"Messrs. MUSGRAVE, BROTH ERS.—GENTLEMEN,—At your request, I beg to state, for the information of the public,
that the only property eared from the late fire, in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co.. was that contained in one of
Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the
flames, I was fully eonsineed of the destruction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great pleasure in testify-
in to this extraordinary instance of their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on the third story, without any
protection,. where it remained till the floor was burnt around it, when it fell to the room beneath, the floor of which was like-
wise destroyed by the fire.—Yours truly, "JAMES S. HUNTER,
"Executor of the late Thomas S. Major, of the Firm of Thomas S. Mkjor and Co.

the opening of the Safe they found quite impracticable.
" We are happy to he enabled to express our unqualified approbation of the Safe ; we believe it is impregnable to thieves.

HEALTH RESTORED! !-HOLLOWAY'S
PILLS.
AN ASTONISHING CURE OF CHRONIC RHEUMATISM,
AFTER BEING DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL INCURA-
BLE.—Copy of a letter from Mr. W. Moon, of the Square,
Winchester To Professor Holloway.—Sir' —I beg to in.
form you that for years I was a sufferer from Chronic
Rheumatism, and was often laid up for weeks together by
its severe and painful attacks. I tried every thing that was
recommended, and was attended by one of the most eminent
Surgeons in this town, but obtained no relief whatever, and
fearing that my health would be entirely broken up, I was
induced to go into our County Hospital, where I had the best
medical treatment the institution afforded, all of which
proved of no avail, and I came out no better than I went in.
I was then advised to use your Pills, and by persevering with
them was perfectly cured, and enabled to resume my occupa.
tion ; and although a considerable period has elapsed, I have
felt no return whatever of the complaint.—l am, Sir, &c.,
"Oct. 80, 1852." (Signed) " W. Moots.
A PERMANENT CURE OF A DI4SEASED LIVER, OF MANY
YEARS' DURATION.—Copy of a letter from Mr. Gamis,
che-
mist, Yeovil, to Professor Holloway :—" Dear Sir,—ln this
district your Pills command a more extensive sale than any
other proprietary medicine before the public. As a proof of
their efficacy in bilious and liver complaints, I may mention
the following case. A lady of this town, with whom I am
personally acquainted, for years was a severe sufferer from
disease of the liver and digestive organs. Her medical at-
tendant assured her that he could do nothing to relieve her
sufferings, and it was not likely she could survive many
months. This announcement naturally caused great alarm
among her friends and relations, and they induced her to
make a trial of your Pills, which so improved her general
health that she was induced to continue them until she re-
ceived a perfect cure. This is twelve months ago, and she
has not experienced any symptoms of relapse, and often de-
clares that your Pills have been the means of saving her life.
—I remain, dear Sir, yours truly,
" Nov. 23rd. 1852." (Signed) " J. GAMIS.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF DROPSY, AFTER SUFFER-
ING FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS.—COpy of a letter from Mr. G.
Briggs, chemist, Goole, dated Feb. 15, 1853 :—" To Professor
Holloway.—Sir,—l have much pleasure in informing you of
a most surprising cure of dropsy, recently effected by your
valuable medicines. Capt. Jackson, of this place, was afflicted
with dropsy for upwards of 18 months, to such an extent that
it caused his body and limbs to be much swollen, and water
oozed as it were from his skin, so that a daily change of ap-
parel became necessary. Notwithstanding the various reme-
dies tried, and the different medical men consulted, all was
of no ivail, until be commenced using your Pills, by which,
and a strict attention to the printed directions he was effec-
tually cured, and his health perfectly re-established. If you
deem this worthy of publicity, you are at liberty to use it.

WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY,.
PATRONISED BY THE FACULTY.
For the instant relief and speedy cure of ASTHMA, COUGHS,
COLDS, and all pulmonic Affections, has received the stamp
of public approbation. The triumphs of this remarkable
Cough Lozmige, in cases of Asthma, Hoarseness,Loss of Voice,
and Tightness of the Chest, become constantly more and more
astonishing. Common coughs, when no physical disorgani-
zation exists, and sore throat immediately yield to its healing
influence. It strengthens the lungs to resist the effect of
sudden changes in the air, and it healthily braces and an-
vigorates the chest. No remedy can be resorted to that af-
fords such real ease and comfort to the chest, which so un-
clogs the lungs or so pleasantly clears the voice, as WOOL-
LEY'S PECTORAL CANDY. For aged persons it is
invaluable ; and none, whose lungs are in the least susceptible
of cold, ought to be without it. Although powerful to con-
quer disease, and exerting a decidedly purifying influence
on the blood, these Lozenges disagree not with a delicate
constitution ; on the contrary, their influence is proved, bv
a very large experience, to be uniformly salutary and
strengthening. Full directions for use accompany each box.
The following are a few of the many thousand cures yearly
effected by WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY
Redditcli, Worcestershire, March 17th, 1851.—Sir,
I have the pleasure of informing you of the cure of a
sister of mine of Asthma of ten years' duration, by your Pec-
toral Candy.—l am, yours truly, JAMES Duna I es. Tem-
perance Hotel.—N.B.—l could tell you of another cure,
but the person said he should write to yon himself. This
was the person who recommended it to my sister.
I, Kirby-street, Poplar, London, September 30th 1851.—
Dear Sir,—l cannot speak too highly of the excellence of
Woolley's Pectoral Candy. I have sufferd for years with a
dreadful cough and difficulty of breathing. In this distress-
ing state, I was recommended to try Woolley's Pectoral
Candy. the first box of which gave me great relief; the
second box completely cured roe. I have recommended them
to many of my friends who were similarly afflicted, who have
all received the greatest relief from them.--I am, sir,
your
obliged, OCTAVIUS GLYN.—To Dr. Kernot, Surgeon Syc,
Chrisp-street, Poplar, New Town, London, Agent for the sale
of Woolley's Pictoral Candy.

HOW TO PROLONG LIFE AND ENJOY IT.
—THE GREAT PURIFYING AND STRENGTH-
ENING MEDICINE.
What though the sun in beauty shine,
And you have countless hoards of wea'th ;
What though the world—all, all was thine,
If you but want the blessing, Health.
Dr. DB ROOS' PILUL/E VITA, or VEGETABLE LIFE
PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages,
concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom ; they may
be administered to the youngest Child, or to the moat delicate
Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age
and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and
Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms,
Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals, in4l-
- Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless-
ness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance ; and while they
act thus salutarily they must of necessity increase the
strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the
Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensa-
tions,—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy,
Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by
a few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refresh-
ing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy
in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity
of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few
instances, where occasionally employed in Families aad
Schools, will other assistance be needed.
For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches,
Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim-
' pies, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the
Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them parti-
cularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For
Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that
can be taken.
Mr. Smith, St. Ives: "Since taking your Pills I have not
once required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied
this would be the case generally, if people were not so mach
governed by prejudice."—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near
Melton Mowbray Having read your advertisement, I felt
assured your Pills would be of use to some of my poorer
neighbours. I have had 12 boxes, and they have derived
great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recom-
mend your valuable Pills to all my friends."— Mr. Edwia
Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax : I find your Pilulse Vitae
a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Msens-

"SOCIETY HAS RIGT TO PROTECT
L"

