Asthmatic and Consumptive Com- fait, Coughs, Shortness of Breath, IToarseness, dc., 7 allaying the thickling and irritation of the throat, and Sue great and valuable advantage which they possess over tl other Lozenges is, that they may be taken without any far of disordering the stomach, in asmuch as they hive a deciled tendency to promote a healthy state of the diges- Ure organs, and allay nervous irritability.i London, 68, Cheapside, Dec.8, 1845.Dear Sir, \u2014Having for some years past, as tho WINTER Wroached, been subject to a severs Cough, my attention wa lately called to your Couau Lozexars, and after tiing two small boxes in the course of the last threo veks, l have no hositation in saying, that in my opinion, ity are the best remedy, and have given more case than uything I have ever met with.Lam, dear Sir, yours truly, (Signed) WILLIAM WHITE.To Mr.T.Keating, 79, St.Paul's Church Yard.41, Alfred Street, Islington, Dec.4, 1845.SR, \u2014From my youth up, till within the last two years, ve been annually visited with a severe Cough, which lo lung about me the whole of the winter ;

it is six times cheaper, pleasanter, and warranted superior to any sold, It cures discase, without vOMitiug, purging, sickening, or debilitating the patient, , GREAT SPRING AND SUMMER MEDECINE.The great beauty and superiority of this Sarsaparilla over all other Medicine is, whilst it Lradicates Disease a invigorates the Body.It is onc of the very best SPRING AND SUMMER MEDICINES ever kuown ; it not only purifies the whole system and strengthens the person, but it Creates New, Pure and Rich Blood ; a power possessed by no other Medecine.And in this lies the grand secret of its wonderful success.It has performed within the past two years, more than 85,000 cures of Severe Cases of Disease ; at least 5,000 of these were considered incurable.More than 3,000 cases of Chronic Rheumatism ; 2,000 cases of Dyspepsia ; 400 cases of General Debility and want of Energy ; 7,000 cases of the different 'auale Complaints ; 2,000 cases of Serofula ; 1,540 eases of the Liver Complaint ; 2,500 cases of Discasc ofthe Kidueys and Dropsy ; 3,000 cases of Consutmption.And thousauds of cases of Liscase of the Blood, viz:\u2014UI- cers, lérysipelas, Salt Rheum, Pimples on the Face, &e.Together with numerous cases of Sick Ilcadache, Pain in the Side and Chest, Spinal Affections, &e.This, we arc aware, must appear incredible, but we have letters from physicians and our agents from all parts of the United States, informing us of extraordinary cures.R.Vau Buskirk, Esq., one of the most respectable druggists in Newark, N.J., infornis us that he can refer to more than 50 cases in that place alone.There are thousands of cases in the City of New York, and huvdreds in Albany and in all of the other cities of the Union, which we will refer to with pleasure, and to men of character.\u2014 Itis the best medicine for the Preventive of Disease known.1t undoubtedly saved the lives of more than 5,000 CuIL- DREN THE PAST SEASON ! As it reinoved the cause of Disease, and prepared them for the summer season.SII?FEVER.That this Disease is contagious there now cau be no doubt, and is rapidly spreading throughout the country.\u2014 It becomes the duty of every person as well as the anthori- ties, to guard against it.Dr.Townsend's Sarsaparilla will prevent this disease.If the Blood is pure and healthy it is inpossible to lake this disease or any other.Let all such as have impure Blood, or are in any way debilitated, and especially weakly children, use it and protect them from the Pestilence and the Hot Season.It has been fairly tested in New York City, aud proved beyond dispute to be invaluable in the prevention of disease.UNITED STATES OFFICER.Captain G.W.McLesn, of the United States Navy, and member of the New Jersey Legislature, has kindly sent us the following certificate.It tells its own story :\u2014 Kauwar, Jany.85th, 1847.À year since T was taken with the lnfluenza, and my whole system left in a debilitated state.I was induced to try Dr.Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and after taking two or three bottles, I was very much relieved, and attribute it entirely to the said Sarsaparilla.I have continued taking it, aud find that 1 improve every day.1 believe it saved my life, and would not be without it under any consideration, G.W McLeax, late U.8.N.Jory Jackson, Esq., Editor of the Railway Republican, published the above certificate, and remarks in an Editorial us follows :\u2014 & The success of Dr Townsend\u2019s preparation of Sarsaparilla, appears to be of the most extraordinary character.We publish to-day two certilicates in its behalf, ous from Captain McLean, of this town, and one from the Revd.Rahway.Capt.Mclean believes the medicine to have saved his life, and Mr.White seems to entertain an equul- Ly strong confidence in its efficacy.Intelligent men like those would not praise so strongly what they did not fully believe to deserve it.SCROTFTULA CURED.This certificate conclusively proves that his Sarsaparilla has perfect control over the most obstinate disease of the blood, Three persons cured in one house is unprecedented.THREE CHILDREN.Dr.Townsend\u2014Dear Sir :\u2014I have the pleasure to inform you that three of my children have been cured of the Serofula by the use of your excellent medicine.They were attlicted very severely with bad sores ; have taken only four bottles ; it took them away, for which I feel myself under deep obligation.Yours respectfully, Isaac W.Crary, 103 Wooster st.New York, March 1st, 1847, GREAT FEMALE MEDICINE.Dr.Townsend's Sarsaparilla is a sovereign and speedy cure for insipient Consumption, Barrenness, Leucorrhea, obstructed or difficult Menstruation, and for the general prostration of the system\u2014no matter whether the result be of inherent cause or causes, produced by irregularity, illness or accident.Nothing can he more surprising than its invigorating effects on the human frame.Dersons, all weakness and lassitude, from taking it, at once become robust and full of energy under its influence.It immediately counteracts the nervelessuess of the female frame, which is the great cause of barrenness.1t will not be expected of us, in cases of so delicate a nature, to exhibit certificates of cures performed, but we can assure ths afflicted, that hundreds of cases have been reported to us.Several cases where families have been without children, after using a few bottles of this invaluable medicine, have been blest with healthy offspring.Dr.Townsend :\u2014My wife being greatly distressed by weakness and general debility, and suffering continually by pain and a sensation of bearing down, falling of the womb, and with other difficulties, and having known cases hearing it recommended for such cases as I have described, I obtained a bottle of your Extract of Sarsaparilla, and followed the directions you gave me.In a short period it removed her complaints and restored her to health.Being | grateful for the benefits she received, I take the pleasure in thus acknowledging it, and recommend it to the public.M.D.Moore, cor.Grand & Lydius sts.Albany, Aug.17th, 1844.TO MOTHERS AND MARRIED LADIES.This Extract of Sarsaparilla has been expressly prepared in reference to female complaints.No female who has reason to suppose she is approaching that critical period, \u2018The turn of life,\u201d should neglect to take it, as it is a certain preventive for any of the numerous und horrible di- senses to which females are subjected at this time of life.This period may be delayed for several years by using this medicine.Nor it is Jess valuable for those who are approaching womanhood, as it is calculated to assist nature by quickening the blood and invigorating the system.Indeed, this medicine is invaluable for all the delicate dis- cases to which women are subject.It braces the whole system, renews permanently the natural energies\u2014Dby remov ng the impurities of the body \u2014 not so far stimulating the system as to produce a anhse- quent rolaxation, which is the case of most medicines THOMAS KEATING, CrrmisT, &c., No.79, St.1 Paul's Church Yard, London.9 he had of Mr, J.Bowrrs, Droggist, Quebec ;

but after using about two bottles, I found my appetite restored, and the heartburn entirely removed ; and I would earnestly recommend the use of it to those who have been affiicted as 1 have been.Yours, &e., W.W.VaxZaxpr.#5 LOOK OUT FOR IMITATION.\u2014Owing to the extensive Sale and unparalleled snceess of his medicine, unprincipled persons have copied labels, and put up medi- cinu in the same shaped bottles.See that cach Bottle has the written signature of § P.TOWNSEND.For Sank, wholesale and retail ;

