LONDON, Monday. Although not active, the Money Market was steady. Instalments to the amount of £ 3,720,000 fall due to-morrow on the Egyptian loan, and the last 4 per cent. issues of New Zealand and South Australian Governments. A better inquiry for loans may therefore bo looked for; rittes, how- ever, keep low. Day-to-day advances were quoted at i-, and three months' bills were dis- counted at 14 per cent. The New York Asso- ciated Banks return shows some diatnbution of reserves The surplus :s now £ 11,585,000, show- ing a falling off from last week of £ 685,000. The Paris Cheque Exchange was telegraphed at 25. A dull tone characterised the Stock Exchange in all departments. Business was very quiet with a weak tendency, particularly amongst American and Canadian Railways. Speculation for a rise has been checked, and the markets have broken away. The Stock Exchange will again be closed on Saturday next to allow the necessary alterations to be continued. Consols were unchanged, at 100* to 100 for rlpliverv and account; Reduced and New 3 per Cents., 101 to 1014; New 2 £ per Cents., 8a to 89i A weaker tone characterised the English Rail- way Market. Few sales were made, and most tttocks were lower in consequence. Broken weather checked speculative purchases. Brighton traffic, showing a decrease of £ 1,480, was con- sidered disappointing, and also had a bad effect upon the market; but the South Eastern trafhc showed an increase cf £ 196.

FALSE PRETENCES AT CARDIFF. At the Cardiff police court on Monday, I William Williams was charged with having obtained goods from the shop of Mr Pope, Bute- street, of the value of 5s 6<1, by false pretences on the 29th ult.—It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that on the day named the prisoner visited his shop, 258, Bute. street and ordered an overcoat and trousers. He represented that he was Captain Kent, of the Gorey Lass, but prosecutor happening to know Captain Kent, remarked upon the circumstance that prisoner was not lie. Prisoner then said that he was Kent's nephew, and at present he bad charge of the vessel. Upon the strength of this prosecutor let him have a hat and handkerchief which he took away with him, it being at the time understood that the overcoat and trousers would be made by Monday morning. Evidence was also given with the object of showing that when in the shop prisoner stole lOd after which Captain Kent, of the Gorey Lass, belonging to Jersey, was called. He said he knew the prisoner, but the latter was no relative of his, and had never been master of the vessel which witness commanded. Prisoner's name was William Banks, and he belonged to Gorey, Jersey, of which village witness was a native. When apprehended by a constable in Bute-street, the prisoner had the handkerchief in question in his possession, whilst he was wearing the hat.— Prisoner was committed to take his trial at the quarter sessions.

DANGEROUS MISSLES. At the Borough police-court on Monday, Daniel Rees was charged on a warrant with having as- saulted and beaten Edward Ward on the 28th inst. Prosecutor's evidence was to the effect that on the night of the day named, he and the prisoner went into the long bar at the Great Western Hotel to have a drink. While they were there a woman with whom prisoner lived came in, and some dispute between prose- cutor and the woman took place. because he would not stand" her liquor. The woman I threw a glass at him (prosecutor), and he took hold of her to push her away, whereupon the prisoner threw at him a glass, which struck him a violent blow over the eye, and rendered him insensible. He was taken to the infirmary, which institution he had had to attend every morning to have his wound dressed.—Mr William Duff, surgeon at the infirmary, said that he saw the prosecutor after this occurrence. He had three cuts over the left eye, which could have been produced by one blow from a glass. The woman with whom prisoner cohabits, Ruth Rees, was called, and alleged that the row com- menced with prosecutor knocking her down. She added that prosecutor had two wives living. (Laughter.)—A man, engaged at the house to keep order, said he saw the prosecutor strike the woman Rees.—Mr Valpy said that prisoner had probably received a good deal of provocation. He would, therefore, give him the chance of a fine-he must pay 40s and costs, or go to prison for a month.

