1 LONDON, APRIL 1. ^VERY arrival from Paris excites increased in- terest in consequence of tlie prevailing opinion *hat a Ministerial crisis is at hand: some of the Journals all differences are arranged, whilst others assert J'W a change must take place but none of them pnb- ish any tact to shew that the direction of public aflairs Will be relinquished by the King: consequently, as re will be no change of system, it is unnecessary to enter even 011 a brief recapitulation of the points on nhich the Parisian Journals besto-.v so much time and aoour. Up to Thursday the Ministry continued un- settled, though it was generally supposed that Count lole would have to make the final arrangements of the C I' Cabinet, M. Guizot, his opponent, not being able to arry his point against his Majesty's decided objections. Whatever be the modification of the Cabinet, it would ppear from the re-composition of the bureaux (Com- "ittees) of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, that the vast majority of that body is devoted to the system j -*overninent.

A letter of that date th°ni a mos* respectable quarter (silent like the rest on events) mentions, on the contrary, the arrival in 1 boa of prisoners taken by Espartero from the anisis." Another letter mentions, that on that day i a brigade of Espartero's army was expected 0 Bilboa to receive and escort back to Durango a supply of provisions for the army, Espartero con- inuing to occupy Durango, Guernica, Elorrio," &c. 500 convalescent soldiers were to accompany the escort just mentioned to join the army. Letters from St. Sebastian of the 23d ult. state that a new and deplorable calamity for the Christinos was enounced by the captain of a Spanish coasting vessel, vuo reported that shortly before he sailed from San- ^nder the powder magazine at that place had been ,?w" l,P> destroying two streets, occasioning consider- 1 e loss of life, and a conflagration which was still Proceeding when the narrator sailed.

MONEY MARKET.—An arrangement which has been before hinted at between the Bank of England and the Bank of the United States, for establishing a large ^re(Jit in favour of the latter, for the purpose of drawing bills on England to represent payments made in the United States on English account, is now said to be on he point of being carried into effect. The operation of a somewhat complex nature, but the effect of it l'l be that of making the United States Bank in- debteel to the Bank of England, instead of the houses whose bills have been taken, and to whom advances "ave been made. All that will be accomplished by 1t is the affording to those American merchants who are prepared to fulfil their engagements with this country a medium of payment to which no exception be raised on either side of the water, and which vm rid the circulation of a paper of a doubtful description. For the present the arrangement does not facilitate any transmission of bullion, but rather prevents it; but it has become a most important object, In a commercial poirrt of view, not to force the Ameri- cans to send gold. When the trading difficulties are a Utle adjusted, that end is likely to be accomplished in niore steady and secure manner. The failure of 'essrs. Try and Lightfoot, the bullion brokers, was tnade known this morning, and caused much surprise, as they were known to have au excellent business, and 'Were not believed to be entangled in any of the dan- Rero„s speculations of the day. The only transactions .ich could have compromised them were those in fo- eign exchanges, in which they dealt largely as drawers takers of bills, but the cause of failure has not yet een explained even to their most intimate connexions. Their business in bullion was always conducted with ^.uch intelligence and regularity, which gave them a igh character in that line. Besides this failure, a large e at Liverpool, that of Bentley and Co., has been u need.- Times, pp- fttnli—'l 111 ■■ iHiiT T-n-r-i—rrgnrmr- By command of his Majesty, Sir II. VA-lieatlev, Keeper of the Privy Purse, has forwarded to J. Bowie, Esq. Secretary to the Committee at Edinburgh, the munificent donation of 1001., in aid of the funds for the relief of the present destitution in the Hignlands and Islands of Seotlnnd. The Duchess of Northumberland visits her illustrious elevr, the Princess Victoria, almost daily at the Palaee at Kensington, returning to Northumberland House at five p. m. Although her Grace will, as a matter of course, relinquish her post of governess to the heiress presumptive in two months, yet it is piop<u Duchess will accept an appointment in the 1 nncesb s future establishment. It is reported in the military circles