TO THE STUDIOUS, SEDENTARY, &c.

DR. SOLOMON'S CELEBRATED COR-
DIAL BALM OF GILEAD, which is highly esteemed
for nourishing and invigorating the Nervous System. and acting as a ge_
'sera' Restorative to debilitated Constitutions. By its use the cold and
tremulous nerves are warmed and steadied ; the relaxed fibres, or soft
flabby flesh, braced and rendered firm; the muscles are invigorated, and
the exhausted vessels replenished.
Females and the studious, as well as the sedentary part of the commu-
nity, should not he without the Cordial Balm of Gilead, which removes
diseases in the head, invigorates the mind, improves the memory, and
enlivens the imagination ; revives and exhilarates the languid drooping
spirits, promotes digestion, and braces the nerves.
The virtues of the Cordial Bahn of Gilead are daily demonstrated, in
eradicating the most distressing symptoms of nervous debility ; but no-
thing has tended snore to establish the fame of this medicine, than its
certain success in those complaints, resulting from the vicious practices
of thoughtless youth, which strike their roots deeply in the constitution,
and are so fatal to the happiness of mankind. By taking this medicine
according to the directions, the deplorable symptoms of disease gradually
disappear, and strength, serenity, and every evidence of renovated health
are the happy result.

Larrey recently presented to the French Aca-
demy of Sciences the fossil head of a bear, called the great
cavern bear by Cuvier. It was found in the grottos of Mia_
let, department of Gard. It does not appear that there at
present exists any species at all resembling it ; and the ex-
cellent state of preservation in which it was discovered in-
duced M. Larrey to purchase it. M. St. Hilaire was
charged with its examination, for the purpose of drawing up a
report upon it.
About a fortnight ago a grocer of Paris lost his
pocket-book, containing bank-notes to the amount of 9,000
francs. He immediately advertised a reward of I,ooof. for its
recovery with its contents. On Sunday a person of genteel ,
appearance brought the lost book to its owner, who immedi-
ately took out a note for 1,000 f., and offered it to the bearer
in performance of his promise. The latter politely requested
the grocer to give him his reward in specie. This was readily
complied with, and the parties separated, after expressing their
mutual acknowledgments. The satisfaction of the grocer,
however, was soon converted into a very opposite feeling; for,
in the evening, being in want of silver, he sent ono of the
notes to be changed, but, alas ! it was returned to him as an
evident forgery. The remaining contents of the pocket-book
were then examined, and found to be nothing more than the
same false paper. Thus the worthy shopkeeper, instead of
9,000 f., has been robbed of Io,ooof.
A
PRETENDED MAGICIANS.—The under-mentioned
rogues were lately arraigned before the Tribunal of Correc-
tional Police at Altkirch, in the Lower Rhipe, for having frau-
dulently obtained from a widow, named Rein, a sum of 1,200 f.
by means of the following delusions :--They induced her to
believe that there were great treasures buried in a field near
her house, which she would be able to discover if she would
contribute to deliver a certain number of souls out of purga-
iory. To accomplish this it was represented to her that the
possession of a certain cross of gold, belonging to the Arch-
bishop of Friburg, was 'necessary, but to induce him to part
with it money was required. The infatuated widow produced
the needful, and the party appeared with the sacred instrument
of exorcism, which was produced in Court; and proved to be
no more than a piece of copper. Zehringer, the leader of this
shameful farce, and who personated a reverend ecclesiastic,
appeared with his confederates, and having made their dupe
send every person out of the house, he made a circle with a
wand, and placed all present on their knees around it. Atter
in each hand, having closedthend, teing
shutter,ut utter
he went out and returned with a
candle
something in a language the
widow did not understand. This was followed by low mean-
ings and other sounds, which were said to come from the
tormented souls. The pretended priest then went to a
drawer in the room, and taking out a pack of cards, scat-
tered them about, reprobating them as the amusements of
the devil. The holy man, in order to perfect the purification,
sprinkled what he called " holy water." Th a noise, however,
were repeated, and then the devil made a violent knocking at
the door, but was driven away by blows as strong, given by
Zehringer with the handle of the brush used for the holy water.
Here the ceremony ended for the time ; the performers retired,
and the widow Rein never saw them or her money afterwards.
After the above details had been given by her, Zehringer, who
is a Swiss, was interrogated. He boldly denied the whole story,
but admitted that lie bad been sentenced in his own country to
hard labour at the public works for 30 years, for having mur-
dered his father-in-law, and had also been condemned for coin-
ing. Cronenberger, another accomplice, also denied the facts,
but allowed that be had been condemned for frauds committed
by him. Sanner and his wife also denied any participation in
the fraud. Ribestein, the last, admitted the facts, but pre-
tended that he had no evil intentions. Zehringer and Cro-
neif)erger were condemned to be imprisoned for ten years,
Sanner's wife for five years, and Sanner and Ribestein for two
months. Galignani's Messenger,

Custom-house, London, Sept. 22, 1836.

