AND INHA BITANTS GENERALLY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. WLIME much may be done by •the Leesislature to. raise the health of - Society to its highest possible stan dard, the attainment of this desirable object is much more dependent upon the cultivation of individual health. The welfare of the social whole, is made up of the welfare of its parts. A becoming attention to personal health, then, is an important means of advancing the great cause of Sanatory Reform ; and this attention cannot be more beneficially directed than to the correction of all irregularities in the functions of , the Digestive organs, and to the removal of the fi rst symptom's of the many dangerous and fatal disorders which cut short, and render painful, the existence of man. These objects can only be attained by the use of medicinal agents ; and we respectfully inform you that we are the proprietors of one which, for twenty years, has been most celebrated. MOXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN is the most agreeable and efficient medicine ever discov ere d, containing all the properties a the best Saline Purgatives, with the palatable qualities of a glass of SODA WATER, Pleasant from its effervescing form, febrifuge in its influence on the stomach and system, certain in its operation on the bowels, whenever a purgative is required, this elegant preparation is tiie best that can be used. It is especially adapted for the relief of Habitual or Casual Costiveness, Bilious Affections. Indigestion, Heartburn, Pains in the Head, Lowness of Spirits, Nausea, Irritation of the Stomach and Bowels, Piles, Fistula, the effects of excess either in eating or drinking, &c., and, by its occasional use during the summer months, for the prevention of those serious dis orders, Cholera, Diarrhtea, and Dysentery. Thousands of those who, from habits of life, or hereditary constitution, are subject to that painful and, in the end, dan gerous disorder, the GOUT, have found astonishing relief from the use of this preparation. If taken regularly, its cooling, antacid, and corrective properties will altogether prevent the accession of this disorder : and, if taken during the fit, will speedily relieve the pain and limit its duration. Many Medical Authors of great celebrity have recommended it for this pur pose. Extracts from their works, and many other testimo nials, are contained in the bill wrapped round each bottle. Visitors to Harrowgate, Cheltenham, Leamington, Bath, and other Spas, find it to be of great service in assisting the opera tion of the waters. It is sold in bottles at 2s. Pd., 4s. 6d., and 1 Is., the latter containing five of the first size.

The ivory halls so elaborately carved, mid the ingenuity with which they are constructed, have long excited admiration, and surprise at the artistic skill and means by which so many concentric balls can he carved one within the other. I know not whether any one else has made the discovery, but the truth is, that each ball is constructed of two pieces., the edges of which are so finely scraped dawn, that the edge of one hemisphere is made to overlap its counterpart with the greatest nicety. Thus one ball is easily enclosed within another. The joinings are then united by a pecu liarly strong cement, aided by the employment of steam and pressure. Any one who wishes to make the expen sive trial will soon ascertain the fact by applying a very powerful heat to one of these balls, which will open at the Joints in due time.--Dablin University Magazine. BRENNAN, TILE lIIGHWAYMAN. -- Brennan died by the rope. He was hanged in the town of Clonmel, in or about the year 1808, together with an accomp li ce ca ll e d " The White Pedlar." We remember the oemsion well. The member for Tipperary, the Hon. Montague Matthew, a brother of the late Lord Liandaff, strongly interested himself to procure a remission of his sentence for the convict. It was his belief that he might be effectually reclaimed from his dangerous courses, and render good service to sceiety by his active exertions as a police officer. The Duke of Richmond was Lord Lieutenant at that time—and, when the county member vehemently pressed his suit, is said to have answerrol him, " will consent t o your proposal upon one 01(111ion." " What is that ?" eagerly interposed Mr. Matthew, deterinieed that no trifle should stand bet wc en him and the object of his wishes. " That ye l l," said the jocose viceroy, " should he hanged in ilk stead." Of Brennan, an anecdote was then current, which proves him to have been as ready-witted, as he was held eating. An old banker of Clonmel, Solomon Watson, as led by cariosity to visit I.nn in his (-odium - ma. Arcunan ob served to him that he. of all men, should Hot rejoice in his misfortunes. " Why so ?" asked f 3 Amnon ; " why should not I, as welt as all ether honest ao peaceable citizens, rj , tice in the capture of so dangerous a charac ter as vee ?

