William Fisk, of St. Alban's, against Mr. Charles Bennett, a sworn broker in the City, having offices at 2, Copthall Chambers, in reference to a stock broking transaction. The complainant, Mr. Fisk, said that Mr. Frederick Bennett had for some time acted as clerk to Mr. Charles Bennett, his father ; that on Sept. 6 last the complainant wished to buy fifteen £2O shares in the Sevenoaks, Maidstone, and Tunbridge Railway, then quoted as at par, and on that day he went to the office of Mr. Charles Ben nett, where he saw his son Frederick, the father not being then in attendance. lle explained the business to the son, and resolved to buy the railway shares, with which view lie had to sell some New £3 per Cent. Atinuitie3, which he possessed. Later in the day he went with the son to the Bank of England, and sold out £350 New £3 per Cent. An nuities, which realised £309 odd, and that stun he handed over to the son to pay for the railway shares. The son gave him the customary bought note signed on behalf of his father, and handed the complainant the balance, £6 3s. 9d„ promising to send him the share certificate in a few days, but that he had never done, notwithstanding many applications that he would fulfil his engagement. The secretary of the railway company had written to the complainant, in answer to a letter from him, that his name did not appear on the books of the company as a share holder. On 6th January the complainant received a letter from Mr. Frederick Bennett, the son, to the effect that, on balancing his accounts at the end of the year, he was somewhat deficient, and was compelled to beg his indulgence for a short time, while he was arranging his affairs. The writer en closed a promissory note for the amount due from him, which note the complainant returned, declining to accept it. Under these circumstances the com plainant prayed that the Court of Aldermen would be pleased to put in force the bonds of Mr. Charles Bennett, the broker in question, or to take such other steps as to them should seem meet. It may be stated that every sworn broker in the City gives security to the Court of Aldermen, himself in £l,OOO and two sureties in £250 each, for the due and just execution of his office. The Court exercises a very stringent supervision over brokers in the public interest, with a view to prevent collusion and fraud, insisting particularly, with that view, that a broker shall on all occasions act only between party and party, and in no case as a principal. This is understood to have been the only instance within the last three years in which the Court has been asked to exercise its penal jurisdiction. The answer of Mr. Charles Bennett in this case, made by a letter, was in effect that he had retired from busi ness about eight years ago in favour of his son, that he himself was seventy-eight years of age, and resided in the country, a considerable dis tance from London, and that, though he knew no thing of the transaction in question, he would have been willing to make restitution to the party ag grieved if it had been in his power. Ms son Frede rick did not appedr in court to make any explana tion. Eventually the Court referred the matter for consideration to a committee of their body. A re port was presented by Mr. Alderman Stone, chair man of the general purposes committee, to whom, on the 26th of January, it was referred to consider a communication from the Chamberlain of London, relative to the sale of freedoms of the City. The committee stated that they had been attended by the Chamberlain, whom they had heard upon the subject, and, after due consideration, they were of opinion, and recommended, that the sale of free doms should be no longer continued, and that the charge of £25 upon the admission to the freedom of " foreigners," that is persons neither living nor trad ing within the City, should cease. The report was agreed to, and the Court adjourned. PRICE.- 4.1. STAMPED 51 The Improved Metropolitan Railway. On Saturday Messrs. John Noble and Co., engi neers, of 10, Bridge-street, Westminster, exhibited at the Westminster Palace Hotel a model of the improved Metropolitan Tramway, to be submitted to Parliament during the present session. The model represented a cross section of the tramway and two of the rails, which are made of malleable iron, but in practice Bessemer steel will be used. The cross-tie is fastened to the sleepers by a trenail of iron, but can be done by wood or any other suitable fastening. The company have obtained a patent for their roof or crescent rail ; and a plate, as shown in the model, is inserted into the upper surface of the sleeper beneath each joint of the rail, in order to make each joint more rigid and durable, and screws fastening the rail to the sleeper below. The model also represented, between the rails, on which the carriages are to run, woodwork, imitative of the ordinary paving -stones, cubes, or macada mised materials used for streets or road-making, which are laid so as to be level with the top of the rail. After the model was fully investigated by the company, Mr. Noble more elaborately de scribed its merits. The rail is laid below