A POLITIC; IL it CLIC.--We
have seen a curious
copper medal which was recently band in the railway
cutting at Tackley. It is rather larger than a half-
crown, but thinner ; and is a caricature of events

The caricature,
owmoerdfoJESxiroileto,.),b,ert.” At the foot
no doubt, refers to Sir ilobert Walpole., who was
Prime Minister in the reign of George 11., and who,
about 1743, introduced the first really effective Ex.
else laws. On the reverse of the medal are the figures
of Sir Robert Walpole and Admiral Vernon, political
opponents, with a ship in the distance, and a sail-ell:led
crown above, This probably has rderence to the taking
of Porto Bello. The Admiral, jeering Sir Robert, said
he could take the place with six ship. Sir Robert took
him at his word, and dispatched him with that number,
and with very few troops, we think less than 300. The
:slant Admiral kept his word, and reduced the place.
The legend on this side is not to be deciphered, except-
ing the word "Vernon."—Banbury Guardian.
SOMVIIIING 'STEW IN GAS MASING.—We are in-
formed that a Mr. Wilkinson, Of Grimetthorpe near
Sheffield, has invented a gas-making apparatus, that will
produce 9;000 cubic f. et of gas from one ton of coals,
and is 80 constructed that any steady labourer may ma-
nage it with as little trouble as trimming the oil-lamps
required to give the same amount of light. Mr. Wit_
kinsot says, that good gas may be obtained at less than
2s. per 1,000 cubic feet.-111inmg Journal.
[Any EansEntsmr .] —The greatest luxury con-
sists in clean and perfectly safe shaving. The Patent
Invention combines the following greet and essential
advantages over every other razor manufactured. It
can bo used by all men—by the boldest as well as the
most timid shaver—on the darkest morning without a
candle or glass—on board 'ship in the heaviest sea, and
will, without irritation, with great rapidity,
effectually
remove the beard, imperceptibly, with celerity and ease,
and not cut the skin. Those who have never previously
shaved may now, without being in the least dependent
on a valet or barber, shave thetnselves without fear. ().
Stewart and Co.'s Plantagenet Guard Razor has teeth
like a pocket-comb, and can be obtained of all cutlers in
the United Kingdom, and throughout the world. pa_

[ADVERTISEMENT.)—An infallible remedy are
Holloway's Pills for the Cure of Coughs, Colds, and Asthma,.
—There are daily so many undeniable proofs of the efficacy of
Holloway's Pills in the cure of diseases of the chest, arising
either from old coughs, recent cold, wheezing., or shortness of
breath, that all persons, whether young or old, suffering from
such complaints, should haye immediate recourse to these in.
valuable pills, as a short trial will show their extraordinary
powers. Many persons who wore scarcely able to draw their
breath, and apparently almost at death's door, have been com-
pletely cured by this remedy, to the astonishment of those who
had witnessed their sufferings.—Sold by all Druggists and at.
