A SAM, a British Colony, of growing importance, situate on the very verge of China, ranks among the most J_jL interesting of our East Indian Possessions, for the continuous improvement of this Province, in a general sense, under the auspices of the" Asam Company." The exertions and capital of the "ASAM TEA COMPANY" are, however, especially devoted to bringing into general repute a SELF-PECULIAR & INDIGENOUS TEA PLANT PRODUCED IN ASAM, which is deservedly classed with the most important of our Colonial productions for its SURPASSING QUALITIES. The Asam Tea possesses, from the fitness and richness of the soil, virtues apart from and superior to any other leaf, even in a wild state, and FOR STRENTH, AS WELL AS FLAVOUR, IS UNAPPROACH- ABLE by any of the Chinese Plants, which properties have been, and still will be, infinitely improved by experienced Anglo-Chinese cultivation. Therefore, besides is indescribably fine flavour, its very superior strength guarantees an ECONOMY ATTENDANT ON ITS CONSUMPTION, which must necessarily render it a domestic acquisition of incalculable advantage. The "Asam TEA Company" are also Shareholders in the Asam Company," and therefore have an interest in, and depend for success entirely on, the peculiar and intrinsic qualities of the Asam Tea. which, for these reasons, they furnish in a pure and genuine state, by means of advertised Agents, not interested in their adultera- tion, in packets duly sealed and labelled, "ASAM TEA COMPANY, 11, CROOKEDLANE, KING WILLIAM STREET," City of London, where applications and communications will be duly and promptly attended to.

It is well known that Geo. IV. received the greatest benefit from his PREVENTIVE GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, in which diseases they mitigate the severest paroxysms, without producing nausea or any prostrating effects. In Asthmas, Influenza, and Coughs of Long Standing, his "CELEBRATED COUGH PILLS" stand nnrivalled.-pre- ventiiig tickling in the throat, and fits of coughing, which so generally attend these compl^}^^ His CARMINATIVE or SOOTHING SYRUP, being free from any preparation of opium, or other dangerous narcotics, has obtained the approval of the most eminentmembers of the medical plofes,ion.-facts which render it the safest and most valuable remedy in Acidity of the Stomach, Gripes, Hiccup, Restlessness, teething, and the usual infantile attacks.

To the Proprietor of the" Royal Domestic Medicines." 2. High-street, Swansea, June 24th, 1845. SIR,—I feel much pleasure in communicating to you, the gratifying intelhjience, that the ROYAL DOMESTIC MEDICINES are highly valued here. About two weeks ago, an elderly gentleman, named Kdwards, came to me for a box of Halford's Celebrated Cough Pills; he was nearly sulfocated with As hma. and had a distressing Cough. Yesterday he called for two boxes more, saying that previous to taking them be had not enjoyed one night's rest for months, and that his past pains and sufferings appear like a dream." This gentleman has been afflicted for many years, and is now recovered. The ROYAL 1-AMIL\ (Aperient) Pills are sail!, by many, to be the best they ever took for Bilious Affections. Sick Head- ache, &c. Whilst I anri writing, a Captain Davis called for six boxes to take to sea for his own ii,;e, ,adding that they were, without exception, the best Medicines he had ever taken." Yours, very respectfully, (Signed) S. RICHARDS. Extract of a Letter, dated 26th May, 1845, from Mr. War hurst, Chemist, Fleet street, Bury, I ancasltire. '• I consider the Royal Family Pills a very excellent medi- cine they gi"e general satisfaction here, and are in great demand. I am nearly out „f stock,—therefore send me, as before, ten dozens, and a fase 0f tije Gout and Rheumatic Piils. Amongst the numerous parties who have spoken of the benrfits received by the use of the Halford Medicines, I will allude to a very respectable lady here, who, having re- ceived a perfect cure of a constant sick head-ache, loss of appetite, and a rising of the. stomach (as lie described it) almost to suffocation, called on Tuesday for another box, desired me to express and report to you her best thanks, say- ing, she should be most happy in being referred to. through me, should any respectable persou desire it.' I shall, there. fore. avail myself of so respectable a testimony, aud think you would do well to advertise the same," Extract of a Letter, dated '27th March, lA45,from illr. R. Brook, 25 ff 2G, Buxton-road, Huddersfteld.

