MEETING AT EXETER-HILL. - The letters of the allotment will be issued this week, and the Com mittee have to request that those parties who may not receive an allotment will accept this general answer to their applications ; at the same time, the Committee much regret that so many applica tions of great respectability have necessarily been omitted, and all greatly abridged. By order of the Committee, (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Dr. WOLFF then commenoed his address, and said that, before stating to them the motives of his journey to Bokhara, or entering into its details, he must there make a most de cisive declaration, in order to quiet the anxieties of the friends of the victims on whose account he had undertaken the jour ney. That brave and valiant officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Conolly, and the brave, excellent, and religious Captain Stod dart, have been put to death by the order of the King of Bokhara. Many others, among whom were six English officers and an Italian nobleman, have also met with the same melancholy fate. He then proceeded to say that his object in undertaking such a journey was, that he might put into practice the knowledge which he acquired from the religion of Jesus—that mere preaching the Gospel was not enough, but that he would be ready at any time to lay down his life for the brethren. He was not an Englishman by birth, but he was naturalised as such b y his late Majesty George the Fourth. Having heard that these English officers were im prisoned in Bokhara, he was determined to go, and if pos sible to effect their liberation. It was in 1841 he first beard the report that Captain Stoddart was a prisoner there, and having been himself in Bokhara in 1832, and having while there received the kindest treatment from the present King and his prime minister, and the whole nation, he doubted net but he would succeed in the enterprise he had resolved upon. lie had heard after that an account in the news papers of their murder, but he (lid not believe it, and he wished to go there to ascertain the truth. Captain Grover promised him his assistance, and if necessary that he would go with him to Bokhara. A Committee was then formed, and it was decided that the Government should be applied to for every assistance they could render. He must there, also, take the opportunity of giving his most cordial thanks for the assistance which had been obtained. And his acknowlegments were especially due to the British Ambassador at Constantinople, Sir Stratford Canning—the Commander-in-Chief at Malta—the Prime Minister at Te• heran, and Sir James Graham. No idea could be formed of the excitement which his journey caused at Malta, and in deed wherever he went. When he was at Malta, Sir Edward Owen most kindly gave him letters of introduction to his friends in Athens, where he was also very warmly received by King Otho and his Queen, who wished every. success to his undertaking. After some delay at Athens, he then set out for Constantinople, and on his arrival there every account he received of Colonel Conolly and Captain Stoddart was favourable—they were still alive. He was the more con firmed in the belief that that this was the fact from having met with Captain Layard, a traveller, who informed him that he had lately received an account from Bokhara that Captain Stoddart was still alive. The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to state that Sir Stratford Canning obtained for him letters of introduction from the Sultan and his Prime Minister to the Pachas of Jerusalem, Trebizond, and the Governors of other Pachalics on his route, and that the most active interest was taken in his success by the Austrian Ambassador and other influential persons at Constantinople. He sat out from Constantinople on the 24th November, in an Austrian steamer, furnished with a telescope and a pair of compasses, kindly provided by Sir Stratford Canning, and he arrived at Trebizond on the 24th December following. The Rev. Gentleman here detailed the particulars of hls journey from Trebizond to Teheran, during which he met with the most cordial reception wherever he went—post-horses and every other requisite for his journey being provided without a penny expense to him. The only danger he experienced at this stage was from being overtaken one day by a heavy shower of snow, by which ten people were killed. The Rev. Gentleman here detailed the particulars of an interview he had with the person who had imprisoned him twelve years ago, and who was now himself in a dungeon. His name was Mahomet Khan, and he was said to have made slaves of no less than 60,000 people, whom he had overpowered in that country. From the cruelty which he exhibited to them he was called the "Head-tearer." He (the Rev. Mr. Wolff) escaped from him at the time he had referred to without suffering any other loss than that of his money. He did not wish to reprove him in the state in which hethen saw him, and the unfortunate man appeared most anxious to do all in his power to serve him. He told him (Mr. Wolff) not to go on without having letters of intro duction to the King ofPersia, and it would be well for him to take a man from the Viceroy along with him to the King of Bokhara. When he arrived at Teheran he was received in the kindest manner by Colonel Shiel, who was then Charge d'Affaires at that city. He told him that his Majesty the Kiug of Persia wished to see him, and had all the letters for Bokhara ready for him, and would give him an audience next day. He (Mr. Wolff) was quite surprised to find that his Majesty