FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. I
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. I SHUMLA, MARCH 11. A guerilla warfare continues all along the banks of the Lower Danube, from Rutschuk downwards, but without a collision of any mass of troops, the breadth of the river per- mitting the Minie rifles to do damage, but preventing war properly so called. From Rustchuk we learn that Giurgevo is now strongly fortified on all sides, so that a coup dc main on that important position is now all but impossible. Before the hostilities actually commenced it was the anxious desire of Omar Pasha to occupy Giurgcvo simultaneously with the passage of the Pruth by the Russian armies, and to so intrench and connect it with Rustchuk as to form one strong place to concentrate the army in, so that the Russian, army could not have dared to march into Little Wallachia without a dan- gerous point on the left flank, but he was not supported in this view at Constantinople, and now it is no longer possible. Ever since the skirmish on the inland the opposite bank has been lined with rifles, so that horses cannot be taken to water, nor can the citizens go down to the water's edge with- out running the risk of being perforated with a conical bullet, and several persons have been killed within the town. The Russian balls even enter the embrasures of the bastions on the water-side with wonderful precision. At Turtukai, where the Turks have destroyed two intrenchments on the other side of the river, there is the same state of things, the town itself being at the bottom of tho slope next the river and at Si- listria the two banks of the river exchange cannon balls and shells with each other. In 'short, this week the war in the Lower Danube is like a Gothic battle or a bad romance, with long passages ending in nothing. It appears that the Russians have definitely given up all idea of besieging Kalafat. Ismael Pasha, who I informed you is now here, said to me if 50,000 men sit down before Kalafat, it is certain that 40,000 of them will be put hors de combat, and by no means certain that the other 10,000 will succeed in getting the place. MARCH 27. For the last three or four days a vague kind of feeling had prevailed throughout the country that something had hap- pened on the line of the Danube. One day the rumour was that Kalafat had been taken, and the Turks driven into the river, the bridge between the island and that place being de- stroyed another, that the Russians had crossed at Rustchuk or Silistria; but yesterday the matter was finally settled by the return of Omar Pasha to this place, with the certain in- telligence of the Russians having crossed the Lower Danube, on the 23d, at Matschin, opposite Brailow, about 10 days' march from this. This force is supposed to be the 5th, Gene- ral Ludcrs' corps. Various conjectures have been formed as to the numbers that have already crossed, but the most pro- bable estimate is about 15,000 men. If this be correct, I can- not imagine that the present movement can be more than a demonstration to induce Omar Pacha to concentrate a large portion of his forces in the Dobrudscha, and that the grand emip will be made on the centre of the Turkish line, weak- ened by the withdrawal of men from the garrisons of Rust- chnk, Silistria, Turtukai, and other posts on this side of the Danube. Be this as it may, the greatest excitement prevails here at present. Most of the shops arc closed, their owners, in com- mon with every available man in Shumla, being engaged on the works, under the personal superintendence of Omar Pasha and an officer of the Etat-Major specially sent here by the French Government. The feeling of the Turks towards their French and English allies is most chivalrous, and the knowledge that they are to be well supported has inspired them with fresh courage and enthusiasm. They sa y that now is the time for us to fight and save thcsheiftng of our friends' blood. The Bashi-Basouks cannot, I am afraid, be included in this category; as troops they are perfectly useless; in fact, they are mere marauders and pillagers, whose services could not be declined, and whose absence would be most desirable. The English and French fleets are in Kavarna Bay, and strong hopes are entertained that they precede the speedy arrival of the allied troops at Varna, which is three days' niarch from Shumla. MARCH 29. I send you two words in a hurry, by a special courier that is just starting. I have no further particulars about the pas- sage of the Russians at Galatz, It is believed that another passage will take place higher up the river very soon. If that occurs, it is to be presumed that the Russians who have crossed at Galatz are not in very great force. Omer Pacha is making very good arrangements—as good as the circum- stances permit, and which he had foreseen and calculated. For the present, the Ottoman forces in the Dobrutscha arc concen- trated on the river Carassu. I VARNA, MARCH 30. The fleets are lying in Kavarna Bay. Some of the steam- ships have been sent on to the mouth of the Danube to stop any Russian ships of war, transports, or merchantmen, that may make their appearance there. Admirals Dundas and Hamulin have not waitod for a declaration of war from the allied Powers, but have considered the attitude of the Russians sufficiently hostile to justify them in proceeding to extremities at once. 30,000 of the enemy have crossed the Danube, and occupy three different positions. Omer Pacha has not at- tacked them. He writeti.iii verX bad hUlijout-an unusual trtiit in his correspondence. The great affair of the day at Constantinople is the depar- ture of the Greeks. Count Metaxa, the Minister, leaves to- day by the Austrian Lloyd steamer. The Greeks are put under the protection of Unlgpira for the fifteen days' term allowed thfem f«e departure. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 3. The chief subjects of interest at the present moment are the aggressive movement of the Russians, the expulsion of Hellenic Greeks, and the arrival at Gallipoli of the first detachment of the French army. With respect to the first, information will probably reach' you earlier through Vienna than from this place vet, according to accounts received here, it is probable that the statements as to the number of Russians who have invaded the Dobrudscha are exaggerated, and that the real force falls short of 20,000 men. Whether this be a part of the army of reserve, or its sum total, weakened by the usual mortality of a Russian inarch, it is difficult to say; but it seems to be agreed that this movement is intended for the de- fence of the Lower Danube against the expected operations of the allies; and some desponding spirits do not hesitate to de- clare that our position has been rendered more difficult, and the dangers of the struggle increased, by the promptitude of thp Imperial measures. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 5. The news of a naval combat is explained by an exercise at firing the great guns, which was heard by a trading vessel. The fleets are still at Varna, and have not gone to Sebastopol. Metaxa has left Constantinople. 3,000 Greeks have em- barked precipitatelv. All the population expresses its joy that the allies have arrived at Gallipoli, Lord Stratford has written a circular to the consuls, blaming with indignation the foolish illusions and tendencies of the Russians, relative to Greece. A Hydriote deputation has sent a petition to the Sul tan, Sultan, praying that their country might be exempted from blockade. