ELEGANT PERSONAL REQUISITES. UNDER THE PATRONAGE or ROYALTY AND THE ARISTOCRACY THROUGHOUT EUROPE. And universally preferred and esteemed. THE successful results of the last HALF CENTURY have Jt_ proved beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, possesses singularly nourishing powers in the growth, re- storation, and improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has failed. This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey— Strengthens weak hair-cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff —and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth of the BEARD, WHISKERS, EYEBROWS, and MUSTACHIOS, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. MusTACHios, it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair. In dressing the hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, and imparting atranscendant lustre. Price 3s. 6d. and 7s.; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s. CAUTION !—On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words, ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, in two lines. The same are engraven on the back of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, con- taining 29,028 letters. A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION, AND SOFT AND FAIR HANDS AND ARMS, Are fully realized and sustained by the use of ROWLANDS' KALYDOR, An Oriental Botanical Preparation, which, by its action on the pores and minute secretory vessels of the SKIN, pro- motes a healthy tone so essential to its general well-being and the beauty of its appearance. Freckles, Tan, Pimples, Spots, Discoloration, and other Cutaneous Visitations are eradicated by the KALYDOR, and give place to a radiant bloom and transparency of Complexion. During the heat and dust of Summer, and in cases of sun- burn, stings of insects, or incidental inflammation, its virtues have long and extensively been acknowledged.—Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. per bottle. CAUTION.—The words ROWLANDS' KALYDOR are on the wrapper of each bottle, and their signature, A. ROWLAND & SONS, 20, Hatton Garden, London, in red ink, at foot.

Magdeburg, 16, Sep., 1853. My wife, having suffered for years from a pulmonary com- E>laint, became so ill at the beginning of this year, that I looked daily for her dissolution. The remedies which hither- to had relieved her remained now without effect, and the ulcerations of the lungs and night sweats debilitated her fearfully. It was in this, evidently the last and hopeless stage of pulmonary consumption^ when every medicine re- mained powerless in even affording temporary relief—that I was induced by a medical brother from Hanover, who makes pulmonary consumption his special study, and treats it with Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, to try the strengthen- ing and restorative food, and I am happy to be able to ex- press my astonishment at its effects. My poor wife is now in as perfect a state of health as ever she was, attending to her household affairs and quite happy. It is with pleasure and the most sincere gratitude to God for the restoration of my wife, that I fulfil my duty of making the extraordinary cfflcacy of Du Barry's Revalenta, in so fearful a complaint, known and to recommend it to all other sufferers. GlUES, M.D. CERTIFICATE FROM DR. GATTIKER. Zurich, 3 Sep., 1853. I have tried Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica for a com- plaint which had hitherto resisted all other remedies—viz. CANCER OF THE STOMACH and I am happy to say, with the most successful result. This soothing remedy has the effect, not only of arresting the vomiting, which is so fear- fully distressing in cancer of the stomach, but also of restor- ing perfect digestion and assimilation. The same satis- factorymfiuence of this excellent remedy I have found in all complaints of the digestive organs it has also proved effectual in a most obstinate case of habitual flatulence and colic of many years standing. I look upon this delicious food as the most excellent restorative gift of nature. DR. GATTIICER. Plymouth, May 9th, 1851. For the last ten years I have been suffering from dys- pepsia, headaches, nervousness, low spirits, sleeplesness, and delusions, and swallowed an incredible amount of me- dicine without relief. I am happy to say that your Food has cured me, and I am now enjoying better health than I have had for many years past. J. S. NEWTON. Devon Cottage, Bromley, Middlesex, March 31, 1849. GENTLEMEN,—The lady for whom I ordered your food was suffering severely from indigestion, constipation, throw- ing up her meals shortly after eating them, having a great deal of heartburn, and being constantly obliged to have recourse to physic. I am happy to inform you that your food produced immediate relief. She has never been sick since, had but little heartburn, and the functions are more regular, &c. You are at liberty to publish this letter, if you think it will tend to the benefit of any other sufferer. THOMAS WOODHOUSE. DR. TESTIMONIAL. Bonn, 19th July, 1853. This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excel- lent, nourishing, an restorative remedies, and supersedes* in many cases, all kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also in diarrhoea, bowel complaints, attections of the kidneys, such as stone or gravel inflammatory uritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and strictures, and he- morrhoids. This really invaluable remedy is employed with the most satisfactoiy result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary complaints, where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pulmonary and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually the troublesome cough; and I am enabled with perfect truth to express the convic- tion that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and consumption.

