THE GREATEST SALE OF ANY MEDICINES IN THE GLOBE . HOLLOwTFs PILLS . A Very Wonderful Cure of a Disordered Liver and Stomach . Extract of a Letterfrom Jfr Charles Wilson , 30 , Princes Street , Glasgow , dated Febitiary lKft , 1847 . . . To Professor Holloway . Sre , —Having taken your pills to . remove a disease of the Stomach and Liver , under which I had long suffered , and having followed your printed instructions I have regained that health , which I had thought lost for ever . I had previously had recourse to several medical men , who are celebrated for their skill , but instead of curing ray Complaint , it increased to a most alarming degree . Humanly speaking your pills have saved jay Mfel Many tried to dissuade me from using them , and I doubtnot but that hundreds are deterred from taking your most excellent medicine , in consequence of the impositions practised by many worthless wretches ; butwhata pity it is that the deceptions used by others , should be the means of pre . venting many unhappy persons , under disease , from regaining health , by tbe use of your pills . When I commenced the use of jour pills I was in a most wretched condition , and to my great delight , in a few days afterwards , there was a considerable change for the better , and by continuing to use them for some weeks , I have been perfectly restored to health , to the surprise of all who have witnessed the state to which 1 had been reduced by the disordered state of the Liver and Stomach ; would to God thatevery poor sufferer would avail himself of the same astonishing remedy .

'¦ : - Genera^Minum F I; \ , Their Lords...
'¦ : - GENERA ^ MINUm f I ; \ , Their Lordships had under their consideration the sufficiency of the present number of Inspectors of Schools f .-r the duties they have to perform , and Resolved , —That it would be highly expedient that all the schools which are under the inspection of the Priw Council should be visited at least once in each year : that the existing number of Inspectors appears to be insnffisient , as , nstwithstanding their constant assiduity in the discharge of the duties intrusted to them , ' it is , found impossible to make arrangements for the inspection of schools oftener than once in two year ? .. :
Their Lordships , are , however , unwilling to make so considerable an addition at once to the number of Inspectors as would be necessary for an annual visit to each school , but will recommend the appointment of three new Inspectors this year , reserving for consideration hereafter any further appointment which may be required . Their Lordships had further under their consideration the Report of the Inspectors of Schools , memorials from certain Boirds of Education , and letters from the clergy and others , representing the very early age at which the children' acting as assistants to schoolmasters are withdrawn from school to [ mannal labour , and the advantages which would arise if such scholars as might be distinguished by proficiency and good conduct were apprenticed to skilful masters , to be instructed and trained , so as to be prepared to
complete their education as schoolmasters in a Normal School . _ ., ; Resoived , — That the Lord President cause Regulations to be framed defining the qualifications of the schoolmaster ; the condition of Instruction . ; in . the school ; and the local contributions to be required , as conditions on which annual grants . of money . ' liiay he made towards the stipends of apprentices in elementary schools ; and further , cause indentures of apprenticeship to be prepared , declaring the duties of the' apprentice and the nature of the instruction he is to receive ; the periods of examination by the Inspectors of Schools , and the circumstances under which the indenture may be dissolved , in order that stipends increasing in each year of the apprenticeship may be granted in aid of local contribution . .
It was FUBiHKB Resolvbd , —That as the masters having charge of the instruction and training of school apprentices will be selected for their character and skill ; and as the education of the apprentices will increase the labour and responsibilities of such masters , it is expedient that the successful performance , of these duties be rewarded by annual grants in aid of their stipends , according to the number of apprentices trained by each master . Ir was further Resoived , — -That it is expedient to make provision in certain cases , by a retiring pension , for sshoolmasters and mistresses who , after a certain length of service , may appear entitled to such provision . That the LordJPresident cause Regulations to be framed respecting the grants of such retiring pensions . '
That it is expedient for the further encouragement of deserving schoolmasters , that small gratuities be ' annually distributed , under the authority of the Lord President , to schoolmasters whose zeal and success in teaching mayi on the Report of the Inspector , appear to entitle them to such encouragement ; and that Regulations be framed with reference to the distribution of such gratuities .

