Sir, 1 shout] have hoped that there would be no objection to grant the motion of which T leve given notice, which is that au humble address be presented to Her Majesty that she will Le gracieusly pleased tu direct the Earl of Elzin and Kincardine surthwith | to tran=mit to Her Majesty's Sceretary of Stage for the Colonies copies of the omitted correspondence between the Irovineial Recretary of Canada and the Secretary tu the Montreal Board of Trade, and will direct that the same be laid before this Honse.~\u2014 But the government have expressed themselves dissatisfied with the terms of my motion.Iap- prehend that Her Majestv's ministers, aud especially the Culonial-office, are somewhat sensitive upon any expression which might intimate a suspicion that any correspondence, or any despateh, had heen purposely omitted Ly the Colonial-oitice.On a former occasion, when I observed upon the emission of this correspondence, the letter of the Provincial Secretary of Canada to the Secretary of the Montreal Board of Trade, the hon.gentleman the [Under- Secretary for the Colonies infurmed the House that no copy of any such letter had been received at the Colonial-uifice\u2014{Mr.Hawes: Hear, hear\u2019.Well, Sir, I take for granted that the statement of the hon.gentleman is perfectly correct.But, Sir, I want to know how it is that a part of the correspondence of the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine should have been omitted?Having thought fit to lay before the House copies of the correspondence between the Governor-General and the Under-Sceretary of State for the Colonies on the subject of the Navigation Laws, such portion of the community as feel interested in the preservation of the Navigation Laws feel deeply hurt that Her Majesty's ministers should have selected those correspondences from Canada which tell in favor of the repeal of the Navigation Laws, and kept back correspondence from the sister colony of New Brunswick, which is of 4 totally different character.The general complaint is, that er Majesty's government think that they are entitled, in laying correspondence before this and the other House of Parliament, to select such despatches only as tell for the poliey of which they are themselves the advocates, lt is because the noble lord (Earl tirey) at the head of the Colonial- office, has avowed that it is his practice, and that Lie deems it his right to lay before us only such of the correspondence as tells for his argument, that the public at large have become deeply sensitive on this subject.Huch has been the course in this case.It is important that this Iouse and the country should know the exact state of feeling in the colu- nies upon these subjects; and it is right also that the country should know the exact state of this matter between the Canadian colonists ani the people of this country as regards the repeal of the Nu- vigation Laws.When the Council of the Board of Trade at Montreal humbly and weekly reprimand the Governor-General of Canada on this question, and insist upon his making known to the Queen and Parliament vf Great Britain, that unless the measures of the government should succeed in making Navigation Laws could possibly give to the Canadians the advantages which were set forth, Sir, the foundation of the real complaint and grievance is, that there are great fluctuations, which they ascribe to the Navigation Laws, in the freights that are charced upon flour ; that they are made inordinately high ; that for four years they average 5s, 1d, while from New York they average only 2s.1d.; that they have fluctuated to the extent of as much as 4s.in the year\u2014all of which is ascribed to the Navigation Laws.Then, sir, [ maintain that E ir] Grey should have observed in answer to these discontented colonists, that, in supposing that the average freights to New York were 2¢, 1d,, they were grossly deceived, for he might have stated to them with great truth that which he might have asceitained trom the secretary of the Steam Packet Company, that the average freight during the last four years from New York has not been 2s, 1d.but 3s.14d.; while IT find that the fluctuation in the amount of freight in Canada, as compared with New York, is from 3s.6d.to 7s, 6d., which is the gravamen of the complaint of these petitioners.They complain that the fluctuations in freight be- ween New York and England on flour are from 2s, 9d.to 8s.64, ; so that while the fluctuation as complained of by the Canadian agrigulturist is 4d., the fluctuation in freight in one year, between New York and this country, on flour, amounted to no less than 5s, 94, So that how can it be believed that the repeal of the Navigation Laws is to secure the Canadians from fluctuations in freight 7 But, sir, Earl Grey, instead of exciting the Canadian colonists to entertain hopes which he must have well kuown must be speedily disappointed if the Navigation Laws were to be repealed\u2014Earl Grey, instead of leading them to suppose that the repeal of these laws would put them upon an equal footing with the merchants and farmers of the State of New York, should have reminded them that no repeal of those laws could possibly put Montreal upon an equal footing with New York\u2014that no measures of legislation could put one country upen an equal footing with another, with regard to which it has pleased Providence that the navigation should be closed by frost duting five months out of the twelve \u2014 (hear, hear)\u2014thut no competition could possibly put Montreal upon an equal footing with New York, when Quebec, which is 175 miles lower down the stream than Montreal, requires a voyage of ten days, one, and fifteen days the other, more than is ! required with regard to the former, when it requires twenty days to pass from New York to Ports- | mouth, and thirty days I understand, as an average, for the passage back from Portsmouth to New York, while the average voyage fiom Quebec to London is 45 days.But, sir, there are other difliculties.It has pleased Providence that the navigation of the St.Lawrence should be interrupted and made daugerous not only by shoals and rapids tut by fogs and snow storms.