30,1845.Dear Sir,\u2014Having experienced great benefit from your invaluable medicine, I feel it my duty and privilege lo let the world know what it has done for me.Possessed of a strong constitution naturally, I had enjoyed perfect health previous to ihe spring of 1843, when 1 was troubled with a difficulty in rny left side, attended with considerable pain.Sometime in July I was violently attacked with a cough, which continued until fall ; then I was confined to the house eight months, during which time my cough was very severe.I frequently had spells of coughing which lasted two hours ; daily raised large quantities of disagreeable matter, accompanied with blood.Sometimes I raised a quart of blood at a time.I consulted three physicians, all of whom did their best to restore me ; gave me up ; said they could do no more for me; I must die ; it was imposai-ble for me to live but a short time.One of them said my lungs were gone.At this critical moment, when eminent physicians had exhausted their skill, friends despaired of my life, my own hope of recovery at an end, I resorted to Dr.Wistar\u2019s Ba'sam of Wild Cherry.When I had taken one and a half botiles, those severe spells of coughing were removed.I continued taking the Balsam until spring, 1844, when I ceased to bleed at the lungs, my health and strength improved so that I lelt the house, but was not able to work for a year.Now my health is good.I am able to do a day\u2019s work every day on my larm.JAMES COMERY.Witness: THOM AS BENNER.None genuine, unless Signed I.BUTTS on the wrapper.For Sale in

CO.are induced to LA.draw public attention to their CARRARA WATER, from the fact that every day furnishea them with additional testimony to its efficacy as a remedy in ihe various forms of INDIGESTION.Dr.W.A.Basham, (Physician to the Westminster Hospital,) in a letter to Mr.Mangham, the originator of Carrara Water, says, with reference to its merits :\u2014 \u2018k In the common form of Indigestion\u2014characterized by heartburn, thirst, foul tongue, and more or less irregularity of the bowels\u2014when drank in small quantities, frequently repeated, it has afforded relief to pain in the stomach, and other unpleasant sensations, more effectually and quicker than any other antacid ; not excepiing the effervescing Fluid Magnesia.\u201c In those derangements of the Stomach, arising from a congested state of the mucous membrane of that organ, caused by free and convivial habits, intoxication and the excesses of the table\u2014 tbe thirst, headache, clammy foul state of the tongue and riiouih, have been more quickly and effectually relieved by the Carrara Water than by Soda Water.The large amount of Carbonic Acid dissolved in this Water imparts that amount of stimulus to the mucous membrane which restores its tone and renovates its secretions ; and from a like cause, it is infinitely more palateable ; and even when exposed to the air for some lime, does not become nauseous, after the manner of Soda Water.\u201d Sold Wholesale and Retail by ALFRED SAVAGE & CO., Chemists, &c., Next the Court House.January 10.\t5 To the Public l JUST RECEIVED IN PRIME

