ROYAL NURSERY. BELGROIX'S MACASSAR OIL, Impotted under the sanction of the Lords of the Treasury," for the use of her Most Gracious Majesty, and their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, &c., is a delightfully fragrant and trans- parent preparation for the Hair, and, as an invigorator and beautifier, is beyond all precedent. It bestows the ftoot brilliant gloss, together with a strong tendency to curl: and is the only known specific capable of effectually austaining the Hair in decorative charm, from the heat to crowded assemblies, or the effects of a damp atmos- there; the Original and Genuine. DELCROIX MACASSAR OIL Is protected by two elegantly-executed, correct like- ness, in embossed medallions, of Her Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Albert, with the s ignature and address of the Proprietors. It produces beautifully flowing curls, and by the transcendent lustre it imparts readers the Hair truly enchanting.

The high repute, and consequently great demand for Delcroix & Co.'s Unique Preparations, have excited the cupidity of IMPOSTORS, (destitute alike of honour and of talent QUACKS, who for the sake of GAIN" im- pose by a connivance with unprincipled vendors of perfumery) their pernisious compounds upon the Public as the real "Delcroix's Kalydor" for the complexion, "Delcroix's Macassar Oil" for the Hair, &c. &c.; to frustrate such impositions, Delcroix & Co. have obtained injunctions from the High Court of C hancry against several offenders, also a Chancery Protection Label, which in future will be affixed to every genuine article with the signature of J. DELCROIX, m JMInk, at the to Crown," and the address, 151, New Bond ?fMf, in the centre, surrounded by the words Pro tcc?'&y the Court Cltancery," and at the bottom J. DELCI OIX & Co." in Blue Ink. Purchasers will do well to return all articles not so guaranteed. The extreme difficulty in executing this label, (which is on the princi pie adopted to prevent Forgery in the departments of Government,) precludes the possibility of imitation, and will effectually protect THE NOBILITY FROM IMPOSITION AND TR.VUD. Orders for India shipped on board free of expense. IW The Nobility and Gentry of the Principality are invited to send their orders direct to Messrs. Delcroix & Co., 158, New Bond Street, who, to protect the far-famed eelebrity of their Establishment, will forward them to any part of the United Kingdom, free of carriage, and on like same terms as they supply the Nobility in Town. IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED. Dr. Wright's celebrated Pearl Ointment. Under the sanction and recommendation of eminent Gentlemen of the Faculty, and Patronized by the Nobility, Clergy, Gentry, c.

(if of 20 years' standing), Chilblains, Chapped Handg, Burns, Scalds, Sore Nipples, Bruises, Grocer's Itch, and all Cutaneous Diseases; also an infallible Re- medy for Sore, Weak, and Diseased Eyes. In several Gout and Rheumatic Cases it has proved highly bene- Sc?l. In every one of the above distressing complaints, this valuable Ointment has effected the most triumphant wures after all other means had failed. In addition to Ihe testimonials of surgeons, and certificates by far too numerous for publication, the follow hig CLrtificate from that eminent and distinguished practitioner, Charles Aston Key, Esq., Senior Surgeon of Guy's Hospital, London, cannot fail to establish the conklence of all persons in this excellent remedy, and the Proprietor atrongly recommends all Families, Schools, and Grocers never to be without it. WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. w From the numerous certificates which I have seen of tfc* efficacy of Wright's Pearl Ointment, I have been induced to try it in severe cases of Porrigo, Herpetic Bruptions, the Ulcus Excndens, and some other forms of obstinate cutaneous disease, and I am able to bear testimony to its great utility.

WRIGHT'S CATHARTIC PILLS, prepared from the Doctor's pri- vate Recipe, which will be found so gentle in their ope- ration, that Females, under every circumstance, and even children may take them with the greatest possible ad- vantage and safety.

Sin,—Having retired from active life, I feel a strong repug- nance against appearing before the public in any character but my reluctance has been overcome by a sense of duty 1 owe to my fellow-beings, and the gratitude I feel towards vou. Having served many years in his Majesty s army in India, and subsequently in the Columbian Forces, under the gallant but ill-requitei Bolivar, 1 contracted in those hot climates a disease which has for years inflicted on me the most poignant sutVerings since, however, I have been for tunatc enough to obtain an introduction to you, and having used your Solution of Copaiba a few times, I have been re- lieved beyond my most sanguine expectations, and am now entirely free from pain, or the obstructions to which I was so many years a victim.

