CHEMISTS, PILLGWENLLY, AND 2, HlGH-TOWN, HEREFORD. THE increasing and astonishing sale of this Medicine evi- dences its extraordinary utility and efficiency, as well as i the continued testimony of those who have been induced to itiake a trial of it; inasmuch as not in a single case which has t Come under the knowledge of the Proprietor, when steadily per- levered in for a short time, has it been unsuccessful; he there- fore thinks he confers an act of benevolence onthe Public, whilst he deviates not an atom from the truth by setting it forth as one of the best Cough Medicines ever discovered, and ever repre- sented to the notice of the world. Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, *nd Asthmas, though of the most obdurate and obstinate na- Vire, must speedily give way to its salutary operation. Persons /1 Whose constitutions have been detrimentally affected by long- standing complaints of this nature, will derive that benefit from their use which their enervated bodies require, and which they Would rejoice to receive. So exquisitely are the ingredients Proportioned, that it answers the precise end of an expectorant, balsamic, diaphoretic, diuretic, or sedative, and thus is com- pletely suitable to every species of disease which results from obstructed perspiration or taking cold and often, when the itiost approved and successful means fail in producing an eva- cuation of that pernicious matter which causes tightness of the thest, or dry excessive cough, and violent wnthings, and rest- less nights, this has astonishingly succeeded. The following recent testimony is a fresh evidence of the in- creasing value of this Medicine I feel it a duty I owe to the world to express the astonishing benefit I have experienced from the use of DAVIES'S COUGH PILLS. I have been for about twelve years subject to a continual cough and irritation I of the chest, and for the last two years past, have experienced consider- itble inconvenience from that most severe affection. In the month of March last, i was induced to give the above-mentioned Medicine a trial and found that only two small boxes effected a most complete and radical cure of the above disease, and have ever since been per- fectly free from any affection of such a nature. I also know personally other individuals who have experienced equal benefit from their use, l.'nd, consequently, beg strongly to recommend it to families as an inva- luable domestic expediency, and to all who suffer from the like affec- tions. GEORGE MUTTON, Oct. 30th, 1837. Master of the Kitty, Plymouth. I am happy to testify publicly of the benefit experienced from the use of DAVIES'S COUGH PILLS," being the subject of a^suffocating tightness of the chest, attended with much cough an g 'ness.

SIR—For the benefit of others, I would earnestly recommend ''DAVIES'S GOLDEN CERATE," from the great relief I have experi- enced from its use; having had SEVEN large inflamed wounds in my leg, which caused a continual and most severe pain, and notwithstand- ing the application of usual remedies, and those recommended b\ skilful persons in such cases, it gradually became worse. 1 was m- lIuee.d. to ask the favour of the friends of the proprietors of the above lliedicine to write to Pillgwenlly for advice on the matter, from whom I received in answer a family pot of the Golden Cerate, to the direc- tions of which I scrupulously attended, and in a few days the inflam- mation had subsided and the pain ceased, and in a month precisely, all the wounds had completely healed, and the whole of the inflammation entirely dispersed.

Letters from Frankfort state that much might turn upon the conduct which the King of Hanover was about to pur- sue with respect to the professors of G6tting(?n, where the Monarch was daily expected. It was universally believed that the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge had protested, as first agnats, against the overthrow of the constitution. According to a letter of the 1st instant from Hanover, King Ernest, since his coup d'etat, has become less accessi- ble than ever, and leads a most secluded life in his chateau, which none are permitted to enter, with the exception of those attached to his court. This conduct, which forms a striking contrast with that of the Duke of Cambridge, and with the habits of the German sovereigns, adds, if possible, to the dissatisfaction of the people of Hanover. The seven professors ot Gottingen have received from the curators of the university a decision to the effect that their representa- tion relative to the royal ordonnance of the 1st of Novem- ber is admissible. The formula for taking the oath of fidelity and homage has, at the same time, been sent to them for their signature, and, in the event of their refusal, they are to be dismissed from their functions as professors in the university. "Should this report be true," adds the writer of this letter, and there appears no reason to doubt it, the most celebrated university in the kingdom, and per- haps in Germany, will sustain an irreparable loss by the removal of these professors."

