PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, Dec. 7.—The demand for beef does not improve,
and the sales for the week are again much below the average ; for
ordinary qualities a reduction of 3s to 58. per tierce, would be
submitted to, but fine qualities are firmly held. The small stock
of American pork and the want of assortment restrict operations.
Irish is offered at lower prices. The market for bacon generally
wears a downward appearance, both English and Irish being
lower ; nevertheless, the early arrivals of new American will meet
a ready sale, the dealers being quite eager for a small snpply to
begin with. The sales of lard are reported at 25 tons. The stock
is very small, and holders are firm. For fine cheese the demand
is moderately active, but other sorts move slowly.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Mrs. Nicholls, of Longton, had been
a sufferer for years from a troblesome cough, shortness of breath,
and a constant lassitude of feeling, rendering her unwilling to
move or attend to her domestic duties; she had the advice of
several medical practitioners, without deriving any benefit what-
ever; shortly afterwards, about the meridian of life, her various
complaints settled into a confirmed dropsy, and no hopes what-
ever were entertained of her life; however, by a steady perseve-
rance in the use of Holloway's Pills, she soon improved in health,
and is now completely recovered, being better than ever she was
before.

The intelligent portion of the public can no longer remain
inattentive to the convincing personal evidence which has been,
given by fifty thousand respectable individuals, as to the extraor-
dinary cures effected by Messrs. Du BARRY'S REVALENTA ARA-
RICA Foon, after medicine bad utterly failed, or had, in many
cases, aggravated the original symptoms. If we designate the
discovery of this food as the greatest physical blessing which the
good fortune and ingenuity of an individual have yet conferred
upon the human species, we feel that we are speaking quite with-
in bounds • and we can only express our hopes, for the sake of
society at large, that the use of this inestimable preparation may
become as universal as its capacities for good are certain and in-
exhaustible. For further particulars we refer our readers to
Messrs. Du Barry's advertisement in our to•day's columns.
IMPORTANT CAUTION against the fearful dangers of spurious
imitations .—The Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood granted
an Injunction on the 10th March, 1834, against Alfred Hooper
Nevin, for imitating "Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food."
