MAN CHESTER H O TJ S E, C A R D I F i. D. PHILLIPS. T?NCOtJHA'GED by the conviction derived from the fact of my increasing Trade, that the Public of CARDIFF and Neighbourhood JPJ can appreciate a liberal-system of Business, I am induced to venture with confidence that on SATURDAY NEXT, 22nd JUNE 1850, and forthcoming days, 1 shall submit for Sale AN ASSORTMENT OF GENERAL DRAPERY, as will, I trust, satisfy my Friends and Patrons that my Establishment is decidedly the cheapest and best. The style, material, and durability of every article claim especial attention." HATS, CAPS, and BONNETS, at Prices really astonishing.

TEAS AT "HOLESALE PRICES. ■ TEA WAREHOUSE, 2, BUCKLERSBURY, CHEAPSIDE, LONDON. TTpIIIS Establishment was commenced in the year 1830. Its successful progress during 20 years has gratified our anticipations. f_ The patronage of the Public has elevated its position to one of the largest in the Trade. Our main object has been, and still is, to supply the Public on TR VDK TERMS. Great and assuming as such an undertaking appears to be, it is obvious that to do Business on y t a. Wholesale Scale, it is necessary to have wholesale appliances. In conformity with these ideas, our locality was chosen in a bye ■thoroughfare, where space and accommodation are sufficient to carry on trade to any extent, but without those merciless and enormous expenses inseparably attached to retail shops in prominent situations, whereby an extravagant profit is rendered necessary. Hence its will be seen that we are in a position to supply the Public on the best and most economical terms—in fact to supply at first hand, by which all intermediate profits are saved. The immense variety of Teas now imported into this country, demands the most scrutinising caution. In this we have considerable advantages, as from the extent of our trade we are enabled to employ a qualified and experienced Person, whose sole duty is that of carefully selecting, tasting, and appropriating Teas for consumption. The tollowing are our present quotations :— Black Teas. d. Green Teas. s. a.

EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS OF THE NEW REMEDY, 17hich has never been known to fail. A Cure effected or the Money returned. DR. DE ROOS' CONCENTRATED GUTTiE VITJ3 has, in all instances, proved a speedy and permanent cure for every Yariety of Disease arising from Sclitary Habits, Youthful delusive Ex cesses', and Infection, such as Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, &c., which from nejlect or improper treatment by Mercury, Copaiba, Cubebs, and other deadly poisons, invariably end in some of the following forms of secondary symptoms; viz., pains and swellings in the bones, joints, and glands, skin eruptions, blotches, and pimples, weakness of the eyes, loss of hair, disease and decay of the nose, sore throats, pains in the side, back, and loins, fistula, piles, &c., diseases of the kidneys and bladder, gleet, stricture, seminal weakness, nervous and sexual debility, loss of memory, and finally such a state of drowsiness, lassitude and general prostration of strength, as, unless skilfully arrested, soon ends in a miserable death. In the prevention and removal of the foregoing symptoms, and;as a restorative of manly vigour, whether deficient from early im- prudence, or residence in hot climates, &c., this medicine has obtained an unparalleled popularity. From its properties in removing leucorrhcea or whites, head- ache, giddiness, indigestion, palpitation of the heart, dry cough, lowness of spirits, barrenness, and all disorders of FKMALES, it is admirably adapted to that class of sufferers, as it not only purifies and strengthens the whole system, but it creates new, pure and rich blood, and soon restores the invalid to sound health even after all other remedies (which have usually a depressing tendency) have failed in this lies the grand secret of its universal success.

DE ROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PILLS Are a certain cure for the above dangerous complaints if recently acquired, as also all diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs gene- rally, whether resulting from imprudence or otherwise, which if neglected invariably result in symptoms of a far more serious cha- racter, and frequently an agonising death. By their salutary action on the acidity of the stomach, they correct bile and indigestion, purify .and promote the Renal secretions, thereby preventing the formation of stone in the bladder, and establishing for life the healthy functions of all these organs.

Fortunately for our country a remedy for these deplorable complaints is at last .found and we hail the time as not far distant when such diseases shall be comparatively unheard of; we hope all persons so afflicted will lose no time in availing themselves of Dr. de Roos' skill." This work is indeed a boon to the public, as it has the two-fold advantage of plainness, and being written by a skilful and duly qualified man, who evidently well understands his subject.

