LADVERTISEM EN T.] —The Celebrated Family Me-
dicine, Worsdell's Vegetable Pills, prepared by John
Kay e, Esq., of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield when taken
into the human system, effectually remove unhealthy
obstructions, and cause the vital fluids to proceed in their
natural order. They free the stomach from crudities
and vitiated secretions, and consequently aid digestion
and relieve the head from oppression and pain. Mrs. J.
Illiffe, of New-buildings, Hinckley, was afflicted with
dizziness and violent.pains and noises in her head, aris-
ing from derangrnent of the alimentary organs, so that
she could get no rest by night nor day. By taking
Kaye's Worstiell's Pills, the disorder was removed in a
short time. Mr. Thomas Herbert, of Scarborough, was
for five years heavily afflicted with indigestion, dizziness,
and swelling in the body, so that he could scarcely sod
the least portion of food without great pain. By taking
these Pills he was restored to perfect health. The ge-
nuine Pills have Mr. Kaye's coat of arms and a fac-simile
of his signature, printed on the directions for use
wrapped round each box. Price Is. lid.; 2s. 9d.; er
4s. 6d. per box. To be had of all Medicine Venders.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—DropsicaI Affections Cured
by Holloway's Pills.--'The causes of this direful disease
are various; it is often engendered by the morbid state
of the system, whereby the free circulation of the blood
is impeded, or it may originate from some preceding
complaint. The first thing to be done in order to effect
' a cure, is to remove any obstructions by purifying the
blood, and causing the discharge of the superabundant
fluids from the body; for this purpose take Holloway's
Pills as they possess such cleansing properties that the
dropsical patient is gradually restored to health, and the
whole frame is permanently renovated. These Pills may
be safely taken by male or female at all periods of life.
Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Es'
tablishment, 244, Strand, London.
FIRE AT PRESTON, IN LANCASHIRE.—On Monday'
evening a fire broke out in the model room of the ex- •
tensive premises belonging to Mr. Clayton, engineer and
boiler maker, and which are generally known by the
name of the Soho Foundry. They are situate at the
north end of the town, close upon the canal bank. The
fire was discovered by Mr. Clayton, who, with his book-
keeper, proceeded to the fourth story of the building,
where it appeared to rage, but as they did not succeed
in putting it out they gave an alarm. Within a short
time a number of engines arrived on the spot, and in
consequence of the ample supply the fire was extin-
guished after the destruction of the fourth and fifth
stories of this extensive fabric. The damage done
is
estimated at the least at 10,0001., as a vast number of
patterns which have been accumulated for the last fifteen
years have been destroyed. A man or the name of Botil•
bury met with a severe accident in attempting, with the
assistance of some other labouring men, to remove *
large cog wheel. it unfortunately fell upon his legs and
broke both of them. Very slight hopes are entertained
of his recovery.
CAUTION TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.--A gentle-
man, who had left this town on the preceding day, had
his pocket picked on Wednesday last, at the railway
station, Birmingham, of six 501. Bank of England notes,
dated Newcastle, 19th August, 1845, and bearing the
numbers' from 3,456 to 3,461, inclusive, together with
60/. in 51. notes, in a pocket. book. The payment of the
notes has been stopped. The police have been informed
of the circumstances, and are now on the alert to dis-
cover the thief.—Newcastle Journal.

rather lower and extremely difficult to sell. Englie
malting barley was scarce, and saleable at our quotations;
lairE the demand for other kinds was quiet in retail, sad
prices a little easier. Beans and peas were scarcely
asked for, and the value nominal. Indian corn and os!
meal were likewise in very slow request, although of
Bred at is to is 6d per 4801 b, and is per barrel decline.
There was less activity in the demand for bonded wheat
and flour, and few sales reported. 7s per 701 b was s
of-
fered and refused for American white wheat, and 25s 6n
per barrel was accepted for Western Canal flour. LEEDS, DEC. 19.—We are largely supplied with grain
bete to day. There is av, ry limited demand for all ar-
ticles, and upon the little business passing a decline of Is
to 2s per qr was submitted to. There was a very this'
attendance of merchants at our cloth halls this morning,
and the business done was correspondingly small. The
goods which changed hands were a few wool-dyed blacks
and woaded blues, with a few cloakings for assortments
prices remained firm.
ECKDIONDWIKE, DEC. 18.—There was an improved
attendance of merchants at the Blanket-hall this after-
noon; and a little more business was done for exports-
don; but as regar.is the hums trade, the buyers pur-
chased sparingly, and chiefly to keep up assortments of
stock.
