THE SCOTTISH PULPIT.

Three volumes of this valuable work of Practical Divinity are
are now completed, and may be had of all booksellers for Bs. each
volume. Any volume may be had separate.
" The third volume of this excellent body of Practical Theology
is completed ; and its merits, we think, are even greater than those
of the volumes by which it was preceded. There is a marked im-
provement in the style of the sermons, and to account for the su-
periority is not difficult. The utility of the work is now esta-
blished, and clergymen, appreciating its merits, and knowing its
extensive circulation, select with care . the sermons they wish to
appear_ in its pages. The Scottish Pulpitis a publication in which
Christians of every denomination are interested. With party it
has nothing to do. The diffusion of Christianity isits object, in a
mode cheap, convenient, and elegant.—ln this age of cheap pub-
lications the idea of furnishing two sermons for two-pence seemed
to be merely the speculation of an ardent mind. The attempt,
however, pleased the religious public—the variety of the work
continued-to excite attention—its substantial matter ensured ap-
probation, till, from ranking as a weekly production, it has as-
awned the loftier station of a standard publication of practi-
cal divinity. Nor is this strange. The sermons generally are
what such productions should be, calculated to improve the
understanding and affect the heart, and from the peculiar
circumstances under which they are furnished they have an unction
which few printed sermons possess. This publication, therefore,
has just claims for general diffusion. Is the Christian fond to
_pos-
sess a sermon of his beloved Minister ? In the stillness of the Sab-
bath evening, does he wish a work suitable for that day, and in uni-
son with his feelings?—Does the father, in a domestic circle on that
evening, require a publication to instruct the' minds of his house-
hold, and improve their hearts ? Is the Christian, in the seclusion
of a sick chamber, desirous of spiritual comfort ?—To all these
classes, how diversified soever their circumstances, the Scottish
Pulpit is peculiarly adapted. The religious sailor will find this
work most suitable for a spare hour on Sunday. It will remind
him of home, of his duty to himself, to his neighbour, and to his
God. The pious shipmaster, who assembles his crew for religious
parpoees on Sabbath, would consult his own interest and the spiritual
welfare of those for whom he is deeply responsible, by adding to his
religious exercises a selection from the pages of this work. We
heartily recommend this publication to the patronage of a religious
public ; known, its merits will be acknowledged ; and we are proud
to have this work associated with the literature of Scotland. It is
worthy of her press and of her pastors ; and the publishers merit
the warmest thanks for the manner in which the Scottish Pulpit
has been conducted; and we sincerely trust that their past and con-
tinued exertions will be fairly appreciated."— Greenock Advertiser.

ABelief in the existence of the fountain of youth,
from which those who bathed in its waters gained a pristine
energy, was among the speculations of the 15th century ; it will,
however, serve as no inapt type of the revivifying powers of art
and medicine. Those who, early victims to a morbid imagination,
have sought fatally to anticipate the purposes of nature, and have
consequently lapsed into a state which brings with it weakened ca-
pabilities and clouded hopes, may by timely application to profes-
sional treatment, regain those first, noblest, and best of powers that
have been compromised by the criminal propensities of " guilty soli-
tude," the progress of which is marked by the " lymphatica som-
nia' ofPlinv, attended with bodily weakness and mental apathy.
We may indulge a natural exultation in referring to our daily cor-
respondence with grateful and convalescent patients, not confined to
our own country, but diffused ever the whole world. For twenty-
five years has our peculiar treatment in cases of Nervous Debility
proved eminently successful, and we have hitherto resisted the
earnest solicitations of our patients to publish their cases in a public
address • the following, however, has been so urgently pressed upon
us by a medical friend, that we have yielded to an importunity suf-
ficiently excusable by the gratitude it evinces :
" Dear Sirs—My fondest hopes are realized ! Accept my most
neartfelt thanks ; words are inadequate to express my unbounded
gratitude. May you long live to reap the rich reward of your
labours in the treatment of that class of diseaseswhich have hitherto
baffled the skill of your medical brethren.

There are many disorders of the generative system (which, when
compared with the above, may be termed subsordinate) that are
consequent upon the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the
passions, exhibiting in some, debility from excess, in others, the
relaxing effects of a tropical climate, and in many, indeed in bow
many, the various maladies which afflict the student, the misan-
thrope, the gay, the dissipated, and the likertine. In all these
cases our practice, which embraces every grade in society, from the
smacncesosffrualr to him of the humblest sphere, has been uniformly
u
and as secresy belongs to our profession, the most deli-
cate and diffident may apply without fear or hesitation.

