THE BILIOUS PILLS,

PREPARED by F. NEWBERY and
SONS, are the discovery of a Physician of the
first eminence at the present time. In all extensive prac-
tice for some years he has employed them in the most ob-
stinate Bilious Cases with unvarying success. They operate
principally as a deobstruent and purgative, they promote a
proper action of the liver in the secretion of bile, or cor-
rect it when in a vitiated state. Obstructions of the
stomach and bowels are gradually removed ; and by
giving tone to the hiliary ducts and strength to the sys-
tem, they afford relief to those who suffer from nervous
attacks, sick head-ache, giddiness, indigestion, and gouty
affection.

The Bilious Pills have the name " F. Newbery" en-
graved in the Government stamp on each Box, and are
sold at No. 45, Sr. Paul's Church-yard ; and by J. San-
ger, 150, Oxford-street, London ; and all Venders in
the Country, price 2s. 9d.

Swing is not to be " unmasked" for nothing.
During the time Mr. WAKEFIELD came to town to print
his history of the notorious Captain, the corn-stacks, &c.,
of one of his own farm-yards were burnt. While the
writer was illuminating the metropolis, the doer got up a
light of his own in Gloucestershire. Just as the last page
of Swing Unmasked was going to press in town, a sreet
of flame announced the revenge of Swing in the country.
This, at any rate, puts to flight the wicked insinuation
that hail been spread abroad by some literary incendiary,
that Mr. WAKEFIELD was his own Swing.—Spectator.
ELECTIONEERING.—The late JOHN ELLIS,
Esq., who was termed " a violent party man," was em-
ployed as an agerat in an election, which was not only
strongly contested on the spot, but, on the ground of some
irregularity, brought by petition before the House of
Commons. To the bar of the House Mr. ELLIS was
brought, on the part of the petitioning candidate, whorl he
underwent a cross-examination, of which the following is
the substance :—" We understand, Mr. ELLIS, that a very
considerable sum was expended on this election, and that
great part of it was directed to the purposes of corrupting
the voters. Do you know of any such application of
money, or of any bribes being actually eccepted on the
part of the electors?"—" Indeed, Sir, I do, as agent. I
know that our party bribed all that we could get to accept
our money !" At this acknowledgment a pause of
astonishment seemed to pervade the House ; a murmur
succeeded, which only subsided on a Member's saying to
the witness " Your party did not carry the election ?"
" No," returned ELLIS, with great composure, " we did
not."—" Well, but Mr. ELLIS," said the first querist, " is
it not ex'raordinary, as you say you bribed all that would
take your money, that you did not return your Member ?"
—" Not in the least," said Ent's. "No ! why how do
you account for it ?"—" Easily ; the opposity party out-
bribed us." At this there was a universal burst of
laughter. " I shall not ask you any more questions, Mt.
ELLIS," said the interrogater wits great indignation.

The following strange occurrence has lately
taken place at Champignolles (Eure) :—An inhabitant of
the village having dug a hole to entrap a wolf, put upon
it a live goose as a bait for the voracious animal. Another
inhabitant, on perceiving the fluttering goose at a aistance,
approached it, and fell into the ditch, which was eight
feet deep, the sides being cut out so as to form an inverted
cone. He vainly attempted to get out, and was patiently
waiting for the return of day; but lie had not waited long
when something very heavy fell upon his shoulders. This
was a wolf, attracted by the bait. The fright of the poor
man may be easily imagined; that of the wolf was equally
great, for he imtntdiately got into a corner, whence he did
not stir all night. When day appeared, the man who had
made the trap came up for his prey, and lie was not a
little surprised at finding his two prisoners. The wan
was taken out more dead than alive. No forbearance seas
shown to the wolf, which was killed in spite of his fa
bearance during the night.—Freuch Paper.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT for DECEMBER.

The present, as we obServed of the previous
month I.,idom affords much novelty of agriculture
'
report. On the approach of spring the plot will)
thicken. There has been too much rain during the
mouth for our heavy lands, already water-logged
and sodden ; but on the whole it has been a mild
and favourable autumn for the operations of the sea-
son, which, to use a common phrase, are on a full
average of forwardness. As to the light and thirsty
soils, they continue to enjoy in full measure the
benefits conferred upon them during the three or
four years past. The early sown wheats are doubt-
less too forward, and in some danger of exhaustion
from their rampant luxuriance; and that which is
still more to be apprehended and regretted, their
almost equal sharers in the soil, the weeds, are also
too generally a most magnificent crop. The short
time which the seed has required for germination
has occasioned the least possible loss. In Scotland,
perhaps generally, some portion of the wheat sowing
will be deferred to the commencement of the new
year, latter December being there deemed the worst
seed season ; yet there remains a strong objection to
this practice in the possible case of a continued frost.
