THE GHEATEST SALE OF ANY MEDICINES IN THE GLOBE . HOLLOWAY'S PILLS . A Very Wonderful Cure of a Disordered Liver and Stomach . Extnol ofa Letter from Mr CharUi Wilton , 30 , Princes Street , Glasgow , dated Jr ' ebniari / lttft , 1817 . To Professor Holloway . Sia , —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 hud previously had recourse to several medical men , who are celebrated for their skill , but instead of curing my Complaint , it increased to a most alarming degree . Humanly speaking your pills have saved « y life 1 Many tried to dissuade me from using them , and I doubt not but that hundreds are deterred from taking your most excellent medicine , in consequence of the impositions practised by many worthless wretches ; but what a pity It is that the deceptions used by others , should be the means of preventing many unhappy persons , under disease , from re . gaining health , by the use of your pills . When I commenced the use of your pills I was in a most wretched condition , and to my great delight , in n few days after , wards , 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 that every poor sufferer would avail himself of the same astonishing remedy .

He set'ins to hnrc had a pleurisy , which tnded in a large collection of matter iu the chest , which eventually fonnsd a passage through the wales of the chest , which ended in three fistulous sores , which continued to discharge large quantities of pus up to May , when ho was induced to try jour medicines ; at tin s date he was in an apparent dying conditlpn , and in the highest degree of Marasmus or Consumption , He had severe hectic tever , the urine depositing largo quantities of sediment—constant distressing cough—no appetite —and the stomach rejecting nearly everything ho took , both food and medicine , he began by taking five of your pills night and morning , which were gradually increased to ten , which in a short time had the effect of completely curing the cough , thestomach aftvetions , and restoring tho urine to its natural state .

Emigration To Texas. Mr Rowed , The "Man...
EMIGRATION TO TEXAS . Mr Rowed , the " manager '' of the "British Mutual Emigration Association , " has asserted that «• all writers and travellers" have declared Texas to be a most healthy and prosperous p lace . In reply we beg the attention of our readers to the follow "'^ extracts from tbe notes of a " traveller , " who had bitter experience of all he describes , and who ultimately paid with his life the penalty for trusting to the statements of such gentry as manager Rowed . The traveller was the late Mr Charles Hooton , who was some years ago editor of the Lttde Tmtt , andi the author of several works of a high character . Of his melancholy end we shall speak when we have concluded the extracts we are about to make . These extracts are taken from a series of papers , published by the author , in Simmonds' Colonial Magazine , and entitled , " Rides , Rambles , and Sketches in Texas . " It was in March , 1841 , that the ship in which Mr Hooton emigrated arrived in the Gulf of Mexico . After narrowly escaping shipwreck , a matter of common occurrence on the coast of Texas and Mexico , the emigrants were landed at Galveston . Our first extract describes—TBI BAT Or GALVESTON . Sprinkled with wreck * of various appearances and sizes—all alike gloomy , however , in their looks and associations—it strikes the heart of a stranger as a sort of ocean-cemetery , a sea churchyard , ia which broken masts and shattered timbers , half-burled in quicksand ) , seem to remain above the surface of the treacherous waters only to remind the living , like dead camels on a level desert , of the destruction that has gone before , aud yet awaits many who may come after . It may not be Improper , while on this subject , just to add , that a current produced by the rivers from the uplands which fall into the bay , runs through It to the sea , and forms tbe only safe track , tike a narrow lane for a coach , down which ships reach the city . Tho remaining mass of water , at least three miles across from Galveston to Pelican Island opposite , is so shallow , that , under tbe influence of particular winds , combined perhaps with other causes , it ma ; in certain places be waded across with safety 1 Such , then , is the plain truth , as far as I could ascertain it , respecting the famous port of Galveston—the intended mart of all the rest of Texas , and tbe place from which all the , as yet , unproduced produce of the interior , tbe dreamed-of wealth of thousands of dreimod . of settlers , is to be exported to all parts of the civilised world . Our author faithfully pictures the dreams of persons about to emigrate , the ideas they naturally entertain when they hear of cities , universities , literature , commerce , & :., imagining that all there must be something like what they are conversant with in Europe ; thereat is , however , very different to the imagined state of things , as Mr Hooton found in—THE OITI OF OAIVKSTOK . From the sea the appearance of Galveston is that of a fine city of great extent , built close upon the edge of tho water ; but its glory vanishes gradually in proportion to the nearness of approach of the spectator , until on his arrival at the end of one of the long , rude , wood projections , called wharfs , which shoot out some quarter of a mile into the shallows of the bay , he finds nothing but a poor straggling collection of weather-boarded frame-houses , beautifully embellished with whitewash , ( they may be mistaken far white marble from the Gulf , ) and extending without measureable depth , about the length of two miles of string . It presents , in this respect , a bold front to the enemy , but , like a bulwark made of brown pasteboard , hag more appearance than power , and in tha eveat of a wat with the Mexlc * ns , might , in the course of a few hours , be swept from the face of the earth by a brisk and determined cannonade of nothing more forms ' , dable than dried peas , instead of grape-shot , aud bay . shells by way of bombs . Tbe city ofj Galveston as it stands , and the " city "laid down upon the plans , bear about the same relation to each other , in point of size , as the pea to a pumpkin respectively . And could but a man build houses with his eyes , the now waste and trackless prairie would be covered with first-rate edifices ; be would behold streets thronged with happy citizens and happier merchants , where at present are found only rank grass breast-high , the carcases and bleached bones of cattle that have died of thirst and madness , and gorged and gorging turkeybuizards , that feed on the filthy carrion until they can scarcely fly away with their delicious burden . Such a man would be a very competent and fitting associate for all these praiseworthy gentlemen to whom the world is at present indebted for throwing open to its gaze ths gates of the Texan Paradise . lie would then sea things as they outfit to be , not as tftey are , —and that constitutes the grand secret of writing a book upon any country which requires an incoming population . Of course , there are abu & dauce of squares laid down . but no squares of building upon them . The streets ( if wide passages between rows of booses maybe so called ) are ankl-. ' -deep in fine sand during dry weather , and almost deeper still in mud during wet—they being totally unpaved'in any part . An east or north-east wind drives the waters of the bay so far up , that the principal street is hid com . pletely under water ; and boats bare ,. I believe , been employed to convey necessaries about the city , and to assist all such as were not naturally of an amphibious tribe in the transaction of their business . Upon one occasion it was carried away altogether—the place upon which It stood being left as clear as a ] summer beach during an ebb tide;—while at that period of the year commonly termed winter , but which more properly may be called tbe rainy season , a vast portion of that part of the Island prairie upon which the imaginary portion of Galveston is already erected , the water lies from twelve to eighteen inches deep after storms , and forms a sort of extensive fish-pond ( only without fish ) , in which a man might throw his float and line either from his chamber windnw or his door step , just as his genius and roving fancy might incline w « n . SUBSETS , —PROVISIONS , ifec . In connexion with the stores , it may be opportune to mention , that the market in Galveston is held every day , Sunday included ; that day , indeed , being the best week for abundance and variety . ) It consists principally of meat and fish of various kinds , with now and then a few vegetables . These are but seldom seen , being very scarce and dear ; a cabbage , about tbe size of a blacksmith's fist , readily bringing as much as eighteenpence or two shillings English . The market is opened with the earliest peep of daylight , and may be considered well over by six o'clock in the morning . The meat is killed during the preceding night , and brought to the-stalls in a state that may properly be termed yet warm with life . Even with this necessary though disagreeable haste , unless it be cooked almost immediately , it will , during the hottest weather , turn green and putrify before midday , At any time , to purchase more than is needful for the day ' s consumption is useless , as alt beyond that becomes waste . Beef and fish are very cheap indeedtheir price may be considered almost nominal '; pork is higher , and mutton higher still , though of the most Tttetebfcd quality aud the narrowest conceivable supply . The exceeding dearth of green vegetables is severely felt by tbe new-comer in this intensely sultry climate , and , iu conjunction with drinking water of tbe vilest description , contributes , I doubt not , very much to the unhealthiness of the people ( more especially of the poor , who constitute nineteen-twentieths of the whole , ) and at times renders both the island aud tbe whole of the seaboard a mere lazar-bouse for disease and death to revel in . Melons , of various descriptions and the finest growth , flourish and abound during tbe heats of midsummer , and
constitute , indeed , almost the only resource of the parched-up and sun-dried inhabitants . There are no springs in Galveston Island ; nor is there any fresh water , except whatis caught during rain , and that which filters through the sand into wells*—one of which is usually attached to each homestead . The former soon grows corrupt in summer , and abounds in the larvn of musquitoes , which assume tbe appearance of small eels with feathered heads , and are amazingly active while in this aquatic state . The wells cannot be dug more than about eight feet deep , as below that measure lies a stratum of black pestiferous sea-mud , intermingled with rotten shells , the contact of which with the water renders it totally useless . During the hottest part of the year these shallow wells fail partially , or altogether ; and the drought that ensues is highly injurious to tbe inhabitants , as well as destructive to the cattle . At those times considerable money is made by such ' people as may chance to have either rain or well-water to dispose of .