IMPORTANT ENLARGEMENT OF THE CARDIFF AND MERTHYR GUARBIAiV. ssssfsss waasasj PROPRIETOR OF THE Cardiff &, THertlxyr Guardian Newspaper, DUKE-STREET, CARDIFF, BEGS most respectfully to inform his Friends and the Public generally, of the Counties of Glamorgan, Monmouth, and Brecon, that, with a view of rendering his paper a medium of furnishing copious and accurate Reports of all Public Meetings and Proceedings of in- terest that take place in the several Counties above named, together with a well condensed summary of Parliamen- tary, Metropolitan, Provincial, and Foreign Intelligence, he has enlarged the GUARDIAN to the present size; and, upon comparison, it will be found one of the LARGEST PAPERS IN THE PRINCIPALITY. An extensive font, it will be perceived, of BEAUTIFUL NEW TYPE of the most modern description has been provided. H. W., therefore, confidently trusts that his efforts to make the CARDIFF AND MERTHYR GUARDIAN thus more worthy of general attention, will secure to it an increased share of public support. As an Advertising medium, the GUARDIAN possesses peculiar and powerful claims upon the attention of the Commercial and Literary Public, as it is the only paper advocating Conservative principles published for the Counties of Glamorgan and Brecon, and consequently is most extensively circulated amongst the Nobuify, Gentry, Clergy, Professional Men, Merchants, and princi- pal Tradesmen of those Counties; whilst in the important County of Monmouth it enjoys a circulation of some hundreds weekly.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We regard the work before us, 11 The Silent Friend, as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impres- sion on our mind that wenot only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pagcq,Age and Argun. The Authors of The Silent Friend" seem to be tho- roughly conversant with the treatment of a class of com- plaints which are we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful pernsal.Era. "This work should be read by all who value health and wish to enjoy life, for the truisms therein contained defy all doubt."—Farmers' Journal. THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYKTACUM, is intended to relieve those persons who, by an inimo- cerate indulgence of their passions, have ruined theirconsti- tutions, or in their way to the consummation of that deplo- rable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the ner- vous system, obstinate gleets, excesses, irregularity, obstruc- tions of certain evacuations, weaknesses, total impotencv, barrenness, &c.

HOL^SE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY. The Marquis of Breadalbane presented a petition from the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, com- plaining of the obstacles thrown in their way in endeavouring to obtain sites for places of public worship. The Earl of Cawdor and the Duke of BuccJeuch severally vindicated themselves from the imputation that thev had in any way acted hostilely or vindictively against the Free Church. After some observations from Lord Campbell and the Marquis of Urcadaibaneiu reply, the petition was ordered to he on the table. FRIDAY. RAILWAYS.—The Earl of PaJhollsie in placing before the house papers relative to the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, stated the circumstances under which it had been constituted, and alluded to the report wbich had gone forth that out of all the recommendations made by the committee 1_- 1 L y uue "au "n confirmed by the House ot Commons and CVen l'lat 0t?e ',ad becn rejected by the House of Lords, ihis would certainly be curious if it werfjfruej but it was not Qrw* M m £ 0in' of fact' out of 247 involving about S0U0 miles of new railway, which had been submitted to the Board of Trade, there had been 151 favourably reported upon of which only six had failed in the House of Commons, arising from compron-lises or change of circumstances, while no less than 121 had been absolutely conirmed. It had, how- ever, been determined by the Oovernnwnt to discontinue the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, as a distinct I branch ot the board for the purpose of reporting on the met its of new railway speculations. Henceforth the Board of Trade would overlook railways with a view to the protection of the public, and reporting when necessary for the convenience and security of the public, but without reporting on the merits of any particular railway itself. Lord Brougham sympathised with the feelings of the noble lord in delivering the funeral oration of the departed railway board but if it had been in the full possession of its mental aid bodily functions up to the moment of its decease-if it were so virtuous, discreet, and industrious-the house ought to be informed of the causes of its death. There was ground for suspecting murder or foul play, and Mr. Wakley ought to be called in to sit on the body to ascertain if it were put to death by violence or had committed suicide. The noble lord then adverted to the manner in which money and time were consumed in the conflicting schemes before Parliament, and said that Mr. Hudson—King Hudson—was working with a twelve-counsel power before the committee on the London and York line. The object of Mr. Hudson was delay, in order that a report might not be made iu the present session, and of course counsel would talk just as long as Mr. Hudson was disposed to spend money. He was, in fact, just as well pleased with a six or eight hours' speech from the counsel opposed to him, as with a speech of six hours from his own counsel. He hoped, however, that the committee would disappoint Mr. Hudson, by reporting during the present session. Lord Faversham said that Mr. Hudson, who was present, and had heard Lord Brougham's speech (cries of "order''), had authorised him to say that it was incorrect to say that he was interfering with the committee. Lord Brougham observed that the only sovereign entitled to be present at their debates was her Majesty. The railway potentate had no right to be there. The noble lord moved the consideration of one of his resolutions respecting railways, with a view to its being made a standing order; and in the course of the discussion The Earl of Devon objected to the noble lord's repeatedly speaking upon the same motion. Lord Brougham said that the noble lord had once sat as clerk at the table of the house, and was then obliged to listen to him. 0 The Earl of Devon commented on the good taste evinced by the noble lord in this allusion, and then asserted that he would take care in future that he would interfere as far as possible in preventing the noble lord from violating the privileges of the house. The further consideration of the resolution was postponed, and the remaining business having been disposed of their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—'THURSDAY. COLLEGES (IRELAND) BILL.