Noble, Esq., Mayor of Boston, Lincolnshire. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY, Dear Sir,—Mrs. Sarah Dixon of Liquorpond-street, Bos- ton, has this day deposed before me that for a considerable period she was severely afflicted with Scrofulous Sores and Ulcers in her arms, feet, legs, and other parts of her body and although the first of medical advice was obtained, at the cost of a large sum of money, she obtained no abatement of suffering, but gradually grew worse. Being recommended by a friend to try your Ointment, she procured a small pot, and a box of the Pills, and before that was all used, symptoms of amendment appeared. By pel- severing with the medicine for a short time longer, accord- ing to the directions, and strictly adhering to your rules as to diet, &c., she was perfectly cured, and now enjoys the best of health. I remain, Dear Sir, yours truly, Dated August 12th, 1852. (Signed) J. NOBLE. AN EXTRAORDINARY AND RAPID CURE OF ERYSIPELAS IN THE LEG, AFTER MEDICAL AID HAD FAILED. Copy of a Letter from. Mrs. Elizabeth Yeates, of the Post O?ee, Aldwick 'lad, near Bognor, <S'MM?, Dated Jannary 12th, 1853. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY, Sir,—I suffered for a considerable period from a severe attack of Erysipelas, which at length settled in my leg, and resisted all medical treatment. My sufferings were very great, and I quite despaired of any permanent amendment, when I was advised to have recourse to your Ointment and Pills. I did so without delay, and am happy to say the re- sult was eminently successful, for they effected a radical cure of my leg and restored me to the enjoyment of health. I shall ever speak with the utmost confidence of your medi- cines, and have recommended them to others in this neigh- bourhood similarly afflicted, who derived uqual bcnefit, I am, Sir, your obedient and faithful servant, (Signed) ELIZABETH YEATES. A DREADFUL DISEASED ANCLE CURED AFTER BEING GIVEN UP BY THE FACULTY, AT MALTA AND PORTSMOUTH HOS- PITALS. The following important communication has been forwarded to Professor Holloway for publication, by Mr. B. Dixon Chemist, King-street, Norwich. Copy of a Letter from Captain Smith of Great Yarmouth, dated January 19th, 1853. To Mr: Dixon, Dear Sir,—I send you the particulars of a cure effected by Professor Holloway's invaluable medicinek: Mr. John Walton, late in Her Majesty's Service, in the British Fleet at Malta, had a very bad ulcerated ancle, and after having been in the Malta, Hospital for six months, was sent to England as an invalid to Portsmouth Hospital, where he remained an inmate four months, there, as at Malta, re- fusing so have the limb amputated, he was turned out incurable. He then came to Yarmouth, and was under a medical gentleman for about three months, but his ancle became so much worse that all hope was lost. At this period, by my advice, he tried Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which by unremitted application, healed all the ulcers, and restored him to perfect health and strength. I remain, Dear Sir, yours very truly, Albert Hotel, Great Yarmouth, (signed) JOHN SMITH. SURPRISING CURE OF A BAD BREAST, NERVOUS DEBILITY AND GENERAL ILL-HEALTH. Copy of a Letter from Mr. T. F. Ker, Chemist, fye., Lower Moss-lane, Manchester, dated Feb. 12th, 1853. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY, Dear Sir,—I have great pleasure in forwarding to you the particulars of a very extraordiuary cure of a bad breast effected solely by the use of your celebrated Ointment and Pills. Mrs. Martha Bell, of Pitt-street, in this town, had been for a considerable time labouring under nervous de- bility, loss of appetite, and general ill-health, occasioned by ulcerated wounds in the breast. She had had much experience in the use of all the known remedies for the cure of ulcers, but without any beneficial result, in fact she had nearly lost all faith and hope of a -cure being effected. In this dis- tressing and painful condition of body and mind, she was pursuaded to have recourse to your invaluable Ointment and Pills, which she immediately did, and in the course of a very short time the effect produced was most astonishing; her appetite was speedily improved the sores and ulcers in breast gradually healed, and the nervous excitement of her system was wholly removed. I remain, Dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) T. FORSTER KER. The Pills should be used conjointly with the Oiutment in most of the following cases:— Bad Legs Bad Breasts Burns Bunions Bite of Mos- chetoes and Sand Flies Coco-bay Chiego-foot Chilbains, Chapped-bands 4 Corns (Soft), Cancers Contracted and Stiff Joints EleDhantiasis Fistulas Gout lings Glandular Swel- Lumbago Plies Rheumatism Scald Sore Nipples Sore Throats Skin-diseases Scurvy Sore-heads TunTJrs Ulcers Wounds Yaws.

To MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND, LONDON. DEAR SIR,—I send you the enclosed; perhaps it will be t 7 worth your while to publish it. An extraordinary case of cure from Rheumatic Gout by Blair's Pills has recently come under my notice. A young girl, about 18 years of age, was dreadfully afflicted; so much so, that she could not move without the most excruciating pain. She was in this state some little time, and had medical advice, but with no good effect. At last she could not leave her bed, neither stir hand or foot, and her food was given her by spoon. Her father at this crisis was induced to try Blair's Pills. He purchased a box of me, telling me at the same time the condition of his daughter. Well, sir, she took two doses, and was relieved; she took two boxes, and was cured. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, JOHN G. CABORN. Further Proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, Forwarded by Mr. Charles Winterbum:- Cold Bath Road, Low Harrowgate, Yorkshire, May 30th, 1854. I feel disposed to bear my mite of testimony to Blair's Pills. I had been confined from my employment about four years, when a friend who called upon me gave me a box of your ex- cellent Pills, from which I derived so much benefit that I obtained several more, and continued to derive relief, and I have realised much benefit to my general health as well as relief from most distressing pains. I find that in repeating the doses the power of the medicine does not abate, which I have experienced in others that I have tried. Mr. William Courtney, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says :— "I had resort to your Pills, and within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought really to be known all over the world." Among the many discoveries that characterise this eventful age, nothing has conferred such a boon upon suffering hu- manity as that important discovery for Gout and Rheumatism, Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills; they require neither attention nor confinement, and are certain to prevent the dis- ease attacking any vital part.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK. Curtis on Manhood.—Far be it from us to misdirect our pen dr sully out pages with a notice in any shape of a work that would taint the purest mind or pander to one evil prin- ciple of human nature; but the book under review, so far from having a tendency of the kind, is one calculated to warQ and instruct the etring, without imparting one idea that can vitiate the mind not already tutored by the vices of which it treats.Naval and Military Gazette, 1st Feb., 1851. We feel no hesitation in saying, that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful-whe. ther such person hold the relation of a parent, preceptor, or a clergyman.

It is, moreover, the best food for infants and invalids generally, as it never turns acid on the weakest stomach, or interferes with a good liberal diet, but imparts a healthy relish for lunch and dinner and restores the faculty of digestion, and nervous and muscu- lar energy to the most enfeebled. In whooping coughs, measles, small pox and chicken or wind pox it renders all medicine superfluous by removing all inflammatory and feverish symptoms.

