IMPORTANT TO LADIES.
EARSLEY'S ORIGINAL WIDOW WELCH'S
IX FEMALE PILLS, so long and justly celebrated for
their peculiar virtues, are strongly recommended to the no-
tice of every lady; having obtained the sanction and appro-
bation of most Gentlemen of the Medical Profession, as a
safe and valuable Medicine in effectually removing obstruc-
tions, and relieving all other inconveniences to which the
female frame is liable, especially those which, at an early
period of life, frequently arise from want of exercise and ge-
neral debility of the system : they create an appetite, correct
indigestion, remove giddiness and nervous headache, and are
eminently useful in windy disorders, pains in the stomach,
shortness of breath, and palpitation of the heart: being per-
fectly innocent, may be used with safety in all seasons and
cli mates.

The following is the opinion of Dr. Osborne, an eminent
practitioner of Dublin, and Physician to Sir Patrick Dunn's,
and the Mercers' Ilospital. In one of his recent lectures,
reported in the Dublin Medical Journal, he makes the fol-
lowing remarks on this Medicine :
" THE WIDOW WELCH'S PH.T.s.—These Pills have an
extensive sale, and are in high and long-established repute,
as an effectual remedy in removing obstructions, &c. in
females. One of them was given to a young lady under my
care, with the desired effect following on the same night ;
and three other cases came to my knowledge, in which
similar result followed their use."
It is necessary to inform the Public that KEARS-
LEI"S is the only ORIGINAL and GENUINE MEDI-
CINE of this description ever made, and has been prepared

particularly requested to remark, that, as a testimony of
authenticity, each Bill of Directions contains an affidavit,

and each box is wrapped in white paper.

I:RANSNIISSION OF GOLD AND SILVER TO THE COUNTRY.
—Great praise is due to the Directors of the Bank of Eng-
land and government for the speedy supply of gold and
silver coinage they have transmitted to the disturbed dis-
tricts and the branch banks, in case there should be a run
upon the savings' banks for " Gold, gold." Since Monday
a very large amount of specie has been sent down to Man-
chester, Birmingham, Liverpool, and the north
the
populace in exchange for their orders and notes.
FRAUDS AT THE LONDON CUSTOM-HOUSE.—An impor-
tant inquiry is now pending at the Custom-house, connected
with fraud to a great extent on the revenue having been corn.
mitted by parties holding high and responsible situations.
Already seven officers have been suspended. One of the
party has absconded.
There is now living in this.county. a map named Ripley,
who for the last 80 years (without intermission) has taker;
out a hawker's license, and has consequently paid to govern-
ment upwards of £3OO. This patriarchal hawker still travels
the country, although he is now at the advanced age of 103
The above fact was related to Mr. Taylor, stamp distributor'
of this town, by a grandson of the aged Ripley, who also
exercises the same calling.--Sussex Advertiser.
