TO THE ELECTORS OF THB COUNTY…
TO THE ELECTORS OF THB COUNTY OF CARMARTHEN. GENTLEMEN, As it appears likely that Parliament will now very shortly be dissolved, I think it right to state to you that it is my intention, whenever that event occurs-again to offer my services to you as one of your Represen- tatives in the House of Commons. I much regret that I was unable, owing to my absence from England during the last year, to do more than give one vote in support of those given by my worthy Colleague, against the measures proposed by the Government of Sir R. Peel, in respect to the importation of corn, which I still ifear to be fraught with great danger, not only to the Agricultural interest, but also in their consequences to the well being of the commercial body which was so eager for their adoption. I am sorry I shall be unable to visit many of you in person; but relying on the support I hate received from you on so many former oc- casions, on account, as I believe, of the public principles I have acted upon, I trust I may look forward with con- fidence to the result of the coming Election, assuring you as I do that I shall continue to act upon those prin- ciples if I have again the honor to be chosen by you as one of your Representatives. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient and obliged servant, GEO. RICE TREVOR. I Dyttevor Castle, July 15th, 1847.
TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY…
TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARMARTHEN. GENTLEMEN, The indication of an early dissolution of the present Parliament is daily becoming manifest. I therefore consider it my duty to address you, and to state that, en- couraged by the recollection of. the cordial support that I experienced on my coming forward to represent you in compliance with the invitation I then received, it is my intention again to offer myself as a candidate for the gratifying distinction of being one of your members in the new Parliament. During the period that I Jueve had the honor of a seat in the House of Commons, measures of vast importance affecting great national interests, have been introduced, and are become the law of the land. The part that I took on these questions was regulated by a sincere desire to adhere to the principles that obtained for me your confidence, and to follow the course, which, to the best of my judgment, appeared most conducive to the welfare of the nation at large. With regard to the future-I am sensible that, in consequence of the present state of party in the country I incur a greatly increased degree of individual respoill sibility. Should I be so fortunate as to be again chosen your representative in parliament, I shall, in that event, be directed by the motives I have already avowed, and steadily shall keep in view the landmad.s of our constitution, which has, under the blessing of God, conferred many and signal benefits on this counfly and people. These principles, with a vigilant attention to your local interest., and to measures calculated to improve the condition of our own country (to which I have not, I hope, been hitherto deficient in giving my humble support,) will be the rule of my future conduct, should I you think me again deserving of the important trust which shortly must be surrendered to you. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, With great regard and esteem, Your faithfÙl and obliged servant, D. SA UNDERS DA VIES. I Pentre, July 15th, 1847.
TO THE -INDEPENDENT ELECTORS…
TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF PEMBROKE. GENTLEMEN, I The Dissolution of Parliament now about to take place, will restore to your hands the trust, which, six years ago you did me the honour to conjide to me; and the time is approaching when you will have to select a Representative. I venture, therefore, to solicit a renewal of the confidence which you so handsomely reposed in me on a former occasion, and to express my hone, that you will, by sending me a second time to the House of Com- mons, mark your approval of my conduct, and your conviction, that I have consistently carried out by my votes, the general principles by which I declared in 1841 I would be governed, and which then met with I-W almost unanimous concurrence. Measures of the greatest importance affecting the Agricultural Interests have been discussed and disposed -of, in Parliament, during the period in which I have had the honour of a seat in the House oj Commons and J trust that the votes which I gave on those questions, met with your approbation. The responsibility which must always attach to a due performance of the duties of a Representative, is not lessened by the present state of political affairs; but should I be again honoured with your conifdence, it will be my earnest desire to support such measures as may best tend to promote our domestic prosperity, and to develope the resources of the Empire at large. In the hope that I have faithfully discharged my Parliamentary duties, I venture to appeal to you for a continuance of your support, and can assure you, that there is no honour I value so highly, as having your public and local interests confided to my care. ( I have the honour to be, Gentlemm, Your obedient faithful Servant, EMLYN. Stackpole Court, July 17th, 1847.
TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY,…
TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS, AND OTHERS, ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARDIGAN. GENTLEMEN, .An early Dissolution of the present Parliament being generally expected, I again take leave to solicit your suffrages for my re-election as your Repre- sentative. This distinguished honor having been confided to me for more than Thirty years renders unnecessary a declaration of the principles which animate me in 8 eek ing its continuance. Though recent events have dissevered parties and given rise to conflicting opinions with reference to our domestic policy, be assured of my continued firm attach- ment to the Monarchy and Protestant Institutions of the country, with a great anxiety to promote the just interests of every class of our fellow subjects, and to encourage and aid in effecting your local improvements and prosperity. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, W. E. POWELL. 7, Hyde Park Terrace, July 12th, 1847.

HOWARD and THOMAS continue to supply the Losr, of Teeth without springs or wires upon their new system of SELF-ADHESION, which has procured them such uni- versal approbation, and is re ommended by numerous Physicians and Surgeons as being the most ingenious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining stumps without causing the least pain, rendering the painful operation of extracting quite unnecessary. Thev are so fixed as to fasten ofextractiiig where the gums have shrunk from the use of calomel or other causes. They also beg to invite those not liking to undergo any painful operation, as nractlsed by most members of the profession, to inspect tfieir painless yet elective system and in order that their improvements may be within'the reach of the most economical, they will con- tinue the same moderate charges. Messrs. HOWARD and THOMAS, Surgeon Den- tists, 64, Berners-sirert, Oxford-street, London. At home from ten till four. Their new method of fixing Artificial Teeth has obtained the approbation and recommendation of the foilo-ving eminent Physicians and Surgeons :—Sir James Clark, BaTt. Physician to her Majesty; Dr. Locock, Physician Accoucheur to her Majesty; Sir B. C. Brodie, Bart., Serg. Surgeon to her Majesty; the late Sir A. Coouer, Bart., Serg. Surgeon to her Majesty; Sir David Davies, Physician to her Majesty, the Queen Dowager; Dr. Merriman, Phy-ician to her It H. the Duchess of Kent; Dr. Chambers, and numerous other Mem- bel's of the Medical Profession. CAUTION.—Unprinoijted individuals prepare th" most spurious compounds uncnr the same names they copy the labels, bills, advertisements and testimonials of the original Thomas's Succedaneum. It is therefore highly necessary to see that the words "Howard & Thomas are on the wrap- per of each article. jp* All others are fraudulent imitations. 1 • -ASTONISHING EFFICACY OF HOLLOW AY'S OINTMENT. A WONDERFUL CrRF: OF DREADFUL ULCEROUS SORES IX THE FACE AXD LEG, IX PRINCE EDWARD ISLAXD. The Truth of tl/is Statement was duly attested before a Magistrate.  HUGH MACDONALD, of Lot 5.5, in King's I > County, do hereby declare that a most wonderful preservation of my life has been effected by the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment; and I furthermore de- clare, that I was very much afflicted with Ulcerous Sores in my Face and Leg so severe was my complaint, that the greater part of my nose and the roof of my mouth was eaten away, and my leg had three 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 in- crease, when I was induced to try Holloway's Medicines. After taking two or three boxes, I experienced so iiiueb 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 disagree- able and repulsive to behold are now nearly all healed. Having received such truly beneficial aid, I feel myself bound to express rny 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 my case, that others similarly situatea might be relieved. (Signed) HUGH MACDOXALD. This declaration made before me, at Bay Fortune, the 81 day of September, 184.). JOSKPH COFFIN, Justice of the Peace. The above case of Hugh Macdonald, of Lot 55, came personally under my observation and when he first ap- plied 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 awav to use them. He, however, persisted in trying them, and to my astonishment I find what he has aforesaid stated to be perfectly correct, and consider the case to be a most wonderful cure. (Signed) WM.