AN INFALLIBLE MEDICINE FOR THE REMOVAL OF ALL INTESTINAL WORMS. IT has been too fatally observed '.hat the drastic operation of the usual Anthelmiuctics not imoften leaves the cofistitution of a Worm-Patient more debilitated and irri table than before their exhibition ; thus exemplifying the homely truth, that " the remedy is worse than the disease ;"—but the cure is seldom effected—and in the list of the " opprobria medico. ruse," diseases arising from worms display an awful predominance. In early infancy, convulsions, fever, watery-head, and other • fearful maladies are often only the effects of worms, the re moval of which would so mitigate the symptoms as to ensure a mild treatment of an otherwise doubtful case. To a Mother's anxiety this assurance will impart no small consolation—and to the adult patient, whose hopes have been long mocked and at length desolated by delay and disappointment, this prospect of certain relief will cheer him to the trial of an inestimable remedy. Mr. CIIANIRERLAINK ' S Preparations of COW H A GE are mild and innocuous, have an operation purely mechanical, are sanctioned by the most eminent of the Faculty, and his Treatise on the' subject contains testimonials highly honourable to his practice. It is published at 20, Paternoster-row. The Medicine may be procured at No. 5, Wellington-street, Strand, London ; at Mr. Morcom's, Corn -street, Bristol; and Mrs. Binns, Bath; In Pots, at 4s. 6d. and 9s. each—the latter for the Tape-worm. Country Patients, by enclosing a Bank -note, will receive the balance in the parcel containing the Medicine. No. 5, Wellington-street, Strand, London.

FROM TILE JAMAICA ROYAL GAZETtE, JUNE 28. HONDURAS, is.—Personally appeared before me, Thomas Pickstock, Esq . . one of the Magistrates of this settlement duly elected, Nicol Smith, George Black, Andrew Pieken, and- James Murray, who, being duly sworn upon the Holy Evangelists of A micrery Got, depose and say, that the deponents left the port of Leith, in the ship Kinnersley Castle, bound to Black River on the Mosquito shore, and in • the month of Muth arrived off the bar of the said river, with about one hundred and sixty passengers, about one hundred and fifty-eight of whom were in the employ of Sir Gregor M'Gregor, and intended by him as settlers on land, called by him the terri tory of Poyais ; that immediately on the said ship's arrival, they were landed on Black River, when, instead of finding a large city or town, callfd or named St. Joseph, containing, as had been repre sented to them, a population of about fifteeritundred inhabitants, which would 'nave afforded them every comfort they were led to expect, they found a few miserable huts and tents in a wilderness, containing about forty unfortunate individuals, who had some time befoie arrived in the ship Honduras Packet, and who deponents understood to have embarked and at.• rived under the same unpleasant conditions as those in the ship Kinnersley Castle. Thus thrown on a coast covered with forests, and under the t orr id zone, we soon discovered the fallacy of all the plau sible and highly coloured representations that had led us to forsake our native country. Far from the com forts and advantages we were led to expect, we had not a roof to go under, nor shelter for the women and children. Notwithstanding these discouraging circumstances, every exertion was made to land the -goods and stares that we brought .by the said ship ; and being anxious that no blame should be attached to us from want of exertion, we began to • make a clearance around us, in order to make huts : but had we not before been convinced of the deception im posed upon us, we were now fully so; for we found the state of the country and nature of the soil, as also the labour. requirei, such as that no permahent set tlement could be carried into effect by the European settler alone; but scarcely had our feeble efforts commenced, even to raise a covering from the incle mency of the sx ember, but a cruel disease attacked us; despair seemed - now to take:a strong hold, and soon, out of about 2(X) that arrived, 120 lay sick with fever, nine died, and about ten sought safety'by'flight. —To add to the feelings arising Irom such a situa tion, a short time before the settlers became sick it had been promulgated by the Governor, that the King of the Mosquito Indians declared the grant of Gregor M'Gregor null and void, and required the settlers to take the oath of allegiance to him, or quit the terri tory ; and the taking of which oath appeared incom patible with the duty they owed their Sovereign.— While labouring under this alarm and afflction, about the 20th of April, the schooner Mexiaan Eagle arrived off the bar of the said river from the British settlement of Belize, as deponents understand, with presents to the Islosqinito King. This arrival depo. nents and the other unfortunate people hailed with joy; and as the Governor, Colonel Hall, had, in his proclamation, stated that he was without funds to pay them their monthly wages, in conformity to their agreement with Sir Gregor M'Gregor, and which would have been of no possible use in purchasing from Indians the necessary comforts of life, and which alone still more plainly exhibited the decep tion and imposition, of him who had deluded them thither; and the Colonel further stating, that although he could not sanction their leaving, or supply them with any article, yet he should make no objection to their doing the best for themselves—they prayed tn. be allowed a passage to the British settlen.ent of Be lize, to save themselves from death. Deponents further state, that the settlers who re main at Black Bider are enduring the greatest hard ships and distresi; and if some very • effectual 'mea sure is not immediately resorted to, it is deponents' opinion many w.ll inevitably fill a sacrifice to misery and despair. The deponents and others have been much deceived by the accounts issued by Sir Gregor NlNGregor, as to the state and healthiness of the country; as, in stead of comfortable habitations upon our arrival, we had nothing but the bale pound to sleep upon. That deponents fully believe that not one individual now on the shore would remain there one moment should an opportunity offer to carry them away ; and that they are now anxiously waiting such opportu-• city, and that they will use every exertion in their power to obtain it.
