The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle sti mulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life, and is, therefore, calculated to afford decided relief to those who have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such persons the appetite is generally defective, and the relish of life is al most subdued ; they are wanting in that activity of Mind and energy of conduct which their affairs require ; and partly from conscious weakness, partly from excessive apprehen sions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature grave. It is for these that Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, parti cularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM. Whatever enriches the blood, without inflaming it ; what ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system ; whatever frees and disburdens the viscera and other important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and throws off viscid humours; whatever strengthens the general habit, and brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone ; whatever is calculated to produce, in a considerable degree, all or any of these effects, must be, under certain mo difications and restrictions, equally adapted to every species of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm of Syriacum makes a direct attack upon the many-headed hydra in one quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly or collate rally, to almost every other ; in short, the debility of nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent medicine, for its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility ; its fine rich stimulating balsamic stomach qualities—its purification of the blood—and, above all, the complete invigorator of the nervous system, whereby the whole faculties become re stored to their proper power and functions. and the fallen fabric of life is raised up to beauty, consistency, and dura tion, upon the ruins of an emaciated and premature decay, to sound and pristine health. As nothing can be better adapted to: help and nourish the constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknow ledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate cough, shortness of breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses wonderful effi cacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wandering of the mind, vapours, and melancholy •, and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually renamed by its use. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, asthmas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cured. Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs will, ere. long meet the happiest change ; the chill, watery fluid will become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and healthy. Sold in Bottles, price lls. each, or the quantity of four in one Bottle for 335., by which one lls. Bottle is saved. Messrs. PERRY expect, when consulted by letter, the usual fee of one pound, without which no notice whatever can be taken of the communication (postage pre-paid.) In cases of emergency consult the TREATISE given Gratis with each box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, Price 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and lls. per box, Warranted not to contain Copaiba, Cubebs, or Mercury. They are of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic Affections, Eruptions in any part of the body, Ulcerations or Scrofulous Taint, Pimp, &c., being justly cal culated to cleanse the blood from all foulness, counteract every morbid affection, and restore weak and emaciated con stitutions to pristine health and vigour.

Perry and Co., Surgeons, may be consulted, as usual, at 4, Great Charles-street, (four doors from Easy-row), Birmingham, and 44, Albion-street, Leeds, punctually from Eleven in the Morning until Eight in the Evening, an d on Sundays from Eleven till One.

An opinion was gaining ground amongst men of all parties that Lord Ashbur ton's mission would be attended by beneficial results. Nothing, however, bad transpired touching the tenor of his lordship's instructions. The West India mail steam-ship Dee, reported in some re cent advices to have been lost at Turk's Island, arrived at New York on the 11th April. The mail steamers had ex perienced great difficulties, in consequence. of the arrange ments made in several of le West India ports having been misunderstood, and of the delay in obtaining coal. All such delays will be avoided in future. Aavices have been received in New York from the city of Mexico to the 25th, and from Texas to the 28th March. The Mexican papers state that Santa Anna had purchased two English steamers, in addition to the City of Dublin steamer, which was lying at Vera Cruz. They were armed for war, and manned with Englishmen. Two corvettes and a schooner were also to be immediately put - under the Mex ican flag. Santa Anna had forbidden the journalists to pub lish anything about war . A new law had passe d ena bli ng foreigners to pur c h ase an d h old lands and houses in Mex i co, with certain privileges. The prisoners in Vera Cruz were said to be starving to death, though corn and flour were abundant. The accounts from Texas render it certain that the ru mours respecting the force of Mexicans invading that country have been greatly exaggerated. It was even doubtful whe ther a single Mexican soldier was within the limits of Texas. The Texians, however, appeared assured that Mexico was preparing a considerable force for the invasion of their terri tory, and they were preparing with all their force to return the compliment, and if possible to be even beforehand with the enemy. President Houston had given formal directions to prepare for the invasion of Mexico, and had sent a decla ration of war to Santa Anna. The Texian commander had been ordered to cross the Rio Grande. It was supposed that Matamoras would be the first point of attack. Meanwhile tke Mexican coast was blockaded by the Texian marine. fit/( i-a--'4f-,4"-C-.. or_ CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY IHE ANNUAL SERMONS in behalf of the above So ciety will be preached in Liverpool (D.V.) on SUNDAY, the 22nd May instant.

