inOLLOWAT'S Paz4l,s.—Extraordinarily hot weather is
often productive of unpleasant consequences to many.
The liver, the stomach, and the bowels are more or less
seriously, affected, so -that Englishmen are at certain
seasons liable to disorders of warmer climates. They
cannot shave a better safeguard or a more powerful cura-
tive than Holloway's justly eelehrsted Pills. They cool
and purey the blood, and render the system less liable
to irregularity; or when disease -is present, they:abate
its force, raid at last subdue it. Dysentery, biliousness,
-acidity of the stomach, sick headache, and debility
.speedily disappear before this inestimable medicine. 16
THE DEAnI OF A PUPIL TEACHER FROM DRINKING.
—An inquest was held at Blackburn on the body of
John Wilkinson, a pupil-teacher at Holy Trinity
Church Schools, Blackburn, who died from excessive
drinking. Deceased and three companions had been
drinking all the Sunday afternoon in the St. John's
Tavern, when he-ultimately terminated his existence.
Robert Wilding, surgeon, deposed-1 was called into
St. John's Tavern to see the deceased on Sunday after-
noon, a little after save o'clock. Re was perfectly
insensible. He had vomited a little and had
some substance in his mouth from the sto-
mach- with which he could not part. This was
from inability to open his mouth. I applied the
stomach pump with the effect which I expected. I then
sent him an emetic, and in about five minutes I was sent
for again, and I found him apparently passing away. In
a few minutes more he died. I suppose that the taking
of a mixture of drink while in an unhealthy state may
have operated on the nervous system and caused death.
I do not think that death would have ensued if he had
not taken the two glasses of whiskey. The quantity of
whiskey taken by the deceased would be excessive. to a
person of weak constitution, but a man of robust consti-
tution might have taken it without injury. I think the
deceased must have had a disordered stomach. Evidence
having been given that the deceased, had complained of
illness on Sunday, the coroner summed up, and the
jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a ver-
-1 diet of " Death from excessive drinking."

COLONIAL PROGRESS AND OLD COUNTRY IMPULSES.
—We have always traced with pleasure the sympathetic
feeling that has existed between our own mother-
country and the more juvenile portion of its family, the
Colonies, more especially those of the Western Hemi-
sphere ; as the progeny invariably imitates the example
of its parent, so do we find it with our foster-children
north of the American frontier, only with this difference,
that they appear of late years to have almost "stepped
into their parent's shoes' prematurely, and letting go
the leading strings, fearlessly walked alone. This is
evincible in various ways, to wit: the almost simul-
tandous advance in every branch of science and art, and
the judiciouLadaptation to their own purposes of the best
and most sterling inventions and discoveries that owe
their origin to Old England itself. In nothing has this
been more prominently exemplified than in the adoption
almost' as " with one voice 1 of the remedies of Pro-
fessor Holloway, the pills for the internal, and the
ointment for the external diseases of the body; no sooner
were they ushered before the world from their local
point of origin, 244, Strand, than they became with
unanimity the household medicines of Canada and the
British Provinces, and being especially adapted to the
settler's wants, being the physician of the backwoodsman,
in reions where the medical practitioner and the
and
0 e m healthin for
the the

medicine chest were unknown, they naturally became the
only "beacon fires." o
theirsnisetwies in the possession of Thomas
Holloway, that .the first settlers sent out to the Grand
mßiver by the New English Company in 1832-3 were re-
quired to provide themselves with a household medicine
of their own choice. This, we need scarcely add, was
soon made, and Holloway's two peerless but simple re-
medies became the never-neglected items in the early
emigrant's store. As communication across the Atlantic
became more open and frequent, no sails were set for
America without some portion of the cargo containing a
goodly supply of these healing medicaments, and we
understand that it is their unprecedented demand in
British America that led to the establishment of a depot
for furnishing that market at New York, as being the
most convenient point for transmission and supply.
Success say we to this noble enterprise, which, simple in
itself, is benign in its influences, and has become giant
in its operations. The name of Holloway will be known
in after ages as the watchword of health, when Aber-
nethy, Harvey, Jenner, and Astley Cooper are forgotten.