Sucu is the trite title of a very 'ingeniously writ-
ten, although rather sophistical, pamphlet which
has just been put into our hands. We echo the
sentiment:, and fearlessly assert, society has a
right to protect itself ! But how is this protection
to be brought about ? where is it most wanted ?
and in what direction are the means to be applied ?
Our friend, the author of the pamphlet, says the
protection is to be obtained through the establish-
ment of teetotalism, and only through that means
sss-the agency for bringing this universal ism into
operation, according to his view, is to obtain a
legislative enactment, similar to the celebrated
Maine Liquor Law, whereby a total prohibition of
all traffic in intoxicating liquors, unless under the
sanction of the medical license, shall become part
and parcel of the law of the land. Of the efficiency
of the latter portion of his remedy we entertain
grave doubts, against its injustice and expediency
we have a rooted objection. So adverse, indeed, is
it to the genius of our institutions, that, under
ordinary circumstances, the suggestion of such a
project might reasonably have occasioned more
anxiety as to the mental health of the proposer
than have excited dread in the mind of even
an alarmist as to the chance of legislative inter-
ference in any such way. Times are changed,
however, and we are changed in them. Since the
lower branch of the legislative body has become so
decidedly a popular institution as of late years it
has been made, no project appears too absurd to
obtain some abettors among the people's represen-
tatives. In point of fact, the game of legislation
has become the rage—the fashionable folly of the
day. No one now considers it worth his while to
ascertain how far existing laws provide against
unusual or new contingencies. Every constituent—
and who is not a constituent now-a-days P—feels
himself qualified and entitled to point out to his
representative some cog or pinion in the legis-
lative machine which does not work exactly as it
ought to do, and to insist upon the introduction of
some new tooth or ratchet—some additional crank
or subsidiary fly-wheel, by which the supposed
imperfection may be remedied—regardless alto-
gether of its effect upon the general motion and effi-
cacy of the entire apparatus. This restless craving for
legislative interference inthe ordinary business oflife,
as it is one of the most common, so it is one of the
most dangerous whimsicalities of the day ; and,
under the dread influence of its action, it becomes
us cautiously, yet resolutely, to scan any threatened
legislation, altogether irrespective of its seeming
absurdity. Under other circumstances, a project
for establishing the Maine Liquor Law in Eng-
land would be too ridiculous to merit serious
attention ; but from the pertinacity with which
enthusiastic theorists adhere to and push their
whims, there exists a remote chance that some
morning the English people may awake and find
the monomaniacal proviso fastened by legislative
oerements round its neck.
Should such an enactment ever emanate from
our legislature, what would be its effect ? Would
society become suddenly reconciled to so extraor-
dinary an abridgement of its freedom ? Of a cer-
tainty it would not. No effort for the improve-
ment of the human race has ever been successfully
carried out by force ; and all experience tells us
that no beneficial schemes have ever proved §,(:)
abortive or so futile as those in which coercion his
been depended on as a substitute for willing
obedience. The first and immediate operation of
such a law, if passed, would be, we fear, an im-
mense spread of dissimulation—the doubtful or
the wavering disciple of temperance would be led
by the mere spirit of contradiction to evade its
operation—the intemperate would find an addi-
tional stimulant to excess in a bold defiance of the
law and an open contempt of its provisions. Men
of regulated appetites and sound moral convictions
would, no doubt, comply with the requirement, and
yield a ready obedience to the law ; but for such 'a
legislative enactment is not necessary ; their own
feelings of propriety secure them against any trans-
gression of such a law, and, acting in obedience to
these, ought to protect them from so degrading
an infringement of their liberty. Is society to be
trammelled and insulted, that men, with desires
less exalted than those which animate brutes, may
be restrained from the exercise of a filthy indul-
gence ? As reasonable would it be to deprive all
men of their personal liberty, because some indi-
viduals are possessed of only latitudinarian notions
of the rights of property.
Before attempting physical restraints, however,
let us at least understand the case as it at present
stands. A desire for excitement is among the
earliest instincts by which man is characterised.
This instinctive craving, in the rude stages of his
uncultured intellect, is obtained by recourse to
coarse physical indulgences—of these, the most
generally used, if not the most natural, are induced
by alchoholic stimulants ; a fact established among
most people, in all ages and in every quarter of
the world. The progress of moral training, of
intellectual culture, and religious observance has
ever been to restrain and regulate this desire—to
supplant the grosser enjoyments by those of a less
sensual order. Such has been its course in ancient
times, and such we know to be its inevitable ten-
dency in our own day "and under our own sphere of
observation. In the days of our great grandfathers
it was hardly deemed an imprudence, in men of
even exalted rank, to pursue festive indulgence to
an extent, the bare idea of which would now be
shocking to a man of character, while its display
would be ruinous in most positions of life. In
our times a four-bottle man is almost as rare in
decent society as the mounted highwayman upon
'our thoroughfares ; and promises speedily to be as
extinct among the human family as the dodo is in
our living ornithology. The heavy drinker is no
more a man of consideration in the social scale—he
is one, in fact, whom none but the depraved would
cite as an example—whom none but the worthless
would seek to imitate. Drinking usuages, in
point of fact, are rapidly yielding to the
claims of purer intellectual enjoyments than
can be realised through their indulgence,
and this recession, though slowly, is gradually
and surely descending through all grades of
society—that too, in defiance of all the facilities
and allurements held out for the gratification of
degrading. and disgusting vice. Statistics, no
doubt, tell us of the vastly increased consumption
of alchoholic beverages, in our day, as compared
with that of earlier times ; but statistics also tell
us of the inunense addition to our population, and
of their greatly accumulated means of indulgence ;
and by comparing the number of our countrymen,
the means at their disposal, and the amount spent
in such debasing indulgences at the present and
at former periods, we feel little apprehension at the
result of such investigation proving in favour of
our own time. If such be the natural course of
moral and religious progress, and we fearlessly
maintain it is so, why seek to cumber our statute
book With a new law, which at the best only aims
at substituting extrinsic for self-controul—which
in its provisions
felt by the implies a censure more acutely
virtuous than dreaded by the vicious—
and which, by a clumsy process, more than doubt-
ful in its efficacy, seeks to supplan, t the healthy and

health-giving action of moral and religions train-
ing, by a cold and lifelesss material regulation.

