BRECONSHIRE. Freehold Property in the immediate Neighbourhood of Merthyr Tydvil and Dowlais Iron Works, for Sale. Has the pleasure to announce that he has received in- structions from the Proprietor, to submit by PUBLIC AfJCTIONT, On TUESDAY, the 10th of MARCH next, At the CASTLE HOTKL, MERTHYR, at Three o'Clock in the Afternoon, subject to the Conditions of Sale as shall be then and there produced, ALL THAT COMPACT FREEHOLD ESTATE, called LLYNGEREN, situate in the Parish of Vaynor, in the occupation of Mr. John Richards, containing by admeasurement 113 A. 2 R. 6 P. of EXCELLEN T MEADOW, ARABLE, PASTURE, and WOOD LAND, all well fenced, and within a ring fence, in a good state of cultivation. The Farm House and Buildings are all nearly new, and conveniently arranged. This Property (independent of being contiguous to a populous district, with the best of Markets, and where Manure is to be had at a cheap rate, with the Main Road from Dowlais and Vaynor to Brecon passing through the centre of the Estate), has several other peculiar advantages attached to it; the River Taff Fechan, famed for its abundant fine Trout, bounds it on the East for a considerable distance on the South by Lands of Nash Vaughan Edwards, Esq., and an ex- tensive Sheep-walk and on the North by Lands of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart. The Pasture Land has the ad- vantage of a good supply of water from a Mountain stream on the North, which may also be converted to irrigate a large portion of the Land. There are also valuable Sand-pits of the finest quality, which will become available, and to return a considerable annual income, as the intended Rail-road between Brecon and Merthyr passes through the Property. This forms a most desira- ble investment, as Property in such a populous vicinity must increase in value annually. For further particulars apply to Messrs. Maybery, Williams, and Cobb, Solicitors; or to the Auctioneer, Belle-vue Place, Brecon. February 9th, 1846. Rowland's Macassar Oil. rpHIS faithful assistant of nature has, from intrinsic X worth alone, duting the last half century, acquired the ESPECIAL PATRONAGE of the several SOVEREIGNS and COURTS throughout Europe, and with B*NK, FASHION, and DISCERNMENT, supersedes all preparations of professedly imilar import. This Oil is pre-eminently successful in nourishing, improv- ing and beautifying the Human Hair, in all climates, and in all stages of exis&nce. The following is a brief notice of soms of its PRINCIPAL VIRTUES, as a mild, stimulative, cor- rective, and preservative agent for the Hair. The subject is more fully treated in a small Pamphlet which accompanies each bottle of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and wherein im- portant hints and advice will be found on the Culture of the Hair of Infancy, and on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of human life. INFANCY. Its balsamic properties nourish the Hair in its embryo state, accelerate its growth, sustain it in maturity, and con- tinue the possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy, to the latest period of human life. Genial and purifying, it dispels all scurf and impurity, and renders the use of the fine comb unnecessary. BALDNESS. Its re-productive powers are constantly and surprisingly shown in cases of Baldness from whatsoever cause arising (proved by numerous testimonials open for inspection at the Proprietors,) in eliciting, nuerriugiy, from the latent stem the active progression of vitality, so that in numerous in- stance* where other specifics have been tried in vain, ROW- LAND'S MACASSAR OIL has superseded the eruanenu of art by re-instating in full pleotitude of beauty the permanent graces and utilities of nature. GREY HAIR. Its nourishing properties are eminently successful in the PREVENTION of Grey Hair, and in the RESTORATION to its original colour-also proved by testimonials. WHISKERS AND MOUSTACHIOS. Its extraordinary fecundity is singularly displayed in creating these ornaments of mauhood, and in the production of strong and beautiful Hair. CURL AND EMBRLLISHMENT. Its invigorating properties induce a strong tendency to curl: to Artificial Hair it imparts a look of vitality and light- ness and sustains the Head Dress in all the beauties of decorative formaticlI. glossy curl. and silky softness, unimpaired by the heated atmosphere of crowded rooms, or damp weather. SEA-BATHING AND VIOLENT EXERCISE. After indulging in either of these, so apt in their conse- quence (by opening the pores) to exhaust the nourishing matter secreted at the roots or bulbs of the hair, the Macassar Oil will be found most efficacious, both in preserving and in immediately restoring the hair to its usual appearance of health with renovated brightness. CLIMATE. This inestimable Oil preserves its virtues unimpaired by change of climate, and is alike in use from the frigid to the torrid zone, from the assemblies of St. Petersburg to those of Calcutta and the remote East. C A U T I O N UNPRINCIPLED SHOP-KEEPERS, for the sake of gaining (rifle more profit, vend the most spurious trash under the title of MACASSAR OIL:" some under the implied sanction of Royalty. It is therefore imperative on Purchasers to see that the words ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL are in two lines on the Wrapper of each bottle, and on the inside of the Wrap- per nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters. Price 3s. 6d.—7s.—Family Bottles, (equal to4 small,) 10s. 6d. and double that size, 21s. per Bottle. Sold by the Proprietors A.

