A DECIDED CASE of CONSUMPTION
RADICALLY CURED by PARR'S LIFE PILLS.

. TO THE PROPRIETORS.

" GENTLEMEN,—I feel it a duty I owe to you and to the
Public at large, to acknowledge the most important benefit I have
received from PARR'S LIFE PILLS. I was for nine years
a soldier in the 52d Regiment of Foot, and was discharged in
October 1839, in consequence of ill health (being deemed con-
sumptive), after having the best advice her Majesty's service
afforded. I returned to my native town, feeling that my days
could not be long on earth. But by what almost appears an in-
terposition of Providence, my attention was directed to Parr's
Life Pills, and by taking only two 2s. 9d. boxes, I was com-
pletely cured, and am thus a living monument to the good ef-
fected by this valuable medicine. Within the last few days I
have been on a visit to some of my friends in a neighbouring
village, where I was told that It was like seeing one risen
from the dead, to see me walking through their streets.' I
have recommended them to my neighbours, and many of them
have experienced very great benefit from their use.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours, &c. JOHN OSBORNE.
" March 8. 1841.
Witness—James Burgess, Bookseller, Hinckly."
Mr. John Osborne's case was pronounced by the regimental
doctors to be incurable consumption. By the aid of this won-
derful medicine he is now so hearty and active as to be en-
abled to travel on foot, since the date of his recovery, upwards
of 1,200 miles.
CAUTION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.

Purchasers are requested to ask for " Parr's Life Pills," as
their great and deserved reputation, and consequent large sale,
have induced several unprincipled parties to attempt various
imitations. Persons who are desirous of testing the wonderful
efficacy of this medicine, must observe that none are genuine
without the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS be engraved on
the Government Stamp, on white letters on a red ground.
Already actions have been brought, and damages obtained,
against unprincipled parties, who, for the sake of larger gain,
have sold dangerous preparations when asked for " Parr's Life
Pills." The Proprietors are determined to protect the public
from such frauds, by prosecuting all persons engaged either in
preparing or selling any imitation whatever.
Sold by most respectable Medicine Venders in Town and

SINGULAR INSTANCE OF LONGEVITY.—
Died at Valencia, on the 18th of Noveniber, in his 106th
year, Mr. John Murphy, commonly called " Paul
Jones." He had been taken prisoner by that remarkable
man, commanding a French squadron off the coast of
Kerry. When he sent a boat ashore at Valentia for a
supply of water the people seized on the boat and crow, and
young Murphy being on board his vessel at the time, as
pilot, Paul Jones carried him off, and he was compelled to
serve for two years in a French frigate, during which time
he accumulated a good sum of prize-money. He lived on
potatoes and milk, and, notwithstanding his wealth,
never increased his comforts. He was a remarkably
strong man, and, till within the last two years, hale and
robust, and walked and rode. He voted at the election
of 1834.

WEEKS, THE GREENWICH PENSIONER'—
Miss Anne Weeks, the aunt of Weeks, the insane Green-
wich pensioner, who left him 120,0001., formerly resided
in the city of Gloucester, occasionally removing to Chel-
tenham, and other places in the neighbourhood. She
was herself a person of great eccentricity, as well as of
very penurious habits. The will is, however, disputed,
and a plentiful harvest of litigation seems likely to accrue.

Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover, and their Royal
Highnesses the late Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia,

AMERICAN NEWS

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.
ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.

The Britannia, with the mails from Boston
and Halifax, entered our river last night
a little before eleven o'clock. Owing to
the weather being thick, and occasion-
ally wet, we had no notice of .her .ap-
proach from any of the telegraph stations, and
her firing of guns as she entered , the river
was the first signal of her approach. She is un-
der the command of Captain Hewet, and has
completed a stormy passage in 12 days. She had
27 passengers. The Caledonia, which sailed hence
on 4th November, arrived out at Halifax, on the
15th, making the voyage in 11 days ; the friends
of those who sailed irk her will, therefore, hear
of their safe arrival out before the expiration of
the same month in which she sailed.

There is very little political news by
this arrival. Mr. Clay was reported to
have resigned, in consequence of his health
requiring him to go South for the
winter. General SCOTT has been taken up by
the Whig party very generally, and stands a fair
chance of succeeding to the Presidency. The
right of search for slaves exercised by the
British flag on the African coast; the annexation
of Texas to the ITnitt-Statee -the disPetea

Boundary Question, which had again caused some
angry feelings and quarrels amongst the
settlers on the border, are pointed out as subjects
to engage the attention of Congress on their
meeting.
There is important news from Mexico.

The non-arrival of Sir C. Bagot had caused
some anxiety in Canada, as he had been re-
ported to have sailed from England in the Styx
steamer some weeks previously. The weather
there continued mild.

Business generally was , said to have im-
proved. Cotton had slightly declined in price;
for other produce the demand was xnoderate
and steady. There was a considerable demand
for bills and specie for remittance by the steamer.
The rate of exchange on London was 10 to 101;
on Paris sf. 20c. A large amount of specie had
been remitted by the steamer, and more would
be sent by the Great Western. In fact, the
market was bare of bills at the close of the day,
few of the Southern or Cotton bills being yet in
the market, rendering bills scarce. A further
decline in Stocks is reported.
There has been a report in circulation that Bishop.
Moore had died at Lynchburg, Va. The Richmond En-
quirer of a late date, states that Bishop Moore was much
better, and considered to be out of danger.
* MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.—In two hundred and
ninety-eight towns, the vote stands for Davis, 54,255 ;
Morton, 49,761. The Whigs have a large majority in
both branches of the Legislature.
PROMPT EXECUTION.—FoUr of the six slaves charged,
on their own confession, with the murder of Captain D.
Hart, in Louisiana, have been tried, found guilty, and
hanged.
MILLS BURNT.—The Dayton Ohio Journal of the 15th
inst., says the grist mills of Mr. George Knisely, on Mad
river, three miles from Drayton, were destroyed by fire
on Wednesday morning. There were several hundred
bushels of wheat and some flour consumed. No insurance.
Dr. DIONYSIUS L. RDNER.—This gentleman, whose
high scientific acquirements have given his name so much
celebrity, we understand, has been invited by Professor
Ericson, Professor Mapes, Mr. Rhodes, United States
Naval Architect, Mr. Copeland, United States Civil
Engineer, and Mr. Hart, United States Naval Construc-
tor, to deliver a course of lectures, of which particular
notice will shortly be given. We think lie may be as-
sured of a numerous and . enlightened auditory.—New
York Paper.
