dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis-

Such are.the properties of this invaluable Specific that per
sons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheu-
Fla tic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of
assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours.
The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
'eases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest .advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.
This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat-

I'ave experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was

OBSERVANCE OF THE LORD'S-DAY--Mr. Raikes, in
his just published Life of Sir Jahleel Brenton, mentions
that when in Paris, in 1833, the King of the French made

an appointment with Sir Jableel to see him on Sunday.
Sir Jahleel returned for answer that it was with great re-
gret that he could not obey the summons of his Majesty,
as that day he regarded as sacred, and always devoted it to
other objects. Louis-Philippe ►eturned for answer that
he appreciated the motive for declining his invitation, and
made an appointment for a week-day.
CAUSE. OF MR. ROEBUCK'S FAILURES AS A SPEAKER.
As he is an intemperate man, liable to be drawn by the
slightest interruption away from his main theme into per-
sonal altercation, he is still more open to the risk of not

being able to preserve that self-possession which is abso-
lutely necessary to an accomplished orator. • An almost
necessary consequence of this reliance on resources which
are not always at command is, that Mr. Roebuck, how-
ever well informed he may be upon a subject, or however
strongly he may feel upon it, is just as likely to break
down as to achieve a success. We have known him to
rise at the most critical and exciting period of a great de-
bate, when he has intruded himself on the attention of
the House, to the displacement of the-heads of either
party, when there was. perhaps, a general feeling that 1•e
was presuming too much thus to stand in the way of a
political manifesto or of a div'sion. But still an indul-

gence had been extended to him bees
position. He has availed himself of th
afforded him to commence a speech

in which he has

perbps,e dashed with a bold and vigorous hand into the
very core of the subject, holding the real question at issue
up, for the first time, to the attention of his audience,
cleared of all the fallacies infused into it by previous
speakers. To ali appearance he is carrying the House
pith him. Repeated cheers hail his terse and well-
pointed propositions, and his presumption is forgotten in
the able exposition he makes of his case. But, suddenly,
he says something which provokes an ironical cheer, or a
sneer, from some opponent. This stings his amour

. .
propre, and off he starts, on the instant, into persopality,
sometimes uttering, without adequate provocation, un-
endurable insults and aspersions on character. From
that moment his speech, so auspiciously commenced, be-
comes a failure. Ills infirmity of temper once touched,

he becomes an altered man

a long, rambling speech, full of feeble repetitions of what
he has so forcibly put, or of offensive personalities, or

,defiance of the growing disapprobation of his
hearers, until, at last, he fairly tires out their patience,

LIVERPOOL--1 am not acquainted with any seaport
more worthy of being denominated a city than Liverpool,
London alone excepted, for the ancient city of Bristol,
the once celebrated " Queen of the West," and the
second city in England, has long since fallen into con-
tempt ' • and though its port is a noble and safe one, still
its inhabitants have so befooled themselves, or allowed
their authorities to do it for them, that their trade has
been driven away, and the enterprising merchant, rather
than be fettered by and mulcted in dock dues and harbour
rates, and a variety of other vexatious and iniquitous
imposts, which the old, oppressive, selfish, and execrable
corporation managed to decree, have patronised Livee-
pool, and made that which was a very few years ago a
mere simple fishing village, the present great, powerful,
and increasing town. No one can visit Liverpool without,
at a glance during au hour's ramble through its busy and
magnificent streets, being fully convinced that British
enterprise is, above all things, that which is most
entitled to wonder and admiration. The skill, the
energy, the wealth, which is there so constantly visi-
ble,—the vast riches that have accumulated and are
accumulating,—the splendid edifices which it contains,
devoted to religion, benevolence, science, commerce,
&c.,—the beautiful gardens, rides, and promenades, for
the enje3 ~t of the living, and the chaste, classic, and
soul-inspirit . ig Fhad es for the repose of the dead,—the
host of. mere :a.it princes which it boasts, and the noble
mansions which they inhabit,—the immense expenditure
that has been devoted to the docks, and the forest of masts
that fill them,—the daily and hourly arrival of ships from
every quarter of the globe, from which articles of neces-
sity, taste, and luxury can be derived,—tbe sailing of ves-
sels to every point of the compass to which the produce of
British skill, labour, and excellence can be wafted,—the
flotilla of steamers that have annihilated space and brought
the whole coasts of Great Britain within its grasp and in-
fluence, and then those quays loaded with their dense and
lofty piles of merchandise, the concentration of the world's
treasures, throwing into the most abject contempt all the
accounts of the greatness of former places,—their com-
mercial character, general intellect, and capabilities, con-
vincing mankind that the thews, sinews, mind, and deter-
mination of Vnglishmen are of more real value than the
safe and positive possession of all the mines of Golcon,!a,
or the riches of ancient Ormus. —Memoirs of Paul Swan-
ston, p. 422.
Tug " EMIGRANTS' LARK."—Two emigrants, a man
and his wife, sailed from the Tower in the year 1834 on
beard a vessel bound for Quebec. A bird-catcher had
promised to give the industrious pair, for a companion in
their exile, a singing lark. The emigrants, however, had
departed. and the bird-catcher had not kept his word.
But the latter arrived with the gift at the Tower, a few
hours after the ship had sailed, and he made his way as
fast as possible to Gravesend. He overtook the ship,
banded the bird from the gangway, shook hands with his
friends, who christened the lark " Charley," for the
donor's sake, In the gulf of St. Lawrence the vessel
was wrecked, and all the property on board lost except
" Charley," with whom—but with nothing in the world
besides—the emigrants landed in Canada. They settled
in Toronto, where the man, by name Patterson, gained a
subsistence as a journeyman shoemaker. Outside the
window of his small house a lark's cage was daily
hung, and from its wiry front there issued notes
that did much honour to the little throat that poured
them forth. Passengers stopped, spell-bound, to listen
to the English warbler; all men waited to listen, from the
loyal governor to the most irreclaimable reformer. Three
times was Patterson offered 100 dollars for the melodist,
three times did he refuse the bribe. An old farmer offered
100 acres of land for him. A poor Sussex carter offered
all he possessed in the world—his horse and cart. Patter-
son was immovable. He would not sell Charley. One
morning. three years after he had quitted England, the
owner of the bird was accidentally shot dead. The widow
was ruined. She sold the pretty singer, and the governor.
Francis Head, became the purchaser. Three months did
Charley hang in the conservatory of government-house,
but not once did he open his mouth there. Either he
mourned his master, or he was unhappy away from the
smell of cobbler's wax. Leaving Canada, the governor
presented the bird to Daniel Orris, a faithful loyal man,
whose station in life was about equal to that of poor Patter-