FATHER\u2019S GROWING OLD.\u201d BY ELIZABETH C.BARBER.My father\u2019s growing old ; his eyes Looks dimly on the page.The locks that round his forehead lie Are silvered o\u2019er by age ; My heart has learned too well the tale, Which other lips have told.His years and strength begin to fail\u2014 My father\u2019s growing old.\u201d They tell me, in my youthful years, He led me by his side.And strove to calm my childish fears, My eiring steps to guide.But Ypurs, with all their scenes of change Above us both bave roiled, I now must guide his faltering steps\u2014 \u201c My father\u2019s growing old.\u201d When sunset\u2019s rosy glow departs, With voices lull of mirth.Our household band with joyous hearts Will gather round the hearth.They look upon his trembling form, His pallid face behold, And turn away with chastened tone\u2014 \u201c My lather\u2019s growing old,\u201d And when each tuneful voice we raise, In songs of \u201clong ago,\u201d Ilis voice, which mingles in our lays, Is tremulous and low.It used to seem a clarion\u2019s tone, So musical and bold, But weaker, fainting has it grown\u2014 \u201c My father\u2019s gro ing old.\u201d The same fond smile he used to wear, Still wreaths his pale lips now, But time, with lines of age and care Has traced his placid brow, But yet, amid the lapse of years, ^ His hearth has not grown cold, Though voice and footsteps plainly tell, \u201c My father\u2019s growing old.\u201d My faiher ! thou didststrive to share My joys, and calm my fears, ,And now thy child, with grateful care.Shall smooth thy path, and brighter scenes By Failli and Hope unfold ; And love thee with a holier love, Since thou art \u201cgrowing old.\u201d AN INDIAN VILLAGE IN CANADA.To the tourist, who visits the city of Quebec, the Indian village of Lorette, about nine miles distant from that ancient fortress, has always been an object of peculiar interest and attraction.The inhabitants belong to the Huron tribe, whose deeds of prowess and arms, during the sanguinary wars between the French and the Indians, were performed along the borders of the lake from which they took their name, but, living in the midst of a rural population, and at a short distance from the ancient capital of Canada, they have become subject to thé influences of civilizalioir, and are no longer remarkable for that heroic character by which they were formerly distinguLhed, or for adhering to those manners and customs, handed down from father to son, among the aboriginal inhabitants of the country.Some of their chiefs have become the recipients of royal favors, and it is not unusual to observe in the streets of Quebec a tall and swarthy Indian, decorated with the silver medal received from the hands of his \u201cgreat father across the water,\u201d the late King George the Fourth.There are two or three Indian villages in the district of Montreal, one at the Lake of the 'Two Mountains inhabited by the Algonquins, and another at Gaughnavvaga by the Iroquois, to whom the same objection will apply,; limy hnvo had too easy an access to the haunts of white man ; their manners have become corrupted by their intercourse with their more civilized brethren in the cities.'There are also two Indian Villages in the district of Three River.', one, on the banks of the Beçancour, and the other near the village of San Francis, along the shores of Lake Saint Peter.Both are inhabited by the Abenaquis tribe, and are distinguished from the Hurons at Lorette, and the Iroquois at Caughnawaga, by their primitive manners and their adherence to the language and his daily use, which he is bringing home from the woods.On the other side, you witness the results of science and of skill, in the appliances which the white man has devised, as a substitute also for horse-porter, but enabling him the more easily to bring his*wood to market and receive a ready return.How many years, how many centuries are there, between these stages hi civilization, and yet is it not better they should remain so?There is something pleasing in the idea, that the past and the present should be brought in such close proximity to each other.There are two churches in the village, one the Roman Catholic, endowed by the liberality of one of the reigning monarchs of France, before the conquest of Canada, with a certain portion of glebe land, for the support of a missionary to the Abenaquis, and which has since been confirmed by the British Crown, and the other is a neat little edifice, erected byQho^.Congregu.LionaUsi.9, in wiifcira member oft he tribe who was educated in the United States, (f believe at Dartmouth College,) preaches in the Ian-gunge of the Abenaquis ! to the-Indians whom he has proselytized, now numbering about sixty or seventy of the tribe.There was a fearful war waged for a long time on this subject, between the Indians of the two different faiths, but it was not with the sound of ihe war-hoop, for they laid aside for the moment the axe and the tomahawk, and repaired to the courts ol the white man to have their différences settled.The Indians of the Catholic faith maintained that it should be a Roman Catholic mission only, under the terms of of the Fren h charier; whilst the Protestant Abenaquis contended tor religious toleration and equal rights, with their Roman Catholic brethren.A suit at law was brought to evict the reverend Abenaquis clergyman from his pulpit, and to cause the chapel to be demolished, but the Protestant minister was successful and the chapel still remains, in which his failhlul Abenaquis followers offer up their prayers at the consecrated altar.The Indians, always jealous of their rights, and anxious to preserve their blood undefiled from admixture with that of their white neighbors, have also had some difficulties respecting the aggressions of a family of the name of Guille, who, under the pretence of being Indians, have claimed certain privileges, which they say belong to the Abenaquis only; such' as the right of cutting wood off the Indian domain, etc.If we may judge from tbe legend which prevails among them as to the origin of this family, it partakes somewhat of a romantic character.It seems, that during the wars which were waged towards the close of the seventeenth century between tbe Indians and the Bostonms, (as the New Englanders were called,) an American of the name of Gill became enamored of on Abenaqius squaw, whom he wished to marry and carry back with him to New England ; but the usages of the tribe forbade an alliance with the white man, and she could not enter into the matrimonial state.The New Englanders having been unsuccessful in one of their lorays into the Indian settlement at Saint Francis, encamped at a short distance from the village, with the intention of abandoning the campaign and returning to their homes, when the Bostonais, Gill, escaped during the night, repaired to the viliage, and assuming the dress and mode of life of the Abenaquis, married the squaw and abided amongst them.However doubtful may be this tale ; it is believed by the Abanaqnis generally, and although the descendants of ihis Guille family bear evident marks of Indian extraction, (there having been intermarriages since between them,) the Abenaquis pertinaciously re« fuse to allow them any of the privileges belong-* ing to the Indians, such as the right of burial within the ground set apart for the Mission, or the conferring on them of any of the ministerial of.fices of the missionary.\tA.M.Hart.DOCUMENTARY HISTORY OF NEW YORK, VOL.II.The 2d volume of the Documentary History of New York, ordered to be prepared by the Legislature at its last session, is, we understand, in tho hand of the binder, and will be laid on the members tables at tbe commencement of the next session.With the Index, which is particularly minute, it will exceed 1,DU0 pp.The first portion of this vol.is occupied by the _________ \u201cpapers relating to thé administration of Lt.Gov.customs of Leisler,\u201d which embraces tbe period from the be- 13, ol ST.MARIE\u2019 on SUNDAY, the THIRD of FEBRUARY, 185U, after Divine Service in ihe Morning ; and the sale of Lots Nos.3, 11 and 12, at the DOOR of.ihe PARISH CHURCH of ST.CESAIRE, on SUNDAY, the: TENTH of FEBRUARY, 1850, utter Divine Service in the Morn- their forefathers.They say, that the Abenaquis I have not elected a white man for their chief, as \u2019 the Hurons and the Iroqouis have done, and that they have not forgotten the songs with which they were wont to accompany the war-dance at their merry-meetings, in times of old.It is to the Indian village ol Saint Francis that the tourist should repair, if he wishes to see the last vestiges that exist of the oboriginal inhabitants of Canada.He will find a collection of huts, an amas de caba-nes, which can hardly be said to afford them shelter against the inclemency of the weather, and, on entering them, he will have no difficulty in observing the rays of the sun making their way through some crevice in the wall, and illuminating a haunch of venison which has been hung up to be dried, or some lean beef which is soon to be consigned to the pot for their mid-day meal.On turning towards the hearth, his attention will be attracted to some old squaw busily engaged in arranging gaily painted materials for basket*work, or putting together pieces of bark to form the Indian cassette, in which they bring their maple-sugar to market.From a recess hitherto unobserved, he will perceive the slight figure of a young squaw emerging from her place of obscurity, going to the cupboard, and bringing forth various articles of handiwork, such as tobacco-pouches, sandals and moccasins,.made of the elk-skin, and ornamented in every way that her fancy can devise, with the use of glass beads of every color of the rainbow, to the view of the stranger, will purchase some of them, and it is seldom that he is able to leave the hut without spending a shilling or two, in the acquisition of some useless ornament.During.the winter season, the Indians are busily engaged in the pursuits of the chase, leaving none but the women in the villages, to take care of their domestic affairs and attend to their household duties.In the spring, they return home with their beaver, their otters and musk-rats, and it they have been more successlui than usual, there are sometimes found in the bundle a few martin and mink skins.'The women then assist ihem in preparing the skins for the market, which they do by stretching them, as wide as possible, on pieces of boards of sticks, and exposing them to the sun to be dried.It they are ot a bright color, they are then said to be in season, and command a higher price in the market.There is nothing to vary the monotony of this every-day life in an Indian village, but the wedding or the foot-race.On both of these occasions, the village presents a scene of the liveli.est animation.Old and young, male and female, are decorated with the brightest of their tinsel ornaments, and dressed in their gayest attire.An Indian wedding in Canada is an occasion lor the greatest rejoicing :-.the largest room in the village is selected, where all assemble to indulge in the festivities of the bridal meeting.The squaws dispense, for the notice, with their blanket's, and dis.ing; and of Luts Nos.4 and 5, at the DOOR of j close tightly fitted jackets, made of calico of the the PARISH CHURCH of ST.JEAN BAP- Miveliest colors, over^w_pon» of scarlet or blue cloth TISTE, on SUNDAY,

