S. CHEDDON'S HERBAL TONIC
C e PILLS are prescribed by the Faculty as a mist efficacious
remedy for the Cure of Scrofula, Scurvy, Leprosy, Scorbutic af-
fections, Eruptions and Pimples on the Face, Swellings or Ulcera-
tions on the Neck, Sore Breasts, and all Disorders attended with
Painful Swellings, or with Morbid and Irritating Eruptions of the
Skin, Open Wounds and Sores, as well as the severest cases of
Gout and Rheumatism. The following testimonials of their effi-
cacy, from eminent Physicians, are the most unqualified proofs of
Ow efficiency :
From Dr. Palmer, of Walworth.

‘f Walworth, Surrey, Feb. 27, 1834.
" Sir—Among the numerous medicines now before the public, I
know of none so efficacious as your Pills in restoring individuals to
health who are suffering under scrofulous and cutaneous affections,
or glandular swellings generally, particularly of the breasts and
nick, as also Gout or Rheumatism, or where the system is predis-
posed to diiease. This is the result of my experience with them,
having been supplied largely, I have been enabled to give them ex-
tensively and with the greatest success.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.
" To Mr. Chedden. " JOHN PALMER, M.D."

From Surgeon Browne, of Leeds.
" Leeds, Sept. 4, 1833.
" Sir—From the numerous instances of the efficacy of your Pills
related to me, I have been induced to try them in several severe
cases of Scrofula and Scorbutic Affections, and in obstinate Cuta-

neous Diseases, in Consumption, Diseases of the Kidneys and Blad-
der, and in Gout and Rheumatism, and am able to bear testimony
of their great utility ; indeed, it was a Medicine much wanted, and,
in my opinion, stands unrivalled.—Your obedient servant,
" ROBERT BROWNE, M. R. C. S.

" To C. S. Cheddon, Esq."
From Dr. Bell, of Manchester.

" Manchester, July, 30, 1833.
" Dear Sir,—As Scrofula and Scorbutic affection appear to be
daily increasing (for in my opinion there is scarcely a family whose
constitution is not tainted with it,) I think our profession and the
public are deeply indebted to you for so valuable a discovery. From
the cases in which I have given your pills, I am enabled to say they
have cured many individuals whose death previously might have
been hourly expected, and I feel no hesitation in saying, that if
your pills were occasionally taken, they would prevent any malig-
nant disease from taking place, and I think they are particularly
applicable to delicate individuals.

NOTICE TO NON-SUBSCRIBERS.
The six Numbers from January to June inc:usive constitute the
Ninth Volume of this Periodical, price 15s. ; and those for July,
August, and September, continue the Work to the present time.
At no period since this Magazine was first established has so
favourable an opportunity offered for Non-Subscribers giving it
their encouragement, as with Christmas 1833 closed most of the
s,ries of articles, and with the current year began others, such as
the highly interesting and valuable papers of Father Prout. With
the Ninth Volume, Frazer's Magazine, therefore, may be said
almost to have had a kind of new commencement, though without
any breach of connexion with the earlier issues, either in spirit or
form.

Soliciting attention to this NOTICE, the Publisher respectfully
requests names may be sent to 215, Regent-street ; or, as the
Work is sold by all respectable Booksellers and Stationers at the
same price as that charged by him, viz., half-a-crown monthly,
Subscribers may procure it of their own Booksellers.

CU BEBS,withSARSAPARILLA,&c.—STIR-
LING'S REE'S ESSENCE.—The most safe and certain
remedy ever discovered for gleets, strictures, inflammation, weak-
ness, heat, irritation, and all diseases of the sexual and urinary pas-
sages, frequently performing a perfect cure in the short space of
three or four days. It contains, in a concentrated state, all the ef-
ficacious parts of the cubeb, chymically combined with sarsaparilla,
and other choice alteratives, which render it invaluable for the cure
of secondary symptoms. cutaneous eruptions, and all diseases ori-
ginating from a tainted or impure state of the blood. In case of
debility, tabes, wasting, and premature decay, it has been taken
with the most decided benefit, and has invariably been found to im-
prove the digestive powers, give muscular strqgth, energy, and
vigorous health to the whole frame. The most delicate female may
take it with perfect safety.

Birmingham Advertiser.

It is truly lamentable to see thousands of fine-
talented and well-educated young men, with very moderate in-
comes, at a loss for employment, because of all the learned
professions being overstocked. How important it would be if
this compulsory assessment of the establishment of Poor Laws
in Ireland) induced their parents to turn the attention of their
sons to the useful science of agriculture, commerce, and manu-
factures. That would be imitating the example of the Eng-
lish and Scotch ; and I believe there are Irish means for in-
dustry sufficient to afford full employment to all those young
men who are now brought up in idleness, or attach themselves'
to professions in which, while some are overpaid, many cannot
subsist.—Cobbett's Register.

