YOUR PATENT BRANDY is fully as free from every- thing injurious to health, AND CONTAINS AS PURE A SPIRIT AS THE BEST VARIETIES OF FOREIGN BRANDY. I remain, Sir, your most obedient Servant, EDWARD TURNER, Professor of Chemistry in the University of London. 0THIS IS THE ONLY BRANDY /?\??/\ ENGLAND PROTECTED BY THE IN ENGLAND PROTECTED BT THE PATENT?- PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES \?*??N?( AV THUS EMBOSSED WITH THE   TCX? ?

A severe Case of Rheumatism, communicated by Mr. Allen, Proprietor of the" Nottingham Mercury." Mercury Office, Nottingham, March 17, 1845. SIR,-I have the pleasure of forwarding you the par- ticulars of a case in which BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS have proved eminently suc- cessful. A young woman, named Mary Wain, accompanied by her parents, who reside at Watnall, near this town, called upon me on Saturday last, being desirous of making her case known for the benefit of the public. It appears that Mary Wain had for some years past been a great sufferer from Rheumatism, but that in October last she was more than ordinarily afflicted, so much so that her father fetched her from her place of service, in order that she might have the attention of her mother at home at that time-to make use of the mother's description, she could not lift her hand to her mouth, or her foot the height of sixpence from the floor." Having heard of Blair's Pills, the father purchased a box at my shop about the second week in October; the Pills ?ook immediate effect, for I am assured by the parenTs and the girl herself, that on the following day she "Qi'ld not only lift her hand up to feed herself, but sh,- t also move about on crutches. Since that time she had five more boxes of the Pills, and, if I may judge from appearances, is as well as she ever was in her life, and has been so for some months past. I am, Sir, yours truly, To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand. RICHARD ALLEN. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed of every rheumatic or gouty affection; in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom, but con- tains many grateful evidences of its benign influence. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London; price Is. 1d., and 2s. 9d. per box and by his appointment by Mr. J. W.

To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. Sir,—I beg to inform you that the inhabitants of this Island, especially those who cannot afford to employ medical gentlemen, are very anxious of having your astonishing Medicines within their reach, from the im- mense benefits some of them have derived from their use, as they have been found here, in several cases, to cure Sores and Ulcers of the most malignant and des- perate kind. One gentleman in this Island, who had, I believe, about fifty running ulcers about his legs, arms, and body, who had tried all other Medicines before the arrival of yours, but all of which did him no good but yours cured him in about six weeks, and he is now, by their means alone, quite restored to health and vigour. (Signed) JOHN MARTIN. PILES, FISTULAS, AND BEARINGS-DOWN. A remarkable Cure by these Pills and Ointment.—A half-pay lieutenant, lately residing at St. Helicrs, Jersey, whose name by request is omitted, had for three years suffered from piles an d fistula, besides a general bearing down, of the most distressing nature. He had twice undergone an operation, but to no purpose, and at last gave himself up to despair. Yet, notwithstanding this complication of complaints, together with a debilitated constitution, he was completely cured of all his infir- mities and restored to the full enjoyment of health by these justly renowned medicines, when every other means had failed. Extraordinary Cure in the West Indies, of Leprosy and other direful skin diseases. June 3rd, 1841. Mr. Lewis Reedon, of Georgetown, Demerara, written under the above date—that Holloway s Pills and Oint- ment have cured bad legs that no doctor could manage- ulcers and sores that were of the most dreadful descrip- tion, as likewise leprosy, blotches, scales and other skin diseases of the most frightful nature, and that the cures effected there by these wonderful medicines are so nume- rous and extraordinary as to astonish the whole population. Cancercd Breast.— A Wonderful Circumstance. Copy of a Letter from Richard Bull, Bootmaker, Tatton, near Southampton. "February 9th, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,-The Lord has permitted to be wrought a wonderful cure of Cancers or Abscesses, of twelve years' standing, in my wife's breast. In the latter part of the time, eleven wounds were open at once. The Faculty declared the case as past cure, several pieces of bone had come away, and I expectedthtt my poor wife would soon have been taken from me. It was then that a friend recommended the use of your Pills and Ointment, which to our utter astonishment, in the space of about three months, healed up the breast as soundly as ever it was in her life. I shall ever remain Your most grateful and obedient servant, (Signed) "RICHARD BULL." Wheezing on the Chest and Shortness of Breath. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Jeremiah Casey, No. 1, Compton-placc, C'ompton-slreet, Brunswick-square, London, April 2oth, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,-I beg to inform you that I believe I had been for more than three years, one of the greatest sufferers in the world with Chronic Asthma. For weeks together my breath was frequently so short that I was afraid every moment of being choked with phlegm. I never went into a bed very often, indeed, I have been obliged to pass the night without being able to recline sufficiently to lay my head on a table, lest I should be suffocated. No one thought I should live over the winter, nor did I expect it myself; but I am happy to say that I am now able to work from morning to night, and that I sleep as well as ever I did in my life and this miracle (I may say) was effected by rubbing your invaluable Ointment twice a day into my chest, and taking ten of your Pills at bed-time, and ten again in the morning, for about three months. (Signed) JEREMIAH CASEY. In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and Ulcers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers, Tumours. Swellings, Gout, Ria- matism, and Lumbago, likewise in cases of Piles; Holloway's Pills, in all the above cases, ought to be used with the Ointment; as by this means cures will be effected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require by using the Ointment alone, The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Moschettoes, Sand-flies, Chiego-foot, Yaws, and Coco-bay and all skin Diseases, common to the East and West Indies, and other tropical climes. Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the use of the Ointment.

