BILIOUS AND LIVER COMPLAINTS.
AS a mild and effectual Remedy for all those Disorders'
which originate in a vitiated action of the Liver and Hillary
Organs, namely Indigestion, Loss of Appetite. Headache, Heart.
bum,
Platulencies, Spasms, Costiveness, Affections of the Liver,
&c. ate. DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS have met with
more general approval than any other Medicine whatsoever. They
unite every recommendation of mild operation with successful effect ;
and require no restraint or confinement whatever during their nee.
In tropical climates, where the consequences of redundant and
vitiated bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable
and efficient protection. They are likewise peculiarly calculated to
correct disorders arising from excesses of the table, to restore the
tone of the stomach, and to remove most complaints occasioned by
irregularity of the bowels.

It is in contemplation at Boston to obtain an Act of Par-
liament for enabling the Overseers to assess the owners of
houses and lands in that borough for the poor-rate. This
mode is proposed in consequence of the great increase of
arrears.—Stamford literary.
About two months ago, the building of a very fine
bridge across the Carton, at Dunipace, was finished, when
the key-stone was laid with masonic honours, by Sir Gil-
bert Stirling, Bart. We have learned that late on Satur-
day night, or perhaps upon the morning of Sunday last,
some person, who it would appear had been present at the
ceremony, after cutting a hole in the atone in a masterly
manner, abstracted a glass bottle which had been deposited,
containing all the current coins of the realm, together
with several newspapers, &c. A half sovereign and a
penny, with the papers, and the broken fragments of the
bottle, were found lying upon the bridge on the Sunday
afternoon. From the neat manner in which the hole was
cut in the stone, the theft is supposed to have been com-
mitted by a mason.—Seofsmon.
THE H ARV EST.—The favourable spring and the con-
tinued dryness and heat of the summer had brought the
corn in this neighbourhood to a state of great forwardness,
with every appearance of productiveness, before the un-
certain weather now prevalent commenced. In conse-
quence, we are happy to say that the heavy, almost daily
rain we have recently experienced, although it has, with
the general change of temperature, delayed the ripening of
some grain, does not appear to have bad hitherto any in-
jurious effect even upon the greenest or heaviest corn
fields. Reaping, indeed, has not only begun in all situa-
tions in the surrounding district, but large tracts are al-
ready cut down, and in stooks. We have not, however,
observed that any portion of the harvest has been as yet
gathered in and secured ; but we trust the whole will be
safe in the farmers hag yards before the expiration of the
month. The potatoe crops have derived much benefit
from the moist weather ; and, in short, we have full con-
fidence, that in every respect the produce of the present
year will be abundant, and of good quality.—Leeds

" The lamented death of the late Bishop of Calcutta
could not fail to check for a time the progress of the So-
eiety's operations in the I,astein Peninsula, but they look
forward to the happiest results from the co-operation of
the present Diocesan, and the zealous exertions of their
Missionaries, who arc diligently engaged, under the direc-
tion of the Principal of the College, in those studio) which
will enable them to carry on with effect the ultimate de-
signs of the Society. In the mean time, and in addition
to the main object of their present occupations, the attain-
ment of the native languages, and the acquisition of a
general knowledge of Indian rites and customs, the Missi-
onaries are actively employed in superintending several in-
stitutions for the education of the native youth.
" The formation of a College Library has been com-
menced at a considerable expense. It will, however, re-
quire many additions to render it efficient- At the meet-
, ing of the Board, held in March 1822, it was resolved to
endow twenty theological scholarships for the purpose of
forming a body of missionaries, catechists and schoolmasters.
" This Society has recently been enabled to make an
important addition to its establishment in the East. In
order to extend its operations in that quarter, and give
union and strength to the Missionaries, it has undertaken
the superintendance and management of the n.issions in
Southern India, which have been hitherto maintained by
the Society for the promotion of Christian Knowledge, and
which that Society consented to resign in consideration of
the benefits the Missionaries must derive from an intimate
connection with Bishop's College, Calcutta.
" Five European Missionaries, and six native teachers,
devoted to the instruction of the native congregations in the
neighbourhood of Madras, have thus been added to the So-
ciety's establishment, and there is an urgent demand for
more labourers in the same field.

" Under these circumstances, the Society feels justified
in expressing a conviction that the British public will not
fail to aid its labours. Its friends are therefore entreated
both to form themselves into Committees for this purpose,
in concurrence with the Ecclesiastical Authorities, and to
circulate those authentic details of the nature and extent of
the Society's operations which will be furnished to them
from time to time."

HAMPSHIRE ROADS.—Continued exertions in various
parts of Hampshire are making for the improvement in
old roads, and the formation of new ones. Already is
the new road from Winchester to Petersfield in consider-
able progress; the road from Basingstoke to Alresford,
through Preston and Andover, is repaired, and from Al-
resford to Petersfield nearly completed. The hills at
llindhead and Portsdown are much lowered, and the steep
and dangerous ascent at Stonar-hill, between Petersfield
and Alton, is removed, or avoided by a new cut round the
other side of the hill. New roads arc likewise in contem-
plation from London to Portsmouth by way of Farnham ;
also Chichester to Petersfield, Midhurst to Petersfield, and
Alton to Liphook, the latter uniting the Portsmouth and
Gosport roads within a distance of nine miles.
On Friday last, as a child, about 14 months old, was
playing near the edge of the quay, at the upper draw-
, bridge, Leith, a very large Newfoundland dog, belonging
to the captain of a vessel lying there, was running furiously
1 along, when it came in contact with the child, which it
precipitated with some violence to a considerable distance
into the harbour ; the dog ran on, when a sailor on board
the vessel to which the dog belonged, who happened to
observe the circumstance, called the dog back, and pointed
to the child which was floating—it immediately returned,
plunged into the water, and seized the child by the back.
One of the spectators fearing that the child's head might
still remain under the water, and thus occasion its death,
although supported by the dog, plunged in, and endeavour-
ed to take hold of it to bring it on shore; the dog, how-
ever, would not allow him to touch it, in consequence of
which a battle took place, in which, however, the dog ul-
timately prevailed, and brought the little innocent, whose
life it had unconsciously endangered, safe t? the shore,
amidst the greetings of hundreds who bad witnessed the
scene.—Edinburgh Star.