\u2018The result of this is that not only are from 20 to 30 days required on an average as the voyage between New York and London, but the charge of insurance is in proportion to the risks, and while the insurance to New York averages from 40s.to 60s.per cent,, the insurance from Montreal, even in the most favorable seasons, is never less than 4/.per cent.; thus the insurance rises as the season of autumn approaches ; at portions of the year it rises to &/, to 91, per cent, ; in the month of September no insurance is given, except upon the most extorlionate the channel of commerce of the St.Lawrence as cheap as the channel of commerce of New York, the painful consequence\u2014to use their own term\u2014 the painful consequence of the policy of this country in withdrawing from its colonies that protection to which they were entitled, will be most seriously to endanger the relation between then and the mother country.It is right that parliament should at least have laid before them the whole of the communication with the Bonrd of Trada af \\antroal on this subject; and I must say, to me it does seem most surprising that the Earl of Llgin and Kincardine, whose habits of business are so well known and so well appreciated, should have omitted to send to the Colunial-office a copy of this despatch.I wish to know whether he has received instructions to send home only such despatches as tell for the policy of the government, or whether it is in consequence of his own notions only that he has omitted this despatch ; or whether (as I am inclined to believe is the fact) the despatch was transmitted, and lost on its way to this country.Sir, the government may fcel that, if my motion were agreed to in its present shape, the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine might, in his own defince, make some statement which would not be palatable to the governmeut,\u2014 But their sensitiveness upon this point is the very reason why I ought to press the motion iu the terms in which I have framed it.Sir, in making this motion, I cannot help entering into some few observations upon the character of this correspondence.Sir, the colonies tell the House, in terms that cannot be very well misunderstood, that unless the effect of the repeal of the Navigation Laws should be to put the cost of transit by the St.Lawrence upon an equal footing with the cost of transit by way of New York, the result rust necessarily be to dissolve the ties which connect the colonies with the mother country.Now, Sir, upon receiving memorials to that effcet, what sort of answer ought to have been made by the Secratary of State for the Colonies ?Why, it seems to me that he would have done his duty by showing he could possibly so reduce the cost of transit between Montreal and Great Britain as to put it upon an equal footing with the cost of transit between New York and this country.But, Sir, what is the answer that Earl Grey makes ?Earl Grey states that he has presented these memorials and these petitions to Her Majesty, and that they have been very graciously received ; and on the 7th of July, within four days, as far as my recollection serves me, of the time when it became notorious to this House that Her Majesty's ministers did not intend to proceed with their measure for the repeal of the Navigation Laws\u2014uwithin four days of the time that Iler Majesty's ministers formally announced that they had shelved the repeal of the Navigation Laws, Earl Grey writes to Lord Kincardine to say that * [er Majesty's ministers hasten to assure Earl Kincardine that Her Majesty\u2019s servants are fully sensible of the extreme importance to Canada of the measure which is now under the consideration of the legislature, and that they entertain a confident opinion of its being passed into a law.\u201d On the 7th of July last Earl Grey states that the government seriously belicve and entertain a confident opinion and hope that this measure would pass this session.Well, then, Sir, what is the effect?Why, that Earl Grey counsels the Earl of Elgia and Kincardine to excite the colonies to the bellef that (bis measure for the repeal of the Navigation Laws will be of the utmost importance to the colonies ; he leads them to hope, of course, that all their sanguine predictions will be fulfilled, and, of course, when they learn, within ten days afterwards, her Majesty \u2019s ministers have abandoned the measure, disappointment, dissatisfaction, and discontent must prevail throughout the colonies.But, Sir, I maintain that it was the duty of Earl Grey, instead of encouraging the colonies to entertain this vain and {utile hope, that any competition could put a colony, that was so disadvantageously situated by climate and position as compared with New York, upon an equal footing with Rew York, it was the duty of Earl Grey to show that no repeal of the terms.But there are also other expenses that no legislation can remove ; and they are these\u2014that the tide rising and falling to