—Sir J. Graham moved the third reading of the Colleges (Ireland) Bill. Mr. B. Osborne argued at considerable length for the necessity of throwing open Trinity College, Dublin, and moved, as an amendment, "That an humble address be pre- sented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciousfy pleased to direct an inquiry to be made into the amount of the revenues of Trinity College, Dublin, from rents of college lands, endowments, and bequests, fees on matriculation, on taking degrees, and from every other source; also, into the manner in which that income is expended, the number of senior and junior fellows, of professors, scholars, and all officers of the college, with the amount of salary and allow- ances to each of them with a view to ascertain whether the income or funds at present applied solely to the benefit of Protestants in Trinity College, Dublin, might not be benefically extended, so as to make Roman Catholics and Protestant dissenters eligible, if otherwise qualified. to all scholarships, and to all such fellowships, professorships, and other offices in Trinity College, Dublin, as are not intended for ecclesiastical purposes, or immediately connected with ecclesiastical endowments." Mr. M. Bellew seconded the amendment. Discussion at great length. Ultimately the amendment was defeated by a majority of 168 to 91. The third reading of the Bill was carried by a majority of 177 to 26, J J j FRIDAY. LUNATIC^ BILL. Lord Ashley then entered into an expo- sition of the objects of the bill, stated the frightful magnitude of the existing evils, and described the way in which it was proposed to protect the unfortunate lunatics from those cruel- ties to which they had been hitherto exposed. Mr. Duncombe contended at much length, that the bill would be useless as a protection to lunatics. There were some good provisions in it, but others were so mischievous that be must take the sense of the house upon the propriety of post- poning the bill. The amendment was negatived by a majority of 66 to 1. The Bill is to go into committee on Monday. Sir J. Graham moved the order of the day for the house resolving itself into committee on the Poor Law Amendment (Scotland) Bill. Mr. Hume, Mr. Ewart, Mr. P. M. Stewart, and other hon. members urged upon the necessity of postponing the bill until next session. Sir J.Graham said that the inquiry into the matter had been extensive, and he never had proposed a measure to the house upon the principle of which he felt more s itistied than he did upon the one before the house. Under these circum- stances he must decline acceding to the suggestions of the hon. gentlemen. The house eventually went into committee, and the remain- der of the evening was occupied in the discussion of the clauses.

LITERARY MEN.—Literary men, generally speaking, are not men of business—they are not sufficiently worldfy for the management of worldly affairs; they make no provision for the future, but abandon themselves to chance and hope, indulging in dreams and idle specula- .te tions; forgetting some duties, and mistaking others, and ultimately sinking into disrespect,—or poverty, which is about the same state in this money-bag country. There are some people who can, to use a common phrase, make a pound go further than others. The former are not scribes—even in prose! But we think that our literary man should be, if possible, above and free from the hu- miliating necessity and petty care of endeavouring to spin out his dross to the last mite. The extravagance of which he is often accused is, after all, nothing to the extravagance of a thrivingand sometimes n. failing draper. The literary man is, in most cases, content with social relaxations. He is no sporting man, no high-living and stylish strainer for first-rate fashion. Heaven knows, he earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, and such a labourer is indeed worthy his hire! Yet is he greatly grudged his ignoble pittance. Supposing him to be ever so improvident, still there should be all possible wise provision made for the failings of such a man—one, who in a state of penury, must inevitably sink into disgrace as well as distress. But to our thinking there should be less disgrace and distress too known among them, were they better paid. Doctors, and Lawyers, and Parsons, very properly demand a good remuneration for their ser- vices, that their order may be maintained, and they may support themselves in a manner likely to render them valuable to the community. Authors, on the other hand, are differently considered. The exceptions that we see in successful writers, only make the rule of which we complain else such men as we have named would not have left their families applicants for public charity. There is something disgraceful in the fact that no sooner was the breath out of the bodies of late contributors to public amusement and instruction, than subscriptions were set on foot for their destitute families. The fault cannot so uniformly lie with the departed. They worked" for the hour, and got no more than sufficient for that hour's necessities. Had they been better paid, they would, in all probability, have held abetter position, and left more to their families. and left more to their families. Improvidence seems to be thoroughly stamped upon the character of the scribe; and not until he shall have been convinced that his own exertions are indispensable in providing against destitution, is he likely to make the necessary effort. '4< it<- There is something morally wrong, as well as impolitic, unjust, and cruel, in witholding a fair consideration for service rendered by public writers. It may be all very well to pay miserably for what in one sense costs -or seems to cost-so little, but when we consider that the writer's respectability depends upon the amount of his earnings, as also do, in nine cases out of ten, his health and happiness, as well as the vigour and value" of his productions, surely there is something worse than unfair- ness in keeping him "down in the world." The uncer- tain and unequal amount of pay which he obtains, is the mainspring of half the poverty and disgrace to which so many of that class are subject. The respectability of the press has been too long neglected. A power so great an agency so wondrous as to have become recognised as an additional member of the constitution one affecting the whole interests of the community, should begin to organise its being, to take a social stand, and maintain its respectability. To that end we should have less pau- perism among our "talented writers;" our literary men should be better paid.—•Abridged from the English Gentleman.

