The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle
stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life,
and is, therefore, calculated to afford decided relief to those
who have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such
persons the appetite is generally defective, and the relish of
life is almost subdued ; they are wanting in that activity of
mind and energy of conduct which their affairs require; and
partly from conscious weakness, partly from excessive appre-
hensions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature
grave. It is for these that Messrs. PERRY and Co.,
Surgeons, particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of
SYRIACUM.

Whatever enriches the blood, without inflaming it ; what-
ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous
system ; whatever frees and disburdens the viscera and other
important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and
throws off viscid humours ; whatever strengthens the general
habit, and brings back the muscular fibres to their natural
and healthy tone ; whatever is calculated to produce in a
considerable degree all or any of these effects, must be,
under certain modifications and restrictions, equally adapted
to every species of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm
of Syriacum makes a direct attack upon the many-headed
hydra in one quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly
or collaterally, to almost every other; in short, the debility
of nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent me-
dicine, for its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility ;
• .1, stimulating balsamic stomachic qualities—its
)f the blood—and, above all, the complete invi-
te nervous system, whereby the whole faculties
e restored to their proper power and functions, and
the fallen fabric of life is raised up to beautY, consistency,
and duration, upon the ruins of an emaciated and premature
decay, to sound and pristine health.

purification

As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the
constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknow-
ledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings,
loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling
or shaking of the hands or.limbs, obstinate cough, shortness
of breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses wonderful
efficacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head-ache, weakness,
heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused
thoughts, wanderings of the mind, vapours, and melancholy ;
and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed
by its use.

Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women,
are under its immediate influence. Old coughs, asthmas,
and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily
cured. Poverty of blood, and emaciated limbs, will, ere
long, meet the happiest change ; the chill, watery fluid will
become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with
flesh. firm and healthy.

WRECK OF THE STEAMER MONK, NEAR CARNA R-
VON-TWENTY (OR MORE) LIVES LOST.

We regret to state that the steamer Monk, belongin4 to

this port, and recently placed on the station between it and
Carnarvon, was totally lost on the night of Saturday last,
on the north bar of the latter port ; and that at least twenty,

if not more individuals, (for the accounts as yet received
differ on this point,) perished by the disaster. The follow-

ing announcement of the melancholy fact was

posted a

Underwriters'-room, and the Exchange-room, soon afte
12 o'clock yesterday, and may be considered authentic so fa

as could be ascertained at the time :
" The Monk (steamer) from Portynllaen to this port, with
pigs and butter, was lost during a heavy gale on Saturday

air-way

uoy, Uarnaryou-

Four men

saved themselves in their (the vessel's) boat; two men were
saved by the life-boat ; and the remaining twenty persons
who were on board perished, owing to the heavy sea washing
over them. The two men alluded to were saved by the ex-
ertions of Captain Jones, of the smack Diligence, who, on
seeing the signal-lights of distress in the steamer, imme-
diately obtained a horse, and galloped several miles for the
life-boat--succeeded in mustering a crew, and was alongside
the wreck in a very short time. The sea was running very
high, and it was only by great exertions that the two men
were saved."

We have been favoured by Mr. Jones, Master of the Ex-
change Newsroom, with the original letter addressed to him
by Captain Jones, of the Diligence, who exerted himself in
so praiseworthy a manner. It corroborates the facts
stated :

" Newborn', near Carnarvon, Jan. 81h,1842.
"SIR,—I beg of you to announce the loss of the steamer
Monk, bound from Portynllaen to Liverpool, with 140 pigs,
2 fat cows. and £6OO worth of butter, and by which twenty
lives were lost. Seeing her lights on Saturday night, I went

down early in the morning, for the purpose of rendering some
assistance. I went on horseback near the wreck, and, to my
, saw persons moving on it. I immediately galloped

surprise

upwarus or ruree roues Tor the nre-noat, and 1 n 1
crew, and went on board, and saved two persons

le sea running high, it was impossible
to get them out. On Saturday night (when she struck) four
saved themselves by coming ashore in the boat. The place
where the vessel stranded was opposite the Fair-Way Buoy,
inside of Carnarvon Bar. The captain threw himself over-
board, when the life-boat was in sight, thinking to swim

astiore, but prim We picked him up on board the life-boat,
quite dead, ami the body is now lying in our church, waiting
an inquest.

I am, Sir, &e., your humble servant,

riter, after stating that the Skimmer, the Vale,
nd the Snowdon (steamers of this port) had all experienced
be effects of the gale, but without loss, and that the first
steamer had got aground, and would be neaped, says

"It has been awfully otherwise with the Monk. In re-
turning from Portdinllaen yesterday, she struck on the North
Bank, about six o'clock, being nearly low water at the time.
The engine immediately became disabled, and she stuck fast.
They shortly after, being apprehensive of danger, showed
lights and burnt a tar barrel as signals to the Llanddwyn
life-boat, but she having been at Carnarvon yesterday, the
crew were in returning obliged to leave her at Abermenai,
so that when the signals were observed, and an attempt was
made to reach the vessel, it was found impossible to do so
against a strong flood tide and head wind, and the melan-
choly consequence was, that the vessel going to pieces, 22 or
24 persons perished, and only six were saved. The pigs,
cows, butter and wreck are strewed about the Straits.
Four of those saved got into a small punt, about two hours
after she struck ; and, though they were once capsized, even-
tually got safe o❑ shore. Two others were saved this morn-
ing,,on part of the wreck, by the life-boat.