A much greater, more beneficial, and more en-
during improvement in this direction, is to be
obtained through moral agency, than can be hoped
for through legislative means. Let the ministers
of religion, the teachers of youth, and the other
philanthropic guardians of public morals co-operate
heartily in providing for the working classes places
of resort where rational amusement, wholesome
instruction, and safe excitement may be brought
surely and soothingly within their reach—let them
be taught, in a spirit of kindness, to regulate their
passions, and be led gently in the path of recti-
tude—supply them with other, and not less cogni-
zably attractive places of resort than the gin-shop—
secure for them comfortable habitations—create
and foster among them a taste for the good, the
pure, the holy, and you will not require to interdict
them from the use of degrading indulgence—
aleviate their moral nature and you will require no
penal statutes to guard them against grovelling
error—address your efforts to a regeneration of
their higher and immortal instincts, and purifying
those, you will avoid the thankless and fruitless
necessity of attempting to make them " virtuous
upon compulsion." such efforts, and through
the application of such means, demonstrate, estab-
lish, and give vital energy to the assertion that
" Society has a right to protect itself."

THE CZAR'S LETTER TO THE
QUEEN.

( PROM THE PRESS.

[Our contemporary the Times stated on Wednesday that the
Czar was about to write an autograph letter to the Queen
of England. We are now enabled to lay a translation of
this letter before our readers from a copy received just as
we were going to press.)
MADAME, AND MY SISTER,

Deprived of our respective representatives, there is no
longer reason why I should hesitate, personally, to ap-
proach your constitutional solitude (isolement). If for
one moment I recur to recollections of hospitality and
paternal interchange (echange) of confidence, it is only
that I may strike, in your Majesty's bosom, a chord vibra-
ting in unison with that which inspires my present
utterance (parole). An accomplished musician, your
Majesty will not find this analogy frivolous.
Hitherto Sisters, and charmed to bear on their waters
an intercommunion of the riches of commerce, the Neva
and the Thames, are, it would seem, to be foaming rivals,
engulping (engloutissantes) amity.
To speak of our mutual resources were now a cold insult.
We know our strength, and repose in its embraces. A
great ruler but accomplishes destiny when he puts forth
(fafsant voir) his utmost force. Heaven is power, and
the weak sovereign is an atheist.
Why (if it were permitted to question geography) were we
separated by the distance between London and St. Peters-
burg ? Had that barrier been absent,and I could habitu-
ally (frequemment) have presented myself, I will not say
at the Saint James's throne, but at the Windsor chair,
this deplorable condition of eventualities could never have
been consummated. The Sovereign of England and her
people would have been alike my friends. Is it allowed
me to forget the cheers that rang down the green turf
(gazon) of Ascot, when the riders of England deigned to
contest for the silver toy your Majesty sanctioned my
setting before their ambition ? Again let my murmurs
echo those of the intervening and chilling (frileux) Baltic.
But there is no Past for a Monarch, who must still ad-
vance onward, onward, the Juif Errant of institutions
Yet one word for history. It is not with helm on brow:
and sword in hand, guarding his creed and nationalities, his
that a Sovereign's truth shall be doubted. It is not a
Romanoff addressing a Guelph that shall be doubted. It
is not a brother writing to his sister who shall be doubted.
And truth is in her own holy vindication, and her name
is written in the stars.

That Aberdeen humbugged me in the most owdaeious
manner.

This strife, be it long or short (and my wishes on the
subject are your Majesty's), results from the unrighteous
combinations (tracasseries) of that unrighteous old man.
I am not aware that since the days of Eve a more flagrant
case has happened than this satanical irruption into the
European Paradise.
I have the honour to swear to your Majesty that from
the very outset of the difficulties with France about the
;Ably Places your Premier caused me to understand
•tenser)-that I should have everything I asked for, and
that-England was quite arrayed with me against those
Papist Frenchmen. Fortified by this assurance I pro-
ceeded—but your Majesty knows the rest.
The sword—l would beg your Majesty's pardon for
naming such an article before a lady, but I know that I
speak to Britannia rather than to Victoria—is drawn.
Could it be replaced in the scabbard with honour, it
might be well ; but our new-born chivalry must receive
its baptism of blood—again begging your Majesty's pardon
for mentioning the article. But it is well that you, my
dear sister, and your people, should comprehend that but
for the half-hearted (faineant) policy of my Lord Aber-
deen, who first encouraged me, and then (I do him but
justice to say reluctantly) repelled me when he found out
the sentiments of your nation, the sword might have slept
in its scabbard, long and peacefully as he sleeps at Coun-
cil—inapt simile, for the sword carries its point, and the
Scottishman never does.

