STiy £ XS & CO. feel it their duty, at the approaching season, to remind their friendsand the public, of the especial vaiue of their ORIGINAL GREEN GINGER WINE, as an efficient remedy against stomach and bowel attacks. The highest medical authorities, amongst whom are Dr Pritchard, Dr. Fox, Dr. Symmonds, the late Dr. Riley. William Hraparh, Esq., and Dr. Maiden, have given ample testimonials in its favour, which would be published and appended to each bottle, but that it would incur the adoption of the medicine stamp, in avoiding which, the public are enabled to obtain this valuable article at a moderate price. In cases of dvspepsia, it will be found a valuable stomachic, whilst the carminative property derived from the Green Ginger renders it not only safe and beautiful, but a most delightful and refresh- ing summer beverage when diluted with water. From its well. known character and superioiity, it is unnecessary to make any further comment. Stivens and Co. confidently recommend it as a certain remedy in cases of an attack of the present alarm- ing and wide spreading disease and also a valuable preventa- tive against it. Observe the envelope over the cork,with signa- ture, as fraud and imitation have been frequently practised. N. B. Stivens' Orange Tonic and Concentrated Essence of Green Ginger will be found extremely useful. May be obtained of Mr. Henry Sheppard. Grocer, Newport. Mr. J. Ewins, jun., Confectioner, Newport.

Price, FOURPENCE Stamped' FiVEPEN'CE to "o Free by Post, and in time for transmission to all parts of the country by the early trains or morning mails of the same dayo. (Monthly Parts, containing four or five numbers, Is. 4d. or Is. 8d.) So long held in high public estimation, the Literary Gazette continues to afford a complete view and record of the National literature, science, and the fine arts, with the addition of Foreign intelligence on the same subjects from every part of the civilized world. It has, also, of late, made liberal improvements in the various branches which its plan has embraced. In every department of literature peculiar to learned research, medical practice, philosophy, important works in Foreign languages, &c., iC. in addition to publications of more general character:—in science, voyages, travels, history, poetry, the fine arts, drama- tic and musical criticism, gentlemen of ability and experience in these matters have been incorporated with the regular staff of the JorKNAL OP BELLES LETTRES, and under the same editorial supervision which has, from 1817, sustained its reputation and influence and it is consequently hoped that increased energy and talent will be manifest throughout the whole, and a weekly sheet acknowledged which may justly challenge comparison with the greatest and best of periodical publications. During the current year, the most interesting papers on the earliest records of the human race, philological investigations of the highest importance, and antiquarian discoveries and proceedings at home and abroad, have formed a very prominent feature in nearly every weekly number. Of these, and all other literary matters, this Journal is, in fact, the only comprehensive exponent in the periodical press and members of literary and scientific societies, as well as intelligent readers of every class, who reside in remote parts, may through its columns be promptly made acquainted with everything that is done or heard of at head quarters. For rising families, it is peculiarly adapted, as it conveys instruction of every practical and intellectual kind, mingled with the more amusing literature which is calculated to attract and interest youthful minds, till they are filled with the information and knowledge of the passing time. May be ordered of any bookseller or newsman in town or countrv, or at the Literary Gazette publishing and advertising office, No. 3CO, Strand, London; where also the yearly subscription of 21 s 8d., or, half-yearly, JOs. lOd. may be paid, by post office order or town reference, and the Literary Gazette, stamped for the country or colonies, will be regularly forwarded by post; or, if in monthly parts, at 17s. 4d. per annum, with the monthly periodicals.

