And if 16 stamps are sent, he will return the sth edition of his large work, 12 CHAPTERS on the CURE of NERVOUS o r MIND COMPLAINTS, with a Chapter on Self-management. This work is declared by Professor Savage, Surgeon, to be the best book we have on Nervousness. At home from 11 to 3. This GREAT ANATOMICAL DISCOVERY was followed by his second great discovery. The means of removing all Ner vous or Mental Disease. By these discoveries he cured himself of a deep rooted Nervous Complaint of 14 years duration. And, as 30 years ago nobody could cure these complaints, or can now, blit himself, he has for 30 years cured them from benevo lence rather than gain; and, out of 14,000 nobles, nobleses, M.P.'s, admirals, generals, barristers, clergymen, physicians, surgeons, tradesmen, &c. &c., he I - 's not 20 uncured who have followed his advice. All efore may now apply per sonally, or by letter, with e confidence of a cure than of tooth ache, and especiall mental depression, debility and exhaustion, delusions, ood to the head, vertigo, groundless fear, failure of me y, incapacity for study, business, &c., inquietude, wret dness, indecision, melancholy, thoughts of self-destructi , involuntary blushing, blasphemous thoughts, sleeplessness, &c. Insanity can be cured with almost equal certainty. "THE GREATEST BENEFIT MAN CAN BESTOW ON HAN IS TO EASE AND HEAL HIS DISTRESSED MIND." This has been the delightful employment of the Rev. Dr. Willis Mosely for 30 years ; and among the thousands he has cured of Nervousness, lie with pleasure names a late Member of Parliament, who after having 30 physicians in vain for five years, avowed his cure, and presented the Doctor with a check of :6 4 250, and a niece of the late Lord Hill, who had been ner vous 30 years, Sir J.

THE POPULAR MEDICINE. THE following important testimony to the efficacy of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, has just 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 LIFE PILLS • I am just out. They are taking well, and I can assure you. they are doing an immensity of good ; every one who has tried them in affections of the Liver and the Stomach derive a great deal of benefit.—Yours, &c., " WILLIAM GILCHRIST, Apothecary and Surgeon." The extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus de scribed by an eminent physician, who says " After particular observation of the action of PARR!*- - PILLS I am determined in my opinion that the following of their true properties : " I , irst,—They increase the - mfength, while most other medi cines have a weakening e "t upon the-system, Let any one take from three to four r six pills every twenty-four hours, and, instead of Navin veakened, they will be found to have revived the anima - pmts, and to have imparted a lasting strength to the betty. " 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 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 be injurious instead of beneficial. " Foiirthly,—AsaTeneral 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 Londoii, 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 th ey d o , not hi ng but what is of vegetable origin.' With this ass urance t h e pub lic need have no fear of givinii%them a fair trial. " Fifthly,—There is no medicine 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 moat 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 asertion." Beware of spurious imitations of the above medicine. None are genuine unless the words "PARK'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 118., by all respectable Druggists and Patent Medicine Retailers throughout the kingdom.—Directions are given with each box.

This darkness has, however, been cleared away by the clever author of the above pamphlet, in which he explains his theory of cure in a very rational manner, and we feel certain that it will induce many to apply to Mr. Adams for his a:Ats assistance."—The Chronicle, Dec., 1846. " We cordially recommend all nervous persons to submit their cases to the skill of Mr. Adams, the author of a pamphlet on Mind or Nervous Complaints and Insanity."—Farmer'.- Journal, July, 1816. " A most useful and important pamphlet." cantile Journal, Sept.. 1846. " We recommend Mr. Adams to those of our readers who are nervous, and wish to be cured."—Bedford Times, Oct., 1846.