Patronised by Her Majesty" The Queen," and the Royal Fattiily of Great Britain, as well as the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe. "UIE importance of possessing A FINE SET OF J. TEETH is universally acknowledged by all who attach the due value to Personal Advantages and the blessings of health. A regular, firm and pearly row of teeth ever insures favourable impressions, while the n- dispensable agencies which they fulfil in respect to the functions of health demand our utmost care and atten- tion in their preservation. Disorders of the Teeth, however slightly regarded, are inevitably attended with evils which affect the whole system. Whatever renders mastication painful or im- perfect, not only lessens our relish and enjoyment of food, but also prevents that perfect comminution and mixture of it with the saliva which is indispensable to perfect digestion, and hence arise an endless train of diseases of the stomach, while at the same time the body is deprived of its wonted nourishment, and the whole system languishes in a state of discomfort and disease. Perhaps among all the disagreeable consequences that follow fast the decay of the teeth-an impure breath must be the most mortifying to its possessor, as it is the most generally offensive in society. The Decay of the Teeth arises from various causes; but, principally, it may be attributed to early neglect, ill heaith, or the use of Tooth Powders containing mineral and other deleterious acids, which give a momentary whiteness to the teeth, while they corrode the enamel The extreme prevalence of this last cause is too well known to need comment. To this hot, indeed, is prin- cipally to be attributed the long Botanical Research, which has happily terminated by the most felicitous dis- covery ever given to the world for the Preservation of the Teeth, Gums, and Breath, viz.— ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE. A White Powder for the Teeth, compounded of the Choicest and most Recherche Ingredients of the Oriental Herbal the leading requisites of cleanliness and efficacy being present in the highest possible degree. It extir- pates all tartarous adhesions to the Teeth, and ensures a Pearl-like Whiteness to the enamelled surface. Its Anti-Septic and Anti-Scorbutic Properties exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence; they arrest the further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and colour indicative of perfect soundness, while, by confirming their adhesion to the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh zest to appetite, by perpetuating effective and complete mastication the Breath also, from the salubrious and disinfecting quali- of the Odonto attains a sweetness and fragrance truly grateful to its possessor. It speedily removes those ravages which children sus- tain in their Teeth, owing to improper use of sweet and acid articles, which imperceptibly destroy them. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic purifier of the Breath, Teeth, & Gums ever known, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has now for a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the louets or tne Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is universally held Price 2s. 9d. per box.

REVIEWS OF TIIE WORK. The author of this singular and talented work is a legally qualified medical man, who has evidentlv had considerable experience in the treatment of the various disorders, arising from the follies and frailties of early indiscretion. The Engravings are an invaluable addition, by demonstrating tha consequences of excesses, which must act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal, many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no appeal, even to the most confidential friend."—IRON TIMES. "This is deci-ledly the most scientific and yet most intelligible work of the kind, we have ever yet perused; and the engravings and explanations which accompany it, present a moral and highly instructive lesson, by delineating the evil efi'ects of youthful folly and excess. The subject is altogether treated in a very superior manner, AND THE AUTHOU BEING A LEGALLY QU VLIFIIJD MEDICAL IAN, we recommend his work to public notice with the utmost confidence."—RAILWAY BELL. Unquestionably this is a most extraordinary and skilful work, and ought to be extensively circulated; for it is quite evident that there are peculiar habits acquired at public schools and private seminaries, which are totally unknown and concealed from the conductors of those establishments. and which cannot be too strongly reprobated and condemn- ed. The engravings that accompany the work are clear and explanatory; and being written by a duly qalified medical practitioner, will doubUessbe the means of saving many a youth, as well as those of maturer age, from the vari'OUS evil consequences resulting from indiscretions. -MAGNET.

