Dear Sir,—The annexed from a rheumatic patient we for- ward to you in case it should be of any use. Yours, Boston, Nov. 23, 1853. BRAY and HAYES. I have been a great sufferer from Inflammatory Rheu- matism more or less during the past twelve years I was confined to my bed for three months at a time in quite a helpless condition. I have been under the care of some of the most distinguished members of the medical faculty in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, but have never been able to get relief for any length of time until I was induced by a friend to try Blair's Pills, which I found to be quite efficacious. Since then I have not suffered from Rheumatic pain." Boston, Oct. 20th, 1853. "ELISHA 1. PITTS." FURTHER PROOF OF THE EFFICACY OF BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, Forwarded by Mr. W. H. Taylor, Warminster,— W. PENNY, of Corton, near Warminster, Wilts, was afflicted with Rheumatism to such an extent that he could not move hand or foot; he was recommended by a gentleman to try Blair's Pills, and accordingly procured a box at Mr. Taylor's, of Warminster, from which he derived so much benefit that he sent for another, which effected a complete cure." JOHN J. GILES, Esq of Frimley, near Bagshot, says:— Having suffered much from acute Rheumatism I was in- duced to try your Blair's Pills, and beg to bear my humble testimony to their efficacy." MR. WILLIAM COURTENEY, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says :—" I had resort to your Pills, and within two hours 1 was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought really to be known all over the world. Among the many discoveries that characterise this event- ful age, nothing has conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity as that important discovery for Gout and Rheu- matism, BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC rILLS; they require neither attention nor confinement, and are certain to prevent the disease attacking any vital part.

The HUMAN BODY, like the vegetable world, undergoes complete renovation in the springAn eminent naturalist and physiologist has lately put forth the novel and startling theory that once in seveit years every particle of the frame is entirely renewed, although the process is gradual. Be this as it may,. what is certain is, that men, like plants, in the spring recewe increased vigour and substance. The SPRING has always been remarked as a period when disease, if it be lurking in the system, is sure to show itself. The coldness of winter renders torpid the acrimonious fluids of the body, and in this state of inactivity, their evil to the system is not 'pei-ceived; but at the Spring these are aroused, and, if not checked, mix up and circulate with the blood, and thus the whole system is contaminated. PARR'S LIFE PTLLS, judiciously taken for two or three weeks, will rid the body of all that is noxious, and produce health and com- fort. Persons troubled with scorbutic affections are strongly advised to try them at this time of the year in a few days they will perceive the powerful clearing and invigorating properties they possess. THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS IN FAVOUR OF From highly respectable parties, are confidently submitted to the public. This singularly efficacious medicine is now being introduced into every family, and rests its claims for patron- age on the most creditable authorities Read the following and judge for yourselves. The astonishing effect PARR'S PILLs have had upon me is such that I can scarcely believe that I am the same I was a few months ago I felt then as though my life was nearly ended; now I feel hearty and able to undertake any de- scription of work and exertion, without feeling that excessive fatigue I did previous to taking them. It is really and truly new life to me I have given this statement voluntarily, for the benefit of those of my fellow-creatures who know nothing of OLD PARR'S wonderful PILLS.CHAS. FOSTER, Ground- keeper to Henry Shepperd, Esq., Lincoln. Mr. KOYLES, of Caistor, adjoining Yarmouth, had a com- plication of disorders. He was in a high degree nervous, was also bilious, and so distressed by an asthmatic affection that he, for four years, was unable to work at his business. After taking two boxes of Old PARR'S LIFE PILLS, he de. clares himself cured of his most distressing complaints, and is enabled to go through his work as usual; and this, uuder Providence, he attributes to the use of Parr's medicine. From Mr. JOHN SUTCLIFFE, Leeds Road, Bradford.— Gentlemen,—Having witnessed the beneficial effects of PARR'S LIFE PILLS on a friend of mine, who was much re- lieved in a case of general debility, I began to try them myself, and I beg leave to make known to you that I never received so much benefit from any other medicine, and I feel confident of a perfect cure. I told my surgeon what kind of medicine I was taking, and he said that I could not take anything better. Mr. J. HOLT, of Preston Brook, near Warrington, who has been suffering under a severe bodily complaint for twelve years, and has been attended by several of the most eminent surgeons, without receiving much benefit, has at length been effectually cured by taking PARR ,s LIFE PILLS. TO LADIES. PARR'S LIFE PILLS are especially efficacious in all the variety of ailments incidental to the fair sex. Ladies even of the most delicate constitutions, will find them particularly beneficial, both before and after confinement, and for general use in schools they cannot be too strongly recommended. They mildly and speedily remove all Skin Eruptions, Sallow- ness of Complexion, Nervous Irritability, Sick Head-ache, Depression of Spirits, Irregularity, or general Derangement of the System.

