Price Is. 1 d. per box. This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the Stomach and Bowels, the common symptoms of which are Costiveness, Flatulency, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick head-ache, Giddiness, Sense of Fulness after meals, Dizziness of the Eyes, Drowsiness and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels; Indigestion, producing a Torpid state of the Liver, and a consequent Inactivity of the Bowels, causing a disorganization of every function of the frame, will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little perseverance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, aril jaundiced appesirance, strength, activity, and renewed health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box. These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs, Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all Obstructions of the Urinary Passages; aud, if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddiness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dan gerous symptoms will be entirely carried ott by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are most truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very prevalent with the sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight. Nervous Affections, nigfLeilt,Sl, ....vrness ,ne alai give a liefutny and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are confidently recommended as the best medi cine that can be taken during pregnancy ; and for children of all ages they are unequalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they unite the recom mendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no restraint of diet, sr confinement during their use. By re gulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be re quired ; and for Elderly People they will be found to be the most comfortable medicine hitherto prepared.

IRELAND.-COUNTY OF ANTRIM. One or roe most improving and extensive FEE-SIMPLE ES- TATES in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county. W. W. SIMPSON has the honour to an nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro. prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The GALGORM or OLENAHOERTY, the BRAID, and KELLS ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable turn has been recently expended in valuable improve. ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or connected with, the various branches of the linen trade; the ma jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estates are very valuable, and there are exten sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands, abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob. tained of Messrs. J. W. Sherlock and Sons, 4, Beresford-place, Dublin, and Fermoy ; of George Joy, Esq , Galgorm Castle, Bally mena; of Mr. W. Wilson, C.E., 14, Richmond-place, Limerick; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklers.. bury. Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a third edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the "Times" news paper made the following review :—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence of the Land lords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' The' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author:—' Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, of vast ex. perienee in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stuck of practical knowledge and sterling:sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, perhaps, as any man in his time to improve i her resources, by en couraging the investment of British capital n every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably uniropeacbable.! • 4 1 0 I W VP . # tr 4 10- , 41111111 rii‘ ., „if :11 L • I*-- '4O ' • . _ I' .

Sir JOHN RENNIE, President, in the chair. The paper was read by Mr. Fairbairn, of Manchester, " On the Defects in the Principle and Construction of Fireproof Buildings." It commenced by insisting strongly on the dangerous consequences of making use of cast iron beams of large span, without intermediate support, unless the dimension of the beams were very large, and pointing out the treacherous nature of a chrystaltine metallic body, such as cast iron, when ap plied to support heavy weights in the construction of buildings. _ After some further remarks upon the importance of a thorough knowledge of the laws which govern the use and application of cast iron as a material for building under the various strains to which it may be subjected, the author proceeded to investigate the circumstances connected with the fall of Messrs. Gray's cotton-mill, at Manchester. This building was stated to be about 40 feet long and 81 feet 8 inches wide, and to consist of two stories in height, containing the hiilers below and the machinery above, over which, instead of a root; was a water cistern, covering the whole extent of the building. The first fluor was composed of large iron beams, of 31 feet 8 inches span, without intermediate support ; on these beams brick arches were turned, sustaining the whole weight of the upper part of the building. The author then demonstrated that these large large beams were totally inadequate to support the weight of the superiacumbent mass, especially as the whole pressure was upon the centre of the beams, which were of a form ill calculated to bear the pres sure, added to which the wrought-iron trussing was so badly applied, that the breaking strain was arrived at before the trussrods were brought into a state of tension. The consequence of this was, that one of the lower beams broke in the centre under a less weight than it had previously supported, both under preliminary trial.and when the cistern was fuller than at the time of the accident. The paper closed with some remarks on the delicate and invidious duty of reporting on such ac cidents as those in which the reputation of gentlemen of high professional acquirements may be involved, and the author expressed his reluctance in condemning the con struction of the building in question. In the discussion which ensued, it was argued, that if proper proportions of material had been observed, the accident ought not to have occurred. It appeared evident that the wrought iron trussrods had been so put on, that they allowed more than the breaking strain of the cast iron to be arrived at before they came into operation. The instances of the trussed beam bridges, so extensively used by Mr. Stephenson and other engineers on railways, were quoted to show that by a judicious employment of wrought iron trusses upon cast iron beams, large spans might be crossed with safety; and even in some cases where, from unseen defects in the metal, a beam had fractured, the truss rods had sufficed to support the structure, and enabled the traffic to be continued across the bridge until the repairs could be effected. In all cases a strength of not less than four to one should be employed, and for such uses as the iron beams of pump ing engines, which were exposed to great vibration and sudden shocks, from the sudden influx of steam below the piston, or the accidental breaking of a pump rod, the proportions of seven or eight to one should be ob served. The paper announced to be read at the meeting on Tuesday, April 27, was " On the Laws of Isochronism of the _Balance Spring of Watches and Chronometers," by Mr. C. Frodsham, Assoc. Inst. C.E. MILITARY INTRLLIGENCE.—CRATRAK, APRIL 9. —This morning three detachments from the provisional battalion assembled at 10 o'clock on the General Parade Ground, consisting of 88 men of the 51st King's Own Light Infantry, 82 men of the 84th, and 30 men of the 94th Regi ments, and were inspected by the Commandant of the Gar rison, Colonel James Simpson.

