Hatton Garden, London, hereby give Notice, that by an order of the High Court of Chancery, dated the 31st of January, 1846, and made by his Lordship, the master of the Rolls, in the above-named cause, it was ordered that a "perpetual injunction be awarded to restrain the defendant, his workmen, servants, and agents, Tom, in future, selling any mixture or liquid, in bottles, having Covers or labels, being copies, or fac-similes, or imitations, with colorable variations, of those used by A. Rowland and Sons, for the sale of their Macassar Oil, and from using any trade- marks of the same description as those used by the said A. Rowland Imll d Sons. And his Lordship did further order the said defendant James Penn, to pay to the said plaintiffs, A. Rowland and Sons, their costs of the said suit." Messrs. Rowland and Sons also adopted proceedings in Chancery against the Engraver and Printer of fraudulent labels Whereupon the defendant, on the 15th March last. delivered up to the plaintiffs all the Labels and Wrappers in his possession, Which professed to be fraudulent ImitatIons of the said plaintiffs' labels and wrapper, as also the blocks and plates from which the same are printed, tegether with the names and addresses of all and every person to whom he had sold the said fraudulent labels or wrappers. Messrs. Rowland and Sous, therefore, CAUTION all Per- sons against buying, or selling, or exposing for sale, prepara- tions contained in wrappers or labels, in imitation of, or with trade marks resembling those used by A. Rowland and Sons, as Proceedings will be adopted against all persons having the same In their possession, and full damages will be enforced against the/D.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Unprincipled Shopkeepers for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious compounds, under the same names some under the implied sanction ot royalty they copy the labels, bills, advertisements, and testimonials (substituting fictitious names and addresses for the real) of the original pre- parations and use either the word "genuine," or a feigned name, in the place of "ROWLAND'S" It is. therefore, highly necessary to see that the word ROWLAND'S" is on the wrapper of each article. All others are FRAUDULENT IMITATIONS. The genuine preparations are sold by the Proprietors, A. ROWLAND & SON, 20, Hatton Garden, London, and by Chemists and Perfumers. TITHE COMMISSION. NOTICE.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a work em- bracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the medical pro- fession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable i/opression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish, every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages.Age and Argus. "The authors of The Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly conver- sant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear. too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written. and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehen- sive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusaI.Era. This work should be read by all who value health and wish to enjoy ife, for the truisms therein contained defy all doubt." Farmer'* Journal. THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM, Is intended to relieve those persons, who, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, have ruined thei rconstitutions, or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state, are af- fected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its ap- proach. as the various affections of the nervous system, obsti- nate gleets, excesses, irregularity, obstructions of certain evacua- tions, weakness, total impotency, barrenness, &.e. This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken be- fore persons enter into the Matrimonial State, lest in the event of procreation occurring, the innocent offspring should bear en. stamped upon it the physical characters derivable rom parental debility.

THE CONCENTRATED DETERSIVE ESSENCE, An Anti-Syphiltic Remedy for searching out and purifying the diseased humours of the blood, and certain cure for scurvy, scrofnla, and all cutaneous eruptions, conveying its active prin. ciples throughout the body,even penetrating the minutest vessels, removing all eruptions, contaminations, and impurities, from the vital stream,-eradicating the morbid virus; and radically ex pelling it through the skin. Price lis., or four bottles in one for 33s., by which lis. is saved, also in jC5 cases, which saves £ 1 12s. Venereal Contamination, if not at first eradicated, will often remain secretly lurking in the system for years, and, although for a while undiscovered, at length break out upon the unhappy individual in its most dreadful forms; or else, unseen, internally endanger the very vital organs of existence. To those suffering from the consequences which this disease may have left behind in the form of Secondary Symptoms, Eruptions of the Skin, blotches on the head and face, ulcerations and enlargement of the throat, tonsils, and threatened destruction of the nose, palate, &c., nodes on the shin bones, or any of those painful affections, arising from the dangerous effects of the indiscriminate use of mercury, or the evils of an imperfectcure, the Concentrated De. tersive Essence will be found to be attended with the most as- tonishing effects, in checking the ravages of the disorder, remov- ing all Scorbutic Complaints, and effectually re-establishing the health of the constitution. To persons entering upon the iespon- sibilities of matrimony, and who ever had the misfortune during their more youthful days to be affected with any form of these diseases, a previous course of medicine is highly esfentia), and of the greatest importance, as more serious affectrons are visited upon the innocent wife and offspring, from a want of these simple precautions, than perhaps half the world is aware of; for, it must be remembered, where the fountain is polluted he streams that flow from it cannot be pure."