the level, and is such a mere slit or chink in the roadway, that in crossing " the most tender vehicle cannot experience any shock," amounting to no more than such a rent as is com mon between paving stones—amounting, in short, to a smooth, shallow groove, in which the wheels of tramway carriages will run noiselessly, and with "a very small amount of friction." It was explained that the use of longitudinal sleepers allows of the adoption of a very thin rail, the upper surface of which is convex, or crescent-shaped, the wheel tyres b previous r e aeo i sv n b i g ll oei ku c aes o idl imo n yavf c temaet a rnilo v lntntie e lisedbtr hne i u st n soceo of of fhnao e te y i hmtt r oehseprp p we apetlatnoorltriysrepate Bayswater inteteoraanmawydsrt which hiyaoac fi emyshni ut t eeto t emhfinf h ten. fde i rb n roi oan .. inlmsgtep based Trainl I watt i ha g r ayee . nesaGhsuftoeiaenswabaernin:s.General and extended obstruction through 0f ch atOxford-streetrailwa railway, the account large ccou n t of the dangerous jumps and jerks in crossing and re-crossing the rails ; but, as Mr. Noble explained, the proposed crescent rail is laid on a level with the road, and therefore there cannot by any possibility be the " jumps and jerks" referred to. And with respect to legal decisions, he showed that the inves tigation of the cases heard at the police-courts and the action at the Croydon assizes demonstrated that the danger arose in every case from the peculiar form of rails used. The opinion of the company present was unanimously in favour of the proposi tion of Messrs. Noble and Co.

ATTEMPTED MURDER. --.A. determined attempt to murder was made yesterday afternoon in the immediate vicinity of Finsbury. Between three and four o'clock some persons passing along Eldon-street observed a man in working dress stab a man much younger than himself. The wounded man staggered, and exclaimed, " Send for a doc tor ; I am dying." A medical man was immediately in attendance, and finding three wounds, one very dangerous, about the lower region of the throat or neck, he dressed them, and had the sufferer removed to St. Bartholomew's hospital. A person who had witnessed the occurrence fol lowed lowed the assailant until ho met a police-constable, to whom he mentioned what bad happened.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, Sic., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

The Foundering of the Ship London. --- 0- OFFICIAL INQUIRY. The inquiry directed by the Board of Trade into the circumstances under which the London foun dered in the Bay of Biscay on the 11th ult. was re sumed at the Greenwich Police Court yesterday before Mr. Trail, police magistrate, and Captain Harris and Captain Baker, nautical assessors. Mr. O'Dowd appeared for the Board of Trade ; and Mr. W. Hitchcock on behalf of Mr. Cutting, whose daughter was lost in the ship ; Mr. Clifford Wigram, one . of the owners 3f the London, was also present. The first witness called yesterday was Richard Lewin, an able seaman on board the London, but after answering a few questions he became so con fused that his further examination was postponed. Benjamin Sheals was then called and examined. He said he was an able seaman on board the Lon don on her last voyage. He had been a sailor 18 years. On the ship leaving Plymouth the weather was fine and calm. On Sunday morning they had a light wind ; they were on the starboard tack, and had been so ever since leaving Plymouth. He had taken his turns on the watch, and was on deck from 12 to 4 on Monday morning, when he went below. At 8 o'clock the same morning he came on deck again. It was then blowing hard, but in what direction he could not say. He remained on deck till 12. The wind was increasing. He went below at 12, and came on deck Again at 4. The ship was still on the starboard tack, and was then labouring very hard. At 8 o'clock on Tuesday the ship was pitching. The flying jib had been washed away, and he and others went out and restored it. He then went below, and at 12 came on deck again, when the jibboom was pitched away and the head of the foretopmast and the mainroyalmast were gone. During the time he was on deck on Tuesday the lifeboat was washed away. The ship was then labouring hard, and the coals on deck were drifting about. No water had then been made. He was on watch from 6 to 8 on the evening of Tuesday, and then a green sea came over the bow of the ship, and the water ran down the main hatch. The wind was at this time a very hard gale, and a cross sea. He went below at 10, came up at 12, and remained till 4 on Wednesday morning. The captain was then on the quarterdeck. During the middle watch the ship was steamed round on the port tack. He was employed at the time in baling water out of one of the saloons. The ship appeared to him to lie easier on the port tack than on the starboard tack ; she did not ship so much water over to leeward. He was on deck again at 1, when the wiud was blowing almost a hurricane. The watch were then called to get the jibboom in. They got it up and fastened it to the forerigging on the port side ; but at 12, when he went below, the flying jibboom