" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health frill 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 everyliving 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 own 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 herein 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 like 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 ex,fited to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.

country :—The Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, the King of

.""‘I., am, the King of Saxony, the King of Holland, Prince William
. Prussia, and further honoured by the continued patronage of all
'Who seek an unaffected gentlemanly appearance. The cloth is
made of Llama Wool, a fabric •nost agreeably soft and elastic to the
touch, and is one-third the weight of ordinary woollen clothes, but it
corresponds in shades of colour. It is Very durable, and naturally a
repellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of eXces-
3ive bodily heat. These advantages, with the very moderate price
charged, renders the Registered Paletoi worthy the attention of all.
wThey can be purchased in London, of the Patentees only, at their
_arerooms, 114. Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill,

THE Public is respectfully cautioned that H. J.
and D. NICOLL, Court Tailors, have never granted the Li-
ve°nee to any other house in London of making and selling the
",
,CLOTH REGISTERED PALETOT. The celebrity so
t_Utly earned by this light water-proof and gentlemanly overcoat has
.dtiCed many otherwise respectable tradesmen to assume a simi-
'4ritY of name, but in that only can it resemble the: true Paletot.
It has been deemed advisable to state that the registered Paletot of
Llama Cloth can only be purchased of the Patentees, in London,
J., and D. NICOLL, 114, Regent-street, or their New
warereoms, 22, Cornhill, opposite the south entrance of the Royal

few months, money is unusually scarce, and trade pro-
portionately depressed in all its branches. Indeed, beyond
the mere necessities in food and clothing, little or nothing
has been doing for some time; and even in these respects
the legitimate merchant has had his' operations very much
encroached upon by, the number of petty importers which
have lately sprung up; while many of those who were' for-
merly only retailers, are now dabbling in the wholesale line;
and thus articles of merchandise, which formerly only re-.
quired to go through first and second hands before they
reached, the consumer, are now bandied from party to party,
each transaction creating so much negotiable paper; so ahtt
in filet every hundred pounds' worth of property actually
brought into the country, becomes the basis of a creation
of paper money to at least four or five times that amount.
In the hope of curing this evil in part, as well as no doubt
protecting themselves, the banks have latterly restricted
their discounts very considerably; although it is urged
against them, and we fear not without cause, that they have
been somewhat injudicious in their proceedings on this score,
and have made the system almost a general one, to the
serious inconvenience of the public at large, instead of merely
applying the screw where the circumstances pointed out that
it was absolutely called for. There .is no doubt, however,
that in the' end, a considerable portion of the community
will be benefited by the measure; while all that is required,
to restore confidence and credit generally would be the
prospect of a better crop next year—the preparatory culti-
vation for which would soon set a, sufficiency, of money
afloat. This, however, as we have elsewhere observed, alone
ciepentls.opou the weather. Let Providence be only bountiful
in this respect, and we have, comparatively speaking, little
else to fear.

The departure of his Excellency the Earl of Elgin from
our shores—although only for a time—suggests sonic consi-
deration of the character his Lordship's government for
the four years during which he has now resided in this
island Curainq after so universal a favourite, and so expe-
rienced a tactician .as Sir C,har...,s Metcalfg,iP.SertailAY
required no common qualities of mind or powers of —go-
verning to have maintamed even a respectable footing in
public opinion ; but we are sure we only do Lord Elgin
justice, and only echo. public opinion, when we say, that
his Lordship, in the discharge of his many and onerous
duties as her Majesty's representative in this island, has
established a reputation for himself essentially peculiar to
himself—the full merits of which are not to be developed
in a day, any more than the public advantages upon which
it is founded, will cease with his Lordship's surrender of the
seals of office.

During his Excellency's absence he will no doubt have
an opportunity of seeing and conversing with many in the
mother country deeply interested in the prosperity, as well as
occupied in the external government of the affairs of this and
our sister colonies, and we are sure that when he returns to
us—as return, he will, we hope—it will not be the least
among the mink obligations which he has conferred upon us,
that, although absent,:he still watched over our interests.
May the passage be propitious to his • Lordship and his illus-
trious family • and may health and happiness attend them—
the noble creole not the least in importance, in our estima-

THE JAMAICA RAILWAY.
(From the Jamaica Dispatch, May 23. )
This railway has been now in operation for six months,
and it will be a source of happiness to the directors and
others interested in it in England to know that not a single
accident of any kind has occurred on it. Of its prosperity
also we can speak in the most favourable terms, the passenger
traffic being quite equal to previous returns, whilst the mer-
chandise traffic has been more than trebled within the last
quarter. ' •

