Wet regard the work before us, The SILENT FRIEND, as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages. and Argus. "The Authors of THE SILESTFRIEND seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints whieh are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The per- =Us style in which this book is written, and the va- luable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—ERA.

THIS faithful assistant of nature has, from intrinsic JL worth alone, during the last half century, acquired the ESPECIAL PATRONAGE ofthe several SOVEREIGNS and Conns throughout Europe, an I with RANK, FASHION, and DISCERNMENT, supersedes all preparations of pro- fessedly similar import. This Oil is pre-eminently successful in nourishing, improving and beautifying the Human Hair, in all climates, and in all stages of existence. The following is a brief notice of some of its PRINCIPAL VIRTUES, as a mild stimulative, corrective, and preservative agent, for the IIAIR. The subject is more fully treated in a small Pamphlet which accompanies each bottle of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and wherein important hints and advice will be found or:. the Culture of the f7a? in infancy, and on ils preservation and beauty through the several stages of human life. INFANCY.—Its balsamic properties nourish the Hair in its embryo state, accelerate its growth, sustain it in maturity, and continue the possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy, to the latest period of human life. Genial and purifying, it dispels all scurf and impurity, and renders the use of the fine comb unnecessary. BALDNESS.—Its re-productive powers are constantly and surprisingly shown in cases of Baldness from what- soever cause arising (proved by numerous testimonials open for inspection at the Proprietors,) in eliciting- unerringly, from the latent stem the active progression of vitality, so that in numerous instances where other specifics have been tried in vain, ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL has supers( del the ornaments of art by re-instating in full plenitude of beauty the permanent graces and utilities of nature. GREY HAIR.—Its nourishing properties are eminently successful in the PREVENTION of Grey Hair, and in the RESTORATION to its original colour-also proved by testimonials. WHISKERS AND MOUSTACHIOS.—Its extraordinary fecundity is singularly displayed in creating these orna- ments of manhood, and in the production of strono and beautiful Hair. CURL AND EMBELLISHMENT.—Its invigorating pro- perties induce a strong tendency to curl: on Artificial Hair it bestows a look of vitality and lightness—sustain- ing the Head Dress in all the beauties of decorative forma- tion, glossy curl, and silky softness, unimpaired by the heated atmosphere of crowded rooms, or damp weather. SEA-BATHING AND VIOLENT EXERCISE.—After in- dulging in either of these, so apt in their consequence (by opening the pores) to exhaust the nourishing matter secreted at the roots of the bulbs of the Hair, the Macas- sar Oil will be found most eiffcacious, both in preserving and in immediately restoring the hair to its usual appear- ? the hair to its usua l appear- ance of health with renovated brightness. CLIMATE.—This inestimable Oil preserves its virtues unimpaired by change of climate, and is alike in use from the frigid to the torrid zone, from the assemblies of St. Petersburg to those of Calcutta and the remote East. CAUTION.—Unprincipled shop-keepers, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious trash under the title of "MACASSAR OIL:" It is therefore imperative on Purchasers to see that the words ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL are in two lines on the Wrapper of each bottle, and on the inside of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters. Price 3s. 6d., 7s.—Family Bottles (equal to 4 small) 10s. 6d. and double that size, 21s. per Bottle. Sold by the Proprietors A. ROWLAND AND SON, 20, Ilatton Garden, London, and by Chemists and Per- fumers. All other "MACASSAR OILS" are FRAU- DULENT COUNTERFEITS. EXTRAORDINARY CURES BY I[(LiX)W OINTINIENT. The THE FACE ACNUD RE OA F Y INT^I ENT. A WONDERFUL CURE OF DREADFUL ULCEROUS SORES IN THE FACJ AND LEG, IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. TIle Truth of this Statement was duly attested before a Magistrate.  HUGH MACDONALD, of Lot 5,j, in King's T County, do hereby declare that a most wonderful preservation of my life has been effected by the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment; and I furthermore de- clare, that I was very much afflicted with Ulcerous Sores in my Face and Leg so severe was my complaint, that the greater part of my nose and the roof of my mouth was eaten away, and my leg had three ulcers on it, and that I applied to several Medical gentlemen who prescribed for Yn c, but I found no relief. My strength was rapidly failing every day and the malady on the in- crease, when I was induced to try Holloway's Medicines After taking two or three boxes, I experienced so much relief, and found the progress of the disease was so much arrested, that I was enabled to resume my ordinary labours in the field. The sores which were so disagree- able and repulsive to behold are now nearly all healed. Having received such truly beneficial aid, I feel myself bound'to express my gratitude to the person by who, means I have thus been restored from the pitiable and hIp state I was in; and for the sake of humanity make known my case, that others similarly situated might be relieved. (Signed) HUGH MACDONALD. This declaration made before me, at Bay Fortune, the 3d day of September, 184.5. JOSEPH COFFIX, J us lice of the Peace. The above case of Hugh Macdonald, of Lot 55, came personally under my observation and when he first ap- plied to me to get some of the Medicines, I thought his case utterly hopeless, and told him that his malady had got such hold that it was only throwing his money away to use them. He, however, persisted in trying them, and to my astonishment I find what he has aforesaid stated to be perfectly correct, and consider the case to be a most wonderful cure. (Signed) WM. UNDERHAY, Bay Fortune. A CURE OF RINGWORM OF FOUR YEARS' STANDING. Copy of a Letter from Mrs. Grace Moro, 6, Hemlock Court, Carey-street, London, 6tlt November, 1845.