CHILD HOUSEBREAKERS AT NEWPORT. At Newport police-court on Monday, T. Ghain (10) and Wm. Brown (9) were charged with break- ing into the workshop of Mr H. Huzzey, and stealing a spokeshave and other articles; and also with breaking into the office of Messrs Richards and Hopkins, ironfounders, and purloining a variety of property. The prisoners broke into Mr Huzzey's workshop at mid-day on Sunday, spent four or five hours there, and ransacked everything. At Richards and Hopkins' premises, the children smeared valuable plans over with red ink, and spoiled £3 or £4 worth. The police found these pre- mises open in the evening, and P.S. Dukelow went to the house of Brown's parents, found that his hands bore traces of red ink or paint, and accused him. Brown then, with charming indifference, told the sergeant all about it, where he had hidden the arti- cles he had stolen, and who his confe- derate was. Messrs Richards' place had been entered by breaking a window. Mrs Brown told the bench that her boy was "good enough but Mr Ghain said his boy was his master. When he found him in possession of some foundry tools he thrashed him, and determined to take them back to Jor- dan's foundry, where he worked, imagining that they belonged to it. Each prisoner was sen- tenced to two days' imprisonment and eight strokes with a rod.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT CARMARTHEN. An elderly man, named Michael Wheeler, living in Arthurs-yard, Catierine-street, Car- marthen, made a desperate attempt at suicide about half-past six on Sunday evening. He has been unwell for some time, and was under the charge of the parish doctor, who visited him shortly before the affair occurred. About a quarter past six Wheeler volunteered to take care of the baby that evening, so that his wife might go to church. She replied that she would not go to church, and went upstairs to put the baby to bed. She was absent a very brief time, and when she got downstairs found that Wheeler, who was in bed in the living room, had got a razor, which was wrapped in paper on the dresser, and inflicted rather a deep gash in bis throat. He was bleeding profusely, and the razor was lying on a bench at the bed side. The neighbours were alarmed, and tried with wet cloths to stop the bleeding. Fortunately the police were at hand, and Mr Edwards, house surgeon at the infirmary, arrived at about quarter to seven, Mr Lewis Hughes, surgeon, calling soon after. Wheeler, who is a Catholic, then called for the priest, aud declared that he would die after he had seen the priest, but not before. Father Carolan was sent for, and arrived in all haste, and Wheeler was afterwards taken to the infirmary, where he was carefully watched throughout the night. On Monday morn- ing he was reported somewhat better.

FOOLISH FREAK OF A WIFE AT CARDIFF. A married woman of middle age, named Ma. dalene Smith, residing at 47, Mount Stuart-square, shortly before three o'clock on Saturday morning had her leg broken by a fall of 14 feet from a bed- a doi^n<^ow* 'ie ^lusban^ and she bad had drinkshethlfill^bie, andin a freak of temper and She at once got into the.street, afterwards stated, "to frig a*'V on'y> as However, she either fell or threw illy.. ,cus«un' the consequence was Jl fractured leg, wh'lcil to be dressed at the infirmary. The woman was quite collected when she arrived at the institu- tion, andjjbore the painful operation of re-setting the limb, not merely with fortitude but with aplomb, contriving even to make some jocular re- marks on the situation.

EISTEDDFOD ADJUDICATIONS. TO THE EDITOR. SIB,-Having read the report of the adjudica- tion on the great choral competition in your issue of Saturday, June 29th, I and many others feel dissatisfied with it. On comparing this adjudica- tion with those usually given by Dr Parry, Mr Jenkins, Mus. Mac., anu other well-known adju- dicators, it seems but a mere juigte of words and phrases strung together to baffle public opinion. In a national eisteddfod, where choirs of such repute compete, I tlink that both for the benefit of the competing choirs and of the public at large the adjudicators should give a minute detail of the deficiencies and superiorities of each choir, especially when they nave the time to do so which was allowed the adjudicators in this case. Take for instonce the first choIr-the Rhondda Philhar- monic Society. No mention whatever is made of their performance of the third chorus. In the second and successful choir we have it that the contraltos were weak in several parts. These parts were not pointed out, so that we must take it for granted, whether it is true or not, that they were weak. These were not the only defects, but the adjudication throughout was not detailed enough to enable those who were not present at the eisteddfod to form an opinion of their own. The majority of those present showed a preference for the Llanelly United Choir before their mishap, when, accord- ing to the adjudication, it seems that, even if this unfortunate accident had not occurred, the prize would not have been awarded to them. Trusting that you will insert these few lines, I am, &c., FAIR PLAY.