that Lieutenant- Colonel Burdett, only son of Sir F. Burdett, is likely to succeed Lord Bingham in the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the 17th Lancers. Lord William Bentinck has announced that he will not again offer himself as a candidate for Glasgow; and Mr. Gully has publicly expressed his determina- tion to resign the representation of Pontefract. Colonel Evans is said to have declared to the electors of Westminster that he will make his appearance in the House of Commons not later than the 10th of June, on which dav the royal assent given by proclamation to British officers to enter foreign service will expire, after which the command of the Spanish troops now under his orders will devolve upon Spanish officers. Colonel De Lancv, who died at St Sebastian on the 22d inst. from the effects af wounds received in the conflict at Hernani, was the son of the late Major De Lancy, 0/ Guernsey, and a relation of General De Laucy! a distinguished cavalry officer. Previous to proceeding to Spain he was a Captain in the GOth Roya! Rifles but tired, it would appear, of the inactivity of a garrison, he exchanged to half-pay, to join the Auxiliary Legion. Colonel De Lancy had two other brothers in the army, one of them a Captain in the 75th. This ill- fated gentleman was in the prime of manhood, and pos- sessed a private fortune, independent of his pay. The Tories are in the habit of remarking what they call the "defections" from ministers on church-rate questions. What do they say to the vote of Mr. Wyndham Lewis, the Conservative member of Maid- stone, in favour of the ministerial measure for settling that question ? A few months since the Hon. John Canning, a Tory, was elected M.P. for Warwick, and by a majority of 7, obtained, we need not say how we have heard. On Tuesday Mr. Collins, a Whig of the right stamp, was elected M.P. by a majority of 37—substantiating truly a re-action, as we said above—but of the wrong kind for the continuance or prosperity of Conservatism.— Warwick Advertiser. W. Wilkins, Esq. R.A. has been elected by the Royal Academy Professor of Architecture in the room of the late Sir John Soane. The Exhibition, trans- ferred from Somerset House, will open the first Mon- day in Mav in the new edifice in Trafalgar-square. An address to Lord Lyndhurst, inviting his lordship to a public dinner, was signed last week by upwards of 400 of the inhabitants of the city and county of Aber- deen. When the address reached London Lord Lynd- hurt had left town for Paris; but it is confidently ex- pected that his lordship will accept the invitation. It is intended that the dinner shall take place immediately after the close of the session of Parliament. Very considerable excitement has been produced at Maidstone during the last week, by the seizure of goods belonging to Dissenters and members of the Society of Friends, for non-payment of church-rates. The pro- perty was exposed for sale in the market-place, but neither bidders nor buyers could be obtained, and the whole ultimately fell to the lot of the brokers. Does not this fact foretel the final issue of the question? The John Barry left Dundee on Friday, with emi- grants, young and old, to the amount of 328. This includes a very young one, a boy, who was born on board. The vessel carries five months' provisions and water for 350 individuals. The two infant female orphans of the late Colonel Brereton, who was sacrificed at Bristol, are about to sail the latter end of this month for the Cape of Good Hope. These children will carry with them the sword which was presented to their father by the officers of the 49th regiment. We regret to hear that the hosiers of Leicester were obliged last Saturday to discharge nearly all their hands (amounting to some thousands in the town and country) for a fortnight, owing to the badness of the trade. — Stamford Mercury. At a special meeting of the Deputies of the Protes- tant Dissenters, held on Wednesday last, Henry Wey- mouth, Esq. in the chair, the following resolutions were adopted: — "That the Members of this Deputation express their sincere satisfaction with the measure introduced into Parliament by the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the abolition of Church-rates, wherehy hy that tax, unjust in its principle towards the Dissenters, will in future be defrayed from an improved income to be derived from church lands, and thus relieve all classes of his Majesty's subjects. They hail this proceeding as tending to restore peace and harmony among neighbours and fellow Christians, and as ex- tinguishing the oppression by which, to a great extent, the col- lection of this impost is