a distance of 45 miles beyond Quebec renders it necessary for ships going to Montreal against the stream to go to the expense of employing steam.tugs, I have a statement of the cost of pilotage, To pilot a ship of 150 tons will cost 12/., whilst to pilot the same ship up the St.Lawrence to Montreal and back again will cost 37L.The cost of asleam tug frou Quebec and Montreal, is for a 400 tons, 70l., and to bring her back 45, Well, with these different charges and insurances it would make a sum total, which you cannot remedy by act of parliament, cqual to 10d, per barrel upon flour.Then setting that lengthy voyage\u2014setting aside the difference between the position of the Sf, | Lawrence and Montreal, and the fact that only two voyages can be made in the year instead of three which can be made from every other place, how is it possible that by any legislation with this system of repealof the Navigation Laws, let it be as successful as is desired by the most sanguine of those who hope that the iron hand of competition will bring down everything to the lowest point, how is it possible that you can place the cost of freight to Montreal upon an equal footing with that of New York ?And yet you have the Secretary of State and the Governor-General of Canada encouraging the colonies to believe that these ends are to be attained by the repeal of the Navigation Laws\u2014encouraging them only to be disappointed.If you should succeed in carrying your repeal of the Navigation Laws, after a short interval they will come to you and say that your promised boon, which was to put the produce of Western Canada upon an equal footing with the produce of the United States, has proved entirely worthless 5 and then, sir, they will say, as they tell youin those communications, that the commercial union between the Canadas and the United States must be drawn closer, and that the next result will be, that they will cast off their connexion with the mother country.But, sir, let me ask leave to warn these colonies that, if any people are to suffer by a repeal of the Navigation Laws, none that I know will suffer more than these every colonies, I hold in my band a statement of the number of persons engaged in the timber trade of Quebec.There are 45 firms possessing 1,504 ships.This statement shows that 21 of these firms are bankrupt, and nineteen others are about to stop payment.Why, sir, one of the most successful trades in northern Canada has been ship-building.Foreigners, under the new system, will at once avail themselves of that wealthy branch of Canadian trade.Well, sir, but what do the Canadians say ?They tell you thatas long as the fostering policy of this country was maintained towards the colony of Canada that they had no reason to complain of the Navigation Laws; for that fostering policy, which admitted the flour of Canada upon favored terms into this country, more than fully compensated for any disadvantages she might be supposed to be under from the monopoly\u2014if it be inonopoly\u2014arising from the Navigation Laws, But, sir, the object of my motion is to secure that no Governor-General\u2014if it be the object of the Governor-General, which I cannot help doubling\u2014that no Governor-General, and no minister connected with the colonial or any other office under the Crown, shall presume to present to this house partial extracts of any correspondence, or shall presume to lay before this house information connected with his department intended for the purpose, and calculated not to tell the whole truth, and not cast light upon the subject in question which it may be in the power of his department to throw upon it.And my object is to learn how it comes about that the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine is treading the steps so condemned by the public at large, viz., that adopted by the Colonial-office of laying before parliament only so much information as favors its own particular views of the subject.The noble lord concluded by moving the resolution given above, Mr.D\u2019Israeli having seconded the motion.Lord J, Russell said: Mr, Speaker, I do not think it necessary or eonvenient, at this lime, to enter into a discussion whether the repeal of the Navigation Laws wouid or would not be useful to Canada, or whether it would answer the objects which the Montreal Board of Trade have in view.1 think that such a discussion will far better take place when any measure with regard to the Navigation Laws is proposed, when the discussion would properly come on.The only question, as I understand the noble lord on this occasion, is for an address for i what has been omitted in the correspondence now before the house.The objection to the noble lords motion is simply this, that his motion appears to convey an incorrect notion of the facts of the case.Any person reading this address for what had not heen laid before the house would suppose that Lord Elgin had been to blame in not sending the correspondence which had taken place between the Provincial Secretary of Canada and the Secretary of the duties vf Lis office wheu he promotes the welfare of the middle classes, and extends their political privileges for the support of his own party.We tell him that the first duty of a Minister of the Crown is to provide, so far as he can, for the wants of the working classes.In few countries has the Government this power, but the Government of Great Britain possesses it, and eminently possesses it, through the medium of its colonies.Let the ocean be bridged across from Cape Clear to Quebec, and Lord John Russell would