— To Professor Holloway. Siii,-About four years ago my little girl caught the Ring- worm, and although I have ever since had advice from many Doctors, and tried every means to get rid of it, yet I was unable to do so. About three weeks ago I was induced to try some of your Pills and Ointment, and I am most happy to say the result has been a perfect cnre. (Signed) GRACE MORO. Skin Diseases, peculiar to any part of the Globe, may be effectually Cured by the use of these celebrated Medicines. CURE OF A DESPERATE CASE OF ERYSIPELAS. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Joseph Gildon, Jan., a Farmer, East Keal, near Spilsby, Lincolnshire, 8th, April, 184G.- To Professor Holloway. Si I have the gratification to announce to 'ou a most wonderful cure wrought upon mpel!, by the use of your Ointment and Pills. 1 had a severe attack of Erysipelas in mv right foot, which extended along my ankle, and was attended with swellin" and inflammation to an alarming de- gree, insomuch that 1 was unable to move without the use of crutches. I consulted a very eminent Physician, besides other medical men, but to no purpose. At last I tried your Ointment and Pills, when, strange to say, in less than two weeks the swelling and inflammation gradually subsided to such a degree that I was enabled to pursue my daily avoca- tion, to tHe utter surprise and amazement of those who were acquainted with my case, seeing that 1 was cured so quickly. I and mv lamilv are well known here, as my father holds liis farm under the 'Rev. J. Spence, Rector of our parish. (Signed) JosRpu GILDON". THE TESTIMONY OF DR. BRIGHT, OF EI.Y-PLACE, HOL- nORN, AS TO THE EXTRAORDINARY POWElt OF HOLLO- WAY'S OINTMENT IN THE CURE OF ULCERATED SORES. Extract of a Letter from the above celebrated Physician. To Professor Holloway. SJR,-I thilk it I)ti t,-tyi a,et'of j Usti ee to inform vou thatlhave tried your Ointment in several old cases of Ulcerated Sore Legs, which for a considerable time had resisted every kind of treatment, but which were afterwards elfectuallv cured by its use. In the treatment of Bad Breasts I have' also found your Ointment ot the greatest service. Indeed, from my practical knowledge, I conceive it to be a most invaluable remedy. >NNE^) RICHARD BRIGHT, M.D. Sold at the establishment of Professor Holloway, 244, Strand, near Temple bar, London, and by almost all respectable Druggists and Dealers in Medicines through- out the civilized world, at the following prices in Pots :— Is. lid., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., lis., 22s., and 33s. each.

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager has arrived at Ostend. She was received on landing by Sir Hamilton Seymour, G.C.H., by General Crockenberg, Aid-de- Camp to the King of the Belgians, and the authorities of the town. A guard of honour was in attendance, and on her arrival salutes were fired by the packets belonging to the South-Eastern and Continental Steam Company, General Steam Navigation, &c. Her Majesty appeared in excellent spirits. In consequence of the, death of the Pope, the oldest) Sovereign in Europe is now Ernest Augustus, King of Hanover, born June 5, 1771. The next in age is the King of the French, born October 5, 1773. Sir R. Peel has granted Dr. Wolff a sum of E400 in order to enable the reverend gentleman to repay certain advances made by Captain Grover towards his expenses when travelling to Bokhara. A daily paper says that the Duke of Buccleuch has just had erected, on a farm, of which his grace is land- lord, a set of cottages, after a new style, each contain- ing four apartments, having two stories, and designed for one family. This is the first step of the kind in this country, and deserves to be made widely known. Those landlords who have sighed over the statements of Mr. Chadwick, in his report of the agricultural districts in England and Scotland, may try and estimate the impor- tance of such an event by imitation. It is reported that Sir James Graham will be imme. diately elevated to the peerage by the title of Lord Preston. Lord Francis Egerton is to be elevated to the peerage by the title of Lord Ellesmere. Mr. David Pollock (elder brother of the Chief Baron of the Exchequer) has received the appointment of Chief Justice of Bombay, the salary of which is fSOOO per annum. A Commissionership of the Insolvent Debtors' Court becomes vacant by this appointment, which, it is expected, will be given to Mr. Cooke, the barrister. Large placards are posted throughout London this week, offering employment to three thousand tailors. A painful case has occurred at Shefford. Some lightermen quarrelled at the White Horse inn, at Biggleswade, and a fight between two of them a few days afterwards was the result. After the fight a young man of the name of Gray, one of the combatants, was leaving, when his adversary gave him a brutal kick in the abdomen, and caused instant death. His bladder was burst. After killing him, the brute was about to throw the body into the locks, but was prevented.— Bristol Mercury. The declared value of British woollen goods exported in 1845, was £7,693,118. The poor-rates in England were, in 1803, E5,348,205 in 1818, at their highest, being £ 9,320,000; while in 1814 they amounted to ;E6,848,717 in 1838 they were only £ 5,186,389. The Royal Agricultural Society of England hold their next great annual meeting, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in the third week of July. Messrs. Dryden, the great printing-machine makers, of London, have set up a machine at the Times' office, which prints the enormous number of 5760 sheets per hour! At a recent auction of sheep, held in Nottinghamshire, and attended by agriculturists from every part of the kingdom, forty-two guineas were bid for a sheep, and yet this did not effect the purchase The inauguration of the grand Northern Railroad of France, this week, has excited the greatest interest throughout France and Belgium. By this line, a direct communication by railway is established between the capitals of the two kingdoms. The German papers announce that the Emperors of Russia and Austria, and the King of Prussia, are to meet at Vienna in September next. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 1st, contradicts in the most positive manner the statement, in several of the German journals, that the cholera had shown itself on several points of the frontiers of Russia in Europe. It has not, says the letter, approached these frontiers. We understand that parties, in their income-tax re- turns, will not be allowed to deduct any thing on account of losses by railway speculation-such losses not being in any trade or profession. The following dreadful accident occurred at Angers, a few days ago :—A man employed to repair the sink of a house was suddenly affected by the deleterious gas that arose from it, and fell in. Three workmen went down successively to rescue the poor fellow, but they all shared his fate, and were taken out lifeless. At Glasgow a floating church has just been launched. The vessel is built of iron, perfectly flat underneath, the one end formed after the fashion of a bow, and the other, or stern part, quite square. A ragged school has been established in Birmingham. Two evenings a week it is attended by one hundred females, and on four evenings by seventy or eighty males. A Jesuit college is about being built at Tremeirchion, in the county of Denbigh. Miss Jane Wilkinson, a young lady just returned from Barbadoes, destroyed herself at Greenwich, on Saturday, by swallowing about an ounce of the essential oil of almonds, which she had got her sister-in-law to purchase, under the pretence that she wished to take it back to Barbadoes for culinary purposes. The illness of a beloved sister is the only known cause of the act. Joseph Mortimer, the pretended American merchant, has been committed to Newgate for trial for two cases of fraud on Mrs. Loyer, and"for marrying Mrs. Wright when he had a former NIt-s. Langhorn, alive. Accounts from Barcelona of the 12th inform us that some Spanish refugees had entered Catalonia by the French frontier to effect a risinir. An armed band pene- trated into the province of Girona on the evening of the 8th, and endeavoured to rouse up the population against the late system of taxation but they were driven across the frontier again by the Queen's troops. The mortal remains of the late Pope of Rome was consigned to the grave in St. Peter's on the 3rd inst. The funeral procession was followed by a large body of cardinals and prelates. The accounts from Algiers in the Paris journals are of the 10th. At that time nothing positive was known about Abd-el-Kader. Even General Yusuf, who was to have captured the Emir, does not pretend to know where he is to be found. In the committee on the Oldham District Railway Bill on Wednesday, Mr. Nightingale a manufacturer of lucifer matches and pill-boxes at Ncwton-heath, stated that he uses 600 tons of timber and that he employs 300 persons on an a "erage thronghout the year that he exports to all parts of Eurone and North America and Australia, besides sending large quantities to every part of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The ravages of pleumonia-pneumoiiia amongst cattle are fearfully prevalent at the present time. The fatal cases are so numerous, frequently to the extent of one-half or two-thirds of a herd, that the premium of insurance for stock amongst which It has prevailed has been neces- sarily increased. The caprice of this disease is extra- ordinary, and as little to be accounted for as the potatoe murrain. It frequently breaks out on a farm where it had never before been heard of, or even known in the locality, and when once it has appeared, not only extends amongst the stock, but also to the neighbouring farms. .-Agricultural Journal. The trustees of the Dublin Relief Fund have already received from India 1:6,000 for the relief of the destitute Irish. The last £ 1,000 was received on Thursday se'nnight. The chairman of the fund in India is Mr. Peel, brother of the premier. Mr. Ackers retires from the representation of Ludlow at the next general election. Mrs. Bray, appointed nurse to the young Princess, is a native of Newcastle, in this county, and formerly a Miss Walker.—Limerick Chronicle. A man named Travers was killed in a prize fight for 30s. near Southampton last week. At the Central Criminal Court, on Wednesday, Joseph Corter, indicted for the murder of John Oddy, in a public-house brawl, was convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to transportation for life. A grand Temperance Convention is to take place at Covent Garden Theatre on the 7th of August. 500 delegates from different parts of the world are expected to attend.Globe. It is said that the expenses incident to ventilating the New Houses of Parliament will amount to no less than 1:80,000, which after all may be thrown away. The Art Union in speaking of it says :—" This sum, or a little added to it, would have built a National Gallery worthy of England." In consequence of the hot weather, all the iron works in the South Staffordshire District have been completely at a stand still, the men not being able to stand the heat of the fire and it has thrown about 1,000 men and boys out of employment. The Morning Chronicle says, We regret to say, that from a close enquiry in different parts of the country, and an inspection of the growing crop, con- ducted by highly creditable parties well known to us, the potato disease has again appeared, and at, it will be observed, a very much earlier period than last year." One day, Dunning, the barrister, (whose exterior graces were by no means commensurate with his personal vanity,) had been cross-examining a young woman at considerable length upon the age of a person with whom she professed herself well acquainted, when he asked her How old do you take me to be ?" and was considerable dumbfoundered by her promptly replying, to the universal laughter of a crowded court, From your appearance lixty, fiom your question sixteen!" A gentleman arrived in London from the United States a few days since, with letters of introduction and of credit to