was hanging overboard on the port side. The boom had been broken. He came on deck again at four p.m., when a heavy sea came and swept everything before it. This happened just as witness was lashing one of the broken parts of the jibboom to the side of the vessel. The water knocked him against a case, which injured his leg, and he was obliged to be taken below. The two midship ports were knocked away altogether. About half-past 11 that night he crept on deck on his hands and knees, when another dangerous sea swept over the ship and he was then taken down into the forecastle, where he remained till 8 o'clock in the morning of Thurs day. Reports then came that the ship was sinking fast, when he again crawled out and got on deck. He could see she was going and settling hard. He helped to lash some of the gear that was float ing about the deck to the forecastle: The ship was taking the water clean across over all ; she was clearing herself as well as she could through her ports. At that time they had no command of the ship ; her helm was half down. She was laid to the best advantage. Orders weregiyen by Capt. Martin to get out the boats that remained, the starboard lifeboat and the port lifeboat and the cutter haying all gone. About 9 or half-past 9 o'clock in the morn ing they got the starboard iron boat out, when Mr. Harris told the men to get into her. Witness was the last man out of six who did so. While the boat was being lowered, the bow fall went too quickly, and the boat went down under the ship. Ropes were hanging from the ship, and the men got on board again. They then took the port boat and pre pared it. It was impossible to get the iron boat out; the ship continuing to heave so much the boat could not be got clear of her side. Witness then went into the aft saloon, where there were several ladies, and assisted Mr. G. V. Brooke in baling out the water. He and three or four others went to the port cutter and got bread and two bottles of brandy in her, when Capt. Martin said, " Hold a bit, men, don't leave yet." About that time the ship took a heavy sea forward. They immediately flew to the wheel and heaved up, cut the braces, and then let her go. This was done in pursuance of orders given by Mr. Harris. The ship immediately rode round to the other tack, the foresail being then standing. She flew right round before the wind ; he never thought a ship could do anything like it. The ship had never been before the wind till that time since she left Plymouth. As soon as the ship had gone about on her starboard tack Capt. Martin said, " Go into the boat, some of you." They did so, witness being one of them. Eleven lowered themselves down. One man asked Capt. Martin if he would come into h who was standing close by the e wizen boat. rigging, " No, my men, I will not come into the boat ; I will go with the ship, and passengers, and crew." King then asked the captain t The said, captain, the course and distance to the nearest point of land. The captain told him E.N.E. for Brest. Witness then heard the captain shout, " Good bye ! God speed you !" Eight more jumped into the boat, making 19 altogether. The boat was then pushed off, and the ship was sinking fast. The witness then corroborated the evidence which had been already given as to the skylight of the engine-room being completely smashed. passenger on board the examined. He said he was a ship t James ar Lond on,n es l e e s n t Edward was residing lVh a ie t lns : enx a George-street, Tower-hill, and that he was connected with the gold diggings in Australia, The witness referred to a diary which he had prepared from the day the ship left Ply mouth until the catastrophe occurred. He de scribed the wind as increasing from the Sunday, but nothing particular occurred until about 6 o'clock on Monday evening, when the ship gave a considerable lurch, which upset everything. The water then for the first time came in thiough the skylights, and soon after a heavy sea came down the hatchway. About 10 a.m. of Tuesday the ship pitched consi derably ; the jibboom was swept away, and the foremast was broken down. The witness described other damage done to the ship although the day was fine and clear, the sea was strong. The lids of the hatch were closed, but not being tight-fitting they did not prevent the water from coming in. The ladies in the second class showed much terror, the ship continuing to roll very much, During the lull of the sea the hatch was opened to give fresh air to the passengers. He said that the coals which had been put on deck had tumbled out of the sacks and were tumbling about the ship. On Weduesdey he noticed a different motion of the ship, when he heard that she was being put about with the intention of going back to England. She was not running ahead on the sea ; the motion was that of a ship being close haule.l. The weather became worse. On Wednes day the water poured down the hatch incessantly. Everybody was terrified. About 10 o'clock the water on the starboard side of the state room was up to the knees. At 11 o'clock on Wednesday night some sailors came near his state room, and he heard one of them say, " Let us make