DARR'S LIFE PILLS. 1_ A mild, safe, and most effectual cure of Indigestion, Bilious, Liver, and Stomach Complaints, Sick Head-ache, Cos tiveness, &c. &c. Their composition is truly excellent ; they are compounded entirely of vegetable products, freed from all irritating and deleterious matters, which render their opera tion mild and agreeable: they do not require the least confine ment or alteration of diet, and may be ren by the invalid with perfect safety; as an occasional e in all nervous and debilitated cases, recoveries fi o . protracted diseases, &c., they will be found highly val e, imparting vigour and tone to the system when emaci by disease. First—They increase e strength, whilst most other medi cines have a weaken' effect upon the system. Let any one take from three four or six pills every twenty-four hours, and, instead laving . weakened, they will be found to have revived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body. Secondly—ln 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 dose you take; and if you will persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will speedily be entirely removed from the system. Thirdly—They are found, after giving them a fair trial 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 oesideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknow ledged to be injurious instead of beneficial. TO PERSONS GOING ABROAD. These Pills are particularly recommended to all persons going abroad, mid subjecting themselves to great change of climate. OFFICERS OF THE ARMY AND NAVY, MISSIONA RIES, EMIGRANTS, &c., will find them an invaluable appen dage to their medicine chests, as a preventive of the attacks of those diseases so prevalent in our Colonies, especially in the West Indies, where a small box recently sold for 10s. In Ame rica also the fame is getting known, and its virtues duly appre ciated, causing an immense demand for it ; and there is no country or port in the world where it will not speedily become an article of extensive traffic, and general utility, as it may be bad recourse to in all cases of sickness, with confidence in its simplicity, and in its power to produce relief. TO LADIES. PARRS LIFE PILLS are especially efficacious in all the va riety of ailments incident to the Fair Sex. Ladies even of the most delicate constitutions will find them particularly benefi cial, both before and after confinement ; and for general use in schools, they cannot be too strongly recommended. They mildly and speedily remove all Skin Eruptions, Sallowness of Complexion, Nervous Irritability, Sick Head-ache and Depres sion of Spirits, Irregularity, or general derangement of the system.

Srn,—l have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that whim was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom pain.

It will be gathered from our various trade returns, as ' well as from the information subjoined, in which we com municate the latest particulars, many of them supplied orally to our reporter yesterday on 'Change, that an im proved feeling prevails generally; although much of it is rather in anticipation than in anything absolutely realized, except as regards the Cotton trade, which the last two days' sale of sixteen thousand bales, nearly all to the trade, places in a most flourishing condition ; and we are warranted in believing that these large purchases are going into immediate consumption, so that there is no danger of the market presently flagging owing to 'any in crease of stock in the manufacturers' hands. The Eng lish funds had risen four points on Saturday, in London, above the closing prices of this day week, the only quo tation of Consols, for money and account, having been 864 to 87. The SHARE market has been quiet during the past week, but a large amount of stock has been taken off the mar ket by the public. TO-DAY there has been more anima tion, and prices have advanced. There have been good buyers of Midlands all day, and of the guaranteed stocks. The former close 814 34, Half-shares 94 a dis. ; London 116 18, Quarter-shares a 1 pm. Tae Midland statement is to be issued this evening, and it is said will show a minimum dividend of 6 per cent. An epoch in the PROVISION trade, particularly locally considered, is of no little importance when the large amount of the AMERICAN article at present consumed in Liverpool is taken into consideration. We are now con cluding the old season, and entering upon the new; and it becomes interesting at this period to know how far the trade has progressed or otherwise during the past year. We find that the consumption of Lard (saewn by the im ports into Liverpool, deducting present stock) from the Ist of January to the Ist