1 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. The Hotel des Invalides, at Paris, is now lighted with gas produced from water. The Deputy Mayor of Marseilles and six employes of the. octroi have been dismissed from their offices in consequence of leaving their posts from fear of the cholera. As an indication of the long duration of the war, a map of Russia is being drawn up at the French Ministry of War a matter not decreed even during the first empire. A. case, Worts versus Cubitt, heard in the Rolls Court, raised the point whether a bequest to "all my daughters" con- yeyed a share to an illegitimate daughter. It decided that it did. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Mrs. Stowe) declines being nominated for congress. He says from the pulpit to congress is a little too long a slide for a first venture. The house of an old miser at Stratford has been robbed, and hoarded money amounting to between £ 200 and £ 300 has been stolen. The miser and her family have been long in the receipt of parochial relief. The Essex Herald says that the glass of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, when illuminated by the sun, may be distinctly seen by a person witty ordinary eyesight from the fields adjoining the national school-house at Billericay, a dis- tance of at least twenty-six miles. The Rev. Dr. Hawke, when elected Bishop of Rhode Island, declined the appointment on account of the meagre salary. His Rhode Island friends reminded him of the promise made in the Scriptures-that God would feed the young ravens." The doctor replied that this was true, but he had nowhere seen a promise "to feed young Hawkes." A son of Tippoo Saib, now upon a visit to this country, visited the tower of London last week, accompanied by his son, a youth of 18. In passing through the armoury, the warder pointed out to them the sword and sash of their gallant but unfortunate ancestor. They were both much affected at the incident, and the father described to his son the soldier-like death his grandfather met at Seringa- patam. Out of 100,000 children born in Liverpool, only 44,797 live to the age of 20, while in Surrey that age is sustained by 70,885 out of the same number. In Manchester 100,000 annual births give only a male population between the ages of 20 and 40 of 38,919, while the average for all England and Wales is 61,215 men under the same circumstances. Dr. Cullen, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, has addressed a pastoral to his clergy, in which he calls upon them to pray that God may continue to leave us free from the ravages of disease, so dreadful in other countries, and that He may preserve all the fruits of the earth from those fatal blights which in latter years have brought famine and pestilence in their train." The Greek Government has selected a marble block in the Parthenon for the monument of George Washington, now being raised in the city named after him. It is to bear the following inscription: To George Washington, the heroic General, the high-minded citizen, the founder of modern freedom, the land of Solon, Themistocles, and Pericles, the birth-place of ancient freedom, dedicates this old marble as a sign of reverence and admiration." A drowned man has been resuscitated at Hull by treat- ment much at variance with the directions of the Royal Humane Society. Mr. Popplewell, a wool-merchant of the town, was bathing, and got out of his depth. On the body being rescued, apparently dead, it was laid down on the beach, :and perseveringly rubbed all over with sand, and slapped on the back by two bystanders. Many remon- strances were made by the rest, but after a quarter of an hour the two had the satisfaction of seeing the drowned man revive, and he recovered entirely the next day. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO BALMORAL. Orders have been received in Edinburgh to prepare the royal apartments in Holyrood Palace for the use of Her Majesty and the Royal Family on their journey to Balmoral. They are to be ready by the beginning of September. INDIAN CADETSHIPS.—The Court of Directors of the East India Company have passed a resolution to the effect that if future candidates for direct appointments are not found qualified on their first examination, they may be allowed a second trial within the next ensuing six months, and if not found qualified at a second trial, their nominations will re- vert to their patrons. That those who have been already examined, and have not passed, will be allowed one trial more within the next six months; and that if they then fail, their appointments will also be returned to their respective patrons. THE KING OF PORTUGAL AND THE JEWS.—The King of Portugal, during his late visit to Amsterdam, having been informed that the Portuguese Jews in that city formed a community apart, and had a synagogue to themselves, visited it, and promised that on his return to Portugal, he would endeavour to have the old Portuguese laws which banished all Jews repealed. A BENEVOLENT EXPEDITION TO THE BALTIC.