FRANCE.
FRANCE. The Presse says-" M. de Lamartine, whose rheumatic malady has become worse, has been obliged to demand an un- limited leave of absence from the Assembly; and he intends, it is said, to sell his family estate and arrange all his pecuniary affairs." The Moniteur Algerien of the 29th ult., gives an account from Batna of a sanguinary combat sustained by the column commanded by Col. Carbuccia in the oasis of Zaatcha. There had been some reason to believe that the insurgents would yield without combat, but it was quite otherwise. An attack which the Colonel was obliged to make failed before the un- expected obstacle of a solid wall, preceded by a ditch full of water, which could not be passed and this defence was sup- ported by a sharp tire from behind the garden walls of the village. After two hours combat the French retreated with a loss of u2 killed and 117 wounded.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. All accounts from the seat of war confirm the intelligence of the successes of the Hungarians. The Kolner Zeitnng states that the commander of the im- perialist garrison of Temesvar, General Kukorina, has been killed in the assault by which the Hungarians carried that place on the 1:3th ult. Large quantities of muskets, guns, and ammunition fell into the hands of the victors. From accounts in the National Zeitung, it appears that Georgey, after defeating the Russian division under General Sass, at Jatzo advanced along the banks of the Theism to Tokaj, where he took up positions on the outskirts of the Carpathian mountains, from Loshony to Kashau. This posi- tion is in the rear of the Russian armies, and commands all the defiles that lead to Gallicia. At Kashau Georgey took possession of the whole baggage of Prince Paskiewitch, of 30,000 Russian uniforms, and of the depot of arms of the Russian army. Accountshave been received via Constantinople from Tran- sylvania. They state that the Russian army was defeated at Fogarasch by General Bern, and that the Russian General Dick is sererely, if not mortally wounded, and General Lu ders called in the help of the Austrian corps under General Clam-Gallas. From the same source we learn that the Rus- sian General Freitag has made another attempt to enter Transylvania by the defiles of Oytosh, and that in this instance, too, he was attacked by Bern, and driven back into Moldavia. This account is confirmed by official intelligence, which has been received by the Turkish Government. Omer Pacha and Fuad Fffendi have written to their government that General Bern has defeated the Austro-Russians at Rathenthurn, and the Russians at Fogaros; that General Dick is severely wounded, and that General Luders, who himself is slightly wounded, has called to aid all the regiments from VVallachia; that the Rus. sians are starving, because the Wallachian waggoners, arriving at the defile of Preclial, fearing the ill-treatment of the Russian soldiers, cut off the lopel which served as traces, and fled wi: h their horses. Forty waggons arrived at Jassey, loaded with wounded Russians, all belonging to the corps of Gen. Freytag, who was not able to pass the defile of Oystosh, and retired towards the Bukowina. The Hungarian garrison of Comorn have made i successful sally upon Dotish. A detachment of hussars sallied from the fortress and crossed to the right bank of the Danube, where they took Nazy-Igmand and advanced to Dotish. They obtained possession of the Emperor's mails that were being taken from Vienna to Pesth, and by this means they captured a large aiim in silver The communication between Vienna and Pesth has since been interrupted. A journal states, under date the 1st instant, that Haynau has entered Kecksemet, which had been previously evacuated by Perczel, who bad retreated to Felegyhaza, at the head of 40,000 men, with 48 pieces of cannon. Schiick's division has marched to reinforce Haynau. This division will suffer from the want of water in its way to Szezedin, as the Magyars have filled up all the wells as they retreated and large guerilla bands of Honveds now hover round the various Imperial armies, and cut off their supplies of bread and oatil. Several bands of Honved Guerillas will be in close attendance on Marshal Schlick during his pro- gress. An outbreak against the government of the Ban is expected in Cioatia and Sclavonia.. The Jews of Buda have demanded that their property shall be valued, in order to prove that the contribution imposed on them by General Haynau will absorb all they have. They have an- nounced their intention of proceeding to the United States. At Pesth and Buda provisions are very dear. The cholera continues ea to make groat ravages. The fortress of Kaschau has surrendered to Georgey, who had previously baffled Rudiger's pursuit, and broken the Russian outposts at Jasza. Kaschau is highly important in a strategetic point of view, and on this account was fortified by Paskiewitch, and made the head depot of the commissariat supplies from Poland and Gallicia. Georgey has since crossed the Theiss, and effected a junction with Dembinski. The road to Gallicia is now open on one side. The English papers, with the Hungarian debate (on Mr. Osborne's motion), had arrived at Vienna on the 28th, and the Vienna public were occupied extensively in studying the trans- lation of Lord Palmersion's speech, which has had the effect of a clap of thunder on the Austiian cabinet. The Servians are beginning to fraternize with the Hungarians. Temeswar is reported to have surrendered to the Magyars. The Times has reluctantly admitted, during the past week, that the plan of the campaign against Hungary, as it was begun by the Imperial armies, has been dislocated by the skill and vigour of the Hungarian commanders, and that down to the latest dates the foitune of war was with the latter. This fact has at the same time assisted our contemporary to the belief that the Ottaman Porte may possibly take part in the struggle, and that upon the whole the Hungarians have leally better chances than it had hitheito allowed itself to think possible. Other evidences of returning prosperity are not wanting to this great and gallant cause. PRUSSIA.
