YOLANDS SPECIFIC SOLUTION, FOR speedily curing Gonorrhoea, Gleets, Strictures, Irrita- tion of the Kidneys, Bladder, Prostrate Gland, and all Diseases of the Urinary Passages, Pains in the Loins, Stone in the Bladder, Gravel, Lumbago, and Local Debility, &c. CASE OF STONE IN THE BLADDER CURED. ,c- -= Look at the CutTTt represents a Stone expelled by yolands Solution on the 25th of October, 1833, and the Proprietors challenge the whole world to produce a case;in parallel. It weichs one ounce and a half, is three aud abajf inches in length, •ind four and a quarter in circumference. The patient had suf- fered for years, and had instruments passed without success but a shoit continuance of Voland's Solution relieved, and finally removed all her sufferings. She was miserable, but is now happy, and desires her case to be made public. J ler name and address is Mrs. Anne Spillane, 5, Bedford-street, Black- wall, and the medical gentleman who attempted the operation, Mr. Christopher Tatham.ol Peplar. JJ you doubt, apply to the patient; call, or desire some friend to do so, upon the Pro- prietors of the Solution, at 138, HOLBORX, near Furnival's Inn, London, who will gladly afford every facility to enquiry, also shew the Stone, which is now in their possession. Yo- LAND'S SOLU TION is equally efficacious in all the diseases for which it is recommended—it never fails,—read the testimo- fuals,-try it, and you will very soon add yours te the thousands .t has already cured 00 matter how long you may have suf- fered, or how bad your case may appear, for it effectually cures when all other means have failed. The Proprietors being deter- mined to piove it in every way, repeatedly offered FIVE HUN- DRED POUNDS REWARD to any one who could equal it, but no one could. It has established itself upon its own merits alone, for the empirical method of puffing has never been re- soited to—indeed preparations intrinsically valuable, such as Yoland's Solution do not require it.

JAMES THE FIRST AND THE CITIZENS OF LONDON.—A good "tory is related of James the I., and of one of the lord mayors, V reference to the prosperity of the twin cities, and which, for "I happy, quiet laudation of the Thames, it would be unpardon- able to omit. James being in want of £ 20,000. applied to the corporation of London for a loan of that sum. The corpora- tion refused upon which the King, in high dudgeon, sent for the lord mayor and some of the aldermen, and, rating them in SPvere terms for their disloyalty, insisted upon their raising the money tor him. "Please your Majesty," said the lord mayor, we cannot lend you what we have not got." You must gel It," replied the King. We cannot," said the lord- mayor. I'll compel you," rejoined the King. "But you cannot compel us," retorted the lord mayor. "No!" ex- claimed the King; "then I'll ruin your city for ever. I'll make a desert of VV'estminsler—I'll remove my courts of law. my I)arliament, and my court, to York or Oxford, and then what will become of vou V Please your Majesty," rejoined the lord mayor, meekly, "you may remove yourself and your I courts wherever you please, but there will always he this conso- 'I'lon f°r 'he poor merchants of London, you cannot take the 1 hames along with you. —Bentley's Miscellany. IMG MALIGNITY.—The following statement we pledge our- selves to the truth of. A son of the Bishop of Exeter has been '"•elve years a midshipman, during which period he has been in active service, and has been in almost every part of the globe. He is a young man possessing most distinguished talent, con- s"mmate pertonal bravery, and unsullied reputation. Testimo- nials as to his high character, were signed by every officer with- out exception, under whom he has served. Under the sanction of these testimonials, he made application to the Admiralty for promotion, but a hint, not to be misunderstood, was given to him: that the name of Philpotts alone, was a bar to all pro- motion, however in every other respect he might be deserving of est of England Conservative.—[The foregoing has been contradicted from the very best authority, viz., Mr. Philpotts himself!

MINING.
MINING. MINERAL WEALTH or OHIO, U. S.—From an official ex- amination, undertaken in 1837, it is estimated that .BNCNII 12,000 square miles of this state are ,undei!aiA fey coai, and 'll y coa an 5000 by workable beds of t" Variable material, of a mean thickness of six feet, tn many places, several successive beds of the coal are superposed one over the other, with sandstone, iron ore, shale, and limestone, intervening. The coal beds are favourably situated for working, as they are found in the hills and ravines, where they can be drained with little expense) and without deep shafts and expensive machinery} like those of Eli- rope and some other pttrta of the United St'Ales". Every square mile, containing six feet ifcickhess of woikable coal, will yield about e,ooo,\)o\} tooll. which is an abundant annual sup- ply for all the people of this state, both for domestic and manu- facturing purposes and if we allow double this amount for perspective consumption, in consequence of increased popula- tion and manufactures, we have coal within a moderate depth, "ufficlent for 2500 years' consumption. If we consider the va- lue of coal as a means of motive power in propelling machinery, each acre, of the 6000 square W'.Tfes dt coal, couiains, s'ored and ready for use-, a po\W equal to that of. 192 men for 100 years, hours per day. Allowing a profit of only 25 Cftnti (about Is. Id. English) on each cubic yard of coal, an acre would yield a profit of more than 2000 dollars ( £ 413.) where a depth of six feet is worked. On the same authority, it appears that the iron ore deposits in this state 'åie of immense value and importance. They art 'r'cfi—some of them yielding 60 per cent.and ettlly wrought. From the juxta position with the era! and limestone, it is easy to foresee that this branch of manufacture will become a great and inexhaustible source of revenue to the state. At a very low calculation, the iron ore in the region already explored, is equal to a solid ".nbVbken stratum sixty miles in length, six mites itl vVidfn, and three feet in thickness. A square mHe of this layer-being equivalent, in round nembeis, to 3,000,000 cubic yards—when smelted will yield as many tons of pig iron. Multiply this by the num- ber of square miles contained in the stratum (360) and it gives 1,080,000,000 tons, which, from these counties alone, will yield annually, for 2700 years, 400,000 tons of iron-moie than equal to the greatest amount in England previous to the year 1829. From this estimate which, it is believed, is much too low, it appears that the iron ores of Ihi's portion of the state are not only sufficient to supply all domestic demands for ages, but to form art important article of commerce with other states. -These ficts are gathered ftom a notice of a geological survey of the state of Ohio, in the American Journal of Science for July, 1838, and are well worth the attention of some of our enterprising capitalists. 1