MY attention has been directed to a paragraph pub- l?JL lished on the 11 th ult., in a Carmarthen journal. I conclude this paragraph was written by Mr. Harries, of Priskilly, as I am perfectly aware that, according to custom, he is doing all in his power to stir up the manes of the late Trustees of the Fishguard Trust in their representatives against me. These gentlemen were old friends of mine; some of them relations, and a more honourable and disinterested set of men never existed. They merely wanted a good road, but left the manage- ment of it entirely to their officials, viz., lawyers and I feel confident, were they alive, seeing the state of the country, and having this matter properly explained, would have joined me in cxposingit, as I have done, both in public and private. A meeting to investigate the matter was called at the Bull Inn, in Prendergast, some 10 or 12 years ago—a score or two of persons alive can prove it. And when this matter shall have been further investigated, the public will be able to judge who has made the most correct statement—and whose faculties are most impaired by age and ill humour. Mr. Hall, whose report was at length produced, has confirmed my opinion, and as a proof, has recommended that no more money be paid the shareholders. In conclusion, Sir I will only say, that I hope soon to have the pleasure of congratulating the Farmers on the removal of nuisances-as I do now on the quiet state of this neighbourhood. I recommend my old friend Mr. Harries not to be personal on public business. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Sealyham, Oct. 4th. W. EDWARDES. CARMARTHENSHIRE. OCTOBER QUARTER SESSIONS, 1843.

THE PROBABLE RESULTS OF THE…
THE PROBABLE RESULTS OF THE QUEEN'S I VISIT TO FRANCE. [From Fraser s .fgazine.J I That being must, indeea, nave out a sorry and a h mited view of public events, who does not perceive in the late visit of the house of Brunswick to the house of Orleans an event replete with good, and big with joy- ous hope and bright anticipation, For does he not see in it the union of western and constitutional Europe against any policy hostile to right and to freedom which northern powers might be disposed to establish or promote ? And does he not see in it the security and permanency of Belgium as a neutral state—a neu- tral but effectual barrier against aggression and insult r And does he not see in that interchange of kindly looks, affectionate sympathies, and national respect, a secu- rity against the predominance of a Bourbon policy in Spain, and against the establishment of a clashing po- licy towards Portugal, as well as against any unworthy or illiberal and intolerant spirit in the South Seas ? And does he not perceive in it a pledge that French po- licy as to Algeria will not be such as would require from us either protests or loud complaints, menaces or hostilities ? Two of the most honest, well-principled, and admirable men, have met—we mean M. Guizot and Lord Aberdeen. The Queen Victoria was accompanied by the Travelled Thane," and M. Guizot, with his un- ostentatious manners, simple and charming tastes and feelings, and irreproachable life, was there, to receive, with gentlemanly urbanity and statesmanlike dignity, our secretary of state for the foreign department. Tell me not that such an interview was nugatory. Tell me not that it will have no effect on the political or com- mercial relations of the two countries. Tell me not that all the charms of our youthful monarch, and all the high-minded courtesy and affability of her justly es- teemed consort, have produced no effect on the French court, the French press, the French government or the French people ? Tell me not that the visit was one merely of ceremony, or of court friendship, or simply of pleasure and amusement. No it was much more than this. The mere fact of the visit, which was asked by the one, and consented to by the other, was in itself a great event. To ask for a visit, and to pay it, shewed how by pacific, honourable, unambitious, and straight- forward policy, Louis Philippe had gained the confi- dence of the British Conservatives. It proved that they had not forgotten the pains which the French king had taken to preserve the revolution of 1830 from the exces- ses and barbarities of the revolution of 1793. It proved they remembered that Louis Philippe, in order to pre- serve the peace of Europe, had refused the Crown t f Belgium, though offered to his son the Duke of Nem- ours that, from the same worthy motives, he had with- drawn his troops from Ancona, as well as from the walls of Antwerp, the moment the citadel had surrendered; and that he had, year after year, kept under, even at the risk of his own life, and of the lives of his sons, that spirit of aggression, conquest, and war, which, if it had not been repressed, must have involved Europe in years of bloodshed, rapine, and desolation. Do not tell me that this was no national act of respect or con- fidence paid by the Queen of Great Britain, but that it was simply a personal mark of respect and confidence. In constitutional states this is not the course or order of proceeding. In absolute monarchies, the imperial or the monarchial will is every thing. In limited or con- stitutional monarchies the royal will is directed by pub- lic opinion. Not the ever-varying, unstable, and incon- siderate opinion of the multitude, of the thoughtless and ill-informed, but that calm, quiet, deliberate voice which is heard and obeyed, because it is the voice of reason, of national respect, and of public principle.
