IMPORTANT TO ADVERTISERS rpKE Counties of SOUTH WALES, bor- dering on England, offer the most valuable and Profitable fields for ADVERTISERS that can be found withiB. the same extent in the empire-if we exclude the great Metropolis, and the rich teeming districts of the ever-productive, the ever-absorbing NORTH. MONMOUTHSHIRE, GLAMORGANSHIRE, BRECONSHIRE, -ith their large population, commercial enterprise, and rapiditY-increasing wealth, are. unquestionably, COUNTIES to Which Advertisers may look with confidence for an ample return for any outlay they may incur, in pushing their several interests, with a view to large and produc- tive sales, &c. THE MONMOUTHSHIRE MERLIN, LAMORGANSHIRE AND ERECON SILURIAN, ND SOUTH WALES A DVERTISER, has been for more than a quarter of a century, the GREAT ADVERTISING MEDIUM OF THE DISTRICT. Advertisers desirous of availing themselves of the pub- licity of its columns, are requested to address the Publisher, Mr. CHRISTOPHERS, NEWPORT, MON- MOUTHSHIRE. Advertisements inserted on a Moderate Scale; and when Contracted for by the Year, Half-year, or Quarter, the terms are proportionately reduced. NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION.

LAST WEEK BUT TWO of this Elegant Building remaining Open, the Company JLJ belonging to the Royal Cirque Unique, opening in Swansea on Monday, December 28 On MONDAY, DECEMBER 7th, 1857, will be produced, regardless of expense, the Grand Equestrian Pageant, adapted from the works of that great and original genius, BYRON, M A Z E T P A. Mazeppa, alternately Savage and Splendid, Gorgeous Processions, Dretw and Deeoratiom, Oallant Kniahtt and Ladies Fair, Bouquets, Tournaments, and Extraordinary Feats of Trained Horses The Story has been considerably varied and a.mplifielt to the best resources of the CIRQUE UNIQUE, and a spectacle of unparalleled splendour will b9 produced. II Olinska, daughter of the Castellan, is beloved by Mazeppa, who passes under the assumed name of Cassimer her father has, however, provided a more substantial suitor m the person of the Count Palentine. His proposals are accepted by the Castellan, Ohnska's father, and the lady reluctantly consents. OD the eve of the marriage, Mazeppa secretly enters the chamber of the Count, and defies him to single combat a battle ensues, the Count is wounded, Mazeppa retreats, an alarm is given, he is taken, and the Castellan determines to make him an example of vengeance he orders the vile Tartar to be stripped, the fierv untamed steed is led forth, Mazeppa is fast bound to its back, Olinska implores pity for him—in vain; and the wild horse, amidst the glare of torches, savage shouts, and beacon fires, is suddenly released he dashes up mountains, down precipices, devoting his unhappy rider to scorching suns, piercing blasts, devouring hunger, and parching thirst; savage wolves follow in° quick pursuit, and threaten to rend him piecemeal, and a vulture hangs over his head, impatient for its expected prey. After an accumulation of horrors (so runs the story), they reach Tartary 5 the affrighted peasants, beholding the wild horse furiously pursuing its course, take tt for the VOLPAS, which, according to popular superstition, is a demon form that whirls across the Wilds of Tartary, foreboding death and desolation. A thunderbolt strikes a tree which falls to the ground. At thia moment the fiery steed sinks down exhausted, Mazeppa, apparently lifeless, extended on bis body. Abder Khan against whom a plot exists, headed by Thamer, a rebel chief, to drive him from his throne, enters and beholds the wounded stranger. What signs and characters meet his sight A miracle has been wrought The jewel star, the badge, and emblems of the tnbe- tiS Mazeppa, his lOft son I Mazeppa, at the head of his chosen followers, returns to Poland, wins his bribe by force of arms and the piece concludes midst conflagrations and rejoicings."

DE JONGH'S LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL, Prescribed by eminent Medical Men as the most. speedy and effectual remedy for CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, GOTJT, RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA, DIABETES. DISEASES OF THE SKIN, NEU RALGIA, RICKETS, INFANTILE WASTING, GENERAL DEBILITY, AND ALL SCROFULOUS AFFECTIONS, CONTAINS iodine, phosphate of lime, volatile c fatty acids—in short, all the most active and essential curative properties—in larger quantities than the Pale Oils manufactured in Great Britain and Newfoundland, mainly deprived of these by their mode of preparation. The well merited celebrity of Dr. de Jongh's Oil is attested by its extensive use in France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Italy, by numerousspontaneous testimonials from eminent mem bers of the faculty and scientific chemists of European reputation, and since its introduction into this country, by the marked confi- dence, as well as great success, with which it has been prescribed by medical practitioners. In many instances where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil have been taken with little or no benefit, it has produced most imme- diate relief, arrested disease, and restored health.