I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. Sir Robert Peel has sent a donation of JE25 to the Belfast Flax Improvement Society. Sir Robert Peel has procured a Civil List pension for the widow of the late Mr. J. C. Loudon, herself an authoress of merit. There has been for some time a notion prevalent in well informed circles, that Sir Robert Peel meditates a retirement from public life at the close of the present session, leaving the reversion of his high office to Lord John Russell.—Standard. The Earl of Derby, we understand, fully intends to leave Knowlsley shortly after the Easter recess for town, the object the Noble Earl has for coming to the metro- polis being to vote with the Government in the division on the Corn-law measure. The Noble Earl, from continued infirmity arising from impaired health, has not as yet taken the customary oaths as a Member of the House of Peers since her Majesty's accession to the throne. A meeting of Peers, very numerously attended, took place on Wednesday at the Clarendon hotel, at which it was unanimously resolved to oppose, by every constitutional means, the progress of the Government Free-trade measures in the House of Lords. It is stated in well-informed quarters, that the dis- satisfaction felt by the Duke of Wellington and the other heads of the army at Sir John Littler's report of the retreat of the 62nd regiment in front of the batteries of Ferozesliah, is likely to accelerate the long-rumoured amalgamation of the British and East-India armies. It is thought that the jealousy between the two services is injurious, and-^wfilrfd be diminished by placing the officers both of ?? cen's troops and the Company's entirely under th J 'me control. The intervention of the Company, "aH11óugh nearly nominal, is still con- sidered calculated to separate the two services more than is desirable. It is thought that Sir John Littler made his report in order that blame might not be justly imputed to his own branch of the service, which is the Indian; whereas, it is conceived that the only fault lay in the orders, which required the men to do more than was to be expected in the face of what the Duke of Wellington termed a fortress" rather that a camp," and a fortress unbreached by guns.-Record. The Manchester Guardian notices a rumour in very general circulation in South Lancashire, that one of its representatives, Lord Francis Egerton, is about to be called to the House of Lords as one of a batch of new Peers. It is now pretty generally believed," says the Guardian, that after the bill for altering the Corn-law has passed the House of Commons, several individuals, now or recently in that House, including Lord Francis Egerton, Lord Lincoln, and Lord Ashley, will be called to the Upper House, in order to assist in carrying the great measure through that assembly." A petition has been presented against the return of Mr. Cochrane for the Borough of Bridport. The petitioners allege gross bribery, and pray a scrutiny. A vacancy has arisen in the representation of Rich- mond by the death of the Hon. W. N. Ridley Colborne, only son of Lord Colborne. Mr. Cobden, M.P., has addressed a letter to Mr. Sheriff Laurie, expressing a cordial sympathy in his views as to the necessity of finding a refuge for dis- charged prisoners. I wish," says Mr. Cobden, "I were in a position to offer you my co-operation in your good work, but I am so exhausted by my labours in another cause, that I feel it will be necessary for me to wind up my energies by a total change and relaxation from public life before I am capable of any renewed ef- forts. But I cannot deny myself the pleasure of assur- ing you how deeply I am interested in the success of your philanthrophic exertions." The Duke of Beaufort has, it is stated, requested the whole of his regiment, the Royal Gloucestershire Yeomanry Cavalry, to let their mustachios grow previous to permanent duty, which will commence on the 16th of May next. Some few years ago, the Fourteenth Light Dragoons went to India, six hundred strong. In less than 6 years they returned to this country, a skeleton of thirty-three men and three officers. On Saturday there was in all parts of London a gene- ral fall in the price of bread to the amount of one halfpenny. The highest price is now 9d., and the lowest 7d., per quartern loaf of four pounds. A man named George Eades jumped into the river from Vauxhall-bridge, on Monday morning, and was drowned. Indian corn is now becoming an article of regular and extensive trade with the corn merchants. Large