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 6. Russians ships of war were seen off Batoum on the 3d. The combined fleets.are in Kavarna Bay. A division is at Kustendje, to support Mahomed Pacha's operations. COPENHAGEN APRIL 12. During the stay of the fleet at the rendezvous in the bay of Kioge each day has added to its numbers. Moored in line of battle, with the Duke of Wellington, the monarch of all in the centre, it presents a most formidable appearance. It is more powerful in its armament, comprises more ships, and musters more men than any fleet that has ever congregated on the waters. Up to the above date it amounted to 37 sail. Accounts from Erzeroum state that Zariff Pasha, General- in-Chief of the army of Anatolia, had arrived at Kara, on the 6th of March, and had been received with the greatest enthu- siasm. The army was being continually supplied with money, ammunition, and clothes, so that the ensuing campaign would open under better auspices than that which closed so dis- astrously in December. Artillery was about to be despatched as soon as the state of the roads would allow it; but at present, with snow 10 feet deep in the valleys, and the face of the country a mass of mud and melting ice, it was impossible to think of military operations. The reconstruction and dis- ciplining of the army still continued under Kurschid Pasha (Guyon), and it was thought probable that his present limited powers would be extended. Like Admiral Slade, he has not the power of enforcing a single order, and probably has not only to contend with the ignorance of the men, but with the projudicies and jealousy of his own superiors. It is stated that the whole Russian army is concentrated at Gumri (Alex- andropol), which is being rendered a place of great strength, and should the Russians confine themselves to defensive war- fare in this quarter, the capture of Gumri must precede all' I attempts at aggressive movements on the part of the Ottoman commander. The voluntary service of the Arab and Kurdish tribes is being continually offered for the defence of the empire and the faith. The wild leaders of these bands, which num- ber from 30 or 50 to upwards of 600 hoifeemen, are solicitous to enrol their followers in the armies of the Danube and the Caucasus. But accounts from both seats of war unite hire- presenting these irregular horsemen as worse than useless. The Bashi-Bazouks, it is said, will not face the enemy, and can only be useful in pursuit, while their exactions and cruelties drive the peasantry to madness, and stir up a very dangerous feeling against the army in every village they pass through. The arrival of a fresh batch of young men on the wild-goose chase of honour and promotion in the Turkish ranks shows the continuance of a delusion which cannot bo too soon dispelled. It should be well understood among the enthusiastic and enterprising, that there is no field open to them a without knowledge of the country and language, as well as considerable military reputation. RUSSIA. I A letter from St. Petersburg of April 3, says:—" Anex- traordinary convocation was addressed to all the high func- tionaries and members of the diplomatic corps, to be present in the chapel of the palace at the reading of the bulletin announcing the passage of the Danube. The ceremony showed only a very moderate joy. The absence of the Mi- nister of Austria, convoked like the rest of his colleagues, produced a marked sensation." The nomination of General Rakazowsky, the governor of Finland, as dictator in the duchy, has excited universal alarm. Immense purchases arc being made for the troops, but the un- fortunate sellers are paid in quittances, that is, in worthless assignats. At all the village inns, from St. Petersburg to Bjornebrog, there are troops of horses and vehicles for the transport of solidery. Purchaseifare being made at Uleaborg for the forces expected there. The Czar has addressed an autograph letter to Rakazowsky, the governor of Finland, full of compliment for the excellent reception given him by the Finnish people—under strict orders from the police !-—on his late visit. Lieutenant-General Nordenstam is to command the staff of the troops in Finland. The whole line of road from St. Petersbuit to Helsingfors is black with every kind of vehicle transporting an endless military materiel. Cannon, estafettes, hay-waggons, powder- tumbrils, &c., pass each other perpetually. The first-Russian regiment which marched from St. Petersburg on its way to Finland was the King of Prussia's grenadier regiment. What a happy coincidence A plan is under consideration in St. Petersburg for com- pelling the whole population of Finland to remove into the interior of Russia. If this were even attempted, it would surpass anything in modern history for diabolical cruelty. Most likely the Emperor will content himself with flinging large masses of troops into the unfortunate duchy. At this moment 15,000 men are in Gamla Karleby, 14,000 in Nykar- leby, 25,000 in and near Yasa., and so on. Everythmg is enormously dear.

PARR'S LIFE PILLS. SPRING. „ The HUMAN BODY, like the vegetable world, undergoes complete renovation in the spring. An eminent, naturalist and physiologist has lately put forth the novel and startling theory 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, Woe plants, in the spring receive increased vigour and substance. The SPRIV, G has always been rema ked 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. IIARRIS LIFE PI LLS,jttdiciously; 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 at 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, are confidently submitted to the public. This singularly efficacious medicine is now being introduced into every family, and rests its claims for patron- age on the most creditable authorities Read the following and judge for yourselves. The astonishing effect PAllU:S PILLS 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.CIIAS. 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 PARR'S 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 SUTCUFFE, Leeds Road, Bradford.— Gentlemen,—Having witnessed the beneficial effects of PARK'S 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, and 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. ATL M?L J.

Magdeburg, 16, Sep., 1853. My wife, having suffered for years from a pulmonary com- plaint, 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 hisfspecial 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 wa" 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 efflcaCy of Du Barry's Revalenta, in so fearful a complaint, known and to recommend it to all other sufferers. GRIES, M.D. CERTIFICATE FROM DR. GATTIKER. Zurich, 3 Sep., 1853. I have tried Du Barry's Rcvalenta 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- fullv distressing in cancer of the stomach, but also of restor- ing perfect digestion and assimilation. The same satis- factory influence 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 restoiative gift of nature. DR. GATTIKER. Plymouth, May 9th, 1851. For the last ten years I have been sufferiug from dys- pepsia, headaches, nervousness, low spirits, sleeplesness, and delusions, and swallowed an incredible amount of me- dicine without relief.