In the debate on Mr. Brien's motion with reference to the Spottiswoode Conspiracy, Sir Robert Peel, in reply to Lord John Russell, stated "that he had never seen the declaration which so much alarmed the noble lord, that it was the intention of certain parties to question the elec- tions of Ireland on the mere ground that the parties re- turned differed from the majority of the English repre- sentatives. He could only add, that this would have been a most preposterous and unjust ground of opposition, and he could hardly believe that it had ever been seriously en- tertained by any rational man." In allusion ic !is state- ment of the right hon. baronet, the Morning CI; ovicle of Friday the 8th inst., has the following comment Now this statement involves, at all events, a complete con demnation of the Spottiswoode Conspiracy. How the right hon. baronet could remain ignorant of the purpose for which the money was subscribed it is not for us to explain but he must have heard last night more than enough to satisfy him that the object of the subscription was that which he deemed so reprehensible. We take the liberty of submitting to, his con- sideration one or two out of a. thousand articles in which the object of the "Sacred Fund is distinctly and explicitly set forth. The object,' says The Times of last September, of the subscription is to relieve (he people of England from packed, fraudulent, and rotten majority of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's journeymen acritators, not one of whom, we verily believe, has a right to show his face within the walls of Parliament., other- wise than by an order for the strangers' gallery. It is, in fact, to decide whether Protestant B),itainsliall legislate for herself or whether the refuse of Ireland shall legislate against her, and in spite of her.' We would fain ask Sir Robert Peel this question. Suppose Mr. O'Connell and the Irish people were to raise a sacred fund to oust from their seats a number of English re- presentativss of fortune, station, and unsullied character—sup- pose Mr. O'Connell and the Irish press were to denounce those Rentlemen as 'journeymen igitators,' as the refuse of Eng- !and,' as men returned by a conspiracy of electors sworn to walk in Irish blood,' and to tell the people of Ireland that the object of their subscriptions was to decide whether Catholic Ireland should legislate for herself, or whether the refuse of England should legislate against her. and in spite of her'— suppose that Popish priests were seen subscribing, and boys from every Popish school and college contributing to such a fund, would Sir R. Peel then declare that the object of all this was merely to try the validity of some disputed returns, or would he not with equal truth and justice denounce the slander- ous press that had asserted—the officious and unchristian priests that had encouraged and assented to these abominable calum- nies; and would he not trace, and justly trace, these cruel slanders to a desire to kindle between the countries a mutual hatred, and to keep alive perpetual dissension

EXPENSES OF STEAM-BOATS.—A steam-packet of 100 horse power, equipped as it ought to be, costs about £ 20,000.; ex- penses of fuel, wages, and victualing, about £ 250 per month tonnage duty, lights, pilotage, and port charges, £ 200 per an- num insurance about £100 per month; small repairs, and winter expenses, about £ 500. These items, with the expense of boiler, which amounts to about C1500 in the ten years a vessel is calculated to last, and a reserve fund of about £ 2000 per annum, for the construction of another vessel, make alto- gether the sailing expenses of such a vessel about £ 1000 per month.—D;e llefovmtr* I

FRANCE.
FRANCE. We have received the Paris papers to Thursday. The Courrier Frari^ais states that letters from Lemberg, the capital of Austrian Gallicia, contain information that the cabinet of Vienna is making a vast magazine of provisions in that city-a circumstance from which this journal infers that Prince Metternich, in viewing the eventuality of a war, does not deem it probable that it will spring up on the part of Russia or he would have hesitated to place his stores so near the Russian frontier. The Triton, which recently arrrived at Toulon from the French squadron off Tenedos, brought intelligence that the squadron under Ca- pudan Pacha had been reinforced since his entry into the Dardanelles by several ships, and that he was preparing again to put to sea. The French admiral was ready to follow him, and to prevent the Turkish ships from disem- barking any troops upon the coast of Africa, of which it was said a. great number were on board the Capudan Pa- cha's fleet.
SPAIN.
