VAN BUTCHELL ON FISTULA, &c.
The Sixth Edition, enlarged,
Just published, in Svo., cloth boards, price 7s. 6d.
FACTS and OBSERVATIONS relative to a
Successful Mode of TREATING PILES, Fistula,
Hemorrhoidal Excrescences, Tumours, and Strictures, WITH-
OUT CUTTING or CONFINEMENT ; illustrated with
numerous Cases. Being a familiar Exposition of the Practice
of S. J. VAN BUTCHELL, Surgeon-Accoucheur.
" This volume presents to us a number of illustrations of his
singular success under circumstances that would have induced
despair in any professor of less mastery, or less accustomed to
accomplish cures where cures writ impossible. The statements
here made are most convincing, and place beyond doubt the
superiority of the treatment to which he refers."—Court Journal.
" It is very rarely our practice to advert to books on proles•
sional subjects; but the Facts and Observations' appear, by
their practical and unpretending character, to indicate so easy
and prompt a relief from a large class of most painful and dis-
tressing diseases, that we believe this word of commendation
from us, which we give with much sincerity, will not be thought
misplaced or without its use."—Examiner.
" The author appears to have had long experience, extensive
practice, and great success, in the treatment of hemorrhoidal
affections, the result of which is here published in a brief form,
and in language intelligible to the least scientific reader.".—
Morning Advertiser.
From a perusal of this work it will be at once seen that the
author displays a knowledge adequate to the task he has un-
dertakee. Mr. Van Mitchell altogether discards the use of the
knife, and, judging from the cases recorded,
success has almost
universally acerued from the plan substituted."—Weekly
Chronicle.

THE TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
8, LUDGATE-HILL, LONDON.
THE "GLORIOUS NEWS" from the East is
everywhere hailed with delight and gratitude. In con-
sequence of the highly important announcement of " Peace
with China," we take the earliest opportunity of making known
to the Public, that we have commenced selling
all descriptions
of TEA mueh cheaper.

There is no longer any necessity for the public paying ex-
travagant prices, in order to secure good Teas. The mono-
poly of price, like all other monopolies, is found to be based on
injustice and selfishness. Every day's experience tends to
show that the first cost of the finest Teas in China does not
warrant the extraordinary prices paid in this country. The
business of the importer is becoming better understood, and
large proflts, with the intelligent tradesman, like prejudiced
feelings with the better informed part of the public, are now
generally giving way, and comparison in value made the test of
preference.
The following are lir present Prices ,

THE KING'S PARK.—It will be observed from our
report of the Town Council proceedings, that the
Lord Provost intimated that certain improvements
were about to be commenced in the Fine's Park—
that Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags were to
a
be enclosed, and that ultimately deer park would
probably be formed. We confess, when we heard
of this, we participated in Mr. Macfarlan's
jealousy of the public being excluded ; but on in-
quiry, we have been led to believe that his Lordship
has been labouring under some mistake ; and
that the announcement of any improvements in
the Park must be at least premature. We cannot
learn that any idea of enclosure or of a deer park was
ever entertained in any quarter ; and though certain
plans have been transmitted to the Commissioners of
the Woods and Forests, no decision has
by that body. There is also some yet been given
mistake about the
amount or money at the disposal of the Exchequer.
The whole sum now disposable does not, we under-
stand, amount to more than the fourth of that men-
tioned by his Lordship.—Edinburyk Courant.
THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.---It is stated in quarters
' likely to be well informed, that the official returns of
the revenue to the sth of January, 1843, will exhibit
a fearful deficiency—much larger than
the returns of the preceding quarter, was shown by
MR. BREWSTER IN THE ABBEY PULPIT.—On
Sunday last, the Rev. Mr. Brewster, at the close of
the forenoon service, mounted the pulpit, while it was
yet occupied by the preacher on the occasion, and ad-
dressed the congregation at some length on the condi-
tion of the poor and unemployed. He depicted in
strong terms the sufferings to which these people are
reduced, and in his -usual strain of impassioned elo-
quence called upon those who were influential to stand
forward, and use all their efforts to preserve the lives
of their fellow-men. It was observed that several who
have no great attachment to Mr. Brewster, left the.
churCh when- he began his ackire4.—Giasgow Post

LITERATURE.

THE .NAVAL CLUB. album, London. 1842.
In these volumes, which are from the pen of
a gentleman named Barker, we have a collec-
tion of tales and professional reminiscences which
are supposed to be related from time to time by
a company of retired veterans who hold weekly
meetings m " a house close by the river side,
with a Commodore's bay-window that projects
over the Thames, and looks not much unlike the
new-fashioned round-stern to our lately launched
men-of-war." "As this company," adds the au-
thor, " is composed of naval men, it has assumed
by common consent, the title and style of the
Naval Club." The stories told by the members
of this club, as also their numerous sketches of
character, are exceedingly entertaining, and
many of them wear all the appearance of having •
been founded in fact. In the course of his in-
troduction, the author draws a clever portrait of
asuperannuated old wooden-legged jack-tar, who,
as he tells us, "took life as it came, rough and
smooth, without murmurs and complaints ; if
there was rain there was also sunshine, and one
dried up the other; thus like a bird, he hopped
the twigs or stalked along, and if occasionally his
legs stuck in the mud, he had a stick in each
hand to help him out again."

PHINEAS QUIDDY. 3 "[Toll.
Col7ntrn, London, 1842.

This tale has already been published, from time
to time, in detached portions, in the Net, Moighly
Magazine, where it attracted considerable atten-
tion. It was also noticed monthly, as it ap-
peared, in the usual Magazine Reviews of The
Sun • and we may, therefore, content ourselves
on the present occasion with simply observing
that " Phineas Quiddy" is the production of Mr.
Poole, author of " Paul Pry ;" that it is deci-
dedly his best work of fiction; and that it is
dedicated to Mr. Sergeant Talfourd.