—Five Sisters of Charity have set off for Boulogne to form part of the expedition to the Baltic. They are to be placed on board the hospital ships, where they are to attend on the sick. The finest of these vessels is as large as a 100-gun ship, and any one going on board it might imagine it was one of the finest hospitals in Paris. Nothing is wanting, not even the chapel. EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN.—The King of Bavaria has decreed that no children aged less than 10 years at least, and who have not received elementary and religious instruc- tion, shall be employed in manufactories; that they shall not be occupied more than nine hours a day, and that of them, three shall be passed at school; that the children shall be continually under surveillance; and that, if possible, the two sexes shall be kept separate. THE AMERICAN BABY MARKET.—The Stark county (Ohio) Agricultural Society is offering premiums for the finest specimen of young Americans. Here is the list:—For prettiest baby, 5 dollars and diploma to mother; for second prettiest baby, three dollars and diploma to mother; for third, two dollars and diploma to mother; for largest and heaviest child under 12 months old, age to be considered five dollars and diploma to mother; for second largest and heaviest child and under 12 months old, three dollars and diploma to mother; for third, two dollars and diploma to mother. The above is not a fair list. All the rewards go to the mother ho encouragement to father American Pa per. A LUCKY TAILOR.—Mr. Brunskill, a tailor, at Exeter, who in early life was without a shilling, has died leaving a fortune of £ 200,000 to three children, boys of a tender age. For the first seven years of his life as a tradesman he worked seventeen hours a day, Sunday included. He boasted that he was the only man in Exeter who could ride forty miles a day and cut out for forty men." In addition to his vast tailoring business, which returned above L25,000 a year be was a money broker, and made speculative ventures oc- casionally with young men of expectations, realising large interest thereby. [This paragraph is too tenderly worded.] THE HARVEST.—The accounts of the crops continue to preserve, generally speaking, an exceedingly favourable tendency. ARCHITECTURAL CONTRAST OP PARIS AND LONDON.— The Council of the Society of Arts, considering that great public advantage would arise from contrasting the architec- tural state of Paris with that of London, have resolved to appoint a committee to consider the improvements which are in progress in the city of Paris, ascertain the cost and the system on which they are paid for, and report what sug- gestions they appear to offer for the improvement of the metropolis, especially with reference to the Thames and the principal thoroughfares. MELANCHOLY DEATH. A few days since Mr. John Frampton, attorney, late of Cerne-Abbas, Dorsetshire was found dead in the Fordington-field, near Dorchester. The deceased was for many years clerk to the magistrates of the Cerne division and one of the coroners for the county. On being discovered by wtabourer, he was lying on his face and hands among the growing oats, with his walkingstick near him. Assistance was obtained, and he was removed to an inn, where an inquest has since been held. Bridence was produced to show that many months since he had been seized with a fit; and that on the evening before he was found he was seen walking in the direction of the-field. He was 62 years of age. The jury returned a verdict of "Died by the visitation of God." THE LONG VACATION.On Thursday week the long vacation of the Common Law courts commenced, and will terminate on the 24th of October. The origin of the vaca- tion was to enable persons to lend their aid in getting in the harvest, but now the gentlemen of the legal profession get in the bills of costs in the time. Last year there were 72,514 actions brought in the superior Common Law Courts -22,994 in the Queen's Bench; 16,106 in the Common Pleas; and 33,414 in the Exchequer. In the County Courts there wera 484,946 plaints entered. ROXISR ORDERS.—Bishop Williams, in his diary just laid before the House of Commons, giving the account of the proceedings of the Prayer-book Revision Commissioners in 1689, has a curious report of a discussion on re-ordina- tion As to the Church of Rome, it was urged we had very great reason now to question the validity of their orders, because that they ordained without imposition of hands (. till after ordination) and without the form of words whosesoever sins,' &c., and then it was requisite that there should be an intention, which could never be proved. But here it was reply'd, we ought to be cautious, because it has always been own'd by our church and we also received orders from them. And therefore the Bp. of L. (London) said that we did not question the validity of their orders, but the sufficiency of the evidence. It was agreed to pro- pose it whether therefore