      HEALTH , LOSG 1 > IFE , AND HAPPINESS , SECURED BY THAT POPULAR MEBICINE TVTO Medicine yet offered to the world erer so rapidly XS attained such distinguished celebrity : it is questionable if there be now any part of the civilised globe where its extraordinary healiug 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 lafe Piil ' 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 lfavy , also from Members of Parliament , Merchants , and last , though not least , from members of the Medical Profession , and a skilful Analytical Chemist ; all speaking in the highest terms of the val'je of this inestimable medicine . TUUis a mass of evidence ifiits favour beyond all pavaUtl . The extraordinary properties of tins mouici . ie are thus described by an eminent physician , who says , " After particular observation of the action of Parr ' s Pills , 1 am determined , in my opinion , that the following are their true properties : — 'First They increase the strength ., whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect upon the system . Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twentyfour hours , and instead of having weakened , they will be found to have revived the ar . imal spirits , and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body . " Secondly—In their operation tliey go direct to the disease . After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect ; the disease upon you will become less and less by every di > sc you take , and if you persevere in regularly taking from three to & \ x pills every day , jour disease will speedily he entirely removed from the system . " Thirdly—They are founoafter gWingtliem a fair trial fora few weeks to possess the most astonishing and invigorating properties , and they will overcome all obstinate complaints , and restore sound health - . tliero is a return « fg ««< l appetite sliorUy from the beginning of their use , whilst their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate , particularly irlicre violent pirgjng is acknowledged to be injurious Ins'ea . l of beneficial . Fourthly—As a general Family Medicine they are exceedingly valaablc , and no family should be without them ; ihey may be used with perfect safety in any disease , for to every disease they are of inestimable value . John Dale , Esq ., of Manchester , Lecturer on Chemistry , and Pupil of the late celebrated Dr . Dalton , F . U . S ., in a letter addressed to the Proprietors in London , says : —' j leg to state I find them worthy of beinjj recommended to the public fo rtlieir efficacy and simplicity , and to be really vegetablepiils , containing , as they do , nothing but what is of vegetable origin . "With this assurance the public need Lave no fear of giving them a fair trial . " Fifthly—There is no medicine ever introduced to the public that has become so universally popular with ftmales as Parr ' s Life Pills . For all complaints peculiar to females they are of most astonishing efficacy ; and they are confidently recommended to them for general use . A trial of a bos of these pills will at once prove tlie truth of this assertion . LMFORTAXT TO TJIE PUBLIC . "We consider we are performing an act of humanity to the community of Van Uieuiau ' s Land in acknowledging that statements have been made to us by several persons ivho have taken Parr ' s Life Pills , with the most beneficial effect to them . Accounts of their eflicacy have been furnished us by various individuals who have taken them , ance the supply furnished by the patentees in England to 3 Ir . Dun-Mug ; but they have generally savoured so much of the marvellous , that we have hesitated to make the statements public . However , we arc now satisfied from further recounts given to us , that to hesitatelongtr would be perpetrating an act of criminal omission to our felloncrcatures , aud having taken the pills ourselves with the most satisfactory result , we perform an act of duty only in most strongly recommending the use of them to the public at large . This we feel the more confidence in doing . Uuowiug that under any circumstances they cannot do harm ; and our conscientious belief is , that they vanuut b- taken by any person without doing him good . " —Cornwall ( Van J / kman ' s LandJ Gazelle , Dec . 2 Srd , 1 SH . The meaicine of Old Parr is the most popular of tile present day .

In the latter part of the time , eleven wounds were open at once . The faculty declared the case as past cure , several pieces of bone had come away , and I expected thnt my poor wife would soon have been taltrn from me .

No one thought I should live over thu winter , nor did I expect it myself ; but I am happy to say that I am now able to work from morning to night , and tliat I sleep as well as ever I did in my life ; and tins miracle ( I may say ) was effected by rubbing your invaluable ointment twice a day into my chest , and taking ten of your pills at bedtime , and tcD again in the morning , for about three months .

      The Cheat Europj : a . v Rajmvats' C 0 MPASV . ~ Among the numerous , indeed almost unlimited number of projects for new lines ol railway which arc now before the public , and other nnmo . sals for the judicious and profitable investment of capital , the ubovo company oonies forward with a most comprehensive scheme for undertaking the completion and working of all the proposed continental lines , as also a full and elaborate establishment of railways in our colonial possessions . It is proposed that whenever a grant lor a railway has been secured by the sne-M ^ iul ne gotiation ol ' this company , such grant shall be constituted a separate und distinct company ; the holders of shares in the original company t » be entitled to a pro rata proportion of the shares in