THE GENUINE HOWQUA'S MIXTURE OF 40 RARE BLACK TEAS, AND MOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER. BY fig& APPOINTMENT. PERHAPS there is no article of common consumption in Jt which the public taste is so refined, and so often disap- pointed, as in Tea. To indicate an article of undoubted and unvaried excellence, is, therefore, to confer a great public benefit. The above Teas have acquired an extraordinary celeb- rity, and are used by all connoisseurs, while their price brings them now within the reach of all. Messrs. BROCKSOPP, HOW, and Co., of i33 and 234, High street, Southwatk, London, have just received a fresh consignment from the last year's crop, which far excels, in strength and flavour, any pre- vious importations* from the Estates of Howqua and Mowqua. Messrs. B. and Co. respectfully hope that their standing in the tea market will be considered as the best guarantee for the su- periority of their articles, and as distinguishing them from puf- fing adventuiers of the day.

AN Additional and Important Evidence of the Salutary Effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, from Mr. Samuel Dixon, of Kingscliffe, Northamptonshiie. Kingscliffe, Northamptonshire, March 14, 1846. "To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London, SIR,—I feel it a duty which I owe to yourself and the public to inform you of the great benefit wh;ch I have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. During several years I was frequently laid up by attacks of goat, being unable to attend to business for months at a time. I had often been advised to try Blaii's Pills, but it was not until a friend pressed them upon me, that I was induced to take them, and from which I found speedy relief. This is several yeais ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack comes on, aud am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business. 1 am, sir, your obedient servant, "SAMUEL DIXON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affeids to the afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, and all and analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the important discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recommendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effective for gout and rheumatism in all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as the tooth-ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and inva- riably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part. Sold by T.

EXTRAORDINARY CURES ( BY .lift tXlhSS V v.' 'r'v c-i -'w* _J r; %'•• • ;> HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. A wonderful cure of dreadful Ulcerous Sores in thefnce and leg in Prince Edward Island. The truth of this statement was duly attested before a magistrate. I, Hugh Macdonald, of Lot 55, in King's County, do hereby declare, that a most wonderful preservation of my life has been effected by the use of Holloway's PiUs and Ointment; and I furthermore declare, that I was very much afflicted with Ulcerous Sores in my Face and Leg; so severe was my complaint, tkat the greater part of my nose and the roof of my mouth was eaten away, and my leg had three large ulcers on it, and that I applied to several medical gentlemen, who prescribed for me, but I found no relief. My strength was rapidly failing every day, and the malady on the increase, when I was induced to try Holloway's Medicines. After taking two or three boxes, I experienced so much relief, and found the progress of the disease was so much arrested, that I was enabled to resume my ordinary labours in the field. The sores, which were so disagreeable and repulsive to behold, are now nearly all healed. Having received such truly beneficial aid, I feel myself bound to express my gratitude to the person by whose means I have thus been restored from the pitiable and miserable state I was in and for the sake of humanity make known mv case, that others similarly situated might be relieved.. (Signed) HUGH MACDONALD. This declaration made before me, at Bav Fortune, the 3rd day of Sep- tember, 1845. JOSEPH COFFIN, Justice of the Peace. The above case of Hugh Macdonald, of Lot 55, came personally under my observation, and when he first applied to me to get some of the medicines, I thought his case utterly hopeless, and told him that his malady had got such hold that it was only throwing his money away to use them. He, however, persisted in trying them, and to my astonish- ment I find what he has aforesaid stated to be perfectly correct, and consider the case to be a most wonderful cure.

To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. Sir,-About four years ago my little girl caught the ringworm, and although* have, ever since, had advice from many doctors, and tried every means to get rid of it, yet I was unable to do so About three weeks ago I was induced to try some of your Pills and Ointment, and I am most happy to say the result has been a perfect cure.

Copy of a letter from Mr. Joseph Gildon, jun., a farmer, East Keal, near Spilsby, Lincolnshire, Sth April, 1846. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. Sir,-I have the gratification to announce to you a most wonderful cure wrought upon myself, by the use of your Ointment and Pills. I had a severe attack of Erysipelas, in my right foot, which extended along my ankle, and was attended with swelling and inflammation to an alarm- ing degree, insomuch that I was unable to move without the use of crutches. I consulted a very eminent physician, besides other medical men. but to no purpose. At last I tried your Ointment and Pills, when, strange to say, in less than two weeks the swelling and inflammation gradually subsided to such a degree, that I was enabled to pursue my daily avocation, to the utter surprise and amazement of those who were acquainted with my case, seeing that I was cured so quickly. I and my family are well known here as my father holds his farm under the Rev. J. Spenee, rector of our parish. (Signed) JOSEPH GILDON.

