DR: JOHN ARMSTRONG'S LIVER PILLS.

I care not how I am physickod, so it be not by the adventure •f a
quack, but advice of a physician, wbe I am sure wi❑ prescrilac no mare
for me than may consist with my safety, and need d•lth require."— Old
I;ivine.

THESE LIVER PILLS are now very generally
recommended by the Faculty as the best FAMILY
APERIENT, a certain remedy for an INACTIVE LIVER, a
safe and effectual Destroyer of Worms in Children, and as the Beat
Friend of the DYSPEPTIC or BILIOUS SUFFERER, whose
usual symptoms are (some or all of) these—sick head-ache, giddi-
ness, flatulence, palpitation of the heart (when arising, as it often
does, from INDIGESTION), pain in the Side and under the
shoulder blades, distressing sensation of choking, oppression after
meals, depression of spirits, and a yellow s!;in. The very first two
pills generally afford such relief—such ease from every distressing
pain that the patient is at once surprised and delighted. The medi-
eine is gentle, though certain in its benign effects. It contains no
Aloes or Gamboge ; occasioning no Piles, nor any pain in its
operation. Obstinate Sores heal under a course of it, and Eruptions
of the Skin disappear. Taken a few alternate nights before a voyage,
it greatly prevents sea-sickness.
The late Dr. ARMSTRONG gave his unique prescription to the
Proprietor (a cousin of Mrs. Armstrong) in 1827, for his wife, who
was apparently dying of Liver Complaint, but has been ever since,
with the occasional use of the Pills, in perfect health. •

SIDE-ARMS.—At our Quarter Sessions last week
a soldier of the 51st when detected in a felony at Dovcr-
court, drew his bayonet, and plunging it at the throats of
the men who had apprehended him, effected his escape,
and would by this means have eluded justice if the ace:-
dental circumstance of dropping his foraging cap had not
led to his identifieution.—Esser Herald. [lt is hut a few
days ago that a party of the Foot-guards escaped frcm the
hands of justice by being armed. The Hampstead case also
must be fresh in the recollection of our readers ; the jury in
that case returned a verdict of wilful murder. The wearing
of side-arms by private solliers when off duty is an absurd
and a most barbarous regulation:l

WORKING OF THE NEW MARRIAGE

ACT IN DEVONPOUT.

(From the Devonport Independent.)
Since our last publication we have had an admirable
illustration in this place of the consequence of a state-
formed and exclusively privileged Church. The Legisla-
ture having, in the New Marriage Act determined that in
a matter connected, or supposed to be connected with re-
ligion, the subject should for once be restrained by no
law but that of his own conscience, any further than the
security !of the State demanded—the bigotted 'and inte-
rested have everywhere `taken the alarm. As men were
not only relieved from what was necessarily in some cases
either an !hypocritical or an openly contemptuous con-
formity with an intended religious ceremony, but also in
consequence, from the tax which never fails to accompany
such acts of grace from the Ministers, who in the " poor-
man's church " dispense, religion " without money and
without price," it was manifest that the cause of the
Church and Christianity was doubly endangered. Lati-
tudinarianism, Deism, and all the other terrible isms
down to Atheism itself, that the pure and jealous zeal of
the pious alarmist conjures up so often so frighten the weak
and timid, were of course more and more manifest in the
thing, the more it was contemplated with the eye that was
sure to have found them there ; and the holy horror could
no longer contain itself. Though somewhat too late to pro-
duce much effect, for several weeks previous, and subse-
quent to the Act's coming into operation, the matter %vas
earnestly agitated, through the Press, as 1101 as from the
Pulpit. Not only at Church on the Sabbath, but from the
Newspaper, and even by placards on the walls, were the
public cautioned, advised, and admonished. After many
of these delicate intimations on this delicate subject amongst
announcements for theatrical exhibitions, public houses to
be sold, and the usual rt cetc; a of the street corner, the
children and women were gravely assured in a placard, that
unless they conformed to the rites and ceremonies of the
Church, they could hare no claim to Christian burial, and
the Clergyman might refuse the benefit., if he pleased
e. of course, unless we had conformed in person and
with purse to " Mother Church" during life, we should not,
if she could help it., have a place for our bodies after
death in " mother earth," at least not with the pre) ers of
her Priest. This at least might have been supposed the
extent to which the most disinterested zeal for men's
souls and bodies could go ? But such was not the case.
As all these means had failed to produce the intended
effect,tand spite of prejudice and custom, a few fees were
diverted from the wonted ecclesiastical channel through
which so many sink, recourse has been had this week to
something that demands serious exposure. It is a pro-
ceeding that cannot be regarded by the sensible and gene-
rous of all parties, but with disgust and indignation. In
order to give sufficient publicity to all interested, the law
requires that the office of the Registrar should be open to
all who demand to see the notices of marriages. Advan-
tage has been taken of this to get the names of all persons
who give notice of any intention to marry, with their resi-
dence, occupation, &c., and publish them on bills stuck up
in all public places. It was headed " List of intended mar-
riages suspended for public inspection at the house of Mr.
(the Registrar's name and business.) Nor was this
the worst. In one case a party, either the daughter
or the servant of the Governor, had given her residence
as " Bodmin Gaol," and this was put down without ex-
planation, but distinguished from the rest by being in
glaring capitals. At the bottom, the curious were
informed that this delectable information would continue
to be gratuitously furnished them every week. The bills
having been printed and stuck up at every church and
chapel door during the Saturday, the astonishment of the
good people on the Sunday may be imagined—as may their
disgust and indignation, not at the thing intended to be ex-
pand, but the men w shad thus exposed themselves to
merited reprobration. Such, we are happy to say, was the
universal feeling when the people discovered that the thing
was fictitious, as they at first imagined. It is indeed asto-
nishing, that out of zeal for their " church" or party
spleen, or from meaner motives, any, with the feelings of
men, not to say Christians, would suffer themselves to be
induced to take such liberties with their neighbours, on a
matter to them so serious. It is at once an open contempt
of the law, a violation of private charity, and an outrage on
public decency. The pain and mortification it must occasion
to the parties, especially the females, must be manifest ; and
we have heard of much more serious consequences. But
perhaps we are mistaken ? The act may have sprung from
the best and purest motives. It, may have been nothing
but a strange and therefore a striking way of publishing the
improper and unnecessary publicity, which the legislature
has chosen to give to marriages—an attempt to expose the
alarming fact that the names of all persons proposing to
" join themselves together in holy wedlock" were exposed
in the office of a layman, to be seen by their parents and
friends. And the church may have had nothing to do with
it? But unfortunately Englishmen have an inveterate pro-
pensity to ascribe mean and sordid motives, wherever there
appears room, and reason to do so. The parties implicated
however in the suspicion, have only to disavow their con-
nection with the affair. For their sake, and for the sake
of the Church, we should be happy to find this done. Till
it is, let public odium .and deserved disgrace rest where
they have fallen.