recollected him, and all the particulars connected with his former visit to his dominions. The Rev. Gentleman having received letters of introduction to the King of Persia and the Prime Minister to the different governors through whose dominions his route lay, proceeded on his journey , from Teheran, in the month of February. He had apprehended that the dangers which beset his journey in the territory adjoining Persia would be even greater than any he was likely to meet with in Bokhara itself, for in the year 18.31 the greatest fanaticism prevailed amongst the inhabi tants against the Christians, and so completely regard less were they of the rights of humanity to others, that they sold one another as slaves. He, however, disregarded all the persuasions that were used to induce him to give up his undertaking, and resolutely determined to " put his trust in the name of the Lord, who made both heaven and earth" (Psalm 127), and to persevere. To his agreeable disappointment, his fears were groundless. The war of Affghanistan had effected that good. He must state, although opposed to that war, it had had the effect of causing the name of " Englishman, to be not only feared, but respected in every extremity of these territories. He could not help feeling amused when he heard the names of Major Pottinger and other gallant officers mentioned by the natives. They also made mention of Stoddart, as a most gallant officer, and there was another name repeated, which from the peculiarity of their pronunciation he could not for a long time make out; but which, after considerable difficulty, he at last found to be Shakespeare. Every house was glad to receive him, and having at last arrived at the house of the Governor, he was informed by him that he had heard that Captain Conolly and Colonel Stoddart were still alive. He then continued his journey, and arrived at a place where they desired him to sleep in the Mosque, and upon his expressing a disinclination to avail himself of their kindness, they told him that they looked upon him as an English Dervise, and, therefore, considered they were only acting in accordance with what was due to him in permitting him to do so. He then continued his journey till he came to a place which was a resort for pilgrims from Hindestan, Persia, and Bagdad, and here he heard the most discouraging statements respecting the individuals in quest of whom he had undertaken so much labour. One rumour was that Stoddart: was murdered, but that Conolly was still alive; and another that both were alive; and another that both were dead. He was determined, however, to persevere till he ascertained the truth. To one distinguished person among them, who used his best exertions to dissuade him from proceeding, and who implored him for the sake of God not to go on to Bokhara, for that if ever lie (Dr. Wolff ) came back he would permit him to cut off his beard. He re plied, that whether he ran the risk of cutting off his beard or not, he would go on. The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to give an account of the conflicting statements re specting Colonel Conolly and Captain Stoddart, which lie continued to hear as lie proceeded on his journey. At the next stage of his jou rney , D ow l a h , a cur i ous l oo ki ng man, came to him, the brother of the party in Bokhara who had instigated the King to put every European to death that came that way. Ile inquired if he (Dr. Wolff) was going to Bokhara ? to which a reply was given in the affirmative. He then asked if he had letters from her Majesty the Queen of England? to which he (Dr. Wolff) replied that he had not, but that he had letters from the Sultan of Constanti nople, and from his Prime Minister; also letters from the King of Persia, addressed to the Mullahs of Bokhara. To this it was rejoined that all would be of no avail—they would go for nothing—for that as soon as he (Dr. Wolff) arrived at the frontier of the kingdom, they would bind his eyes, chain his limbs, and in that state take him to Bokhara, where, on the second day after his arrival, he would be mur dered, as had been Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly be fore. lie (Dr. Wolff) asked him how he knew that ? when he replied that Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly had arrived at Bokhara with letters from Sir John M'Neill, but that the King said the letters were good for nothing and threw them into prison. This person further informed hitn (Dr. Wolin that Colonel Stoddart had written to London for documents to show that he was an accredited agent of the Queen of England, but. that no answer had come to hand—no letters had been received—except one from the Governor-General of India, intimating that Caubul was destroyed, and further stating that these two persons (Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly) were innocent travellers. The King got angry at this, and immediately after put them to death. Why, then (continued this person to him, Dr. Wolff I be so foolish as to go to Bokhara ? His answer was, ,• I shall go ;" and he desired the party in question to leave the room. On this person leaving another one came, a merchant in the town, who informed him that there was a person residing there who had been an agent of Colonel Stoddart, and who re ceived from that Gallant Officer sixteen Cashmere shawls, which he had pawned for a sum of money, and with had kept the pro ceeds taken gardens and land; and who , besides this, back several letters sent by him (Dr. Wolff), as also letters sent by the Sultan of Constantinople two years ago, and letters