[ADVERTISEMENT. J AN EXPLANATION. Sib,—lt having come to my knowledge from several sources that my lata partner, Mr. James Guilford, has been industriously circulating certain statements to the effect that I had entered into partnership with him on false representations, &c., I must ask you to kiudly insert in your valuable paper these few lines .in my defence. I beg most distinctly to assert, and our deed of partnership will prove, that I never represented myself to be in a position to put £-300 (as stated by Mr. Guilford) into the business ; but, on the contrary, it is expressly stipulated in the said deed of partnership that Mr. James Guilford “■ shall from time to time, as required by the said partnership, find and provide such capital as may be necessary,” and our dissolution was solely due to Mr. James Guilford’s inability to fulfill that stipulation, therefore from no fault of mine. It has also been stated by my late partner that I have “ received certain monies due our late firm, and failed to account for the same.” To this statement I make the most emphatic denial, it being utterly untrue. Trusting you will insert the foregoing in justice to me, as false reports such as are above alluded to cannot but seriously injure me unless contradicted, —I am, &c., C. W. Langstone, Late Partner in James Guilford & Co.

An American exchange says:—Schemes for making money are never wanting, and, therefore, I do not expect to. create much interest when I announce one more. However, my scheme may be strongly recommended to those living in large towns, and to those who are interested in parish affairs and urban improvements. There are several moves in my little plan of amassing filthy lucre, and it will be better, perhaps, to state them in order ; 1. You busy yourself in parochial matters, and get upon the vestry. 2. You ascertain that certain dilapidated buildings are very shortly required for improvements. By your position upon the vestry you are enabled to worry the owner with sanitary inspector’s visits and notices of all kinds, until he is weary of his property. 3. Having thus worried the owner, you innocently propose to, and do, obtain the property upon lease for a long term of years, at a far lower rental than it would have commanded before the sanitary inspector and other bogies appeared upon the scene. 4. The bogie being quiet, you purchase the property as innocently as you obtained the lease. 5. You then await the natural course of events, and sell the property to the parish for two or three times the amount that you gave for it. Et wild, tout. We observe, with some surprise, that the Government have issued an ordinance in Cyprus requiring from the inhabitants forced, though not unpaid, labor, for the making of roads and other purposes. The ordinance is to be presented to Parliament, and it is clear, by Mr. Forster’s remarks on Monday night, that it will be sharply criticised. A Canadian colonist writes, in defence of this ordinance, that in many parts of Canada the settlers make the roads by forced labor, and that the system works well. But there is no parity at all between the cases. In Canada there is complete self-government, and if, under such a system as that, the very democratic legislature of the country finds it satisfactory to the people to arrange for a certain labor-contribution, rather than a tax, for the making of roads and so forth, the people cannot complain of their own law. It is a totally different thing in the case of a Crown colony or dependency like Cyprus, where forced labor means labor the terms and conditions of which are dictated by an irresponsible Government to a helpless people. That is serfage undisguised. Holloioay’s Pi I Is. —This cooling medicine has the happ est effect when the blood is a tendency to inflammatory action is set up in the system. One Pill taken shortly before dinner does away with the indigestion, fulness, and flatulency indicative ot a weak stomach or disordered liver, A few Pills taken at bedtime act as alteratives and aperients: they not only relieve the bowels, but regulate every organ connected with them : overcome all acrid humors, and encourage a free supply of all the secretions essential to our well-being, Holloway’s Pills thoroughly cleanse and perfec ly regulate the circulation, and beget a feeling of comfort in hot climates and high temperatures, which is most desirable for the preservation of health.—[ A-OVr.)