Although these miuuto particulars may not possess any general interest , they will perhaps be pardoned when the reader reflects upon tho many strenuous efforts already made , and yet making , to populate Texas with English emigrants , and to whom , practically , such apparently insigniricant circumstances are of every importance .
MTEBATUBE , —NEWSrAPEHS . Literature and art , though words to be found in a dictionary , have nothing correspondent to them in Texas . The literature there is embodied iu some twenty news , papers , of the most miserable description , The editor of each usually combines within the compass of his own body , proprietor and compositor too , This trinity of the printing-office clips out extracts , writes original drivel of his own , takes in both advertisements and the pay for them , notices a marriage for a bit of bride-cake and a gallon of whiskey , works at his " case" along with his men ( being not a whit more important than any one of tbero ) , and publishes the whole collection in his own especial name . By this means he contrives to " get along" in the articles of bread , and cheese , but seldom , if ever , arrives at such a high point of prosperity as to be enabled to enclose a snipping of prairie ground , and build a plank mansion of his own . To expect to find a
book for sale of any higher character than the illustrated ! alphabet— " A for Ape , and B for Bull , "—except it be derived froni the sea chest library of some deceased and beggared emigrant , who disposes of all be possesses in order to get away again—would be to expect a very remarkable and unusual phenomenon . Any old bookstall in Her Majesty's dominions contains more literary wealth upou any given number of its square inches than ran be found in the same number of square leagues in Texas , pick them from whatever pai tyou will . In fact , the means of obtaining a mere animal existence engross tbefit % t aud ahacitwily attention of everyone , — n state of things inevitable in a country as poor as a country , as ever Job was as an iadividual , and far more prostrated by its extreme poverty than ever Job could have been . These are anything but unfounded and gratuitous obssmtioas , as wili appear in proper , place by-aud . bye ,

8 TATI OF SOCIETY If T £ SA » . Texas may with «» fefy b « regarded as a place of refuge for rascality and criminality of all kinds—the sanctuary to which pirates , murderers , thieves , and swindlers ny for protection from the laws they hsre violated in other countries , and under other governments .