haste and get a sail, or she will sink." Immediately after an order was given that all men were wanted aft on the poop. That he understood to apply to the passengers, and he went to the poop. The wind was then at its height. He went below into the cuddy. There was a minister praying at the time. All the first-class passengers were in the saloon: As soon as the prayers were over some of the passengers went to assist, and he then learnt the fires were out in the engine -room. He assisted in getting up the sails. While he was holding a light to the men he saw Capt. Martin and Mr. Greenhill in conversation. The doctor and Mr. Harris were also present. On Thursday he was as sisting in baling out water, when Capt. Martin came r and said, " Men, put down those buckets, and come and try to secure the engine -room hatch, for that is the only chance to save the ship. Secure that, and we may keep her up." We all left the buckets, and were going to the saloon, when orders were again given for the sails. Witness went up with a sail, and assisted in nailing itdown over the hatch, where a large heap of other sails had been already nailed down. Soon after Mr. Grant, one of the officers, asked witness to go to the pumps, and he worked at them till the morning. About 9or 10 o'clock they were all relieved by the donkey-engine. He met Capt. Martin, and asked him whether it was any use to continue baling out the water, when he said, " You may, but I think it is of no use." Witness then went to his cabin, and on coming back again he saw that a change had taken place, and that a great mass of water had come down. Nothing was done after that time. He then made up his mind that the ship would not last long, and immediately went to the poop and did not go down again. He saw the sailors preparing the boat, and he stood by waiting his chance of escaping in it, and when it was lowered he got into it, and soon after the ship went down. The inquiry was then adjourned till this day. Searching for Guy Faux. Among the duties that have to be discharged by her Majesty's Government previous to the opening of Parliament by the Queen in person is one of which but little is said, and still less is known. It is a duty which has been performed by successive Governments—Whig, Tory, and Coalition—for more than two centuries and a half ; and it is therefore remarkable for its antiquity, though not perhaps very useful in its results. It is a duty that is per formed with punctuality, and always with great ceremony; and, if it were not for the venerable associations that are connected with it, the search for a Guy Fax of the present day would be almost ludicrous. A short time since Parliament in its wisdom decreed that there was no further necessity for continuing the Form of Prayer and Thanks giving for the sth of November, the anniversary of Gunpowder Plot, and the happy preservation of his sacred Majesty James the First ; but, though the time for prayer and thanksgiving has passed away, the duty of watchfulness is still en forced. The sound of prayer and the song of thanks giving may be hushed, but the feeling of suspicion still lingers in the offices of the Lord Chamberlain and in the Palace of Westminster. "We have for given, but we have not forgotten, the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Any of our readers who had doubts upon these points could yesterday have satisfied themselves of the existence of these feelings, and of the fact of this strange and curious search after traitors and con spirators in the New Houses of Parliament. At 11 o'clock precisely there were assembled in the Prince's Chamber, at the back of the House of Lords, some 70 persons—peers, commoners, officers of the household, yeomen of the guard, policemen of the A division, marshals, and heralds, some in array so " blazing" and gorgeous that it would have " as tonished" Mr. Bright to the highest degree, but all intent ou the one great business before hem--" the search." While the procession was being organised some members of the Government strayed into the royal gallery, and saw and admired the magnificent fresco of Mr. Maclise, the Death of Nelson, which for the first time was uncovered. It is a worthy companion to the grand fresco on the opposite side, of the meeting of Wellington and Blucher on the field of Waterloo. The picture is 45 feet in length and 12 feet in height. It represents the deck and quarter-deck of the Victory. The central figure is the wounded Nelson supported by his officers, a group finely painted and full of character and ac tion ; indeed, one of the tall yeomen of the guard, arrayed in his full plumage, and who stood for some time admiringly before the picture, declared it to be as " good as life." The conclusion is a homely one ; and were it not that there was death in the expression of the dying admiral's face—death painted on so many of the stalwart forms that lie on the deck—death on the poor fellow's face that is being carried by his comrades down the cockpit —death on the quarter-deck, but death relieved by the noble valour of the men who serve the guns— death softened by the sorrowful faces that cluster