" GENTLEMEN,—Were I to enumerate all the Cures and itlenefits obtained by taking this famous remedy which are oC 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 she blessings of a Cure,—some being made file in their limbs from pi,in and rheumw ism, s,,me cured of skk headache of long standing, some from violent bilious attacks, others cured of the ague, of swelled legs, and sore I-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 enjoyed better health, better spirits, better appetite, had more 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 r;gular doses of draughts arid 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 l s. lid. , and 264 of the 2s. 9d. size. Some people may not believe this: you can, if you like, sin,w 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 ►n conquering 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 SPURIOUS 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.

" The various forms of bodily and mental weaknets, 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 which 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 the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study o f a lif e entirely abstracted from th 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 con 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 wrong 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 .public 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 tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well-written, harrowin g , yet corre c t di sp l ays of the suffer i ng c onsequent 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 erganization."—Magnet The security of Happiness in the Marriage St a t e i s the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.3, 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 common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many df 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 impress 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 treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex • tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • thin 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, sueli as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing 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 judi 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 th a t soc i e ty i s d eep l y i n d e b te d to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as wel 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 as their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. At this festive season we cannot expect much business, even in the turf market.

THE CHESTER CUP.-100 to 5 was repeatedly offered on the field ; Prince Caradoc v..ould have been backed at five points more, and that price was asked for on the field ; the name of the horse did not transpire ; 500 to 15 was offered against Morning Star, and the same figure against Satirist.

(From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER.—AIthough this is a period of the year at which any great degree of activity is hardly to be ex pect ed, there have been within the last two or three days, and more particularly during yesterday, soma symp toms of improvement in our yarn market ; and a trifling advance over the very low prices paid about ten days ago, has been pretty generally obtained upon numbers and qualities of yarn suitable to the present demand. Many of the purchasers also have shown a strong inclination to make contracts for future de livery, which is a favourable symptom as to the condi tion of the market. In goods, however, there is not much improvement ; and the extremely low prices which have ruled for some weeks past remain without change. Still there is a rather better feeling in the market ; and, as is indeed usual at this period of the year, a more decided improvement in the course of a month or two is confidently looked for. During the two last years, this expectation was defeated by the unfavourable position of the Bank of England, and the consequent pressure upon the money market. There is some reason to hope, that this year the same cause will not be in operation, as the Bank is now understood to be in a comparatively easy and secure position—her stock of coin and bullion at the present moment amounting to somewhere about five millions and a half, with every appearance of a progressive increase. We hope these favourable anticipations may be realized; and that the slight improvement of yesterday may prove the commencement of a steady and permanent amelioration of the present depressed condition of our manufacturers. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 27. —The business to-day has been very limited, as is usually the case on those Mondays that fall between Christmas-day and the new market, which is always held on the first Monday after the Gth of January. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, DEC. 28.—Were it not a weekly custom, it would be unnecessary to report the last market day in the year, which was (as it always was) in point of amount of commercial ,transactions approaching to a blank. However, it is satisfactory to notice, that there was a trace of bright feeling arising from the impression that a new year will witness some eommercial relief. The Right Hon. Sir Thomas Fremantle has left the Duke of Buckingham's for Fawsley Park, the seat of Sir Charles Knigbtley, in Northamptonshire. The Earl of Wiltshire has also left London for Fawsley. Park. DISTRESSING SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, about half-past five, a young man about 21 years of age, of the name of William Michaux, a pearl worker, who resided with his father in Berwick-street, Soho, committed self-destruction. It appears that the young man had been °fit all night drinking, and that he called upon his uncle, who resided in high-street, Lambeth, and mentioned tti him that he had disposed of a valuable packet of pearls which his father had had to work for a customer, and that he did not know what to do, but he was determined never to show his face at home again. His uncle expostulated with him, and promised to accom pany' him home, and broach the subject of the loss to his father; for which purpose they were walking arm-in-arm together under the walls of the Archbishop of Canter bery's Palace, when Michaux suddenly darted forward and precipitated himself into the water, and was drowned. We are requested to state, that that fashionable periodical, " Blackwood's Lady's Magazine," is about to be published for the new year, with additional charms, and considerably enlarged ; and, as this is the season when the public are seeking for the best and cheapest monthly works, The proprietors of the "Lady's Black wood's Magazine of Fashion and Literature" are deter mined to take the lead, and publish a work whose pages will be replete with vigour and taste, calculated to enrich the female mind, and to blend treasures of information with amusement.

