MORRIS THE PEDESTRIAN.—On Monday last this ce-
lebrated pedestrian walked half a mile, then ran half a
mile, walked backwards half a mile, walked backwards
and forwards half a mile, played a violin half a mile,
played a tamborine half a mile, ran a coach-wheel half a
mile, trundled a hoop half a mile, wheeled a barrow half
a mile, hopped 100 yards, and then picked up 100 stones
placed one yard apart, 50 with his mouth, and 50 with his
hands, and brought each stone to a basket. He com-
pleted this in eight minutes less than an hour.

THE PREVALENT DISEASE OF THE SEASON CURED
BY HOLLOWAY'S Pim.s.—Persons finding themselves
the least out of order should take ten of these Pills imme-
diately, no matter the hour, as they directly act on the
liver, stomach, and bowels, and in so searching and effec-
tual a manner, that bowel complaints are soon stopped,
at the same time they correct any disorder of the liver or
stomach, thus it is that officers or others from the East
or West Indies derive such immense benefit from this
fine medicine, which invigorates impaired constitutions,
inducing feelings of youthfulness and energy. The same
cured the Earl of Aldborough of a liver and stomach
com plaint.
THE POOR NOT SO BAD AS SOME THINK THEM.—
Such was the sort of life which I passed amongst these
poor children and poor people. It is true I saw and heard
some things of which it perhaps would not have been any
disadvantage had I remained ignorant for the time. But
my heart was never corrupted—never beguiled of its
childish simplicity. Nor did any of these poor people,—
and I will do them the justice to state it, ever by word
or deed, throw in my way an inducement that might lead
to vice. The great mass of the poor and unfortunate are
not, in my opinion, so vicious as by the " well-to-do"
multitude of the world they are supposed to be; and
judging from what I have seen of them, from my child-
hood to the present time, which has not been a little, I
should say they are more entitled to pity than condemna-
tion. Some, we know, are thoroughly vicious and de-
based ; but that the main body of them, struggling as
they do, daily and hourly, with want on one band, and
the allurements to vice on the other, still lean, nay, hold
strongly, by " virtue's side." and cast from them tempts-
thins of which those who judge them severely know
nothing, appears to me a truth so undeniable, that
although my humble testimony may increase its accept.
ance, I cannot expect that it will add to its force.—
Samuel Bamford's " Early Days."
LADIES SHOULD EMIGRATE.—In addition to the emit:
gratien of females to be promoted under government or
colonial auspices, it seems to me that a considerable vo-
luntary emigration might be very advantageously carried
on, if some better arrangements were made in Sydney
and Melbourne for receiving those who happen to have
no friends in the colony.—Nothing is more puzzling for
the daughter of a respectable farmer or tradesmen, left an
orphan with one, two, or three hundred pounds, to know
how to dispose of such a capital and her own services in
such a manner as to procure a comfortable and indepen-
dent living. The home-country is overwhelmed with
governesses, dressmakers, and small-ware shopkeepers.
For all these, if in stout health and of sufficiently decided
and courageous disposition, there is a much better open-
ing in the colonies than in Europe. They should place
their small fund in the bank, and if a situation does not
immediately offer, proceed to the small towns of the in-
terior, where among other valuable sources of employ-
ment, husbands are plentiful. The daughters of farmers,
who understand the dairy, could do well for themselves,
and would find this acquirement, and others like it, more
valuable than accomplishments.in the Indian market in
the old pagoda-tree-shaking days. When the mail steam
packets to Sydney are established, perhaps more conside-
rable female consigqments iv.jll be made.—Life in 4118

The Earl of Derby is daily adding to his menagerie, at
Knowsley. Mr. Whitfield has just arrived in London,
from the river Gambia, with a fine collection of antelopes
and other rare animals, several of which have never before
been seen in England, and these have been in due course
forwarded to Knowsley. Mr. Whitfield has been absent
some years in search of these rare animals.