      every nesv company formed by the obtuinment of further concessions . " A body of directors is to be chosen , not only well-known for their individual wealth and standing in society , but as men of sound practically scientific views . A portion ol' such directors , accompanied by a well-appointed " and efficient engineering staff , will visit the various localities where railways are required , report on the nature of the soil , population , the requirement of means of trallic , and every circumstance oonncctetl with the full development of the subject . Daily , as proposals for the investment of capital arc being made in railways in the United Kingdom , they are not sufliciont to meet the enormous hoard of wealth which still remains to be mmral i ?« to the jap of speculation :

      and a company such as this , formed from among the most wealthy and extensively connected of our merchant , prince , our fundholders , and large land proprietors , will have resources at hand which will enable them to undertake the most gigantic projects in the shape of railway communication , and secure to the shareholders a large return for the capital invested . At present only . a preliminary announcement has appeared ; but , we understand , a prospectus will shortly be issued , with a powerful list of directors , a complete detail of the bankers , solicitors , engineers , etc ., which will be required to carry out so extensive a scheme , when we shall devote some considerable attention and space in our columns for the dull consideration of this highly important subject . —The Mining Journal ..

      Railways is London * . —A great scheme is on foot to build in Isirriiigiloii-strcetii rental terminus for railways , uniting Liverpool , Manchester , Birmingham , and other places with the metropolis . The man of business will be able to step out of his oIKcc , and , without any packing up—without so much as buttoning his coat , or doing , more than pocketing liis papers—be set down in Manchester or Liverpool . The project has , in a preliminary stage , received the sanction of the City 1 'arliament—the Court of Common Council—whd have referred to a committee the

      petitions from companies to purchase the necessary ground . The site of the Fleet Prison , crewhilo the cage of the miserable insolvent debtor , will hereafter be thronged by people passing and repassing from all parts of the world , eater ministers of tliu industry and prosperity of the country . JN o contrast eouiil exceed that of the past a ; id future use of the site . There is a talk of some great central terminus for all railways . It does not , however , need any vast dibit of imagination to look beyond even ihat scheme , to the day when the metropolis will be converted into one immense terminus , by means of a special system of metropolitan railways , traversing the whole space ; so that the Birmingham traveller may take to the rail at Ncwiimton Butts , the Brighton traveller at

      Paddington , the Bristol trarcJicr at Wlutcclliipel ; dispensing with the preliminary obstruction of cab 01 omnibus . It has been well remarked , that the resident at Kensington or Bayswatcr will not long consent to remain , in point of time , at a greater distance from the heart of the metropolis than tho resident at Harrow or Maidenhead . You may find it take you as long to go from Kensington to the London-bridge terminus of the Bri ghton Railway , as from Londonbridge to Brighton . Nay , of two fviends taking leave at London-bridge , one for Brighton by rail , and one for Kensington by omnibus , the traveller to Brighton might reach his destination first . London will speedily find the means of balancing these disparities ; and when that has been done by an internal svstem

      ot railways , the long-lined railways will obtain the means of using the internal system as an extension of their own . Some object , that tho introductionof railways ; into themetropolis will obstruct ; trade , and injure the citizens ; but how facility of . transit can obstruct trade is tho puzzle . Railways do not'obstruct trade anywhere else ; not over the country , nor within fac , tovies , where tho tram-rails from the coal-house to the engine-house , the moving stages ascending and descending from floor to floor , are all of the railway genus : and a great town may be considered to stand between the wide space of a country at large ami the narrowed crowded space of a factory . The railway conveyance for passengers is tho cheapest in theworld , upon the wliolo the safest , and sell-evidently

      the most facile . Tlic railway carriage is virtually a moving room , and without much difficulty it might be made completely so ; a luxury which the Americans hive almost effected in their ' * ears" / Hme is precious to tradesmen ; though some citizens , it seems , have still to learn the fact . An hour lost intraversing London to get at the railway may cause him who has just learned some important intelligence to miss the packet for America , or lose the sale or goods made up on a hasty order . An hour or two to be wasted in the omnibus may decide that you will not go or send at all about some business thai . might " have proved worth the trouble : whereas railways in London would convert the whole metropolis into one yast office . Eventually , the citizen ' s private counting-house and country-house may be one , with a backrailway connecting it to his city counting-house . ¦ But to have an internal system of railways you cannot do without termini in London itself—not one , but

      many . And greatly must such an innovation conduce to the improvement of London . It will relieve the principal streets from huge masses of heavy traffic —exchange for the ponderous and obstructive waggon the flying island or subterranean magic car of the railway train ; saving hindrance , noise , and mechanical troubles innumerable . It will introduce hands " 1110 edihees . It will break up bad neighbourhoo ds-as this very terminus at Farringdon-street promises , " do , and give opportunity for remodelling whole districts without special cost ; the one operation of improvement becoming a mere incident in the other operation of making the railways . It will shake up the ill-contrived framework of the British capital , suggesting and facilitating other improvements , until railway-traversed London will look back « ' «} smiling pity on those days when citizens surv ived who dreaded lest railway termini should obstruct trade . —Spectator .