THE POPOLAR REMEDY. PARR'S LIFE PILLS. GOOD HEALTH is one of the greatest blessings in human life with- out it success in any undertaking must be of doubtful issue. To those of sedentary habits, and whose employment is necessarily more of a mental than of a physical nature, good health although seldom possessed by them is nevertheless an almost indispensable requisite. Some con- stitutions and dispositions require an active use of the muscles of the body; deny them this, and nature resents the offence by sinking into melancholy ^nd ripening. Students, Teachers. Clergymen, an,] otflerSi whose care and most anxious thought are constantly being called fjrth', can hope for but little pleasure in ttieir high and important undertaking; unless seconded by a proper buoyancy of spirit and vigour of mind. To secure this, then, becomes the first consideration of every individual- and the fine balsamic preparation, P ARR LIFE PILLS, of all mes dicines, is without dispute the best calculated to produce a fine flow of animal spirits, a clear hi-ai, and a ready perception. The extraordinary properties of this medicine ate thus desribed by an eminent physician, who says :—" After particular observation of the action of PARR'S PILLS, 1 am determined, in my opinion, that the following are their true properties First—They increase the strength, whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twenty-four hours, and, instead of having weakened, they will be found to have revived, the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body. Secoridl Y-in their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect; tho disease upon you will become less and less by every dose you take; an if you will persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day, vour disease will speedily be entirely removed from the system.^ None are Genuine, unless the words "PARRS LIFE P1LA.S,' are in White Letters on a Red Ground, on a Government Stamp, round each box; also, the fac-simile of the Signature of the Proprie o T.

For the encouragement of a spirit of emulation, and for the inducement of habits of industry, prizes are awarded to the excelling pupus, and the increased large number of rewards, for good conduct alone, given at the close of the last half-year, strongly evinces the moral efficiency of Mrs. Baker's system, which is founded on religious principles..

Murder of a Clillci by its Mother, at WestlMiry, Wilts. Considerable excitement has prevailed in the town of West- bury, during the wed;, in consequence 01 the exhumation of the body of a child, whuse death is supposed to have been occasioned bv the administration of arsenic by its mother. Rebecca Smith, the wile of Phillip Smith, labourer, of Westbury, has been married eighteen years, and has given birth to eleven children, all of whom, except the eldest, have died in their infancy. The last chiKl, Richard Smith, was born on the 16th ot May, and died on the 12th June. Seme suspicions having arisen, the body was exhumed under a coroner's warrant, on Saturday last, when a post modem exa- mination was made by Mr. G. Shorland, surgeon, ot West- bury, in the presence of Mr. Gibbs, another surgeon. Te result convinced those gentlemen of the presence ot arsenic in the stomach of the deceased child, and the vicera was ac- cordingly submitted to Mr. Herapath, the eminent chemist, of Bristol, for lurther analyzation. A jury was sworn before G. Sylvester, Esq., one of the coroners for Wiltshire, when evidence .vas given of the dentity of the body of the deceased chiid. Prudence Mead also deposed that on the 7th of June (to- days before the child died), the mother came to her and reo quested her to accompany her to the shop of Mr. Taylor, druggist, of Westbury, to purchase some arsenic, which she said"her oister. who lives at Bratton, near Westbury, wanted to destroy some rats which inlested her house. The purchase of the poison was also proved by Mr. Taylor's apprentice, who served her with it properly labelled, and at the same time warning her of its deadty properties. The inquiry was then adjourned till yesterday. On its being resumed, Phillip Smith. father of the deceased child, deposed that bi3 wife Is,illy had the nursing and feeding of it that it was perfectly healthy when born and that he did not derive any pecuniary benefit from its death. Mr. H ercpath proved the presence of arsenious acid, and arsenic in tt,e c"n:fnts of the child's stomach. After some other evidence was given,the coroner (addressing Rebecca Smith) said —Have you any statement you wish to make to the gentlemen of the Jury in this case ? The Prisoner.—No, Sir. The Coroner then recapitulated the evidence to the Jury and the Louit having been cleared for a short time, they returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Rebecca Smith, who was thereupon committed to take her trial at the ensuing W ilts assizes. ° 1 he P'^oner is a forbidding-looking woman, from forty- five to i y years of age. and maintained the most stolid in- d'wre"CK- r°Ughout t»ie whole proceedings.

