That this plan would find more employment and scope for British labour, there can be little doubt ; but, in order to give it a fair start, the Protectionists might be driven, contrary to their declared intentions, to continue Peel's Property and In come Tax for a few years. WE WOULD HAVE'. FREE TRADE WITH THE COLONIES, AND BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT COLONIES, IN EVERY ARTICLE, it being stipulated with each colony that all the public lands revert to the Crown, and are hereafter to be viewed the birth right of any British subject who chooses to go and live on them. In this way, an enormous and incessantly increasing outlet for manufactures would spring up in the Colonies ; for, to take one instance, the West Indies would be supplied with provi sions and bread stuffs from British North America,. and these would be paid for in BRITisH LABOUR sent to Canada to clothe the increasing population thus employed, instead of being paid for, as at present, in BRITISH GOLD sent from the West Indies to the United States.

We feel satisfied that the Protectionis much more matured than people generally suppose, and that we have now given a good bird's-eye view, at least, of the ob jects desired to be attained by them. That a policy so generous and enlarged will be all carried ttempted, at once, so as to secure its success, is a we scarcely expect, for in all parties there will always be found small men "fearful and unbel them to attempt only little matters, success in e honour and failure is disgraceful,—instead of, aspirin!; at worthy objects in which, even in failiire, you .are associated with greatness, and with what, in your own mind at purposely thrown something of )bject . beink to excite th of the Whiffs to the p?sgibilitiof another party starting up on es, while we are desfrouti to make it ap- ITORITY" amounts to no more than that statement, that it I.

The Protectionists will argue that our being able to show Adam Smith's theories to be correct, supposing all the nations of the earth agreeing together to Free Trade, or supposing all the world under one Government, is just showing his theories to be most inapplicable and impracticable in the actual circum stances "f the word. The nearest approach to Free Trade the Protectionists think that can exist, without a gross sacrifice either of the one nation or of the other, is a trade in which each nation shall charge one and the same customs duty (say of 10 per cent.) on every article imported. They say that if one country sends to ano ther country twenty millions of its national labour (as the United States do to England), and takes from that country (as the United States do from England) only seven millions of that country's labour, THE THIRTEEN MILLIONS of foreign labour ought to be taxed in the country into which it is imported, to prevent the home labour being actually on a worse footing than it, even it the lax were not required for revenue. The Protectionists, in fact, seem not to object to put the foreigner on the same footing as the Home or Colonial manu facturer or producer, PROVIDED HE TAKES PAYMENT IN BRITISH LABOUR; and this, surely, is being liberal enough. They think that the best and most practical means of secu ring the workers of England the greatest freedom of trade, or, in other words, the best and MOST PErMANENT AND WELL ram EMPLOYMENT, is to make it the interest of other coun tries to open their ports to us, by making our opening ours to them contingent thereon. .ncy the utter' VVANT IS THAT STATE MENT TO TH being quite sa e agricultur i the weave at Britain and Ir , usy themselvc will endeaiour to shov They wil •eal bona jidi Frf Tel in Nev lemn et thou, that you !Minn a I knov .e to be 1 I find that all the Colonists, E from Willll England.

Indeed, it is quite well known that we would gladly give so much or more for white pine as for red, except that the great competition created by Colonists, being led into the trade by the law of 1808, has brought down the price through increasing the quantity. - It is also well known that the Baltic could not supply half what England w ants, even if the supply were not cut oft by war, as in 108. the Bar be exnec yOur of iH COL t for British mar LETTER FROM MR.

Glasgow, October 26, 134 E MY Loan,—Having been sixteen years a resident of 'Canada, ►d being still (as a merchant) one of those who are most , eply involved in the prosperity of the Province, I take the to explain, that I speak plainly and fearlessly of ie the inevitable results of the misgovernment of past, and of the deviation now from " tl ion by th British Gover because I have the feeling that I have on all done my duty (even under the most trying circumsta loyalist and a supporter of the Govern First—The misqerer 'he state of things l's complijated tola'nial manage rit by hi, lency will be aware, that in 1774 the Government all they could to perpetuate feudal Tenures and :he French language and characteristics in order to have a force to hunt the and as 1837 found tl then revolting) ','anadians, through our mismanagement, more heartily French han they were in 1774, there is no wonder that they were pre usposed to rebel.

