Sear Sir , —I cannot leave England -without acknowledging the benefit I have received from your invaluable Cough Lozenges . Having been afflicted for the last thirteen years with frequent and severe attacks of Asthma and short breath ( particularly in winter time ) , I sought ; for three years , for a remedy at the most renowned apothecaries in London—bnt in vain—I could find no relief whatever ; when fortunately I met with your establishment , 79 , St . Paul ' s Church-yard , and as soon as I made use of your incomparable lozenges , the expectoration was dislodged without pain , and my breath became entirely free ; and by taking only one or two at bed time , my sleep was never once disturbed during the whole night . Therefore I am perfectly convinced that I owe my existence to your famous lozenges . Many of my friends are now your customers , and the undersigned willingly add their names to this certificate in testimony of the benefit which they also have derived from the use of your lozenges .

It contains all the practical instructions , together with Plates , describing Farm-house , Oifices , . Tank , Farm-yard , &c . ; with particular information requisite for carrying out all the operation ? . 1 T . B . —Tin above work may still bt procured in numbers , price 6 d . each . " I have , within the hist few months , visited every part of France , and I declare that I havs seen more misery in one street in Dublin than in . all Franco ; the people are 1 well dad , well fed , and merry ; they are all employed on ; Small Fabms 0 / their ovm , or on equitable taking * !"—¦ Tide Lard CtonGUrrtfs Letter in Morning CironuXe , Oct 1 fift , 1843 . . Those persons desirous of bettering their condition and of becoming "Iwtependmt Idbouren" by entering the "Productive-labour" Market , will do well to read "A Practical Workon Small Farms , " by Feabgos O'Conkob ., Es < . It contains much useful information , invaluable to the parties for whom it was written ; and Old Farmers ' trill find many useful lessens in the new system of husbandry , which they have yet to learn . The work displays great practical knowledge , and is written bo that any ona who reads may understand . Mr . O'Connor seems not to have used either the old » r ' new nomenclature' in this work ; he has not buried his meaning in chemical technicalities , which very few underBtani , but which most writers on agriculture seem so desirous of using . Perhaps they do not understand the practice of Farming so well as the theery ; and , therefore , mystify that which they cannot explain , by some long chemical term , vrliicli the plain reader may pass over as a "Mrd wort , " hard to pronounce , and harder to understand when It is pronounced . The render win find that Mr . O'Connor has avoided all those hard names , and suited the language to the toiling labourer , whose college is generally tht workshop , or , at best , the Sunday School . Though the work is written for holders of Small Farms , yet no Allotment Tenant ought to be without it ; the valuable information it contains respecting tilling and cropping is alike useful to alL" —Extract from a Farmer ' s Letter . " This really useful little volume ought to be in the Bands of every on * at all connected with agricultural pursuits . "—Lloyd ' s Weekly London Newspaper . " Although we feel no desire , in the language of the proud Peruvian , in contemplating what we hope to rejoice in , the contentment , prosperity , and comfort of our fellow men , to exclaim— " This , this is my work ; " nor is our object , as Mr . O'Connor declares his to be , " that each man who is willing to work may be independent of every other man in the world for Ms daily bread , " yet we can with much pleasure recognise in the book before us a powerful instrument for aiding in developing in man a -orach higher destiny than h » has hitherto attained . . "Mr . O'Connor shews clearly , what will soon be apparent 6 all who reflect deeply , that we are not left without the beans of obtaining not only all that is physically requisite for man ' s progress , but also that wo may readily proiice what is apparently desirable ; for none who carefully peruse this work can doubt that a system of small farms , held by active and industrious labourers , would amply return , in exchange for healthful exertion , far more than is requisite to preserve physical strength , " He also shows thatsomethingmore than this is requisite to ensure happiness , for he says in page 121 , " I feel convinced that man can place no reliance whatever upon bis fellow man , or a community of men , when circumstances operate upon his or their minds , the influence and effect of which would be stronger than any abstract notions of justice . For instance , if a community of labouring men purchase a quantity of land , and hire labour for its cultivation , however just their intentions and pure their motives , they trill nevertheless feel themselves justified in raising the price of the land , according to the improved value conferred upon it by the labour of the hired workman . This power of steadily trenching upon the rights of others is one of the greatest disadvantages against which the labourer has to contend ; and those hired by a community , at the end of tweuty years would be in no better condition than they were at starting , while the community of proprietors would have increased the value of their property twenty-fold ; that is , they would have robbed those labourers , by whose industry the value was increased , of nineteen shillings in the pound . " "These . remarks are powerful arguments in the sphere in which they are written , and if examined in their relation to the universal , they confirm the testimony tbat " The earth is the Lord ' s , and all that therein is ; tho round world and they that dwell therein . ; " for , after partaking freely of what is good for each order of creation , any self-appropriation , by whatever parties indulged in , is from evil , and will produce its consequence , namely , vice , crime , and misery . " We can strongly recommend Mr . O'Connor ' s work to our readers , containing a great amount of practicalinforxnaiion , on agriculture , "which should be most popularly diSused .