Frampton's Pill of Health. THE BEST APERIENT AND ANTIBILIOUS MEDICINE FOR GENERAL USE IS FRAMP- TON'S PILl> OK HEALTH, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by gentle relaxation, without griping or prostration of strength. They remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are highly grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, relieve langonr and depression of spirits; while to those of a full habit and free livers, who are coz.,tintially suffering from drowsiness, heaviness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer ad vantages that will not tail to be appreciated. This medicine has for many years received the approval of the most respectable classes of society, and in confirmation of its efficacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout, with permission to publish it, and, if requisite, to refer any respectable person to its author:- Heavitree, Exeter, April 24 1844 To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London P fee! Pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsolicited testimony to the excellence of your ■ Frampton's Pill of Health, which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior general medicine. The widow of an officer an e certy lady, and near relative of mine, has used ttiem-very rarely having recourse to other medicine for a long period of years; she has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person to adopt them and supplied the first box herself, they tiave proved of extraordi- nary efficacy. I think that perhaps there is scarcely any other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value as a 'friend in need,'—certainly none possessed of superior claims.

For both Sexes, entirely Vegetable, prepared from the Prescrip- tion of that eminent Physician, Dr. SYDENHAM, who was justly styled the Father of Modern Medicine." A MOST valuable remedy for Bilious and Liver Com- plaints, Indigestion, Head-Ache, Giddiness, Loss of Appetite, Flatulency, Gout, Rheumatism, Heartburn, Spasms, Lowness of Spirits, Costiveness, &c. These celebrated FAMILY l'LLLS have been faithfully dis- pensed by the present Proprietor for more than 30 years, and have obtained from all grades of the community a character and reputation which no medicine of a similar nature has hitherto acquired. Dr. SYDENHAM'S PILLS being a most happy combination of vegetable matter, and not contain- ing any mercurial preparation, require neither confinement nor alteration in diet during their use. Moderate exercise in- creases their good effects. They may be taken at any time when the bowels are costive aud uneasy; and Sydenham's Pills should be taken by persons of all ages, as they assist digestion, correct excesses of the table, give a healthy action and tone to the stomach, remove all coniptaints to which the digestive organs are subject, and will lead to health and cheer- ful old age. Families and the Proprietors of Boarding Schools should never be without an adequate supply of this admirable Family Medicine, as SYDENHAM'S PILLS may be resorted to with the greatest safety and success, on the first appearance of indis- position, and by adopting this practice, many serious and too often fatal attack. will be entirely prevented. TIuI following it the opinion of an eminent Physician practis- ing extensively in Bristol and Clifton- p-n ^ave the composition of Dr. Sydenham's "ills, and consider them a very valuable remedy in all com- ptatuts to which the Digestive Organs are subject, especially K-L8 a^ecli°ns, and an innumerable variety of diseases which are the consequences of an irregular and imperfect ttonof the organs of digestion." • # I he most delicate Females, the young and aged, prefe SYDENHAM'S PILLS to most other aperients, as they are beneficial to their general health, improve their appearance, and being a VEGETABLE PREPARATION, they are at once M.M. safe, and effectual. tae high opinion entertained of SYDENHAM'S FAMILY PItLS, by many of the most eminent of the Faculty, in pre- practice,(as well as the number of gratifying Testimonials '"oprietor is constantly receiving from persous of the highest respectability and standing in society who have been materially beuefitted by their use,) renders any eulogium on 'ei' merit8 superfluous, and must convince the most sceptical of the superior properties of this valuable established medi- cine, acknowledged by thousands as the best, safest, and most effectual Family Medicine now before the Public. These Pills are sent abroad by the London exporting houses. Merchants and Captains of vessels will find them an almost indispeosible acquision to their Medicine Chests, they are .so prepared as to retain their medicinal properties in any extreme of climate.