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. The royal mail steamer Caledonia, arrived at Liver- pool on Wednesday morning, bringing 105 passengers; she met the Britannia (packet of the 4th July) on the 16th inst. The news by this arrival is not of especial importance. The following summary, drawn up from the New York papers, comprises all the news Since the sailing of the steamer of the 1st no marked change has occurred in the prospects of the war. There is, however, something less of confidence than then pre- vailed of the speedy return of peace, and the country seems again to have settled down in the conviction that the war must be indefinitely continued. General Scott has been compelled to halt at Puebla, where, at the latest dates, he was awaiting the arrival of reinforce- ments. His original intention had been to march upon the capital by the 10th of June, with whatever force might at that time be under his command. He felt confident in his ability to capture and hold the city even with 6000 men and this trust was based not more upon the tried valour of his troops, than upon the state of parties known to exist among the Mexicans themselves. Since he has been in Mexico, General Scott has been in close and constant communication with some of the leading men of the republic, and the result was the for- mation of a party decidedly favourable to peace. The war party was in confusion, caused chiefly by the down- fall of Santa Anna as a popular favourite. The procla- mation of General Scott, in which this chieftain was very bitterly and severely assailed, is said to have caused a re-action in his favour, and to have infused a new spirit of determined opposition into the war party, of which he was accounted the head. These transac- tions induced General Scott to halt at Puebla, and to wait there the arrival of reinforcements known to be on their way. One detachment of 1500 men, under General Cadwallader, fell in with a very large body of guerrilla troops about thirty miles beyond Jalapa, and killed thirty of them without loss on his own part. General Pillow, with another detachment of 1800 troops, left Vera Cruz on the 18th ult., and on the 23rd met and routed another guerilla corps. General Taylor still remains, without the ability to move, at his camp near Monterey. The most recent advices state that he expects reinforcements within a short time, with which he can advance to San Luis Potosi and threaten the capital from that quarter. The Washington Union announces that the government intend to place, as soon as possible, 20,000 men at the disposal of Gen. Scott, and 10,000 under Taylor; but when it is remembered that precisely the same thing was promised before the 1st of July, the fulfilment of the engagement becomes somewhat doubtful. Upon the whole, the prospect either of peace or of a prompt and effective prosecution of hostilities is not encouraging. Mr. Trist was sent to Mexico with power to conclude an armistice, should the government consent; but General Scott very promptly put a veto upon this attempt .to override and virtually supersede him, by refusing to recognise any such action. The attempt has since been abandoned, and the negotiation transferred to the general himself. The business of the country continues to be flourishing, healthy, and promising. From all parts of the country the grain harvests promise unprecedented abundance. In the more southern of the wheat-growing states the grain has been already gathered, and the crop proves to be more than an average and in no one section of the union is there any apprehension of a deficiency. CANADA.—The most distressing accounts of the spread of disease, attributable to the unprecedented j immigration, fill the Canada journals. The Montreal board of health made a report on the 5th inst., relative to the condition of the sick immigrants at the sheds in the vicinity of the city, from which we copy the fol- lowing —" Dr. M'Culloch reported that he had this day visited the immigrant sheds and hospitals, and found the sick too much crowded, in a manner calculated to prevent their recovery, and endanger the lives of all necessary attendants. He found in one apartment of little more than twenty feet square, thirty-three women dangerously ill of fever. In the extremity of another building, about twenty feet by fifty feet, he found 350 children, including many infants of but a few months old, suffering and dying, he regretted to say, for wan t of food and clothing. He also reported that mortality it increasing in the immigrant hospital, no less than fifty- four having died there in the twenty-four hours ending Sunday afternoon." FRANCE.—On Friday the Court of Peers was occupied for five hours with the trial of M. Pellapra, the associate of General Cubieres in corrupting M. Teste. The pro- ceedings were not particularly interesting. The revelations made in the course ot the previous hials had ■ told the whole story of the corruption in the Gouhenans affair, and as M. Pellapra was not likely to make any more disclosures (though supposed to be able to make many, if so inclined), the public took very little interest in his fate. M. PeIlapra admitted that he Was the per- son who paid over the money to M. Teste. The sum was* 100,000 francs, which was all paid in Bank of France notes. M. Delangle, the procureur-general, called upon the court to make a severe example of a man who, after having accumulated E800,000 in the public service, still continued to add to his ill-gained wealth by corruping the servants of the crown. The court decided that the punishment of M. Pellapra should be the same as that of General Cubieres and M. Parmentier—namely, civil degradation, a fine of 10,000 francs, and a share of the expense of process. In the course of an hour after the termination of the trial, the fine, &c., was paid, and M. Pellapra was set at liberty. EXPLOSION IN A FRENCH DOCKYARD.