quan- tities have been released from bond during the last fort- night. Considerable importations of buck-wheat are ex- pected, and preparations are in progress for grinding it at the rice mills. A prize of one hundred guineas is offered by the society for the encouragement of arts, manufactures, and commerce, for the invention of a mixture of materials for a wholesome, nutritious, and palatable bread, to be sold at a low price and used as an economical substitute for wheaten bread, biscuit, or potatoes. The materials suggested are—sago, rye, wheat, maize, barley, beans, peas, oats, rice, beet-root, parsnips, &c. To be given in on or befoi^he 15th of this month." Her Majesty, by the advice of Her Privy Council, has been pleased to declare the port of Galwap-a fit and proper harbour for the importation of goods from places within the limits of the East India Company's Charter. Govegyaent has advertised for contracts, at Cork, for grinding Indian corn. A true tale is told of the late Charles Mathews, that, personating an eccentric old gentleman, a family friend, he drank tea with his mother without her finding out the cheat. Some time since, a person in the neighbourhood of Keswick, having several hives of bees to dispose of, and being^ous to attract purchasers, caused a placard to ????prluted, announcing a sale, with these extraon??j ? had-lines: Extraordinary sale of live stock, comprising not less than one Hundred and forty thousand head, with an unlimited right of pasturage. A Liverpool paper speaks of the reform bill as a mea- sure carried by the congregated ruffians of England." Three-fifths, at least, of the constituency of Liverpool would have had no votes but for the measure thus de- nounced. A man named Barber, a labourer in the Portsmouth dockyard, and formerly footman to the late Sir Michsel Seymour, was apprised a few days since that he is heir to property amounting to half a million The man can scarcely believe his good luck. The prisoner Spicer, convicted at the Berkshire assizes oi the murder of his wife, was hanged on Friday at the county gaol. A Mr. de la Haye proposes a submarine tube to serve as a railway tunnel between Calais and Dover for which a capital of 1;8,000,000 would be requisite. The new screw for the Great Britain steam-ship weighs seven tons. It is intended to form a company in Newcastle, for the purpose of turning the contents of the common sewers to profitable account. It is proposed to intercept and convey them underground, without the slightest nuisance to the public, to a considerable distance from the town, where reservoirs will be formed and buildings erected, and there subject them to a chemical process, by which all objections on the score of offensiveness will be des- troyed, and the substance, as a manure, improved in its fertilising properties. On Tuesday Mr. Amos Mailes, landlord of the Walwyn Arms, Much Marcle, Herefordshire, exhibited at the George Inn, in Gloucester, a calf, with two heads, two necks, and two separate back-bones as far as the loin. It was calved on the previous night by a cow belonging to Mr. Williams, of Much Marcle, and was at its full time, but died in calving. The heads are of equal size, and marked exactly alike. By the abolition of the auction and glass duties, salaries to the amount of L52,636 annually, have been saved by the discontinuance of the army of officers em- ployed to collect those taxes. Large quantities of Indian corn have been released from bond in the course of the past week. Several additional cargoes are expected shortly.—Liverpool Albion. The subscriptions to the Free-Crch Manse Fund, inere are x,ooo newspapers anu penouicais in ine I United States, and but 1,801 in all the world beside. I Two criminals, cofivicted of murder at the late Long- ford Assizes, were hanged on Saturdayt4pst. They both protested their innocence to the last. A terrible collision occurred on the Paris and Rouen Railway on Saturday morning. A special train, which had started from Paris with several Deputies going to Havre to inspect the sites of the proposed new maritime defences, came in contact, at the station of Bonnieres, with the Falaise Diligence, placed on a truck working so as to get on the other rail, and be ready to be attached to the train coming from Rouen. In the Falaise Dili- genre were twenty-two passengers, of whom one was killed by the .shock, three so severely injured that the lives of two were despaired of, and fourteen more or less bruised, leaving four unhurt. The travellers in the special train felt the shock