AS a Creator ami Conservator of a transparently fair skin, ROWLAND'S KALYDORmav be said to exert an almost magical power. Balmy, Odoriferous, Creamy and perfectly free from all mineral admixture, it is distiniruished for its extremely bland, purifying, and soothing effects upon the slin while by its action on the pores and minute secretory vessel", expels all impurities fiom the surface, allays every tendency to inflammation, and thus effec'ually dissipates all KHDNKSS, TAN, Pl.YlPLES, SPOTS, KIIECKLUS, DiS- COLO'tATIONS, and other unsightly Cutaneous Visitations. The radiant bloom it imparts to the CHEEK; the softness and delicacy which it oil the HANDS, AUMS,aud NKCK; its capability of soothing irritation, removing Ctl- taneous Defects, and all unsightly appearances, render it iu- dispensable to every Toilet. The constant and persevering use of this invaluable medi- cament preserves and invigorates those important functions of the Skin on which depend its purity and softness—the Neck Hands, anti Arms assuming and retaining the radiant white- ness so much admired, aud affording so unequivocal a mark of attention to the niceties of the Toilet and the g'races of Per- sonal A ttraclton To G ENTLEM EN, who snfTer from tenderness and irritation of the face after shaving, RoWLA Nil's KALYDOR will have an unrivalled effect in alleviating and allavmg irritation and smarting pain, and rendering the skin soft and snooo h. It is iIJvauahle as a renovating and refreshing Wash during the heat. and dust of Summer, or Frost and bleak winds of YVtuter, and, in cases of Sun-burn, Stings of Insects, Chil- blains Chapped Skin, or Incidental Inflammation, its virtues have long and extensively been acknowledged.

dFovtiQn Jfittrlltgeitcr. FRANCE.—The French Chamber of Peers was on Thursday at the sixth day of debate upon the Address. It is seldom that the Upper Chamber protracts the dis- cussion beyond two, or at most three days, when the subject upon which it is engaged is the speech from the throne. The strangeness of the exception from so esta- blished a rule, is increased by the apparent absence of necessity. Considering the prudence of that illustrious assembly testified by the calm dignity of its demeanour at times when the public was really excited, and the Depu- ties not less so, we should be inclined to say that the present moment is one of such tranquillity that our noble orators feel they may safely indulge in the harmless luxury of long-winded discourses. As is but too much the case among French politicians, foreign affairs are alone held worthy ot notice. Never, in fact, was French thirst for influence abroad more strongly exemplified than in the course of this long protracted debate. The passion for war, which a few years ago had seemingly possessed the nation, would appear at length to have slowly reached and affected the aged limbs, even after the heart had ceased to be affected by it. Much of the present debate has turned upon the chances which a pos- sible, we shall not say probable, quarrel between England and America, has opened for France. The policy of an alliance, ainJ of course an alliance hostile to England, has been pror^ led, enlarged, and dwelt upon by M. fneua iu liie IJpp*r (, ufti.;i>«:i\ The treaty con- ctuncd between the Due lid Hrogtie and Sir Stephen Lushington, relative to the slave trade, has been ripped up and pronounced to be a piece of diplomatic deception of which France is the victim. The paragraphs of the address, which mark the friendly relations between the king of the French and the queen of Great Britain, with the good understanding between the governments of both countries, are submitted to suspicious criticism. One day was spent in bewailings over the decline of French influence in the East. Two in the examination of the right of search, and two more are devoted to the combined action of the French and British fleets in the River Plate. The Marquis de Gabriac, who passed some time with Rosas, has proclaimed himself the champion of that injured innocent. He is in fact the Narvaez and the Coletti of those ungovernable quarters. His is the severe duty of reducing all to order with an unsparing hand. In hit plan slaughter and extermination stand for wisdom and political sagacity. We have thus summed up the prominent points upon which the peers of France have spent a precious week. We have seen these sage. and venerable councillors engaged in blowing upon the smouldering embers of extinguished passions, in coqueting with the war party in the United States, in encouraging the government to proceed with an expen- diture outstripping an increasing revenue, and in mark- ing distrust of England. We know that all diplomatists like to display their critical skill, and old soldiers love to flourish their swords, and all think a little popularity not dearly purchased by the