CARD SHARPERS AT KENDAL. - Three men, calling themselves WILLIAM BRADLEY and MICHAEL CAIN, of Manchester, and THOMAS RILEY, of Leeds, were apprehended at Kendal, on Friday afternoon, as being rogues and vagabonds, and for unlawfully playing at a certain game with cards. The prisoners went to the Fleece Inn, where they met a young man named WILLIAM DENNISON, a farm-servant, with whom they got into conversation, and one of them produced three cards, and DENNISON was induced to wager a shilling on his success in choosing a certain one among them. In this way he was allowed to win two shillings, after which he lost two florins, and urged on by the mans accomplices, he next risked a sovereign and lost it. Information was given to the police, and the men were taken before a magistrate and sentenced to two months' imprisonment, two women who were in company with them being sent out of town. One of the company had been previously known at the police-office. HOLLOWAY's PILLS. - Liver Complaints and Disorders of the Bowels. - It is impossible to exaggerate the extraordinary virtue of this medicine in the treatment of all affections of the liver or irregularities of the bowels. In cases of depraved or super-abundant bile, these Pills taken freely have never been known to fail. IN bowel complaints, they are equally efficacious, though they should then be taken rather more sparingly, for every medicine in the form of an aperient requires caution when the bowels are disordered, although, at the same time. a gentler or more genial aperient than these Pills, in moderate doses, has never yet been discovered. If taken according to the printed instructions, they not only cure the complaint, but improve the whole system.