they shou'd not be re-ordain'd with a conditional ordination. If thou are not already or- dained.' But Dr. Bey. (Beveridge) said, it lookt like equi- vocation on the part of the ordainer and ordained of the ordainers, because it is likely to believ'd him not ordained before of the ordained, because he questioned not his for- mer ordination. To this B. of S. (Sarum) answer'd, that there was no reason for this because here was a declaration annexed that each should reserve his opinion. Then Dr. Grove propos'd that the ordination might be lookt upon as imperfect only, not invalid and then the Bp. without Pres- byters should lay his hands on them (as had been agreed upon in reference to ministers of foreign churches). The Dean of St. Paul's reply'd that in this point we were to re- spect the preservation of the churches principle about the necessity of episcopal ordination when it might be had and that it war. much like the marrying of the man and the wo- man refusing, but after a term of years, she consenting to go on, the woman was then married alone, without begin- ning again with the man." f Medicine always aggravates chronic diseases, such as dys- pepsia, (indigestion), habitual constipation, nervous, bilious and liver complaints, &c., but Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food invariably cures them in a very short time. We extract one out of many thousand expressions of gratitude from an aged invalid:— Trevagler, Gulval, near Penzance, Feb. 20th, 1854. Eighteen years nervous debility, violent palpitation of the heart, throbbing of the temples, pains in the left side and back, shortness of breath, cough, numbness of the extremities, cramps, spasms, flatulency, retching, and such general weakness, that I was consequently fearful of falling when on my legs: all these symptoms have been removed by Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food. MARY GELBEJtT. A great number of similar acknowledgements will be seen in tfeaw. Du Barry's advertisement. IMPROVED TREATMENT OF THE INSANE.—In the Lunr.'ic Asylum of the county of Middlessex, at Colney Hatch, there are at present more than 1,000 patients suffering from insanity in some form or other; and at the annual enter- tainment lately given by the managers of this institution, a very large number, amounting to some hundreds of thecc unfortunate mmates were seen enjoying themselres at games, such as cricket and football, followed by cheerfu l dancing, and partaking of refreshment under tents pitched in the meadows adjoining the institution, thus exhibiting in their own persons the beneficial results of the milder and improved system of treating insane persons. CANTERBURY.—There are still six candidates for the choicv of the electors, pursuing their canvass with unabated i,igoiii-. viz. :-The Hon. Charles Lennox Butler (brother to one of the members unscated on petition at the last election >, Conservative; the Hon. George Smythe, Peclite Sir V, Somervillfc, Whig; Mr. C. M. Lushington (son of the Right Hon. S. R. Lushington, who represented the city for nea: twenty years), Liberal-Conservative; Mr. C. Purton Coope r, the Chancery Q.C., Whig-Radical; and Mr. Achmuty Glovrv, who announced himself as a Liberal-Conservative, but h since advocated Radical views. Colonel RomiliN, has jn t issued his farewel address. MALDO-There are already five candidates in the for the representation of this borough, and two others ;>• spoken of as likely to come forward before the t>.v of mination. The present candidates are Messrs. G. M. V. Peacocke and T. Bramley Moore (Conservatives), Me#*t>. Lennard and Q. Dick (Whigs), and Mr. Harridance, a re si- dent of the borough, who has hitherto been a staunch sup- porter of Mr. Lennard. HULL ELECTION.—The writs were received in Hull on Sa- turday morning, and the Sheriff fixed Thursday for the day of nomination. The candidates in the field arc-on the Torv side, Mr. S. A. Dickson, who was defeated at Reading at the last general election and on the Liberal side, Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. W. D. Seymour, an eminent London mer- chant. Both parties are actively engaged in canvassing, and both declare themselves certain of success. There is a pretty general opinion, however, that Mr. Watson and Mr. Seymour will be returned. REPRESENTATION OF BARNSTAPLE.