By the packet-ship Independence weT have received New York papers to the 10th instant : Lord Ashburton was in Washington on the 4th of April, domiciled in President-square, next to Mr. Web s t er . H e appeared in excellent health. He waited on the Secretary of State on the sth, and was publicly presented to the Presi dent on the 6th, when he presented his letters and creden tials; he afterwards visited the two houses of Con gress; an d thus far the ceremonies of introduction being shortly got over, would proceed to the important objects of his mission. The loan bill was before the senate, and would speedily be passed. Of its efficacy to supply the wants of the treasury great.expectations were excited. The committee of manu factures had reported to the house on their views of a new tariff, recommending a duty of 40 per cent. ad valorem on woollen goods generally; on coarse goods 30 per cent. ; on fine a specific duty ; on rolled iron, English iron, 25 dollars per ton ; on hammered or Swedish, 17 dollars ; pig metal, 8 dollars; and on coal, 1 dollar 60 cents. per ton. A dinner was about to be given to Mr. Clay, at Washing ton, on his retirement from the senate, and from public life. In regard to the Hogan affair we are glad to say that the unenviable notoriety which that person desires to possess for himself has been again disappointed. After his arrest and examination before the police justice, which occupied five days, the evidence being much the same as adduced upon the trial of M`Leod, except that of a Dr. Mackenzie, who swore that, in a conversation he held with Hogan, he narrated to him the planning of the destruction of the Caroline, and stated that he was one of the party. The court finally de cided that the warrant on which he was arrested being granted in a different state to that in which the offence was committed he must be set at liberty. He went to the National Hotel, where a constable remained with him for protection, until he could be got away to Canada. A love affair is said to have brought him across the border, but he appears to have been also influenced by an inordinate share of vanity to make a lion of himself at any hazard. Advices from Campeachy had been received at New York to a late date. It is said that General Moore had sailed from Campeachy. Yutacan had resolved to aid Texas against Mexico, and the Yutacins were busy fitting out vessels for the purpose ; and it is added, the alacrity and goodwill with which this step was taken, would insure her being a powerful ally of the new republic. Advices from Buenos Ayres, to the 9th February, were at New York. There had been a severe battle in the interior, between Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, and had resulted in favour of the former. An accident had occurred to the steam-frigate Missouri, belonging to the United States, in the Potomac, by her getting aground. She does not appear to have sustained much damage, but in taking out an anchor and cable to her to get her off in a boat, the anchor got over board, and the cable running out with velocity swamped the boat and killed and drowned the whole party, consisting of a lieutenant and 15 seamen. The steamer was still aground, and the Mississippi had gone down to try and get her off. Business at New York, on the Bth, continued in a very de pressed state, scarcely any transactions of importance had taken place since the departure of the Columbia steam-ship. On the 7th, several large failures in the dry goods line were announced, and amongst them an important silk house. The pressure amongst holders of foreign manufactures was very severe. There was a general stagnation of trade, and prices were still declining. The London picket-ship Montreal had arrived at New York on the 7th, but her news, which was three days later, had not produced any improvement in the New York market. The sales of Cotton up to the Sth continued very small; purchasers were hording off for a further decline in prices, which it was fully expected would take place. In corn and flour the markets still continue dull, and with but a trifling business doing, and without any material change in prices. Sir Charles Bagot has by proclamation further prorogued the Canada parliament till the 11th of May, and then not to meet for the despatch of business. The packet-ships Cambridge and the Echo, from Liver pool, had arrived at New York. Both had encountered very boisterous passages, and had, during their outward voyages, fallen in with several wrecks. We have received since the above was in t ype , N ew Y ork papers to the 15th ult., brought by the packet-ship Virginian, which arrived at this port on Wednesday The flour and grain markets were inactive. Genessee flour was held at 6 dollars 37c., and the sales had been but trifling. New Orleans had arrived freely at New York, but no sales of consequence had been effected. The current rate was 6 dollars. The cotton market was in a state of activity, the demand brisk, and prices had within