But Tea on the Colony of Sir Robert Peel's Fre we had it to sa as not at Church British Govern- theiefore last British Trade t THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. England can get timber (a necessary of national existence) in sufficient quantity no where but in Canada ; and I expect to see the Minister impeached who introduced Free Trade, if Free Trade loses that noble colony to England. This, however, will not bring back our supply of timber; and it is monstrous for statesmen not to he able to show w here they are to get their timber elsewhere than in Canada, before taking the steps they have. Where will they look, it Canada, even as a colony, at once raises the duty for cutting timber on the pub lic lands from one dollar per load to five dollars? That they will do so, or put on an export duty, is very likely, for the im port trade has so decreased that the customs will not be suffi• cient to meet the Province's expenses, unless the debt is repu diated. This step would satisfy the Home Ministers, which nothing else seems capable of doing, that the timber trade is only an English interest, not a Canadian interest to any great extent. The Montreal and Quebec export merchants, Who have little more community of feeling or interest with Canada than if they resided in London, loudly proclaim the timber trade not only to be a Canadian interest, but the great Canadian interest. Those who compose the body politic, however (the farmers), take a very different view of it. They say that the timber trade benefits them, or Canada, just to the extent that flour, pork, butter, and any other Canadian production is consumed by the woodcutters, but that the great bulk of the price of timber is paid for in English manufacture or produce. Many people in England say, Why can't Canada compete with the Baltic? being ignorant that Firstly—The timber trade is not the natural one forthe Cana dian settler (which is the growth . of wheat), but one which was created, and can alone be sustained, by Act of the Imperial Parliament. The Canadian lumberer is an owner of land, and adopts lumber merely for more than agricultural wages. They cannot, or will not, therefore, compete with the serfs in the Baltic. Secondly —The freight from Quebec is 40s. a load against 20s. from Memel. Believing, as I do. that Free Trade will be persevered in by English statesmen for shame's cause, just as the Americans (in the true spirit of the Democracy which England has practi cally adopted) persisted long in their Banking theories, though these showed themselves wrong by upsetting every interest, to support which was their whole object and end; and believing, therefore, that, in the meantime, Canada will be lost to the Empire, 1 feel as if the discussion of the details of ameliora tion required internally in Canada were very useless now. I beg, however, to mention two things, which I have long urged as wanting to the practical good government of Canada. First—l think that Canada has been misgoverned, partly through the ignorance and partly through the want of hands in the Colonial Office; and, as a remedy, I propose that each important Colony should get a separate room in Downing street, and should have for the future two Private Secretaries, one of whom should be in the Province and in London alter nately. Each colony would thus have an intelligent machinery , in London with which colonists could co-operate for their re spective interests. - second—The Queen's subjects in Canada, from their position have no influence at the Horse Guards, the India House, or in the other services ; so that not only should their title to their local offices be viewed the stronger on this account, but the Governor-General should be armed with a certain number of Commissions in the different services in each year to reward Provincial, Parliamentary, and other services and merit; for we may rely that if the energies of the Canadian youth are not used by the British Government, they will be used against it. I take the liberty to send herewith some of the pamphlets and writings which, from 1836 down, I have published on the subject I am now referring to. I thought, too, of strengthening my appeal by sending, for your Excellency's perusal, various LETTERS OF THANKS from the Government, sent me by Lord Metcalfe, but I cannot lay my hands on them :.t the moment, and Mr. Higginson, (than whom no official knows so much about Canada) can tell your Excellency the degree of credit attachable to my opinions. I shall send a copy of this to Earl Grey. I have the honour to be, Your Lordship's obedient humble servant, ISAAC BUCHANAN.