Messrs. Heath, Furse, and Co., of the Old Jewry; who informed him that though the letters were quite satisfactory, they had made up their minds to give no more credit to Americans until the latter should have paid their debts. Nearly half of the French army can neither read nor write, viz., 124,134 out of 252,383 men. Disease is so rife among the French troops in Africa, that one battalion alone has been reduced, after a few months's marching, to one hundred and five men, its number at first being five hundred men. Major Beniowski is stated to have discovered a simple process by which the daily newspapers or any book printed from commofl type, may be printed so as to be read by the blind. In the year 1821, 322 ships and 12,78S men were en- gaged in the British whale-fishery; in 1841, these numbers had fallen to 85 ships and 3008 men being a decrease in 20 years of 237 ships and 9780 men, or 73-100ths. Mr. Sydney Herbert is to be opposed in South Wilt- shire. The opposition is fully organised, and the can- didate named is Mr. Mills.—Mr. Rigby Wason has again addressed the electors of Ipswich, soliciting their votes at the ensuing election.—Mr. Vincent (the Chartist) is also announced as a candidate.—Mr. Baring Wall, M.P. for Guildford, is to stand for Salisbury. Mr. Campbell WTyndham's re-election is considered certain: the contest, therefore, will be between Mr. Wall and Mr. Hussey. The repeal rent has sunk to about £100 per week. The cod and herring fisheries on the east coast of Scotland are said to be very productive this year. The new pier at Beaumaris was opened last week. In addition to the extensive arrivals of fruit and other articles of general consumption, the production of Hol- land, the quantities of potatoes brought over for the supply of our markets are also very large. The laws against intoxication are enforced with great vigour in Sweden. Whoever is seen drunk is fined, for the first offence, three dollars for the second, six: for the third and fourth, a still larger sum and is also de- prived of the right of elections, and of being appointed a representative. He is, besides, publicly exposed in the parish church on the following Sunday. For repe- titions of the same offence, the punishment is imprison- ment, with hard labour. Mr. Mackinnon has again introduced his Smoke Pro- hibition Bill into Parliament, and it has been issued in a printed form (containing seventeen clauses) by direc- tion of the House of Commons. It proposes the ap- pointment by Justices of an inspector of smoke nuisances for the district; and the prohibition of the issue or escape of opaque smoke from furnaces, under a penalty not exceeding F,5 for each offence, excepting during such time as is bona fide necessary for the kindling of the fire of such furnaces. The title of the bill limits its operation to the nuisance of smoke from furnaces or manufactories." Indian meal is growing very extensively into use in the south of Ireland, in the place of potatoes. A learned doctor, referring to tight-lacing, avers that it is a public benefit, inasmuch as it kills all the foolish girls, and leaves the wise ones to grow up to be women. DOLGELLEY.—MOURNFUL OCCURRENCE.—It is our melancholy duty this week to record the death by drowning, whilst bathing, of two sons of Mr. Jones, Governor of the County Gaol. It appears that, on the afternoon of Monday last, they went to bathe at Pen- maenpool, accompanied by a cousin residing at Oswestry, and the eldest son of Mr. Jones, Solicitor. They crossed the river in a boat; and plunged in at a very dangerous spot they had previously been cautioned not to go near the place. One of the boys, named George, a youth of 15, could swim, but William, aged 11, was unable. The following is an account of the melancholy event as it transpired before the coroner. George Jones, of Oswestry, deposed to the above facts; that he went with the deceased to bathe they bathed a little higher up the river than Penmaenpool house, and on the other side of the water. When in the river George swam about did not see him sinking, as witness was some distance from him saw William in danger, and went for the boat, but could not bring it up in time. John Jones, deposed that he was swimming about with George, who was trying to teach his brother to swim George called out that William was sinking witness swam to his assistance, placed his arm under William, in order to take him to shore, but failed, in consequence of being unable to swim with one hand was pulled under the water; after rising, George said, You go for assistance, and I will stop with him." Witness went, but on coming back, found that both had sunk to rise no more. Verdict-" Accidental death." The bodies were found in a few hours after. Every exertion was made to recover the bodies in time for resuscitation, but without avail. The deceased were most promising youths and their untimely end has excited the deepest sorrow in the town and neighbourhood. The inhabitants sincerely sym- pathise with Mr. and Mrs. Jones, on their unhappy bereavement. -Cai-?za)-voit Herald- MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT IN PARIS.—We sincerely regret having to announce the death of Mr. Thomas Lyons, jun., eldest son of Mr. Lyons, of the firm of Shackell and Lyons, the extensive printers' ink makers, of Coppice-row, Lonaon. t rom letters received, it ap- peared that deceased (who was engaged in conducting a large establishment for ink-making, on behalf of his father, about three miles from Paris, and on the banks of the Seine), proceeded on Sunday last, with some friends, to St. Cloud, where they all remained during the night, and on Monday, contrary to the advice of his companions, he embarked on board a small sailing boat he had purchased, accompanied onl > by a Swiss labourer, who was in his employ. \Ve know not how far thcv had progressed, but a sudden gust of wind, about mid-day, upset the boat, when, melancholy to add, as neither of them could swim, poor Lyons lost his life, and his com- panion, who was to all appearance dead, was, after great perseverance, restored. Twenty minutes elapsed ere the body of Mr. Lyons was found; and although every endeavour was made to resuscitate him, it proved una- vailing. He was in his twenty-second year, and a young man of considerable intellectual acquirements, possessing every good moral quality c and social virtue, standing upon the pinnacle of estimation with those who knew him in London, Paris, and a great portion of the conti- nent, over which he was a frequent traveller; he had j engrafted himself strongly upon their affections, pro- ) mising to adorn in no ordinary degree that portion of society with which he was identified. His loss will be I j severely felt by a doting family, and intensely deplored by his friends and acquaintances, and certainly by the | writer of this humble tribute to his memory, who knew him from infaiicy.