EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF DROPSY DT HOLLOWAY'S
PILI s.—Emma Williams, a "servant living with Mrs. Smithers,
Oldham-road, Manchester, had lately become of such a size
from dropsy as to appear, to use her own expression, as big
as a butt. Every usual treatment was tried, but without
effect. In this sad state she had recourse to Holloway's
Pills, and by them the water was entirely removed from her
system, and an effectual cure perfected in about six weeks.
These pills were lately tried upon two dropsical patients,
discharged as incurable from one of the largest hospitals in
London, and they also were both shortly cured by this famous
medicine. Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holl9-
way's, 244, Strand, London.

stormy discussion, the meeting separated without coming to
any decision.

THE NENVCASTLE BANK.—NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE,
- E
MONDAY.—The failure of the Newcastle bank is not a circumstance
calculated to excite any uneasiness in the public mind, when the
real facts connected with the case are known, and hence the
event has produced no excitement here, nor had the slightest
influence on the operations of other banking establishments
in the town. The liabilities of the Company are not near
so large as has been stated in the London papers, nor have
their difficulties arisen from the withdrawal of railway deposits, of
which indeed they hold a very small amount. The bank has been
long in a state of embarrassment, though the management contrived
to sustain its credit, till the existing pressure on the money market
narrowed and ultimately closed their sources of accommodation.
The bank holds a large amount of valuable securities, not however
immediately available, and many of the proprietors are men of re-
puted wealth, so that there is no danger of the public Sustaining any.

MEMOIRS AND CORRESPONDENCE Or THE MARQUESS
WELLESLEY. BY ROBERT ROUIERE PEARCE, ESQ.—A most interesting
and valuable biography of the Marquess Wellesley, written by Mr.
Pearce, has just appeared. It is appropriately !'dedicated to Lord
Brougham, the Noble Marquess's most cherished and confidentiai
friend to the close of his life. It was a friendship most precious in
itself, and, shone not the less brightly amid the black treachery of
which both these statesmen were sought ineffectually.-to be made
the victims. The work is voluminous, but the interesting events of
the moment compel us to postpone its lenthened examination. Lord
Wellesley lived to see the glory and the wisdom of his Indian policy
