W. K. takes the prssent opportunity of thanking his friends and
the public for the liberal patronage with which he has been favoured,
and at the same time to inform them that to accommodate his ra-
pidly increasing business he has built an entirely new operating
Loom, which is admitted to be the finest in Liverpool. With the
increased facilities now at his diuosal, W. K. expects that his
Pictures will not only sust an the hi ;ti char icter they have already
attained, but even surpass his former c.rod actions.

DOES NOT CHECK GROWTH.—Not a shadow of
proof can be e:dueed that smoking stunts the growth. It
is comparatively seldom that, at the very earliest, the
practice is begun before the fifteenth year, when the frame.
has already acquired its impress for life. The causes which
arrest or accelerate growth are as y•t totally unkown to.
us, whatever may be said to the ctntrary by those who
profess to be acquainted with the most mysterious processes
of nature. Dr. Campbell, with all his industry, collected
one solitary case calculated to clear up this mystery—that
of lii‘Gratl,, who nas experimented on in such a comfort-
able way by Berkeley, Bishop of Cloyne. The physical
powers of the rising generation have not yet been shown to
have degenerated below these of their ancestors; nay, there
are good reasons for belit.,,viog that in strength and endur-
ance they as far surpass them as they certainly do in clean-
liness and temperance. Whenever a name is to be gained
or danger to be faced, on the breach or on the ocean, in
the desert, the prairie, or the pampa, the Eeglishman is to
be found. From him come the hardy back woodsman ;
the enduring, daring lonely traveller ; the adventurous
emigrant; men whoAave triumphed over a thousand diffi-
culties, and sought in a pipe for consolation in a thousand
dangers. When the arm• ur was tried on for the Egliuton
tournament, it was found that scarcely a suit was large
enough for the degenerate wearers ; and our Guards would
give an Equally good account of that in the Tower. No
weaPoLa have been preserved which a modern athlete could
not use. The NVlesAcrs of Cumberland and Westmoreland,
of Devon and Col nwall ; the prize fighters of the southern
and midland counties; the navvies of Lancashire ; the
Guards, the boatmen of Cam, the Isis, the Tyre, and the
Thames, would beat the men of last century into fits. In
every manly exercise—boxing, running, wrestling, boating,
riding—Young England need rot fear a rival. About 1P
years ago the matter was put to a prec:ical test. A cricket
match wps played at B•ighton, I believe (31r. Duwliog can
set me right, perhaps), between the rmokers and smoke-
haters ; the latter were beaten.—Death in the Fide, by J.