LONDON.
HIS ROTAL TIWRNESS TUERR Or CANIRRIDOR COLONEL.
•
On Wednesday afternoon a considerable section
Of the brigade met at Guildhall, to receive a com-
munication from the Lord Mayor.
The brigade having been formed by Lieutenant-
ColoneL nicks,

The Lord Mayor saidt—Gentlemen,---I have
requested your lieutenant-colonel to call you to-
gether on the present occasion, that I might have
an opportunity of making known to you some-
thing of great importance to the brigade gene-
rally, and probably of interest to you individu-
illy. You are, no doubt, aware that on the 21st
July last, in this hall; and in the presence of a
much larger number of my fellow citizens than I
have now ,the pleasure of addressing, Lord
Elcho pro Posed, and that gallant old sailor
Sir C. / Napier seconded, a motion that I
should be nominated to the colonelcy of the
intended brigade. 'The motion above referred to
was carried 'unanimously, and subsequently It
was intiinatea tome by Earl de trey and Ripon
that the authorities of the Wavoifice wonld have
great pleasure in forwarding my commission on
making my application in the usual way. At
that time the brigade numbered barely 50153 but so
steady has been its progress since, that it now
numbers nearjyl,2oo effitierit-men, (Hear, hear.)
When tie 'brigade took a ilouriihing -position, a
rumour graduilly spread abroad that 'his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge would-not object
to accept 'the-colonelcy. Deeming it my duty to
make myself acquainted with the real sentiments
of his:RoyarHighness subject,l sought an
interview with the illustrifous duke, Who frankly
and fairly stated that if-1, as Lord Mayor of Lon-
don, requested him to take the Command of the
London Rifle Brigade,he should not.be unwilling
to comply With the request, although 'his time was
already soccupied by other important 'duties. Feel-
ing that such an appointinent---fhat of his
RoyarHighness the Commander-in=Chief—would
confer no-small distinction upon you,' considered
it to 'be my duty, at mice and without hesitation,
to resign-my appointment into the hands of the
duke, who, on the 9thinst.,kindlyrondeseended to
accept • the title of -colonel of the 'London Rifle
Brigade. (Tremendous and long-continued ap-
, planse'.) Permit me, in conclusion, to say, that,
although the effect a this appointment must 'be
to some extent to sever me from yon, yet that so
long as'l hold office;und I hope for many years
to come,-it will be -my study to forward by every
meansin my power-the prosperity and welfare of
the London Rifle Brigade. (Chem..) Gentlemen,
I wish you again and again all'health and happi-
ness. 1 (Cheers.)
Mr.. "R. W.. Kennard, M.P., moved a vote of
thanksto"the Lord-Mayor, in connection with- the
subject Of the meeting, and exhorted the brigade
to let bygones' be bygones, and to -aim at making
themselves second to no regiment or brigade in
their determination "to •do their duty to their
Queen and country. (Hear.)
Mr.-Fisher seconded the motion, which was
agreed-to (but not-Without an exhibition of mal-'
content :handS), and the proceedings then ter- -
minated.

