DR. WARBURG'S VEGETABLE FEVER
DROPS.

This medicine has been proved in many thousand cases to be far
more efficacious than any febrifuge hitherto known, while its use
entails none of the unpleasant consequences too frequently pro-
duced by quinine and other preparatiors of bark.
It is purely vegetable ; its operation is uniform—its effects imme-
diate ; and it may be safely administered to infants at the breast.
The action of the medicine is slightly narcotic and highly sudorific ;
pains in the head, back, and limbs are immediately relieved, and
fever is eradicated in from six to twenty-four hours. It is exhibited
in the form of a tincture, a phial containing two doses of three
drachms each being sufficient in any case. It has been extensively
used in the East and West Indies, France, Germany and Italy, with

unqualified success, in cases of the most malignant- nature, and with
equal efficacy in fevers of every type.
As it may be safely taken under any circumstances, with a certainty
of immediate relief, it will be found invaluable when other medical aid
cannot be obtained. Those, therefore, who, either on business or plea-
sure, visit the South of France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and
the neighbouring countries, and, above all, residents in the East
and West Indies, the Mediterranean, African, and South American
colonies, will du well to avail themselves of a remedy, the perfect
safety and extraordinary efficacy of which have been proved in
many thousand instances, and in every climate.
By providing themselves with a supply of this medicine, owners
or masters of vessels trading to the coast of Africa, the southern
States of America, and other parts where fever is prevalent, will
prevent its ravages from carrying off or disabling their crews, at a
Cost which is utterly insignificant when compared with the value of
lives and the time lost, and the expense incurred for hired labour,
necessarily employed in foreign ports whenever the ship's company is

unequal to the duty.
Testimonials of the most convincing nature from Sir Andrew Hal-
liday, Deputy Inspector General of Army Hospitals (in his official
report, dated British Guiana, Oct. 5, 1834, and in his letter to the
Right Honourable Lord Viscount Howick, Secretary at War, on Sick-
ness and Mortality in the West Indies, March 8, 1859), and nu-
merous other distinguished members of the profession, British, Co-
lonial, and Continental, are in the possession of Dr. Warburg. At-
tested copies of the official reports, &0., may be obtained on applica-
tion to any of the Agents for the sale of the Medicine.
Dr. Warburg's Febriffige is prepared only under his own imme-
diate direction, and is issued exclusively from his Laboratory, No. 27,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London ; but it may be obtained
of Agents In any part of Groat Britain, and also in most of the Bri-
tish Colonies, price Bs. per phial.

(11HE STATE OF THE WEATHER.
A. Don't wonder, good reader, nor take it amiss,
That we draw a few hint,' from a subject like ail..
You'll find, when the stanzas are all put together,
That miny just thoughts-may be glean'd from the " Weather.
In the country throughoUt, do the farmers complain,
'that the land has been water'd with so little rain.
Scarce a cloud has appear'd in the lofty blue sty,
And the fountains of Heaven appear to be dry.
What a contrast is daily exemplified, thus,
'Twixt the singular state of the Weather, and US.
A hundred.'old happier portion is our S,
For favour a still Wes: us in •' copious show'rs ;"
The patronage granted to MOSES and SON,
" Pours down in rich stt eams" as it ever has done.
It descends in " full torrents"' be} and what they thought,
And, in truth, there is not the least fear of a " drought."
To merit such plentiful favours as these,
E. MOSES and SON will do still more to please.
The public the..'ii serve, to their utmost endeavour,
And the costumes they form shall he choicer than ever
Like the earth which receives the rich boon from the sky,
We'll render the public a tenfold supply.
And the more we are favour'd the more will be done,
In the way of return by E. MOSES and SON.

pense or forfeiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the premium paid,

The more than usual success which has attended this Company has
arisen—

From the combination of advantages formerly obtainable partly
from proprietary and partly from mutual societies, thereby affording
to the assured bonuses, reduction of future premiums, and complete
freedom from responsibility.
From the indisputability of the policies, leave to travel beyond
Europe, the option of payment of one-half of the premiums for the
first seven years, and immediate settlement of claims.

DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG TILE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most
perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCOME being UPWARDS of 60,0001.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
ose-;calf of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per
imam, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Partieipating Class
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1634, to December 31,
1840, is follows :
-

SUM Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added

only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.

The attention of the unassured portion of the community cannot
be too pointedly drawn to the unusual advantages offered to the
Public by this Society over those of many others, as it enables all
classes to effect life assurances in the manner most convenient to
themselves, and amongst ether of its popular features, that of allow-
ing the assured (by Table 2) to leave half the Annual Premiums un-
paid for seven years, will not he found undeserving public attention.
Immediate and deferred Annuities, and every description of Life
Assurance business undertaken by this Society.
ProspectuSes, and all other requisite information, will be furnished
on application to the Secretary, or the Country Agents of the Society.

The DIRECTORS hereby give notice to Members 'whose Pre.
miums fall due on the sth of 'lily next, that the same must be paid
within thirty days from that date.
Tne premiums are payable yearly. half-yearly, or quarterly, on thr
sth of January, sth of April. sth of July, and sth of October, either
of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to
Members. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, as
Members, on the sth of July next, should appear, or lodge their
proposals at the Office, on or before that day.
So various are the plans now befoce the public for effecting As.
aurance on Lite, that it may seem difficult to make choice between
them. As, of
however, all prudent oces make a considerably higher
charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown
to he necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or
profit, the following classification may bts made:-
Ist. Proprietary Offices, whe -e all the surplus from premiums and
other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stock.
holders.
Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be.
tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured.
3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whol of the
profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only.
The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any
time ben employed, nor any expensive system of advertising re-
sorted to, yet its advantages have bcen so well appreciated by the
public, that the annual premiums already exceed £49,000.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the
Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been
reduced FO Y-TWO AND A HALF per Cent.
A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on
application at the office.

COURT OF SESSION.
EDINBURGH, JUNE 11.
IMPORTANT DECISION RELATIVE TO THE
POOR LAW.
JANET HALLIDAY AND MARY HALLIDAY, RESIDING AT
BARNHILLICE, U. THE lIERITORS AND KIRK-SESSION
OF THE PARISH OF BALMACLELLAN, KIRCUDBRIGHT-
SHIRE.

