PULVERMACHER informs those invalids whose maladies are considered beyond the aid ol medical skill, that he has appointed Mr. T.

Nearly every form of disease is permanently and magically cured by wearing one over y' L v the part affected. In all those cases where medic'ne or ordinary appliances prove futile, the Cheins act like a •K S charm. For miles round many sufferers have already beg*. marvellously relieved—the maladies cured, principally onsist of paralysis, epilepsv, spasms, rheumatism, profit, lumbago, sciatica, rigidity, stiff joints, urethral irtisor- ders, hysteria, loss of voice, hypochondria, deafness, debility, constipation, and palsy. And the alleviation of neuralgia, tic iloloreux, head, ear, face, and tooth "I ache, is so astonishing, and effected so instantaneously, that sufferers may test the influence of the Chain before- hand at the depot. After seeing and feeling the phenomena produced, the suiffcrer may still further be astonished and convinced by perusing the extracts taken from upwards of 100 medical, scientific, clerical, and philosophical works, referring to the efficacy of this new discovery.— Price os., 10s. 6d., 15s., 18s., 22s.—Visit the depot and read the documents irom parties cured.—J.

THE MARKET HOUSE.
THE MARKET HOUSE. A CAPITAL time for studying the defects, deficiencies, and crimes of omission and commission in Merthyr is afforded on Satur- day night. A Merthyr Saturday night is a very different affair to the Cotter's" of Auld Burns. In one we have calm repose, in the other buoyant dashing life-a picture of the Dutch school—very true and striking, but not pleasing to refined minds. Saturday last we had a glimpse of it, and unpalatable as it is on an ordinary night, rain pouring down, and wind veering about with all the vigour of winter, increased instead of lessened the unpleasantness. Looking from the high road towards a gaol like building, we saw in the centre of the large dark erection an en- trance, seemingly the huge door of a furnace wherein sinners had premonitory tastes of avemi. Towards this entrance we hastened and were soon mixed up with a throng of men, women, and children, who were striving to get in, while an inward tide, who had been fagotted, appled, and bought everything from boots to looking glasses, and butter to crockery ware, were striving as eagerly to get out. By the door, an earnest voiced man entreated everybody to buy a correct likeness of Sayers and Heenan, strongly contrasted with a vendor of umbrellas, who stood mute besides a row of his goods temptingly ar- ranged. Ignoring the Heenan man and the umbrella man, we passed on and soon were j lost in the midst of a dense multitude. The spectacle was an interesting one—everything saleable was to be had;—fruit without any attempt at order, confectionery, grocery, boots, tfinkets and books. But with the ex- ception of the trinkets and the shoemaker's stalls, all was in confusion. Every article seemed as if thrown down—there was an ample supply but no attractive arrangement, it seemed a free-and-easy kind of affair- sellers smoked their pipes behind their wares, others ate their suppers. Rows of boys munched fagots and black puddings, con- gratulating each other the while, and were the objects of envious approval to rows of other boys who had already had their fagots or black puddings, and wanted, in all appear- ance, to go over the same duty again. Lower down the change became striking, from a medley of things vended by Merthyr men and women, to products from the country, presided over by genuine country people, all of whom looked as if they had endured a storm and got through it safely, but much buffeted and crunched thereby. The poor blue fowls that even in death retained the remembrance of their bleak quarters, and the tasted pounds of butter also thrown down in disorder, were the remnants of the wreck. From this point to the door semi-darkooss reigned, or a kind of twilight, assisted by a few candles sparingly placed, and the glare from the other part; but all through the market light was much wanted. We looked above us and saw the gas pipes, brown, rusty, out of order, broken, useless,-pipes that should have lit the Market House to perfec- tion, to the benefit of every seller and buyer, and to the mortification of the gangs of petty thieves whose vices are favoured by the surrounding semi-darkness. Instead of the clear gas flame the odious canphine lamp, with its smoke and its bad smell flourished, every where. The shoemakers, with their long line of eind,les and these camphine lamps placed at intervals, and by the owners themselves, were the only means of lighting the large building; so that if lamps could not be ob- tained the poor stall keepers would have to content themselves with candles and with smaller takings. Light is needed, absolutely, and in our opinion it would be deemed a boon if gas were supplied even at a small extra charge to the stall owners. The butchers' side is a contrast in every particu- lar to the larger portion of the Market, but even there the pipes have suffered ill-usage, are deformed, distorted, and complain there- by in sending jets of gas where they should not, and causing darkness in places where they ought to shine. Here, however, there is not much cause for complaint. The great and serious de- fects of the building and the internal arrange- b ments are conspicuous only in the central portion, and these might be remedied or considerably modified, if those having the control of the building would visit and in- spect. Indeed we have heard that Richard Thomas, Esq., one of the proprietors, has long been desirous of remedying this evil, and if this is so, it is to be hoped that he may ere long succeed in having his wish car- ried out. The