smoothly over their heads, and tied in a knot behind, from which hang beads and ornaments of every description.The ear-rings are ginning of the year 1689 to some time after Leis-ler\u2019s death in 1691.This series consists ol Leis-ler\u2019s Correspondence with Connecticut, Massachussets, Maryland, Virginia, and Barbadoes ; and a number ot private papers ; his orders in Council ; commissions, fee., and the proceedings of his adversaries in the Convention at Albany, until they were routed and dispeised by Leisler\u2019s Commissioners.Perhaps not the least interesting among these Documents are Leisler\u2019s writs ordering the election of Representatives throughout the Province, Dongan and Andros having previously suppressed the Assembly.These papers re» move all doubts of the existence of a Legislative Assembly in Leisler\u2019s time, which some historians have questioned ; but the fact is still more assured by the publication now of some of the Laws passed by this Assembly, and signed by the r Speaker.When this set of papers are fully De~ lore the public, much light will be thrown on a period ol our history at present but liitle under-* stood.Following these, is a series of Rate Lists of the several towns on Long Island from 1675 to 1683.These lists give not only the names of the inhabitants at tbis distant period in each town, but the number of acres of land, and the amount of stock each owned at the time, with the valuation of each man\u2019s estate, and the amount of tax which each town paid.Those conversant now with Brooklyn and other growing parts of the Island, These she exposes | no doubt find these rate lists very curious.In the hope that he l^ie way of siatisiics they will be also very valuable.In addition to the foregoing, the volume will contain the MMS.of Sir Wm.Johnson.Seven bundles of these MMS.were originally deposited in the Secretary\u2019s office in 1801.Many of them, we regret to learn, have since been lost\u2014by what means we cannot say.But what remains will afford a pretty full account of the career of the celebrated baronet, from 1746 to 1774, the date of his death.They will be accompanied by a portrait on steel, a map of the lands which he willed to some of his natural Indian children, and some other illustrations.The papers relating to Western New York comprise various pamphlets now not easily procured.Among these are Williamson\u2019s Settlement of the Genesee country, and Munro\u2019s Description of Western New York, the Military Lauds, fee, A series of maps will accompany these, show, ing the progress of the early settlement of that section ol the State, and will be found of Value in several points of view.Another class of papers aboutjbeing published cannot fail to be of interest to those among our citizens who are engaged in enquiries into the early History of Inventions in this country.They relate to the controversy at the close of the last century, between Fitch and Rumsey as to their respective claims to the Steamboat.Fitch, Rumsey and Stephens were each applicants to the Legislature of this State for an exclusive right to navigate the Hudson river by steam.Various papers were submitted by all the parties on the occasion.The whole, with the reports of the Committees have hitherto lain buried among the \u201c Assemb'y Papers.\u201d They are now published, by order of Secretary Morgan, accom- indespensible tor both male and female, and | panied with plans of Fitch\u2019s and Rumsey\u2019s boats, B RANDY\u20145:iiiida \u201cMartel\u2019s\u201d Dark Bratidy Fur Sale

occupies about a quarter of a mile in circumference, on the summit of a hill surrounded by woods, from which the Indians obtain their fuel to warm them in the winter season.On the bank of the river opposite the village, is a steam sa\\V mill, erected a lew years ago, by an enterprising American merchant, Mr.Sherman Converse ; the only mark ofindnstry in that locality, and contrasting greatly with the tranquility that prevails within the Indian settlement.On one side of the river you ste the red man unaccustomed to the use of ^ horses, driving his dog, harnessed to his tobbog-; °n which

and to talk of attaining such an object, by some undefined course which shall dexterously evade the perils of acts of treason or sedition, is a sophistry which ought not to deceive either those who use it or those to whom it is addressed.Such is ever the language of those who from fear of conse- jE560,000 per annum, which was in round numbers, we believe the nett revenue for 1847 Now let ns sift these figures in such a way as to show the truth.We shall deduct from the gross sum those items, which as in the United States, are not fairly to be considered as taxation, and we shall then add some charges, which Inspector Generals, and their organs skilfully contrive to keep in the back ground, as housewives treat obnoxious scrapes, would show their siovenly character.which One years nett revenue .Deduct Territorial - .£25,757 14 In te res t on public depo.sits.1,008 0 Public Works.42,557 8 Casual, &c., say.10,000 0 £558,832 18 3 -£ 79,323 3 1 £479,509 15 2 Add to these the trifling sum of deductions, for customs and other salaries necessary to make the nett revenue ;