Ti SSENCE of CAMOMILE and GINGER.—
AA This preparation is a compound of two of the most valuable
medicines in the vegetable kingdom. It combines the stomachic
properties of the Ginger,_ with the aromatic and bitter qualities of
the Camomile Flower. By perseverance in the use of this Essence,
the digestive organs are recovered from a debilitated state, whether
arising from long continued excess, or a want of tone and energy
of those organs ; and in nervous debility, weakness, lowness of
spirits, hysteric affections, flatulence, habitual relaxed bowels, and
acidity of the stomach, which arise (in the majority of cases) from
the above stated causes. It is certain in affording instant relief in
the most violent sick head-aches. This Essence is invaluable to
those in the habit of drinking camomile tea, as a tea of any strength
can instantly be made with it, and at the same time avoiding the
great evil of introducing so much unnecessary fluid into the stomach,
so detrimental to the digestive organs.
This Essence is prepared only by Decimus Woodhouse, operative
Chemist, 18, King William-street, New London-bridge •, and sold
by him wholesale and retail ; also by Sanger, 150, Oxford-street ;
Hanna}, 63, Oxford-street ; and to be had of all Medicine venders
in town and country. Country venders may be supplied through
their town agents.

ELECTION for SOUTH DEVONSHIRE.

(From the Western Times of Saturday.)
We perceive by the returns to Lord John Russell's com-
mittee, that the best spirit exists throughout the county.
Sir William Molesworth left London on Saturday to
canvas the neighbourhood of Tetcott in behalf of Lord
John Russell. The Hon. Baronet will be present at Exeter
on the day of nomination, should Mr. Parker's friends carry
their infatuation so far as to bring him to Exeter.
Colonel Seale has gone to Dartmouth to give the reform
cause the weight of his valuable presence.
Mr. Divett, Member for Exeter, has left London for this
district to promote the cause of reform through the election
of Lord John Russell.
EARL MORLEY.—It is understood that this nobleman
will not support Mr. Parker, even though he is a relative.
The Noble Earl was present at the marriage of Lord John
Russell on Saturday last, and besides being a good consti-
tutional Reformer, his Lordship has for a long time been
on terms of intimacy with Lord John.
KINGSBRIDGE, APRIL 13.—We have had a most enthu;
siastic meeting `tere. R. W. Newman and T. Newman,
Esqrs., were both present. Many parishes have been al-
ready canvassed with complete success. The tithe-payers
feel that this is their cause—they say that any man who
does not now support Lord John Russell deserves to pay
the tithe in kind for life. Yesterday being the great cattle
market, we had a most influential meeting, at which the
yeomanry for miles round attended.
ToTNEs.—We are all on the alert here. J. Parrott,
Esq., our patriotic member posted down from London im-
mediately on ascelaining that there was a probability that
Lord John would be opposed. R. Watson, Esq., of
Dorsley, sent a special messenger to Kingsbridge and other
districts, and the country round is completely roused. Lord
John Russell has risen .50 per cent. in this neighbourhood
since the last election.
BRIXHAM, APRIL 3.—We have canvassed Brixham
this day for Lord John Russell. lam most happy to say
that the result proves an increase in the Liberal interest.
HONITON.—We get on extremely well with our canvass.

E x mon TH.—TheTories are not merely foolish here, but
they are stark mad. A certain lady has canvassed the
town, end given pretty significant intimations of her wishes.
According to the reports which we have received, it is
stated that this lady has promised to remember those who
vote for Lord John Russell.

SIDBURY.—The liberal Reformers of Sidbury have lost
no time in meeting together; and consulting as to the best
means to be adopted for the re-election of the Right Hon.
Lord John. Russell. They met in considerable numbers on
Alonday evening at the Red Lion, Sidbury, and passed the
following resolution :
" Resolved, that it is the opinion of this meeting, that in
the event of an election for the southern division of the
county of Devon, the Right Hon. Lord John Russell is
eminently entitled to its support, and that this meeting will
accordingly do its best for the re•election of the Noble
Lord."
Nothing can exceed the personal rancour of the Tories
towards Lord John Russell. At a dinner at Dartmouth,
shortly after the late election, at which several clergymen
were present, we heard that an individual jumped up in
the middle of a speech, at the moment that Lord John's
name was mentioned, and applied an abusife epithet to his
Lordship. Another being quite intoxicated, sprung up,
and waving his glass with bacchanalian fury, gave " D---
to Lord John Russell !" and as we are informed, the hor-
rible toast was responded to with the heartiest eteering.
Gentlemen Conservatives, this is a bad spirit.

