+ STANZAS. • o sweet wild Breeze—0 fairy Breeze, I've watched thee on thy way, O'er eay green lawns and blossomed trees At prime of merry May. Beneath thy kiss, where piimrose banks Their breathing fragrance shed, And lillies bowed their virgin ranks To greet thy playful tread Where harebell blue, and clustering star Of cowslip, paly bright, And yellow kingcup, danced afar Their morris of delight. I've watched thy rustling wing across The glen's green thicket sweep, Where mountain oaks exulting toss Their rude arms on the steep. I've watched for thee the twilight still Of tall aerial trees, And hearing, felt thy whisper thrill, o low mysterious Breeze And as thy light breath, fitfully, Disturbed my clustering hair, With startled eye I've looked for thee, Wild spirit of the air I've walked with thee, wild Breeze, along The winding path of hills, And heard thee in the low sweet song Of birds and rushy rills. With light gold mist, I've seen thee plough The dark-blue fields of sky, Where but the blithest lark and thou Could meet in heaven so high. I've watched thee on the ocean floor, The sunned and shadowy sea— And wished for wings to leave the shore All fetterless like thee. It was for this, 0 fleet of wing, My heart to thee was given, Because thou art the wildest thing, And freest under heaven. J. UU.

Benefits of Oddfellowship. Mark Randle was made an Oddfellow last night," said a young artizan in Moomoiithshire to his comrade, as they joined on their way to their employment, the morning after "todge night." Well, and what is Mark Randle the better for that?" asked Davies, the comrade, of his informant Heynes. Why I'll tell you by a dream, if you can spare time to listen as we go along," rejoined Heynes. It is but seldom I dream," pursued he, but so impressed was I last night with the solemn ceremonial of initiation, that when I went to rest, I remained a long while meditating on tbe blessed usefulness of our institution, in ameliorating the distresses of our brethren, and in softening, to the sick and dying, the horrors of disease and death; and while my mind was full of images wrought by these reflection*, I insensibly fell into a kind of waking slumber, in which I seemed to see the following circumstances pats iD reality before my eyes. —I saw Mark Randle as he stood in the lodge room—his face full of health, and his eye bright with the sacred pleasure of the present, and the fair anticipations of a long and happy life. I saw the cordial greeting of brotherly kindness exhibited towards him, in mere than common acta of courtesy and friendship. I heard the shout of welcome, as it received him into the Order— a well-accepted brother. I saw him sit down among the brother. hood, and mingle in the rites and ceremonies and social enjoy. ments of our mysterious unity. And then my vision changed; and I beheld him in the ranks of his fellow-men, demeaning himself with purity of heart and benevolent purposes towards his brotherhood and mankind at large. Again my vision wandered. I saw him standing before the altar, with a blooming maiden by his side and before them stood the,priest in his sacred robes of office. I heard the language uttered *hich united him with her he loved, in ties only to be dissolved by death. Then years seemed to have passed away, and I saw htm sitting down in the autumn evening, amidst his young and healthy children—his contented wife smiling by bis side; aod the whole scene pre- sented a picture of pure happiness and content, which the great of the earth might envy. lsaw him again but the vision was sadly altered now He was outstretched and languishing on the bed of pain, and over his pale face now and then came the fire of fever. But though sunken his eyes. and wasted his frame, yet around his countenance gleamed a light which spoke of in- dwelling resignation to the fiat of Providence, and contentment amidst the direst suffering. I heard him whisper to his sorrowing wife, Be not dismayed, my dear Mary, at the near approach to me, of the inevitable fate of all mankind; for amidst all my afflictions, I can remember how much, under the providence of heaven, the blow is softened for poverty has not yet entered oardwetting, and tbe terrible visages of Debt and Starvation or Pauperism have been kept from our threshold, by the generous aid which our beloved Order has showered upon me in the day ot necessity. I shall go down to tbe grave lightened of that heavy dread, which so often hangs o'er the bed of the dying father and husband—that of being pushed into the pit of the pauper, by mercenary hands and unfeeling hearts. I shall go to my last bed with the full assurance, that my darling fatherless children, and my poor widow, will not be left entirely friendless in a wide, cold world; but that the sheltering wiog of the noble institution which kindly wards off destitution from the widows and fatherless children of departed brothers, will protect them when I am no more.' And as in my vision I listened to tbe dying nan, I felt my eyes moist with tears, and my heart swelling wiihin me. But the wo-ds of the patient sufferer shone on my mind in their beautiful truth; and I said, Yes, starvation we have kept from your door-you shall not die the death of the pauper, nor shall your grave be the pauper's allotment; but we will shield your latest hours, and when you are departed, we will be the firm protectors of the widow and the bereft." Then the vision changed, and I saw the brothers of the Order, tittethe messengers of Mercy, standing by the bedside of the dying man, ministering to his mental and physical weaknesses, and warding from his last hour the fiends of earthly tribulation.