attended. On the contrary, should this healing proposition be rejected, they cannot but fear the increased animosity and heart burnings which will unavoidable arise throughout the country. That while they congratulate the great body of the Dissenters of this country on the recognition by the House of Commons of a principle which must eventually secure the abolition of Church- rates, they call upon their fuands to advance the progress of this measure by the presentation of petitions to the Legislature- by requesting their representatives to support them in Parliament I 1 0 —and by the use of every other legal and constitutional means." PUBLIC ESTRY OF NI It. BAINKS AND Sut W. Moms- WOHTH INTO LEED-. They were received in the most enthusiastic manner by neatly fifteen thousand individuals --another signal proof of that re-action which the Tories assure its is in progress all over the country! At the public dinner which was given in honour of these two staunch Re- formers, the best possible feeling was evinced towards Mi- nisters. Mr. Baines said and his remarks on this subject were received with unanimous cheering— '• I consider the present the best Administration that ever go- verned this country. I do say that you shall search through our history, from the earliest time to the present day, and you shall not find a Ministry which has done so much to increase the hap- piness, and augment the prosperity of the people, as the Adminis- tration which now exists. This is high praise, but not a whit more so than the objects of the Honourable Gentleman's encomium deserve. The 0 Melbourne Government—though they are not without their defects-are, taken as a whole, the best set of men that ever swayed the destinies of England and did we need further proof of this, we should find it in the deep, implacable, un- nndying hatred botne towards them by the Tories. Pray Heaven they may long continue in the full fruition of this hatred, for it is only to be earned by unceasing attention to the best interests of the people! Mr. Baines went on to say— Ministers had given them several Bills of importance, and among them the most prominent, one for the abolition of Church- rates,-( Cheers).—It depends upon you whether or not that mea- sure is carried, for I know that the feeling of the present Admi- nistration is this. They say, 'We are ready to fight the battles of liberty, and if the people are ready to accompauy us we will go »vilh them and conquer for the n.'— (Cheers ).—If, on the contrary, I say, the people are not so disposed—if they choose to be bearded by the Bishops—if they choose to be outwitted by those least trnst-wortby of all public trustees—(hear and laughter)—if they "•boose to submit to ihe dominion of men, who, impatient of their own power and of their own aggrandisement, are disposed to dis- turb the peace of the Church at an opportunity when they might restore to it all the blessings of peace and tranquillitv-(hear, lent ) — I say> jf t|ie people of England choose to submit to such uounnation, let them submit to it, and let them pay the penalty of their want of spirit and their want of energy.( Loud and con- tinued cheering). Both Mr. Baines and Sir W. Molesworth dwelt on the paramount importance of doing justice to Ireland and Sir William was particularly eloquent on the absurd hopes of the pe Tories that they shall be able to succeed in oppressing Ire- land by first deluding England. Do they think, lie exclaimed that the people will ever agnin consent to be ill treated by a Tory domination ?—( ATo, no ) Why do the Tories think that such a people will ever consent to become again the slaves of a foul and accursed faction? (Loud cheers). -It is now seen, Gentlemen, that all popular measures all liberal enactments, are to be rejected by a majority of the House of Lords, and then, by means of that majority the Tories are going to seize the reins of ollice, and again attempt to rule over this country. Then it is said that the great military chief the Duke of Wellington, is to be sent as viceroy to Ireland, to treat that country as an insurgent province, and rule over it ac- cording to his well-known maxim, that that which is gained by the sword must be kepi by the sword. I ask, will the people of England permit tlus 1-( Loud cries of No). I ask, will the people of Ireland tamely submit themselves to be oppressed in this way, and to be put down by a few members of the aristo- cracy ?-( No, no).—I tell the Tories, If they make the attempt they must fail, and they must fail in blood. for there is a people in that country, who, at all hazards, will abide the consequences of a struggle against the Lords and the Tories combined and there are thousands and tens of thousand of intelligent men in England who will back them in their noble attempts to obtain justice for Ireland."