affectation of over-anxiety for the honour of France. But whether the cause be simple or complex, the phenomenon we have been observing proves at least the magnitude of the task the present French government has had to encounter in its magnani- mous struggle for peace, not the temporary patching of a misunderstanding-but such peace as will mark the entry of Europe upon a peace system as enduring as profitable. That the victory is not yet completely won, that M. Guizot will yet require support and encouragement, is evident from the incidents which have marked the debate in the address, in the highest assembly of France. It appears by the Paris papers of Saturday, that the French Chamber of Peers concluded its singularly protracted discussioD upon the address on Friday evening, when the Chamber divided, and there appeared for the address 1^0 against it 23 majority for Ministers 97 the minority being but 23, shows that Ministers have, irre- spectively of the large creation of peers since last session, gained upon their apponents, for as many as 40 peers di- vided against Government upon different occasions last year, while the tone of the late debate proves that the opposition fought with unabated bitterness. TbePrrssestates that an address has been received by the government from the Colonial Council,of Bourbon, prdying that means may be taken to enforce all the rights of France over Madagascarand recommending that the force to be employed should consist of nve or six thousand suen of the army of Alge- ria as being habituated to the kind of warfare which may be expected. The Presse warmly supports this address, announcing at the same time that the expedition has been so badly planned that it must end in failure, but on what foundation the prediction rests is not mentioned ALGERIA.—The National announces the receipt of importuut news from Algeria. Abd-el-Kader has fallen like a thunderbolt on the tribe of the Beni-zoug-zoug, raising the tribes on his passage, and burning the crops of the Arabs who had remained faithful to the French. Our French contemporary adds. Our enemy is not more than 25 leagues distant from Algiers. It is impossible to anti- cipate the results of such an audacious movement. The division of troops commanded by Marshal Buguead is in a most deplorable condition. Forced marches, hesvy rains, and want of food, have rendered a number of offi- cers and privates incapable of service As for the cavalry it may be said that it no longer exists. The horses have almost perished in consequence of hunger and fatigue so th-ttthe Marshal had been obliged to command General de Lamoriciere to send him in haste all his cavalry. It is doubtful whether the 500 cavalry sent forward by Ge- neral de Lamoriciere will reach the Marshal, as they must pass through the centre of the late insurrection. Whilst Marshal Bugeaud was employed in putting to the sword a few not very formidable Arab". Abd-el-Kader, who had suffered him to fatigue his troops, when he found the momet/t favourable, appeared in the Tell, lin the pro- vince of Algiers, which the Marshal had fortified with so much care." AMERICA.—ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA.— Liverpool, Jan. 15.—We have great pleasure in detailing the intelli- gence brought by the Acadia, Captain Harrison, and which is of a very satisfactory character. The Acadia arrived this morning, and brings us news from New York to the evening of the 31st of December. The advices brought by the Acadia are decidedly more pacific in their tone and character than any which have reached us for some time. Parties are quieting down, the most heedless brawlers are silent, and a more moderate temper has suc- ceeded to the irritation which so recently existed. The bombastic nonsense of General Cass and his friends has all ended in smoke, and although some would endeavour to construe inaction as unfavourable to a maintenance of peace, yet, with us in England, this will be well under- stood and properly appreciated. In order to convey a correct idea of the position of matters when the Acadia left, we must say, that the Congress of the United States has done nothtilg-as yet no act has been committed-alld no one stands committed to any course of policy, or any method of settling the dispute. Various resolutions on the Oregon question had been offered to Congress, and many distinguished senators and representatives have given it as their decided opinion that there will be no war. It is all talk, talk, talk; but there is no call for men, money, or the munitions of war. As long, therefore, as it is confined to such men as friend Cass, and other such pop-guu Jefferson Bricks, we may rest assured there is no ground for alarm. According to the assurances we have in private and mercantile letters from the most eminent merchants of America, we are now satisfied that the