but these officers, like Mr.LaFon-taine and his friends, attended armed meetings, and openly encouraged rebellion against the Sovereign and resistance to the laws of the land.Luid Elgin dismisses officers who openly proclaim their loyalty to their Sovereign, their obedience to the laws, and their déterminai ion to seek for no change in their political condilion, saving through the means provided by the constitution, and with the consent and approbation of the Mother Country.The change, however, which they thus peaceably and constitutionally seek, would be ruin to our \u201c spoilers\u201d\u2014in and out of office \u2014and hence their \u201c wailing and gnashing of teeth.\u201d Arbitrary and tyrannical as are the soi disant Liberals, it would have been strange, indeed, if some of their former political opponents hesitated even to sully the purity of the Judge\u2019s ermine by joining in the cry of treason\u2014where there is no treason.Accordingly, we find, that, a propos of nothing, Mr.Justice Draper\u2014the immaculate \u201c Sweet William\u201d of the good Lord Metcalfe\u2019s Council\u2014enters his protest, before ihe Grand Jurors of the Home District, against an agitation which \u201c involves a change in our form of Government, and a dissolution of our connection with the British Empire.\u201d We give, below, the passage from his Lordship\u2019s address, on the subject of Annexation, and it is scarcely necessary for us to point out tiie false assertions, the lame and impotent attempts at argument, the inconclusive quotations from Macau-ley, and reference to Cicero, and above all, the absolutely nauseous affectation of piety, in wliich this Judge attempts to disguise his base prosliiution of the judgment seat, and his unconstitutional attempt to interfere with the freedom of discussion.Our Toronto contemporary, the Mirror,\u2014whose article will be found in another column,\u2014treats his Lord-ship in so artistic a manner, that we might safely leave him in his hands ; but we cannot pass over in silence such foolish bunkum and bombast as the following:\u2014 \u201c But die discussion against which ihese obser.valions are direclet), has for ils objects die abjure, tion of our allegiance lo thal Sovereign whose very name has hilherto found a ready echo in our hearts\u2014the destruction of that mixed form of go.vernment, die pride and boast, the shield and honor of those who enjoy it, and which was deemed by an ancient oraior and statesman as the most perfect in idea (if ever it could be reduced to practice,) and the utter forfeiture of all right to share in the glories of the flag which has braved \u201c a thousand years the battle and ihe breeze.\u201d 1st, Annexationists do not contemplate the \u201c abjuration\u201d of their allegiance, but their release from an engagement, which cifcumslan-ces have rendered alike detrimental to the interests of England and of Canada.2nd.Responsible Government in Canada bears no resemblance whatever to the \u201c mixed form of Government,\u201d which prevails in England, and which, Cicero deemed \u201c the most perfect in idea.\u201d And lastly, our Annexation would not involve the forfeiture of all right to share in the glories of the British flag: after Annexation as now, we should enjoy and be justly proud of that glorious inheritance\u2014the history of the counlry, from which we and our fathers have sprung.After Annexation, however, it is very problematical whether political judges would be paid £1000 a-year, for prejudging ihe guilt or innocence of those who may bearrainged before them, and thus streng!heniug the hands of an arbitrary and quences, \u201c would not play false, and yet would wrongly win.\u201d It would be wise to remember, that discussions cannot always be temperate, and that the excitement attending it may plunge the country, not only against the true interests, but even against the wish of its inhabitants, into all the evils of civil commotion ; and it must be criminal to hazard the unspeakable calamities of such a struggle, unless under the pressure of a necessity so stern and irresistible as to indicate the directing hand of Providence.\u201cNo nation,\u201dsays the eloquent writer I have already quoted, \u201c even for the most just of causes can overturn an existing Government, without suffering deeply at first.\u201d Our constitution gives us both freedom of discussion and of action, as means to improve and uphold it, not as instruments for its overthrow.Were it otherwise, no order of things, no form of Government, no civil or religious liberty, could rest on a secure and permanênt basis.But the discussion against which these observations are directed, has for its objects the abjuration of our allegiance to that Sovereign whose very name has hitherto found a ready echo in our hearts,\u2014the destruction of that mixed form of government the pride and boast, the shield and honor of those who enjoy it, and which was deemed by an ancient orator and statesman as the most perfect in idea (if ever it could be reduced to practice,) and the utter forfeiture of all right to share in Ihe glories ofthe flag which has braved \u201ca thousand years the battle and the breeze.These among other things are our birthright,\u2014shall they be sold or traded away ?\u201c Instead of indulging in any such frantic passion for change, let us humbly pray \u201cthat peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety, may be established among us for all generations.\u201d And while we implore ihis from the Giver of all good, let us all, according to our opportunities, labor to secure and maintain these blessings for ourselves and and our children after us.\u201d £628,047 16 5 or 8s 4J per head instead of 7s 6d as stated in the Pilot.Thus, according to our account, our present taxation is 8s 4d, and our taxation, as a State of the Union, would be 13s 6d\u2014a very different thing indeed from the statement in the Pilot.We have taken the accounts so far in their simplest form, as if there would be no reduction in the present Provincial taxation, when we became a State.But this is a most unfair manner to consider the fact.The truth is, as we have often shown, that the deductions from our present most extravagant system of expenditure, and the advantages which would probably be accorded us by the United States, as they have done already in the case of Texas, would reduce our Provincial expenditure to an exceedingly small figure indeed.We shall now state the case in this new point of view.First, any revenue raised from customs, es pecialty under a tariff arranged like that of the United States is paid in far less proportions by the poor than the rich, because it is a per centage on purchases.Thus, unless Canada used as much wine, and silk and velvet, and other foreign luxuries as her richer neighbours, she would pay proportionably less.Now, we presume that no one can imagine the average wealth and consequent expenditure in dutiable articles in Canada, can be more, at the outside, than two-thirds that ofthe average of the United States.This, it is true, is but an estimate of a fact, which will be admitted on all hands ; but we think it is not an exorbitant one.At that rate, therefore, annexation would so far increase the means of our population as to enable them to buy more conveniences, of which nobody would complain, or else they would average one-third less taxes than those now paid in the States.Therefore, instead of paying 5s.2d., they would pay but 3s.5d.per head to the general Government.On the other hand, we believe, there would be the following saving out of our present Provincial, or as it would then be our State Government.1st.Amount which according to the Pilot's own showing might be saved out of £190,060 which he sets down as the present cost of our Executive.£ 95,000 2nd.The whole of the deductions now charged in collecting the revenue, and not brought into the general balance sheet .\t.\t.\t.£ 148,000 3rd.Interest on the Public Debt which we may suppose would be assumed by the United States as was done with the debt of Texas.£ 200,000 wrath and vengeance ol God towards a sinful people ! Assuredly not.However difficult it may be to trace the existence of pestilence to its physical cause, the history of science proves lhat God has endowed man with powers of observation and reflection competent lor the task.If he neglect to exercise these powers, or, having discovered the laws affecting health, disobeys them, he will suffer for his disobedience ; but it is not only an error, but an impiety, to ascribe his sufferings to the direct intervention of God\u2019s providence, when they are clearly the result of his own carelessness or disobedience of His physical laws\u2014immutable so farashumanpowercan affect them.An individual, perhaps pious and moral in all his thoughts and actions, from ignorance, forgetfulness, or wilfulness, by intemperance, indolence, want of cleanliness, or any other infraction of the laws affecting health, suffers from disease and dies,\u2014leaving a widow and orphans, perhaps, to the cold charity of the world: and should we be justified in viewing his death as a direct manifestation of God\u2019s special providence, and not as the inevitable result of his own disobedience of God\u2019s physical laws\u2014and the same laws which affect individuals, equally affect nations and communities ?We leave the reader to answer the question for himself; and will only add that, in our opinion, the Witness\u2019 doctrine of the \u201c direct and special intervention of Providence\u201d, in such cases as the visitations of cholera, plague or any other pestilence, is not only opposed to reason and observation, hut it is altogether unsustained by the Scriptures.The Probable Increase of our Taxation as a State of the Union.\u2014When there are five hundred palpable and undoubted reasons for adopting one side of a question, and just one apparent reason for taking the opposite course, it is not unnatural that the one isolated argument should be constantly made to do duty in turn against all the rest.This accounts for the circumstance that an article of ours intended to show the immense advantages to our ship-building trade likely to arise from admissions to all the coasting voyages from Labrador, southwards, to the canal shortly lo be cut through the Isthmus of Panama, and thence Northward again, all the way to Russia is met by a whole column of figures to prove that we should have to pay 10s.per annum more of taxes or as the Pilot says, to make the contrast stronger, more than double our present rates.Now we have never denied that there would probably be a slight increase in the amount of money actually collected, though we have given ample reasons for believing that our taxation would be no heavier, if we considered how much we should save, on the one hand, in salaries like the $31,111 per annum of the Governor, which might as well be thrown into the St.Lawrence, from any good Canadians get from it, and on the other in the real benefils, which, under the supposed system, our taxation would purchase.But we object to exaggerations like that we are about to expose, and in spite of the small knowledge of figures which our contemporary gives us credit for, we think that we shall show there may he another deficiency worse even than want of arithmetic, which may render persons incapable of stating cases fairly\u2014we mean the unwillingness to tell the whole truth.The Pilot by a very ingenious mode of argument, takes the United States expenditure, for years that have not yet come\u2014an average of 1849, 1850 and 1851, and thus shows that theexpense of thegdjfbral Government will be $45,798,669 ; and having got this sum, he for-gets altogether that these years includes heavy payments arising out of the late Mexican War, although not, as he says, precisely connected with warlike service.He fails too to clear it from the revenues arising from the Lands, Post Office, &c., but takes the whole lump, divides it by 21,000,000, and gives the dividend as the rate of taxation paid by each individual, which he says is 10s.9d.Now we shall state the sum our way, taking actual years of ordinary revenue, and confining ourselves to the customs, the only portion which is raised by taxation.We find the three last years customs in the last American Almanac, stated as follows : \u2014 £ 443,000 That is, with the assumption of the debt 5s.6d., or without it 3s.21.per head.So that taking the larger saving we should only pay 2s.lOd.where we now pay 8s.4d.; or the smaller only 5s.2d.where we now pay 8s.4d.After annexation then, at this rate, we should pay for Stale Government, say.5s.21.per head.General Government .\t.3s.5d.do.8s.7d.Instead of 8s.4d.as at present : 3d.per head loss by Annexation.We have entered into these particulars merely to show that there is nothing very dreadful in the figures of the Pilot, when the account is properly investigated.But we have always repudiated the idea of putting the question on this ground.Within any reasonable limits, we are ready to admit, though we do not believe it, that there may be some augmentation of taxation worth speaking of.But what are a few shillings per annum to the advantages to he gained by opening up the markets of the neighbouring States, free of duty.Would a Canadian artizan, who has to leave his home for the States, rather do that or pay a dollar a year, to have the advantages of the States brought home to him?Would the Americans exchange their prosperity for our stagnation to be saved two or three shillings per annum in the shape of a lax ?We need not go into the other portions of the Prfof\u2019s last article, as we see nothing new advanced.He keeps quite clear of Mr.Hincks, and the 14s.export duty on lumber, as he does of Mr.Meritt and Annexation, since he found that that gentleman had gone farther than he expected.We are pained to see a paper so judicious and influential as the Montreal Herald lending itself in any degree to the infldel cant, once so coin mon in Britain but now greatly abaled, of a!tri baling such calamities as cholera to secondary causes alone, to the virtual exclusion of the direct superintendence, or.in oilier words, providence of God.\u2014Montreal Witness.1846 1847 1848

