EIXTREUES. By Miss E. W. ATKINSON,
Author of " Memoirs of the Queens of Prussia."

" A nervous and vigorous style, an elaborate delineation
of character under many varieties, spirited and well-sus-
tained dialogue, and a carefully constructed plot: if these
have any charm for our readers, they will not forget the
swiftly gliding hours passed in perusing Extremes. Even
those who differ from the moral of the t ale will be constrained
to do justice to its power, pathos, and vivacity. By all it will
be read with intense interest."—Morniug Post.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—Every
person having an interest in domestic or farm animals
should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical
food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching
eason. For keeping horses in good condition it is unequal-
:ed. Pigs fatten with surprising rapidity upon it, and their
flesh increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find
zreat advantage in.the increased quantity and improved qua-
lity of the milk during its use. All animals are benefited by
it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by
Testimonials from the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Agri-
3ultutists, forwarded on application. In casks containing
148 feeds (measures enclosed), price 505., carriage paid to any

head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to be the best
medicine for immediately relieving coughs, colds, confirmed
eases of asthma and consumption. It frequently cures per-
sons whom the falulty pronounce incurable, admirably allays
the tickling which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons de-
prived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffocation,
may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it. Pre-
pared only and sold by W. Lambert, chemist, 20, .Termyn-

NORWICH AND PURITY OF ELECTION.

A committee of the Norwich corporation was in
structed to furnish recommendations fo'r the pre,

vention of bribery. It proposed the subjoinedde-
claration for each of the municipal councillors, and
the recommendations which follow, in regard to
general elections. We comment on, them else-
where.

The following is a copy of the declaration sent to
each member of the council with a request that he
would say whether he was willing to sign it:—

DECLARATION.
We, the undersigned, do hereby undertake to
each other, on the occasion of the election of Town
Councillors on the Ist day of November next, to
abstain from and to discountenance bribery, treat-
ing, and every form of corrupt and illegal expen-
diture or practice, and also from all organised or
systematic personal canvassing, both directly and
indirectly.
And we further declare, as aforesaid, that in case
of an alleged infraction of the above, it be referred
to the Mayor and Sheriff for the time being, to-
gether with Mr. Chancellor Evans as referee, or to
a third person or umpire to be named by them, to
determine whether the above undertaking, has been
honourably carried out or not, and that the coun-
cillors returned at the election in question shall be
bound-to abide by such (recision, and to resign his
or their seats, if it be adjudged that his or their
election was procured or promoted by a violation of
the above undertaking, and the other candidates
and parties subscribinc, this Declaration shall also
abide by the decision ofr such referees or umpire.