—A despatch has been received from the Maritime Prefect of Roche- fort, announcing that on the 21st, at twenty minutes before twelve o'clock, the buildings of the workshop and storehouse of the artifices (rockets, cartridges, &c.), at the extremity of the arsenal, from which they were separated by a canal, were destroyed by an explosion. According to the' lists sent into the prefect, there were in the workshop, at the moment of the explosion, 1 maitre artificier, 5 civil labourers, 13 naval gunners, 1 soldier of the 2nd company of marine artillery, 1 dis- tributor, and 1 clerk-total 32. Two of the gunners, one of the civil workmen, the artillery workman, the distributor, and the clerk were spared. Thirteen dead bodies were conveyed to the hospital, and three wounded persons, of whom one died an hour afterwards. The fire that followed the explosion was got under in three hours. The loss is limited to the workshop and the storehouse, and their immediate vicinity. The explo- sion is attributed to imprudence. SPAIN.-Our accounts from Madrid are of the 19th. The queen had left the capital, and the king had entered it, but they did not meet, and there is nothing like a reconciliation. The queen is even said to have given orders that the king should not be allowed to occupy apartments in the palace during her absence. ABANDONMENT OF THE BLOCKADE OF OPORTO.- The Queen of Portugal has issued a decree on this subject, in which she states:—"The motives having ceased for which the Bar of the river Douro was declared in a state of blockade, under decree of the 20th of October last; I am pleased to cause it to be published, that the town of Oporto is open to navigation, as it was previously to that decree, as also all other ports in the river Douro." DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS IN THE CAUCASUS.— Accounts, under Aate of the 13th inst., have been received from St. Petersburg relative to the proceedings in the Caucasus. The discomfiture of the Russians, -it may be properly enough concluded, has been greater than was represented, the vigilant jealousy of the Rnssian government stifling, as far as possible, all intelligence of disasters to the Muscovite arms in Circassia. The present accounts report the failure of the storming of the fortified village of Gengebil, in Daghestan, on the part of the Russians. Count Woronzow himself led the attack, which consisted of ten battalions of infantry, several divisions of dragoons, Cossacks, and militia. The commanding generals under him were Count Angutinske Dolgorwiki, Count Belutow Kotzebue, &c. The attack was made after lengthened preparations, and after several breaches had been made on the previous day. On the morning of the 16th June two columns, one under the command of I Orbeliam, penetrated simultaneously into the village, but at length, though supported by the reserve, were driven back by the Murides, and were compelled to retreat into the camp, whither the second column, com- manded by Col. Jeudokimow, was also commanded to retire without having been able to penetrate even as far as the first column. The encounter is described as sanguinary in the extreme. The mountaineers per- mitted the Russian troops to come close to the walls before they opened their fire, and when the latter had forced their way into the interior of the village, they found unlooked for obstacles; for example, lodgements concealed in the earth, from which a deadly fire was discharged, fortified caverns, dwellings which were covered with sham roofs, and which gave waf beneath the besiegers, who clambered upon them andlifelI upon the swords of the Murides. The obstinate defence of the mountaineers convinced Count Woronzow that the place can only be taken by the irresistible force of artillery, and he has, therefore, for the present, given up any further attack upon Gengebil. There fell in the fight of the 16th June, two majors, six superior officers, and 463 privates. GARDENERS' CHRONICLE FOR THE ELECTION GUIDE TO CAIDIDATFS.-Now set your canvassers in promising situations, and plant addresses on dead walls. Rake up historical knowledge, sow wild oats, and cut disreputable acquaintances. Put your voters in the sun as much as possible, but avoid watering-their grog. Dig tradesmen familiarly in the ribs, and transplant shillings into their children's pockets. About this time of year many sharp breezes may be expected, and the dust will have to be laid down considerably.— Liverpool Lion.