— And then came the funeral. Oh, methought it was a sight that would call down the blessings of the Almighty upon the minds of those who so kindly cared tor the budy of the dead, and the ne- cessities of the lifiog, as they trod along, with measured tread, to the grave. And the vision changed for the last time and 1 beheld the widow and her children sitting down by their hearth, comparatively happy amid their deprivation, for death, though it had brought one great misery into the hearts of that household, had also caused to be poured out upon them the floods of solace and Christian benevolence, in the dire hour of need. I awoke from my dream from excess of emotion, but nevertheless, I knew that though my warm imagination had pictured a glowing scene, still its reality was of every-day occurrence among our Order; and I resolved to do all that lay in my power, to promote the success of our heaven-born society. And now, Davies, said Heynes, appealiog to his comrade, •• don't you think a man may be somewhat the better for being an Oddfellow, when sickness and death—which come to all men—overtake him 1" Why truly," said Davies. "I am beginning to think that you are right after all and to convince you of this, I shall turn your little story over in my mind; for you know I have a wife and two darling children, and I don't know what would become of Ibem, if 1 was laid up with sickness, or what my poor wife would do to bury me, when I died, or how they would keep themselves from the workhouse doors. I tell you candidly at once, I do think I shall become an Oddfellow." And Davies did become an Oddfellow; and he promises well to be an ornament to the lodge, and a better member of society than he was previously to becoming a brother, for a good Odd. fellow is true to his God, his country, and his household, and a better brother of the great family of the world at large.

ADVENTURES IN A STEAM BOAT. That vave-cleaving steamer, the Swift, left Newport river for Bristol on a recent occasion, with thirty cabin, and about seventy of the other denominated passengers. The evening was calm and serene, and the passage anticipated as delightful but alas the instability of human hope, and the vanity of mundane ex. pectatien! ere they had far progressed across the chance),the lovely scenery around them became gradually obscured by an envious fog, which soon grew as dense as a London November particular, which has frequently been bottled and brought down as speci- mens to the provinces. The prudent captain of the tight craft, instead of an onward progress eased her," soon after, stopped her," and cast anchor within two miles of the Avon's mouth he kept his men tolling the bell, which continually did tiokle, until the crew, like men at the pumps in distress as in a condition of greai peril, were thrice tired in succession. From the chorus of bells heard all around them, they found that other smoke jacks were like themselves wound up but could not go, and the appre- hension, as a certain Emeralder on board said, of a collusion," together with the nervous anxiety and ambiguous responses to anxious enquiries of the captain, led to terrors that the moring sun would light up the waters over their cold graves. However, there were some good men and true, and philosophers to boot on board, who, upholding the motto nil desperandutn," and having a heart for any fate, were deteimined to die game if they died a all, and theieforejproposed a committee of comfort. 'Tis strange how often in our saddest mood, When least we deem the mind could entertain Thoughts, ill according with its present vein, Some laughter-moving project will intrude." It was proposed to elect a chairman, and a gentleman" who had nothing else to do," and a good Valentine" in his youth- ful days, had the hooour of being appointed to that station and the choice proved to be quite judicious, for the night notwithstanding the surrounding peiils, was made up as bright as day, as the before-named Irish gentleman said by the magic- lantern of the worthy chairman's good humour. Pecple ofleo hear of the feast of reason and the flow of soul"—but the passengers began to enquire what the committee of comfort were going to give beside their beautiful sayings and songs, to comfort their inward man, as well as to delight their upward story. Thus having spoke, the chairman summoned the steward, and enquired the state of the larder, when, horrible dictu the report was there was a small bit of under-done beef, but bread was scarce. Upon which a gallant captain, who had left Bristol in the morning, with a view of visiting some friends at Pool, near Newport"—we suppose Ponty.Pool-but who lost the views of the said Poo) in the morning log, and who was transferred from the Usk into the Swift, at the mouth of our river, in order to return to Clifton, he having an engagement to a soiree at that place in the evening, and who thus was defeated in both objects, said-" Gentlemen, by the Duke of Wellington's nose, I know not whether I am near Bristol or Dublin, but I rather think the latter,—we shall, I think, have a de»il of a piuch in the commissariat department. I, therefore, propose that we shiill do now as we have done in marching and fighting times, when hard up—seize provisions wherever they may be found.