The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invalable .HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and. upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevin, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors.

Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical; hence, that when the latter, fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patie n t b r o u ght t o a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

Those, however, were matters which required further consideration. No doubt they would be able to organise a formir:Lable force from these rifle corps, but at present thr.lre was no enemy in sight, nor was there any very great probability of on: seeing one, and he doubted whether any large response would be made urLtil a more urgentnecessity arose. Above all, he hoped • that when these corps were formed they would be commanded by gentlemen of high standing, which was a mos t essent i a l po i nt. (Hear, hear.) fe had no doubt whatever that if ever an attempt was made against the shores of this country the people would rise as one man and repel it. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " the health of Lord Elmley and Mr. Foley," the members for the western and eastern divisions of th 3 county. Viscount ELMLEY, in responding to the toast, said that, whatever might be the political opinions of those present, there could be no doubt that at this moment public attention generally was direette, to the state of affairs on the continent. (tear, hear.) Whether Lord J. Russell or Lord Palmer ston might succeed, in turning out the Gcriernment was a matter of secondary importance to the foreign policy of the country.

(Cheers.) No doubt there were some who sympa thised.with France, while others had a leaning to wards Austria. He had been asked whether he was French or Austrian. His reply was that he was neither the one nor the other—he was English. (Cheers.) He had no sympathy with either France or Austria. Austria was a country under tt te spiritual dominion of the Pope, with whoir .i could have no sympathy. (Cheers.) With he to France, it might be very well to talk 01 1 Italian liberty and of the disinterestedness of respect t .. l iie French Emperor.

With respect to volunteer corps, nothing would give him greater pleitsure than to see the spirit of the coun try evinced by the formation of such bodies. It was said that England was not a militarnation, P_.:nd did not u n d ers t an d m i l i tary orga nisation; and the Times remarked in a leading article the other day that there is not any occasion for much military apprenticeship. The writer of that article might be a great military authority ; but he (Lord Elmsley) was one of those idiots who could not see how large bodies of men could be brought to act together without a considerable knowledge of drill and dis cipline. It might be very *ell to have a large body of sharpshooters, but they ought to possess a knowledge of drill and discipline. When persons went into the army young they naturally acquired habits of discipline ; but if they entered later in life they found discipline a little galling. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He did not say this f or th e purpose of decrying volunteer corps, but when their forma• tion was adv o P:a.ted all the difficulties attending them shoul'a be considered, and he would not recomro:lnd any man to join them unless he under stow!, that discipline meant that he must knock 'ander to superior authority. (Hear, hear.) With all due respect to English feeling he must be per mitted to say that this discipline might not 3 oe well understood among the Radicals. He did 'not make this remark invidiously, but could not help repeat ing that persons who were not brought up in habits of discipline might find its enforcement rather galling. He trusted, however, that the project for the establishment of volunteer corps would meet with that success with it deserwd. (Cheers.) Mr. FOLEY, M.P., also rer,ponded to the toast, and after several other toar,ts had been given and duly honoured the proceedings terminated. \ THE WAR IN ITALY. (front the Special Correspondent of the Daily News.) GENERAL DURANDO'S HEADQUARTERS, STROP PIANA, NEAR VERCELLI, MAY 25. I started the day before yesterday by the 5.30 p.m. train, and arrived at Vercelli by half-past eight the same evening. The town was full of merriment, as our brave Savoia Cavalleria had just repulsed a reconnaissance the enemy had made on BOrgo Vercelli. f saw, myself, an officer of the . Austrian regiment Grueber, who had been taken prisoner, brought before Gen. Cialdini, and treated in the kindest and most courteous