from the Jews in London (one of which was from Sir Moses Montefiore), to the Jews of Bokhara. He sent for this person, if and he immediately came. He was a cringing, ill-minded looking little fellow. He (Dr. Wolff) inquired he had in his possession any letters from the Sultan to the King of Bok. hare ? At first he answered No, but afterwards admitted that he had, and said he would bring them to-morrow. He (Dr. Wolff) insisted that he should bring them immediately. He made similar inquiries respecting the letters to the Jews of Bokhara. These also, after some difficulty, and after a threat that the Sultan would be informed if he refused, he consented to pro duce. He produced several letters, one of which was from Sir Moses Montefiore, enclosing one hundred toumans for Colonel Stoddart. On being asked why he had not forwarded the let ters to their proper destination, his answer was that he aprre lunded danger. On being asked what he had done with the shawls, be said that lie had forwarded them to Colonel Shiel. Having parted with this person, he (Dr. Wolff) called upon the Viceroy of the pla ce , t o whorls he was introduced as a holy man—a dervish from England. The viceroy received him very kindly, and, a f ter an interim, :gyre him a guard to Bok hara. The head of the party assigned to this office was a most horrid character, one of the ferocious tribe of Mirvi, and a descendant of Gengis Khan. He paid this person in ad vance one hundred toumans, and he had hartly gone twenty miles before he demanded more money. The Rev. Doctor here described how this person, during the remainder of the journey, continued to annoy him in a similar way for money, and how, on two - occasions, he (Dr. Wolff) had been under the necessity of sending back messengers to the Viceroy of Dowlah, complaining of the extortions which this person was practising. Answers to both these messages were returned to the offending party, condemnatory of his conduct, withoist effecting any change for the better. After describing several other difficulties encountered on the journey, and also of his meeting another person who knew Stoddart and Conolly, and who stated that they bad both been executed, the Rev. Doctor at last arrived at Bokhara. On his arrival within twenty milei of the city, the king's chamb e rlaintaa came to him, and, after mutual salutations , convey ed bi fine house, and placed before him a host of sweetmeats which had been sent to him from the King, accompanied by a laca Admission, 1,5.--Catalogne, is.

RAW --...-----..--- • ,;1., age, Intimating his sincere respect for bins (Dr. Wolff) On his 'arrival in the streets of Bokhara, there were at least 100,000 people assembled, who received him in the mo t cordial manner, shnuting nut " Welcome, Welcome," " Peace be upon you. "—(Cheers.) He was then taken before the " King o Kings" as the King of Bokhara is styled ; but, before receiv -1 ing audience, he was asked if he would get down from his horse and bow before the King three times, stroke his beard, and exclaim " Peace to the King." He (Dr. W.) replied that he would not only do so three times, but twenty times, if required. He was then received by the King, and after bowing above twenty times, the King said, " Enough, enough," and ad. dressed him in the following terms, " Thou man original— thou man with the star-like tail (a comet), you must go and lay your address before my Minister of Foreign Affairs." The Rev. Doctor then proceeded to describe his interview with the Mi. nister to whom he was referred—in which be informed that official of the reasons that had induced him to visit Bokhara, the belief that Col. Stoddart and Capt. Conolly were not dead, but imprisoned. " I w i s h t o k now, " sa id the Rev. Gentleman, "if they arc alive, and if so, 1 desire that they may be given up to me ; if they are dead, I wish to know the reasons why their lives were sacrificed." The interview ended with. out leading to any satisfactory result, and at the ter mination of it he was taken to the heese where Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly had lived vihile in Bokhara, and a guard placed upon the door. Next morning he was waited upon by the king's chamberlain, accompanied with another officer, and a writer. The chamberlain, in a very pompous manner, said he had come from the King to ask two questions--first, if he could raise the dead? and second, whether he knew when the day of judgment would take place ? He (Dr. Wolff) replied, " God is great, and he alone can raise the dead—to me he has never given the power. With respect to the resurrection, the Scriptures say that Jesus will come to judge the world, but I cannot say what may be the day or the hour." Having received this answer, and after making some inquiries about the dress which he ( Dr. Wolff) wore, the cham berlain and his companions retired. On their leaving, three soldiers were placed at the door, and he heard from without the remarks of the p eo pl e , say i ng that he was doomed to. be &n -ether victim. He was next taken before the Nuedan of Bokhara, who received him in the most cordial manner, and who had served up, on his account, a splendid breakfast in the European style. The information, respecting Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly, received during this interview, was, that they had been considered as two spies, being without letters, and in consequence put to death. The Nuedan de. scribed their first coming to Bokhara. Colonel Stoddart came first, and on being introduced to the king, instead of bowing, according to the usual custom, he resisted and