—Now I have seen a couple of geese already plucked on the quarter deck, which I submit ought to be seized by the Com- mittee of Comfort." The owner blandly said, Well, gentlemen, under the circumstances you must itqpl fairly, and if you take possession of two ducks, already stuffed, belonging to a gentleman on board, and which, doubtless, were intended as a present like my geese, I suppose 1 must submit." The motion was carried neat con. The next question was that of the tOlallack of bread, and hence ensued an argument upon the corn laws whilst the birds weie roasting, with a fervour and hungry avidity for the opening of the ports, which would have made a convert to untaxed bread of even his Grace of Buckingham or Richmond, if there were even some of them in the field. The gallant captain, before mentioned, volunteered to take boat with a few of his brothers in distress, to seek bread from the neighbouring vessels "in the dead waste and middle of the night." and approached a ship, from which a pale light glimmered, calling out brig a hoy, can ye spare or sell us any bread ? Ye better be off ye pirates, was responded in a n <sal twang, or we'll give ye such a blow, up tha'Jye will not come down again for a fortnight— we are in quarantine, ye beggars. The boat then fheered away, and applying to a Cork steamer were told, in kinder language, that the divil a bit of bread they had on board, barring plg3. and they themselves, poor crathurs, were say-sick, and mighty bilious entirely. On returning to the Swift, it was found that 12 of the committee of comfort had supped upon the meats and scraps of bread that could be found in the lockers, and left tbe fragments of the birds for the bread foiagers, who looked unutterable things; but the eye of day opened, and morning at length broke, giving the Swift an opportunity of bringing the well-supped and un. supped members of the committee of comfort to ancient Bristowe-

HORRIBLE MURDER IN STAFFORDSHIRE, AND MUTILATION OF THE BODY. STAFFORD, SATURDAY MORNING, Nov. 15.—A most horrible murder was perpetrated on Wednesday last, at a place called Alsager's Bank, in the parish of Audley, in this county, which, from the shocking circumstauces connected with it, has produced the greatest excitement throughout the county. Tbe name of the murdered man was Adolphus Fielding, 49 years of age, respect- ably connected, living in Stoke-road, Newcastle. He was a potter by trade, but his sight declining, he became a hawker in small wares. The murderer is a stone-mason of the name of James Dean, he is a married man, separated from his wife, and lived with another female. It appears that about noon on Wednesday Fielding went into the cottage where Dean lived, who had been ill during the week, and had not been at work. It does not appear that there was any one else in the house at the time, excepting Dean's son, a little boy five years of age. Shortly afterwards, the wo- man who cohabited with him was met in the road by the child, who told ber that his father was beating the old man. On her hastening to the cottage, to her great horror sbe saw through the opened door the headless body of the nnfortuna'e man on the floor, deluged with blood, and Dean striking at the head of the murdered man with an axe. The alarm brought numbers to the spot, but, from the ferocious appearance of Dean, they were afraid to enter the cottage. SeeiDg the crowd, Dean took up a portion of the brains of bis unhappy victim, and threw them at the bystaoders. A collier, named Scott, more resolute that the rest, then attempted to secure him, and received several wounds about tbe neck and face, Dean having armed himself with a pair of scissors and a knife. The infuriated man then bolted the door and having placed the head of his victim on the fire, commenced blowing it with the bellows. It appearing to be the intention of the murderer to consume the body, several people got on to the roof of the cottage, and, by pouring water down the chimney, extinguished the fire. They then stopped the chimney up, and the force of the steam and smoke drove him to one of the upper rooms. The street door was then forced by the villagers, and the extent of the frightful tragedy was immediately apparent. The body still remained on the floor, and the head, when taken off the fire, was so burnt that it scarcely presented a human aspect. During this time Dean stood at the top of the stairs, armed with another axe, of a larger sixe than that he had just used, and repelled his assailants by brandishing it about, and throwing hot. tles and other things that he cou'd lay hands on at them. Eventu- ally, some policemen broke through the roof, and rushed upon him as he was crouched in one corner of the room. What with his blackened features from dust and smoke, and his clothes saturated in the blood of his unhappy victim, he presented a spectacle perfectly appalling. After very great resistance he was handcuffed, and then conveyed to the lock up" at Audley. An inquest was held on the body of poor Fielding, on Thursday last, before Mr. Harding, the county coroner, when, after hearing evidence which bore out the above statement, The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of wil- ful murder against the priaoner James Dean. On the coroner telling him the verdict the jury had returned, he said, I have a good deal to say, but I have forgot it; I did not want to kill him I did not kill aoy man did 11" He was then removed in custody of the police to Stafford gaol, to await his trial at the ensuing assizes.