manner by Count Mosti, a nobleman from Ferrara, and one of the aides-de-camp of this gallant general officer. With out troubling myself to arrange my rather disor dered toilette, I hastened to the official residence of the advocate Tecchio, to whom I had the honour of being announced without ceremonies or difficulty of any kind. In England the very qualification of Extraordinary Commissioner would imply the idea of a stiff and solemn person, almost inaccessible without a formal demand of an audience, and a great deal of waiting in antechambers. Things are altogether differently managed in this country. Signor Tecchio received me very politely, and listened with kind attention to the object of my journey. I told him it was my desire to inspect the line of the Sesia as far as Casale, and collect facts and documents regarding the Austrian occupation of the province. The extraordinary commissioner wrote at once an order in accordance with the ob ject of my application. With this order he enjoined the military, civil, and administrative authorities of the province to protect and facilitate my rather difficult errand, and to furnish me with all infor mation I might require. With this document in my hand I went next morning to the town-hall, where Signor Luigi Verga, mayor of Vercelli! gave the necessary orders to enable me to start at once for Prarolo, a small village two miles from the Sesia. His kindness did not stop there, but as my carriage was waiting on the Piazza he sent for the advocate Marchetti, who was in structed to accompany me on my journey. With my intelligent guide, one of the town-hall de puties, I started at once, as the noise of a rolling fire of musketry, and a heavier one of artillery, was borne to us upon the wind. On our reaching Prarolo, which was formerly a castle belonging to the Abbot of Santo Stefano, now the property of the Hospital of Vercelli, we were told by the offi cers of the 14th Piedmontese regiment of the line that on the preceding evening the Austrians had retired from Pallestro and Robbio, and that they were concentrating themselves at Castel d'Agogna, two miles from Mortara, beyond the river of that name, I went round the village, and my eyes met everywhere the traces of devastation and plunder. Cattle not only carried away on regular requisition; but actually stolen. Fields of corn trampled by horses, plants cut to the ground, farm walls pulled down, churches plundered, wine cellars inundated : the scene was really heartrending. At Prarolo a cow or an ox is become as rare an animal as a chimpanzee is in our Zoological Gar dens. In the eourse of twenty-four hours one party of depredators alone got hold of 24 oxen, and carried them away without leaving an , regular receipt. What all this means in English language people at home will judge. These facts were not only stated to me by Francesco Ferraris, the vice sindaco (deputy mayor) of th e village, ' but I took the trouble of ascertaining th em all by going ng round the different farms which had been plundered. From Prarolo we directed our carriage towards Pezzana, altogether a l arger and richer village. There the same depredations, the same marks_ of . this shameful north ern invasion were mani f es t. The Austrians had occupied the village on the night of Tuesday, May 3. They went to the house of Giovanni Fi ore, secretary o f the sindaco, and with all kinds of ill-treatment obliged him to escort their band to Stroppiana, on the road to Casale. From the very house from which I am now writing they took away with them the Sindaco Opezzo, and compelled him to direct them to Pizzarosto, a small hamlet situated in the vicinity of the Chiusa Sarti rana. Arrived there they ordered both Fiore and Opezzo to find some boys who would cross the Sesia in an easy place. Tee current of the river was so power ful that the poor boys could not stand up, and were at every moment in danger of being carried away by it. They, therefore, remonstrated, but the officer compelled them to try the passage over and over et =elf.

One of the greatest wretches of Francis losepla's army is to be found under the uniform of the chief of the commissariat depart ment. The name of this honourable thief is Motte. He has been, together with the Italian Perego, the scourge of these-poor populations. The post hour presses, and I am anxious that my letter should not be detained. I therefore put an end to this chronicle of Austrian occupation by translating a letter which the Bishop of Vercelli, Monsignor Daugenes. has addressed to the mayor of that town under date May 4. It speaks volumes :- 4‘ Honourable Signor Cavaliere.„,_i pray you to huar what niy servant will tell you.