—( Great cheering, which lasted for Some time.) It is gratifying to perceive that no attempt was made, either in the Cloth-hall-yard or at the dinner, to create divi- sions by the introduction of that stalking-horse of the Tories, the new Poor-law. The people see the drift of the Tories, and will no longer allow themselves to be played off against sincere Reformers by the enemies of all improvement. They have taught them by the victory at Warwick that honesty is, after all, the best policy. The disgrace of pandering to prejudices, has been productive of no profit. ADDRESS FROM THE PEOPLE OF IKF.LAND TO THE PRINCESS VICTORIA.-At a meeting of the General Asso- ciation on Tuesday, Mr. O'Connell moved that it should be referred to the Committee to prepare an address for the adoption of the people of Ireland, to the Princess Victoria, congratulating her iioyal Highness on becoming of age in May next. He introduced this resolution by a speech of considerable length, in which he lauded the virtues of the Duchess of Kent, praised the education of the Princess Victoria, and attacked the Times for an article recently published in that journal respecting the rumoured appoint- ment of Lord Durham as head of the household of the Princess. A paragraph in an obscure provincial paper was, he said, made the pretext for this "flagatious" article; but the writer was unable to fix upon a single point warranting him in finding fault with the conduct of the revered and excellent Mother of the Heiress to the British Throne.— Mr. Finn, M. P., seconded the motion, and stated that he had examined the proceedings of the Orange Lodges, on which he found that the health of the Princess Victoria had a been carefully secluded at their meetings, whilst the head of the Orange conspiracy (Duke of Cumberland) was inva- riably toasted.—The resolution was unanimously adopted. DEATH OF Mils. FITZHERBERT.—This ladv, whose health has for some considerable time been declining, died on Monday night at ten minutes past seven o'clock, at her mansion on the Old Steyne, Brighton, in the 93d year of her age. Eor some years Mrs. Fitzherbert has not joined many parties, but has received visits from all our leading fashionables. This much respected lady had latterly been subject to an asthmatic oppression on the chest, which in- creased to an alarming degree by the effects of influenza. Mrs. Fitzherbert, who was Miss Smythe, was first married to the late Mr. Weld, of Lulworth Castle, a brother of Car- dinal Weld. To the last she retained traces of her former celebrated beauty of appearance.—This distinguished Lady has occupied too extraordinary a place in the history of the country for her demise not to demand some tribute of res- pect and record. Those who will look back to some of the events that marked, in a very peculiar manner, the begin- ning of the latter half of the reign of George III., will re- member the very interesting and remarkable position she then occupied in this country. Having avoided, by every means in her power, the position that afterwards became her lot; united by the forms of the Church to one who for many years had sought her; placed on an eminence whence she could do more injury, public and private, than any one ever before her since the commencement of the last cen- tury—by die effect of her personal charms, and the sim- plicity and integrity of her character, finding herself at the head of society, she thus, through a long life, succeeded in winning the respect of all those who were, by the circum- stances of her situation, brought into contact with her; and when we say this, vve mean that we have reason to believe that, from nearly the first moment her name became con- spicuous in the annals of this country, she enjoyed the es- teem and expressed regard of the very highest personages in it. The influence she possessed was always exercised for the honour of the personage she was, by the forms of her Church, united to. His honour, that of the country, and his position in it, were, it is well known, the first objects of her anxiety. Through an existence prolonged beyond the lot of most people, she made more real friends than almost any one we are acquainted with. The honour, frankness, and straight-forwardness of her disposition, procured her the intimate acquaintance of some of the most eminent of the times in which she lived. In her more familiar circle she was generous, indulgent, and hospitable. She retained in advanced age the warmth, the enthusiasm, the freshness, and disinterested feelings of youth. Her piety was fervent and unostentatious. Her life was one of active benevolence. Her cheerfulness was very remarkable, and evidently the result of the pleasure she was herself afforded by making others happy. Many are those who have been the objects of her generosity to a very unusual degree. Charity was never asked of her in vain. Very numerous are the persons who for years have existed on her support. To her more immediate attendants she was at once a friend and a bene- tactress. She has sunk into the grave full of years. A LUNATIC LRGtsLATOR.