THE PROPHETS AND -PROFITS…
THE PROPHETS AND PROFITS OF PEEL. I About this time two years ago there was a numerous race of political prophets, who foretold the glorious and the substantial blessings to the country of a Peel Admi- nistration. One of the most prominent was Sir Robert Peel himself, who announced, with the modesty of a great man, that one of his reasons for hoping for an improvement in the condition of the country was the confidence engendered by that change, and the Trust reposed in the present Administration 1" There were parasites also as well as prophets, who were anxious to be seen and heard doing honour to the Minister who, having a large majority, appeared sure of a long, if not a prosperous, tenure of power. The prophets are silenced. Friends are growing scarcer and scarcer, and carry themselves, as the Times once said Sir Robert Peel did, warily, like a man among thieves, keeping his hands in his pockets, and his coat buttoned tight"-not quite trusting the company they are in, and not knowing what they may have to en- counter next. One thing, however, is certain, that whilst one part of Sir Robert Peel's prediction is completely fulfilled in the improved condition of the country," it is unfortunate- ly unaccompanied by trust in the present Administra- tion." And even the improvement we enjoy has its source in the abundance of two harvests, and a large importation of foreign corn, for which, according to the Standard, we are nevertheless to thank Peel and not Providence. It was said that Sir Robert Peel had only to take office to recover the finances-to equalize the income and expenditure of the country. The expenditure keeps provokingly large and the revenue provokingly dispro- portionate. It was said that high principles and a firm and consistent Government would awe the country into tranquillity, subdue the love of change and meddling with everything, and restore peace and prosperity, at least internally. It is, however, as unfortunate as true, that Ireland now requires thirty thousand men to back the Act of Union,—that life and property are no longer safe in Wales,—that the Scottish Kirk has been rent in twain,—and that the League even rises with fresh vigour, amidst the thanksgivingsfor an unexpectedly good har- vest and a revival of trade. This is all very provoking, but it is true, and the prophets of great things to come from the hands of Peel have proved false prophets. But were the prophecies confined to domestic improve- ments and advantages ? So far from it, that nothing was insisted on more confidently than a certain improve- ment in our foreign relations. Peace was in future to be our ruling policy towards all nations, who in return were to put their trust in the new Prime Minister, and make treaties of commerce at his bidding. Provoking again not a treaty has been made. Attempts perhaps have been made, but they have all failed. We have lost both our influence and our friends in Spain, and we have proved our love of peace by invading the territory of our allies in Scinde, and commencing a new war of aggression in India. Such is the bursting of the Peel bubble which the Tories inflated so lustily The hopes, and promises, and benefits of the Peel Administration, have proved to be just so much moonshine in water. This is the state of man to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hope to-morrow blossoms And bears his blushing honour thick upon him: The third day comes a frost, a killing frost; And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a ripening,—nips his root, And then he falls," —not from office that Sir Robert Peel and his col- leagues do not mean to do, till the Repeal question is a little further advanced, and the Anti-Corn-law League can command the abolition of the Corn Law; then perhaps they may think of retiring, provided always that their party shall be somewhat more impracticable and inflexible than themselves, and refuse to be wholly regardless of consistency and principle. We offer no prophecy, however upon this point. The Prophets, then, are all in the wrong. One, and all, from the Orange Tory to the Quixotic Liberal, all are wrong. The Tory Government is proved to be but a very bad copy of the Whig Government. It has brought everything into contempt but agitation and that has thriven and become formidable under Conservative auspices. Then what are the profits of the Peel Administration. Quiet we have not at home. Abroad we see so feeble a policy adopted, that the opportunity has been taken to trample upon a free Constitution in Spain, and of effectually effacing for a long time all hope of an improved and legal commercial intercourse with that kingdom, rich in so many of the productions of the soil which we want the most. In India we have recommended warlike operations, and in a country as difficult as dangerous to hold; and in our commercial legislation generally we have introduced the verv minimum of improvement have introduced the vo'y Mt/M? MM/? of improvement which, as Lord John Russell