It eradicates all erup tions, tan, sun-burn, or redness : imparts to the face a roseate bloom, and sustains the attractions of loveliness and beauty, to a remote pe riod of life ; gives immediate and soothing relief in cases of parched skin, stings of insects, or any inflammation; it allays the smarting irri tability of the skin, producing a delightful and pleasing coolness, truly comfortable and refreshing, and thus prevents those disorders which disorganize the beauty of the female countenance; it imparts a match less and pleasing appearance to the completion, preserving firmly the ruination, of loveliness, and guarding them against decay to the re motest period of life. De eeee aufs Kalydor is patronised by her Majesty, and aU the female nobility of England, and recommended by most eminent physicians. Price 7s. or a large bottle containing two small ones, 10s. 6d. each. Sample bottles, Its. 6d. each. rr Jean Devereaux cautions the public against spurious imitations of this excellent and unequalled cosmetic, as impostors vend counter feits of deleterious and noxious qualities, styling their trash "Kalydor." The genuine Kalydor is prepared solely by Jean Devereaux, and sold in London only by Messrs. Price and Oosnell, Perfumers to the Royal Family, 160, Regent-street (the sole proprietors of Mons Jean De vereaux's French Perfumery). And every bottle not bearing his sig nature on the label is a gross imposition and cheat. " Envy does merit as its shade pursue, And like the shadow, p the substance true." BEARS' GRE A SE.—The Ladies are assured that W. ATKIN SON'S BEARS' GREASE is an elegant article for dressing the Hair, giving great strength to the curl, making it beautifully soft and glossy, and being delightfully perfumed with the Otto of Roses, is much preferable to the Huile Antique, &c. particularly to those who admire the rose perfume.

P r i ce and Gosnell, Perfumers to his Majesty, 160, Regent-street, to which also is attached the certificate of 11 . Norris and Nottingham, the Custom House Agents. W. A. humbly requests that his Friends and the Mils will be particular in attending to this caution, and to ask for 4 ' W. Atkin son's Bears' Grease," as there are a number of third rate Hair Dressers. of suspicious credit, who sell a counterfeit, some under the name of Thomas, James, /cc. instead of William ; others Atkins and Company, Atkins and Son, kc. instead of Atkinson. The genuine can only be bad in London, at 160, Regent-street, and 12, Three King -court, Lombard street. Also the following articles for the TOILET: WM.

