FOR INDIGESTION, BILIOUS AND LIVER
COMPLAINTS.

" 0, Blessed Health I thou art above all gold and treasure;
'tis thou who enlargeth the soul, and openest all its powers to
receive instruction and to relish virtue. He that has thee, has
little more to wish for ; and he that is so wretched as to want
thee, wants every thing with thee." STERNE.

As a preserver of Health, and a gentl e carious Remedy
for Indigestion, and all Disorder iginating from a morbid
action of the Stomach and , STIRLING'S PILLS have
met with more general ap ation than any Medicine yet dis-
covered, requiring nor !mint of diet, or confinement, during
their use. They ar ild in their operation, and comfortable
in their effect; an may be taken at any age or time, without
danger from cold or wet. They speedily remove the causes
that produce disease, and restore health and vigour to the
whole system.. For FEMALES they are invaluable, as they re-
move obstructions? promote a regular circulation, and improve
the complexion, giving the skin a beautiful, clear, and bloom-
ing appearance, which, by their use, may be retained to the
latest period of life. Also for CHILDREN they are the best
Medicine that can be used, as they expel worms, and carry off
crudities, &c., from the Stomach and Intestines; by which
they prevent illness, and lay the foundation of good health for
future years. FREE LIVERS, who are subject to Head-ache,
Giddiness, Drowsiness, Irregularity of the Bowels, Nervous
Irritability, &c., should never be without them ; for by their
prompt administration on the first symptoms of illness, Fits,
Apoplexy, Gout, and many other dangerous complaints, may
be prevented or cured. The have been found highly benefi-
cial during a course of Sea lathing; and are particularly re-
commended to Officers of the Army and Navy, and Persons
going Abroad, as a preventive of those diseases so frequently
arising from Heat and change of Climate.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY,

Their lordships resumed at five o'clock, when the Mar-
quis of Lansdowne laid on the table a bill for tha better
regulation of select vestries.
The LORD CHAIgCELLOR then read her Majesty's speech,
which was afterwards read by the clerk at the table.
Earl BRUCE, on rising to move the address, went over,
briefly, the chief topics touched upon in the royal speech.
In respect to reduction in the national estimates, he said
that he was quite confident that the government would
not propose any reductions incompatible with the safety
of the state. It was impossible that any very great reduc-
tion could be made in the army unless some different
system could be devised for the government of our colo-
nies. It was the duty of the government to provide such
troops as were necessary for their protection. Whatever
reduction might be considered advisable, he trusted that
none would take place in our artillery force.
Lord BATEMAN briefly seconded the address.

Lord BROUGHAM said it gave him unfeigned satisfac-
tion to agree with the authors of the speech, and with the
noble mover and seconder of the address, that a consider-
able improvement had taken place in the commercial and
manufacturing condition of the country. (Hear.)

_ .
The Earl or WirccniLsEA thought that a reduction in
our naval and military establishments would be fatal to
the empire, and declared that the ministers must be quite
infatuated who could think of proposing such absurd eco-
nomy.

PRESTON CORN MARKET, . FEB. 3,

Notwithstanding the alarm of protectionists and others of
their class, the prices of all descriptions of grain and "bread
stuffs" realized a decided advance. Wheat, Flour, and Oat-
meal were fully Is. to Is. 6d. higher. The supply of Wheat was
small, and at the opening of the market commanded a brisk
demand; but with the advance of price inquiry slackened.
Some old samples of white were sold at 255. 6d. The samples
offered were ou the whole of only middling quality. Irish Meal
was about 6d. dearer. Potatoes advanced Is. per load, the stock
in the market being small.

A TENDER BEGGAR.—One day last week a P3-er
named Darby Allen came to St. Germans, made a g'
noise in the parish, was offered relief, but would not,e,
cept it. He was then sent down to the Torpoint now/
a cart, when the master, although Allen was by no 01,10;
of a prepossessing appearance, commenced searching 1r
Suddenly the master heard something rattle woe es'
touched the beggar's side, upon which our wortblrol.
claimed, " Och, be aisv now ! I'm tinder about the
sure you're not going to tear the clothes off my "„ ,
v
The master persisted in the search, and on diving
bottom of Paddy's inexpressibles, he brought uf„
From this the master deducted 7s. for the cart,
food, and giving Allen 2s. for himself, he set him so
exercise his powers of blarney in other and probably
successful quarters.—DtvenMire Chronicle.

TASKER'S ANTI-COLLISION SHIP SIGNAL

TERN, recently Invented and Registered b
JAMES T
SHIP IRONMONGE ND BRASS FOUNDER,

41, SOUICASTLE-STREET,
IVERPOOL.