whole affair is a mere bottle of smoke. There is, we are convinced, ample room for the re-opening of negociations upon the basis of compromise; and private letters assure us, that negocia- tions will be renewed, and none can question but that the present aspect of matters directly points to a successful issue. Mr. Cass's resolutions, on which he gave veut to his absurd speech, passed the Senate unanimously, because they simply asked for information as to the state of the country's defences, and were not in themselves seriously objectionable. But the sentiments uttered in the course of the debate on those resolutions paved the way for the in- troduction of others of a more belligerent character. They have, however, ail been referred to committees, where they can either be quietly and decently interred, or acted upon as may be deemed advisable hereafter. At present, they can only be regarded as sentiments of individuals, deriving an undue importance from the place wherein they are uttered. In the meantime Mr. Calhoun has made his appearance in the Senate, and, with a firm maintenance of his position upon the Oregon question, he advocates a peaceful policy, and he holds the balance of power. He has recently taken the opportunity 10 explain the position he intends to occupy on the Oregon dispute, and there seems to be no doubt but that his view is one which will commend itself entirely to the satisfaction of all tfte sub- stantial interests of America. He contemplates anything but hostilities; being well satisfied that a calm considera- tion by both parties can but bring a satisfactory issue. By an extraordinary express of the Morning Herald's. dis- patches from Washington to New York, we are furnished with particulars of an important debate which occurred in the United States Senate on the 30th. OUT news from Washington is, therefore, one day later than is affiurded by any of the latest editions of the American papers received by this arrival; and the debate to which we refer is of the greatest consequence. It took place on the intro- duction ol some resolutions by Mr. Hannegan, ot Indiana, and which were to the effect, that all the country now in dispute is the property and part and parcel of the United States, and that there exists no power in the American government to resign or transfer such country, and that the abandonment orsurrender of any portion of the territory of Oregon would be an abandonment of the honour, character, and best interests of the American people. The discussion of these resolutions came on in the Senate on the 30th, and Mr. Calhoun met them by proposing a series of resolutions as amendments, and which are the very reverse of those of the Indiana senator. Mr. Calhoun's resolutions declare that the President has the power, with the advice of the Senate, to make treaties, and that the settlement of boun- dary lines is embraced in this power—that in offering in a spirit of peace and harmony the 49th parallel as the divid- ing line between the United States and Great Britain, the President exercised powers rightfully belonging to him, and acted for the best interest of the country. The general tone of the American papers received by this arrival is decidedly pacific, and this without being in receipt of the debate in the Senate on the 30th. The Courier and hnqutrer, in its article of the 31st, and issued purposely far ranamiss*vn to England, soras up matters as follows the political sky, overcast during the summer, by reason, of the annexation of Texas, and the menaced resentment of Mexico, had scarcely become clear again, when graver and more serious concern is inspired by the aspect of our diificul. ties with Great Britain. On this head we design neither un- necessarily to alarm nor unduly to impart confidence which we do not ourselves feel in the ultimate preservation of peace f>ef.w^en. 'wo ^0!,ntries. Hitherto we have expressed the belief that all might be well, notwithstanding present ad- verse appearances. We are now bound to say that our con- fidence of such a result is somewhat diminished, not because of any change in the facts of the case, but because of the temper in which, on both sides of the Atlantic, it seems likely to be treated. The recommendations of the presidential message respecting Oregon were all subordinate to what might be done without any violation in letter, or in spirit, of tne treaty of joint occupation; but in both houses of Congress bills have been introduced which go beyond these recom- mendations, and do infringe up)n the treaty stipulations. These indeed as yet are only bills, and of course lack the sanction of laws; but that reported by Mr. Douglas in the House of Representatives is from the committee on territories and comes tb .ef.. with weight before the house. It proposes the immediate « vision of a territorial government over the