a few days slightly im proved. The quotations were for Upland, very ordinary to middling, 5i to 1-2 c. ; fair to good fair and good, 81 to 9} and 10c. ; Tennessees and Alabamas, 51 to 81c. ; Mobiles, Lousianas, &c. ordinary to middling, 6* to Bc. fair to good fair 9 1-4 to 101 c. good and fine 10} to 11 and 12c. per lb. There had been but little doing in Exchanges for the packets either for Liverpool, London, or Havre. The rate on Eng land was loq to ]O7, on France 5 40. Treasury notes were inactive at 1i- discount for notes of 1,000 dollars. The trans actions in stocks had been to a fair extent, but prices were unsettled. The loan bill had been read a second time in the senate, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. eare d Lord Ashburton was still at Washington. of on that he had communicated with the Governor 0 the subject of the North Eastern Boundary...atTuhr: for the governor was about to call an extra session of the legal de purpose of considering his lordship's -it the concurrence propositions. ' The bates, it was presumed, would be seere of Maine be obtained to the propositions of this country, the e legislature of the greatest difficulty will be overcome ;h CHINA, AFFGHANISTAN, AND INDIA (BY THE OVERLAND MAIL.) HINA. The latest intelligenceC is to the 14th of February from Macao. The Chinese government having garrisoned the cities and forts of Yuyao, Tsikee, and Funghwa, which are situate 40, 20, and 30 miles respectively from Ningpo, with a view of awing all those who had submitted to the British, a force consisting of three steamers with about 700 men was despatched against them. They were soon occupied; the only opposition being an attempt at one place on the part of the Tartars-to defend the town from without the walls; but, al though they opened fire, the Tartars fled as soon as attacked ; they were pursued, and lost about 150 men. The snow which covered the country saved the others, as their pursuers did not know the safe paths. The ammunition, arms, clothing, and other war-stores, were destroyed, and the public granaries surrendered to the populace. The expedition returned to Ningpo on the 12th of January. Hang-chow-foo is the chief city of the populous province of Che-Keang, and was, it is said, about to be occupied by our troops during February. It had a garrison of 10,000 raw recruits. The division of the English troops into detachments at Hongkong, Amoy, Chusan, Chinhae, and Ningpo, was likely to prevent an immediate attack, but on the arrival of the expected reinforcements from India and England, the campaign would, it is said, begin by the capture of that im portant position at the south point of the Great Canal. The utility of this proceeding is much canvassed, for many con tend, that instead of wasting forces at isolated points, the British expedition ought to proceed at once to the attack of the Imperial province of Pekin, which, being by the consti tution of the Chinese empire, placed under the immediate government of his Celestial Majesty, any attack on it would oblige the Emperor in person to examine the causes of the war, and to come to a speedy decision. Having issued a circular to Her Britannic Majesty's sub jects announcing the capture of these three cities, Sir Henry Pottinger sailed for Hong-kong, where he arrived on the Ist of February. He immediately put a stop to the wretched system of seizing the Chinese commercial junks. Trade was carried on successfully with the southern ports, and opium was selling freely along the coast, for the powers of the Go vernment to control the use of that narcotic appear now to be in a great measure paralyzed. The sale of this article is such, and the prices so remunerating, that it has been pro posed to station vessels in different places to serve as depBts for the cargoes. The profits are such as will enable the Hon. Company to defray at least one-half of the expenses of the expedition to China. In the mean time the mandarins at Canton and their Dutch engineers are busy erecting fortifications along the banks of their river; they have already erected 12 stone or earth bat teries along the Macao passage and the Salt Junk river, in which they have placed nearly 400 guns of large calibre. As the export trade from Canton continued, Sir Henry Pottinger has decided, while trade is allowed, and the river below Whan3pou is left unobstructed, upon not attacking that place again, for, as he declared to some mandarins, who came com missioned, as they said, by their celestial monarch to treat with the British Plenipotentiary, " I will not now enter into treaty : I will negociate with the E mperor persona ll y at Pekin." Reinforcements are now preparing in different places. The 2d and 41st Madras Native Infantry embarked on the 13th of March from Madras, and the 14th, which was at Moul mein: and the 39th Madras Native Infantry, which was at Penang, have, it is asserted, received orders to get ready for proceeding to join the China expedition. It is reported that