Thursday, the Bth inst., as the Nottingham and
Grantham mail was on its return to Grantham, the coachman
commenced pulling up at Little Gonerby, near the residence
of M. Robertson, in order to lock the wheel previously to de-
scending the hill, when, from the sudden stopping of one of
the horses, the Names snapped in two ; the coach in conse-
quence pressed upon the horses, and they becoming unma-
nageable proceeded at fearful speed down the hill. On ap-
proaching the dangerous corner of the Blue Bell Inn, the
coachman was unable to prevent their taking too short a
turn ; the coach was therefore jerked upon the causeway and
thrown over into the road. One of the passengers, Mr. Ed.
wards, from Market Wei,Thton, near York, had a leg broken ;
and Satchard, the coachman, sustained a very severe injury
in one of his. ancles ; the other passengers providentially es-
caped without any very serious inconvenience. No blame
appears to have been attributable to any one.—Lincoln Ga-
zette.

A mechanic, a whitesmith by trade, named Nichol-
son, of the town of Enniscorthy, has invented a new carriage,
on most simple principles. It is very ingeniously constructed,
having three wheels, one in front and two behind—the latter
about three feet in diameter, the former one and a half. It i=
propelled by an iron handle which the guide moves to and
fro with the right hand, and not tiresome, being quite a gen-
tle motion; on the left there is a small lever to
be
by the finger when any obstruction appe pars on the road, which
raises the first wheel over such impediments, and touched
guide from receiving any shock or interruption. r,ervhetlt so tvteer
i
the small wheel there is a handle, or tiller-stick, to be touched
when the driver wishes to turn the gig, and which is done in-
stantaneously ; there is another spring for the foot, which re-
tards the progress of the machine. The maker is quite con-
fident of its ultimate success, and says be can improve on the
general principle, the present model being too small to contain
more than one person ; and we suppose the driver or guide
would work it for eight or ten miles without tiring. It
.has
taken the artist some years in its completion, and we wish him
every success and encouragement to which his genius and in-
dustry justly entitle birn.—Dublin Paper.

