PMIR'S LIFE PILLS.—The balsamic and in-
vigorating powers of this fine Herbal Medicine are wonder.
ful ; a trial of a single dose will carry conviction, that they are all
that is necessary to invigorate the feeble, re,tore the invalid to
health, and do good In all cases. The heads of families should
always have them in the house, as they may, with the greatest confi-
dence, be resorted to at any time, or in any case. PARR'S LIFE
PILLS are now, from their many virtues, the established Kla ily
Meedicine.

The following wonderful cures are selected from huLdreds of a
similar nature :
FROM HR. D. CUSSONS, HOANCASTLE.

ORNTLEMEN,-1 he following area few of the cases of cure from
taking Old rarr's wonderful medicine, that have occurred in this
neighbourhood, and being immediately under my own alyervation,
I can vouch for their accuracy, ;nil shall he happy to answer in-
quiries from any persons who may desire further information.
Mrs. Blackburn, of Kirkby Bain, has for a long time been labouring
under great affliction, uhtil her strength was nearly exhausted, but
heating of the extraordinary cures effected by PA RR'S LI FR
PI LLS, she sent to my shop for a box, which gave her great relief;
and atter taking two or three boxes more, to the astonishment of
her elf and neighbours, she was perfectly restormi.
The Rev. Mr. Clementson, of Herncastle, is taking Parr's Life
Pills, and recommending them to all his friends. He says there is
snore real benefit in relieving and assisting the constitution in
.. Old Parr's," than any other medicine he ev r took, and they have
been of Essential benefit to numbers of his friends who have tried
them.
HI had time, and you had room for them, I could enumerate fifty
cases which have come tinder so, observation, quite equal to the
above; but the increased sale of the medicine testifies the,value set
upon it in this neighbourhood.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,

CAUBUL.

Intelligence of a recent date (not ascertained) has been re-
ceived at Jellalabad from Caubul about the Bth of April.
Another revolution was reprrtcd to ha.,•e taken place, and the
rumour will most probably turn out well-founded, though not
as yet authenticated. The Shah Soojah was said to have been
shot in his litter when coming out of the Bala Hissar—a cir-
cumstance this also extremely probable. Our hostages and
prisoners, both here and at Futteabad, were safe and well—
though some of them had of late been less kindly treated than
formerly. It was said the chiefs were anxious to negotiate for
their release; and our conviction is that with Generals Pollock
and Sale, now at Jellalabad, anti likely to fall back for the pre-
sent on Peshawur, very little difficulty will be found in recover-
ing, by threats and pri.mises conjointly, the whole of the cap-
tives. The Shah Soojah has written a long letter to the Go-
vernor-General, endeavouring, it is supposed, to exonerate
himself from the suspicions entertained against him of having
caused the recent insurrection, or connected himself with its
leaders. He lass the blame of our discontents which gave rise
to it on the shoulders of the politicals, and states that if his ad
vice had been listened to by the Envoy the present aspect of
affairs would have been widely different. No further proof
against him has come to light throughout the month. Such
is the whole c f the meagre intelligence we can now gather
from the city so lately the heacf-quatters of our army.
FORCING THE KHYBER PASS.
This defile, one of the most formidable and impenetrable in
Asia as a line of wintery defence, extends from Jumrood up.
wards in the direction of Jellalabad without interval for the
space of twenty-eight miles, throughout twenty-two of which
it hat hitherto been reckoned impassable for an army when the

SCINI)E.

Through the past month Scinde has been everywhere
perfectly undisturbed, the robbed' s in the Bulau Pass
hardly deserving the character of disorders. There is,
deed, scarce a single occurrence of note that has happened
betwixt Dadur and Kurrachee, betwixt tho 15th of March and
26th of April, the period over which our present review ex-
tends. '1 he movements of the troops upwards, under
General England on the Bth, and Major Simmons,
of her Majesty's 41st Regiment, on the 28th of March, and
Major Reid, of the 12th Native Infantry, now on his way,
have already been noticed. The heats are beginning to set in
in Scinde, and betwixt the Ist of May and the Ist of October
the country becomes nearly impassable for troops. had it been
determined to move a force this season through Egypt, with a
view to expedition, in arriving any time within the period
just indicated, they must remain inactive throughout the mon-
soon at Bombay, or the heats at Kurrachee. Cholera prevails
to a sad extent at Kurrachee, her Majesty's 22d having buried
no fewer than 98, not includinc, women and children, betwixt
the 6th of March and the 23Sof April. Of the depot of her
Majesty's 40th twenty-four had died. No officers have as yet
suffered. On the 26th of April there had only occurred one
case among the troops. The Bengal 19th Native Infantry
was daily expected at Sukkur from Ferozepore, to supply the
place of the 12th and other trocys now on their way to Quettah.
The Bombay 17th Native Infantry has gone by steam to Kurra-
chee on the 18th, 19th, and 22d of April.