THE OVERLAND MAIL. GLORIOUS VICTORY OF THE BRITISH TROOPS. Our [the Ileralcrs] express in anticipation of the Over- land Mail from India,bringing advices from Bombay of the 17th January, and Calcutta the 9tb, conveys news of one of the most important victories ever achieved by British arms in the East; purchased, we regret to add, by a loss so severe as to qualify very largely the feelings of exulta- tion with which we should otherwise have regarded such a triumph. The result of the battle which was in progress when the last advices came away is, that the British troops have defeated the Sikhs and driven them across the Sutlej, with a loss of 100 guns and upwards of 20,000 men. Unhappily our own casualties hpve been, if not propor- tionably, at least extremely severe upwards of 3000 of our troops have been either killed or wooaded. We have no official accounts by this mail, and those of our Indian contemporaries differ to some extent; but we gather from them that from sixty to seventy commissioned officers have been killed and ninety wounded. Among the former are the gallant Sir Robert Sale, and several of the staff of the Governor-General, who appears to have had a narrow escape himself. On the 21st our army, having marched 16 miles, was joined bj^.a reinforcement of 5000 men, when, the c,)iit, vas re with iit&gfeatest fury, alid with scarcely 3S^iS^»off,ibver the greater part of the 21st and 22d. About one o'clock in the after- noon of the latter day, the entrenchments of the enemy were stormed under a tremendous fire from all their batte- ries they themselves were forced to retire from all points —their whole camp equipage, and between 90 and 100 of their guns, falling into our hands. Sir Henry Hardinge and Sir Hugh Gough both commanded divisions. Up to the 29th the enemy remained on the British side of the river, the Anglo-Indian army waiting for reinforcements to follow up their victory to Lahore. Sir Charles Napier was on his way up the Indus to head a force, of from 10,000 to 15,000, on the Moultan frontier, and co-operate with the army under the Commander-in-Chief and Governor- General. The Calcutta Star estimates the force of the Sikhs at 80,000; but all accounts agree in describing the British troops at not more than 20,000. The Calcutta correspondent of the Herald gives a de- tailed statement of the battle, which we give in a slightly abridged form. The Sikh array, after crossing the Sutlej on the 12th to 14th of December, remained encamped in the neighbour- hood of Ferozepore for several days. They did not attack the force there under General Littler, because, so they said, they scorned to fight an enemy so far inferior to them in point of numbers knowing them as we now do, it must be deemed fortunate that they did not, as it would have been exceedingly difficult for Sir John Littler, with about 7000 men, mostly native infantry, to oppose a body of 60,000 or 80,000 men, who have been found nearly a match for the more powerful force after- wards brought against them. Meantime, while the Sikhs were lying idly about Ferozepore, or contenting themselves with stopping the dawks, and plundering the country, the Governor Gen- eral and the Commander in Chief were advancing by forced marches from Umballah, to give them battle, and arrived at the village of Moodkee, about 22 miles from Ferozepore, on the afternoon of the 18th December. Hardly had their tired soldiers reached the camp ground, when it was announced that the Sikhs, 30,000 strong, were coming down upon them. The troops immediately formed and went out to meet the coming foe. They were received with a heavy fire from the enemy's guns, but soon overcame all resistance, forcing the Sikhs to retreat with great slaughter, and the loss of 17 guns. The enemy appears to have had about 20,000 cavalry in this battle, but it proved neady worthless. The follow- ing morning Rajah Lal Singh was desirous of renewing the attack, but as the cavalry declined following him, he could do nothing. No further operations took place until the 21st. when our force, now reinforced by Sir John Littler with 5000 men from Ferozepore, and by the 1st European Regiment and her Majesty's 29th, moved forward again, leaving its camp standing at Moodkee. It advanced in four divi- sions the right commanded by Sir Hugh Gough, the left by Sir John Littler, the centre by Major General