ACCOUNT IN7O T H F LRIFE From the CITY of LINCOLN. "TO THE PROPRIETORS OF PARR'S LIFE PILLS. " August 27, 1841. " GENTLEMEN,--Were Ito enumerate all the Cures and Lenefits obtained by taking this famous remedy which are o!- fered to me, it would require a book as large as a Church Bible to write them in ! Not a day passes but some one comes to acknowledge the blessings of a Cure,—some being made free in their limbs from pain and rheumatism, some cured of sick headache of long standing, some from violent bilious attacks, others cured of the ague, of swelled legs, and sore b-gs, of pal pitation of the heart, and, wonderful to relate ! old men and women say, since they took Old Parr's Pills, they have e njoyed better health, better spirits, better appetite, had mere nerve and strength than they had experienced for the past twenty years, and that Old Parr is like new life to them, for they feel all those delightful changes in the system. In fact, these won derful Pills appear to contain all the virtues of the 'pothecary's shop, without having to go through all the regular doses of draughts and boluses. "My sale, instead of decreasing, increases. Since last Au gust, when I received the first supply of Parr's Life Pills (with the four gross you may now send me by first conveyance), I have had 2,076 boxes at Is. lid., and 264 of the 2s. Pd. size. Some people may not believe this : you can, if you like, show the entry, and the cash paid for them. I am, your obedient servant, " JAMES DRURY, " The old-established Patent Medicine Warehouse, 224, Stone Bow, Lincoln." This must convince every reasonable person of their wonder ful efficacy • cases of the most severe and unparalleled descrip tion have been cured by their use; and although powerful in cenqnering disease, they are yet as pure and harmless as new milk, and may be administered with confidence to the invalid, however weakly from long ill-health, who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health, viz., good appetite, sound sleep, and an increase of animal spirits. To have produced a medicine so benign and mild in its operation and effects, and yet so effectual in searching out and curing dis ease, of however long standing, exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research, and a thorough knowledge of his subject. Those who have been the instruments of restoring this long lost secret to the world, feel confident, when they'make the assertion—that none need despair, that if only a fair trial be given, the result will be a restoration to health and happiness. " Thus shall their humble labours merit praise, And future Parrs be blessed with honour'd days." CAUTION.—BEWARE OF gPURIOUS IMITATIONS. In order to protect the Public, the Hon. Commissioners of Stamps have ordered " Parr's Life Pills" to be engraved on the Government Stamp attached to each box, without which none are genuine. Price Is. 11. d, 2s.

To Mr. PROUF, `2.:9, Strand, London. SIR, Maidstone, No 2 , Whee l e r-street, Jul y g, 1841!. I am most happy to intern you that the BLAIR'S PILLS, which f had from you, has c been of the greatest service to me. When I re_ sewed th e fi rs t box, I was labouring under one of those attacks to which I had been subject for eleven years. My legs and thighs w a ere most grievously tormente d, every nerve and muscle beating nd throbb ing as thou k h they would tear themselves through the flesh, thus preventing my having any test or sleep. The agony which I experienced in this instance, night and day, for six weeks, is not in my power t o describe. This was my miserable state when the first box of Blair's pills arrived ; but after taking four pills the pain de creased, and the second day, by taking six pals more, the p ain suh. sided altogether, in Heaven.ther,sotliat I;feelitn, Being I may mak e the cont p arison, as hough I was subject to this affliction by the change of weather, I now fly to the pills, and always find relief. You are at liberty to publish this case of mine for the benefit of the public. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, MARY ANN CHAMBERS. Tht, l The afflicted heatium w sm ith those tormenting di s eases, Gout, Rheumatic ocli , Lumbago, Scir.tica, Pains in the Head and Face, often mistaken for the Tooth-ache, Tic-Doloreux, &c., will find from the useof this medicine,that speedy relief for which it is so justly celebrated.