population , and some mercantile men of respectability , education , and probity ; but , In the main , ncoundrellsm , under one shape or another , constitutes the larger portion of the present population of Ttxas . Were It either necessary or becoming , I ceuld give the names of several parties of the most respectable standing in Galveston ( so far as wealth may be considered to confer respectability , ) who were Southern slave stealers , old smugglers and buccaneers in the Mexican and Indian Seas , runaway swindlers and murderers in the States . This is stated with the greater certainty , as the individuals alluded to were within tbe range of my own acquaintance , and , in some instances , have related their lives aud adventures within my own
bearing-Some three or four years ago , as I am Informed by tbe older inhabitants of the islaud , Galveston was scarcely habitable by people of decent life , in consequence of th « numbers of desperate gamblers who infested it—set all law and authority at defiance , and by intimidation and force of arms ( which they openly carried ) maintained themselves at whatever period and during any length of time they might think proper . At that period , the formidable bowie-knife was in pretty active operation , and assassination the ordinary termination of personal quarrels aud disputes . Mr P—— , of Galveston , a gentleman whose kindness to me in sickness aud difficulties deserves this public acknowledgment , has related an anecdote to me touching this subject which I cannot withhold from . the reader , as it so strikingly illustrates
tbe lawlessness and disregard of human life which then prevailed . One evening , towards sunset , be was Standing at his doorway in the principal street of Galveston , when be observed a man of respectable appearance and carriage coming down the rude causeway towards him . Not far behind was another individual , who walked rather faster than the first one , and apparently with the Intention of overtaking him : this he shortly did , and on passing by drew a bowie-knife , stabbed the unsuspecting victim of his revenge , who Instantly fell dead upon the spot , and with the greatest coolness and deliberation wiped the knife . blade upon his sleeve , and walked on as before . This was within about fifty yards of Mr F ' s door , tittle or no notice was taken of the matter , nor
was the individual who had committed tbe crime even so much as arrested . In the " city" itself matters are new considerably improved ; but no farther off than Houston , and throughout the country generally , tho knife , pistol , or rifle is the supreme arbiter in every personal" difficulty , " as a quarrel is there termed , that occurs . Sven during my own residence in Galveston , a roan was one morning found In the midst of the town , slaughtered in a similar manner , and , as far as my knowledge or inquiries went , with equal impunity on tbe part of tbe murderer . Indeed , at this very day , although the crime of assassination is actually less frequent than formerly , human life is held at the least possible value , and esteemed not to « great an atonement for iarj venial crimes .

Hand-Labour Against The Plough. [From Th...
HAND-LABOUR AGAINST THE PLOUGH . [ From theZiWr / KwJ Times . } A . gentleman of our acquaintance has presented us with a small pamphlet , containing the particulars and results of cultivation on two pieces of land , in the county of Rutland , the one of which was worked with tbe plough , the other with the three-pronged fork . The experiment was tried in consequence of our informant ' s having offered a prize of five pounds for the hest account of the merits of "the two systems . This prize was won by Mr Edward rvortley , of Brid .
lington , Rutlandshire , from whose essay we quote the following passages : — 3 $ " No sooner had I ascertained that a premium was offered for a statement of the comparative merits of ploughing and of digging or forking , than I determined to undertake the experiment , and having just concluded the catting and weighing of the separata allotments , I feel great pleasure in thus contributing the result to the public , hoping it may lend to establish correct principles , and emulate to advantageous practices in the husbandry of our country .
"Owing to tbe continued severity of the frost , the land was not broken up , either with the fork or the plough , uutil the munth of March . " The experiments extended over four acres , which were cultivated in tbe following manner . '"One acre forked , with tbe fork introduced into this neighbourhood by R . W . Baker , Esq ., of Cottesmore , and drilled with carrots . "One acre ploughed once , harrowed , and drilled with carrots . " One acre forked and drilled with mangold worzel , and one acre ploughed once , harrowed , and also drilled with mangold worz ° t . " I should mention that the tines of the fork are fourteen inches long . It weighs eight pounds and a half . "The ploughing was done with a Ransome ' sS . L . plough : depth , five inches .
"The previous crop , the fourth , was wheat , so that ( this farm being cultivated on the five-field system ) the experimental crops were last in tbe rotation , and the land itself by no means of first-rate quality , in fact , some few years ago it was a fox-cover . "The soil consists of a light red loam , mixed with red sand-stone . " Ou tbe 12 th of April , tbe two acres of carrots were drilled niiU olbs . of seed to the acre , mixed previously with one cwt . urate , for the purpose of assisting in the more even distribution of the seed , one ewt , being too small a quantity to owe much influence as a manure . "The twoacresof mangold wonel trere drilled—the rows eighteen inches apart—on theSnd of May , the same quantity of seeds as the carrots , and mixed , to facilitate the drilling , with the same quantity of urate .
" JTo farm-yard manure whatever was applied to- any of the crops . So that , however scanty the fare of tho food allowed , they were nevertheless , all treated alike , Tbe experiment was not for the purpose of testing manures , but implements . " Everybody remembers bow wet and unfavourable the weather was early in the spring . Cold and rain were characteristics of tbe season ; and the first appearance of the carrots was anything but promising , Tbe mangold worzel , being sown later , came up more quickly and better . On the first appearance of the plants there was not a discernible difference between those of tbe ploughed , or forked acres .