Magdeburg, 16, Sep., 1853. My wife, having suffered for years from a pulmonary com- plaint, became so ill at the beginning of this year, that I looked daily for her dissolution. The remedies-which hither- to had relieved her remained now without effect, and the ulcerations of the lungs and night sweats debilitated her fearfully. It was in this, evidently the last and hopeless stage of pulmonary consumption, when every medicine re- mained powerless in even affording temporary relief-that I was induced by a medical brother from Hanover, who makes pulmonary consumption his special study, and treats it with Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, to try the strengthen- ing and restorative food, and I am happy to be able to ex- press my astonishment at its effects. My poor wife is now in as perfect a state of health as ever she was, attending to her household affairs and quite happy. It is with pleasure and the most sincere gratitude to God for the restoration of my wife, that I fulfil my duty of making the extraordinary efficacy of Du Barry's Revalenta, in so fearful a complaint, known and to recommend it to all other sufferers. GRIES, M.D. CERTIFICATE FROM DR. GATTIKER. Zurich, 3 Sep., 1853. I have tried Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica for a com- plaint which had hitherto resisted all other remedies—viz.: CANCER OF THE STOMACH and I am happy to say, with the most successful result. This "soothing remedy has the effect, not only of arresting the vomiting, which is so fear- fully distressing in cancer of the stomach, but also of restor- ing perfect digestion and assimilation. The same satis- factory influence of this excellent remedy I have found in all complaints of the digestive organs it has also proved effectual in a most obstinate case of habitual flatulence and colic of many years standing.* I look upon this delicious Food as the most excellent restorative gift of nature. __n- DR. GATTIKER. Plymouth, May 9th, 1851. For the last ten years I have been suffering from dys- pepsia, headaches, nervousness, low spirits, sleeplesness, and delusions, and swallowed an incredible amount of me- dicine without relief. I am happy to. say that your Food has cured me, and I am now enjoying better health than I have had for many years past. J. S. NEWTON. Devon Cottage, Bromley, Middlesex, March 31, 1849. GENTWSMEN,—The lady for whom I ordered your food was suffering severely from indigestion, constipation, throw- ing up her meals shortly after eating them, having a great deal of heartburn, and being constantly obliged to have recourse to physic. I am happy to inform you that your food produced immediate relief. She has never been sick since, had but little heartburn, and the functions are more regular, &c. You are at liberty to publish this letter; if you think it will tend to the benefit of any other sufferer. THOMAS WOODHOUSE. DR. WURZER'S TESTIMONIAL. Bonn, 19th July, 1853. This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excel- lent, nourishing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes' in many cases, all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also in diarrhoea, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys, such as stone or gravel inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and strictures, and hae- morrhoids. This really invaluable remedy is employed with the most satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints, where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pulmonary and bronchial consumption, in which it counteractJ effectually the troublesome cough and I am enabled with perfect truth to express the convic- ion that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the ure of incipient hectic complaints and consumption.

