Approved by the Academy of Medicine at Paris and other Medical authorities in England and abroad. This Self-Applicable Physical Curative, unlike noxious drugs, is perfectly harmless and of an efficacy vastly superior to all other external remedies. Owing to the physiological, physical, and chemical effects of the Electricity they gently and permanently impart into the system, these Appliances exercise an internal action, promoting the digestion, circulation, and nutrition, thereby assisting Nature in her efforts to restore the normal balance of health and vigour in a de- bilitated constitution; hence the remarkable cures they dailv effect in cases of Rheumatism Lumbago Sciatica Neuralgia Gout Head and Tooth ache j Indigestion Liver Complaint Paralysis Nervous Deafness Nervous Deafness Epilepsy General and Local Debility Functional Disor- ders,&c..&c. After all other remedies have failed, and thus populari- sing Electricity in accordance with the authentic enco- miums in the Medical and Scientific Press. Recent improvements in these appliances by the Inventor render their self-application extremely com- fortable and effective, and thus remediate former incon- veniences. ACADBMIE DE MEDICINE, PARIS.—Extract of an official Report at a meeting, April 1, 1851. The Voltaic Chains of Mr. Pulvermacher are really a most wonderful apparatus." The Committee beg to propose to the Academy to address their thanks to Mr. Pulvermacber for his most interesting communication. Adopted.—Bulletin de VAcademie, Tome xvi. No. 13." SUCCESSIVE IMPROVEMENTS have led to the following testimonials by the elite of the Medical Profession in the metropolis-Such as Sir C. Locock, M.D., Bart., Sir J. R. Martin, Bart., C.B.F.,R.C.S.,F.S.A., and F.R.S., &c., &c., &c. DR. J. PEREIRA, F.R.S., F.L.S., in his "Materia Medica," page 53. 185t. Fourth edition :— "The application of the Voltaic circuit has been largely prescribed, and has become a popular remedy in the form of Pulvermacher's Galvanic Chains. They should be worn so as to encircle the part affected, in cases of Rheumatism, Paralysis, &c. They are re- garded by practitioners as a valuable and convenient means of applying the continuous Voltaic current." THE 44 LANCET," NO. 1, Vol II, 1856 :— "This ingenious apparatus of Mr. Pulvermacher has now stood the test for some years. • I" may be used by the medical attendant, or by the patient himself and the operator can now diffuse the galvanic influence over an extensive surface, or concentrate it on a single point. In these days of medico-galvanic quackery it is a relief to observe the very plain and straightforward manner in which Mr. Pulvermacher's apparatus is recommended to the profession." CAUTION.—PULVERMACHER'S VOLTAIC APPLIANCES have, by their unparalleled curative success, incited envious speculators—unable, as they are, to infringe his patent-to an absurd competition with articles falsely represented as Electrical; therefore observe that no Galvanic or Voltaic Bands or Belts can be genuine unless bearing the fac simile of J. L. PULVDR- MACHER'S signature on the box.

The pOInts of interest in the evening's entertainment were Madame Lemmens-Sherrington's singing, "Angels ?ve~ bright and fair," accompanied on the Mustel Organ Cnevallier Lemmens with a skill and pathos that drew out the beauty and sublimity of this musical crea- ST D JHanclel that none but a true artist could pourtray. *vl Hilton, the renowned basso of Westminster Abbey, sang the song of the Bell-ringer." His fine rich and sympathetic notes created a genuine enthusiasm, and he found favour with the Swansea audience as he has nil1 r ewllere* Madame Poole was also popular. Chevalier Lemmens' execution of Scotch melodies on the Mustel organ excited long and continued applause. The concert was under the able management of Mr. James C. Daniel, of Clifton, and the arrangements of the even- ing reflects great credit upon that gentleman. BETTWS.—A bazaar, patronised by the Countess of Cawdor, Lady Dynevor, and Lady and Miss Morris, bketty Park, was held on the 27th ult. on Dyffryn Ground, Llandybie, in aid of the funds for the restora- tion of Bettws Parish Church. Notwithstanding the in- clemency of the weather, the attendance was beyond the number expected, and a sum of 265 was netted by means of this undertaking. Of the patroneses, Lady and Miss Morris presided over stalls. Valuable assistance of a similar nature was rendered by Mrs. Morris, Wernslan, Mrs. Lewis, Miss Morris, and Miss Jane Morris, Ponta- man; Mrs. Hughes, Bettws Vicarage; Mrs. Perkins, Pontyclere; Miss Rogers, Tirydail; Mrs. Ling, Bright- lingsea Miss Edmoad, Claremont; Miss Williams, Cross Inn; Miss Lloyd, Blaina, and Miss Richards, Brynaman.