" What's house, or laud, or dress, or wine, or meat, " If one can't rest for pain —nor sleep —nor eat— " Nor go about in comfort ? Here's the question ; " What's all the world without a good digestion." By Indigestion is usually understood functional disturbance of the Stomach, Liver, &c. These organs are so intimately associated in reference to their action, and so reciprocally de pendent, that any disorder occurring in the one must implicate, more or less, the other. By way of illustration -:—suppose the liver to be torpid, and secreting less bile than usual—the bowels then become inactive from the less 'their appropriate stimu lus, and suffer accumulation ake place. Again :—as a consequence of this latter ndition the functions of the stomach also become disc red, and loss of appetite, nausea, and oppression supery e. At length from these multipli e d local errors, constitutional disturbance is set up, inducing various sympathettE nervous affections : the key to the alle viation of whick# the knowledge that disorder s o f th e di gest i ve organs are the initial acts in the production of such phe nomena. To the immediate subjects of these observations,. Mr. COCKLE'S COMPOUND ANTIBILIOUS PI LLS are especially recommended. By combining aromatic, tonic, and aperient properties, they remove all oppressive accumulations, regulate the secretion of the liver, strengthen the stomach, induce a healthy appetite, and impart tranquillity to the nervous system. Prepared by JAMES COCKLE, Surgeon and Apothecary, 18, New Ormond-street, London • and may be had of a ll re spectable Medicine Vendors, in Boxes, at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. fid. - Dr. Collier's Testimonial in favour of COCKLE'S PILLS, must be admitted to he 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 Dr. G. F. COLLIER, pub lished by Longman and Co._ . _ _ " It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the NEW PHARMACOPEIA) that we have no purgative medicines but what contains aloes ; yet we know that hwmorrhoidal per sons cannot bear aloes, EXCEPT it be in the form of Cockle's Pills, which chiefly consist of aloes, scammony, and colocynth, 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 combin e d, 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 unnissolved p ar ti c l es adhere to the mucous membrane of 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 COL .E, APOTHECARY," are en graved upon it in white letters, of without this mark of authen ticity none can possibly be genuine. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE.—The Journal des Debats of Saturday has another article on the food question of the most discou raging kind. LATEST FROM Rio DE JANEIRO, BAHIA, AND PER. NAMBUCO.—The new ship Seraphina ; Captain Taylor, arrived at this port on Thursday morning last, from Pa raiba, in thirty-one days and some hours, bringing the latest accounts yet received from the above -mentioned ports, viz. :—From Rio to 20th February, being six days later than by the packet ; Bahia to 29th February, being twenty-one days later than previous advices •' and Per nambuco to 4th March. Exchange at Rio 381 to 29 ; Bahia 291; Pernambuco 30. The Seraphina encountered head winds all the passage to the channel, with heavy weather during the past fortnight. The Beraza left Pa raiba two days previous to the departure of the Sera phina; and arrived here on Saturday. The Court will leave Windsor for Buckingham Palace this day. A number of men discharged from the public works entered Youghal, last week, and broke into the bakers' shops, carrying off quantities of bread. William Pinney, Esq.. was on Saturday elected, without opposition, member for East Somerset, in the room of the late Colonel Gore Langton. Mr. O'Connell arrived at Nevers on Easter Sunday. He was too ill to be able to go to chapel, and therefore, " with the permission of the Bishop, mass was celebrated in the apartment of the Lib era t or ," Of 671 schools in connection with the Congregational 4 Dissenting Union of England and Wales, 582 have re corded, in their returns to the general boars', that nothing has been done in those localities since the defeat of Sir James Graham's bill to advance the cause of education. Poverty and the opposition of the Church (?) are the principal reasons assigned. A DAMPER FOR MR. BAINES. - On Friday about eighty of the electors of Leeds had an interview with Mr. 'W. Aldam, the liberal member for that town. Mr. E. Baines was one of the number, and presented to the hon. gentleman a memorial, signed by only 800 electors, out of a constituency of 4,000, against the government education plan. Mr. Aldam said he would give the memorial his best attention, but he could not hold out the hope of going to the length of the principles which titre expressed in it. DEATH AT A BALL.