The patient had been discharged from Guy's Hospital, without deriving the least benejit Jrom that Institution, Ö IV/i j-R^ .residing at No, 35, Trafalgar-street, Walworth •J- London, was some time since admitted as an In-door pa- Th0t<f u "v ^0SP'ta'> w'ith a bad leg of live years' standing, ine "es" of the leg was in many places nearly as hard as bone, it resembled in appearance the trunk of an old tree, being in knots and lumps it was greatly swollen, and had Nine Fright- ful Ulcers in it; she derived no benefit whatever at the Hospital, and returned to her home. Her case was so bad, that for three years she was carried up and down stairs every day like a child, being perfectly helpless. She was in this deplorable state, when she commenced the use of Holloway's Ointment & Pills, which in the course of about l'hree Months, performed a perfect cure, when every other means proved unavailing. A MA N S FACE PREVENTED FROM BEING EATEN AWAY. By Cancerous Sores, by means of Holloway's Ointment § Pills., JAMES WEBB, a brewer's drayman, residing in Robin Hood Court, Leather Lane, Holborn, London, had a large hole, which went through his cheek, and several other ulcers, which were on both sides of his face, eating all the flesh from it. He had been an in-door patient in Charing Cross Hospital, for six months, without being able to get a cure. He expected that no- thing could save his life, until he was advised, as a last resource, to use Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which immediately stayed the ravages of this terribie complaint, and ultimately healed all the Cancerous Sores, and with the exception of frightful marks in his face, he is as well as ever he was. A CASE OF LOATHSOME SKIN DISEASE, Attended with dreadful swellings of the whole body, that had re- sisted the treatment of nearly all the Hospitals of London, cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills., A child, five years of age, named JONES, whose father is a shoe-maker, living at No. 4, Horse Shoe Alley, Wilson-street, Finsbury, had beenafflicter. from the age of 16 months.with fear- ful and dreadful swellings all over her body, which used to affect her periodically at suet. times her face would change its color, and remain perfectly black; her body was always covered with large malignant sores. For this unknown complaint, the child was taken by her mother to neartyai) the Hospitals in London, et,ni7ifs of the surgeons of eminence; none appeared to under- A« a f ,ri« ieaSe* r? 11 e ^0t n° better from their treatment, whirh nnt'nni10^6' i-°^a?'s n,ment and Pills were tried, ease from the system 11'"hatrte ° eradicate,d the fS" health, and not the least vest £ e^ ofVH 1* D°W ^'T !° P ba s we IH ifgs, gou t^ ZPu^a,fr,y S greater certainty, and in hal using the ointment alone.

A NATURAL REMEDY AND CERTAIN CURE or Gout, Rheumatism, and Scrofula, Diseased Joints, Lumbago, Skin Diseases, Spinal Glandul r Affections, Scrofula Ulcers, Swelled Legs, And all EXTERNAL DISEASES, aiising irom an impure state of the Blood, or from DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS, as Sprains, Bruises, Wounds, Scalds, Burns, Chilblains,Chapped Hands, &c., &c. j THE following Testimonials, with authenticated cases o extraordinary cure, are from the highest and most respec- table authority Cod Liver Oil in cases of Gout and Rheumatism. The diseases m which the Cod Liver Oil is attended with the most extraordinary results. pre GOUT and RHEUMATISM. It is rather a curiouJ fact, and one that fully establishes the truth of what we have already stated, that some years acoCod Liver Oil was introduced into Manchester, by a celebrated German practi- tioner, then on a visit to Dr. Kay, Physician to the Manchester Infirmary, who was the first medical man who prescribed this rc. medy for the cure of Gout and Rheumatism, in this country. Mr. Darby, House-Surgeon and Apothecary to the same institution, gave the following account of an extraordinary cure: A wo- man, who labcured under the most excruciating rheumatism, being advised to luh herjoints with the oil, aftera few weeks,was testored to the use of her limbs, and was cured." Encoutaged by this extraordinary cure, Dr. Kay continued to prescribe it for other patients in similar cases, and with the same success. Dr. Bardsley, also, when treating of chronic rheumatism, observes, In instances, when eveiy other means have failed, Cod Liver Oil has operated in a manner, so uecidedly beneficial, as to excise astonishment." The circumstances under which this specific remedy is found most advantageous, are the following: — 1st. In the chronic rheumatism of elderly persons, when the muscles and tendons have become rigid, and the joints nearly inflexible, in conse- quence of the disease having been lirou. ht on by excessive labor, hard fare, dampness, and cold. 