—A Member of Parliament Mr. Barham, who succeeded Mr. J. Brougham in the re- presentation of Kendal, has been declared, on due legal in- vestigation, of unsound mind, and the jury state, u had been so since the 21st of April last." We infinitely admire the nicety to which these examinations are now brought, since it seems little less than miraculous to be able to declare the very day on which the mind, hovering between soundness and insanity, finally sunk into the latter. We wonder how many votes Mr. Barham has given since the 21st of April in last year. He has now been a lunatic legislator for about a twelvemonth, and we are tather curious to know whether his mind is considered unsound" enough to oblige him to give up his seat in the house. We know that honourable iiiciiitrci a nic c.vticmcly'tolerant on thta score, and a man must indulge in absurdities to a vast extent ere he becomes uufit to legislate for a nation at large. It would be, indeed a singular calculation to ascertain the precise amount of folly that an M.P. might commit without an impeachment of his sanity. We never recollect lunacy being satisfactorily proved from mere legislative eccentricities, but 110 sooner does a man carry his oddities into private life, than his friends, ever watchful for his good, get him pronounced insane without much ceremony, and restrain his mental weaknesses within reasonable compass. Notwithstanding Mr. Barham being insane for th £ past year, not a hint has been given of his being a worse M.P. than his brethren which goes strongly to prove that lunacy, as regards politi- cians, excites very little surprise among honourable members and is altogether a trifling calamity compared with its oc- currence in domestic life. COLD WATER y. I NTF MPFRANC r. Tti temperance is a disease of the stomach This its feverish heat naturally points out, and cold water is, of course, the remedy; for cold counteracts (cures) heat. 'Tis the remedy of Nature herself. 'Tis a law of God, which is superior and goes be- fore that of man. For the laws of man are not strong enough to save a fellow creature when given to strong drink. No they are not; there must be help, and that help is water- therefore, whenever you feel an inclination to drink spiritu- ous liqnor (grog) drink cool, fresh water. Fill the stomach -yea fail not to fill the stomach with cool, fresh water, and in a very short time you'll make a temperate out of a very intemperate person.-New York Sun.
- AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR…
AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR MARCH. As the day begins to lengthen The cold begins to strengthen." Such was the saying of the olden time long before the alteration of the Style; but in this most singular year we may very correctly, for "begins," read "continues;" and in good verity our notice for this third month of the year might, with the utmost propriety, be considered a meteoro- logical, rather than an agricultural report; for, if we except the incipient swelling of the hawthorn buds, there has been no perceptible advance in the.progress of any of the agricul- tural crops. In looking over the averages of temperature which have been registered on the evidence of long-continued' observation, we perceive that the mean for January should be about 35 or 36 degrees, for February 38 degrees, and for March 43 degrees, or rather higher. Now, although the average of the past January surpassed that of the tables, yet owing to the almost entire absence of sun, every vegetable production remained torpid; February improved in character and afforded more sun, but it terminated with snow and frost, and the torpor continued. In one respect the month proved most seasonable, as the ditches and water-courses were filled the wells also, and underground sources of water were amply replenished and we have reason to be- lieve that for years past there has been no provision of water at a great depth below the surface, which could compare with that of the present season. We anticipate much pros- pective good as respects the growth of underwood, timber, and