LITERARY ANNOUNCEMENTS. —The present
season promises to give us abundance of entertainment of a
high order. Among other works to be immediately published
are, a new bookfrom the pen of the distinguished author of
" Vathek" and " Italy." Mr. Beckford is the most original.
and fascinating writer of our time. His work is to be entitled
" An Excursion to the Monasteries of Alcobaca and Batallia."
A portrait of the possessor of -Fonthill, from an original
painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, will accompany the pro-
duction.—A new novel, by the author of " The Pilot," to bet
called " The Monnikin," is announced. Mr. Cooper's name
as a novelist is second to none, and his productions rank be-.
side those of Sir Walter Scott.—The Rev. Vere Munro is
about to publish " A Summer Ramble in Syria, 1834, with a
Tartar Trip from Aleppo to Stamboul." In the course of his
excursion Mr. Monro visited the various interesting- localities
rendered sacred by the Holy Scripture.—Lieut.- Colonel
Badcock has in the press his " Rough Leaves from a Journal,
kept in Spain and- Portugal in 1832,33, and 34." This gal-
lant Olflcer was employed upon an important mission to those
countries by the British Government.—The most distinguished
living poet of France, De Lamartine, whose " Harmonies
Poetiques" have rendered him so popular, has committed to
the press his " Pilgrimage to the Holy Land." All who arce
acquainted with the genius of this eminent religious poet, will
expect upon such a subject from him a work of pious and.
poetical enthusiasm. The verses interspersed are to be me-
trically rendered by our fair countrywoman L. E. L.—A new
novel, entitled " The Heir of Mordaunt," from the pen of the
author of " Adelaide," who is, we believe, a niece of a Noble,
Earl.—Mr. Maxwell, the popular author of " Stories of Water_
loo," is at length about to publish a new work which has beei,
long announced, called "My Life," detailing some of tire
passages in his own eventful career.—A novel, yclept " Horse-
Shoe Robinson," by the author of " Swallow Barn" (Mr.
Kennedy), a writer of high reputation in the United States.
—Mr. Wingrove Cooke advertises the " Memoirs of Lord
Bolingbroke," with portraits by Kneller and Rysbrach. It is
very singular that no detailed life of this distinguished literary
as well as political character has yet been published. The,
present work cannot fail to be a valuable addition to literature..
TIIE -HONEY OF TREBIZOND.—In a letter front
Keith Abbott, Esq., to the Secretary of the Zoological So-
ciety, is an account of this famous honey, spoken of by
Xenophon as having produced the effect of temporary mad-
ness, or rather drunkenness, on the whole army who ate of
it, without causing any serious consequences.ipti It is sup-,
posed to he," he observes, " from the flowers of the azalea
pontica that the bees extract this honey, that plant growing
in abtindance in this part of the country, and its blossoms
emitting the most exquisite odour. The effect which it has
on those who eat it is, as I have myself witnessed, precisely that
which Xenophon describes. When taken in a small quantity
it causes violent headache and vomiting, and the unhappy indi-
vidual who has swallowed it resembles, as much as possible, a
tipsy man ; and a larger dose will completely deprive him of
all his senses and power of moving for some hours afterwards.

Yesterday the grand Easter dinner was given by the
Lord Mayor. Upwards of 300 sat down to dinner.
Amongst them we noticed the Bishop of London, Lady
Bagot, Miss Bagot, the Bishop of Oxford, Lady
Cust, the Bishop of Llandaff, the Bishop of Ohio, the
Countess de Salis, the Wirtemburgh Minister, the
Belgian Minister, the Brazilian Minister, the Gre
cian Minister, the Mexican Minister, the Bavarian Mi-
nister, the American Minister, the Swedish Minister, Sir
E. Cust, Sir William Follett, the Deputy Governor of the
Bank of England, the Chairman and' Deputy Chairman of
the East India - Company.
_ _

The first toast given by the LORD MAYOR was " Church
and King," after which followed the " Princess Victoria,"
and the r..st of the Royal Family, and " The Army and
Navy of the United Kingdom."
When the Lord Mayor proposed " His Majesty's Minis-
ters," a great struggle took place between those who ap-
proved and those who disapproved of the toast. The dis-
sentients were • evidently the most numerous party.
The LORD MAYOR then proposed the health of the Mi-
nister of Wirtemburg and the other foreign Ministers, of
whose company he felt, he declared, extremely proud.
The WIRTEMBURG MINISTER returned thanks in a few
words.