A WORD TO APPRENTICES.—Apprenticeship is the most im- portant state through which a mechanic is called to pas it is emphatically the spring season o his days the time when he is sowing the seed, the fnu so w c 1 he is to reap in after vears. If hs spate no labour in 1 s cu ure, he is sure of obtaining an abnndant harvest; but if, in_the culture of the mental soil, he follow the example of many in og he earih, and carelessly and negligently do his work, 1 e e will find the seeding time past, and his ground nringtng for.h only weeds and briers. Let the apprentice bear m mind, when he commences learn- ing any business, that all hopes of success in the future are doomed to fade like morning mist, unless he improves the golden eason. Let him bear in tnind that he can become master of is business only through the cloldt application-

TO CO Fi RESPONDENTS. An account of the presentation of a testimonial to a popular Preacher shall appear in our next impression. Mr. Davis's letter reached us on going to press.—Next week. We shall net week the communication in reference to the presentation of plate to James Beaumont, Esq., late manager of the Victoria work9.

LOCAL RAILWAY COMMUNICATION. AMONG the various lines of road which we have from time to time advocated, as conducive to the general good, and as particularly calculated to promote the advantage of this district, a northward route which connecting the Severn with the Mersey, should enable the important mining, agricultural, and commercial districts, through which it would pass, to interchange their varied produc- tions with facility, has not been forgotten. Recent move- ments having- again brought the subject into more imme- diate notice, and the gloom which has so long hung over the railway world being now, we believe, in course of slow but steady dispersion, we have pleasure in again urging upon the attention of our readers the very great importance of this matter. # From Newport to Pontypool we are certain of a com- munication being shortly opened. The next thing will be a line from Pontypool through Abergavenny to Here- ford. For this, powers have been taken, but the pro- moters have also power to abandon the scheme. Hence the importance of their meeting with such encourage- ment as shall induce them to proceed. It is obvious that it will be of great mutual advantage for the inhabitants of the comparatively barren metallic hill districts, and the dwellers in the rich and beautiful county of Hereford, to interchange more readily and cheaply their varied productions. Then again, this extended line would vastly increase the value of that between Pontypool and Newport; and would be of much benefit and convenience to our own town. It appears, however, from a recent speech by Mr. Bailey, Jun., M.P., that the promoters of a line from Hereford to Pontypool will be much influ- enced by the extension of a line northward from Hereford to Shrewsbury there being no doubt of the completion of the former, should the latter be determined upon. For this reason, then, as well as for the augmented advan- tages which our own borough and all the vicinity of the southern portions of the route would certainly derive from the project, we hope that gentlemen of property and in- fluence, among us and around us, will do all they can to aid the carrying out of the Hereford and Shrewsbury line an undertaking fraught with such extended advantages to all within its sphere. The promoters propose to issue the requisite number of £20 shares, at £11) each, to the public, and "caution marking the guarded way," it is resolved not to proceed with the line, the estimated cost of which is £486,000, until the whole of the 5,000 shares are taken up. The hon. member for Wells has brought his active and comprehensive mind to bear upon this great object, as he has done in reference to important public operations con- nected with the trade and manufactures of our county, and the best results may be augured from his example, his zeal, and his talents, for the project. With a communication as far as Shrewsbury, the re- maining space necessary to form a connection with the j important towns at the mouth of the Mersey, and with the various lines which diyenre frpm thence, will snppdily DC securea. c shall then enjoy, m audition to the vast commercial advantages which such facilities of transit must confer, a direct passenger communication with Liverpool and its vicinity, and a far shorter route than we now possess, to the north-west and even the north mid- land parts of England, and to the most important parts of Scotland. In whatever light the subject may be viewed, its great utility cannot but be perceived. It is no mere thing of speculation—no project of doubtful good —but there exists a certainty of its being beneficial. It is solid and substantial in its character; and we do hope that no depression in railways generally, nor any other cause, will prevent every effort being made to secure, by all suitable means, such a desideratum as the great line of communication to which we have been alluding.