GREAT WELSH JUNCTION RAILWAY.— In consequence of the decision of the House of Commons on the South Wales line of railway, the promoters of the original Welsh Junction line have, after mature consideration, determined on a large extension of their operations, and to construct such a system of railways and branches as, .1 while they will in every way provide for the local wants of the principal border and seaport towns, and the most direct English lines, with the great manufacturing dis- tricts of the midland counties of England, the shipping ports of the north, with Scotland, Ireland, and the mefro- lis. The principal line will, from two points of departure -Bangor and Portdynllaem -embrr.ce in its main course Carnarvon, Harlech, Dolgelly, by A I to Shrews- bury; leaving the latter place, it will proceed to Coal- brook Dale and the iron districts to Ludlou^TJeoininstcr, Hereford, Ross, Monmouth, Merthyr-Tydvil, Neath, Swansea, and Carmarthen, having its southern terminus at Pembroke. This Railway will comprise in its course nine seaports—viz., Bangor, Portdynllaen, Gloucester, Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Swansea, and Pembroke, including her Majesty's dockyard; and five branches are proposed, which will take in the towns of Welshpool, Montgomery, Newton, and Bishop's Castle—"iloss and Gloucester; Monmouth and Gloucester, crorsing the Severn two miles below that city, awl joininCi the Bristol and Cheltenham Railway; Monmouth and Chepstow; and Monmouth, Newport, and Cardiff. To effeet thes objects, it is proposed to raise the capital to £ -,000,CO ) sterling, and from the estimates it is anticipated that a good return will be secured upon this outlnv. GLOUCESTER, ABERYSTWITH, AND CENTRAL YFAT-.ES RAILWAY.—This line of railway is intended to commence at Gloucester, at the ternntius of the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway, and crossing the Severn above the city of Gloucester, pvocced by jNeweut, Ross, Hereford, Hay, Builtli, Rhayader, and (lie Devil's-hridge, to Aberystwith. In connection with this line is a scheme for the improvement of the harbour at the latter place, and the establishment of a harbour of refuge for the Chan- nel-a subject which has long been felt by nautical men to be of the first importance to the maritime interests; and as the construction of such harbours has long been con- templated by the Government, it is probable that consi- derable assistance towards this portion of the plan will be afforded by the Board of Admiralty, and such facilities are offered by the nature of the coast as to enable the carrying it out at a comparatively moderate expense. Central Wales has long lelt the want of means ol Unit rapid inter- nal communication which this railway will afiord, and by it the value of its mineral riches NA-ill be greatly enhanced, while the growth of timber, which, in many parts of Car- digan, Radnor, and Herefordshire, has hitherto been of little value, will lie turneu to ample proht. This line wi'l open out the most direct communication between tha me- tropolis and Ireland, saving a distance of several nilte, vs compared with Hothead, Portdynllaen, or Fishgnard, whether the journey is made to Dublin, Wicklow, or Wex- ford j aud, by means ot the raiWvajs about being carried out in Ireland, particularly that from Wexford to Trnlre and Valentia, this line will secure the most direct connec- ''M0 ne&rest point of embarkation for America. To all who are acquaitited with the localities through which this line will pass, its advantages will he sdf-eyideut, giving an outlet for the rapid transit of the staple produce ot AValcs-viz., woollen manufactures-aud tLe cider, butter, cattle, and sheep ot the principality and Ireland, and affording to passengers the most rapid and direct means of communication, not. only from Aberystwith to Gloucester, but in connection with the other great lines of the north-west and west of England and of Wales, with all the great manufacturing towns and seaports of the kingdom in general. The capital proposed is £ 1,250,000; and, from the large traflic insured for tiiiii line, there is little doubt of an ample return.
