THOMAS JAOKSON, Railway Station- THE INFALLIBLE REMEDY. HOLLO WAYS OINTMENT. Contracted or Stiff Joints. All the Medicines in the London dispensaries would barely benefit, much less cure, any chronic cases of con- tracted or stiff joints whereas if this invaluable Oint- ment be effectually rubbed into such parts twice a day, the effects will be immense. Paralytic patients even can derive advantages from this fine remedy when other means fail. Scorbutic Humours.—Scald Heads & Skin Diseases. Scorbutic humours arise from an impure state of the blood, and in most cases the liver and stomach are the organs at fault.-The Pills will speedily restore these to a healthy action while the Ointment, if well rubbed in at least twice a day, will soon cure any case of skin dis- ease. Soldiers, sailors, and miners, use this famous Ointment in all parts of the world. Disorder of the Kidneys, Stone and Gravel. In any of the above complaints more benefit may be derived in twenty-four hours by adopting the following imple means than is frequently brought about in six months by any other treatment. In bad cases if the Ointment be rubbed into the small of the back over the region of the kidneys, it will quickly penetrate, and, in most instances, give immediate relief. Six or eight of the Pills should be taken nightly according to circum- stances. Diptheria, Sore Throats, &c- These maladies are of so serious and dangerous a na- ture that the Ointment would not be recommended unless the Proprietor was sure of its effect. It will cure, when every other means have failed, if applied immediately, and not delayed until the patient is beyond recovery. It is a sovereign remedy for sore throats. Settled coughs or wheezing will be promptly removed by rubbing in this unguent. Mothers should rub it into the chest of their infants whenever there is any hoarseness, tightness, or any other affection of breathing. Bad Legs, Bad Breasts-Old Wounds, Sores and Ulcers. It is surprising how quickly a sore, ulcer or wound, do. prives the bOlly of strength, and unfits it for the duties of life but it is no less wonderful to watch the effect of Holloway's Healing Ointment, when it is used according to the printed directions, and assisted by appropriate doses of the Pills. The pain, inflammation, and other morbid manifestations, soon disappear from the affected part, and health and strength return. This treatment creates sound flesh, and therefore makes its cures com- plete. Gout and Rheumatism. Will be cured with the greatest certainty if large quan- tities of the Ointment be well worked into the complain- ing parts. This treatment must be perseveringly followed for some time and duly assisted by powerful doses of Hol- loway's Pills. The essence of these diseases lies in the blood which has noting through each vessel the pain- Eivin poison which vitiates and inflames every tissue it cornel in contact with, and produces the hot, swollen, elastic enlargement about the juintd so characteristic of gouty and rheumatic maladies. Both the Ointment and Pills should be used in the following cases. Bad Legs Chi?o-foot Fistulas Sore-Nipples Bad Brea,ts Chilblains Gout Sore-Throats Burns Chapped hands Glandular Swel-Skin diseases Bnnions Corn (Soft lings Scurvy Bite of Mosche- Cancers Lumbago Sove headAs toes and Sand Contracted and Piles • Inmo lis Flies Stiff-joints Rheumatism Ulcers Coco-Bay NeptMntiMU SoaUa yaw3 YaW3 Sold at the Establishment of PROFRSSOK HOLMWAY, 224, Strand, (neiy Temple Bar), London also by all res- pectable Druggists and Dealers in Medicines throughout the civilised world, at the following prices :-ls. lid., 2s. 9d., 4s. fid., lis., 22s., and :s. each Pol There is a considerable saving by taking the larger sizes.

