THE BEST APERIENT and ANTIBILIOUS
MEDICINE for general use is FRAMPTON'S PILL OF
HE ALTII, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by
gentle relaxation, without griping or prostration of strength. They
remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are
highly grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, re-
lieve langour and depression of spirits ; while to those of full habit
and free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heavi-
ness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will
not fail to be appreciated.
This medicince has for many years received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society ; and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Front,
with permission to publish it, and if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author :

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
,opposing them married, questionably contented. Dinldence, or a
;enso of right determine the former, and miscalculate.! hopes em-
sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
ooreprosing hurry ; but tho truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform an item
Ji the compact ; it alone dignifies the affiance. Blighted hopes or
~eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
les° surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
'AEMOIRS " On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by cost, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ay misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by f cat Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Ivoid," and " Hew to be Happy." They are not merely
paameets but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scrilobllngs of the hour, but the study of the author's
life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
ser 'Taus of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
wet.,,t he done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

7.W7Y.9 THE FIRST STONE OF TIER
PORTLAND BREAKWATER by PRINCE
ALBERT.

We gave yesterday a brief account of the ceremony
of the laying of the first stone of Portland Breakwater,
by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on Wednesday
last. We now subjoin the following interesting details,
abridged from the Poole and Dorsetshire Herald:—
As soon as it was publicly announced that his Royal
Highness Prince Albert had abandoned his intention of
going by water to Portland, and that he had resolved on
proceeding thither by the London and South-Western
Railway, to Dorchester, and from thence to Weymouth,
meetings of the town-council and the inhabitants of the
ancient and loyal borough of Dorchester, were held, to
devise the best means to be adopted for the reception of
his Royal Highness. A loyal and dutiful address was
prepared by the mayor and town council.
Even before daylight the inhabitants were disturbed
from their slumbers, by the arrival into the town of vehi-
cles of all descriptions, wending their way to Weymouth;
and merry peals from the bells of St. Peter and Fording-
ton Churches were heard at an early hour, and conti-
nued at intervals throughout the day. The national
colours floated from the church towers, and flags were
suspended from the windows of several of the inns and
private houses, which were tastefully decorated with
flowers, laurels, &c. The Dorchester band paraded tie
streets, playing lively and loyal airs.
The arrangements at the railway station were excel-
lent, and the whole was very prettily decorated; crimson
cloth was laid down on the platform from the royal car-
riage to the steps of the outer door of the station-house.
A triumphal arch was thrown over the entrance-gate to
the station, on the top of which was formed a crown,
and other appropriate devices, beneath which was the
word " Welcome;" and a splendid standard floated in the
breeze opposite the station door.
A row of waggons was judiciously placed by the com-
mittee in the station-yard for the accommodation of the
public. At half-past six a number of special constables
arrived for the purpose of keeping order, and at ten
o'clock the Melbury troop of the Queen's Own D.Y.C.
took up their position in front of the station, and the
Dorset Militia immediately followed.

Highness. At half-past ten it was announced that the
train was in sight, and immediately on his Royal
Highness leaving the royal carriage he was received with
loud huzzas by the vast concourse of spectators, the band
playing the National Anthem. The Mayor (C. Arden,
Esq.) then read the address of the inhabitants of Dor-
chester, which his Royal Highness graciously received
and appropriately acknowledged. He then entered the
carriage amidst the renewed plaudits of the assembly,
and the waving of handkerchiefs by the fair sex, and
proceeded to Weymouth. escorted by the Melbury troop
of the Queen's Own D.Y.C., under the command of the
Earl of Ilchester.