The body of Captain Hughes is, as yet, the only one found.
He jumped overboard to endeavour to swim ashore, although
the Life-boat was seen, and was overpowered, after getting
into shallow water scarcely sufficient to cover him, and was,
at the time, on his hands and knees, most probably in a state
of insensibility. I believe he had no person on board ac-
quainted with the bar. Perhaps you wilLhave inquiries about
the circumstance. I give you the names of those saved.

Among those drowned is a son of Mr. James, the officer

vessel belonging to Liverpool."

The Monk was formerly a river boat, plying between
Liverpool and Monk's Ferry, and was, we learn, recently
purchased by Captain Andrew Jones and others, for the
Welsh trade in stock and passengers. It is stated that a
considerable number of the unfortunate persons on board
perished (some of them, it is said, in the hold) from exposure
to the weather and the waves. The greater part, it is added
were the owners of the pigs, butter, &c., which they had
left their homes to dispose of in this market.

CHEAP LITERATURE. —We learn that nearly 100,000
copies of " Dickens' Notes " have been already sold, princi-
pally at 121 cents each. This great amount of demand for a
trashy brochure, effectually destroys a taste for American
literature. People can only read or buy a certain kind of
literature. If that quantity is supplied so cheaply, none will
purchase a higher priced kind. This is reason enough for an
international copyright law.—American Paper.
THE LATE BANKRUPTCY CHANGES.—The Legal Ob-
server, of the 24th ult., contains an article on these changes ;
" the mischief arising from them, and the duty of the pro-
fession as to them." The writer says—" The country, it is
manifest, will be robbed of thousands, by the scandalous in-
crease of expenditure this scheme must occasion, to put hun-
dreds into some new-made pockets; and the obstacles thus
imposed, must, in a great measure, prevent the very applica-
tion of the brankrupt law ; and, where they do not absolutely
prevent its application, must so impede its working as to
render the remedy almost worse than the disease." He then
goes on to enumerate the objectionable features of the mea-*
sure, for which we must refer to the article itself.
EXEMPTION OF CHURCHES FROM ASSESSMENTS.—That
parish churches have, from time immemorial, been exempt
from all local assessments, as well as remarkable for being
entitled to remission of duties on materials used in their erec-
tion, such as glass, timber, bricks, &c., are facts so well
known that they need not be here repeated. The public,
however, until very lately, were not perhaps aware that, by
a recent decision in the Court of Exchequer, churches'erec-
ted by private individuals, and for private advantages, as
well as those by voluntary subscriptions, are also privileged,
not only to the above, but to a much greater extent. In
proof, a case was lately brought before the judges of the ex-
chequer involving the question, whether a church erected by
a private individual, and the rents of the pews in such mort-
gaged,—whether the mortgagee in such instance was liable
to the expenses incurred by the commissioners of police in"
the paving and sewering of certain streets surrounding the
church, in common with all other owners and mortgagees
of property in the township, in proportion to the extent of
their respective properties ? After a long argument, it was
decided (in the exchequer)' that the mortgagee was not
liable. The sum claimed in this case (All Saints' Church,
Chorlton-upon-Medlock) by the surveyors of Chorlton was
nearly £4OO.

FIRE.—REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE: St. Michael's
Manse, Dumfries, is at present under repair, though Dr.
Wallace and his family still continue to occupy part of it.
On Wednesday, the men who are engaged in the work, on
returning after dinner to the manse, perceived the smell of
fire. and observed smoke issuing from an apartment usually
occupied by the cook, who at present is on a visit to her
parents, in consequence of bad health. On entering the
chamber the workmen found a trunk, belonging to the absent
girl, almost completely consumed away by a smouldering
fire; the whole trunk and its contents being one charred
and red-hot mass. On breaking down this mass, to see if
they could save anything from being destroyed, they found
two halfpennies completely run and soldered together—such
had been the intense heat within. Fortunately, the trunk
was standing almost wholly on the hearth-stone; and so the
fire had reached the floor only on one side. The wood how-

ever, was fairly kindled ; and in half an hour more, the
whole house would have been in flames. At its present stage
however, the fire was easily got under. The family were
immediately apprised of the circumstance • but none of them
could account for the origin of the fire. It was suggested,
however, by a fellow servant, that the cook was in the habit
of using lucifer matches, and might have kept them in her
trunk, and they might have ignited of themselves in some
manner.—Mmtries Herald.