SPAIN. A Bayonne letter of the 1st instant mentions that Don Carlos is still at Amurrio, guarded by Castillian troops, he not trusting the Navarrese Basques, and that he dares not come to Estella. O'Donnell wants to attack Aspeitia and Lequeitio; but it is necessary that Buerens, from Vit- toria, should make a diversion, and this is difficult to ob- tain. A large convoy of provisions is waiting for Espar- tero on the frontier, but he does not come to take it. A letter from Madrid, dated the evening of the 28th, gives an account of animated speeches made in the Cortes by Lujan and Olozaga against the address. The former, as a military man, went into the question of the war, and flung much blame on the generals who had conducted it England, he said, had done her duty, and England atone yet from the Queen's speech one would thing that all other powers had exerted themselves with equal sincerity.
GERMANY.
GERMANY. The King of Bavaria has issued an ordonnance restoring the old circles of his kingdom, and their denominations. The Augsburg Gazette of the 2nd contains it. Article 5 says the circle of the Palatinate is formed of the old Rhine circle. Now this, which means Heidlberg and its district, belongs to Baden, to which the King of Bavaria thus re- news his pretensions. The example of the King of Han- over is setting the King of Bavaria mad. The Augsburg Gazette has been stopped in its censures against the King of Hanover: it is even forced to applaud. Alas! poor German press. The Belgianjournals have been prohibited in Prussia. A Brussels letter of the 8th states that all the towns of Flanders have petitioned for the free admission of English coals. In the Chamber M. Zonde had read the report of the committee on the question, which referred the docu- ments to the Minister. Mons had sent a deputation to the King to protest in the contrary sense.
DISTRESSING STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—THREE…
DISTRESSING STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—THREE HUNDRED LIVES LOST. (From the New Orleans Bulletin.) NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3.-Another dreadful accident has occurred upon our waters, which have lately become the scene of so many heart-rending and appalling catastrophes. The steamer Monmouth left this port about a week since, laden with several hundred Indians, a portion of the Creek tribe, as pas- sengers. In travelling up the Mississippi, through Prophet Is. land Bend, she was met by the ship Trenton, in tow by the steamer Warren, descending the river. It was after dark, be- ing near eight at night, and through the mismanagement of the officers, and the obscurity of the scene, a collision took place between the meeting vessels, and the Monmouth immediately sunk from the violence of the concussion. Out of the large number of Indians on board, near 300 perished. Whether any of the crew were saved or not we have not learned. The mis- hap is ascribed chiefly to the neglect of the officers of the Mon- mouth. She was running in a part of the stream where, by the usages of the river, and the rules of the Mississippi navigation, she had no right to go, and where, of course, the descending low did not expect to meet her. Here is another evidence of the gross carelessness of a class of men to whose charge we often commit our personal safety and precious lives. (From the True American.) The fearful responsibility for this vast sacrifice of human life rests on the contractors for emigrating the Creek Indians. The avaricious disposition to increase the profits on the speculation first induced the chartering of rotten, old, and unseaworthy boats, because they were of a class to be procured cheaply and then, to make those increased profits still larger, the Indians were packed upon these vessels in such crowds, that not the slightest regard seems to have been paid to their safety, comfott, or even decency. The crammed condition of the decks and cabins was offensive to every sense and feeling, and kept the poor creatures in a state unfit for human beings. Six hundred were jammed into this boat (the Monmouth), and 300 of them have perished.