On Tuesday morning last Deborah Wybrow, of
Crossfield-lane, Deptford, who had lived in that town 102
years, came to an untimely end by falling down . stairs and
and dislocating her neck. It bad been arranged with the Di-
rectors of the Greenwich Railway that Mrs. Deborah Wybrow
should be their first passenger.
A young man, of the name of Cunningham, who
held the situation of clerk in the office of Mr. Carmichael, of
Stephen's-green, died suddenly on Saturday last, under ex-
tremely afflicting circumstances. He had been the support of
an aged mother and a large family of brothers and sisters,
whom he maintained by the most praiseworthy and unremitting
industry. About two months since he fell into an extremely
delicate state of health, owing to his having slept in damp
sheets; a had cold was the consequence, and he was unable to
shake it off. On Saturday morning, about ten o'clock, as ho
was going through Aungier-street, to the office of his master,
the violence of his cough reached such a height that he burst a
blood vessel. He was immediately brought into the shop of
Mr. M'Carthy, the apothecary, which was near and although
that gentleman used every exertion to restore him, he expired
in a few minutes.—Dublin Paper.
SETTLEMENT IN A NEW VICARAGE.-" I have
this day taken possession of the Vicarage of Tuddingtori,
where I hope to be of eminent service to that apostolical
church of which lam an unworthy priest. You desire to
know all the particulars of my new pastoral charge. First,
then, touching the fleece, which I hold to be a very essential
part of the true Church of Christ according to apostolical tra-
dition. The living I find for the last seven years produced
about 4501. to the last vicar ; but Mr. Screw, a very pious
attorney of this place, assures me that I may easily make
6001. per annum, by compelling all the small gardeners, who
are very numerous, to pay their dues without allowing any de-
duction. The late vicar, a man of loose principles, who had
no regard for the welfare'of his successors, has never pressed
his demands on the gardeners ; but I feel it a duty I owe to
the churchto gather to the utmost farthing, and I have al.-
ready given directions to the excellent and orthodox Mr. Screw
to take the proper steps in this business. You know, my dear
brother, that " the ox which treadeth out the corn is not to bo
muzzled ;" we who are successors of the apostles, have we not
power to cat and drink? for who feedeth a flock and eateth,
not of the milk of the flock ? I intend to get all the corn I
can, and all the milk I can ; would that I could indeed eat of
the great tithes ! But, alas I the impiety of a generation
which hated the church has robbed the clergy of their dues,
and the great tithes are in the hands of the Duke of —.
Something, however, still remains worth eating, and I will
take care that no muzzle is put on the mouth of your dutiful
brother Rabsbakch. The vicarage is a good house ;it wants,
however, a bath-room and a conservatory ; and I intend to
make Mrs. Thomson, the late vicar's widow, pay my bill for
these desiderata, in the form of dilapidatiens, which we esti-
mated as high as 470/. Mrs. Thomson pleads her nine chil-
dren, but she has done too much mischief.in the parish to find
any mercy from me."—Posthumous Letters of the Rev. Rail
shakeh Gathercoal.

The LORD MAYOR next proposed the Lord Bishop of
London. The first toast comprehended the Church of
which that prelate was so distinguished an ornament.
They all knew with what great fervour the Right Reverend
Bishop discharged the sacred duties of his office, and
would all bear upon this occasion the warmest testimony to
his high merits and character.
The Bishop of LONDON in returning thanks alluded to
the great exertions of the Lord Mayor and the rest of
the city magistrates in preventing crime. A connection
was thus established between the duties of the sacred pro-
fession and those of the magistrate, and he was convinced
that the connection would be kept up with the utmost
firmness and effect.

The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the health of the Bishop
of Oxford, spoke of the services rendered to the Royal Hos-
pitals by that Right Rev. Bishop.

The 'LOAD Mavon said that the next toast he had to
propose would, he was convinced, be received with all the
respect which was due to a man who was most highly dis-
tinguished as a great military commander—(Loud cheers)
—not only as a military commander, but as a great states-
man, to whom the public in general, and the citizens of
London in particular, were under the deepest obligations.
--(Cheers.) Everybody present knew that he meant the
Duke of Wellington. They knew that he meant a man
who had fought the battles of his country, and in time of
peace endeavoured to direct the energies of his great mind
to the advantage of the community, by aiding his Majesty
with his counsel ;—who served his Sovereign with singular
fidelity, at the same time that he advanced the interests of
the public to the utmost.
There was some hissing mixed with the very loud and
general applause with which the announcement was re-
ceived.

The LORD MAYOR said that he was about to propose a
toast, which, he was confident, would be received with the
same sincerity of applause bestowed upon that of the Duke
of Wellington. They well knew the peculiar circum-
stances under which. Sir Robert Peel took into his hands
the reins of Government, and proceeded to direct the affairs
of the State ; and they knew too the sacrifices of domestic
comfort made by that honourable and distinguished indi-
vidual for the benefit of the nation.—(Loud cheers.)
Events sometimes turned out contrary to expectation, and
such had been the case in a recent instance ; but if ever a
man was disposed and qualified to serve his Sovereign and