Mr. Macready loses no time in evincing the earnest ness with which he intends prosectiti ii e. his plan of putting the l eg iti mate d rama once more prosecuting upon its trial ; or rather of putting the public taste ()nee more upon its trial, and ascertaining whether it be really such as to enable the legitimate drama to take permanent pos session of the stage as regards at least one of our national theatres. The experiment cannot prove unsuc cessful without involving a reproach to London to which no other capital of Europe is subject; for it is well known that in all others one theatre is uniformly consecrated to the higher order of dramatic representation. The pro duction of The Two Gentlemen of Verona last night may be accepted as an intimation that Mr. Macready does not intend timidly to confine himself to the beaten track, but among the rest to bring forward dramas which, from the comparative infrequency of their appearance, may almost be designated novelties. It has been much the fashion to undeirate this play, and some critics have even gone the length of throwing doubts upon its authorship. But though a play of bitakspeare may be acknowledged in ferior to the generality of his writings, it may yet far surpass what any other author could have produced. As Johnson observez—" If it be taken from Shakspeart, to whom shall it be given? It will be found more credible that he should sometimes sink below his highest flights, than that any other should rise up to his lowest." This play may not present the high-wrought energy or deep development of passion which distinguishes those more popularly knows ; but it is unsurpassed in the beauty of its sentiments and the romantic interest of its situa, tions. The poetic fire of its language is also eminently Shakspearian. Who could doubt the writer of theso lines " I inn as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold." It has been got up with great care and judgment, as well as with due liberality, in all that regards the acces sories of scenery and costume; and, which is still more important, the performers entered fully into the spirit o£ their characters, and exerted themselves, for the most part, very successfully, to do the utmost justice to them. Macready's part of Valentine is not the most prominent, nor the one affording most opportunities for display, but he went through it gracefully, and with the sound dis cretion habitual to him. The scene in which his attempt to carry off the Duke's daughter is discovered was a highly effective *me. The character of Proteus was taken by Anderson, who has not yet learnt to refide himself, so much as might be desired, into a true expression of the tender passion. his style, however, is visibly improving in this respect, and he can be more subdued on occasion than heretofore. We have great pleasure in noticing the judicious and excellent performance of Miss Fortescue as Julia. It is a character to which proper effect cannot be given without true natural feeling and good taste, and these qualities she possesses in an eminent degree, combined with perfect elegance of inahuer, whether vivacity or pathos is to be depicted. Notiknig could be more prettily played than her examination of the fragments of Proteus s letter, which, in the first im pulse, or perhaps to save appearances, she tears to pieces. In the subsequent scenes, when in male attire, with Silvia, and with Proteus after the discovery of his faithlessness, her acting was never over-strained, but was touching and full of sensibility. The answer to Silvia, who inquires whether Julia were not " passing fair," was given'with captivating naieette " She bath been fairer, Madam, than she is ; When she did think my master loved her well, She, in my judgment, was as fair as you. But since she did neglect her looking-glass, And threw livr sun• expelling mask away, The air hath starved the roses in her cheeks And pinched the lily-tincture of her face, That now she is become as black as I." The audience showed their appreciation of Miss Fortes cue's very efficient performance by calling her forward to receive their applause anew after the fall of the curtain. Miss Ellis, us Sylvia, performed her part satisfactorily. Keeley appeared as Launce, and gave admirable comic effect to the " exquisite fooling" of the part ; nor should his canine companion be forgotten, whose propriety of demeanour was highly laudable ; he was, moreover, handsome Specimen of his tibe. There was a pretty serenade sung in the third act. Among the scenery, a street in Verona ought to be particularly noticed, being both well arranged and finely painted, aff or di ng an accurate idea of the beautiful Palladio style of edifice. Macready was summoned on the conclusion of the per formance, and was warmly greeted, not less on account of his spirited management than his effective acting. The pantomime followed, and promises to continue hi favour for the full term usually allotted to these entertainments. LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1841, WEST INDIAN MAILS.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OF FICE, 1, KING WILLIAM-STREET, LONDON. The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations cf the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fitths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per Cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. Thu second division of profits was in May, 1841 when a similar reduction was again declared.

