THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITIPS
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 18110. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations •of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossraith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

destruction of the health and happiness of thousands. These

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs.,
at tie cost of 5d.. mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
far a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing nd. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, do livered by my
