THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or
NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of
the present day, and more particularly in those of the past
century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence
in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi-
tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeeb!ed con-
stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their
minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies
weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously,
with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange-
ment, the celebrated
CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM
will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan-
guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse-
verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving
many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per-
manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in
all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom-
mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age,
habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have
fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing
train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS.
In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the
corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with-
out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.
Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an
immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their
constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in
their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady,
the affected with any of thoSe previous symptoms that betray
its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system,
obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu-
larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness. &c. But
the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge-
nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the
latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents
the inheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli-
cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together
with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery
aliments, has, without auy fault of hers, brought on all the
calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with-
out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave I Such
as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sy-
riacum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of
life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and
smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives
that proper tensity which a good digestion requires.
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and
spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and
infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by
gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not give
immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the
autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract
the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is
capable of effecting this grand desideratum.
The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In-
dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and
acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions,
arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates.
The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community
should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum,
which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind,
mproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

The recent dry and fine weather has considerably raised
the hopes of the farmers throughout the country generally.
In consequence of the great mortality among the troops in
garrison at Senegal, owing to the excessive use of spirituous
liquors, the governor has issued an order limiting the num-
ber of military cantines, and prohibiting the sale of spirits,
except at certain hours, and in moderate quantities.
ISLE OF MAN FISHERY.—The take of cod fish on Thurs-
day night last was prodigious. Immense quantities were for-
warded by the Queen of Isle to Liverpool, and there was af-
terwards remaining more than sufficient to supply the whole
island. Fine fish were sold as low as ld per lb.—Manx Ad-
vertiser.

A RARE. BIRD.—On Wednesday last was captured on the
estate of William Baldwin, Esq. Stede-hill, by the game-
keeper, a beautiful and rare male specimen of the feather
legged buzzard It was taken alive, but by Mr. Baldwin's
wish was killed, for the purpose of being stuffed.—Kentish
Gazette.

The Riseholme estate, belonging to the late Mr. Chaplin,
near to Lincoln, is transferred to the purchaser, Mr. Machin,
of Gatefield 11111, through the instrumentality of Mr. George
Robins, who, it will be remembered, had it to sell last May.
The price is £60,000. The Bishop of Lincoln is to partake
of the purchase to the extent of near.£4o,ooo.—Lincoln paper.
The Beilby Grange estate, adjoining the town of Wea-
therby, in Yorkshire, and coequal in fame with Ribston,
close by, is announced by Mr. George Robins for public
competition in May, by direction of Lord Wenlock. On the
opposite side of the town is Ribston, which Mr. Robins sold
for £lBO,OOO the other day ; and it is only a few years since
the whole town was alienated, at one fell swoop, by the Duke
of Devonshire. The amount of these three sales approach
six hundred thousand pounds.—Yorkshire Journal.
The suhscriptions at Marseilles for shares in the Medite-
raneo-Transatlantic Steam Navigation Company now amount
to 4,175,0001. This company is not to be constituted until
its capital amounts to 6,000,000 f. nor until Government shall
have agreed to grant it an annual subsidy of 2,000,000 f. in re-
turn for the money paid for all letters, dispatches, &c. which
would in that case be transferred to the cofiers of the state.

ROYAL FAMILY OF RUSSIA.—We learn from St. Peters-
burg that the hereditary Grand Duke of Russia will set out
for Germany towards the end of March. After making short
visits to Warsaw, Weimar, and Darmstadt, his imperialhigh-
ness will go to Ems and Baden, where he will be followed by
the Empress. In the meantime the Emperor will go to Mos-
cow, and probably to Odessa, to inspect the troops in the
south.

PAPAL INTRIGUES IN DENMARK.—The King of Den-
mark. according to a correspondent of the Universe, has
forbidden all Roman Catholic priests and missionaries in the
kingdom to hold any correspondence, directly. or indirectly,
with M. Laurent, Bishop of Chersonesus, who has been ap-
pointed 'to reside at Hamburg, as apostolic vicar, by the Holy
See. The King, at the same time, interdicts that prelate
from exercising any spiritual jurisdiction within the State of
Denmark.

Taglioni still remains the star of the ascendant in St. Pe-
tersburg. Her engagement, which was for three years, will
expire at the close of the present season ; but overtures to
renew it, on the same enormous terms as the present, have
been made, which there can, we presume, be no doubt la
sylphide will accept. The sum she receives is the almost
incredible amount of £12,000 sterling per annum, with other
emoluments ; among which the truly imperial present of the
empress, and others of the royal family, figure to an immense
amount.