The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo-
ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as-
sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as-
sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are
taken into consideration.

The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be •
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.

STATE OF THE WORKING POPULATION AT WOL-
VERHAMYTON.—Is is really heart-rending to witness the pitch
of poverty, and want of employment now existing, and ra-
pidly increasing, among the miners. and workmen in iron-
wor,:s of this neighbourhood. The respectable dwelling houses
situated around \Volverhampton are daily haunted by unem-
ployed colliers and other labourers, begging for food. Thee
men come in large groups, looking half-famished, which
succeed each other so frequently, that the total number of men
in this condition must l e immense. Their conduct cannot be
too highly spoken cf. Although strong enough to overawe
4,i; inmates of most of the houses at which they beg, their
demeanor i i+niforrnly civil and humble.—Staffordshire
According to the calii;4l tables of the prices of
Wheat in the French markets for the quarter ending the last
month, it appears that the highest was, during this period,
27f. oc. the hectolitre in the naarlwt of Marseilles, and the

JELLALABAD.

The troubles of the gallant force which has for the space of
five months (since the 12th of November) been shut up in
Jellalabad, arc, Nye trust, by this time at an end. If the success
which attended General Pollock's movements at the commence-
ment, when the most formidable of his difficulties were over-
come, has been continued to him throughout, he must have
joined Sir Robert Sale, with all his force, about the 15th—
the united armies, on his being effected, most probably falling
back on Peshawur. Our last authentic intelligence from this
quart"r is contained in Sir Robert Sale's despatch of the 7th
April, though letters come down to the 9th. The five wek ki

intervening between these t ico periods, have been more fertile
in the events of interest, than any other similar space since the
close of the first month of the blockade. Throughout the
earlier portion of March, the enemy had insulted and annoyed
the garrison by throwing swarms of skirmishers into the ra-
vines and hollows round the walls, and behind the numerous
mud forts in the vicinage, which it had been found impossible
entirely to desroy—and from the cover thus afforded them they
maintained an incessant fire of musquetry on the parapets.
On the 10th the Affghans showed themselves more than usually
audacious and persevering. On the same evening informa-
tion was received that a mine was being driven at the northern
face of the fort; and though General Sale considered that there
was much reason to doubt the accuracy of this, he resolved on
making a sortie to ascertain the fact, and check the boldness of
the enemy. On the morning of the I I th, 300 of her Majesty's
13th, under Col. Dennie, with 300 of the 35th Native In-
fantry. and 200 Sappers and Miners, at daybreak moved ont
from the Peshawur Gate, and swept steadily round the low
ground to the spot where the enemy was said to have broken
ground. The cavalry, under Captain Oldfield, at the same
time appeared upon the plain towards the south, to
distract the attention of the Affghans. The post where
the enemy were expected tp haye been met unexpectedly
proved to have Just before been abandoned; a strong
picket in the neighl.ourhood was gallantly driven in,
and pursued to a considerable distance, by Captain 13roadi ot,

cardial, and the King, after having embraced his father,
gave his hand to the. Countess to conduct her into the
Palace. At breakfast, the King sat between the Count
and Countess. About half•past one, his Majesty set

EX-KING OF HOLLAND.

A letter from Amsterdam, of the 30th of May. contains the
following singular statement :—Our ex-King arrived to-day at
King the Loo. On this occasion the has not thought it pro-
per to let his father come into the country without paying him
his respee:o as a sun. At this moment we suppose their Me.
jesties are together. It has been remarked that the old if,ing
snakes every body fly at his approach, The Kir.g goes to
luxemburgh ; she Queen has hastened to this p4v;;;Ion of soets.
dyk, accompanied by her daughter, Priru•N's Sophia. The
Princess of Orange, at the first notice, hastened to Stutgard to
take refuge at the Court of her father ; the Prince, her hus-
band, speedily followed her. Prince and Princess Frederick,
lust as they did last time, go from Holland to Berlin just at the
moment when the ex-King came from Berlin to Holland.
Prince Henry sets out to-day for Flushing, to embark on board
the Ryn for St. Petersburgh ; lastly, Prince Alexander, it is
said, accompanies his father to Luxemburgh. The ex-King,
therefore, if he comes to the Hague, will absolutely find no-
body. Are all these simultaneous departures owing to mere
accident ? In my opinion this is rather hard to believe.

LINENS.