being oo-

son. Lo!—a wonder I—suspended again outside a humble
dwelling, the bird began to sing as exquisitely as ever.
THE BANKS OF THE GANGES.—Doubtless most of our
readers have heard of the practice which obtains with
natives of Bengal in the disposal of their dead. The
custom among them is to carry the corpses of their de-
ceased to the banks of the Ganges, where they are depo-
sited with all due ceremony. On the rise of the river
these are carried away by its waters, and hundreds of
dead bodies may be seen at a time floating on its surface,
and which are carried down by the stream into the sea.
The sight is said to be disgusting in the extreme; some
of the putrified carcases frequently resting against the
cables of the vessels anchored in the river. Did the in-
habitants confine themselves to the deposition of none
hut dead bodies on the banks, there would not be so much
cause for complaint; but it has often been found that
persons supposed to be at the point of death have been
thus dealt with, and that in consequence many have died
who would, had they been properly cared for, have re-
covered. Many have been taken from the river ; but it
would have been better far for them bad they died, for
they were turned out of caste, and refused admittance
into their own homes, it being reckoned a sign of the
displeasure of the deity of the river that they bad not
died and been ingulphed in its stream ! Another method
in practice of disposing of their dead bodies is by incre-
rnation. Hitherto the inhabitants of Calcutta have been
permitted to burn their dead all along the banks of the
river. People at the point of death are brought to the
river, and there left till they die, when they are burnt,
and their ashes thrown into the stream by their friends if
able to afford it, or if not, they are allowed to lie on the
bank till carried away by the tide. In order to put a stop
to such a murderous system, the Government have or-
dered that the inhabitants shall dispose of their dead at
either of five " Ghats" set apart for the purpose, where
their proceedings may be watched by the police. We
copy the following remarks on the subject from the
Calcutta Christian Advocate of the 19th ultimo :—" We
have often referred to the subject of Ghat murders, and
to the, propriety and importance of their suppression.
Little,, if any thing, has, we believe, been attempted by
the authorities. The difficulties arising out of religious
prejudice, and the extent of country over which the
practiCe prevails, together with the difficulty of obtaining
evidence on which the murderers could be convicted,
have presented an almost insuperable barrier to the com-
mencement of reform in this department ; we therefore
bail any, even the remotest effort, tending to check a
practice so fraught with mischief to the people. Our con-
temporaries state that the authorities have determined
that for Calcutta only five Ghats shall be used for burning
the dead of the city. This may bring the evil within the
grasp pf the police, and, if they be on the alert, enable
them to check the practice. The many Ghats and other
laces at which the funeral rites of the Hindus was per-
.P - --4rlahle obstacle

formed, was one of the most formio.u..,
way of the suppression of Gbat murders. This, to some
extent, and as far as Calcutta is concerned, has now been
remedied. This order should be extended all along the
banks of the Ganges, places should be, set apart by th
government, to which the dyinv, must be brought
proper officers appointed to watch the move-
death parties. This would at least be a check upon crime
and where such a sacrifice of life is concerned, surely the
funds and officers of justice could not be more humanely
or legitimately omployed,".-13combay Times.