RAILWAYS.
RAILWAYS. On the 10th of June, twenty miles of the London and Sou: ampton Railway will be opened, in addition to the thiity eiiht already opened, leaving only eighteen miles incomplete. It is said that the railway company contemplate arrangements wbi. h will enable passengers to complete the whole journey from Loa- ( ion to Southampton in five hours, after the lOih of next motnh, at rates of 12s. and £ 1. This will make all impiovements in the Isle of Wight, matters of more general interest. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The travelling on this line to Maidenhead, has greatly increased with the favourable change in the weather, and appears likely, as the summer comes on, (jreaily to exceed that in the corresponding period of last year. During the week ending the 5th instant, upwards of 12,000 passengers were conveyed, and the receipts, we believe, ex, ceeded C2000. The directors last week, took contracts for some niles of the line between Bath and the village of Box, and the contracts now advertised to be taken, on the 25th instant, will complete the entire line between Bristol and London, with the exception of a small portion near Bath, and one or two bridges, for which the plans will soon be ready. We understand that, generally speaking, the works along the line are pushed forward with great energy and though much remains to be done before the bridges and tunnels in this vicinity can be completed, there seems no doubt that the line to Bath will be ready for traffic, in the course of the next nine months. About half a mile of the great tunnel at Box is now completed, and not the slightest difficulty exists in keeping the works free of water. Where the excavation is carried through the oolite or freestone, the work proceeds with a rapidity greater than that required by the con- tract and as this may be considered the key to the whole line, we have no doubt the directors will take care that no unneces- sary delay takes place in its completion. LLANELLY RAILWAY.— This line will be opened from Lla- nelly to Llandibie, sixteen miles, by July 1, and the mineral produce abounding in this district, will be brought down to the harbour in large quantities. Two splendid locomotives, by Hackworth, of six wheels each, of four feet diameter, and all six coupled with 15-inch cylinders, and each engine weighing e'even tons, will be launched by the opening. RArLWAY TRAVELLING.—To persons who have been in the habit of travelling along the great English lines of railway, it is quite unnecessary to refute the assertion that the convenience of the passengers is not attended to. The luxury of travelling is -a journey in the majl carnage from Liverpool to London. When we remember, like some dream of our childhood, the coach that used to spend twenty-four hours on the way the jolts Ihat every minute shook the aching bones of the passengers -rousing from the snatch of sleep (if sleep it could be called) that seemed almost to make longer the tedious hours of the night—'he constantly recurring memento, change coachman, sir," that assailed you at every stage-the door of the coach held open to admit the cold blast, while, at the same time, each passenger slowly unloosed his complicated muffling to reach the silver piece deposited in the inner fold of his volu- minous vestments-when we remember all these as sufferings which once were to be enduied to accomplish the removal of our precious selves from Dublin to London-and when we find ourselves now wheeled along just as much at our ease as if we were sitting here in our editorial throne-leaving Liverpool after a breakfast made more hearty by the slight heaving of the packet in the night—and reaching London in time for a dinner at a fashionable hour, with not enough of fatigue even to shar- pen the appetite—we are almost led to believe that we have lived thtough centuries instead of years, or that some mighty magician has been upon the earth, and made the changes of years equal to those of centuries. Whenever we hear of any one complaining of the inconveniences of railway travelling, we always wish that we had it in our power to sentence him for the rest of his days to travel by the common ri>ad.—Dublin University Magazine.

It is a most curious fact that since the advance in the rate of interest by the Bank of England, money has become uncommonly abundant, and is offered freely at considerably less than the Bank rate this seems to be caused by many persons endeavouring to employ money now who before withheld it, under a vague impression that something unpleasant was about to happen. There is still a difficulty of negociating bills of a long date, or those which run beyond the time specified by the Bank of England. We understand that money is exceeding y scarce in Lancashire, where so much as 6 per cent. discount is charged currently in private channels. STEAMERS FROM THE CLYDE TO NEW YORK.-—A joint-stock company is now forming in Glasgow, for carrying passengers and merchandise between the Clvde and New York, by means of an iron steam-ship of great power and capacity, to sail at the rate of at least sixteen miles an hour, thereby making a passage in about ten days, and enabling this vessel to make nearly a monthly voyage to America.

SERVANTS.—If a person knowingly give a false character to a servant, and the employer should be a sufferer by him, he may maintain an action on the case for giving a false characer.