-Sutz. ALARMING OCCURRENCE AT WEST BRONI wi c ii.-Aii alarming and very extraordinary circumstance took | place on Sunday evening last at Hateley Heath, Wcst- bromwich-—-the total and immediate disappearance of three houses, in consequence of the thick coal having been got from under them some time since by Thomas Davies, Esq., who is working the colliery in which the event occurred. The houses were inhabited, but fortu- nately no lives were lost. The occupiers had no warn- ing all day on the Sunday of what was about to take place. Only about two hours before the houses gave way a crack was observed in the middle house, but no noise or report was heard. About half-past eight o'clock the middle of one of the houses suddenly fell in, an alarm was made, and as soon as the people could get out, the whole of the buildings, with a great crash, immediately sank down, the tops of the houses being five or six yards below the level of the surface, covered with the soil which had fallen in around. The width of the hole is about ten yards, and the length about thirteen. The occupier of one of the houses was William Horton, who, with his wife and one son was out when it occur- red. Horton had lived in the house 32 years. Joseph Bedworth occupied another house he has a wife and two children, and two or three lodgers. They were all out at the time except the mother and son. The latter had been in bed most of the afternoon, and had got up a short time before it happened. He intended to set out early the next morning to a fair, but his money, E43, with his clothes, were lost in the general ruin. The mother dealt in flour, provisions, &c. She lost two sacks of flour, and nearly everything she possessed. The other house was occupied by Joseph Parkes, who has a wife and five children. One of his children was sent to bed for misbehaviour only a few minutes before the event occurred. When the alarm was made the child had only time to run down stairs and out of the house soon enough to save her life. Parkes worked the pit at the time the coal was got from under the houses, about three years ago. These people are now in distress they had scarcely time to' carry anything out of the houses previously to their being swallowed up; and have lost nearly their all. Had this event occurred about two hours later, when the people had re- í tired to rest, not one of them, we believe, could have escaped. It is, therefore, a very providential affair. The premises stood upon the property of the lIon, F. Gough, of Perry Hall, who had given the occupiers notice to quit three or four months before, but as they did not apprehend any danger, they refused to leave the houses. They were lately purchased.by Mr. John Hartland, of Hill Top, for the purpose of pulling them down. No blame can be attached either to the pro- prietor of the mines or the owner of the premises. Se- veral such untoward events-the falling in of large por- tions of earth—had taken place before in the immediate neighbourhood, but happily the houses escaped until now. The event has caused such a sensation in the neighbourhood that thousands of people have been to see the place. -Staffordshire Advertiser. AN EFFECTUAL CURE.-By the ancient laws of Hun- gary, a man convicted of bigamy was condemned to live with both wives in the same house. The crime was, in ( consequence, extremely rare. FIRE AT THE BRISTOL BARRACKS.— BUISTOL, JUNE 21. The attention of the inhabitants of Bristol was called last night, at about 10 o'clock, to the appearance of a vivid light in the horizon, apparently about two or three miles to the north-east of the city, and conjecture was rife as to its cause, some persons supposing it to be some hay-stacks, whilst others, and by far the greatest portion, including the police authorities, from its situa- tion being nearly north of the city, and from there being very few houses in the supposed neighbourhood whence it emanated, concluded that the appearances in the sky were nothing more nor less than the northern lights or aurora borealis. Mr. Williams, engineer of the Norwich Union, and the engineers of the various other fire-offices, notwithstanding their being laughed at for being about to put out the northern lights," very praiseworthily attached horses to the various engines, and proceeded as speedily as possible in the direction from which the light proceeded, and after proceeding about two miles from the city on the Horfield-road, it became apparent to them that, instead of being the aurora borealis, the extensive horse and foot barracks now erecting for Bristol in that vicinity were wrapped in flames. The appearance as they proceeded through the quiet country was awfully grand the night was unusually dark, and one vast sheet of flame arose majestically into the air, lighting up the whole of the surrounding country. Upon arriving at the barracks it was discovered that the fire had originated in the saw-mills, which, together with the carpenter's shops and the large piles of tiniber by which they were surrounded, were all enveloped in one entire mass of flame. Of course it was perfectly vain to attempt the preservation of any of this mass of burn- ing timber, and the efforts of the firemen and persons present were at once directed to the preservation of the surrounding quadrangle containing the barrack rooms, the floor and woodwork of which were just being laid down, and to the removal of as much of the surrounding timber, of