THE LONDON SCOTTIAII.—On Wednesday after-
noon 'a meeting of members of the icrndon Scot-
tish Rifle-Corps was held at No. 429, Strand, to
take into consideration the resolve of the com-
mittee respecting the kilt. It appeared from
several speeches which were delivered, -that-upon
the origination of the 'Scottish Rifle Corps it was
suggested that, in order to distinguish .the High-
land from -the 'Lowland volunteers, the former
should wear-the kilt and be called the Kilt Com-
pany. Subsequently, at a general meeting of
the corps, a resolution in favour of such -a eom- '
pany was carried, and -many gentlemen enrolled
-themselves under the supposition that their
-section of the corps -would be allowed to be
'halted like the -Highland Volunteers of 1503.
A. few days ago, however, the committee met, and
after some discussion passed a resolution to the
effect that they had reconsidered the question of
the kilt, and being of opinion that it was for
several reasons unsuitable for volunteers, had
decided that it should only be considered in the
light of full dress, tantamount, in the opinion of
several of the gentlemen present, to its utter
rejection. After a very lengthened discussion it
was agreed that the kilt should be retained.
lONDoN WELSH CORPS.—At a quarterly meet-
ing of the Most Honourable and Loyal Society of
Ancient Britons, held at the Welsh School, Ash-
ford, Middle Sex, • on the 10th instant, J. R.
Kenyon, Esq., D.C.L., vice-treasurer, in the chair,
the question of raising a London Welsh Rifle
Corps was discussed at some length. Letters
were read from the president of the society, Lord
Dynevor, Sir Thomas Phillips, C. A. Wood, Esq.,
and others, highly approving of the proposal. It
was ultimately arranged to convene a public
meeting in London, early in the ensuing session
of parliament, to proceed further with the move-
ment, and Mr. William Jones was desired to as-
certain, as well as he could, the views of the
leading Welsh in London on the subject.
EAST PEREHAAL—Steps have been taken for
the organisation of- a company in this town. Rifles
or uniforms are not to be supplied at present, as
the volunteers propose at first to confine their at-
tention solely to drill.
HAnwicli.—The volunteer artillery company
formed here has obtained nearly fifty members,
and it is expected that Major Bowness will be ap-
pointed to the command.
Bisuor's STORTFORD.—A company is in course
of formation in this town, Sawbridgeworth, Much
Hadham, and Stansted. Several donations have
been received, and a number of gentlemen have
enrolled themselves. Mr. J. Archer Houblon has
aided the movement with a donation of £25.
BRANDON.—The volunteers who have come
forward here have commenced rifle practice on
Broomhill-heath. --The rifles and ammunition
were supplied by 'Major-General Angerstein •at
his own expense, and the gallant general has
promised to give those who responded to his call
another practising day previous to enrolment.
NEWMARKEt.—In additicn to the mounted
corps in course of organisation here, the formation
of an ordinary company is contemplated in town.
HOLBEACH.—The provisional committee of this
obtained the requisite number of effective volun-
teers to form a sub-division of a company at Hol-

business or daily employments. Subscriptions and
donations to a considerable amount have been
received.

MORPETH.—A meeting was held here on Mon-
day night, for the purpose of enrolling and ex-
plaining the rules and regulations for the govern-
ment of the corps. Mr.. Alderman Charlton
occupied the chair, and after a few introductory
remarks, describing the object of the meeting, and
pressing upon young men the desirability of join-
ing the movement, he called upon the Secretary
(C. S. Swan, Esq.) to read the rules. The rules
having been read by the secretary, Goo. Brunel],
Esq. addressedthe meeting, pointing oil; the induce-
ments for enrolment, and stating the encourage-
ments that government held out for that purpose.
Among others, he mentioned that Mr. Sidney
Herbert, the Secretary for War, was about to
offer a prize of £l,OOO to the best shot with the
rifle, in the month of July next. The Hon. and

Rev. F. R. Grey. also- addies-sed to`-Mem—a -few
'able and 'convincing observations. A consider-
able number of young _men. had their names put
down, and a-confident hope is entertained that an
efficient force will 'be raised,—Nor' baily

Dur4Dll,--At the close of the drill on Friday.
last, Captain Littlejohn intimated to the company
that their services had been accepted bY? Govern-
ment, under the title of the Fifth Company of
Forfarshire Volunteer Artillery, and that an in-
structor in gun drill was to be sent down soon.
The officers are to be gazetted immediately. This
company has its full complement of 80 men, and
most of them have their uniform.

BELPER.—A crowded and enthusiastic meeting
has been held in the Court-room, Belper. The
right hon. Lord Belper occupied the chair,
amongst those present we observed, besides the
noble chairman, A. R. Stratt, Esq., G. H. Strutt,
Esq., L. E. Munn, Esq., W. Webster, Esq., J. C.
Topham, Esq. J. H. Bourne, Esq., the Rev. R.

W. P. Wilkinson, &c. Letters were read from the
Duke of Devonshire, L. C. Colvile, Esq., T. W.
Evans, Esq., M.P., R. Green, Esq., and Messrs.
Brettleintd Co. TheThike of Devonshire regretted
his 'unavoidable absence upon the occasion, and
asked. to allow his name to be put down for £5O.
After some excellent speeches from the noble
chairman and tither gentlemen upon the platform
'the ;names of -subscribers to and volunteers of
lhomovement.were taken down. The handsome
sum'of £328 10s. td. was subscribed, and between
'thirty and forty volunteers enrolled themselves.
The meeting separated after a cordial vote of
Ili:tanks to the- &airman had been passed.