drew his sword. He was afterwards thrown into prison, where he re canted the Christian faith, and became Mahevnetan, and again, after a short time, relapsed into his old belief. He represented himself as expecting letters from England, but for l 4 months none arrived from any quarter but one from Lord Ellenborough. Matters were in course of reconciliation when Captain Conolly came and upset every thing. He was without letters. The two now began to send letters privately away to Caubul and Persia. and also letters to excite war between Kbira and Concan. These proceedings excited suspicion and they were put to death by having their throats cut. Before suffering they kissed each ether, when Capt. Cannily said, " Fearnothing, Steddart, we go to Paradi se ,.t o Jesus!" Colonel Stoddart, looking at the executioner, said, " Tell your tyrant. die a Christian. I am no believer in M a h ome t." After this inter view he (Dr. Wolff) still being dissatisfied with the informa tion received respecting the object of his mission, and refusing to take his departure, was watched in the strictest manner. Every word he spoke was taken to the King. Fortunately the Jews of the city were allowed to visit him, and he resorted to a stratagem, in order to deceive those who were appointed to watch him. He ma naged to arrange with these Jews that common conversation should be carried on with them in Persian, but that on any ex traordinary or particular matter, he and the party speaking with him should each take out a book, and pretend to read in Hebrew, in question and answer. The Reverend Doctor here gave a specimen of this mode of defeating the tyrant of Bokhara, which excited much laughter and applause in the meeting. Tired out with the delay, he at last, in an interview with Abdool Samid Khan, the King's Lieutenant, and the brother of the Persian whom he had seen at Dowlah, charged-the latter with having caused the putting of Colonel Stoddart mad Captain Conolly to death. He admitted having mureer.el them, and this admission made, he surrounded him (Dr. Wolff) with his soldiers, and forced him to write out an acknowledgment that he owed him (Abdool Samid Khan), the sum of 6,000 thalers, for services rendered At last, letters having arrived from the King of Persia, request ing his (Dr. Wolff's) liberation, he was set at liberty, and shortly after he was allowed to appear before the King, who placed round him, as a robe of honour, a rich Cashmere shawl, gave him a hundred ducats, made him a present of a horse with silver mountings, and even wanted to send him an ambassador to bear him company on the way. He said to him (Dr. Wolff ), " You are a wise man, and a man of diseretien, and I will send you back with honours." The King further informed him that Colonel Steddart and Captain Conolly might have been well-intentioned men, but that they had acted very im prudently while in Bokhara. They were stated to have been killed it 1843, and not in 1842, as had been supposed. After describing very briefly his taking leave of Bokhara, the Rev. Gentleman concluded his address amidst great cheers, having addressed the meeting for two hours and a half. The Rev. Mr. aronna ar, brother of Colonel Stoddart, next addressed the meeting, and expressed his high admirittion of Dr. Wolff's Christian conduct in undertaking se hazardous an expedition. He then proceeded to defend his brother, at some length, from the charge of being a mere soldier, and gave several instances in which he had distinguished him self for literary acquirements and diplomacy. He con cluded by declaring that Captain Grover had made most false and cruel assertions respecting his brother, in the boek which he had published on the subject. This unexpected attack, which produced the greatest excitement in the meeting, called up Captain GROVER, who said that it was with great pain that he had originally entered into this matter. In 1841, when it was believed that Colonel Stoddart was dead, a belief which he did not anticipate in, and when his family mourned for him, The Rev. Mr. STODDART here shouted out, 6 ' We did sot mourn for him. There have been many false statements, and that is one of them."—(C r i es o f " Chair, chair," hisses, and great uproar, which was with difficulty suppressed by the chairman.) Captain GROVER then proceeded, and at some length fur nished a very clear history of his connexion with ibis affair, which gave great satisfaction to the meeting, and was received with great cheering. Yet, for all his exertions (he concluded) he had never received the thanks of a single relative of the deceased. Captain RANDALL, another relation, spoke to the question, and thought the Rev. Mr. Stoddart had acted in an impro• per manner, and ought to apologise. The Rev. Gentleman, however, persisted in his opinion re specting the contents of the book ; and, after the Chairman, Mr. S. Buckingham and Dr. Wolff bad spoken condemnatory of the terms which the rev. gentleman had used, the subject dropped. Resolutions were then passed, thanking Captain Grover and Dr. Wolff for their exertions, and agreeing to raise sums of money to indemnify Captain Grover for his advances towards the mission, and to present a testimonial to the Rev. Dr. Wolff for his courage, perseverance, and intrepidity. A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, when the meeting separated. ESSEX AND SUFFOLK RAILWAY.—ENLARGEMENT or LINE AND CAPITAL.