The proprietor has pleasure in sulmitting the following most satisfactory testimonials selected fjom a great many :— Maidstme, Aug. 7th, 1852. have much pleasure in informing you of the benefit I have received from Woolley's Pectoral Candy. I have for many years suffered from Cough and Asthma, and I think I have tried nearly everything, such as Keiting's Cough Lozenges, Locock's Wafers, &c., &c.; I have also consulted many emi- nent medical men, but got no permanent relief until I for- tunately got a box of your Candy, which did, and still con- tinues to give me more relief than any other remedy have ever tried.

KERNOT, M.D. "Crisp Street, Poplar New Town, London." 11, Ash-street, Hulme, Manchester, Feb. 6th, 1853. Dear Sir,—I beg to offer you my best thanks for your kind- ness in recommending me to try a box of Woolley's Pectoral Candy for the cure of my cough. For many years past I have been subject to a great tightness of the chest, accompanied with difficulty of breathing and great hoarseness. I have been very much inconvenienced with this cough, it has frequently incapacited me for business. Hearing you talk of Woolley's Pectoral Candy in very favourable terms, I acted upon your advice, and procured a box for trial. The effect was rapid; the cough was immediately relieved, and when I had finished the Jirst box I was nearly well. The second box, I am happy to say, cured me. You are at liberty to make any use of this communication you may think proper. I am, yours truly, JAMES GLASS. -T, o TM., r. M F. Ker, Chemist, 8? 2, ,R To Mr. T. F.

The HUMAN BODY, like the vegetable world, undergoes I complete renovation in the spring. An eminent naturalist and physiologist has lately put forth the novel and startling thery that once in seven years every particle of the frame is entirely renewed, although the process is gradual. Be this as it may, what is certain is, that men, like plants, in the spring receive increased vigour and substance. The SPRING has aheays been remarked as a period when disease, if it be lurking in the system, is sure to show itself. The coldness of winter renders torpid the acrimonious fluids of the body, and in this state of inactivity their evil to the system is not perceived but at the Spring these are aroused* and, if not checked, mix up and circulate with the blood, and thus the whole system is contaminated. PARR'S LIFE PILLS, judiciously taken for two or three weeks, will rid the body of all that is noxious, and produce health and com- fort. Persons troubled with scorbutic affections are strongly advised to try them a t this time of the year; in a few days they will perceive the powerful clearing and invigorating properties they possess. THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS IN FAVOUR OF From highly respectable parties, arc confidently submitted to the public. This singularly efficacious medicine is now being introduced into every family, and rests its claims for patrpn- age on the most creditable authorities Head the following and fudge for yourselves. "The astonishing effect PARR'S have had upon me is such that I can scarcely believe that I am the same I was a few months ago I felt then as though my life was nearly ended; now I feel hearty and able to undertake any de- scription of work and exertion, without feeling that excessive fatigue I did previous to taking them. It is really and truly new life to me I have given this statement voluntarily, for the benefit of those of my fellow-creatures who know nothing of OLD PARR'S wonderful PILLS."—CHAS. FOSTER, Ground- keeper to Henry Shepperd, Esq., Lincoln. Mr. KOYLES, of Caistor, adjoining Yarmouth, had a com- plication of disorders. He was in a high degree nervous, was also bilious, and so distressed by an asthmatic affection that he, for four years, was unable to work at his business. After taking two boxes of Old LIFE PILLS, he de- clares himself cured of his most distressing complaints, and is enabled to go through his work as usual; and this, uuder Providence, he attributes to the use of Parr's medicine. From Mr. JOHN SUTCLIFFE, Leeds Road, Bradford.— Gentlemen,—Having witnessed the beneficial effects of LIFE PILLS on a friend of mine, who was much re- lieved in a case of general debility, I began to try them myself, and I beg leave to make known to you that I never received so much benefit from any other medicine, Mid I feel confident of a perfect cure. I told my surgeon what kind of medicine I was taking, and he said that I could not take anything better. Mr. J. HOLT, of Preston Brook, near Warrington, who has been suffering under a severe bodily complaint for twelve years, and has been attended by several of the most eminent surgeons, without receiving much benefit, has at length been effectually cured by taking PARR'S LIFE PILLS. TO LADIES. PARR'S LIFE PILLS are especially efficacious in all the variety of ailments incidental to the fair sex. Ladies even of the most delicate constitutions, will find them particularly beneficial, both before and after confinement, and for general use in schools they cannot be too strongly recommended. They mildly and speedily remove all Skin Eruptions, Sallow- ness of Complexion, Nervous Irritability, Sick Head-ache, Depression of Spirits, Irregularity, or general Derangement of the System.