On the Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned
debate on the second reading of the Property-tax Bill
beinc, read,
Mr.b LABOUCHERE said he wished to ask a question
on a subject which had created the greatest excitement
among the trading classes of this country. It had been re •
ported that the French Government had increased the duty
on linens and linen yarns, the produce of this country.
He wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman if he was
able to make any statement on this subject. He could not
put the question without expressing regret that at the mo-
ment we were pursuing measures for the adoption of a more
liberal course of commercial policy towards other nations,
a step of a nature so hostile to our interests should have
been adopted.
Sir R. PEEL said, in answering the question of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, he might be allowed to state that
within the last three or fourdays her Majesty's Govern-
ment lout received information on the subject,to the effect
that the Minister of France had stated that the
Government of France had power, by an ordonnance,
to raise the duties referred to, and that the
Government of France intended to exercise that power.
He (Sir R. Peel) could only assure the Right Honourable
Gentleman that they had not permitted a post to leave this
country, without making their communications on the sub-
ject to the French Government, which they thought their
duty required of them to make, namely, expressing their
1.02-rot at the intention expressed to raise thOse duties.
With respect to the commercial negotiations now pending be-
tween this country and France, he could not help thinking
that there were interests in' the south of France which would
regret any impediment to the conclusion ot those Commercial
Leuotiations. Government had had comroutacations with
other countries in Europe which produced wine, and ht• '

AGILYCLTIATIM.AL.

In mid-Kent the hop-bines are very flourishing ; at W ater-
ingbury and Nlereworth the hops look well, and grow fast, but
in common with those of Brenchley and Ticehurst are beset
with flies. . . . . .

American cotton-seed has been introduced of late with very
great advantage in India. In Bundlecund, Behar, Allahabad,
and the Cavalier district, the growth of the polo and plants
has been unusually luxuriant. Mexican and Sea Island seeds
have also been tried, but have not succeeded so well.

LAW AND POLICE. _ _ _

The case of MT:Chambers, which has been so long before
the Bankruptcy Court, was again brought on for the purpose
of auditing the accounts. They were of great magnitude, but
the assignees were perfectly satisfied with their correctness.
The audit was adjourned in order that the sale of some pro-
perty might be effected, when a dividend will be declared.
In the Insolvent Debtors' Court the case of John Cann,
eating-house keeper, near Temple-bar, was adjourned till the
28th of June, for a new special balance-sheet. The insolvent
had been four times discharged under the Aet, namely, in
1827,1829,133, and 1839. This of course was his fifth ap-
pearance. He had been a bankrupt, and obtained a certificate.
At Marlborough-street, two lacqueys, named Bachons and
Buckets, were charged with using insulting language and de-
meanour in the inner ball of the Opera, towards ladies and
gentlemen who were obliged to pass through the crowd of per-
sons assembled there. Their conduct being so bad, they were
all expelled by the police except Bachons, who resisted and was
taken into custody, and on his way to the station-house the
other prisoner attempted a rescue. Mr. Maltby committed
Bachons to prison for seven days, and fined his friend 3/.
Upwards of six tons of smuggled tobacco, in bales of about
a hundred weight and a quarter each, landed last Monday night
from a vessel in the limits of the port at Gloucester, were seized
by an Excise. officer on Wednesday, as they were travelling by
the Cirencester train for London.

SUDBURY ELECTION.

Mr. W. WYNN said that the House would remember
that when the Sudbury Bill was introduced, the Hon.
Member who brought it forward read some evidence,
showing the state of the hand-loom weavers. He would
move that the evidence should be reprinted, and laid
before the House; but as the Report of which it formed
part was voluminous, he believed it would be necessary
to move the appointment of a Committee to select those
parts which related to the borough of Sudbury ; he
would accordingly make that motion, and he would at
the same time move that, as had been done in former in-
stances, a copy of the Bill should be sent down to the
returning officer of that borough.
After a few words from Mr. REDINGTON, the
motion was agreed to.

MPLI.E• D'EsroußßlN's D'Es-
pourrin, se well known as a brilliant harpist, gave a morning
concert yesterday at the Hanover-square Rooms. Madame
Caradori Allan executed " Se non son dama,"
and the fioriture
at its close, most spiritedly. Her duet with Signor Guibelei of
Per pincer alla Sign°, a," showed off the capricious pettish
moods of the lover to beautiful effect ; first, her air was tart
sod pertinacious—then sweet and imprecatim—and, ultimately,
is triumphant as if she could trample on her lover. The horn
and harp duct between Mdlle. D'Espourriu and Mr. Jarrett
formed a fine mingling of the two instruments t the quick sharp
notes fell under that lady's fingers like a sprinkle of pearl.
Signor Cava:lini, from the Milan.theatre of La Scala, who also
accompanied her through this duet, exhibited afterward ion
the clarionet, by himself, in a series of .melodies, which were
sometimes copious, as if they had bubbled from a honey-fount.

and were encored. Mr. Benedict presided at the pianoforte,
which wasome of Zeittees• new patent grand. The concert-
room was full, and this fashionable entertainment ;acted from
two o'clock till five.
