I had been troubled with a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief, when, by your recommendation, I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of which were soon visible, for one large box (2s. 9d.) has quite cured me.

Mrs. Armitage. who is at present in this town, is certainly an extraordinary instance of muscular de velopement. It has wittingly, but somewhat ungallantly been si id that a woman is the reverse of her mirror—that the ore reflects without talking—the other talks without re flecting. The qualities of cold water, as a tonic, are, that it c.)l - the stomach, and strengthens it for the labour which it is intended to perform ; whereas alcohol, which is an irritant, aids in weakening or expanding its fibros. SINGULAR FACT.—lnsects are actuated by feelings somewhat similar to those possessed by the higher animals —they rob and spoil, defend their homes, are jealou3, re vengeful, and disputative and war in armies. Thus bees, if the meat of one hive be spent, assail their next neigh bours, with intent to rob and spoil them of their provi sions; the white ants have a portion of their community set apart for the duties of war, and they exhibit a most perfect form of insect tactics.

They all squatted down on the floor, the men on one side and the women on the other. Mr. L. who is thoroughly conver sant with the Oorial language, now entered into conver sation with them, asking them questions and hearing all they had to say. They appear to have a very good know ledge of true religion, and to be very earnest and sincere. It was most interesting to see them all sitting so quietly with their eyes fixed on Mr. L.'s face, never attempting to interrupt either him or one another, but speaking one at a time, in a low reverent tone of voice. When asked a question they would pause a moment in deep thought before they answered. After a little time one or two inquirers came in, that is, men who are not yet converted, but are inquiring about Christianity, or arguing concern ing it, and collnparing it with their own religion. These pastes in any direction Amid ti ants very sat dOwn and behaved themselves in the same decorous Christians. Mr. L. very judiciouslic encouraged the converts to argue run the inquirers, anu it was most easing to observe lie pertec the restrained gestures of both parties when talking on so holy a subject, every eye fixed upon the two disputants, and when a pause occurred, some other convert gently putting in a word in support of the holy truth : Inquirer You say God gave you the Bible ; I say God gave us the Shasters.

RAWLINS, JUN., LATE SECRETARY TO THE ANTI-MONOPOLY ASSOCIATION. Last evening, a very select company, composed of the most influential members of the late Anti-monopoly As sociation of Liverpool, sat down to a most sumptuous dinner, at Mr. Lynn's, the Waterloo Hotel, the occasion of their being met together being to present to Mr. Raw lins, their late active secretary, a beautiful silver salver, and other splendid articles of silver, as a testimony of their sense of the great services rendered by him to the cause of free trade. William Brown, Esq., M.P., occu pied the chair, Messrs. T. Thornley, M.P., and Richard Shiel, officiating as vice-chairman. The gentleman, in whose honour the dinner was provided, occupied the seat to the right of the chair, Wm. Rathbone, Esq. being seated on the left. Amongst the company present we noticed also Messrs. Jas. Mellor, Rawlins, sen., C. Paulett, C. Rawlins, R. C. Rawlins, Chas. Holland, S. T. Hobson, T. J. Crooke, J. B. Cooke, M. J. Whitty, R. W. Ronald, J. Stitt, W. Freme, &c. The dinner was on the table a few minutes after six o'clock, and consisted of all the delicacies of the season, accompanied by an ample portion of the requisite solids, all of which were prepared and served up in the style for which this hotel is celebrated. The wines also were of excellent vintage, and of the Waterloo punch we need not say a word. The room in which the dinner was given was lighted up with candelebra, and looked well through out the evening. fter the cloth was drawn, and a number of letters of apology for non-attendance read, the Chairman gave " The Queen," which was drunk with the usual honours. The:next toast was " Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family," after which the army and navy followed, and the chairman then proceeded to give the toast of the evening, " Mr. Charles Edward Rawlins, jun." In introducing the toast, the Chairman referred to the diffi culties which had been exnerienced at first in their attempts to enlighten the public mind as to the advantages of free trade, and dwelt upon the great assistance which had been rendered to the cause by the exertions of Mr. C. E. Rawlins, jun. After a few comments upon the prospects of free trade, the chairman introduced the object for which they had met together, as the most pleasing - for which they could 1- -- -‘csing a be assembled; and after y high encomium upon the excellence of design and t which had heen shown by Mr. Mayer in executing the service of plate to be presented, he read a written descrip tion of the various articles, which, however, as we have so recently described them in our columns, we shall not here repeat. The chairman concluded a very neat speech, by tendering the plate to Mr. Rawlins. MR. T. THORNLEY, M.P. begged, before the health of Mr. Rawlins was drunk, to say a few words, and proceeded to pay a very flattering tribute to that gentleman. The toast was then drunk standing, with protracted cheers Mr. RAwLiNs then rose to reply, evidently under the influence of great emotion, and assured the meeting that he had faced the unbroken hosts of monopoly with far less misgiving than he faced them on this occasion, to return them his thanks for the enduring work of art with which they had complimented him.. He felt that too much credit had been given to him, and too little to the friends around him with whom he bad worked ; and particularly he referred to the exertions of Mr. Thorneley, which, in London especially, had been most valuable, as well as in the country. He dwelt also on the eminent services rendered by Mr. Brown, who had brought to the cause both the zeal of the missionary and the knowledge of a world-wide commercial experience. Mr. Heyworth and Mr. Holland had also contributed material assistance to the cause, as had Mr. Rathbone, Mr. Blackburn, and Mr. C. Robertson. They had also been under obligations to the council of the association for onerous duties per formed in writing and distributing addresses, written and oral, in a number of places ' • and in eradicating the fallacies with which the subject of Free Trade was sur-• rounded. Mr. Rawlins also referred to the sssistance which he had received from Mr. James Harvey and others. Having entered into a brief apology for the working thus far of Free Trnde policy, Mr. Rawlins expressed once more in very feeling terms his thanks for his flattering reception and the handsome testimonial presented to him ; and concluded by proposing the members for the county. W. BROWN, Esq ,nllaa alto M. T-Tcrn repiied for himself and his fective speech. A number of other toasts were given, which protracted a very satisfactory evening's enjoyment to an hour too late to enable us, with our other engage ments, to_extend our report beyond its present length. The following were amongst the remaining toasti : " The National Anti-Corn-law League.

But about toe trees cling huge snake-like vines, winding round and round the trunks, and through the branches, sending their long arms, binding tree to tree. Sometimes they throw down long feelers, which swing in mid air until they reach the ground, when, tak ing root, they in their turn throw out arms that cling to the first support. In this way the whole forest is linked together, and a cut tree rarely falls without involving the destruction of many others. This creeping vine is called sepaw, and, having the strength and flexibility of rope, is of inestimable value in the construction of houses, and for various other purposes.