November this year, has nearly doubled that of the corresponding period of last year; the relative amount in tons being 8,500 to 4,420. Prices have ranged from 60s. in January to 365. to 39t. in June, the lowest prices of the year, " which rates," says Messrs. Black and Baxter, in their valuable summary, published on Thursday last, "Being considered extremely low, and such as enabled Soap and Candle Manufacturers to use it to advantage; induced con sumers as well as speculators to stock themselves heavily, causing from this period till the middle of September a rise of 4s. to ss. per cwt. The very heavy stocks and the consequent low price of Butter, I owever, had the effect, at this season, of interfering cons'derably with, the consumption of Lard, and the result was a second decline to nearly the extent of the rise, so that at the beginning of the present month, prices had again receded to 375. to 40s. per cwt. This reduction caused a re newed demand for consumption as well as Chandlery purposes, and about is. 6d. of the decline has already been recovered— the price of fair barrel Lard being at this date 395. to 41s. per cwt. We have no reason to doubt that we shall be able to get through any additional quantity of Lard that may probably be received from America during the coming season—the question of consumption or non-consumption being merely one of price. Nor do we anticipate that excess in imports will result in prices much, if at all, below the present ones, as with Tallow and Palm Oil at average rates, any reduction from the present value would ensure its extensive consumption by Soap and Candle Manufacturers." We take the articles seriatim, and quote from the before-mentioned circular such portions as bear directly upon the present prices and immediate prospects of this branch of commerce : "Throughout the whole of 1848, the value of Bacon re mained at more moderate figures than in 1847—the price of the choicest Eastern having seldom exceeded 545. per cwt., and good ordinary qualities of Western 50s. to 535.. Indeed, on the whole season the value of the latter description maintained an average figure of not more than 40s. per cwt., by which means an extensive consumption has been kept up, and we have been enabled to get through nearly three times the import of 1847 onr stocks at this moment being under 70 tons—thus affording a striking proof of the ability of our working classes to consume such a description of food, to a greatly increased extent, by any important concession in price. Moreover, we believe the past year to have been much more successful to the majority of parties engaged in the American Bacon trade than the pre vious one—a consideration that is likely . to increase rather than diminish the production of the article in the year to come. We may mention that the first parcel of new American Bacon has just been received per `Richard Alsop,' from New York, and sold by us yesterday at 535. per cwt. The quality was in every respect superior, and the enterprise shown in having new meat in our market at so early a date is well deserving of a favourable result to the shippers. " Hams of American cure, we regret to say, cannot be re ported to have improved generally in almost any respect. The strong harsh flavour accompanying the greater portion of those yet received has been a decided bar to their general introduction here. The consequence is that for a considerable portion of the past two years American Hams have been nearly unsaleable in this market, although our imports were conti nually decreasing, and English as well as Irish Hams in good demand at long prices. Nor do we anticipate any change until some decided improvement be exhibited in their manufacture. "Shoulders, as they are only taken for the quantity of Bacon to be found on them, are very much regulated in price by the value of that article. At low figures, say under 2.35. per cwt., they are generally saleable, but any important rise above that currency is almost sure to cut off their consumption." " The late prices obtainable for Pork being considerably under the quoted American value, the imports have so very materially decreased that we are at present out of stock. On the other hand, our stocks of Prime Mess are unusually heavy, but the great bulk is of a very low description, being chiefly composed of manufactured Bacon, cut up into four pound pieces, and quite unsuitable for the only purpose for which this kind is required, ships' stores. The fact that our mercantile navy is to a very great extent dependent on the American article, is a fair guarantee that a choice description will, gene rally speaking, find a market here at fair remunerating rates, and such we