THIS-RETREAT for MENTAL INVALIDS is Tpleasantly situated near the Bay of Swansea, in a secluded Vale, sheltered by wooded mountains and re- freshed by sea breezes.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL From Mr. Owen Thomas, Wesleyan Minister, Holyhead, Oct. 9, 1815. Dear Sir,-Dr. Locock's Wafers do a great deal of good to mv voice. I got a bad cold from a damp bed thirty-five years ago, and my voice was very bad ever since; being great pain to me when preaching and singing-ami I am very fond of sinin". I used many different medicines and some of them do good for a little ilme. but Dr. Locock s is the best of all-it clears my voice and stops the coughm, lllstautly. I have never found anything yet to compare with them. I have been thirty-three years a Wesleyan preacher, and all the Wesleyan Methodists in the Principality know me, twenty years of which I have lived in and I am known personally to all the first men of that body, many ot whom have admired the eirecti of the wafers 111 clearing the voice, and stopping the cough; they never got such a medi- cine before. 1\Iy wife, ever sir.ce Christmas, has been very well, after taking two boxes. I am a witness 01 their power to stop a frightful fit of coughing in an instant. I as a Wesleyan preacher, call upon all preachers and singers of every denomination, to take these M aters for im- UproviknSg w the voice and curing Coughs I ou may publish my =ial 10, the excellent ?'V?,fcrs, if I oil ,isli.

A T this peculiar season of festivity and mirth, when friends -1 *■ and lovers assemble at the social board, or wlnrl m the giddy mazes of the dance, both sexes are more than usually desirous of shining in personal attraction, and devote a greater share of attention to the toilet. It is, at this particular sea- son, that the virtues and siugularly happy properties of those auxiliaries of Personal Beauty, ROWLANDS' UNIQUE PREPARATIONS shine pre-eminent in their power: while the rich luxuiiant tress, the white and swan-like neck, and the pearly set ot teeth, form admirable trophies of their inestimable qualities o^• The august patronage conceded by our Gracious Queen, the Royal Family, and the several Sovereigns and Courts ot Europe, together with their general use by the Aristocracy and "HautTon;" and the confirmation, by experience, of the infallible efficacy of these creative renovating Specifics, have characterised them with perfection, and given them a celebrity unparalleled. They have proved the theme of the poet they are celebrated in the periodical literature of the whole civilised world; the lays ot' Byron, and the voice of the universal press, have proclaimed the incomparable vir- tues of the Oil Macassar," and of its accompanying prepa- rations. As presents for both sexes, none can be more re- commendatory, or more now In general use. A few words on the merits of these admired specifics will doubtless be appreciated in the present instance. ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL Is a delightfully fragrant and transparent preparation for the Hair, and as an invigorator and beautifier is beyond all pre- cedent.

IMPORTANT TESTTMOXIAL. Copy of a Letter from "Colonel liawker," (the well- known Author on Guns and Shooting.") Longparish House, near Whitchurch, Hants, October 21st, 1816. Sir,—I cannot resist informing you of the extraor- dinary effect that I have experienced by taking only a few of your Lozenges. I had a cough for several weeks, that defied all that had been prescribed for me and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only ones that relieve the cough without deranging the sto- mach or digestive organs. I am, Sir, your humble servant, P. HAWKER. To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Church Yard, London. PROFESSIONAL TESTIMONIAL OF THEIR MERIT. From Mr. Murlcy, late a Practioner in Cheltenham. Iluntley, Gloucestershire, 3rd Nov. 1848. Dear Keating—It affords me much pleasure to learn that the sale of your Cough Lozenges is so extensive. Being acquainted with their composition, I am fully persuaded of their efficacy for promoting gentle ex pecto- ration, and allaying pulmonary irritation. In cases of Catarrhal disorder, it is most desirable to combine a class of medicim which may calm without the deleterious effects of opium, and this desideratum is, I believe, effected by the ingredients in your Cough Lozenges. I well remember the very high opinion which a late emi- nent Surgeon of one of our London Hospitals had of this preparation he frequently told me that it was the only medicine which afforded relief to his wife, who had suffered for many years from Asthma. If you consider the testimony of a retired Practitioner (after thirty-six years of extensive practice) of any ad- vantage, you are quite welcome to avail yourself of this recommendation. With best wishes, Believe me, dear Keating, faithfully yours, T 1\1 J S. H. MUKLEY. To Mr. Keating, St. Paul's Church Yard. N.B.—To prevent spurious imitations, please to ob- serve that the words Keating's Cough Lozenges" are engraven on the Government Stamp of each box. CL^LEI-}RATED THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE.

