THE CORDIAL BALM of GILEAD is a gentle
stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life,
and is therefore calculated to afford decided relief to those who
by early indulgence have weakened the powers of their system,
and fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such persons the
appetite is generally defective, and the relish of life almost sub-
dued : they are wanting ie that activity of mind and energy of
conduct which their affairs require, and partly from conscious
weakness, partly from excessive apprehensions, are liable to sink
despondently into a premature grave. It was for these that the
late Doctor Solomon particularly designed his Cordial Balm of
Gilead. The relief which great numbers have experienced from
its renovating efficacy, warrants the strongest recommendation
of a recourse to it to those who are similarly affected.
It is prepared from the Original Receipt, by Trustees ap-
pointed by Will for that purpose ; and is sold by Mr. Johnston,
68, Cori.hill ; Mr. Sanger (late Bacon and Co.), 130, Oxford-
street ; Mr Ward, Holborn ,• Mr. Stradliugi Royal Exchange,

The Wonderful Efficacy of
MR. LIONUM'S ANTIBCORBUTIC DROPS.

Exemplified in the Cure of a Disease of 'Twenty Years' duration.
Nibthwaite, near Ulverston, May 10th, 18W.
SIR—In the year 1799. when about eight years of
age, I was attacked with symptoms of a Scorbutic Eruption,
which alarmed my parents very much, none of the family having
ever before been affected with so baneful a disease. After I bud
been in this state for about eleven years during which time my
stature increased little or none, a neighbour of mine gave me
part of a bottle of your Drops, which _I was advised to take,but
DO visible alteration appearing, I considered them no better than
the other medicines 1 had before taken, consequently perseve-
rance was not adopted, not being acquainted with their real vir-
tues ; but in time I gained some knowledge of their intrinsic
merits, and was resolved to persevere. Hope began to glimmer,
relief was afforded, my stature increased, and at length a perfect
cure was obtained. It Is now two years since I left off taking I
the Medicine, and I have had no return whatever of the com-i
plaint, the marks only remaining as a proof of my sufferings. I i
procured the Medicine from the late Mr. J. Soulby's shop, now
kept by Mr. S. Tyson, King-street, Ulverston, but cannot ex-
actly ascertain how many bottles it took to effect the cure.
I will readily answer inquiries on the subject, either personally
or by letter poet paid, and believe me, Sir,
Your grateful and obedient servant, JOHN SARGENSON.

RESIDENCE and CAPITAL LAND, within NINETEEN
RILES of LONDON, in a beaudful part of the COUNTY
of ESSER.

- c

Mall, in lat. 4.20. N. though small in extent, ap-
pears to have been selected by the sovereigns of the
MaldiveSfor the seat of government, on account of its
local advantages, being defended by nature on most
s'des,and capable of having its defence much in-Creased
by al t. The island is nearly circular, and about three
miles in circumference, being surrounded naturally
by a reef on all sides except the western, and there an
artificial reef has been thrown up, connecting the ex-
tremities of the great reef, and leaving only two nar-
row entrances through which boats can pass, and
which are shut up by booms whenever danger is ap-
prehended from the people of the Laccadives, the an-
cient foes of the Maldivians. On this surrounding reef
the surf is generally high, and all hostile approach- is
consequently dangerous; but between the reef and the
island the N ater is as smooth as a mill-pond, and ge-
nerally abeiut -a-hundred yards broad. Here are all
the trading vessels and fishing-boats belonging to the
-place, the former amounting to seven, and perform-
Ana voyages at the proper season to Ceylon, the Coast,
Calcutta, and. Chittagong; the fishing-boats amount-
ing, perhaps, to fifty or sixty. The tides'are irregular,
being greatly influenced by the strength of the wind,
but rising generally about seven feet.
The island itself is fortified all round, except on the
eastern side, which is the strongest by nature, and on
the different sidbs and bastions (ten in number) I
counted 100 pieces of artillery, some of them brass
guns, the largest being 12-pounders, and mostly, if
not all, Dutch pieces. They are not, however, well
mounted, or in good order, and the fortifications on
which they stand are also going to decay. The town
extends over the whole island, and is remarkably neat
and clean, the streets being wide, crossing each other
at right angles, and always swept every morning.
The entrance into it from boats is by several small
gates on the western side, where the Sultan also re-
sides in a sort of citadel, having high walls full of
loop-holes, and a wet ditch surrounding it, about 14
feet wide. The Sultan's house, within this place, is
built of stone and two stories high, but has a mean
appearance, which is not diminished by the copper
roof that covers it. The houses of the town, which_
are very numerous, are very commodious, with spa-
cious compounds neatly fenced round. They 'are
built generally of wood and mats, some of them en-
tirely of wood. Two mosques are the buildings most
calculated to attract the eye of a stranger, being of
considerable size, and having a very respectable ap-
pearance. To one of these the Sultan always repairs
on Friday, for the purposes of devotion, when he is in
good health, but while we were there he was mostly
unwell, and scarcely quitted his palace. From this
cause I was also deprived of the opportunity of exa-
mining the citadel, although I had been promised an
introduction to his Majesty, when he found himself
able to receive visitors. All the houses of the town are
provided with wells, containing excellent water, and
several public tanks, puckah built, serve the inhabitants
for their ablutions. Various burying-grounds are to be
perceived, scattered about, in which are many tomb-
stones placed upright, with inscriptions in the lan-
guage peculiar to the natives, in Arabic characters.
The Government appears to be despotic and he-
reditary in the family of the Sultan, who has all the
Members of the Blood Royal living with him in the
citadel, in which also his regular troops are quar-
tered, amounting to 150 men. In the exercise of
the supreme authority, I was uniformly informed
that the rule of the Sultans was rather patriarchal
than despotic, and the conduct of the present Sove-
reign fully answers the description. Those who are
poor are ted and clothed from the Royal bounty, and
crimes appear to be so rare and of such trifling
magnitude, that punishments are never severe.
When an individual is found by his conduct to
disturb the tranquillity, it is reckoned sufficient to
hustle him along the street, and throw sand and
water on him, the disgrace attending which serves
to Check those who are ill-tempered. Where any
one may be particularly violent and refractory, a day
or two in the stocks is considered adequate to recal
him to a proper sense of his duty, and it is said that
this severest punishment does not occur above once
or twice in ten years. Indeed the inhabitants of
Mall, amounting to about 2,000 persons, appear to live
exempted from many of the evils to which societies of
more refinement and less industry are subjected.
The Sultan, called Mahomed Aynock Dawn,
has a Ministry composed of eight Chiefs, styled
Viziers, four of them being of the first or highest
class, and the other four inferior in rank. The
General, or Commander-in-Chief, Mahomed Dhus
Maioa, the Collector of -Revenues, Dania Man-
cafaon, and Ali met Vellane, the Shabbander, were
three of the first class. With the fourth, who was
sick, I was unaCquainted, neither did I learn what
pArticular department was under his charge. The
'tither Viziers are subordinate to these, and act under
By Mr. lIOGGART, their directions as Deputies. The Viziers, as well