IMPORTANT TO SINGERS &c., JONES' TREMADOC AROMATIC VOICE CLOBULES. For Restoriny and Clearing the Voice, removing Hoarseness, &-c. THIS wonderful New Discovery was fint i introduced amongst the Italian Vocalists, and is used with remarkable benefit in Germany, and other parts on the Continent. The secret was obtained, with some difficulty, by the proprietor, and the demand for them since he has introducad them in this country is most astoundind. These Globules are a combination of the most simple and Balsamic Vegetables. acting as a soothing and Tonio Renovator to the Vocal and Respiratory Orgons. They will remove, in a few hours, the most troublesome Hoarse- ness that can take place afte Singing, Public Sneaking, &e. and by using them three or four times a day for a short time, they will not fail to restore and clear the voice, making it most refined and by using the same oc- casionally they will give a Tone and fineness to the most rough and broken voice, protecting the throat from re- laxed Hoarseness and Cold. They clear the aocumlated Phlegm that coagulated in the bronchial Tubes, to the great inconvenience of Singers and Public Speakers and are good to those who have lost their Voice; also have been found effectual in cases of Spitting Blood. Old Coughs, and Palpitation. Theirtasto is good, and impart an agreeable odour to the breath. Prepared only (by Appointment) by B. I. Jones, Cambrian Pill Depot, Tremadoe, Id Boxes, Is. lid,, and 2s. 9d. each. Sold by all the Wholesale and Retail Druggists, and may be had direct, per return of Post, from Tremadoe' on receipt of Is. 2d., or 3s., in Stamps. Testimonials of their wonderful effect come to hand daily. A Clergyman of 30 years standing in the Church has tried my Voice Globules after suffering more or less from an effection of the throat, attended frequently with hoarseness, for 20 years, and has found them wonderfully efficacious in removing all hoarseness and in strengthening the Voice. And if any one doubts this, I am at liberty to give his name in private to any brother clergyman who wishes to have it. Read the following from L W. LEWIS, Esq., (Llew Llwyfo :— Denbigh, August 7, 1863. Sir,—You have desired me to make a trial of your Voice Globules. I did so. The result is this-I never had anything before to have an immediate, decided, and agreeable effect upon my Voice as those, although I spent much in Lozenges, Wafers. &c. Now I get an immediate relief from Hoarseness when I am attacked I find the Globules an effectual preventive from Hoarseness a most valuable discovery worthy of trial. Send me another Box immediately. Yours, sc., LLEW LLWYFO. MOURNING DEPARTMENT I 14 and 16, BOLD STREET, 14 and 16. LIVERPOOL. CRIPPS AND CO., HAVING made Large Additions to J_ their Stock of MOURNING ATTIRE, have great confidence in drawing the attention of Famil- ies to this important part of their Business.

No less care is exercised in the selection of the right makes of BLACK SILKS, BLACK PARAMATTAS, COBURGS, ALPACAS, BA. RATHEAS, &c., of which Patterns will be sent 811 application Post Free.

The author of this useful and praotical little treatise ta at present the master of the Free School, in the town of Bala; and has, we understand, been engaged in the tuition of youth fur a great number of years, and has proved himself to be a most effective teacher. Du- ring the past few years, schools, either National or British, have been established in nearly every parish in North Wales, and sometimes both, for the education of the children of the poor, and in all instances the English language is used, and nothing but English is taught. This system will eventually prove to be of the utmost advantage to the Welsh* labouring classes for although it does not militate aaiust the Welsh language, nor prevent the children from acquiring a knowledge of it in their homes or elsewhere, it will enable them to learu English properly, which, in the present day, and under the altered state of things, will be of much practical utility to them in after life, and when they have to go into the world to obtain a livelihood. In most of the rural districts of Wales, the children of the working olasses, and even of small farmers, are never taught a word of English in their homes, and so when they are sent first to school, they do not know a word of the language. The poor children, therefore, find learning at first terribly up-hill work, for their task is a double one, and their progress is consequently but slow for some Tears, and the more so because they are taught to read English in English, and nothing is explaimed to them in Welsh. Now, to meet this difficulty, and to assist the Welsh child in his difficult task, is the object of the little book before us, and we really think that Mr. Jones's plan, if carried out by teachers in our country schools, would be of very considerable benefit. In his introduction he tells us that some persons think that Welsh "children should receive nearly all their instruc- tion and training at school through the medium of their own language, and that the study of Rnglish should form a suecial branch. There are, however, serious and well founded objections to this plan. First, it Is not 1 calculated to afford a sufficient general prominence to the study of the English language and, secondly, where the vernacular is the language of the schoolroom, and the medium of intcr-communication, Welsh children have not sufficient time or encouragement to prosecute vigorously the study of English." The author then objects to the opposite plan which "oonsiats in the exclusive use of English for conveying a knowledge of things and words," a plan, he says, which is quite at variance with the principles aud rules of mo- darn teaohing. lit then suggets a plan which is a mean between the two ext.remes--that is, "To use the Tpniaoular as an instrument for elucidating obscure poihts^wwt removing thn .difficulties which vexed tw young people in the work of acquiring a foreign tongue; and it is ibif sys- tem which is advocated throughout tlie littlê work, and as we have before intimated with a'very great amount of success, in our opinion. The work is entirely intended for teachers in Welsh schools, to whom we strongly recommend it; for, although everv suggestion may not be acted upon, yet everyone will find in it very useful hints which may be I turned to valtttbl ? account by judicioua and earnest instruction. Some of the examples of the way in which a Welah child "peaks Kn??b at first are very droll and laughable, and, to our personal knowledge, they are as true as they are funny.. Of course these are inserted merely as errors to he corrected and put right. We are glad to find that the little work has received the warm approbatiou of the Bishop of St. David's, and other friends of education in Wales; and we trust that, iu a short time, it will be found on the desk of every schoolmaster from Swansea to Flint. It would be so, we feel assured, were its merits but fully known.