PORTSMOUTH, Dzc. 25. PRICE 7D. The Onyx, 10, Lieut. Dawson, arrived here on Tuesday last, with despatches from Lisbon, which city she left on the 10th inst. She had her despatches on board five days before she was enabled to get out of the Tagus, owing to the strong wcaterley gales that prevailed. and a heavy sea running over the Bar. She arrived at Lisbon on ine 3d, with despatches from this Government, which the Portuguese Authorities promptly answered in forty eight hours. It appears this country has not yet acknowledged Don Miguel. It was well understood at Lisbon, that Lord Aberdeen had offered to do so, if a general amnesty were granted to all Portuguese; to this proposition Don Miguel was wil. Hug to. and did accede. but the Royalist faction, in whose hands he is merely a tool, over-ruled him, and rejected the terms; the prisons, conftquently, are as full of prisoners as they have been fur some months. Between the 3d and 10th inst. however, (the period within shish the Onyx was in the 'Tagus,) despatches wets received from Lord Palmerston and the New Ministry, answers to which are also brought home in the Onyx. Whether the despatches of the present Mi nister for Foreign Affairs contained any new propositions could not be learnt, but it was hoped at Lisbon that, now the country was quiet, Don Miguel would be acknowledged, and the many opulent people in confine ment be released. The Briton frigate, Capt. hfaitland. was lying in the river, waiting for orders the necessity of returning to her station off the Western islands having been removed by the circumstance of the Por. tnguese squadron. which had blockaded Terceira, lying in the Tagus, disabled for sea, without the probability of their renewing the block. ads. The ships were in bad order, and the seamen would not weigh anchor until their wages (18 months in anear) were paid them ; and the Lisbon Treasury did not contain a dollar that could be applied to this purpose. The French corvette Echo and two brigs were also lying in the Tagus. A large double bank frigate, of the same nation, had recently left the river, and returned to France. His Majest's ship Cro c odile sailed from Sydney, New South Wales, for India, 3d July. The Lapwing arrived at Pernambuco from Fal mouth 28th October ; and Druid sailed thence the same day for Bahia. The Manly sailed from Newfoundland for Bermuda 11th November. The Volage sailed fiorn Rio for Monte Video 20th Oct. The Reindeer arrived at Honduras from Falmouth and Jamaica the Galt October, and sailed Bth ditto for Vera Cruz, &c. The Brandywine, American frigate, arrived at Gibraltar on the 30th ult. from America. The Blanche frigate sailed from Halifax for Ber muda on the Gth On Sunday, arrived the Snipe and Highflyer cutters, from the Rut. ward. On Monday, the Sylvia cutter, from a cruise. On Tuesday, the Industry, naval transport, with stores from Plymouth Dock-yard ; sailed the sylvia cutter, to the Westward. On Wednesday, arrived the Arrow cutter, from the Downs; sailed the Linnet cutter, for Plymouth. To.day, sailed die Highflyer and Raven cutters, for Newhaven. At Spithcad—Herald. In Harbour—St. Vincent, Royal George, Wellesley, Ganges, BelYi dera. Undaunted, Tyne, Sapphire, Action, and Onyx. Promotions, ac.--Lieut J. B. M' Hardy has been promoted to the rank of Commander, for services performed while in command of the Pickle schooner, in the %Vest Indies. Mr. H. R. Henry, to the rank of Lieutenant, three vacancies having occurred in that list. Mr. J. G. Lean, who was lately appointed Purser of the Gannet, has exchanged with Mr. Simmonds, Purser of the Britomart. Last week, the Eagle revenue cutter, Lieutenant Knight, made a seizure of 130 casks of spirits, and lodged them in his Majesty's Cus tom House Stores at Weymouth. On Tuesday last, the Royal Naval College was inspected by Sir T. Foley, Commander-in-Chief, Captain Burdett, second in som mend, and Commissioner Sir Michael Seymour, previous to the students going home for the Christmas vacation. Nine students were considered qualified to be discharged into his Majesty's navy. The first medal was awarded to Mr. George Templeman Kingston, and the second to Mr. Augustus Thomas Hotham. A splendid dinner was given at Chatham last week, by the officers of the Rnyal Marines of that division, to Lieutenant-Colonel Clap perton, on his retiring from the service; on which occasion, as a token of their esteem and respect, they presented him with a handsome piece of plate. So much has been said of the late Lord Rodney, arising out of the circumstance of various persons claiming the cretin of originating the manoeuvre of breaking the French line of battle, on the glorious 12th of April, that an insight into his lordship's privte character became a deal. deratum. Major-Gen. Mundy, who is, we believe, his son-in-law, has supplied the omission in a new puhlfcation, of two volumes octavo, of very interesting matter; almost wholly consisting of letters from and to his Lordship, his wife, daughters, and the principal political characters of the day • with a few connecting remarks. The work is full of anecdote, an d a curious fact comes out at page 229, viz. that Lord Rodney, in an action with the French fleet under De Guichen, in April, 1780, then broke the enemy's line in the Sandwich, bat not being followed by any other British ships, he was glad to get, as it were, on his own side again. Within the last few days several outrages have been committed by Orangemen upon Catholics in the North of Ireland. The informatiotot of the Catholics have bean taken by the Magistrates at Kilrea, who have made a report on the subject to the Lords Justices. THE TURF. HUNTING.

Mr. Sullivan's stag hounds met at leer Heath on Thursday last, and had a most splendid run of two hours, taking the deer at Cheyneya, some distance beyond Rickmansworth, in a piece of water. Mr. Powell very gallantly went into it, and seizing the animal by the antlm, resolutely held him unt il secured. The huntsman himself did not scruple to fill his boots full of water on the occasion ; but Captain Locke, who has hitherto 'hewn as great • propensity to that element am a French poodle, would not face it, owing to a surfeit which he caught last Tuesday wi th the same bounds, when he charged the Thames, and nearly drowned himself and his horse by hls temerity._ Windsor Bapreu.