PRUSSIA.
A Cologne journal states that the Princes of Hohenzolter have signed a cession of their States to Prussia, and have also requested the Prussian Government to send troops to occupy them. To prevent conflicts with the Prussian troops the Bavarian Government has withdrawn its garrison from Mannheim. A letter from Friburg, Grand Duchy of Baden, of the 31st ult., says that a young Prussian, named Dartu, was put to death the previous day, in virtue of the sentence of a court martial, for having fought with the insurgents. It is probable that the sentence of death passed on a Professor Kinckel, of Bonn, will be commuted.
A MERICA.
A MERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, 11 A.M—The North American mail steamer Ningara has arrived, with advices from New York to the 25th ult. The weather generally throughout the land has been most propritious to the wheat harvest, which is completed in the southern and south west states, and now in full progress in the middle and western states. We have accounts from San Francisco to the 10th of May. The market at that place was overstocked with goods, which were selling at low rates. Provisions and clothing were abundant and cheap, and the city was full of people. A lerge number of the inhabitants were speculating extrava- gantly in land. New towns were being laid out in different spots around the Bay, and building lots in wilderness sites were selling at from 1,500 dolls. to 2,000 dolls. each. At the mioes matters remained pretty qu;et, but fears were entertained that ere long there would be serious disturbances be- tween the Americans and the Mexicans, as some 6,000 of the latter had evinced a' turbulent disposition. Owing to the swollon state of the streams, the gold dust had not been dug out so freely this season, but no doubts were entertained that as much would be gatheied this year as last. Telegraphic accoums from Montreal of the 24th state that cholera was slightly on the increase in that city. Twenty- eight cases had occurred in the twenty-four hours previous to the above date. Col. Holmes died of the epidemic on the 23rd. Business was dull. A large fire had occurred in the city, and consumed thirty buildings before it was subdued. Intelligence from Buenos Ayres to the 6th of June has been ,ecei'ed. The most friendly relations continue 10 esist between the President Rosas and the English and French.

We (Bristol Gazette,) are much gratified at being able to state that this epidemic has considerably abated in virulence in Ibis city, and that we have not now to report the occurrence of such awfully sudden deaths from its attacks, as were recorded in the public prints a short time since. From Friday last up to this (Wednesday) morning the reports delivered to the Board of Health at St. Peter's Hospital, have been as follow Simple diarrhoea 119 cases; approaching cholera, 19; cholota, 11; the deaths have amounted to 8. The above return of "simple diarrhoea," we ought to remark, does not include what aretermed dispensary oases," namely, those in which patients have ap- plied for and received medicine from the district surgeons, and in which, we are glad to say, the treatment has been almost uniformly successful, although the number of such cases has been very great. In Bedminster it is also cheeiing to ob-erve that the disease appears to have spent its force. The following is a jeturn from the 1st of August up to Tuesday, on which day not one fatal case was reported, although the epidemic had on the previous days raged with much severity:—Cramp, 7 cases Diarrhoea, 23; Cholera, 28; Deaths, 30. Mr. George Kiddell has been appointed by the Health Commitee as an additional medical as- sistant for the parish, and everything that can be reasonably ex- pected is now being done by the authorities for pieventiog any recurrence of the disease to its former extent.

