of Great Britain could bear testimony to the agreeable infiu-
snoe and curative powers of PARR'S LIFE PILLS ; and cheerful-
ness being "the health of virtue," to possess it is to advance a great
step in happiness, comfort, and bodily ease. He who haS not tested
the efficacy of these admirable Pills, has neglected an essential incen-
tive to health and happiness.
They are found, after giving them a fair trial for a few weeks, to
possess the most astonishing and invigorating 'properties ; and they
N. ill overcome all obstinate complaints, and restore sound health.
Their mildness as a purgative is a. desideratum greatly required by
the weak and delicate.. •

It is only requisite to advert to the extraordinary discoveries of
gold in Australia, with the immediate consequences now resulting
therefrom, to account for the necessitl for at addition to the existing
banking accommodation there, to meet as well the great and grow-
ing wants within the different colonies of Anstralia, as the demands
arising from their largely extended and rapidly increasing inter-
course with the rest of the world.
The fact that there are now only the same number of established
banks in England having their field of uperstione in Australia, that
existed many years back, when the populaton there was not one-
fourth, nor the commerce between the two countries one-tenth of
what it is at present, sufficiently establishes the necessity above
alluded to, of an immediate addition to these lidispensable auxiliaries
to the transaction of mercantile and other insiness.
In proof of the success that has attended the operations of the
two principal Banks here referred to—that 4f Australasia, and the
Union Bank of Australla—it Is enough to mention, that the present
market price of the 401. shares of the formeLis about 801., and the
25/. shares of the latter 681.
The great extension that has taken placeboth in the internal and
external trade of India, since the termination of the East India Com-
pany's monopoly, would alone warrant flee introduction there of
greater Banking facilities, but when the efect of the railways new
in progress of construction in India, on its traffic, consumption and
production, are also taken' into consideration, together with the
great interchange of commodities that is about to take place between
it and Australia, it is evident that the forraeroffers a fieldfor the em-
ployment of capital lie banking, only surpassed by the latter country.
This Bank will be managed in London by a Board of Directors,
whose business connexion, practical experience of Australia and
India, acquired chiefly from long resicitnce there, and the stake they
will be required to hold in the Stock of, the Bank, will afford the
strongest guarantee for the mode in which its affairs will be conducte.l.

tuting the Company-Ist. No advances shall be made on lands,

The issue of nOtespayable on demand, shall in no case exceed in the
aggregate, one-half of the paid-up capital of the Bank, unless by
the express consent of the Proprbtary, in a Meeting specially
assembled for that purpose. 3,1. 1, at any time, and from any
combination of unforeseen circumstances, as much as one-quarter
of the capital should be Lost, it shallke incumbent en the Directors
to announce that fact specially to the Shareholders, and to convene
a meeting to decide on the nneasuret to be adopted in consequence
thereof.
The accounts shall be audited by two public and paid accountants,
named and appointed by the shareholders, to whom their report
shall be submitted at, or before each half-yearly meeting.
In order to avoid the evils that experience has shown to result
from the pressure of local influence en colonial boards, there will be
no local boards of directors, but the aesiness in Australia and India
will be conducted by experienced, reatonsible, and trustworthy offi-
cers, from whom ample security wil be required, and whose ma-
nagement will be under the constatt eupervision a competent in-
spectors, all being appointed by, mil amenable to, the London
Beard.
It is intended to commence businees at the outset in Sydney, Mel-
bourne, and Adelaide, and in Calcuaa, and to open other branches
only as circumstances may render desirable.
A bank, based and worked on these principles—placed under the
salutary restrictions here see le
-e--
-ed--and having such fruitful and ex-
tending fields for the employment of its capital as Australia and
India, cannot, it is believed, fail in its legitimate objects.
In the event, contrary to expectation, owithout the express con-
tained, no operations will be men,

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Vouth, degradation in Man-
hood. and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps. any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. LseMert, himself one of the few
egany qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished. medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, In every instance,
meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these
cases.

HOWELL'S SELECT BOOE-CASE.—Of the many attempts
to bring within the reading of all, the popular and ex-
pensive books of the day, none seem to offer a more
powerful claim than the series about to be presented
to the public, under the above title. The first book is
entitled " Floss ; or, the Progress of an Adventurer in
the Regions of Australia," from the powerful pen of the
author of " Raby Rattler." Illustrated on steel, by Mr.
Fletcher. The getting-up of this beautiful volume—the
price only eighteen-pence—is certainly one of those mar-
vellous signs of the times. It would be needless here to
speak of the merits of this new venture ; the high repu-
tation of the publishers rendering it certain that the
work possesses the most attractive features, or it would
not have been seized upon ag a sample of their future in-
tentions, as, to a great extent, upon this performance
will the public be guided in their patronage or rejection
of the Select Book-case.

was afflicted with a bad foot for three years, during which
time lie was under medical treatment without any re-
lief, or even mitigation of suffering. He was strongly
advised to undergo amputation, but this operatiom he
• positively objected to, and after lingering for some time
longer in dreadful agony, he commenced using Rollo-
; way's Ointment and Pills, and by continuing these in-
valuable medicines for a comparatively short period, his
ft foot was completely cured, and is now as sound as ever,
he therefore recommends these remedies to others so
afflicted.—Sold by all druggist, and at Professor Rollo•

EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL FOR MURDER.