This was a case brought by two aged women, residing
in the parish of Balmaclellan, against the heritors and
kirk-session, for an increased allowance from the funds
set apart for the maintenance of the poor. The facts of
the case are as follow:—The paupers, who are sisters,
and are both between eighty and ninety years of age,
have been resident in the parish of Balmaclellan for at
least the last twenty years of their lives. Till the year
1840—when they had each passed the ordinary term of.
human existence—no application was made by them for
relief from the parish funds; but in that year, owing to
their great age and infirmities, they were very re •
luctantly obliged to make application to the parish
for an allowance of aliment for their support. On view-
ing their case, the heritors and kirk-session agreed to
allow them 21. each per annum, being less than three
halfpence a-day to each. This being totally inadequate,
they again petitioned that body, who, upon the 20th of
June, 1843, increased their allowance to 31. a-year, or
Is. 11d. per week. In addition to this, the parish paid
2/ per annum for a small and almost uninhabitable hut,
in which the paupers reside, and also provided them with
a partial supply of Fats. Nothing was allowed for
clothes, which, with all other necessaries, they were
left to provide as they best could out of their weekly al-
lowance of thirteenpence-halfpenny. Viewing this as
t tally insufficient for that needful sustentation to which
they were entitled by the statutes providing for the support
of the poor, particularly 1579, cap. 75, the paupers again
applied to the heritors and kirk-session for an augmenta-
tion 'of their aliment. On this petition the following
interlocutor was pronounced : —" Balmaclellan Kirk,
4th September, 1843. The meeting took into considera-
tion the within petition, and, on examination, find it
inaccurate in several particulars, as, in the course of last
year, up to this date, Janet and Mary Halliday have re-
ceived 81. 13s. from the parish ; and further, that as the
said aged women keep in their house a nephew, for whom,
on the lowest estimate, they receive, or are entitled to re-
ceive, 21. 12s. per annum, or Is. per week ; while there-
fore the session will deem it their duty, in case of emer-
gency or great distress, to grant, from time to time,
additional relief, they refuse to place them on the per-
manentroll for a larger sum than at present." Knowing
these statements to be quite erroneous, the paupers
brought the deliverance under review of the Court of
Session by advocation ; pleading-Ist. That, in the
circumstances of their case, they were entitled to be
provided with "needful sustentation," including clothes
and lodging, at the expense of the heritors and kirk-session.
2d. That th e j udgment complained of ought to be advocated
and the advocators found entitled to such sum as should
be sufficient for the purpose of their aliment and cloth-
ing, and also to the use of a habitable dwelling-house,
in place of their present miserable hut. 3d. That their
nephew not being able, and though he were so, not being
under any legal obligation, to support the advocators,
he must be left out of view; and 4th. That the respon-
dents were not entitled to evade the statute (which en-
joins a fixed and definite allowance) by pleading that
they might give " occasional aid," and that such " occa-
sional aid " must also be left out of view.
These pleas were met by the following on the part of
the heritors and kirk-session :-Ist. That though, " after
the decision in the case of Ceres, they raised no question
as to the competency or power of the Court to review
their deliverance, yet they submitted that no grounds
were stated which were either relevant or sufficient to
warrant any interference with their deliverance in the
matter. 2d. That the permanent allowance made to
the advocators was adequate and sufficient for their sus-
tentation, and that it was open for them to apply for any
occasional :aid as disease, or other emergent causes,
might require ; and, 3d. That the advocation should be
dismissed."
After hearing parties, Vac Lord Ordinary (Murray)
pronounced the following interlocutor and note :
" 20th March, 1844.—The Lord Ordinary having
heard parties' procurator, and thereafter considered the
cause, in respect it is inexpedient to interfere with the
allowances allocated to paupers by kirk-sessions except
in extreme cases, and that no sufficient allegations have
been made for such interference in the present instance,
repels the reasons of advocation, remits the case
simpliciter to the kirk-session ; finds no expenses due on
either side, and decerns.
(Signed) " JOHN A. MURRAY."
" Note.—The Lord Ordinary considered this case
very attentively, holding it as a settled point, that it was
competent for the Court to give initructions to the kirk-
session if that appeared necessary. His impression was,
however, that the funds were, in the present instance,
administered with care and discrimination. No allega-
tion was made against the bone fide of the kirk-session.
The Lord Ordinary, therefore, felt that he could not in-
terfere without a great hazard of doing mischief, and he
relied on the statement made on the part of the kirk-
session, that they would regard the increasing infirmi-
ties of these old persons, and give them such further al-
sswance as might be required.

(Initd.) "J. A. M."
Against this interlocutor the advocators reclaimed to
he First Division of the Court, and when the case came
to be advised before their Lordships, on the 11th inst.,
Professor More was heard oa behalf of the advocators,
and Mr. Robert Whigham for the heritors and Kirk-
session.
The LORD JUSTICE-GENERAL thought the allowance
not sufficient for the " needful sustentation" of the ad-
vocators. He felt the delicacy of judging in such cases
as: the present. He knew the Court had not the same
means of judging of the circumstances of the paupers as
the heritors and kirk-session, who were on the spot had,
and, he was glad to find that the Commissioners lately
eraployed by Parliament to report as to the Scot-
tish'Poor-laws had recommended that the Court of Ses-
sion should have no power to review the decisions of he-
ritors and kirk-session. Still he found it his duty, bo-th
as a judge and a heritor, to say that the whole allow.
ance made to these two old women was totally inade-
quate for their needful sustentation, and he was of opi-
nion that they should remit to the heritors and kirk-
session to increase the allowance.
Lord MACKENZIE concurred. He said it was impos-
sible to believe twopence a-day to be " needful susten-
tation."
Lord FULLERTON was of the same opinion. It was
clear that " needful sustentation" was not given. But
the difficulty was to fix what was needful—and he con-
curred in the proposal to order an increase, and remit to
the heritors and kirk-session to make it.

