Holhway's Pills. — Nothing better.— -These invaluable Pills exert a greater and more beneficial influence over nervous disorders than any other medicine. Their mode of action is thoroughly consonant with reason — they completely purify the blood, relieve both head and stomach of all .faulty functions, and expel all oppressive accumulations from the bowels. With the blood purified, and all poisons purged from the system, regularity must prevail throughout the body. Aches and pains must cease; healthful energy must supplant weariness, and the shaky nerves must regain their ■• -wholesome tone. A course of these Pills eradi- ■ cates low spirits, nervous excitability, hysterics, . neuralgic twitches, and other derangements dependent on nervous maladies, which every conBiderate person may thus certainly and safely temove. . 2764 By latest advices it was not kDOwn at Melbourne whether H.M.S.

Wellington into the Floating Dock j'esterday, but up to the time of our despatch leaviug the port, it was not successful j auother attempt will be made this morning. We believe the fault of yesterdaylay in the slight construction of the temporary gates made to fit the steamer's bow, whereby one of them burst in when the dock was being pumped out. An old lady reading an account of a distinguished old lawyer who was said to be the father of the New York bar, exclaimed — 'Poor man! he had a dreadful i set of children.' The following melancholy advertisement appears in a Canadian paper : — ' Will the~gentleman who stole my melons on last Sabbath night be generous enough to return me a few of the seeds, as the .-melons are a rare variety.'