FALMOUTH, APRIL 28.—The weather here for the last two days has been extremely boisterous, at times chilly, cold, and otherwise unseasonable. Yesterday it blew a com plete gale at west, with occasional showers; and to-day it has veered to south-west, still blowing a smart gale, with little or no rain; sunshine more frequent. This morning has put in, from:stress of weather , the French frigate Bayonnaise, of 28 guns, Captain De la Graviere, from Cherbourg; and outside the port has anchored her Majesty's frigate Thetis, Captain Codrington, from Portsmouth. Both these vessel s are bound to Lisbon, and have found it impracticable to get out of the Channel. They worked down from the DoElman this morning together; but a marked difference was observ able in their qualities, favourable to the latter ship, which, it must be admitted, however, is of larger tonn age. S ome grain vessels are again arriving from the southward, and many are expected. the Inl e t DEATH OF HUSSEIN BEY.--Prince Hussein Bev, one of the ynungest sons of 'Mehemet Ali, died on Tuesd'; g in Paris.. lie was one of the pupils of Egyptien of Par .

There was also a considerable trade from these islands to America, the principal exports to that country being wine and barilla. The Navigation Laws of this country interrupted the trade in cochineal very much indeed —excessively so. Up to a recent period the cochineal trade had not been of very great importance, but it had increased, till it - was at present of very great extent. Last ye ar they had ex ported from 1,500 to 2,000 scrota, which weighed from 1201bs. to 150 lbs. • rch. The cochineal was an insect that fed upon the cactus plant, nod which, as the Com rnitte was aware, imparted a very brilliant dye. Th e trade of the Canaries in this article began seven or eight, or perhaps ten, years ago; but tie mightmention that as far back as thirty 3 ears since he had been anxious to in troduce the cult:ye:ion of the insect in the Canaries, but his efforts then were discouraged. The chief supply of cochineal to Ergland was frt.m Honduras. In conse quvrice. of the cessatie,n of the barilla trade between this country and the Caner:. 1 1 ,;nos there were scarcely any Isn lish ve els 7uva.,llivtt.g there to return direct home, in coesequence or which the cochineal was shipped first to Cadiz, from whence it WCIS taken to Mar seilles. Latterly the witness had endeayourtd to bring some of it to England from Cadiz, but it was seized in consequence of this being in contravention of that pro vision in the Navigation Laws which provided that the produce of Asia, Africa, and Amertea, could not be brought from any port in Europe to this country in any ship whatever. He made many representations to the Board of Trade respecting the injurious nature of this regulation, but it was all in vain ; he was not allowed to bring it from Cadiz to this country, except in bond, for purposes of re-exportation. In his representations and memorials to the B of Trade be urged upon their consideration the fact that virtually the Canary Islands were a port of Spain, and that the aside between them and Cadiz was as much in the nature cif 'a coasting trade as was the trade between this country and Ireland; but his representations had no effect, the rifid :natureof the expressions in the law w e r e , increased importation of cochineal into France had led to a greatly increased trade between France and the Canary Island. With regard to the barilla trade with America, the American Navigation Laws prevented the barilla from being carried to the United States; and the witness had therefore been compelled to have Swedish, Russian, Prussian, American, and one or two Sardinian vessels to export barilla. to New York; and, as a neces sary consequence of this exportation of barilla, the trade of America with the Canary Islands had very much increased. The Chairman—Bat are not the American Navigation Laws the same as our own? Mr. Houghton—As nearly as possible. The Chairman—Then how are the ships you mention permitted to enter the American ports with goads not the produce of their own countries ? Mr. Houghton, in answer to tbis, handed in a copy of the American tariff, tram which it appeared that ships of the nations he specified had the privilege, by treaty, of entering the American ports as free as Ame rican ships themselves. Examination continued There was still a good deal of cochineal imported into England. The duties that were levied by Spain on goods brought into the Canary Islands by English vessels were very heavy. The consequence of which was that scarcely any English vessels now went there ; while, on the other hand, cochineal, though a valuable cargo, yet went into so small a compass that it was not worth the while of a Spanish ship to come here with it; and this raised the freight very much, which averaged from 555. to 60s. per ton. When it was brought direct to this country it was brought by those Spanish vessels that arrived here to go back with a cargo of English goods. He was aware that there had been an exclusive privilege granted to the importation of cochineal about twenty years ago, when the trade was very small; but that was altogether with drawn now. He had never received any relief from the Treasury, though he had often tried hard for it. This year he had been a sufferer from these restrictions to a very great extent. He held 300 or 400 bags of that article, which he could only sell for what it would fetch; and, perhaps, the Committee would allow him to add that the Canary Island article was very superior indeed. Sir G. Clerk—What is the proportion of the whole amount of cochineal imported into