pARR'S LIFE PILLS,
ARE ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE

THE HES r MEDICINE IN THE WORLD,

Old Parr, by a simple herbal medicine prepared by himself—and
the prescription or mode of preparing which has been fortunately
discovered within these few years—preserved his health and mental
faculties during the reign of ten Kngs and Queens of Eogland. The
attention of all classes has been attracted to the undeniable virtu*. of
Parr's Life Pills, and a vast majority of the people have evinced
their unqualified approval of the high character awarded this medi-
cine, and are daily becoming more and more convinced, not only of
the efficacy, but, to use a more familiar term, the innocency of this
renovator of the human race.

Purchasers are also requested to observe that the Lie-simile of the

orings 135 passengers, and the following on freight, viz.,

We have our customary advices from Jamaica, extend-
ing to the.2Bth of April. The mail which left South-
ampton in the Dee on the 2d of April reached Kingston
in the Trent on the 26th. The voyage to St. Thomas
vas prolonged by strong head winds. The Assembly
vas still sitting, and were not likely to leave their
abours for some time. Much delay had taken place in
heir business. Several of the country members were
absent, their attendance on their estates being necessary.
No measures of importance had emanated from them
,xcept the Bill authorising the negotiation of a loan to
(meet the island debt. Messrs. William Smith and Ed-
vard Lucas, it is said, are appointed the Commissioners
xi attend to the matter in England.
The astounding revelations made by Mr. Walter
Knaggs in reference to the Receiver-General's office and
the general mismanagement of the Treasur3 department,
sere engrossing public attention.
_ _

Mr. Daniel litirt, se❑ior Member of Assembly for the
Jarish of St. Mary, has bee❑ appoi❑ted Custos of that
district.

His Excellency the Governor had called to the Coun-
cil Member of Assembly, Mr. Edward Jordan, se-
.ior Member for Kingstown, and Mr. Henry Westmore
,and, the junior Member fur Metcalf. The last named
:;entleman, it is said, has declined the honour. Mr.
Jordan would no doubt accept, thus creating a vacancy
n the representation of Kingston.
An election fur a Member of Assembly, for the pa-
rish of St. Andrew, in the room of Mr. Macpherson, who
was convicted of forgery, and consequently expelled from
the House, took place on the day of the packet's depar-
'ure. The poll would not be closed until four o'clock,
but up to twelve, when the latest return reached King-
,ton, it was reported that Mr. S. W. Mais, Conservative,
was 27 a head of Mr. John Numes, Kingston-house.
Mr. Numes has been rej!cted in five different pa-
eishes; but it is expected, notwithstanding the stated
majority in favour of Mr. Mais at the House, that Mr.
Numes would be elected.

The weather in almost every part of the island had be-
.ome very warm—rain much wanted. The cholera still

angered in the north side.
Our advices from the Havannah state the fact of a
an.n having been arrested charged with having tried to
secure the service of a pilot for an American alleged or
drojected expedition. There was not much excitement
in Ilavannah in relation to the rumours about an ex-
pected invasion; butt more apprehension was felt on the
,oath side of the island, and business was injured to some
extent.

The mercantile advice have to some extent been anti-

;ipatcd. Exchange was a little relieved by the arrivals of
,pecie, and was quoted on L,indon 7to 7 per cent. pre-
; Paris 4to 5 discount. New York and Bostoa 5

liscounr. There was very little tobacco lett of the old
!rop, and the new was not yet brought to market in
any quantity.
From Trinidad re learn that the weather was fearful
And the crop was going on fairly. A ship had arrived
with 176 Coolie labourers. In the St. Vincent the
weather was dry, and the sugar works throughout the
,stand were very active. The excess of the present over
last year's crop will be considerable.
Our advices from Demerara have miscarried by the

present mail. Advices from Hayti state that the re-
bellion of Prince Botos had been easily suppressed by
the energetic measures of Government. He appeared
to have entirely failed to excite the country people to
take up arms in his cause. He had fled to the
woods. The great and exorbitant topic was the col-
le•ctive notes presented to the Emperor by the Plenipo-
tentiaries of France, England, and the United States,
demanding an acknowledgment of the Dominican
Republic or a cessation of hostilities for ten years.
File Emperor having refused these conditions, the Ame-
rican and French representatives prepared to embark,
and were expected at Jacmel on their way to St. Do-
mingo and New York. The Haytiens, loth to believe
that England or France would consent to jeopardise
their commerce for the sake of the United States, which
would alone reap a rich harvest from their long cherished
design of obtaining a footing on the island—the Bay of
Samana, with its surrounding lands for a colony, was
promised to the United States by the Dominicans, in
case its representative succeeded in obtaining an ac-
knowledgment of their independence. In all other re-
spects the country was tranquil, and more produce had
been exported to England and the continent in 1850 and
the first quarter of 1851 than during the three previous
years. Importations had also increased is proportion.
