RAPID CURE OF COUGH & DIFFICULTY OF BREATHING.
Hale, near Liverpool.
Sir,—l write to inform you of the great benefit I have received
from taking Locock's Wafers, which you recommended to me.
I was so much oppressed at my chest that when I lay down a
coughing fit came on with such violence that I have often thought
I should not live to see the morning; but now I can sleep a whole
night without coughing, after having taken only two boxes of
wafers. _ J. HAYNES.

ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road,
Liverpool.

Gentlemen.—l have great pleasure in communicating to you
a case (among many) which came under my own observation. A
lady, who I can refer to, in her assidious attendance upon her
husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and not
having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She
was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of
consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not
obtain any relief; when, upon the recommendation of a friend,
she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commencement,
eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly cured.
(Signed) THOMAS DEAN.
ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS.
Parliament-street, Liverpool.
Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extraor-
dinary powers of Locock's Wafers. I had been troubled with a
cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief, when 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. I
have since recommended them to several of my friends, and they
have also experienced the greatest relief from them.
I remain yours, ever grateful, J. WILLIAMS.
IMPORTANT TO' LL WHO SING.
From Mr. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist of

St. Peter's Catholic Church, Leamington.
Gentlemen,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxation
of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various pre-
parations; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr.
Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to re-
sort to them, for the extrordinary good effects they have produced
are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be com-
pletely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three
(at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, com-
pletely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a
mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude
after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty
to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons
will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of
it. EDWARD PAGE.
To SINGERS and Pußtic SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as in
a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power
and flexibility of the voice. 'they have a pleasant taste.

STRAHAN AND CO.'S BANKRTYPTCY.—Tuesday was the day
appointed for the adjourned examination of Messrs. Strahan,
Paul, and Bates, who had also traded as Holford and Co., at
the Bankruptcy Court. Numerous proofs were put in and
admitted • amongst others by the following persons :—Rev.
J. F. Bullock, Badminton; Mr. Bevan, banker, of Lombard-
street (on behalf of the Church Extension Society and the
Hospital for Women) ; Rev. J. J. Hornby, rector of Winwick ;
Mr. Reeve, publisher; Viscountess Sydney; the Rev. W. Sel-
wyn, Foxton ; Sir H. F. Shelley ; Hon. and Rev. H. Tolle-
mache, Harrington ; the Secretary to the Colonial and Foreign
School Society • Baroness Seaborne ; Vice-Admiral B. Rey-
nolds ; Admiral B. Martin, &c. After some preliminary ques-
tions put respecting claims put in by bill-brokers, Mr. Bagley
made an application on the part of Miss Burton, the daughter
of a deceased general officer in the Royal Artillery, who had a
claim against Holford and Co., for £3,300, to have the estates
of the banking business and that of the navy agency kept dis-
tinct; it being understood that the estate of the navy agency
is nearly solvent. The discussion of this question, a very im-
partant one to a large number of the creditors, was adjourned
for a private meeting. The examination was then adjourned
till the 11th of December; the allowance of £5 a week each to
Mr. Strahan and Mr. Bates being ordered to be continued for
a month. Sir J. Paul "having drawn a considerable sum from
the bank just before the house stopped," no allowance was
made to him. lfr• Lawrance then stated for the official as-
signees, that they proposed to enter claims at the dividend
meeting on Friday, on behalf of the owners of the missing se-
curities, for the value of these securities as estimated at the
date of bankruptcy, or at the time of their misapplication ; thus
treating the loss of these securities, supposed to have been fe-
loniously disposed of, as debts against the estate. The as-
signees also proposed, Mr. Lawrance said, to enter claims on
behalf of those officers, naval and military, who are now on
foreign service, and who probably have no means of sending
over their proofs. This was rather an unusual course, but
they thought the case required it. The amount of proofs and
claims made during the day against the joint estate was
£53:500. The total debts and liabilities are stated at between
7C0,000 and £BOO,OOO. The assets absolutely in hand are
£44,000; the amount expected to be realised about £lOO,OOO,
or from 2s. to 3s. in the pound.

