upon the public Magnetic Ring has peculiar claims
:
The Ring possesses all the properties of a Gal- venic Battery, without the disagreeable shock, hds, thereby transmitting the Galvanic current throu IIal-ghout the system in the same manner as the nerv- aus fluid affects the nerves, almost imperceptibly to the sensation, but most efficacious in its remedial results. The Galvano Electric principle is the strongest agent in nature-it rends rocks asunder, melts metals, and is of the same character as light ning such a tremendous power would cause death if applied injudiciously by means of strong Galvanic Batteries-indeed, from rer eat experience, it is proved that the lower the Galvanic current is reduced in intensity the greater will be its curative effects on the human system--in other words, the Galvanic fluid transmitted through the system in a proper dose is the only method of supplying the loss of nervous energy, increase vitality, and re- move discasca-for there is every reason to believe that vitality or life is dependent on a proper distri bution of electricity throughout the system, for when the nerves are impeded in their action there is always a partial paralysis of the parts affected, owing to the functions of the nerves being impair- ed through the loss of nervous vitality-the mode of cure in such cases has been to excite the action of the nerves by electricity, but the most rational way is to supply the nerves by a continual current, which is accomplished by means of the Garvano- Electric Ring. The system being supplied with the Galvano-Electric Buid is so much invigorated, that it will be capable not only to resist the power of contagion but likewise to expel the elements of disease, thus forming what Hippocrates termed the is medicatrix naturæ.” It is necessary that the rings, which are made of Zine and Copper chymi- Ship builders, ship owners, and barge-masters, cally prepared, should be accurately and Mathe- will find it the best material for painting the bot-matically constructed, otherwise no effect whatever toms of vessels and dressing the decks-for painting the first Chymists of the day, and oaving tested would ensue from their use.

THE RIGHT HONORABLE
LORD STANLEY
H. M. PRINCIPAL SECHETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES, &o, &c. &c. My Lord,
THE period has at length arrived, when, as Owners of land and property at HONGKONG, we direct to H. M's Government, in the confident can no longer refrain from addressing ourselves hope, that a plain statement of facts will induce H. M. Advisers, to sauction a matérial modifica tion of the System, which has hitherto been in operation, occasioning results alike injurious to the interests of the mercantile Community, aud the real and essential interests of the settlement.
It will scarcely be necessary for us, in the first place, to subunit, that shortlyafter the Is.. land was first eeded, or taken possession of by 11. M. Plenipotentiary in China, in the early part of 1841, a public sale of land was held, at which it was stipulated, that the terms and tenure of all property would hereafter be defin- ed by H. M. Government.".
But in a letter of H. M. Plenipotentiary, dated 17th June, 1841, copy of which is here- the lands would be granted in the simple, for one unto annexed, an expectation was held out, that or two years purchase at the rates paid at the public safe; or that they should be charged only with a normal quit rent, if that form of tenure continued to obtain.
This suggestion on the part of II. M. Plent potentiary, originated in the well known facts that the very limited quantity of ground, avail- able for Building purposes on the proposed sito of the present Town of Victoria, was the neca- sion of great competition, and the eventual payment of a Neale of Rent, which that Offer naturally and truly apprehended, would, if enforced, be detrimental to the progress and prosperity of the settlement,