MEASURES FOR THE PERMANENT IMPROVE MENT OF THE IRISH PEOPLE. We have of late been to peruse, usryue ad nauseam, aC' counts truly harrowing of the fearful condition of the suffering poor of Ireland; and individually, as well as nationally, the people of England have endeavoured at least to do their duty, in taking measures for its improve ment. Vast sums hdve been lavished by the state, some uselessly, and the bulk upon a bad principle, calculated to perpetuate pauperism whilst it relieves suffering, and by teaching the people to look to the national charity for support, instead of to their own industry, incurring the certain consequence of a great portion of the soil being left uncultivated, and the necessity of furnishing support being indefinitely prolonged. This cannot, however, be said of the employment of the funds raised by private subscriptions, and applied for the assistance of the Irish people by the St. Jude's and other committees. By the aid of local committees and agents—principally the clergy—the relief given` has been dispensed to really deserving objects, and an effort has been made, with the best results, to give a spur to the sinking energies and industry of the people, by requiring productive work in return for the good and assistance afforded. Of the successful working of this principle, and the certainty that in the Irish character itself there is nothing to prevent the people of that country becoming, by the assistance of British capital and generous encou ragements, self •dependent, we have abundant and satis factory evidence in a pamphlet before us, by a gentleman now resident amongst us—Mr. J. Wilson Browne.* To satisfy himself as to the real state of Ireland, Mr. Browne has recently visited a portion—the western dis tricts of Ireland—and the picture of famine, disease, and death, existing in these unfrequented parts, which he lays before us, is harrowing to contemplate : "In every part of Connaught I found the signs of past ma nufactures and commerce. In the cabins were broken spin ning wheels,—in some of the cottages dilapidated looms people talked of flax which used to grow, and of kelp and limestone once exported ; but it was evident that the want of capital here, and the increase of money and energy upon the eastern coast, had caused a transfer of most of their trade to another province. The ease with which they lived upon the potatoe formerly made them careless about the effect, but the feeling now is totally changed. In some cases the clergyman of the place had paid for having the loo m s re p a i re d, h a d bought flax, and had given the latter to the people who pro duced materials which proved to be w o r th their cost. But the risk, and the employment of money so scarce in that district, and so much required at this moment, caused their labours to be very much confined. The perfect success of the plan may be judged from the fact before mentioned, that the Rev. G. It. Gildea, of Newport, has COO persons at work on linens of va rious kinds alone ; that lie he has by his own efforts among private friends in this country, at the cost of immense toil and loss of time in letter writing, and arranging of other mi nutiae, of which the receiving and acknowledgment of money in small sums forms a large item, sold the produce of the starving people of Newport to the amount of $2OOO and more. He has forty looms at work in the cottages of the poor people. "The following statement, written by Mr. Gildea, will be read with interest : "`April 10th, 1847. "`The Rey. George Robert Gildea, Rector of Newport, Mayo, disapproving of the system of gratuitous relief, as tend ing to perpetuate pauperism, and instruct the alms-taker to fall back periodically upon the hard-earnings and self-denial of others ; and anxious to induce the people around him to make some industrial effort to help themselves, and also to keep the females off the toad works, in January offered them employment at spinning flax, for which he proposed the fol lowing plan :—For any sum of money sent to him he engaged to return the amount at cost price in linens, such as are manu factured by the Irish peasantry, of pure flax, hand-spun, hand wove, and grass-bleached, of the most durable kind, and inva luable for all household purposes—sheeting, towelling, ser vants' table-linen, twilled linens, plain diaper napkins, and - - . - " This plan has been so extensively supported, that over six hundred persons are now employed in their own cottages, at the occupation most suited to their habits and skill; a very decided industrial exertion is called forth • self-respect begins already to show itself as one of the results, and, with God's blessing, more extensive benefits are looked for. " ' Premiums in articles of clothing are given weekly, for the most punctual observance of time, as well as the