m\i$ÚÙnntou'¡- About 120 vessels were wind-bound in the Frith of Forth last week. The report that Mr. C. Bailey, M.P., intends to re- sign is contradicted.. An English Church has been opened at Corfu under most auspicious.circumstances. An old woman who was dreadfully injured by the accident at the Catholic schools in Westminster died on Monday. A Connecticut man has invented a watch which is sim- pler in its mechanism than ordinary watches, and will run 378 days with once winding. The Egyptian Prince Mustapha l'asba (brother of the reigniiig Viceroy), with his son and suite, arrived in Paris on Friday. Madame Ristori has been presented by the Sultan of Turkey with a collar of diamonds as a mark of his ap- preciation of her great ability. The Duke of Sutherland is about to extend the rail- way to his most northern estates, at a personal cost of £ 100,000. With this year the British Parliament has been in ex- istence 600 years, out of which Lord Palmerston has had a tenth of his share. At Nottingham, on Saturday, four lace weavers were committed for trial on the charge of having intimidated workmen who had refused to join the strike movement in that town. David Gray, the eating-house keeper who was recent- ly apprehended at Derby for setting fire to his premises, and defrauding insurance offices, has been committed for trial. On Friday a young man staying in Paris shot himself whilst riding in a cab in that city. The refusal of his f' parents to his marriage led to the rash act. The Lords of the Admiralty are engaged with the se- veral chiefs of departments with preparing navy esti- mates to be laid before Parliament this month. There are now 264 post t)wns in the United Kingdom which send a day mail to London, 73 towns which send three day mails, 15 towns which send four day mails, and 6 which send five day mails. Letters from Naples state that the Grand Duke, heir to the Crown of Russia, is now in that city, where Prince Humbert is doing him the honours of the city. Great intimacy reigns at the present moment between the houses of Savoy and Romanoff. Bishop Thomas C. Brownell, of Connecticut, presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America, died at his residence in Hartford, Connecticut, on the 13tli January, in the 80th year of his age. The death is announced of the Rev. William Thorp, D.D., of London, a well-known evangelical clergyman of the Church of England. Dr. Thorpe married, in 1834, the Dowager Countess of Pomfret. An accident that might have proved most serious oc- curred last week to Miss Margaret Goring, daughter of the Dowager Lady Goring. In lighting her candle her sleeve caught fire, but happily it was extinguished in time to prevent fatal effects.— Court Journal. It is reported that three prelates are to be added to the Irish Catholic heirarchy. The Bishop of Killaloe has called in a coadjutor, the Bishop of Killala is about following his example, and it is stated that a prelate in the west "—Dr. M'Hale, perhaps-will soon do like- wise. The Star of Peace, Captain Mitchell, belonging to George Thompson and Co., of the Aberdeen line of ships, arrived in the East India Docks, London, on Sunday, from Geelong in 81 days, with the first clip of Australian wool of the season, and with 10,911 ozi of gold. AmbaMadors from Madagascar (says the A'ord) are said to have left Taraatava on the 23rd December for New York, Paris, and London, and are believed to be provid- ed with the necessary powers for negotiating and sign- ing treaties with the three countries. There are now employed in the cod fishery on the coast of Iceland 260 French vessels of the aggregate tonnage of 23,503 tons, and having 4337 men as crews. The number of fish taken during 1864 was loss than the previous year, the proportion being 645 fish to each man. A communication has been received from the Home Office to the offset that the E300 to which Matthews is entitled as a reward for his exertions in reference to the apprehension and subsequent conviction of Franz Muller will become payable to the official assignee of the estate. The creditors of Matthews, who but for this circumstance