Gilbert, and the rear by Sir Henry Smith. At about two p.m. it came upon the enemy, who occupied several fortified positions on very strong ground, near the village of Feuzshuhur. His numerous guns committed great havoc among the advancing force, which had nothing to oppose to them but light horse artillery. Gen. Gilbert with the centre division, carried that part of the Sikh position which it fell to his lot to attack in most brilliant style but it would appear that the other portions of the force were not equally successful. Many of our men were killed by the explosion of mines which had been dug in front of the enemy's guns. Night came on and put a temporary stop to hostilities but while the British force was preparing to bivouac, the Sikhs brought their cannon to bear on that part of the field where the Governor General and the Commander in Chief were resting with the staff around them. The troops imme- diately rose and drove off the enemy, but not before his fire had done great execution. There was then a lull for an hour or two; when, at daybreak, the fight was renewed by General Gilbert's division again advancing to attack the positions which had not been previously carried. This battle of the 22nd December seems to have been the fiercest and bloodiest of all. After the enemy had been driven from his positions, he rallied, and thrice returned to the attack, and was as often driven back at the point of the bayonet. Finally, the steady bravery of our troops prevailed, and the enemy, broken and dis- comfited, precipitately retreated towards the Sutlej, leaving behind his camp and all his guns, except ten, which the want of cavalry compelled our troops to allow him to carry off. Thus far our accounts are all very clear, & they are generally corroborated by the Governor General's proclamation from Ferozepore, on the 25th December. The loss sustained by the British troops in these opera- tions has been lamentably large. This is in a great measure to be attributed to the number and weight of the enemy's guns as contrasted with ours. The number of officers killed is probably not less than 60, and of the wounded about 150. Our total loss is vaguely estimated at 2000 killed, and as many wounded. This is terrible but it is but trifling compared with that of the enemy, which probably is not less than 12,000 or 15,000 killed and wounded. The loss of such men as Sir Robert Sale, who is among the slain, adds to the cost of our victory. Major Broadfoot,- the political agent, on the frontier, must be an irreparable loss at the present crisis, when the information which he possessed is so much needed. The Governor-General's staff suffered very severely in the night attack upon their bivouac. One letter stated that Captain HarJinge was the only one who had escaped unhurt; but I believe, Mr. C. S. Hardinge, the private secretary, was equally fortunate, letters having been re- ceived from him dated after the battle. Sir Geo. Pollock has lost a son in this affair, Lieut. R. Pollock, of the Artillery, who was shot down while directing his gun on the enemy. It appears that the Governor-General him- self had a narrow escape from capture, being nearly grabbed,"—his own expression, I believe,-during the night attack on his bivouac. The Commander-in-Chief had a horse shot under him. Prince Waldemar of Prussia is said to have been in the field, and his medical attendant, Dr. Hoffmeister, is among the slain. It appears that the force advancing from Loodianah, 5000 or 6000 men, had a separate affair on the 19th, with some 20,000 Sikhs, whom they fell in with on the road, and whom they drove into the Sutlej. The very latest reports from the frontier (I write at eleven a.m. of the 9th) are of a conflicting nature: one being that the Sikhs have crossed the river, dispersed, and fled to their homes another that they are strongly posted on this side the Sutlej, opposite Hurrekee, deter- mined to await another battle; and even as 1 write comes another, which is perhaps worthy of a better name than that of a report, as it is from good authority, that the Commander-in-Chief had marched to attack the enemy, who was posted opposite Hurrekee, but who de- camped across the river. Another report, hardly worthy of credit, is, that our army had crossed the river. It ap- pears likely, however, that it will ere long do so. A number of officers (24 Artillery) have been ordered up by dawk from this presidency (Lieut.