recommend invariably for importation. " We have received less Beef in 1848 then in 1847 by 3966 cwt, and than in 1846 by 60,054 cwts.,—rather surprising facts, when we consider that our Irish supply has been also very trifling, and that both the royal and the mercantile navies are the chief consumers of the article. This deficiency is the mere to be wondered at, too, since the trade is understood to lie highly remunerative to packers, and can only be accounted for by the supposition that Bacon, Pork and Lard have to a great extent, monopolised the attention of the West ern curers. We believe, however, that the consequences of our continued high rates will be a considerable increase in the supply during the year to come; nor will this supply be from America alone, for, at any thing like present prices, the Irish curer can operate advantageously, and will doubtless endeavour to obtain a footing in a field that was once so exclu sively his own. "This being only little more than the commencement of the season for importing Cheese, we can only say that we are gra tified to find a very decided improvement in the make, quality, and condition of the parcels yet received. We are led to be lieve that the quantity now coming forward is likely to prove greater than we have ever had in any previous year. This is, to a certain extent, a guarantee that prices are not likely to rule higher than the present moderate figures, by which' means we have no doubt that any reasonable increase in the import will easily find its way to consumption. " Large as the share of the American Provision trade is, that has heretofore fallen to Liverpool, we have no doubt that, in future, a still . greater proportion will come to the Mersey. The facilities for importation existing between America and this port, and its central position with reference to the other parts of the kingdom, combine to render it a desirable depot for the receipt of Provisions from that country. Indeed, we are well aware that on these grounds several of the London and Irish importers have already arranged to receive their goods via this port, in the season to come. We have no doubt that this plan will be found to answer well, as a short sea voyage is of considerable importance to the proper condition of provisions ; and from Liverpool to any district of the kingdom where such goods may be required, daily means of transit exist." The following are the current prices : — Cheese—(duty paid)—Fine, 46s to 52s per cwt. ; middling, 39s to 45s ; ordinary, 30s to 38s. Beef—U.S. (free)—Prime mess, per tree. 3041 b., 85s Od to 88s Od ; ordinary, 805 to 828 6d, old —s to —s; extra, India, family, &c., —s to —s; ditto, per half-barrel, 26s 6d to 38s ;—mess, per barrel, 2001 b., —s to —s ; ordinary, 40s to 465, old —s to —s; prime, 38s to 408.

With increasing stocks, holders of Tarsi' Butter are desirous to sell, and a further reduction has been con ceded of Is. to 2s. on best qualities, and 24. to 3s. on middling and inferior; the latter kinds being very unsale able.—Both old and new Bacon met a better enquiry ; but Lard continues dull. The accounts from the manufacturing districts have again improved since our last, from Manchester particu larly, of which we make especial mention, as largely in fluencing our COTTON market here, which has firmly " held its own" during the week, and was very animated on Saturday, when a large trade demand was experienced, and the middling qualities of American continued to stiffen in price : the sales were 8000 bales, comprising 7150 American, 50 Pernam at 5d., 300 Maranham at nrt. 4 1 d., 100 Egyptian at sd. 63-d., and 400 Surat at 2id. 3.1(1. To-DAY another 8000 bales have been disposed of-6350 American, 200 Pernam at sd. 54d., 400 Maranham at 44- id., 50 Egyptian at 51d., and 1000 Surat at 20. 3td. The market has been again firm ; middling American and Surat (the latter owing to damage to the crop having caused a large advance in India) both rather dearer. — The particulars respecting the exports and receipts at the ports of the United States will be found under our Ame rican intelligence. Our Coax trade has exhibited no new feature since Friday ; prices remain the same, and speculations as to the probable complexion of to-morrow's market are very conflicting. Certain it is, that the total amount of arri vals within the last two or three days, and up to the time of commencing business operations in the morning, will be very considerable, which, added to the decline reported in all the English markets during the past week, may render it difficult to maintain the reduced rates of Friday, if holders be at all pressing into the market. Some ex ception may be made with reference to Indian