"The Dublin !Freeman has the following :—A youth,
mimed Frederick Berry, who was spending the Christ-
mas with his grandfather at Blessing,ton, county Wick-
new, on Friday last, went out shooting, and in the
evening waslotrrid about- two miles from the town in
-the gripe of A 'ditch, dead, the gun resting on the top of
the bank over him. It is concluded that he had rested
*the gun on the ditch, and got over, and then went to
mull the grim through, when a twig caught the trigger

IRONWASTERS' QUARTER-DAY AT WOLVERHAMPTON.

Swan Hetet-which was kindly placed at the disposal of
the trade* by-the proprietor, Mr. Smith. The meeting
was larger than usual. Many of the leading manu-
facturers were present, together with several London
and Liverpool merchants of eminence. The meeting
was cheerful and animated, and a sale of 3,600 tons
of Shropshire pigs in a line took place. Barrow
pigs likewise' ere in request, and several large parcels
changed Jinni& at fixed rates. On the other hand, the
business 'done in finished iron was limited, heavy 1
transactions 'in this sort being generally deferred I
until the Birmingham meeting the next day. The
practice lately in vogue of putting. off certain new joint
stock iron companies and introducing the names of cer-
tain parties as-provisional directors, was condemned in
unmeasured terms by the chairman of the association,
who stated openly that these parties, who were repre-
sented in advertisements as practical men, esquires, &c.,
were not known in the trade ; and, in the end, these
embryo companies would lead to disappointment to those
who were by these means induced to take shares in them.
'These sentiments, openly expressed by the chairman of
-the association, were unanimously coincided in by all
the ironmasters present. The great business in malleable
iron will be done in Birmingham to-morrow. The
-prices for finishediiron the same as last quarter.
DR. GUTHRIE ON RAGGED SCHOOLS.—At a meeting
of the Edinburgh Original Ragged Schools, Dr. Guthrie
exposed the absurdity and impolicy of Lord Palmerston's
Aet, whereby it is made imperative that before a boy
can be admitted into a reformatory school he must have
undergone imprisonment for fourteen days. He never
had heard before of it being necessary for a person to
have a criminal brand upon his brow before he could be
found entitled to the benefits of education at the expense
of the state. Lord Palmerston, however, said, if the
ragged school would take a child and endeavour to pre-
vent him from becoming a criminal, the Government
would allow one penny per week ; but if the boy had
-the brand of a conviction sending him fourteen days to
prison upon him, they would give him 7s. or Bs. per week
for rubbing it out, if possible. He then gave an account
of a visit which he paid to the Akbar hulk, fitted up
as a Reformatory Institution at Liverpool, and where
he was received with the honours of an admiral ; and
mentioned that none of the boys there could be received
into the royal navy, although they were admirably
trained as sailors, because they had the brand of
convicts on their brows. They were, however, eagerly
run upon for the mercantile marine. Dr. Guthrie
then pointed out the inconsistency of the Government
making such large allowances to schools belonging to the
Established Church, the Free Church, the Episcopalian
Church, and the Churches of the other denominations,
when the most of the parents of the children educated
there were perfectly able to pay for their education ;
and he denounced the conduct of the Government in
allowing £lOO a-year to the Royal Institution for a nude
figure to be drawn from by the students, while their
ragged school, as he calculated, would get only £6O
for 300 boys and girls rescued from vice and degrada-
tion. It was a burning shame, and it was unworthy
of the Government to treat them so, who were saving
immortal souls from destruction, and preventing them
from growing up criminals and outcasts. The sum which
the Government was to allow them was two-thirds of a
farthing per day. He would say, perish the government
money rather than accept such an inadequate pittance as
that. He intended to double his own subscription, and
he appealed to the-ladies to increase their subscriptions
and efforts on behalf of the school,: to make up for' the
loss of the government grant. He concluded by reading
a letter which he had received from a ploughman, en-
clOsing a subscription of 10s. towards the funds of the
ragged school, the writer stating that it was all he
could afford, as he had to support a widowed mother, he
being her only son.
SINGULAR AND FOOLISH CRIMINALITY.—A Govern-
ment case of some importance came on for 'hearing
before the magistrates at Devonport on Tuesday. Mr.
William Eastlake, solicitor, who appeared on behalf of
the Adniiralty, stated that the prisoner, John Lawrence,
was a mason employed in _ the dockyard, and was
charged with attempting to commit a felony; having
been detected in making preparations and arranging
a scheme for robbing the pay-office in ' the doc'k-
yard. The case was 'a peculiar and, and deserved
the careful consideration of the magistrates, as it
closely approximated to a very serious crime. Mr.
Eastlake then stated that no possible doubt could exist
of the moral guilt of the prisoner, but that it would be
for them to decide whether his legal guilt was sufficiently
established to warrant his committal for the offence
with which he was charged. Whatever might be their
decision the bench would approve the course adopted by
the Admiral Superintendent, who had conceived it to
be a higher moral duty to deter crime than to permit
an attempt to arrive at maturity and then to punish it.
The evidence of Wm, Isles and John Martin:labourers
and: attendants on the pay-office, and of Mr. Henry
Brady, the accountant, proved that on the 30th of
December prisoner first asked Isles -to come to his
"Cabin" in the yard, when he said "What I want toknow
is if you'll mix up with a bit of roguery. I want to get
the Impression of, the keys, especially the key of the
safe, for £2,000 or £3,000 is easily taken away."
He then took a piece of soap, and showed how the
impression was to be taken four different ways, and said
it must be done in gutta percha, and that if no locks
were picked the blame would fall on the clerks. Isles
declined, but on the following Tuesday, when walking
in the verandah of the pay-office, prisoner showed him a
piece of gutta percha, and Isles then informed Mr.
Morris, second-class clerk, of all that had passed.
On Wednesday prisoner asked him to leave
the_ keys down, and having received permission,
he did so. There are three keys on one ring—
viz., one each for the front door, back door, and
pay-office. They are usually taken to the accountant's
office every evening at five, and brought therefrom
in the morning at half-past 7. During the day the key
of the pay-office was missing. John Martin stated that
on the morning of the sth inst. he saw the prisoner on
his hands and knees under the stairs. When questioned,
he said he was looking for a piece of carpet. Prisoner
then inquired if any one slept in the pay-office, and if
the safe-room was all iron. Martin watched prisoner,
i and saw him replace the missing key.. The evidence
not being sufficient to establish legal guilt, the prisoner
was discharged. He has been many years in the dock-
yard, from which he is now dismissed. Occasionally
there is as much as £30,000 in the pay-office of the
Devonport dockyard.

