[ADVERTISEMENT.]—For Family Use nothing can
be more adapted than the celebrated Vegetable Restora-
tive Pills, prepared by John Kaye, Esq of Dalton hall.
near Huddersfield. The most respectable and influential
families throughout the kingdom hare made it their only
medicine for indigestion, bile, irregularities of the bowels
and stomach, nervous headaches, affections of the liver,
in all of vvaich most miraculous cures have been effected.
In all diseases to which females are peculiarly subject,
these Pills will be found invaluable. Not a day passes
in which either Mr. Kaye or his agents do no receive
testimonies from heads of households, ss to relief having
been given to some member of the family by the use of
this medicine. To prevent families from being imposed
upon by spurious imitations, Mr. Kaye has consented to
his coat of arms and a fac simile of his signature being
appended to the directions wrapped round each box.
Sold in boxes at ls. lid.; 2s. 9d.; and 4e. 6d., by all
Medicine Ven•lers.

meeting of the session was held on the evening of Fri
day, October 6th, several gentlemen of eminence
in the profession being present. The walls and
tables were covered with architectural drawings
and sketches. Some beautiful models by Mr

previous meeting had been read and confirmed, stated
that he had been requested by the late President, Mr.

to preside over the early part of the proceedings, in order
to introduce to the association their new President, C.
Creeke. Letters of apology for non-attendance, but ex-
pressing theircordial sympathy with the association, were
read from Mr. Ferrey, Mr. G.Godwin, and Mr. G. Bailey.

directing the issue of the 17th, 18th, and 19th series of

roubles, interest to commence from the 12th of the month.
The Emperor has also, by another decree, directed a
general exhibition of the manufactured produce of his
empire, to be made in May next year. The dull ac-
counts from England had fully established a downward
tendency in the Tallow market, and the Russians had
beencompelled to accede to Rs. 135 and 134 for first quality
Y.C. tallow. There had been sold at the beginning of
the week 45 casks Ukraine at Rs. 138 k, 25 ditto at 137,
and 175 casks common at 136, and towards the end of
the week 800 to 900 casks common at Rs. 135, 600 casks
at 134, and 200 casks at 133 k. No offers made above
Rs. 133 for first Y.C. tallow, but as yet there are no
sellers under Rs. 134. The business in hemp continued
brisk, and higher prices paid for fine qualities ; for clean
Rs. 85 to 87k ; outshot 76 to 78 ; half clean, 72 to 75
paid, and not many sellers at these rates. Flax neglected.
Grain evidently duller. Of wheat, 2,800 chets. Sursky
and Casan taken at Rs. 26, and New Russian to be had
at Re. 27 to 28. In rye and oats, nothing doing for
shipment.
TRAFFIC ACROSS THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.--THR
TAY STEAMER.—The royal mail steamer Tay left South-
ampton yesterday, with the West India mails. Among
the passengers were Major-General Sir 11. Bunbury,
who has been appointed Commander of the Forces at
Jamaica, and Mr. Hardouin, who has been appointed
Governor of Guadeloupe; also Lord and Lady Gros-
venor and family, Earl and Countess of Sheffield, and
Lord H. Scott, who are proceeding to Madeira. Sir H.
Wilmot is also a passenger. The Tay carries out a very
large cargo, some portion of which is intended for the
western coast of America, and will be landed at Chagres,
and sent across the isthmus of Panama. This will be
the first batch of goods that will cross the isthmus. The
length of time in getting from the Atlantic to the Pacific
is about two days. The Panama roads are now very
much improved. A number of trucks and wheels for
carriages for travelling on them have gone out in the
Tay. The goods for the western coast of. America sent
out in the 'Vest India steamer were principally Man-
chester and French. A very considerable trade be-
tween this country and Chili and Peru is confidently
anticipated through the opening of the Panama route
for goods traffic.
AMERICAN APPLES.—The ship Europa, from New
York and Halifax, has brought the large number of 738
barrels of apples, of the kinds known as the American
New Town pippins, and the lady apples, which are of
remarkably fine flavour, are much esteemed, and are an
important addition to the supplies from the continental
states of Europe, and from home sources. The same
vessel brought the large quantity of 4,182 packages of
cheese, the production and manufacture of the United
States of America,