—We are glad to learn that the Directors of this highly popular project have de termined to include Cavendish and Clare by a short b . ranch, and in order to b e a bl e t o d o no, an d meet any increase in the price of iron, have determined to raise the capital to one million, by issuing in all 40,000 shares, Instead of 30,000, as heretofore intended. We should hope this increase w ill h ave t h e f urt h er effect of di minishing the dissatisfaction expressed by many, of not getting anything lik e th e Num b er o f s h ares t h ey ap plied fur, and still more who have not got any at all. As there does nut appear to be a single dis sentient among the owners and occupiers along the whole line, it is natural that there should be a great local demand for shares, and we think the Directors will do wisely to encourage this local de mand by allotting to those who desire to invest for a per manency, rather than to those who wish to speculate in the share market. The promised support of the Eastern Counties Railway Company by their very talented en gineer, Mr. Braithwaite, and the success that has at tended their own acting engineer, in his Cambridge and Lincoln line, Mr. Bazalgette, have added much to the puh!ic appreciation of this project.—Esser Hera ld. HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCHPOLE , THE SUFFOLK GIRL.—We umlerstand that, in consequence of the very great interest excited by this publication, which is edited - by t he R . R, C ,bbold, of Wortham, Suffolk, and from the circumstance of the story having been dram a ti se d a t several theatres, the first edition is entirely ex h aus t e d ; and at the suggestion of numerous persons interested in the account of the heroine's extraordinary life and adventures, and who have been disappointed is pro curing copies, the publisher has been induced to issue a new edition compressed into two volumes, with the illus trations, price only 12s. In this form the work will, no doubt; attain the large circulation which it deserves, not less from the vivid excitement afforded by its startling details, than from the instructive moral to be derived from its pages.

It is impossible that a subject o f greater interest could have been found—this great man being not only the tutelary genius of Austria, but one of the master-spirits of the age, in whose hands are the destinies of nations. The author of these clever papers has evidenly been behind the scenes where, though kings were the actors, the prompter was a Met ternich, and he afforded the reader glimpses as extrior dinary as they arc entertaining of the rehearsals for the important political dramas that have had Europe for a stage, and the world for an audience. The particulars of the career of Prince Metternich will be found extremely interesting, and are believed to contain many startling incidents and piquant anecdotes hitherto unknown to the general reader.

GRAND UNION RAILWAY: An Extension of the GRAND UNION RAILW tY is deter mined upon, from Nottingham to the Terminus of the intended Manchester and Buxton Railway, at Amber. Gate, The line wills traverse the Great Derbyshire and Nottinahaiashire coal-fleld; run-'• ning hoin the Arnhet - GAte-sta'ion through or near tlartscy, Ripley, Codnor, Heanor, Eastwood, Ilkeston, Trowel', Wollaton, and Radford, to the town of Nottingham, sad thus passing through a densely populated district, inexhaustible in its mineral resources, and from whence an immense degree of local traffic must be de rived, it will complete, by its junction with the Grand Union and the Manchester and Buxton lines, a direct communication between the eastern and north-western parts of the Kingdom. As this line was originally a part of the plan contemplated by the promoters of the Grand Union Railway, and was merely postponed until it should be ascertained that the Manchester and Buxton Company would carry out their scheme of extension to Amber Gate, a preference will be given, in the allotment of shares, to the holders of shares in the Grand Union Railway. A Provisional Commit - tee is formed, and a detailed prospectus will be i.sued in a few days ; and in the meantime, communications may be made to the Provisional Committee, through their Solici tors, Messrs.

Capital 600,000/., in 60,000 shares of 10/. each. Instalment 1/ per Share. Since the issuing of the former Prospectus, the Provisional Direc tors have considered it desirable to negotiate with the Patentee for his whole right of patents, instead of confining themselves to the United Kingdom and Ireland, as originally proposed ; and the Direc tors have now the satisfaction of announcing to the public that they have agreed for the purchase of the British and Foreign right of Pit brow's Atmospheric Railroad and Canal Propulsion Patents. By this extended arrangement the Directors have obtained the patents upon much more advantageous terms for the proprietary, in consequence of which the amount of call necessary to carry out the object and intention of the Company will be greatly diminished, and the pros pect of immediate return considerably increased. In lieu of Five Pounds, One Pound per share is considered ample to cover the expenses of purchase, and to lay down a line of sufficient length to prove the superiority of Plibrow's Atmospheric principle. The arrangement of this undertaking, however. necessarily involves many changes ; the amount of capital and the number of shares must be considerably augmented, but the shares will still be continued at the same amount, viz., Ten Pound shares, to meet the wishes of the original applicants. An instalment of One Pound per share will be required on the signing of the deed of settlement. DIRECTORS. The Right Hon. the Earl of ESSEX, Chairman. The Right Hon. the Earl of Besborough.