MONEY MARKET.—THURSDAY.
MONEY MARKET.—THURSDAY. Quarter-past Twelve. THE RATE OF DISCOUNT. The Bank of England Directors this morning made no alteration in the Rate of Discount. b The Stock Markets are still inanimate, and prices have an undecided tone. Among Foreign Bonds Turkish are firmer, but Italian are slightly lower. The fall on the Paris Bourse last evening, arising from the report that the King of Italy was about to visit the German Emperor at Berliu, and certain vague, political rumours in connection with that circumstance, has influenced business in the Stock Kxchange unfitvourably in the de- partment of Foreign Government Securities. In American there has been a slight relapse in Erie Railway Shares, and the lines of the Dominion show a downward tendency. Dulness is the characteristic of English Railway Shares. Anglo- American Telegraphs are easier, and Miscel- laneous steady. The condition of the Money Market is still that of hardness, with very little business in progress. The Bank of England received, with very little balance for the week gold to the extent of £ 234,000. The last instal- ment of the French indemnity, £10,000,000, is paid to-day. The contract for the new Turkish Loan of £15,000,000 has being signed at Constan- tinople. Consols are quoted 92j{ 92 £ for Money. and 92 7-16 92 9-16 for the Account.
. THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR.
THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR. CARTHAGENA, Monday.—The Almansa and Vit- toria have started for Gibraltar, with the British ironclads Triumph and Swiftsure, without any resistance from the Intransengentes. j HENDAYE, Tuesday.—Francisco who was for- merly lieutenant to Santa Cruz, haviog ventured into the Carlist lines with arms contrary to orders, has been arrested as an outlaw, and lies under sentence of death by a Carlist court-martial. At Vera the Carlists have carried off a number of women, who were chosen by ballot in the pro- vince of Biscaye for the purpose of making their uniforms. Amongst the unlucky ones is a young lady with a dowry of seven thousand pounds. The second number of El Cuartel Real appears with the heading of Long Live Pio Nono." A declaration of Biarritz residents, affirming that they saw the Deerhound captured on the high seas and clearly out of Spanish waters, has already received 21 respectable signatures. Don Carlos is reported to be on his way back towards the frontier. BARCELONA, Tuesday. — Notwithstanding the arrival of a reinforcement of 800 men at Menresa, the convoy of supplies was not able to leave that place for Bega on the 31st ult., as expected. The reinforcement joined their already mutinous com- rades, and refused like them, to escort the convoy to Berga. A portion of these troops have set out for Vich. The Mayor of Villefranche announces that the Calist chief Miret was beaten yesterday by a Republican detachment, under Colonel Marti, at Cappellades. MADRID, Tuesday Evening.—At the Cabinet Council held to-day, the Ministers are reported to have decided upon announcing to the army and navy, that the Military Code henceforth will be rigidly enforced, and that judgments of the military tribunals will only be referred to the Cortes in cases where sentence of death is pro- nounced. The Council will meet again to-morrow, when Senor Castelar will be present. Should the present differences in the Cabinet then result in a decided Ministerial crisis, and Senor Castelar in that case refuse the Presidency of the Council, it is expected that Senor Carvajal will undertake that office. A committee's report in favour of a Bill demand- ing the re-establishment of the Military Code, especially in cases of insubordination, was read in the Cortes to-day. The author of the Bill was the reporter. BAYOIWE, Wednesday.—That Carlists have ob- tained 1500 recruits from the province of Alicante, and 5200 in that of Castellon. The commander of the Republican schooner Consuelo, stationed near Bilbao, has joined the Carlists. THE ALMANSA AND VITTORIA. MADRID, Tuesday Evening.—It is announced here that a Spanish war steamer has arrived at Escombreras Bay with two leading officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sent to request from Admiral Yelvertou the delivery of the Al- mansa to the Spanish Government when they reach Gibraltar.
THE STATE OF PERSIA.