Market House is remunerative we are assured, and this fact is one that should im- pel the owners or stewards to improve the place. It is to the interests of the public that every accommodation should be sup- plied; convenience for the buyer and the seller, ample room for the exhibition of wares, plenty of light for the benefit of all; and above everything, that it should be characterised by scrupulous cleanliness. These are necessities, and as a market is a monopoly, common justice demands that the people should neither suffer in their interests nor in their health, when a little expenditure would corrrct the defects to which we have directed attention. + TO OUR READERS. WE have much pleasure in informing our readcca that we have succeeded in making arrangements with a London Correspondent for a weekly Letter," to embrace those sub- jects which command the most general atten- tion in the Metropolis. We subjoin this week the first of these contributions:— LONDON, AUG. 29,1860. FORTY days have elapsed since St. S with en's, and we are now, apparently, to have fine weather. Never was it more wanted than at present; it alone can arrest the fearful tendency which has of late taken provisions to rise," and afford us some cheering prospect for the ensuing winter. Those alone who live in large towns can form any idea of the misery which high prices entail upon the poor, especially in the winter and as week after week has brought no cessation of rain, it has become quite a serious consideration what the effect of the present "dearness of everything" may be. The last three days have been bright and sunny; if they only continue, our harvest may yet be but little below the average, and "things" may "come round again" before the cold weather commences. The Times of yesterday had a long article, headed The Session," in which it reviews that which is just closed. As usual, the tone of the Thunderer is vague and doubtful, though the tenour of the article is, upon the whole, approba- tion of Lord Palmerston and his colleagues, with the exception of Mr. Gladstone, (to whom it has an undisguised aversion,) and disapprobation of Mr. Bright. It speaks in flattering terms and approvingly of Mr. Disraeli, and even of Mr. Horsman, the "wild" member for Stroud. The people generally will not, I think, accept the views of the Times upon the late session. Lord Palmerston, for instance, does not stand as high as he should do in the world's opinion. His won- derful ability and great tact are admitted, but, somehow or other, lie is not considered honest. This may probably arise from the manner in which he considered the Aggression of the Lords, and the Paper Duties Bill, in the treatment of which Mr. Bright shone out so conspicuously straightforward and honest, as he always is. A new pamphlet has just appeared in Paris, entitled The Rhine and the Eastern Question." It proposes as seriously as possible that unless the Ehine boundary is ceded to France, Europe should be divided between France and Rusaia; the former becoming the Empire of the West, and the latter the Empire of the East! The Emperor has given up all idea of establishing Spain as a great power, in a manner not very flattering to that nation. There is little doubt that Spain might have been admitted, provided France would have consented to accede Sweden as a counterweight; but Napoleon knew that the vote of the former, counterbalanced by that of the latter, would be almost worthless. .7 It is said that Austria is about to address a note to the Great Powers, calling attention to the expedition of Garibaldi, and to the threat- ening aspect which it has now assumed towards the peace of Europe." It will be useless, for the Great Powers are not likely to interfere. A letter from Vienna says that on the Emperor Francis Joseph's birthday the Czar gave a banquet at St. Petersburg, and himself proposed tLe health of his dear brouitr, the Emperor of Austria." It would appear that the Austrian Government thinks, or at least would like the world to think, that this piece of imperial cour- tesy is a token that more friendiv relations are, likely to arise between the Austrian and Russian" courts. t Garibaldi has landed at' Melito with eight thousand men, and has attacked and taken IlegL'io with no greater loss than the strand of one of the Sicilian ships, upon which the ^C'.iolitan cruisers fired. An English steamer, purchased at Liverpool, has reached Messina in safety, and another English ship has brought Garibaldi several thousand muskets and rifled cannon. We hear from Messina that Garibakli has arrested the bishop of that place, in consequence of the intrigues and conspiracies against the Provisional Government, in which, at the instigation of the Court of Rome, he was concerned. In searching his house a missive was discovered from the Pope, condemning the character and policy of Garibaldi. It is not yet known what course the latter will pursue in the matter, but most probably ;the bishop, who is watched over day and night, will be exiled. A most calamitous fire took place on Sunday morning, totally destroying St. Martin's ITall and Kesterton's large coach manufactory. The former, I fear, is not insured and if so, the loss will be great. Coach-building materials to the value of upwards of £ 10,000 are said to have been con- sumed in the latter. A Wiltshire paper says, "No new fact of con- sequence has transpired in reference to the Road murder; but it is said that the local officers to whose hands the investigation has been entrusted, are more confident of ultimate success than they have yet been. They are, of course, very cautious not to make any revelation of the direction in which their suspicions point, but there is little doubt that they are endeavouring