desire for material prosperity,- -the t£ impatience of men to grow $82,217,602= $27,406,534 p ;r annum, instead of $45,798,669 as stated by the/Mof ; or 5s 2d instead of 10s 9d per head as stated by the Pilot.The Pilot then slates our own taxation at Our contemporary either misapprehends or misrepresents us.In attributing such calamities as cholera to the neglect, the disobedience, of the fixed and immutable laws of physics,\u2014the laws by which the Almighty governs the physical world\u2014and not to a direct and special intervention of His providence, we are perfectly free from the impiety\u2014the \u201c inBdelcant\u201d\u2014which he, with so little of Christian charity, attributes to us.\u2014 That God has, lor his wise purposes, occasionally, suspended, in particular instanaes, the operation of the laws of physics, Governor Fish, no doubt, has the Scriptures \u201c on his side\u201d to prove ; but, in these instances, the miracle is distinctly stated to have been a special intervention of His providence.When \u201c Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel,\u2019\u2019 as a punishment for the disobedience of His special commands, \u201c the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel : and there fell of Israel jin three days) seventy thousand men.\u201d Here we have, undoubtedly, an instance \u201cofthe direct superintendence, or, in other words, the providence of God,\u201d\u2014this pestilence, we know was nof the result of secondary causes\u2014but are we, therefore, to maintain, as our contemporary appears to do, lhat all pestilences are evidences ofthe j The English News.\u2014We publish in another place, some late news from England, communicated by telegraph to the American papers.This intelligence is of less consequence than it would have been had we not already had an intimation of similar proceedings in the British Cabinet, as well from Ihe Morning Advertiser\u2014the authority in the present instance\u2014a» from the United Service Gazette.It is quite evident that the announcement is intended to bear the air of authority ; and there can we think be little duubtlhat it is official.The Advertiser, though not very extensively circulated, is one ofthe most extensively read, of the English Journals, as it is the property of the Society of Licensed Victuallers, and is taken in every house of public entertainment in London.It has long been known as one of the most reliable and moderate of the Whig Journals, so that if we had no other reason to believe the statement, jts authoritative assertion would carry complete conviction of the truth.Municipal Elections.\u2014We publish the following at the request of Mr.Dinning, who says, in his note to us, \u201c in justice to me I presume you are bound to insert the article in this morning\u2019s Gazette, in regard to the six gentlemen on whom I called.\u201d We comply with Mr.D\u2019s.request for the sole purpose\u2014 for we know of no reason why lie should claim its insertion as an act of justice from us\u2014of exposing the reckless assertions of those who threaten the electors of the St.Antoine Ward with violence, should they presume to follow the dictates of their own judgment, in their selection of a gentleman to represent them in the City Council, rather than be dictated to by Mr.Dinning.We should like to know who authorized Mr.Dinning to hawk the suffrages of his fellow-citizens from door to door ?Such a proceeding, on his part, was scarcely likely to meet with any different return from what, he informs us, it did; and we should have supposed that the refusal of no less than six \u201cgentlemen on whom Recalled,\u201d would have satisfied him of his error.As we have already said, Mr.Dinning may well plume himself on so highly respectable and competent a man as Mr.Fisher, after so many ineffectual \u201ccalls\u201d and \u201c urgings,\u201d consenting to become his nominee.If the majority of the electors are not disgusted with the cavalier manner, in which they have been treated by his self-dubbed nominator, and if they think their interests would be safer in his hands than in Mr.Atwater\u2019s, Mr.Fisher will be elected\u2014but not otherwise.As to the \u201c insane ravings,\u201d which the Gazette, says, \u201c are creating two parties in the city \u201d ; and the \u201c dinning into his ears that none but Annexationists shall lord it over the citizens of Montreal\u201d : our contemporary may rest assured, that the said citizens will not consent to be \u201c lorded over,\u201d either by Annexationists or Connectionists ; and that no amount of \u201c ravings,\u201d or even of \u201c Din-ntngs,\u201d will intimidate them from exercising their franchise and electing whomsoever they may think best capable of serving them in the Council.\u201cInsane ravings\u201d and \u201cDinhings\u201d are, after all, very harmless affairs, and it is but a poor compliment to the electors, to suppose that either the one, or the other, will weigh a feather\u2019s-weight, in inducing them to vote for one or other of the Candidates.The open threats ol violence, on the part of the Transcript and ihe axe-handle investment, which one of Mr.Fisher\u2019s warmest supporters, openly spates he has made, are \u201c horses of a very different colour\u201d ; but even they, we can assure the Transcript and our Knight of the axe-handle, will, upon trial, prove but \u201c hollow pampered jades.\u201d \u201c Hold hook and line, say I.Down ! down, dogs | down, faitors I Have we not Hiren here ?\u201d A report having got abroad that the parties first in the field for St.Antoine Ward, (and who are now determined to reiurn Mr.Fisher,) came out on political grounds.Mr.Dinning has handed us a List ofthe names ofthe Gentlemen on whom he called and urged to come forward for the Ward \u2014we subjoin it\u2014the public can judge for them, selves :\u2014

Saisi.\u2014Mr.A.Robertson on being called on for any motion, moved in a case which he named, that the Tiers Saisi should be called into Court, to slate what money he held on account of the Defendant.Mr.Robertson staled that he was now pursuing precisely the same course which was usual under the late Judicature Act, but it was only right to inform their Honors that he found no direction in the new bill for the course which should be pursued.He did not know whether it would be proper hereafter to call the Tiers Saisi into Court, or to call him before the Prothonotary ; but he thought it best to proceed in the first instance, as he would have done under the old law.Mr.George Carter, as amicus cur ice, said, (as we understood,) he thought the Tiers Saisi should be called before the Prothonotaries.That was the course prescribed in the new law, in the case of Defendants, and he conceived the Tiers Saisi was virtually a Defendant.Their Honors refused to make the order; but gave no opinion as to the proper course to be adopted.Currency.£217 0 0 E.&.O.E.Jane Ross, Treasurer.Montreal, 31at Dec., 1849.List of Subscribers lo the Building Fund of the Montreal Protestant Orphan