very slightly. The local authorities hastened to the scene, and had every a attention paid to the sufferers that okeir cases & On Monday Mr. John Langan, more familiarly styled and better known as Jack Langan," the pugilist, breathed his last, at the house of Mrs. Lewis, Five-lane- ends, near Neston, Cheshire. Jack was born at a place called Mud-island, near Dublin, in the year of the Irish rebellion, 1798. At the age of twenty-one his first pugil- istic encounter took place, at the Curragh of Kildare, on the 20th of May, 1819. The contest between him and Spring came off at Worcester, for 1;300 a side, on the 7th of January, 1824. After 77 rounds, occupying 140 minutes, Spring was declared the victor. The second contest between him and Spring came off at Bird- ham-bridge, near Chichester, for 1500 a side, on the 8th of June, in the same year, 1824. After 77 rounds again, occupying 108 minutes, Spring was once more the victor. This was Jack's last public encounter he repaired at once to this town, and immediately opened a public-house in Whitechapel, in which he made no inconsiderable amount of money. Some time after- wards he built a public-house at the Clarence-dock, which he held until his death, and there he realised such immense sums of money that he was not only able to bring up a large family, but to purchase Thorn- ton-lodge, near Neston, for JEaOOO, and to leave his children a sum of between E20,000 and £ 30,000. He died at the age. of 48, and, at his own request, his re- mains will be conveyed to Ireland for interment.-Li- verpool Advertiser. The French papers contain accounts of noisy emon- strations in favour of the Poles, in various provincial towns. At Dijon, on the 23rd, some alarm was created: the garrison was reinforced, and the troops were placed under arms the students and mob having, for two or three days, marched through the streets singing the Marseillaise," and crying Vive la Polonge!" "A bas Guizot!" At Mons, on the 21st, cavalry and infan- try were brought up by forced marches from Vendome and Lavel, 6,000 persons having assembled to sing the Marseillaise." The National Guard of Metz were re- viewed on the 22d, and left the ground shouting Vive la Polonge Vivent les Polonais At Lille, on the other hand, the non-commissioned officers of a regi- ment of cavalry would appear to have been permitted to move about the town on horseback, in order to collect subscriptions for the insurgents. They carried long poles, at the end of which purses were tied, which they presented to the windows. The official accounts of the late affair with Abd-el- Kader are given in the Paris papers of Thursday, but they do not add materially to what was already known concerning it. The Emir, it is stated, was pursued for several leagues, and he only escaped owing to the sheer exhaustion of the horses, many of which dropped down dead. The railroad from Orleans to Tours was opened on Thursday with great ceremony, at which the Dukes de Nemours and Montpensier were present. The Courier Francais' says it has received a letter informing it that several important members of the Mo- derado party have precipitately left Spain, and taken refuge at Bayonne. We have news from Madrid to the 20th inst. The ordinance against the liberty of the press has already had the effect of extinguishing all the Liberal or Pro- gresista journals, as well as silencing all the rest as to political strictures. The members of the Cortes had dispersed. The capital was tranquil. The King of the Belgians has refused his sanction to the political programme submitted to him by M. Ron- gier, who has been commissioned to form a new Ministry. The Belgian Chambers are adjourned for a month. The finance minister of Greece has announced that he can make no budget-that he has no money—that the revenue-books have disappeared—and that the public accounts are in a state of chaos If we may believe the Russian statistics, the Poles are reckoned at this moment at 9,.500,000 souls. Of these, 5,000,000 are in the various provinces which I Russia has obtained at different times for her share in the dismemberment Austria has 2,341,000 Prussia, 2,000,000 Polish subjects. The free state of Cracow contains 130,000 inhabitants. The leniency of the Czar towards the Polish insur- gents has already manifested itself. The Courier of Warsaw,' of the 17th inst, states that three of the chiefs of the revolt of Siediess, viz., Potocki, Kocioshewski, and Zarski have been hanged. The first at Siedless, and the two others in front of the citadel of Warsaw.