This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excel- lent, nourishing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes' in many cases, all kmds. of medicines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also in diarrhoea, bowel complailuts, affections of the kidneys, such as stone or gravel inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and strictures, and hae- morrhoids. This really invaluable remedy is employed with the most satisfactory 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. e DR.

Sir,—I 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 Keating's Cough Lozenges, Locock's Wafers, &c., &c. I have also consulted many emi- nent medical men, but got np, permanent relief until I for- tunately got a box of yopr Candy, which, did, and still con- tinues to give me more relief thanany other remedy I have ever tried.

"I feel a pleasure in recommending Woolley's Pectoral Candy, in pulmonary complaints, influenza, coughs, colds, asthma, and affections of the chest. G. C. 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 first 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. To Mr. T. F.

A New and very Curious invention connected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, it is the production of an entirely now description of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed by his NEW PATENT SYSTEM of SELF- ADHESION and CAPILLARY ATTRACTION without springs, wires or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble natu- ral teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require .the extraction of any teeth or roots or any painful operation whatever, and from the nature of the materials used the most perfect fit is obtained.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. SURPRISING CURE OF A CONFIRMED ASTHMA, AFTER FIVE YEARS' SUFFERING. The following testimonial has been sent to Professor Holloway by a Gentleman named Middleton, of Scotland Road, Liver- pool. Sir,-Your Pills have been the means, under providence, of restoring me to sound health after five years of severe affliction. During the whole of that period, I suffered the most dreadful attacks of Asthma, frequently of several weeks' duration, attended with a violent cough, and continual spitting of phlegm intermixed with blood. This so shook my constitution that I was unfitted for any of the active duties of life. I was attended by some of the most eminent medical men of this town, but they failed to give me the slightest relief. As a last remedy I tried your Pills, and in about three months they effected a perfect cure of the disease, totally eradicated the cough, and restored tone and vigour to the chest and digestive organs. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, Dated Jan. 1st, 1853. (Signed) H. MIDDLETON. A PERMANENT CURE OF A DISEASED LIVER, OF MANY YEARS' DURATION. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Ganis, Chemist, Yeovil, to Professor Holloway. Dear Sir -In this district your pills command a more extensive sale than any other proprietary medicine before the public. As a proof of their efficacy m Liver and Bilious Complaints I may mention the following case. A lady of this town with whom I am personally acquainted, for years was a severe sufferer from disease of the Liver and digestive organs: her medical attendant assured her that he could do nothing to relieve her sufferings, and it was not likely she could survive many months. This announcement naturally caused great alarm among her friends and relations, and they induced her to make a trial of your Pills, which so im- proved her general health that she was induced to continue them until she received a perfect cure. This is twelve months ago, and she has not experienced any symptoms of relapse, and often declares that your Pills have been the means, of saving her life. I remain, Dear Sir, yours truly, Nov. 23rd, 1852. (Signed) J. GAMIS. AN ASTONISHING CURE OF CHRONIC RHEUMATISM, AFTER BEING DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL INCURABLE. Copy of a Letter from 3fr. TV; Moon., of the Square, Winchester. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY, Sir,—I beg to inform you that for years I was a sufferer from Chronic Rheumatism, and was often laid up for weeks together by its severe and painful attacks. I tried every thing that was recorr mended, and was attended by one of the most eminent Surgeons in this town but obtained no relief whatever, and fearing that my health would be entirely broken up, I was induced to go into our County Hospital where I had the best medical treatment the Institution afforded, all of which proved of no avail, and I came out no better than I went in. I was then advised to try your Pills, and by persevering with them was perfectly cured, and enabled to resume my occupation, and although a consi- derable period has elapsed, 1 have felt no return whatever of the complaint.

If you deem this worthy of publicity, you are at liberty to use it. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, (Signed) G. BRIGGS. These celebrated Pills arc wonderfully efficacious in the following com.plaints.

Curtis.-We agree with the Author that, so far from works of this class being objectionable in the hands so youth, or difficulties being opposed, every facility should be given to their circulation; and to strengthen our opinion we need but rfer to the recent distressingevents at our Military and Scholastic r?for to the receiitdistressin g wo  i,%vieli. ,N,& VAL AND AIILITARY Academies at Carshalton and Woolwich." NA.\ AL AND MILITARY GAZETTE, lST FEll., 1851. We feel no hesitation in saying, that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful—whether such person hold the relation of a parent, preceptor, or a clergyman."— bu N, Evening Paper. Many of our most eminent Physicians testify that the practice of these delusive habits, so justly condemned by the author, is a greater source of derangement than all others, and, as is also observed by the truly intelligent superintendents of our Private Lunatic Asy!ums and Insane Hospitals .is probably the chief cause of many patients being brought there, and almost an insuperable obstacle to their recovery.AIEDICAL REVIEW. Curtis on Manhood.—Fortunate for a country would it be, did its youth put into practice the philanthropic and scientific maxims here laid down-one cause of matrimonial misery might then be banished from our land, and the race of the enervate be succeeded by a re- newal of the hardy, vigorous spirits of the olden time.CHRONICLE Published by the AUTHOR; sold also in sealed envelopes by Sherwood, Piper & Co., 23, Paternoster-row; HA^NAY, 63 Oxford-St.; MANN, 39, Cornhill, London GUEST, Bull-St., Birmingham; HEYWOOD, Oldham-street, Manchester; How: ELL, 6, Church-street, Liverpool; CAMPBELL, 136, Argyle- street, Glasgow; ROBINSON, 11, Greenside-street, Edin- burgh BERH.Y and Co., 162, Great Britain-street, Dublin: Cambrian Officet.