-Col. Irvine, and Cap- tains Duncan and Goodwyn, of Engineers, are among them), which looks as if there was something more to be done. While our armies have been combatting an open and avowed enemy on the banks of the Sutlej, it has been discovered that hidden foes have been tampering with some of our native soldiers at Dinapore. The affair will, of course, be thoroughly investigated, and punishment rigorously dealt out where it is deserved. It appears to be suspected that the court of Gwalior is at the bottom of the matter, but I do not know on what ground the sus- picion is founded. The following brief notice of some of the officers who bravely fell will, probably, prove interesting SIR ROBERT HENRY SALE, G.C.B.—This much la- mented officer was the second son of the late Colonel Sale, for many years an active officer of the East India Company, by the daughter of Henry Brine, Esq., of Buckden, Huntingdonshire. He was born in 1782, and married in 1809, the daughter of the late George Wynch, Esq.* Before proceeding further we may add that the name of Lady Sale in military history will take as pro- minent a position as that of her lamented husband. Sir Robert entered the army as ensign in the 36th Foot in 1795, being then but 18 years of age. He served at the Mr. Winch formerly resided at Clemeostoue, near Bridgeud, in this county. battle of Marbarelly, and siege and storming of Seringa- patam in 1799: for the latter he receivel a silver medal. Was present throughout the campaign in the Uznaud country in 1801 served at the storming of the Travan- core lines in 1809; at the captare of tfie Mauritius in 1816, and of Rangoon in 1824. Particularly distin- guished himself at the storming of the stockades near Kemmendine, and in conducting the operations of the 5th, the 8th, and the 15th of December, 1824; commanded a brigade at the reduction of Bassein, &c., in 1825. Was nominated a C.B. for his conduct at Prolue and Malone in 1825-6. In October 1838 he was appointed to the command of the 1st Bengal brigade o: the army up the wrif' formed the advance of the campaign in Anghanistan. Commanded the Btorming party at Ghuz- nee, under the late Lord Keane, on the '23d of July, when he was severely wounded. Shortly afterwards he was nominated a K.C.B., and received the rank of major general m Afghanistan. He commanded the force sent to subdue the Kohistan country in September, 1840, and after numerous stormings and captures compelled Dost Mahommed Khan to surrender himself to the care of Sir William M'Naughten. In 1842, he defended Jellalabad under very disadvantageous circumstances, and was no- minated a G.C.B. for his service on the occasion. He also received the thanks of parliament for his skill, in- trepidity, and perseverance displayed in the military ope- rations in, Afghanistan. He possessed three medals, viz.-for Gauznee, Cabool, and Jellalabad. He closed his career in the arms of victory, after nearly 52 years' service, and at the advanced age of 63. The 13th Foot, which Sir Robert comcnandeu?#iij,arned to this conntry a few months since. Sm JOHN M'CASKILL.—This gallant officer entered the service March 10, 1797. He was at the landing at Port Rico and siege of St. Juan, May, 1797; on passage to India, when the fleet, under convoy of Sir T. Troubridge, was attacked by the French Admiral Linois, in the Marengo, 84, a heavy frigate, and another ship, August, 1805. He was present at the siege and capture of Forts Sattarak, Singbure, Woosutck, and a great many others. Also at the reduction of the strong fortress of Shalopore, and the attack and dispersion of 5000 of the Peshua's choicest troops, strongly posted with their guns, 15 of which they captured under the walls of the ^rt. May 11 1818. J CAPTAIN HERRIES, 3D LIGHT DRAGOONS"—Under- stood to be related to the Right Hon. J. C. Herries. He was one of the aids de camp to the Governor General. He entered the army in 1835, and he also served as aides de camp to Sir Joseph Thackwell at Maharajpore, on the 29th December, 1843. MAJOR BALDWIN, 31ST FOOT, whose name appears in the list of the killed, was one of the bravest as well as the most remarkable officers in the British army. His service had extended to a period of 36 years. He was at the siege of Flushing with the 36th, served the campaign of 1815 with the 14th, and