The Bank has again raised her interest on loans upon Government Stock, having reduced only a few weeks before.This manifests, we will not say, an insecurity on the part of the Bank, but a degree of nervous uneasiness in her action, for which, certainly, wa were not prepared.\u2018The failure of an extensive Share Broker, Mr.Shewell, though perhaps, not so immediately felt at the Stock Exchange, has given a shock to certain Railway Lines.The Lines likely to be the greatest sufferers are Brighton, Cale- donian, and North Stafford\u2014but the depression has been experienced more or less in all.Several Shares of the Lines just mentioned, have been thrown on the Market\u2014 and, of course, the influence of the depression has been felt through the entire circle.The East India interest is, apparently, as deeply implicated as Merchants who have been trading to the South American Republics and the United States.In Dublin we have only heard of one serious failure, and that has occurred in Smithfield.We have heard nothing of the liabilities of the house in question, nor of its ultimate capacity to meet the demands which may be made on it, We have lieard of some suspensions in Belfast\u2014but, not, as yet, of any serious results, - We beliove the cn- gagements of the house in question are principally in England and Scotland, - The fact is, what began with the Iinporters of Corn, hag spread through every kind of interest.None of th m are doing well.It is impossible, while Discounts continue at Six to Seven per Cent.,-\u2014whilo heavy failures are taking place in England\u2014while, on the Continent bankruptcies are of constant occurrence, and even in-the United States, which made such lots of Money this year by the traffic with England\u2014people are expecting one of the Monetary crashes so famous and so familiar in the Model Republic.In a word, Commercial Affairs\u2014or, perbaps, we should rather say, Money Matters\u2014have not looked so gloomy for many years.; It is idle to speculate as to the causes, except, indeed, with a view to their remedy, if not their removal.The failure of the Potato in Ireland, last year, is, no donbt, the proximate cause\u2014more correctly speaking, the accelerating impulse.This cause is in the process, let us hope, of cure, by the advent of a good Harvest.But, the void has to be made up, and it will take much more than another year, we suspeet, before it be filled, The people will be kent upon short commons for yet a while, and so long as the demand for food, no matter in whatever quarter it may occur, is greater than the supply, the stringency in the Money Market must continue.The Railroads have been mentioned repeatedly as leading to the present derangement, aud it is vain to deny that the Money alisorbed in their construction has had the effect of contracting the operations of Commerce.We have extreme gratification in announcing that the Lords of the \u2018Treasury have authorised the Relief Commissioners to make a free grant of the entire of the amount advanced to the Relief Committees, under the 10th Victoria, chap.22, for fever expenses in Ireland.\u2018This, certainly, Quebec, Oct.11th, 1847.ADVERTISEMENT.T a MEETING OF BAKERS held on Thursday square ; à Stable of forty-eight feet by cighteen ; a large dwelling house 48 fect by 24; a lot of two acres in front, and about 10 acres in depth ; wharves and buildings, all new and of the best materials; joining the St.Nicolas Mills on the west, and on the east to Louis Lambert, a splendid place for any person wishing to establish a line between St.Niconas and QuEnec.It is about ten acres from Craig's road, leading to the Eastern Townships.\u2014 Conditions to be known by applying to the proprietor EDWARD BAKER, of the Steamer * Hart,\u201d or to J.evening, the 30th September, after having taken into consideration the immense loss sustained by the Trade, by reason of the extensive credits which have hitherto heen granted for Brean, and for the further reason that Flour can only be had for Cash, or at a very short credit: the annexed document was signed by the Bukers, and the following Resolutions unanimously adopted :\u2014 1 9 .\u2014That from and after SATURDAY, the 9th OC- , TOBER next, CASH is to be requested for Breap left i daily, Contracts and Public Institutions excepted.2 ©, \u2014That on the Moxpay of cach week, the Ac- : counts of those who may not pay daily shall he made up : by the Driver or other person, and payment requested ;

