in a few minutes a passage of the bowels merely with a
little water ; and ought, therefore, to induce those who are in
the habit of taking purgatives to relinquish that practice, or it
will ultimately produce more mischief than costiveness itself.
This elegant little apparatus is superior to all lavement machines
and syringes, inasmuch as it does not introduce air—may be
carried to any part of the house (when filled) in a pocket or
reticule. which is a great convenience—is applied with ease by
the most nervous—and will not get out of repair in any cli-

INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, by
which thousands of Deaf Persons have been greatly benefited,
is not larger than a seven-shilling-piece, and when fixed into
the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more uncomfort-
able nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place.
By its use the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard
with distinctness.

jesties the King and Queen of Hanover and their Royal High-

PARR'S LIFE PILLS.
Extract from the Third Series of Cures effected by this
extraordinary Medicine.
SECOND LETTER FROM MR. OSBORNE.
" Gentlemen,—l write to inform you that I have returned
on foot from Liverpool, and many of my old friends here are
indeed astonished at my altered appearance and activity. I
must also inform you that my brother-in-law, Mr. W. J.
Barrel, of this town, has, through my wonderful restoration to
life and sound health, made use of Parr's Life Pills, and their
effects on him have, if possible, been even more miraculous than
on myself. He had suffered from a most distressing asthma,
cough,&e., for above seven years, but, after using ono box at
2s. 9d., d.,
is quite a new being. The most remarkable part of
his case is this—his finger and toe nails, which had become so
diseased that they were quite unsightly, have been replaced by
new and perfect ones. This has been considered by many vvlic
have visited him as a curiosity and wonder ; for my part, I have
ceased to wonder at any cure effected by Old Parr. I continue
to enjoy the best of health and

charged incurable by the Regimental Doctors.
" Hinckley, July 27, 1841."
In no one instance has this invaluable Medicine failed, when
duly persevered in, to afford relief, even in the oldest and most
inveterate cases ; if any, from want of confidence or fickleness,
discontinue their use to, early, and thus leave unaccomplished
what they desired, are they to attribute the fault to the medi-
cine? Certainly not; but to their own love of change and
want of patience. Celsus has justly remarked, that " Diseases
slow in their progress go off very slowly; and that time is ne-
cessary to remove the deeply-rooted evils which time has occa-
sioned." This should be borne in mind by all suffering from
disease deeply-rooted in the system, to impart patience and per-
severance in the use of this medicine ; and where the disorder
seems obstinate, they may rest fully assured that time will effect
aradical and perfect cure.

The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, which
the world are severally anxious to fulfil, are the inhereut privi-
leges of mankind, and but for the accidents of mortality would
be awarded equally to all. To such, among others, this essay
addresses itself; and, by its perusal, many questions may be
satisfactorily adjusted, that admit of no appeal, even to the
most confidential friend. To fan the spark of hope, to dissi-
pate groundless alarm, to restore failing confidence, and point
to the means of securing a happy old age, is no trifling recom-
mendation of an effort directly tending to the social and moral
welfare of all classes of the community.

The following aye a few Of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published :
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts,
'eve, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. was, we bell The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
`portion of indifferent, useless, and
meet a very considerable pia,
even bad books. With the' force of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little relit, 'ltalica were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entit "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origibi many of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim tai
the character of experienced mu judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in pry, of of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful :perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisf eus that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a 1 ittle indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh .is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the
few books now coining before the :public on such a subject which
can lay claim to tke character of .being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully irntelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precc pts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.
The perusal of Messrs. Curt is's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by des elopineseries of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of The vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion r 'ousted* out between the assigned
cause and the effects is per eeptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work..—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them of a very quksstio nable f•endeney, made us ex-
tremely reluctant to take up arsoth, -sr. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pal ;es, and now feel no hesita •
tom in saying that we arise fror a its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of • the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal t. o youth, and which are set
down by the every-day, oh& srvaa as the result of common
causes, such as exposure to col 'd, :sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that man, T diseases, such as Pulmonary
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hi therto the opprobria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper Arne, and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to s.as favourable a termination
as any other class of ffections. -We ,do not think we go too
far in saying that society is dec ply :indek,ted to the authors for
producing so useful, so much w ante 1, so valuable, and so truly
moral a book.—Conservative J ourns J.
We recommend the work e atitleci " Manhos‘d," &c., to the
careful perusal of persons of • all clan es. The moral as well as
physical advantages sure to result :from such perusal, will be
most readily recognised and its.'t by those who stand most in
need of them.—Statesman.

