Comparative Natritive Properties of F00d...-. During the last year, a very interesting report on this subject was presented to the French Minister of the Interior, by Messrs. Percy anti Vaguelin, two Members of the Institute. The result of their ex periments is as follows:—In bread every hundred pounds weight are found to contain eighty pounds of nutritious matter : butcher's meat, .avera g e ing the various sorts, contains only thirty-five pounds in one hundred ; French beans (in the grain) ninety.two in one hundred ; broad beans eighty-nine; pease ninety-three; lentiles (a kind of half pea little known in England) ninety-foar pounds in one hun• dred; greens and turnips, which are the most aque ous of all vegetables used for domestic purposes, furnish only eight pounds of solid nutritious sub stance in one hundred; carrots fourteen pounds; and what is very remarkable as being in opposition to the hitherto acknowledged theory, one hundred pounds of potatoes only yield twenty-five pounds of sAstance valuable as nutrition. One pound of good bread is equal to two pounds a half or three p muds of the hest potatoes; and seventy-five pounds tit' bread and thirty pounds of meat are equal to three hundred pounds of potatoes; or to go more into detail, three quarters of a pound of bread and five ounces of meat are equal to three pounds of pa:attics; one pound of potatoes is equal to four pounds of cabbage, and three of turnips; but one pound of rice, broad beans, or French beans (in grain), is equal to three pounds of potatoes. This calculation is considered perfectly correct, and may b: valuable in families where the best mode of Supporting nature should be adopted at the least aspetice. The Thanes outward-bound East Indianian, on shore in the day of Eastbourne, it is stated, will not be fit fur sea again, her back being broken. Her valuable cargo, shipped for China, has been saved. She was a remarkably fine ship, mounted f2O guns, and heathen 1,400 tons. About two years ago site Was launched from Barnett's yard, at Deptford, and when completely fitted, the cost was estimated at 52,0001. The captain is said to have on board her, property amounting to 30,0001. I'he Eastbourne fishermen are entitled to the greatest praise, fur the active and humane exertions in rescuing the ship wrecked crew from their perilous situations, at tic risk of their own lives. Mr. Smith, the midshipman of the Blockade Station, whose sad catastrophe is universally deplored, was the son of Mr. F. Smith, of Vincent's Farm, near Margate. A hen is at present in the possossion of Mr. Ilob bins, at Shottery, near Stratford-on-Avon, which has hatched nofewer than nine broods of' chickens within the last twelve monilis. This extraordinary fowl at tended each brood till it had laid two or three cgs towards the next; and what is equally singular, the pullets from the three fi rst broods have all been lay ing some time. The fourth brood are at present fine chickens, fit for market ; and the last (nine in num ber, being the smallest brood of the whole) are now under the cure of their prolific parent. • Ex ecurtoic.-0 ,1 Tuesday nun ning, Tye and Rivers, the one for belittle, and the other fur utteritir notes, were e xecuted at the accustomed place in the 0 d /ia:lev. The c.is.s of bbth were of a very aggrat :tied na ture... Rivers, Motto only 18, had been a freqiient utterer II of forced notes, and Tye , it is feared, had not only brought himself, but many others, to the scaffold. It 1 nay be in the recollection of our readers, that one man who suffered some time since for passing forged notes. stated that he bought them of a man who had lost one of Ins fingers. It is not a little singular, that 'rye wanted the third finger of one hand ; and he is confidently said to be the man front whom South, recently executed, ob united his notes. They were attended, as usual, by the Ordinary and Mr. Baker, and Mr. Sheriff Venables, the only sheriff who witnessed the execution, accompanied by his chaplain, the Rev. Mr. lltilott. After the mime (hate arrangements for execution had been made, such as knocking off the irons, and binding the hands and arms, a few moments remained before eight o'clock, which were filled up by the Ordinary in reading same impressive prayers; extreme apathy and indifference as in these two men.— Tne spectators of this sN fttl sight were not by any means so numerous as on framer occasions. A police•offieer iu the neighbourhood of Frome, Sir mersetshire, having a poacher to take to Sbeptoti.bride . welt, placed such confidence in integrity of the des litiquent as to enclose his mitt:nags in a leuer to the puler, and gave it to him with instructions for its dell r) 1 The fellow seat. iaty wen: within a mile or two of whey, me, nog with a smut lad going the same road, he complained of th , .. late hour beft.re he stunt d return home, and prevailed ou the youth, for a pant of neer, to promise to deliver the letter for him to the keeper of the prison in person. The lad fulfilled Iris engagem:nt, and was very kindly welcomed to nis stew residence; anti all his roaring" and assurances that he was not the le rsun to le• confided could ' tttot induce his eve friend to part with him ; he MS accordingly con duz..d to his cage; but from the continued bellowing of toe captive daring the ingist, and his apprehension of i. having the cue of a maniac, on the following morn h.g the keeper it ok the lad before a magistrate, where lie swore to the facts of his sit.gitlar case, and being r• cognized by some persons of the town, he was libe. or:ed.