I FINANCIAL REFORM.—GRE AT…
I FINANCIAL REFORM.—GRE AT MEETING IN MANCHESTER. On Wednesday evening a monster meeting of Liberal electors and others was held in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester. It was calculated that from 6,000 to 7,0JO persons were present. Mr. George Wilson, chairman of the Anti-Corn Law League, presided. He congratulated the meeting as proving by its numbers that whatever changes had taken place abroad, however old institutions had crum- bled to pieces, and new ones had risen on their ruins, at all events there was no change or re-action or revo- lution among the Liberal electors of Manchester. He bespoke their co-operation in favour of no ill-advised scheme, of no immature project, of nothing which should involve violent changes or changes to be accomplished by violent means. Their aim was to collect into one focus the mass of floating opinion in the district, to give It force and direction, and concentrate it, for a time at least, upon the practical objects of economical and finan- cial reform. In the United Kingdom there was no class of men more in favour of the best institutions of the country, none more interested in supporting order at home and peace abroad, than the industrious and mer- cantile community of that district, but they reserved to themselves the right of expressing their opinions freely on all the great subjects affecting the public interest. It was for such a meeting to stand by Mr. Cobden in promoting financial reform. Ten millions was no slight amount in this money-loving country, and that amount he proposed to make flow back into the pockets of the people, instead of passing through the fingers of the tax-gatherers. (Cheers.) Mr. Cobden, who was received with much enthusiasm, proposed the first resolution That this meeting resolves to co-operate with the Liverpool Reform Asso- ciation and other similar bodies in their efforts to reduce the public expenditure to at least the standard of 1335, and to secure a more equitable and economical system of taxation." They had formerly been charged with being the farmers' enemies, now they appeared in another character, as the farmer's friends. They had subjected the agriculturists of this country to compe- tition with the foreigners the farmers complained that they were more heavily taxed than the foreigners, and they now came forward to offer them the right hand of fellowship and union, to effect a reduction of £10,000,000 in the cost of our Government. (Cheers.) In 1835 the affairs of the Government were carried on for f 10,000.000 less than they were this year, and in the letter he had published he ventured to propose that they should go back to that expenditure. He had waited three weeks before he had an opportunity of saying a word in defence of his views, to see what would be said against their recommendation, and he confessed he had not much to answer. It was said that the population had increased since 1839 our numbers were twelve-and-a-half per cent. more than in that year, and it was but fair to allow a larger sum for the government of the greater number. So far as civil government was concerned, lie admitted the argument he 'allowed forty per cent. more for civil government than was expended in 1835; but then, he said, that thirteen years of additional peace was no valid argument for any increase in our forces. (Cheers.) In 1831 we spent CII,600,000 for army, navy, and ordnance he proposed that they should not expend more than EIO,000,000, and he would take the remaining £ 1,600,000 from the expenditure for warlike purposes, and add it to the civil expenditure of 1835. Then it was said that both last year and the year before there was a deficiency of revenue we spent more than we received, and borrowed money, and there- fore, even if his plan were carried out, there would not be £10,000,000 to dispose of in remission of taxes. His answer was this—if the revenue had fallen off, it was because the balance-sheets of the merchants and manu- factures had fallen off likewise but now, with food at a moderate price, and trade reviving, they would see the revenue increased, and this year or the next they were certain to have a surplus revenue as surely as there was a deficiency last year. Give him the expenditure again of 1835, and he would guarantee the remission of £10,000,000 taxation. Where was the difficulty of re- turning to that standard ? The whole question depended on the.amount of our warlike armaments. The question was, would the Government be content to waste Lio,ooo,ooO on an unproductive service like our