O'CONNELL.

Daniel O'Connell's health is rapidly filling 1t
seems now pain for him to make speech in
the House of Commons on behalf of Ireland. and
which he does so, it is delivered in such timid
weak. and subdued tone, that one can hardly re-
cognise in his person the great and popular agia-
tor who harangued the countless thousands on the
Hill of Tara, and Mullaghmas,-whu led on his
marshalled bands throughout three provinces, in
defiance of the monarch's denunciations, and the
almost unanimous opinions of both Houses of Par.
lament. But time has made traces upon his
constitution and from the general report it would
seem that he now requires ease, and relief from
the and tolls of public life.

THE CASE OF DIR. F. HoLLICK.

We rejoice 10 learn that the malicious prosecu-
ton, got up in Philadelphia agaiost this public
benefactor of suffering humanity has been quash-
ed by the Judge, Parsons, after hearing the evil
dence produced to sustain the prosecution and per-
secution, and ordered Immediately a verdict of
" not guilty. to be entered. We have watched
this case with some interest and we have seen
most honorable certificates, from hundreds of the
ladies of Philadelphia, who have attended d. H's
lectures published in the papers of that city. The
science ofobstetrics, surgery and midwifery have
been kept mystery too long foe the benefit of the
craft, and this important science DR.. II. has de-
termned to make plain aad simple, so all may
understand and prevent the great destruction Of
life, which flowed from this very ignorance, and
because he has taken upon himself to perform
this godlike work of humanty, the miserable
deciples of mammon. have endea voured to strike
him down. Again, we say, we rejoice that he has
triumphed over his enemies, and The enemies Of
light and knowledge.

THE VALUE OF MONEY.

1t was Alexander SlidslI Mackenzie, who said
the reason he hung young Spencer, for mutny on
board the brig Somers, was, because if he got
in the United States, money and influence would
save him." 1t was melancholy truth of which
experience has in all times furnished abundant
testimony. 1t is trite adage that - laws are
like cobwebs they catch the small flies, but the
large ones break through Money is a great
solvent. 1t sofiens the rigor of prison discipline,
as we find in The case of Madame Costello-who
was lately convicted of one of the most Infamous
offences that blacken the pages of crime. Money
strained the law in the case of Mike Walsh, and
sent him to the Pententary for a misdemeanor,
when that institution is only intended for the in
generation of individuals-but read the following

members of firm of manufacturers in the west

and standing well before the community. The

COlletOn Ritters.

NHESE Blttefs are purely pegefGbfe com
- pound, and are offered to the public from
principle of benevolence under the fullest convic-
ton that they will be found safe and sovereign
;emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
,hantly tested, not only by some Of the most
spectacle families and physicians in the State Of
south Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
mony as to their decided excellence, but also by the
proprietor who for ten years. suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Btters, Of not proving injurious by con-
tinued use. They contain not single deleterous
ingredient and as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the month.
In accordance with your request that would
give my opinion concerning the "Coletin bitters,"
which have both taken myself and used in my
practice, it affords me pleasure in being able to
sert that entertain for it mo high and exalted
opinion, as being medicine well calculated 10 give
relief and even cure the disease for which it s is
aued and has become notorious, namely, Dyspepsia.
I know Of no other compound Of medicine which is,
as dyspeptic remedy, more often attended with
such gratifying and pleasing result substituting
for disease good health, for melancholy and OPP
pressed heart and mind cheerfulness and sprghtli-
ness of intellect.
| know Of one case in particular in which ColIe-
ton Bitters were peculiarly applicable. After the
unavailing attendance of the most respectable ar"
scientific physicians, and having postponed travelling
as dernier resort when the patient was too debi-
tated to undertake the task, these btters (by the
consent of the attending physician) were resoried
to, and by persevering continuance, attended with
the most unlocked for and happy effects-changing
family Of distress and afiiction to one Of hapP,.
ness, preserving for the infants the guardian eye of
mother, and for husband the only comfort and
happiness Of his life Colieton Bitters believe to
be an invaluable medicine in family practice, being
highly useful in the cholc complaints during dentl-
tion. Although preudiced against patent medicines
in this instance cannot but have favorable oPin-
ion. judging Of its virtues only by the good see re-
suIting from ite use. With respect,

FALL GRAFrING.-Capt. Josiah Lovet, dis
tinguished for his success in grating superior
vegetables and fruits, has given in the Maya

by which he is enabled 70 get fine fruit from

Your remarks in the November number of
the Magazine for l843, page 423 respecting
my mode Of procuring the specimens Of fruit
presented on several occasions at the Horiicul-
tural Society rooms, last autumn, is partly in
correct; they were not procured by budding
but by grating. have practised budding with
fruit buds some eight years, and occasionally
succeeded in getting good fruit from them. II
is now three years since have begun grating
with fruit wood in autumn, (and never heard
of any person attempting it previous to that
time, thus far have been eminently success
full with the pear and apple, (occasionly with
the plumb:) the gratis thus set have been more
certain to mature their fruit than the trees from
which the gratis were cut, this can only be ac-
counted for by supposng the sap to flow slow