2nd. In women, whose consti- tutions have been worn out by repeated rheumatic attacks, espe- cially in the decline of lite; and patients who were unable either to preserve the body in an erect position or support its weight on the lower extremities, have recovered entirely by rub- bing the oil on the affected pitts., Dr. Hrljlel,s Upinion, with cases of cll1'e. Another celebrated physician, Dr. Brefield, found the Oil of the greatest benefit m cas"s where the Gout or Rheumatism appears to have seized upon the whole system, and when, as the I,v resuttof long suffering, the body is wasted, the process of nutri- ci-Mi very slow, there is a want of sleep, loss of the vital powers, languid expression of countenance, contraction of the muscles, &c ,&c.; and mentions the following case of Mrs. Meatman, 30 years old, who had been confined to her bed or room, and only in the warm summer months, experienced a slight allevia- tion of her sufferings Nearly the whole body was attacked, but principally the inferior extremities, back, and shoulders. Walking was ertiiely prevented by the insupportable pains, stiffness, aud swelling of the joints. This patient was was'ed, of a bleachv whiteness, and had lost all hope of relief, although originally of a strong and robust constitution. The use of the Oil daily, was soon followi.il by a beneficial result, and after some time she was restored to a tolerable state of health. This person, after this, was three years from the time he saw her, erfectly heatthy, well-pourished, blooming, and of robust ap ptarance. Cod Liver Oil in Old Age and Rigid Muscles Men'and women advanced in years, whose fibres may be sup- plied to have acquired a degree of rigidity, find surprising effects from the use of this remedy. Seme who have been crip- pier, for many years, and not able to move from their seats, have, alter a rew week's use of it, been able to go with the assistance of a s ick and by a long continuance have enjoyed the fatisfaction of being restored to the natural useof their limbs, which, for a long tim3 before, had beeu a burthen to them. Dr. Percival, of the Manchester Infirmary, says, I have had the fullest evidence of the successful use of Cod Liver Oil, and have contrasted, by ex- periment, its value with other remedies; these trials always terminated io favonr of the-kyit-tbnd patients who were under other treatment, by conferring with their fellow-sufferers, were so sensible of making a slower progress towards recovery, as to require a change of one remedy for the other. The above is only a small number of an immense number of Testimonials that have already been received in support of the extraordinar y properties of this truly wonderful NATURAL REMEDY. Prospectuses, containing additional evidence of the value of Cod Liver Oil in other diseases, with general remarks on its Natural and Commercial History, its Physical and Chemical Properties, Action on the Human Economy, &c. also particular directions for its proper application, will be sent to any address on the receipt of two postage stamps.

PAUL'S CHURCHYARD, LONDON TEAS. t S we are now celebrated in the metropolis for supplying A- Good and Pure Teas, and in order that the advantages we hold out may be equally appreciated in the country, we feel cilled upon to prove the following very important facts, viz..— That the hiirher nriced Teas are the cheapest, and that the worst trash of Teas mnorted into this kingdom, are not retailed in London, but find their way into the country, and so into the teVvit!?respeecUontheV importation of Tea, it should be univer- 1, v -kvavs borne in mind, that the expense of 4 E and ,h« d»., per pound) payable to our Government on ,ts arrival bore, are the same on all descriptions, whether good or bad consequently the purity and goodness of Teas depend on the prices paid for them when purchased in China from the gtowers. It is necessary, therefore, that ail should be aware that in tins country the quality of Tea increases more than the advance 0! prices would appear to justify, as for instance—the tea costing in China 2s. per pound, which (when the duty, namely 2s. 2|d. per pound, and the expense of carriage, profit, &c., is added) cannot be sold here under 4s. 6d. per pound, is evidently Twice as Good as that casting in China Is., which, when the duty, &c., is added, cannot be sold here under 3s. 6d. per pound, so that whilst the price increases only about one-fourth, the Tea becomes twice as good in quality. Having now made it manifest that the fine or higher prices Teas are the cheapest, we will direct attention to the following fact as corroborative of the statement that the vilest rubbish foisted on the public as "Tea" has been, to an incredible extent vended in the country. Between January 1st, 1843, and June, 1844, there have been sold, at the Tea