-= GA1.VAN1SM-PAUALYS1S.-Ihe following is well worthy the attention of medical men (particularly those who scoff at galvanism) and paralytic individuals; it is another of those astounding cures made by Mr. Halse. Mr. Blackwell, of Cottage Road, l'imlico, a retired builder is the gentleman on •whom the extraordinary cure was performed, and who has kindlv allowed Mr. Halse to publish his case, for the benefit of the public at large-an example worthy the imitation of thousands of others who have also been restoied to the blessings health bv the all—but miraculous powers of galvanism,when T "lied wiih an efficient apparatus.

----GENERAL NEWS.
GENERAL NEWS. It was thought the new electric light had gone out; but we find that Professor Bagge is still enthusiastic on the subject, and lecturing in various parts of the country on its excellencies. The season at Barbadoes has been one of the most produc- tive ever known, and will reach to from .'53,000 to 35,000 hhds. of sugar. A treaty of peace and commerce has been concluded be. tween Great Britain and the Republic of Liberia. Death, the irrespective leveller of all classes and conditions of men, has at length struck down our old friend, Pierce Egan, the veteran historian of the ring and sporting journalist, who expired last Friday evening, at his residence at Pentonville, at the full age of 77. Mr. W. Taylor, a respectable tradesman of Btfper, was murdered a few days since bv blows inflicted on him by a young man, named Granger, who has been committed for trial oil a charge of wilful murder. Nine or ten young men were last week playing at cricket at Chorley, and one oi the players, named James Watmough, when the ball was bowled, struck with such force that the bat flew out of his hand and hit Joseph Pendlebury, aged ten years, on the chest. He merely staggered a yard or two, uttered only the words Oh dear and immediately expired. As Messrs. Parry T homas, jun., of Abercery, J. Raymond, of Dinas, and Henry Lea, of Kidderminster, were recently out shooting sea fowl, at the back of Dinas Island, Pembroke- shire, they observed a salmon actively engaged in springing after the flies. They fired at it the shots took ellect, and the fish was secured. It weighed 91bs. At the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society atNorwich, a prize for the best thrashing machine was given to an Irish- man, named Hitwell.The inventor of a "thrashing," machine could not have a better name. The battle-painter, Lalleman, has been killed at Comorn, by a cannon ball, whilst engaged in taking a sketch of the fight which was going on. A Liverpool shipowner, named Dixon, has been fined in a heavy penalty, for allowing one of his emigrant vessels ,to sail without a surgeon. Lieutenant Thomas Waghorn. the celebrated overland voyager to India, has been granted a pension of £ 200 per an. num from the Royal Bounty Fund. The Archaeological Institute, which has just held its annual congress at Salisbury, will meet next year at Oxford. Mr. Denison, M.P. for Surrey, expired last week, on Thursday. Crosses of the Legion of Honour are to be distributed among the medical profession of Paris, as a reward for their generous conduct during the prevalence of cholera. A gentleman,"advertising in a Waterford paper for a wife, says, "it would be well if the lady were possessed of a com. petency sufficient to secure her against the effects of excessive grief in case of accident occurring to her companion." Ami- able forethought! The Rev. Dr. Warneford. has given another £ 1,000, making the third, to Queen's College, Birmingham, in aid of the en- dowment cfthe Professorship of Pastoral Theology. A forgery has been committed of £5 notes of the Worcester Old Bank. The forged notes are dated 1st August, 1848, which date corresponds with notes issued by Messrs. Berwick and Co. The numbers and signatures of the forged notes are lithographed, and it is easy to discover that they are not in handwriting. An infant, at Nortblcach, was allowed last week to inhale hartshorn from a bottle, and so sudden a shock was produced on the poor child's nervous system thereby, that it died in a few hours. Madame Castellan will be prima donna at the Hereford Mu- sical Festival. A gentleman of the name of King, who some years ago left Painswick in debt to the amount of some thousands of pounds, has, during his absence, by industry, contrived to raise suffi- cient to pay off his former liabilities, and he has remitted in. stalments from time to time, the last having arrived some weeks ago. Last week the gentleman returned to his