THE EISTEDDFOD LATIN HYMNS: TO THE EDITOB. •SIR,—To the general public it has, doubtless, been a matter of surprise why there was no com- petition for the translation of the Latin hymns at the National Eisteddfod. However, if it were known that as to at least two verses it was a matter of impossibility, as far as I can see, to comply with the conditions, the surprise would be considerably lessened. The verses I refer to are the second and third in Hymn 8, and are as follows n' Non ex virin semine, Sed mystico spiramine Verbuin Dei factum e3t caro Fructnsque ventris floruit. Aivus tumescit Vii-giiiii Claustra pudoris permanent, Vexilla virtutum micant, Versatur in Templo Den-. Now, I challenge any of your readers to produce a faithful translation of the above even fit for publication, not to say "suited for congregational singing," as prescribed by the conditions. -lam, &c., J. D. WILLIAMS. 16, Park street, Swansea, 28 Aug., 1885. [Whoever gave out tho above verses for transla- tion must either have forgotten to look them over beforehand, or must be ignorant of the language in which they arc written. They arc perfectly scandalous.—ED. S. W.D.N.]

WELSH FOOTBALL UNION. A meeting was held at the King's Head Hotel, Newport, on Monday evening, to arrange the fixtures for the forthcoming football season. Mr H. J. Simpson presided, and amongst those present were Messrs J. Bryant, Swansea; Griffiths, W. Wilkins, Llanelly; A. Duncan and W. H. Treatt, Cardiff; J. Harding, T. J. S. Clapp, C. E. Parsons, J. Bellerby, Newport D. T. Lloyd, Carmarthen G. Williams, Pontypridd J. Norman, Neath; etc. On the reading of the minutes a conversation arose as to the international fixture, Scotland v. Wales, being held at Cardiff instead of Newport, as recommended at the spring meeting held at Swansea last April. A general feeling was expressed that international matches should be held in turn at the principal towns in Wales, and on this ground the Llanelly represen- tatives supported the alteration. Ultimately a vote was taken on the subject, when the amend- ment, proposed by Mr Treatt, and seconded by Mr Norton,. was carried by 10 to 3. The match consequently will be held at Cardiff. -On the proposition of the chairman, it was agreed to tollcw tho practice adopted by the Scotch and English Unions, and to advance Mr J. T. D. Llewelyn, Swansea, to the position of president of the union, in the room of the Ea.rl of Jersey, and to add Messrs C. P. Lewis (Llando- very), Horace Lyne (Newport), W. D. Phillips (Cardiff), and F. L. Margrave (Llan- elly), to the list of vice presidents, these gentlemen being all old international players.—The committee for the eastern district was appointed to consist of Messrs Rosier (Itisca), A. Duncan (Cardiff), and Mullock (Newport); and for the western dietrict (after a ballot had been taken) of Messrs Lloyd (Carmarthen), Wilkins (Neath), and Knill (Swansea). Thefourth name proposed was that of Mr Price. Messrs C. E. Parsons and Wilkins were appointed auditors.— Several questions were asked as to the different items appearing in the balance sheet, of which the secretary (Mr Mullock) gave the details, which were satisfactory, and the accounts were adopted. A list of proposed new duties for umpires and referees was then considered. Amongst these were that the referee should l'e provided with a whistle, and that, when a scrim- mage was occurring, it should be within his power to stop the game if he feared any player would be hurt also that unnecessary delay in falling upon the ball, or in throwing out from touch, should not be allowed.—The draw for the chal- lenge cup competitions then took place. Seven <i»t of 45 clubs entered, and these were drawn as follows:— (A) Llanelly—a bye. (B) Newport v. Neath. (C) Pontypridd v. Carmarthen. (D) Swansea. v. Llandilo, (E) The winner of B to play winner of C. (F) The winner of D to play winner of A. The winner of E to piay winner of F in final. A vote ot thanks to the chairman brought the meeting to a close.

CRICKET" I ZINGARI v. GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND. In dull weather,thls match wasopetiediat Scarborough on Monday. A start was not affected lIntil 1 o'clock, when I Zingari, having won the toss, sent in Studd and Walker, to the deliveries of Grace and Rock. With only 12 scored, Studd was caught at long on, but on 8teel coming in an excellent stand was made. The total was carried to 79 before Steel was bowled for a caoitaily-bit 37. Lyttolton and Whitfield were soon dismissed, but not so Webb, who, on joining Walker, batted finely, and a grand stand was made. 133 runs were added before Walker was stumped for a grandly- liit 111; but his innings was somewhat marred by two chances he gave. When time arrived only six wickets had been dismissed for 274, Webbe being not out with a-inaeiiiflceiit 82.

