INSECURITY OF CAST-IRON SAFES.
THE attention of those Persons who are accustomed to
place confidence in the SECURITY of CAST-IRON
SAFES, of the ordinary construction, is requested to the
following notice :—An instrument has lately hien used in
committing robberies, by which any iron-saftotthe common
kind may be forced open, without noise, irOiss than fifteen
minutes. One of these instruments which has the power of
lifting three tons weight, which pressure is applied to the
key-hole, having lately been taken from some burglars in
London, was presented to Mr. Chubb, by the Commissioners
of the Metropolitan Police. An ttempt was lately made to
open a safe in this manner at Messrs. C. Price and Co.'s,
Blackfriars, London ; but, the door being secured by one of
Chubb's New Patent Locks, this formidable instrument was
quite ineffectual. C. CHUBB, Jun., will be glad to show to
any gentleman the IMPROVEMENTS in their NEW PA-
TENT LOCKS, which give perfect security from this or
any other attempt to open them. Safes, already in use, may
be altered and adapted for the New Patent Locks.
Patent Fire-proof Safes, Deed and Cash Boxes.
NOTICE.—C. C. jun. begs to CAUTION the Public
p.gainst some very bad imitations of his Father's Patent Fire-
Proof Safes, now offered for Sale in this town.

. DR. W. tVANB' AMERICAN HERB PILLS.
HE very rapid sale of this inlMblable Medicine, since
.I. its recent introduction here, more than realises the most
sanguine anticipations of its Proprietor. No better proof of
the great virtues of the American Herb Pills could be given,
than this ready appreciation on the part of the afflicted.—
Never since Medicine became a science was ere a happier
discovery than that of the composition f this invaluable
Remedy.
Dn. W. EVANS having proved, by t most thoroughly
extended individual and collective experience, that these Pills
are firmly based on the immutable laws of Nature, deems it
an imperative duty to bring them before the Public.
The great principles on which this Medicine is established,
are to supersede the indiscriminate use of the Lancet, and of
those violent and dangerous minerals which have caused such
great mortality, and to prevent the frequent recourse to the
many deleterious purgatives compounded and put forth by
ignorant pretenders.
THE AMERICAN HERB PILLS, having stood the test of
the most thoroughly extended experience, are confidently re-
commended as decidedly superior to any combination of
Medicine ever offered to the Public.

These Pills are a mild Aperient, perfectly safe, certain, and
pleasant in their operation, and being wholly composed of
HERBS that harmonise admirably with the human constitu-
tion, they are perfectly salutary under any circumstances.
In all cases in which functional derangements of the Liver,
the Stomach and Bowels are involved, and also in all Impu-
rities of the Blood, this Medicine possesses curative powers
of surpassing efficacy ; Costiveness, Dyspepsia and Bilious
Complairits, so frequently aggravated by other Medicines,
are easily cured by a judicious administration of this. A
proper perseverance in the use of these invaluable Pills will
effectually relieve the distressed victims of Gout and Rheu-
matism, break up the tendency to a recurrence of the malady
and establish the health of the patient. These Pills are also
highly efficacious in all cases of Lowness of Spirits, Nervous
Irritability and Weakness, Loss of Appetite, Flatulency,
Heartburn, General Debility, Hysteria, Head-ache, Asthma,
and Spasmodic Affections.
One of the most dangerous epochs to Females is at the
change of life ; they then require a remedy that will invigo-
rate and equalise the circulation, so that they may withstand
the shock. That Medicine is Dr. Evans' American Herb
Pills. Those who have the care and education of Females
should never be without them. The HERBS of which they
are composed exert a specific action upon the Heart and
arterial system, quickening and equalising the circulation
through all the vessels, whether of the skin, the parts situated
internally, or the extremities : and as the secretions of the
body are drawn from the blood, there is a consequent in-
crease of every secretion and a quickened action of the ab-
sorbent and exhalent or discharging vessels. Any morbid
action that may have taken place is corrected, and all obstruc-
tions removed, the blood is purified, and the body resumes a
healthful state. Perseverance in the use of these Pills will
undoubtedly effect a cure in all cases that have been found
discouragingly obstinate.
The great number of persons afflicted with Dyspepsia,
Liver or Bilious Complaints, are to be found among care-
worn speculators, stock-brokers, and ardent students • or
among those whose nervous system has, by injudicious edu-
cation, been too greatly developed and rendered morbidly
excitable! There can be no doubt that sedentary habits con-
cur with mental excitement in producing these complaints.
Lowness of spirits is a certain state of mind, accompanied
by indigestion, wherein the greatest evils are apprehended
upon the slightest grounds, and the worst consequences
imagined. Ancient medical writers supposed this disease to
be confined to those particular regionA of the abdomen, tech-
nically called hypochondria, which are situated on the right
or left side of that cavity, whence comes the name hypochon-
driasis.
The common corporeal symptoms are, flatulency; in the
stomach or bowels, acrid eructations, costiveness, spasmodic
pains, giddiness, dimness of sight, palpitations. and often
an utter inability of fixing the attention upon any subject of
importance, qr engaging in any thing that demands vigour
or courage. Also languidness—the mind becames irritable,
thoughtful, desponding, melancholy, and dejected, accom-
panied with a total derangement of the nervous system. The
mental feelings and peculiar train of ideas that haunt the
imagination and overwhelm the judgment, exhibit an infinite
diversity. The wisest and best of men are as open to this
affliction as the weakest.
An habitual moderate use of the American Herb Pills, in
conjunction with moderate exercise and relaxation, will ef-
fectually accomplish a cure. The virtues of these Pills are
peculiarly such that they may be taken without occasioning
sickness, nausea, or any of those disagreeable sensations at-
tending the operation of other medicines.