AUSTRIA. )
AUSTRIA. ) VIENNA, APRIL 11. From Bucharest dated the 4th instant. The Russian troops are still crossing the Danube into the Dobrutscha in large masses. The corps under the command of General Ludcrs in that province is reported to be already £ 0,000 to 70,000 strong It does not, however, appeff by these advices that they have advanced further than Czerna- voda, as no new bulletine has been published at Bucharest, which, certainly would have been the case if the Russians had succeeded in occupying other places of any importance. Prince Gortschakoff was still at Bucharest on the 2d inst. It would appear also that the rumour of a general battle at Simnitza, which was noised abroad by the Kronstadt Itei- tmg, was devoid of all foundation. The latest advices from Bucharest likewise affirm that the war declaration of France and England had produced an immense sensation there, and that, in consequence of this event, Baron Budberg, the Russian governor of the Danubian provinces, has given notice to all persons connected with the diplomatic agencies of the Western Powers to quit the territory of the princi- palities within eight days. VIENNA, SUNDAY, APRIL 16. The state of siege will be raised in Hungary, the Servian Woywodate, the Banat, Galicia, Cracow, and Bukowina, after the 1st May. This is official. It is rumoured in well-informed quarters that Austria proposes to Prussia to consider the pas:sage of the Danube a casus belli. ODESSA, APRIL 8. The combined fleets blockade Odessa. A private despatch states that Odessa was taken on the 14th, but this is doubtful. MALTA. MALTA, APRIL 12. The 77th, 49th, 33d, 41st, 4th, 47th, and 50th regiments have left in different steamers. French steamers, with troops from Algiers, have passed Malta without touching. *GOTHA. The Gotha Gazette of April 10 publishes the following paragraph Several journals have spread a report that there will very shortly appear at St. Petersburg a secret correspondence carried on without the knowledge of the Eng- lish Government between the Courts of England and Russia, and which will seriously compromise Prince Albert. We are authorised to announce, on the subject of this corres- pondence, that the Court of England looks forward to the publication of this correspondence with interest, and the more so as on the side .of England it is confined to the or- dinary notifications on the occasion of births, &c." ITALY. A letter from Nice, of the 11th, states that the Duke. of Valentinois, son of the Prince of Monaco, had been liberated by order of the Government. He was authorized to proceed to Monaco by sea, or to France by land. He preferred re- turning to France. He was then at Nice, in the Hotel des Etrangers, but was to leave in a day or two. At 1 o'clock on the 11th two carriages, containing the persons arrested at Mentone during the late riots, arrived at Nice, where they were lodged in the Prison of the Senate. The Prince declared that he had been deceived by a few silly individuals, who as- sured him that the moment he appeared the whole population would rise in his favour. He intends to draw up a memorial and sign a protest when he reaches France. The Partamento states that the authorities had no other object in arresting the Prince than to protect his person. His confinement in the fort of Vallafianca was a mere measure of precaution and security, adopted by the Intendant-General, in virtue of or- ders from the Government. B'anditti had again made their appearance in the vicinity of Rome. In the beginning of the month, a French family had been robbed on the Civita Vecchia road, and Mr. Sauzet, former President of the French Chamber of Deputies, was the hero of a nearly similar adventure. M. and Madame Sauzet had gone, with several friends, on an excursion to Monte Cavi, the ancient Mons Albanus, on which stood the Temple of Jupiter Latialis, where the Ferice Latina and the triumphs called ovations were celebrated. They were returning to Albano, along the lake of that name, when all of a sudden, at a spot where the road abruptly turns, M. Sauzet beheld a double-barrelled gun levelled at his head. He immediately understood the meaning of the application, and drew out of his pocket a few pieces of money, which he gave to the bandit. Gracie, Eecellenza," replied tho latter. Then, perceiving that M. Sauzet was uneasy about his friends, who had preceded him, he pointed to a thicket where they were, saying,—" Gia ho fatto" (" I have done with them")' Feliceniaggio") (" A pleasant journey to you"). He afterwards disappeared in the forest. On the 9th inst., Palm Sunday, the Pope sent 300 blessed palms to the Commander-in-Chief of the French division, to be distributed among the officers of the different regiments who had applied for them. The great number of officers who last year presented themselves to receive the palms from the hands of His Holiness having considerably prolonged the ceremony, the above measure was adopted on the present oc- casion.
I*THE BALTIC FLEET. I
I THE BALTIC FLEET. I All the Russian Baltic ports ate declared under block- ade. A reserve fleet, consisting of the Austerlitz and other ships, is in Kiogc Bay. Independently of the French sail of the line (four of which arc hourly expected), the fleet under the command of Sir Charles Napier will be increased to 40 sail, forming three squadrons the weather squadron, to comprise the first and second divisions the centre squadron the third and fourth; and the lee squadron the fifth and sixth divisions. Three other divisions will be composed of the paddle-wheel and screw steam sloops, consisting of 21 vessels. PARIS, APRIL 16. The accounts we receive from Constantinople continue to express the greatest anxiety and impatience for the arrival of the allied forces at the theatee of the war. They concur in speaking of the great effect that would be produced on the Turks by the presence of 70,000 or 80,000 French and English. Confidence would be restored to the Mussulman population and army, and greater check would be given to any designs of revolt on the part of the Christian population. Should a t Russian army succeed in overcoming the obstacles in its way, to approach Constantinople, it is difficult to believe that in the absence of the fleets the Turkish Government could of itself repress au insurrection. However that may be, every letter received here, from official and non-official persons, urges in the most earnest manner the arrival of the troops. Indeed, I am informed that the recent despatches from General Bara- guay d'Hilliers himself are not less pressing, particularly since the passage of the Danube by the Russians, and their occupation of the Dobrudseha. The General, it is said, de- clares that if the allied Governments wish to avoid the occur- rence of another Sinope on land the armies and their com- manders must arrive with all possible speed.
AMERICA.
AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. By the steamer Africa we have ad vices from New York to the 5th inst. She has brought 200,000 dollars in specie. On the 16th spoke the brig George Marsden. 56 .days from j Malta, short of provisions, and supplied them. The steamer City of Glasgow had not arrived at Phila- delphia. She was in her 36th day out from Liverpool. In the House of Representatives at Washington Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, introduced a resolution requesting the President to open negotiations with England, vrith the view of ascertaining upon what terms the latter Government would consent to the annexation of Canada to the United States! The resolution was rejected by a majority of 119 to 28. From Havannah, we have advices to the 29th. ult. Much inconvenience was felt in many parts of the island from drought. "Upwards of 20 sugar plantations, including some of the largest in the island, had been destroyed by fire, the dry cane having ignited from sparks issuing from a railway locomotive. The Spanish war steamer Pizarro had been lost on a reef of rocks off the east end of Cuba. The tendency of the New York stocy-raarket was still downward. The money-market was active at 7 per cent. for call loans, and 9 to 10 per cent. for first-class paper.

AUSTRALIA.-The following extracts of letters from Ade- laide will interest many readers" A bricklayer's labourer can now earn 17s. per day, and they will not work for less. Although so many emigrants keep constantly coming, they soon disappear into the bush, as a man and wife can get JE100 per annum, with rations and hut to live in-the wife as cook, and to wash. We had a long and very cold winter, but the weather is much the same as last summer—one week the glass will be, in the room, 98, the next down to 68. It is a most changeable climate; England is nothing to it. There cer- tainly is a much better prospect for a young man in Adelaide than there would be at home, but he must work hard, and then he mav in 12 or 14 years do something for himself, but the poor people get on in no time, because they do not mind what they do Farming is paying uncommonly well. Emi- grajits are obliged to be cautious what acquaintance they make with people, for they find two out of three to be ticket of leave" gents. A number of Jews and Germans are als o doubtful customers. The Burra copper mines have begun to work again, and they say they could employ 1,000 men if they could get them. They are only waiting for labour to begin the Port Railway. The head men are now, and have been for the last six months, in receipt of their salary. The people do not like it. They are just like the people at home- always at war with one another; and being a much smaller place, it creates great jealousy. Those that make the most show are thought the most of, and get into the best society the place affords. I saw J.P yesterday. He has returned from the second trip to Bendigo not successful. He says they are clearing out the old holes; and then, if they are not lucky, it ruins them, as it is hard and long work. Rent is very high now, 100 per cent. above what it was when we landed, on good letable property. It requires a large capital, and constant shipment coming, to do a trade here now. Small men have not much chance. A LAUGHABLE TRICK,- An old gentleman residing at Exmouth, who labours under an asthmatic complaint, has in his garden, fronting his house, a flag-staff, with a vane on the top, and, during the prevalence of easterly winds, he avoids going out of doors as much as possible. Some. one acquainted with his habits took an opportunity, one night lately, to climb up the flag-staff, and with a hammer and nail fastened the vane due east. The consequence was, the old gentleman referred to his vane every morning, as was his custom, to see what quarter the wind was in, and, not suspecting anything was wrong, was kept in the house thir- teen-days after it had changed. THE SEVENTEEN YEAR CYCLE.-The seventeen year pe- riod is one of some importance in the animal world. Epide- mics are known to recur at this period, the cholera being one of these. In 1816-17 it commenced its ravages in India; it was prevalent in Europe in 1832-33, and again in 1848-49. Humboldt mentions a similar cyclo as having been observed in South America in the prevalence of the small-pox. In the United Sates locusts have appeared every seventeen years in larger quantities, concurrently with the epidemical diffusion of cholera, namely, in 1832 and 1849. There is a species of -Cicada which has its trivial name from its periodical occur- renoe At- tbiH intjtTVfll fimo -1-
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.…
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. It appears that the Admiralty, without sanctioning any new expedition to st-areli for Sir John Franklin, have deter- mined that such orders shall be issued to Sir E. Belcher as will empower him to continue the search for the missing ex- pedition for another year. The Austrian Government has just forbidden the emigration of persons who have not the means sufficient to give the chance of succeeding. The agriculturists in the north of France are uneasy at the manifestations of symptoms of a disease in the beetroot plant. A Polish physician is said to have made a curious and im- portant discovery of a species of camera, or optical telegraph by which a perfect reconnoissance can be affected at an in- credible distance. It can be used on horseback, and the Turks huve as many as 400 persons employed in this way about them. The Glasgow Commonwealth complains that some ticket-of- leave men have been allowed to return to Glasgow without any notification to the police; and intimates that these men are engaged in their old practices, which they are enabled to pursue with great safety because the policemen are not aware of their presence in Glasgow. An electric telegraph is immediately to be established between Hango Point, between Helsingsfores and Albo, aind St. Petersburg. This is a distance of nearly 60 Swedish miles. Much inconvenience has been felt among the fleet of transports lying at Deptford, by an extensive. desertion of men into the navy. Boats from the several naval rendezvous in the river are nightly cruising round the ships, inducing the men to leave. Mr. Dunbar, the owner of some of the ships, is taking steps to obtain redress from the Govern- ment. The editor of the Deseret Netps, Mormon paper, thus ad- dresses his readers If the readers of the News would continue to read the News, they must hand over some tallow and lard, by the light of which we must write vand some wood to keep our fingers warm. No mistake on this subject; and we wish our agents to look to it." A letter from Copenhagen, says that Count Sparre's in- vention, by which he can at pleasure, in a few moments, manufacture bank notes of any kind,has been again and again acknowledged by the Bank authorities to be absolutely per- fect. he is going to visit England and France to offer his counter-discovery. A committee is sitting on his offer to the Swedish banks. In respect to the prayer in the time of war, no pastoral or order is required from the bishops. The clergy are bound and expected to use the prayer, on their own knowledge and