" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,

Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health fnll threescore years and ten."

These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their:several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which Is heroin faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the lik e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which Is in.
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as beta becomes the highest
of God's creations. _ .

IN TEST Nit AL.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
l'Cow that the question of the corn-law is set at rest, as
we trust, for ever, the general and natural inqn. 'rY arises
amongst men of all shades of opinion—what .is to be
done for him to whom we are indebted for the Accom-
plishment of this stupendous change ? In what wit-4v can
the gratitude of the public be nsost appropriately and
most substantially manifested towards Mr. Cobden
That to him, far more than to any c-thee individual, the
repeal of the corn-law is owing, no warz doubts, what-
ever may be his opinions on the genera? 'question. Ou
this point Lord George Bentinck and thew editor of the
Morning Pest are perfectly agreed with the svembers and
the organs of the League ; and we have a ow' the testi-
monto the same effect of men holding interCis diate
po-
sitions between those two parties. Sir Robert': eel, in
addressing the House of Commons on Monday ei ening,
paid the following just and well-turned tribute' to the
talents and the services of the Hon. Member for Neck-
port :
" I said before, and I said truly, that in propo un
those measures I had no wish to rob others of the cm 'flit
justly due to them. Now I must say, with reference .t 0
Hon. Gentlemen opposite, as I say with reference to*
ourselves, neither of us is the party which is justly
entitled to the credit of them. There has been a com-
bination of parties; and that combination, and the in-
fluence of Government, have led to their ultimate
success; but the name which ought to be associated
with the success of those measures is not the name of
the Noble Lord, the organ of that party, nor is it mine.
The name which ought to be, and will be associated
with the success of those measures, is the name of a mart
who, acting, I believe, from pure and disinterested.
motives, has, with untiring energy, by appeals to reason,
enforced their necessity with an eloquence the more to
be admired because it was unaffected And unadorned;
the name which ought to be associated wi'th the success
of those measures is the name of Richard Cobden."
To this estimate of the services which ,'Sir. Cobden
has rendered to the cause of free trade, LordValmerston
expressed his hearty assent ; and the loud ,"peering
which it elicited from all parts of the House, proved the
general concurrence of the Members. Such belt the
unanimous opinion of all parties in reference to the' im-
portant share which our highly-respected fellow tow us-
man has had in bringing about the happy result at which
we have now arrived, the question recurs—ln what way'
are his invaluable services to be acknowledged ? And
here arises a point of some delicacy. If Mr.
Cobden was, as many people have asserted, and
many more believed, an opulent man, of course
soine public testimony of respect, in the form of a statue,
•or a service of plate, or the erection of some public",
institution, might have presented the most appropriate
means cf testifying the gratitude of 115 s fellow-country-
men. But it is absurd to speak of Mr. t obdeir as an
opulent man, in the general and ordinary acceptation
the term. When he first devoted his best exertions' to
the great object which he has now so successfully aCt-
complished, he was still a young man ' - he had been but
a few years engaged in business, and granting him to
have been succeesful, as we believe he was, he could
not have done more than lay the foundation of a mode-
rate fortune. Since that period, his time, his labour,
his thoughts, have been entirely engrossed by the pub-
lic object to which he had devoled himself, to the utter
neglect of his private affairs ; and we feel quite con-
fident that he cannot have done anything to increase
property.
We are quite aware that these are details which may
give some little pain ; but it is necessary that they
should be placed fairly before the public, who might,
otherwise greatly misunderstand the grounds on which
they are about to be appealed to-for contributions to a
testimonial, intended by its promoters to be in some de-
gree worthy of the great services which have been.
rendered. Mr. Cobden has devoted seven or eight
years of the best years of his life to the attainment of a.
great public object ; he has disregarded his private inte-
rests, neglected a business by which he might have ac-
cumulated wealth ; and the question for the considera-
tion of the public is, whether they will permit the
pecuniary loss which he has incurred in their service to'
be borne by himself, or whether they will step forward.
to indemnify him. If we know anything of the spirit
which actuates, not merely our fellow-townsmen, but the
supporters of free trade throughout the country, they
will not subject themselves to the charge of ingratitude
on this occasion, but, on the contrary, they will show, by
their contributions to the testimonial, that they desire to
see Mr. Cobden placed in at least as good a position as
he might have fairly expected to occupy, if he had
employed his time and his talents in the accumulation
of wealth, instead of devoting them with unparalleled
energy and success to the service of his fellow-country
men.

We feel it necessary to state that for the preceding
statements and remarks we alone are respoizsible. Weg
have received no suggestion from, and held no communi—
cations with, any other parties on the subject. What
we have learned, as we stated on a former occasion, is,
that a number of gentlemen of all shades of opinion in
politics have determined to set on foot a subscription for
the purpose above named ; and that a meeting on Me
subject will be held to-morrow at the Towii-hall, when_
the Mayor of Manchester is expected to take the chair;
and we feel no doubt that the proceedings will be such
as to do credit to those who take part in them, and to
show that they are no less inclined to subscribe their
money to acquit themselves of a debt of gratitude, than
to secure a prospective advantage.

THE BOROUGH or• FALMOIIII.—FALMOUTH, JUNE 28.
W. Freshfield, Esq , of London, late solicitor to the Bank
of England, has announced himself as a candidate for the
suffrages of the united borough of Penryn and Falmouth, at
the next ensuing election.
Awe, L THUNDER STORM.—On Monday, the 22d,
one of the mo=t, terrific thunder storms visited the neigh-
bourhood of Sawrey ever remembered. Soon after noon
thunder was heard in the distance, and rolled almost continu-
ally until about five o'clock,when the storm began in earnest.
The wind blew a complete hurricane ; the air, for an hour
and a half; seemed in one electric dame, and the thunder
cracking without intermission. So near the ground was the
electric tire, that all who went out in the roads and amongst
the houses in Sawrev, felt just as if they had received a shock
from a strong electric machine. There were six young men
standing together, who were all brought to the ground at
once, and yet without sustaining the least harm. We are
sorry to state that a cow belonging to John Sharp was killed.
It would almost appear that the cow had been lifted from the
ground and then thrown down upon its back, for the horns
were stuck into the ground up to the head. There was not
a mark upon the animal, hut its body was swelled as hard ss
a drum. The great fury of this dreadful tempest (strange
to say) did not exceed a mile square, and while the lower
part of Esthwaite lake was foaming under the hurricane, the
higher- part was calm as a mirror ; and at Hawksheat.l!
Bowness, Ambleside, and all the surrounding village', it
was only like an ordinary tlitindeF-Jtorm.—lrro!"^r""