said, has "settled nothing and unsettled everything." We have gained an Income Tax, to which every year of the Peel Administration gives increased chances of permanency. What then, have we profited by the Peel Administration ? At this period of the Peel Ministry it is profoundly determined to do nothing more. To maintain a res- pectable, decent exterior, to turn neither to the right nor the left, nor go straight on. To talk oracularly of what may be done in certain contingencies. To sit hatching, as it were, as a hen sits upon chalk eggs, with every sign of a motherly attachment to its nest; but with nothing to look to beyond sitting still, and waiting till the patience of John Bull is exhausted If there be any profit in a Government like this, we own a perfect inability to discover it. A Government which perils the safety of the country, its trade, its peace, its happiness, upon exactly that which it cannot control,—the seasons and good harvests at home; and j which, when thc-y do fail, volunteers the aid of the law to diminish our 6upply of every great necessary of life, to enhance its price, to derangè alike our currency and our trade, and to perpetuate agitation in every part of the United Kingdom. Such ie the proiit of a. Peel l Ministry-
CLERICAL AND RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
CLERICAL AND RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. [From Fraser'8 Magazine.] THE BOOK OF COMMON PRATER. We have all felt the charm of visiting our old halll and battle fields, the homes of our poets and pliiloso- phers, the scenes of valour and the haunts of genius- The humblest stranger feels some indistinct delight- some quickening of the pulse-in the contemplation of ground thus consecrated and endeared. But of the millions of educated persons who upon every returning Sunday, at least, turn over the leaves of their Prayer- Books, how few remember or appreciate the solemn beauty of association which our incomparable Liturgy ought to awaken in every thoughtful bosom! Yet surely it cannot fail of being a sweet and consolatory reflection to know that our ritual of prayer and thanks- giving is built up, so to speak, from the hallowed ruina of the primitive ceremonial; that the costly materials of our own courts of gratitude, and supplication, and praise, have been chiefly taken from the dilapidated fabric of the early church. Chrysostom, and Basil, and Gregory, look out from each opening page. And, of a certainty, we shall contemplate the spiritual splendour of our church's decorations with a more tender and affec- tionate eye when we remember that many of those thoughts which shine like precious stones-pearls of great price—upon the walls and gates of her sanctuary, shone with the same lustre upon the inward eyes of ttrs Christians of the first century, When we recollect that in spirit and in truth the petitions which we breathe, and the lessons which we read, and the hymns which we sing, were breathed, and read, and sung, by our ances- tors in the faith sixteen hundred years ago; and that the dying prayer of the martyr Polycarp, "For this, and for all things, I praise thee, I bless thee, I glorify thee, together with Jesus Christ, eternal in the heaven, thy beloved Son, with whom to Thee and the Holy Spirit, be glory now and for future ages;" that this exulting declaration of gratitude and faith may have been a passage in the service of the Primitive Church and familiar to the expiring saint. Nor should we for- get the affecting simplicity of the name by which the Prayer-book is recommended to the love and veneration of all who receive it. It speaks iu the same voice of love to the prince and to the peasant, and rejoices only in being the Book of Common Prayer. The number of Baptist chapels in England and Ire- land is 1,677 of members, 131,272: an increase since last year of 9,630.-At the church in Ware, pursuant to previous intimation, upwards of one hundred persons left their pews after the Nicene creed had been read, and just when the Rev. Mr. Willock was proceeding to the pulpit.The Mayor of Bath, Mr. Blair, in contri- buting to the fund for the assistance of the Rev. Mr. Head, of Feniton, says, "I trust that no faithful minis- ter of Christ will be deterred by this display of prelatical tyranny, from boldly protesting against all false doc- trines & traditions of men, by whomsoever sanctioned." -The Morning Post flatteringly admits the Wesleyan body to be among the least disreputable of the num- berless schismatic associations that scandalize religion." -Mr. W. Lockhart, of Exeter College, Oxford, has become a convert to Roman Catholicism. Mr. Oxlejr, recently a Catholic priest, has joined the English' Church. Lord Eliot, in reply to a Mr. Kemp, tells him that he cannot prevent the erection of bells in the Catholic chapel of St. Paul, Dublin. The legal adviser of the Crown," says his lordship, having been consulted on the subject, is of opinion that there is no law to prevent the erection of bells in Roman Catholic chapels.
CONVERTS.—RELIGION.
