The Southern Coast of the Isle of Man is the immediate
resort of the Herring Fleet, and abounds with great quan-
tities of Fish of various kinds. The produce of the
Herring Fishery, employing upwards of 600 vessels and abdut
5,000 men, amounts annually to nearly £80,000; and the
Freight now paid to sailing vessels for carriage to Liverpool
is upwards of £3,000 a-year. For Farm Produce the South-
ern District is remarkable; and the annual influx of Visitors
into the Island has now become prodigious. The success of
the Company, therefore, cannot reasonably be doubted.
After a careful estimate of the probable expenses and earn-
ings of the vessel, it is calculated that there will be a return
to the Company of about 20 per cent. upon the outlay.
Subscriptions to the amount of Xlo,ooo have already been
obtained, and the Vessel is expected to be on the station by
the Ist of June next.
Persons desirous of taking Shares are requested to apply
immediately to the Secretary. Castletown, Isle of Man, or to
Mr. JOHN SHIMMIN, 136, Islington, Liverpool.

NEVER KNOWN TO FAIL.-BRANDE'S
BRONCHIAL SEDATIVE, equal in Medicinal effect
to Two of any other preparation for Coughs, Colds, Bron-
chitis, Asthma, Pulmonary Phthisis, Influenza, Derangement
of the Voice, and all Affections of the Chest and Lungs.
Compounded under the direction of a Professional Gentleman,
who for many years has made the Anatomy and Pathology of
the Chest and Lungs his particular study.
The Influence of BRANDE'S BRONCHIAL SEDATIVE
pursues the exact tract of the inflammatory action causing
cough. First soothing the glottis and epiglotis (the organs of
voice), its sedative influence gasses along the mucous lining
of the windpipe unto the bronchii, and allaying pulmonary
irritation, giving ease and comfort to the chest—restoring
the voice to its accustomed clearness and power.
Authentic Testimonials selected from an immense number of
others, showing the good already effected by this Medicine.
"Dark-street, Haverfordwest, Feb. 18th, 1849.
"Sir,—Having been recommended be Mr. 0. E. Davies, of
this town, to try Brande's Bronchial Sedative, for a very
severe cough, with which I was troubled for more than six
months, I did so, and after taking only two packets. I was
perfectly recovered. I had been for months that I could not
rest night or day, with difficulty of breathing, and a tickling
sensation in the throat, and the co:igh at times was so severe
that I was nearly suffocated. I can now sleep comfortably,
and am quite free from pain.-1 an, 8:c

" Sir,—l cannot express to you my thanks for the relief I
have found from taking your Cough Wafers. They have done
me a world ~f good. Formerly I was never without a cough,
and tried all sorts of medicines without being able to remove
it; now, thanks to you, it is gone. Your medicine, unlike
any other I have tried, acts as a stimelant to the digestive
organs, and improves the general health.—l am, yours, &c.,
" To Mr. John Willie." " ROBERT SHEPRARD.
"Sir,—Having received great benefit from a parcel of your
invaluable medicine, " Brande's Bronchial Sedative," which
I received about a fortnight ago, I have again to request you
will be pleased to forward me four parcels of the same.—l am,