I -. - .. IRELAND. - -_.
IRELAND. Tile ttepeal Association met on Monday. 1 he num- bers in attendance were very great. Mr. Collett, late M.P. for Athlone, was present. Capt. Broderick pre- sided. The proceedings were not very animated, and there were no new accessions of any importance. The rent was upwards of £60. An account has been received of one of the most shocking cases of wholesale ejectment of tenantry that we have ever had the pain of recording. The scene of this outrage upon humanity was near Charleville, in the county of Cork. On the 13th of July, according to the statement, and in the village called Glen," on the estate of the Earl of Cork, ejectments were executed by the sub-sheriff of Cork, aided by the military and police force, on forty-eight tenants. Their houses or cabins were thrown down, and the forty-eight families, num- bering about four hundred human beings, vilt-re turned out upon the high road. Of these it is alleged that more than one hundred were suffering from fever. They were obliged to take refuge in a neighbouring churchyard. The churchyard of Ballysallv, we are told, contains many flat tombstones and grass-covered graves and amongst those graves the ejected familifs slept for four consecutive nights, huddled together. The details of their misery are truly heart-rending. One poor woman was taken off her bed four days after her con- finement, and placed by the side of the ditch with her infant, both in a state of helpless exhaustion. Another woman had a family of seven, all suffering from fever. In a third family there were ten persons in fever at the time of the ejectment. By degrees these miserable people found shelter, some in the neighbouring houses not yet thrown down, others in temporary huts erected i against the churchyard wall. Accounts have reached the Poor-law Commissioners, from their inspectors and other officers in the country, giving the most favourable accounts of the crops of all kinds. In regard to the potatoes, those accounts state that the great bulk of the crop is totally unaffected by disease and very fine in quality, and that many fields supposed to have been blighted are now sound and flourishing. Altogether, the prospects of the harvest are quite cheering. The corn and provision markets are still declining with a decided downward tendency. In various counties Poor-law Guardians are resigning, in order to have themselves elected as relieving officers under the new act, the salary having been fixed at a minimum of £ 30, and a maximum of 1:60 per annum. One board of Guardians in the county of Clare appointed no less than twenty-nine relieving officers, six being the average number for a union The commissioners will have to look sharp, or dreadful abuses will prevail under the new and extended system.

