A PARTY OF FOUR. OR CUNNING
EXEMPLIFIED.
" Three friends I have with me," a lunatic said,
His form in the Boats of his Guide as pourtray'd ;
" Just so our protectors, two travellers more,
Thus they, you, and I, make a party of Four."
These Four then nrriv'd at an Inn for the night,
The place of asylum at hand, all was right;
For while in deep slumber the Guide lay fast bound,
The Insane the Doctor's Certificate found,
And, speeding his way to the 3latl.house,—" I've got
A friend," he then said, " whose unfortunate lot
It is to be craz'd ;—I shall bring him apace ;
But, mind, he will wish to put me in his place,
By swearing that 1 am the madman, not him,
ith other crack-brain'd unaccountable whim."
His steps then retracing, the Inn he regain'd,
Asleep while the unconscious guide still reinain'tl,
And rousing him, both sallied forth to explore
The Country, till reaching the Asylum door,
When out came theKeeper,—" VI e Four," said the Guide,
" My friend. Two Protectors my Boots in beside."—
" You hear," cried the lunatic, " Reason is lacking,
He sees two Protectors in Warren's Jet Blacking.'
" Aye, Aye," said the Keeper, then pounced on his prey,
And clad him at once in strait-waistcoat array.
*"Tis lie," in amaze cried the Guide, " who is mad,
Not me !" but attention was not to be had ;
They 'they'd his had closely and pinion'd him down,
While scamp'ring the Insane in triumph to Tewn.
" You've murder'd your Guide," cried his friends in despair,
" The Guide—why he's mad, as the maddest March hare,
And safely se:ur'd—so be after him packing
The biter ts bit, and through Warren's Jet Blacking."
This Easy Rhining and Brilliant BLACKING, prepared by
ROBERT WARREN, 30, strand, London ; and sold in every'
Town in the Kingdom.
Liquid, in bottles, 6d. 10d. 12d. and 18d. each. Also Paste
Blacking, in Poo, dd. 12d. and 18d. each. A bbiDing Pot of

siTip" is a gift from Beeves, cementing nieuure with reason, by
which, says Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association
with celestial intelligence."
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation. it
becomes an imperathe duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free.
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention are attributable many of those hapless
instances, which, while th;j:cite the commiseration of the be-
holder, should also impress im with thofear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will loin the body—a residence in the
tropics will relax the elude fibre—but mote especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a stale of inanition.- from which the agonised
sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then,
we address ourselves, offering lupe, energy, muscular strength,
felieity ; nor will ouradvanceseppanquestionabfe, sanctioned as they
are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years' successful ex-perience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the
suspension of those blessings which concentrate the neptial wreath
—for the ferrule habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be
strengthened. and deficient energy improved into functional power.
In every mu of syphilitic intrusion, is well as in every relaxa-
Min of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure
speedily, and with effect. Earnestly Solicitous to expel the unfeel-
big empiric from the position se presumptuously taken up. we
deviate from general prineiples with Ises hesitation ; and confident
in otir own honourable integrity u Members of the College of
Surgeons, we refer the suf ering commuaity of either sex (espe-
cially those ente • -Into matrimonial Jife) at once to our house,
where daily atteadfitss is given for 'penitent consultation; and
letters from the country are immediately answered ; these must
contain a remittance for advim and medicioe, which can be for
warded to any part of the trorW, however distant.

TUESDAY, Nov. 8.

