sophie. The parents are poor servants, working and residing in a small farm held by an old bachelor. The husband's name is Tanghe his wife, aged about 38 years, has four children. The birth has made some considerable noise in the neighbourhood and the curious already begin to besiege the farm house where it took place -B?-ussels Herald. SELLING AND WRITING Music.-Weber was one day invited to a dinner party by a well-known London music publisher, who had reaped a little profit by the publication of his Oberon, and whose residence and establishment were on the most splendid scale. On entering the gorgeously-furnished drawing-room, out modest German opened his eyes to their fullest extent, and, looking round, sighed softly, at the same time saying to himself, Ai. I perceive it is better to sell than write music.Ilemoraitda of a Musician. A DISTINCTION.—A Roman ecclesiastic, in reply ta whatever question might be proposed, began by saying, I make a distinction." A cardinal, having invited him to dine, proposed to derive some amusement for the company from the well-known peculiarity of his guest. Saying to him that he had an important ques- tion to propose, he asked, Is it. under any circum- stances, lawful to baptise in soup?" I make a die. tinc'ion," said the priest if you ask, is it lawful to baptise in soup in general, I say no if you ask, is it lawful to baptise in your excellency's soup, I say yes 1 for there is really no difference between it and water."
