steady, with moderate sales. Butter was in good demand,,es-
pecially for good dairies. The unfavourable weather checked
transactions in groceries, and scarcely anything was doing
either in coffee or sugar.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS
CURE OF ASTHMA.

Extract of a Letter from Mr. Benjamin Mackie, a respectable
Quaker, dated Creenagh, near Loughall, Ireland, Sep-
temberllth, 1848.
To Professor HoLtowA

Respected Friend,—Thy excellent Pills have eftectually cured
me of an Asthma, which afflicted me for three years to such an
extent, that I was obliged to walk my room at night for air,
afraid of being suffocated if I went to bed by cough and phlegm.
Besides taking the Pills, I rubbed plenty of thy Ointment into
my chest night and morning.

CURE OF TYPHUS FEVER, WHEN SUPPOSED TO BE
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1849-10-09

VARIETIES.

WINNING A WAGER.—" I will bet you a bottle of wine
that you shall descend from that chair the first time I ask
you." " Done," said the gentlemen, who seemed de-
termined not to obey the summons so obediently. " Come
down." " I will not," was the reply. " Then stop up
until I ask you a second time." The gentleman having
no desire to retain his position till that period, came off
the chair, and the other party won the wager.
In the memoir of Dr. Chalmers, inserted in the Trans-
actions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, it is said that
on one occasion, when some person present was animad-
verting upon the wealth of the Church of England, and
gave as an example of its over-abundance the revenues of
the see of Durham, the Doctor exclaimed with character-
istic eagerness, " Sir, if all that has been received for the
bishopric of Durham since the foundation of the see, were
set down as payment for Butler's Analogy, I should es-
teem it a cheap purchase."
TIT FOR TAT.—The peculiar disadvantages of farming
near a populous town may be illustrated by an anecdote
related by a near neighbour of Mr. Rigden's :—" One
day (he said) just before harvest, I met a fashionable
gentleman with a large handful of ears of wheat taken
from my fields. I saluted him respectfully, and expressed
my admiration of the beauty of the wheat. ' Yes,' said
he, ' it is truly a fine sample, and does the farmer great
credit who grew it.' I acknowledged the compliment,
and asked him from which of my fields he took it. After
he had pointed it out, he assured me he always liked to
take a good sample home, as it amused the ladies. Upon
this, noticing with admiration the beauty of his dress
coat, T asked him to allow me to look at the skirt. He
readily did so, and I quietly took out my penknife and
cut a large piece from the tail. The gentleman bounced
and swore, but I told him I always took samples of cloth,
as I found they greatly interested my wife. I added, that
he had no more right to take my wheat than I had his i
coat, and that I wished the public to beimpressed with
this truth, for when thousands of people visited one's
fields, and each took away some ears, the losses annually
were very great."—Sussex Express.
FLOATING DOWN A WATERFALL IN THE SANDWICH
ISLANDS.—One of the greatest attractions was a water-
fall, about 300 yards up the river. It needed not the
feats done there to make the fall of the Wailuka or River
of Destruction worth looking at. The river ran for some
hundred yards or so in rapids, over rocks and stones ; the
banks, crag, and precipice, 200 feet high, whose rudeness
was softened and refined by tendrils and creepers, that
hung down to the foaming water, which iii-Ratoredly

CONTRACTS FOR THE PARISH.

BEEF AND MUTTON.--The tenders for beef and mutton
were the first submitted to the board. On their being
read over

Mr. MELLOR advised the meeting to accept the lowest
tender for six months, as he did not believe that butchers'
meat could be any lower at the end of six months than it
was at present.
The tender of Mr. J. Hall was then accepted.