COTTON.—There was not so muebcloltigl;Cotton last week ;
the sales amounting to only 2,270 bales, viz.-90 Bourbons 100.
a I lid. ; 100 Foments 12id. ; 100 Bowed* Sid. a 9d. ; 1,209 Surats
aid. • 50 Madras 64d. a bid, • 800 Bengalis bid. a Gad. all in bond.
SUGAR.—The Sugar market was uncommonly heavy all the
last week, the purchases did not exceed 100 hhds. per day, scarcely
sufficient to constitute market prices ; they were rather on lower
terms, but not so decidedly as to warrant us in lowering the general
quotation. At a late hour on Friday there were more sales reported
than any day of the week, yet atilt the quantity was inconsiderable.
The Sugar Market opened this morning very heavy, and the ap-
pearance of business, which was evident an Friday, has been ag la
checked by the report from the West India warehouses, stating
that the delivery last week was 1.200 casks less than the correspond-
ing week of last year; the deficiency of the stock is little varied
since the statement of last week. At the close of the market to-day
several of the mast extensive holders had withdrawn their Sugars
entirely, and generally there was more firmness in the market ; the
purchases do not exceed 20 casks : the prices the same as last week.
The public sale of Barbadoes, 120hhda., went off at full market
prima, 70s. a 765. 6d., being about Is. lower than the late highest
point of the market. In the early part of last week there appeared
a great disposition to do business in Refined goods. particularly in
Lumps, and, as they were scarce, there were no sellers under 87s. ;
there were also considerable buyers of crushed forthe Mediterranean,
towards the close of the week the • Inquiries ceased, and the market
prices again gave way, Lumps 86s. ; in fine goods for home con.
sumption there wee little doirrg ; Molasses were 345. The Refined
market was uncommonly heavy to-day ; Lumps may be purchased
freely at 8411. in fine goods no sales are reported, but the holden
offer parcels 4s. a 511. under the late highest price. Molasses are
335. 6d. a 31s. There were no vales of Foreign Sugars reported by
private contract. At a public sale on Friday, 2,309 bags Mauritius
Sugars sold about 3s. lower than the late highest point ; brown to
middling yellow sound 625. a7Ol. ; soft 595. is 61s.
COFFEE.—The demand for St. Domingo Coffee by private eon.
tract continued general all last week; considerable parcels were re-
ported sold at ftSs. 6d. and 575. ; all the other descriptions were
neglected, and the public sales nearly all taken in ; the ordinary
descriptions ofJamaica were in some instances sold on lower terms;
generally the market was in a Try languid and depressed state.
There were no public sales of Colree this forenoon ; some ordinary
Brazil sold at 541. ; there are buyers of St. Domingo still at 54 lid.
but generally the market is very dull.
WINES.—The Wines of high quality are scarce and in de.
mend ; all the low priced in very great request ; the intermediate
qualities are neglected; the latter is owing to the reduction in the
duties.

INi/lila—There is no alteration in the prices of Indigo.
FRUIT.—The first cargo of New Turkey Figs, Sultanas, and
Black Smyrna Raisins, was put up at public sat on Wednesday ;
Black Smyrna., of fair quality, sold from 445. to 465. . • Sultana.,
fine, 76.. a 70. One or two lots only of the drums of Figs sold.
Pulled 705., Flat 63.; the rest were taken in at these pricew, but
were afterwards divided among the °meets, at 6th. for the Pulled
and 60.4. for the Flat, the quality fine. The first cargo of New
Cephalonia Currants, which are of very gond quality, have been
put on tap at 106 s. and nearly the whole taken off at that price ;
two more cargoes have arrived ; there are some arrivals of New
Manuals. In Old Fruit there is not much doing.
SILK.—The Silk trade remains in a very depressed state; we
cannot make any alteration in prices, on account of the few sales
lately reported.
OILS.—The late advance in Fish Oil has been fully main-
tained ; the market looks lirm. Seed Oils are without alteration.
HOPS.—The Hop market continues very heavy. notwithatand.
ing the favourable season of the year for effecting sales ; the prices
of the new Hops arc nominally lower, 171. to 211., but the buyers
still refuse to purchase.
TEA.—Low Congous are again a shade higher; in other de.
acriptions no alteration.
PREMIUMS OF INSCRANCE.—We cannot quote any
general advance in the premiums; inparticular cases where vessels
were expected on the coast during the late plc.., the prices asked
are very high.
TOBACCO.—The quotations are nominal; the purchases lately
are on the most limited scale.

RUM. BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—There is not much
business doing in Rum, yet the market is firm ; no parcels of
under proofs can be purchased under 24. Id.: some favoosite
marks of Jamaica 3s. fid. a 3.. fkl. Brandy is higher; lavourite
milk's; sold for arrival at 3s. Gd. and 3+. ad. other marks 3s. 2d. a
3s. ad., and the market looking firm at the advance ; the nearest
quotat.on of pale Geneva is Is. lid.
RICE.—The small parcels of beat Caroline Rice well 38s. a 405.,
inferior no low as 335. liv public sale on Friday, 500 bags East
India all sold, Patna kind 235., good Patna 275.
11E3IP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—The Tallow market is
again reviving, sales were made at 375. Rd., the price is today 33.
Hemp is again higher, 331. les. a 441. In Flax there is little alter-
ation to notice.

IRISH PROVISIONS.—Beef and Pork continue to main.
tain the late high prices; Bacon is unvaried. Butters still ad-
vance and rate high; Dutch 118 ; Waterford 1084.

Aft xi No INi-suit:mare E.--Quantity of copper ores sold
at Itedruth, Nov. 311, 2,658 tons; average produce, 8;
fine copper, RIO lona 3cwt. ; amount of sale, 21,5871.14 a. 6d.;