A SLIGHT MISTAKE.—The dames of Clitheroe, young
and old, married and single, were thrown into a state of
great alarm and perplexity, last week, by an announce-
ment of the bellman that " a large quantity of black
damsels had arrived and were on sale in the market place."
They rushed to the spot, and happily found that the arti-
cles on sale were fruit—not females.
An ordination, we believe the first in Preston since the
reformation, took place in the Roman Catholic Chapel of
St. Augustine, in this town, on Wednesday morning last.
The very Rev. G. Brown, Roman Catholic Bishop of Lan-
caster was present. The Rev. J. Hardman was ordained
deacon, and to-day the ordination is to be resumed, and
Mr. Hardman will be made priest.—Preston Pilot.
THE NEW BEER ACT.—The beneficial effects of this
measure appear already to be generally felt. On Sunday
morning, almost all the beer shops in the town were kept
strictly closed till half-past 12 o'clock; and the result
was that decency and quiet prevailed where drunkenness
and disorder were too often previously to be seen.—Black-
burn Standard.
THE MURDER AT ASHTON.—The inquiry into the cir-
cumstances attending the murder of Bright, the unfortu-
nate policeman who fell a victim to the Chartists curing
the recent outbreak at Ashton, was brought to a close on
Tuesday, when the bench of magistrates, after examining
numbers of witnesses, came to the determination to com-
mit Ratcliffe, Constantine. Kenworth and Walker, as
principals in the murder ; Winterbottom as accessory after
the fact; and Scott, as accessory before the fact. At the
same time Tassaker and Sefton were committed for un-
lawfully assembling and iioting.
Thomas Curtis, collector of taxes and poor-rates for the
borough of Salford, absconded some time since with
money to the amount of between £2OOO and £3OOO. On
arriving at Boston, in America, he was proceeding up the
river, when a friend he had been intimate with stole his
cash-box, and left him and his family penniless. They
returned to England, and in a state of starvation applied
to a Manchester bank for £25, which had been deposited
there by his wife sometime previous. They paid the
money, but gave information to the police, which has led
to his apprehension.
CHESHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—This society, ,
which has hitherto been known under the name of the
" South Cheshire Agricultural Society," held its annual
meeting at Nantwich, on Wednesday last, under the able
presidency of the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Combermere.
The display of cheese, there being six competitors for the
prize, elicited general commendation. The implements
were superior to those shown in any former year. The
stock shown was not large in number, but valuable in
quality. The prevalence of disease deterred many parties
from sending stock. There were some good bulls, and
also dairy stock. The show of pigs elicited great commen-
dation, particularly the breeding sows. The show of
horses was limited.
TARVIN BAZAAR, 1848.—1 n theyear 1844, £137145. 9d.
was subscribed by the gentry, landowners, farmers, and
others, connected with the very extensive parish of
Tarvin, which is five miles east from Chester ; but the
liabilities were then nearly £2OO, thus leaving a deficiency
of upwards of £6O; and since that period an additional
expenditure has been contracted, amounting to £125, for
the enlargement of the Grammar School-house; so that,
supposing the present proceeds of the bazaar to reach
£l5O, there will still be the difference to be advanced by
some individuals ; and that most probably by the vicar or
his friends. It is, however, highly gratifying to see so
many parishioners sympathizing with their minister, and
to witness among many hundreds of spectators a liberal
supply of clothing and food ; all of which, when combined,
were elegant, substantial, and useful, and also well suited
for the various attendants. The object principally in
view was to render the ancient Free School an efficient
benefit to the farmers' sons, and to any others who may
avail themselves of such a reasonable, rational, and reli-
gious education. We need not add that the venerable
'vicar is more than delighted, and is most grateful to his
own parishioners, as well as to his friends in Cheshire,
Lancashire, &c. No language can express sufficient
praise to Mr. and Mrs. Brindley, and their assistants.

MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRICUL.

TURAL SOCIETY.