To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. think it but an act of justice to inform you that I have tried your Ointment in several old cases of Ulcerated Sore Legs, which, for a considerable time, had resisted every kind of treatment, but which were afterwards effectually cured by its use. In the treatment of Bad Breasts ] have also found your Ointment of the greatest service. Indeed, from my practical knowledge I conceive it to be a most invaluable remedy.

W, FOYLE & CO.'s Celebrated and Inimitable POLISHING POWDERS, PASTKS AND LIQUIDS. AMONGST the numerous and useful articles for domestic and other purposes manufactured by FOYLE & Co., who supply the Trade only, the following have received an extraordinary demand in London, which encourages the proprietOl sand sole manufacturers to continue their recommendation to families and the public. PATENT PALE LWUGE PLATE POWDER. This Powder, introduced by FOYLE Co., about four years since, is extensively used by silversmiths, in almost every nobleman's estab- lishment, and at all the club houses in London it will be found to pos- sess advantages over the Jeweller's Rouge, being half the expense, the labour considerably lessened, and the process much cleaner. If the directions be strictly adhered to, the Patent Rouge will be found as clean to use as common whitening.-S01d in two-ounce and quarter boxes, 6d. and Is. each. PATENT PERUVIAN WHITE PLATE POWDER. This superlative composition is warranted to be free from every in- gredient injurious to plated goods; it has stood the test of public opinion twenty years, and by its merits alone, been introduced into and is now used in the Royal Palaces in England and on the Continent. The Powder is of so impalpable a nature as never to scratch or hijure the most delicate article to which it n-.ay be applied, and is particularly re- commended to families who object to rouge to clean plate.-Sold in two- ounce and quarter-pound boxes, 6d. and Is. each. PATEM' FURNITURE VARNISH AND FRENCH POLISH RENOVATOR. This unparalleled and economical chemical compound was pro- duced after numerous experiments, and the manufacturers consider it impossible to excel, if equal, the composition in of usefulness; it restores to French polished articles which have become dull, their ori- ginal brilliancy, and a few applications on any kind of furniture pre- viously rubbed with oil, will give it the appearance of having been French polished. Dining tables, &c., after being polished with the composition, will only be slightly marked by the use of hot water plates, even if filled with bailing water and allowed to remain on a considerable time. A few drops of the compound rubbed lightly over the spots in- stantly restore the original lustre.—May be had in imperial quarter and half-pint botttes, price 6d. and Is. each. i PATENT MAGIC POLISHING PASTE, This inestimable abstergent preparation is free from all acids and everything that corrodes or injures; it gives with the greatest facility a splend d polish to all kinds of brass, copper, nickle, and German silver, Britannia metal, pewter and tin, &c., and is strongly recommended to sportsmen for the sponging out their guns, the barrels and nipples of which it protects from rust. The Magic Paste is patronised by the British army, to whom the annual average supply is two hundred and thirty-three thousand seven hundred and forty-eight quarter pound boxes.-Sold in quarter-pound boxes, 3d., half-pound ditto, 6d., and one pound ditto, Is. each. PATENT MAGIC POLISHING LIQUiD AND KITCHEN REQUISITE This incomparable composition cannot fail to be appreciated by every family, and all who give it a trial, as it supersedes the use of vitriol, oxalic acid, and other deleterious compounds, so generally employed to polish metals, &c. In the kitchen, and to the female domestic in par- ticular, this compound will be found invaluable; it is perfectly uninju- rious, and capable of instantaneously cleaning, without labour, brass, copper, and tin ware, bringing up a beautiful and permanent polish, impossible to be obtained by the ordinary mixtures of vitriol, oil and rotten stone, vinegar, &c. The Trade will find the Magic Liquid one of the best inventions of the day for expeditiously and highly polishing guards to shop fronts, and all brass works exposed to the weather; the compound is easily applied, requiring only to be rubbed on with a piece of flannel, and "afterwards finished with chamoise leather. Sold in imperial, quarter, and I half-pint bottles, price 6d. and Is. each.

The authors of this valuable work evidently well understand the sub- ject upon which they treat, and this is the best guarantee we can give those persons to whom it is likely to prove serviceable. It is a publica- tion which can, and ought to be placed in the hands of every young man, to guide him among the temptations of the world, to which he may be subjected.—Kentish, Mercury. THE CORDIAL BALM OF ZEYLANICA Or Nature's Grand Restorative. Is exclusively directed to the cure of nervous sexual debility, obstinate gleets, irregularity, weakness, impotency, barrenness, loss of appetite, indigestion, consumptive habits, and debilities arising from venereal excesses, &c. It is a most powerful and useful medicine in all cases of syphi;iis, constitutional weakness, or any other of the previous symptoms which indicate approaching dissolution, such as depression of the spirits, fits, headache, wanderings of the mind, vapours and melancholy, trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs, disordered nerves, obstinate coughs, shortness of breath, and inward wastings. The fine softening qualities of this Cordial Balm of Zeylaniea is peculiarly adapted to remove such symptoms, and gradually restore the complete system to a healthy state—even where Sterilitv seems to have fastened on the fem.ile constitution, this medicine will warm and purify the blood and fluid, invigorate the body, and remove every impediment. This medicine should be taken previous to persons entering into the matrimonial state, to prevent the ofispring suffering from the past im- prudonce of its parents, or inheriting any seeds of disease, which is too frequently the case.