He goes to Italy as the Persian invader went to Greece, with an exiled Sovereign in his train. The Grand Duke of Tuscany is the Hippias of this modern crusade of despotism, and the Sardinians, who have already speculated upon the possible presence of the Emperor when some decisive operation was supposed to be threatened, may now with more certainty count the chances of some immediate effort. General Hess attends his Sovereign to direct with more immediate action the plan of operations; and Count Grunne, who is now the responsible adviser of Austrian policy, is another of the able heads added to the Council of the Camp. For policy and for action, for strategy, and for diplomacy, the power of Austria in Italy is now complete, and we must look no longer to Vienna for symptoms of the course of the war or the dawn ins of peace. It is not the first time that the EMperor Franics Joseph has visited Lombardy ; and he has not now to learn what is the disposition of his subjects in his Italian Provinces. It is within our recent memory that the Imperial Family have lavished all the blandishments which an Austrian Court can pro• duce upon the un willing nobilityand people of Milan. Francis Joseph himself, and his cousin, and his cou sin's wife, then sought to conciliate the Milanese by state progresses and by strong professions of affection and confidence, but they were met only by a moody silence. The people maintained an attitude of constrained respect, and the nobility stood aloof. The Austrian Emperor then went to conciliate; he now goes to coerce. He then saw the elements of a slumbering disaffection all around him ; he will now find the fires blazing, and 150,000 foreign soldiers ready to spread the con flagration. If we may trust the last accounts be will meet his army retiring upon a position where, with the Ticino in their front, he may either fall back upon the line of the great Austrian fortresses or may fight a battle for the protection of Pavia and Piacenza. He will find an unseen and unnum bered enemy concealed behind the Montferrat hills, and waiting only until their equipments shall be sufficiently complete to enable them to advance. On his right flank, threatening his rear, disturbing his communications, and perhaps able to destroy those railway lines which are essential to the sup port of an army encamped in a wasted country, is the energetic Garibaldi. With small resources, without cannon or commissariat, with a mere guerilla party, this desperate, but not unskilful leader, is ever doing some dashing deed among the Alpine slopes upon the Austrian right. Wherever he has yet come he has raised the country in his favour. He has in two days gained three victories, or at any rate three advantages over the troops opposed to him ; he has been joyfully received at Como, and while capturing the city has cleared the lake of its Austrian war craft by means of the insurgent allies whom his presence had called into existence. With unresting energy he passed through Como, and, pursuing his enemy on the road to Milan, was, when the last accounts left, within 20 miles of that splendid city, where every inhabitant is a stanch hater of the German, and where there are no forti fications behind which a small body of soldiery can hold their own. The presence of General Niel seems to argue that the French Emperor has formed some serious expectations from Garibaldi's opera tions, and that his movements are looked upon as an important part of the plan of the campaign —that there is some real hope of raising the population o f .o'U r b an the -, Lombardy, and organising an insurre c ti on rear of the Austrian position. General light-footed ".‘s lost some of th e we are told, is in pursuit of th enemy ; but, unless Garibaldi h skill and activity he disple:fed in 1849, w h en h e evaded and outmarche'l two Austrian armies who were in pursuit of him, he is not likely to be found even by the flying corps of General D'Urban, unless he should conceive himself able to give a good ac count of this special antagonist who has been sent out against him. Whether the insurrection will spread, and the revolution in Parma will hold, or whether the French are justified in exciting the Italian populace.while the great Austrian army is still between them and the French and Sardinian forces, must be determined by circumstances of which we have at present no information ; but these operations upon the right flank and rear are at least.a new fact which gives a fresh aspect to the position of the hostile armies. The Emperor of Austria will not' reasonably be astonished to find sullen resistance changed into open rebellion, or to hear that the sympathies of his Italian subjects are with his enemies; but the aspect of Tuscany will be a novel disquietude. Prince Napoleon there hoists a standard of revolt for all the Italian Penin sula, and that sea, over which so large an instal ment of French soldiers has passed, is still open to as continual a stream as France can supply. Tus cany has revolted, and has offered herself to Sar dinia. France has already pushed aside, or rather has forced Sardinia to resign the offer, and has herself taken possession. This is an earnest of what will happen hereafter. If Louis Napoleon is really prepared with sufficient force to maintain his evident policy we may expect to see his little army