was present at the battle of Waterloo. He was engaged with the 31st throughout the campaign of 1842 in Afghanistan, under General I Pollock, including three important actions for the latter he received a medal. He was the senior officer engaged in storming the left heights of the Rass on the occasion of the battle of Zegeeri. Major Baldwin was one of the officers present at that lamentable catastrophe the burning of the Kent East Indiaman in the Bay of Biscay, on the 1st March, 1825. LIEUT. R. H. POLLOCK, 4TH BRIGADE HORSE ARTIL- LERY, it appears was the son of Gen. Sir George Pollock, and nephew to the Lord shief Baron. GEORGE WYNDHAM KNIGHT BRUCE, of the 16th or Queen's Lancers (described as Lieutenant), son to Vice- Chancellor Knight Bruce and nephew to J. Bruce Pryce, Esq., of Duffryn, near Cardiff. This young gentleman had only entered the army in 1844. The Governor-General in adverting to the conduct of the native troops in our service pays them the highest compliment. Thanks," says he in the general orders published on the 30th December, "are justly due to the brave infantry of the native army, whose valour so mainly contributed to these victories, and he cannot witbhold his admiration for the patience and perseverance with which they endured privations inseperable from forced marches." General Littler ulso bears full testimony to their fidelity. "The native troops," he adds, "under the numerous temptations to which they have been exposed for several months past by Seikh emissaries, have evinced their loyalty to the British Government in a most remarkable manner, not a single desertion having taken place, since the enemy crossed the Sutlej, that has come to my knowledge. They have maintained the character of the Bengal army in dis- playing courage and bravery under a heavy fire." This is satisfactory in another point of view, because it is well known that our Indian empire must be maintained chiefly by the aid and concurrence of the natives.

Had any such intimation of ag- gression as that given in March last by Sir C. Napier I been made by other parties, the present advance of the Sikhs would unquestionably have been ascribed to it. How far they may have been moved to take the initiative when attack was threatened by one who ought not to have spoken without warrant, however unwarrantably he may have spoken, we shall not attempt to decide. The follow- ing troops have left Bombay for Scinde within the last fortnight:—A company of Foot Artillery her Majesty's 17th Regiment; 1st Bombay European Regiment (Fusi- liers) 3d, 4th, 7th, and 11th Regiments N.I, and the 9th N.I., proceed thither with as little delay as possible. The 10th and 20th N.I. have been ordered to the Presi- dency, to be in readiness for embarkation for Kurrachee, should their services be required in Scinde. (From the Overland Bombay Times, of Jan. 15.) We are once more in the midst of war, and on the eve of mighty conquests. One of the most bloody and severe -would we could add brilliant and successful—actions has been fought by our troops in which we were engaged since the foundations of our empire have been laid in India. The increasing troubles in the Punjaub had oc- casioned the accumulation of a heavy mass of troops on our north-west frontier; the Governor General deter- mined, apparently, to avoid advance, and was anxious for once honestly to carry out the peaceful and anti- aggressive policy we so constantly professed and so rarely practised. The invasion of our territories by the enemy was so eminently insane, so certain to ensure their de- struction, that however disorderly marauders, or a rabble soldiery, might annoy us, inconvenience beyond this was unlooked for; prepared as we were to avenge it, and to protect ourselves against it. A large body of Sikh troops -about 60,000-having approached Ferozepore on the 15th, the division, 7,000 strong, under Major General Sir John Littler, marched out to protect the city. Several feints were made, but no collision occurred. On the 17th the enemy moved off to intercept the army under the Governor General and Commander in Chief, now hurry- ing forward at the rate of 30 miles a day, to support General Littler. A severe encounter took place near Moodkee, 22 miles from Ferozepore, on the 18th, and the battle was continued with much obstinacy and various results on the 21st and 22nd. Betwixt the