The advarirtpera Ship Light first, that it combines
in one tante all the distinctness and designating colours at-
tained by three separate Lamps on the usual plan. Secondly,
that having one bright colourless light in front, and two varied
coloured lights (one at each side), and placed diagonally with
the other, the real position of an approaching Shin may be
readily determined by the spectator on board of another vessel.
Thirdly, it is superior to any single Lantern hitherto in use, as
affording due warning whether the vessel is coming bow on, or
whether her starboard or her pt,rt bow is nearest. Fourthly,
this Lantern, in cost and lighting, though strongly made and
glazed in the best manner, is cheaper than the ordinary Ship
Lantern.

The Lantern (which has already been used and highly ap-
proved of by many Captains) may be had, of any desired size,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHPORT COURSING MEETING.—The great &anis-
brick cup was won by Mr. Booth's Landseer. The Fleet-
wood Stakes were won by Mr. Graham's Anarchy. The
Churchtown Stakes were won by Mr. Bake's General
Chasse. The Crossen's Stakes were won by Mr. Hunt's
Ric. And the Southport Stakes were divided between
Mr. Hunt's Beauty and Mr. Bake's Cygnet.
A TOUGH RUN.—On Friday last, one of the officers of
the 39th Regiment rode a steeple chase for £25, with Dr.
Armstrong, on Preston Moor. Both horses started to-
gether, and took the first leap together. Mr. Armstrong's
horse then lost ground, and the other passed him. Before
he had got half a mile, Mr. Armstrong's horse fell, and
threw his rider, who, however, was not hurt. The other
gentleman rode on; and, when within about two hundred
yards of the winning-post, his horse fell, and rolled over
him, breaking his collar bone. Notwithstanding the
injury, however, he remounted his horse, and rode on in
a winner. Dr. Norris, who was upon the ground at the
time, then set the bone.

BELFAST CORN MARKET, NOVEMBER 2

We have had no foreign arrivals this week, but have had a
fair supply coastwise, consisting of three small cargoes of In-
dian Corn, two of Wheat, and four of Flour. At this day's
market the supply of all kinds of grain was moderate, good de-
scriptions of which were readily taken off at about last week's
rates, but inferior sorts dull and easier to buy. Foreign Wheat
in fair request, for mixing, at about late prices. For good de-
scriptions of bakers' first and prime American Flour there is a
good inquiry; but new and inferior sorts dull and easier to buy.
Indian Corn and Rye dull and less inquired for; and some in-
ferior and partially heated of the former has been disposed of
ex ship at low prices.

THE GREAT STEPPES OF TARTARY. —As the torrid
zone is characterised on the whole by a disposition in all
vegetation to become arborescent, so some of the Asiatic
steppes in.the temperate zone are characterised by the
great height attained by flowering herbaceous plants,
Saussureas and other Synantherze, and Papilionacete,
especially a host of species of Astragalus. In traversing
pathless portions of these steppes, the traveller, seated in
the low Tartar carriages, sees the thickly crowded plants
bend beneath the wheels, but without rising up cannot
look around him to see the direction in which he is mov-
ing. Some of the Asiatic steppes are grassy plains ;
others are covered wtth succulent, evergreen, articulated
soda plants : many glisten from a distance with flakes of
exuded salt which cover the clayey soil, not unlike in
appearance to fresh fallen snow.—Humboldt's Aspects of
Nature.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.-RETURN OF
SIR J. ROSS.

We have announced, in another column, the arrival at
Scarborough of the Enterprise and Investigator, forming
the expedition under Sir James Ross, on their passage
home from the Arctic regions, having been perfectly UR-
successful in their search for the gallant Franklin and his
brave companions.
The two shipi wintered at Port Leopold, at the en-
trance of Prince Regent's Inlet and Barrow's Straits. On
the 15th May last, Sir James Ross, with a party of sea-
men, set out and travelled 200 miles along the coast of
North Somerset, south side of Barrow's Straits, on land
never before trod by civilized men. The expedition re-
turned after Lein out 40 days, during which time not the
slightest clue was obtained of the lost navigators. They
were without the sun about 80 days, and had the tem-
perature 80 degrees below freezing, Fahrenheit. The
Enterprise has lost four men during the voyage, and her
consort, the Investigator, three.
The two ships got clear of the ice September 25th, and
made the Orkneys October 28th. On the Ist of Novem-
ber the Investigator was spoken by a vessel, and informed
that no news of Franklin bad been received at home.
This announcement spread a gloom over the crews of the
ships, and Sir James Ross was deeply affected. Sir J.
Ross visited Woolwich yesterday.

CORK CORN MARKET, Nov. 3.
Bakers' Flours have good consumption, those made from
strong Foreign Wheats getting a decided preference. Inferiors
are in good request. Indian Corn, with a moderate sale to the
country, is unchanged in value. Prime foreign Wheats are in
good demand at 235. to 255. per brl. At our market the prices
of raw corn have varied very little this week.