GRANTS IN AID OF THEIR SALARIES , Exhibitions on behalf of successful Pupil Teachers to Normal Schools—Employment of certain of them in the Public Service . Grants in aid of Expenses of Normal Schools , and of t !; e Salaries of Masters and Mistresses educated therein . The Committee of Council on Education had under their con * iderat on their Lordships'Minutes as to the apprenticeship of pupil teachers in elementary schools . It appeared further expedient to their Lordships , that the Lord President should authorize one or more of Her Majesty ' s Inspectors , together with the Principal of a normal school under inspection , to submit to his Lordship , from among the pupil teachers who had successfully terminated their
apprenticeship , a certain number of those who , upon competition in a public examination , to be annually held by such Inspectors and Principal in each Inspector ' s district , might be found most proficient is their btudies and skilful in the art of teaching , and concerning whose character and zeal for the office of teachers the Iaspector of the district could' give the most favourable report . That the Committee of Council on Education , on comparison of the testimonials and examination papers of these apprentice ? , should award , for as many as they might think fit , an exhibition of £ 20 or £ 25 , to one of the normal schools under the inspection of Her Majesty ' s Inspectors . , 'fhat the pupil teachers to whom such exhibitions should be awaided , should be thenceforth denominated " Queen's Scholars . "
That the exhibition should be liable to be withdrawn if the Principal of the training school should be dissatisfied with the conduct , attainments , or skill of the " Queen ' s Scholar . ' . ' Their Lordships were also of opinion , tiiat it might be useful to offor further incentives to exertion and good conduct ainong ' the pupil teachers , by . opening to such of them as might not display the highest qualifications fur the office of schoolmaster , but whose conduct and attainments were satisfactory , an opportunity of obtaining employment in tbe public service , under such regulations as may be hereafter adopted . , v . ¦ ; - Their Lordships hope that the grant ot an exhibition of £ 20 or £ 25 to . the most proficient pupil teachers , to enable them to enter a normal school , may diminish the difficulty experienced by the trustees and managers of such institutions , of maintaining them in efficiency . In order , still further to reduce the burden oi such establishments , their
Lordships will award to every normal school subject to inspection a grant for every student trained therein concerning whose character and conduct the Principal shall give a favourable report , and concerning whose attainments , skill in teaching , and general aptitude for the vocation of a schoolmaster , it shall appear to the Lord President , at the close , of each of 3 years of training from the report of one or more of Her Majesty ' s Inspectors , and from the examination papers , that a certain standard of merit has been attained . Such grants shall be £ 20 at the close of the first year , £ 25 at the close of the second , and £ 30 at the close of the third year ' s course of instruction . This standard of acquirement shall not be so ordered as to interfere with the studies pursued in any normal school , but shall be adapted to those studies , so , however , as to apply impartially to all such normal schools an equal incentive to exertion , by requiring efficiency in a sufficient number of the studies pursued in them . ¦
Their Lordships will further grant , in aid of the salary of every schoolmaster appointed ts a school under their inspection , and who has had one year ' s training in a normal school under . their inspection , £ 35 or £ 20 per annum ; and in aid of the salary of every such schoolmaster who has had two years of such training , £ 20 or £ 25 per annum fand of every such schoolmaster who has had three years of such training £ 25 or £ 30 per annum ; provided he has , upon examination , obtained the proper , certificate of merit in each year , on the following conditions : — 1 . That the trustees and managers of the school provide the master with a house rent free , and a further salary , equal at least to twice the amount of this grant . 2 , That the trustees and managers annually certify that his character , conduct , and attention to his duties are satisfactory .
3 . That the Inspector report that his school w efficient in its organisatieu , discipline , and instruction . On the same conditions their Lordships will grant , in aid of the salaries of schoolmistresses appointed to schools under their inspection , who obtain similar certificates in a normal school , ; two-third of the sums to be awarded to schoolmasters for each year ' s certificate of merit .
RETIRING PENSIONS TO SCHOOLMASTERS AND MISTRESSES FOR LONG ASD EFFICIENT SERVICES . That a retiring pension may be granted by the Committee of Council to any schoolmaster or schoolmistress who shall be rendered incapable by age or infirmity of continuing to teach a school efficiently .

trustees and managers of the schools , as to the character and conduct of the applicants , and the manner in which the education of the pupils under their charge has been carried on .

Minute On The Administration Of The: Gra...
MINUTE on the ADMINISTRATION of THE : GRANTS for tho SALARIES of MASTERS and MISTRESSES of SCHOOLS for PAUPER CHILDREN . .. , . - The Lord President brought under the consideration of their Lordships a letter received frem the Secretary of State for the Home Department , dated 18 th November , 1846 , calling their attention to the fact , that £ 15 , 000 was granted in the late Session of Parliament , towards defraying the expanse of salaries of masters and mistresses of pauper schools , and to the ; importance of rendering grants for this purpose in future years , conducive to the increased efficiency of such schools . The Lord President also communicated to their Lordships a paper , prepared at the request of Sir George Grey , on the administration of these grants . From these documents , it appeared that there
were upwards of 700 Workhouse Schools , and that little progress had hitherto been made in the establishment of Schools of Industry for districts of Unions , owing to the limitation of the radius of such districts in the Act of Parliament authorizing their creation , and also to tbe limitation of the expense for which the ratepayers under this Act might be rated towards the erection of the requisite buildings . Their Lordships were of opinion that it was expedient to employ Inspectors for the examination of Workhouse Schools , in order that by their suggestions to the Guardians , and upon their reports , measures might be adopted in the administration of these grants to procure the improvement of these schools .
Resolved , —That it is desirable to train the pauper children now in workhouses to habits of industry . That with this view , and for the purpose of improving Workhouse Sohoels , four Inspectors be appointed , with authority to examine the condition of schools for the education of pauper children ; and to ascertain the character and qualifications of the persons employed as schoolmasters and mistresses , in order that unfit and incompetent persons may no longer be employed in that capacity , and that" measures may be taker , for awarding salaries according to the qualifications of the masters or mistresses , and the exteat of the duties they have to perform . Tiiat instructions be prepared for the guidance of such Inspectors .
The .Royal Tower At Westminster Palace.—...
The . Royal Tower at Westminster Palace . — This enormous structure , into the lewer part of which the Queen ' s state carriage and eight horses will be driven , is eighty feet square , and , to the top of the octagon turret , with which each of its four angles will be furnished , will be 346 feethigb , or little jess than the height of the too of the cross which surmounts St Paul ' s Cathedral ! The boldnessof tbe idea , and the effect that . will be produced by this erection , may not be judged of by comparing it with the lofty spires of our cathedrals , because here the whole structure is taken up of the same dimensions , or nearly so , te tho top , . while in those the mass is
rapidly diminished towards the summit . The faces of the tower will be elaborately pannelledand ornamented , and will include two ranges of triple windows . Within the porch , bat concealed by a rough boarded ceiling , or temporary floor abeve , all « bustle and startling activity . Twenty carvers are at work by the light of gas , fashioning enormous bosses at the intersections of a star-shaped web of groinsthe net work of the ponderous stone vault which is suspended over the whole area of the porch , and will carry the floor oi the upper chamber . The piers ® 1 the tower will be adorned within the porch witn gigantic statues on bracket pedestals .
