—On the Ist inst. there were sixty-nine ships of various
dimensions building at Sunderland, twenty-five of which
only are sold ; the remaining forty-four are awaiting pur-
chasers. lii ineteen are ready for launching, 13 of which
are unsold. The remaining fifty will be ready far launching
--ally next year. The largest vessel is of 1,300 tons o.m ,
built by Mr. W. Pile, for John Hay, Esq., and sold to Mr.
Green, of London. The remainder are of various burthens,
from 1,100 tons, to under 100 tons, two-thirds of which are in
the market. At Shields there are only five vessels on the
stocks, viz., a barque of 447 tons, a ship of 642 tons, a brig
of 252 tons, and one iron and one wood-vessel not yet mea-
sured. During the present year, only 41X vessels have been
launched at Shields, with an aggregate tonnage of 2,577,
and this includes an iron lighter of 782 tons, built for the
Thames.—Sunderland Herald.
[ADVERTISEAIENT].—HoIIoway Pills and Ointment.—
For all skin diseases, hewever inveterate, these medicines
are a sovereign remedy.. While the Ointment pass9s
through the pores of the skin, as water saturates the soil,
or as salt penetrates meat, the Pills act upon the blood,
which they correct and purify; the whole physical ma-
chinery is thus rendered, healthy,. regular, and vigorous.
The cure thus effected is not partial and temporary. The
disease is entirely and for ever drivenfrom the system, and
the patient need not be apprehensive of its return. As
these medicines have no violent action they do not necessi-
tate any interruption of ordinary avocations. They are
composed of rare balsams, and may safely be given to young
children and delicate females.