\u201cthe home of the free.\u201d The British possessions, on the northern part of this continent, are almost the only parts of the world, where some degree of security is yet enjoyed, but the leven of discord is at work, in notions imported from abroad, in the distinctions of national origin and religious creeds, which are all used as engines to promote the ambition of individuals aspiring to power, office and emoluments, of which they fix the amount for themselves and their supporters, out of the proceeds of the taxes imposed by themsclves, .PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE QUEBEC GAZETTE.\u201c Royal Exchange, London, Oct.2nd, 1847.[CONTINUED.] The present day has been onc of a more tranquil character in mercantile circles, no failure of the least importance having been spoken of in à manner that would justify an allusion here.Letters from some of the country parts and from Liverpool, advise one or two further stoppages, but these were expected, and it is to Monday the fourikh that all are looking with anxiety and fear.Some predict a more favorable result than could be expected, but conceive that the wholesale traders, rather than the mercantile community, will be the most pushed, the conclusion being warranted in part by the fact that these parties have lost a good friend in the house of Sanderson & Co., and cannot have been fully accommodated elsewhere.Were we to express our own opinion, we should say that until the mass of paper founded upon corn operations or drawn upon the Indian houses shall have matured,\u2014and the pity is that more such paper will arrive by succeeding mails \u2014there must be a pressure, and probably more stoppages, though some houses which could have gone on longer, have suspended in anticipation.Other firms are already making arrangements to re-commence, and we have heard this dav several instances of mutual accommodation and forbearance, which promise the happiest results, if persevered in, and extended to other circles.It is a time of trial; and each must help his neighbour.\u201cThe Stock Exchange has been the theatre of turmoil to-day, and according to one version which we simply mention, without desiring to authenticate it, the large speculators were resolved to cause such an effect upon prices, as should convince the Government of the necessity of supporting private credit.Certainly a pressure of sales of Exchequer Bills, whereby the value was reduced to 5s.and 10s.discount, did look rather ominous, but we ascribe those sales entirely to the necessity of raising money, thereby now the Bank has declared to advance to the larger holders.ast India Bonds were 10s.to 20s.discount, Consols for transfer were sold extensively at.845 to 84 (this price deciding one or two * policies\u201d as wagers) and at 843 to 843 for the 14th instant.The latest bargains were at a slight rally, viz: 84% 4 for Tuesday, and 843 2 for the 14th October.For November the prices have been 854 to #.Bank Stock for the opening has been 195 to 196, and India Stock 228 to 223, \u201c A week of trial has indeed come upon the Share market, though not perhaps the worst we are yet to have.The intensity of the money pressure, the inflexible determination of Boards of Direction to push for \u201c calls,\u201d notwithstanding the recent assurances to the contrary, (and we instance the North Western as asking for half a million directly after Mr.Glyn's speech, the Oxford and Wolverhampton, though at 14 discount, demanding £7 10s.per share, and so forth until an aggregate amount of 3 and 4 millions is called for this month,) and the partial disturbance of confidence in the intrinsic value of Railway property, which usually results from the inconvenience of getting temporary advances upon it in times like these, circumstances have combined to depress values, and in some instances almost to check business to any extent.The embarrassment of John Shewell & Sons, a very old established Broker's firm, which had acted for principles who gave good support to the market, has also been against the maintenance of prices, and we fear there is yet another cause, which may come shortly into operation, unless matters take a favorable turn.Many country Bankers are in the habit of making advances, upon Railway property, at a margin considerably below the current value at the period when the parties borrow, but such is the depreciation of prices that we fear that that margin will ere long be attained, and