THE ROMANCE OP OLD ENGLAND.—Just published
float the pen of Mr. W. Harrison Ainsworth, entitled
" The Lancashire Witches," has more than ordinary claims
on public curiosity and attention. It was a daring attempt
even by so celebrated an author as Mr. Ainsworth, to
combine with an historical romance, the wild practices
of sorcery; but so perfect is the interfusion of the na-
tural and the supernatural, and so strictly is it in keep-
ing with the ghastly belief which, in the early part of the
seventeenth century pervaded our nation, and which the
denunciations of James I. tended to foster, that every
grim incident stands out with the distinctness of a fear-
ful fact, and as he turns over the pages, the reader feels
as if under a potent spell. But this lurid mystery is not
the only feature of the work. Scenes of joy and revel,
of " pomp and feast, with masque and antique page..
entry, ' direnify the interest, and glance, like sunbeams,
a•hwert the gloom.—Evening paper.
[ADvmensemENT.]—Astonishing Cure of a very
Bad Leg of Thirty Years' standing by Holloway's Pills
and Ointment.—The wife of Mr. George Bourne, but-
cher, of Stockton-on-Tees, suffered for full thirty years !.
with a dreadful bad leg, apparently originating by the
bursting of a vein internally; the pain was intense. The
most eminent medical men in the neighbourhood tried to
cure it, but in vain; at last she was induced to try Hol-
loway's Pills and Ointment, when, to the astonishment
of herself and all who knew her, the leg, in the course of
eight weeks, was thoroughly healed and cured, and has
remained s, and and free from pain for the last nine
months. Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Hollo-
way's

ST. JOHN'S WOOD AND PORTLAND-TOWN PRoVI'
DENT DISPENSARY —Last night the fourth general air
nual meeting of the governors of this institution was held
at the Committee-rooms, 98, St. John's Wood-terrace.
The chair was taken by the Rev. E. Thompson, D.D.
minister of All Saints. The report of the committee
stated that the dispensary was still in an increasing and
prosperous condition. Since its establishment, in 1845,
the number of ordinary members, who are not looked
upon ai burdens on a formal charity, had increased four..
told, an i the number of cases of sickness is now nearly
seventeen times what it was during the first year of the
dispensary's operations. The receipts dun g the past
year were 2421. 10s. the disbursements 2321. I is. Bde
leaving, with the balance of the previous year, a surplus
Of about 321. in the hands of the treasurer. The report
was unanimously adopted, the treasurer's accounts were
examined and passed, and, after a vote of thanks to the
Rev. Chsirman, the proceedings terminated.
Letters from Havre mention that the markets bstd
generally closed with tranquillity, but as prices were
maintained a good business was expected at the opening
of the new year. Trade at Ghent is for the present sus'
pended owing to the intervention of the Christmas holi-
days. At Rouen the festivities of the season had not
materially interfered with the activity of the market for
manufactures, which was still buoyant with good prices.
The Amsterdam accounts speak of moderate operations
in produce, consumers refraining from extended par'
chases until the commencement of 1849.
WESTMINSTER REFORM AssoclATlON.—The firs
monthly meeting of this society for the current year Wse
held last night at the York Hotel, Upper Wellington'
street, Mr. Geesen in the chair. -It is usual at this meet'
ing to elect the officers for the ensuing year; but in con'
sequence of the state of business, the election ,was de'
ferred, and a special meeting was resolved upon, to 10
held on Monday, the 15th inst., when it is intended
also to consider what steps should be taken by the
society with reference to the resolutions that may be
adopted at the meeting to be held in Manchester on the
4th instant.