Flour, Wheat, and Oatmeal, Mr. Walmsley.—Milk
Mr. W. Harvey.—Ale and Porter, Mr. J. Parker.—
Barm, Messrs. Godfrey and Son.—Cheese and Butter,
Mr. W. Smith.—Groceries, Messrs. H. Tate and Co.—
Tobacco and Snuff, Mr. M‘Millen.—Chandlery and
Soap, Messrs. Vaughan and Staveley.—Drysaltery, Mr.
S. Woods.—Sall, Messrs. F. and B. Jones.
Potatoes.—For potatoes the lowest tender was 2s. Bd.
per bushel of 901bs. for three months, or 3s. per bushel
for six months.

Mr. MELLoR thought the tenders very high. The
price in the country was not at present more than Is. 6d.
per bushel, and he, therefore, suggested that the contract
should stand over.

After some desultory conversation,
Dlr. GARDNER moved that the contract for potatoes
stand over.

Mr. HODSON moved, as an amendment, that the
tender for 2s. Bd. for three months be accepted.
After some conversation, in the course of which it
appeared that the vestry were not in want of potatoes for
the next three months,
Mr. IRELAND advised the meeting to accept the tender
at 3s. per bushel for six months, and expressed his belief
that in less than that time there would be a considerable
rise in the price of potatoes.
Several members gave a contrary opinion, and ulti-
mately the contract was ordered to stand over.
Coals, Mr. R. Neilson.—Wines and Spirits, deferred.

Leather. Mr. Fisher.—Smallwares, Mr. J. Bingham.
—Linen drapery, Messrs. Adamson and Co.—Woollen

Shoes, Mr. J. Cupsey.—Hay and Straw, Mr. H. Bate.
—lronmongery and Tin.—On the tenders for ironmon-
gery being read over,
Mr. GARDNER moved that the lowest tenders, taken
together, for iron and tin, be accepted.
Some discussion took place upon this proposition,
and ultimately it was agreed that the lowest tenders in
each should be accepted.
The tenders sent in for ironmongery were from Messrs.
Chapman and Callis, and from Mr. J. R. Cooper; and
Mr. Cooper's being the lowest, it was accepted.
The tenders for tin were then read over. There were
five, namely, from Messrs, Chapman and Callis, Mr. J.
R. Cooper, and three others. The lowest tender was that
of Mr. Cooper, which was accepted.

AT THE POINT OF DEATH

A respectable female in the neighbourhood of Loughall, was
attacked with Typhus Fever, and lay for five days without hav-
ing tasted any description of food. She was given over by the
Surgeon, and preparations were made for her demise. Mr.
Benjamin Mackie, the Quaker, whose case is referred to above,
heard of the circumstance, and knowing the immense Cenefit
that he himself had derived from Holloway's Pills, recom-
mended an immediate trial, and eight were given to her, and
the same number was continued night and morning for three
days, and in a very short time she was completely cured.
N.B.—From advice just received, it appears that Colonel
Dear, who is with his Regiment in India, the 21st Fusileers,
cured himself of a very bad attack of Fever by these celebrated
Pills. There is no doubt that any Fever, however malignant,
may be cured by taking, night and morning, copious doses of
this fine medicine. The patient should be induced to drink
plentifully of warm linseed tea or barley water.
CURE OF DROPSY IN THE CHEST.

Extract of a Letter from J. S. Mundy, Esq., dated Kennington,
near Oxford, December 2d, 184 a.

To Professor HOLLOWAY.
Sir,—My Shepherd for sour time was afflicted with water on
on ng chest, when I heard of it I immediately advised him to
try your Pills, which he did, and was perfectly cured, and is
now as well as ever he was in his life. As I myself received so
astonishing a cure last year from your Pills and Ointment, it
has ever since been my most earnest endeav•ur to make known
their excellent qualities.