then the borrower must cither redeem his property, or suffer it to be thrown upon the market at an enormous sacrifice to himself, in order to cover his Banker.Our hope in this respect is that as the fall in shares has been constant throughout the year, most parties have been compelled gradually to withdraw them, when the time expired for which the loan was made, and that the Bankers have declined prolonging the advance, or otherwise placed the margin still lower, so {hat even a greater fall may occur cre forced sales ve to be effected.It is but right to point atten= tion to these facts, becaus that what they have been doing du ol oho their shares\u2014may have beep do pee pihers.Le extreme rates of ord hundreg, of ished, this week, a declin ; North of England, Great Westar cout ne a in North Western, £8 in Midland, apg os: donien, North Stafford and South Ww si very difficult sale at even these rates Tm, with dinary that while sharcholders com lai Tar move ; they take no steps in concert 1 they do, exigent demands made upon them and Bist the for it, in part, by the fact that some ha apc others have not, though ere long, count constantly accruing, that th eel a disgust at the sacrifice ' : each \u201ccall\u201d entails upon ey ose Capital whi now, with £G and £10 paid up, which are.Pet almost at a gift, and which people will rate be ly than pay u on ler forfe; 16 jollowing 1s extracted fy report :\u2014 5 foto from the Manchest The gloomy and unfavorable condition ness matters, as indicated in our last Circular comparatively unimportant when viewed in ref to the actual position of affairs during this m Lo a period which, for its intense severity will Lo remembered.We may endeavour but 2 by impossible, to make parties at a distance acquainted with the influence which ari series of disastrous tidings has had i lity.Failures, we believe, exceeding.five nlc sterling, and many of them bearing either direct AR indirectly upon the Cotton trade, could not }, yo pected to happen without engendering general on wide spread distrust, nor without aggravating materially the state of the money market, and on sequently rendering discount facilities more diffe of attainment.But for a perceptible improve il in our home trade, and the existence of a very vou demand consequent upon that improvement pis the Just three weeks, wo should have had to repos something approaching very near a suspen operations i Voth, À ! M Psion à a limited extent.Some descriptions of Yams however, experienced a fair demand, \u201cStocks of buth Cloth and Yarns are general) heavier than they were & month ago, though to » material extent.Prices of both must, in many cases be considored perfeetly nominal, and determinabl only by tlie situation of the producer, and the cha acter and extent of the operation submitted to lim \u2018\u2019Though Cotton has declined about 13d pe pound, from the highest point, the position of Spine ners and manufacturers is not essentially improve by it: Yarns and Goods having also given way, with a certainty of a further downward tendency.such is the dis @ wealthy wil of bus becomg it is utte)) Intellisibl sing from \u201cThe accounts by the overland Mail, though fard from favorable, are considered to be as good as might have been expected, We believe that we were amongst the first to predict that bad consequences would result from the immense and indiscriminaty shipments which were being made to India and China No regard appears to have been paid to the leviti- mate wants of these important markets on the contrary, supplies have been sent forward as if the consumption were boundless, and the sources of payment The last intelli- 88 in return inexhaustibly valuable, gence is painfully confirmatory of our views, \u201c\u2018We may notice in conclusion, that the Just American steamer, which arrived in Liverpool yesterday, has brought a fair amount of orders, and § with thew the agreeable intelligence that the matters À in dispute Letween the United\u2019 States and Mexico, gi may now reasonably be expected to be soon adjusted, § Such, we hope, will be the case; if so, a valuable § market will again be open to us.