At Monkton Gate, about two miles from Dorchester,
a handsome triumphal arch was erected, on which was
a scroll with the words " Welcome to Prince Albert
from Herringstone House." This arch was surmounted
by a crown composed of choice flowers, and a number of
flags were stretched across the road. At the bottom of
Ridgeway-hill was another arch, and at Up way was one
with the words " Welcome to Prince Albert—Long life
to the Queen." At the entrance to Weymouth was
another with a similar inscription, and by the statue of
George 111. was a treble arch.
The Prince was throughout the whole course most
warmly greeted, and on his arrival at the King's Stairs,
the place of embarkation, was received by Captain
Frampton's troop of the Queen's Own D.Y.C., under the
orders of Lieutenant Williams; a large concourse of
persons giving three most hearty cheers.
Oa his Royal Highness alighting from the carriage,
the address of the corporation of Weymouth was read
by F. C. Steggall, Esq., the town clerk, and the same
was presented, when the Prince made the following re-
ply to the address:—" It was with much pleasure that I
acceded to the memorial which was forwarded to me
from you. An undertakinc, of such great national im-
portance as the building of breakwater, which was to
form a harbour for the protection of the royal and mer-
cantile navy, could not have failed to attract my atten-
tion, and I most willingly availed myself of the wish
generally expressed, that I should, by laying the founda-
tion-stone, identify myself with this great work. Ishall
not fail to communicate to the Queen the loyal wishes
contained in yout address, for the health and happiness
of her Majesty."
His Royal Highness, accompanied by the equerries in
waiting, Colonel Phipps and Colonel Seymour, then en-
tered the royal barge, and were promptly rowed on
board the Victoria and Albert, which was in waiting
immediately outside the harbour. On his Royal High-
ness arriving at Weymouth, royal salutes were fired
from the ships in the bay, and on his progress through
the fleet, yards were manned and royal salutes again
fired. The mayor (A. Lithgow, Esq.), alderman, coun-
cillors, and revising assessor Pothecary, us well as seve-
ral of the magistrates of the county, then went on board
the Vulcan, revenue steamer, commanded by Lieu-
tenant Pritchard, placed at their disposal by Admiral
Sir T. Capel, on the breaking down of the steam• packet
they had hired, and proceeded to the island, where the '
arrangements by Mr. Coode were most complete, and
carried out most efficiently, notwithstanding the thou-
sands congregated.
The guard of honour consisted of Captain Erskine, 2
lieutenants, 4 serjeants, 2 drummers, and 80 rank and
file, together with the band of the Royal Marines, from
Gosport. The saluting battery was composed of 80 men
of the Marine Artillery.
The line of the projeoted breakwater was marked out
by boats with colours hoisted.
Six hundred Portlanders were drawn up in order of
procession, with favours in their hats.
His Royal Highness on arriving at the platform, the
band playing the National Anthem, was received by
Admiral Capel and the engineering staff of the break-
water, by whom the works were explained. Tho first
business here was the presentation of the address from
the inhabitants of the Royal Manor of Portland.
Captain Manning, her Majesty's Lieutenant, presented
the loyal and dutiful address (containing 500 signatures)
from the inhabitants of the Royal Manor of Portland.
The Captain received his Royal Highness on landing, and
headed the deputation, consisting of the civic authorities
of the Royal Manor.
On the conclusion of this address,

Ilia ROYAL HIGHNESS said—l thank you sincerely for
the address which you have just presented to me. The
work of which I am about to lay the foundation-stone,
whilst it is of great national importance as forming a
secure harbour of refuge for ships of the royal navy, and
for merchant vessels freighted with the commerce of the
whole world, will, I trust, bo also of especial service to
this neighbourhood by increasing its trade, and spread
ing employment among its labouring population. Her
Majesty the Queen in passing along this coast has al-
ways viewed the Isle of Portland and the town of Wey-
mouth with particular interest, from the associations
connected with it.
The ceremony of laying the foundation-stone was then
proceed( d with, the Rev. D. Hogarth, re ctor
the of Port-
land, -
commencing with a short prayer; aud Lou
Prayer and Benediction followed.
The Prince next deposited a sovereign, half-sovereignfasirlvtiieirn,d