It is a fact not generally known to the English people, and
and not at all known to the Irish, that Daniel O'Connell,
Esq. M.P., drew up the abstract of the charter, and, together
with several other members of Parliament, affixed his signa-
ture to the document, O'Connell, upon delivering it to Lovett,
observed, "There now, there is the charter of your liberties,
and be satisfied with nothing short of it." This fellow de-
sired them to arm to the amount of 500,000 fighting men,
and he, with that force, would ensure the accomplishment of
their object—so says Feargus O'Connor in his Northern Star
newspaper.—lnitehaven Paper.

On the 21st instant, the Lord Bishop of Peterborough in-
stituted the Rev. John Clarke Jenkins, M.A., to the vicar-
age of Ashley St. Ledger's, Northamptonshire, vacant by
the death of Dr. Benson, on the presentation of Mrs. Gait-
skell and Mrs. Senhouse, the patronesses.
A SOLDIER'S LIFE IN INDIA.---1 like this country very
much ; as to the climate I think the reports which you hear
of it in England are greatly exaggerated. In the hot wea-
ther the heat is certainly oppressive, but by means of the
immense punkahs kept continually in motion, and the pecu-
liar construction of the houses, we do not suffer much more
than on a hot day in England. As to the weather now (Dec.
15), it resembles a fine sunshiny day in October, except that
the sun is hotter and the wind cooler. We play at cricket,
and go about all day at this period of the year. You would
be astonished to see the queer houses we live in, some little
bigger than cottages. They look cold and desolate to a per-
son just arrived from England, but one soon gets accustomed
to them. We are all quite quiet in this part of the world,
since the arrangement of affairs in Caubul, and there seems
to be no prospect of a war.—Private Letter from Barrack-
pore.

FEAT EXTRAORDINARY.—On Thursday last, a gentleman
of this university backed himself against time, to perform the
following feats,—Kill 12 pigeons, jump over six hurdles on
foot, and leap a horse over six more, scull one mile, and run
one mile, in the short space of half an hour. The place se-
lected for the performance of this undertaking, was a mile
from Baitsbite sluice towards Clayhithe, and it being gene-
rally understood that it would come off about twelve oslock,

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY.

THE CHURCH.
The Bishop of EXETER presented some petitions refer-
ring to church discipline. The right rev. prelate said it was
his misfortune to be opposed on that subject to the opinions
of those whose judgment he revered, and whose character he
respected and esteemed ; but, in presenting these petitions,
he was authorised to state that communications had taken
place between the bishops, and, he was rejoiced to say, that
they were able to agree together, and to produce such a
measure as would, it was hoped, be satisfactory to the church
at large, and to their lordships.
The Bishop of LoNDoN confirmed the statement of the
right rev. prelate.

NOR-INTRUSION.

The Duke of RICHMOND, in presenting petitions against
the intrusion of ministers on non-consenting congregations
in Scotland, called on Lord Melbourne to introduce a mea-
sure that would satisfy the moderate men of all parties. If
that were not quickly done, it would be next to impossible to
satisfy any party, and he feared it would be found that it was
beyond the power of parliament to remedy the evil.
Lord MELBOURNE replied that he was not ready to state
that the government would be able speedily to introduce a
measure on the subject, and such a measure ought not to be
introduced without due and mature consideration.

THE SULPHUR MONOPOLY.

Lord LYNDHURST drew the attention of the house to the
monopoly of the trade in sulphur.
Lord MELBOURNE said, that the strongest representation&
had been sent out, and that the British minister had been di-
rected to state to the government of Naples, that we must
insist on the fulfilment of the conditions of the treaty Lord
Lyndhurst had referred to.
Lord LYNDHURST said, that 18 months had now elapsed
since this infraction of the treaty, which was said to be the
subject of the negociation which had been proclaimed. He
should like to know what had been done during that period
to put an end to the general losses sustained by the British
merchants. He was told that it amounted to £l,OOO a day
at the lowest estimate.

Lord MELBOURNE.—We have had a promise from the
Neapolitan government, and unquestionably it now rests with
ministers to insist on the fulfilment of that promise.
Lord LYNDHURST wished to ask the noble viscount whe-
ther he did not know that the Neapolitan government in-
sisted on the continuance of the monopoly for six months
further, dating from the Ist of January last ?
Lord MELBOURNE.—No, I have never heard of such a
condition.

Lord LYNDHURST.-Six line-of-battle ships sent to
Naples would settle the matter in a fortnight. The house
then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY.

Captain Howard took the oaths and his seat for Morpeth.

BEER.

Mr. PAKINGTON brought up the sale of beer bill, which
was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time
on the 18th instant.

CHINA.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM observed, that as the papers relating
to China had not yet been laid on the table of the house by
government, be should on Thursday next move for an ad-
dress to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would be
graciously pleased to give directions that the papers relating
to the events which had led to the interruption of our com-
mercial intercourse with China, be laid before the house
forthwith.