\u2018 \u201d Halifax papers of the 16th instant, were received on Saturday morning.Their dates is one day before the arrival of the Cambria at Halifax, If it be true that the English mails are to be forwarded through the British Provinces, it is proved by the frequent receipt of Ilalifax papers of the day before the urrival of the steamers that the mail might reach Quebec nearly as soon as it arrives by way of Boston, and if conductors were appointed to proceed with the mails with all possible despateh, they might arrive before they usually reach us by way of Boston.It is tobe hoped also that our friends in the Eastern Provinces will hasten the establishment of Electric Telegraphs, to meet the line from Quebec, in which case we shal have the news by the steamers two days before they § arrive at Boston.The Halifax papers mention that Lieut.-Governor HUNTLEY had returned to Prince Edward Island.There were reports that he was recalled, and that} the Island was to be annexed to Nova Scotia.The latest Mexican news will be found in our extracts from United States papers of the 21st inst.We have no news of importance from Upper Canada and Montreal.\u2018The state of the com markets in Europe has nearly suspended all speculation in grain and flour, and any fluctuation in price which occurs, is trifling.\u2018 His Excellency the Governor General, Lady Elgin, and their guites, returned to Montreal on Saturday last.The season at Quebec is preparing us for the comforts of clean snow covered roads and streets.The slight coating of snow in the fields, which fell on the 22nd instant, has entirely disappeared with the heavy fall of rain last night., Much ploughing and farm work, however, remains yet to be done, and the business of the Port no longer allows the period for the latest sailing of the shipping to be fixed for the 25th October and the 10th November, which certainly prevented the occurrencs of many disasters, and a higher rate of psraet, The work inl the ship-yards, which has been mostly suspended for some time past, we are glad to hear, is partially resumed, so as to provide the usual a ployment for a numerous class of the inhabitan during the winter.Accounts have been received from Mr.Blaiklock\u2019s exploring party for a road to lake St.John, Qutié 22nd instant, they had got to the head waters : River Ste.Anne on a straight line from the south west corner of Stoneham to luke St.John examiné the country on both sides for a road.They foun good place for a Bridge over the Jacques Ca a 5 near the settlements of the Canadian squatters it Stoneham.The letter says: \u201cThe road that I have ted \u201c this far is better than the Cape road [behind Ca ;

and that a petition be addressed to His Excellency the Governor General, to solicit the loan of the Old Custom House, to be converted into a Seamen's Home, not only to accommodate Searnen with Board and Lodging ; but also to furnish them with a good Library and Reading Room, to amuse and improve their minds.This would induce the Seamen, when in port, to spend their time more pleasantly and profitably than they now do.Institutions of this kind have been found to be of great advantage both in Europe and America.And in no place is one more nceded, than in Quebec, therefore, wc respectfully request your Honor to call a public meeting in the City Hall, for carrying out this important design.Quebec, 20th October, 1847.Saml.Alcorn, Rev, P.McMahon, Thaddeus Osgood, Agent of Jas.Gibb, Friendly Union, Clark Ross, John C.Davidson, Wes- John Ross, leyan Minister, Thomas Fraser, J.Henderson, Geo.S.Pierce, Isaac Eckart, H.Dubern, J.Miller, J.Hobrough, J.Musson, Wm.Bignell, Daniel Wilkie, A.Laurie, J.Langlois, C.Wurtele, John Clugston, Minister, David Campbell, \u2018Wm.Booth, < C.C.Woodroffe, Jas.Evins, Ed.Burroughs, Thos, H.Oliver, Wm.G.Wartele, Angus McDonald, Rev.Jas.Drummond, Archd.Campbell, J.Neilson, J.Wilson, David Gilmour, J.Bolton Noah lreer, C.Gethings, C.Smith, John Dean, Wn.8.Sewell, G.G.Ardouin, Wm.Cowan, W.right, John Munn, John Cook, D.D.J.Cairns, Ii, Lane, Wel x S Geggie, Giffard Dorey, Wesleyan .Logie, | Minister, ' D.M.Wright, J.Hale, D.Cameron, Jas.Douglas J.8.Hossack, A MEETING of the CITIZENS, pursuant to the i isition, is requested, in.the PARLIAMENT eG 5 on MONDAY EVENING, the 25th inst.iN o'dlock.at SEVEN oct.a.ORILL STUART, Mayor.SALES BY AUCTION.NOTICE, HE Sale of Furniture, &c., belonging to H.N.PATTON, Esq., will take place at his own residence, POINT LEVY, and not in Town, as recently advertised.First day of Sale on the 29th instant, precisely at TWELVE O'CLOCK, N.B.\u2014-Catalogues will be ready at the Subscriber's Store, 3 days previous to Sale;