Within a less space of time than some years from this
present writing, and within a distance of little more than
100 miles from Temple-bar, the following plot and counter-
plot was enacted in real real life. A functionary of the
law, whose practice consisted chiefly in touching the slippery
or the forgetful, whose names might, perchance, have for
an inconvenient length of time graced the ledgers of
tradesmen and others, entertained a strong penchant for
theatrical speculation, in consequence of which he became
the lessee of one of the theatres in a large town. At the
same time that he was employed in beating for his coips
dranzatique, he chanced to be employed in his own imme-
mediate profession with a retentive claim upon an actor,
whose services he deemed it would be most desirable to
secure. Under these circumstances a negotiation com-
menced, the manager thus, as he considered, placed in a
situation to drive the best possible bargain, and the actor,
considering that he must make the best bargain which
he possibly could. From purely the same principle of
feeling oppositely applied did both keep each other in
amiable confidence, and the world in the dark. The ma-
nager offered a salary that the actor accepted, on the un-
derstanding that the claim, which was one of considerable
amount, should be immediately advanced to the clamorous
creditor, and that the same should be refunded by weekly
instalments from the said actor's salary, Until the whole
should be duly liquidated. All this was agreed to, and only
waited to he legally enrolled in the tangible shape of articles
of engagement. Of course the functionary of the law took
care always to forget that he had seen the actor during the
progress of this business, and he was permitted to be at
large. At length the campaign of the season drew towards
the commencement, and the actor deemed it prudent, as he
represented, that the writings should be ratified, signed, and
sealed. He pleaded prior convivial engagements as a reason
why he could not attend upon the lawyer until the following
Monday, and among others, that he was engaged to make
one of a party of pleasure in a voyage on the Sabbath to a
sea-port, at a few miles distance. The Manager had no ob-
jection to the delay. He said he would gladly meet the
actor at the sea-port, on the Sabbath, with his Solicitor,
and then and there, over a bottle of the generous Tuscan
juice and a pork-chop, close the bargain finally ; but, under
present circumstances, it would be impolitic that they should
be seen in public together until all was properly adjusted
with the creditor. The Sabbath came ; the actor, pith his
party of pleasure, sailed for the place of appointment. The
Manager drove over-land the little journey, and took up his
residence at a pleasantly situated inn, commanding a de-
lightful marine view. He looked and looked with many
an anxious look for the expected arrival, but still the actor
came not. He, good soul, was enjoying himself on board
a ship lying off the port, from which, by the aid of the
telescope, he and his friends could distinctly mark the
anxious attention of the impatient manager at the window.
The day had waxed more than half its age when the ship
set sail with a favourable breeze, and the wily actor, taking
farewell, sailed off on a foreign voyage. The truth was,
that during all the time he had been parleying with the
cunning negotiator, he had obtained this lucrative engage-
ment, and the party of pleasure was perfectly chastely
described, for theyconsisted of those who had come to enjoy
the pleasure of witnessing his departure to a country of
promised prosperity. He went, and they were pleased—not
so the manager, who was totally ignorant of all 'that was
taking place on the water—he blamed the actor dreadfully
for lack of punctuality, and after waiting until hope--that
so long had lingered—had now expired, he took his depar-
ture in not the best of humour, carrying with him the un-
executed deed of engagement, and also the unliquidated
instrument of detention, one or both of which he was de-
termined should be fully implemented on the following day,
or the actor should, at short notice, be called upon, sans
consent, 'to take a part in Lock and Key. We shall not
attempt to paint his feelings when he ascertained the real
state pf things—let the reader draw upon his own imagi-
nation—let him suppose a cunning crafty man out-e•bene-
ralled—heaten with the weapon upon which he piquedhim-
self in being the best skilled—picture this—think how he
would act under these circumstances, and you will, with
small trouble to yourself, furnish a befitting tag to the dra-
matic incident.—Morning Advertiser.