find that hundreds of i thousands of our population would speedily seek an asylum beyond the Atlantic, and convert the unproductive regions of the \u201cfar west\u201d into fertile corn fields and smiling pastures.Even a free passage would do much to promote colonisation in North America; it would be bridging the ocean for the emigrants, But we would propose to do more than this: we would settle them on allotments at a small the Montreal Board of Trade ; and that he ought to be reprimanded for that neglect, and ordered to send the correspondence forthwith.Now, the fact is, that on the 3Ist of May, Lord Elgin writes a despatch to my noble friend Lord Grey, in which he informs him that a correspondence has taken place, and that there are memorials to both houses of parliament, which he sends for the consideration of my noble friend.This correspondence consists, besides the memorial, of a letter of th: President of the Montreal Board of Trade, in answer to the Provincial Secretary.In answer, the Provincial Secretary reproves the President of the Montreal Board of Trade for the particular expression in the original letter, in which he said that unless the navigation | of St, Lawrence was to be made free to the United { States, the inevitable result wouid be the dissolving of tiie ties which connect the latter with the mother country.Now, it appears that after this reply was written, there was another answer from the Secre- expression which had been originally used.Lord Elzin wrote on the 31st, \\Vhether it was that he had not received that reply at the time when the \u2018despatch was sent, or whether he considered it to be of no great importance, I am sure I know not ; but I know I consider that the matter is of very little \u2018 importance\u2014(hear, hear.) The noble lord conclud- \"ed by suggesting that the terms of the motion should be altered as not to imply any blame upon Lord Elgin, ; After a few words from Mr.D\u2019Israeli (which were inaudible) and Mr.Hawes, Lord G, Bentinck: In asking leave to withdraw my motion, I may perhaps be allowed to correct a mistake into which the noble lord has fallen, There is one despatch from Lord Elgin, dated the 15th of June.The omission of which I complain isin a paper dated the 8th of June, and was published in the newspapers on the 13th of June, and it arrived simultaneously with that dated the 15th of June, So far as to the noble lord\u2019s dates.The noble lord is also under à mistake in stating that the communication from the Secretary of the Montreal Board of Trade was written by that person ex mere molu, and contained merely the expression of his own opinion, Such is not the case.The secretary wrote by direction of the Montreal Board of Trade, which is quite a different thing\u2014ghear, hear)\u2014and that board ordered this communication to tbe Earl of El.gin after eleven days\u2019 consideration, Lord J.Russell said he should not object to the motion being withdrawn, except that they would have another motion made on the amendment that the house go into a committee of supply.He must, therefore, request that the motion be negatived, Mr.Urquhart hoped the government would allow him to bring forward the following motion, which stood in his name on the paper :\u2014< That from the correspondence laid upon the table of this house in reference to the suppression of the slave trade in Mussulinan countries, it appears that her Majesty\u2019s servants have adépted proceedings calculated to aggravate the horrors of the traffic, and to alienate ! from this country the goodwill of the gavernmeats and nations so interfered with.\u201d He had withdrawn it on a former evening.on a suggestion that the government would allow him to bring it forward one supply night, It would occupy him but a very short time.Lord J, Russell said he was not in the house when such a suggestion was made, and could not assent to the wish of the honorabie gentleman The motion of Lord G, Bentinck was then negatived.(From the London Merchant & City Chronicle, Aug.15.) THE IMPORTANCE OF EMIGRATION, Lord John Russell's Government will be very happy to diffuse information on the subject of emigration, but his lordship is not inclined to promote it at the national expense.He thinks it will be much better for people to concert among themselves, and make their emigration regular and well-con- ducted, than to look to the Government.Such is the substance of Lord John Russell's reply to Lord Ashley a few evenings since, when questions were put to him on this very vital object.Diffuse information, indeed! What information can Lord Johd Russell diffuse which is not within the reach of every one without his lordship\u2019s kind assistance ?\u2018The information which is known throughout the land is, that these islands have à population beyond the means of employment ; this is alike felt in England, in Scotland, but, above all, in Ireland ; and while this is known to the starving millions, it is also known that Great Britain has convenient and fertile colonies lying waste, where they could be established in comfort and independence at an expense comparatively trifling with the burden they now bear on their native soil.Let Lord John Russell try the experiment ; let him come down to the House of Commons next year, and the year after, and even the following year, and ask for à million to promote colonisation, and we will undertake to say that it will be voted by acclamation, provided it islikeiy tobe judiciously and prudently applied.He is deceiving him- selfif he thinksto evade the question of Colonisation : nolens volens the measure will be forced upon him, should it be his fate to be two or three years longer in office ; and not only this, but he will be too happy to escape innumerable other difficulties by coming out as a volunteer for what he now repudiates.Does Lord John Russell wish to subdue insurrection in Ireland ?1f so, he must promote colonisation.Does he wish to put down Chartism in England and Scotland?1f so, he must resort to colonisation.Is it his desire to relieve the frequent and periodical distress of the manufacturing districts by opening up new markets to our trade ?1f he has any such benevolent intentions he must look to the colonies.Is he anxious to hear no more of the predatory wars of the Kaffirs?If so, he must people the Cape settlement, Does he wish to secure Canada from hostile invasion ?If he does, let him settle one hundred colonists where there are now but fifty ; let him give them an interest in the cultivation and protection of the soil, and he may withdraw the troops from Kingston and Montreal.When Lord John Russell speaks of the cost of colonisation he must be speaking without thought or reflection : are paupers fed and housed at home without costing anything ?No, but the misfortune is, that what they cost one year they cost the next ; while the number to be fed at the public charge is annually increasing.Lord John Russell may think that he performs all tary of the Montreal Board of Trade, defending the | rent and a purchase-money payable by annual in- ( stalments.In this way the expense of the colonisation would be speedily repaid, while the land would be ample security for the repayment.The neediest ! of the emigrants, those who had no means, might be { employed, and profitably employed, in clearing the forest lands, making roads, and opening up commu- i nications for the other settlers.In fact, in no pos- .sible way could a portion of the national resources be so advantageously laid out, because, every other .consideration apart, in no other way could it be so | profitably expended as in peoplivg and reclaiming { our North American colonies.! So confident are we that the Government will { have to resort tu an extensive colonisation, more es- - pecially in Canada, that we would recommend Lord : John Russell, during the recess, to think, not mere- i ly how he may diffuse information, but how Ire may \u2018carry it into practical operation.If preliminary , measures are too long deferred\u2014if colonisation is suddenly and abruptly forced upon the Government, ; without timely preparation, they will find the difficulty and the expense of the undertaking considera- ; bly increased, and the success of it materially abridged: we must have no more such emigration as occurred in 1847, Let us remind Lord John Russell that emigration to North America should be planned » and provided for in the earliest spring months, immediately after the meeting of Parliament; let him then seud ont his pioneers in time to be clearing the forests and making roads.QUEBEC: WEDNESDAY, 5tit SEPTEMBER, 1848.BY TELEGRAPH.[Reported for the Quebce Gaz.tic.] !

but those planted in January, early in February, and in the autuinn, are most valuable, because though now entirely checked, they # have obtained an edible size, if they happen to be it to eat, and may be stored with lime for future we.The crop is very large and fine, and would, Int for this visitation of Providence, have given a great supply of tubers.ere we are filling the plots cleared of potatoes with turnips and cabbages.¢ (Signed) PorTMAN.\"\u201d UxION OF TUE BriTisim NORTIL AMERICAN à Coronies\u2014The idea suggested inthe following paragraph, by the Newfoundland Courier, is worthy of consideration : «Were the five British Colonies united into one, with the capital at Quebec, and a railroad extending # from Halifax to Sandwich, the united colony would contain one fourth of the totai population of all the British Colonies; and with the principles of self- government in vigorous operation, based on the responsibility to the local Legislature of the Governor\u2019s advisers, the business of the Colonial Office, as far as North America is concerned, would be immensely reduced and simplified, and the importance of our numbers and position might fairly entitle us to an Under-Secretary for ourselves.\u201d ENCKE's COMET has been seen by Mr.Bond, of the Cambridge Observatory, near Boston.A MITRED ScHOOLMASTER.\u2014We hear that the recently appointed Catholic Bishop of Bytown is about to have a college built in that young and fast rising city of the Ottawa.The prelate is also to give evening lessons in French and English grammar, with geography, arithmetic, &c.The inhabitants of Bytown must feel grateful to His Lordship, for the knowledge of both languages is indispensably necessary to them.The Siamese Twins, after being in private life for ten years, will start this fall on a tour of exhibition, As they each have a wife and three children, we presume they find it necessary to provide ÿ for their increasing families.\u2014 (Philadelphia North American.) _ We hear that a petition to His Excellency, praying fora reprieve for the soldier of the 19th Regiment, who was found guilty at the lasi Criminal term, of shooting his Corporal, is now being got up, and will immediately be presented.The main ground of this application is a belief that the man is insane, It will be remembered that the crime was Committed almost without any provocation, and that the conduct of the convict subsequently was most strange and incoherent.\u2014 (Montreal Transcript.)