Old and young, rich and poor, all acknow. ledge the great benefit they derive from taking them; many ladies and gentlemen of high standing in society, and numerous respectable families have adopted Parr's Life Pills as a family medicine; and thousands have given me full proof verbally of the cures which Parr's Life Pills have effected. I beg to hand you the following testimonial, and can vouch for its accuracy. I remain, gentlemen, yours obediently, GEORGE BATTERS. Communicated by Mr. G. BATTERS, from a gentleman resi- ding in the neighbourhood of Nottingham.

NASSAU SELTERS WASSER. Messrs. HETTS & Co. also avail themselves of the present most seasonable opportunity to diiect public attention to the peculiar salutary properties of the Sellers Water, respecting which many eminent physicians have expressed the riiost favourable opinions, deserving of serious and attentive consideration, The learned Monsieur Caventou, of Paris, makes some observations replete with interest and truth. We know of no miaeial water suited to such variety of constitutions. It exercises an especial action on the biliary system, Irequently and promptly checking the worst symptoms, whether connecteJ with vomiting or diairhaea." He concludes by recommending Sellers Water as one of the most salubrious drinks for warm climates, and ranges it in the fiist rank of antiscorbutics and preventions of dysen.ry. 1, hilst AI. Augustus Wetter, Physician of Berlin, the latest and most celebrated writer on Mineral Springs, states, Selters water is highly beneficial in cases of gastric irritation, bilious vomiting, or diarrhaea, and ought to be administered in small, but fie- quenily-repeated doses. In cases of dyspepsia, either from irritation or weak stomach, the continued useot Seiters Water is highly advantageous." Messrs. Betts & Co. cannot too strongly caution the public against the evils of artificial gaseous waters generally, since the L learned Monsieur Caventou informs us that they frequently produce so much inconvenience and danger as to cause its use to be replaced by th,lt of the natural, the lattei acting as a very antidote to the former." Numerous attempts having been made to impose upon the public by some manufacturers ot artificial waters and other mix- tures, by tdvertiting that they enjoy the privilege 01 receiving supplies of the natural Selters Water direct from the springs, Messrs. BETTS & Co. beg to state that they have the exclusive right of procuring the same diiect from the Springs, and, as evi- dence thereof, they publish the following Declaration of the Nassau Government, founded upon its solemn contract with Mr. J.

To meet a demand, greatly disproportionate to tile supply afforded by so limited an area, the Foreign Traders in the aiticle were notoriously in the habit of adulterating it with other Brandies, of an inferior quality and they, thereby, induced a great number of the Proprietors of the best Vineyards in that district, to establish a company, in the year 1838, under the name of The United Vineyard Proprietors' Company," for the purpose of counteracting the bansfu) effects of such fraudu- lent practices upon the character of Cognac Brandy, and of enabling the public to obtain through them the genuine nrtic!s. The reputation which the company now enjoys in the maiket, is the strongest proof of the fidelity with which they have hitherto effectuated the purposes for which they were formed.

CWM CELYN. [The yvriter of the following, who wishes to do good, has earnestly requested its insertion.] THE writer here, in much affection, sends Some kind remarks to his Cwm Celyn friends Should they my friendly hint receive, it may Advance man's interest in a future day A school room lies upon the rising ground, Where for the young, instruction may be found, Which unto millions may a blessing prove Leading to virtue, worth, and Christian love. What shall we say for those, their lives who pass (I mean too many of our labouring class) To stolid ignorance and vice a prey, Their nights to drinking given—to toil their day. These, if we look around, we may perceive, Passing in ignorant blindness to the grave The beer-house! vile seducer of their hours, Exhausts their strength—their spirits, too, it lowers. Could we not now an institution form, Where learning might become as great a charm ? Is it the absence of this purer joy, Which makes men in this way their time employ? Good reading-rooms and books I recommend, That men may usefully their evenings spend These lines to your reflection, I've addressed, And hope they'll find a place in each one's breast. Cwm Celyn, August, 1846. VERAX.