SIR ROBERT'S SPADE. We all know how children are sometimes taught their alphabet by cakes. A gingerbread ABC peculiarly recommends such elements of learning to their business and bosoms. They are made scholars without knowing it. They digest vowels and con- sonants, and only relish more and more the increasing difficulty. We see it: the landed interest have laid some such trap for the unsuspecting Peel. Whether or no, they will make him taste the sweets of agriculture and, true to the reigning spirit of the day, they have caught him with a railway bait. A paragraph has appeared, stating that Sir Robert was about to turn "the first sod of the Trent Valley Line to which end a magnificent spade has been manufactured by Mr. Maleham, of Sheffield. Here is its description enough to draw water into the mouth of an Arcadian :—- In size and shape it is a regular navigator's spade, highly finished, with polished maple handle, and on the blade Sir R. Peel's coat of aims, inlaid with gold. The straps of the spade are beautifully etched. It is enclosed in a rosewood case, lined with blue ultramine velvet. On the ltd is a silver name-plate, with the inscription, 'Sir Robett Peel, Bart., M.P., Drayton Manor.' What a lure is this to Sir Robert, to win him to the agricul- tural interest! To make him hold by the spade to the last! To this end it is highly finished," that Labour may see its smiling face reflected in it! Aod then the handle is polished maple," pleasant to the touch and the" inlaid gold," so typical of the wealth of the labourer, whilst tbe rosewood case, and the blue ultramarine velvet, shadow forth his happy home and luxurious bed. Sir Robert, however, ought to have been fittingly habited for the occasion. A white satin smock-frock, Genoa velvet breeches, silk stockings, and patent-leather shoes, with diamond buckles in them, would have finished the picture of one of our bold peasantry-our country's pride. Some folks, however, who will see mischief in everything, see quite another meaning in Sir Robert's splendid spade they contend that it only prefigures some cutting measure of his on the Corn Laws, a measure, to be made as pleasing in appearance as Sir Robert's peculiar genius can make it, tut that, nevertheless—for all the gilding and soft velvet that may be associated with it is intended to go at once to the root of the question. The colour, "ullfamarine," is supposed to carry some allusion to corn from beyond the seas. -Punch. PRETTY SPORT.—The Morning Herald, in the Supplement of Monday, mentions the following logeoius method of killing tune Prince Albert, the Earl of Hardwicke, Mr. G. E. Anson, Colonel Bowles and Grey, took the diversion of shooting yester- day forenoon." In consequence of the detractive fever which recently broke out in her Majesty's ship Eclair, on the coast of Africa, and which continued even after the vessel had arrived tn thts country, the Privy Council has issued strict orders that no vessel shall be admitted into English ports, until it has been ascertained that the crews are in a healthy state. REPRESENTATION OF WORCESTER.—The rumour of the pro- bable elevation of Sir Thomas Wilde (the Liberal representative of theciiy of Worcester) to the House of Lords is again io circu- lation, and a successor of similar principles is talked of in the person of Mr. Edward Holland, of Dumbleton, Gloucestershire, a large landowner in the northern and eastern part of Wor- cestershire. A subscription, amounting to upwards of X300. has been en. tered into for presenting Wm. Lewis, Esq., Mayor of Worcester, with a testimonial on his going out of office on the 9th Inst. The mortality of London, and indeed, of England generally, shows a gradual annual decrease, whilst it is known the popu- lation increases considerably. The rates of premium for Life Insurance have been greatly reduced during the last few years, yet the offices continue as prosperous aa formerly. These facts clearly demonstrate that some cause, either unknown or un- heeded, must have produced such favourable results. Amongst these causes, the increased knowledge of anatomy and the many very valuable discoveries in medicine will stand most prominent. The small-pox, that annually carried off thousands, as been successfully combatted, vaccination and Gout, that used to claim its numerous victims, has been thoroughly van- quished by Blair's Gout aoll Rheumatic Pills-