native town, where lie received a most enthusiastic welcome from the inhabitants. The Sun describes a new portable machine, called a fire an- nihilator. It may be carried about by one man, and is de- scribed as possessing powers to beat down the most fierce flames, and to extinguish the most glowing fire in a few mi- nutes. Cricket balls are now made of gutta pcrcha. These balls are perfectly impervious to wet, and may be played with on wet grass without being softened in the slightest degree. As they are made without any stitching, they are not liable to rot like leather balls. Married soldiers, to the number of six for each company, have, since July, 1848, been granted Id, a day and permitted, as an indulgence, to find their own lodgings when t'icir corps is in quarters. The privilege has now been extended to the troops abroad as well as at heme. Carlo Alberto, ex-King of Sardinia, died at Oporto, on the 28th of July. A large and influential meeting has just been held at Lei- cester, on behalf of Hungary. Seldom have warmer or more enthusiastic sentiments been expiessed, than are being uttered throughout the country on this subject. The Huddersfield and Manchester tunnel is more than three miles inMength, being the longest in the world—at a depth of 6;i2 ft. below the ridge of the hill which it pierces. The tun- nel is so perfectly straight, that on a clear day one can see through from either end. There is an old lady following the vocation of a midwife, Janet Lloyd by name. living in a place. called Rhiw, in the parish of Trawsfynydd, who commenced her midwifery in the year 1818, at the age of thirty-six years, and up to June, 1849, received the enormous number of 2,080 children, which is above 67 children yearly upon an average. She is at present 67 years of age. The City of London is now represented by a duke, a lord, a master-man, and a child, (Sir James Duke, Loid John Russell, Mr. Masterman, and Mr*. Rothschild.) The latter has been I M.. refused a form in the forum, in consequence of the upper house" declining to bend to the eptrlt 'd'lf hit. age. From three stocks of bees, commonly called hives, standing in the garden of Mr. Durham, Manor Cottage, there have been since the 15th of May, 1849, ten swarms ot fine, strong, and healthy bees An occurrence, perhaps, unparalleled in apiarian history. A miserly man died at Hull, on Wednesday, of cholera. When informed that he could not recover, he swallowed five shillings in succession, and would have swallowed more, but the money was taken from him. His death left his only daughter inheritress of £ 300. The Cheltenham Examiner, complaining of the hieroglyphical notes announcing interesting events, observes: Nothing bnt a personal knowledge could in some instances distinguish whether it was Mrs. Smith or Mrs. South who had contributed to the population, or whether it was Miss Jones or Miss James that had changed her name, so that we sometimes put the wrong lady to bed, and were all but called out' by a gentle- man for marrying him to one he never saw." Last Friday night's Gazette contains a proclamation, dated Osborne House, July 30, directing that the new two-shilling viece shall" be current and lawful money of Great Britain and Ireland." This new coin is to be called a florin. Captain Pelham has been returned for Boston. The death of Mr. Godson leaves Kidderminster open; and Mr. Best and Mr. VV. H. Cooke, banisters on the Oxford circuit, are the candidates. On the 1st of January last there were in store, at home and abroad—116,283 percussion arms, and 165.396 flint lock arms. The Vienna papers report that 'Prince Metternich is suffer- ing from softening of the brain, and exhibits unequivocal symptoms of this disease. He is in a complete state of apa. thy, greatly depressed in mind, and so far sunk in dotage, that he did not recognise his daughter, the Countess Sandor, who made a journey to England tor the arrangement of family affairs. Louis Phillippe intends paying a visit to Brussels, very shortly. Ch'oroform has been found useful in treating cholera. Dr. Samuel Dicklion asserts that it has been tried at the Peckham Asylum with the creatrst success. He says, Place the patient at once under i;s influence. In one minute and a half you have ctued him." The begging impost-Ms of London have discovered a new way of fleecing the public obtaining brandy, cordials, money and sympathy, by falling down in the streets and pretending to be racked with the agonies of cholera. The police have detected more than one oi these eu I pI its in the fact. The Cincinnati Courier says: Yesterday, a man was laid out, after dying as was supposed, by cholera. But while the burial service was going on, the supposed deceased came to life. The consternation of the assembled company may be imagined. We understand the cause of the man's stupor was too large a quantity 01 cholera medi. ine given him containing opium. Persons should be careful." & Nothing can surpass the luxuriant appearance of the crops. Should the present weather continue, the harvest will be general in ten days. Potatoes look well everywhere they are abundant in the markets, and no appearance of disease can be traced to any extent that can justify the slightest alarm- The veterans of the army and navy who hr.ve recently re- ceived medals as a tardy recognition of their brave and meritorious deeds, have set on foot a subscription for the praise worthy purpose of presenting his Grace the Duke of Richmond with a suitable memorial, for his able and energetic advocacy of their claims upon the gratitudefof the country. Mr. J. O'Sullivan is appoiired Stipendiary Magistrate at Grenada. Robert M. Isaacs, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, is t9 have the rank of Queen's Cdunsd at Antigua. Robert Alex- ander Thompson, Ebq., is appointed a member of the Execu- tive Council of the Bahama Islands. John James Burnsiue, Esq., (Surveyor-General), is nominated a member of the Legislative Conncil of the Bahamas. John Draper, Esq., is appointed a member of Council at St. Vincent.—Observer. Mr. W vld has a notice of motion standing in the order book of the House of Commons, for next session, for a bill to enab'e her Majesty's Secretary of State to appoint inspectors of mines and collieries, and lor providing the means ot pay- ment for such inspection. The amount fatting due for railway calls during the August is £ 1,124,576.—'or the corresponding month of last year it was £ 3,122,773. T he total calls for the eight months of the pre- sent year have reached £ 15,759.980, against £ 25,773,019 in the corresponding period of 1848. The great mechanical problem of the ace—the raising of one of the large tubular gilders for the Britannia Bridge— was commenced on Saturday, and this, the most gigantic structure of this constructive age of wonders, will, it is hoped, soon be placed safely in its final position—a m nument to the energies and perseverance of its constructors and the me chanical ingenuity of the time-an ingenuity, n a great mea sure, engendered and developed by the want, J nd hitherto unthought-of mechanical requirements, in carrying out the railway system. VENTILATION or MINES.—The Committee of inquiry into this important subject have now brought their sittings to a termination, and we are informed that, from the evidence which has been laid before them, the views of the committee are not at all favourable to the s stem of ventilation now adopted in the midland counties collieries. It appears that since the last inquiry, in 1839, little or no improvement has been made in the system of ventilation in these districts while in the north of England, a gradual system of scientiifc inproye- ments is evidently being generally adopted. The report will shortly be published in detail, when facts will speak for them- selves. Among the witnesses present was Dr. Reit*. Clanny, who was presented with a valuable testimonial in plate by a committee presided over by the Marquess of Londonderry, for carrying into effect the construction of a safety-lainp, capable of burning in an explosive atmosphere, in 181^, and for his continuous labours in the cause of science anu hu- manity. There are nearly 1000 of these lamps in use in some of the most fiery mines in the kingdom.-Aimmg Journal. T An advance of 10s. per ton has taken place in Iron, in the Birmingham district and seems likely to be mamamed. The nomination for the Reading Election, took place on Mondav, when five candidates presented themselves, Mr. Stanford who has since been returned conservative, and Sir J. Hare, Mr. Norton, Mr. Howyer, and Mr. Clark, ofdirtcrent shades of liberalism. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Norton, and next of Mr. Stanford. The Welshman mentions that Lord Dynevor and bis family have given nearly £1100. towards the restoration of 11an- dilo Church. VALUE OF LAND.—At the tale on Monday of the building land at Woodiiiii, Portishead, near Bristol, the property was bought in at £ 400 per acre, about four acres of the least valuable part (two acrei and a half of which must not be built upon) having been disposed of pteviouely to the sale at that price.