I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. On Saturday last, the remains of the late Marquis of Anglesey were conveyed to the family vault in Lichfield Cathedral. On Friday evening the body lay in state at the George Hotel Lichfield. Mr. M. Brisco, MP. for Hastings, has intimated his in- tention of resigning his seat, owing to ill health. Lord Belhavcn has been appointed Her Majesty's Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. The proprietor of the Belfast Mercury, hitherto published thrice a week, has resolved upon making it a daily publica- tion. Mr. Price, superintendent of cotton experiments in Dacca, is to proceed to Pegu to examine into the capabilities of that province for cotton cultivation. A Dublin paper notices the fact, that Ireland is left more bare of troops at the present moment than it has been for the last fifty years. Mr. Dargan has advertised for 250 men for the works at the Kilkenny side of the river. As yet he has not been able to procure anything like the requisite number. Professor Sowerby has just returned from our African colonies, after a most successful tour of inspection, having procured large specimens of coal, iron, copper, silver, galenas, and other mineral productions, which will shortly be brought before the public. Mr. H. E. Lewis, the celebrated mesmerist, states that he has devoted 93,000 of the receipts of his lectures, and from other sources, to form a Mesmeric Hospital, to do away with chloroform, and for curative remedies, at the head of which is Dr. Gregory. In all parts of the western province there is an increasing demand for labourers, and notices are posted on the doors of Roman Catholic chapels in Connemara, offering Is. 6d. a day for workmen. In other districts, where the supply of labourers is still insufficient, still higher wages are offered. Meanwhile, the exodus continues on an extensive scale. The Europa sailed from the Mersey on Saturday afternoon for the United States and British possessions in North America, with 150 passengers, amongst whom were Lord Elgin, Governor-General of Canada, and suite, Sir Cusack P. Roney, &c., and a large and valuable cargo of merchan- dise on freight. The Louth Advertiser states that Admiral Hamelin, Commander-in-Chief of the French expeditionary fleet en- gaged in the Eastern war, is an Irishman by birth, and a native of Louth. His immediate relatives reside in the neighbourhood of Channonrock, near Dundalk." There is now in full bloom in the Botanic Gardens, Edge Lane, Liverpool, a beautiful specimen, said to be the finest in Britain, of the Wistaria Sinensis. It bears 6,000 bunches of flowers, each with an average of 55 flowers, and yields a grateful perfume. In the Cheltenham County Court, last week, an action was brought against a lady for refusing to give her servant a character. The plaintiff was nonsuited, being unable to show that a legal duty existed for a mistress to give her servant a character. A number of young thieves in Glasgow have beaten to death a lad who formerly associated with them they seem to have thought that he intended to betray them. Four of the boys have been arrested. Intelligence has been received of the loss of several Green- land whalers, owing to the extreem boisterousness of the weather, which had rendered fishing this season exceedingly unproductive. There are now three regimental colonelcies at the disposal of the Commander-in-Chief, those of the Royal Horse Guards, vacant by Lord Anglesey's death of the 70th Foot, by General Hall's and of the 86th, by General Parke's. It is said that in a royal burgh in Fife one energetic indi- vidual is himself provost, three bailies, town-clerk, and bell- man. The pear crop in Worcestershire, a county celebrated for its perry, will be a failure, owing to the injury the blossom has received from the present cold and frosty nights. It was stated at the annual dinner, the other day, that the Royal Humane Society has been the means of saving 30,000 lives. We are happy to hear that the Archbishop of York is re- covering gradually from the serious attack of influenza which has confined him to his bed for the last fortnight, and ever since his return to his house in Belgrave-square. It is rumoured that one of the recommendations of the Commission now sitting on the subject of military promo- tion is, that military officers of all ranks shall retire from active service when they have passed their sixtieth year; and another is, that the grade of major in the army shall be altogether abolished. His excellency Namik Pacha, Minister of Commerce, on his return from a special mission to the English and French governments, left Marseilles, on the 1st inst., for Constanti- nople. r The firstfruits of the new system of penal servitude" were presented at the Bow street police office last week. A man who four years ago was convicted of felony at Edin- burgh, was discharged from the Convict-prison at Dartmoor, in January last, with a ticket-of-leave. Within three months after he committed a theft at Edinburgh, and having been convicted before the local authorities, was brought up to receive