LONDON IMPROVEMENTS.—To those who re-
member the Strand as7it was twenty years ago, and who wit-
ness it now, and who also have seen the late wonderful im-
provement in it—the gas by night, and the cleanliness by day
—and who recollect what Swallow-street was, and see what
Regent-street is, the following paragraph, copied from the
" Annual Register," may not be uninteresting :—" The new
pavement from Charing-cross to Temple-bar, which was begun
at the first of these places, was this day ended at the latter,
and the communication opened for carriages. Those who
have not seen this new pavement can scarcely imagine the al-
teration made by the taking down of signs and fixing up of
lights in a regular manner. It may be said that no street in
London, paved, lighted, arid filled with signs, fixed in the old
way, ever made so agreeable an appearance, or afforded better
walking, than the Strand does in the new. But, great as the
alteration in the Strand may be, that in St. James's street
greatly surpasses it : in short, too much cannot be said in
praise of those noblemen and gentlemen who first promoted
this improvement, and have so steadily carried it on in spite of
all the obstacles thrown in the way, and all the cavils against
the proceedings."—Annual Register Chronicle, July 12,1765.
The managers of the Petnninsula Steam Navigation
Company gave a grand entertainment on Wednesday last on
board the Iberia, a splendid steam-ship, of 600 tons, which
they have lately launched. A large company sat down to
dinner in the principal cabin, which is fitted up in a style of
tasteful elegance that called forth general admiration. After
dinner a series of appropriate toasts, among which were " The
Queen of Spain," " The Queen of Portugal," &c., was given,
and elicited eloquent addresses from Baron Moncorvo, the
Portuguese Ambassador, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, Mr.
G. F. Young, M. P., and other gentlemen connected with the
Peninsula, or with the commercial interests of the country.
A feeling of deep interest was manifested for the success of an
undertaking, which promises to be so beneficial in its effects,
and a just tribute of praise was bestowed upon Messrs. Wilcox
and Anderson, to whose talents and enterprise it is owing that
the noble scheme of establishing a regular steam communication
between Great Britain and the Peninsula has been carried into ef-
fect. In the evening dancing commenced on the quarter-deck,
under the awning, and was kept up with great spirit for a consi-
derable time, when the company broke up highly delighted with
the day's entertainment. Among the improvements adopted
en board of the Iberia nothing attracted so much admiration as
the plan for converting salt-water into fresh, which is accom-
plished by a simple, but ingenious contrivance. •So com-
pletely has this grand desideratum been obtained, that a gallon
of pure water is the produce of every pound of coal consumed
in the process. The destination of the Iberia is for Lisbon,lCadiz,
Gibraltar, mid Madeira. To those whose unfortunate state of
health may induce them to resort to the salubrious air of the
last-mentioned island, a regular and periodical mode of con-
veyance is now for the first time afforded.
RAPID PROSPERITY.—The following circum-
stances took place last week in the neighbourhood- of Lymp-
stone. A farmer whose wife was on the point of confinement,
requested the nurse on his retiring to bed, that she would let
him have the earliest -intelligence of any increase of family.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 24.—8 y the arrival of the Hermes
steam-vessel, we have accounts from Malta to the 3d inst.,
and from Gibraltar to the I2th. The following is from a
Correspondent :
" MALTA, SEPT. 3, 1836.—Sir Josias Rowley, with his
squadron, is cruising in the Archipelago, and has been
joined by the French squadron, under Admiral 'Hugon,
consisting of one ship of 120 guns, two of 92, and two of
80 guns, with a barque and four brigs. The small pox
has been prevalent among the Frenchmen, but no cases
have occurred in the English ships, though much friendly
visiting has taken place among the officers. The Ameri-
can frigates United States, Constitution, Potomac, and
John Adams, are at Smyrna. The only men of war lying at
Malta, are the Ceylon (with Sir T. Brigg's flag), Asia, and
Tartarus steamer. The Portland is at Salamis. Further in-
quiries have been pursued relative to the fate of Mr. Cooper,
the purser of this ship, and though it appears the most
uninterrupted exertions have been made by the civil and
military authorities at Corinth, his fate yet remains a
mystery. The Medea was at Zante on the 30th ultimo,
the Sapphire is at Corfu, the Orestes and Jaseur are at
Gibraltar,!and the Magicienne is at Cadiz. On the 20th ult.
the whole of the troops off duty at Malta were formed in a
square on the parade at Florian, to witness the public degra-
dation of two men sentenced by a general Court-martial to
transportation, namely, James Edwards, a private of the sth
regiment, for mutinous conduct in repeatedly and deliberately
disobeying his superior officer, by refusing to go to drill, and
for having a musket flinted and loaded in the barrack-room
without orders, sentenced to 14 years' transportation ; and
Drummer Patrick Ardle, of the 70th regiment, for insubor-
dination, in having struck a corporal with a drawn sword,
he being at the time in the execution of his duty, sentences
to transportation for life. They were both men of general
bad character, and had been before convicted of other
crimes. The prisoners were brought into the middle of the
square, and their sentence having been publicly read, they
were divested of their military dresses, which their vices and
violence had disgraced. The felon's chains were then at-
tached to their legs, and they were thus prepared for the
hard destiny to which they are doomed in this world, upon
reaching the place of their incessant toil and ignominious
drudgery. Private John Patten, of the 92d Highlanders,
was also paraded with the above convicts, having been con-
demned by the same court-martial to one year's imprison..
meat, for refusing to go to drill, and for using threatening
language. to the sergeant in the execution of his duty. In
awarding so mild a pueishment the court was influenced by
the previous good character of the prisoner, to which several
officers, under whose observation he had lately been, gave
evidence."

The Alert packet has brought papers from Jamaica to
the 10th instant. The island was perfectly tranquil, but
the crops are represented to fall far below those of last year.
The Marquis of Sligo was expected to leave for England
in his Majesty's ship Forte, but the day bad not been
announced.