jerked them as it rushed by. A huge rock divided the
stream, one half of which dashed petulantly on, and met
a noisy fate down the fall ; while the other, of a milder
gentler nature, ran along a channel of solid rock, and fell
in one heavy stream a depth of about 25 feet, joining the
rough waters below. A little turmoil succeeded the junc-
tion ; then they flowed quietly on, like brothers. arm in-
arm, till they fell again, and soon were lost in the salt
waters of the ocean. The great delight of the natives is
to go down this fall. They sit in the channel I have de-
scribed ; they utter a shout, a scream of joy, join the
hands gracefully over the head, and, one after another,
the girls of Hilo descend, emerging like sea nymphs, in
the eddy below. The figure, as it gleams for an instant
in the body of water, appears to those standing below
quite perfect • and the gay taunts and laughing shouts to
follow, have fed to the death of many, for there is some
secret current that not only drowns, but carries away the
body too. The feat was attempted by three of our men ;
but none. I think, did it twice. The descent of the lower
fall is a lesser feat, and the sensation of going down it
headforemost delightful; even that, however, is often
fatal ; and, during our stay here, a man was lost merely
through making a false step from the bank. The surpris-
ing agility of the women especially baffles description.
One will sit by you on the high bank, and remain so until
you throw a stone into the water with all your force;
then doOn she jumps straight as an arrow, her feet
crossed one over the instep of the other, and emerges with
a laugh, holding up the stone. On first attempting to
rise to the surface after going down the fall, the water
seems, from the force of the current, to be matted over-
head, and it is only by striking out in the eddy that you
can rise ; this the girls manage to perfection. They kick
out their feet both together, and replaiting their hair with
their hands, they float about the edge with a grace that
is beautiful to see. Then the water is clear and blue, not
cold, frosty, half-thawed. As lazily one watched the
stream, down dropped from the ledges overhead, and cut
the bright water, what soon re-appeared--a man or wo-
man. These ledges are 50 or 80 feet high ; yet none
seemed to regard it as a feat, and the merry laugh told
you it was done but to surprise the European. We ap-
peared contemptible in our own eyes, as we skurried from
the rain with our umbrellas ; but we soon yielded to wiser
teaching, threw care away, get wet and dry again without
minding it, swam and enjoyed it as much as they did.—

siderable numbers with goods and passengers, chiefly
from the Atlantic States of America and from Chili. The
only English vessel that has arrived direct with an English

opposed to the truth of the other advices.

CALCEOLARIAS.

The lovers of this very pretty flower must have felt
annoyed at the neglect with which it has been treated
during the past year, only one plant (that by Messrs.
Henderson and Brown, of Oxton, at the Corn Exchange)
having been shewn which was worthy of the name of a
specimen plant. The extreme facility of raising new and
beautiful varieties has doubtless been the principal cause
of its neglect ; but it should be remembered that, how-
ever easy it may be to raise choice varieties, it is by no
means so easy to bring even the freest-growing plant to
perfection. We hope to see this plant again a favourite.

MISCELLANEA.
It is stated that a fall of vegetable matter of an edible
nature, and strongly resembling the manna of the Israel-
ites in its description, has lately taken place at Erzeroom,
in prodigious quantities. Men of science believe that no
actual fall took place, but that by some sudden meteoro-
logical change a large quantity of a peculiar lichen was
developed in the night, the lichen being the Lecanora
esculentus, which is much prized as food by the inhabi-
tants of many countries in which it is found.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

From Bombay and Calcutta, by the overland mail,
another despatch has reached London by extraordinary
express, conveying dates of nearly a month later from
Bombay, and 13 days from Calcutta. The intelligence,
however, is not of great importance. All India was more
than, usually tranquil. The sentence of death passed
upon the prisoner Dewan Moolraj had been commuted
into transportation for life, and was officially communi-
cated to him on the 31st July, in the Am Khas of the fort
of Lahore. We do not learn that he expressed one word
either of gratitude or of grief at the remission of his
original sentence. The place to which he is destined is
said to be Singapore.
The enormous corruptions developed in the Post-office
mannagement at Calcutta had excited intense interest ;
and as the inquiry was proceeding, the greater the defal-
cations appeared.
It was understood that Sir C. Napier would return
home in March next, and that Sir W. Gomm or Sir W.
Colton will succeed to the vacant office of Commander-
in-Chief.
The shipping at Bombay had been visited with the
cholera. On board the Hastings two midshipmen, named
Schneider and Eider, had died, and other officers and
seamen hal suffered extreme illness. The Hon. C. A.
Butler, Surgeon Edgcome, Assistant-Surgeon Porteous,
and Ensign Freeling, had fallen victims to the disorder at
Jaulna. At Poona also several men of the 10th Hussars,
and of the 64th and 83d Foot, had been afflicted with the
malady.