—On the supposition that the writ for the borough of Barnstaple would be moved for before the close of the session, three candidates have issued addresses to the electors. Mr. R. S. Guiness and Mr. John Laurie have come forward on the Conservative side; while the Liberals have brought forward Mr. Tite, the emi- nent architect, through whose exertions the inhabitants arc in some measure indebted for the construction of the North Devon Railway from Exeter to Barnstaple. Mr. Guiness belongs to Dublin, while Mr. Laurie dates his address from the metropolis. A CASE FOR IMMEDIATE ATTETION. There is now in Portsmouth Harbour a vessel, on board of which the vilest treatment has been given to officers and men for some time. As a specimen of the conduct pursued towards the former, we merely instance a by no means solitary case of one of them, in uniform, on the quarter-deck, having been called a liar and blackguard" by another ofifcer, and in the presence of the commander and others, who did not in- terfere and as regards the latter, between 4,000 and 5,000 lashes are reported to have been served out during the ves- sel's commission. One quarterly return, if faithfully made, should contain (we are informed) 2,000 or more lasties-sojjie of the crew have had as many as upwards of twelve dozen each—many of the crew deserted, and among them three Marines (an unheard of thing to notice in loyal and pa- triotic corps), one of whom is a general officer now in the rebel army in China; another was shot in the ranks of the Imperial army in the same warfare. All three belonged to the artillery corps, and their names are Lamburn, Pattison, and Shea. The account of these sanguinary inflictions will most probably not appear in the return moved for by )1; Hume in the House of Commons on Wednesday night.— Hampshire Advertiser and Portsmouth Herald. Miss MITFORD.—A Reading paper prints the following note from Miss Mitford: I take for granted that you know my afflictions but God is very merciful—He has left unwithered my intellect and my affections, and, at this very moment, I am sitting at the open window, inhaling the sweet summer air; a jar of beautiful roses on the window- sill within-sight; a perfect sheaf of fresh-gathered meadow- sweet, sending in its almondy fragrance from without; and, although too much sunken in the chair to look down on my little flower-beds, the blue sky, the green trees, and the dis- tant harvest fields for a prospect. There is consoktiau here-the best cousolation-next to the goodness of (JoLt is the beauty of nature." CURIOUS ROMANCE IN REAL Lirz.-Some weeks ago a widow in a parish not 100 miles from Limerick expressed an anxiety to enter again into the bonds of wedlock, In a short time she chose a person who, she hoped, would prove true to his faith to her, and who made every preparation to make her his own, for better, for worse, till death. The appointed day arrived, but the faithless swain declared off, and left her in weeds to pine over the fickleness of man. Being in com- fortable circumstances, she confided her distressing case to one who could, she thought, provide a husband on whom s he might rely. Her wishes were complied with without much loss of time, or any apparent trouble. The new s' or ar- rived in due course he was accepted, and to make Le mat- ter more serious, the indissoluble knot was tied by the pas- tor of the parish, but as the widow had experienced the frailty of one suitor, she was apparently resolved to prove that, however anxious she had been to possess herself of a part- ner, she would not live with the individual to whom she had just been married. Immediately after the ceremony she summarily ejected him, proclaimed she would never recog- nise him under her roof, and to establish the fact that she was serious in her resolution, she commenced a negociation with her husband as to what sum of money he would take, provided he was inclined, to enable him to emigrate to Ame- rica, or the more distant and favoured lands of Australia. A bargain was speedily concluded, a sum of;620 was handed over to Benedict; and he relinquishing all claim to the hand of the widow married," and bidding adieu to the beautiful scenery close by the Shannon, amid which he first saw the light, betook himself to Liverpool a few days ago, whence we have heard he has already sailed for that far distant laud which is now the object of so much attraction to our coun- trymen. THE NEW MINISTER OF HEALTH.—Sir Bejamin Hall transacted business for the first time on Saturday at the General Board of Health, Whitehall. The lion, baronet has appointed Mr. Arthur Berrington to act as his private secretary, and has continued Mr. Taylor as secretary to the board. The staff of the office is completed, with the ex- ception of the inspectors. Dr. Sutherland and Dr. Granger will be immediately employed, as medical inspectors, to act. for the metropolis, and to confer with the various local authorities in all measures for arresting the spread of the disease. The Postmaster-General has appointed Dr. Gavin to be Medical Superintenpent of the General Post-tlffice during the prevalence of the cholera. The health of the officers of the department is therefore closely watched, and, a supply of medicines being kept at the chief office in tSt. Martin's-le-Grand, and at the principal branch offices, im- mediate relief can be given in cases of illness.—Observer. A DESERTED Tow-N.