G. & G. W. FOYLE & CO.'s Celebrated and Inimitable POLISHING POWDERS,. PASTES 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 proprietois and sole manufacturers to continue their recommendation to families and the public. PATENT PALE ROUGE PLATE POWDER. This Powder, introduced by FOYLE & Co., about four years since, is extensively uscd 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.—Sold in two-ounce and quarter boxes, Gd. 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 injure the most delicate article to which it may be applied, and is particularly re- commended to families who object to rouge to clean plate.—Sold in two- ounce and quarter-pound boxes, od. and Is. each. PATENT 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 paint 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 Trench 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 boiling 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. 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 splendid 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 he 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 cliamoise leather. Sold in imperial, quarter, and I half-pint bottles, price 6d. and Is. each. CAUTION.-Every article manufactured by FOYLE & Co. has their name and full address on their label; their Plate Powder is under cover, and scaled, also their Polishing Liquids, on the corks, which bear the names of G. and G. W. FOYLE & Co., IJ, Cowper-street, City-road, London. Extract from the Morning Post newspaper, May 20th, 1843 We beg to draw the attention of our readers to an advertisement in our first page, and recommend every family, and more especially those resident in the country, to possess a store of the various polishing compounds manufactured by FOYLE & Co.: they will be found articles of real uti- lity to every domestic, and their object is cleanliness, also file saving of time, labour, and expense."

It contains many valuable truths, and its porusal is certain to benefit him in many ways:— Lou/inn Mercantile Iournal. l 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 amonr.¡ the temptations of the world, to which he may be subjected—Kentish Mercury. THE CORDIAL BALM OF ZEYLANICA Or Noture's Grand Restorative. Is exclusively directed to the cure of nervous sexual debility, syphilis, 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 syphillis, 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 Zeylanica is peculiarly adapted to remove such s).mptoms, and gradually restore the complete system to a healthy state-even where Sterility seems to have fastened on the female 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- prudonec of its parents, or inheriting any seeds of disease, which is too frequently the case. Sold in bottles, price 4s. Gd. and lis. each, or the quantity of four in one family bottle, for 33s., by which one Ils, bottle is saved. The £5. cases (the purchasing of which will be a saving of one pound twelve shillings) may be had as usual. Patients in the country wÍio require a course of this admirable medicine, should send five pounds by letter, which will entitle them to the ull benefit of such advantage. BRODIE'S PURIFYING VEGETABLE PILLS Are universally acknowledged to be the best and surest remedv for the ■cure of the enereal Disease in both sexes, including Gonnorrhcea, Gleets, Secondary Symptoms, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, Deficiency, and all diseases ot the Urinary Passages, without loss of time, confine- ment, or hindrance from business. Thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, and by unskilfulness, the use of that deadly poison mercury, ruin the constitution, and cause ulcerations, blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness of sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, nodes on the shin bones, ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts an period to their dreadful sufferings.

BETTS & Co. also avail themselves of the present most seasonable opportunity to direct public attention to the peculiar salutary properties of the Selters Water, respecting which many eminent physicians have expressed Ihe most 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 mineral water suited to sucn variety of constitutions. It exercises an especial action on the binary system, frequently and promptly checking the worst symptoms, whether connected with vomiting ordiarrhsea." He concludes by recommending Selters Water as one of the most salubrious drinks for warm climates, and ranges it in the first rank of antiscorbutic's and preventions of dysentry. Whilst i" U^UJ,US el^er' 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 diarrhea, and ought to be administered in small, but fre- quently-repeated doses. In cases of dyspepsia, either from irritation or weak stomach, the continued use of Selters Water is highly advantageous." Messrs. Betts ic Co. cannot too strongly caution the public against the evils of artificial gaseous waters generally, since the learned Monsieur Caventou informs us that they frequently produce so much inconvenience and danger as to cause its use to be replaced by that of the natural, the latter acting as a very antidoje to the iormer." Numerous attempts having been made to impose upon the public by some manufacturers of artificial waters and other mix- tures, by advertising that they enjoy the privilege of receiving supplies ot the natural Selters Water direct from the springs, Messrs. DETTS & Co. beg to state that they have the exclusive right of procuring the same direct from the Springs, and, as evi- dence thereof, they publish the following Declaration of the T nt' 'ounded upon its solemn contract with Mr. J. 1 BETTS. R DIRECTION OF THE DOMAINS OF HIS HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF NASSAU, DECLARE, by these presents, that, being desirous to prevent and put a stop to the numerous falsifications committed in respect to the Waters of Selters, and to secure, for the future, to the Kingdom of Great i>ntain, its Colonies, and Dependencies, the enjoymentof the genuine Water of that Spring, they have resolved, from the 1st of January 184a to use the Metallic Capsules of Mr. John J homas Betts, ot London.

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 ixapression 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 perusa1.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 r constitutions, 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, &,c. 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.

To peisons 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 hiehly essential, and of the greatest importance, as more serious aflections 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."