suffers from the want of its spacious school rooms and infirmary, both of which are unfinished as well as the entrance door.It is with pleasure that the Ladies mention that the housekeeping expenses of the last year, have been less than the preceding one by £14 16 9 notwithstanding the expenses of removal, and a larger supply of fuel than usual.Having thus made known their liabilities and wants,

of the City, proved such a valuable aid to the funds.I hanks are also sincerely offered 10 those contributors, whose donations of eloihing materials, vegetables, fruits, &.e., are of the most valuable

its consideration the question of a severance between the Mother Country and her Canadian possessions.The conclusion arrived at is, that England would be no actual loser, were the Canadas to carry their thieat of sépara1 ion inio effect.The result of a careful examination of the Canadian connexion, in all its aspecs, is, that so fur from England being a Sufferer from the renunciation of their allegiance to the British Crown, on the part of the Canadians, she would be an actual gainer.\u2014 It is a well ascertained fact that the expenses of the connexion have more than counterbalanced ils advantages.The maintenance ofthat part of our Colonial possessions subjects us to a yearly expenditure of more than £800,000 hard cash.Will any one tell us that the Canadas confer on us benefits at all equivalent to this ] It may, indeed, be debated whether our exports to the Canadas would not be as great as they have been at any former period.\u201c At any rate, we speak advisedly when we say that this country would be no loser by the secession of the Canadas.That is certainly the conclusion at which Ministers have arrived, after the most able aud most careful deliberation.On that conclusion they have resolved to act.When the Session meets we shall see the fact brought fully before the public, with the ground on which the Cabinet have come to the conclusion at ,\\hich it has arrived.cc A desperate but futile effort, it is said, will be made on the opening of Parliament to restore a portion of the old Protective Laws.Nobody, however, seems concerned at the hostile appearance which these savans of monopoly have assumed.u The Repeal of the Navigation Laws had rather improved than injured the ship building trade.All the yards were full, and orders, it is said, would of necessity be sent to North America.\u201d 3 8 1 1L 2 16 5 0 3 6 2 2 8 6 3 3 3 8 7 Ü Ü To Balance on hand 31st December, 1849.356 6 5 37 6 11 Currency.£393 13 4 Cr.By Balance on hand 30th

speed and strengtli of the white and red men.Besides the purses advertised, we understand there is to be a half mile race open to members of the club only ; and a Ladies race of 200 yards for a gold medal.The Hurdle race on Snow-Shoes will also be a great novelty.There will be a booth with a stove for spectators.Curling.\u2014The Annual competition for the medal of the \u201cMontreal Thistle

JUDGE DRAPER'S COMMENTS ON REDUCED SALARIES, We submit below, an extract from the charge delivered a few days ago by Mr.Justice Draper, to the Grand Jurors ofthe County of York.We entirely concur with the learned judge, in his views of the gross criminally of the annexation agitation.In the United States, Judges receive small salaries, and are elected to office by the people.The question, then, with Judge Draper, is one of life or death.In the first place, he knows that if continued in the Judgeship, his salary would be cut down from £1000 to £350 or £400.In the second place he knows very well that he whould never he elected.Why then should he not \u201cdenounce and condemn\u201d the annexationists ?Judge Draper tells us that he does not wish \u201c to see freedom of publie discussions subjected to undue restraint.\u201d Certainly not : we feel assured of his honor\u2019s extreme anxiety for the liberty of speech and ofthe press : at all events we are certain he has no inclination to be gagged himself ; and yet it might have been notât all inexpedient that the ruling powers had admonished him to abstain from any allusion to the great political topics ofthe day.We know of no man in Canada whose censure will be mere generally esteemed as a high compliment.God forbid that any friend of ours should suffer from the approbation of Judge Draper.We know not whether his honor has taken up the anti-annexation howl instinctively, or under executive instructions ; buteverytrue friend of the cause must rejoice that it has encountered such an antagonist : it could not go to market with a better brand that Judge Draper\u2019s denunciations.\u201cPublic discussion\u201d is, then, to be subjected to due restraint.There is great difficulty in restraining public discussions ; and we apprehend this difficulty will not have been decreased in our case by the course taken by the government in Montreal last April.When a mob of house-burners has been too strong for the government, the combined moral lorce of an entire population will hardly he less successful.We have no doubt that strong coercive measures are in contemplation.We are to have the packed jury system introduced into Canada.\u201c A well defined law of treason for all the colonies and dependencies\u2019\u2019 will probably be passed by the Imperial Parliament immediately : it will, we suppose, be a rescript of the \"Irish Crown Security Law\u2019\u2019, which vvas got up for the trap-pingof John Mitchell, Smith O\u2019Brienandtheir colleagues.Judge Draper tells us, that \u201c not one step can be taken\u201d toward annexation \u201c without guilt.\u201d Of course his honor means only moral guilt.It will therefore, be necessary to make the moral guilt legal guilt.\u2014 Every step towards annexation must, therefore be declared treason, and punished accordingly- Let us now see by what steps annexation is likely to be forwarded.1st.\u2014By denunciations from all persons at present receiving high salaries, or having such in expectation.These offenders should be punished with great severity.They are the worst enemies to British connexion to be found in Canada.2nd.\u2014By high pretension of loyalty and ail tiiat sort of thing, made by certain persons who must either now be great hypocrites, or were once greal fools.These men should be caged; nobody believes them.They are making a bad use of the Queen\u2019s name.3rd\u2014By publishing the market prices of wheat in the United States and Canada.Our farmers may get on well enough without such information.If the newspapers did not shew them how much they lose on every bushel, they would never miss it.They are well enough off as it is : if they were any better they would become impertinent.It will, therefore, be expedient to stop the Telegraph Reports: or the Government can make this establishment a public department, and put a lawyer at the head of it.4th.\u2014By allowing our people to travel in the United States, there to see Railroads, Canals, Manufactories, and other foolish notions, wliich lead ihern to ask themselves how it happens that Colonies languish, whilst the Independent States flourish.The new treason lavv must therefore contain ane exeat regno clause,, forbidding any subject of Her Majesty to cross the boundary line between Canada and the United States.5th\u2014By admitting Books, Newspapers, or other things containing any sort of information from the United States, excepting the unsold copies of the Fame and Glory o/ Old England vindicated by one Peter Brown, and the slave market prices current.A Graham-ing clause must be included in the new law ; and a large supply of the Clarendon detectives must be sent out from Ireland, to take care of the Post Office.6th.\u2014By allowing the electors to vote as they please.This is a growing evil, and must be arrested instantly.7th.\u2014By permitting the Yankees to come into the country and buy our wheat, cows, and other agricultural products The injurious tendency of this practice has become too manifest to require demonstration.It must be stopped.8th.\u2014By allowing the Globe and Pilot to write against Annexation.They are keeping the coal alive by their puffing.Their wind should be stopped forthwith.We have pointed out a few of the steps towards Annexation, and the means necessary to arrest its progress.We hope our discussion of the subject has been \u201clemperate\u201d.Judge Draper advis s us that \u201cdiscussion cannot always be temperate\u201d.It will therefore be best to speak, or write, only in the forenoon ; and to get so dead drunk at dinner, as to be unable to wag one\u2019s tongue, or hold a pen during the rest of the tlay.The complexion of society would be much improved by this change.We thasik his honour for his attention to the state of the gaol.He should have recommended tiie early erection of ihe third wing If it should not he required for the Annexationists, we know of a considerable number of youths in the brass knocker line of business, who will require accommodation by and bye.\u201c I; will be an evil hour,\u201d says the learned Judge, \u201c when the value of our institutions is estimated by pecuniary profit and loss.\u201d Take my purse, take my life, as said the miser to the highwayman, \u201c An evil hour\u2014 yea, verily, that it will be; an hour of sore travail and sorrow ; but come it will.\u201c Value of our institutions!\u201d They are at present worth £1000 a year lo Mr.Draper.What would be their value to him after annexation ?\u201cOur institutions!\u201d Does the learned judge remember the Metcalfe rump \u2022\u2014the glorious triumvirate ! O, dear! Judge Draper weeping over the decadence of our free institutions!! Nero fiddled over the ashes of Rome.Does his honor remember his own slope from the House of Peers into the rotten borough of London ?But enough, here comes himself.Hear him, ye vile annexationists.

