Sir Paul Chater was with them, and had, he be- lieved, a complete scheme ready to meet all the objections that might be raised by sup- porters of the present site, and he knew that their friend, Mr William Danby, had all the details of this matter at his fingers' ends.

WHAT IS A COUGH?
The steamer Pas-de-Calais, with 180 pas- sengers aboard, from Calais, had en of ber paddles disabled by the storm, and she drifted for some time. The vessel had a narrow escape of going on the Goodwin Sands. The daninge was repaired, and the
Pus-de-Calais reached Dover,
The ship Camb ian Prince, bound from Coquimbo, West Coast of South America, to Middlesbrough foundered in the North Soa during the gale. Of the 20 persons aboard only one was saved.
[The Cambrian Prince was an iron ship of 1393 tons gross and 1272 tons net, and
practicable at present.]
The U.S. Navy.
The Earl of Rosebery said that co-opera- tion with Germany in this nutter was not necessary. The fact that coercion had been agreed upon before approaching Mr J. Hay, the United States Secretary of State. was not in accordance with the comity of nations.
The molin was withdrawn.

TRADE
THERAPION
MARK.
This successful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind and surpasses everything hitherto employed.
THERAPION No. 1
in a remarkably short time, often a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, superseding injections, the use of which does irre- parable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious diseases.
THERAPION No.2
for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swelling of the joints, secon dary symptoms, gout, rheumatism, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to em ploy mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of sufferers' teeth and ruin of bealth. This pre- paration purifies the whole syktem through the blood, and thoroughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body.
THERAPION No.3
fornervousexhaustion, impaired vitality, sleepless- ness, and all the distressing consequences of early error, excess, residence in hot, unhealthy climates, &c. It possesses surprising power in restoring strength and vigour to the debilitated.
is sold by all the principal Chemists and Merchants throughout the World. Price in England 2/9 & 4/6. In ordering, state which of the three numbers is required, and observe above Trade Mark, which is a fac-simile of word THERAPION' as it appears on Hritish Government Stamp (in white letters on a red ground) affixed to every package by order of His Majesty's Hon. Commissioners, and without which it is a forgery. Sold by A. S. Watson & Co., Lanured,