A PRINCE, the Original Proprietor, has so A proved the RUSSIA OIL, that it will be pleasant, and will keep in all climates. Through the discovery tit an extra valuable ingredient, and which hus been proved, will be sure to assist in preserving. and promoting the hair, will make it grow and long, present it falling oil or ever turning grey, and will be sure to assist in restoring it to bald places, if the least signs of roots are remaining. And as the Proprietor is now resolved not to prepare his Russia Oil without that valuable in gredient, althougii very expewire ; therefore the Proprietor cannot possiiilv sal the ounce bottle for less than Ss. and the large bottle, which contains five ounces, for one sovereign, which Is a saving. And as some think the Russia Oil dear, the moue is easily ascertained ; tor instance,an ounce bottle of Oil of Roses is only about 3e.; and an ounce bottle ot the best and genuine Otto of Roses is five guineas. The restson is. because the one is fat wore preferable to the other. So it is with PRIMA'S Russia Oil, which is for preferable to any other article for the Hair. Even Medical Gentlemen have published in the Gazette of Health, that Prince's Russia Oil is superior to any Oil tt r the hair ; will restore it on bald places, and strengthen weak hair eosner than tiny other preparation. Also Mr. Marshall, the first Court Hair dresser, of Wigniore Street; Mr. Damon, Hair Dresser, &ie. to the Royal Family. 'Weymouth ; Mr. Adams, Boar Lane, Leeds; and hundreds of other principal flaw Ores. sees, have declared that they recommend Prince's Russia Oil before any other, as from experience they have sound it to be the best for i reserving and promoting the Hair, clearing the scurf, and keeping the head and hair clean; although there are other Articles tin the Hair daily pured its the Newspapers. But there arc thousand. of Ladies and Gentlemen have a good head or Flair by using PRINCE'S celebrated RUSSIA OIL. But wine Ladies being persuaded to use other Oils, theypioon found the difference, as their Hair began to fall off, or get grey. Ladies will find Prince's Russia Oil preferable to any other Oil for dressing their own, or false hair, as it gives a natural glom, softens, and curls it. Gentlemen wearing powder ought to use it intact of pontaturn ; it promotes eybrows, whiskers, Ike. Sold Wholesale, Retail, and for Exportation, by the sole Pro prietor, A. PRIYCE, removedto No. 9, Psis rid-street, Oxtord street, near the Pantheon; and by Mr. Smyth, Perfumer to his Nlalesty, New Bond-street ; and by most principal Perfumers and Medicine Venders. Proved by affidavit, the 24th of November 1814, before the Lord Mayor, that A. Prince is the Original Proprietor in the Universe of the Russia Oil ; theretore if any Perfumer, Medicine Vender, Hair Dresser, or any one else, sells Russia Oil, that is not Prince's, they are impostors, as they sell counterfeits to their customers. Ask for Prince's Russia Oil, and observe Prince" on the wrapper end seals ot each bottle: without, it is not genuine, and cannot answer the purpose. Ladies and Gentletutea will be particular, as there are unprin cipled persons in town and counuy who sell eounteifeits, and say they are genuine There has been of lute Counterfeit Russia Oil sold in almost every street ; and Imp os.ots have matte the covers of the Conn • teach Russia Oil so much like the Genuine, and even itnitated the original Proprietor's name; therefore purchasers should be can den% and Imve it of the -Proprietor, or of a respectable Perfunier orMedic:ne Vender. As several ladies and Gentlemen in the country have complained that they have been taken in by unprin cipled persona selling theta counterfeit, therefore. by enclosing the money in a letter for the Russia Oil, dec. directed to Mr. Prince.

DAY AND I‘IARTIN, 97, High liorcozn. Fe;. 1822. I. _ -..•••• - Lonoon itaartuts CORN EXCHANGE, MOWDAY, FEB. ii. Our market was pretty largely supplied with Wheat from Essex, Kent, Suffolk, and Scotland, tilts morning, for the finest and middling qualities of which the demand was brisk, at last Monday's prices, but the inferior description ietnain on hand, although offered at a considerable reduction. In Barley, Oats, Beans, Peas, and almost every other article of grain, the demand was pretty brisk, and the finest samples, generally, obtained last week's prices, but the inferior descnptioaa ware cheaper. Flour remains without any alteration. It does not appear very likely that the present prices of Wheat and Flour will vary materially until the approach of the next harvest, as it will be some time before the great stock of inferior Wheat now on hand will be of such a quality as to meet with any demand, as the chief objection to the %Sliest of the last harvest seems to be dampness, wind' it will take some time to remove. The amounts from the midland counties, relative to the young crops, are more favourable than could be possibly anticipated, and the late floods have not been productive of that evil which was so much feared t this may be attributed to the subsequent mild weather which has been es experienced throughout the country. CORN EXCHANGE, WEDNEsnaY, Faa. 13. There was a tolerable supply of Wheat in the market this day, and sonic few of the fine samples of which had a quick bale, at lontlay's prices; the middling qualities were but little in demand, and but few bargains made, at about ts. per qr. lower, but for the inferior there were no offers. The Oat trade was very dull—some of the samples were good, but few sales effected. In Barley there is scarcely any a l te ration—this article, from all appearances, seems to be loo king down. In Beans and Peas there is no alteration and but little business doing.--The mar ket is uncommonly iL', and no prospect of its being more lively is seen at present. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, FEB. t 5. The market this day was hut moderately supplied with prune Wheat, but the middling and inferior qualities were offered in considerable abundance. The superior samples went off at Mon day's prices, but for the others we must quote a reduction of about 2s. per qr. In Barley but little business was done—a few of the finer kiiids found buyers, but this article, generally sptak ing, was hea.y. The Oat trade was uncommonly dull, the samples by no means tine, and the buyers but very t.:A • In Beans and Pt.iis we cannot quote any alteration.