Here were ladies, who, but a short time ago, received in their saloons the greatest men in Europe, and even Royalty itself, enduring that worst of all miserable situations\u2014the steerage of a ship during a long voyage.It is, at least, a comfort to know that the ; have been befriended since their arrival, and, it 1s to be hoped, will yet enjoy the comfort and tranquillity to which they have won the right by privation and suffering.\u201d (To the Editor of the Quebec Gazette.) } is the case in several parts of the Home District, lie same complaint is made in the Newcastle, Wellington and Gore Districts.From the Niagara District, where the wheat crop is said to be excellent, We hear no complaint of rust.In all cases the late Sown wheal appears to have suffered most from the 1st.The Missisquoi (L~Canada) « News?\u2019 speaks of spring wheat in that country being a heavy crop, oy not allogether free from the ravages of the fly.Potato rot has appeared to some extent almost : ig! where.It has appeared more or less through- well | these Colonies, and in the United States ; as \u201c as in England, Ireland and Scotland, There ei Sur Plaints ofrust in some sections of the Unit- is lates, but it does not appear to have extended whiarages very generally, In Upper Canada the et crop will probably average 15 bushels an ut In the opinion of many tolerable accurate the the crop of last year did not average more 810 bushels an acre.\u2014 (Toronto Examiner.)

interested in the flourishing condition of those institutions, which private munificence and public liberality have so generally provided for the reception and main- , tenance of the indigent sick and infirm, in this and other cities of Christendom.In looking into the institutions of this kind, a few days since in this city, I was particularly struck with the excellent order and perfect neatness which pervade every department of the Marine Hospital, rendering it one of the most comfortable asylums for those who are detained, of any institution of a similar kind that I have ever had the satisfaction to visit.Through the civility and politeness of the gentlemanly superintendent of the institution, Mr, Whelan, I was permitted to pass through all the apartments from the kitchen to the garret ; the wards for the accommodation of the sick and infirm are numerous, and remarkably clean and well ventilated ; there were not many sick in the wards, and the most of them were convalescent.There is a gentleman of the medical faculty resident in the establishment to attend upon the sick.It is really a pleasure to visit an institn- tion under such excellent supervision and good management as the Marine Hospital in the city of Quebec.A STRANGER.Quebec, 28th August, 1848.PORT OF QLEI EC ARRIVED, Sept.Ath.Schr.Sunderland, Treanor, Syduey, (C.B.,) 25th Aug, order,

debility, and nervous consumption of the last stage, and did not expect to ever gain my health at all, After going though a course of medicine under the care of some of tho most distinguished re- sular physicians and members of the Board of Health in New York and elsewhere, and spending the most of m earnings in attempting to regain my health, and after reading in some paper of your Sarsaparilla, 1 resolved to try it.After using six bottles I found it done me great good and called to see you at your office ; with your advice I kept on, and do most heartily thank you for your advice.I persevere in taking the Sarsaparilla, and have been able to attend to my usual labors for the last four months, and I hope by the blessing of God and your Sarsaparilla, to continue my heath.It helped me beyond the expectations H that knew my case.ofe 7 CHARLES QUIMBY.Orange, Essex Co., N.J., Aug.2, 1847.State of New Jersey, Essex County, ss.Charles Quimby being duly sworn according