which there were vast quantities upon the ground, as was possible, so as to prevent the fire from spreading. In these efforts they were happily successful, and the further progress of the flames was arrested. The fire continued burning during the whole of the night with the utmost fury, and it was not until after 6 o'clock this morning that it was at all got under. It is however still burning, and it will be some days before the fire proceeding from such a mass of burning timber can be thoroughly extinguished. Of course in the con- fusion at present existing the extent of the damage cannot be ascertained with any degree of accuracy but I should say the loss of Mr. Baker, the contractor, must be at least from £ 3,000 to £ 4,000, in addition to which the poor workmen have all lost their tools-a loss to them of the most serious description. The causes of this fire lay hid in complete mystery, inasmuch as there was no fire upon the premises but I have heard from respec- table authority that it is supposed to have been the act of an incendiary. Should this be so, I hope every means will be adopted to lead to his or their detection. Times Correspondent. A WATERLOO MUSKET BALL.—We were yesterday (Thursday), the 31st anniversary of the battle of Water- loo, favoured with the sight of a musket ball that had wounded one of our brave soldiers in the midst of that great battle. Between 3 and 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the 18th of June, 1815, whilst the second battalion of British Infantry, under the command of Lord Harris, in solid square, was resisting a charge of French Cuirassiers, led on by Marshal Ney. private James Brian, of the 73d Regiment, received a musket ball in his head -just above the left temple. He was carried off the field by his comrades, apparently dead, but ultimately recovered, and now resides in Beck-street, in this town. Many efforts have been made to extract the ball, but they all proved ineffectual on Tuesday last,, however, it made its way out, through the poor fellow's mouth, after having subjected him to almost continued torture since it entered. He is now, we are happy to say, free from pain, and appears likely to enjoy t)ettcl.. health than he has done since he left the army. The ball on one side was quite flattened.—J\otts Mercury. IBUAIIIM PACHA IN A WHALE'S BELLY.—In the course of one of his evening rambles in Birmingham, Ibrahim Pacha expressed his intention to visit the ske- leton of a whale exhibiting there, which measures nearly eighty feet in length. On the proprietor being requested to clear the place for the Prince, he did so with alacrity but no sooner was his Highness admitted than the showman conducted him with all gravity into the whale's belly, where he suddenly slipped away, and left his Highness to make the best of his way through the ribs of the monster. Appearing on the stage, the showman seized a large gong, and blowing a trumpet, gathered the crowd around, whom he addressed thus Now's the time, ladies and gemmen — walk up, walk up. -i xva l k up, walk up Abraham, king of Egypt, and all his officers are at this moment in my whale's belly, and can't find their way out without me." This had the desired effect, and every man, woman, and child who could command a penny rushed to the caravan, and glad was the Prince to get himself squeezed safely out of it. ATTEMPTED ASSASSI A TlO ,-On Thursday, at Bow street, James Hannan, living at 3, Feathers court, Drury lane, was c harged with stabbing his wife in the neck with a dinner-knife. Policeman 134 F found the prisoner's wife sitting on the step of the door bleeding from a wound in the neck. She said her husband had stabbed her. itness found a knife in the kitchen, and she stated that it was the instrument with which he in- flicted the wound. A certificate from Mr. H. Smith house-surgeon at King's College Hospital, described the wound as a severe, though not dangerous, one. The prisoner said that the woman did it herself. They had been drinking during the day, but he gave her no pro- vocation. There being no evidence at present to dis- prove this statement Mr Hall remanded him for a fort- night, admitting him to bail. TIIE LEAGUE.—We understand that the members of the Anti-Corn-law League will assemble in a day or two after the Corn-bill has received the royal assent, and will declare that the object for which they united has been accomplished. They will then, it is said, announce that no further subscriptions are required, and will ad- journ the sittings of the League sine die. A committee will be appointed to see that no attempt is made to repeal the bill, or to re-establish protection. If no such attempt is made, the League will never assemble again but if it is, it will immediately be called together to defend what it has already won. Its life or death will therefore depend upon the conduct of the Protectionists themsel ves. After the League has been dissolved, the friends of free trade will be called together, and steps will be taken to acknowledge the unexampled services of Mr. Cobden in the cause of commercial freedom.— Liverpool Times. DEATH OF Two MEN FROM GLANDERS.—About three weeks ago, Messrs. Wing, grocers and druggists, of Leicester, had a horse that died, which they sold to a knacker, named Whitaker, of Melton Mowbray, for 10s. Whitaker skinned the horse, and a few days after was taken ill, and kept gradually getting worse until Tuesday, when he died. It appears that the horse died of the glanders and when Whitaker was skinning it he acci- dentally rubbed his head with his hand, having at the same time a small pimple on his head, which caused inoculation and its fearful consequences. A man named Pick, an old servant of Messrs. Wing, also died from the same frightful disease, he having had the carc and management of the horse until it died, but how the disease was conveyed to him is not known. Another man, named Hawley, who assisted Whitaker to skin the horse, has been taken ill, and it is much feared his is the same disease. THE TURN OUT IN MANCHESTER.