Every attention was paid to tho hoeing , but in consequence of tbe slow growing nature of tbe carrot and the wild character of tbe land , it was rather an expensive process , but the cost not greater with one acre than another . They were all hoed by the day as the weather would allow , no exact account could therefore be readily kept of the cost . Uor was it essential , because , being equal . it could not affect the comparative merits of the trial . As the plants advanced in growth , tbe difference between the plough and the fork became very apparent , and was greatly in favour of the fork . Each acre was stumped out separately , but tbe greater luxuriance of the creps from the forking was so remarkable , that the stumps were rendered quite unnecessary for reference .
We began to dig the carrots up the first week ia November . I superintended the gathering of all tbe toots myself , and can vouch for the correctness of the fallowing statement : — CABBOTS . T . C . 0 . Produce from one acre forked , 7 8 2 Ditto from one acre ploughed I 7 3 Difference per acre in favour of forking 3 0 3 Mangold Wckzel . t . c . q . Produce from one acre forked ... .,, 13 2 2 Ditto ironi one acre ploughed ... 8 5 0 Difference per acre in favour of forking 4 7 2 Thus we see that we have an average gain of nearly four tons of roots pir acre by using the fork instead of the plough , and the only drawback is the difference in the expense between ploughing and forking .
The forking cost 2 Cs . per acre , the soil being stony , and never having been moved so deeply before , nearly two cart loads of soft red stone were brought up in forking the two acres , which the plough , of course , bad never touched . Allowing tea shillings per acre for ploughing , it leaves sixteen shillings per acre only in favour of the plough , to stand against upwards of three tons of carrots on one acre , and nearly five tons of mangold wurzel ou tbe other ! I scarcely know how to place a money value upon tbe roots , as we are not in the habit of selling any , but to a farmer , who produces and consumes them on his own farm , I do know they are invaluable , both for food and manure . But taking tbe market value of carrots at 50 s . per ton , and reckoning the increase from forking of 8 tons 0 cwt . 3 qrs . per acre of carrots at 50 s . 7 11 10 § anddeductfer greater expense of cultivation 0 16 ft
it clearly leaves us a balance per acre of ... £ 0 151 Q | in favour of tbe fork . Still more remarkable is the advantage in tbe eulttoation of the mangold wurzel . Without deciding upon the price per ton of . tbis root , even if its value should be less than that of carrots , this circumstance is mora than counterbalanced by tbe relative produce being much greater ,

Witness—Nonsense ThS learned judge and counsel endeavoured to demon strata to the lad y that she , personally , had no leeal right to the article , but that it really belonged to her husband ; however , she seemed to have no desira to relinquish the prosecution . Tbe pin itappeared had been pawned by tho prisoner for five shillings The learned judge aaid the prosecutrix would find the law to be just as he expounded it and informed her that she could , if she pleased , have the prisoner again indicted in the name of her husband . The lady descended from the witness-box with gttsit dignity of manner , and the prisoner , apparently astounded at his escape , soon disappeared from fa
court . Cmtui CaiuisAi Coircr . —Tab Gkktlijjw w Black . —A good-looking young woman named Rebecca Smith , was indicted for stealing a cash-box , containing about £ 30 , the property of George Gray . Mr Wilde said the facts of the case were these : — On Saturday last the prisoner entered the shop of Mr Gray , who is a linen draper at 38 , Upper-street , Islington , in the company of " a gentleman in black . " She asked for a quarter of yard of flannel , and while she was being served the " gentleman in black , " who had a cloak on his arm , walked up and down the shop , and eventually sneaked out without being observed . The woman shortly after went out , and it was almost immediately discovered that the
cash-box , which bad been lying on the counter , was missing . The prisoner was pursued , but on * , being apprehended , she denied all knowledge of the " gentleman in black . " To prove her connection with him , the learned counsel said he had witnesses who would swear they had seen her in the morning walkin * and talking with " a gentleman in black " about thirty years of age , atnd of gentlemanl y appear , ahce . This . exactly tallied with the description of tho gentleman who was alleged to have stolen the box . The common-Sergeant ( who had watched the * learned counsel with a smiling countenance )—Do yeu think yoa can go to the jury ? Mr Wild replied ho thought there was a strong case of suspicion . Mr Clarkson said the fact was , the only evidence which could be produced in support of the case proved that the young woman at the bar had been seen in
company with a " gentleman in black , " but nothing whatever couid be adduced to show that he was the original identical " geatlemnn in black" who had borrowed Mr Gr & y ' a cash-box . Tbe Common-Sergeant said he should proceed with the case if the prosecutoror the jury desired it ; but ho must say if he were on a jury he should be very sorry to find a young woman guilty of felony because she happened to have been seen walking in the company of the " gentleman in black . " Mr Wild said after such a strong intimation of his lordship ' s opinion it would be useless to proceed . The jury accordingly returned a verdict of not guilty . Common-Sergeant—Young woman , you are discharged ; but for the future you had better be careful how you are found in the company of the " gentleman in black . " I assure you he is a mist dangerous character . The prisoner then left the bar amidst loud laughter .