THE STATE OF PERSIA. The Independence Beige publishes a letter from Teheran giving a deplorable account of the state of affairs in Persia. Matters are in such a critical state there, it says, as to render it advisable that the Shah should not delay his return from his travels, so as to establish some sort of order. The fact must be remarked, the writer continues, that not only is the Shah in Europe, but also that most of the members of the government are with him. Statesmen is rare in Persia, and the bur- den of affairs are too heavy for the Ministers who have remained. Brigandage has never before as- sumed such vast proportions in the country. On the Kirmansha side the robbers have organised themselves into a regular army, and pillage the whole country. Three hundred men from the cavalry were lately sent out against them, and, after a desperate combat, which lasted a whole day the troops were obliged to retreat, not without having killed a certain number of brigands, but having also about 20 of their own men hort de combat. As may be perceived, all these things are going on very badly, and an urgent necessity exists for the return of Nassr-ed-Din, and for his government to repress energetically this disorder, for we are rapidly approaching the most complete anarchy. With regard to the Persian army, another Te- heran correspondent states that the artillery force consists of 30 guns, with carriages and horses com- plete, besides some camel artillery. The infantry organisation is the battalion system, the battalions being some 100, or some 800 strong, according to the population of the district from which each is drawn. The battalion is called by the name of the district, and its ranks always recruited from it. There are 70 of these battalions, each commanded by an officer of rank corresponding to a major with us, and he has eight captains, eight lieu- tenants, and eight sub-lieutenants, under him. The physique of the men is good, they march well, and are most amenable to discipline, and as the drinking of wine is forbidden by their religion the crime of drunkenness, which so often gets the British soldier into trouble, is almost unknown. They have no regular cavalry, but some 50,000 l< it-regular horse "can be mustered in time of wa". They are on much the same footing as the Co sacks of the Caucasus. The state allows each ma i seven tomans—about £2 18s. 4d.—towards supplying his horse, arms, and equipment.

There are now over 8,000 registered teetotalers in 160 regiments which have furnished returns, being an average of one in 17 throughout the service. The Railway News points out that the railways last half-year incurred an extra expenditure of £ 1,760,0(K), to earn increased receipts of £1,800,000. MOCK-POPERY MADE EASY.—It is whispered that a great improvement, from a Ritualist point of view, might be effected in the whispering Gallery of St. Paul's. In that situation there might be established a confessional, to consist of a chair on one side ef the gallery for the priest, and a stool opposite to it on the other for the penitent, so that the former might sit, and the latter might kneel, with their faces to the wall, and the con- fession be made, a.nd the absolution pronounced, with commodious privacy, in the position.—Punch. A FRAUDULENT PRIEST.—The Correctional Tribunal of Paris has just been occupied in trying the Abbe Dussert on a charge of obtaining goods on fraudulent pretences. The prisoner, who had formerly been third vicar of the parish of Saint-Dems-Au-Saint-Sacrement, but had been dismissed on account of irregular conduct, had presented himself to M. de Reissens, agent or Count de Vallarson, possessor of vineyards in the Beaujolais, and representing himself as the agent of several religmus societies, gave an order for thirty casks of wine. The goods were forwarded to Bercy, andthe xnvoice> sent to the accused. The price was 4200f., in addition to 234f., the cost of transport, &c. Dussert, on obtaining the warrant immediately visited M. Grivault, and sold the wine at a 1..s of 360f. The prisoner appears to have been interdicted some time since by the Archbishop of Paris from wearing the ecclesiastical costume, but he had dis- obeyed that order, and M. de Reissens declared that had his proposed customer not been dressed as a priest he should not have given him credit without strict inquiry. The court considered the offence proved, and sentenced the defendant to pay 4200f. to the plaintiff, and further, to undergo three months' imprisonment. ,¡j'
.... A PROTESTANT MANIFESTO.
