that day from Brighton, to take passage in the ship
ic)01,!
Port Philip, many of whom aro most amply fitted out
with stock, implements, &0., for the diggings. The
Statesman is famed for her rapid passages, her captain
being reported the person who introduced the system of
circle sailing. She has on board between 240 and 2.50
passengers, among whom are persons of the better classes,
many of them old and eminently respectable colonists.
She put in at this port owing to the number of pas-
sengers who had engaged berths in her belonging to
Brighton, but the result showed the facilities of Ports-
mouth for victualling, ice. No ship ever left Spithead
better stocked with every necessary to make a voyage
comfortable than the Statesman. She sailed this evening
for her destination.

Life Guardsman, one of
de Heroes of Waterloo, cured of Rheumatism by Holloway's
Ointment and Yills.—Alr. Thomas Brunton, landlord of the
Waterloo Tavern, Coatharn, Yorkshire, was afflicted for many
months with rheumatism and rheumatic gout. His legs were
dreadfully painful, and disfigured with colours of every hue,
frightful to behold. For ten weeks he was wholly unable to
walk, the treatment he received from several medical men not
only failing to do him any good, but leaving him in fact in a
considerably worse condition. At this juncture Holloway's Pills
and Ointment were resorted to, and by their sole means he has
been restored to health and strength.—Sold by all Druggists
and at Professor Hollor
ay's Establishment, 244, Strand,
London.