yet such is the case,\u2014the consequence is, that freights must bo kept up to meet the charges.Some of the gentlemen connected with the line of which we hive been writing, obtained a charter for connecting the present road with that running from Ogdensburgh to Boston, at Rouse\u2019s Point.We have seen a survey plan of the line, and were pleased to see that it is level and straight, and presents not a single engineering difficulty, the greatest grade being seven feet to the mile, and that for a short distance only, the average grade is not above two feet, no culling or embanking, and little bridging wanted.The distance to the American line is 21 ^ miles from St.Johns : it would be highly desirable to see the extension completed,\u2014an uninterrupted railway communication would then be opened to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Ogdensburgh, Rochester, Buffalo, &,c.On inquiring, the comparative rate of charges on freight between the Western States bordering on the Lake and sea board, we found that the St-Lawrence and Lake Champlain route had a decided advantage over the Erie Canal and Railroad as regards cost, that the saving in time was at least from ten to fifteen days.It is expected that the trade now opened will increase and swell rapidly, the more it becomes known.Table of the highest Amount of Bullion held by the Bank of England at the undermen.tioned Dates from 1796 to 1849, and of the total Amount of Government and other Securities at the Dates Specified.Date.\t\t\tBullion.\tSecurities- 1796\tAug.\t31.\t.£2,122,950\t\t.£17,025,470 1797\tFeb.\t28.\t.\t1,086,170\t\t.16,837,650 \u2014\tAug.\t31.\t.4,089,620\t\t.18,261,170 1798\tAug.\t31.\t.6,546,100\t\t.\t17,349,640 1799\tFeb.\t28.\t.7,563,900\t\t.\t17,039,030 3800\tFeb.\t28.\t.\t6,144.250 .\t.\t21,424,050 1801\tFeb.\t21.\t.4,640,120\t\t.26,424,730 1802\tFeb.\t28.\t.4,152,950\t\t.21,959,820 1803\tFeb.\t28.\t.\t3,776,750\t\t.23,914,900 1804\tAug.\t31.\t.\t5,879,190\t\t.25,826,680 1805\tAug.\t31.\t.7,624,500\t\t.27,772,850 1806\tAug.\t31.\t.6,215.020\t\t.29,473,100 1807\tAug.\t31.\t.\t6,484,350\t\t.20.936,950 1808\tFeb.\t29.\t.\t7,855,470.\t.27,384,080 1809\tFeb.\t28.\t.4,488,7(10\t\t.29.118,200 1810\tFeb.\t28.\t.3 501,410.\t.33,378,580 1811\tFeb.\t28.\t.\t3,350,940.,.\t.37,122,350 1812\tAug.\t31.\t.3,099,270\t\t.38,176,120 18)3\tFeb.\t27.\t.2,884,500.\t.37,930,950 1814\tFeb.\t28.\t.2,204,430.\t.41,989,910 1815\tAug.\t31.\t.3,409,040.\t.44,854,180 1816\tAug.\t31.\t.7,562.780\t\t.37,279,540 1817\tAug.\t31.\t.11,668,260 .\t.32,605,630 1818\tFeb.\t28.\t.10,055,460.\t.30,905,330 1819\tFeb.\t27.\t.4.184,620.\t.31,455,000 1820\tAug.\t31.\t.8,211,080.\t.23,846,120 1821\tFeb.\t28.\t.11,869,900.\t.20,796,270 1822\tFeb.\t28.\t.11,057,150.\t.15,973,081 1823\tAug,\t30 .\t.12,658,240.\t.\t17,467,370 1824\tFeb.\t28.\t.13,810.060.\t.\t18,872.000 1825\tFeb.\t28.\t.\t8,779,100.\t.24,951,330 1826\tAug.\t31.\t.\t6,754,230.\t.25,083,630 1827\tAug.\t31.\t.10,463,770.\t.23,199,320 1828\tAug.\t30.\t.10.498.880.\t.23,905,530 1829\tFeb.\t28.\t.6,835,020.\t.25,384,750 1830\tAug.\t30.\t.11,150,480.\t.24,565,690 1831\tFeb.\t28.\t.8,217,050.\t.25,208,980 1632\tAug.\t28.\t.7,514,000.\t.23.420,000 1833\tAug.\t27.\t.10,871.000.\t.23,245.000 1834\tFeb.\t25.\t.\t9,225,000.\t.25,212,000 1835\tFeb.\t24.\t.\t6,289,000.\t.24.895,000 1836\tFeb.\t23.\t.\t7,787,000.\t.\t27,368,000 1837\tAug.\t29.\t.\t6,548,000.\t.25,357,000 1838\tFob.\t27.\t.10,471,000.\t.\t21,958,000 1839\tFeb.\t25.\t.\t6,773,000.\t.21,741,000 1840\tFeb.\t25.\t.\t4,31 1,000.\t.21,611,000 1841\tAug.\t31.\t.4,822,000.\t.22,602,000 1842\tAug.\t27.\t.9,729,000.\t.22,159,000 18-13\tDec.\t30.\t.12,855,000 .\t.\t21,067,000 1844\tApril\t20.\t.16.015,000.\t.22,150 000 1845\tJune\t21 .\t.16.039,315.\t.\t24,816,318 1846\tA tig.\t29.\t.16.366,068.\t.\t24,804,192 1847\tJan.\t2.\t.14,951.572.\t.\t27.345,182 1848\tMar.\t25.\t.15,316,794.\t.23,992,703 J849\tDec.\t1.\t.16,512,414.\t,.24,109,162 We give the above table this week without comment but it obviously points to conclusions of great national importance.The rapid improvement which has taken place in the quotations of the funds during the last fortnight, is a clear indi.cation of what capitalists think upon the subject ;