According to the terms of the amalgamation, entered
into last year by the Manchester Agricultural Society,
instituted in 1767, and the Liverpool Society, instituted
in 1830, it was farmed that the annual exhibition and
dinner should be held at Manchester and Liverpool every
alternate year, or any town in Lancashire or Cheshire,
situate within thirty miles of Newton-in-the-Willows.
In compliance with these terms, the exhibition and dinner
this year took place at Manchester, on Tuesday ; and the
most satisfactory results are anticipated from the re-union
then auspiciously commenced. -
The show-yard was situate.l on et vacant piece of ground
at the rear of the Palatine Hotel, close to the Liverpool
and Manchester Radway station. The show was some-
what inferior to that held at Liverpool last year. The
attendance of the landlords and farmers was remarkably
good. Lord Stanley and other noble lords were early in
Manchester, so also was Mr. William Brown, M.P., and
other distinguished gentlemen.
The dinner took place in the large room attached to the
Palatine Hotel, and was numerously- aed respectably at-
tended. The Right Hon. Lord STANLEY presided.
Amongst the company to the right and left of the chair,
we noticed Sir Richard Brooke, Sir Thomas Joseph Da
Trafford, Humphrey De Trafford, Esq., Cecil Trafford,
Esq., Sir B. Heywood, W. Brown, Esq., M.P., Wilson
Patten, Esq., I\LP., J. Duncroft, Esq., M.P., G. W.
Ormerod, F.G.S., John Moore, F.L.S., Peter Clare,
Esq., C. G. L. Walker, Esq., Benjamin Hampson, Esq.,
(Steward to the Earl of Wilton,) Samuel Brooks, Esq.,
R. Neilson, Esq., Isaac Picton. Esq., &c. About three
hundred and sixty persons sat down._
After the usual loyal toasts had been drunk,
The CHAIRMAN rose to give a bumper toast—the toast
of the evening—" Prosperity to the Manchester and Li-
verpool Agricultural Society ;" and began by expressing
the pleasure he felt in being called upon to preside over
this united society, an object in which he had long felt a
deep interest, feeling convinced that. she union of these
societies would tend to the mutual advantage of both of
them, and tend also to the advantage of all the local soci-
eties, because of the increase of competition and stimulus
to exertion they would create. He could not think,
whatever others might do, that a great commercial town
like Manchester was an uneopropriate situation for this
society. None knew better than the agriculturists and
the manufacturers how much they were dependent upon.
each other for their mutual prosperity. The agricultu-
rist well knew that the prosperity of the manufacturing
districts and the well-being of trade secured good cus-
tomers, an abundant market, and favourable prices. The
manufacturer knew as well that if, by the visitation of
Providence, the harvest of this country were deficient,
the consequence must be dangerous and ruinous to the
agriculturist, but that it must also affect him (the manu-
facturer) in his best and nearest point. (Loud applause.)
Therefore the two were intimately connected, and there-
fore it was that he (the noble chairman) rejoiced to think
it most appropriate that this united Liverpool and Man-
chester Society should he held in that, the great metro-
polis of British commerce. (Cheers.) He asserted that
the agriculturists in the neighbourhood of these towns
must change their system. (Applause.) They must
apply themselves more to make the most of their land—
to make the most of it by draining, cultivating, and ma-
nuring it as it ought to be drained, cultivated, and ma-
nured. (Great applause.) He did not see faci;ities for
drainage, and yet no man could look upon the A B C of
farming without being aware how much was to be done
yet, and how absolutely impossible it was to avoid all
other expenses in the shape of agricultural improvements
unless preceded by a deep, thorough, and effectual drain-
ing. (Applause.) The subject to which he wished to call
the attention of those he now addressed, and the subject
to which it was desirable the public attention should be
directed, was the use, or rather the abuse of manure, for
which these towns furnished incalculable advantages.