to follow out a particular line of enquiry. Captain Meredith, chief of the Wilts constabulary, has the direc- tion of the investigation, which is being more immediately prosecuted by Superintendents Foley and Wolfe." A Bath paper remarks, The Wiltshire police are much more sanguine at the present moment of the ultimate discovery of the murderer or murderess, than at any former period of the examination, and that too, without any great alteration as to the object of suspicion." The murder of the rich old woman at Stepney is still a mystery, which, however, it is hoped the government reward of 9,300 for the discovery of the culprit will ere long solve. William Godfrey Youngman, who as yet has made no confession, will suffer the extreme penalty of the law on. Tuesday next. He still most positively affirms his innocence, and has more than once told the officers of the prison that his life will be spared, and that like Smethurst, he will receive a free pardon. The Great Eastern arrived at Milford Haven on Sunday evening, having made the run from Halifax in ten days. She had on board sixty- seven passengers. From this time she com- mences her commercial career, and it is to be hoped that the ill-luck which has hitherto so often attended her, has now deserted her for ever. As an effort of great engineering skill there is no doubt she is a complete success. Her reputation is now sufficiently established to en- able those to whom she belongs to reap some of the profit which must most assuredly accrue from any commercial undertakings in which she is engaged. May she always be, as she deserves, successful! The celebrated clown, Flexmore, died at Lam- beth last week. His last performance was at the Surrey Theatre, in April. When quite a young child, he performed his first dance in pub- lic, and has always been a general favourite. Like most of his profession, he died early, being only in his thirty-ninth year. The labours of his vocation are so great and distracting, and the excitement, late hours and irregular living so injurious to health, that a constitution must be very strong that is not soon ruined in conse- quence. His loss will be much felt in the circle in which he moyed. The AllienfEum announces that Madame Clara Novello will give two farewell performances at the Crystal Palace, one of the "Messiah," and the other of the "Creation," during the last week in September. It may be presumed, how- ever, that this means only her farewell to Syden- ham, and not to the Strand. The contributions of amateurs willing to join in the chorus are re- quested by advertisement. The chief musical event of the week has been the conceres a'la Jullien, at the Floral Hall, Covent Garden, which are under the joint direction of Mr. Alfred Mellon, and Prince Galitzin. The enterprise has been carried out with great spirit, and has as yet proved successful. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. THE GREAT EASTERN.-This noble ship reached Milford Haven on Sunday last and is now an- chored in that magnificent bay. We see by advertisements and notices that the Vale of Neath Railway are running cheap excursion trains to Milford for the purpose of giving every one an opportunity of inspecting the finest example yet built of naval architecture. The low fare and the object will we trust tempt thousands. SINGULAR SUICTDE.-One of those unaccount- able suicides, for which no apparent motive exists, occurred on Wednesday, in the neighbourhood of Dowlais. The self-destroyer was a respectable working man, named Richard Evans, living at or near Cwmrhvd-y-bedd. He was a man well to do in the world had cows, ponies, and a decently furnished houss. On Tuesday it appears that he bad been indulging in drink, and passed the night on a settle in a public house. Early in the morning he went to the cow shed, his wife think- ing he was gone to milk the cows, but on her going to see what had become of him the horrible spectacle of his lifeless body suspended from a beam met her frightened gaze. When taken down the unfortunate man was quite dead. PENYDARRAN IRON W ORKS.-Though agree- ing with a contemporary in the hopo that some enterprising man or company would take these works and carry them on-there is, we fear, very little probability of the hope being realized. We were favoured with the opinica lately of one of the most energetic of the Wtish ironmasters on the subject, and it is as follows: Penydarran Works I fear will not be carried on again. The speculation would be more tlan ordinarily rash, for there are no minerals, aid the Works could not compete with those arolnd. Even supposing it could, the day is gone b for any fresh venture in Iron Works among tie hills or anywhere in Wales. Staffordshire bs eclipsed us, outrivalled us. There a venture vould pay—here it would be a ruin." Such, and nearly in the same language, is the opirion of one of our greatest ironmasters on the hlls. FIRE ENGINE.—A few days ago the old fire engine at Aberdasi which has done good service in its day, was sent back to the place from whence it origindly came. The Abordare Water Works Compary having arranged, so we hear, to supply an engne and see to its proper working. This should le not only a hint, but an incentive to our Boad of Health, who, we are sure, will not be too )fond to imitate Aberdare when the example s so praiseworthy. As the Water Works a-o expected to be completed and in ope- ration h'fore Christmas, no time should now be lost in obtaining an engine. Some years ag > certaii Insurance Societies offered to bear half the expenses, and this offer we have no doubt willoe repeated if an inclination should be shown to -fleet them half wny. No one can doubt the Pfce^sity, and the means required are too trivial l for discussion,