Address—WALTER DE ROOS, M.D., 35, Ely-place, Hol- Ií Hill, London. milE ELEVENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of JL the LIFE ASSOCIATION OF SCOTLAND was held within the Head Office, 2, Hanover Street, Edinburgh, on the 9th instant. Sir JAMES PonREST, Bart., of Comiston, the Chairman of the Society, having taken the chair, intimated that the meeting had been convened in terms of the Society's Contract and Charter, and that the Directors had prepared statements to be laid before the Proprietors of their affairs and transactions during the past year These statements, he confidently hoped, would be considered as highly satisfactory by tne meeting. The Directors' Report for the year ending 5tb April last, with the relative Statements and Balance-sheet, were then read by the Manager. These documents contained full information regarding the Transaction^ Funds, Yearly Revenue, &c., in the various years since the establishment of the Society. During the year "ending 5th April, 1850, there have been issued 732 New Policies for 219,003, the premiums on which amount to £ 8,745 10s. 5d. The New Policies issued during the last four years have been as follows:— Year ending Policies Sums 5th April. Issued. Assured. 1847 157 £ 89,665 1848 300 128,928 1849 496 218,988 1850 732 249,003 The average amount of each Policy on the Society's books is £ 440. The deaths amongst the Assured, during the year ending 5th April, have been 7 per 1000, being considerable lower than the estimated average. A careful investigation of the affairs has been made, and out of the ascertained Surplus, each participating policy-holder of five years' standing will receive back a sum equal to 35 per cent., or 7s. per jEl, of his Annual Premium; or, in other words, in paying his Premium for the current year, only 13s. perjEl will be required. The Chairman then addressed the meeting, and moved that the Report be approved and adopted :—" I trust YOU have now reason to admit that I was not too sanguine in the anticipation I had formed of its favourable reception. You will have observed with "pleasure that the business done by the Association has been steadily advancing during a series of years. During the last four annual periods the number of Policies issued have been re- spectively 157, 300, 496, and 732. The business of the last year— the eleventh since the establishment of the Society—has, it is presumed, exceeded what has been attained by any other Assurance Office in Scotland in its eleventh year. This gratifying result has been .effected, not in ordinary times, but during a "period when all classes of the community were suffering from the effects of commercial depression; and we are, therefore, jus- "tified in anticipating, with some measure of confidence, that our "annual statements will continue to be favourable in the most "propitious times which, I hope, have now arrived. The state- which have been submitted give abundant proof, if any were wanted, of the public confidence in our stability, and of the sonnd- ness and popularity of our principles. Allow me to hope, also, that in the satisfactory state of your affairs, you will see evidence that the Directors have not been inattentive to the duties you have imposed upon them. Large as our business has been, I should inform you that the whole of it, with the exception of a very few transactions, has been effected in England and Scotland. Scotland continues to afford an excellent and increasing business, and England bids fair to be in a very short time a most productive field. The Lon-. don Branch, the establishment of which was last Vear announced, has abundantly fulfilled the expectations we led you to form of its operations, and we are indebted to the London Board for the prudence and diligence they have manifested. With the assistance of the Society's experienced Law Agents, the Directors have succeeded in investing the accumulated funds in a safe and profitable manner. The Investments are yearly in- creasing in importance, and will continue to occupy their con- stant and anxious attention. While on this subject, it may be well to mention that it is not our practice to grant Loans on "Personal Security in connexion with Policies." "JAMES MONCRTEF MBLVILLE, Esq., of Hanlev, having ex- I z, pressed his satisfaction with the state of the Society's affairs, and his confidence in its future prosperity, seconded the motion. The Report was then unanimously adopted. The Vacancies in the Board of Direction were next filled up and after voting thanks to the Office-Bearers and Agents of the Society, and to Sir James Forrest for his conduct in the Chair, the meeting separated.

FRANCE. M. Thiers has returned to Paris from London. The' Duke de Broglie, MM. Guizot, Duchatel, and Durnon set out on Sunday morning for St. Leonard's. 1 The Committee appointed to examine the Bill for in- creasing the President's allowance met again on Saturday, when they heard the Ministers of Finance, the Interior, and Justice. The Committee has adopted the following reso- Itili,)n An extraordinary credit of L,600,000f. is opened for the Minister of Finance, for the expenses incurred in 1849 and 1850 for the installation of the President of the I Republic. This expense to be allocated, half to the credits of 1849, and half to those of 1850." After a deliberation which lasted six hours, the Commission, on the refusal of M. Creton and M. de Mornay to act, appointed M. Flandin- to prepare the report. ———-