this country that is re-exported? Mr. Houghton—Oh, a considerable proportion; per haps to the extent of one. half. Sir G. Clerk—then, how are you injured by being obliged to re export yours? Mr. Houghton—Why, as you know, there are secrets in all trades, and I can only say that the restrictions make a difference to me of from 4d. to 6d. per lb. Mr. Liddell —But it seems to rue that the inconve niences of which you complain arise fre.rn the anomalous position of the Canary blz.nds, that geographically they are in Africa, while polittc.dly they are in Sp a i n ? Mr. Houghton—Yes. Admiral Dundas—Do the duties impored by Spain on goods brought in British bottoms interfere with yonr trade? Mr. Houghton—Yes, to a considerable extent. Admiral Dund a s—Wh at i s t h e amount of those duties? Mr. Houghton—The duties on British manufactures, when brought in British vessels, amount to 25 per cent. Admiral Dundas—And what are the duties on the same goods when brought in Spanish vessels? Mr. Houghton-12i per cent. Admiral Dundas—Then how do the English ships go that export the wine? Mr. Houghton—They go there chiefly in ballast. Mr. Hou coc ghton—Then, if you had the power of bring ing your hineal from Cadiz to England in an English ship— Mr. Houghton—That is all we want. Admiral Dundas—How much cochineal may there be produced in the whole of the Canary Islands ? Mr. Houghton—Oh, not much, as it goes into such a small compass ; the whole produce 'would not load one ship in the course of the year. Admiral Dundas—Could you not send a ship for cochineal and fill up the rest with wine ? Mr. Houghton expressed his dissent. Admiral Dundas—l don't think you have much reason. to complain. Mr. Houghton—Ah, that is because you do not stand. In my shoes. Ajmiral Dundas—You have good shoes, I think. By the Chitiruian —The trade between Cadiz and Marseilles had very much increased in consequence of this trade in cochineal. The French had given the trade every encouragement ; they had not the same restrictions as the Navigation Laws of England:im posed, for they allowed the cochineal to be imported from Cadiz to Marseilles in French vessels, as they had lately reduced the duties upon the article. Cochineal was con sidered an article of first-rate importance in the French manufactures ; it stood next in importance to indigo. He considered that the allowing the importation of cochineal into France and restricting its importation into England tended to give a direct encouragement to French manufactures in preference to our own. Sir G. Clerk—But how can that be when we already import double what we consume, and the half of it is f . re-exported again ? Mr. Houghton—lt is a fact for all that. As I said before, there are secrets in all trades, and I may add, that very little of the cochineal imported from other places is re-shipped directly abroad. It is first taken to the warehouses of the importers. whilst our cochineal imported from the Canary Islands is not permitted to come to our warehouses, but is exported directly from the bond. Sir G. Clerk (laughing)-oh, row I understand. By the Chairman—lt that part of the Navigation Laws were repealed which prohibits the produce of Asia, Africa, and America being brought to this country by any ship, the profits of the English shipowner would be much increased. He had been a merchant for many years, and that was the conclusion he had come to alter much experience in the trade and deep reflection. Sir Howard Douglas—What are the duties levied in this country upon the Canary wines? Mr. Houghton —They are very heavy duties-800 per cent.—and the consequence is, that the wines ar e not brought to England, but a re sent to the East and W est Indies. dies. --- Mr. Liddell—What would be the consequence if these duties were lowered ? Mr. Houghton—That would increase the demand of our manufacturers, and would multiply the happiness of the human race. Mr. Liddell—And also, I suppose, enable you to incon withoutvenien inconvenience any o port your cochineal direct ? — (A laugh). Mr. Houghton — No doubt of it. a Douglas—Thenln might b e the remedied which Sir To w n a L d mp alteration of the Navigations Laws ? Mr. Houghton—Certainly. Mr. Bright—Are you a shipowner?* Mr. Houghton-1 have been to a great extent, and also an owner of Spanish ship s, Admiral Dundas—Would you foreign v esse l s f or the ship ment your go o d s ? Mr. Houghton--yes, am a Yes, I thorough Englishman, and would p re f er an English t o a foreign v esse l a t an y time, even t h oug h there was a difference of freight. Admiral Duuda T s— hen y ou do not think English sailors worse th an ot h ers ? Mr • Houghton —They are better than they were. They are particularly improved in the article of sobriety. . Admiral Dundas— Have you heard any complaints of their general conduct? Mr. Houghton—l have seen them in a French prison, and a very wild, reckless set they were. Admiral Dundas—ln a French prison —yes, but did you ever see them afloat? Mr. Houghton—Yes, I have ; and I have witnessed a good deal of impropriety and want of talent on board. Admiral Dundas—Then you would approve of a plan for examining masters and mates ? Mr. Houghton—l highly approve of such a plan, but I think a compulsory plan would not be practicable; and I am aware that the Americans, who have some very good captains, do not practise it. By the Chairman—lie considered that the restrictions imposed on the importation of cochineal amounted in fact to a tax levied upon the use of that article to the amount of from 4d. to 6d. per lb. There being no other witnesses present, the Cora mittee adjourned till Tuesday next, at one o'clock. A ~,