Henceforward newspapers will pass free by the London Two-penny Post, except where printed within the limits for the time being of the General Post delivery. Money orders are in future to be subject only to a single postage in addition to the poundage of ad. for the order. The Post-tfffice have also made arrangements to remunerate pilots and others who land letters, &c., from homeward- bound ships. THE QUAKERS AND THE CHURCH.—The Quakers of Middlesbrough, in Yorkshire (the Quakers, who are op- posed to compulsory levies for the maintenance of religious worship) have voluntarily given £ 400 towards the erection of a church in the above rising town, where they are the owners of considerable property.— Globe. HEREFORD REFORM AssoctATioN.—At a very full meet- ing of the Association, on Thursday evening, twenty new members were proposed, accepted, and enrolled: After several members had ably addressed the meeting on the necessity of secret voting, a petition for the ballot was sub- mitted for the approval of the meeting; it was agreed to, and is now in the course of receiving the signatures of the freemen, Electors, and other inhabitants of this city and liberties. The petition may be signed at the Office of the Hereford Times. Ross.—The workmen employed ui making the excava- tions for the foundation of the stables at the new Hotel, Ross, Herefordshire, when about three feet below the sur- face of the earth, came to an immense stone; in which were fixed at equal distances six iron rings, firmiy leaded in. On clearing away the rubbish, it was discovered tholt this large stone formed part of a subterraneous square chambt.' or dungeon 16ft. by 12ft., enclosed by a strong wall, 5ft 6:n. through. The workmen broke up the stone to get out the lead which fastened in the rings, and which weighed nearly 2 cwt. It is said that a gentleman in the neigh- bourhood is in possession of a legend, which states that the place was once a prison, and that the three last prisoners confined there, were, pursuant to their sentence, fastened to these rings, and famished to death. DEATH BY DROWNING.—On the evening of Tuesday se'nnight, as Wm. Hughes, one of the chaise-drivers at the Ivy Bush Inn, Carmarthen, was returning home from Pon- tardulais, he turned his horses down the slip by the bridge to wash their feet; but the flood was so strong at the time. that both horses and man were swept away by the current, and the unfortunate man drowned. The deceased was a sober, honest, and industrious man, and has left behind a widow with four helpless children, who were entirely de- pendent upon him for support. One of the horses swam to the opposite bank, and the other was with great diffi- cul ty towed by a man in a corracle down as far as the lower Brickyard, and there landed.- Ciiiibri(ill. GLAMORGANSHIRE COAL-FIELD.—Within the last few days, two new veins of coal have been struck in the hilly district, likely to furnish the market with a very abundant supply of superior coals. The one is of a bituminous and very cheerful quality, on the Llancaiach estate, the joim property of Lord Dynevor and J. M. Richards, Esq., which is worked by the' under lessees of Sir Christophel Smith, Bart. The other is a coal which we also predic' will be a great favourite, found by the spirited exertions ol of the Messrs. Wayne, of Aberdare, on the property of Mr. William David, at Abernant-y-groes, in that parish. Th. extent of both veins is very great, and they are generally considered to be of as good quality as any in the Princi- pality.— Merthyr Guardian. DREADFUL Loss OF LIFE, AND PROVRDENTIAL ESCAPI FROM DEATH.—A melancholy and fatal accident happened at Llangynog Slate Quarry, on the borders of Montgomery shire, by the falling of several hundred tons of state, See., on two unfortunate individuals, John Humphreys and Griffith Griffiths, who have left widows and young fami- lies in a destitute state. So great was the quantity that immolated them, that about 60 miners from the Lead Works, who gratuitously volunteered, at the peril of their lives, to find the mutilated bodies, were five days before the remains of Griffiths were recovered. This was on Tuesday, the 21st inst. at night, and on the followiug morning, at six, another and as great a fall of the rock took place, on the same spot: thus, had not the men by per- severing exertions made the discovery of the last body, at night, and deferred their meritorious work till the follow. ing morning, every individual would have met the fate of their fellow-workmen. Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, held an inquest.on the bodies on Wednesday last: verdict "ac- cidental death." TITHE OF W oOL.