THE QUEEN DOWAGER.

SUDBURY-HALL, DEC. 10.—We have the ut-
most gratification in being enabled to state, that
since her Majesty the Queen Dowager's health
first began to amend, the improvement, although
gradual, has been constant, and that her perfect
recovery, should no unexpected relapse take
place, may be confidently expected. The dis-
tressing cough by which she was so constantly
disquieted has in great measure been abated, and
she is able in consequence to enjoy every night
several hours of regular and unbroken repose.
The salutary effects of this refreshing sleep have
already become apparent. Her Majesty now
sits up from eight to ten hours every day with-
out fatigue, and has attained sufficient strength
to walk about her room unassisted. Sir D.
Davies still remains in attendance, and, with the
exception of Lady Gore and her daughter, con-
stitutes the only 'addition to the ordinary party
at Sudbury-hall.

lb. in American descriptions, particularly in the better
qualities ; in other kinds there is no change of conse-
quence. Speculators have taken 1,200, and exporters
200 bales American. The sales to-day are 300 bales.

of the Prince. Lord Radnor immediately proposed an amend-
ment by which her Majesty should at the same time be made
acquainted with the " appalling, distress " at Bradbury, and
was supported by several speakers. . Great interruption pre-
vailed at the meeting. The amendment was finally put and
lost, about one-third of those present voting for it, and the
original address carried.

A Contemporary states that a short time ago one of the Scot-
tish islands was surprised by a visit "of an extraordinary bird,

some reason to believe that this visitor was no other than an

stand, has for some weeks past been travelling in Scotland.

" Few men connected with the complicated departments of
surgery are deserving of more grateful mention than Sir. Van
Bu chell, whose unwearied dedication to the cure of those most
painful of all diseases, which this book treats of, has resulted in
a continued course of success in cases of the most hopeless and
forbidding nature * * We find nearly every page re-
cording some astonishing cure in patients whose sufferings
had been of many years' duration, . nd most excruciating in
their uature. The warmth of expression with which the gra-
titude of some of the restored is couched must be truly gratify-
ing to the feelings, and highly creditable to the skill and judg-
ment, of Mr. Van Butchell."—Weekly True Sun.

PICTURE OF A YANKEE.

He would kiss the Queen till he raised a blister, i
With his arm round her neck, and his old felt hat on ;
Would address the King with the title of Mister,
And ask the price of the throne that he sat on.
We learn from titc, Kentish papers that I!. P.
Gipps, Esq., has withdrawn as a candidate for the repfe-
sentation of Canterbury, which will become vacant on the
meeting of Parliament by the resignation of one of the
present Members. We learn also from the same source
that the Hon. Mr. Smythe, the son of Lord Strangfcrd,
will be the Conservative candidate. For the sound poli-
tical principles of Mr. Smythe the name of his noble
father is a sufficient guarantee ; and we rejoice to add that
this gentleman possesses every personal claim to the confi-
dence and support of the electors of Canterbury that high
character and eminent attainments can confer.—Morning

NEW GRANADA.

We have received the Venezuela Gazette and other
Caraccas Papers to the 18th of November, which contain
some articles relative to the state of the neighbouring re-
public of New Granada. The extent of the insurrection
is not explained, but it appears that so late as the hat of
November it still was not suppressed.
A letter had been received at Puerto Cabello, said to be
from the Governor of Curacoa, the contents of which are
thus stated :
" New Granada is again in complete disorder. A vas,.
sel has arrived from Rio Ilacha, bringing intelligence that
Santa Martha, Savanilla, Barranquilla, and other towns,
have constituted themselves Federal States, under the title
of Nlanzanares.
" On the 18th of October a Commissioner was sent by
the insurgents to Rio Bache to persuade the Govern
or of
that city to declare against the Government of
Bogota'
which, however, did not then suceeed."
The Liberal of the 17th of November,
the latest date
we have received, says—
We have received a letter from Puerto Cabello, which
states that the Pronunciomento of eth
agena as a federal
state, by which General Marino is invested with the com-
mand, has been printed at Curacoa. Ii appears to us
that this news requires confirmation."
The Venezuela Gazette states, that Colonel Malagarejo
remained at the head of an imposing force in Arauca, and
the Padre Quintero already mentioned, who is curate of
Arauca, had been taken prisoner; his companion, the
one-eyed gentleman, also mentioned before, had fled to
A pure, wishing to take refuge in the territory of Venezuela.

