[ADVERTISRMENT.]—THE GREAT POPULARITY OF
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS IN THE WEST IN-
DIES IN THE CURE OF ALL SKIN DISEASES.—A young
gentleman, residing in St. Kitt's, was afflicted with a
most distressing skin disease, termed " the Shingles."
He had the best medical advice that could be obtained in
the island, but finding that he derived no benefit from
their treatment, he determined on having recourse to
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which had a most grati-
fying effect, for in a very limited period these invaluable
remedies completely cured him. Mr. T. C. Cable, of St.
Kitt's, vouches for the accuracy of this statement.—Sold
by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION 50C1ETY.,....
Yesterday a meeting of the subscribers to this old-esta-
blished charity was held at the London Tavern, for the
purpose of electing a secretary to the above society, in
the room of Mr. Richardson, resigned. Mr. H. Pownall
took the chair, and the polling commenced at eleven
o'clock. The candidates for the office were Mr. Alence,
Mr. Garraway, Mr. Simester, and the Rev. Mr. Sweet.
At three o'clock the polling closed, and after a brief
delay, occasioned by the votes having to undergo a
scrutiny, the numbers were declared to be as follows :-
356 subscribers voted, and of that number 257 polled
for Mr. Mence, 47 for Mr. Garraway, 11 for Mr. Sime-
ster, and 11 for the Rev. Mr. Sweet. The chairman
then declared the election to have fallen upon Mr. Mence,
and in a brief address to that gentleman, expressed his
conviction that from the large number of votes polled in
his favour, the subscribers felt that the duties of seem-
tary would be most ably discharged by him. Mr. Mence
having returned thanks, the meeting separated. It is the
intention of the society to increase the amount of their
pensions from 275. to 325. per month.
THE BISHOP ELECT OF MANCHESTER.—Sunday

at Whitehall Chapel; but the ceremony was

information filed by the prelate elect against Mr. Gut-
teridge.