would have lost the whole of their debts, will now receive a dividend of upwards of 10s. in the pound. Early on Friday morning, a fire broke out at a dwel- ling house at Sowerby Bridge, occupied by a gentleman named Wood, who, with his family of about seven or eight persons, escaped with difficulty through the doors and windows. The servant, a young Irishwoman named Manus, tried to escape through the front entrance, but failed, and fell back into the flames. She was shortly afterwards recovered and removed to the Halifax Infirmary, where she died a few hours after her admis- sion. A party of young men and women, eight in number, incautiously ventured upon a thin sheet of ice, on a branch of the river Lune, at Lancaster, on Saturday afternoon, when it suddenly broke, and they were all precipitated into the water. Fortunately the accident was witnessed by a policeman, who instantly ran to the waggon works, a few yards off, and obtained the assis- tance of several men, who brought some ropes and planks, by means of which they soon succeeded in bring- ing the whole party safely on land. On Saturday afternoon, a collision occurred on the railway near the Ardwick station. The train due in Man- chester at 4.30 p.m. from Sheffield, ran through a goods train that was ciossing the line, near Ardwick, overturn- ing and breaking some of the trucks, and strewing the goods on the line. The engine and tender of the passenger train were also seriously injured. The passengers were shaken, and some of them were slight- ly bruised, but we believe that none sustained serious harm. At a recent meeting of the Midland Farmers' Club, at Birmingham, the subject of discussion was the tenure of land. Mr. Newdegate, M.P., took part in the dis- cussion, urging the spontaneous adoption of a wholesome form of agreement between landlord and tenant-a yearly agreement, for he was opposed to long leases. He argued from the success of the system in Lincoln- shire, where agriculture was in even a higher state of protection than in Scotland, the country of long leases. An inquest was held in Newcastle-on-Tyue, on Friday, on the body of the wife of a labourer, named Chambers, who died in childbed through want of proper medical assistance. At least half-a-dozen surgeons were sum- moned, but they excused themselves on the plea of being otherwise engaged. A surgeon was at length ob- tained, but the unfortunate woman died while he was in the act of entering the house. The jury returned a ver- dict to the effect that the woman had died from the want of medical attendance, and censured the conduct of Dr. Gibson, who had not attended when solicited to do so. I On Friday night, whi'e the Liverpool and Glasgow steamer Princess Royal was lying at the Steamboat Quay, Greenock, discharging cargo, a private belonging to the 92nd Regiment, named William Stewart, alias John M'Leod, who had deserted some time ago from his regiment, but was subsequently captured near Liverpool, and who was on his way to the depot of his regiment, under guard of two soldiers, managed to elude the vigi- lance of his guard, and got ashore unobserved, leaving no trace of his present whereabouts. The deserter was handcuffed at the time of his eseape.-Glaigow herald. A TnIPLE TRAoEDy.-The Echo de I'A rdSche relates that last week a farmer named Viouzac went with his son, a lad of 17, to Maleon-les-Bains, to be present at a marriage. On reaching the banks of the Glueyre, the father, without hesitating, proceeded to cross the torrent by means of a slight wooden bridge thrown over it. The son less courageous, hesitated, but at last, beingpersuad- ed by his father, ventured forward. He had only made a few steps when he became giddy and fell into the water. A labourer named Bosc plunged in after him, but in his turn was swept away. Another young man, however, saved Bosc, and brought him safely to the bank. Two friends of Bosc, desirous of congratulating their comrade, shortly after attempted to cross the bridge by holding hands, but they became giddy and were two viotima che more. The bodies of the three were found i the next dav lower down in the river.
