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 apprehensions, are liable to sink
despondently into a premature grave. It is for these that
Messrs. PERRY & Co., Surgeons, particularly designed
their CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM.
Whatever enriches the blood without inflaming it;
whatever braces without stimulating too violently the
nervous system ; whatever frees and disburdens the vis-
cera and other important organs; whatever resolves ob-
structions, and throws off viscid humours ; whatever
strengthens the general habit, and brings back the mus-
cular 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 de-
cay. 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 col-
laterally, to almost every other ; in short, the debility of
nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent
medicine, for its reanimating powers almost exceed cre-
dibility ; its fine, rich, stimulating, balsamic stomachic
qualities—its purification of the blood—and, above all,
the complete invigorator of the nervous system, whereby
the whole faculties become 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.

As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish
the constitution, so there is nothing more generally ac-
knowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward
wastings, loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spi-
rits, trembling, or shaking of the hands or limbs, ob-
stinate cough, shortness of breath, or consumptive habits.
It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis,
fits, head-ache, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spi-
rits, 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.
Sold in Bottles, price ]]s. each, or the quantity of four
in one Bottle for 335., by which one 11s. Bottle is saved.
Messrs. PERRY expect, when consulted by letter, the
usual fee of one pound, without which no notice whatever
can be taken of the communication (postage pre-paid).

ated constitutions to pristine health and vigour.

Alexander Oswald, Esq-, was, on Thursday, elected
member of parliament for the county of Ayr, without
opposition. The proceedins lasted only a very short
time.

There bas been an extraordinary demand for copies of
Dr. Pusey's sermon. Upwards of 3,000 copies have been
sent to Ireland. Two editions of 6,000 each have been
printed ; and a third edition, it is expected, is just about
to issue.

ACT RELATIVE TO CANADIAN WHEAT.--By the act
6 and 7 Vic. cap. 29, it is enacted that from and after the
10th October next foreign wheat imported into Canada to
pay the duty of 3s. per quarter; and on the importation
into the United Kingdom of wheat the produce of Canada,
the duty of Is. per quarter to be charged ; and for every
barrel, being 106 lbs of wheat flour, produce of Canada, a
duty equal to 381 gallons of such wheat

THE WEATHER.—Fair weather has again returned,
with a prospect of continuance. Saturday and yesterday
were fine warm days, and the barometer is rising. The
thermometer in the shade, yesterday, averaged 68 de-
grees. The accounts from the country show that the late
heavy rains were pretty general ; but it does not appear
that any serious damage has been done to the grain crops,
though there are spots in which the wheat is considerably
laid.—Morning Herald.

STRIKE OF THE MEN EMPLOYED AT THE GREAT
COPPER WORKS NEAR SWANEA.—On Friday,the town
was greatly excited by a report that thousands of men
employed in the copper works:had struck, owing",to' the in-
tended reduction of wages, to the amount of 12i rer cent.,
and were hovering round the neighbouring hills. The
report turned out correct. And this proceeding on the
part of men, who really. in the

r___ Au Luc picbciii, stare or trade, re-
ceive large wages, are paid weekly, and not subjected to
Tommy shops or truck, appears to all but themselve most
absurd. Even with the reduction they would receive
nearly £1 per week, whilst the poor colliers in the hill
districts are, to my knowledge, not averaging more than
7s. and a eraction per week. Many of these poor crea-
tures, who have large families: aro literally working in a
state of starvation,
