THE TURN OF LIFE !—CURE EXTRAORDINARY BY
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—A respectable woman, aged 47,
named Graham, residing in Scotland-road, Liverpool,
was in the most critical and dangerous state for nine
months, being sometimes almost choked with phlegm,
with shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart, toge-
ther with a general derangement and debility of the
whole system. Her life was in the greatest danger
when she commenced the use of these miraculous pills,
which restored her to the highest state of health in five
weeks. They are the finest medicine in the world for
females of all ages. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment)
at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, strand
(where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all
respectable medicine vendors throughout the civilised
world.

PORTSOKEN WARD.—In this ward a very active
canvass is going on in favour of the candidates, Mr.
Sheriff Moon, Mr. David Salomons, and Mr. Scales, and
their committees respectively express sanguine expecta-
tions as to the result. In various parts of the ward
banners and flags are exhibited with inscriptions and
mottoes upon them. The Lord Mayor will attend on
Wednesday morning at the late workhouse, Cock and
Hoop-court, Houndsditch, when after the nomination of
the several candidates at the wardmote, this will be ad-
journed to America-square, where a booth will be erected
to take the votes of the electors of the ward. This cere-
mony used to be performed at the church, but it is
wished to avoid the desecration of the sacred edifice for
such a purpose, on which account it is proposed that the
wardmote should be continued in America-square.
BILLINGSGATE WARD.—ELECTION OF AN ALDER-
mAN.—In compliance with the precept of the Lord
Mayor, Thursday next has been appointed for the nomi-
nation and election of an alderman to represent the
ward of Billingsgate. Duringthe last few days, Mr. W.
Metcalfe, formerly a resident in the ward, and a coal-
factor, offered himself as a candidate to the freemen of
the ward, but, after having canvassed the inhabitants for
two days, the chairman of his committee wrote to the
chairman of the committee of Mr. Thomas Sidney,
sheriff elect, intimating that it was not the intentio❑ of
Mr. Metcalfe to contest the election. There being no
other candidute in the field, there will be no doubt of
Mr. Sidney's return.
THE LAW OF COURTSHIP IN AMERICA.—In a
recent trial for breach of promise of marriage, in Ver-
mont, the judge laid it down that no explicit promise of
marriage was necessary to bind the parties to a marriage
contract, but that long-continued attention to or itims,cy
with a female was as good evidence of intended marriage
as a special contract.