      Price Two Shillings . FIFTEEN LESSONS on the ANALOGY and SYNTAX of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for tht use of adult persons who have neglected th « study of Grammar . By TTu . Hili . Fifth edition , revised and amended . The Lessons in these works are intended solely for the useof natives . They are divested , therefore , of all those hair-breadth distinctions and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled in them from the folds of mysticism whicb have so long enshrouded it . Th » absurd and unmeaning technicalities which pervade all other works on Grammar are exchanged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirclynewprinciple , founded on a philosophical consideration of the nature of language . The necessary divisions and subdivisions are rationally accounted for , and the principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as clearly as it understands that two and two make four . In Syntax , the formation of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary reference to other languages . A majority of ths numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shewn to be little better than a heap of senseless tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational principles , and illustrated by a variety of examples . By the use of the fifteen lessons , and the accompanying exercises , anyone may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar , without any fit the disgusting drudgery which , under the present system , prevents nine out of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar » t alL "A competent Grammatical knowledge of our own lsfiguas * is tb « true btsis on which all literature ought t » mfc "— : Bishop Xwft . *? Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it is encumbered . Justly condemning the too . frequent practioe of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to me- ; mory as tasks , he maintains that the only proper way to the memory is through the understanding .. It is bnt justice to him to say that , in a few pages , he gives a mora clear and comprehensive view' of the structure of the English language than can be found in some very elaborata works .

OPINIONS OF THE TRESS . "We regard the work before us , the "Silent Friend , " as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood , and passed over by tho majority of the medical profession , for -what reason w « ave at a loss to know . We must , however , confess that a perusal of this work . has left such a . favourable impression on our minds , that we not onl y recommend , but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly , or suffering from indiscretion , to profit by the advice contained in its pages . "—Age and Argus . "The Authors of the "Silent Friend" seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which axe , we fear , too prevalent in the present day . The perspicuous stjle in which tuisbool ^ is written , and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of-entering the marriage stale , cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal .

Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaint * ad arise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphilitic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state of chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences , arising from this dangerous practice , are not confined to ' its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited deviating mind into a fertile field of scducive error—into a gradual but total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decrepitude , and all the habitudes of old ago .

      A CURE IFOR ALL ! HOLLOW AY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS . EXTRAORDINARY CUS 2 of a Case abandoned by J 2 l SOY'S , tie METROPOLITAN , KING'S COLLEGE , and CHARING CROSS HOSPITALS .

Brooke , Messenger , of 2 , Union-street , Southwark , London , maketh oath and saitls , that he ( this deponent ) was afflicted with Fifteen Running Fleers on his left » rm , and ulcerated sores and wounds on both legs , for which deponent was admitted an out-door patient at the Metropolitan Hospital , in April , 1841 , where he continued f « r nearly four weeks . Unable to receive a cure thwe , the deponent sought relief at the three following hospitals : —King ' s College Hospital in May . for five weeks ; at Guy ' s Hospital in July , for six weeks ; and at Charing Cross Hospital at ths end of August , for some ¦ wttika more ; which deponent left , being in a far worse condition than when he had quitted Guy ' s , where Sir Brt > nsby Cooper , and other medical officers of the establishment , had told deponent that the only chance of wiving his lift was to lose his akh ! The deponent thereupon called upon Dr . Bright , chief physician of Guy's , who , on viswing the deponent's condition , kindly and liberally said , " I am utterly at a loss what to do for you ! but here is half a sovereign ; go to HOLLO WAY , and try what affect his Pills aud Ointment will have , as I have frequently witnessed the wonderful effects they have in Aeeptrate cases . You can let me seo you again . " This unprejudiced adviec was followed by the depoWnt , and a mhifbct curb effected in three weeks'by the usealona of HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT , after four Hospitals had failed ! When Dr . Bright was shown by the deponent the result of his advice and charity , he said , " I am both astonished and delighted , for I thought that If I ever saw you again alive , it would bo without your arm ; I can only compare this cure to a charm !"

Powell , the solicitor to the Minti ' H obligingly furnished us . > hi M The first that is known of her is as the wife of M soldier serving under Sir John Moore in Spain nJl whom she " followed to the field " -trudgin » £ 1 with the army and its gallant leader through ft 3 on 1 and remarkable retreat , till the battle of Corun , 'i After this she was with the armyunder "theDuW ^ in Portugal , and during the whole of the Peiiinsu 4 | war , whether merely as a camp-follower , or witli foj i husband , is not known ; but he is supposed to \\ mIM been lulled in someone of the many-engag 2 : § that took place , and she to have consoled heraelf « M H another , if not many more . In one engagement ni ( i if the enemy , the serjeant-major of the reginiont sk KB on which it

