To PERSONS GOING ABROAD

These Pills are particularly recommended to all persons
going abroad, 9T1,1 subjecting themselves to great change of
climate. OFFICERS OF THE ARMY AND NAVY, MISSIONA-
RIES, EMIGRANTS, &c., will find them an invaluable appen-
dage to their medicine chests, as a preventive of the attacks of
those diseases so prevalent in our Colonies, especially in the
West Indies, where a small box recently sold for 10s. In Ame-
rica also the fame is getting known, and its virtues duly appre-
ciated, causing an immense demand for it; and there is no
country or port in the world where it will not speedily become
an article of extensive traffic and general utility, as it may be
had recourse to in all cases of sickness, with confidence in its
simplicity, and in its power to produce relief.

The good old days when the yule log shed its cheerful
blaze at Christmas-eve upon joyous hearths,—when the
cake and the fermenty were shared amongst the assembled
family, and the mistletoe and the holly branch decked
each festive board, and hung from every roof, have not
been entirely obliterated from the minds of the present
generation, as might have been seen by any one who on
Saturday visited our marAets, or their vicinities. Not a
home, we believe. has 'teen without its "'bit of Christ-

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, DEC. 29

During the present week the transactions reported in Wheat
are trifling in amount, and at about last week's prices. Barley
a dull sale, and rather lower. In Beans and Oats no alteration.
At Wolverhampton to-day there was a moderate sale for Wheat
at 225. to 225. 6d. per bag for fine qualities, being the currency
of this day se'nnight.

HULL CORN MARKET, DEC. 28

There was at to-day's market a good supply of Wheat from
our own farmers, condition good, and -last week's prices sup-
ported, without our being able to quote an advance ; the same
may be said of foreign Wheat, which is held with much firm-
ness. Barley offering so plentifully, must be called Is. cheaper.
Oats unaltered. But little doing in Beans, and only hard dry
samples looked at. More inquiry for Peas, especially the finer
qualities. Linseed supports its price ; Cakes fetch full prices,
but the sales are more retail than lately. No change in the va•
lue of either Rapeseed or Cakes.

few low trees or Hide underbrush interferewwith one's
movements, and very rarely is the path intercepted by a
fallen log. But about toe trees cling huge snake-like
vines, winding round and round the trunks, and through
the branches, sending their long arms, binding tree to
tree. Sometimes they throw down long feelers, which

swing in mid air until they reach the ground, when, tak-
ing root, they in their turn throw out arms that cling to
the first support. In this way the whole forest is linked
together, and a cut tree rarely falls without involving the
destruction of many others. This creeping vine is called
sepaw, and, having the strength and flexibility of rope, is
of inestimable value in the construction of houses, and for
various other purposes. Around the tree-trunks clasp
those curious anomalies, parasitic plants, sometimes

tree.