whs>'s of the territory of -Orcgon-<—thus asserting or appeariug .o assert, the sovereignty of the XJuited States over the region in question, and not simply, as it might rightfully do, over the citizeus of the United States there resident. It also con- templates prospective grants of land to settlers—another assertion of sovereignty. These provisions may possibly be modified so as to make them conform to the president's re- commendations but the mere proposal of them is an unfa- vourable indicat;on. The discussion on this project and others connected with this dispute will not come ou in Con- gress till about the middle of next month, and while this is at its height, will come back upon us, by the steamor of the 4th of January, the comments of the English press ou tbe Pre- sident's Message. If the tone and temper of them shall be such as we apprehend, they will reach here at the very mo- ment when exasperation will most certainly be produced thereby, and therefore mischief. It is not moreover calcu- lated to smooth the difficulties that one honourable senator of the United States has thrown down the gauntlet publicly for California, as next iu order for annexation to the United States; nor that another proposed, though he has since with- drawn' «he proposal, that this government should institute negociations with Spain for the purchase of Cuba. Combin- ing these manifestations with the absolute claim for all Oregon, there may be some hesitation on the part of England, even if otherwise well disposed, to renew in any shape an overture to this government for the cession of any part of Oregon. On the other hand, and notwithstanding these un- favourable manifestations, there is a strong impression that if Ene'and should renew the offer made by this government and rejected by Mr. Pakeuhara, of the 4yih parallel, with the freedom of the ports in the Straits of Kuca—it must be accepted by us." All private letters agree that Mr. President Polk has no idea of actual war, though be may Polk it to that seeming tune. The Courier and Enquirer says—" Mr. Polk and his friends did not intend, and do not desire war. They know that we cannot have the whole of Oregon' without war and knowing this, and not desiring war, they re- commended no war measures, but were determined to arrange the whole matter peaceably as soon as they had made oat of it all the political capital they could. Others who really desire war, and others again who are willing to exhibit Mr. Polk in the unenviable position of gambling for a re-election by incurring the risk of war, have taken the measure out of his hands, and are pushing it to a point whence the consequences may be most fearful." CALIFORNIA.—Many of the New York papers portend, as a matter of certainty, the ultimate possession of California by the United States, and say, that It is understood that Mr. Slidell, the American minister to Mexico, is fully authorised to arrange the boundary with that republic upon the most liberal tooting. His powers in this respect are believed to be so extensive that under them he may negociate a transfer to the United States of the right of Mexico to Upper California. MEXICO.-We have no direct advices from Mexico of any interest. It is stated at Washington that conferences are going on between Mr. Pakenham and Mr. Buchanan, upon the subject of the measures now proposed to be taken by the Congress for the protection ot settlers in and emi- grants to Oregon, for the extension of American jurisdic- tion over them and the Indian tribes, and for the establish- ment of a territorial government over Oregon- Also that the dispatches received by the government from Mexico are deemed to be of such importance as to render neces- sary some immediate movements on tbe part of Congress. Measures will be recommended by the President with a view to the prosecution of American claims upon Mexico to a speedy issue. Also that Bancroft, the Secretary ot the Navy, is preparing a report on the subject of the navy which will be communicated to Congress by the president, and which will recommend the immediate finishing and equipment of war steamers. And finally, that Mr. Parrott has been appointed secretary of legation to Mr. Slidell, in Mexico. There is no news of any moment from Texas. LATEST COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.- IMPORTANT.—NBW YOUK, DEC. 31.