Auctions, in Mincing Lane, at prices varying from one penny to sixpence per pound, 3,417,950 pounds of trash, dignified by the name of "Tea," which, after passing through various hands, nas at length found the country its prin- c pal channel of consumption. No one at all conversant with the sanitary properties of the Tea-Plant, its beneficial effects when good, and its pernicious consequences when bad, can fail to be struck with the incalcu. lable injury to health that must have resulted from the known consumption of the above. To prevent a grievance so truly deplorable in its consequences as that now pointed out, we have resolved to supply direct from NUMBER ONE, ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD, our good and pure Teas, at an unparrelled smallness of profit, and this will enable those residing at a distance from London, to prccure the best quality of Teas at very near the same prices they are now paying for the wortit. and so afford them all the advantages which the London consumers possess, who purchase from the direct source of supply. To carry this into effect, so as to be most advantageous and most convenient, we shall be happy to put up the Tea for those families who may unite together in favouring us with all order in parcels containing any quantity they may desire, and if re- quired, the orders of shopkeepers will be packed in cases contain- ing two ounces and so on to a pound upwards. COFFEES. As we are those on whom the honour devolved of carrying out the philanthropic measures of Government, in the recent Re- duction of the Duties on Coffee, we are determined to maintain unequalled our character for the combination of excellence and cheapness in that article, and thus fulfil the observation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, in his financial statement during the last session, announcing a further REDUCTION of the DUTY to 6d. per pound, said-" It is most important to extend the use of a bererage which is a great luxury to all classes, and which, in addition, is found to supersede other be- verages detrimenUl to health." We would now draw attention to the prices of a few Teas and Coffees that we can confidently recommend for general consump- tion, viz.:— Our fine full flavoured Black Tea at 4s. per lb. Uurfult Pekoe and Souchong flavoured Tea at 4s. Ad. per lb., and Our finest true rich Congou at 4s. 6 d. per lb., which is an old fushioned fine Tea, such as the East India Company used to bring ^All these Teas will give great and general satisfaction. Coffees mellow in ripeness and richness of flavour at Is 6d. and Is M per H> or lbs. of this choice Coffee for One Sovereign. As very important to the Invalid and General Consumers, we would notice our Perfectly Pure Arrowroot, imported from the Islands of Bermuda and Jamaica, without changing hands, which we sell at a price leaving sue ly a nominal profit- Bermuda, eighteenpence the Pound Jamaica, tenpence the ^"unoriginal Tins of 2lbs,,4lbs., Sibs., and 14tbs. The high In o orice namely 4s. per lb., at which good Arrowroot was formerly Lirt has hitherto prevented its extensive usefulness. All purchasers of SOlb.of Tea will be allowed a pound more lJn vvhat they pay for. being the trade overweight. All Goods vvi1! be delivered CARRIAGE FREE. A- no orders can be attended to unless accompanied by a resectable reference or remittance, we would suggest that pay- ment be made in the following manner :-when the goods do not amount to more than £ b. m value, by post-office order, when exceeding that sum. bv half-notes, or hanker s order.

For more than nine months I had suffered most se- verely from Rheumatic Head-Ache. Tbe pain was most severe, so much so, that I was often obliged to give up work entirely for divs together. I had heard from many persons, of the fame of Parr's Pills, and at the strong lecommendatton of a neighbour, purchased a box at your shop. I am very thankful I ever heard of these wonderful pills, and should not grudge the money, even if they were a guinea a box for before I had taken half a box, the violent pain 1 had so long suffered entirely left me, nor have I had any return of it since, although it is now more than six months ago. I have no objection to your publishing this if you think proper, as I should wish other sufferers to obtain the ease I now f.n:,0,v;, and 1 have so high an opinion of Parr's Pills, that I thin* they are worth a trial in almost every complaint. Yours, respectfully, E. WILKINS. Champion Office, March 5, 1845. UenUemen.—I think it only fair to mention that a man named scanton, residing in Sluo, porter to the Bianconi Car, on pur- chasing a box of your pills, declared to me that for the last eight rears he has suffered severely from a bad stomach, no food esting on it, and swelling often existing, and that after finishing me box, at Is.