fighting establishments in time of peace ? If not, why not ? He had the Government on the defensive. He asked them whetherlthey made the most of the money they had got ? How did they dispose of that money ? They had 150 admirals, besides 50 retired admirals. How many did they employ when they had 1.000 pennants flying during the heat of the French War ? They never employed more than thirty-six admirals at one time, and with all their ingenuity they could onlv now find active service for fourteen admirals. So in the arm y there was a colonel for every regiment who did the work, and tney had another colonel to every regiment who never saw it, but who supplied clothes and got the profits of a tailor. (A laugh.) He would not lend himself to the delusion of those who told them that by economy in the dock- yards they might effect a saving, but there must be no reduction of force. He told them plainly from the outset that in order to effect such a reduction of expen- diture as wouM afford a material relief, and would be felt in the homes and firesides of the people of this country, they must reduce the number of men-they must be content with a smaller manifestation of brute force in the eyes of the world. He contended that there was nothing even in the aspect of affairs on the con- tinent of Europe to justify us in keeping up such large armaments. It was the interest of France to preserve peace on the Continent. The mass of the people in that country were favourable to peace and adverse to war. Besides, we had this additional guarantee, that if any government or population on the Continent chose to carry on a war of conquest, it would weakell rather than strengthen their position but suppose that some of the continental states should attack their neighbours, was that any reason why we should be armed to take part in the struggle ? We must leave other people to manage their own affairs. He promised one thing-he would never cease the advocacy of this question till he saw the cost of our armies reduced to £10000000 until he saw the expenditure of the country reduced to what it was in 1825 at least. He did not say he would stop there. That was the least they intended to do, and it was something worth the struggle but he repeated he would not step there, and he sincerely believed that with their assistance, and the growing tendency for peace throughout the world, they would not long con- tinue to witness the horrid waste of JE10,000,000 on a fighting establishment in time of peace but they would live to see the day when one-half of that sum would be considered enough nor did lie think that the time would be long in arriving. (Cheers.) Mr. Henry, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Milner Gibson, M.P., proposed the second reso- lution—" That no permanent reduction of taxes could be effected until the people obtained a more direct control over the House of Commons by an extension of the system of electoral rcprescrtation. The hon. gentlemrn entered into an explanation of his own con- duct in respect to his late connexion with the present Government, and stated his reason for resigning his office, and that he preferred the confluence of his constituents to the favours of any Government lie repudiated the notion that there was any reaction on the subject of free trade, and urged its extension to other articles of commerce as well as corn. Adverting to the condition of the Irish Church, he gave it as his opinion that there never would be peace in that country until it was pulled down, and its funds applied to tile general purposes of the community. The resolution was seconded by Mr. W. Ilawson, and carried unanimously. Mr. John Bright, M.P., moved the third resolution, to the effect that the meeting approved of the course adopted by the Anti-Corn Law League in the extension of the 40s. freeholders, and their system of watching the register, also authorising the chairman of the meet- ing to take steps for the formation of an association to secure the objects of this meeting. He observed that the justification for that meeting was to be found in the fclct that JEG 1,000,000 of taxes were annually squandered by a Government which did not represent the views of the people, from whom that enormous amount was extracted. He urged the infusion of more democratic blood into the House of Commons. The resolution, which Mr. A. Kay seconded, was carried nem. con. Thanks having he en otect to the geiitlemt-n who addressed the meeting, and to the chairman, the pro- ceedings terminated at near midnight, when the vast assemblage quietly separated.