CONVERTS.—RELIGION. Occasionally, of late, we have seen paragraphs in the newspapers intimating the conversion of Anglican Churchmen to the Romish faith; and paragraphs have also appeared announcing the reception of Romish priests into the bosom of the Anglican Church. The conversions to the Romish Church have at- tracted most attention, because they have been paraded with something of triumph by the priesthood of that communion, and announced in accents of terror by alarmist Protestants. If the sum-total of transitions from one Christian sect to another for the last twenty years were recorded, it would be seen, not only that the number of converts was considerable in itself, but that the balance of trade was pretty well kept up among theV churches—that each gained pretty nearly as much as it lost. These conversions are no symptom of one of the churches gaining ground on the other. Fire, which fused men's minds into a condition tet receive new formai of belief at the Reformation, has in a great measure become extinct. The various sectarian streams into which Christianity then diverged have consolidated as they cooled, and assumed permanent forms. It re- quires a mighty impulse to emancipate the minds of the mass of mankind from the formulas in which they have been trained. The great bulk of Roman Catho- lics, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, &c. are so for the same reason-because they have from the earliest years heard their religious tenets taken for granted by all around them. The vis inertia keeps and will keep the mass of each church in their allegiance. Whatever fervid theologians may imagine, the sects into which CI ristendom has split will continue to co-exist in their present proportions, unless some impulse external to them all come to alter their relations to each other and itself. And the ludicrous failure of the Theists of the French Revolution indicates how little likelihood there is of such an impulse being given, in the present state of the European mind, -Spectator.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. The generality of the inhabitants of Wales at this moment are no more capable of comprehending the meaning of a lecture or a sermon in the English lan- guage than s mixed assembly of Londoners would be if it were delivered in French.The Fife Herald says that in its county a double horse cart of lime very mo- derately loaded, is charged lOd. and fully loaded consi- derably more. Tolls are always complained of by farmers and carters, who wish to have excellent roads, and at the same time to pass free. Those two things are not, however, compatible. The Sun of Saturday condemns O'Connell observing that -Notwithstanding the impassioned allusions to Frcedom" Reform"- Rights of the People," &c.-which he has been in the habit of making, on an average, about once a week, for the last thirty years and upwards, Mr. O'Connell would seem to have no fixed definite ideas on these important subjects but to regard all such allusions in no higher light than as mere clap-traps intended to answer a par- ticular purpose, and then to be dropped and forgotten. How else are we to account for his recent abuse of Es- partero ?■ Wc are the last to counsel strong measures, where mild ones are likely to be efficacious or an appeal to the ultima ratio in any question between the governing and the governed, until all means of conciliation hare been tried, but force can only be met by force, and ma- gistrates may rely upon it, if they shew a disposition to treat with men in arms against the laws, and to concedo demands made under terror of the pistol or the torch, they will hold out a premium to violence. The Manx Sun says-From the latest intelligence it is ascertained, that the pleasure yacht of Mr. E. M.Gawne,of Kentraugh. which was taken from Port St. Mary by the criminals who lately escaped from Castle Rushen gaol, was scuttled off Bangor, North Wales. The Derbyshire" Recln- bites" visited Matlock, last week. A nervous old gen- tleman mistaking them for Rebeccaites," was almost thrown into hysterics by their arrival.-Mr. Thomas Bullock, a farmer near Macclesfield, was recently gored to death by his own bull. Mr. Feargus O'Connor, in he Northern Star, lays down a plan of future action; and, if it be not supported by the people, he will con- sider himself justified in abandoning the active pursuit of Chartism, and retiring into private life." Is Feargus providing a means of retreat from his party ?— Last week, a woman named Ann Hill, applied to the Humar.e Society at Worcester, for the usual remuneration awarded in cases of preserving life, for having rescued her own child from drowning From one of the venerable oak- trees which adorn the magnificent park of Earl Digby, at Sherborne (Dorset), a single limb has recently dropped, which, on admeasurement, was found to contain upwards of five tons of sound timber The gentleman calling himself Earl of Leicester, and claiming to be heir of the Marquis Townshend, has formally resigned his pre- tensions, by adopting (with the royal license) the names of Dunn Gardner, which were his mother's (the March- ioness Townshend's) maiden names. Mr. John Brit- ton, many years a respectable horse-dealer in Leicester- shire, was recently apprehended on a charge of assault and highway-robbery, alleged to have been teommitted on a farmer in Somersetshire, in 1827. His apprehension produced much excitement in and around Leicester. John Bright's election expenses are paid, and he is seated in the House of Commons, as all members ought to be, without any cost to himself.
