N. 0 TICE TO THE PUBLIC.
REGISTRATION OF LETTERS.
GENERAL POST OFFICE, DEC. 1840.
On and after the 6th January next a system of Registration
will be adopted, which will be applicable to all descriptions of
Letters without distinction, whether they contain coin or arti-
cles of value or not.
The Fee for Registration will be One Shilling, which to-
gether with the Postage, must be paid in advance.
Letters presented for the purpose of 'Registration, beariag a
sufficient number of Stamps, will be considered paid tetliers,,`
but the Registrition Fee of One Shilling must always be paid
rStsiey.
the case of Foreign, Colonial, or Ship Letters, it must
be clearly understood, that Registration cannot extend beyond
the Port of despatch in the United Kingdom, though parties,
if they wish it, may register such letters as far as the Port of
despatch. Letters, however, addressed to France, and Letters
using through France, are exceptions to this rule, the French
Post-office undertaking to provide for their security till they
shall have been delivered, if addressed to France and so long as
they remain in the French Territory, if passing through France.
On Letters of the former description, namely, Letters addressed
to France, Double the French Rate to the Place of Destination
roust be paid in addition to the British Rate and the British
Registration Fee ; on Letters passing through France, only the
Usual Rates will be taken, in addition to the British Registra-
tion Fee.
As a general rule, no Letter can be received in order to be
Registered, unless it shall be brought to the Post-office, half-
an-}sour before the closing of the Box for the particular Mail,
by which it is to be despatched. It may, however, be neces-
sary to take longer time in some few cases where severe pres-
sure is apprehended.
Small Sums can be remitted through the Post-office, by
means of Money Orders, without risk, at the following rates of
charge, viz.:—Three Pence for any Sum not exceeding Two
Pounds, and Sixpence for any Sum above Two Pounds, and
tot exceeding Fire Pounds.
With the great convenience thus afforded for transmitting
small Sums at so low a charge, and the power now given of
registering Letters containing value, it is hoped the Public will
to longer forward Letters of value, except in one or other of
these mkhods.
If however persons are willing to incur such a risk, should
the articles forwarded be Notes, or Cheques payable at sight,
they should be cut in halves, and the second halves should not
be despatehed until the receipt of the first has been acknowledged.
The numbers, dates, and amounts, should' also be carefully
taken. By Command,
W. L. MAIIERLY, Secretary. _

RE-ANIMATION.
THE MEDICINAL EFFECTS of STEEL,
as a strengthener and restorative, have been known for
tee to excel those of all other articles of the Materia Aledica,
&nd in this age of luxury and dissipation, when the indiscretions
'bf youth disappoint the expectation of maturity, it is net to be
wondered thatp a medicine of such efficacy as SEDDON'S
genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES of SIEEL should have
attracted the attention of the first medical men in Europe.
When the most important functions of life are suspended, and
tose who are invalids by inheritance or imprualence are reduced
the most deplorable state of nervous debility, it is not in
‘"'Vair that relief is to be found. It has been ascertained, be-
)nd a doubt that these circumstances are occasioned by a ge-
tirral or partial relaxation or weaknesses in either sex ; and it
equally certain that SEDDON'S LOZENGES arc the best,
if mot the only remedy ever diseovered for this species of de-
bil "ity. When taken into the stomach they immeshately diffuse
th, tanselves like a vapour through evory pore, producing effects
4t once delightful, salutary, and permanent. 'When the spark
,21 Pile begins to grow dim, the clicu!ation, languid, and the
face g ties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to ive tone to
the nerves, exhilirate the animal spirits, invigorate the body,
and re-animate the whole man. \Vhen aversion to exercise,

111OS1 IMPORTANT
SCDIENCE.ISCOVERY IN MEDICAL
Vincet veritas et prevalebit."
FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EI\IBROCA-
TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, RHEUMA-
TIC GoUT, DOULEROUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA-
TICA„ RHEUMATIC FEVER, QUINSEY, See., is now
I°4' the, first time introduced to the notice of the public ; al-
though in the present age of imposture it is difficult to put for-
ward a. truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be
eunfour ided with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on
the put lic eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred
the pre ,prietor of Fearer 's Embrocation from advertisinir it.
Feeling !, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be-
nefits it will confer on mankind, he conscientiously believes
that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the corn-
ilsou lee lirw's of humanity towards his fellow-crereatuhesre:3, and of
duty tow 'arils himself. He, therefore, no longitates to
adopt th is mode of making this wonderful remedy generally
Known, hat the afflicted may have an opportunity of enjoying
the biessrxigs it Offers them. This specific was revealed to the
proprietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him-
self of a eery obstinate case of inflammatory gout of thirty
Years' f leading, and although on that occasion he ha(' been
confine dto his boil-room for two months, he was enabled to
walk ti en miles within six hours after the application. Since
that ?e riod thousands, from the noble to the peasant, have been
tured t it. In short, it is no exaggeration to assert that it has
never 1 ,eon 1-..aown to fad in offectinff a cure, where the oroprie-
t°t% i nstruetauns have been attended to. Its extraordinary
efficaey has been for years tested by several medical gentlemen
of disitinguishei eminence, who declare it to be he greatest
,e-o- rely every made in medical science. The siperiority it
l'"gr Fses over every other remedy consists in its bring an in-
noxious vegetable eomp,ound, in the perfect security with
vgitiell it emiy be used (outwardly) by the most afflicted and
timid, patient, and in the certainty of its being a S,3utitl, safe,
awl radium; exterminator of the above-named maladies in all
their terrifi le and ag,•nizing forms. Original testimonials in
conirmatioti are in the hands of the Proprietor, Noy 2 and 3,
Pri(lay-strer t, for the inspection of those who miy wish to
ratify themselves on the subject.