sense of the fact. This is a time of war, and the clergy do not want their bishops to announce it. Upon knowledge of the fact, the Prayer-book requires the clergy to use the prayer and this, we are informed, is what the bishops expect the clergy tounderstand,-lIforning Chron- icle. At the Mechanics' Institution, Manchester, on Tuesday evening last, an oratorio was performed in aid of the fund for the relief of the families of soldiers ordered upon active service to the East. Last year, in Great Britain, the consumption of wine was 6,227,022 gallons, and in Ireland 586,809 gallons whilst in the preceding year the consnmptioii was, in Great Britain 5,822,833 gallons, and in Ireland 523,228 gallons. The Spanish government is driven to such extremities for cash that they are actually owing the prizes in the last lottery that was drawn. A manuscript mass, in the handwriting of Hadyn, has been discovered in the royal library at Stockholm, and performed with great success. Stolen property to the amount of £10,000, the proceeds of many burglaries, has just been discovered on the premises of Moses Moses, a general dealer, iu Hounsditch, London. Some experiments have been recently made at Brest with the new missiles called" bóulets asphixians." A building containing a number of cats, dogs, and other animals, was fired at, and on inspection all of them were found to be dead from asphyxio but it happened that the shots were fired against the wind, and, although the distance was great the poisonous vapour was rolled back with such effect that several of the artillerymen were nearly choked, and some of them fainted. SWEDEN.—The Stockhohn Gazette of the 5th publishes a decree, permitting the free importation of corn and flour until the end of July, after which the former duties will be imposed. THE CUR'S PROPERTY IN LIMERICK., — The Limerick Chronicle states "that the property of the Emperor of Russia at the upper end of William-street, in this city, consists of stores and houses which net a yearly rental of £ 400." WHITE SNAILS.—A curious branch of commerce is every year acquiring an increased importance in Paris. It is the trade in white snails, the consumption of which amounts now to some hundreds of thousands of these animals in the year. THE RE(;rSTRATIOv AcT.-By a return just issued, it ap- pears that in one year the expenses to the parishes of Fug. land and Wales, on account of the Registration Act-viz., fees to clergymen and registrars, outlay for registrars' offices, books, and forms-amounted to £ 58,959. 'I he pro- portion in the pound on the total poor-rate expended was twopence. IN-MAINTENANCE AND OUTDOOR RELIEF.- According to a Parliamentary return just published, the in-maintenance of paupers in one year amounted to E736,399, or 2s. 4jd. in the pound out of the poor-rate and the out-door relief, £ 2,809,609, or 8s. 2fd. in the pound on the total poor-rate expended. THE NEW BREAD-MAKING PnOCFSS.-Tslr. Pepper, one of the chemical lecturers at the Polytechnic institution, has devoted some time and trouble to ascertain the secret of the process by which a greater weight of bread is produced from a given quantity of flour than is now commonly ob- tained, as shown in the recent experiments at the Marvlebone workhouse. It would result from this report of Mr. Pepper, that while the increased weight of the bread made from a sack of flour by the new process is admitted-though not to the same extent as claimed by the persons possessing the secret the increased weight is almost demonstratively proved to be produced by the use of substances possessing a capacity for absorbing and retaining moisture and that the difference, therefore, is simplv the addition of so much water—nothing more.—Morning Chronicle. NEW ACT TO COMPEL THE ATTENDANCE OP WITNESSES. -On Saturday a bill in the Commons was printed, by which it is proposed to compel the attendance of witnesses residing out of the jurisdiction of the superior courts, if they are within the United Kingdom. It is alleged that at present inconvenience arises. A special order of a court or judge is necessary.. Nothing is said in the act about the compen- sation or expenses to be given to the parties. THE GREEK INSURRECTION.-It is currently reported in respectable circles in Manchester that the Greek mercantile houses there, and in London and Liverpool, have subscribed largely to promote the insurrection in Turkey.

THE SOI-DISANT BARONBT SMYTHE.-The bonafide holder of the title so impudently and fradolently claimed by Mr. Tom Provis, now a. convict, has presented Mr. Field, late of the detective force, with a most munificent present, for the ability he displayed in unmasking the barefaced impos- ture. THE CONVICT BAILPY.Tames Bailey, who was convict- ed last Somerset assizes of the murder of a young girl named Eliza Coles, has been reprieved, with a view to a commutation of the capital sentence to penal servitude for life. The intellect of the wretched criminal is of the lowest possible order and he had been so greatly neglected by his parents, as to have grown up to manhood in a state of the darkest ignorance. He is, in short, scarcely removed from the condition of an animal, and under all the circum- stances of his case it was not thought necessary that the extreme penalty of the law should be carried into elect.- Observer. The trial of Dr. Smith for the murder of William M'Do- nald, at Burnside, in Aberdeenshire, has resulted in the ac- quittal of the prisoner. The circumstances of this case, which appears to have created an extraordinary intereat in the locality, are probably still fresh in the. recollection of our readers. On the night of Saturday, the 19th of November, in last year, M'Donald left home, saying that he had to go to the cartwright's for some implements that he wanted, and that he had a tryst' with Dr. Smith about six o'clock. He never returned, and on the Sunday morning Robert M'Do- nald went out to search for him. Within about three mi- nutes' walk of Dr. STOP'S house he found his brother's body lying in a ditch, with r pistol wound on the right cheek. From the position in which the body lay, it is quite possible that the deceased might have met his death either from sui- cide or accident, although the evidence of two surgeons was emphatically against such a supposition. Who, then, was likely to have committed the murder ? Here it was estab- lished beyond a doubt that Dr. Smith would gain consider- able benefits from M'Donald's death. It was shown that Smith bad effected a. temporary insurance on M'Donald's life to the amount of £ 2,000, which expired on the 24th of Now., —that is exactly five days after M'Donald's death. Strong motives therefore existed, and it only remained to beahown whether the facts given in evidence were sufficient to justify the supposition that Smith was the murderer. It was showB that Smith had purchased a pistol of the same kind with that found near the body of the deceased that there was sufficient time, unaccounted for, for the commission of th: murder; that the accused had endeavoured to "cook the evidence of the only man who had heard the shot, and of a woman into whose house he had gone soon after the time that the murder probably occurred. Had no motive existed for the act, it is possible that suspicion might never have rested upon Smith; but we are strongly inclined to concur in the general belief of the neighbourhood that the decision of the jury, even if warranted by the forms of legal tech- nicality, is a real perversion of justice. Gloie. WOOLEYS' PECTORAL CANDY is at once the most elegant and, efficacious remedy that can be employed for the removal of coughs, asthma, and sore throat. It alike unclogs the air cells of the luugs and imparts lasting ease and comfort to the chest; and its value is still more apparent in the bracing and invigorating influence which it exercises on the whole of the respiratory organs, rendering them strong and healthy, so that they can resist the effootslof thoselconstant changes in the atmpsphere to which Englishmen are everywhere exposed. Wooley's Pectoral Candy" is celebrated throughout the empire, and all respectable chemists sell it in boxes at 13!d. and 2s. 9d. aach. BLAUÚGOUT AND RREUMATIC PILIA.