I THE WAR.
THE WAR. BERLIN" FRIDAY EVENING. The English and French Governmernts entirely reject the proposals of the Czar brought by Prirkme George of Mecklen- burg Strelitz. The negotiations between Austria and Prussia are not yet closed, but Prussia has joined in a protocol signed on Monday at Vienna between England, France, and Austria. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 6. The fleet has sailed from Kioge Bay. The following address to the fleet has been issued by Sir Charles Napier:— Lads,—War is declared. We are to meet a bold and numerous enemy. Should they offer us battle, you know how to dispose of them. Should they remain in port, we must try to get at them. Success depends upon the quick- ness and precision of your fire. Lads, sharpen your cutlass- es, and the day is your own. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 29. The European representatives counsel the Porte not to expel the Greeks. The citadel of Arta is reported to have been taken. Great precautions are taken against revolutionary attempts. An outbreak was expected on the 6th. MARSEILLES, SATURDAY. Letters from Constantinople of the 31st ult, announce that three English merchant vessels were fired into by the Rus- sians near Sulina, in the Black Sea. The Anna, laden with grain, was sunk. The steamer Crescent was dam- aged. The Divan was deliberating upon the expulsion of the Greeks from the Turkish territory. The combined fleets were before Kavarna. The first convoy of French troops had arrived at GaUi- poli. A deputation from Schamyl to the Sultan arrived at Con- stantinople on the 31st March. BUCHAREST, APRIL 4. A battle has taken place between the Russians and Turks on the Danube, on the road to<Silistria. The result is not known. VIENNA, SUNDAY EVENING, APRIL 9. The representatives of the Four Powers signed a protocol to-day containing a recapitulation of the principle of the in- tegrity of the Ottoman Empire, and comprising the evacua- tion of the Principalities. The Austro-Prussian treaty is progressing favourably. The Turks are reported to have gained a great victory in the Dobrutscha. VIENNA, SUNDAY NIGHT. Schamyl has won a great victory. Details are want- ing. ORSOVA, APKIL 9. The Russians have entered Servia at Radujewacz, between Widdin and Orsova. BERLIN, SUNDAY. On Friday a defensive and offensive alliance was concluded between Austria and Prussia, and immediately forwarded to Vienna for ratification. The Ministerial proposal for a war loan passed yesterday by a large majority. The debate, which was long, contained many good speeches and manly sentiments. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 7. On the 6th Admiral Napier landed and visited the Minis- ter of Marine. To-day the gallant Admiral paid his respects to the King at Ffedriksborg. The fleet is still in Kioge Bay. D h M.. h d The whole of the Danish Ministry has resigned. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. Prince Napoleon, accompanied by Vely Pasha, the Otto- man Minister, who will remain with him till his embarkation, took his departure this morning for the East by the Lyons Railway, attended by General Prim and a numerous suite. King Jerome, General Magne, the Ministry, and the Prefects of the Seine and of the Police were present on the occasion. According to Advices from Barcelona of Monday last the artisans of that city had resumed their work, and tranquilli- ty was restored. VIENNA, SATURDAY, APRIL 8. The Fremden Piatt announces, under date of Bucharest, 4th April, that a great battle was being fought at Rassova (about midway between Hirsova and Silistria, in the Dobrut- seba). The result was not known. Mustapha Pacha is at the head of 50,000 men. VISNNA, SUNDAY, APRIL 9. 200,000 Austrians, under Archduke Alerccht, have been ordered to enter Servia. The Porte consents to it. Prnssia agrees to a joint protocol, re-sanctioning the bases of the former Vienna protocols. PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING. The telegraphic despatch received this morning, announc- ing that the King of Prussia has given orders to his ambas- sador at Vienna to sign the protocol of the Four Powers, has once more raised the hopes of the public that the peace of the world will not be tiietu jp d; apel. the Bourse to-day iias veen a great' additional rtse, fbanded upon tbu event. There seems, however, even in the quarters usually the best informed, to exist much doubt what the protocol is to which the despatch alludes. It is rumoured that a conspiracy has been discovered which has ramifications among the servants in the palace of the Tuileries. Several employes have been arrested, but as the most rigorous silence has been imposed upon all persons likely to have information upon the subject, it is difficult to obtain details. A dignitary of the Russian Court, Count Schouwaloff, has arrived in Paris, it is supposed, on a mission from the