ABERGAVENNY TOWN CLOCK AGAIN POORLY. j To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. Abergavenny, November 17, 1845. Mr. Editor,—It is a fact more true than any of us are willing to acknowledge, or are perhaps aware of, that we are all led by the nose by either some thing or person, or both some- times most willingly, and withal pleasantly; but, at other times, most annoyingly and mortifyingly too, sorely against our will. Now, sir, 1 do not know any person or thing whose influence and power in this way can be compared with that of a town clock. It is looked up to as an oracle always ortho- dox and truth-telling (and so it should be); and hence, good easy souls as as are, we do follow as its hands point; but. sir, I am very sorry to say that my confidence in the veracity of our town clock is violently shaken, because it has got a trick of lengthening or shortening the hours,—sometimes they are made up of 45 minutes, and sometimes of 70, in the same day. I will not impute motives to so respectable a public functionary as our town time-keeper, but I cannot help asking myself what is the matter ? Is it become tricky 1 Or has it some visceral complaint ? Is it dissatisfied with its situation ? I do not assert any one of these predicaments for certain; but I do want to know, and I throw out these hints that the case may be examined and rectified. That I do not complain with out reason, let me tell you, sir, that yesterday, Sunday—a prayerful day in our town—when the beautiful sight of mild, modest, and well dressed people, in peaceful procession, go to their church and chapels, is witnessed ;—for propriety's sake. I do not like to be too late, and for comfort's sake, not to too early; judge, then, Mr. Editor, of both my surprise and mortification, when on going into my place of worship yester- day morning, I found many eyes upon me, and a most im- portant part of the service over the timepiece pointing to 20 minutes past 11, whilst our town clock was striking that hour It was very awkward and distressing; but poor thing, to be charitable, I suppose it had had a fit some time between Sa- turday evening and this time. and recovering, did its best.— Do, dear Mr. Editor, insert this it may lead to a consulta tion on the state of the patient, whose disease is said to be "inward;" and you shall, as you well deserve, have the best thanks of one who would be PUNCTUAL.

ROYAL CLEMENCY. [From a Correspondent.]—At the Monmouth Spring Assizes of the present year, three boys, named John Pring, Edward Gibbons, and John Coles, who lived at Pillgwenlly, were con- victed of an alleged rape on a girl, named Catherine Jones, and sentenced to transportation for their lives. Various cir- cumstances. of a mitigating character in their behalf, having been brought to light, and facts of a negative nature ascer- tained as to the prosecutrix's previous character and habits of life, Mr. W. M. Townsend, at the instance of some humane individuals, obtained, at Newport and Cardiff, a mass of ex- culpatory evidence, backed by a memorial, which many of our readers may have signed. These documents he transmitted to Sir Frederick Pollock, the learned judge who tried the pri- soners. and were laid by him before the Secretary of State. Meanwhile the convicts were embarked for Hobart Town. Their case was, however, referred back to tbe judge, and, on his report, the following letter will shew the result:— Whitehall, 15th November. 1845. Sir,—Secretary Sir James Graham having carefully con- sidered the application in behalf of John Coles, Edward Gih- bon, and John Pring, I have the satisfaction to acquaint you, that, under all the circumstances of the case, he has felt war- ranted in advising her Majesty to reduce the prisoners' term of transportation to seven years. I am, Sir, your mostobed. humble servant, "S.M.PHILLIPS. Mr. W. M. Townsend, Cardiff-road, Newport." The friends of the lads feel greatly obliged to the late Mayor of Newport, and Justices, who took the trouble of investi- gating the various exculpatory declarations; and to the late Mayor, and another legal gentleman of Cardiff, who gratui- tously interested themselves in like manner, in their endea- vours for a revision of their sentences.

US K. We lately announced the re-election of A. Waddington, Esq., as Portreeve of this ancient borough for the ensuing year. On the Sunday succeeding his election, his worship attended Divine service at the Parish Church, where an impressive discourse was delivered by the Hev. W. Evans, the chaplain, from Deut. xxxiii. 25. After service the Portreeve returned in state to the Mansion-house, accompanied by a large body of his friends, who partook, according to custom, of his worship's hospitality. Sir William Oakes was unavoid- ably absent from this interesting part of the ceremony, on foreign service. We are happy to say that the utmost order prevailed, and not a single accident occurred.