MRS. GORE'S NEW NOVEL « THB MAN OF FORTUNE."—Mrs. Gore's reputation established as one of t h e cleverest h as been long oevieer imaginative writers , of the day. Her k now l edge ofs t 3 erhap been ore esPeei all Y of the.' World o f Fashion " has n ex ceeded by any nove li st. Like c all the r' -m res t of her s admirable productions, " Th e M an of Fortune " has been eagerly looked for by the novel reading world, and in its perusal no one we venture to say , will be disap pointed of the amusement expected to be derived from its pages. Of all the various stories we have had the gratification of perusing from Mrs. Gore's p en, we have hardly met with one so thoroughly pleasing- and inter esting as " T he M an o f Fortune "—a circumstance arising probably from the entirely original manner in which she has treated her subject—pourtraying with singular ability and humour, the struggles of a young man entering upon life with almost unbounded wealth to snake himself a star i n the , West exclusively by the influ ence of his fortun e. The present tale must undoubtedly rank as one of M rs. Gore's best fictions.

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 acquire, 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 3,0001., 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 1,000/.

This Company holds ont, in various other respects, great inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.

It is a somewhat remarkable coincidence that the great atehetrier bill fraud of ISO 3, and the one which has lateiy engaged public attention should have involved amounts that may be said to be identical with each other. The total, in Smith's case, so far as it has dividend been asee,tained, would app ear to b e 316,0 0 0 1 . A t the dßnandk subsequentlymei ,heldtofotrhethe trial purpose b o e f r t Astlett, o declaring a f the Cashier's Office, it became necessary for the Chair man of the Court of Directors to state the loss the Company bad sustained by that person. The actual loss, he said, was 320,0001., or thereabouts. Some 78,000/., he added, had been employed in sources from which the Directors thought they should he able to recover, and they were determined to prosecute for the purpose. In the meanwhile so prosperous was the condition of the Bank, that no alteration was male in the dividends. The property em bezzled amounted to nearly the sum payable for the half year, but it v:,14 considered that the Board was in no way answerable for the mal-practices of Astlett. Ile succeeded in making away with the efineetA of the corporation by interlining sums, and other artful con trivances, a very detailed explanation of which was afforded. 'We shall give an outline of the trial, from which it will be seen that the Bank was denied the prompt and full satisfaction at the hands of public jus tice which the case seemed to cell for. Astlett was, in the first instance, acquitted, on the ground that there was some irregul irity in the signature of the Exche quer bills abstracted, a point that it may be as well to keep in view, the more particularly as, in the report of the proceedings, we do not find that a syllable was urged on the score of stampings or sta tionery. Astlett was put to the bar of the Old Bailey, on the indictment that he, a servant employed by the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, was entrusted with a certain paper writing, called an Ex chequer bill, of the value of 1,0001., another of the same value, and a third of the same value ; and that on the 26th of February, he being such servant, &c., did felo.. niously secrete and embezzle the said Exchequer bills, and did run away with them so belonging to the said Governor and Company. There were no less than ten different counts to the same effect. Mr. Garrow was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Erskine for the prisoner. The former stated that the Bank being in the customary habit of purcha sing Exchequer bills on account of Govern ment, such bills were either brought to the Bank by one particular house or by the Bank broker, who purchased the bills in the market. On the delivery of these to the cashier, Mr. Astlett, he gave an order for payment, and the Exchequer bills remained with him till a sufficient quantity was collected, and made up into bundles to deliver into the custody of the Directors in the parlour. These bundles were then counted, and a voucher given to the cashier on their delivery. They were placed in a strong closet, shut under three keys, and two of the keys were kept by the Directors. Conformably to this practice, on February 26, 1803,, these were transferred from the custody of Mr. Astlett, the cashier, to the parlour, one bundle to the value of 100,000/., another to that of 200,0001., and a third to that of 400,0001. Au entry was made in the parlour book, and its correctness vouched by the signature of two Directors. The entry thus vouched was, neverthe less, afterwards found to be for bills to the amount of 200,0001. more than the actunl value of the bundles. On this discovery it came out that Mr. Astlett •had been re-issuing some of those bills to raise money. Mr. Bish, the stock-broker, who had been applied to with some of them by Astlett, suspecting that all was not right, gave intimation of his suspicions to the Bank, when Mr. Astlett's criminality became evident. After Mr. Garrow had gone through his case, Mr. Erskine, on behalf of the prisoner, showed that Mr. Jennings, who had signed those purloined Exchequer bills, had not the authority renewed to him for so doing, as required by the Act of Parliament. He further stated that Government had, since the commitment of Mr. Astlett, passed an Act to remedy the omission. The Chief Baron Mac donald observed that the charge was for embezzling a valid bill of exchange. However great the crime, and the magnitude of the sum embezzled, though every one must regret the cause of it, and the effect upon secu rity, yet it was the bounden duty of the Courts to de termine according to the regular, ordinary, and c o ns t an t course of the administration of justice. It was quite clear that the present indictment was not to be main tained, as the charge therein alleged could not be proved. The late Act of Parliament had