THE RETRENCHMENT CRUSADE.—MR.…
THE RETRENCHMENT CRUSADE.—MR. COB- DEN AT MANCHESTER. [From the Atlas.] The whole question," says lIIr. Cobden, depends upon the amount of our warlike armaments." To this single issue the argument in favour of public retrench- ment has been reduced. Ten millions of expenditure saved—one moiety of the tea duty remitted-the taxes upon malt and hops, upon timber, butter, cheese, paper, and house-windows altogether aiiiiiiiilated-conitnerce re-invigorated, and the farmer reimbursed for any pos- sible loss from the abolition of protective duties; such are some only of the benefits we may obtain by the sim- ple process of remodelling the armed forces of the country according to the minimum standard of 1835. And to bring this issue to a practical decision Mr. Cobden declares his determination to take the bull by the horns," and when the time comes for voting the number of men for the army, navy, and ordnance ser- vices, to take the sense of the house upon the propo- sition for reducing the 196,068 men at present enlisted, to the 135,743 which stood upon the muster roll four- teen years since. Throughout the long and telling speech addressed to the crowded meeting assembled in the Free Trade Hall at Manchester, the orator confined himself strictly to a recapitulation of the arguments by which this reduction of force could be proved expedient and safe. The in- crease he stated to have arisen from the repeated accessions made to various branches of the service upon special occasions of difficulty, and which have never been followed by corresponding diminutions when the necessity passed away. The demand for military power, he argued, was no higher now than it was then. The colonies required no greater defences. The questions that agitated the public mind at home or abroad in- volved no more serious chances of war. Even the revolutionary flame that had spread so fiercely through- out Europe, and had called armies into the field on every side, had evinced no aggressive tendencies On the contrary, it was no less manifest that the demo- cratic element was eminently pacific, than that policy of conquest and "annexation" produced nothing but national poverty and weakness. In thus enforcing his principle Mr. Cobden has even understated his case. He might have argued that the maintenance of a large military force docs not diminish the probabilities of war. The rupture of peace is due to influences upon which the possession of a few regi- ments or ships, more or less, is absolutely inoperative. And he might have added that when the rupture takes place no possible amount of military strength which the country could support will suffice to carry us through the conflict. If taken at the highest standard, the num- ber of men we could dispose upon any given point would be too many (or an embassy, and too few for an army." To provide for the contingency of any nation of Europe becoming mad enough to unchain its popu- lation and hurl them in armed masses against England, the enlistment of every second able-bodied man in the country would be insufficient. For any of the ordinary dangers of hostility a military "nucleus" is all that is immediately necessary; and this nucleus it appears possible to create, by dexterous management, with very limited numbers, but almost infinite capabilities of ex- pansion. The army, in short, should be administered like the Bank. The legislature is bound to provide a metallic I reserve" against periods of panic; but it must at the same time take care that the country does not suffer greater injury from the weight of its precautions than from the dangers they are designed to avert. The member for the West Riding has, however, omitted to follow out his proposed measure into all its consequences. Granted that the reduction he suggests were at orce adopted, and ten millions economised in the national expenditure. The first result would be that 60,000 soldiers and sailors, together with perhaps twice as many more who furnish supplies and accoutre- ments for these, would be at once thrown upon the labour market. The men who use and the men who provide muskets and gunpowder would have to seek other employments Are there any to be found? While so large a number of able and willing hands remain locked in the forced idleness of the union workhouses, the answer to this question must be more than doubtful. Yet, unless a satisfactory solution of this difficulty can be discovered, the disbanding of so many thousand men would occasion nothing but a dislocation of industries, for which no compensatory adjustment is in readiness. We do not forget the per contra-that the remission of the burdens upon trade will encourage its development and gradually absorb the surplus industry cast adrift from the ranks, or even something more. But this pro- cess requires time to complete. For the moment the consequences of reduction would appear in considerable distress and eiiibarrasnient. And though we do not adduce this result as a demur to Alr. Cobden's proposi- tion, we yet think that it constitutes an element in the question which ought not to be overlooked, and fur- nishes a proof that the advantages even of economy are not altogether undiluted. But one thing at a time" is a safe maxim. The Financial Reform agitation is yet in its infancy, and the struggle it will have for existence and victory promises to be long. Before the" legislative mind" has become ripe for an affirmative vote, there will be time enough to discuss the question in all its bearings, and to dis- cover the most fitting means for attaining the great end in view, as well as to provide remedies for the incidental evils it may involve.