SERIOUS CASE OF POISONING A SHIP'S CREW.— On Saturday a very frightful occurrence took place on board the Achilles, of Newcastle, lying at Gloucester. On the previous day a new cook, a black, had been re- ceived on board, who on Saturday proceeded to make soup for dinner. Most unhappily and most reprehensi- bly a jar of arsenic had been left in the lazaret, and the cook, mistaking this for flour, used a handful of it to thicken the soup, of which, when prepared, the cook himself, the mate, the carpenter, the captain's child, and a nurse girl partook. A custom-house officer on board tasted the soup, but not liking it, refused it. The other five were speedily taken alarmingly ill, and were brought in a deplorable state, first to the shop of Mr. Price, druggist, Southgate-street, and afterwards to the Infirmary. The nurse and child, we believe, were soon placed out of danger by the prompt and energetic reme- dies applied, but the three seamen were for some time considered in extreme danger. However, even these were so far recovered on Monday as to be able to go on board and take their departure with their ship HONOUR AND RICHES.-It has been discovered that Sir Harry Smith, the chivalrous conqueror of Aliwal, on whom honours have been showered with not too lavish hand, is denied substantial" rewards for his services, and remains comparatively a poor man. Sir Harry has won his position by his sword; he has not spent his time in the pursuit of wealth, but of victory and honor and if victory and honour are his without wealth, the e&d only answers to the means. But it is remembered 'that he cannot support the dignity of his station" without that wealth which is the essential attribute of rank. What a bitter sarcasm on the feeling of the English people, and most especially on those classes j which claim to be the most cultivated and refined! In this matter we are far behind other people and other times which we undertake to look down upon. In no country that has attained to a high pitch of intellectual cultivation do personal worth and genius so totally fail the possessor in surmounting the distinctions of society. The lion of a day, indeed, be he military or literary, is sought to grace the reunions of the distinguished" classes; but he is tolerated rather than companioned by his hosts. In spirit he is still sent, like Parson Adams, into the kitchen. The great- est professors of the most lovely of arts are treated as hirelings on a footing with waiters. If an audacious and spoiled man of genius is so far made to forget the distinction as to play the familiar with his lordly com- panions, they good-naturedly remember that, whereas their ancestors kept fools, they themselves now invite authors to dine with them. The country has to pay for this barbaric spirit in two ways—in the social de- gradation which it entails and in the necessity of find- ing fortunes for those very eminent personages whom it is in conscience bound to honour. Nor is the blame for this rude state of feeling imputable only to one class those which most seem to be the victims must share the censure. It is not caused solely by the vulgarity and ignorance of "the great," who cannot believe in dignity or merit without at least four figures in the cipher representing a mans annual income, but also in the servility of the professional classes, who are always trying to be taken not for themselves, but for the rich and fashionable. The result is, that as a com- munity the English people are incapacitated from duly honouring such a man as Sir Harry Smith until they have made him rich. What a confession !—Spectator. WATER A SUBSTITUTE FOR OIL IN MACHINERY.— —Mr. Briggs, of New Jersey, has made some experi- ments to test the application of water as a substitute for oil in relieving machinery of fricton. The experi- ments have been highly successful. Water has been used instead of oil upon the axle of a locomotive, and after running at a high speed for fifteen mHes, the axle was without any perceptible degree of heat. The water is applied to the axle by means of a sm all wheel with buckets enclosed within the box that confines the end of the axle.-Boston Advertiser. U.S. THE WOOD WILL-CAUSE SETTLED AT LAST In the House of Lords on Wednesday last Lord Lyndhurst gave judgment in the Appeal of the Corporation of Gloucester against a decision of Vice-chancellor Wi- gram, who held that a claim nude on their part to two sums of EIIO,000 and £ 60,000 under a codicil to the will of the late James Wood, Esq., of that city, was untenable. Lord Lyndhurst, who sat for the Lord Chancellor, confirmed the judgment of the court below, in which decision Lords Brougham and Campbell fully concurred. The appeal was therefore dismissed without costs.—At a meeting of the Corporation on the following day the question of the expenses was discussed, and it appeared that, exclusive of prior proceedings in the Prerogative Court, these would amount to about E8700. Of this sum, the Town-clerk had received from the borough fuqds in part payments, £ 6605, and he had also received E105 from the late Mr. Counsel, one of the legatees under the codicil, as a contribution towards the expenses which the Corporation had been put to in prosecuting the suit. Altogether about £ 2000 more would be required.