-It does not often fall to a man's lot to see a town without inhabitants, and I confess my walk through the streets of Giurgevo the day after my arriva l produced a profound and indescribable impression upon nie. Some of the doors were locked, others turned to and fro in the breeze; all the apartments bore marks of the lias-ty flight of the owners. Flower-pots stood in nearly all the windows, and many of the bed-rooms contained such articles as bedsteads, looking-glasses, &c. In a huge cupboard, in a very extensive mansion, I found a stew of meat and po- tatoes, the scent of which was anything but agreeable. Some of the gardens are still trim and neat as if the owners' care had heen withdrawn but yesterday others choked with weeds and grass, as if long ago left to their fate. In several apart- ments were stray articles of female attire, lace collais, crumpled and dirty, old slippers with the heels turned down, and papers of pins. Over all, reigns the silence of death. You walk through street after street without seeing a living creature except perhaps a half-famished dog, who eyes ynu askance as he slinks past you, and without hearing a sound save your own footfall. In the market-place there are some signs of life; groups of officers lounge at the hotel, and pa- trots pass and repass on their way to the various outposts. Advance 20 yards in any direction from this, and yea fid yourself surrounded by desolation, LovE, MURDER, AND SuierDE.-The inhabitants of the village of Chiseldon, a few miles distant from Bath, have been most painfully excited in consequence of the following awful occurrence. A young man named Richard Ilughes, a groom in the service of W. M. Crowdey, Esq., had for some time past been enamoured of the cook of the same hou e. His attentions, however, did not appear to have been reci- procated by the young woman; and on Sunday week lie received a peremptory order not to think of keeping her company any longer. This appears to have had a great effect upon his mind and, stinging under the failure of his suit, he went into an adjoining town on Tuesday last, when he was told by a relative that his supposed intended had been walking out in the company of another young man to whom she was about shortly to be married. This roused his jealousy into madness, when he hastened back to Chiseldon, rushed into the kitchen, where he found the unfortunate cook in front of the fire, preparing the dinner. Just as she was leaning over the fireplace to lift something from a sauce- pan, he rushed behind her, pulled her head back, and then drew a razor across her throat, inflicting a frightful wound from which the blood flowed most copiously. Previous to his committing the deed the poor girl had time to scream for help, which brought her master to the spot just as she was falling to the floor. The moment Hughes saw him he started off followed by Mr. Crowdey, but before he could overtake him the wretched man drew the razor over his own throat, and almost severed his head from his body. When hi* master got to him he was found in the path of the garden belonging to his house, in his last gasp. So completely had he succeeded in the attempt on his own life that death was almost instantaneous. Medical aid was procured for the unfortunate victim, but little if any hopes can be entertained of her recovery. MANY THINGS IN FEW WORDS.- A poor bachelor never looks so pitiable as when he is looking out his linen to send to the wash. A violin is an instrument that tortures many for the enjoyment of one. None but a Frenchwoman knows how to put on a shawl. A lawyer's carriage is only a blue bag on wheels. A woman's age is a problem of which no Archmides has ever yet cried out Eureka." Puseyism is a kind of sandwich taken between Protestan- tism and Roman Catholicism. Every dramatist fancies all his geese are swans of Avon. With a cabman (since the Fitzroy Act) mostly all roads lead to the police court. The balance of power is mostly left in Rothschild's hands. Shopping is woman's only consolation when she has no money to spend. Drunkenness is a dead wall with a row of broken bottles at the top. Repentance must travel always by an express train, for it so repeatedly arrives too late [—Punch. A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.—We can confidently recommend « Woolley's Pectoral Candy" to that considerable portion of the British public who indulge in the dangerous practice of neglecting their slight coughs and other chest affections. The introduction of this truly -remarkable remedy into general family use has been attended in many thousands of cases with the happiest results and we can only say that the de- mand for the article is astonishing. It conveys cure and re- lief alike to the child, the adult, and the aged, promoting ia all cases that free and full expectoration which it is so essen- tial to ensure; consequently, its office is thereby to lay the foundation of a real and lasting cure. We recommend all old sufferers from either bronchitis, asthma, hoarseness, or chronic cough, at least to give a trial to this article, and we think their sufferings will soon disappear. Woolley's Pectoral Candy" is sold by all respectable chemists and medicine ven- ders, in boxes, at Is. I i. and 2s. 9<L each.—See advt.