this week before the magistrates for the Isle of'
Wight, on the information of John Thomas and
Abraham Rock, seamen on board the vessel, on
a charge of having murdered John Turtle and
several other seamen during the voyage from
Legona to England. The information of the
dreadful circumstances was communicated to the
police on the vessel arriving at Cowes. The
names of the mates are Edmund Lane and George

officers, and they included John Turtle, a man

crew
known on board as Frank ; Wm. Johnson, David
Pagins, Jas. Armstrong, and Wm. Pomeroy, who
are now dead. At Mobile, Lane struck Armstrong
on the right eye with a mallet, felled him from
the forecastle on to the main deck, and knocked
out his eye. He was sent by Hires to do some-
thing to an " ear-ring" under the bowsprit, but
being unable to do so, he was dragged along in
the water, until Abraham Rock went to his
assistance, when Lane exclaimed, " Don't haul
that nigger in ; cut the- ear-ring and let him
go !" In two minutes after Armstrong let go his
hold and was lost. The ship sailed from Mobile
to Legona, in South America, and from thence
to Cowes. On the voyage Hires accused
Turtle of stealing rum from him in his cabin,
and as he was obeying one of the mates'
orders, Hires caught him by his head,
hauled him down upon the deck, stamped
OW his head, and kicked him with hig heavy
sea-boats. Turtle's head and eyes were observed
to be bleeding, and he went to his berth. Hires
said to a seaman, " Thomas tell him, if he don't
come out and get on to the pumps, I'll murder
r him." The unfortunate man's reply was, " I can't
get up, if they kill me." Hires went to him,
pulled him out of the bunk by the ears, threw
him down in the forecastle, and stamped upon
him heavily. He was laid by Thomas in the fore-
castle. In a few minutes Hires said, " Tom, is
that old nigger dead yet ?" He was then
1 dying, and expired the same night. His body
was sewn up and thrown overboard two days