I have cleared myself with your Majesty. I would that
there were some possibility of healing the wound. It has
occurred to me that my trusted friend, Count Orloff, has a
desire to see the Sydenham Palace. Should Sir Paxton
invite him it would be a disrespect I would never forgive
did not Orloff solicit the honour of an interview with your
Majesty. I will not hurt myself with the idea that there
could be difficulty in according that interview, but would
rather dwell upon the pleasure I should derive from hearing
my friend detail (specifier) the amiable steps by which he
had led your Majesty, to a view of matters more in har-
mony with that of St. Petersburg than that of St. Ste-
phen's. Your Majesty, I read in the journals, has visited
Sydenham, and will be enabled, should it be your gracious
pleasure, to intimate to Count Orloff (I enclose his address)
whether there is anything there worth seeing.
Whatever be the issues of events (and it would not be-
come me to be exultant in the convictions which tell me
that either no war is holy or I am the. Sovereign of Turkey),
I have the honour, &c., NICHOLAS.

COAST DEFENCES.—The recruiting for the naval volun-
teer force for the defence of the Scottish coasts has been
proceeding in this quarter during the last week. Captain
Craigie visited Berwick on Wednesday for the purpose of
enroling volunteers. His success in that town, however,
has not been very great. Only eight of the fishermen
were induced to come forward and enter themselves. At
Eyemouth sixty-four men have been enrolled, and at
Dunbar eighteen. Out of the 1,500 men required for
Scotland, upwards of 800 have already been obtained.—

OUR CORN SUPPLIES—A GLANCE AT SPAIN.—We
noticed a few weeks ago the prospects that were being
opened of an increased commerce with the Peninsular in
the article of grain, and the possibility of plentiful supplies
being drawn from that quarter at prices which would al-
leviate the dearness now universally complained of, and
yield increased employment and profitable remuneration
for the agricultural industry of Spain. To this important
result, as we then observed, there is only one impediment,
viz., difficulty of transit—an impediment, however, which
public enterprise will not long permit to exist where a
lucrative commerce is practicable. It is well-known that
for the abundance and excellence of her cereal produce
Spain is almost unrivalled, and that with the lightest of
labour she can produce an immense surplusage of food for
export. It is therefore important, at a period of dearth
and dearness, and on the eve of a crisis which must render
our ordinary supplies very precarious, to take advantage
of so rare a source of relief, and develope it to the utmost.
Strongly confirmative of our recent observations on this
subject, we have read with pleasure a series of articles in
a Spanish journal—the Bulletin of Commerce of Santan-
der, which furnishes us with some definite statistics as to
the present amount of trade, but deplores that the large
supplies of Castille are virtually locked up in the interior
of the country and rendered unavailable for European con-
sumption by the three-fold obstacles of tardiness of trans-
port, severity of weather, and badness of roads. It ap-
pears that upwards of 300,000 carts and waggons passed
over the turpike road to and from Santander (the great
outlet in the Bay of Biscay for Spanish produce) during
the last year, and that the carriage of flour alone from Alar
to Santander realised in the month of September last
6,400,000 reals, or £64,000. To show the rapid develope-
meat of commerce in this district even under the disad-
vantages we have named, it may be stated that the exports
from the ports of Santander and Requejada have increased
from 3,099,245 arrobas (251bs. weight) in 1849 to 6,098,349
in 1852. If this could be effected with the present
wretched means of transport to the sea-board, what may
not be expected when a line of railway is carried into the
interior from Santander, through the rich provinces of
Castille and Madrid ? The produce of wheat in Castille
during the harvest of 1853 was 8,000,000 fanegus, or
6,640,000 cwt., equal to 1,600,000 English quarters : and
it is no exaggeration to say that were the agricultural
resources of Spain duly developed, and the proper means
of transit afforded, we might draw from that country
annually several million quarters of grain, to say nothing
of other produce and of the increased amount of manufac-
tures which we should export to the Peninsular.—me
Empire.
