DUMBARTON YOUTH (S.S.) HENCE TO GENOA AND
LEGHORN.—Referring to the paragraph in the Telegraph
of yesterday, we are authorised to state that the above
steamer merely put into Queenstown on Monday, the 23d,
in consequence of one of the bolts of the correcting rod
of one of the engines having given way. In a few hours
a new bolt was prepared, and she proceeded on her voyage
next day, the 24th.

irANISM.—The application of Galvanism as a medi-
lt appears to be all the rage in the metropolis. Its
. _ _ _

professors have played the very deuce with the Cold-
water Doctors, for the Medical Galvanists pretend to
accomplish fully as much as the Hydropathists ; and as
the cold water treatment is, without doubt, a very disa-

disagreeable about it, patients now generally resort to the
latter. Mr. W. H. Halse may be considered the leader
in this new branch of medical science, for who ever heard
of galvanic rings, galvanic bracelets, garters, hands, &c.,

. „
before he made galvanism so popular ? If galvanism be
as powerful a remedial agent as it is pretended to be, the
thanks of the invalid public are due to Mr. Halse, and to
him alone, for it ; for without his extraordinary improve
ments in the galvanic apparatus, the applications of gal-

ranks high as a Medical Galvanist is evident from the
fact that the most eminent physicians of the metropolis
invariably recommend their patients to him, where they
think galvanism will be of service.—Morning Chronicle.
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS A SUPERIOR REMEDY FOR AFFEC-
TIONS OF THE CHEST AND DISEASES OF THE LUNGS.—
Bridget M` Bride, a respectable young woman, residing at
Carregart, Ireland, was afflicted with a severe affection of
the chest, from which cause her breathing and articula-
tion had become so extremely difficult, that the general

opinion even of medical men was that her lungs was dis-
eased. Failing to obtain relief from the faculty, she com-
menced taking Holloway's Pills; and so rapid has been
her recovery by the use of this invaluable medicine, that
her cure appears quite miraculous. These pills are equally
efficacious in old coughs, colds, asthmas, sore throats, and
all pulmonic disorders.
THE LABOURING CLASSES.—The dismal picture given
by the reporters of the Morning Chronicle, of the opera-
tive classes, are not altogether unadorned by sunshine.
Occasionally we witness gleams of virtue and heroism
which shine all the more brightly for being seen amidst
such a mass of misery. "As a class," says the reporter,
whose labours are devoted to the metropolitan districts,
" I must say that the workpeople that I have seen appear
remarkably truthful, patient, and generous; indeed, every
day teaches me that their virtues are wholly4unknown to
the world. Their intemperance, their improvidence, their
want of cleanliness, and their occasional want of honesty,
are all that come to our ears. As I said before, however,
I doubt very much whether we should not be as improvi-
dent, if our incomes and comforts were as precarious as
theirs. The vices of the poor appear to be evils naturally
fostered by poverty—even as their virtues are such as want
and suffering alone can beget. Their patience is possi-
tively marvellous. Indeed, I have seen this last week
such contentment, under miseries and privations of the
most appalling nature, as has made me look with absolute
reverence upon the poor afflicted things. I have beheld
stalwart man, with one half of his body dead—his whole
side paralysed, so that the means of subsistence by labour
were denied him—and his wife toiling day and night with
her needle, and getting at the week's end but one shilling
for her ninny hours' labour. I have sat with them in
their wretched hovel, shivering without a spark of fire in
the grate—and the bleak air rushing in through every
chink and crevice. I have been with them and their
shoeless children at their Sunday dinner of boiled tea-
leaves and dry bread, and I have heard the woman, with
smiling lips, not only tell me, but show me, how contented
she was with her lot, bearing the heavy burden with a spi-
rit meek and uncomplaining, such as philosophers may
dream of, but can never compass. The man and his
wife were satisfied that it was the will of God they should
be afflic'ed as they were, and they bowed their heads in
reverend submission to the law. It may be hard to say
'y troubled as we are said the heroic
are satisfied it is all for the best.'