fruit trees during the ensuing summer. March was in- troduced with a cold and frosty air from the N.E., and its course, to the 19th inclusive, was of a character so even and undeviating as to be a subject of surprise to the practised observer of meteorological phenomena. The thermometer at eight in the mornings varied so little, that the average of the whole period may be stated at 32 degrees, the freezing point of Fahrenheit's scale. The medium at two o'clock in the afternoon of the nineteen days was very nearly 36 de- grees, while that of the nights, taken at ten o'clock^ was, as neaily as possible, 32J degrees. The day of the Equinox (the 20th), when the sun entered the sign of Aries, and the m spring quarter began, produced a remarkable change frost of a very severe power set in, and with it scuds of snow, driven by a very stiff breeze, recurred during five successive days. Our thermometer indicated 24, 25, 26 decrees morn- ings and nights, while its utmost altitude at mid-day did not exceed 34 degrees in the shade, during brilliant and power- ful sunshine; the wind blew chiefly from some easterly point, but it veered to the west on the 25th day and now (28th), for the first time has raised the temperature at two P.M., to 44 degrees, and permitted the evening to pass over without frost. We have heard, however, that in Essex no snow had been seen, while in the counties west of the me- tropolis, it had fallen in great abundance. Under all these circumstances, tho'lgh the three past weeks were decidedly dry, the Equinoctial prognostic imy be viewed as doubtful; because the barometer began to fall at that period, the wind went to south of east, and though no rain fell snow came in lieu of it: the average temperature has also been nearly ten degrees below the ordinary mean and this, probably indi- cates the approach of much wet weather. On every ac- count, therefore, the entire season must be deemed anoma- lous, and that no ordinary rules can be safely made to apply to a case which is, in its very nature, an exception. Of the future progress of the crops no opinion can be hazarded: everything remains as it was Christmas; the grass, in fact, is far more defective in its verdure, and the wheat, clover, and tares, are diminutive beyond example. Still it should appear that no injury has been sustained, and up to the period of frost and snow farmers were congratulating themselves on the state of the weather, as it rendered the soil tractable and free to the utmost extent of their wishes. Peas, beans, and oats, have been sown under every advan- tage. and some have commenced ploughing for barley: thus there is no ascertained ground of fear, and a melioration, with genial showers, and alternating warm gleams of sun, will not fail to produce a rapidity in vegetation which will, in a very few days, effect an astonishing and most gratifying change.

I care not how I am physicked, so it be not by the adventure of a Quack, but advice of a Physician, who I am snre will prescribe no more for me than may consist with my safety, and need doth require."—CM IJivme. DR. JOHN ARMSTRONG, who gave the pro prietor this invaluable prescription, was the author of the splendid works on T) phus and Scarlet Fever; and on the Prin- ciples and Practice of Physic, published by Rix. These Pills are scientifically prepared for the Proprietor, a Gentleman of private fortune, by his Wholesale Agent, Mr. John T. Eddy, Chemist, Bishop Storford, whose name and address (to prevent imposition) are engraved in white letters on the Govern- ment Stamp Each box is also sealed with a tower, on a shield of ermine and gold, the Proprietor's arms. None else genuine. From the very extraordinary relief afforded by these Pills to BILIOUS PERSONS, the sale is becoming truly immense. All the Wholesale Houses supply them to the Trade; and every re- spectable patent medicine vender, and many of the chemists, in London, and in the country (where the Agents have become too lIumerons any longer to be advertised without apparent partiality), retail them to the public, in boxes at Is. ljd. and 2s. 9d. each. Hundreds of striking cases and flattering testimonials might be noticed; but each BILIOUS SUFFERER who tries these Pills (most costly in their preparation to the proprietor) will furnish a sufficiently satisfactory and convincing case of cure or relief to himself. For some of the cases and testimonials, see the Sun, Watchman, Mark Lane Express, and the Envelope of each Box. OBSERVE! Be sure and ask for, and have PA UVs, for no Medicine Vender need sell a spurious or another A rticle for this, as they can always obtain the same of any of the Wholesale Agents.