COTTON MILL DESTROYED BY FIRE.-The spinning- mill belonging to Messrs. Livesey and Sons, of Houghton- bottom, situate about four miles from Blackburn, and six miles from Preston, was on Thursday completely des- troyed by fire. The fire is supposed to have originated from the friction of a part of the machinery, technically called 41 the devil's hole," which had not been properly oiled. The damage is estimated at from £10,000 to £ 13,000. The stock and machinery were insured. INCENDIARY FIRE AT A COTTON MANUFACTORY.— An alarming fire broke out on Sunday morning at the factory of Messrs. Brewin and Whetstone, cotton-spin- ners, in the North-gate, Leicester, and property to the amount of between £3,000 and £ 4000 was des- troyed. From what we can learrirthere is too much reason to fear that the fire was the act of an incendiary. INCREASE OF THE COMMERCE OF THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL. AS an evidence of the rapid increase of the commerce of the port, we are assured that it will affordcation to our readers to know, that the town-d l ^W r the half-year ending 26th of February as compared with the corresponding period of last year, is in excess by upwards of E45,000, and it is more than pro- bable the gross income from this source for the whole year, will produce upwards of-W,000 this amount when contrasted with the receiptWor the years 1843-5 (a little over £ 44,000), will at once evidence the rapidity with which the commerce of the port has increased in the last ten years, having nearly doubled itself during that period, as evidenced by these data.-Liverpool paper. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN EDINBURGH.—The establish- ment known as the University printing-office, in Thistle- street, was on fire on Saturday last. The whole of the types, about a dozen presses, besides a large amount of printed works in sheets, were destroyed. No precise information has yet been obtained of the origin of the fire -Edi?ibttrgh Courant. COMING TIIE OLD SOLDIER OVER THE COLONEL.— A serjeaut of one of the regiments of the household troops, finding that he had been illegally enlisted, and that consequently there was every danger of his losing the time he had served, and being also somewhat anxious to leave the service, applied to his colonel upon the sub- ject, who told him that if he was willing to remain in the regiment, that lie (the colonel) would re-enlist him. The serjeant accepted the offer, and accordingly the colonel proceeded to re-enlist him, placing a shilling in his hand. No sooner was this ceremony gone through, than the serjeant, handing a sovereign to the colonel as smart money, informed him that if there had existed previously any doubt respecting his right to leave the regiment, that that doubt was then removed, as he claimed the right to which all recruits are entitled before their at- testation. Although the colonel was sadly chagrined at being thus out-generalled, he put the best possible face upon the affair by complimenting the serjeant upon his successful manoeuvre. A GREAT PRINTING OFFICE.—We copy from Dick- ingson's Almanack, for 1846, an account of his immense printing office, in Boston The office of the Rotary Press covers an area of 14,823 square feet, embracing fifteen rooms. It is lighted by day by 1664 squares of glas set in 100 different windows and by night by gass shooting up from 100 different burners. In these premises we have one steam-engine of ten-horse power, three Adam's power presses, two Napier presses, three rotary presses, two Ruggle's job presses, eleven hand presses, two copper plate presses, two embossing presses, one hydraulic press, four standing presses, one small power press, two paper cutters, three card cutters, one ink mill, and four machines for shaving stereotype plates, two of which are moved by steam-power. We have more than 400 different styles of types, borders, flowers, and cuts of various sorts, in weight 30,000 lbs. These are held in their places by means of 866 type cases, 500 brass galleys, 200 feet standing galleys, 330 chases, and 3 bushels of quoins. We have two large cisterns, which contain about 1000 gallons, or upwards of 18 hogsheads of water. This is distributed through every part of the office, by means of 500 feet of lead pipe. We use six hogsheads of water per day, which, supposing it was brought in buckets, would take one man 13 L hours each day to furnish, allowing him to bring four gallons every ten minutes. Our various presses throw off in the iourse of the year, 6,066,480, sheets of paper, or 12,645 reams. Supposing each sheet to be but 2 feet long, and that they were placed in one continuous line, they would stretch out to 15,173,700 feet, or nearly 2875 miles, about the distance from here to Europe. It is com- puted that we have printed, the past year, 130,240,000 pages of books, 64,000 circulars, 25,000 commercial and lawyers' blanks, 20,000 cheques, 25,000 billets, and 500,000 bill-heads, 300 000 shop bills and hand bills, 2,000,000 of labels. We have cut up, printed, embossed, and sold 1,201,520 cards, or 24,030 packs. Our average consumption of coal is over two tons a week, or more than 100 tons a year. Besides our 100 gas burners, we use about 150 gallons of oil for extra lights and ma- chinery. For our various printing it takes 1200 pounds of ink per annum, besides gold leaf, bronze, and size. In our type and stereotype foundry we have used the past year 50,000 lbs. of metal, and turned out 7000 stereotype plates of various sizes and shapes. In our whole establishment we employ usually about 100 hands, and it is safe to conclude that our office affords direct sustenance to at least 500 persons." Boston Paper. CONSOLATION.