IPRESERVATION OF THE POTATOE-CROP.
I PRESERVATION OF THE POTATOE-CROP. I At the present moment any practical suggestion for saving 1 what may remain of the late potatoe-crop is extremely valuable, and we therefore particulaily direct attention to the remarks, at the Broomfield Horticultural Meeting, of the Hon. R. H. Clire, who acting upon the best information, recommended that, gene- raily speaking, the crop should be left in the ground until it is wanted. This view of the subject receives striking corroboration froai a communication which has fallen under our notice in the Lant-.aster Gazette of Saturday last. The writer, a potatoe plan 'er, uys- Let the stalks be pulled up one by one, at the same time treadling upon the furrow as you proceed, which will prevent the re lots from being disturbed, and let them lie in the ground until you want them. If you wBnt to preserve them from the frost, plough more soil upon the furrow, and let them lie for wint« r. As it hat already been proved by many that potatoes last w inter, when the disease was raging, were best preserved in the grt und, I think this plan will not be altogether unavailing. As an experiment, last year I put some potatoes into a room over a hie-place, which of course was very close and warm, and inthetourse of a few weeks they were all bad, being sound to all appi tarance when put there. At the same time I laid some of the si une kind in the ground, which when taken up some time afterwai ds were found to be very little worse. Some have mowed the tops off, which we all must be aware will still leave the disease in the bottom of the stalk, and be of no service to the preseirration of the root." In the Devises Independent we are told that the following plan was tried with success last season Tlhe haulm was removed from the ground before the disease had communicated to the tubers, not by cutting it, but by pul- ling it away from the roots; the land was then pressed down firmly, and afterwards earthed up in ridges, to preserve the po- tatoes Irom the rain, till they were dug at the usual period of the year. One half of the land was treated in this manner, and the crop wis saved on the remainder it was aimost entirely lost." Swede turnips have been recommended as a good substitute for pot aioes; we think, however, that coarse wheaten, barley, or rye-lbread, or oaten cakes, would be infinitely better than such watery and innutritious aliment.

ARAB PnovERBs.- When you are the anvil, have patience; when you are the hammer, strike straight and well. He who cannot take a hint will not comprehend a long explanation. The mother of the murdered man may sleep but the mother of the murderer cannot. 1 like the head of a dog better than the tail of a lion.

We have been frequently asked to explain the difference be- tween the price of wheat per quarter and per barrel. The sim- ple rule by which every man can ascertain this for himself is tllis :-Multiply the price per quarter by 7, and divide by 12 I the raeult will give the amoant per barrel. Thus, 56s. per quarter, multiplied by 7, and divided by 12, gives 32. 8d. per barrel.

A CARD.
A CARD. Mr. Benjamin Disraeli begs leave to inform the nobility, gen- try, and ultra-conservative public in general, that he attends protectionist parties, and has a large collection of speeches of every description always ready, together with a set of sarcasms, which he undertakes shall be carefully delivered either in town or country. jj*B. D'l. feels justified in assuming to himself the title of the tJNLY POLITICAL IMPROVISA-TORY for having, dniing several years, given his attention to the impromptu line, he has on hand a very large assortment of retorts and replies, suited to every occasion. Though he keeps a large quantity ready made, they are warmed up so rapidly after a pro- cess peculiar to the advertiser, that he feels justified in announcing them as absolute novelties. B. D'l. has no objection to enter into a contract to supply protectionist oratory by the single dinner, or he will go oul to, evening meetings at a great reduction, on an arrangement Leing made for the entire session. Ministers worried by the day, night, week, month, or year, and protectionist peers waited upon at their own houses. The following testimonials are humbly submitted to the public No. 1. I can recommend the advertiser as a willing and attentive person. I have generally found him desirous of makicg himself useful. I think if he got a place he would do his utmost to keep it. Richmond." No.2. "The bearer, Benjamin Disraeli, is a very amusing person, and I can give him a character for being a capital waiter at Pro- tectionist dinners. His great anxiety is to get into some regular situation, and I have no doubt he might be made very service- able, if the duties were not onerous. G. Bentinck." No. 3. "Though I do not much like this person, I think there can be no objection to his attendance at a protectionist dinner-party for I know at all events, from my own experience, that he can tell a good story. R. PEEL." No. 4. A very nice young man for a very small party.—Punch."
A QUEER CONSECRATION.
A QUEER CONSECRATION. The 13th Light Infantry have received a present of some new colours from that distinguished veteran. Prince Albert. The ceremony of presentation took place on Southaea Common. la the report of it, as contained in the Times, we read that- The Prince dismounted, and entered the hollow square, IC- companied by General Pakenham, Sir Charles Ogle and Staff, and stood uncovered while the Itey. J. R. Gleig, Chaplain- General to the Forces, consecrated the colours." Consecrated the colours Is the Rev. Mr, Gleig a priest of Mars ? Colours are strange things to be consecrated by a clergy- man. Why not consecrate muskets as well t Why not pronounce a benediction over gunpowder, over cartridges, shots, shells, howitzers, and congreve rockeis ? Why not give a canonical sanction to cannon I Is it felt that this would be going too far, -would be too palpable an assoc ation of Christianity with carnage, —terms, that in spite of alliteration, will not harmonise Now, it strikes us, that there is a species of consecration which would be much more suitable to the emblems of slaughter than the clerical. Have any of our readers witnessed the performance of Der Freischutz ? If so, perhaps they will anticipate our suggestion. Iu the incantation scene, having invoked Zamiel, and in the name of the demon mixed his lead and sundries of sorcery in the bullet ladle,—"And now," says Caspar, "for the blessing of the balls." Tke benison recited on this occasion by our friend Caspar would, to our thinking, be the best adep,ed to the flag of battle. Give a certain personage his due. We are not told that the service performed by the Chaplain to the Forces was followed by a ser- mon. Perhaps it was. If so, could his homily have been the Sermon on the Moun t ?-Pun(lh.

Another arrival of West India Pices has taken place at the port of Liverpool, consisting of 16,200 plants. There is not a single prisoner in any place of confinement in Lynn. Thirty-six yearr ago there was a like vacuity of gaols in that borough. A curious freak of nature was discovered a few davs since whilst digging potatoes in a garden at Ryeford, near Stroud. One potatoe had grown in the centre of the bowl of a tobacco pipe. The bowl had been burst by the growth of its vegetable prisoner, but the potatoe was firmly fixed in the remains of the broken pipe. It was remarkable too, that these two potatoes weta sound, whilst nearly all the others in the patch were badly diaesaed.