SUMS ASSURRED RECEIVABLE AT 50, 55, 60, or 65. —This great improvement, by which a person may realize the benefit during his awn lifetime, was first introduced by this Society some years ago.

Lennox Boyd, Esq., As-I John Ritchie, Esq, sistant Resident This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life one half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy, the other half may remaine subject to the payment of interest at,s per cent, annually, to be deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquirz., a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,000/., sub ject only to the deduction of 144/. Is. 3d., being the amount of premium unpaid. On the Ist of July, the Board of Directors added 2 per Cent. per Annum as a Bonus to those assured upon the participating plan from the dates of their policies, thus appropriating 20/. a-year as an addition to every policy for 1,0001.

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to whfch this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by this family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the core ect treatment of sexual infirmities. " If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical experience."—Planet. " The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secresy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording . a remedy. It shows how "Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wring causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Messenger. "Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for publio study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study. The terse of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must .prove a warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi dently the production of a mind long and practically conver sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization. "—Magnet The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret tear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations. This essay is most particularly ad dressed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the cosnrnen stamp. Thu scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impren us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it t..cats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cair,v , and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coining from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex • trumely reluctant to take up another. 'Having, however, been induced by the char ac t er g i ven o f t hi s wor k by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • ti , ba in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly corrv.incing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to jedi_ cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for moral a bodu cingook so use —Conservativa, Journal. ful, so much wanted, so valuable, and s o t ru l y . We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of a ll c l asses. The moral as vvel las physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.

CHRISTMAS FOLLIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-A most disgraceful hoax has, within the last few days, been played off upon a highly respectable young lady, residing in York-place, City-road. On Christmas-day she was surprised at receiving about eighteen notes, accepting an invitation to an evening party, to be given by her on tile Monday following ; and upon inquiry, found that cards had been issued in her name by some unknown person. On Monday evening a young man called at the shops of several tradesmen residing in the vicinity of Hoxton and Finsbury, and ordered various articles to be sent to the above-named house in the evening. Accordingly, at seven o'clock the door was literally besieged with a posse of persons, with innumerable articles in hand, carts, trays, &c.; and it was with considerable difficulty they were induced to believe that they had been duped. At nine o'clock a quadrille band arrived; and at ten a re-in foreemeut of green grocery, porter, spirits, mince-pies, tripe, sausages, oysters, jellies, &c., were announced, and of course refused admission, to the great discomfiture of the parties who had been thus entrapped. Such proceedings may be sport to the weak-minded persons who can be amused by them; but they are, in my opinion, scandalous in the extreme; and it is to be hoped that, if the parties can be traced, they will meet with their deserts. By inserting the above in your widely-circulated paper you may perhaps be the means of putting tradesmen on their guard, and will greatly oblige, Sir, yours most obe diently, C. W. HARRIS. York-place, City-road, Dec. 28, 1841. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. cut the inclosed out of a country paper about a month since, and, as a lawyer, feeling the immense importance of the advice it conveys, I forward it to you as a hint for a conspicuous paragraph, or what you please on the subject. Murders, threats of assassination, &c. &c. &c., in criminal proceedings, and clues to pro perty and persons, &c. &c. &c., have at times been owing to post marks externally, and to means of identification internally, existing on or in correspondence, aid written documents. Ex cuse the trouble I give you, and believe me, Sir, your obedient servant, PRECISION. Temple, Dec. 25, 1841. " Letter envelopes are liable to one serious objection, as at present generally employed. In the event of the en velope being either separated from the letter, or by acci dent lost, it would, in the first place, be difficult to PROVE that the letter which the envelope enclosed was actually addressed by the writer to the recipient ; and in the second impossible. This remark applies of course to those instances only where the name and address of the recipient arc not written at the foot of the letter itself, as well us upon the superscription. But the practice of not writing these on the latter is almost universal; the hint contained in this paragraph is therefore not un called for. The elegant medium of the envelope may still be used, but the letter itself should be a complete document—lT SHOULD CONTAIN THE MEANS OF ITS OWN IDENTIFICATION." WESTMINSTER ABBEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—Haring bad my attention called to a paragraph speaking of Westminster Abbey, in your widely circu lated paper of the 21st of the present month, and given as an extract from an American publication, styled the New York Evangelist, I beg, for the information of your numerous readers, to give it the most entire and unqualified contradiction, and I can have no hesitation in asserting, that either the whole is a wilful mis-state ment, or, that the writer has been most grossly imposed upon by the party who may have contributed to the Evangelical publication. Trusting to the insertion of this letter, with an assu rance of my willingness to prove to you, on your ♦isiting the Abbey at your pleasure, the truth of my contradic tion of these " American Facts"—l am, your most obe dient servant, FOSTER OWEN, Chief Superintendant of the Abbey, and High Constable of Westminster. Chester -terrace, Eaton-square, Dec. 29, 1841. P.S.—The Abbey is open at this season six days per week for the admission of visitors, from the close of se cond Morning Service (about a quarter before eleven) until half-past two, p.m., the Afternoon Service com mencing at three, and the fee for viewing the Chapels, Tombs, &c., is 6d. each person, or 3d. whec the Nave and Transepts only are seen, Poet's Corner being always free when the Church is open.—F. 0.

PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS. —It must be exceed ingly gratifying to those who exert themselves to im prove the morals of the working classes to know that the number of persons, chiefly mechanics, who visited the public institutions on Monday (boxing-day), which is far exceeded that of any former similar a holiday, s i m il ar period. the National Gallery on that day was visited by 15,000 persons, the British Museum by up wards of 14,000. The Adelaide Gallery, and the Poly technic Institution had their share—the former near 9 , 00 0. Greenwich Hospital was visited by an immense number, as was also the Royal Arsenal and Rotunda at Woolwich. Such a thirst for intellectual and rational amusement was nut before known to exist to such an ex tent amongst the working classes, particularly on the oc casion of a universal holiday ; indeed, in many populous neighbourhoods, the gin shops were nearly deserted, and the Police state that there were no more cases of drunken ness in the street on Monday evening than on ordinary occasions. HAYMARKET THEATREI Mr. Stuart, from the Theatre Royal, Liverpool, made a very successful debut at this theatre last evening, in that most arduous part, hgrO. (W e know not in the whole range of the drama any character more difficult of per sonation than this. In the very commencement of the play Shakspeare gives an inkling of the difficulties neces sary. to he overcome by the aspirant, by putting into the mouth of lago himself words which serve as a key to the whole character— " When I am what I seem, It shall nut be long after I will wear My heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at. I am not what I seem." To say, therefore, that any actor has made a success ful debut in a character requiring such careful study to comprehend, and such varied powers to embody the fruits of that study, as does the character of lago, is at once to assign him a high place in his profession, and a high place unquestionably Mr. Stuart has a right to claiM as his own. Nature has done touch fur him ; his voice is powerful and sonorous, not unlike in quality the voice of Macready ; his features flexible and expressive, his eye good, and his person well formed. He is evi dently a gentleman and a scholar, and his provincial practice has made him thoroughly acquainted with the business of the stage. His opening scenes with iluderigo were