—A Yankee editor, noticing the decease of a rich subscriber, observes that lie has died regret- ed by a numerous circle of friends, and leaving a widow as disconsolate as any widow aeed be who has obtained the uncontrollable possession of 20,000 dollars per annum." EMBANKMENT ACROSS THE SEVERN.—Mr. Motley in a letter to the Bristol Journal, proposes, in place of a suspension bridge across the Severn at Aust Passage, to construct an embankment, by which he says the fol- lowing advantages may be obtained:-I. A superior level for a railroad and carriage road. 2. Superior sta- bility and firmness. 3. The advantage of a separate spacious carriage road. 4. The advantage of prevent- ing the occasional tidal floods over the low lands on the borders of the Severn. 5. By making a floating harbour from thence to Gloucester the dangerous navigation at 4ust Passage would be avoided. 6. By making proper arrangements to obviate the inconvenience and evil of land floods, thereby increasing the value of all the low lands adjoining. 7. Converting large tracts of swampy and marsh land, now of little value, into valuable pasture or arable land. The cost of a suspension bridge is estimated at £ 1,100,000, of an embankment £ 1,000,000. We confess we question the practicability of either plan. -Herepath'S' Journal. THE WAR ON THE SUTLEJ.-The last despatches announce another brilliant victory, and said that our army had advanced to the bank of the Sutlej, where it was before Our progress in the Punjaub is like that military manoeuvre called marking time," where sol- diers seem to be marching, without moving an inch for- ward. And at the same place, it is said, we are to re- main until the autumn shall restore cool weather. If so, the troops will have assembled to lie on the left bank of the Sutlej and be broiled all the summer fighting at once with the Sikhs and with sickness—alternately ex- posed to coups defusil and coups de soliel. The pros- pect is not agreeable, even if they were to go on having these victories all the time. A succession of such gains- might quite bankrupt all our resources. A more hopeful story is, that the Governor-General was to cross the, river forthwith—it is to be wished that his progress may become more rapid. The best chances seem again to lie in negotiation. The Sikhs must at last know that they have been beaten, and they may take to new coun- sels among themselves.-Atlas. £ THE BATTLE OF THE SSUTLEJ.—ihe following let- ter from a Private in the 80th regiment, to bis parents, which appears in the Staffordshire Advertiser, will be read with interest "Head Quarters, 80th Regiment, Camp, near Ferozepore, Jan. 1st, 1846. "DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER,—I write these few lines to you hoping to find you in good health, as it leaves me at this time thank God for it. I received your let- ter about two months ago, but could not write to you before, because we were not allowed. On the 18th of December we were engaged, after marching about 30 miles, being fatigued with hunger and long marching. Our enemy thought to take us in; they thought to come on us in the night; but he little thought that we were down on him. We marched about a quarter past four to the field, where we were engaged we lost a few men,. and several got wounded. We lay on the ground until 12 o'clock that night, while the enemy retreated and left their guns behind them. At twelve o'clock that night we marched back to our camp, and remained there till the morning of the 21st. We went in search of the enemy, and we found them about three o'clock that day. Then we begun, and the battle raged till dark then we lay on the ground till morning. Our drummers and buglers sounded Cease firing the enemy let fly in us with their big guns; we again set to them, and took some more of their big guns. About twelve o'clock that night our Colonel took our regiment only, and a great many men got wounded. The next morning, the 22nd, the first boy begun; he let fly at our infantry; he little thought our artillery got near to them, and let fly into I them and they all ran away, and left their guns, while the infantry charged right through their camp, and we thought all was over with their artillery, and went and formed square for cavalry, but they dursn't come to us. They had another battery which we knew nothing about. While we were waiting for their cavalry, their artillery let fly into us again, and our artillery was done. Their ammunition and their horses were completely wearied out. Our 3rd Light Dragoons and 4tli Native Lancers made a charge at them and they all cut and left their guns behind them: the total of guns we took was up- wards of one hundred! Dear Father and Mother, I can assure you that 1 never saw such riches in my life before. I got hold of two tent-poles, covered with silver, as much as I could carry, but I would not take them. They left all their stores behind them, and I can assure you that all I thought of was to get something to eat and drink, and something to cover over me that night, for we were not sure of our lives a moment. The next morning they told us to go into their camp, and fetch some flour, and kill some bullocks, and we very soon broke our fast; for we could not get so much as a drink for three days. I s 1. j n i 1.1 stiall say no more at present, so gooa oye, anu uuu uiess you all. Direct for Umballa, or elsewhere." UNITED STATES.