SYDENHAM'S A NTI BILIOUS APERIENT For Both Sexes, ENTIRELY VEGETABLE, Prepared from the Prescription of that eminent physician Dr. SYDENHAM, who was justly styled the Father of Modern Medicine." A most valuable remedy for Bilious and Liver Complaints, Indigestion, Head-Ache, Giddiness, Loss of Appetite, Flatulency, Gout, Rheuma- tism, Heartburn, Spasms, Lowness of Spirits, Costiveness, &c. THESE celebrated FAMILY PILLS have been faithfully dis- pensed by the present Proprietor for more than 30 years, and have obtained from all grades of the community a oharacter and reputation which no medicine of a similar nature has hitherto acquired. Dr. PILLS being a most happy combination of vegetable matter, and not containing any mercu- rial preparation, require neither confinement nor alteration of diet during their use. Moderate exercise increases their good effects. They may be taken at any time when the bowels are costive and uneasy and Sydenham's Pills should be taken by persons of all ages, as they assist digestion, correct excesses of the table, give a healthy action and tone to the stomach, remove all complaints to which the digestive organs are subject, and will lead to health and cheerful old age. Families and the Proprietors otBoaiding Schools should never be without an adequate supply of this Admirable Family Medi- cine, as SYDENHAM'S PILLS may be resorted to with the greatest safety and success, on the first appearance of indisposition, and, by adopting this practice, many serious, and too often fatal, attacks will be entirely presented. The following is the opinion of an eminent Physician, prac- tising extensively in Bristol and Clifton :— I have examined the composition of Dr. Sydenham's Pills, and considei them a very valuable remedy in all complaints to which the Digestive Organs are subject, especially Bilious A f- fections, and an innumerable variety of diseases are the consequences of an irregular and imperfect action of the organs of digestion." „ The most delicate females, the young and aged, prefer SY- DFNHAM'S PILLS to most other aperients, as they are beneficial t,) their general health, improve their appearance, and, being a VEGETABLE PREPARATION, are, at once, mild, safe, and effectual.

DOMESTIC IYEWS. Mr. Charles Dickens has accepted an invitation to be present at the approaching grand soirte of the Manchester Atbeneum. A very mioute inquiry has been instituted among the grocers and retail dealers throughout the metropolis and adjoining dis- tricts, the result of which is both curious and intoetting. In the wealthier quarters, the increase in the consumption of sugar varies from ten to twenty per cent.; but in the eastern parts of the town, and poorer suburbs, it actually ranges from thirty to sixty per cent.-Gi.;be. 3 REPRESENTATION OF STROUD-It is rumoured that it is the intention of W, H.

PIRATES.—Mr. Saunders, of the St. Vincent, arrived at Bris- tol from Jamaica, reports having been spoken by a brigand a schooner, under Spanish colours, in lat. 40 38, on the 24th ult.; and from every appearance, corroborated by a man sent into the toretop for observation, they were pirates, and would, no doubt, have attacked the Vincent, had not a large American ship hove in sight at the time.lwben they hauled their wind, and were soon lost sight of.-Shippittg Gaxette. FATAL AccfDENT.—THRtE LIVEI LOST.—We regret to state. that as three men were employed lately in digging the foundation of new houses by the Penydarran rotd, oppsiie the blast furnaces, near Merthyr, the earth fell on them, and ibey were killed on the spot.

THE LATa FIRE IN ALDERMANBURY.—Power of the Coroner A jury of the inhabitants of the ward of Cripplegaie Within were impanelled before Mr. W. Payne, the city coroner, at the School.bouse, Philip-lane, Aldermanbury, to inquire into the cause of the late fire on the premises of Bradbury and Co. Manchester warehousemen, of Aldermanbury, on Aug. 21. The coroner remarked to the jury that, in Home's Mirror of Justice" the duties of a corone: were clearly laid down, and among those duties the coroner was to inquire of all buinings, whether they were caused by felony or mischance. If they were of opinion that they had been set on fire with a felonious intent, then it was their duty to inquire and ascertain what party was guilty of that felony. It was clear, therefore, in the olden time, that part of the coroner's duty was to inquire into all burnings, and he need not say how necessary it was to revive it at the pre- sent time. No one had the power to inquire into the causes of a fire, not even a magistrate, unless a party was in custody charged with causing it. The persons living in the neighbourhood of a fire were always most anxious to know how it occurred, and be thought the public would consider that he had done no more than his duty in causing a jury to be summoned to inquire into the circumstances of the late fire, who also might, by any suggestions thrown out, prevent in a great measure fires being so numerous. After a most patient investigation into all the circumstances of the ease, tbe jury returned a verdict That the fire was caused by accident." RBMARKABLE PRESENCE OF MIND.-One day lately one of Ihe workmen employed in a mining shaft of the Scottish Central Railway had a miraculous escape. Two here. at the bottom of he shaft were charged, and a fusee was placed in each to con- lect it with the powder. The person in charge applied a light o both fusees, and gave the signal to the person at the wiodlasa o draw him up. The signal was answered, and the machine nstantly set in motion but after a few turns of the windlass, the rope slipped off the barrel,who arrested the poor fellow's pio- gress in ascending the shaft, and was suspended a few feet above where the explosion was to take place, with no other prospect before him but instant death. With great fortitude and piesence of mind he called out to lower bim, which was immediately done, and, advancing cautiously to the burning (usees, he extinguished them. On examination, they were found burned to within half an inch of the powder. SINGULAR CIRCUMBTANCB.—The Mayor of Windsor, Thos. arke, Esq., was placed in a very unpleasant situation, a few tays since, in his journey from that town to Southampton, ac. .ompanie by his daughter, a young lady about twenty years of if nmrxprW #t ^,rn^orough station, from Windsor, iv which ant 8«C6 t0i by one of the fsst trains, inmber of servant*' Passen?er* are conveyed, a limited nasters and mi t ?

