The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.

This excellent Medicine, so universally. esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or inconvenience, and hundreds
have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was
first introduced.

Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow-
ing testimonials :

Well-street, Cripplegerfe.
n,--I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from
pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could I
move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me-
dical attendant he ha.' applied all the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
. . _ .

. .
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis-
appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room,
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi-
cine was enabled to leave Loodon. Fearful of another attack,
you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant,

" u,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr.
Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted
by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was
compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and whosecase was considered en-
tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and
being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me
to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining
little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam
very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit
1 derived: after a few days' application the use of my limbs are
perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend Inv business,
nd, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my
life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their
case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial,
feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their
limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine.
Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to
hose who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades-
man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and
brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to
make it known to these afflicted, to evince how grateful I am
for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly,
GEORGE POLLARD.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL

Don Carlos has made his escape from Paris.
The Earl of Elgin has bee❑ gazetted as Governor of

Canada.
Galionani says that a nephew of Abd-el-Kader, now at
school at Pas,y, in the coude of an examination, distin-
guished himself in the history of France.—His uncle has
done the same.

--Luther's original letter to the Archbishop of ikiag,de-
burgh, protesting against the sale of indulgences, has been
discovered at Stockholm ; it bears the date of October 31,
1517.

The gamekeepers and noblemen of Germany have the
right of firing at poachers, if the latter do not throw down
their guns on tt e first summons ; and two men have just
been shot at Luneburg, in Hanover, under these circum-
stances.

Dreadful havoc has been committed among the sheen-
flocks of Van Diemen's Land, by numbers of wild and
ferocious dogs, which rush upon the animals like wolves,
and immediately destroy them. One farmer has lost
1,000 sheep, and another 700.
The principal streets and shops in Turin are now lighted
at night by gas made from Newcastle coal, which is
shipped to Genoa, and costs, including carriage to Turin,
about three guineas a ton. At the beginning of October
nest, the whole city will be illuminated by gas.

THE EXPENSE TO THE FRENCH OF -ALGERIA.—The
sacrifice of men is proved by some very correct statistical
accounts which have been kindly communicated to me.
I find that the average mortality during fi'teen years is
100 men per day, in consequence of sickness or the fire
of the enemy; making an annual loss of 36,500 indivi-
duals ; consequently, during these fifteen years since the
occupation, France must have lost 547,500 men.—Count
St. Marie.

The laws of intoxication are enforced with great rigour
in Sweden. Whoever is seen drunk is fined, for the first
offence three dollars ; for the second, six ; for the third
and fourth, a still larger sum ; and is also deprived of the
right of elections, and of being appointed a representa-
tive. He is, besides, publicly exposed in the prish
church on the following Sunday. For repetitions of the
same offence, the punishment is imprisonment with bard
labour.

A company bag just been formed for the navigation of
the Volga by steam. A Dutch engineer, named Rontgen,
constructed an iron steamer, of 250-horse power, only
drawing two feet and a half f water, and had it conveyed
in pieces to Rybinsk, %here it was joined together and
launched. It has been c died the Volga, and is employed
in towing vessels of a peculiar construction to suit the
ricer. The dis'anc from Rybinsk to Samora was done
in the fir,t trip in ten days and a half, which formerly

took between three and fOur months

Cape of Good Hope papers to the 24th of June inclusive
have just arrived, which put us in possession of four days'
later news from the scene of war. The information con-
veyed is brief, but important, as it shows that no more
fighting had taken place at Fort Peddie or its neighbour-
hood, nor, indeed, was any serious engagement expected.
Reinforcements were arriving, and the Governor-General
was only waiting the concentration of all the Burgher
forces, when he intended promptly to act on the offensive,
the result of which, we trust, will be the complete sub-
jugation of the Kaffir tribe.
The New York correspondent of the Morning Chronicle
states that a very novel use of the magnetic telegraph has
lately been made—no less than a marriage with the bride
and bridegroom two hundred miles apart during the cere-
mony. A. young gentleman is now in England, on busi-
ness for one of the wealthiest merchants of Boston, who
became the son-in-law of his employer the day before he
sailed from New York under the following circumstances :
—The business trip to England was contrived by the fa-
ther to separate the lovers, while a marriage with another
gentleman should be forced upon the lady. The clerk
who had won her heart chanced to be in New York on a
temporary errand, when the orders were sent to him to
embark for England without returning to Boston. The
lady entered immediately into conversation with him by
telegraph, and it was finally suggested and arranged that
he should take his stand with a magistrate in the telegraph
office at New York, and she with her confidential friend
at the other end of the wire in Boston. This was done,
and the marriage ceremony was duly performed by light-
ning. The bridegroom sailed, (a little over a month ago,)
and the secret was kept until last week, when some fresh
crowJing of the rival 10"-- lac' -f'

duced a disclosure. M