sentence under a warrant issued by the authority of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. The sentence was that he should be recommitted to Dartmoor Prison for the unexpired term of his orginal sentence, with- out any chance of further mercy. The prisoner, an old man of sixty, burst into tears, and stated that the theft with which he was charged, was committed under the pressure of starvation, consequent upon his inability to procure employ- ment, his previous conviction being either known to those to whom he applied, or made known by the police to such as were not cognizant of it, and disposed to employ him. As three workmen were engaged on Friday in excavating a gallery in the coal pit of Communay (Isere), a part of one of the sides suddenly gave way, and an immense quantity of water rushed in from an old gallery which had long been abandoned. Two of the men were overwhelmed by the torrent, and perished the third succeeded in holding him- self above the level of the water by means of seizing a rope communicating with the surface above. Unfortunately, four other workmen happened to be in another part of the pit, and the rush of water prevented any communication from being held with them. As there was no mode of put- ting an end to their state of insolation, but by pumping out the water, means were at once taken to commence that operation, and after four and twenty hours' continuous labour, the persons above were able to communicate with the four men below, and no doubt existed when the last ac- counts left that in the course of the day they would be ex- tricated from their perilous position. The other man, who had hold on by the rope, was drawn up in safety immediately after the accident. An Englishman has just built an extraordinary house in the Quartier Tivoli, Paris. It is circular, and has neither door nor window externally. The approach to it is from the ground on to the roof by means of a ladder, which is moved up or down by machinery similar to that of a drawbridge. There is only one floor, and that contains 18 apartments, more or less in dimensions, looking into the centre, which is lighted from above by a glazed cupola. One stove for all these rooms is in the middle, and in summer its place is to be occupied by an exquisite parterre of flowers, A circular balcony, open to all the apartments, surrounds this space. In Massachusetts there seems to be quite a mania for the augmentation of banking institutions. On this point the Boston Advertiser says: The public will perhaps be sur- prised to learn that applications have been made to the legislature at the present session, for the incorporation of increased bank stock to the amount of 17,515,000 dollars. Of this amount, 10,850,000 dollars ask for incorporation for banks in Boston alone, and the residue for banks in the country. A little more than half the amount is intended to increase the capital of existing banks, and the remainder for associations entirely new. The number of applications for new banks is 37, of which 7 are designed for Boston." REPRESENTATION AT HERTFORDSHIRE.—Mr. C. W. Pul- ler, who unsuccessfully contested the representation of the county at the late general election, has issued an address to the freeholders, offering himself as a candidate for the vacancy occasioned by the melancholy death (by shipwreck) of Mr. T. P. Halsey. He gives a hearty support to her Majesty's ministers. MURDER IN MAYO.—A frightful murder has been per- petrated at a public-house in Claremorris, County of Mayo. It appears that amongst a party of persons drinking, were two relatives named Eean, who were disputing, when one of them with a leaded whip struck the other over the temple, and when down kicked him in the abdomen, from the effects of which brutal and savage treatment he instantly expired. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.-An accident of a most alarming character, occured on Friday afternoon, within 150 yards of the Woodhouse junction station. A coal train pro- ceeding from Sheffield to New Holland got to Woodhouse junction at 1.30, being an hour behind its time. The 12.30 express train from Manchester was expected to pass the spot at 1.50, and it was the duty of the officials to get the coal waggons shunted off the main line in readiness for it to pass, but owing to some neglect, this labour was not accomplished within the period for the arrival of the express train. Punctual to its time the sounds of the approaching express train were heard. The men who were shunting the remain- ing coal waggons abandoned their task, and a signal was made to the driver of the express train to stop the engine. As the train does not pause at Woodhouse junction, it was travelling at full speed, and the driver, although he put on his break, and used every effort to stop the engine, was unable to do so, although he considerably reduced the rate at which it was running. Seeing that a collision was inevita- ble, the driver and stoker jumped off the engine just before A _to ..L -øtf¡ wtt.hout it reached the coal train, ana oom 01 mem injury. Immediately afterwards the express engine came in