unaltered.

quantity of dried goods on offer.

large business transacted at about previous values.

THE CENSUS.—BiIIs are passing through Parlia-
ment for taking the census in 1861. The English bill con-
tains a new requirement, that every person shall state *hat
is his religious profession. Objection has been taken to this
in some quarters, and it is said that many persons will find
it difficult to range themselves. The Irish bill avoids bring-
ing the point before Parliament by directing generally that
an account shall be taken of all such particulars as the
Secretary for Ireland shall indicate. The council of the
Statistical Society recommend that it be left optional whether
an answer shall be given to the inquiry respecting religious
profession, and they also suggest that some particulars be
collected of the character (as well as the number) of the
dwellings of the population, and that an effort be made to
institute a decennial return of some kind of agricultural
statistics, and to collect information respecting the income
of charitable and beneficent societies and institutions, such
as exist in nearly every parish and in connection with every
place of worship.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and !ills.—
Domestic Remedies.—There are two periods especially in
woman's life, which require, for safe passage, judgment
and attention. Irregularity is apt at those critical times
to take place and to lay the foundation of future disease.
Holloway's: Ointment well rubbed over the defective
organs will soon restore them to the full performance of
their natural functions, and completely relieve the system
of these first seeds of disease. The Pills, safe in action,
and effective in result, should be likewise taken, as they
contribute materially to the ointment's efficiency. The
proper use of these domestic remedies prevents nervous-
ness, hy!teria,orysipelas, dropsy, and a host of similar and
often serious disorders. By expelling all impurities they
maintain a clear silky complexion.
