      rrfTrTH ~ TONG LIFE , AND HAPPINESS , sIcBd bithatpopular medicine TVT 6 Medicine yet offered to tlia world ever so rapidly jLM attained such distinguished celebrity : it is questionable if there be now any part of the civilised globe where its extraordinary healing virtues have not been exhibited . This signal success is not attributable to any system of advertising , but solely to the strong recommendations of parties cured by their use . The Proprietors of Parr's Life Fill ' s have now in their possession upwards of fifteen hundred letters , several of them from Clergymen of the Church of England , many from distinguished issenting Ministers , from gentlemen connected with the Army and Navy , also from Members of Parliament , Merchants , and last , though notleast , from members ot the Medical Profession , and n sldltul Analytical Chemist ; all speakiHg in tbehighestterms of the valueof this inestimable medicine . This is a mass of evidence in its favour beyond all parallel .

      ABERNETHY'S PILE OINTMENT . VjirHAT a painful and noxious Disease is the PILES , V ? and comparatively how few of the afflicted have been permanently cured by ordinary appeals to medical kill . This , no doubt , arises from the use of powerful aperients too frequently administered by the profession ; indeed , strong internal medicine should always be avoided iu all cases of this complaint . The Proprietor of the above Ointment , after years of acute suffering , placed himself under the treatment of that eminent surgeon , Mr Abevnethy , —was by him restored to perfect health , and has enjoyed it ever since without the slightest return of the disorder , over a period of fifteen years , during which time the same Abernethian prescription has been the

PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND is a sure and speedy cure for those severe annoyances without the least pain or inconvenience . Unlike all other remedies for Corns , its operation is such as to ^ render ihe cutting of Corns altogether unnecessary ( indeed , we may say , ' that the practice of cutting Corns is at all times highly dangerous , and has been frequently attended with lamentable consequences , besides its liability to increase their growth ) . It adheres with the most gentle pressure , producing au instant and delightful relief from torture ; and , with perseverance in its application , entirely eradicates the mo&tinverato Corns and Bunions . : ;

      . ' ? V THE CORN MARKET . ¦ Throughout the past week the' English supply of grain and flour was small , tiut from abroad there was a good arrival of wheat , and also of'flour of tuo better article . The Americans are sending us considerable quantities ; during the past week the arrival exceeded 18 , 000 barrels , and a quantity equal to this was reported the previous week . The amount of business transacted on the several market days was limited to the supply of immediate wants , the tendency being tor lower prices , although not materially so for spring corn . This morning ' s market opened with a small suppl y and a limited attendance . There wa 9 no particular activity manifested to purchase any description of . produce , and with a short Essex and Kentish supply of wheat , the trade must be noted for inferior samples worse by Is , per quarter than on this day lveeJf , but for fine about as good . Barley finds only a limited trade cither for grinding or distilling sorts , and prices remain generally unaltered . The dealers are anything but ready buyers of oats at Friday ' s quotations . Beans and peas of all sorts are short in supply , and bring full rates . Tares , linseed cake , and seeds are all steady in their current values , but the present demand is exceed , ingly contracted . CUBRENT PRICES OF GRAIN , FLOUR , NAD SEED . IN MARK-LANE .

      Earl of Northampton established a Charity at Greenwich for a warden and twelve objects of charity : A house was built for their reception and placed under . the government of the Mercers' Company . To guard against the funds of this charity being lavished away , the charter allowed the small sum of £ 5 to be expended annually on twelve visitors of the Mercers' Company , to pay the expenses to Greenwich and a frugal dinner . In the recent debate on the Charitable Trusts Bill the Lord Chancellor produced the day ' s expenses of this Mercers' Company when they visited the charity , the funds of which they administer so " purely . " The journey to Greenwich was— £ . s . d . To six carriages and pair , one day , tonn and Greenwich ,..,.. „ ., „ ... „„ 7 16 0 Coachmen , ,.,,.,.,,....,, „ ,, 116 0 Hostler , 0 3 0 Gates , 0 13 6 ¦ £ 10 8 6 Three dozen of flowers for the hall ,... I 10 Then came the breakfast for eighteen gentlemen-, £ i 12 s . ; very moderate : next came the luncheon , punch , soda water , &c , &c . ; but the grand . affair was the dinner . Every man , " said Dr . Johnson , "loves a good dinner , " and so did the gentlemen visitors of the poor charity at Greenwich . We wish we had space for the splendid bill of fare , but can only observe that these eighteen gentlemen consumed 41 bottles of wine ; their dinner cost £ 63 3 $ . 6 d . ; and the "tobtle of the - ' whole" day ' s expenses was £ 89 12 s . 2 d . But his lordship said that the average of each day ' s expenses was £ 100 , which , in 20 years , would amount to £ 2000 , or , with interest to £ 3000 , a sum sufficient to found a very beneficial charity . These pleasant trips of the Mercers' Company to devour the funds of Lord Northampton ' s Charity take place every Trinity Monday .

      Mesmerism ; , — "The £ 100 Note '—The six months during which the £ 100 was to lie in the Messrs . Ball ' s bank , Dublin to become the property of any clairvoyant who should read the number , date , Ac , of the note without breaking the envelope , expired on the 18 th April , when the envelope was opened in the presence of persons connected with the bank , the note proved to be a printed cheque ( No . 1 , ) issued by the house of Messrs . Ball and Co . tor £ 100 , payable toCEdipus or bearer , and dated the 1 st of October , 1 S 45 . The English words ( written on a separate slip of paper , ) were "To CEdipus alone . " If this , therefore , be a fair test of the truth of mesmerism , the sooner the delusion is at an end the better .

      Horrible Outrage in- Paris . —An atrocious out . rage was committed on Sunday evening , between eight and nine o ' clock , on Dr . Tuke , an elderly gentleman who has been for some time residing in Paris . Dr . Tuke , who is a physician retired from practice , was returning home , after haying dined with a friend at a restaurant , near the Barriere de l'Etoile . He had been compelled by a call of nature to step aside on the Esplanade des Invalides , and was , whilst in this state , accosted in a brutal way by a soldier . At this moment an inhabitant of Grenelle and his wife were passing , aad seeing an old gentleman exposed to the abuse of a young and vigorous soldier , they wished to interfere , but were told by the latter to go about their business . Five minutes afterwards

      piercing cries were heard , and a lady and her daughter , who live on the Esplanade des Invalides , saw thft soldier strike Dr . Tuke repeatedly , and then runoff towards the Champ de Mars . The cries of the victim were heard also by a non-commissioned officer of the Municipal Guard , who was at considerable distance , and who ran up , but not in time to seize the soldier . Dr . Tuke was picked up , and earned upon a litter to the Corps de Garde , and two surgeons were sent for . They found that he had received not less than eight wounds . There was a cut upon the whole length of the chin , two deep cuts clown the nose , and the cheeks were so much cut that the bones wove quite exposed . After the first medical care had been paiil to the sufferer , who was at the time insensible front

      loss of blood and pain , he was removed to the hospital La . Charite , where he remained in a scaseless state for twenty hours .

He has given a description of the soldier , who belongs to the infantry . He wore no sword , but had a bayonet . Dr . Tuke says he thinks- he saw No . 11 on his schako , but is not certain . .

As it was presumed from this that the criminal belonged to one of the battalions of infantry at the Ecole Militaire , the roll was called over , but no soldier was absent . The surgeons who attend Dv . Tuke at the hospital are not of opinion , from the nature of the vrounds , that they were intticted with a bayonet , bHt witii a knife or a razor .