THE NEW PROTECTIONIST CONFEDERATION. THE PARLIAMENTARY REGISTER. THAT party who have so long denounced agitation—who have asserted that any organised body acting to procure a change in the laws, interferes unconstitutionally with the functions of the Legislature—who were never "weary of inveighing against the very existence, as well as the particular object of the Anti-Corn-law League, are now themselves following a similar course they have formed certainly a great association; they have commenced the holding of aggregate meetings; they have commenced the ordinary modes of action hitherto adopted by their oppo- nents. They have submitted their cause, however, to the test of public opinion, with little or no consciousness of so changed a policy, and with but vague ideas as to the result of their enterprise. They ffect. indeed, to believe that the public mind has already become weary of a sys- tem of which no man has yet seen more than the inci- pient result; and niake an essay upon the common sense of the country by calling for a national condemnation upon measures of most wide and extensive bearing, some of which are but just adopted, others of which are not yet in complete operation, and the chief of which had not possessed the force of law for more than three months when this new movement, began. Their darling object is to secure high prices for, and consequently scarcity ll1, the first necessaries of.life and they seek to gain the co-operation of the classes who are not directly interested III the production of food, by pro- mising them also the blessings of dearness; their highest notion of a prosperous state of society being that repre- sented in the apposite simile of the monkeys at Exeter Change, each of which preferred taking food from his neighbour's trough, entirely overlooking the fact that he, again, was robbed by another, while much of the com- mon stock of provisions fell to tho ground, and was en- tirely wasted, under this system of mutual interference. Such are the^principles of the" National Society for the Protection of British Capital and Industry;" and such the irrational and precipitate manner in which thev have commenced a crusade against the law of the land.. Now, in contemplating the present state of affairs, we are ready to admit two things. The first is, that consi- derable sufieiing may be occasioned in some quarters by the transition from the mischievous policy of restriction, to the SOUll system of freedom; and the next thing is Lhat some individuals may have changed their opinions with respect to free trade. But who are they ? Those who never understood the question, but took up, as thou- sands of the other side now do, the "cry" of a party; the selfish and mammon-seekers who are ready to go for any- thing that appears calculated to promote their immediate interest; and the old fixed-duty men who made a virtue of necessity when they supported total repeal. Of the success of this campaign in favour of restriction, there is no rational hope. It is certain that many worthy men, in all parts of the kingdom, are honestly and heartily in favour of what is called the Protective system; and even some Reformers are divided in opinion upon the subject. This must ever be the case it arises from the constitution of the human mind. Such men we respect, but it is impossible for them to strive successfully against principles which have obtained so strong a hold of the popular mind as those of unrestricted commerce have done. At the same time we must warn the friends of the po- pular cause not to commit the common mistake of des- pising their opponents. The Protectionists, however weak in grounds of argument, have much electoral influ- ence. Thousands of tenants-at-will can be brought to the poll—some little manageable boroughs still mar the beauty of our political institutions; and there are many independent voters whose sympathies are with the old system and then it must always be borne in mind that the constituency forms but a small portion of the adult population; and even that out of the limited number whom the law qualifies, a considerable proportion are, at any given time, debarred from the franchise by some of the numerous harrassing restrictions with which it is surrounded. If four-fifths of the population were con- vinced upon any measure, still they might all be non- electors and consequently the remaining fiftn might decide just to the contrary. Besides, the new party have announced their determi- nation to make an effort with the registration. Especial attention must, therefore, bo given to the subject,. Elec- tors are too apt to be negligent until the usual time for a dissolution draws nigh. Such conduct is unwise at any time at present it would be suicidal. Shillings spent upon the registration, will save pounds in contests; hours of labour thus employed, will prevent weeks and months of vexation. The more votes a party can re- gister, not only is their victory more secure; but the probabilities of a contest are diminished. If an elector omits to register, nothing can compensate for the loss. Should an election come, he is disfranchised. Unforeseen circumstances may at any time bring on a general elec- tion unexpected occurrences may, in like manner, lead to single vacancies. Therefore, let every man prepare himself. Every borough voter who may have changed his resi- dence, (if free, or scot and lot), or cither his residence or qualification, (if a £10 voter,) should inform the over- seers; (or in the case of freemen the town clerk), by the 20th of this month, fully describing his present residence and qualification, which may save the annoyance of an objection, and the danger of a technical disqualification. No person who shall not have paid on or before the 20th instant, all poor rates and taxes due on the 5th of January can be on the register this year. All persons qualified for counties, if they have removed, or are otherwise incorrectly entered in the present re- gister, should send notice to the overseers of the parish in which the property is situated. It is best to have a duplicate notice, which the post-officials will stamp when the original is dispatched, and the production of which will be the evidence of service. The freehold movement must receive renewed atten- tion at a subsequent period; but at present the registra- tion is all important; and no one can be registered as a freeholder who was not in possession on the 31st of Ja- nuary last.