The Carron steamer arrived at Jamiaca from Barbadoes
on the 6th August. The Harpy, 10, sailed on a cruise on

Merritt, arrived on the 3d. The Dee steamer left Ja-
maica for St. Thomas on the Ist of August ; Pickle schoo-
ner, for Chagres, on the 28th July ; the Nimrod, 20, was
at Carthagena. The Forte, 44, and Magnificent, with
Cruisier, 16, were at Port Royal Harbour. Lord Sligo
had been in the Dee steamer to Port au Prince, in St.
Domingo, but with what object was unknown.
The Catherine Stewart Forbes transport, Lieut. Thomp-
son, agent, arrived this afternoon, after a passage of one
month, from Halifax, with the head-quarters of the Ist
battalion of Rifles on board, under the command of Colo-
nel Eccles. They will proceed at once to Chatham to
join the remainder of the regiment at Canterbury. The
Melville, 74, was the only man-of-war left at Halifax. The
Maitland, Lieutenant Binstead, agent, may be hourly ex-
pected with the 2d or Royals, from Quebec.
The transports Barossa, Lieutenant Goodland, Mr. Le-
wis Gray master ; and Parmelia, Lieutenant Davison, Mr.
J. L. Spence, master ; arrived on Thursday at the Mo-
therbank, from Corfu ; the former having on board 15
officers and 494 soldiers of the 88th Regiment, and three
distressed British subjects ; and the latter with 10 officers
and 233 non. commissioned officers and privates of the 42d
Royal Highlanders, together with women and children, and
naval and military invalids. The Barossa came into har-
bour on Thursday evening, and yesterday morning disem-
barked the 88th Regiment, which is now quartered in this
garrison. The Parmelia will proceed to Leith to disembark
the 42d, where the remaining companies of this regiment
are already stationed.

In Harbour—Britannia, Victory, Excellent, Royal
George, Jupiter, Inconstant, Conway, and Barossa transport.
At Spithead—Pique, Parmelia and Catharine Stewart
Forbes transports.
PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY, SEPT. 23.—The Alban steamer,
Lieut. E. B. Tinling, arrived on Sunday from Woolwich,
and sailed again on the 21st for Falmouth, whence she will
take the mail to the_West Indies, as also a large sum of
money for the different islands. The Comus, 18, which
has been lying in the Sound for some time past, to receive
the sick men belonging to the Minden, was on Wednesday
towed into the harbour by the Phoenix, there being no fur-
ther occasion for her, as that part of the crew which had
been on the sick list are restored to health and returned to
to their duty. The Russell, 74, Captain Sir W. H. Dil-
lon, will be ready to go out of harbour next week, and is
ordered to join the squadron under Rear-Admiral Sir
Charles Paget. The Partridge, 10, Lieut. Bisson, arrived
yesterday from a cruise, and sailed again to join Sir C.
Paget. The Hercules, 74, Captain Beikeley, will be taken
into dock this day, to have her bottom inspected. The
Minden, 74, Captain Sharpe, C. 8., is ordered to cruise for
a day or two, to exercise her ship's company.
In Hamoaze—Royal Adelaide, San Josef, Russell, Her-
cules, Fly, and Phcenix. Capt. Ericcson went out in the Part-
ridge on her late cruise, for the purpose of trying the merits
of his newly-invented sounding machine, both in moderate
and stormy weather, and it is reported to have answered
extremely well, when the vessel was going seven knots, and
at a depth of GOO fathoms. The Diligence, navy transport,
arrived here on Monday last from Passages, which place
she left on the 10th inst. with condemned and other naval
and victuelling stores ; she has brought home as passengers
Colonel Considine and Colonel O'Meara, of the British
Legion ; also Lieutenant Langley, Royal Marines, and
three privates, who are gone to the hospital. The Tweed
and Viper schooner and a French frigate and brig were at
Passages when the Diligence left. At St. Sebastian, the
Pearl, Royalist, Salamander, Comet, and Plujo, and the
Isabella and Rainha steamers, belonging to the Spanish
Government. The weather had been very boisterous, and
the Royalist had lost two anchors. Scarce a day passes
without some skirmishing between the Legion and the
Carlists, and the casualties on the part of
the former are
numerous.

DUCK AND GREEN PEAS.—It is a curious fact,
that at the late South Essex Horticultural Shcw, the prize for
green peas was gained by Mr. Duck.
SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday forenoon, a
fatal accident happened to a child, about two years old, in the

f _ t;tri is Mr. Stringer. His bailiff occupies the house, and on
IN edllesday some person got admittance through a window,
and stole 10 sovereigns in gold and a quantity of cloths.
We are informed that this economical man several years ago
saved 301., which he hoarded up in bank-notes, but thew were
eaten by mice. After that calamity he resolved to hoard hard
cash only, and this has disappeared by bipeds, as the pa:der did
by qtr.drupeds.—Shrewsbusy Chronicle.