Em- peror Nicholas. A telegraphic despatch has been received from Turin, which states that the Dnke de Valentinois, who is reigning Prince of Monaco, has made an attempt to recover possession of Mentone, a portion of his principality which, in 1848, was annexed to Piedmont. The despatch states that the Duke de Valentinois having appeared at Mentone, about a score of the inhabitants of that town went out to meet him; but the main body of the population showed great hostility, and arrested the duke. At one time the appearance of matters was very serious, and the duke would probably have suffered from the violence of his ex-subjects, if he had not been pro- tocted by Carabineers of the King of Sardinia, stationed in the town. This is a revolution on the smallest scale hitherto recorded. THE BALTIC. I By telegraphic despatches we learn that five English ships of war passed Hammaran, in the island of Bornholm, at half-past six on the 6th, with a fresh westernly breeze. The navigation of the Gulf of Finland is not yet open. The Austerlitz is at Helsinfors. Five men of the British steamer Driver have been drowned in the Belt by an accident. The Danish Government considers as contraband of war, wood for ship-building, cordage, tar, and sails of hempen manufacture, but not coal. Russia seems to direct a most vigilant attention to the de- fence of the coasts of Finland. A line of telegraph has been established from St. Petersburg to the promontory of Haugs. The Fatrie says, private letters from the Gulf of Finland, of March 24, say the ice is still very strong at Cronstadt, and that a violent north-east wind was prevalent. From the state of the atmosphere at Lake Ladova, at Petersburg, and at Cronstadt, it was thought that the thaw had not begun, and that Cronstadt would not be accessible before the beginning of Mav. THE WEATHER IN THE BALTIC. I Subjoined are the latest advices relative to the state of the I navigation in the Baltic:— LAURVIG, April 3.—The weather continues mild, and the navigation open. The prevailing winds for the last week have been W. and N. W., occasionally blowing very fresh. Many timber-loaded vessels have put in along the coast. The Kong Sverre, hence to New York, with iron, has put into Porter windbound. DRAM, March 28.—The ice in the Fjord has broken up. GOTHENBURG, April I.-The weather continues fine and mild. with rain. GEFLE, March 28.-The River here has been open for some days, and the fairway, it is hoped, will be clear next week. REVEL, March 29.-The bay has been blocked up by ice. The wind having shifted to N.W. here, no open water is to be seen. The weather is mild during the day, with 4 and 5 degrees of frost every night. SPAIN. I Forty thousand artisans filled the streets of Barcelona on the 13th. They were unarmed, and when summoned to disperse they refused. They then turned their steps towards the Garcia suburb, in order to join their comrades outside the walls. The gates were then barred by the trooops, who, when pelted with stones by the mob, had recourse to their arms. The result was that several of the mob were killed and wounded, after which they dispersed. ITALY. I TURIN, APRIL 3. Three persons have been arrested at Parma on suspicion of having murdered the late Duke on one has been found a file sharpened in the form of a dagger, which, with other circumstances, tends to concentrate suspicion on him. Great as was the aversion felt in the Parmesan States for the Duke, the horrible manner of his death has produced a strong reaction in public feeling, and hopes are. generally expressed that his murderer may not prove to be a Par- mesan. The sets of the Duchess-Regent have also produced general sstisfaction. Baron Ward, who, on the first intelli- gence of the murder, hurried from Vienna, received on his road an order never again to enter the duchy. Another of his colleagues, Signor Onesti, who was Minister of Justice, took flight for Vienna. In their room the Duchess ap- pointed the Marquis Pallavicini and Signor Lombardini, both of whom enjoy public esteem and confidence, as at least honest men. INDIA. I ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 3. The India mail proceeds this day to London with advices from Calcutta to the 6th of March; Madras, March 11; Shanghai, February 15; Hongkong, February 25; Singapore, March 4, Penang, March 5; Bombay, March 14. Fighting is going on in the Persian Gulf between the troops of the Shah and the chiefs of Abbas Bunder. The cotton crop in Berar is expected to be a failure. A revolt in Bassein has been surpresscd, but Pegue is again in a disturbed state. The British forces in Burmah are 1,900 men and fifty guns. Indigo market at Calcutta dull. Exchange, 2s. Ojd. The Japanese have conceded to the Russians to open Japan to trade with the rest of the world within a year. Exchange at Shanghai, 6.7.; Canton, 4.9. Freights at Alexandria have fallen to 3s. per quarter.