Corn; the stocks in Ireland are reported very low, with an increased demand (except at Belfast), and an advance in price, par ticularly at Cork, where a rise took place on Friday last of about ss. per ton over the rates obtained in the early part of the week. The imports into Liverpool reported on Friday and Saturday comprise :—Wheat, from Ireland 1217 qrs., coastwise 451, Europe 4991; Barley, Ireland 226 qrs., coastwise 549, Europe 200; Malt, Ireland 30 qrs., coastwise 172 ; Oats, Ireland 4587 qrs. ; Beans, Ireland 421 qrs., Europe 55 ; Pease, coastwise 190 qrs., Europe 479 ; Indian Corn, United States 1228 qrs. ; Oatmeal, Ireland 3996 Ids. ; Flour, Ireland 1717 sacks, coastwise 1050 sacks, United States 985 brls. Exports : Wheat, coastwise 87 qrs. ; Beans, coastwise 56 qrs.; In dian Corn, Ireland 2595 qrs., coastwise 227 ; Indian Corn Meal, Ireland 40 brli. ; Flour, Ireland 61 sacks 210 brls., coastwise 114 sacks 171 brls. There is nothing new to report in the Wool. market ; no imports from abroad, and only 225 from Scotland. Business continues very dull; but should the public sales which commenced in London on Thursday go off satis factorily, there is no doubt but it will give more confi dence to the trade, and that after they are closed we shall have more doing. Scotch has been operated in to a li mited extent. On Saturday and TO-DAY there has been an increasing demand for Sugar, at stiff prices. In Molasses there is riot much doing. Tea and coffee are also quiet ; the lat ter article has been so now for a length of time. The sales of Rum are to a fair extent, at low prices. There is more doing in the low qualities of Rice; 9/3 was bid for some small broken, which w4s taken in at 9/6. Of Salt peire our stock is small ; and as the quantity coming for ward is trifling, this article is attracting more attention. The accounts from India and China are much in favour of SILK. Messrs. Chaloner and Fleming state that, since their report on the 10th instant, there have been no arrivals of TIMBER cargoes from British America. Ihe sales of the week consist of one cargo of Quebec Pine, at Is. 2d. per foot ; the pieces of the other articles are not known. Of St. John's, B(c., Spruce Deals, one cargo of good quality was sold at £6 7s. 6d. per standard, and a cargo from Wallace at £6 2s. 6d. per standard. Qf Yellow Pine Deals, a cargo of Bathurst was sold at £8 10s. per stand ard, and a large parcel of Quebec, chiefly second quality, at £8 per standard. Of Baltic Timber, a large cargo of third middling Danzig was sold at ls. 3d. per foot, and a cargo of white Fir from same place at ls. 3d. per foot. There has been no sale of St. John Yellow Pine Timber ; and of a cargo of Dalhousie sold the price has not tran spired. Scotch Pig IRON is offered here at 41/6 @ 42/, mixed numbers, f.o.b. at Glasgow. Glengarnock and Summer.. lee have been sold at 49/, f.o.b. here. The improvement in the mining share market continues to progress, notwithstanding the depression of copper ore. The ad vance on tin has given an impulse to mines connected with that metal, and several new ones are in course of de velop ement. The return from the Bank of Engtand for the week ending the 11th of November gives some striking changes in the items of public deposits on the one side, and Go vernment securities on the other, which would seem une quivocally to indicate a purchase on the part of the Bank of about £700,000 out of the loan of £2,000,000 which, during the last session of Parliament, the Chancellor of the Exchequer received authority to issue. The increase in the public deposits amounts to £1,422,643, being much: beyond the usual ratio of progression at this period ; while the addition to the Goveinment securities held by the Bank is £560,000, which would represent nearly £700,000 of Three per Cent. stock. The general results, when compared with the previous week, are as follows: Public deposits, .e 4,038,270 ; Increase, £1,422,643 Other deposits, 13,648,047 ; Decrease, 147,348 Rest, 3,418,745 ; Increase, 3,229 , On the other side of the account : Government securities, 113,329,012 ; Increase, 1_560,000 Other securities, .. 10,758,237 ; Decrease, 47,324 Notes unemployed, .. 