—*-— THE - MINISTRY.I
—— THE MINISTRY. [From the Times.'] The ministerial arrangements consequent upon the death of Lord Auckland are now completed, and Sir Francis Thornhill Baring has accepted the office of First Lord of the Admiralty. By this appointment the Crown and the country acquire the services of an ex- perience(I Alinister-o f a man perfectly conversant with the details of public, business, and peculiarly fitted by his experience in a financial office, under a former go- vernment, to promote all such reductions in the expen- diture of the navy as are consistent with the efficiency of that most important branch of the service. The negociations which have ended in this appointment have been somewhat pn 'racted by a laudable attempt on the part of Lord John Russell to strengthen his administration by offering the department of the Ad- miralty to Sir James Graham. The offer was made in a spirit of frankness and good feeling, with a sincere desire to bury in oblivion all past differences which may have interrupted the harmony of men now hold- ing the same opinions, and which are prejudicial to the permanent interests of the country, On the part of Sir James Graham the offer was received with a perfect acknowledgment of the public iiiotix-es which had suggested the proposal, although for some consi- deration he declined to accept it. Had that offer been accepted it would naturally have led to some further modifications of the Cabinet, with a view to extend the basis of the Government, but under the existing circumstances we believe no further changes are likely to ocur. It has been the custom to throw a veil, which his- tory itself has not always removed, over those abor- tive combinations which usually precede any impor- tant change in the distribution of public offices; but in the present instance, the transaction between the government and Sir James Graham is so creditable to both parties, that we rejoice it has transpired. It is a renewal on the pii-t of Lord John Russell of those ) liberal dispositions towards his former opponents which led him to offer places in his Cabinet to Lord Lincoln and Mr. Sidney Herbert on the formation of the go- vernment, and which subsequently conferred upon Lord Dalhousie the most magnificent appointment which can be held by a subject of any Crown. We record the fact with the more pleasure, inasmuch as it rebuts the charge of domestic influence and family connection sometimes urged to excess against the Whig government. It is the misfortune of the Whigs, as well as their strength and their glory, that long ad- herence to the same political traditions has gradually welded their leading houses into near family connection but Lord John Russell has not neglected any oppor- tunity which has been afforded him, to show that, in choosing his colleagues, he looked beyond his relations. We feel the more called upon to make this observation, inasmuch as we were led to protest with—what has turned out to have bpen-unnecessary promptitude against the return of Lord Minto to the Admiralty. No such appointment was contemplated by the Govern- ment, and Lord Minto himself had at once declared not only that he put forward no claim whatever to the office which he had formerly filled at the Adiiiiralty, but that he held his present office of the Privy Seal entirely at the disposal of the Prime Minister, if it could be the means of facilitating the projected arrangement with the remnant of -,lie moderate Conservative party. We mention these circumstances not because they are of any great weight or importance in themselves, but because they convey correct impressions of the share taken by several eminent persons in these arrangements which are creditable to themselves and to the country.

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. FOREIGN OFFICE, JAN. 19.-The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint John Bowring, Esq., to be her Majesty's Consul, in the city and district of Canton, in the province of Iiwantung.—Gazette of last night. Her Majesty's letters patent have passed the great seal of Ireland, appointing Arthur James, Earl of Fingal, to be Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the county of Meath. in the room of Edward, Baron Dunsanv, deceased. The present Baron Auckland, (the earldom being extinct) will be the first Bishop of Sodor and Man who has ever sat in the Peers. Mr. Anthony Blake, one of the earliest Roman Ca- tholics who was made a privy councillor after the pass- ing of the emancipation act, died on Wednesday, in his 63rd year. The new French postage-stamps closely resemble the- English, as the republic is symbolised by a female head, and they are of similar size and colour. On Wednesday the new Consolidated Metropolitan Commission of Sewers was formally opened at Greek- street, Soho Earl Carlisle in the chair. A vessel which has just arrived in the Lindon docks from Canton, has brought 128 tons weight of copper ore, as a portion of her cargo. Sir David Brewster has been elected one of the eight foreign associate members of the National Institute of France, vacant by the death of the celebrated chemist, M. Berzelius.