—The Corporation, it transpired, had an offer of 1:25,000 in settlement of their claims of 1:200,000, but this was at the time rejected. FLESH EATING AND VEGETABLE EATING.—To consider man anatomically, he is decidedly a vegetable eating animal. He is constructed like no flesh-eating animal, but like all vegetable-eating animals. He has not teeth and claws like the lion, the tiger, or the cat, but his teeth are short and smooth, like those of the horse, the cow, and the fruit-eating animals and his hand is evidently intended to pluck the fruit, not to seize and rend his fellow-animals. What animal does man most resemble in every respect ? The ape tribes: frugiverous animals. Doves and sheep by being fed on animal food (and they may be, as has been fully proved), will come to refuse their -natural food: thus has it been with man. On the contrary, even cats may be brought up to live on vegetable food so that they will not touch any sort of flesh, and yet be quite vigorous and sleek. Such cats will kill their natural prey, just as other cats, but will refuse them as food. Man is naturally a vegetable eating animal: how then could he possibly be injured by abstinence from flesh r A man by way of experiment was made to live entirely on animal food after having persevered ten days, symptoms of incipient putrefaction began to manifest themselves: Dr. Lambe of London has lived for the last thirty years on a diet of vegetable food. He com- menced when he was about 50 years of age, so he is now about 80 rather more, I believe, and is still healthv and vigorous. The writer of the Oriental Annyal men- tions that the Hindoos among whom he travelled were so free from any tendency to inflammation that he has seen cases of compound fracture of the skull among them, yet the patient to be at his work, as if nothing ailed him, at the end of three days. How different is it with our flesh-eating porter-swilling London brewers a scratch is almost death to them.-Flowers and Fruits, by J. E. Duncan. A PRIVILEGE REPUDIATED!—In the reign ofEdward the First the town of Ross, Herefordshire, sent members to parliament, but the privilege was relinquished upon petition of the inhabitants, and has never since been resumed. Probably the electors had to pay their repre- sentatives for their services, and heuee determined to I do without them.

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLEVNCY.—The act passed on Thursday week on the law of bankruptcy and insol- vency will take effect from the 15th of Sept., on which day the Court of Review will cease to exist. By this act the insolvency business now transacted in the Court of Bankruptcy will be transferred to the Insolvent Debtors' Court, which last-mentioned court from the day named will possess two systems of insolvency. The act contains 21 provisions. On the abolition of the Court of Review its jurisdiction will be given to one of the Vice-Chancellors, as the Lord Chancellor shall appoint, with the officers now acting in the court. In addition to the act (1 and 2 Victoria, c. 110) now possessed by the Insolvent Debtors' Court, the act 5 and 6 Victoria, c. 116, An act for the relief of insolvent debtors the act 7 and 8 Victoria, c. 96, An act to amend the laws of insolvency, bankruptcy, and execution and the act 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 127, An act for better se- curing the payment of small debts," with all rules and orders, will be transferred to that court, which court will from the 15th of September possess a jurisdiction of 32 miles under the three acts, and in districts beyond that distance the judges of the County Courts are to exercise jurisdiction under the recited acts. The circuits of the Insolvent Debtors' Court arc abolished. By the 12th section the fees to be received in the In- solvent Debtors' Court are to go in reduction of com- pensation allowances now paid to the officers of that court on account of the diminution of the business. There is a provision authorizing the Lord Chancellor to give directions for the Court of Bankruptcy to sit elsewhere than in London, the object of which provision is to allow the Court to sit in the country when cases at some distance (its jurisdiction extending to 100 miles) should occur. With the exception of a provision added on the third reading, to prevent judges of the County Courts from being members of Parliament, the others are of a somewhat formal character to carry the act into operation. The Insolvent Debtors' Court, by sitting daily, will be able to dispose of the cases, and thereby prevent the necessity of holding two separate courts for public examinations. By one court, uni- formity of practice would be preserved, and public justice properly administered. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO BURN A WHOLE FAMILY. —One of the most cold-blooded attempts to destroy a whole fatniiy that has probably ever been made, was tried on Wednesday morning, and there is no doubt, if it had not been for the providential discovery that was made, every person in the house would have been burned to death. It appears that a waterman, named Maxwell, with his wife and family, reside in Love-lane, Kother- hithe. The family retired to bed on Tuesday,-but a little after twelve Maxwell was aroused from his slurabers by a strange noise in the lower part of the building. He went half way down stairs, and smelt fire very strongly. He returned and informed his wife that he thought the house was wrapped in flames, at the same time telling her to get up and arouse the otheT inmates, whilst be went below to ascertain if what he imagined was correct or not. The moment Maxwell got to the foot of the stairs he was met by a young man, who, armed with a heavy hatchet, struck him on the back of the head with such violence as to knock him down, after which he in- flicted another blow on the head of the poor man. The family, hearing the man fall, ran down to learn the cause, and the villain, seeing the people mo\Lng, rushed through one of the back doors, and succeeded in effecting his escape. In the confusion of the moment the resi- dents forgot that their first cause of alarm was the out- break of fire, and it was not until a dense body of smoke issued from one of the lower rooms that they became aware that the place had been fired. When they en- tered the apartment in question they found that a bottle of spirits of turpentine had been set on fire in the cup- board, and that the flames were extending. By the timely assistance afforded, the fire was happily soon put out. Everything that humanity or surgical skill can devise has been done for Mr. Maxwell, but he lies in a very precarious state. A LESSON TO OUR GAME PRESERVERS.—Neither license nor certificate is required in Sweden to carry a gun, and no qualification is necessary; every person has the right to kill game on his own land, or on that of another by permission, and to dispose of the same, at the period of the year prescribed by law. In principle, therefore, the Swedish game laws are equitable, and, in my opinion, just what laws ought to be. They form, however, a striking and favourable contrast to those which exist in England upon the subject; ours indeed are only intended for the benefit of one class of society and are as I believe it is now generally admitted, no little disgrace to our statute book. The sentiments of many of the first men of Sweden on the subject of the game-laws differ very materially from those usually entertained on the like subject by our aristocracy. This may be inferred from the following speech made by Baron Springporten, a nobleman holding the first office under the crown, in regard to the woods and forests, as president of a society recently established in that kingdom for the encouragement of the science of natural history, as well as the better protection of the birds and beasts of the forest. He says, Our object cannot be to assist in the revival of the ancient game- laws, which are hostile to the spirit of the age, and which, by a system of exclusion, rendered sporting a monopoly in the hands of the higher classes of society." It is a pity that our aristocrats do not follow, and succumb with good grace to what will otherwise be inevitably wrested from them at no very distant day. These are not times to trifle with the feelings of the people.-Field Sports of the A'o;-ih of Europe.

Indeed, if there be any loss that more particularly affects the countenance than another, it is that of the 'Teeth which the Dentist, however, ingenious, must ever vainly hope satisfactorily to replace by artifi- cial contrivance. The Decay of the Teeth and Gums arises from various causes but principally, it may be attributed to early neglect, ill health, or the use of Tooth Powders containing mineral substances and deleterious acids, which give temporary whiteness to the Teeth, while they corrode the enamel. To this fact, indeed, is principaljy to be attributed the long Botanical Research, which was happily terminated by the most felicitous dis- covery ever given to the world for the Preservation nf the Teeth, trums anol Breathy viz. —Rowland's Odonto, or Pearl lktitifrice. Prepared from Oriental Herbs with, unusual care, and transmitted to this country at great expence, Rowland's Odonto is no less distinguished for its powerfully efficacious, antidotal, and purifying vir- tues, in immediately arresting caries, or decay in the Teeth, thun for its stimulative properties in fixing them (when loose) firmly in their sockets, and in giving a healthy redness and firmness to the Gums. Its collective properties arc in particular most pleasingly disp!n,y*"d in respect to the Breatlito which it imparts a sweetness and fragrance not a little gratifying to its possessor. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic cleanser of the Mouth, Teeth, and Gums ever known, Rowland's Odonto has now for a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the Toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe, while the general de- mand for it at once announces the favor in which it is held bv the public at large. It should never be forgot- ten, that when used early in life it effectually prcveuts all aches in the Teeth and Gums—effaces Spots and Dis- CQloration-eradicates Scurvy—and, in a word, soon realize's the chief attribute of Health and HPHuty-" beautiful set of teeth —Price 2s. 9d. per box.