contact with the first vehicle in the coal tram, which was the guard's break van. This it ran through and smashed to pieces; and the next vehicle, a coal waggon, was also dam- aged, but not so badly. The impetus of the engine and train had by this time spent itself, and they came to a stand- still, neither the engine nor any of the carnages being thrown off the line. The passengers received a severe shock, but none of them were in any way hurt. The express engine was disabled from interior injuries, and had to be removed by another engine. The passengers were delayed about an hour, when a third engine was procured, and the train proceeded in safety to its destination. SUFFERERS FROM ASTHMA, HOARSENESS, COMMON COUGH, OR HOOPING COUGH, PARTIAL LOSS OF VOICE, OR INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION, MAY BB SPEEDILY RELIEVED AND CURED BY THE USE OF WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY." The following extract from a letter addressed by Mr. T. F. KER (late of the Manchester Royal Infirmary) to the pro- prietor of WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY, will be read with interest. I had the pleasure of hearing one of my custo- mers the other day speak very highly of your invaluable Woolley's Pectoral Candy. He said that he had been very much distressed with a troublesome cough for many years, and had tried most of the patent medicines advertised in the newspapers for coughs, colds, &c., but, he regretted to state, without finding any beneficial effects from them. Fortunately, however, he received a handbill concerning Woolley's Pectoral Candy at his house one day; after idilng it he resolved upon making a final trial for the cure of his cough, by purchasing a box without delay; he did so; and the result of which he happily remarked, was permanent relief after having used the second box. ,,V,aes!,fine lozenges may be purchased at any respectable -t'- H llJ »•»« 9jj. 9ft eac h CHOLERA AT LEEDS.—The cholera, which has exhibited a gradual diminution for two or three weeks has now, there is every reason to hope, disappeared from Leeds. GOLD IN THE CAPE.—The discovery of gold in the Orange River Sovereignty has been confirmed. In the especial locality of Smithfield several nuggets are alleged to have been obtained, weighing from one to four ounces each but in the majority of cases the gold is found in minute particles. THE YEOMANRY CAVALRY.—The oiffcers belonging to the different regiments of Yeomanry Cavalry have received orders to provide themselves with stable jackets. They are also required to make themselves thoroughly acquainted with sword exercise. LORD RECTOR'S PRIZES, GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.—The two prizes of £20 each, given by Lord Eglinton, Lord Rector of the University, have been gained by Robert Lambie, M.D., and John Nichol—the former being president, and the latter vice-president, of the liberal association. RUSSIAN PRISONERS OF WAR.—The following suggestions as to what we ought to do with our Russian prisoners is made by a correspondent of the Morning Advertiser :—■" We ought to educate them thoroughly in English principles, and then send them back to their own country, where they would slowly, but surely, instruct their countrymen in the same principles; and in this way the advantages of free in- stitutions would be soon seen and felt even in Russia. It would be impossible to calculate the amount of good which might eventually result from the adoption of so simple a suggestion. DISCHARGED CRIMINALS.—The Rev. Thomas button, chap- lain of York Castle for the last ten years, says, that if any reliance can be placed upon the statements made to him at various times during his chaplaincy, by prisoners, it is true that discharged prisoners are constantly watched by the police, and every impediment thrown in the way of their obtaining employment, and in some instances their com- panions in crime are bribed by the police to decoy them again into the commission of crime, in order that they (the police) may get a job at the York Assizes. ROMAN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. — The Limerick Reporter states that a rescript has been received from Rome by the Most Rev. Dr. Cullen, directing the archbishops and bishops of Ireland to assemble in Dublin within three months of the date of the rescript, to open and inaugurate the University of Ireland. The 18th of May is fixed for the purpose." THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY.—The Limerick Reporter says:—" It is with sorrow and dismay we have heard it stated, on credible authority, that a rescript from Rome, call- ing on the priests of Ireland to abstain altogether from in- terference in political affairs, may shortly be expected, if it has not already arrived in Dublin." CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A SOLICITOR. —At a magistrates' meeting, at Honiton, Mr. A. Guppy, a re- spectable solicitor of that town, was committed to the couhty gaol at Exeter, for one month, for forging another person's name to a voting paper, in order that he might be elected guardian for the parish of Upothey, in the Honiton Union. -Globe. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY AND FEMALE COURAGE. — On Wednesday evening a man was conveyed by the E. and F constables of police to the King's College Hospital, in almost a lifeless state. It appears that the fellow h-ed attempted a burglary in a public-house in Newton-street, Holborn, but being alarmed by a female he endeavoured to strangle her; however, she proved too resolute for him, and lustily calling for help she resisted his escape, when being closely pursued he made his exit from one of the upper windows of the house dropping on the pavement. He was conveyed to the hos- pital, where he remains in a very hopeless state. He is unknown to the constables. DESTRUCTION OF TWENTY HOUSES AT EXETER.—One of the most alarming fires which have been known in the neigh- bourhood since the year 1785, occurred at Ashburton, in Devonshire, a few days since. During the afternoon an alarm was given that a thatched building in a back street was on fire, and a large number of persons quickly assembled. There was some delay, however, in getting the parish engine in readiness for use, and the fire in the meantime spread with alarming rapidity. The inhabitants, seeing the extent of the conflagration, became almost terror-stricken. The fire bell was unfortunately out of repair, but the church bells were rung, and messengers were despatched in the greatest haste for the fire-engines of the neighbouring towns. Every moment's delay added to the destruction of property. The wind blew hard from the north-east, and the burning flakes of reed were scattered in all direction, igniting every roof on which they alighted. All the inhabitants rendered assistance, and the scene is described as most impressive. The dwellings which were destroyed were chiefly those of the poorer class, whose goods were not of course insured. At length the engines from the neighbouring towns arrived, and a plentiful engines from the neif supply of water having been obtained, the flames were sub- dued towards six o'clock, but not till after twenty buildings had been destroyed. LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF THE FRIENDS OF POLAND.— The twenty-third annual meeting of this association was held on Wednesday, at the Chambers, Duke-street, London, Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., in the chair. In addition to a large number of Poles, there were present the Earl of Har- rowby, Lord Beaumont, the Marquis of Bredalbane, W. Scholfield, Esq., M.P., Captain Townsend, lLN, M.P., &c., &c. W. Birckbeck, Esq., the secretary, read the report, which stated that upon the unjust invasion of- the Sultan's dominions by the Emperor of Russia, the project of forming a Polish legion began to be seriously entertained, as it was thought that inasmuch as one-third of the army of Russia were Poles, great advantages would accrue to the Sultan when the Poles in the service of Russia found their country- men in the field. One of the objects of Lord D. Stuart's journey to Turkey was the formation of this legion, which met with the entire approval of the Turkish minister. It was, however, delayed by the English ambassador, who felt him- self bound by policy to refuse his assent. That formidable opposition was now, however, converted into aid, and what was before strenuously opposed was now supported-(clieers) and within a few weeks they might expect to see the national flag of Poland again waving in the field, and leading on its sons to liberty. (Cheers.) At no period since 1830 had the prospects of a restoration of Poland appeared more bright. The character of the Czar, and the weakness of the German Powers, were known and acknowledged and they would act wisely in committing the defence of the Eastern frontier of Europe to a people of approved competency, and who desire to hold their rightful possession by no better tenure than that of guarding the civilisation of the West against the renewed incursions of Eastern barbarism. The Chairman, in return- ing thanks for his health being drunk, said he found in a conversation he had, while in Turkey, with the friends of the Sultan, that they were very much in favour of a Polish le- gion, and would be very glad to have the help of the brave Poles, whom they looked upon as their best friends. (Cheers.) He was in a position to state that despatches had been sent to our ambassador, desiring him to lend all the aid in his jtffwer towards the establishment of such legion-(cheers)- and he could tell them, moreover, that arms had been placed in the hands of the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish legion. (Loud cheers.) He had no doubt that when they came faco to face with the enemy they would sustain their reputation and find themselves quite at home in fighting against the Russians. (Cheers.) In conclusion the noble lord said that all they wanted was to prevent the Czar from extending his sceptre over other dominions, and wresting from him those over which he now so unjustly ruled. (Cheers.) AN "EXPLANATION."