truly astonishing. This invaluable medicine acts with such
peculiar effect upon the system that the fluids arising from this
direful disease are imperceptibly evacuated and wholly pre-
vented from any further accumulation. The distressing
symptoms which accompany the complaint being thus
dispersed, the sufferer regains buoyancy of spirits and a com-
pletely renovated constitution. Females of a particular period
of life should have recourse to these admirable Pills, which are
sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.
A STRANGE nsa.—An enormous fish, weighing
upwards of 100Ibs., called the maigre (seiwnaquila), was
caught during the last week off Brixham-roads by some
fishermen of that port, and sent by railway to Billingsgate-
market on Saturday morning, where it was purchased by
Mr. Charles, fishmonger, of Arabella-row, Pimlico, in whose
possession it now is. This fish is generally abundant, accord-
ing to Mr. Yarrell, on the southern side of the Mediterra-
nean ; but it is also caught off the shores of Spain, France,
and Italy. The naaigre is gregarious in its habits, swimming
in shoals, making a purring noise loud enough to be heard
from a depth of sO fathoms; its capture, however, is net a
very easy task, from its great size and strength, that in the
possession of Mr. Charles being between 5 and 6 feet long.
It is considered a great delicacy by the inhabitants of the
coasts of Spain and Italy, and appears to have formerly been
in great request with epicures. From its size, it was sold in
pieces; and the fishermen of Rome were in the habit of pre-
: senting the head, which was considered the finest part, as a
sort of tribute to the three local magistrates who acted as
conservators of the city.