REPLY TO THE CLERGY.—The Archbishop of Canter-
bury, in his reply to the clergy wishing the appointment
of a general day of humiliation, says,—" It is matter of
much gratification to perceive, both by this and by many
other proofs, that there is so much of pious feeling
throughout our land, so ready a reeognition of the hand of
God, whether in adversity or prosperity. I am bound, •
however, to say, in answer to the memorialists, that I
have no power to comply with their petition. In my own
diocese 1 have recommended the observance of a day of
humiliation. In any other diocese I could not attempt to
recommend, much less to authorise such an observance,
without encroaching on the jurisdiction of the diocesan
bishop, and claiming a privilege which only belongs to her
Majesty in Council."

EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.—The meeting of the annual
Conference of the Evangelical Alliance is approaching.
By what we have heard of the interest awakened by these
meetings in London, Liverpool, Bristol Edinburgh, and
elsewhere, as well as from the important and hallowed

will be very numerously attended. We understand that
among those who have already intimated their intention
to be present are included the names of Sir Culling Eard-

FRANCE.

M. Dupin has been elected, by 339 votes out of 479,
President of the Assembly till the end of the year. The
Budget for 1850 gives a deficit of about 320,000,000 f., or
nearly £13,000,000 sterling ! It was reported in the
Assembly that M. de Falloux has resigned the Ministry
of Public Instruction.

A private in the second battalion of the Garde Mobile
in garrison at Givet has been sentenced by court-martial
to imprisonment in irons for five years, and to be inca-
pable of ever again serving in the army, for having used
violent language to his superior.
The Maire of a village who holds the key, having kept
the Archbishop of Rheims out of the church, his grace
threatens to keep all the villagers out of heaven :—he
will excommunicate them !

The National Assembly of France had assembled on
Tuesday ; the members met to elect the president, four
vice-presidents, and six secretaries. M. Dupin, having
obtained 339 votes out of 479 votes, was proclaimed pre-
sident of the assembly until the Ist of January, 1850. M.
3lichel de Bourges, his competitor, obtained 107 votes.
The four vice-presidents elected were Messrs. Barouche,
by 330 votes ; Daru by 338 ; Benoit de Azy by 312 ; and
Bedeau by 271.
The Paris correspondent of the Glasgow Mail writes,
relative to the state of religion in France, that suicides are
common amongst, not persons poor, or in love, or diffi-
culties only, but young men who declare that life is dis-
gusting.
POVERTY AND CRIME.—A terrible " drama," to bor-
row the expression of the Paris Constilutionnel, was
enacted a day or two ago at the barriere de Passy. A
pastrycook, whose affairs were not very prosperous,
thought to better his condition by establishing two shops
in the interior of Paris, one in the passage Vero-Dodat,
and the other in the house of a brother. Three days ago
the brother repaired to Passy for orders, but was told that
the indigence of his relation rendered it necessary to shut
up shop altogether. The same answer was repeated the
following day. At the expiration of the third, the doors
of the house at Passy were found to be fastened ; they
were broken open by the police and four corpses were
found stretched on the floor. The wretched pastrycook
bad, it appears, prepared a " last supper," of which he
partook with his family, and having well seasoned the
meats with arsenic, poisoned himself and his wife and two
young children at the same time.