—The New York Post tells the fol- lowing story:—About two months ago an elderly gentleman, while walking in one of our public streets, had his watch ab- stracted-from his pocket in a very mysterious manner. He afterwards offered a reward of 20 dollars for the recovery, and stated that no questions would be asked of the person who returned it. Two months afterwards he was accosted by a genteelly-dressed man somewhat in this style:—"Sir, you lost your watch some time ago, for the return of which you advertised a reward of 20 dollars, and no questions to be ask- ed." I did," said the gentleman. "Are you ready to pay the money, agreeably to the ad 't A t am." m7eml,hara is your watch." The gentleman then paid the money, and put the watch in his pocket, remarking at the same time "I can't imagine how 1 lost it." Well, I will tell you," said the thief. "Don't you remember a person knocking against you the day you lost the watch ?" "I do," said the gentleman. Then it was," said the rogue, coolly, that it was taken from your pocket, and I will show you how it was done." The man, suiting the action to the word, jostled violently against the gentleman, and left him perfectly satisfied with the explanation. A few minutes after, putting his hand to his pocket for the watch, he found it had gone a second time. MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE.—An Irishman being asked on a late trial for a certificate of his marriage, bared his head and exhibited a huge scar, which looked as though it might have been made by a fire shovel. The evidence was satisfactory. The intelligent portion of the public can no longer remain inattentive to the convincing personal evidence which has been given by FIFTY THOUSAND respectable individuals, as to the extraordinary cures effected by Messrs. DU BAR- RY'S REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD, in various stages of the undermentioned maladies, and after medicine had utterly failed, or had, in many cases, aggravated the original symp- toms dyspepsia (indigestion), constipation, functional ir- regularity, obstructions, acidity, cramps, spasms, fits, heart- burn, diarhoea, nervousness, biliousness, affections of the liver and kidneys, flatulency, distension, palpitation of the heart, nervous, headache, deafness, noises in the head and ears giddeness, pains between the shoulders, and in almost every part of the body, chronic inflammation of the ulceration, of the stomach, eruptions on the skin, scurvy, fever, scrofula, impurities, poverty of blood, consumption (if not beyond human aid), dropsy, rheumatism, gout, influenza, grippe, nausea, and after eating, or at sea, low spirits, spleen, general debility, paralysis, cough, asthma, tightness across the chest, phlegm, inquietude, sleeplesness, involuntary blushing, tremors, dislike to society, unfitness for study, delusions, loss of memory, vertigo, blood to the head, exhaustion, melancholy, fear, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of self- destruction, &c. Amongst those who havs joined in this magnificent testimonial of gratitude are such men as the Right Hon. Lord Stuart de Decies, the Venerable Alex. Stuart, Archdeacon of Ross; Major-General King; Captain Parker Bingham, R.N., & &c. The catalogue likewise in- cludes the names of hundreds of ladies, who, with a noble re- solution, overcoming for humanity's sake their natural re- pugnance to publicity have come forward to describe their long-continued sufferings under the anguish of disease, and the misery of fruitless medicine-taking, and their final deli- very from all this wretchedness by the use of the light and agreeable Revalenta Food. In numbers of instances it has been the salvation of women and of delicate nurses and infants and the duration of chronic diseases, which it has effectually overcome (after all other methods of cure had been used in vain) was, in some cases, upwards of sixty years. If we designate the discovery of this Food as the greatest physi- cal blessing which the good fortune and ingenuity of an in- dividual have yet conferred upon the human species, we feel that we are speaking quite within bounds; and we can only express our hApes, for the sake of society at large, that the use of this inestimable preparation may become as universal as its capacities for good are certain and inexhaustible. For further particulars we refer our readers to Messrs. Du Barry's adver- tisement in our to-day's columns. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGLECT.—There is, perhaps, no part of the body that ought to be more interesting to us than the teeth, and yet there is also none which is more generally neglected. Were a little ordinary attention devoted to these organs, we should no longen find toothache and other diseases of the mouth so prevalent nor would our senses be affected by offensive breath and similar disagreeable con- comitants. Art, however, is here necessary to assist nature and in such cases it is that a preparation like Rowlands' Odonto becomes peculiarly advantageous as an infalliablo preservative of those indispensable attributes of beauty, the teeth and (rams, in balmv fraerance. freshness, and beautv.