:\u2014I verily believe that your Sarsaparilla has been the means, through Providence, of saving my life.1 have for several years hada bad cough.It became worse and worse.\u2014 At last I raised large quantities of blood, had night sweats, and was greatly dobilitated and reduced, and did not expect to live.I have only used your Sarsaparilla but à short time, and there has a won- derfal change been wrought in me I am now able to walk all over the city.I raise no blood, and my cough has left me.You can well imagine that I am thankful for these results, Your obedient servant.WM, RUSSELL, 653, Catherine St.LOST HER SPEECH.The annexed eertificate tells a simple and truthful story of suffering and relief.There are thousands of similar cases in this city and Brooklyn, and yet there are thousands of parents let their children die for fear of being humbugged or to save a few shillings.Bzook1yn, Sept.13, 1847.Dr.TowxsEvn :\u2014I take pleasure in stating, for the benefit of those whom it may concern, that my daughter two years and six months old, was afflicted with general debility and loss of speech.She was given up as past recovery by our family physician ; but fortunately I was recommended by a friend to try your Sarsaparilla.Before having used one bottle she recovered her speech and was enabled to walk alone, to the astonishment of all who were aequainted with the circumstance.She is now quite well ard in much better health than she has been for 18 months past, JOSEPH TAYLOR, 128, York Street, Brooklyn.TWO CHILDREN SAVED.Very few families indeed\u2014in fact we have not heard of one\u2014that used Dr.Townsend's Sarsaparilla in time, lost any children the past summer, while those that did not, sickened and died.The certificate we publish below is conclusive evidence of its value, and is only another instance of its saving the lives of children : Dr.Townsexp\u2014Dear Sir : I had two children cured by your Sarsaparilla of the summer complaint and dyssen- tery; oue was only 15 months old aud the other 3 years.They were very much reduced, and we expected they would die; they were given up by two respectable phyei- cians.\u2014 When the Doctor informed us that we must lose them, we resolved to try your Sarsaparilla we had heard so much of, but had but little confidence, there being so much stuff advertised that is worthless ; but we are very thankful that we did, for it undoubtedly saved the lives of both, 1 write this that others may be induced to use it.Yours, respectfully, JOIN WILSON, Jr, Myrtle-Avenue, Brooklyn, Sept.15, 1847.LADY SAVED.The following is from a very respectable farmer residing at Hempstead :\u2014 Dr.Towxsexp\u2014Dear Sir: My wife has been suffering so severely from the Dyspepsia and general derangement ot the system, that we supposed she must die.The physicians could not resist the disease, and she would have died beyond doubt, if we had not given her your Sarsaparilla.It has saved her life certainly.She is almost entirely relieved, and is gaining strength and health.She still continues the use of it.Yours, respectfully, ELIZA ABRAM.COULD NOT WALK.That Dr.Townsend's Sarsaparilla is the very best remedy for female complaints there is no disputing ; thousands and thousands of weak and debilitated females that were prostrated by those diseases to which females are subject, were soon in the enjoyment of robust health.New York, Sept.23, 1847.Dr.Towssenp\u2014Dear Sir: My wife has for the last year been very sick, and in a greatly reduced state of health, being reduced by a variety of complaints, such as females are liable to; she got so bad at length that she was entirely unable to walk, and was as helpless as a child ; she commenced using your Sarsaparilla, and she immediately began to regain her strength, her complaints left her, and after taking several bottles she is restored.Being: a singular cnse I have thought it might do good to publish it.She used a number of remedies that done her no good previously.Yours, respectfully, JOHN MULLEN, 87, Norfolk Street.DYSPEPSIA.No fluid or medicine has ever been discovered which so nearly resembles the gastric juice or saliva, in decomposing food and strengthening the organs of digestion, as this preparation of Sarsaparilla.Tt positively cures every case of dyspepsia, however severe or chronic.Bark DEpARTMENT, Albany, May, 10th, 1845.Dr.Townsend\u2014Sir : I have been afflicted for several years with dyspepsia in its worst forms, attended with sourness of Stomach, loss of appetite, extréme hearthurn, and a great aversion to all kinds of foods, and for weeks (what I could eat,) I have been unable to retain but a small portion on my stomach.1tried the usual remedies, but they had little or no effect in removing the complaint, I was induced about two months since, to try your Extract of Sarsaparilla, and I must say with little confidence ; but after using about two bottles, I found my appetite restored, and the heartburn entirely removed; and I would earnestly recommend the use of it to thess who have been afflicted as I have been.Yours, &e., W.W.VAXZAXDT.For SALE, wholesale and retail ; by