- Extract of a letter, written by John Molard Wheeler, Esq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, having been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout, for publication. I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me empha- tically tell you, in mercy to any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderiul efficacy not only am I personally aware of their powers, but I-see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altoge- ther; if in a later, they alleviate pain, and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my know- ledge;" Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand. London: and I CHARGE OF MURDER AGAINST 'THE CAPTAIN OF AN ENGLISH SHIP.-WM. Henderson Horner, T. Chuddertod, And John Barth, the captain and first and second males of barque Manngerstem, of London, were charged on Monday before the Liverpool magistrates with the murder of three sailors on the homeward voyage fioin Alanilia. Tiie (le- ceased sailors were repeatedly flogged, principally by the captain, with a large stick of leak, in which knotted cords were inserted. They died on the 4th, 23d, and 2LHh March respectivelv. MURDER IN ST. GILEs,-On Tuesday morning, the most intense excitement was occasioned by a report in St. Giles and vicinity, that a female had been murdered by her para- mour, which on inquiry proved to be, unfortunately, a melancholy fact. From what can be gleaned, it seems that the deceased's name is Barbara Mitchell, ;¡ged :J9 years, and resided at No. 15, Little White-lion-street, ^even-dials, St. Giles, and cohabited with a man of the name of William Busey, who has for some length of time brutally ill-used her. The repeated cries of murder proccedi-tig from the house had caused Mr. Radden, hairdresser, opposite the house, to take no notice of it, as he had repeatedly interfered and got offence for his trouble. The deceased came home tipsy, when Busey commenced kicking her with allliis force, and knocked her down, when cries of murder were heard, but no no notice was taken for the reason stated. She was found lying on the floor, quite dead, by the side of the bed every part of her person exhibiting marks of violence, which had evidently been occasioned by heavy blows and kicks. The face and head were shockingly swollen and disfigured. Mr. i. Iline, the snmmoning officer instantly repaired to the house, and had the body removed to St. Giles's Workhouse, feusey has for the present escaped the vigilance of the detec- tive officers. LORD HARROWBY'S CHURCH DEMOLITION BILL.—We understand that the only ameliorations which the select committee have introduced into this bill, are limiting its operation to continguous parishes, and inserting a clause that when a church is pulled down the Church Building Commissioners shall have power to re-arrange the seats and pews in the church of the united benefice, and shall make $ot less than a third of them free. The bill will be Reprinted by the time the House of Lords meets again, nd be discussed in committee of the whole house shortly after Easter. REPRESENTATION OF FLINTSHIRE.—Ths elevation of the Hon. Edward Mostyn, the late member for the county of flint, to the peerage, having occasioned a vacancy in the re- presentation, Mr. Thomas Edward Lloyd Mostyn, his lord- ship's eldest son, has issued an address to the electors, solicit- mg their suffrages. Mr. Mostyn is the only candidate at present in the field, but some opposition is spoken of. TIN A RIVAL TO GOLD.-Tin is supposed by some persons as likely to become only second in importance to gold in Australian mining. In a recent number of the Sydney Herald there is a communication from the Rev. W. B. Clarke, writ- ing of the subject in a sanguine manner, and mentioning places where tin has been already found. Mr. Clarke was first led to anticipate the presence of tin by observing rocks of tourmaline granite, the stone which yields tin in Cornwall. THE IRON TRADE.—The quarterly meetings of the past week have been most numerously attended, and of a highly satisfactory character throughout. The export demand, es- pecially through the Liverpool houses, appears to continue unabated, and the home trade exhibited symptoms of extra- ordinary impulse. Accounts in every department were un- exceptionably met, and," notwithstanding a total absence of speculation and the exercise of an unusual caution, al most amounting to timidity, on the part of both buyers and sellers, a large amount of business was done at fully sustained prices. Indeed it is generally acknowledged that an advance might easilv have been established had the attempt been made; but our leading houses have wisely abstained from such a step, till the probable course of financial, matters becomes better developed. The contracts offered were restricted to the mere hand-to-mouth requirements of customers, and these were undertaken with hesitation, order books in most cases being previously as full as the circumstances of the times appear to justify. While the nominal prices of manufactured iron re- main as at present, with the existing difficulties in obtaining supplies of metal and fuel, there is little inducement to Ile- gotiate for future deliveries. The prices may now be fairly quoted as follows :-TIar iron 410 per ton, hoops ;Cl I, sllctts aind plates tl2, nail rods X,10 10s., cold air pig iron £ 6, hot mine iron £5 5s., cinder pig Y,4 10s. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, NEW CROSS.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert have evinced the interest they feel in the gal- lant defenders of the country by a well-timed and unsolicited act of munificence. Colonel the Hon. C. B Phipps has for- warded to Mr. Alfred Eames, the secretary of the Royal Naval School at New Cross, £.500, to constitute the Prince of Wales a life governor, which confers upon his Royal Highness during his life the privilege of a lways having one pupil in the school for gratuitous board and education such pupils being, necessarily, the sons of naval or marine officers. LIMITED LIABILITY IN AMERICA.