THE CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys tem, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu arity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and un prolific frame ; the delicate female, whom an immured and in active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative. Old coughs, a..t.hmas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cure.l.

In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the oi dinary practitioner. To enter into th e details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

THE APERITIVE FOUNTAIN enables persons to preserve a regular action of the bowels. and to procure, at any moment, the desired relief, simply Nitn a little water ; by which they not only escape from the evil s i f costiveness, but avoid the additional sufferings that are brought on by a habitual use of opening medicines. The apparatus is so compact that, with the requisite quantity of liquid, it may be put into the pocket ; and, unlike the annoying lavement machine, needs no preparatory fitting together, nor occasions any embarrassment to the mast infirm or nervous. The SOUND MAG NIFIEHS, for which Dr. SCOTT ( li.ventor of the Aperitive Fountain) received thanks from the British Associa tion, enable deaf persons to hear a distant speaker, and to join in conversation by means of the small and almost invisible CORNETS, without holding anything in the hand. They are made of several powers, so as to supply each individual with the exact degree of assistance required. Persons who are pre. vented from selecting the proper kind, may have it sent, post free, by addressing particula-s of their deafness (containing an order for payment) to Messrs. Pine and Roof, superintendents of Dr. Scott's Repository, 369, Strand, three doors from Exe ter- hal!. THE ‘ 4 FORGET-ME-NOT." (From the Boulogne Gazelle.) A stern-looking matter-of-fact sort of a bookseller, named Regnard, was summoned before the Judge of this Court by one of the most engaging little milliners that could be seen in a day's march—so innocent, so preposessing, so full of sentiment, the spirit of poetry, and the affections of the heart, that she at once en gaged the sympathies of all who were present. She hail summoned the bookseller to restore a book con taining a" Forget-me-not," which was her property. The Judge—M. Regnard, you are summoned here to produce a book belonging to this young person, called " The Pious Hours of Christian Ladies." It?gnard—Oui, Monsieur ; I bought it with a num ber of other books. But it is not a very saleable book. I prefer such books as "le Petite Cursiniere Bour geoise," cr 4.les CEuvres de Piron," which are much more in the spirit of the present age.—(Laughter.) • Regine stated that she had been apprenticed to Madame Duval, a milliner. Unhappily she had lately died, and her grief for her beloved mistress was so great that it made her ill, and she was laid upon a sick bed. In six weeks afterwards she went to the house of the late Madam,: Duval to claim her little effects, when she found that everything had been sold off for the benefit of the creditors. Regnard—Well, that is an affecting story of your's, and reminds me of Paul and Virginia, which, by the bye, is a book which has had a great sole.—( Laughter.) Ttie Judge (to Regine)—Did you than demand the restitution of your property ? Regina—Only of the one book in question, Sir, which I was desirous of having, on account of its being a " souvenir." Regnard—l have brought, Monsieur, a book called " Les Heures pieuses des Dames." It is a good edition, bound in red morocco. Here it is : lam ready to give it up, if Mademoiselle will consent to give me the three francs which it cost me when I purchased it. Rcginc—l am willing to reimburse you for the book, provided you will furnish me with my own copy. That is not my copy ; and it was for restitution of my own book, and not for an ordinary copy of it, that I summoned you. Regnard—How do you know that this is not yours? It is the same edition, has the same binding, and the plates are precisely what you describe. Regine (sorrowfully) —Oh I I know my own poor little book. It always opens in the same place ; and besides, it has been more used than this. The Judge —A book has been delivered to the officer of the Court, M. Itegnard, very like that which you produce. Your wife, it appears, found it in the shop. Look, Mademoiselle, is this your book ? Regine (trembling with joy)-oh, yes, yes, yes, that is mine. How do you distinguish it ? Repne—lt always opens at the same place, at the mass. Look, you will s e e it open . H ereupon R eg i ne took the precious little volume in her hands, which at once, almost of its own accord, opened in the centre, and at the spot indicated, disclosing to view a little dried specimen of the myosotis, or " Forget-me•not." Judge—Did you place the flower there ? Rcgine—Oh, Monsieur, if I had placed it there, think you that I should have set such a value upon the hook? Oh no ; it was placed there by my dear mother, only two short weeks before she descended to the silent grave ; and I have so often wept upon that page when praying for her repose, that the book always opens in the cnc place. All present were much moved by the unaffected simplicity and affection of the poor girl ; and in deed the bookseller himself had allowed his feel ings to be so much wrought upon, that he refused to receive the three francs which he had paid for the book. " Take it," said be, handing her the vo lume, " take it, and keep your money. When you are married, give it to your children ; and, to set them an example of virtue and affection, you will only have to point to that flower and say, Ne m'oubliez pas.'" SPORTING IN TELLIG ENCE.