Chusan, Amoy, and Hong Kong are to be free ports ; buildings of various kinds are springing up fast in the last named island. AFFGHANISTAN It is scarcely possible to remove the mist which prejudices and party madness have already thrown around the accounts received from Cabul and its neighbourhood, since the disas trous retreat in the beginning of January. The Bombay Times, in its overland despatch, paints every thing in most gloomy colours, although there is not sufficient reason for such clamour and horrifying statements. The truth of the affair is now breaking out, and the disasters of Cabul and of the mountain passes appear attributable to dis united councils in the British camp, and to the total ineffici ency of the military leaders. A private letter from Sir W. H. Macnaghten to his friend the Hon. Mr. Erskine, dated Cabul, the 9th of December, 1841, has been published by the Friend of India. It is as follows, and speaks fearful tales:— " We have now been besieged 38 days by a contemptible enemy, whom the cowardice of our troops and certain other circumstances, which I will not mention, have emboldened to assume an attitude of superiority. Our provisions will be out in two or three days more, and the military authorities have strongly urged me to capitulate. This I will not do till the last moment. We have rumours that a - force is com ing to our assistance from Candahar, and 1 sincerely trust it may, for we have no energy or spirit among those here." A letter, dated the 30th of January last, has arrived from Major Pottinger, from which it appears that " General El phinstone, at the time after the murder of Sir W. H. Mac naghten when the evacuation of Cabul and its neighbourhood was under discussion in the British cantonments, was so ill from gout and a wound, that all active measures bad devolved on Brigadier Shelton ; that Major Pottinger proposed march ing from the cantonment to the Bala Hissar, or evacuating Cabul, with the sacrifice of their baggage, and fighting their way to the nearest British station. Brigadier Shelton de clared the first proposition impracticable, and the council of war would not agree to the second; consequently General Elphinstone acquiesced in the vote of the council of war, which was for the disastrous course adopted." Thus, instead of regarding the disasters of Cabul as a proof of Affghan prowess, they must be looked upon as demon strations of the incapacity of the British generals. This view is corroborated by the fact of Shah Soojah being ena bled still to maintain himself iu the Bala Hissar ; and by the gallant defence of Jellalabad by Sir Robert Sale, where he, n otwithstanding every difficulty, has maintained his position since last October. General Nott is still master at Candahar and its environs, from whence the Affghans have not been able to expel him. The fact seems therefore clear, that if the British troops had been well commanded at Cabul, nei ther the evacuation of that place nor the wretched retreat would have been necessary, and then the fatalities of that miserable proceeding would have been spared. Sir Robert Sale was safe in Jellalabad up to the 4th of last month ; he had secured provisions for himself and his troops, and was determined to resist to the last. An earthquake on the 19th of February had done great damage to the fortifica tions and buildings of the town, but the resolution of the general and his troops had not only repaired the damage, but routed a party of Afighans under Akhbar Khan, who endeavoured to profit of the occasion, and to attack the 13ri tish position. The troops sent to the relief of Jellalalad have met with various discouragements. The want of cannon caused the failure of Colonel Wilde's movement into the Khyber Pass. Great sickness, but luckily no heavy mortality, attacked those that arrived near Peshawar before General Pollock. The attempt made to buy over the Khyberrees did not suc ceed, although a quarrel had taken place between two of their tribes about the spoil they had previously acquired. On the 25th of February General Pollock issued an order for a march into the Khyber Pass, in order to relieve Jellalabad. This order is described as giving dissatisfaction to several of the officers inasmuch as it limited the quantity of baggage they were allowed to carry. It has, it appears, been since found, that as Jellalabad was not in immediate danger, it would be bast to await the arrival of the 3d Dragoons before the attempt was made on the Khyber Pass. The Hindoo soldiers, inde pendent of their dislike to cross the Indus, entertain a strong aversion to the barbarity and treachery of the Affghans. The brigade from Ferozpore, under the command of Bri gadier White, was on the banks of the Chenaub on the 9th of March, and expected to cross the Jeelum on the 1 9 th or 13th, and would, therefore, reach Peshawar in the beginning of this month. The force under General Pollock Pollock ock would then be respectable, and fully capable of eff ec ti ng the passage.