It was upon a first of August that England, in her generosity, gave freedom to her negroes. The day is a blessed one in the calendar of the Black, The glorious anniversary has never once passed in , Jamaica without finding the liberated man happier than he had been during all the months and days preceding it. A fortnight before its .Mvent, the approach of the precious day was already,idisible in the accelerated movements and happier toueof the labourer's spirits. The interval was a jocund one; every negro, however poor, laid in his little stockfor - the auspicious day, and gratitude overflowed in virtuous , merriment. The scene and the actor are no longer the same; both are bctiumked by the cold cloud.tbat passes over them. "In 18.15," dismally writes - an authority on the spot, "KO ONE CAN AFFORD TO BE HAPPY." Sad and bitter words, unnatural, and unacceptable to the ear of God. The first of August, 1848, differed in no respect. we are told, from the day that went before and the day that followed it : yet its gloom was intolerable. For the first time silu hypocrisy and falsehood of the great gift was suspected. The day reminded the sable sons of the for mer benevolence of their rulers ; it also brought more poignantly home the melancholy reflection that - Christian England has become the great nourisher of slavery, and that their own tenure of freedom has, by England's act. lost the value of a solitary year's purchase. To save pence, Great Britain has perpetuated the tortures of. - the African. The dark labourers in the distant isles were. conscious of the dreadful fact, and meeting their brethren, refused to rejoice. The fiat had gone forth. The accu mulated sufferings of negro slaves had already been com municated. Cuba was alive with shrieksi and red with blood. "In 1848, NO ONE COULD, AFFORD TO BR_ HAPPY." But more than this ! Ruin has taken possession of the- British West Indies. Jemaim is prostrate ; business in that island is at an end ; the population is starving. Negroes thrown out of employment, in order to live have taken to the trade of fruit selling. The market, debiged with fruit, yields no return to the sellers. Those who should be purchasers, not of their fruit, but of their ho. nest labour, bewildered and dismayed, think less of England than of the United States; and to think of the stars and stripes, is to seal the doom of those who till now have thanked Heaven on their knees for the blissful first of August. Can we wonder that "in 1818," and on the island of Jamaica, " so ONE CAN A F FORD TO BE. HAPPY ?" LATEST INTELLMENCE. (ny EXPRESS.): LONDON CORN MARKET. —YESTERDAY. The supply of Wheat this morning by land-carriage samples from Essex was good ; th at f rom Kent was but moderate. The condition of a large portion of the Essex white Whrat was supe rior to that of last week, which eiabled factors to obtain fully the rates of Monday last. Inferior runs were a heavy sale at that day's quotations. In free foreign Wheat the transactions were limited to the ackal wants of the millers, who had to pay the extreme value of last week. Very little business was done in bonded or floating cargoes. Barley sold on about the same terms as last week. The fresh arrivals of Oats have been un important in amount, and the trade ruled dull at previous prices. Beans and Peas were un a lt ere d i n value. The top price of town-made Flour remains nominally the same as last quoted ; but ship and country marks were difficult of disposal, with the turn in price in favour of the buyer. smmin CAVTI.F. MARKET.—YESTERDAY. For Beef perhaps our top quotation is rather more freely given for the best qualities. There area few more Sheep, but the average quality not so good; trade is exceedingly dull, and late prices with difficulty suppnrted, except a few choicest de scriptions. Calves are rather dearer, the supply being shorter. Good Pigs are in demand at higher prices. OUTRAGES IN TIPPERARY.—On the 30th ult., Capt. Scully, rattive of the M.P. for Tipperary, and of the Mr. Scully who was shot soale, years since near Cashel, together with M. James Scully, Lis son, and a servant named Carroll, drove twenty-five head of cattle into a farm, the property of the late Mr. E. Scully. The pos session of this farm was in dispute, and a ease-taker, who held it for the other claimant, attempting to prevent the entrance of the cattle, was fired at, wounded, and his life is despaired of. Informations have been taken against all the above-named parties. Tuu CURRENCY IN CnneA.--China has but one coin peculiar to herself, which is totally inadequate, not only foryaercantile purposes, but for domestic accommodation. This is a copper one called "cash," which is a circular piece of money about the size of our farthine, and of half • its weight, and therefore about half its thickness. In the centre is a square hole, for the convenience of stringing them together, and on the coin certain characters are in scribed in relief. Incredible as it may appear, there are an immense quantity of spnrioes " cash" in circulation. These coin are strung together in Hundreds, and com monly twenty in each hundred are bad. When a shop keeper is asked why he mixes this had coin, which he will not receive back main, he nnswere, be does not know, but it is " China custom." I have heard of one place in the.. interior of China where there are none but. spurious cash in circulation.—Dublin University Magazine.