(Hear.) The object was to improve the health of the
inhabitants of the great towns, but the object also was to
get rid of that which, if we only knew how to economise,
could be converted to the most useful purposes. There
was no subject more worthy of their consideration—first,
as to the means of getting rid of an intolerable nuisance,
and then converting it into a source of agricultural wealth.
(Applause.) He reverted, then; to that which was more
the immediate subject of the toast. He never was present
at any agricultural show in Manchester before that day,
but the effect produced that day was this,—that if much.
had been done—and he believed much had been done—
much remained to be done. (Hear.) The specimens of
pigs were excellent. Two or three struck him as very
valuable bulls, both old and young ; and he saw con-
stantly a very great improvement in the nature and cha-
racter of the tenant-farming stock. (Hear, hear.) He
wished he could say anything upon the character of the
horses; but he believed that any man at random might
go through the streets of Liverpool and Manchester, and
find horses equal to any he bad seen at either the Liver-
pool or the Manchester exhibitions. (Hear, and applause.)
Their proceedings this year had been satisfactory. Last
year they received £lO7 for admission to their show-yard
this year they had received £143 ; and he inferred from
this a growing desire upon the part of the public to sup-
port their society. (Hear, hear.) He was also bound to
say that within his knowledge and observation there had,
in the general management of farms, in the general agri-
cultural system, in science and the practical application
of that science to the land, on the part of the tenant-
farmers of Lancashire and Cheshire, been a very great
and marked improvement in the last dozen years. (Ap-
plause.) Every well-disposed landlord must feel that the
prosperity of the tenant was the prosperity of himself,
and that it was his interest, setting aside all moral ques-
tions which ought to connect the two, that he should be
at the head, not only of a contented, but of a thriving
people. (Applause.) And whilst he did justice to the
many landlords in that district who assisted their tenan-
try, and who had testified the interest they, took in the
welfare of their tenants by their presence there that day,
he must express his regret that he had not the pleasure
of seeing there a larger proportion of the landed proprie-
tary. . (Hear, hear, and much cheering.) The noble lord
concluded an eloquent speech by proposing " The pros-
perity and welfare of the United Manchester and Liver-
pool Agricultural Society," which was drunk in bumpers,
amid enthusiastic demonstrations of applause.
The prizes were subsequently read over.
Several other toasts, principally of a complimentary
character to officers of the society, followed.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
CURE OF FISTULOUS SORES AND PLEURISY.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Robert Calvert, Stokesley, dated
September 3rd, 1847.

To Professor HOLLOWAY.
SIR,—Mr. Thompson, National Schoolmaster of this Town,
desires me to send you the particulars of his Son, who had been
bad for three years and a half, and has received the greatest
benefit by the use of your Pills and Ointment He is of a zero.
fulous constitution : a pleurisy had left a large collection of
matter in the chest ; this eventually formed a passage through
the wales of the chest, and ended in three fistulous sores which
discharged large quantities of pus, when he was induced to try
your Pills and Ointment; at this date he was apparently in a
dying condition, the stomach rejected every thing it took.
Your Pills and Ointment had the effect of completely curing
both the cough and stomach affections, his strength and fish
are also restored, his appetite keen, and digestion good. There
is every prospect that a little further continuance of your me-
dicines will finish the cure. (Signed) ROBT. CALVERT.
The " Mofussilite" Newspaper, published at Meerut, has, on
the 15th October, 1847, copied an article from he " Benares
Recorder." of which the following is an Extract :
" The Prince Of MAHARAJAH BISSONATH SINGH, Who Was
temporarily residing at Chittercote, was suddenly taken ill with
Spasmodic Colic, and during his illness His Highness often
asked for Holloway's Pills and Ointment, as he had heard much
of their virtues, but none could be obtained in the neighbour-
hood, and Professor Holloway, no doubt, unfortunately loses a
certificate which would have graced and dignified his list of
cures."
The native Princes are now using Holloway's celebrated Pills
and Ointment in preference to every other medicine, they
being so wonderfully efficacious in the cure of diseases in
India.