The removal of the cola of the Emperor Napoleon from the dome of the Invalides into the side chapel or Saint Jerome, was effected on Saturday, in the presence of Marshal Moncey, the Governor of the Invalides ; General Petit, the Commandant of the Staff of the Hotel ; the division of officers, and the thirteen divi sions of the pensioners. Gen. Gourgaud, M. Las Cases, jun., M. Marchand, and some few of the other members of the Commission sent to Sc. Helena, were the only persons, besides those connected with the Hospital, who were admitted. A mass was performed by the Cure of the Invalides and his clergy. Marshal Moncey, although so infirm as to require being supported by both arms, remained till the end of the ceremony. The pall was borne by four superior officers of the Invalides. After the mass the coffin, decorated as it was on the 13th of Decem ber, and surmounted towards the head by the Imperial Crown, and having on the foot the sword and hat, was placed, by means of an inclined plane of woodwork, in the chapel. This frame was taken down and carried away with great expedition, and the coffin was at once to be seen in the position in which it will remain until its final tomb is ready to receive it. The Marshal and the other persons in attendance were then admitted into the chapel, where a " Dc Profundis" was chanted by the clergy, accompanied by the band of the Hotel. Holy water was again sprinkled on the collie, and all re tired in deep silence. The chapel, which, as we have already stated, is ornamented i❑ a magnificent but chaste style, is worthy its temporary destination. It is hung with violet-coloured velvet, relieved with gold, between columns with gilt capitals, and the frieze is draped i❑ like manner, enriched with a deep gold fringe ; the pavement is covered with a carpet of the same colour. At the end of the chapel, facing the entrance, is the coffin, covered with its imperial pall, and raised upon an estrade six fe t high, likewise covered with violet velvet. Behind is a trophy, composed of forty-eight standards taken from the enemy, before which appears an imperial eagle in gold. Between the wall and the trophy is a large silver cross, wrought on black velvet. In the four inter columniations are antique trophies formed of arms and palm branches, with shields in the centres, on which are inscribed the four celebrated names of Marengo, Atte terhtz, \V*gram, and Jena. A guard of honour, com posed of Invalides who have been decorated, will con stantly watch over the chapel. Ti,e King has conferred the decoration of the Legion of Honour on M. Marchand, formerly valet to Napo leon, and who accompanied the expedition for bringing back the body. A PROTESTANT BISHOP FOR MALTA.—We have much pleasure in announcing to the Protestants in the Mediterranean that it has been determined to proceed without further delay with the plan proposed in the Bishop of London's Letter to the Archbishop of Can_ terbury for providing a fund for the endowment o f bisliopris in the British colonies and fo l re ,o ig o n o . l po , sa t es h - e Soci G et o y s_p f e o i r . sions.