At a fully attended meeting of her Majesty's counsel, held last Wednesday evening at the chamber of the Attorney-Geneial, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of cir- cuit and other reporting by members of the bar, it was decided that the practice in question is one to which no reasonable objection exists, and that the species of interference with the freedom of action of barristers, which has been attempted by the bar-messes of ceitain circuits, is quite uncalled for. GREAT FIRE IN TURKEY.—One-half of the town of the Dar- danelles has been destroyed by fire. At half-past eleven A M. of the 25th October the fire jpmmenced in the Greek quarter, a gale of wind from the north last blowing at the time. Although it was 110 early in the day, and 2,000 Turkish troops, with twelve fire-engines were on the spot as soon as the alarm was given, it sible to stop the ravages of the all-consuming element, and 600 houses were destroyed. The Defeats says :—" The marriage of the Princess Olga of Russia, with the Archduke Stephen, of Austria, is looked upon as certain. This prince, twenty-eight years of age, is son of the Archduke John, who had first married the sister of the Empress Nicholas. According to the fundamental laws of the Russian empire every princess who is to marry a Czar is obliged, before her marriage, to embrace the orthodox Greek religion. It is also a rule that any princess of the imperial family who marries a foreign prince shall continue, in her new country, to profess the religion in which she was brought up. The court of Russia had hitherto shown itself a rigid observer of this rule but it appears tbat important political considerations have in- duced it to give way in a certain degree on the present occasion. The Emperor Nicholas, who desires ardently this marriage, has, it appears, at last consented to his daughter's embracing the CII. tbolic religion, and bis presence at Vienna is all that is required to regulate tbe final formalities." THE LATE ELOPEMENT OF LADY ADELA VIL. LIERS WITH CAPTAIN IBBETSON. Every incident connected with the occurrence, from the mo- ment of her ladyship leaving the drawing-room on pretence of dressing for dinner; then quitting East Lodge and getting into a fly and heing driven to the terminus, there to consign herself to the protection of her lover; their subsequent trip by the train to the North, and final pull up" at Gretna, all these have been repeated in various shapes in all the papers. The "great facts" of the elopement have appeared in all their breadth and detail, and nothing now remaiolt but to gather the disjecta membra, of gossip which so startling an incident has produced. First, whatever opinion be formed of the elopement, there is no denying the cleverness with which it was planned, and still more, the boldness with which it was executed. The self-pos- session, nol iudicalive of a superabundance of filial affection, wi'b which the lady parted from ber noble parent, would have befitted a love-lorn maiden of far maturer years and greater ex- perience while the promptitude she displayed in making use of her tfme when once outside the lodge, gave indisputable tokens of genius, not only to plot but to carry out a resolve, of no common order in ladies who have seen only" sweet seventeen." Oh excellent young Jady! How much more knowing art tbou than thy looks." With the safe arrival at the Brighton terminus ended the first act in this stirirng drama, in which, so far, the chief performer had been herself. The Captain's part then commenced, and not to do him less justice than the lady, we are bound to add that his cue was taken with equal adroitness, followed up with a display of equal spirit and good generalship, and resulting in a denoue- ment perfectly satisfactory, no doubt, to both parties, though bitterly otherwise to the connections of the lady. Although the modern system of rapid travelling affords little leisure for love- making, yet it must be allowed that the velocity of a fast train seems admirably adapted to the exigencies of an occasion like this, and comes nearer to that splendid annihilation 01 time and space which is thought essential to "make two lovers happy." Of the gallant attentions and little tendernesses which heigh- tened the happiness of this blissful journey we shall say nothing. All that is material to be known is, that the passion.smitten pair arrived safely at their destination, having by several hours the start of Captain Villiers, who, with more than military dis- patch, had tried to intercept the fugitives before the purpose 01 their journey could be accomplished. Twenty hours from the time of leaving Brighton sufficed, it is said, to make those one who before were two-certainly a fine modern illustration of marrying in haste," as the noble father of the biide must have thought when he received in "hot haste," by the next post, a letter duly endosing a certificate of the union. We have, the authority ot the "leading journal" for stating that his Grace the Commander-in-Chief, da being applied to, proved a willing voucher for the peifectly satisfactory nature of the gallant Captain's character and connections Lucky Captain, to find a backer in such a business in the lion Duke. His Grace, however, is notoriously favourably to match.making—a fact which may have operated on his mind when giving a ceitt- ficate of Captain Ibbetson's respectability.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We regard the work before us, « The Silent Friend,' as a work em- bracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the medical pro- fession, for what reason we are at a Joss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not 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 pages."—Age and Argus. The authors of The Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly conver- sant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable lnnts it conveys to those who are apprehen- sive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era■"This work should be read by all who value health and wish to enjoy life, for the truisms therein contained defy all doubt.Fttrmer's Journal.