THE great event of the week, absorbing all local
interest, has been the visit of His Royal Highness the
Duke of CAMBRIDGE, on the anniversary of HER
MAJESTY'S visit to Liverpool in 1851, and the advan-
tage which was taken of the opportunity to show
by general rejoicings, the popular appreciation of the
all-important fall of Sebastopol. The Royal Duke
arrived on Tuesday, and, having received at the Town-
hall a loyal address from the Corporation, proceeded,
in company with the Chief Magistrate, the Earls of
DERBY and HARDWICKE, and other Gentlemen, to visit
the principal institutions of the town. Never was a wel-
come so universally cordial, so warmly enthusiastic. The
streets, broad and narrow---the back lanes as well as
the main thoroughfares---were gorgeously decorated
with flags, banners, streamers, and devices innumera-
ble, all speaking one voice, and rich and poor vieing
with each other in doing all honour to the distin-
guished visitor to the capital of commerce. His
progress was like a triumphal pageant through dense
crowds of all ranks, who betokened by their smiling
faces the universality of their joy, and rent the air
with shouts of welcome. Well may the hero of Alma
and Inkerman have felt proud of his countrymen, when
he met with a reception which far exceeded all that
the most sanguine, who knew the loyalty of the men I
of Liverpool, had ventured to anticipate. There was
no mistaking the feeling which prompted the display :
it was exhibited from every house-top, the humblest
as well as the stateliest ; it shone in every countenance;
it was heard in every sound, even in the reports of
small firearms which, in defiance of police regulations,
were discharged in every street. If any doubt could
linger as to the popularity of the war in that port of
England where commerce must be most affectok by
its operations, such doubts must be blown to the
winds by the joyous welcome given to the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE in the town of Liverpool.
Tuesday was devoted to the objects of interest on
shore ; but on Wednesday his Royal Highness was
borne on the noble estuary of the Mersey, in that
matchless steamboat the Countess of Ellesmere. Here
the signs of welcome were not less enthusiastic than
on the land. The line of docks, stretching for miles
along the Lancashire shore, presented a forest of
masts, sporting flags of most nations, their gaudy
colours flaunting in the bright sunshine; every vessel
in the river was decked from her truck to her taffrail ;
along both shores were similar displays ; each place,
from which a view could be obtained, was crowded
with excited spectators, whose throats aided by
joyous shouts the booming of guns from impromptu
batteries; the unrivalled pilot boats, with their smartly
painted hulls, were ranged in line ; and as the swift
steamer, with her Royal freight, proceeded from point
to point of the world-famous harbour, she was accom-
panied by many others bearing crowds of delighted
participators in the exhilarating pageant. From

Eastham to the Rock Light, this noble port presented
a scene unrivalled in that magnificence which is pe-
culiarly characteristic of commercial England ; and
nothing the most fastidious could wish for was left
undone : even the sun shone brightly on the pageant,
and a fresh breeze from the north-west lent its aid to

T
Liver-
pool will long be hallowed among the pleasures of
memory, not only by the illustrious Prince, but by all
who took part in it. It may truly be said to have
afforded unalloyed satisfaction, with nothing to dis-
turb the general harmony, which was its greatest
value as a demonstration of popular feeling. It was
gratifying in every point of view ; and Liverpool has
abundant reason to be proud of her population. In
their reception of the DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, they
testified not only their respect for the hero of Alma
and Inkerman, who had borne his share in the great
struggle in the Crimea, but also their loyalty for
the illustrious House of which he is so worthy a
scion. They also demonstrated their approval of the
war in which the country is engaged with Russia
their grateful appreciation of the advantage gained by'
the capture of Sebastopol ; and, lastly, the respect
entertained for the CHIEF MAGISTRATE, whose recom-
mendations to make a general holiday, to decorate the
vessels and buildings with flags by day, and illumina-
tions by night, were carried out with a zeal and
unanimity beyond all praise. It was in the fullest
sense of the term a popular demonstration ; all classes
shared in the festivity, and it has therefore passed off
leaving no regrets.