evening of the 21st and morning of the 22nd the enemy's entrenched camp, defended by 60,000 men and 70 pieces of artillery, was captured and in the course of these various opera- tions no fewer than 90 guns fell into our hands. Both armies continued for the next eight days inactive, rein. forcements arriving rapidly for both, when about the 29th the Sikhs are reported to have re-crossed the Sutlej. The fighting seems to have been fearfully severe- the loss heavy almost beyond precedent. Above 100 British officers have been wounded, and 61 are killed amongst these latter are Majors General Sir Robert Sale and Sir John M'Caskill, with considerably upwards of 3,000 men killed or wounded. Large masses of troops continue hurrying northward from the Bengal upper provinces, and Sir Charles Napier is in progress towards Sukkur, to the northward of which he will speedily have assembled under him an army of 14,000 to 15,000 men, to co- operate with the grand army under the Commander in Chief in a general scheme of operations against the Pun- jaub, The campaign will probably be a protracted and severe one the results are beyond doubt. The oountry, from the Attock to the Sutlej, from Cashmere to Moultan, will be ours in four months if we desire it. There are reports of risings and disturbances in Upper Scinde, such as might have been expected on the descent of the Sikhs upon our territory. The country is fortunately this year healthy, though the present is the period when sickness usually sets in. India generally is tranquil throughout. Various financial returns of importance have just been published. Lord EUenbotough, it appears, so tar trom diminishing our expediture, in two years added four millions sterling to our debt,' and the expenditure of 1844-45 exceeds the income by nearly two millions. Scinde costs a million beyond its returns. The booty captured at Hyderabad in 1843, amounting to above half a million,has been ordered to be divided amongst the troops The share of Sir C. Napier amounts to about £ 70,000, Great apprehensions are being entertained at Bombay of suffering for want of water, the fall of rain during the last monsoon having been unusually deficient* 0

TzETOTAUSM.—The success of the temperance socie- ties is truly astonishing and truly gratifying, as the hap- piest effects must result from the abandonment of intem- perate habits by all classes of society. The inveterate drunkard will soon stand alone, an object of scorn and contempt, no longer countenanced by society as a good fellow, nor tolerated on the score of eonviviality, he will pass his life of vice without friendship, pointedat as a thing to be avoided and despisedt and stagger into & premature grave unpitied and unwept. Although the health must be benefited by the adoption of temperate habits, yet great caution should be observed, as a sudden abstinence from stimulants sometimes produces so altered an action in the stomach, liver, and biliary secretions, that constipation may ensue; to such we earnestly recom- mend that excellent aperient, Frampton's Pill of Health. One of the greatest impositions practised at the present day by shopkeepers, not only in London, but in every city and town throughout the kingdom, is that of forging the property of another, and imposing on the public the forged article with all the assurance of innocence. We allude ia present instance to those admirable requi- sites for the toilet, the Macassar Oil, Kalydor, and Odonto as prepared by the Messrs. Rowland, and which, from f 6'ri V*61.1 -S reputation, are the constant objects of au u ent imitation. The parties so counterfeiting con- coct some trashy compounds resembling in appearance Messrs. Rowlands' articles, and by adopting the very same names and copying the labels and bills, endeavour to pass off their trash as the GENUINE" Articles, reck- less of the injury which they will inevitably inflict on those who are deceived by using them. We should have imagined that English tradesmen, whose reputation for honour and integrity is proverbial, would not have stooped to the meanness of so base and paltry an action. Never- theless we know for certain, that such is the case, and we would advise all patrons of Messrs. Rowlands' articles to purchase only of respectable venders-and particularly to observe the Caution in their advertisement, which ire. qnently appears in our paper.