—We are glad to find that this dispute is likely soon to terminate many of the workmen are daily signing the declaration re- quired by the masters, and returning to their employ- ment. Overtures are being constantly made from the men to the employers to receive them back again into their old shops, and where this is practicable, the request of the worthy meri who have hitherto been coerced is complied with. — Times. A STRANGE PRovisio-It has lately been decided by the Court of Amsterdam, that the law which obliges the State to provide for the seventh child in any family where the first six are living, is still in vigour; in con- sequence of which the State was condemned to pay to a man named Hoogland, 250 florins per annum (E21), till his seventh child shall have reached the age of 18, or to provide for it till that time. The sentence was confirmed by the Court Royal of La Hague. THE HORSE-CHARMER.—Doubtless, onr readers must have heard of the extraordinary gift said to be possesed by an Irishman named Sullivan, who exercised a power over horses that no other horse-breaker in the united kingdom ever obtained, by means of whispering. He is, therefore, better known in the sporting circles by the soubriquet of the Whisperer." It may not be known that the grandson of this extraordinary man (George Church), who practices the art of horse-breaking and training in Sydney, possesses the secret of charming this noble animal which gained for his grandsire so much celebrity. We have had frequent opportunities lately of witnessing his performances, and can confidently vouch for his skill. He will take a wild unbroken colt from the and in 24 hours make him so docile and obedient, without severe treatment, that the animal, at command, will lie down under him, feigning death, and remain until roused from the apparent stupor in which he has been thrown, by mesmeric passes and slight ma- nipulation (as it appears to us) on the nervous system, by a slight touch of a rattan. The animal will then lick the face of the operator, put his tongue in his mouth, and whisper in his ear at a signal. Church will then lie down on the broad of his back, and place the animal's fore-foot on the pit of his stomach, also his hind-foot on his teeth, without danger of being pressed too hard. When the horse is relieved from the stupor into which he appears to be thrown, he resists a repeti- tion of the operation as long as he can, until, subdued by the irresistible charm of this extraordinary man, he relapses into the mesmeric state, and is then passively obedient to his will.—Sydney Sentinel. TAHITI.—The COllrrier Franr;,ais of Tuesday states that the French Government have received some serious news from Otnheite. Engagements of a severe nature have taken place between our soldiers and the natives of the different islands, which M. Bruat had ordered to be subjected. But the most serious fact is the connivance of the English missionaries, who have openly sent powder and ammunition to the rebellious natives. Several boxes of cartridges have been seized, which were Ci^ered with Bibles and religious books. The marks of the English manufacturers have also been found on the muskets left by the natives on the field of battle. We shall now see what Government will do after such occur- rences, which are continually taking place." ATTORNEYS v. BARRISTERS.—On Saturday last, the Solicitor-General applied to the Court of Queen's Bench for a rule, calling upon the defendants to show causc' why a ce?toray't should not issue to bring up an order madu by the justices of Denbigh in quarter sessions, by which it was directed that for the future exclusive audience should be given to barristers in that court whenever four of them should be in actual attendance. It ap- peared from the statement of the learned counsel, that down to the passing of the Welsh Judicature Act, 11 George IV., and 1 William IV., attorneys had acted as advocates in all the courts of quarter sessions throughout the principality, except upon the few occasions upon which barristers were taken into those courts upon special retainers. The act above- mentioned enabled the Welsh attorneys to practise in the superior courts at Westminster, and allowed the attorneys of the latter courts to practise in the tribunals of.Wales. No change had, however, been made in the system of advocacy in the Welsh courts themselves until the making of the order which was the suhicct of the present application; and the question to be decided upon this motion was, whether the defendants, and all the other courts of quarter sessions in Wales, possessed the power to exclude from the practice of advocacy in those courts that class which had been in the habit of so practising from all time. He, the learned Solicitor- General, was aware that it it had been decided that ma- gistrates exercising a summary jurisdiction had the power to make such an order as the present. The case which laid down the principle, was that of Collar f. Hicks." In that case, however, although it was decided that every court possessed the power to regulate the manner of its own proceedings, yet an exception was made in reference to any case where any particular class had obtained, from ancient usage, a right to ad- dress the court upon the business before it. Such ancient usage existed in favour of the attorneys in the present case and as many of the cases before such tribunals affected the rights and liberties of poor persons, who wftuld be unable to bear the expense of engaging barristers as their advocates, it was a matter of great importance to that large body of poor and humble suitors, that they should not be deprived of the services of the advocates whose assistance they could obtain upon more reasonable terms than those of the members of the higher branch of the profession. Lord Denmaa said that it was desirable that no doubt should be enter- tained about the important principle that every court should have the power to regulate its own practice; and even admitting the propriety of the exception to this principle, which was stated by the Solicitor-General, the present case did not come within that exception. Tho argument of cheapness was as applicable to this court (of Queen's Bench), as to the courts of quarter sessions in Wales, and might even be still further extended to some other class who may be disposed to undertake the conduct of causes upon cheaper terms than even the attorneys. In this court cases were often tried for small sums, and concerning the rights and liberties of humblo persons and the argument, in favour of allowing attorneys to practise as advocates in the courts of quar- ter sessions, would be applicable here. It was, Low- ever, necessary that an orderly system for the conduct of the proceedings of this and every other court should be established by the court itself, according to its dis- cretion in the circumstances in which it was placed. This court saw nothing to object to in the manner in which that discretion was exercised by the defendants, and thought, therefore, that there were no grounds for interfering, and that the application ought to be there- fore refused. TIIE MEXICAN PEOPLE.