[ADVERTISHMENT.]THE GREAT POPULARITY OF
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS IN THE WENT 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 SOCIETY....
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, ii
the room of Mr. Richardson, resigned. Mr. H. Pownall
took the chair, and the polling commenced at eleven
o'clock. Tho candidates for the office were Mr. Mence,
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 $B7 polled
fur Mr. Menc,e, 47 for Mr. Garraway, 11 for Mr. Sims-
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 secre-
tary would be most ably discharged by him. Mr. Mence
having return,?d thanks, the meeting separated. It is the
intention of t'4l3e society to increase the amount of their
pensions from. 275. to 325. per month.
THE BISHOP ELECT OF MANCHESTER.—Sunday
had been ap pointed for the consecration of Dr. Lee,
at Whitehall Chapel; but the ceremony was postponed
until, it was understood, after the trial of the criminal
information filed by the prelate elect, against Mr. Gut-
teridge.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy.
Sales 3,500 bales, of which 500 were American. Ame-
rican sorts were 4111. to 6d. per lb. Shares have been
generally firm.
The arrival from the United States brings intelligence
of a satisfactory character upon the whole, and, as the
exchange keeps up, there is likely to bo a good amount
of specie brought in.
There is nothing new in the City. The large house
which has been in want of funds has not even now, it is
said, quite completed its guarantee list, but there is not
the least doubt entertained of success.
Aecounts from Mons state that the failure of flenne-
kin() Breard had caused much anxiety, and that other
houses had been compelled, .in consequence, to obtain
pecuniary aid.
The Funds have varied but little to-day. Consols
have realised 85 to i for Money, and 85/ 4 for Account.
The Now Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been
854 to 854. Bank Stock has been steady at 187 to 189.
Exchequer-bills are 2s. discount to par.
The Foreign Bonds have been quiet. Spanish Five
per Cents. are 174, and the Three per Cents. 284 to 29.
Mexican are rather better, viz., 164 to 17. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. have been 544.
Railway Shares have been rather dull, but maintain
their value.