quantity and quality of work done. " ' Mr. Gildea is anxious to be enabled to offer to these people, as premiums, and to others, at a very reduced price, flax seed, in order still further to excite to industry. The land is particularly suited to the cultivation of flax, which is more valuable than any white crop. Various causes have combined to render the people of this district indifferent as to whether they sow the land or not; and little or no spring work is yet done—in• fact, up to this, 'not ten acres of two thousand, the average number in tillage of a district containing fifty-five thousand acres and thirteen thousand inhabitants, are yet touched. It is almost late for anything but flax. No local help can be had, and before one month four-fifths of the inha bitants will be on the relief lists.' "April 16th, 1847. "The results of our reproductive labour plan are most satis factory; not only are the habits of industry and exertion, hi therto little understood here, showing themselves, but also an evidence of proper self-respect among the people employed, which strengthens my opinion of the evils of gratuitous relief, and the very great and important advantages of industry. Had the sums of money which the bounty of England has in this day of Ireland's necessity poured in upon every distressed parish, been extended in some industrial employment, under even a defective management, a great amount of good would have been the result ; but fortunately it has not been so ; and we are now reduced to the melancholy position of confirmed and hopeless mendicancy. Any remnant of moral feeling among the people at large appears departed; and the country is in a most deplorable and melancholy state. To stand alone against all this is not easy, but God Almighty has, I feel sure, blessed our efforts, and given us fruit. (Signed) GEO. ROBT. GILDEA." We shall not take our reader through the scenes in question. Our object is rather to lay before a sympathis ing public the remedy which he proposes for the perma nent improvement of this part of Ireland, and the dove lopement of the industry of its people. In addition to its natural resources, its quarries of stone and marble, its fisheries, its kelp, and other advantages for the employ ment of capital and industry, Mr. Browne says,— "I went prepared to see misery general and unprecedented such as had scarcely _been equalled in extent or in in- tensitn—but although I did not see one - -tenth part of the. suffering going on continually around me, I was Quite unnPe- pared for what I met. Death seemed to pace the streets—in districts where I had before observed a fine healthy race of peo ple, I encountered collections of skeletons, whose haggard looks spoke volumes of hopeless misery. Wretched counte nances—emaciated forms—the dying and the dead—funerals and desolation caught the eye on every side—busy villages were becoming cemeteries cabins are being turned into charnel-houses.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—Owing to your kindness and urbanity, a letter of mine appeared in the STANDARD of Tuesday last, upon the proposed ferry at Seacombe, containing some strictures upon a very of fensive article in the Weekly News upon the same subject. The writer of that classical leader did not scruple in the most opprobrious terms to advance unfounded charges; and while stigmatising Mr. Mawdesley as the champion of the " vested interest," he fathered upon Mr. Meadows " all the filth and squalor of Seacombe," and concluded by heaping upon the Messrs. Parry unmerited sarcasm and scurrilous invective, for wishing to retain their own property and defend their un questionable rights. My letter has awakened the irascible dis position of your contemporary, and he has honoured me with the most severe castigation which his potent pen could give. Your learned contemporary has not, in his admirable reply, substantiated one of those sweeping charges which he made against the reputation and public character of a considerable por tion of the Commissioners of Wallasey, and has failed to shew me by what logical process he proves the right to deprive a man against his will of property which will not benefit the public, or add in the•least to their conveni nce. If he can shew, that to juggle the Messrs. Parry of their ferry will do the township any good, or that those gentlemen have not uniformly studied the convenience of the inhabitants, and have therefore forfeited their right to the managesient of the Seacombe Ferry, I will cheerfully acquiesce in the opinion, that a private interest must be sacrificed to a public good ; but till he shall succeed in so doing, I shall consider it an act of intolerable injustice to esta blish a new ferry. The sapient editor of the Weekly News ad mits, with me, that the Messrs. Parry " do lose by their ferry," and