8,894,875 ; Increase, 652,300 The amount of notes in circulation is £18,066,330, being a decrease of £487.755 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £13,678,764, showing an increase of £271,211, when compared with the preceding return. At Bombay business in imparts had materially fallen off. Money continued easy. Freights to Liverpool £2 10s. At Calcutta the demand for manufactured goods con tinued, and a fair amount of sales had taken place at full prices. Money continued in good supply. There had been but little variation in the course of our exchanges, which continue at 1.9 - to 1-9.1 for document bills at six months' sight. American credits are extremely scarce. Government has announced that from the Ist of Nov. next bills taken by the East India Company, covered by goods under hypothecation, must be at six months' sight, instead of ten months date as heretofore. At Canton an advance bad taken place in Cotton, caused by an increased demand for foreign staple, in consequence of the partial failure of the native crop. The market for Congou was exceedingly dull, until the arrival of the steamer, when some reaction took place. Little was doing in exchange. On London a few good bills at six months' sight had been disposed of at 4s. Id. to 4s. 2d. At Shanghae the rate for similar bills was 3s. 11id. Freights from Shanghae were nominally at £4 10s. By the Columbus, which arrived here yesterday, we have advices to Pernambuco to the 10th October. The exchange on London was 24d. per 1000 rs. at 60 days. Freight to Liverpool, Sugar, £2 ss. The letters from tiamburgh afford a pretty correct key to the state of affairs on the continent : they mention that bills generally on London were in demand, and also on Breslau. Berlin, and Leipsic; but that Prague and Vienna continued nominal: money was abundant, and stocks and railway shares were firm. The Belgian advices allude to proposals laid before the Chamber of Representatives by the Government for further modification in the suger duties, through which it is anticipated the revenue derived from that source may be augmented from 3,000,000 f. to 4,000,000 f. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (By EXPRESS.) LONDON MONEY MARKET.—YEsTrunAy. Consols commenced at 87 to it, and soon after a number of their accounts were bought in, which advanced the quotation to sii, at which they were for a moment nearly buyers. Since these operations were completed, there has been a slight re action to 87i a, at which they now stand. The price for money still kept tully equal to that for the adcount. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been done at BGi, the Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. 86i to 1, India Stock 232; the June Ex chequer-bills 37 40, the March 43, and India Bonds 39. LONDON CORN MARKET .-YESTERDAY, At this day's market there *as but a short supply of English Wheat, and in the few sales which took place a reduction of Is. to 2s. per qr. had to be submitted to. The demand for foreign was dull and disappointing, and at a decline of ls. per qr. only lirnited transactions resulted. Float ing cargoes are held for nearly as much money, which checked business. Several cargoes of Indian Corn having changed hands during the past week, and some of the Irish letters quoting an improvement in the sale of this article, importers demand Is. per quarter more money. Malting Barley Is. to 25., and grinding Is. cheaper. Malt 2s. lower, but Beans and Pease are without change in value. The arrivals of foreign Oats continue too abundant for our present demand, and, in addition to the reported quantity, about a dozen Irish and a few more foreign vessels got up this morning during market hours. All descriptions, except old foreign, were freely offered at a further reduction of Is: per qr., at which decline buyers took only sparingly, for the supply of their present wants. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET. V- - ESTE RDAY. The primest Scots, &c., were quite 2d. per Bth. lower than on this day se'nnight, while the inferior breeds were difficult to sell, though offered at 4d. per Sib. less money. At the close of the market nearly 500 beasts were turned out unsold. Large numbers of foreign Beast. and Sheep continue to be disposed - of privately, rather than run the risk of this market. To show the prevailing heaviness here, we may observe that beef is selling at from Bd. to ls., mutton 4d. to Bd., veal Bd. to ls., and pork 2d. to 6d. per 81b. less money than at the corre sponding period in 1817, when the supplies, as a whole, were equal to those now brought forward. Notwithstanding the supply of Sheep was less than that shown last week, it was more than equal to the wants of the buyers. For all breeds the demand ruled heavy, at a fall in value of 2d. per 81bs. The highest figure for the best old Downs, which were very scarce, was only 4s. 10d. per 8 lbs. Scarcely any English Calves were on show. yet the Veal trade was dull at barely the late depression in the quotations. There was a slight improvement in the sale for the best Pigs, at full prices ; otherwise the Pork trade was exceedingly heavy. There were about 40 on sale from Ire'and. NEW DEFINITIONS.