1 —— POPULAR ERRORS. Numbers of people seem to be of opinion that the human hair was only provided as a tem- porary protection and ornament, instead of which it was de- signed to last us for life, and with ordinary care it would do so. It must be treated, however, as other parts of the body, that is to say, supplied with nutrition, and no article has ever shown itself so capable of affording this in the highest degree as Rowlands' Macassar Oil, the successful results of which during the last half century have proved beyond question its extraordinary powers in the growth and improvement of the hair, and which have obtained it a universal celebrity un- paralleled.
IMISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. On Friday morning the bells of Windsor Castle sent forth merry peals, to celebrate the first anniversary of the birth- day of his Royal Highness Prince George Alfred. Government has taken up seriously the subject of fortify. log the Irish coast, says the Limerick Chronicle, and we this day publish contracts for 26 batteries on the Dublin and Wicklow sea board. The Admiralty have adopted private signals in their com- munications by electric telegraph, in order to ensure secresy for their orders to the dockyards. The total length of the Mississippi river and its numerous tributaries amount to 51,000 miles, of which 20,000 miles are navigable waters. Mrs. Mowatt, the American actress, has published a book in which she actually speako of the deliberate compliments to my genius, my sweetness, my beauty, my simplicity, and my ingenuity! If we believe the census, every fifth person in the United States owns a horse, and every tenth a dog. Dr. Lyon Playfair has been in Edinburgh making ar- rangements as to a site foraa Industrial Museum for Scot- land, which the Government has at length determined to j establish similar to those already existing in London and Dublin. ) The eleetric telegiaph between Stockholm and Grislehamn is goinon rapidly. That between Stockholm and Malm« tall be proceeded with at once.' The line in Skane will fol- low the highway from Engelholm to Helsingborg, past Lanndskrona, to Lund and Malmo. We regret to hear that Dr. John Kitto, F.S.A., editor of the .Pictorial Bible" and Journal of Sacred Liter- ature," author of The Lost Senses," 11 Daily Bible Illus- trations," &c., in consequence of a recent attack of paralysis, is altogether laid aside from his accustomed literary la- bours. The Rev. Dr. Raffles, of Liverpool, has set out on a tour after staying at Rome for a short time, he will visit Jeru- salem and other places of interest in the Holy Land. A letter from the Baltic says that the Neptune, built in 1852, is the fastest ship of the fleet, is as easy as a cradle, and works like a top." The swords of the renowned Enniskillens, are now being sharpened at a large establishment in Leeds, where the regi- ment for the moment is assemblecl, On Sunday the prayer prescribed for time of war was offered in the various churches of the metropolis and in most of the nonconformist places of worship supplications were made for the triumph of truth and justice, and a speedy return of peace. The Rev. George Steward, the eminent Wesleyan min- ister who 8ccccded from the body at the last conference, has accepted an invitation to become the pastor of the Con- gregational Church, West Clayton-street, Newcastle-upon- i yne. At the City soap-works, Milton-street, Cripplegate, London, on Thursday, a German workman fell headlong into the boiling grease, and though immediately got out, lived only a few minutes, his flesh peeling off in large flakes. large During the past year 278 gentlemen were admitted to the degree of B.A. at Oxford, 339 at Cambridge, and 218 at Dublin; and 259 gentlemen were admitted to otlwr de- grees at Oxford, 305 at Cambridge, Rnd98 at Dublin. The militia are to be rationed by Government contract, on the same footing as soldiers of the line, which will prove a considerable saving to them. The rations, which will consist of i lb. of meat, and 1 lb. of bread per day, will cost the men but 41d., the government paying the difference. The Jewish Chronicle asserts that the Emperor of Russia has prohibited the sale in his dominions of the portrait of Sir Moses Montefiiore. On Saturday, the act to admit foreign ships to the coast- ing-trade. was printed, and the coasting-trade is now thrown open to foreign vessels in the