THE CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM
is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo-
derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu-
tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable
state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that
betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys-
tem, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu-
arity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im-
potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not
confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has
received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and un-
prolific frame; the delicate female, whom an immured and in-
active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other
weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers,
brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a 'consumptive •
habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un-
timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in.men
or women, aro under the immediate influence of tills restorative.
Old coughs, a.;thmas, and consumptive habits ardsoon relieved,
and speedily cured. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will,
ere long, meet the happiest change : the chill, watery !laid will
oecome rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh,
firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis-
orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended
to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of
studious application, or a. lifteet pleasure, have fallen into a
despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp-
tom, commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons the
mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to
them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with
domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

brought on by a delusive habit; all its attendant sympathies
considered, and the whole illustrated by striking cases, accom-
panied with full and explicit directions for an effectual and

medical assistance; it also contains many hints, and advice well
worth knowing.

We are glad to announce that a sudden and
complete thaw seems at length to have arrived, to release
us from that state of blockade in which we have been
placed for some weeks. Up to yesterday, the 25th instant,
there were no symptoms of change. The most intense
frost, and frequent falls of snow, prevailed in all directions.
The severity of the weather has produced sad changes.
The river Spey," says a correspondent in Badenoch,
" has disappeared from our polar landscape—frozen up,
and covered with snow. With great difficulty can even a
scanty supply of water be procured ; the mills are all
stopped. Hundreds of moorfowl may be seen in the
morning, between the corn yard and barn-door, associated
with the domestic poultry. For the last three weeks the
robin redbreast has taken regular possession of the barn.
unterrified by the swinging of the noisy flail." The
average depth of the snow is eighteen inches, but at short
intervals occur long wreaths of from ten to twenty feet.

PARLIAMENT.—The system of Parliaments
commenced under the Saxon Government ; but the
first regular ono was in 1204, during the reign of
Klrg :ohn. The epoch of the House V Commons 's
g-ner.lly considered to be January 23, 1265, under Henry
and the first Peer's eldest son who ever sat in
the Lower House was Francis Russell, son of the Earl of
Bedford, and who was the brother of the William Rus-
sell so celebrated for his milftary services in Ireland (of
which he was for some time Lord Deputy) in the time
of Elizabeth. In 1649, after the death of Charles, a
Peer was elected, 'and sat as a member of the House of
Common;. Parliamentary grants were originally made
to the King in
_kind ; and in 1340, 30,000 sacks of wool
are included in the grant then made.

or ENGLAND.—Deafness, and those who are slightly dull of hearing,'
'and find a difficulty to catch the sound of a distant low slice e ,
at a public assembly, will find a most astonishing advantage from
the use of the Messrs. S. and B. Solotnons' newly. invented Inv isi.
ble Operati' e Voice Conductor, which, when fixed into the cavity of
the ear is so small as not to be the least perceptible, nor more un..-
can finable than having a piece of wool its its place. By this extra.
ordinary and valuable invention, not only does the hearing become
Lcu'e, b it the ears are so mu.ls improved from their use, that indivi-
duals in a great number ofinstances,can hear most distinctly v.l Loot
th.m. It will therefore be seen that persons do not incur any con-
re.ant habit of being compelledatisli times to make use of them, and
in consequence at the numerous individuals having been altogether
relieved from deafness, they have become in general use. The
Messrs. Solomons' Newly.invented Spectacle Lenses, immediately
Vey are placed before inarrfect eyesight, either by day or candle-
light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute
particle is seen with exact distinctness. Their valuable improve-
ments in the material are secrets to themselves, and are solely. con-