JAMAICA COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From De Cordova Mercantile Intedigencer.)
Flour.-The only sales have been 200 barrels Fresh
Baltimore at 335.; 1,100 ditto New Orleans at 31s. 6d. The
article has sicce been offered, and refused at prices under
previous rates, 600 barrels Philadelphia, arrived in January,
having been declined at 31s. per barrel.
Cornmeal.-Subsequently to our last issue 750 barrels
were brought to this market, which were immediately sold
at the reported price of 265. The article is now being re-
tailed at 28s. per barrel.
Rice-Previously to the arrival of the 1,000 bags already
reported, 2,000 bags of discoloured Madras, received direct
from that port, were disposed of at 15s. 3d. There have since
been sold 150 bags first quality at 225. 6d. per 100 lb. A
cargo of Carolina went into port this week, but as yet no
desire has been manifested to purchase. The market for rice
has been very much affected by a report that 7,000 bags are
now on the water for this island, on board two Coolie vessels.
Bread-500 barrels pilot bread, 100 ditto crackers, and
25 ditto navy of the same shipment, changed holders at the
stated rates, of 2s for pilot and crackers, and 18s. for navy.
Butter-There have not been any sales of moment in Irish
descriptions, the prices of which (10id.) is with difficulty
kept up. The operations in American have been also small.
We report only 100 firkins at 6id., and 100 at 7d. per lb.
The article is very dull.
Lard-This article is also very inactive. Irish may be
quoted at 7d., and American at sd. to 6d. per lb.
Candles-Prices have somewhat declined, owing to the
ample supply. 225 boxes Philadelphia 6's, B's, and 10's, have
been sold at 6d., 200 ditto 12's and 14's at 7d. per lb.
English and Irish sorts are almost entirely neglected.
Cod Fish-Two cargoes immediately after the departure
of the packet came in from Halifax, the boxes of which went
off readily at 205., but only portions of the casks, and in very
small lot., were taken at 16s. per 1001 b. Another cargo sub-
sequently arrived, but it remains as yet unsold. A large
shipment from Newfoundland has been thrown into the
market, and partly sold in lots at 135., in hogsheads and
tierces.
Mackerel-Are getting scarce, but the consumption is not
great. No. 3is worth 30s. per barrel.
Herrings--Last sales of Halifax No. 1 were made at 19s.
per barrel; 130 ditto Newfoundland, not prime, have been
sold at 13s. per barrel.
Alewives--Prime No. 1 are worth 12s. to 13s. A parcel of
an inferior quality brought prices ranging from 7s. to 1 Is.
per barrel.
Salmon-Is in demand, particularly No. I, which is worth
68s. per barrel. The sales of Newfoundland salmon have
been 12 tierces No. 1 at 625., and 11 barrels Nos. 1,2, and 3
at 60s per barrel
Soap-We report a sale of 1,300 boxes Olden's and Thorn-
ton's at I Is. 3d. for 501b5., and 12s. for 601bs. There have
been several arrivals of this article within the last four weeks.
Pork-Is gradually declining, and prices are now below
the figure ( 68s. 4d.) which was obtained some ten or twelve
days back for a parcel of 500 barrels new prime. The stock
has been considerably increased by the continued arrivals,
and we may look for a still further reduction in rates; 200
barrels prime were declined at 665. 4d. per barrel.
Hams-Are not in demand; 300 American have been taken
on speculation at 7d. The best Lancashire move off slowly
at 10d. to 101/2d. per lb.
Pigs' Tongues-There are none at market.
Cheese-100 hampers prime D. G. fetched 10d. per lb.
Corn- 500 bags New Orleans have been taken at 4s.
per bushel, and 100 bags
Philadelphia at Bs. 6d. per bag.
Owing to the late large arrivals, the stock is now very ample.
Oil-The continued arrivals cause this article to remain
inactive. Cod is dull at 2s. 6d. per gallon. The supply is
very large.
Salt-200 sacks fetched 98. per sack. The article can be
purchased at a lower rate.
Lumber-The market continues well supplied. We have
heard of no transactions.

projected it made available to the public. The bazaar was yesterday
honoured with the presence of her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Gloucester and a great number of the nobility, and it is anticipated
that a still more crowded and brilliant attendance will take place
to-day.