THE PARLIAMENTARY OATHS BILL.-THE LONDON ELECTION. THOSE who take an enlightened view of the past history and present state of the country—-politically considered, could feel no doubt that the House of Lords, when they recently threw out the Parliamentary Oaths Bill, were playing a loose game and the arrival of the period at which they must yield to public opinion has been accele- rated by the spirited course which the Baron Rothschild, under the advice of his friends, has taken, and upon which the electors of London have so unequivocally set the seal of their approbation. There may be a difference of opinion as to the propriety of such a course, but persecution ever leads to strong re- action. There is probably another reason why moderate men have sanctioned so decided a policy. The Protec- tionist party have for some time been boasting of a change in the feeling of the electoral body, and calling for a dissolution. The city of London, too, has been specially mentioned as a place where free traders would now be rejected. This election has put these bombastic gentry to the test; Mr. G. F. Young, one of the most ra- bid of their orators, Mr. Bevan, and others, were va- riously invited: and Mr. Freshfield, who figured so gal- lantly at Drury-lane, was non est inventus" at this crisis. So the city Conservatives had to put up with Lord John Manners, an amiable young nobleman, but whose political principles are about as sound as those of a. Turkish Bashaw, and as enlightened as those of an Ogib- beway chief.; being well developed in his own immortal lines f Let wealth and commerce, laws and learning die, But leave us still our old nobility." Such a gentleman must of necessity be signally defeated but the party must not escape from the moral effect of their predicament by saying, as the I- Post," and others of their leading organs do glibly, that the opposition was an impromptu effort-that no exertions were made. Thev could not employ their weapons with effect; but Baron Rothschild's victory is not, therefore, without glory. Had there been such a reaction against free trade, he would have been barely elected; but the electors crowded up without any other motive than one of prin- ciple, giving him the immense majority of 3,515. He has polled 6,61!), being 280 more than the highest candi- date in 1841, and 398 more than the highest liberal on that occasion being also only 17:3 less than he polled in 1847 while Lord John Manners has polled but 3,104, being 1,600 fewer than Mr. Freshfield, the lowest of the Protectionists, polled in 1847.