then , with a consciousness of victory, he imperiously asks, "Why not relieve them from the disadvantage they suffer under ?" covering, in the audacious fallacy which he propounds, all prospective benefits which the proprietors may reasonably hope to reap, as the reward for their long and unproductive attempt to serve the public and to improve Seacombe. The " individual supremacy" of his modern Napoleon over the Gas and Water Works of Birkenhead, was defended and maintained on the ground of ultimate more than present profit. He intimates, however, that if the Commissioners " would give the matter at issue a calm and serious attention, they would find the public interest compatible with their private welfare," begging the question as to whether the establishment will be for the public interest, and taking for granted what it was his province to prove. But 1 do not imagine that the Messrs. Parry will find it much to their interest to lose their ferry, and have their property wrested from them, even if they should give it their serious consideration ;" but they must submit, with the reflection, that the ferry has become the "property of the pro per guardians of the town." lamat a loss to conjecture how increased taxation and heavy rates can improve the affairs of the township, or how the absence of them " will he destructive to the interests" of the inhabitants. I imagine that the land lords, lodging-house keepers, &c., would vastly prefer to leave the Messrs. Parry in the enjoyment of their rights, than to in cur a heavy debt. When we see the townshi la about to be plunged in debt interests of the Messrs. Parry ruthlessly sacrificed, and the Commissioners aspersed for protecting their constituents, it but natural hat we shoo sinst such a state of I trust that your contemporary will in his future dis quisitions on this subject be more careful in preserving veracity in his statements, and will not sacrifice truth to interest and party feeling.

THE AFRICAN 'BUSH PEOPLE IN LONDON TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Six,—Allow me to call your attention, and that of your numerous readers, to a subject which was unaccountably over looked by the public of Liverpool, when the best opportunity for attending to it was presented. I allude to the exhibition of genuine Bushmen from South Africa, to open about the 16th of May, in London, at the Egyptian-hall, Piccadilly. I doubt not that, of thc many thousands who crowded to see them lately, in Manchester, many were individuals from Liverpool. who had discovered their mistake in not paying them a visit in Bold-st. ; and I still advise the remainder Of ihoie who " able and willing" to retrieve their error even yet, by taking advantage of the cheap trains to visit the Lion of London, which this sight might truly be called at any season of metropolitan attractions. I visited these extraordinary beings both at Liverpool and Bir kenhead, and can confidently say that they form by far the most interesting exhibition I ever witnessed. In addition to the obvious motives which might draw all who, of any age or sex, take an interest hi the natural history of our species, it is evident that the amount of attention bestowed, in thisfavoured land, upon these samples of a most degraded race, will pro- portionably tend to brighten the hopes of their spiritual anci moral improvement. The fact of their picking up English readily, opens a cheering prospect to those who would, in the best sense, care for their welfare.

Whereas they formerly supported themselves, they now seem to think that the land, or the landlords, must support them. The Irishman in the old song, who, when caught in a storm at sea, comforted himself with the reflection that, " he was only a lodger, and that the cap tain alone would be the sufferer if they all were drowned, presents no inapt similitude of the reckless improvidence of too many of his countrymen of the present day, who seem to think that their betters in society, by a kind of vicarious substitution, become responsible for tlieir duties and their dangers. " Come what may, we must be fed," is their language ; " and that we often could not aceom_ plish when there was no blight upon the potatoes." It is within the knowledge of the writer of this paper, that one of them, who was employed upon a public road, gave as a toast, " Success to the rot, and that it was vocife rously re-echoed by thousands who were working ! about him. This is a fearful state of things ; and the mental and moral condition of those who can thus chuckle at the dire calamity which leaves them dependent upon public support, is even more lamentable than the physical suf ferings which hurry so many of them to an untimely grave.