IRELAND. DUBLIN. AUGUST 23. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE ORANGE MAGIS- TRACY. The Orange journals of Ulster are hurling a bold defiance at the government, and dare Sir Robert Peel to the encounter with the magistrates and deputy-lieutenants who attended the recent Orange demonstration in Lisburn. Those journals admit and boast that those functionaries have committed themselves fully as much as Mr. Watson, who has already been dismissed, and they defy the government to grapple with them. The Northern Standard, the Orange organ of Monaghan county, refers to the Lisburn meeting, and tbe general Orange organisation •« The work goes bravely on. Peel has now got plenty of dirty work to do, if he dares to do it. Lord Downshire pinned Peel to the purpose, when he (old him be was prepared for the conse. quences of his act. Deducting from precedent, the noble lord calculates upon a dismissal, having made himself equally re- sponsible with Mr. Watson, and the question will be tried whe- ther the minister would be right in dismissing any of them. It is evident Peel fears this trial." The Tyrone Constitution threatens a general resignation of the northern magistracy, if the Premier should proceed to extremities. 1 hat journal says:—" The Marquess of Downshire was in the chair, and it will now be seen whether the government will dare to take the commission of the peace from that nobleman and the other magistrates who took part in the proceedings. Let the Loid-Lieutenant and the Lord-Chancellor supersede these honest justices, and every county in the north will come forward as An trim has done-every truly honest Protestant will attend the meelings-aod Sir Robert Peel will soon be made to feel that the Protestant voice of Ireland is not to be disregarded—that the loyal and the good are not to be degraded for their loyalty, with impunity. A general election is approaching-and the apostst* minister will then be told in the most emphatic terms, that his truckling to Popery will no longer be permitted." The Banner of Ulster, a comparatively moderate Tory paper, thus remarks :—" The meeting of Wednesday places the govern- ment in a most embarrassing position. Their organ, the Whig, endeavours to anticipate the executive in an apology for slirink- lof' lhe "eering, it says, should have adopted the original re- solution which caused Mr. Watson's dismissal, in order that the magistrates present might have incuired a similar responsibility. •P°,°8y _*s not the slightest weight. Mr. Watson, we are T** ^,8n\'#ied for committing a crime and, on Wednesday, our deputy.lieutenants, and twenty.four magistrates, join a number of their friends in a public declaration that the Exec. tive has not merely erred, bnt has pursued an impioper, oppres- sive, unjust, and ungrateful course towards an old and highly respected public servant. The most extensive landowner and the most influential nobleman in the county Down says, from the chair, that the government has acted in the most unconstitutional manner, and intimates that his own sentiments on the subject are confirmed by the legal opinions of counsel of high standiug in Dublin. The government must necessarily meet these statements and resolutions. According to the modern docti ine, that gentlemeu can only be suitable magistrates while they hold the principle of the executive, they must punish the recusant D.L.'s lOll J.P.'s. They have adopted their course, and must carry it on '0 its con- clusions, unless they will have all the world believe that they are beaten. Vanquished they are in either case. They cannot issue II supersedeas for each of the four D.L.'s and twenty-four J.P.'s without incurring further employment in that way; and they should immediately retrace their steps and reiustaieMr. Watson, unless they are prepared to deal out equal measure to the trans- grasora of Enniskillcn and Lisbnrn,"