recognised the invalidity of the bills which the prisoner embezzled. The other Judges concurred in this opinion, and the Lord Chief Baron directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner, who was accordingly found " Not Guilty." Mr. Garrow applied to the Court to detain him in custody, it being the intention of the Bank Directors to issue civil process against him for 100,000/. and upwards, as money paid for the bills which he had con verted to his own use. Astlett being put upon his trial under a new indictment, charging him with the ern bezzlement of the property and effects of the Bank, the evidence adduced was neatly the same as the former. Mr. Erskine, on behalf of the prisoner, took his previ -0113 ground of objection, namely, that the Exchequer bills embezzled had been informally issued, and were no more than waste paper. Mr. Justice Le Blanc said he would leave that point to be determined by the Judges. The jury found the prisoner guilty on the facts, the point of law remaining to be decided. Astlett, being brought up again, was addressed by Mr. Baron Hot ham nearly us follows :—Robert Astlett, you have been tried and convicted at this Court for embezzling Ex chequer bills, you being an officer employed in the service of the Bank of England, and having such bills in sour care and custody. The indictment states that you, being an officer, was entrusted with certain papers commonly called Exchequer bills, one of which was for the sum of 500/., belonging to the Governor and Com pany of the Bank of England ; also several other bills for different sums, the wholes cif which you, being such officer, did feloniously secrete and run away with. It is admitted on the part of the prosecution that the Exchequer bills were not legal, not having been signed by a person duly authorised by Government, but you were convicted, and your judgment was re spited in order that your Counsel might submit to the Judges what appeared to them proper relative to your case. Eleven cf the twelve Judges have since met in the Exchequer Chamber, and the ob jection taken by your counsel was ably and legally dis cussed. The Judges have since in conference sat together on the subject, and it is now my duty to inform you of the result of their mature eeliberation. There are two points that have been argued in your favour, viz., that you cal•aot be convicted under the 15th of George 11., as the 39th of George 111. repealed that statute. In the present instance it is unnecessary to dwell long, as the Judges are generally of opinion that there is nothing in the last-mentioned Act that can repeal the other. The question was, whether the bills were effects within the meaning of the Act. Here the Learned Judge read the preamble of the Act to justify the decision. The great objeez of the Legislature in framing the Act, he said, was to afford additional security to the Bank, and the prin ciple of the Legislature must be applied with regard to the general utility; and when this law is con sidered in the large and liberal view in which it was prepared, the recollection of the enormous weight of Exchequer bills in circulation must impress upon every individual that they arc fairly bought, and become the property of the Bank for a fair consideration. Yet it loss been argued that they are not such bills as come under the Act of Parliament, and though the bills, upon the face, do n o t carry l ega l va l ue , yet they carry a validity of the greatest importance to the Bank. It is expressly stated in the Act that the offence of embezzling them is n o t l arcen y, but felony. The bills are such a species of securities that no man would hesitate to re ceive them. If a n insolvent debtor were to omit placing any such bills in schedule, lnsb ort everyhonest cases mind would r evolt at the idea . value. It was many argued might be found to provetheir ebelonging to the Bank were that if trifling articlesnd he state it might lead to considered effects t g f th t old stus of pens and blotting paper o a make But the Judges had only gone to such description. effects as w ere entrusted to the servants of the Bank. rules r are sio fell under Is t-at consideration, as The ru Judges of opinion that they are effects, a s jog to - the 15th of Geo. 11., and that the embezzlement of them by you subjects you to conviction on the count u pon which you were found guilty. The count was that which charged the bills as effects belonging to the Bank, and subjects the prisoner to the pain of death. It must strike every one that, as the Bank failed in its first prosecution of Astlett, on the ground that there was an informality in the signature attacnea to the Exchequer bills purloined, and was thereby de barred from making that example of the criminal which the future security of its negotiable assets required, the Directors had a right to call upon Government for a restitution of its loss. There was no delinquency in the Exchequer-office, but certainly just that sort of negligence which is so frequently and properly made the basis of civil action. If the Bank refrained from pro ceeding on a charge of informality, we are at a loss to see with what hope of a favourable result those who have suffered by the frauds of Smith can proceed where positive crime is the thing to be compensated for, es pecially now that the guilt of the party comm itti n g it has been visited with the heaviest punishment that the law can inflict. The Bank authorities, with a wisdom worthy of imitation, on finding that they had been robbed by Astlett, lost not a moment in ferreting out what they could of the plunder.—post. On the evening of Friday week, as the Rev. J. A. Park, Rector of Elwick, was returning homeward from Castle Eden, he was rudely assaulted by several fellows, who in a most insolent manner demanded his money. The Rev. Gentleman, nothing daunted by their menacing latitudes, unbuttoned his coat, and placing his hand in the breast pockct, told them in a firm and deli berate manlier, that the first who advanced should in an instant breathe his last. This had the desired effect. The villains were intimidated. The Rev. Gentleman reached home in safety, although he had not at the time either pistols or other arms in his possession.—Tyn Mercury.