INDIA. We have received our usual express from India and China in anticipation of the overland mail, with dates from Bombay of the 11th of May, and Hong Kong of the 24th of April. India is tranquil throughout. No further disturbances have occurred on the Affghan frontier of the Punjaub. The passes between Peshawur and Kohat still remain unsafe. It is generally considered unadvisable to attempt anything further against the Affredees without a regular hill cam- paign. The climate of Peshawur continues delightful, only rather too English as regards rain." The rivers of the Punjaub are much swollen by the melting of the snows. Amongst the missing after the battle of Moodkee was Lieut. Brockman, of Her Majesty's 50th Regiment. He was ex- pected to overtake his regiment on the eve of the battle, but did not, It is now discovered that he was waylaid and murdered by a party of Thugs, one of whom has con- fessed the crime, given the particulars, and pointed out the position of the unfortunate officer's remains, qprhich havo been identified by the presence of some regimental buttons. The Governor-General is stated to be far from well, suffering from chronic dysentery. It is hoped that the climate of the hills may effectually restore his health. Sir Charles Napier reached Simlah on the 21st of April, and his staff on the 26th, after being five months and 21 days under canvas, and having marched about 1,294 miles. Sir Charles is described as being in capital spirits, but looking somewhat worn by his recent fatiguear The Small Cause Act came' into operation at Calcutta on the 1st of May. There are three judges, one at 1,500r. and- two at 1,000r., per month. Nothing has transpired concerning the introduction of this Act at the other presidencies. On the 4th of May the ship Seitha, 600 tons burden, was- burnt at her anchors in Bombay harbour. She was just ready to sail, and there seems to be no doubt that her destruction was the work of incendiaries. This is the tenth vessel belonging to the port of Bombay which has thus perished within these last eight years. The munificent Parsee Knight, Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, has just returned: from a visit of some weeks to Nowsai-ee- the place of his birth. He had been accompanied by his wife and all his far ily, and during his stay had bestowed the sum of £47,000 sterling on public bequests having thus, withiir these twenty years, bestowed jC300,000 in all from the' earnings of his own hands on 'public purposes. Railway discussions continue to occupy the newspapers both at Cal- cutta, and Bombay, Cholera prevails in the interior of the Bombay Presidency, but no further deaths from that cause have occurred among. the European inhabitants and soldiers in the island of Bombay. A suttee is reported to have taken place in the Bombay Presidency, within fifteen miles of one of the Hon. East India Company's Native Courts of Justice. An inquiry is; being made into the circumstances of the case.

DENMARK, The German journals expressed considerable apprehen- sions at the preparations for war by land and sea reported from Denmark. They state that, if Denmark marches troops into Sehleswig, Prussia will immediately occupy Holstein. ———-

UNITED STATES AND CUBA. Lopez had arrived at New Orleans. Official information had been received at Washington of the execution of four Americans at Cuba, and of the imprisonment of between 100 and 200 others. The Spanish authorities refused to allow the commander of the United States' Squadron per- mission to see the prisoners, or to permit them to be taken to the United States for trial. The frigate Congress had sailed from Cuba to intercept the Spanish vessel containing a number of Americans taken prisoners from an island near Yucatan. She was followed by a Spanish man-of-war. Despatches had been sent from Washington to the authorities of Cuba, stating that the arrest of the Americans on any other island will not be recognised nor permitted. The Union understands that despatches had been received from the Consul at Havannah, stating that he had deman- ded the 105 persons taken by the Spanish steam-ship of war Pizarro on the island of Contoy. Contoy is said to be a neutral territory, and the men taken there had not been engaged in open hostilities, and were actually considering the abandonment of the enterprise and returning to the United States. To this demand the Cuban authorities had. made no reply; consequently, the Consul had called upon: his Government for powers to second his demand. Orders had therefore been sent from Washington to despatch such portions of the squadron as could be immediately collected at Havannah to assist in pressing the demand. Should tho authorities refuse, the Consul was instructed to inform the Government, and in the meantime the squadrsn was to obstruct all communications with the port.

CANADA. The session of the Canadian Parliament of Toronto, shows an effective majority on the side of the Ministry. The Opposition was divided in counsel, and feeble in action. The Inspector-General had stated, that the Canadian Go- vernment will not grant freedom of navigation of the St. Lawrence to the United States, unless the latter assent to reciprocity. -————

CHINA. Our accounts from Hong Kong are dated the 24th of April. Reports were afloat as to attempts that have been made on the life of the young Emperor by the late Em- peror's brother.

Srclnnii. — —^ — ABOLITION OF THE IttIS11 VICEROYAMTY.—At a recent meeting of the gaurdians of the South Dublin Union, it was decided that the Petition to the House of Lords against the abolition of the Viceroyality should be intrusted to the Duke of Wellington for presentation. At the meeting of the Board yesterday the following letter, declining to present the Peti- tion, was read from the noble diike- "London, June 10, 1850. F.M. the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to Mr. Shannon. It is the common practice in both Houses of Parliament for Members to comment and observe upon petitions presented to each House, upon the mode in which the petition under discussion originated, upon the signatures to it it contents, whether or not expressing the real opinions of those from whom it is represented as proceeding. "It is impossible for the member who presents a Petition to answer such observations with satisfaction to the House, with credit to himself, or with advantage to the petitioners, unless he should have some relation with the place from which the petition comes, and some knowledge of the petitioners. "The Duke has no relation whatever with the South Dublin Union. He declines, therefore, to present to the House of Lords the petition referred to. Cor. P. Shannon, Esq." CAPTURE OF THE SHERIFF AND POLICE IX CLARK.—Hie Clare Journal, received this morning, contains the following startling announcement.— A rescue of stock seized under an execution at the suit of Synge against Synge took place yes- terday (Wednesday) at Caherhue, when the shei-iff and police acting under him were attacked by the country people and driven into a sand pit, where they were detained until the stock was removed.