his mouth, and he died at six o'clock the same day.
He said, previously to his death, " Jack, I feel very
bad, and am dying—the mate has choked me to
death." His tongue was hanging out of his mouth.
Frank died about seven days before the arrival of
the ship at Cowes, after having been severely beaten
by the chief mate, who said, while the man was
at the wheel, " If you go a quarter of a point off
your course, I'll murder you." Directly after
hole struck him on the head with a belaying
pin. This took place off the Start Point. The
man cried "Murder " twice, said " Oh, God!"
several times, and called once for the captain.
The unfortunate men who fell victims to the
brutality of their officers were men of colour.
The prisoners have been remanded.

A ROCHDALE MAN'S ADVENTURES IN BLACKBURN.—
On Monday, at the borough police-court, before John
Sparrow and John Baynes, Esqrs., James Hamer, a
waste dealer, who lives at Rochdale when he is at home,
charged Thomas Wilson, a Bradford man, with stealing
a sovereign from him on Saturday last. Hamer said
that on Friday morning he left his sister's house, in
Novas, with six sovereigns, and proceeded to Mr.
llornby's at Brokhouse and paid there £1 Bs. Ire then
came back to Salford, and called in at Austin's beer-
house, where he had something to drink, and
where he got " fresh." Before he left there,
conscious that he was " fresh," he • put his
four sovereigns and some silver into his left
shoe, and proceeded on his way, calling at several places
and getting something to drink, and at last made his
quarters good for the night at Mrs. 'Ainsworth's, Der-
went-street. On Saturday morning he started afresh.
with his four sovereigns in his left shoe, and visited
several beer-shop friends, in whose houses he supped,
and then went to Edward Weit'a beer`-shop,in King-
street. It was between one and two o'clock when
he got there, and in the room where he sat himself
down were the prisoner and -another man, who en-
tered into conversation with him. After a little they
asked him if he had any money, and he said he hadn't.
They then said that he bad a good pair of shoes
on him, on which they might rise something; and
suiting the action to the word, they threw him down and
took off his left shoe, when the four sovereigns and the
silver fell on the floor. The prisoner made a grab at
one sovereign and his companion at -anotheroind they
both left the house, while the prosecutor, or somebody
for him, picked up the two sovereigns and the silver
which remained. In the evening the prisoner came
back to "West's beer-house with a new suit of clothes on,
and was given into custody. It then transpired that he
had purchased the clothes at a pawnbroker's for 17s. 4d.,
and paid for them with a sovereign. On being asked to
plead guilty or not gailty, the prisoner said, "Well, you
can commit me ;" and on the matter being _
more fully
explained to him, he replied, " I will be guilty then,"
and he was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with
hard labour.—Blackburn Standard.

A ROUGH PASSAGE.--The magnificent ship Cherubim,
of Baltimore, which now lies at the Market-street wharf
discharging her cargo, arrived at this port on the 19th
ult., but for many weeks previous to her arrival much
anxiety had been felt for her fate, as she left New
York early last spring. As she was known to be a
fast sailer and a staunch vessel, ,the probabilities were
even stronger that she had been utterly lost. From
her first officer we have gathered the story of her long
detention out, and it is a hard one. the Cherubim
left New York OR the 9th of May; it was 193 days
afterwards that she entered our harbour. But when
she did arrive she came in perfect order and in capital
condition. She seems to have suffered all the nautical .
troubles that could possibly be crowded inside of 193
days. She was forty-six days drifting through calmsand beating against light headwinds,
beforeo
Horn et
the reached
the wind
e
the equator on the other side. Off Cape
was a gale, and directlyin the teeth of the good ship,
'eh plunged and rolled and staggered under it for
days. On the nth of August she sighted the island of
Diego Ramirez to the west, some 20 miles. Just 19
-ht.
days afterwards, after a prodigious deal of hard sailing,
they sighted the same 'lsland, bearing in nearly the same
direction; about 15 milesi off ! -The wretched Horn once
rounded, matters were more moderate till they
reached Valparaiso, into which place the ship