" The per centage of the locomotive and other charges, as compared with the receipts, is, in every case, less ; and the gross charge on the traffic (including the mileage duty to Government and parish rates) will be found in the last half-year to be as 30/. ss. 7d. per cent, to the cross re ceipt, instead of 341. 165. per cent., which it was in the preceding half-year. " Deductin,g from the net profit of 186,689/. I ls. the sum of 20,8221. 14s. Ild., which was taken from the reserved fund, pursuant to the resolution of the last gene ral meeting, there remains a disposable balance of 165,8661. 165. 91., on which the Directors recommend that a divi dend be declared of 41. per 100/. share ; 11. per 251. shave ; and 195. 21. 2-sths on 241 ; called before the 31st of December, and paid on each 321. share ; leaving a sum a lo 4661. 16e. 9d. to be carried to the credit - of nexraccounte " In referring to the progressively-increasing traffic of the railway, as evinced by the half-yearly Repotts, the Directors may. bo allowed to notice the gratifying fact, that out of 1,483,123 passengers, conveyed on an overage sixty-Eve miles and a quarter each from the 17ta'of Sep tember, 1833, to the 31st of December last, according to the Stamp-office returns, not one accident attended wits► lass of lafe or limb to a passenger has occurred, although during the whole of this period the works were under going those extensive repairs which are inseparable from great excavations and embankments, and requiring the frequent passage alone the line of trains heavily laden with materials. If, thou, under these circumstances of disadvantage, the Directors arc enabled to exhibit results which in the infancy of the undertaking could only have been attained by regulations well considered, and, with few exceptions, carefully observed, it must be admitted that railways afford ample assurance for the safety of tra velling, and that the London and Birmingham •line pos sesses resources adequate to any ex tent of traffic. . _ " The Directors, having carried the proceedings of the Harrow inquest before a higher tribunal, purposely ab stain from any comment on the extraordinary verdict of the Jory. " Reverting to the statements of accounts which are be fire the meeting, the Directors have to rematk that the expenditure on the stock or capital account (C) has been, with few exceptions, for the objects to which they called attention in their laa Repoi t, namely, extensions of stations, and the additions to the Company's carrying stock, which an increasing traffic requires. " The recommendation of the Directors to create new shares, under the powers of the Company's Acts, for the redemption of the mortgage debt of 1,375,0001., having been acceded to by the Proprietors individually, a resolu tion of approval by the present meeting will be required to give effect to th 4 measure. " The Directors have to 'announce the resignation of Mr. Edward Wilson, and their election of Mr. Christopher Hird Jones to supply his place. They have also to report the limented death of one of the original Directors of the Company, John Sturge, Esq , and that they do not p7o pose to fill up the vacancy. " The followin g Directors go out of fi ffi ce at t h e pre sent meeting. and arc re-eligible :—E lward Cropper, Esq , Robert Garnet, Esq., George Clrr Glyn, David Hodgson, Esq., Tnoinas Tooke., Esq., and Joseph Walker, Esq. A resolu ion was then passed, declaring a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum out of the profit 3 of the undertaking. Another — resolut;on was passed, authorising the conver sion of the mortliate debts of the Company into new sh:res of 32/. each. A discussion of considerable interest, arising out of !ha following circumstances, then ensued :__The principal workshops of the Company for the repairs of engior a, &e., have been erected at \Volverton, a station about midway between the two termini of the railway. So ex tensive is the establishment at that place that a consider. able pillage, composed of the men in the Company's ser vice and their families, has sprung up where formerly there was act a single habitation. The Coinpaey has erected - hour-es fur the men, and allotted gardens to them, awl seine time since voted a grant of money for the erection of schools for the infant and adult population, but still there was no means of supplying them v: ith religious instruction. The truetece of the Ratcliffe estate, through which this part of the railway is made, thereupon offered to build and endow a church, and to provide a fund for future repairs, if the Railway Company would contribute 1,0001 tawards this desirable object. Accordingly, at the last meeting a propesal that such contribution be made was brought forward by a gentleman named Jones, who, it is teorthy of notice, is himself a Dissenter, and was car ried with but one dissentient voice. In the interim be tween that meeting and the present some twenty-eight or thirty of the Proprietors, almost all of whom are members of the Society of Friends, objected to the grant, and me morialized the Directors on the subject. They also took the opinion of the Attorney. General upon the legality of any such grant when made by a Railway Company, which opinion was against the grant. The matter now came on for eiiicusE-Ln. The Quakers contended that, however de sirous they might be of promoting the moral and religious instruction of the Company's servants, it was not right that they should be compelled to contribute to the sup port of the Church of England, frosu which they con scientiously d ffered. They proposed, therefcre, that the resolution of the previous meeting should be rescinded, and that the amount required should be raised by volun tary subscription. To this it was moved as an amendment that tlaeir proportion of the 1,0001. (about 4A. per share) should be returned to all who dissented from its appropria tion to the purpose proposed, and after a very long discus sion, which was conducted on both sides with much good feeling, a vote was taken, when there appeared for the amendment 25, against it 17, thus confirming by a majority of eight the original grant of 1,000/. subject to any deduction which may be made in respect of the dissen tients' shares, As, however, it was understood throughout that it was not the amount of money but the principle in volved, which formed the subject of dispute, it is not likely that the grant will be seriously diminished from this cause, but, if so, it was understood that the full amount would be nude up by voluntary subscriptions on the part of the proprietors. The Directors named in the concluding paragraph of the report having been re-elected and other business trans acted, a special vote of thanks to the chairman and Direc tors for their able and arduous exertions on behalf of the Company, was carried by acclamation, and the meeting separat.A. THE RAILWAYS. Sir Frederick Smith has been actively engaged since the new year in inspecting the western lines projected into Scotland. When the inspection is completed, he will then have before him the whole four lines, the merits of each of which are strongly advocated by their respective supporters :-1. The cast line, from Edin burgh, by Dunbar and Berwick, to Newcastle, which its supporters hold as the best line between the two capitals---I,ondon and Edinburgh. 2. The east mid land line, front Edinburgh, by Galashiels, through Rex burghs:tire and the North Tyne. joining the Nev.-castle and Carlisle Rtilway at Ilcxhain, about forty miles from Carlisle This is held out as giving Edinburgh the advantage of communication both i to eLorionc Car. r y N_weastle, and to LiyerpOol and f : " li n nc C le a s r t li r sle ?;yt Bee line. 3.

The line to Edinburgh fruit Symington, runntig on the north of the Pentland range, is con , idered a much easier line, and through a much more productive district, than the one previously surveyed to Edinburgh by Linfon, on the south of the Pentlands ; but the point of divergence, we believe, eNntnauds bolt sid es o f t h at range, as well"' as both sides of the Clyde. Sir Frederick, we have also reason to under stand, was satisfied with the field plans submitted to hint by the gentlemen harvested in the eaqern line, and was surprised, after the long period elapsing since his appoint rnent, that n e i t h er o f t h e Nitlisdaie nor the Annandale and Clyd es d a l e li nes h a d b een su fficiently mapped or de lineated, and this ci r cumstance may, perhaps,account for Paper . the rumoured Leisinn in favour of the cast line. — Bersc ick BANKS OF issuE.—Committee on Banks of Issue re-.ippointed :—Mr. Chancellor of thelExellenuer, Sir R:,bert Peel, Mr. flume, Mr. Labouehere, Mr. Goul r.Gsrottreu,tt, burn, Mr. Mark PL,illips, Mr. O'Connell, Sir James Gra m, Charles Wood, Mr. Rickford, Mr. Warbur ton, Mr. Clay, Mr. Gisborne, Sir J ,ho Rae Reid, Mr. t ° 0 ,..,7 8 A 1 .i 1 r ; Paulson, Mr. IL:rrics, Nlr.