Lord JEFFREY entirely concurred. He lamented the
evil of being called on to relieve such eases as the present,
and was sorry for the dissipation of the funds intended
fur the poor in such litigations as the present. He could
not go along with the Lord Ordinary, by calling two-
pence a-day sufficient sustentation. He did not be-
lieve that the advocators could live on such a sum, and
was sure they must be assisted otherwise by kind or
benevolent persons. If they had had nothing but the
mere allowance of the parish to subsist on, he was sure
they must heve been starved before this time. It was im-
possible for the Court to look at any casual allowances
from other persons. The old paupers could not have long
now to live, and it was not right in the parish to stint
them in the manner they did of the sustentation
they, of all paupers, so much required. It was
said that it was a great evil to raise the allow-
ances of the poor, or for the Court to judge in such cases,
but he was sure, on comparing this evil with the bad
effects of reducing the allowances to the lowest possible
sum, that the interposition of the Court to prevent
starvation was the minor evil of the two. The crimes
and other bad effects that must result from refusing to
afford the relief to the poor which the law had appointed
are evils of no small magnitude, and which ought to be
prevented by a fair administration of the existing poor-
laws of Scotland. _ _ _

Their Lordships unanimously pronounced the follow •
ing judgment:—
" Edinburgh, 11th June, 1844.—The Lords having
considered the reclaiming note for Janet and Mary Hal-
liday, advocators, and having heard the Counsel -for the
parties, find that the present allowance to the advoca-
tors does not afford the needful sustentation to which
they are entitled. Therefore, real the interlocutor of
the Lord Ordinary reclaimed against, and remit to the
respondents, the heritors and kirk-session of Balmaclel-
lan, to reconsider their deliverance, dated 4th Septem-
ber, 1843, and to award such farther allowance as may,
under the whole circumstances of the case, be deemed
reasonable ; and decern. Find the advocators entitled
to expenses of process so far as hitherto incurred, ap-
point an account thereof to be given in, and remit to the
auditor to tax(tshiegnseadm)e and to report.

ASTONISHING CURE OF A CONFIRMED LIVER
COMPLAINT BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS!—Mrs. Mary Sand-
ford, residing in Leather-lane, Holborn, had been labour-
ing for five years under the effects of a diseased liver,
which produced indigestion, sick head-aches, dimness of
sight, lowness of spirits, irritability of temper, drowsi-
ness, occasional swelling of the body and legs, with
general debility. She attended the hospitals for about
three years, but only got worse, and recovery appeared
hopeless ; but yet, wonderful to relate, she was in two
mouths restored to perfect health by means of the above
extraordinary medicine ! Sold at Professor Holloway's
Establishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be had
gratis), and by almost almost all respectable medicine-
vendors throughout the civilised world.
HERRING TRADER—WICK, JUNE 13.—A few
boats' crews have been in pursuit of herrings hero this
week, but have caught very few. The fishing still pro-
gresses at Lewis, but it is expected to cease soon. It
will, however, be .prosecuted betwixt that island and
Thurso for the next three or four weeks. Already
twenty-one vessels have arrived here laden with her-
rings from the Lewis, and nineteen again loaded and
dispatched to the Baltic markets, carrying with them
6,803 barrels.

THE WATERLOO BANQUET.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo,
the Duke of Wellington gave his customary banquet, at
Apsley house, to a numerous party of the gallant officers
who participated in the glories of that ever•memorable en-
gagement.
Long previous to the usual hour of meeting, the gateways
of his Grace's mansion were literally crowded by persons of
all classes, anxious to obtain a glimpse of the distinguished
veterans who were to assemble at the Noble Duke's hospi-
table board. By seven o'clock some hundreds of individuals
had congregated, including a number of noble equestrians,
and.many of the nobility in their carriages, which rendered
that populous thoroughfare nearly impassable for an hour.
A strong body of the police, under Superintendent Baker,
were, however, so instrumental in preserving order, that not
the slightest accident occurred.
Shortly before seven the carriages began to arrive, and
while the company were gathering, the full band of the Gre-
nadier Guards (the Duke's regiment), stationed in the ves-
tibule, performed a variety of martial music.
The Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Strafford, Lord Saltoun,
&c., on being recognised by the mob without, were warmly
cheered.