An Oi * Baimt Scesk . —During the trial of a trifling * case , in which Mr Payne was addressing the jury on behalf of the prisoners , a person interrupted the learned counsel . —The Common Sergeant : Who is that person interrupting the court ?—Mr Payne : He is a client of mine , for whom I was engaged in a case now being tried in another court-Common Sergeant ( passionately ) : What does ho mean by atopping the business ? It is the most indecent thing I ever saw in my life to stop the proceedings in this manner . —Mr Payne : I don ' t see that at all . ( Laughter . )—Common Sergeant : I repeat , it is most indecent conduct . He has twice interrupted you , and I will not allow it . —Mr Payna who addressed his remarks to the jury ) : I don't see
that is is at all indecent or improper behaviour lor an attorney toinform his council that a case in which he is engaged is going on in another court , and in which , perhaps , the future welfare of his client is concerned . It is very odd that wo never have these annoying interruptions and hurry-skurrying proceedings in this court at other times . It is not at all the right way of carrying on business . It seems to be , not a question as to how justice can be best administered , but how many prisoners can be tried in the course of the day . All is , as I said before , hurryskuiry—now running at tbe prosecutor , now running at the prisoners , now at the counsel . I defy any ono to get on . Such conduct is unheard-of before any
one else , and is calculated to distract the attention of the jury from the business before them . —Common Sergeant ( in a rage ) : Your remarks are much more likely to confuse the jury , as they have nothing whatever to do with tho case before them . —Mr Payne considered he was quits in order ; he then , however , proceeded with his address upon the case before tbe court . The charge was one of highway robbery ou one Marshall Jones , by William Wynn , aged 19 , and Julia Biggins , aged 18 , who hadknoeked him down in New Oxford-street , and robbed him of a pocketbook containing three keysand a pencil case , value 4 s . The sentence was that the prisoners be transported for ten years .

Irish Cosiebkratioh . —The confederates met as usual on Sunday evening , at Cartwright ' s Coffee * house , Red Croas-street . Mr Archdeacon was called to the chair . He delivered a very efficient and excellent address , which was much applauded . He was glad to see Englishmen come amongst them . Ho was a democrat for the black man as well as the white . The leading article of the Nation and an . article from the Star were read and commented on with good humour and ability . Mr Tucker objected to some passages in the address to the Americans . He wished to see Irishmen happy ; they had a natural right to the land ; and he Knew they could live on it if they had only the power of cultivating it . Mr M'Carthy replied to some observations of Mr
Tuclccr . He did not wish the people oiiraandto traffic against America , nor against any other country . He thought it was high time to let the aristocracy fight their own battles . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Keating addressed the meeting at some length , and joined the society . Mr Dwain spoke at some length . Mr Sullivan ' s views were in favour of the plan laid down by the Nation . Mr Clancy hoped the meeting would not go away with the impression that the Nation was the confederation , or even its council . He looked upon the article as a plan thrown out to see which way the wind blew . He wanted to hear the responsible party come out like men who knew a remedy for the withering ills of Ireland , and would declare it .