—The population of Mexico is estimated at 9,000,000 though it probably does not exceed 7,000,000. Though it contains several mixtures, the greater portion are aboriginal Indians. Among the rest are European Spaniards, Creoles, or natives de- scended from Europeans Mustejos, or descendants of Whites and Indians Zambas, or descendant* of Negroes and Indians; Mulattoes, or descendants of Whites and Negroes a mixture of these varieties, Negroes, and a few Malays from China and the islands of the Indian Ocean, especially the Philippines, a Spa- nish colony. The Negroes are not numerous, as slavery was never extensive in the Spanish continental colonies, and was abolished on the separation of Mexico from Spain, in 1810. In character, the Indians, who con- stitute seven-tenths of the whole population, are in- telligent, docile, peaceful, rather industrious, and very ingenious in mechanical arts, especially those of painting, carving and moulding. They are gentle, kind, and hos- pitable and though intemperate, like all the American Indians, north or south, they exhibit no violent or fero- cious propensities when intoxicated. They exhibit capacity for improvement under good government, and would quarrel with no government that protected them in person and property, and encouraged them in deve- loping their resources, mental and physical. If Mexico should be conquered and annexed to our union, what would be the fate of this Indian population ? If a good Government were established, the great resources of the country would invite large numbers of Americans, who would infuse a new spirit into the Mexican popula- tion. Its fertile valleys and table lands would invite large numbers of Germans and other continental Euro- peans. Under American laws, and the protection of the Federal Government, this European population, mixed with the Americans from the States, would soon become as much American in character and feeling as the European population of any present section of the Union. And bcth, operating upon the native Mexican population, would gradually raise it far above its present standard. The European population, instead of incor- porating itself with the North American Indians, has gradually exterminated them. But this would not be the fate of the Mexican Indians. The aborigines of the United States were savages; those of Mexico are civilized, and therefore would as readily assimilate with any European races as those races would with each other. Annexation would confer the greatest of benefits upon the population of Mexico.-Philadelphia Ledger. THE MARRIAGE OF GEORGE IV.—When she was taken to the palace, the prince came to her after some delay, and having receive d her, turned away and called for a glass of brandy. Water was suggested, but the prince negatived it with an oath, and left I the room. That was a trivial specimen of brutality. Worse might have been expected from a prince wno, talking of his approaching marriage with a lady he had never seen, called it buying a pig in a poke," and who declared to the Lord Chancellor that "he, the prince, was not the sort of person who would let his hair grow under his wig to please his wife," worse might have been expected from such a quarter-and worse came. On the night of the wedding the exigeant prince, who looked for somuch refinement and courtly etiquette in his wife, reeled drunk into the bridal chamber, and fell under the gratc.- Bell's Life of Canning. RIPPING OPEN NEGROES. Senor Geronimo Paez, director of a Brazilian diamond mine, having reason to suspect a negro for stealing diamonds, ordered him to be ripped open, when a magnificent rose diamond was found in his intestines. Encouraged by the success of this first experiment, he ordered it to be tried on the second, third, and fourth suspected negro, but in each case the victims were innocent, no diamonds were found. This result, however, did not check Senor Paez, who repeated this atrocious act upon two more negroes, but unsuccessfully. His conduct at last reached the ears of the proprietors of the mine, by whom he was summoned before the tribunal of Vilia Bella. By the judlment delivered on the 25th Feb. last, we learn that Paez was ordered to pay Senores Cifuentes and Co., the lessees of the mines of Brassala, a sum of 2,500 piastres as the value of the five negroes of whom he had de- pi-ived the company by putting them to death, without any utility. No order was made for the first negro, as his death was for the benefit of the owners I For the crime, no proceedings had been taken. SUPPOSED POPULATION OF THE WOTILD.N-ine hundred and sixty millions of human beings are sup- posed to be upon the earth, of which Europe is said to contain one hundred and fifty-three millions; Africa, one hundred and fifty-six millions Asia, five hundred mil- lions America, one hundred and fifty millions and the islands in the Pacific, seven millions. If divided in 30 equal parts, five of them will be Christians, six Moham- medans, one part Jews, and eighteen Pagans. Christians are numerous in Europe and America, some in the south of Asia, and a few in Africa. Mohammedans are numerous in Asia, Africa, and the south-east of Europe. Pagans abound in Africa, and the interior of Amcrica, some in Asia, and a small number in the north of Europe. POINTS OF HONOUR.—Col.