—Within the past two weeks there has been a very great decline in quotations for all kinds of stocks, good, bad, and indif- ferent. The best state stocks have fallen off several per cent. The cause of this decline in the market value of the sound dividend paying state stocks can be lound in the scarcity of money and critical condition of our foreign affairs. There have been so many reports afloat in relation to the Oregon question, that the stock market during the past month has been in a very feverish state, and prices very much unsettled. Several panics have taken posses- sion of operators. There are, it has been computed, about 200,000 of dollars (in round numbers) of stock of the different states now afloat. Of this amount two- thirds are, it is quite safe to assume, held in England. On many of these, the interest has been, and is regularly paid, and as the period comes round for their redemption, they are punctually redeemed. A case in point's the re- demption at this moment of some 1,500,000 dollars by the state of New York, ot which almost all was held abroad. But if war should supervene between the two countries, and it should by any possibility be conducted on the part of the British, as there has been some threatening that such a war would be, by burnings and devastations, might there not be dauger in a country, where the popular vote gives power and makes the law, that a stop would be put to the payment either of interest or of principle to those to whom it would only furnish fresh means of annoyance and injury to ourselves ? We desire not to press the point, contenting ourselves with suggesting it for the deli- beration of those whose influence, for peace or war, is certainly not inconsiderable. It is confidently stated that the state of Pennsylvania will meet her interest. The tendency of Exchange on England is upward. In cotton little is doing here, or indeed elsewhere-tbe prices rang- ing mostly ahove the orders. The receipts at all the ports of the United States, for the last five weeks, have been lighter than in any corresponding period for several years, and shipments therefore have been light too; hence there are few cotton bills of exchange offering. The demand for cotton in this market at present is conhned to the wants of manufacturers, and large parcels could not be sold at present prices. There was some enquiry for flour for ex- port this morning. Southern flour is held at advanced rates. Corn is dull. Nothing has been donp in rice this week; the market is heavy. In the produce market prices have dropped generally since the last steamer. Provisions are extremely dull, and former prices but feebly supported. The New York Express, in its commercial article for the steamer, says-" Since the sailing of the last steamer there has been quite a panic in the money market. The war discussion in the Senate of the United States, and the propositions submitted in the house, in relation to the Oregon question, have created quite a sensation both at Washington and in this city. The government have drawn very heavily on their deposit banks, and nearly half a million of dollars have been transmitted to New Orleans, mostly in specie, to meet the expenditure of the govern- ment at that point. There is nothing in the state of the country (a war excepted) to bring about embarrassment. Trade, for the last year, has not been expanded produce of all descriptions commands high prices in all parts of the country, and it is readily turned into money. The last advices from Europe had the effect to reduce the prices of flour and all descriptions of bread stuffs, and to check ex- ports. Within a few days holders have consented to a reduction, and shipments have again commenced." OVERLAND MAIL.—The Overland Mail has just arrived, by extraordinary express, with letters and papers to the 15th ult., from Bombay. The dates are, Calcutta, Dec, 7; Bombay, Dec. 15. The mail was brought to Suez by the Bentinek steamer, and landed there on the 4th instant. Her dates are-Calcutta, Dec. 8; Sandheads, Dec. 10; Madras, Dec. 14; Point de Galle (Cevlon), Dec. 19; Aden, Dec. 29 Suez, Jan. 4. The political news is not important. No collision had taken place on the buttej. the Sikh troops had approached the frontier, but had made no further demonstration. The Governor General and Sir H. Gough, the Commander-in-chief, met on the 26th of November; the former is said to have suspended the forward movements of the latter, and is supposed to have opened negociations. The general expectation was, that Sir H. Hardinge would not be able to preserve peace and that a battle would be neces- sary to make the Sikh troops aware &f their own weak- ness. To guard against apprehended acts of hostility on the part of the Sikhs on the frontier of Scinde, the Bombay Government had ordered the concentration of 8000 men in that direction, in order to be ready for all emergencies. Lord Elphinstone ha. reached Bombay, from Ceylon, on his way to join the Governor-General on the North-west frontier. The following is a list of the names of the passengers who left Bombay, for Suez, by the steamer on the evening of Dec. 15 :—Lieutenant Hawkins, Bombay Artillery; Captain J. B* M. Gillan- ders, 2d Bombay Eunppean Light Infantry Captain J. A. Light, 3d Madras Native Infantry; and Lieut. F. L. Magniac, 5th Madras Light Cavalry.