same manner as to British ships. Colonel Colt has received a Government order for 4 000 of his revolvers, which, it is understood, are to be supplied to the fleet. A man named Percier, 6 feet Si inches (English measure- ment) in height, has just joined the first Regiment of Engi- neers of France. The government purpose sending out all kinds of clothing and food which can in any way conduce to the health of the troops. A large quantity of tea will be shipped, as the use of water alone in any way will be prohibited, owing to its deleterious character, without the operation of boiling. The French purpose shipping a large quantity of wines, and it is supposed that some arrangement will be made by means of which our government will be able to follow the example. A letter from Berlin, of the 28th, mentions that the in- stant her Majesty's messenger delivered Count Nesselrode's answer at the British legation in that capital, Lord Bloom- field at once telegraphed, by way of Hamburgh, to Admiral' Napier, that "the state of war had begun. and that he should at once commence hostilities against Russia." Lodgi-e-houses, for the wives and children of soldiers quartered in London, are being erected, under the patronage of Fringe Albert and the officers of the household brigade, on a site contiguous to the Vauxhallbridgeroad. The building, to be called "The Victoria Lodging House," com- prises fifty-four tenements, nine upon each of the six stories. The accommodation rooms provided for each are a living room 14 feet by 10, and a chamber 14 feet by 8, with water laid on, and every other convenience; while in the rear, upon the basement, are a series of wash-houses. For drying clothes, the building has a flat roof; and the whole building is ventilated by means of perforated bricks and other mo- dern appliances. A magnificent silver camp equipage, constructed by com- mand of her Majesty, as a present to the Duke of Cam- bridge, has just been completed by the Messrs. Garrard, and forwarded for the use of his Royal Highness. The same firm have also just completed a camp equipage for Lord Raglan, which left Southampton on Wednesday. The experiment of propagating salmon artificially on the Tay is progressing satisfactorily at Stormontfield. Mr. Robert Buist, Superintendent of Fishings, took a quantity of ova from the boxes on Wednesday week, which he placed in his office, and, from its high temperature, the ova has rapidly germinated into life. In fact, the young salmon may be seen in his office flitting about in a small basin with the greatest spirit and agility, apparently quite at home. If the present mild weather continues, it is confidently ex- pected that in the course of ten or twelve days hence, there will be nearly 350,000 salmon fry in the boxes. A journal of the Lotet Garonne, the Papillon, has re- ceived a warning for saying, with reference to Jasmin, the poet, to Our bard has now re-entered his shell-that is to say, he has retired to his fireside;" and "Happy, a hundred times happy, we say, are those who never forgot themselves while they appear to be busy about others." You will re- member that Jasmin has lately made a triumphant progress through France. For a long time his claims to be a great poet were unquestioned, but of late a literary faction has grown up and swelled to considerable portions, which loudly proclaims that nine-tenths of Jasmin's enthusiastic admirers do not understand a word of his writings, and that his fame would melt away if it were possible to render the patois in which he writes generally intelligible. Jasmin during his visit to Paris was received and admired at S. Cloud, where it is said his improvisations drew tears from the Emperor and Empress. This opinion, which very likely tnay be an ill- natured one, is of course heterodox, and the prefects think themselves bound to put it down. The Berlin Kladeratasch places the following dialogue re- lative to Oriental affairs in the mouths of its two standard wags, Muller and Schulze, who have obtained classic noto- riety in Germany:—" M. How will the French go to the East ?—S. By land. M. And the English ?—S. By water. M. And the Prussians ?—S. By beer NEWSPAPER STAMPS.—In 1851 the number of newspaper stamps at one penny issued in the United Kingdom was 89,645,931; in 1852 the number was 92,678,420; and in 1853 the number was 94,961,413. Last year, in England, the number issued was 78,274,335 in Wales, 718,480; in Scot- land, 7,774,612; and in Ireland, 8,193,986. PROPOSED REDUCTION OF WAGES AT STOCKPORT.