NEWPORT CATTLE MARKET.—The market on Wednesday last, was rather rcantily supplied with fat stock, particularly as regards beef, which sold at about 54s. per cwt. The show of sheep was fair, at about old. In the pig market, small slips and porkers were in good demand, at remunerating prices. There were a good many small cattle from Ireland, that seemed much in want of nourishment, but few fat stock, appeared. The numbers were i-cattle, 105; sheep, 512; pigs, 129; calves, 6; horses, 9. CHOLERA.—The task of writing a bill of health for Newport this week, is a brief and pleasing one. Since our last publican tion, there have been two deaths from the epidemic, but no new case for the last three days. -Mr. English, the superin- tendent of police, whose important and indefatigable services have obtained so high a meed of public praise, and who certainly merits some more substantial proof of public favour, has had a violent attack of cholera; but through prompt and active remedial means, his life has been saved, and he is now nearly convalescent. The precautions and course of purifica- tion still go on with activity: twelve hundred cases of nuisance have been abated—a number of drains made-hives of hovels cleansed, whitewashed, and ventilated, and the aversion* to healthy ablutions so far conquered, that habits of personal cleanliness appear to be fast growing upon even the lowest classes of the town and neighbourhood. Pic N-ic.-We understand that a pic nic is to take place at Goldcliff hill, near this town, on Thursday, for the benefit of the Nash and Goldcliff Sabbath Schools. We have no doubt the charming character of the locality, and the benevolence of the object, will attract a large number of visitors. OPEN AIR TEA MEETING.—We understand that- the. ^'osleyans of the Newport; circuit, have planned a monster* open air tea meeting, to "be held upon a sunny spot lu the picturesque village of Bassalleg, on Wednesday next- Arrangements, upon a comprehensive scale, have been mado for the occasion, and, doubtless, happy crowds will wend their way to the rustic scene of enjoyment. The object of the gathering we believe, to defray some expenses recently incurred in extending the usefulness of the Wesleyan body in this district. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Sunday last, as Mr. Thomas Morgan, a native of Cardigan, and captain of a vessel, called the Cardiii' Lass, now in that port, was proceed- ing to Newport in a phaeton, accompanied by a ship-broker, and another gentleman, the horse became restive, and took to flight at a fearful pace. Mr. Morgan, who was sitting behind, unfortunately jumped out, and falling with fud force on his head, suffered a concussion of the brain, from which, though professional aid was soon obtained, and the usual remedies adopted, he never rallied, death ensuing m a few hours after tlie ^sad occurrence. The verdict of a coroner s inquest held beiore TV m. Brewer, Esq on Monday was in accordance with the above facts. The deceased was very generally respected. PLEASURE TRIP.—In order to afford the inhabitants of Newport an opportunity of enjoying a healthy and delightful excursion over the most attractive portions of the channel the steam-packct "Eclipse" has been, we understand, well prepared for a pleasure trip from the Newport dock, on Mon- day morning llext.-See Adrertisenent.

We iiave heard Pyscottwr say that this ferocious animal will destroy its own weight of fish in one night. When is our old correspondent going to redeem his promise of giving us a few chapters on the line old English sport of otter-nunting ? SACRILEGE AT ST. MELLONS.—On Saturday night last some daring fellows attempted an entrance into St. Mellons Church, near the beautiful village of that name, between Newport and Cardiff; and but for the bungling and evidently inexperienced manner in which the attempt was made, doubt- less the deed would have been accomplished. The'parties succeeded in forcing the outer door of the porch but were unable to get through the inner door. Next morning, the implements by w.nch the entrance to the porch was effected gave some intimation of the sort of persons concerned"; those implements were a kind of pick-lock, made of a piece of umbrella iron, and a rasp, which might have been used by a tinker. Added to this, that an umbrella-mender and knife- grinder, with two others, were seen in the neighbourhood just before, and that there is a quantity of old broken bell metal in the church, there is at once a suspicion established that the needy knife-grinder and his friends are a deuced deal more than they ought to be.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NEWPORT AUXILIARY. On Tuesday evening last, the annual meeting of the above- lianied association was held at the Town-hall, Newport, the room having been kindly lent, for the occasion, by our respected chief magistrate, William Evans, Esq. The interest felt in the objects of the society was observable from the large and respectable company assembled within a few minutes after the time appointed for the meeting. Soon after seven o'clock, the chair was taken by J. J. Cordes, Esq., this vice-president of the Newport auxiliary, and a warm friend of the institution; on the platform were the Rev. C. W.