—Advices from New York, to the 5th instant, reached Liverpool, on Thursday afternoon by the ship Marmion, Captain Edwards. In consequence of the very heavy snow storms, the Washington mails are not of so late a date as usual, the roads being blocked up by snow. The news from Washington is of a satis- factory character, and, with the exception of some two or three papers most distinguished for their exertions in keeping up a talk of war, all appears to be quiet, and a general feeling is gaining ground that war is entirely out of the question. The New York Herald pretends that our Minister, Mr. Pakenham, has given in his ul- timatum but this is authoritatively denied by the Wash- ington Union, and it is quite certain that nothing of the sort had occurred. A well-informed writer at Washing- says, "It is not now in my power to state specifically whether the President has consented to present his offer in London or to Mr. Pakenham but I infer from the suggestions which have been made to me, as well as from my own reasoning, that in respect to Mr. Buchanan t on. the negociations will be continued in Washington." The proceedings of Congress are of little interest. The Oregon question will still under discussion, but no Tote had been come to in the Senate. FRENCH FREEDOM.—For a free country France is the oddest in the world. It is very doubtful "t1ier  she likes freedom at all. The people are devoted to | the game of soldiering soldiers being the very instru- ments by which Governments keep down the people, and make the people exist for the Government, instead of the opposite case. Foreign wars are the pretexts for keeping up great armies, and may be used at home, and must be paid for at home; and no country is so fond of foreign wars as France. She boasts a representative institution, yet she suffers it to be starved and meagre vote. It was not a very good contrivance, but it helped to keep up some sense of independence in France. Successive Ministries have actually violated and disre- garded that set law, without deigning to appeal to the Legislature. At last those now in office have been called upon to account for that irregular practice, so that, they have kindly promised, either to fulfil the law, or to bring in a bill for its formal alteration. And of course it will be altered. Paris overflows with rage at the idea that perfide Albion" patronises Queen Po- mare in Tahiti, or takes a few oysters too far south from the shore of Jersey but complacently sees itself hemmed in by a fortified wall, and the National Guard gradually disbanded throughout the country Atlas. POLISH NEWS.—There is nothing new from Poland, except the loud wail of mourning for outrages inflicted during the brief revolt, and the miseries that follow. But Prussia seems uncomfortable, and Austria is taking precautions that indicate the precarious tenure of her tranquillity. The Polish insurrection is quelled but neither Austria, Prussia, nor Russia, can quell herself. SPANISH AFFAIRS.—The new Narvaez Cabinet has shown its teeth betimes. In returning" to office, the soldier Minister has formed his Administration on a fresh plan, so as to be at once servile to his bidding, violent in its despotic opinions, and unswayed by scruples on the score of character. It begins the duties imposed upon it by dismissing the Cortes and abolishing freedom of the press. There is something in the con- duct of Narvaez which is unaccountable, on grounds of ordinary Ministerial power. He now stands apart from all political sections, finding desperadoes from several sections willing to share his fortunes. He cannot conquer the Queen-M other but neither can she con- quer him. There is in his bearing a kind of insolence —a disregard of appearances or explanations, that is peculiar. Another disregard was long ago imputed to him—that of personal appearance and form on approach- ing the young Queen. At the same time, the manifesto- of this new Government mingles with its outrageous insinuations against the people and their rights, the profession of adoring to idolatry the throne The Queen, it is said, took an active part in accumulating embarrassments on the Marquis de Miraflores, the Pre- mier whom Narvaez first installed and then wanted to remove. Instead of expressing any girlish impatience to be married, the Queen seems contentedly to watch the interminable disputes respecting the choice of a. match. Meanwhile, the soldier of fortune goes about like a man conscious of possessing a powerjfor which no. one can aceount.-Atlas. THE WAR PARTY IN AMERICA.—Though confined to the report of a single debate, and that a discussion un- closed, the intelligence from the United States is un- usually important and interesting. According to the best expectations, pacific counsels prevail in the Senate. The war party seems to have lost its ascendancy the strange and indiscreet conduct of the Executive, indi- cating not less incompetency for office than want of po- litical honesty, was unsparingly exposed; while the feasibility, expediency, and dignity of amicable nego- tiation and arbitration were eloquently enforced. The men who did that excellent service to both countries were Mr. Crittenden, Webster, and Mr. Calhoun rmd they evidently possessed the ear and mind of the Senate. Their speeches, without yielding an inch of American rights, form a strong protest against war as a gratuitous national crime—a protest as strong as any that has been uttered on this Bide of the Atlantic.