around the dying Nelson—death, cheered by the consciousness of duty done, the expression of the tall and burly Yeoman would fitly characterise this noble work. While looking on the many beauties of this fine picture, the varied groupings of the figures, the wreathing smoke, the tattered sails, the shattered bulwarks, the torn British ensign still waving proudly in the great sea fight, the deep, rich, but mellowed colouring of Maclise, the order to " fall in" is given, and the great procession is marshalled. Inspector Moran, of the A division, leads the way ; then follows representatives of the high bailiff of Westminster, marshals of the Guard, a detachment of a score of beef-eating Yeomen,with their halberds and swords. The Clerk of the Parliaments, Colonel Todd, one of the exons of her Majesty's Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard, bearing a silver stick of his office; the Earl of Ducie, the Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard; Major Fitzmaurice, the Lieutenant, and other officers of the Yeomen of the Guard ; Mr. Burrell, representing the Lord Cham berlain. The Board of Works was represented by Mr. Fincham, the Clerk of the Works in the new palace ; and there were many others representing various departments of the Government and her Majesty's household. By the courtesy of the Lord Chamberlain we were permitted to join in the search; a lantern was given to each member of the party, and the order, " Right about face, quick march," set the whole cavalcade in motion. It first passed through the House of Lords, going in front of the throne, and along the Opposition side of the house. Ushers and doorkeepers stood respectfully at their posts, and the brazen doors were opened wide at the approach, and we passed in throu g h the Peers' corridor by frescoes which tell of the historical events of the escape of the son and grandson of that James who so narrowly escaped being a victim. of the Gunpowder Plot. Across the large octagon hall the p rocession p assed, each • member bearing his lant ern, while the sun streamed brightly through the richly coloured win dows—lanterns in sun-light, as strange an ana chronism as searching for Guy Faux in the 19th century. The lobby doors of the House of Commons were next thrown open, policemen stood at attention AS we passed, and their stolid features relaxed into ► a smile as they thought, perhaps, of what would I happen if a real Guido Fawkes were met, match in I hand, ready to fire the train. Arrived at the back of Mr. Sreaker's chair, now—like the benches on either side, and the galleries at either end--vacant ' and silent, a small trap door about 21t. square was opened, and down this the cavalcade was to pass. The Hg beef-eaters looked wonderingly, to see how they could screw their long ho-lies and their scarlet and gold trimmings clown this little and (lark open ing. They drew their swords, not, however, for the purpose of offence, but as a precautionary measure to prevent their being tripped up as they descended into the cellars; and by dint of good management this first stage in th e d escen t was ma d e, an d th e pro cession reformed beneath the floor of the House of Commons. Its appearance resembled the maindeck of a man-of-war cleared for action. There was a bulkhead at either end with small doorway openings —there were hatchways carefully covered, and steam pipes, and iron columns supporting the floor above. At the further end a door was opened, and again the searchers came to a hatchway, downwhich they passed to a lower deck. Here is the place where the air is manufactured and purified, and warmed and cooled and moistened for consumption by the legislators above. Along each side of the hall or deck long sails of gauze are stretched to catch the breezes that are wafted into this cave of )Eolus. Lowerdown, and resting on the floor upon each side of the hall, is a row of " batteries." Raise the holland wrappers that keep them all so scrupu lously dean, and it will be seen that each of these batteries is made up of a series of plates of metal arranged as in the cells of an electric battery. Through the centre of these plates there passes an iron pipe charged with steam, the heat from which is radiated from the plates of the batteries, and warms the air that comes down and is filtered through the area of gauze like sails. Thence the air ascends by shafts up to the air chamber, and passes through the pierced iron work of the benches to warm and comfort the hon. members who early and late sit in debate on the welfare of the nation. From this hall we were conducted to a large and lofty vaulted area immediately under the octagon hall, between the House of Lords and Commons. Here a hundred or more of large iron pipes rise I from the ground to the roof—here clustered, like the columns of some gothic cathedral ; there single, as though a large meter or gas main had started up on end ; in other places arranged in groups of a score or more. Some sprang out of horizontal pipes ; some climbed up and rested against the walls ; others stood solitary and alone. The great hall resembled the interior of a gigantic organ—some