—. Dublin University Magazine. .et, fro: iehold it. May God grant thtifit be not brought to Let those who doubt rather go and examine _ _ hemselves, anc a cause for our united exertions to save a dying people." In the neighbourhood of Castlebar. too, the same good work is being carried on by the Rev. W. B. Stoney, who, the writer states, " finds the people industrious, clever, and most anxious to obtain work—indeed I was an eve- limited by the want of capital for investment in looms and flax, and a market to which to send the produce." In another place—Clifden----the peasantry have been ac customed to manufacture Frieze, Linsey-woolsey, all kinds of coarse flannels, plaids, and cotten and woollen socks, in all of which they are clever, and the articles pro duced of superior quality. A committee has been formed, called the " Cannaught Industrial Relief Fund," for the purpose of promoting the employment of these people, and the distribution and sale of the goods received in this country. Mr. Browne is its Chairman and Treasurer. and in urging the people of Liverpool to lend their aid to its meritorious efforts, we may remind them that the articles supplied are,. for durability and excellence of fabric, such as we usec find in the olden time, but which are now not otherwise to be met with. The prices at which they are furnished (cost prices,) are little if at all more titan the price of the machine-made and chemically bleached goods of our own country. Since the issue of the pamphlet, Mr. Browne has pub lished a letter in reply to some objections raised against his benevolent scheme—the chief of which are, that the carrying out of the plan will, on the one hand, injure the shopkeepers in this country , and on the other, interfere with the vested interests of machinery in the present manufacturing districts of the north.

THE CAUSE OF TOOTH-ACHE may be thus explained :—When the Enamel and Bone of the Tooth are destroyed by Decay, the air and the substance taken into the Mouth come in contact with the Sensitive Nerve of the Tooth, and produce excruciating pain. THE CAUSE OF INDIGESTION is often the imperfect mastication of food, arising from the Decayed state of the Teeth, which become painful on being touched by the food, whether hot or cold. Everybod%ll l l 4 ersforeimay, clearly under stand why filling Decayed Teeth BkANDE'S IM . lAL ENAMEL will prove a Certain Re y for the Tooth-ache, and many disorders of the Stom . Chemists have r Soil laboured to discover a substance for filling Decayed,' eeth, which would resist the action of the Saliva, the heat of the mouth, and the substances taken into it. BRANDE'S IMPERIAL ENAMEL combines all these rare qualities i it unites with the Tooth, filling up the aperture, and arresting further decay ; it becomes as hard as the Tooth itself, and will endure for years, in most cases for life.

THE POPULAR MEDICINE, HE following important testimony to the efficacy T of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, has jnst been received by the Proprietors " To Messrs. T. Roberts and Co., London. " Athlone, December 7th, 1846 , . " Sirs,—You will please send me six dozen more , PARR'S iletperny ea •, LIFE PILLS ;I am just out. The re taking well, and I can assure you. they are doing an • ensitv of good every one who has tried them in affec ' eis of the Liver and the Stomach derive a great deal of be t —Yours, &c., " WILLIAM GjOHRIST, ApOtheciry and Surgeon." The extrvecry properties of this medicine are thus de scribed by • eminent physician, who says " After particular observation of the action of PARR'S PILLS I am determined in my opinion that the following are their true properties : " First,—They increase the strength, while most other medi cines have a weakening effect upon the system, Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twenty-four hours, and, instead of having weakened, they will be found to have revived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body. " Secondly,—In their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect ; the disease upon you will become less and less by every doke you take, and if you will persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will be entirely removed from the system. _ _ _ " Thirdly,—They are found, after giving them a fair triai for a few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigorating properties, and they will overcome all obstinate complaints, and restore sound health ; there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use, whilst their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to he injurious instead of beneficial. " Fourthly,—As a general Family Medicine they are exceed ingly valuable, and no family should be without them, for they may be used with perfect safety in any disease, for to every disease they are of inestimable value. John Dale, Esq., of Manchester, Lecturer on Chemistry, and pupil of the celebrated Dr. Dalton, F.R.S., in