A PROTESTANT MANIFESTO. The Protestant "Vigilance Committee," of which Lord Shaftesbury is chairman and Lord Ebury deputy-chairman, request the publication of the following address" to the Christian people of England" :— A time of grave peril has come to Protestant England. The archbishops have admitted the existence of clergy and liiity among us desiring to subvert the principles of the Reformation and. Jthough they describe these as a minority, they call that minority considerable,' and say that their designs constitute a real danger.' At the same time they declare that they can do nothing effectual to retain this dangerous party. That the so-called Anglo- Catholics in the Established Church count on a perfect impunity has lately been evinced by the startling fact that 480 priests' have signed and presented a petition to Convocation in the province of Canterbury, asking for 4 the selection and licensing of duly qualified con- fessors.' Already the practice of auricular confession is encouraged in a good many churches; public notice is given of the days and hours when the priest will attend to relieve the consciences of penitents and there is an indication of an intense desire to restore the confessional as an essential religious institution, in oblivion or in defiance of all the evidence of history that a secret con- fessional tends to degrade and demoralise the minds both of the clergy and of the people. It is notorious that other practices of the same school are spreading rapidly. The Lord's table gives place to the altar, the observance of the Lord's supper is changed into a. celebration of mass, and the 4 Blessed Eucharist' is reserved as in ROJ.n Catholic churches prayers are invited for the repose 01 the dead; and children are being educated (in some degree at the public expense) in familiarity with tenets, hymns, and ceremonies which are subversive at once of Christ's Gospel and of the English Reformation. Let this movement proceed unchecked, and in the next generation many parishes will be found as completefy under priestly domination, and as prejudiced against the Reformed faith and worship as the peasantry of Belgium or Brittany. It is not creditable to the Protestantism of England that this growing evil should have encountered as yet but a desultory resistance. From various causes, but especially from the want of concert among true Protestants, things have been allowed to come to such a pass that a serious agitation is required, and a very decided course of action rendered absolutely necessary to save the country from the revival of obsolete superstitutions. In such action, while the duty of resistance devolves primarily on the faithful clergy and laity within the Establish- ment, account must also be taken of the senti- ments and interests of that large portion of English Protestant Christianity which is in the position of Nonconformity. 4 If one member suffer, all the members suffer with it.' It is plain that the various religious communities in this country are so intertwined and so affected by each other that the progress of error in one, especially if it be the one of greatest extent and influence, must in some degree taint and injure all the rest. If the Protestantism of England be weakened, the mischief cannot be confined to the quarter where it begins it must deteriorate the national character and change the currents of national thought and life. Ap- peal, therefore, may surely be made in this emergency to Nonconformists as well as Conformists, on the two grounds of loyalty to Christ's Gospel and the claim of a Christian patriotism. In fact, the question must be treated as one of national magnitude and there is need of a combina- tion of Protestants without and within the Establishment to protect England from the confessional and other inven- tions of sacerdotalism, and to obtain the reversal of that baneful policy which in the past drove out so many of the staunch Protestants and fervent Christians from the English Church and separated her from the other reformed Churches of Europe. With a view to such concerted ac- tion two conferences have been held in London, at which Churchmen and Nonconformists have felt that they had common ground in the defence of the common faith. At the second conference, on the 10th of July, resolu- tions were unanimously passed, and a committee of vigi- lance appointed. With what object? In the first in- stance, to spread information, invigorate the Protestant convictions of the people, a.nd to rouse the country to a sense of the national periL This must lead, in the second instance, to the faithful testing of candidates for seats in the House of Commons in regard to their loyalty to the Protestant cause, inasmuch as without the sanction of the Legislature no effectual remedy can be applied to the Church of England as by law established. This move- ment, however, is not conceived in the interest of any party in the State and it is distinctly understood that that co-operation in it is not to compromise any man's liberty of opinion and of conscientious action on the separate question of disestablishment. But, whatever be the issue of other controversies, the desire of those who issue this appeal is to establish more friendly relations among all that are true to the Gospel, and to make the defence of that Gospel paramount to all other questions whatever. Their hope is that true-hearted men in all parts of the country will confer, pray, and, if possible work together in this time of common danger, so that by the inculcation of truth and the revival of spiritual earnestness, as well as by the public political action which the nature of the case requires, the ominous advances of superstition may, under the Divine blessing, be repelled, and the English Reformation not only vindicated but developed and perfected.—Signed, on behalf of the com- mittee—G. A. JACOB, D.D., D. FRASRR, D.D., hon. secretaries.
FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER.
FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER. It is said that" Navy Blue" and Sultan" (a kind of deep crimson colour) will be the favourite colours during the approaching season for goods in textile fabrics, more especially in ribbons and other trimming goods, It is rather noticeable that ribbons often strike the first key-note of the colours that ultimately become fashionable. Gentlemen'e neck-ties then follow suit. Afterwards mantles and fancy goods cloaks continne the taste, which is prolonged tnrough the whole range to textile fabrics. Dresses both in Navy Blue and Sultan will look well and be extremely appropriate colours for winter wear.—The Warehousemen and Drapers' Trade Journal. Some new toquets have recently been worn at the fashionable watering-places; they are composed of a bird with outstretched wings, and, literally, that is all. The head of the bird forms the centre of the toque, and the wings the sides. It is very original, but requires a pretty face and youth to wear it. Feather trimmings are very popular on dresses, particularly the new style, made of flat shiny feather, which form a fringe. They are used with successful effect on dressy mourning ioilettes. Waistcoats made to black sicilienne, and embroidered bll over with jet, are exquisits both for morning and grey faille dresses. Poplin is in demand for mourning toilettes. Bodices that are not made with waistbands have usually a small embroidered gusset at the side for the chatelaine or tan hook, as both these articles are now considered most essential accessories. Fans have so increased in size that in many instances they are legitimate objects of ridicule. For full-dress the Trianon fan is the favourite; it may be either silk or satin, and has a spray of flowers painted in one corner, with a long branch, diminishing in size gradually towards the opposite corner. The sticks are fine lacquered wood, to match the silk in colour; black satin leaves, with gold sticks, are also popular. Clusters of roses with butterflies, and scarlet geraninms, with white daisies, on a grey ground, are favourite contrasts. Japanese fans of thin light paper, painted with charac- teristic designs, and mounted on sandalwood sticks, as well as Russian leather fans oramented with monograms, are all fashionable. Chatelaines are now worn sufficiently long to permit the fans to be used without detaching them.-Fliane de Mtirsy in the" Queen" We see with satisfaction that the fashions decided for September, and those hinted at for the ensuing months, in every respect retain the character of good taste and elegant style which have lately distinguished them. Mix- tures of colours and shades still prevail, but with con- stant practice the tastes both of ladies and their modistes are greatly improving in this respect, and an amount of artistic refinement is brought to bear on these combi- nations, reflecting great credit on both the makers and wearers of the toilettes thus composed. The serge dresses worn at the sea-side or for travelling are very useful and comfortable. The dark blue ones are trimmed with lighter blue; this is much more recherche than white, and does not get dirty so soon. The white twill serges, trimmed with blue or even red, are excessively stylish, the latter, perhaps, rather more conspicuous but red is at all times a splendid colour for the sea-side, as it is not easily affected by sun or sea-air. The most fashionable way of making these costumes is with a polonaise, fastened on the cross all the way with buttons the colour of the trimming. One side—the right gene- rally—is lined a good way up with colour this side only is raised and turned up a la Paysanne, to show the lining, The visiting and evening dresses are very handsome. The skirts are long and full; if without tunic they gene- rally have a pouff cut in them. The newest make is with flounces part cf the way up the strain, and a tunic sewn in with the waistband, and reaching to meet or fall a little over the top flounce. This is a very much more elegant style than the flounces up to the waist. At the same time it is less likely to be damaged, as the tunic can be raised when the wearer sits down and it is found that the flounces to the waist very soon lose their freshness. A great number ef new shapes in hats have made their appearance; those with brims slightly shading the eyes, instead of being stuck at the back of the head, are infi- nitely better worn. There is no danger, we think, of any of our readers running into extremes, and wearing the hat very forward and nearly upright, in the very vulgar manner adopted by some. The brims of the hats that are turned down in front are generally raised either at the back or side. For morning wear, nothing is more ladylike than the Marin," of black English straw, with scarf of foulard fastened with one large loop and broad ead passed through a long buckle of jet, steel, oxidised silver, or mother of pearl. The bonnets are hardly to be distinguished from the smaller shaped hats, so many being made without strings. A new shape has a brim turned up all round, nearly flat to the crown at the sides. At the front is a second brim under the other. The space thus formed is occupied by flowers or ribbons. We have seen one excessively elegant in this shape; it was entirely covered with black lace, the two brims bound with pale blue corded silk; a torsade of blue rib- bon round, with which was twisted a black lace scarf; one sash-shaped end of lace hung behind, with two loops and long ends of blue ribbon very gracefully placed a close wreath of oonvolvuli between the brims. A long blue ostrich feather, placed in front, eurls partly over the crown, so as to encircle a lovely group of half-open rose de the buds, and then drops towyrds the back.— Le Follet.
