SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE DUE OB-
SERVANCE OF THE LORD'S DAY.
AT a SPECIAL MEETING of the COMMITTEE,
held on FRIDAY, the 2d day of November, 1849, the fol.
lowing REtOLUTIONS were adopted in reference to the Dese-
cration of the Lord's Day throughout the whole of the Post
Oflice departments

1. Thai this Committee regards with deep regret the Order
which has been carried into effect in the General Post Office,
which requires the transmission of Country and Foreign letters
through London on the Lord's Day, because such Order is an
additional breach of the Divine command in the Post Office
department, affecting that branch of it, namely, the London
Post Office, in which it has been hitherto observed; for the
labour done therein previously to the execution of the Order
was professed to be, and was generally regarded, as labour oc-
casioned by State necessity.

2. That whilst the Committee lament this proceeding on the
part of the Government, they would express their devout
thankfulness to Almighty God for the almost unanimous feel-
ing the Order has elicited in the Metropolis and in the Country,
in faVour of an entire cessation of all Post Office business
throughout the Kingdom on the Lord's Dav, as manifested
at the Public Meetings held in London and the Provincial
Towns, and by the numerous Memorials addressed to the
authorities.

3. That the Committee, having been for many years urging
on the Government the entire suspension of all Post Office
business throughout the country in the four-and-twenty hours
of the Lord's Day, without abandoning the hope of inducing
the Government to comply, are now considering the expedi-
ency, in case they persist in their refusal, of originating Public
Meetings throughout the Country, for the purpose of adopting
Petitions to Parliament, in favour of such entire suspension ;
encouraged to do so, with prospects of success, under the Di-
vine blessing, in consequence of the almost universal manifes-
tation of feeling in its favour, referred to in the preceding re-
solution.

4. That the details of the course which the Committee will
recommend to be pursued will be shortly communicated to
their correspondents and the country generally.
5. That the Committee will gladly receive communications
from parties desirous of promoting the object they have in
view, and request that all letters be addressed to the Secreta-
ries, at the Office of the Society, 14, Chatham-place, Black-
friars.

FORCE OF CONSCIENCE.—On ',Wednesday Messrs.
Harvey, of 'Regent-street, jewellers, received a leiter,
bearing the 'Newcastle post-mark, .containing a pearl
brooch and part -of a pair of pearl ear-rings, the tops
being retained, and large pearls removed, with the follow-
ing laconic remark,—" Stolen from -you nearly twenty
years

At aineeting • of the Corporation of 'Durham, held on
Thursday last, it was agreed that application should be
made to Parliament in the next session, for powers to
construct a new' butcher-market, and for the aqolition of
the corn tolls.

Fits E !KIRK DISCIPLINE.—The Aliening'. Journal in-
forms us that, owSunday week, two repentant sinners, a
man and a woman, stood in sackcloth, on.the catty stool
in the Free• Church, Lybster.

AN Qx.n •OFFBNDER.—At the Edinburgh Iligh •Court
of Justiciary on Tuesday, Mary Donochue, .or Murphy,
pleaded guilty to the charge of theft, and havingteen nine
times previously convicted, she was sentenced to seven
years' transportation.
HOLLOW V'S PILLS.—EXTRAORDINARYCURE QF ASTHMA.
—Jeremiah Casey, residing at No. 1, Compton-place, Bruns-
wick-square, had suffered from a chronic asthma for more than
three years. This .poor nun was so great a sufferer, that be
did not dare go to bed for fear of the phlegm choking him ;
indeed, he cockl not even lay his head upon a table for half-an-
hour, lest he should be•suffocated. Nevertheless, this person
is now labouring from morning to night, sleeps as well as mer
he did in his life, and, in,fact, is completely cured by the use
of Holloway's Pilis and Ointment.

H-EC VINCULA. FEREMViii ?—To classify under one head
disorders the mast incongruous and even opposite—to
disturb the timid and the•nervous by false alarms—to lull
the really afflicted with false hopes—and to deceive all by
promises the most extravagant and absurd—as it is the
chief characteristic of the medical adventurer of the pre-
sent day, so it forms one of tee most painful subjects of
contemplation that can present itself to the eye of those
wha scan over the advertisements which crowd the columns
of the newspapers of our time.. Among the many medi-
cines obtruding themselves upon our attention, it is some
relief, however, to find one at least which (while its pro-
prietor avoids those gross ineonsistencies that, with but
very few exceptions, disfigure all others) is sanctioned and
employed by the most distinguished practitioners, as well
as the moist eminent and enlightened individuals of the
age, who have honoured with their favour and confidence
the COMPOUND ANTIBILIOLTS PILLS of Mr. COCKLE, the
gentleman above alluded to.
HALER'S PORTABLE GALVANIC APPARATUS.—(From
the Wesleyan.)—That Mr. Halse stands high as a medi-
cal galvanist, and that he is generally considered as the
head of his profession, are facts which we have long
known ; but we did not know until very recently that he
had brought the galvanic apparatus to such a high state
of perfection, that an invalid may galvanize himself with
the most perfect safety. We happen to know something
of galvanism ourselves, and we can truly say that his
apparatus is far superior to anything of the kind we ever
beheld. To those of our invalid friends, therefore, who
may feel desirous of testing the remedial powers of gal-
vanism, we say, ,applY at once to the fountain head. To
secure beneficial results, it is necessary, as we can from
experience assert, to be galvanized by an apparatus con-
structed on the best principles; for, although the sensa,
tion experienced from the smallest machines of the com-
mon construction during the operation is very similar to
that experienced by Mr. Halse's machines, vet the effects
afterwards produced are vastly different, the one producing
a feeling of exhaustion, and the other a feeling of renewed
vigour. Mr. Halse particularly recommends galvanism
for the restoration of muscular power in any part of the
j,ody which maybe deficient of it.