Captain Grimston and his lady, who honoured the theatre with their presence. The comedy of the " Honey Moon" was well played. A very laughable interlude followed, called " Miles's Boy," in which Mr. Pilgrim, as the hero, a mischievous but good-natured Irishman, keeps the house in a roar of laughter. He has a good brogue and the best Irish face we have seen for a long time. The applause at the fall of the curtain was tremendous. Mr. Pilgrim was honoured with a call before the curtain. The Middle Temple," in which Mr. Widdicomb played to great ad vantage, and a very good ballet, finished the night's amusements. SLEEP.—The Poet Young says, "Sleep is great Nature's second course—the balm of hurt minds." Johnson says, "It is the parenthesis of human woe." Sleep being thus appreciated by mankind, how des' sought we to be that all should tranquilly enjo weet repose," the general obstruction to wide • rough an unhealthy action of the liver or of viscera. A little attention to the " young disc ," by having recourse to a mild E perient, often produ es a most salutary effect, and for such purpose Frampton's Pill of Health stands prominent in public opinion. PARRICIDE.—On Monday, the inhabitants were alarmed by a report that Mr. Oliver Luck, farmer, had been mur dered by his daughter Betsey. The only persons in the room at the time of the occurrence were the unfortunate deceased and his daughter, aged 35, who lies been an idiot from her infancy. On the day in question the servant girl went into the daughter's bedroom to dress her, when she refused to get up. In consequence of this the girl told her master, who immediately went up stairs, and as soon as he got into the room he began scolding her, when it is conjectured she pushed him backwards, and in falling it is supposed his head came into contact with a beam, as the only mark found upon him was a large contused wound on the back of the head. He soon died.—Sussex Express. 'VOICE OF THE TENCH.—In the sp ring of 1823, I re ceived from a friend a brace of tench just taken from the water. They were deposited by the cook in a dish, and placed upon a very high shelf in the larder, a room situate between the dining parlour and cooking kitchen. On the following midnight, whilst writing in the dining room, to which I had removed in consequence of the extinction of the fire in the library, my attention was suddenly excited by a deep, hollow, protracted groan, such as might be supposed to proceed from a large animal in extreme distress. It was twice or thrice repeated ; and all my efforts to discover the source of the alarming sound were ineffectual. At length my ear was startled by a loud splash, succeeded by a groan more deep and long-continued than those which I had previously heard, and evidently proceeding from the larder. Inspection of that room quickly explained the mystery. One of the fishes had sprung down from the shelf on the stone floor, and there lay with mouth open, and pectoral and ventral fins extended, and uttering the sounds by viNfrvii night labours had been so unexpectedly intpr- 1- 41 day both fishes were cooked for dinner (art tenacity of life in the tench, that allp4`tt had then elapsed since th e i r remove 15,,snAsb element, both fishes, a fte r h a ving undetkodt" of scaling and evisceration, sprang vigpirc" pot of hot water when consigned to it itv , to: 'nucleated by Dr. Shirley Palmer to tYieB Q ti b,„ 7r),, ' 4 41 I► l l , , s knit traux wo rviK mid- wruilted.slizi j, , , _ 14 1 41414P-M4h j es.„__ r- A r4thtV , °, t uts'% - :7\ \ mitei aity,ls.,:, -; p Pit ', PTilicA(o, , g:: .‘..0 0k.1_taitr..,:,.,,, ~ „T..) ..,„..; ,/ 1 .1 i LI Vrr . : ' f .. w */'