STEAMERS.—The great increase of trade to the
ports on the Clyde, by the building and repairing of large
steamers for the English and Irish Steam Companies, has
awakened a spirit of enterprise among some of the ingenious
mechanics and descendants of Tubal Cain, which bids fair to
prevent an increase, if not promote a decrease of the trade of
the Clyde. Our readers are aware that steamers of all ton-
nage, but more especially of the largest class, have come to
the Clyde from all parts of the kingdom to be repaired, and
that this trade has circulated a vast deal of money among us,
and has conduced to the increase of ship-building yards, pa-
tent slips, and foundries in Greenock and Port-Glasgow, as
well as in and around our own city. Some of these vessels
have• left behind them, when they went from the Clyde,
4,0001., 5,000/., and in some cases 8,0001., for repairs ; and
we are sorry to hear that the want of large dry docks or slips
for these vessels, in any of the ports on the Clyde, has turned
the attention of enterprising individuals to the propriety of ac-
commodating, these vessels in the harbours to which they are
in the habit of regularly plying. Iu Belfast, we understand
that a beautiful new slip dock, capable of taking on a vessel
of 400 or 500 tons burden, is about to be commenced, in con-
nection with a foundry on a large scale, for the fabrication of
steam-boat machinery, and which is to be managed by Scots-
men. The large slip dock is to be on a most improved plan,
which is at present used in the United States. The contem-
plated large dry dock, which our Greenock neighbours have
so long and so often talked of, will, we are much afraid, be
now too late to secure that lucrative trade to the Clyde. So
much for procrastination.—Glasgow Chronicle.

amiable and frivolous nature of the French. There is nothing
whichkind ofj usiti g
of passion in it—never expect a folly Not one lady in a hun-
dred would quit the husband she deceives for the lover whom
(soi-disant) she adores. As to the gentlemen—l remember a
case the other day : Madame de hating her husband
s t s and
the
rather more than it is usual to hate a husband, or liking her
lover rather better than it is usual to like a lover, proposed an
elopement. The lover, when able to recover from the astonish-
ment into which he was thrown by so startling and singular a
proposition—having moreover satisfied himself that his mis-
tress was really in earnest—put on a more serious aspect than
usual. " Your husband is, as you know, ma there," said he,
44 my best friend. I will live with you and love 3 ou as long
as you like under his roof—that is no breach of friendship;
but I cannot do M. do so cruel and unfriendly a thing as
to run away with you." In Italy love is fierce, passionate,
impregnated with the sun : in England, as in Germany, love
is sentimental, ideal. It is not the offspring of the heart, but
of the imagination. * * There is this to be said for
England—if the poor-houses of the country swarm with
children without a father—if the streets of the metropolis are
almost turbulently infested with ladies of a most improper
character—if Grosvenor-square and St. James's-square, and
Hill-street, and Charles-street, are witnesses to some myste-
rious and unconjugal indecorums,—the crime of unchastity is
still spoken of and considered as deadly and damnatory as any
to be found in the Newgate Calendar. It was but the other
day that a poor woman charged, I think, a chimney-sweep with
grossly ill-treating, i. e., beating her. What says the chimney-
sweep ? Does he refute the charge ? No : but he asks the
plaintiff at once whether she is not guilty of a criminal inter-
course with a certain cobbler of her acquaintance ; -and when
this unhappy fact is established—turning round triumphantly
to the magistrate—" Now, your honour, vot does your honour
say after that ?" says the chimney-sweeper. —Bulwer's France.

It affords us great pleasure to learn that Mr. Johns'
plan of building boats with the planks placed diagonally, is
now likely to become generally adopted, not only in the
King's service, but also among the yacht clubs, Lord Ver-
non having obtained the sanction of the Admiralty, to have
a boat built for him in the dock-yard, under the immediate
superintendence of Mr. Johns.

The shipwrights who were discharged when the reduc-
tion took place are entered as labourers, owing to their re-
presentations ; one of them belonging to the dock-yard
nineteen years and ten months, so that he came under the
period (twenty years' servitude) to entitle him to superanu-
ation. Several labourers that were discharged at the same
time, and under similar circumstances, are re-entered ; and
those recently entered, amounting to thirty men, are to as-
sist in finishing the Breakwater, who will be recalled at the
dock-yard as opportunities occur.

DIFFERENCE IN ASIATIC AND EUROPEAN
MANNERS.-- The difference between Eastern manners, and
those of Europe, is nowhere more discernible than in their
manner of saying good things. An European enjoys an anec-
dote ; but he would be very much surprised to be called on
in a company to tell one for its amusement. In the East,
there are professional anecdote makers ; in the West, we arc
content with a bon-mot as it flows in the course of conversa-
tion. Both may be traced to the Government ; for in the
East, thou4h there is much familiarity, there is little social
intercourse; and, in Europe, good manners teach us to con-
sider every one at the same board on an equality.—Burnes's
Travels into Bokhara.