DAKIN & COMPANY have much pleasure in announcing that they have appointed Mr. CHARLES NAPPER, Confectioner. &.c., High-stieet, Sole Agent for Newport, for the sale of their Royal Patent Coffee. In announcing this appointment, it will be important to point out the excellence and advantages of Dakin's Royal Patent Coffee, and for the purpose ofdoinn so with brevity, the follow- ing copy of a certificate of Mr. Alfred S. Taylor, and Mr.Arthur Aikin. the great authorities on Chemistry, Medical Jurisprudence, and the Sanatory question, may suffice We hereby certify that we have chemicatty examined four varieties of coffee, namely, best Mocha, Jamaica, very fine and good Plantation (Ceylon) Coffee, both in the raw state, and as prepared and roasted by the Patent Process of Messrs. Dakin. We have likewise chemically examined samples of the same varieties of Coffee, toasted at the same time, in the usual way, and the result of this examination is, that in delicacy of flavour, odour, and as an article of diet, the Coffee prepared by Messrs. DAKIN'S process is, in our judgment, superior to that prepared in the ordinary way. We have also examined the apparatus used by Messrs. Dakin for roasting Coffee, and we find that all the sutfaces with which the Coffee comes in contact during this process, are of Silver. We find also that great care is taken so to regulate the degree of heat, and the mode of its application, as to render necessary a longer time and lower temperature to effect the roasting, whereby all iisk of charring the berry, or producing empyreumatic oil is prevented, the separation of acid vapour is more gradual and comftete, and a larger portion of aroma is re- tained than occurs in the o.sual methods of Coffee roasting. The process of Messrs. Dakin appears to us, therefore, in a chemical view, better adapted than any yet suggested for pro- curing roasted Coffee in a pure and wholesome form. ARTHUR AIKIN, "ALFRED S.

HALSE, the MEDICAL GALVANIST, of 22, Brunswick square London, earnestly recommends invalids and gentlemen of the me- dieal profession to peruse the following. It cannot but surprise them, and will prove to them the all but miraculous power of Galvanism, when applied in a scientific manner, and with all efficient apparatus. The following case is perhaps as remarkable a one as could be selected, as showing the powers of Galvanism, after every medicine, and almost every medic i] practitioner in Devonshire, had been tried in vain; and as the truth of it is witnessed by a distinguished clergyman of the (church oi l'.n^land, there call, one would suppose, be no doubt in any one's mind as to its accuracy. When the patient was brought to Mr. H.. his wife told him that she could not believe that Galvanism or anything else could possibly restore kim for his, complaint had been standing so long, and he was in such a wedk state, that it would be presumptuous to expcct any benefit, particu- larly as he had tried the most celebrated physiciaiis in Devonshire, and* still daily continued to get worse. She also stated that her friends blamed nor very much tor removing him from hre home but she could not help it; her husband had heard of such extraordinary cures made by Mr. H. in his complaint, that galvanised he would bè, in spite of everything. His medical man wes quite anpry with him for thinking of such a thing; ajid when his friends were carrying him from his house to the carriage, every ore appeared to be convinced hftt they should never see him alive any more. But notwithstanding all the difficulties lie had to contend with, he was determined, and in- sisted upon being galvanised. The following letter, which he sent to the editor of the Exeter Flying Post, will prove the result:— OUGHT NOT GALVANISM TO BE MORE GENERALLY RE SORTED TO ?—A letter to the Editor of the Fining Post. by one who has derived immense benefit from the power of the Galvanic Apparatus. Mr. EDITOR,—A few weeks since, I noticed a paragraph by you, stating that Galvanism oin?ht to be more generally employed. I beg to state, that I am precisely of the same opinion, for I have witnessed its astonishsng effects in a number of cases, and its power has been tried particularly on myself, with the happiest results. In that para- graph I was most happy to find favourable mention of Mr. Hafse's name. All that you have said of him, and even more, is his due; indeed, as for myself, I have cause to bless the day that I first placed Hyself under his care. Now, sir, my case was a most deplorable one, for I had not the least use of either arm or leg-they hun" about me like as it they did not belong to me, and the strength of my legs was insufficient to support the weight of my body; of course I Could not Stand, and if you had offered me a thousand guineas to move either hand but one inch from the place where it might have been placed, I cou'd not have done it; not the least command had 1 over my limbs- My complaint was caused by a blow on the back Well, as beiore stated I placed myself undei