I may say almost as much in the case of my wife, and alSo of the Rev. Mr. Tin son, of thef Isand of Jamaica.' For all cases of cough, inflamation of the chest, longs, and throat, I do most unhesitatingly recommend this aslthe best medicine I have ever tried.

The situation of thingiiin the Edsat is increasing in interest; and redidts of :character moat important may be looked for t ,' 'England appears. determined to force upon• China a trade of a charac ter second only to the slave, trade; inits in,jurious and' blighting effecte. Blood has been shed in this most unhallowed effort, and the recent, advicea from Eng land appear to concur in a belief' that the rash and: hasty measures of Capt. Elliott will be sustained by his government. In such a contest, butllittle honor can be gained, and the Struggle must therefore be wholly for profit. By sea the raisshaprien and un widely junks of the Chinese can never be'a match for the well appointed navy of England, and if as has been stated by some English papers, China should be invaded from the English pOssesgions f Ind; ad joining her in the South-West, the effeininate and ill-armed Chinese, can never compete with the Most remote hope of success, against the war-like, well appointed and highly disciplined „sepoya of liindoa- . tan. AO, 15 The consequences of such a contest may most se nously affect our interest. Exercising a supremacy in that quarter of the globe, England may beenabled to drive our merchants from the marhots of China, or force them to do business - op terms so disadvanta geous us to amount to a prohi(dtion. There fs anoth er branch of the Indian question, which may in its results affect most seriously European interests. , In• the west and north-west of India, England steadily pursues her schemes of conquest, and her armies have achieved a triumph which has been considered of sufficient imporbince to entitle them to the Wanks of Parliament, and for which their leader hasbeen made a Peer. The army has been increased,, and every' thing denotes a determination to place its subjection the whole of India. W hilst England thus pursues her pall} of aggres sion to the west and north-west, Russia as steadily, but with, at present, unequal success, bends her steps to the south-east. The dogged, resollniol2' which las marked the whole history of the'cabinet orBt. Peter*- burg. has never allowed it to be diverted from the at tainment of its object, nor is it to be supposed that now they are for the first time in 50 years to be foil ed. In Nesse!rode, Russia has a Minister, who has probably no superior in Europe', and the natural en ergy of the Emperor is admirably adapted to second the projects of this 'statesman. Eastern conquest, mqreover, has ever been next to that of Turkey, the favorite object of that nation. The Circtuisians, who are a warlike and gallant race, may far a period or time hold out, aided by their mountain fastness, but they must at length fall before the magic 'of Russian gold, if not the power of the Russian sword. This however is not the only point on which Rus sia is pushing her aggressions. The Khari and 'Oliva has fallen under its displeasure, dull an! expedition has, ere this, advanced to.reduce hiMito Submission. This country borders upon Atlghanistani and Eng land cannot of course brook European rivalry in that quarter; What the result may be, we pretend not to prophecy. In England a growing dislike to Russia is evident, and a portion of her politicians endeavor crattly to fan the flame, in order to answer their own private ends. Should these two nations meet in the East, it will he a war of giants, and on the fields of Northern India will the destiny of Europe, in all probability, for a period of years be decided. 'Russia, despite her wretched form of government; is, beyond; all dispute, daily increasing in power.and wealth ; her statesmen are among the; most enlightened and best informed of Europe, ifnot the most s i n. Genius and abilities there find not only fostering care and protection, but advancement to the higtesf offices and stations of the land. The enquiry is not,lis he a na tive Russian, but, has•he abilities, which he is ready to devote to our service? If he has, they tire the best' passports to imperial favor which the aspirant can bring. The progress of this nation, scarcely older than our own, is still onward; and Providence seems in its great purposes to Rave raised them up, to show to what a pitch of greatness, nations, under a form of government ito entirely adverse, may attain.—North American.
