We regret to state that the Bill passed last Ses- sion for the erection of a building for a Lunatic Asylum and other objects ofchariiy, has bot-n suspended try the Queen in Council, on the ground, that the appointment of the Trustees by the Legislative Council and House of Assembly, would be conferring executive powch on the

Legislative bodies. The Bill for the appointment of l Coroners irt each ofihc Counties is rejected, because the appointment is in the Governor, by and with the advice of the Executive Council, whereas it is maintained that the appointment ought to have been iii the hands of the Governor alone; and also. that no retiring allowance is ~ ' trovidcd for the otficer at present in charge oftliat office.

“7 H. TAYLOR invites persons from the

o Colonies. visiting London, to inspect his m- cltinery, now in operation. for cutting wood into staves, latlis, shingles, (kc. By this invention, for which Pa- tents Iiir Great Britain and her Colonies have been obtained. a verv simple machine, with two horse power, can cut upwards of two hunder strives or shingles in a minute, all, whether the feathered shingles or straight slaves, as smooth as if planed 0r drawn, and without loss ufwood or even sawdust. Those who have seen the machinery, admit that it is at once simple and efiicaci- ous, and likely to supersede in a great measure the present mode of manufacturing those articles. Mr. Taylor’s object is to sell his patent for the various Colo- nies or grant licences for its use, and he earnestly solicits those who are concerned in the wood trade, to call and satisfy themselves at the Square Shot Tower, Surrey side of \Vater'oo Bridge.

various impurities, and crudities constantly settlin ‘ “ around them ; and to remove the hardened faces whic collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as taproduce habitual 'costiver ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrheu,-with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists, who examine the human bowel! afier death: and hence the prejudice of those well in- formed me?) against quack medicines—or medicines pre- pared atid llt—l‘ttltled to the public by ignorant persons. The second efiiect ofthe Life Mcdiciiics is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and tie lungs, the healthful action ofwhich entirely depends upon the regularity ofthe urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red colour from the agency of the liver and the lungs, before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner oflicttlth in the blooming cheek. ‘ Moti'at's Vegetable Life Medicines have been tho- roughly tested, and pronounced it sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitiition ofthe Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn mid Headache,"Restlefisness, Ill- temper, Anxiety, Langour and llIi-lanclioly. Costiveness, Diarrlicea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveteriite Sores, Scorhniic Eruptions and Bad Cotnplcxions, Eruptivo complaints, snllow, cloudy and other disagreeable com- plexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipeliis. common Colds and nflueri'la, and various other complaints which aIIiict the human frame. In Fever and Ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been most eminently successlul—so much so, that in the Fever and Aguc Districts, Physici- ans almost universally prescribe them.

All that Mr. Moli'at requires of his patients is, to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directions. It is not by a Newspaper notice, or by any thing that he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the results of a