The Assizes terminated here this evening, and they now stand ad journed to January ; but this is only in the event of fresh disturb• antes breaking out in the county, of which, happily, there is no indi cation at present. It appears to be the general impression, that i; severity with which the law has already been enforced, a'd the t'• - termination expressed by the Judges that the utmost punislitin tt shall in all cues be inflicted in which parties are convicted of offe... involving the destruction of property by fire, or the pea e and tranquility of the country, whether by breaking machi"ery or rising in maps, in order to enforce illegal demands, will have the effect of reacting o:der and teaching the unthinking peasantry, that .• - ever may be their sufferings and privations, the laws at all er• itts must not be violated. As connected with the distresses of this eid.i.y and the dearness of provisions, I was requested by a barrister whom I met on this circuit, and who holds a farm of four hundred ace , s no great distance from Lewes, to correct& statement giving an account a the high prices at which baker's bread. bacon, and cheese were sole. la this past of Sussex. lily informant stated that generally spe,ii:i•iit every cottage baked its own bread, and that, consequently, baker's uread was purchased but in very few instances by the labouring elastics. With reirect to bacon and cheese, he assured me that so far from these articles being at the high prices fixed by your correspondent, the prire of the former article (bacon) at the present time was only from sd. to bd. per pound, while the best cheese could be had at 4d. per pound. land from that to btl. My informant added, that, as a farmer himself, he should he quite willing to prove the truth of his statement by selling 1 any quantity of the articles mentioned at the prices which be unlit:. The assizes closed with the case of Winter, who was charged with the murder of his wife. A plea of insanity was intended to have hen raised on behalf' of the poisoner, but it was abandoned, there being no medical evidence to sustain such a plea, and the prisoner is indebted for his lite to the very merciful way in which Mr. Justice Taunton ap peared to view the case, and the hint which he threw out to the jury, that the parties might have had a quarrel, and that the deceased might first have resorted to violence herself, in which case her death by the prisoner would amount to manslaughter only. lf, however, the witnesses for the prosecution spoke the truth, the great violo.lici: of the prisoner towards his unfortunate wife commenced at a few minutes after 10 o'clock at night, when her groans and cries of murder were frst heard; and at half-past two in the morning the primula (Mr there i, to doubt that it was he) was again discovered within a few steps of lois own door, which was open ; while on one knee, and seemingly in the art of endeavouring to rise, was discovered his wretched victim, staked, and to a broken voice, begging for mercy, And exclaiming, '• Oh, that p her !" or words to the saute effect. A poker with blocd and hair upon it was found in the parlour of the prisoner's house; and front the evi dence of the surgeons it appeared clearly that t veto the ma. nual labour employed in butchering the deceased must have consumed a considerable time. Every person with whom I have cony, rseil upon the subject agrees in pronouncing the murder as one of the lids, I bayous on record, and I have heard professional men declare, t!eit evidence necessary to sustain the indictment was borne out in ev. way. Under these circumstances, the escape of the prisoner from ti e capital charge was considered next to a miracle, and I have minim. , 41 the circumstance in consequence of the very strong fueling of surprise which the announcement of the verdict excited both in court raid else where. Three cases were tried on Thursday evening, the details of which cre ated some merriment in court. The defendants in each case were charged with having aided and assisted in carrying away by main force from the workhouse of the parishes to which they respectively belonged, th e assistant overseers of the poor, who had become obnoxious to them. With this view, they surrounded the workhouse, seised the instant overseer, and, placing hint in a cart which they had pre. cured for the purpose, the official distributor of bread and cheese carted to the boundaries of his parish, drawn by women, and contlact.,l with mock solemnity to • given spot, where they shot him out like a heap of rubbish. The defendants were all found guilty, and sentenc to different terms of imprisonment. The Judges are to open the Commission for the county of Surisy Thursday next, at Kingston, which will close the Home Circuit. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS, BASINGIIALL-STRCE I . TO-MORROW. II M J.

Notwithstanding all the bustle and noise that has been made here re specting • scrutiny of the voters, Mr. Stanley has, at the eit vent,' hour, declined to enter upon it, and Mr. Hunt will consequently he declared duly elected by the returning oilers at the opening of the court to-morrow. The scrutiny, as your readers are aware, was tint ap pointed to take place on Blooday last, but on that day Mr. Hunt pleaded for further time, en the ground that the official copies of the poll books had only been delivered to his friends on the pnceding evening, and it was consequently postponed until to-morrow. Thus matters stood until to-day, when (although every preparation had been made by the parties) Mr. Stanley intimated his intention ot' declining the scrutiny, thinking it more advisable to bring th e subject berm, the House of Commons. Mr. *leant Merewether was employed b% 31r. &spicy, and probably that gentleman may have recommended his client to abandon the scrutiny as hopeless. Whether he will be more MICCON. ful in the House of Commons remains to be seen.
