"THE 'RIGHT HON. THE VISOOI7NT PALMERSTON,
M.P., &c.

" London, March 5.

" My Lord,—We, the undersigned merchants of the city
of London, engaged in trade with the East, beg leave to
address your Lordship to offer the expression of our cor-
dial thanks for the firmness which you have displayed in
upholding the honour of Great Britain, and in a determina-
tion to protect the lives and property of British subjects,
peaceably engaged in commercial intercourse with China.
"We lament the collision, causing the destruction of
life and property, which has occurred, and we are under
grave apprehensions that still further difficulties and dis-
asters will be created by the late adverse vote in the House
of Commons.
"We therefore look confidently to your Lordship to
devise measures calculated to protect our friends and fel-
low-countrymen, and to extricate us honourably from the
present painful state of things in China.
" In pursuing these great objects we trust you will not
be deterred by what has occurred from continuing to main-
tain a firm anti dignified attitude until all treaty obliga-
tions are fulfilled, and our commercial relations with China
placed on a permanent footing of security and peace.
" We have the honour to ho, my Lord,
"Your Lordship's most obedient servants,

[AnvßivrisrasENT.]--Jane Hallett, of Whitty Head,
finite da,ght of his family
near Netherbnry, Dorset, suffered for many years from
a bad leg. From the knee to the uncle it had several
wounds, so that she was unable to stand or move about
the house. She tried a variety of means and applica-

God and using only three pots of Poor Mati's Friend,
and taking three boxes of pills, she was perfectly cured.
