jJ directed eovelope. addressed to ..The Secretary; Botanic
Institute, Liverpool." a recipe to. cure all cases of deafness
and noisein. the :head, =provided the &Um of the ear be not

broken.

3T IS A FACT WORTHY OF RECORDING, that
in' the 19. th Century, and in an enlightened country like
'onis, the treatment resortbd to by the -faculty for the cure of
indigestion is altogether wreng in theory, and betrays fearful
ignorance of the physiology of the digestive organs and the
_stomach, and in alniost every instance,.eonfirras the malady it
should remove. The secretary of the " Liverpool _Botanic
Institute" will gladly and promptly forward, free of cost to all
who apply, Professor Beatunont's never-failing botanic remedy
for all diseases arising from indigestion, such as flatulency or
wind in the stomach, bilious or liver complaints dimness of
eight, and nervous-or sick head-ache. One ingrecatit used in
this•remedy wawa diSeovered, by Profeasor Beaumont while on a
tour through the backwoods of America; and the recipe was
forwarded to the directors of the " Liverpool Botanic Institute,"
at whose cost it ismade known to the public ; and they wish it
to be distinctly understood, that, underno circumstances what-
ever, will they accept any fee, rewind, or contribution for the
recipe, theii object being to show how, far superior the botanic
practice is over ail other practices of medicine. All they wish is,
thatthose who-may be benefitted thereby, will cominunicate
the same, in order that the public may know the value of this
remedv,-and forivard the movement for medical reform.

reasons for not coming. = I refused, and she goeineigh-
bour to go with her. M'Cuaig did not come back to

GENERAL DE- LAMORICRE AN husiimAi4l'---01
90PESE.—It would notsastceislt. any one if the Irish

Lamoriciere, now engaged in orgalising the army of the
Pope, is not only an Irishman, tat a native of the
county of Kilkenny. He was hoes in 1806, at the
'lslands of Urlingford.' His real naae is Morissy, and
the 'late Mr. William Morissy, shopl eper, Crlingford,
was his uncle. - We state this on the a thority of one of
the general's schoolfellows."

occurred in high society at Madrid :7-"-le Count de
Cumbre-Hermosa long suspected that his wife was-.
unfaithful to him ; and, being tormented by jealousy,
he took measures -to ascertain if his suslicions were
well founded. One night, on going home, le found the
countess in conversation with one of his fiends, svh(''
had-quitted him shortly before on pretext of indisposi- •
tion. He was greatly irritated, but said !lotting until
hit friend went away ; and he then reproachel his wife.
bitterly. She with tears protested that-he wroiged her
by his suspicions; and at length he allowed hinself to
be persuaded. After awhile he retired to his eisamher.
and she followed him and began caressing him ; but a'l •
at once she cut him with a razor in the neck aid side-
He seized her hands and celled for help, and:on the
servants rushing in, she was secured and placed in the .

serious. The countess, who had always been nosed for

families of Spain, and is niece of M. Mzeorobess

A DISGRACEFUL SCENE.-012 Sunday, a disgraceful •
scene took place in the parish church of Shepton Mallets
It appears it has been the practice to distribute a certain
quantity of bread to the deserving poor every Sunday •
after service, a charity founded by Mr. Ed ward Strode,
in 1699, and that the duty of distribution has been un- '
dertaken by one of the trustees for the last twenty year's •
Mr. John Stiff, of Cornhill. Recently some of the other
truseees have passed a resolution toy the effect that in
future the task of giving the bread away should be per'_
formed by the parish clerk, for a yearly remuneration c"
£5, thus lessening the amount of bread to the poor to
the extent of that sum. Mr. Buff objects to this course, •
but says that he is willing to distribute the bread s% •
betbre, seeing no necessity for a change. .It should be
remembered that the dissenting poor have an equal
right to the charity as the poor belonging to the Ete7j.
blished Church ; but of late a little jealousy has srisessoss
in consequence of the establishment of a British:T*op-
in Bridgewater, which has considerably diminisb.nting
number of the national school, and when the dietgr.
poor came to-receive their loaves, they were told bys
Phipps, a solicitor, one of the trustees, that' unless ,;,14-'s
attended church their loaves would be withheld.

caused considerable sensation, and a sharp con sees.
arose between him and Mr. Suff, Mr. Stiff being "aka - •
mined to distribute the bread as heretofore.
ensued, one gentleman seizing the other by the gashes
and a considerable-time elapsed before the breed
be distributed.—Bridgewater Mercury.