PRICE 5d

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

After five years of patience in waiting for their annual
interest, the trustees are at length about to declare a di-
vidend to the new renters of Drury-lane Theatre, upon
the 5001. debentures, or new renters' shares, of which
:300 are in existence. Difficulties of a very complicated
character had caused it to be necessary for a friendly
application to be made to the Vice-Chancellor, by whick
three now trustees were appointed. These gentlemen,
acting with much more fairness than their predecessors
(who were timid and lukewarm in their operations, in
consequence of its being generally believed that they
were illegally elected, and that all their acts would be
frustrated), have been able to save something from
the impending ruin of this noble theatre. Several of
the steps they were compelled to take were adopted
after mature deliberation, and after taking various
counsels' opinion, more particularly that of levying a
distraint upon the theatre, they felt that they were con-
strained to act with much determination, and events have
proved that they were correct. Brighter prospects,
however, appear upon the horizon, and it is now gene-
rally hoped and believed that a regular, although a
much reduced dividend, will be annually paid to the new
renters. The amount of the dividend, we understand,
will be 31. Gs. Bd. per annum. That " half a loaf is bet-
ter than no bread" is a very old and very true saying,
and the constituted body of shareholders will doubtless
take this homely saying to their hearts and adopt some
signal mode of thanking the new trustees for saving half
the loaf. The whole has long since been considered in
jeopardy, and we really believe that two-thirds (if not the
whole) of the shareholders will consider the dividend
they are about to receive as so much saved from a
" shocking bad debt," which years ago they had " writ-
ten off," and had very nearly forgotten.
A general meeting of the new renters is advertised to
be held next Wednesday, at Mr. George Robins's, in-
Covent-garden, when the whole of the trust delegited
to those gentlemen now in office will be minutely can-
vas ted and explained. Probably few ,of our readers
fully understand the relative position of the two bodies
of Shareholders, that is, " the new renters, or holders of
500/. shares, and 100/. Shareholders, or Joint-stock Pro-
prietors." The former were the Proprietors of the old
theatre, and in receipt of 251. per season, or 2s. 6d. each
night of performance, for each share of 500/., with a
transferable annual admission ; both originally granted
for 100 years. When the theatre was destroyed by
fire, nothing remained to them of their proud build-
ing but a quantity of rubbish and the ground whereon
it stood. In this emergency Mr. Whitbread came
forward and accomplished the Herculean labour of raising
funds sufficient to rebuild the theatre. The latter of the
two bodies described were those who built the present
theatre. The new renters agreed to accept 121. 10s. per
annum, instead of 25/., and the Proprietors agreed that
all the new renters should receive their 12/. 10s. before
they (the Proprietors) took anything; with this arrange-
ment the theatre was rebuilt, and the Proprietors re-
ceived about two or three dividends, when they ceased,
and from that time to the present nothing whatever has
been paid to them. The annual dividends of 12/. 10s.
were paid with punctuality for a long series of years,
when five years ago they also closed, in consequence of
the ill success of the various lessees, but are now about
to be renewed by a ghost of a dividend ; as for the arrears,
let net the new renters " lay that flattering unction to
their souls," that they will ever see one penny of it ; in-
deed they know they never will. What then is the posi-
tion of Proprietors ? The question will be best an-
swered by saying,_ that their shares of 100/, each will
not now sell fur li. each in the market. The new renters
are represented by three trustees (those gentlemen re-
ferred to at the commencement of this article), the pro-
prietary by a general Committee, from which is chosen
a sub-Committee of five, of which Lord Glengall is
Chairman. This Committee transacts the general busi-
ness of the theatre, and annually submits its affairs to
the trustees. It must be borne in mind that the theatre
in Mr. Whitbread's time—" the high and palmy days of
the drama," used to let for considerably more than double
the rent which it is supposed Mr. Macready is to pay for
the current season.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS .

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OP THIS DAY.
POST.—The announcement to the effect, that
Messrs. Aguirre Solarte and Murieta have been
charged with the office of finance agents to the
Spanish Regency, seems to have excited the
jealousy of the old loan-contracting houses in
the City. Exception is taken to the arrange-
ments made by Senor Surra. y Rull, on the
ground that he has not put the business of the
Three per Cent. Conversion into the hands of
oue or the other of the three well-known firms
in question. Had Mr. Thornton been selected
for the purpose there would have been no dispo-
sition, and as little right, on the part of the
bondholders to find fault, for Mr. Thornton has
done them all the service in his power. Not a
public meeting has been held to take into
consideration the claims of the suffering par-
ties, but Mr. Thornton was present prepared
to take the chair, or to conduce, in any other
way, to the great object in view, that ofZ
obtaining for them the relief so long withheld...
By his great activity upon such occasious.
the claimants of all classes, both Portuguese and.
Spanish, whether holders of the Active or Pas-
sive, the Treasury or Indemnity Bonds of the
two Peninsular Governments, have been placed
by him under obligations of no ordinary kind.
It is to be recollected that Mr. Thornton was
never a participator in the premiums, commis-•
sions, brokerages, and other advantages of va-•
rious kinds, arising out of the Spanish and Por-
tuguese contracts. He has, indeed, been at mucth
expense in furtherance of the comnion cause, in
money as well as in time ; but the individuals
who are thrust forward as more deserving of the
confidence placed in Messrs. Solarte and Murieta,
having pocketed their handsome bonuses, ceased
to trouble themselves, and are, for this and other
reasons, not to be naraed in comparison with Mr.
Thornton or those gentlemen. Mr. Solarte has
from all accounts, been over and over again
offered the office of Finance Minister of Spain, and
his non-acceptance of the post, the emoluments
derivable from. which are notoriously large,
sufficiently answers, we think, for the correct-
ness of the motive which induced him and his
partner to assume the humbler trust of agents
to the Government in London. It is quite
enough for the bondholders that, however exact-
ing the old contracting houses showed them-
selves to be when instalments of loans had to be
paid up, and however ready to attend public
meetings wheal the c;bject was to promote fresh
undertakings, out o/c which enormous gains were
to be made, their presence at a time when the
non-performance of engagements was a question,
is a thing unlimown. This fact speaks volumes,
and is the sarAly reply that need be given to those
who would_ attempt to put their pretensions into
competitio n with those of Messrs. Solarte and
Miurieta, cir of Messrs. liullett, Brothers, and
Co., whose , disinterested conduct, in connection
with the Chilian loan, has given so much satisfac-
tion, and, we may add, produced results so
important.
SUN.- Tile operations in the Stock Market to-day
were circumscribed, on account of the shutting of the
Transfer-I ,00ks, but prices were firmly supported, and were
better befo re the close of business. Consols were done for

EVENING SUN. -

DISTRESS AT BLACKBURN.:
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR—In your paper of Tuesday last, I observed a
letter addressed to you by an inhabitant of this town,
signed a " Friend of the Poor," wherein he regrets the
increasing poverty of the place, and observes that a re-
port prevailed that a subscription was about to be set on
foot, in order, as far as may be, to afford relief to those
whose wants were the most pressing. A meeting his been
convened, and about 370/. was subscribed by those that
attended it, and several gentlemen were appointed to
solicit subscriptions from such as did not attend. Yes-
terday a meeting of the cotton-spinners of this town and
neighbourhood was held at the Bull Inn, in order to con-
sider the propriety of going to short time; when they
unanimously concluded to commence working four days
a week only, on to-morrow. We have had lately three
or four failures, two of them manufacturers by power,
both of which have caused many poor weavers to be
thrown out of employment. Before these recent stop-
pages we have bed three mills brought to a pause, and
the machinery till sold out by the hammer. We have
two other spinning concerns bankrupts. Then, again,
we have had, some time ago, a stoppage of a macine
house that employed from two to three hundred me-
chanics, at wages varying from 30s. to 50s. per week.
Like the mills, this establishment has been gutted, and
now stands a monument to tell the tale of what tho
hated bread-tax has done for this country. The mecha-
nics, who have not been able to obtain work since the
stoppage of Messrs. Davidson and Price, have turned
poachers and distillers of illicit spirits. In their priva-
tions they set the laws at defiance, and are careless of
being consigned to the dungeon, where they know they
will, at least, have the prison allowance dealt out to them..