It was twenty minutes past seven when his Royal
ness Prince Albert arrived from Buckingham Palace, at
tended by Major-General Sir Edward Bowater (a Waterloo
officer) and Lord George Lennox.
The Duke of Wellington was at the door to welcome his
Royal Highness, as the carriage entered the court-yard, and
on the Prince alighting the Noble and Gallant Duke ad-
vanced
and cordially greeted his illustrious visitor. 11
The Duke then conducted his Royal Highness to the sa-
loon where all the company had met, the band, as the Prince
passed, playing the " Coburg March."
At half-pastseven precisely dinner was announced, when
the Duke with the Prince and the Other guests repaired to
the gallery, where, as usual, a sumptuous repast awaited the
presence of the host and his friends.
It is quite unnecessary to give a lengthened description of
the splendid apartment always appropriated for this annual
entertainment, for, to a large class of our readers, its valu-
able and extensive collection of paintings, by the ancient
masters, particularly of Italy and Spain, is well knOwn, and
the superior and costly nature of its embellishments have
often afforded admiration to onr haute noblesse. _ _

The table presented most of its general features, the cele-
brated and certainly unrivalled Portuguese plateau, with its
elaborate candelabra and figures, being placed along the
centre of the table. At each end of the gallery were side-
boards of gold plate,the assemblagehaving many conspicuous
pieces of massive ornamental plate, presented at different
times to the Noble Duke. The gallery was illuminated by
candelabra, and the only lights for the table were from the
two stupendous porphyry pedestals, richly mounted in ormulu,
sustaining about fifty lamps, which were presented to the
Duke by the Emperor Alexander of Russia. There was a
profusion of the choicest exotics, not only in the gallery, but
in the superb rooms through which the company passed.
The banquet was served up in a service of gold, and the
dessert service used was the magnificent set of Potsdam
china, a gift from the late King of Prussia to his Grace.
The gallery, when all the guests were seated, attired in
their rich and varied uniforms, decorated with the orders and
medals acquired by their gallantry, could not fail to excite
the admiration of the fortunate beholder, as presenting a gor-
geous coup d' ail.
The Duke of Wellington was supported on the right by
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and on the left by his
Excellency Prince Castelcicala. The Marquis of Anglesey
sat on the right of Prince Albert.
The Duke and Prince Albert wore the full uniform of
Field-Marshals in the British army.
It was remarked by all present that the Duke appeared
in the enjoyment of most excellent health and spirits.

regret his absence than he (the Duke) did. His Grace then
gave " The better health of Sir James Kempt," which toast
having been duly honoured,
His Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Duke made a
movement to retire.
It, was after ten o'clock when the Noble Duke and his
Royal Highness Prince Albert adjourned to another room to

ing in the court-yard, the military band performing the
" Coburg March."
All the company bad left by a quarter to eleven, the Duke
himself going afterwards to the Duke and Duchess of Somer-
set's party.

PROSPECTS OF THE GROUSE SEASON.—We learn
that the grousa are in the same critical state with the crops,
being, like them, dependent upon the weather of the next
week or two. The birds are just now chipping the shell,
and are found in hatches from eight to twelve, which,
allowing for casualties in early youth, would likely give an
average number of coveys in the autumn. Everything, how-
ever, depends, so far as regards the lower range of moors,
upon an early fall of rain, for with the continuance of the.
present drought for another fortnight few birds, in such
situations, would survive it. Again, on the higher range of
shooting grounds---viz., at the head of Athol!, Baden h
Lochaber, where the snow is only yet melting, abundance
of of springs are found all the year over for.th
will, to Coyoaullharppear'-