—Great facilities arc afforded in many of the States for the formation of mann- facturing companies. The liabilities of partners not actively engaged in the management are limited to the proportion of the capital subscribed by each, and its amount is published in the official statements of the company. In the case of the introduction tif a new invention or a new manufacture the principle of limited liability produces most beneficial re- sults. Persons who from their connexions or occupations are likely to be interested in or profited by, the new inven- tion or manufacture readily associate together and subscribe capital to give the new proposal a fair trial, when they are assured that their risk will not extend beyond the amount which they may choose to contribute. The cost of obtain- ing an act of incorporation is very trifling; in one case wjhere the capital of the company amounted to 000,000 dol- lars ( £ 120,000) the total cost of obtaining the act of incor- poration was 60c. (2s. Id) JKEMEDY FOR THE BITE OF A MAD DOG.-As the cry of a inad dog has been raised, the following may be worthy a re-perusal: A Saxon forester, named Gastell, now of ilio venerable age of 82, unwilling to take to the grave with him a secret of so much import, has made public in the Leipsio Journal the means which he had used for fifty years, and wherewith he affirms he has rescued many human beings and cattle from the fearful death of hydrophobia. Take imme- diately warm vinegar or Trepid Water, wash the wound clean therewith, and then dry it; pour then upon the wound a few drops of muriatic acid, because mineral acids destroy the poison of the saliva, by which means the evil effcct of the later is neutralized." NEW LITERARY ASSOCIATION.—A literary association of a peculiar and somewhat novel character is inviting public notice, under the name of the Neophyte Writers' Society." The prospectus sets forth the objects and plan of the insti- tution. It is designed as academy of literary art, in which the genius, talent, and taste of our more advanced neophyte literati might be fostered and matured." The society, which is composed generally of student artists in literature, may include aspirants after professional literary status, as well as scholars who cultivate literature as an auxiliary power in the performance of social or individual duties." The conditions of fellowship are to be decided literary taste, and sufficient literary ability, of which the ordinary council must first be satisfied, either by perusal of trial papers, or from the recommendation of reliable judges, be- fore candidates for fellowship can be admitted.—Literary Gazette. RECORDS IN DUBLIN.—We are glad to learn from Dublin that some attempt is to be made to put the national records there preserved, in order. We say preverved-btit this is almost an abuse of terms. As our Enghsh Records lie, some of them above the powder magazines of the Tower, others in the damp an d dirt of Westminster, so the most precious vouchers of Irish history arc trampled under foot on the floor of the dome of the Four Courts, lie beneath the level of the Liffey in the Custom-House, or stand in heaps amid dust and damp in the old Prison Tower of Dublin Castle." No one knows the contents of these papers it is only known that they are national in interest, character, and importance. Imperfect "Lists" have been made of them, or some of them, by Sir W. Betham, and by order of the late Record Commission but of their contents no man can pretend to have any knowledge. Some change is, however, to take place. Colonel Larcom, present Under-Secretary for Ireland, has cast an eye on these literary treasures and with the zeal of an antiquary, he has given instructions to the Ulster King-at-Arms to direct the cleansing and super- intend-the examination of this vast mass of historical docu- ments.—Athenceum. THE PiPE-DRAIN CONTROVERSY. While the question is being agitated in the metropolis, the surveyors of our large provincial towns are judiciously adopting the pipe system to a large extent, to the advantage of the inhabitants, both on the score of efficiency and economy and were it not that contend- ing parties are striving to gain the ascendancy in the metro- polis, the question would soon be settled by all practical men. It must not be forgotten in this discussion, that on its deci- sion hangs the alternative of drainage or no drainage for many towns not blessed with large resources, and that if the system lately sanctioned by the commissioners had been recog- nised as the proper one, such places at Tottenham, Rugby, and many others, would have been without sewerage to this day. a BM??-. The blessings derived by inumerable thousands of persons of all ranks in society from DU BARRY'S llENALENTA ARABICA FOOD, are of too palpable and well-founded a character to permit of a moment's rational doubt; for the his- tory of the world records nothing so unanimous and universal as the testimonies which have been received of the auspicious effects of this diet; and when FIFTY THOUSAND known individuals have given their personal evidence to the same purport, nothing but prejudice and stupidity could withhold concurrence from this general verdict. In the list of disorders completely cured, after having afflicted the respective patients for periods ranging from a few months to sixty years, are dyspepsia (indigestion), constipation, functional irregularity, obstruction, acidity, cramp, spasms, fits, heartburn, diarrhoea, nervousness, biliousness, affections of the liver and kidneys, pains between the shoulders, and in almost every part of the body, chronic inflamation & ulceration of the stomach, eruption on the skin, fever, scrofula, impurities, poverty of blood, con- sumption (if not beyond human aid), dropsy, rheumatism gout. influenza, grippe, nausea and vomiting after eating or at sea, low spirits, spleen, general debility, paralysis, cough, asthma, tightness across the chest, phlegm, inquietndc, sleep- lessness, involuntary blushing, tremors, dislike to society, unfitness for study, delusions, loss of memory, vertigo, blood to the head, exhaustion, groundless fear, indecision, wretched- ness, thoughts of self-destruction, &c. Besides its curati ve efficacy in cases of morbid affections, this delicious Food has been found, by experience, to form the most healthful and nutritious diet for invalids, infants, females whoso peculiar condition requires more than usually careful treatment, &c. Take one instance, furnished by Mr. Woodhouse, of Bromley, Middlesex. It was that of a lady, who was "six months suffering severely from indigestion and constipation, throwing up her meals FIwrtly after eating them, having a great deal of heartburn, and being constantly obliged to resort to physic, or the enema, and sometimes to both." The use of the food produced immediate relief; and Mr. Woodhouse proceeds:—■ "She has had a much better I time' than formerly. Not satisfied with any thanks that I can give you, she begs that I will express to you HER gratitude for this favourable change which entirely attributes to the Revalenta, and to following strictly the advice you have been so very kind as to give her from time to time. "From such an immense mass of testimon- ials, the work of selection is a perplexing one. Suffice it to say, that they breath one general tone of grateful acknow- ledgment. and that Messrs. Du Barry invite any one who wishes to test the truth of the representations made, by apply- ing to the writers themselves. This is at once, satisfactory, anti rnnvmnin<r "EVi*