The prominent advantages of this system of Atmospheric traction, are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads are crossed noon a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway can be intersected by another, thus saving bridges, approaches, and leakage ; and it is confidently expected that a stationary engine every ten miles will be sufficient. The system combines extreme simplicity with perfect efficiency, and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and construction. It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly 3,000/. per mile ; two:mains or lines can, on this plan, be laid for little more than the cost of one, upon the other plans ; and a saving or working in annual expense of two-thirds. - Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destruction by weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the mains being buried, &c. The e' - j.cts of the Company will be to dispose of foreign patents; to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the invention, or lay down the works under contracts with the different Companies ; and to lay down an experimental line in the neighbour hood of the metropolis, by agreement with an existing company or otherwise. The income derivable from these sources offers considerable advan tages, while the expenses, with the exception of the purchase of the patents, and laying down the experimental line, are obviously small.

This undertaking, in connexion with the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway and its tributaries, will bring the important mineral, agri cultural, and grazing districts of Furness and West Cumberland (hi therto for the most part isolated) into immediate and direct commu nication with the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and York shire, and will form a continuous line of railway between the east and west coasts, viz.: from Hull and the other neighbouring ports on the Baltic to Whitehaven and the other ports on the Irish Sea, and it will afford the only safe and sure means of transit, irrespective of tides, from the town and port of Ulverston with Lancashire north of Sands, to all other parts of England. The line is intended to diverge from the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, near Milnthorpe, which, admitting of a near approach to the foot of the Lakes of Winandermere and Coniston, may be deemed the most eligible route to Ulverston. _ _ A preliminary survey has been made, and it has been ascertained by the engineers that the line may be so constr :cted as not to affect injuriously the residences or ornamental property of the land. owners in the district.

HARVEY, of Bath, formerly Sur geon in the East India Company's Service, recommends to the Public his Family Pills. The great benefits resulting from an efficacious household medicine must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a cure for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill ness so frequenqy occurring in families, it will be found of singular service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual. The large and shadily increasing sale of these Pills, princi pally from the recommendations of those who have expe rienced their salutary qualities, is the best proof of their ex cellence. A few doses will convince those suffering from Indi gestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are perma nent. They remove obstructions of the bowels ; act upon the kid neys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off those fluids which might otherwise terminate in Dropsy. They hive teen found of infinite service, both in England and during Dr. Harvey's practice in the East Indies, in preventing and carin g the Jaundice ; in in off Gall Stones and restoring a healthy action to the Liver. Ladies will find them particularly beneficial both before and after their confinement. These truly excellent Pills are to be procured genuine of Edwards, 67, St. Paul's Church-yard. whose name will be engraved on the Go verunient Stamp. Price is. lid. per box. Sold also by Sanger, 150, Oxfbrd-street ; White, 24, Cornhlll ; ans lame respectable Cheratipti. CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the breeding of the Llama, from which a very tine wool is obtained. The Cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of REGENT-STREET, TAlLonsito the COURT, it may be marked that such was mad e o f this matiial. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing very singular, beyond a very gentlemanly neatness, and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court it met with high appro bation,—Morning Post, April 19. Amongst the registration of designs according to the netts ,Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notion of securing the particular sub stance and.cut of a coat is certainly a new one, but It peaks well for the working of an Act which tbaa secures theliront or a good judgnient and well-directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is due.—The Times, April 4. The REGISTERED PALETOT, Two Guineas. 114, Regent street, London. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by H. J. and D. NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, REGENT-STREET, London, for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and universally-admitted common appearance. The ma terial is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama Wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige nor trop habille, but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it cannot encnmber free movement, worn riding or walking: it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit of Its being used as a light Frock Coat —a desirable advantage in our . warmest summer months, or abroad where heat is found Oppressive. _ _ H. J. and D. NICOLL, sensitive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderately-light overcoat In a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain—would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themselves were satisfied of its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gained by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. This they can do with safety, as their new introduction, they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman — the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many aro kept ready in the extensive Warerooms, 114, REGENT-STREET. FOREIGN AND BRITISH MADE CIGARS AND CHER )OTS. Messrs.