Mr. Habe S galvanic treatment. I had been led to believe that it was a dreadful operation to go through; but 1 was agreeably surprised that there was no unpleasantness at all about it, not even enough to make a child cry, so beautifully does Mr. liaise manage his battery. In three days, sir, I could stand upon my legs, and in one week I could walk about the lioufe; at the same time I also partially recovered the use of mv arms; and in six weeks, I could walk several miles in a day without the least assistance. Well might you ask, Ought not Gal- vanism to be much resorted to ?' After what I have seen and expe- rienced. I do consider it a shame that a porti 'n of the medical profession should decline to recommend their patients to try the powers of Galvanism. Perhaps I need not state, that I had had the advice of the most celebrated physicians in this country; but all the medicines which were tried, did me little or no goed. I believe Mr. Halse was as much surprised as myself and friend, when, at the expiration of a week, he saw that I could walk, for he did not lead me to believe that there would be such a rapid improvement. I will state, that invalids are very to blame if they uo not give Galvanism atrial, for if it decs no good, it is impossible it can do any harm but there is f erv piobability of its doin"good. for during the time I was under Mr HaWs care, I noticed its happv effects in a variety of cases, partICU at ly sciatica, rheumatism, asthma, and nervous- ness; indeed, all his p:. lents were rapidly regaining their health. I only regret that J jiad not applied to him earlier I shou! have been many scores of pounds in pocket, had I done so. T T "GEORGE E. BIGNELL. New London Inn, Dodbrooke, Kingsbridge. "Witness to the truth of the above—C. G Owen Rector of Dod- brooke, near Kingsbridge, Devon." Mr Halse recommends paralytic patients in the country to purchase one of ins ten Guinea Portable Apparatuses as. with his instructions, they will be enabled to apply the Galvanism themselves, without the least pain, and fully as effective as he could at his own residence. Invalids are solicited to send to Mr. W. II. HALSE, of 22, Bruns- wick-square, London, for his Pamphlet on MEDICAL GALVANISM, which will be forwarded free on receipt of two postage stamps. 'I'hey will be astonished at its contents. In it will bo f0uud the particulars of cures in cases of asthma, rheumatism, sciatica, tic-doloureux, paraly- sis, spinal complaints, head-ache, deficiency of nervous energy, liver complaints, general debility, indigestion, stiff joints, all sorts of nervous debility, &c. Mr. Hade's method of applying the galvanic fluid is quite free from all unpleasant sensation; in tact, it is rather pleasurable than otherwise, and many ladies are exceedingly fond of it. It quickly causes the patients to do without medicine. Terms, one guinea ptf week. The above pamphlet coutaios 1110; letteis 011 Medical Galvanism. GUANO.

The Norwich Union Society, instituted 1,'J{, was the hrst office to make returns to the parties insured, and its connexions have, to the present time, enjoyed this important benefit.

It is expected that the next return will be made in the coarse of the ensuing year 1850. The directors have the strongest grounds to expect that the future returns will equal the past, and the constant increase of business (over sixty millions) sufficiently attests the public con- fidence in the stability of this company.

INFERTILITY ALL that is ore; ted is intended to fulfil the Divine Command-HIn- crease and multiply —therefore a hrancliless tree or barren plot of land strikes a chill on the imagination; but how pleasing to the fight is a flower in full bloom or a tiee in blossom !-its healthful out- spreading tirauclies giving promise of the future perpetuation of its species. Thus it is with man we vitiit the cottage of the hardy peasant and see him surrounded with his blooming and healthful progeny, although he may be poor in the gifts of man, yet Heaven has bestowed her choicest blessings on him, and he is not unfrequently the envy of the noble lord who owns the manor; he would give half his estate to be- come the father of a son, to inherit his name and property. But, alas he is deterred from entering the holy state of Matrimony by the un- happy consciousness that the indiscretions of his )outh has deprived him of the power ot fultilling its sacred obligations a:id how much unhap- piness is daily witnessed in the marriage state, from the same cause where no offspring has blessed the nuptial couch—mutual distrust fre^ quently ensues, in coldness and restraint. But happily for those hus situated thi means of exchanging gloomy fears for bright anticipa- ^jOns will be found in the pages of a small work entitled the "FAITHFUL MONITOR A Treatise on tbe exhaustion and physical decay of the system pro- duce by excessive indulgence, the consequences of infection, or the abuse of mercury, with observations on tbe married state, aud the dis- qualilications which prevent it, by P.

