AN INFALLIBLE MEPICII4E FOR THE REMOVAL

---
OF ALL INTESTINAL WORMS.
IT has been too fatally obseetect-shat the drastic
.L operation of the usual AnthelMinitics net unoften leaves
the constitution of a Worm-Patient more debilitated and irri.
table than before their exhibition; thus exemplifying the homely
truth, that " the remedy is worse than the disease ;"—but the
cure is seldom effected—and in the list of the " epprobria memo.
runs," diseases arising from worms display an awful predominance.
In early infancy, convulsions, fever, watery-head, and other
fearful maladies are often orly the effects of worms, the re-
moval of which would so mitigate the symptoms as to ensure a
mild treatment of an otherwise doubtful case. To a Mother's
anxiety this assurance will impart no small consolation—and to
the adult patient, whose hopes have been long necked and at
length desolated by delay and disappointment, this prospect of
certain relief will cheer him to the trial of an inestimable remedy.
Mr. CHAIMBIKLAINZ'S Preparations of COW HA GE are mild and
innocuous, have an operation purely mechanical, are sanctioned'
I by the most eminent of the Faculty, and his Treatise on the
subject contains testimonials highly honourable to his practice.
It is publiNhed at 20, Paternoster-row. The Medicine may be
procured at No. 5, Wellington-street, Strand, London; at Mr.
Nlorcom's, Corn-street, Bristol; and Mr.. Binds, Bath; in Pots,
at is. 6d. and 9s each—the latter for the Tape-worm.
Country Patients, by enclosing a Bank-note, will receive the
balance in the parcel containing the Medicine.

MONTREAL, JUNE is.
1110 X THE CANADIAN TAMA
On the morning of the l Bth i ost. three boys, the eldest
about 17 years of age, having been to the mill of
Mr. P. Wright, of Hull, were returning to the
eastern side of the Ottaway in a canoe, containing
about 600 weight of flour. Unfortunately, from
want of knowledge of the danger which they must
incur in crossing so near the Chene Rapids, they did
not go far enough up the river. After having pad-
dled nearly half the width of the river, the canoe was
observed by several on the shore to be irresistibly
drawn by the force of the current towards the vortex
which this tremendous rapid presents. She was going
down by oadside, in which case immediate death
must have been the event. But with presence of mind,
although death seemed to stare them in the face, the
boy at the helm righted her, and headed down the
stream. Scarcely bad he done this, when, with the
velocity of lightning, the canoe dashed among the
terrific breakers. A moment, and she was lost to the
petrified spectators on the banks, who stood in full view
of the scene, with dreadful consciousness that they
could render no assistance to the sufferers. Again the
canoe appeared, and the largest boy was seen to
throw overboard some bags of flour. Instantaneously
they disappeared amongst the waves, and the spec-
tators gave them up as lost. Although the can )e was
forced through a swell, which is said to rise above 20
feet high, yet the boys adhered to the boat, vthich
was upset three times in succession. Messrs. M‘Gilli-
vray and Monier, of Hull, who had been witnesses to
this scene, ran to the lower landing, where by chatsce
they found a canoe, sprang into it, and pulled for the
other side, to save the boys if possible. Another, how-
ever, had rowed towards them from the other side,
and found them clinging around their canoe, which
was upset. The swell.was still so great that those
who came to assist could not reach them. They were,
therefore, obliged to let them float down still further,
before they could take them out of their perilous con-
dition, still keeping within call of them. The largest
boy had, with admirable presence oLmind, as soon as
they emerged from the heaviest part of the swell;
directed the smaller two to approach each other, and
lock their arms across the bottom of the canoe. This
was done, and he placed himself at the stern, and
grasping with his hands the gunwale on both sides,
gave her direction down the stream. They were per-
ceived in this situation by the canoe from the eastern .
side. After they had gone down about a mile, they
were taken off, previous to which, the smaller boys
complained grievously that their bands were cramped.
A fire was kindled on shore; warm clothes procured
for the sufferers, and they, who but a few moments
before seemed to have passed the harri.r between life
and death, were rescued from the dreadful fate which
threatened then].

Execurrons IRELAND.SattIrd2, week, the Un-
fortunate man named Gleeson, who was tried and
found guilty of a murder, in the county of Tipperary,
twelve years ago, was hanged at Clonmel. About
one o'clock the wretched culprit appeared on 'the
platform, :hewing every symptom of penitence, and
never was there a man more sensibly alive to his si-
tuation. Ills countenance was flashed, and exhibited
the contrition of his heart. He was absorbed in
prayer. He addressed the crowd in a few words, hut
in so low a tone as scarcely to be heArd, unless by
those immediately near him. fleconfessed the crime
for which he was about to suffer, and the justness of
his sentence, and stated that the wicked deed arose
from intoxication, and previous grudge. After hang-
ing the usual time, he was cuf down, and his body
sent to the County Infirmary (Cashel) for dissection.
Monday, the 4th inst. Daniel O'Connell, convicted of
the murder of D. Morissy, of Cappanahane, on the
22d of February,lB22, underwent the awful sentence
of the law, by being hanged in ft ont of the county jail
of Limerick. He acknowledged that he was con-
cerned in breaking open Morissy's house, but declared
he did not fire the shot which deprived him of ex-
istence. He appeared to be a well-looking fellow, be-
tween 50 and 60 years of age, and lived for some
time as postillion in respectable families. After hang-
ing the usual time, his body was conveyed to the In-
firmary for dissection. His associates in crime being
convicted for breaking into Morissy's house, via.
Jeremiah Nunan, James O'Connell, and John Dundon,
are to be executed on the 22d inst.

FRaNCH LANGUAGE.—To parody a famoos expres.
sion of MIIIABEAU, it may be said that ‘i the French
language is making the tour of the world." A French
Journal is now printed at Smyrna, under the tide of
The Speciateur Oriental; and another at Odessa two
French Papers appear at Madrid, the one entitled The
Rekulateura and the other The Bou.ssole. England has
its Courier de Londres ; and several French Journals
appear in various parts of Germany and Switzerland.
Such are the accounts of the French themselves of
their language. Let ui compare them with the Eng-
lish, destined perhaps one day to exceed all other
languages in universality :—ln Parisi .one Paper; in
Br ussels; one ; in Canada, several ; in Atherica, be.
tween three and four hundred ; in the different West
India Islands, seven or eight at least ; in New South
Wales, twn and a Magazine; in India, five or six,
and also one or two periodical works ;at the Cape of
Good Hope, and in our other Colonies, one Paper at
least. While 15,000,000 of persons in the. West In-
dies and America, 20,000,000 at home, and half s
million or more in the different Colonies of the East
and in Europe, making a total of 35,500,000 inha-
biting every climate, speak the English tongue from
childhood ; besides all those foreigners whom litera-
ture or trade induce to study it. The increase of the
English language in America,, in the East, and in
New South Wales, will only be limited by a territory
which far exceeds one rarter of the globe, when its
population shall be at a stand.