COFFEE CONSUMED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
The consumption of coffee in Great Britain is about 10,000
tons ; France, 20,000 tons ; in the Netherlands, 40,000 tons ;
Spain and Portugal, 10,000 tons ; Germany and the Baltic,
32,600 tons; United States, 15,000 :—total consumption,
tons, 127,000. Of this large quantity the British West Indies
does not produce more than 30,000,0001b5., or 13,392 tons ;
while the island of Java alone yields 20,000 tons ; Cuba about
15,000 tons ; St. Domingo nearly 16,000 tons ; the Dutch
West India Colonies, 5,000 tons ; the French ditto and Bour-
bon, 8,000 tons ; and the Brazils and Spanish Main, fully
32,000 tons. Our East India Colonies are capable of yielding
excellent coffee to an indefinite amount."—Montgomery Martin.

The new romance by Mr. Bulwer, entitled, " The
Last Days of Pompeii," is now before the public. The sen-
sation created some years ago by Mr. Martin's picture of the
awful destruction of Pompeii, is not yet forgotten ; but, while
the painter could only seize and represent the operation of
one moment, the art of the novelist can develope the state of
that luxurious Roman city previously to the event which was
to desolate and bury it—can re-animate its inhabitants, and
render them the agents of his romantic incidents—can exhibit
the effects produced in the midst of their festivities, by the
first outbreak of fire from the mountain, and call to new life
their distraction, their terror, and their wild attempts to
escape, till the preternatural darkness, the torrents of lava, and
the showers of ashes, rendered flight useless, and overwhelmed
in one common grave the people and their houses, and splendid
temples. The theme is the noblest which history has ever
bequeathed, though the attempt to illustrate it demands the
atreyte hl whoas

the on
service tistrongest powers of language and imagination. These the

The nervous irritability which it has produced has
even, as a letter from Brest informs us, compelled Captain
Duhautbilly., Commander of the Hernzione frigate, on board
which Admiral Latreyte had hoisted his flag, to quit his frigate
at Rio Janeiro, and return to France on board the Thisbe cor-
vette. That a Captain should abandon his vessel is a very
extraordinary circumstance, and still more so in a foreign
country. The Minister, however, has approved the justification
of M. Duhautbilly, founded on the violent conduct of the
Admiral towards him, and an order which bore testimony to
the bad state of the Admiral's health. The recal of Rear-
Admiral Latreyte has been the consequence. Some, however,
say that he himself asked to be recalled.—French Paper.
HAPPINESS.—It would form perhaps one of the
most amusing, if not the most instructive chapter in poetic
history, to compare the various opinions expressed by the in-
spired respecting happiness. He who dwells in the lonely
valley believes happiness resides in the crowded city among
company and books ; while he who sings amid the rattle of
c
other men's chariot-wheels, and the smoke of ten thousandhimneys, fixes the abode of happiness by the side of some
purling brook—besides a green hill, where the wind is ever
fragrant, and the voice of nature alone is heard. The high '
born bard, sick of the hollow courtesies of polished society,
sighs for pastoral solitudes, where flowers never fade, and
flocks never stray, and beauty is never out of blossom ; the
shepherd bard, on the other hand, who has to wander over
moors and mountains, half choked in winter with drifting
snow, half scorched in summer with burning suns--who has
to shear and clip his flocks, as well as to keep them from the
fox, and save them too from smothering in a snow wreath,
envies the opulent, and longs to be a lord. There was some
sense in the remark of a Scotchman, who, in reading the say-
ing of Solomon, " Snow is beautiful in its season," exclaimed,
" Aye, nae doubt it was beautiful t' you, sitting with rich
wines and the lasses of Jerusalem aside you but had ye been
a poor stave-mason, ye would hae said no such thing."—
Cunningham's' Edition of Burns.
THE LATE MR. JAMES NOBLE, A. M.—This
gentleman, who died here on Tuesday, the 16th inst. was well
known, more especially in this city, as a distinguished orien-
talist. It is evident from his different works that he was inti-
mately acquainted with Hebrew literature; but his attention
had not been confined exclusively to it. From an early age he
bad studied with zeal the living languages of the East, and his
" Letters of a Rabbi," which he published some years ago,
show that with some of these he was minutely conversant ;
that he had observed the general character of each, and had
discriminated with care their several peculiarities. But varied
and extensive as his accomplishments were, his success as a
teacher was not such as his attainments might have led him
m as serving to throw much valuable
to expect. His failure in this respect, however, cannot be
traced to want of ability on his part ; it arose from the little
demand which exists among us for Oriental literature. Al-
though of vast importance, light upon our own language, as well as that of other modern
nations, and although from the useful information it contains,
the beauty and richness of thought and diction with which it
abounds, it is well fitted both to instruct and captivate the
mind, as yet it has had few attractions for the general student,
and seldom if ever forms a branch of his education. For the
most part those only attend to it, the nature of whose profes-
sion renders some acquaintance with it indispensably neces-
sary ; but with regard to such, even in the great majority of
cases, their knowledge of it is wholly superficial. To this
cause, to this general indifference on the subject of his favou-
rite study, was principally owing the little encouragement
which Mr. Noble received in the course of his public and
private tuition. Though his death has blasted for ever the
fond hopes which his friends had cherished of his future emi-
nence, they have the consolation to know that, whether as a
man or a scholar, he has not been useless in his day and gene-
ration. —Edinburgh Courant.