-In the Exchequer Equity sittings or. Tuesday se'nnight, Baron Alderson gave judgment in a case where a farmer, occupy ing two farms, one of which was tithe free, drove the sheep which were usually kept on the othei farm to the tithe free farm to be sheared, in order to avoid payment of tithe on wool. His lordship said that it was evi. dent the sheep had been driven to the tithe-free farm for the purpose of defrauding the rector (the Rev. Mr. Hall, of Houlton, near Buckering, Lincolnshire) of the tithe of wool, and he must decree that an account be rendered 01 the amount of wool thus improperly removed. ROBBERY OF A BANKER'S PARCEL.—Information wa- yiven at the Mansion-house on Wednesday se'nnight, that a parccl directed to Messrs. Capel, Everton, and Co., Royal Exchange, London, including bank-notes and bills of ex- change, had been stolen on the night of Thursday, the 30th of November, either from the Bath mail, or from the Spread Eagle coach-office, in Gracechurch-street. The bank-notes were to the amount of £800, and the bills of exchange, ii is*^aid, to the amount of £1,600. The parcel directed tl. Messrs. Capel and C,b. contained a second parcel. whicl was to be left at Messrs. Barnard and Dimsdale's, and which enclosed the notes. It is already known that a correspondence has take; place between Lord John Russell and those peisons wh< have controul over our great national buildings, such as S: Paul's, Westminster Abbey, &.c. That correspondence is to uc laid before Parliament, and we have had great satis- faction in learning that in the case of St. Paul's his lord- ship's endeavours have been wholly successful. St. Paul's is to be opened to the public, free of expense, every day from nine until eleven o'clock in the morning, and from three to four o'clock in the afternoon. The public are also ? have the benefit of a great reduction in the admission fee to the Tower. The fee is to be reduced from three shillings to one.—Sunday paper. A most distressing accident occurred on Saturday week at one o'clock afternoon, in the Flax Spinning-mill, Port Glasgow, belonging to the Gourock Ropework Company. While one of the workers, Margaret Lang, a little girl about thirteen years of age, was engaged at her emnloyment, hei clothes came in contact with one of the belts attached to the drum, which forms part of the machinery, which was in full power at the time. The unfortunate girl was in a moment dragged to the ceiling; and the first intimation that the other workers got of this tragical affair was the fall- ing on the floor of one of her arms, which had been torn off; immediately after, the remaining part of the body fell, and it presented a shocking appearance the other arm and her two limbs being broken and otherwise rJreadfulh bruised; indeed, her whole body was in an awfully man- gled condition, and the groans of the sufferer were truly piercing. The unfortunate little girl was far beyond the reach of human aid. On being conveyed home she ex- pired in about an hour. DESTRUC TION OF THE MAID OF BUTE STEAMER BY FIRE. -By a letter received last week from Rothsay, we learn that the Maid of Bute, Captain Johnson, was totally de- stroyed by tire while lying at the quay. The fire broke out iu the morning between six and seven o'clock. It originated in the cook's house amidships, and spread with such rapidity that the vessel was speedily burnt down to the water's edge.— Glasgow Courier. COURT-MARTIAL AT CHATHAM.—The finding and sen- tence of the court-martial recently held at Chatham, on Ensign C. S. Dickson, of the 51st Light Infantry, were on Sunday last read to that officer. The court found him guilty of the charges preferred against him, and sentenced him to be dismissed but our gracious Sovereign taking into consideration his youth, his previous excellent charac- ter, and the strong recommendation to mercy by the mem- bers of the court, has been pleased to remit the punish- ment, and order him to be restored to the service. MILITARY MOVEMENT.—The 93d Highlanders are to remain at Cork until the receipt of another despatch from Canada, where, should their services be required, they will most likely be conveyed by a ship of war, as the Maitland is to proceed direct to Gibraltar, accompanied by another transport, for the purpose of embarking the service com- panies of the G8th Light Infantry for Jamaica, and then return with the 34th regtment to Portsmouth.—Evening Pcipfr.

Thursday night a cabriolet drew up to the door of a well known house, near Drory-Jane Theatre, from which two gentlemen alighted, both attired in deep mourning they both entered, and had a private interview with the pro- prietor, and in a short time he (the proprietor) sent one of his waiters to endeavour to find a youog female (who for 'he last 10 days has been seen in the neighbourhood, whose beauty and elegant appearance have causeo an extrani-di- nary sensation among the females of a certain desc>*ptu>n/t and, should he be successful, to desire her to come im-rw.- iliately to the above house, as two gentlemen wished par- ticularly to see her.