WITH ABUNDANT P It OOF THAT THERE IS A CURE FOR ALL!! HOM.OWAY'S OINTMENT. AN ALMOST MIRACULOUS CURE OF A BAD LEG Of five years' standing. The patient had been discharged from Guy's Hospital, without deriving the least benefit from that InstltutlO7I. MRS. FRY,residing at No,35,Trafilgar-street, Walworth, London, was some time since admitted as an In-door pa- tient at Guv's Hospital, with a bad leg of five years' standing. The flesh 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 tumps it was greatly swollen, and had Nine Fright- ful Ulcers in it; she derived no benefit whatever at tbe 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 Hollowaj's Ointment & Pills, which in the course of about Three Months, performed a perfect cure, when every other means proved unavailing. A MAN'S FACE PREVENTED FROM BEING EATEN AWAY. Bp Cancerous Sores, by meant rf Hollnway's Ointment Pills.. JAMES WEBB, a brewer's drayman, residing in Robin Hood Court, Leather Lane, Holborn, London, had alargehole, which went through his cheek, and several other ulcers, which were on both sides of bis face, eating all the flesh from tt. lie 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 hig life, until he was advised, as a lasr lesource, to use Holloway's Ointment and Pdls, which immediately stayed the ravages of this terrible 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 "r 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 been afflicted 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 btack her body was always covered with large malignant sores. For this unknown complaint, the child was taken by her mother to nearly all the HospitatsinLondon. and most of the surgeons of eminence; none appeared to under- stand her disease, and she got no better from their treatment. Asafortorn hope, Holloway's Ointment and Pills were tried, which not only gave relief, but completely eradicated the dis- easefrom the system, so that the child is now restored to perfect health, and not the least vestige of the lonnercomplaintremains. In all Diseases of the skin, bad legs, old wounds, and ulcers, bad breasts, sore nipples, stony and ulcerated cancers, tumours, swellings, gout, rheumatism, and lumbago, likewise in case of piles the pills, io all the above cases, ought to be used with the ointment; as by this means cures will be effected with much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require by using the ointment alone. The ointment is proved to be a cer- tain remedy for the bite of the Moschettoes, Sand-flies, Chiego- foot, Yaws, and Coco-bay. Burns, scalds, chilblains, chapped hands, and lips, also bunions, and soft corns, will be immediately cured by the use of the ointment The Pills are not only the finest remedy known when used with tbe ointment, but as a general medicine there is nothing equal to them. In nervous affections they will be found ot the greatest sevice. These pills, are, without exception, the finest purifier of the blood ever discovered, and aUGHr TO BE USED BY A LL Sold by the proprietor, 244, Strand, near Temple Bar, where Advice may be bad Gratis; at the Hereford Journal Office, and by all respectable venders of patent medicines throughout the civilised woild, in Puts and Boxes, at Is. l £ d., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., lis., 22!1., 33s: each.

SYDENHAM'S ANTIB1LIOUS APERIENT Q:f!J 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. THKSK celebrated FAMILY PILLS have been faithfully dis- N- pensed by tne present Proprietor for more than 30 years, and have obtained from all grades of the community a character and reputation which "no medicine of a similar natuie has huheito acquired. Dr. SYDENHAM'S PILLS being a most happy combination of vegetable matter, and not containing any mercu- rial preparation, require neither confinement nor atteratinnot 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 ot Boarding 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 adopung 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 :— 1 have examined the composition of Dr. Sydenham's Pills, and considet them a very valuable remedy in all complaints to which the Digestive Organs are subject especially Bilious Af- fections, and an innumerable variety of diseases which are the consequences of an irregular and impeifect action of the organs of digestion." The most delicate females, the young and aged, prefer Sv- OLNUAM'S PILLS to most other aperients, as they are beneficial to their general health, improve their appearance, and, being a VEGETABLE PREPARATION, are, at once, mild, safe, and effectual, The high opinion entertained of SYDENHAM'S FAMILY PILLS, by many of the most etnincutof the Faculty, in present prac- tice. (as well as the number ofglatilytng Testimonials the Pro- prietor is contantly receiving from persons of the highest res- pectability and standing in society, who have been materially Lenefitted by their uSe", renders any eulogiurn on their merits supetfluous, and must convince the most sceptical of the supe- rior properties of this- valuable established medicine, acknow- lodged by thousands as the best, 5ujest, and most effectual Family Medicine. These Pills are sent abroad by the London exporting houses. Merchants and Captons of vessels will find them an almost indispensable acquisition to their Medicine Chests, and they are so prepared as to retain their medicinal properties in any extreme of climate.

