HEADACHE,:BILB, APOPLBIT, AND COMPLAITILI
ARISING FROII IMPURTTf OF BLOOD CURED BY HOllO
LOWAY'S PILLS.—TiIe regenerating properties of this
wonder-working medicine are so powerful that all who
suffer from disordered stomachs, indigestion, bile, sick
headache, or dimness of sight, originating from the im-
purity of the blood, should have iosmediate recourse to
Holloway's Pills, which act so directly on the system
that a few doses will remove every unpleasant symptom,
thus preventing the danger of apoplexy and the over-
flew of blood to the head. They may be taken by
females of all age:. with perfect safety, and their invigo-
rating qualities soon restore the most nervous and do.
bilitated constitutions to the enjoyment of good health.
Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's
Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
MONEY-MARKer.--The premium on gold at Paris
is toi per milk, which, at the English Mint price of
V. 17s. Wit& per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.41 ; and the exchange at Paris OA London
at short being 25.471, it follows that gold is 0.26 per
cent. dm( riu London than in Paris. By advises from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce fot
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11 ; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being
13.121, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in
London than in Hamburgh.
Mr. Dillon Browne, M.P., has been appointed

some time since stated. Sir Emerson Tennent con-
" tinues to hold the latter offices—Dublin Weekly Regi4ter.

NIOZiEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed
steadily. Sales 3,000 to 3,500 bales American, at 41d.
to 6d. per lb. Railway Shares were rather better.
The accounts from Paris are of so exciting a charac-
ter that the greater part of our City politicians are en-
gaged in the consideration of their tenor. Business
suffers by this uneasy feeling, though we are glad to
notice a fair bare of activity in some leading articles of
consumption.
_ _

Tho foreign exchanges were firmer yesterday after-
noon for bills oil the principal continental cities.
The accumulation of money in the discount market is
likely to act upon the value of merchandise, but unless
trade improves very decidedly, and confidence is restored,
bills are not likely to be taken very freely.
The Corn Market is steady to-day.
The Funds have been fluctuating, but perhaps not to
the extent that might have been expected. Consols have
ranged from 881 to 99, and for April from 89 to 891.
Exchvquer-bills have been 295. to 325. premium. The
New Three and•a•Quarter per Cents. have realised 89e
to 90. Bank Stock is worth 199 to 200.

The Foreign Bonds are heavy. Spanish Five per
Cents. realise 20i, and the Three per Cents. 32 to 32k;
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been marked 26 ;
Mexican Bands are 19 to i; Dutch Tiro-and•a-Half per
Cents. are 54i.
Railway Shares hare been dull. The quotations,
however, are generally firm.