—The dullness and great depression prevailing in the cotton trade has induced the employers at Stockport to give notice that in a week from Thursday they will reduce the wages of their hands by ten per cent, thus reverting to the prices before the memorable strike of May last. CURIOUS ATTE WT AT SUICtDE.-Some time back, a girl at Vienna attempted to destroy herself by swallowing pins. Finding that small ones did not produce the desired effect, she increased the size, until the last she took were more than two inches long. After this she fell ill. DEPARTURE OF CARDINAL WISEMAN FROM ROME.—His Eminence the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster was to leave Rome on Monday, the 27th nit, on his route to Eng- land. It is expected that his Eminence will reach London in Easter week. BRIDGNORTH.—Last week our town-crier cried in the Corn Market no fewer than thirty-four sales in succession, without any help from note or handbill. The sales were of all sorts, some of cattle, some of furniture, &c., but the whole were announced without a single mistake, or the slightest hesitation, to the mingled amusement and wonder of the farmers and dealers. Dr. Simpson, of Edinburgh, acting upon a hint recently thrown out in Chambers's Journal, has been working wonders with consumptive patients, by having them well rubbed with warm olive oil. Some of the parties, it is said, have increased thirteen pounds in weight in seven or eight weeks. THE QUEEN'S CORRESPONDENCE.—CHESTER POST OF- FICE.—A letter from her most gracious Majesty to the Marchioness of Westminster condoling with her ladyship and her family on their late melancholy bereavement, was written on Wednesday, and despatched from Buckingham Palace on that day. It reached Eaton-hall on Saturday, having been mis-sent" to Flint. It was at first supposed that this unpleasant mistake was imputable to the negligence or oversight of the employes at the Chester Post Office, and a searching investigation was instituted to bring it home to the proper quarter. We are happy to be enabled to state that the result of the inquiry has fully exonerated the officials here, as it was conclusively shown that the royal missive had never reached the Post-office here until Satur- day morning, on its return from the Flint office, to which it had been "mis-sent" from the General Post-office in London. -Chester Chronicle. "DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING GOOD FOR A COUGH?" "Oh, yes, certainly, take so and so," is the answer, no matter to whom you address the question. Every one has his own favourite remedy. Yolu aiway. get your answer, but do not always get rid of your cough. Now these slight colds are the cause and origin of all those deaths from consumption which are so fearfully frequent in our island. How many lives have been preserved, and how many more will be saved from premature graves by the use of Wool- ley's Pectoral Candy," can be imagined only by those (now, happily, a very numerous body,) who have witnessed its wonder-working powers. It relieves, and in many cases speedily cures, those greatest of sufferers, the asthmatic. It is a thing to have recourse to in common cough and loss of voice. But besids curing the above complaints, it has a further and a greater value; it braces and invigorates the chest to resist those sudden changes of the atmosphere to which we are so liable. All chemists sell Wooley's Pectoral Candy, in boxes at 134d, and 2s. 9d. each. John Mitchell has issued an address to his couiit; yu-cil in which he rehearses the wrongs which Ireland ha- suliercd from the British Government, & reminds his countryman that England's difficulty has always been Ireland's opportunity. He tells them that the success of England in the pi-esf-n E war will tend to rivet still more firmly the chains upon Ire- land, and that every Irishman who cn.'ists in the British army takes side with the foes of his country and aids in her enslavement. The Washington correspondent of the Kew York Herc-ld, asserts that Mr. Sanders, late Consul of the Ufiited States ill London, has sold 200,000 muskets to certain revolutionary capitalists in London, in preparation for the explosion of democracy on the continent, as soon as Franco and ilnglar.d ahall have been actively engaged with Russia.