A GIRL OF FOURTEEN CHARGED WITH DRUNKENNESS. At the Cardiff borough police court on Monday—before Mr Valpy, Alderman Jones, and Alderman Lewis Margaret Casey, a child, 14 years of age, was charged in custody with drunkenness, refusing to quit the Antelope public-house, Bute-street, and breaking a pane of glass. It appeared from the evidence of the land- lord that the girl f came into his house at ten o'clock on Saturday night, selling flowers. He asked her to go out, and sent for a constable, when the prisoner picked up a glass and threw it at him. When outside she threw a stone at the windows, and broke one of them, doing damage to the amount of 18s 6d. The witness could not swear that the girl was drunk.—Prisoner now said that the landlord beat her when she went to the house to get 2d from a young lady, who owed her that sum for flowers.- A constable, who arrived on the scene while prisoner was being dragged away from the house by her friends, said that she was very much the worse for drink.—The Chief Constable gave the girl bad character. He said that she first appeared in the dock at the age of ten years.— 1 he girl's mother, on being questioned by the bench as to why she allowed her daughter to lead this sort of life, said that the child earned 43 a day by selling flowers.—The bench sentenced the girl to 21 days' imprisonment. —The mother Oh, that is very hard. The prisoner I have been there (prison) many times, but never did so much as that all at once.

A WHALER CRUSHED BY ICE. LOSS OF LIFE. Particulars have been received of the loss of the whaling barque Napoleon in the Behring Straits, and the drowning of many of the crew. The disaster occurred on the 1st May, but the details have only just come to hand. The Napo- leon was working the lead in the Behring Straits when about 7 p.m. she was struck by an im- mense piece of ico. In a few minutes afterwards it was found that' her lower hold was full of water. The boats were launched, but they had hardly got clear when the vessel rolled over. Two of the boats were afterwards picked up by the schooner Jas. A. Garfield. These contained the captain, second and fourth mates, and several other members of the crew. Three of the crew had died from exposure in the open boats before they were fallen in with by the rescuing schooner. Two of the boats were missing, and it was feared that there was no chance of their ever again being heard of. The despatch did not mention how many persons were in the two missing boats. The Napoleon was on her usual whaling cruise when the disaster happened. She was one of the American fleet of whalers, and was 306 tons register, but would have on board a large number of hands for her size.

The first batch of 50 convicts who are to work on the new harbour works at Dover arrived in the town from Pentonville on Monday afternoon. Major Farquharson, the newly-appointed gover- nor of the convict prison, Dover, is lying danger- ously ill of typhoid fever. u-