have now been before the public for a period of FIFTEEN' YEARS- and during that time have maintained a high character in almost every part of the globe for their extraordinary and immediate power of restoring perfect health to persons sutfering under nearly every kind of disease to which the human frame is liable.IN MANY THOUSANDS of certificated instances, Jhey have even rescued sufferers from the very verge of an untimely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums of the day had utterly failed; and to many thousands they have permanently secured that uniform enjoyment o< health, without which life itself is but a partial blessing.So great, indeed, has their efficacy invariably and infallibly proved, that it has appeared scarcely less than miraculous to those who were acquainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, and upon which they consequently act.It was to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the springs and channels of life, and enduing them with renewed tone and vigor, that~lhey were indebted for their name.Unlike the host of pernicious quackeries which boast of vegetable ingredients, the LIEE MEDICINES are purely and solely vegetable ; and contain neither Mercury, nor Antimony, nor Arsenic nor any other mineral, in any form whatever.They are entirely composed of extracts from rare and powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long known to several Indian tribes, and recently to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are altogether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to medical science ; and were never before administered in so happily efficacious a combination.The first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels the various impurities and crudities constantly settling round them ; and to remove the hardened fæces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines.Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind to produce habitual Costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden Diarrhoea with its imminent dangers.This fact is well known to all regular anatomists who examine the human bowels after death ; and hence the prejudice of these well-informed men against the quack medicines of the age.The second effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES *s to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder ; and, by this means, the liver and lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs.The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and lungs, before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek.The following are among the distressing variety of human diseases in which the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES are well known to be infallible : DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating a flow of pure healthy bile., instead of the stale and acrid kind ; FLATULENCY, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn, Headache, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety, Languor, and Melancholy, which are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a natural consequence of its cure.Costiveness, by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process, and without violence : all violent purges leave the bowels costive within two days.Diarrhoea and Cholera, by removing the sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints are occasioned, and by promoting the lubricative secretion of the mucous membrane.Fevei'S all kinds, by restoring the blood to a regular circulation, through the process of perspiration in such cases, and the thorough solution of all intestinal obstruction in others., The Lm^e Medicines have been known to cure RHEUMATISM permanently in three weeks, and GO UT in half that time, by removing local inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of the joints.Dropsies ab kinds, by freeing and strengthening the kidneys and bladder : they operate most delightfully on these important organs, and hence have ever been found a certain remedy for the worst cases of GRAVEL.Also Worms, by dislodging from the turnings of the bowels the slimy matter to which these creatures adhere.Asthma and Consumption, by relieving the air-vessels of the lungs from the mucous which even slight colds will occasion, and which, if not removed, becomes hardened, and produces these dreadful diseases.Scurvy, Ulcers, ««d Inveterate Sores, by the perfect purity which these LIFE MEDICINES give to the blood, and all the humors.Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, by their alterative effect upon the fluids that feed the skin, and the morbid state of which occasions all eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy, and other disagreeable complexions.The use of these Pills for a very short time will effect an entire cure of SALT RHEUM, and a striking improvement in the clearness of the skin.COMMON COLDS and INFLUENZA will always be cured by one dose, or by two even in the worst cases.PILES.As a remedy for this most distressing and obstinate malady, the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES deserve a distinct and emphatic recommendation.It is well known to hundreds in this city, that the former proprietor of these valuable Medicines was himself afflicted with this complaint for upwards of thirty-five years ; and that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed within the whole compass of the Materia Medica.He however at length tried the Medicine which is now offered to the public, and he was cured in a very short time, after his recovery had been pronounced not only improbable, but absolutely impossible, by any human means.5\tFEVER AND AGUE.For this scourge of the western country these Medicines will be found a safe, speedy, and certain remedy.Other medicines leave the system subject to a return of the disease\u2014a cure by these medicines is permanent\u2014TRY THEM, BE SATISFIED, AND BE CURED.Bilious Fevers and Liver Complaints.General Debility, Loss OF Appetite, and Diseases of Females\u2014these medicines have been used with the most beneficial results in cases of this description:\u2014King\u2019s Evil, and Scrofula, in its worst forms, yields to the mild yet powerful action ol these remarkable Medicines.Nioht Sweats, Nervous Df.bility, Nervous Complaints of ali kinds, Palpitation of the Heart, Painter\u2019s Colic, are speedily cured.MERCURIAL DISEASES, Persons whose constitutions have become impaired by the injudicious use of Mercury, will find those Medicines a perfect cure, as they never fail to eradicate from the system all the effects ol Mercury infinitely sooner than the most powerful preparations of Sarsaparilla.A single trial will place them beyond the roach of competition, in ths estimation of every patient.BE CAREFUL OF COUNTERFEITS.Several have

Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in L834, and he large accumulation of Premiums which has taken place.On the 1st July, 1841, the Company, at their General Meeting, declared an addition of one half to the Sums paid by the Stockholders, and appropriated to those holding Assurances at the participating rate £'2 per cent, per Annum, from the dates of their policies, so that the audition to a policy for .C1U0, in force for I he pre\\ious5 years, has been £100, making it in all £1,100.The Premiums payable to the Company are nevertheless very moderate, and only one hall of them, when an Insurance is for life, need be paid fur the first 5 years alter the date of the policy ; the other half subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted at death, or paid off at convenience.By this arrangement, it becomes easy for a person ol moderate income to secure a provision for his family, and the policy may be re-hnguished on the acquisition of a fortune, within the 5 years, the Assured having paid only one half of the Premiums, instead of the whole, according to the usual practice.Thus a person of 25 years old may, by an annu al payment of £28 16s.3d., for the first five years, and afterwards of the full premium, £57 12s.7d., secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than £3.000, subject only to the decuction of £144 13s.3d., being the amount of premiums unpaid.A person requiring a tempo rary advance of money may also, in terms ol this arrangement, should he within 5 years relinguish the policy of Assurance by means of which he has obtained the advance, give it up on payment merely of one half of the Premiums instead of the whole, according to the usage of most other Offices.The great facilities afforded by the Company, m these and olher respects, are such that it really appears to be a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a fortune, hut of an income, however moderate, to Insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.RATES OF PREMIUM.Age.Without Profits.With Profits.25\t\t £1\t18\t5\t\t £2\t2\t11\tper ce;

MILL, PIT, CROSS-CUT and other SAWS, all of superior quality.They also state that these Saws are ground by their patent Machinery, which enables them to claim exclusively for their Saws the advantages derived from the use of these Machines, which are highly important, as the Saws are thereby made perfectly true and regular in thickness, or thick or thin at any part\u2014thus strengthening Circular Saws by gradually increasing them in thickness, from the cutting edge to their centre.The truth and uniformity of their surface renders less set in the saw teeth necessary, and on this account less power is required to drive the saws ; besides they will not need so frequent sharpening, he less liable to become heated, and also produce a saving of tim-her.These Saws may be had of the subscribers,