William Burke Kirwan, described as an artist, was
indicted before Judges Crampton and Greene at the
Dublin commission for the murder of his wife, on the
6th September last.
Mr. Smyly, in opening the case, stated that the pri-
soner was an artist—that he had been married to his
late wife for twelve years, but had no children by her.
The evidence in support of the charge of murder was
purely circumstantial. It would appear that the accused
during the whole period that he was married had lived
with a woman named Maria Kenny, by whom he had
eight children. It was a remarkable fact that Mrs.
Kirwan did not know of his connection with Kenny, nor
did she know that he' was a married man until about six
months before the murder was committed. On the 6th
of September, Kirwan and his wife proceeded in a boat
from the main land at Howth to the little island of
" Ireland's Eye ;" another family named Brew were
also on the island that day, and offered Mrs. Kirwan
a seat in their boat at four o'clock in the evening,
but she said the boat was to return for them at
eight o'clock. There was a Mr. Hamilton on the
island that day also ; but it would be shown that after
four o'clock there was no one on the island but Mr. and
Mrs. Kirwan, and it would be proved by a man named
Hugh Campbell, that, leaning on the Howth harbour
wall, at about seven o'clock, he heard cries on the
island. Cries were heard by other persons also, includ-
ing a person named Alice Abernethy, who was standing
at the ladies' bathing place. Catherine Flood and Julia
Barren also heard cries. A boat returning from fishing
passed near the island, and a man named Larkin, who
was steering, would depose to having heard cries at the
same hour as that stated by the other witnesses. The
boat that was to convey Mr. and Mrs. Kirwan back to
Howth went over to the island eight o'clock. The
jury knew that thelariaTay ar r'eutly- oilf)gite" Howts'
harbour—due north, the nearest portion of the island
being the Broad Patch ; standing to the west of that
were two strands—one being in the immediate vicinity
of a marten° tower. At the back of the Broad Patch
was a place called "The Long Hole," which was nearly
dry when the tide was out, the mouth being filled up with
small rocks, but in the inside was a quantity of water..
All the cries were heard coming from the direction of
" The Long Hole ;" and there was, he believed, no doubt
that the cries could be heard from thence across to
Howth. In the boat, when it went over at eight
o'clock, were four men—Michael and Thomas Wangle,
Styles, and Kavanagh. When Mr. Kirwan came to the
shore, he sent one of the men for his carpet-bag ; they
asked him, " Where Mrs. Kirwan was ?" He replied
that she had left him at half-past six to bathe, and that
she had not returned ; that he had been searching for
her for the previous hour, near the tower, that being,
the jury would observe, the west part of the island,
whilst " The Long Hole" was at the extreme east.
Some of the men and Mr. Kirwan went to search, and
as Patrick Nangle and Mr. Kirwan approached the hole,
Mr. Kirwan slipped and fell, which delayed the search
somewhat. Just at that time Wangle saw something
white in the hole. Full tide at the Dublin bar was at
half-past three o'clock that day, and there was low water
at half-past nine or ten, when the body was found. The
body was found in a corner on a small rock, about a
foot high, the rock being then quite dry. The feet
were in a small pool of water. Mrs. Kirwan was in her
bathing dress and bathing boots, but she had no bathing
cap. She was lying on her back, her dress drawn up under
her arms, and under her was found a bathing sheet.
Her body was still warm. Wangle at once covered the
body. When Mr. Kirwan came up, he threw himself
on the body and cried, " Oh, Maria, Maria." He then
sent for her clothes, but the men could not find them.
He then went himself—remained away some time, came
back, and said, "Go up the rock and you will find
them." They did ; but they would swear that they
found them in a place where they had searched before,
and in which they they then were not. It would be
found that there were scratches on the face, blood
coming from both ears, and from another part of the
body. The body was taken to the house of a Mrs.
Campbell, at Howth, where Mr. and Mrs. Kirwan
lodged. The persons who washed the body saw the
appearances alluded to. On the 7th an inquest was
held, Mr. Kirwan being the principal witness. Ame •
dical student was also examined, as were also the
boatmen. At high water, on the 6th of September,
the depth of water above the rock where Mrs. Kirwan
was found was eight feet ;at half-past six o'clock
—the time Mr. Kirwan said his wife went to bathe—
there were two feet six inches there ; and at the time
the cries were heard there was below one foot nine
inches ; and at eight o'clock, when the boat left the har-
bour, the water was three inches ab9ve the rock ; and at
half-past nine it was two feet below it. The corpse was
interred at Glasnevin in very damp whether, and a
month after burial elapsed before there was a post-mortem
_examination. However, the jury would hear medical
testimony on this point. It was almost impossible that
Lath was the consequence of suicide ; and Mrs- Kirwan
was an excellent swimmer. There was no rising tide to
wash her in where she was found. The neck of the bath-
ing dress was untied. There was no injury in that way.
The arms were stiffened, and it was not likely that they
could have been used in bringing about death. Then,
would accident have removed the cap from her head,
raised the clothes, or inflicted the description of injuries
which the body bore
The evidence occupied two days, and, at the close
of the trial, the jury retired to their room, and shortly
before twelve o'clock returned; when the foreman handed
down a verdict of Guilty, being visibly affected in so
doing.
The announcement was received by the crowd with a
murmur seeming to denote satisfaction, mingled with
commiseration ; whilst the prisoner, who, two minutes
previously, was talking carelessly to one of the prison
officials, suddenly became overwhelmed, as it were, and
wore the aspect of one paralysed.
Judge CRAMPTON passed sentence of death on Mr.
Kirwan for the murder of his wife. The learned judge
held out no hopes of mercy, and stated that the verdict
had the full concurrence of of himself and Baron Greene.
The prisoner made a long address to the Court, strongly
protesting his innocence.