a letter, addressed to the Proprietor, in London, says :—` I beg to state I find them worthy of being recommended to the public for their efficacy and simplicity, and to be really vegetable pills, containing, as they do, nothing but what is of vegetable origin.' With this assurance the pub lic need have no fear of giving them a fair trial. "Fifthly,—There is noinedeine ever introduced to the public that has become so universally popular with females as PARR'S LIFE LILLS. For all complaints peculiar to females they are of most 'astonishing efficacy; and they are confidently recom mended to them for general use. A trial of a box of these pills will at once prove the truth of this assertion." • Beware of spurious imitations of the above medicine. None are genuine unless the words "PARR'S LIFE PILLS" are in WHITE LETTERS ON A RED GROUND, engraved on the Go vernment Stamp, pasted round each box. Sold in boxes at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and family packets at Its., by all respectable Druggists and Patent Medicine Retailers throughout the kingdom.—Directions are given with each box. tIN THE ATTAINMENT OF HEALTH, AND ki THE BEST MEANS FOR ITS PRESERVATION. BY MR. JAMES COCKLE, SURGEON, &C. " Health is a blessing dropt from heaven, Which money cannot buy ; The life of life ; the body's peace— ' And pleasant harmony." Notwithstanding the revolutions medicine has undergone as a science, despite the theories which have alternately reigned de spotic in her schools, and tne controversies which have divided her most distinguished ornaments, her ultimate- aim has ever been the alleviation of human sufferi , or should either the enthusiasm of her followers or the rmth of their discussions surprise us when we consider t priceless object—health; the attainment and preservation which are so ardently sought by all that a single exceoti would be a paradox in the history of society. But the aid the physician is too frequently soli cited to restore lost Ith, ins! ead of enforcing the study of Nature's easy lesso to preserve it; indeed, the Goddess de mands but sirup offering's, and that the possession of her boon requires ut to refrain from excesses against her laws has been thus elegantly illustrated by the philosophic Pr. Thomas Brown—" Between satiety on the one hand and want on the other, the stream of health flows tranquilly along, which, but for these boundaries, would speedily waste itself and disappear, as the most magnificent river, which, if %Aspersed over a boundless plain, would flow almost .into nothing, owes its abundance and majestic beauty to the very banks which seem to confine its waters within too narrow a channel." This beautiful truism embodies the creed of the ablest physicians— that simplicity and moderation with regard to diet, and a faith ful discharge of the functions of the digestive organs, will be the best guarantee for the maintenance of health, as it is by their conjoined agency the body derives its support and strength, and which !soon languis and decline when the To palliate this latt become en tate, to equalize of the Ii to their original and natural action, Mr. COCKLE'S COMPOUND ANTI BILIOUS PILLS are c - mfidently recommended. .

Dr. Collier's Testimonial in favour of Cocx LE'S PILLS, must be admitted to be highly satisfactory, and will be read with much interest The following is an extract from the second edition (page 188) of the translation of the New Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians of London, by 1)r. G. F. COLLIER, pub lished by Longman and Co.:— " It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the NEW PHARMACOPOEIA) that we have no purgative medicines but what contains aloes ; yet we know that heemorrhoidal per sons cannot bear aloes, EXCEPT it be in the form of Cockle's . , which I think are formed into a sort of compound extract, the acridity of which is obviated, I suspect, by an alkaline process, and by a fourth ingredient (unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic nature. I think no better and no worse o! it for its being a patent medicine. I look at it as an article of commerce and domestic convenience, and do not hesitate to say, it is the best made pill in the kingdom ; a muscular purge,. a mucous purge, and a hydrogogue purge combined, and their effects properly controlled by a dirigent and corrigent. That it does not com monly produce haemorrhoids, like most aloetic pills, I attribute to its being thoroughly soluble, so that no unnissplved particles adhere to the mucO - Us .r membraiieof the rectum NOTE.—Purchasers of Cockle's Pills ought particularly to examine the Government stamp affixed to each box, and to see that the words " JAMES COCKLE, APOTHECARY," are en graved upon it in white letters, as without this mark of authen -0 I ticity none can possibly be genuine.