-011 Tuesday a festive party given by Lieut.-Col. Fitzmaurice, at his residence in Berkeley street, Cheltenham, was shocked by the awfully sudden death of one of the guests, a young lady, named Quinelar, who had formerly been a governess in the family. The deceased had after supper danced a quadrille, and had just partaken of an ice, when she was suddenly taken ill, became insensible, and, though a medical gentleman was present as one of the party, she expired within a few minutes. EMIGRATION.—The tide of emigration from Ireland has set in. The report from Nenagh says, " thousands are leaving the country in every direction." On Thurs day and Friday upwaads of 1,000 emigrants left the port of Waterford. From the village of Castlecomer, Kil kenny, no less than 150 persons left for Quebec ; and it is said that the means of emigrating will be supplied to about 1,300 persons. Many of tha emigrants are of a respectable class, but numbers are also of a most wretched description. Cork, Derry, Limerick, Sligo—in short, all the seaports—are sending forth emigrants to America, in numbers never before approached. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLING £9ooo.—The Dublin City Grand Jury have found true bills against Mr. Henry Lananze, "for embezzling and converting to his own use £9OOO, the property of Mr. Clayton Brown, of Browne's hill, in the county of Carlow." The particulars of this case, which will come on for trial in a day or two, are shortly these :—The prosecutor, Mr. Browne, some years back, entrusted the traverser, Mr. Lananze, who was a most eminent stockbroker and notary public, carrying on business in College-green, with the sum of money in question, to invest in Government stock, which he lately found was not invested as directed, but lodged solely in his own name; in consequence of which he had the power of withdrawing it, and had withdrawn it, and converted it to his own use shortly previous to the failure of his business in January last. WHOLESOME ADVICE.—At the Roman Catholic Chapel in Tralee, on lady-day, the Rev. Dr. AVEnery is reported to have addressed the congregation as follows :—" Inter ested and designing knaves have told you you were the finest peasantry on earth ; those who told you so were im postors. You are a patient people, warm-hearted and religious ; but you are an unenlightened people, not half educated, and very few degrees removed from barbarism. * * * The time is arrived when you must help your selves and the first step to that is to till the ground. * * * Sympathizing nations feel your sufferings, and are ready to assist you. But if you do not shake off this apathy, this torpor, which seems to be taking possession of your very souls, and do all in your power to produce food for the next year, instead of exciting their sympathy, you will arouse their contempt, and you will become a by word to the nations of the earth, as a lazy, indolent, mean people, who would rather trust to the bounty of others than exert themselves." THE UNIVERSAL ECONOMIC BURNER.—The advancement of science is a subject to which we ever devote our most ardent attention; and nothing of late has given us more satisfaction, either in principle or in utility, than that of the universal burner, an invention that is not only scientific, but so eco rnises the use of gas as to render it publicly beneficial. Its adaption is entirely novel, the great feature of the patent being that of rarifying the gas previous to its being admitted to com bustion, which is a desideratum not hitherto attained. We shall describe this burner more minutely next week. In the meantime, our readers may see it burning in our publishing office. ELEerno SILVER.—There is no subject, we believe, less un derstood by the public generally, that, that connected with the recent improvement in electro-plate. The attempts that were made some years adoto imitate the sterling metal, prove d in a measure abortive, losing their colour, and becoming perf ectl y useless when submitted to acids ; i nvent i on , however, moving on the wing of time, has altered the position of m etals, the original plating on copper has been entirely dispensed with, and supplanted by the application of silver by a galvanic pro cess to a metal, the base of whicl, is composed of a purified material and of the same colour throughout, so that when the silver is worn 01T scarcely any difference in appearance is per ceptible. But as Air. Band, wh ose advertisement appears in another column, gives the fullest particulars, we refer our mar§ to him. . . • .r-- . _. , " OH. DEAR ! NOBODY POPS THE QUESTION !"