THE POPULAR 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 cc' 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 neverthérless an almost indispensable requisite. Some con- stitutions and dispositions require an active use of the muscies of the body deny them this. and nature resents the offence by sinking into melancholy an 1 ripening. Students. Teachers. Clergymen, and others, whose care and most anxious thought are constantly being called forth, can hope for but little pleasure in their 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, PARR'S LIFE PeLLS. of at; mea dicines, is without dispute the best calculated to produce a fine flow of animal spirits, a clear head, and a ready perception. The extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus desribed by an eminent physician, who says :—" After particular observation of the action of PARR'S PTLLS, 1 am determined, in my opinion, that tha following arp their true properties :— First-Thev 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 everv 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. "Secondly-In their operation they go direct to the disesse. After von have taken lIix or twelve pills you will experience their effect; tho disease upon you will become less and less by every dose you take and if you will persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills evety day, \'Our disease will speedily be entirely removed from the system^ None are Genuine, unless the words PARKS LIFE PILLS, aro in White Letters on a Red Ground, on a Government StaTip, pasted round each box also. the fac-simile of the Signature of the Proprietors, T.

IF MANKIND are liable to one Disease more than another, or if there are any particular Affections of the Human Body we require to have a knowledge of over the rest, it is certainly that class of Disorders treated of in the New and Improved Edition of the "SILENT FRIEND." The Authors, in thus sending forth to the world another Edition of their Medical Work, cannot refrain from expressing their gratification at the continued success attending their. efforts, which, comtriaed with the assistance of Medioines, exclusively of their own prepara- tion. have been the happv cause of mitigating and averting the Mental and Physical miseries attendant on those peculiar Dis- orders; thus proving the fact. that suffering humxnitv must always derive tbe greatest advantages from dulrtjualified Mem- bers of the Medical Profession, adopting a particular class of disorders for their exclusive study, in preference to a superficial knowledge of all the diseases that afflict Mankind. MESSRS. R. & L.

In order to ensure secresy, and punctuality in delivery, the work will be sent direct from the establishment, free to any part of the kingdom, 111 a sealed enve- lope, on the receipt of Ss. 6d. in postage stamps. The Silent Friend is a medical work written In lanfruage, devoid of professional technicalities, on the physical disqualifications affecting the generative system in both sexes. It contains an elaborate and are. fulh-written account of the anatomy and physiology of the organs in man which are directly and indirectly concerned in the function of generation, (illustrated bv coloured engravings.) and the causes and consequences resulting from the baneful practice by which the vigour and manliness of life are enervated and destroyed, even before nature has fullv established the powers and stamina of the constitution. Local and general debilitv. nervous irritability and excitement, consumption, indigestion of the most fearful and exhausting kind, intense meUncholr and depression of the spirits, and partial or total extinction of the rep o- ductive powers. &c., are thus produced. In the Silent Friend, the chap- ter devoted to the consideration of these dreadful complaints contains also an account of the means by which they may be ,?"dJ"6' moved so as to restore the sufferer to the full enjoyment of health, and the functions of manhood. The consequences ariwng from venereal contamination are next pointed out, and the nature and character ot gonorrhoea, gleet, stricture, and secondary symptoms of every kind, are clearly explained, with directions for cure. Their dangerous effccts OR the human economy are sufficiently dilated on, and a means is also in- dicated by which the recurrence of these diseases mav in every instanof be completely prevented. The work terminates with a chapter on the obligations of marriage, the physical impediments which tend to dis- qualify the candidate for that holy state, and the directions necessary for their removal. The work is illustrated by the detail of cases. and by twenty-six coloured engravings on steel, thus rendering it what its name purports it to be, the true, but silent friend to all suffering from the consequences of early error and vice, -a work which may be con- sulted without exposure, and with every assurance of complete success and benefit: by R. and L.

Part the first of this work is dedicated to the consideration of the ana t omy and Physiology of the generative functions. It embraces a suc- cinct account of all the organs in man which are engaged in the impor- tant function of the reproduction of the species, and the mode 111 which self-abuse operates to the injury of the human frame, and the destruction of the special and vital powers. This is illustrated bysix- coloured engravings. Part the second treats of th* infirmities and decay of the system pro 8 duced by over indulgence of the passions The existence of nervouf and sexual debility and incapacity, with their accompanying train c symptoms and disorders, are traced by the chain of connecting results to this cause.
