EXTRAORDINARY ACCOUCHEMENY. A corre-
spondent states that last Friday night between eleven
and twelve o'clock, as a mu and his wife, venders of salt,
were on their way home, through Banbury Forest-lane,
the poor woman was taken in labour. There was no
shelter near, the night was very inclement, rain falling
in torrents, and in these circumstances there was no
other course left to the man than to lay his suffering wife
by the road side, and to proceed two miles to Feeken-
ham for surgical aid, Accordingly he hastened:there,
and returned, accompanied by Mr. Harrison, surgeon,
of that place, by whose assistance the poor woman was
safely delivered about one o'clock. To add to the inde-
scribable misery of the occurrence, the wretched mother
had not a rag of clothing for her babe—thus born in the
damp grass, with a tempestuous wintry sky for its only
covering. It was between nine and ten o'clock next
morning before any nourishment was procured for the
poor woman ; and, strange to say, no effort to remove
her seems to have been made. A farmer in the neigh-
bourhood sent some straw for her to lie upon, and there
she remained till a brook rising, four days afterwards,
threatened to wash this miserable bed from under her !
Our informant states that this was the poor creature's
first child, and that she had once seen better days. After
paying for the medical assistance, the unfortunate couple
were left with sixpence, their sole pecuniary resource.

[ADVERTISEMENT.j—It is not possible adequately
to speak of the wonderful efficacy of the celebated Ve-
getable Restorative Pills, prepared by John Kaye, Esq.,
of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield. The testimonies which
pour in from all parts of the United Kingdom, prove
that astonishing cures result from their use. Mr. Adams,
of Cheddeston, near Bungay, writes that he suffered for
seven years from indigestion, which brought on extreme
debility, but that the use of the Pills has wrought a com-
plete cure. Mr. Peter Tivier, of 6, Stephen-street Li-
verpool, says, " I have been cured by one box of Kaye's
Worsdell's Pills of rheumatism and eruptions of the
skin." Robert Woaster, of High Wycombe, bears testi-
mony that for ten years he was afflicted with scrofula in
his leg and knee, and that for five-and-twenty weeks he
kept his bed; by perseverance, however, in the use of
this wonderful medicine, he is now quite well, and works
for fourteen hours a day. Sold in boxes at 19. lid.;
2s. 9d.; or 4s. 6d. each, by all Medicine Venders. To
prevent imposition by spurious imitators, observe that
Mr. Kayo's coat of arms and a fac-simile of his signature
are printed on the directions wrapped round each box.
TEMPERANCE SOCIETY. A meeting, under the
patronage of the National Temperance Society, was
held last evening at Exeter-hall. Mr. Cassell having
been called to the chair, addressed himself to the sta-
tistical part of the question, showing that much might
be saved in the way of police-rates and poor-rates, by
the adoption of the temperance principles—principles
which, he contended, would do more to elevate the
people morally, socially, and even politically—iudging
from the impetus given to drunkenness at contested
elections—than any amount of political agitation. Mr.
Inwards proved to the evident satisfaction of the meet-
ing, which he addressed in a humourous strain, that
teetotalism was faultless in principle and operation, and
that its disciples were fatter, bet er, and healthier men
than were or could be the votaries of Bacchus. Messrs
Hudson, Whittaker, and Smith also dilated on the ad-
vantages of temperance, and the many evils that flowed to
individuals and society generally from the use of intoxi-
cating beverages, and thanks having been voted to the
chair the meeting separated.

We hear that a letter has been received from Mr.
W. P. Grant, stating that he has laid his ease before Sir
F. fipinipit is that. the Chief Jui,tice',
deci4ion cannot be upheld, and that Mr. Grant must be
restored to his appointment.—Calcutta Englishman,