THE NEW COUGH MEDICINE! ! !

HOLLAND'S BALSAM OF SPRUCE,
the newly-discovered remedy for COUGHS, COLDS,
INFLUENZA, INCIPIENT ASTHMA, and CON-
SUMPTION.

Medical Science is daily producing new wonders, and among
the discoveries which take place none are more deserving of
public approbation than a remedy for those complaints which,
in this variable climate, are so productive of fatal consequences
to the comfort and lives of the public as Coughs and Colds.
This Extraordinary Remedy relieves the most distressing
symptoms in a few hours, and a little perseverance in its use
will, in every case, effect a permanent cure.
Coughs and Colds, accompanied by a difficulty of breathing,
soreness and rawness of the chest, impeded expectoration, sore
throat, and feverish symptoms, will be quickly subdued, while
its use will assuredly prevent consumption from this prolific
cause.

Holland's Balsam of Spruce gives immediate ea,e in all
Asthmatic cases, and particularly in Hoarseness, Wheezings,
and Obstructions of the Chest; while those who have laboured
for'eats under the misery of a coufirmed Asthma, have been
enabled by its use to enjoy the blessings of life, and to pursue
their avocations with a degree of ease and comfort they had
been strangers to for years.
Prepared by Charles Holland, and sold by his agent, T.
Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by at least one person in
every town in the kingdom. Price Is. lid. a Bottle.
Sold also by Johnston, 68, Cornhill ;

It is stated that under the term Metropolis are com•
prised the 32 districts herein mentioned, which include the
City of London within and without the walls, the City and
Liberties of Vtirestruinster, the out parishes within the
bills of nsortality—and the parishes of St. Marylebone ;
St. Pancras ; Kensington ; Fulham ; Hammersmith
(Chapelry) ; St. Luke, Chelsea; Paddington; St. Mary,
Stoke Newington ; St. Leonard, Bromley ; St. Mary- le-
Camlerw
aclin; Greenwich ; St. Nicholas and St
Deptford;Paul, d Woolwich. The population as enu.
merated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for
183$ was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that
year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in
1840, it must lac borne in mind that the metropolis in.
creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if tht
population had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the death
would have been 1-27th part more numerous.

DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—On Saturday an in-
quest was held at St. Bartholomew's Hospital upon the
body of a married female named Whcnman. The husbanr
of tke deceased having been taken in execution for twelve
shillings and costs, and confined in Whitecross-street Pri.
son, she and her children were left starving at their mise-
rable lodging in Clerkenwell-close. The poor creature.
was on Christmas night so overcome by her misery that
she cut her threat with her husband's razor. The children
who were in bed with her, being awoke by the gurgling in
their mother's throat, called for assistance, and she was re-
moved to the Hospital, where she died on Friday morning.
The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity."

GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the
Patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury, is universally
recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing dis-
orders incident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE

AND DEAFNESS CURED!

By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound !
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
to induce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated
'lei haceous Compound, known as " Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F.R.S. See J. B. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," anti the
" Student's Vade Mecum."—See the many thousand Letters
of Testimonies, of undoubted medical authority, with others of

To Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eyc- Snuff.

Dec. , 1840.
Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eves being
so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many Medical
Gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr.
Alexander ; indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all their
skill. " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seten, of all
kinds of Lotions, but no relief," till chancing one day, being led
by your house in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide
inquired if I hail tried your Eye-Snuff, on which I purchased
a Is. 3d. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, and was
greatly relieved before I reached my home. I can with truth
assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye-
Snuff cured me. Sisal be happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,