THE WHITTINGTON LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. The thirtieth annual general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the offices of the company, 58, Moorgate-street, London, on Thursday, July 23rd, under the presidency of Mr J. Ebenezer Saunders, J.P. Mr A. T. BOWSER (the manager) read the notice conveiiing the meeting. The following report was taken as read "The directors have much pleasure in acquaint. ing the shareholders that, notwithstanding the continued depression of trade, which ha3 un- favourably affected the business of life insurance, the Whittington Life Assurance Company has during the thirtieth year of its existence continued to make steady progress. A comparison with the figures of the previous year—which was the trien- nial bonus year—shows that, as regards both the number of proposals and the total amount assured, there has been a satisfactory increase. On the other hand, there has been an equally satisfactory decrease in both the number and the amount of the claims. The proposals received were 783 in number; for the insurance of £ 227,078. Of these, 36, for insuring £ 10,276. have been declined, and 626 policies have been issued, for £ 170,356. The remainder have not yet been completed, or are in abeyance. The revenue for the year, from pre- miums and interest, has been L53,584 Os 4d. The total fuuds of the company-after providing for all outstanding claims and for all liabilities-were, at the end of the year, £ 145,488 9s 2d. It is with much regret that the directors report the death of their esteemed colleague, Mr John Cook, who for many years served the company effectively as one of its directors, and was most active and successful in promoting its business. The direc- tors who retire from office are Messrs Kidd, Battye, and Stacy, and being eligible, they offer themselves for re-election. The auditors, Messrs Scrutton and Marples, also retire, but offer them- selves for re-election. The directors once more invite the hearty co-operation of the various con- nections of the company in furthering its interests by inducing their friends and neighbours to enrol themselves among the policyholders of the '\Vhitting-ton.' In proportion as they are successful, they will have the gratification of knowing that they are not merely strengthen- ing the company, but are making it increasingly a means of promoting the comfort or of mitigating the misfortunes of those who avail themselves of the advantages which a well conducted system of life assurance unques- tionably confers. (Signed), J. EBENEZEK SAUNDERS, Chairman. ALFRED T. BOWSER, Manager. 58, Moorgate-street, London, July 10th, 1885." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, said it was a pleasant duty, for although the report itself was about the shortest they had ever had, the balance-sheet was about the most satisfactory. (Hear. hear.) He believed that in the thirty years' existence of the company thoy had not had such a good financial report placed before the shareholders at any an- nua! meeting. The funds had during the year been increased from L134,679 to 2145,488 the money which they had put by, LIO,809, being the largest amount that they had ever put by in me year in the history ot U,Q company. (Hear, hear.) The total cJaims and paid by them during the year 1883-4, was £ 28,b/c „ncj during the year just closed, including tne boniw abl werQ £ 26,381, so that whilst, on the other u«. A tiieir revenue had increased during the year by £ i,->cr} their claims had decreased by over £ 2,000". (Hear, hear.) The next important item was the increase in the investments in Government securities, mortgages on property and loans- which had risen from about E106,085 to over £ 116,879. The business of the three months since the accounts were made up showed I'n increase, which, he hoped, would be a foretaste of a continuance of their work during the year. Dr. DAWSON BURNS seconded the motion, ind stated that he had been connected with the in- stitution for about two-thirds of the 30 yens -jhicli it had been established, and he had watchid ''T- Y'ith considerable interest and satisfuj- ucm at it ;ro„se(j more and more. I lie resolution was then carra^ unanimously. Mr SCRUTTOST proposed, and Mr J. CARVEIL WILLIAMS seconded, the re-election of the directoB who retire by rotation. After the re-election of the auditors, and tht usual vote of thanks, the meeting terminated.

FATAL FALL INTO A CARDIFF DOCK. At the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Monday, the deputy boroug coroner (Mr H. Lt Grover) held an inquiry touching the death of Cornelius JRyan (24), cementer, residing at 11, North William-1 street.—Richard Stone stated that he was a friend of the deceased. On Sunday morning, about ten minutes after twelve, the latter was going from the qnay to a steamer in the junction dry dock when he caught his foot in one of the battens—cross-pieces of wood for securing a foot- ing—and falling sideways, was precipitated into the dock, a distance of 30 feet. In the descent he struck against one of the shores of the vessel. Witness was below, and happened to see Ityan fall. He rushed towards the spot and raised the deceased, but he never spoke. He died after removal to the hospital. There was plenty of light, there being the electric light and the dock lights alongside the dock. Deceased was quite sober, and the gangway was properly fixed. -James Barry, 18, Samuel-place, corroborated, except in regard to the lights. The electric light he did not see, and he was quite positive there were no dock lights, though, ho added, there ought to have been. He was five yards behind the deceased, and all he could see was by the aid of the moon.—In reply to the foreman, witness said he and deceased were going up the gangway with the object of letting in water to the ship.— The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death."

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. [FROM MONDAY'S "MARK LANE: EXPRESS."] With broken weather and cold nights the harvest has been prolonged in the south, and in the north a commencement has been delayod. In the important wheat growing districts of Lincoln- J shire and Yorkshire harvest is not very forward. Trifolium, and tares, and mustard are being sown freely. The cold nights have checked the autumn growth of grass, and keep is very scarce con- sequently the values of stock of all kinds show no improvement. With regard to trade, there has been no quobblange in values since last Mon- day's decline of Is per quarter,!and there has been no improvement in the demand. New barleys come forward rather slowlv. and thev show vei-v varied quality and colour. New oats are mostly of fair quality. The trade fcr foreign wheats, off stands in London, has shown no change from Monday last, when values for most descriptions were 6d to Is lower to buy. There has been no life in the trade either da the part of buyers or sellers. The demand is small, and there is no pressure to sell. Foreign flour has met a very laboured sale, and the same may be said of other articles, which, however, remain quotably uu- cilanged.

THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD, ABERDARE. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—Permit me to call attention to an omission in the account of the prizes awarded in the late eisteddfod. No. 18 in Wednesday's proceedings, for the best six designs to illustrate Ceiriog's oem "Mvfanwy" £10, given by the National Sisteddfod Association. Adjudicators, B. S. { Harks, W. Cave Thomas, and Mynorydd. This prize was intended to act as a stimulus to the art students of the principality, and the designs were to be made suitable for publication in an illustrated edition of the poem. Only three sets were sent in, one of those possessed considerable ability, and the adj.idicatois were unanimous in their opinion that it was in every way worthy of the prize. The winner was not present, but it was publicly announced that he was Mr Leonard Hughes, of Holywell. As one of the adjudica- tors, and a member of the council of the National Eisteddfod Association, I trust you will not think me obtrusive in requesting your kind insertion of this letter.—I am, &c., WILLIAM I>AVIE8 (MYNORYDD). Merthyr Tydvil, Aug. 31st, 1885.

A CHALLENGE TO THE DOWLAIS CHOIR. TO THE KDITOK. SiB,The letter you published on Saturday by One of Them challenging the Dowlais choir to appear against the Llanelly choir is certainly a good attempt at creating a sensation. If One of Them" is a member of the Llanelly choir, will he kindly write his next letter over his own name so that the Dowlais people may know that this challenge is no hoax ? It is not thought here that One of Them is a Llauelly choir member. Personally, I do not think that any member of the Llanelly choir would write such a letter after Thursday last. If, on the other hand, "One of Them is one of that large body of Llanelly who staked heavy bets in their vanity and presumption, may I advise him not to be so foolish as to throw any more money away ? The safest way for One of Them" and his friends is to keep their £125 in their pockets. The Dowlais choir did not go to the eisteddfod in any spirit of betting, or merely for the money to be gained, but to support the institution that has for its object the cultivation of Welsh talent, and the bettering of people generolly. If the challenge be valid let it be given under the hands of the officials of the Llanelly choir, and it shall be con- sidered, or, better still, let the Llanelly people acquaint the Dowlais people when their choir in- tends to compete at a. National Eisteddfod, and a choir from Dowlais shall meet the Llanelly choir. In conclusion, I may point out that in view of the adjudication given at Aberdare Eisteddfod, any capital which is made by the Llanelly people out of the mishap which occurred in the page turning will be as childish as it will be unjust. We are very sorry that this misfortune happened to the Llanelly conductor, because the result would have been the same in any case. Did not the adjudicators give it that the prize was awarded to the Dowlais choir without any reference to the mishap of Llanelly 1—I-am> &c., A IOVE OF MUSIC, BUT NO GAMBLER.

KNOW There is not the slightest doubt that there is a possibility of restoring and beautifying the hair. The greatest chemists tell us so, and modern proof has been offered in many preparations. That there should be one of superior excellence among these may also be admitted, and the best test of that sur- passing excellence would be the lasting patronage received and fame allowed Mrs S. A. Allen's World's Hair Re. storer. MRS. S. A. ALLEN'S HAIR RE- STORED is acknowledged by all to be most efficacious for restoring, invjo. rating, beautifying, and dressing the hair, rendering it soft, silky, and glossy, and disposing it to remain in any desired position quickly clensing the scalp, removing Dandruff, arrest- ing the fall, and imparting a healthy and natural colour to the hair. It never fails to restore gray hair to its original youthful colour. It act3 directly upon the roots of the hair, giving them the natural nourishment required. ONE COTTLE DID IT." That is the expression of many who have had their gray hair restored to its natural colour, and their bald spot covered with hair, after using one bottle of Mrs S. A. ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER. It is not a dye, it can do no harm. Every one who has used this pre- paration speaks loud its praise. If you wish to restore your hair as in youth and retain it through life, without delay procure a bottle. 74436 BOROUGH OF NEW P O R T JL3 WILLIAM WILLIAMS, 12 Lower Merchant. street, behind the Town-hail Corporation bill-ooster and crier.