GIGANTIC STEAM Snip.-There- are about to be built at the celebrated works of James Watt and Co., of Soho, a set of marine engines of 1,700 horse power. They are intended to work with another set of 1,300 horse pj'vor, driving paddle wheels. These engines, amounting together to 3.000 horses, are to be placed in a gigantic ship of '23,000 tons burden, to be propelled at the rate of IS miles per hour by the united action of paddle wheels in the usual munntr, with the addition of a screw at the stern—a complete novelty in the science of steam navigation. The immense steam ship is to be built of iron for the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, and is intended for the conveyance of passengers and goods from this country to India by way of the Cape of Good Hope, which voyage it is expected to perform without any stoppage for coaling in the short period ot 30 days. The dimensions of/the ship will be 599 feet Ion;, S3 fee' breadth of beam, 68 feet depth of hold, and drawing 23 feet of water. THE EMPEROR'S VASE AT ASCOT.-For same time past it has been a matter of speculation and inquiry in the sport- ing world whether, under existing circumstances, the piece of plate, value 300 sovereigns, which the Emperor of Ail the Russias has for the last nine years presented to the British public, to be run for over Ascot-heath, and which has formed the great race of the meeting, will this Far be in- cluded in the Thursday's programme. The piat3 has hern ordered, and might, had the stewards of the Jockey Ciub felt so inclined, have been contended for as u-ual; but 011 Saturday last it was announced that the stewards, in eon- junction with the noble Master of the Buckhounds (the Earl of Bessboroupgh), who is one of the stewards of the Ascot meeting virtute officii, have on due consideration deter- mined to decline the proffered gift. The race will this rear reassume the shape of the old Ascot Cup, being for a piece of plate of 300 sovereigns value, made up by the grant of JV) sovereigns from the race fund, added to a sweepvakes of i ) sovereigns each. This decision has given very general satisfaction. THE LATE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY.—The will of this distinguished and gallant nobleman, which was proved oa Saturday at Doctors'-cotnmoiis, consists of a few lines, giving all his estates, real and personal, to his Marchioness, abso- lutely and at her entire disposal, appointing her also sole executrix. The will bears an unattested endorsement in his Lordship,s own handwriting, recapitulating its contents in terms of most affectionate endearment. The personal estate in the province of Canterbury has been sworn under £ 45,000, which, when added to that within the province of York, which is underE250,000, and in Ireland under ,-C .0,000, makes an aggregate of personal property left by the deceased amounting to 4335,000, exclusive of all the vast settled es- tates and collieries of the Vane and Londonderry families in England and Ireland, in the former of which he is suc- ceeded by lady Londonderry, and in the latter by the pre- sent Marquis: INDIA.—The Commissioners for the affairs of India have appointed the Right Hon.

THE SEIZURE OF THE Two RUSSIAN STEAMERS O? WAR. IN THE THAmEs.-The statement which appeared in the daily papers, to the effect that two woodt.u stpam-f:i:tc, nearly completed, in the yard of Mr. Pitcher, at Nort hflect, intended for the Russian Government, had been seized by the Customs, in pursuance of an order from her Majesty's Government, is correct. It appears that some twelve months since a contract was entered into between the Russian Con- sul General and Mr. Pitcher for the building of two wooden screw steam-frigates. The work went en, and certain monies were paid on the contract. About two months ago the Government communicated with Mr. Pitcher, recom- mending the discontinuing of the building of the ships. Attempts were then made, as we are informed, to either sell or transfer them to a neutral power. In the meanwhile the work proceeded one ship was so far completed as ft be ready for launching, and the other was in R forward state. The facts were submitted to the law officers of the Crown, Mid after a careful inquiry and consideration of the whole case, the Government, on Tuesday, sent down orders for the seizure of the two ships, and in pursuance of that direction, Mr. Scanlan, of the Custom-house, took possession of the frigates in Northfleet-yard, and placed officers on board of tticiii, x,,ho continue in charge. The machinery for them, of the value of £ 30,000, was also seized by the Customs authorities. The vessels are of 1,300 tons, and pierced to carry 28 guns. They are not named, but the one ready for launching bears the figure head of the Czar. We are assured that the Admiralty did not enter into any negotiation for the purchase of the steamers. Wilst we have constantly to lament the fai'u-e of medicine to effect the cure even of those diseases which have been longest known, and have for centnres baffled the labours of surgeons and physicians, it is a cheering thing to learn, on trustworthy and indubitable authority, that science has at length discovered, not a drug, uot a nauseating and disgust- ing compound, but a simple and delightful article cf natural diet, which insures speedy and effectual relief in cases whi-re all other appliances had failed.