Gentlemen,—I think it only fair to mention that a man named Scanlon, residing in Sligo, porter to the Bianconi Car, on pur- chasing a box of your pills, declared to me that for the last eight years he has suffered severely from a bad stomach, no food resting on it, and swelling often existing, and that atternnishing one box, at Is. 1 ^d., he felt not only better, but well, can now eat any food, and his appetite and spirits increase. 1 remain gentlemen, your obedient servant, C. VERDON. Long Benton, near Newcastle, Aug. n, 1845. SIRS,—I beg to thank, and inform you of the wonderful effect of your PARR'S LIFE PILLS. I was long subject to shoitness of breath, with cough, See., but after taking your pills a short lime, I am not only cured, but feel quite young again, and, although an old man of 60, I feel so much better that I think I shall live to be ninety, at least. If you think this will be of seivice, you are quite welcome to print it. Yours, with mueh respect, PETER MURPHY. To the Proplietorsof Parr's Life Pills. From Mr. W. Alexander, Bookseller, Yarmouth. Great Yarmouth, March 27, 1845. GENTLEMEN,—Being recently at Norwich, I called upon a gentleman at his request. He said, I had been very unwell for two or three years, my stomach much out of order, and con- stantly felt a difficulty III breathing; I employed two medical gentlemen, and took a great quantity of medicine, but derived no benefit on the contrary, I found myself daily declining and getting weaker, so that I could scarcely walk Irom one street to another indeed I was in a melancholy desponding state. Ac- cordingly I purchased a box, and took them as directed. At the end of a week 1 was much better, having taken, 1 think, only eighteen pills; consequently, I continued taking them regularly, and when 1 had taken two boxes and a half i became quite well, and to this day I have enjoyed life, having now good health and good spirits. If, however, I feel any slight indisposiiion, I have recourse to the medicine 1 have so much leason to prize, which restores me to my usual good health. This gentleman wished his case to be made public, although, for obvious reasons, he could not authorise me to give his name. This timid, perhaps in some cases, prudent, cautiousness, is not uncommon. A neighboring gentleman has several times ad- mitted to me that he derives great benefit from the occasional use of Parr's medicines, but will not permit me to mention it to any one. I am,dear sir, yours respectfully, WILLIAM ALEXANDER. P.S. The Pills have entirely lemoved the cough and asthma.

THE foilowin? Testimonials, with authenticate cahapped JL extraordinary cuie, are from the highest and most respec- table authority Cod Liver Oil in cases of Goat and Rheumatism. The diseases IIJ which the Cod Livei Oil IS attended with the most extraoidinary results, are 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 aeoCod 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 re- medy for the cure of Gout and Rheumatism, in this country. Air. Darby, House-Surgeon and Apothecary to the same institution, gave the following account of an extraordinary cure: A wo- man. who laboured under the most excruciating rheumatism, being advised to rub herjoints with the oil, altera few weeks,was testored to the use of her limbs, and was cured." Encouraged 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 every other means have failed, Cod Liver Oil has operated in a manner, so uecidedly beneficial, as to excite 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 brought 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 (tie decline of life; and patients who were unable either to preserve the body iii an erect position or support its weight on the lower extremities, have recovered entirely by rub- bing the oil on the affected parts. Dr. Brefielu's Opinion, uith cases of cure. Another celebrated physician, Dr. Brefitld, found the Oil of the greatest benefit in cases where the Gout or Rheumatism appears to have seized upon the whole system, and when, as the result of long suffering, the body is wasted, the process ot nutri- tion 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. Meaiman, 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 whote body was attacked, but principally the inferior extremities, back, and shoulders. Walking was entiiely prevented by the insupportable pains, stiffness, and swelling of the joints. This patient was wasted, of a bleachy whiteness, and had lost all hope of relief, although originally of a strong and robust constitution. The use of the Oil daily, was soon followed 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 healthy, well- p ourished, blooming, and of robust ap- pearance. Cod Liver Oil in Old Age and Rigid Muscles. Men and women advanced in years, whose fibres may be sup- posed to have acquired a degree of risridity, find surprising effects from the use of this remedy. Some who have been cnp- pies for many years, and not able to move from their seats, have, alter a few week s use of it, been able to go with the assistance of a stick and by a long continuance have enjoyed the satisfaction of being restored to the natural use of their limbs, which, for a long time before, had been a burthen to them. Dr. Percival, of the Manchester Infitmary, 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 in favour of the Oil; and patients who were under other treatment, by conferring with tbeir 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 lestimonialsthat have already been received in support of the extraordinaiy 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 diiections for its proper application, will be sent to any address on the receipt of two postage stamps.