      followed was killed by a shot ^ ( while j = Sj imagined the engagement still continued ) she con f $ trived to get at the body , and rifle the dead nian ' i U . " kit" of its contents . Among them were his marriage ^ and other certificates , which she carefully conceals % and preserved for after-use . ^ On returning Jiomj . l she passed herself off as the widow of this Ser jeant . % major , in order to obtain a pension ; and afterwards % on a nurse ' s place in Chelsea Hospital becoming ® vacant , she applied for and obtained it , also as the 8 searjeant-major ' s widow ; having all the necessary 8 documents , she was enabled to answer every queatioi . U

      and her identity was never doubted . But when she If had . been comfortably located here for some time , f ! the real widow came home ! Her application for j j ^ pension , its denial on the ground that the widow was already provided for , and the real widow ' s rcitcc . ¦ c atcd assertions that she was the widow , caused an investigation by the late Sir Charles Grant . The % result was , that Biddy was turned adrift on the " wide wide world , " and was lost sight of for several ^ years . Her first reappearance was in the character ^ of a coiner , as which she was tried and convicted in I 1828 , and sentenced to a year ' s imprisonment . Tn I 1834 . she was again tried ; but this time under the $ name of Lockwood , and in company with her second I husband , whose real name , however , was Stafford : | and who was a very skilful mason by trade . Ho was K convicted , and she was then acquitted as bcinn- his I

      wife , and supposed to be acting under his direction W In 183 G she was convicted at Ayleabury for coining m and she then said she was fifty-five years of age . Site M was again tried for the same offence at Warwick , in If 1838 , but acquitted , owing to insufficiency of evi- M dence ; and in July of the same year she was agaia If tried , and this time in connection with a woman y $ named Eliza Perceval , the offence being the same fj Lockwood ( prisoner ) got eighteen Months' imprison- -I incnt , and her companion twelve months . From I that time till the present apprehension of Airs . Mul- ; | hern , alias Lockwood , &c , Mr . Powell had almost I entirely lost sight of her ; sometimes he thought he 1 recogmsed her business-talent in the different cases I forwarded to him , but was not able to follow out I the clue . In the answers she nojv gave to the ques- : ttions contained in the " Description Paper , " prisoner | had in ahnost every case given false statements , not M wishing , doubtless , to renw her acquaintance with §

      the Mint solicitor ; and when confronted with him , $ she stoutly denied all previous knowledge of Mr . i Powell , till lie mentioned one or two "passages" in « her life , when she said , " Ah ! told you that H tale . " In 1823 , Lockwood ( her husband ) was con . § ricted at the Surrey assizes of coining , » te ., am ) l | sentenced to one year's imprisonment , hi IS 33 he fl was convicted at Warwick , and sentenced to six 1 months' imprisonment . The following year iie was If tried and convicted at Stafford , and sent to gaol for f" | one year . For the next tln-ce years little or nothing- 1 was heard of him ; but in 1838 he was tried at War- I wick , where he got three months' imprisonment ; and fj in January , . 1839 , lie was tried at Gloucester , and !« sentenced to a year ' s imprisonment . Lastly , lie was f apprehended at Abingdon , in the following , or ( lie | year after that , with a woman of the name of Harriet ii

      Thompson , whom he had taken to supply the place of I his wife on her being sent to prison " for eighteen I months ; and on the 25 th of January he was trans- ported for life , and she ( Thompson ) was imprisoned I for two years . Ann Lockwood , if we recollect avialvt , I was not actually aware of her husband ' s fate W ' sk I saw Mr . Powell in Leicester gaol . Atihe expiration s of her term a subscription was raised h enable the | woman Thompson to iollow her " husband" to Svd- ney , and sho arrived there safely . In October last a the governor of Abingdon . gaol had received a letter 3 from her , stating that "James" ( Lockwood or f Thompson ) was regularly employed by the chief H builders of Sydney , and at good wages ; while she had % also obtained profitable employment .

" The various forms of bodily aud mental weakness , incapacity ; suffering , and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated on principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor ; or , where debility has made threatening inroads , tho moans of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as parents , guardians , heads of families , and especially of public schools , is confided the care of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from tho routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for tha correct treatment of sexual infirmities . "If we consider the topics touched upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved .

It shows how' Manlj Vigour' temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled in . dulgence of the paasions , can be restored ; how tho sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellowman , can regain the vigour of health and moral courage . The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearanco of their youthful offspring ; how tht attenuation of the frame , palpitation of the heart , derangement of the nervous system , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong eauew ; and instead of boing the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to tho mind and body . "Bill ' s New TTeskZg Jfesttnger . , , " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this rwnark is open to exception in any instance wher * the public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , « nd will demand tint medical works for popular study should b « *« void of that mysterious technicality in which the science * of medicine has hitherto rtiroudod its own ignorance . The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally , ret very strangely , neglected by th « medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotcdness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in well-written , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can bB th » worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a well-told appeal to reason , a permanent blessing .
