LORD ELDON'S APERIENT PILLS.
The gnat celebrity which these Pills have obtained amongst

huge circle of the Nobility and Gentry, as a mild, cooling Aperient,
has induced the l'roprietor to bring them more prominently before
the public. They are prepared from the prescription of an eminent
Court Physician, and their superior merit consists in speedily re-
moving costiveness and indigestion, producing increased mental
vigour, and a cheertUl state of health ; they have stood the to t of
Filly Years experience, and are particularly beneficial in obviating
the evils arising from stn, ions and sedentary occupations. Sold at

The interest taken in the project ft;; the formation of rail-
ways in India appears to be rapidly increasing, y the
applications fur shares in the undertaking (the Already
ex-
perimental line that has been sun.gested) St
exceeded tha number which the Conipan ha have
picevae t,t,f
command. The concern is under the ri3Cut
• the Court of Directors of the Ea.,t India Company, and will
no doubt meet with every assistance which fairly belongs to
the Court. The prospectus already issued is drawn up with
mach 'care and attention. and no pains we understand will be
in order to place the line upon the moat favourable

It mfy be :nteresting to state that some American hops
just offered at public sale by Keeling and Hunt, have realised
6,A. per c-vt. fur exportation, the duty being prohibitory for
home consun:ption ; the quality was a decided improvement
on the former si4ments, and were encouragement given, no
doubt greater attention would be paid to their cultivation on
tLe other side.

The market for Railway Shares is a little brisker to-day,
and the quotations are in most instances tolerably well sup-
ported. The Trent Valley Continuation line is reported very-
fiivourably of by the parties sent down to re-survey it, and
as it brings Chester into communication with London, and
completes the railway to the coast, by joining the Chester
and Holyhead, and establishing a railway route to Ireland,
in a national point of view the line is important.