Here, 9+ atV there was no mistake he Ballot has, witfr an individual exception or so, nearly he undivided support of the Reformers of Bristol; and .nost important it is that the right direction to this feeling should be given in time to produce its effect, so that thore may be also no mistake" when Alr. Grote's motion comes ibrward within the walls of Parliament after the recess. Let our excellent representative, Mr. Berkeley, be enabled, n carrying out his own acknowledged principles in favour if the Ballot, to show how his constituents sympathise with his feelings in favour of this important step towards lerfecting the independence of the electors ot' .England.

And we are happy to state that an op- portunity of manifesting these wishes will shortly be fur- ushed. A model of Mr, Grote's ballot-box is now on its way to Bristol; and, on its arrival, we are informed that means will be adopted, not only for exhibiting it to 1he public, but for demonstrating its entire practicability, en- orcing its necessity, and proving the utter fallacy of all he really noticeable objections to it use.—Ibid. We understand three of the unfortunate men, taken from the wreck of the Caledonia, and brought to this port by the Russian ship, Dygden, were this week found suffi- ciently recovered to proceed to their homes.

FInE AT THE HAY, BRECON Sir I R E.- Between one and two o'clock on the morning of the 5th inst., a stabie and workshop, belonging to Mr. Davies, currier, were disco- vered to be on fire, and the alarm was immediately given, when the Inhabitants promptly hastened to the spot, and he fire-engine was quickly in full and effectual piny al- houuh the flames assumed a most terrific appearance, threatening the destruction of Mr. Davis's premises, and 'he adjoining house and offices occupied by R. Pembt-it), lisq., solicitor, by the zealous and fearless exertions oi all who assembled to render assistance, their progress was soon arrested, and in less than two hours the fire was effectually extinguished. A large quantity of leather was damaged or spoiled, but the most distressing circumstance ittendanton this calamity was the situation of Mr. Davies, 'he owner of the property, who was in bed fast sinking under severe illness at the times the flames were and his removal became imperative in consequence i f the close vicinity of his bed-chamber to the fire; it was t ffei led with all possible enre, and he was kindly received hy a neighbour, with whom he remained till the tire was sup- pressed he was taken back to his own house, but the ex- citement was too mucii for his weak and declining frame, ind he died the next day, leaving a large family to lament their irreparable loss, under circumstances so peculiarly afflictive; their situation excited the kindest sympathy, and every thing that could be done to mitigate their dis- tress was generously effected by the inhabitants pf the town. The premises were insured. It is supposed the disaster was occasioned accidentally by three vagrants, young men, who had entered the hay loft of the stable for the purpose of sleeping there, and probably one or more of them was smoking and the ashes from the pipe set the hay on fire. They were apprehended, and stated their names to be Jos. Jones, W. Harris, and L. Parry; they were committed to Brecon gaol under the vagrant act, the two first for the sessions, having been convicted of sleep- ing in a hay-loft belonging to Mr. James, of the Rose and Crown, and the latter for one montn's hard v^S^r. MR. PAINE AND MR. LAING.—Sometime since, Mr. Laing, the magistrate, and a medical gentleman, named Paine, in turning the corner of a street in the Strand, came in contact with each other, and, although the latter apolo- gised for the accident, Mr. Laing struck him with his um- brella, and then gave him in charge of a policeman, by whom he was taken to Bow-street on the following morn- ing. As Mr. Laing, however, refused to appear to sub. stantiate the charge of assault which he preferred, and also could not be prevailed upon to apologise and give a cer- tain sum to a charity for having u warrantably given Mr. Paine into custody,an action was commenced against him, which was set down for trial in the Queen's Bench, before a special jury, on Tuesday last. The court, however, was not called upon to try the is: ue, the defendant, at the ele- venth hour, consenting to a verdict against him, with £50 damages, and the payment of all costs.— London Paper. Some of our loyal countrywomen have sent up to Lon- don some specimens of Shetland hosiery, consisting of stockings and gloves, for preseutation to the Queen and the Duchess of Kent. Those stockings are said to be as fine a specimen of our native manufacture as any that have yet been made. They are spun from the lambs' wool, and knit by hand as usual, and notwithstanding the thread is composed of three threads twisted together, such is the de- licacy of the texture, that a pair of stockings can, with ense, be drawn through the smallest wedding-ring.—Inverness Herald.