very good, and the passage which we have quoted above was exceedingly well given. The sneer with Which he gave the celebrated line in the second act— "To suckle fools, and chronicle small beer," was quite Mephistophelian, aad was deservedly applauded. In the jealousy scene, he seemed to be at times suffering from nervousness ; as he warmed in the scene, however, he became himself again, and gave the words, "Oh ! what damned tortures tells he o'er Who doubts, yet fears, suspects, yet strongly loves," with a quiet beauty which elicited loud applause, and'at once seemed to restore to him his full seli-possession. In the short scene with Desdemona, in the fourth act, his compassionating manlier of giving the line, " Be sure, my lord is very angry," was the very perfection of hypocrisy. In the fifth act he was admirable. The sneer of fiendlike triumph with which he contemplated his hellish work, and the glance of contemptuous malice, revelling in the luxury of revenge, with which he regarded Othello, as-he makes his final exit, were perfect. Mr. Stuart brough;tp with him a high reputation from the provinces, and he has proved himself well worthy of it. Let him depehd solely on himself—let flint trust solely to th e promptings of his own genius, and he eantiot fail to achieve for himself fame and fortune. lie was called for at the fall of the curtain and loudly ap plauded. Wallack was the Othello, and t o say that he is the best Othello now on the stage is barely doing justice to the merits of one of the most beautiful pieces of act ing we have ever witnessed. It is faultless. Its very perfection as a whole renders it impossible to criticise it in detail. A more perfect piece of acting the stage does not possess. Wallack was also called for at the conclu sion of the piece, and led forward Miss Helen Fella, who was a very pathetic, t en d er, and graceful Desde mona. The new spectacle followed, to the great enter tainment of the juvenile Portion of the audience: THE LATE ACCIDENT AT MAN- EC. E2BSITEIIRe sufferer s . by C H towards convalescence titan their MANCHEST ER , Dthe re cent disastrou s acc id ent are more favoura bly p rocee din g previous ?rapt oms would have led the medical attendants to expect. Et eept the young man, Patrick Radical, there is every hope that the whole of t h em will SOW be enabled to leave the Infirmary. He still lies in a most precariotos state, and lacera tions inflictedhis recovery• ii s quite uncertain. The head and almost every part of his b o dy were most severe, and it is greatly feared that, should he be restored at all to health, he will never again b e enabled to res ume his usual occu p ation. There are various unfounded rumours still accredited, o ther workmen are beneath the ruins ; but that many • impossible, since every one of t h ose employed either by Mr. Rose or Mr. Panting, who were n ut either killed or wounded, and ar e now lying at the Infirmary, have been to their respective masters for their wages. Yesterday an i n quest was held at the Infirmary, before Mr. Rutter, the borough Coroner , on the bodies of the seven this a anrs q men whose names were given in the account of the accident. Of these it will be recollected, that Dor een, Roach, and Donelly were single men, whilst Gar land, Tully, Machin, and Selkirk were all married, and have left large families to lament their untini t h de cease. There now appears but one prevailing opinion, that the calamitous event was the result of mere acci dent, and that no blame or want of precaution can be attached to any or the parties connected with the re. moval of the coins. This appeared from the evidence of various witnesses ; after which the Coroner said' he thought it would be unnecessary to call any additional evidence before the Jury, as the facts before them were sufficient to enable them to form an opinion as to the cause of this deplorable transaction. They would direct their attention to the question whether or not any blame or want of caution could be attached to th e parties who were entrusted with the management of the build ing. The Jury consulted for a few moments and una nimously returned a verdict in each case of .4 Acci dental Death," adding that no blame was to be attri buted to any of the parties connected with the removal of the ruins. THE DISTRESSED PRINTERS OF LONDON. —Last Wednesday a sermon was preached in the church of St. Michael-le-Belfrey, in this city, by the Rev. Thos. Myers, on behalf of the numerous letter-press printers in London at present out of employment. The subject of the discourse was " The Religious Influence of Fruit ing." Prayers were read 6y the Rev. Mr. Richardson, and Dr. Camidge presided at the organ. The gentlemen composing the Cathedral choir also kindly afforded their services on the occasion, and very efficiently sung the . anthem, "Blessed is he that cnnsidereth the poor and needy," being part of the 41st Psalm. After the sermon' a collection was made, which amounted to nearly 61— York courant. 17 6 25 0 0