FEMALE EDUCATION.—GirIs should be educated at home
with a constant recollection that their brothers, and the fu
ture companions of their lives, are at the same time at school
making certain acquisitions, indeed, dipping into the Greek
drama, and the like, but receiving a very partial training of
the mind in the best sense ; or, perhaps only such a training
as chance may direct ; and that they will return to their
homes, wanting in genuine sentiment, and in the refinements
of the heart. Girls well taught at home, may tacitly compel
their brothers to feel, if not to confess, when they return
from school, that, although they may have gone some way
behond their sisters in mere scholarship, or in mathematical
proficiency, they are actually inferior to them in variety of
information, in correctness of taste. and in general maturity
of understanding, as well as in propriety of conduct, in self-
government, in steadiness and elevation of principle, and in
force and depth of feeling. With young men of ingenuous
tempers, this consciousness of :their sisters' superiority in
points which every day they will be more willing to deem
important, may be turned to the best account under a discreet
parental guidance, and may become the means of the most
beneficial reaction in their moral sentiments. ^ * *
Whatever certainty parents may have of securing future com-
petence, or even affluence for their children, there can be no
doubt—at least 1 have none—of the desirableness,' in regard
as well to physical health as to the moral sentiments, and
even the finest intellectual tastes, of a practical concernment
with domestic duties. A substantial female industry, and a
manual acquaintance with the routine of family comfort, gives
solidity to the muscular system, and solidity also to the judg-
ment ;—it dispels romantic and morbid sensitiveness, inspires
personal independence, dismisses a thousand artificial solici-
tudes, breaks through sickly selfishness, and in a word, gives
' a tranquil consistency to the mind, on the basis of which all
the virtues and graces of the female character may securely
rest.—Horne Education, by Isaac Taylor.
WILSON'S PETREL.—A long voyage would always be to
me a continued scene of suffering, were I restrained from
gazing on the vast expanse of waters, on the ever-pleasing
inhabitants of the air, that now and then appear in the ship's
wake. Ever flapping its winglets, I have marked that little
bird, dusky all over save a single spot, the whiteness of
which contrasts with the dark hue of its waters, and the
deep tone of the clear sky. Full of life and joy, it moves to
and fro, advances towards the ship, then shoots far away,
gambols over the swelling waves, dives into their hollows,
and twitters with delight as it perceives an object that will
alleviate its hunger. Never fatigued, the tiny petrels seldom
alight, although at times their frail legs and feet seem to
touch the crest of the foaming wave. I love to give every
creature all the pleasure I can confer on it, and towards the
little things I cast over the stern such objects as I know they
will most prize. Social creatures ! would that all were as in-
nocent as you ! There are no jealousies, no bickerings among
you ; the first that comes is first served ; it is all the result
of chance, and thus you pass your lives. But the cloud ga-
thers, the gale approaches. and our gallant bark is trimmed.
Darkness spreads over the heavens, and the dark waters send
back a blacker gloom, broken at intervals by the glimmer of
the spray. You meet the blast, and your little wings bear
you up against it for a while ; but you cannot encounter the
force of the tempest ; and now you have all come close be-
neath me, where you glide over the curling eddies caused by
the motion of the rudder. You shall have all possible atten-
tion paid you, and I shall crawl to the caboose, in search of
food to support your tiny frames in the hour of need. But
at length night closes around, and I bid you farewell. When.
morning comes, the dinky wanderers are again seen around.
us ; the rudder fish, yesterday so lively, has ended its career,
so violently was it beaten by the waves against the vessel, and
now the petrels gather around it as it floats on the surface.
Various other matters they find, here a small crab, there the
fragment of a sea-plant. Now over the deep they range, and.
now with little steps run on the waters. Few are their notes,
but great their pleasure at this moment. It is needless fck
me to feed them now, and therefore I will return to my taa.
The notes here alluded to have the sounds of kee-re-kee.k.i.e;
but some species have a slightly different cry.—Audubon.