Eminent Men have borne testimony to the extraordinarv cures it haseffiCted. Thousands are now living to esteem the Balsam a woi-dei ful blessing, and recommend it 10 their friend*. WONDERFUL TESTIMONIALS. Mrs. SMITH, wife of Mr. Smith, Plumber, Paititer, and Glazie Kingsland-road, had been many years afflicted with a violent cou^h, and wasting away of the frame, which lia(i confined her to her bed for a length of time. Several eminent Medic-il Men were of opinion that she never could recover, as consumption had taken place. Slit- had al50 been under the Dispensary for the care of consumption and asthmas, but without producing the least alleviation of the disease. The husband was informed that Paul's American Balsam had performed very extraordi. nary cures, was determined to try it, and wonderful to relate, before she had taken three bottles, and used as a mild aperient Paul's Dr. Baillie's Pills, she was enabled to get up and eat a mutton chop; and before she had taken five bottles she was completely restored to health, and per- formed a day's ironing. RICHARD GAINES, of Upper Ground street, olackfriars, Lighterman, had been troubled for twenty years with a dreadlul cough, attended with shortness of breath, which used to confine him to his bed every w inter for weeks, was restored to perfect health by the American Balsam, and taking a mild aperient, Dr. BaIllie s Pills.

TH r, utility and benefit of Gingei as a family or A. domestic Medicine lias been long known and deservedly appreciated; and as a stimulant or tonic is acknowledged by many eminent Medical Practioneis to be one of the mo,1 va- luable Aledicir.cs in the Materia Medica bill, useful as it is acknowledged to be, its application has been hitherto very li- mited, in Consequence of the unpleasant sensations often expe- nenced in adniiuis:eriiig a sufficient dose of the powder. such as excessive heat alld irritation of the fauces in the act of swallow- ing, and a subsequent nneasy sensation in the stomach and bowels, &c. All these objection* are now completely overcome by the introduction ol this elegant preparation, which is mare from the pith of the finest Jamaica G inger that is imported, the exterior coat or bark being rejected. 1111' pub (one ounce of which i- equal in strength to fonr ounces of powdered Jamaica Ginger) undergoes a tedious chemicul process, by which nlone the whole of its active principles can be separated, and is now offered to the public in the very desirable form of a Concen- trut. d Fluid Essence, in one tea spoonlul ot which the wl,o'e active principles of an ounce of the best White Jamaica Ginger is concentrated, and from its extreme pleasantness may be taken in any vehicle. In all nervous complaints, and hypochondriacal affections, it is wonderfnlW succe^sf, 1, acting as a gentle stimulus oil lie to- mach, diffuing a mild and cordial wiirmili over the whole system 9 it assists digestion, removes flatulency, pain in the stomach, gid- diness. head-ache, &c. and exhilarates the spirits, thereby mcri. ingthe necessity, which too often compels nervous persons to have recourse to ardent spirits, in hope 01 obtaining a temporary c relief, to which practice hey soon become habituated, and the fatal results are too known 10 require repetition. III this preparation they will experience all the relief afforded by such baneful practices, unatten ded Ly their subsequent injurious el- fects. In the above complaints, one tea-spoonful should be taken in a glass of wine, or any other vehicle, three timesa day This Essence proved in numerous cases. during the prevailing epidemic of 183-2, to be decidedly successful in cases of cholera or spasms of the stomach and bowels. For gout or rheumatism, both as a preventive and remedy, this Essence stands unequalled. Many per-ons who were for- tuerly martyrs to the gout, by taking one tea spoon u! in their tea daily, during the space of five years have not had single attack; and those now afflicted will find a more speedy and permanent benefit from this than any other sptcific extant. In spasm, a tea-spoutifill taken during the attack, never tails to give reiief, and may be repeated occasionally, if necessary. As an outward application; the Es-ence of Ginger is particu- laily serviceable.
