IN the year 1829 I called attention to the necessity

of your securing the advantages presented by your peculiar situation.
Numbers availed themselves of the suggestion, and had good reason to be
satisfied with the result. The frightful epidemic of 1837 has induced many
to look with anxiety to the realization of the prospective bonus of 1840.
I shall be happy to give personal attention and explanations to any of the
present Holders who may favour me with a call; or to transmit written

OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
By JOHN FROST, of Philadelphia.

All historians must have their prejudices; and a consideration of this fact has given rise to the proposed Series: for what is a History of France, by an Englishman, but another version of the History of England? Has not the success of the one been the defeat of the other? Trath must be sought for by comparing the respective Histories written by THE NATIONAL HISTORIANS. It is therefore proposed to translate and publish, at such prices as will bring them within the reach of all classes, a SERIES OF these TRULY NATIONAL HISTORIES. Each Work will be complete in itself.

The first choice of spectacles is a most important one, as on it depends
the preservation of the blessing of sight. How rash, then, to entrust that
important choice to ignorant and crafty venders, who have no knowledge
of the optician's abstruse art, and are totally regardless of the injuries their
worthless spectacles inflict on the eyes. T. Harris and Sin (whose
Establishment has been patronised for sixty years) still confidently offer to
the Public their Improved Spectacles, the Crystals and Glasses of which
are ground at their own manufactory on a peculiar and highly successful
principle. By the proper adoption of this principle (so important in its
results), and through other improvements suggested by their practical
experience, T. H. and Son have succeeded in many cases where other
eminent opticians have failed. Thomas Harris and Son, Opticians, oppo-
site the British Museum. No other connexion. Established 60 years.

The high repute and immense sale of this delicate preparation has induced several would-be tradesmen (who, not having an idea of their own), to endeavour an imposition, by labeling a pot exactly like his, thereby to deceive the public and injure him, having actually applied to his printer for that purpose: well knowing they cannot prepare the Fish, the receipt being an old family one, and the secret in the curing of the Herring, by which its rancid qualities are destroyed, and it becomes so delicious a relish. It is easily detected by observing his signature, ALEX.

NOTHER proof of the efficacy of BLAIR'S

GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. Barton, Humber, Dec. 23rd, 1837. To Mr Prout, 229 Strand, London. SIR, It is about twenty-two years since I was afflicted with that most painful disease, Rheumatic Gout, and every succeeding year I have once or oftener been attacked more or less violently. I have been attended by the best inedical skill to little or no purpose; for on one occasion I was laid up twenty-three weeks; and when not afflicted I lived in continual apprehension of a fresh attack, until I tried the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which I purchased of Mr Hattersley, your Agent here, by taking a few doses of which I found inmediate relief, and a short perseverance restored me to health and strength, such as I have not had for more than twenty years. You are at liberty to publish this for the benefit of others, in any way you may think proper. I am, Sir, your THOS. MARRIS. obedient humble servant,

The great efficacy of this extraor linary medicine has produced a rapidly increasing deinand through every rank of society, and the inc eased number of testimonials from all parts of the empire, demonstrace that scarcely any discovery in medicine can be placed as is parallel.

the administration of these PILLS, since they were inade public, has ac-
quired for them a sale more extensive than any other proprietary medicine
extant; and the circumstance of their entirely obviating the necessity of
having recourse to those disgusting, nauseous, and, in many cases, highly
injurious medicines (as copaiba, cubebs, &c.) has obtained for them a repu
tation unequalled in the annals of medicine. Within three years prior
to being advertised, these pills were employed in private practice in up-
wards of 1,800 cases, many of them most inveterate, and in inany thousand
cases since, and in no one instance known to fail, or to produce those un-
pleasant symptoms so often experienced while taking copaiba, and that
class of medicines usually resorted to in those complaints. The proprietor
pledges himself that not one particle of copaiba, either resin or balsam,
cubebs, or any deleterious ingredient, enters their composition. Copaiba
and cubebs have long been the most commonly employed medicines in the
above complaints; but, from the uncertainty in their effects, together
with their utter inefficacy, in many cases, are fast declining in reputation:
and from the unpleasant symptoms invariably produced from taking co-
paiba, especially in the early stage of the complaint, many of the most
be depended upon. Many persons, after having suffered nuore from the
effects of the remedy than the virulence of the disease, and after a patient
but painful perseverance, have been compelled to relinquish its use, the
whole system having become more or less affected, and the disease as red,
if not worse, than at the commencement. As regards cubebs, it is true
that those violent effects are not experienced as while taking copaiba; but
they seldom effect a cure, unless more active medicines are administered.
The Balsamic Pills are free from any of the above objections; they act
specifically on the urinary passages; and, froin their tonic properties,
tend to strengthen the system and improve the general health. They re
quire neither confinement nor alteration of diet (except abstinence from
stimulants, where considerable inflammation exists), and, as experience
has amply proved, they will effect a cure sooner than copaiba (the dan
rerous results of which, in the inflammatory stages, are too well known
to need further cominent), or any other medicine in present use, and ov
be justly considered the only safe and efficacious remedy in all stages of
those disorders. In addition to these advantages, the very convenient for
in which this invalua preparation is offered to the public must also be
considered a desideratum.-Prepared only by M. O. Wray, at No. 118

THE CORN LAWS.

There was a passage in the lives of Cain and Abel when separation was by no means undesirable for their mutual interests-Cain, the prototype of cultivators, not being so prosperous as he could wish, and exceeding brother in the very first corn question that ever arose jealous of his corn, having laid violent hands on his in the world. In those days there was club law instead of corn law, and the agriculturist did by hand what he now does by word of mouth; but would any benignant spirit, witnessing the first fell struggle between kinsmen, have cried, "Don't separate them, they are brothers ?"

Corn Laws if, as a set off to the injury to the rest We really should be better reconciled to the of the community, they benefited the landowners, we will not say proportionably, but to any degree whatever; for we feel, as a masterly observer of mankind says, What a pity it is that those for "whose pleasure and profit mankind are to labour "and sweat, to be hacked and hewed, to be pillaged, plundered, and every way destroyed, should reap so little advantage from all the miseries they "occasion to others."

He will then refer to the rank abundance of his own episcopal condition, its pomps and vanities, and he will pray that enough may be retrenched from his excess to improve the lot of his poor brethren-the Dudley labourers and Dudley paupers, as it were, of the Church.

In building, as Mr Stanley did, on the professions of the planters, we saw that he was building on a quicksand; we perceived in this instance one of the favourite delusions of the Whigs, who hope for the action of men in opposition to their settled prejudices and opinions, and believe that slave-owners will turn emancipators, as they believe that Tory Lords will turn Reformers.

To us there appeared no middle course between slavery and liberty, no composition of forces between the whip and wages, and, in answer to the old pretence, that the slave must be qualified for freedom, we asked whether, in the mean time, the master was qualified for mastery, which seemed to us quite as important a question.