immense instrument which Vulcan might have forged for a Titan organist—and it would hardly have excited surprise among the cavalcade if they had heard thunder pealing from this gathering of great pipes. Through these, however, there come no sounds of music, save when the hot air of the cold blast rushes through the hollow pipes, and then they gave forth a moaning noise which mingles strangely with the roar that may be heard from the furnaces below; and to these our steps were next directed. At one corner of the great hall there is yet another descent to make, and this conducts to what may be termed the realm of Pluto. Here furnaces glow, and huge fires roar, and the winds howl, and keep up a con stant tornado as they rush towards the glowing fires. We are at the bottom of the great shaft which runs up the centre of the Victoria Tower to a height of nearly 300 feet, and on the hearth or bottom of this huge shaft there is a fire which would roast or grill a score of oxen, and cook more beef and mut ton than all the beef-eaters of her Majesty's Body Guard would eat in 12 months—be they as voraci ous as popular notion supposes them to be. This immense fire causes a constant draught of air in the shaft, into which the foul air from the various parts of the building is conducted, and discharged high in the upper strata of the London atmosphere. The furnaces in which the air is heated are in another part of the gallery. Walking along the galleries which form the entrance to this laboratory of puri fied oxygen, the yeomen shivered with the cold, noble lords buttoned close their overcoats, and hats were firmly held . : to prevent their being blown— where, it is impossible to say. The roar of the rush ing air, the lights that burned dimly along the gal leries, the winds that howled, shaking temporary doors and brattices, the crimson glow of light from the furnace fires reflected on the whitened walls, gave considerable interest to this portion of the search. Glad to escape from this part of the lower Parliamentary regions, the cavalcade next wound its way through another long gallery. Here they saw overhead a huge pair of paddle-wheels, only the paddles were formed of canvas. This was a novelty introduced by that wondrous Dr. Reid. Fans like these were to be turned round rapidly by powerful steam-engines, and bring in the fresh and cast out the foul air. Somehow or other the plan did not answer ; like many other great inventions, it would have succeeded but for some little "if," or some unforeseen " hitch" which baffled all the calcula tions of the sanguine mechanist. The paddle wheels are permitted to swing on their axles ; and Goldsworthy Gurney, who now reigns in the stead of his great predecessor, may look upon them with something of the feelingsof gratification with which the soldier surveys the tattered flags of the enemy that he has won in hard fight. Th e scar l e t and gold of the halberdiers, and the uniform of the marshals, and the gleam of the lanterns, and the remainder of the procession in irregular order, wound their way through this long gallery, until a small ladder leading to a t ra p d oor was sca led. This ascent made, another spacious hall, charged with batteries and hung with gauze sail, and with care fully covered hatches, was entered. This was two stages below the floor of th e H o use of Lords. The temperature here was mild, and an agreeable con trast with the cold and chill of the last the Another ascent was made, and the diligent searchers were conducted by Mr. Fincham to the floor imme diately. below the House of Lords, similar in its deck-like arrangements of bulkheads to the floor beneath the Commons.

RAILWAY COLLISION.—In accident occurred on Friday night, on the Great Western Railway, near Charl bury station. The accident arose from a collision between two luggage trains. The line was blocked up for a consi derable time, and the carriages forming the express train, which should have reached Kidderminster at 10 on Friday night, only passed through that station at a few minutes before 10 on Saturday morning. Two special trains had, however, been put on during the night to lessen as far :is possible the inconvenience of the passengers. [ ADVERTI SEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Rheumatic and Nervous Pains.—The chilly mornings and evenings provoke these tortures in constitutions suscepti ble of such maladies. Nothing affords so much relief as Holloway's ointment well rubbed upon the skin after re peated fomentations. Thousands of testimonials bear wit ness to the wonderful comfort obtained from this safe and simple treatment, which all can adopt. Holloway's oint ment, assisted by a judicious use of his pills, is especially serviceable assuaging the sufferings from cramp and other muscular pains, whether they be acute, chronic, external, or internal. It is earnestly recommended that every suf ferer from these pains should give Holloway's remedies few days' trial, which will fully convince the invalid that a cure will be the reward of continued perwerance. let 00d 'on, ast, was ace, rich urY ose an bes, xe tho los tr . leS os on, ,g 0 )r d sfo.