at Leghorn constantly reinforced until it be comes large enough to move from Tuscany to ope rate in conjunction with the army now in Piedmont, and perhaps to turn that line of fortresses which. Austria has hitherto looked upon as her im pregnable retreat ; and her secure refuge after any disaster. This is the position which the young Emperor of Austria and his military councillors will have to consider. We do not say that it is specially disadvantageous or critical, but it certainly is in tricate, and is by no means of that plain end easy kind that the course to be pursued is obvious, and the plan may be foretold because indicated by the position of the parties. Among the few facts, h ow ever, that can' be gleaned among th e contra dictory statements that come from the seat of war one stands forth unchallenged ;it is this—that hitherto the Italians have carried off all the honours of the actual conflicts. At Montebello it was the Piedmontese cavalry who met the first shock of the Austrian assault, and, closing up their thinned ranks, charged three times upon the Austrian masses thereb as some of our later accounts assert,,n. , y, saving the French division from utter Again, it is Garibaldi' i who, with his Italian Irre gulars, has o bt a i ne d th e only patent advantage that destructio has y e t b een gained'? While the French have been preparing f or t h e p l ay, keeping their green curtain always down, Garibaldi has actually come out without waiting for the stage properties. He has returned invasion for invasion, and dashed into the enemy's country, holding his position in arms close to the capital of Lombard and hi the rear of the Austrian lines. Wfy, this gallantry of were fighting Italians fighting in Italy, though we cannot help wishing h than y n of masters.— for We can s l re , e s l a a n n d d z .n e o a t lo m u e s r ly el a y d f m or ir a e 0 Time t els a es t , men who fight so well BIR JOHN PAKINGTON ON 771 E POLICY OF NON-INTERVENTION. . . The anniversary of the Worcestershire Society was celebrated on Saturday last at the Albion Hotel, Aldersgate-street, on which occasion some important political speeches were delivered by Sir John Pakington, Lord Lyttelton, and Viscount Elmley, M.P. Mr. J. C. Dent presided, and was supported by the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, M.P., First Lord of the Admiralty ; Lord Lyttel ton, Earl Beauchamp, Viscount Elmley, M.P., Mr. J. H. Foley, M.P., the Hon. and Rev. T. Coventry, Messrs. R. P. Amphlett, R. L. Jones, J. Capel, J. D., Allcroft, &c. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, The CHAIRMAN gave " The Army and the Navy." He said, they were extremely fortunate in having among their guests a noble lord (Earl Beauchamp), who worthily represented the army, and the right hon. Sir I. Pakington, upon whom perhaps more than any other man depended the efficiency of the other branch of the service. In the. present state of the Continent he was sure he only spoke the sentiments of the country generally when he said that the army and the navy of England should be maintained in the most effective condition, ready for any emergency which might arise. (Cheers,) It was all very well to talk of neutrality, but in his opinion we ought to be able to go in at any time we liked and thrash either side. (Laughter and cheers.) Earl BEAUCHAMP responded on behalf of the army. As neutrality was the order of the day, he hoped we should be enabled to adhere to the policy of non-intervention, but while maintaining neutra lity we ought to be armed and ready for war. (Cheers.) In Italy at the present time there could not be less than half a million of men, within a small compass, engaged in war, and it was scarcely pos. sible to imagine the amount of wasted devasta tion that must be occasioned by the- conflict. Not withstanding his great desire for the neutrality of England he hoped that if any insult were offered to our honour or our trade we should be prepared to enter into the contest with cordiality and unani mity. (Cheers.) Sir J. PAKINGTON, in returning thanks for the navy, observed that he was much gratified in wit nessing the enthusiastic manner in which the British public always received the toast of the navy, which was regarded as our pride, our boast, and our best defence. (Cheers,) The moment he ventured, in the performance of what he esteemed his political duty, to take charge of the British navy, his principle of action had been to devote all his best energies to the restoration and mainte nance of the naval power and naval supremacy of this country. (Cheers.) He entirely concurred in the opinion which had been expressed by the chair man, that we ought to be able to go in and thrash any number of our opponents, whoever they night be. (Hear, and laughter.) Ho did not think that any one occupying the high and honourable posi tion in her Majesty's councils of First Lord of the Adlniralty would do his duty who should for a mo ment tolerate the idea that any single Power or combination of Powers would be able to dispute ti.le supremacy of England on the sea. (Great chef: L .4 lg. With regard to the present aspect of affairs, it) might and probably would be very difficult, if the war which had unhappily broken out in Europe should be long protracted, for England to preserve her neutrality. He could, however, assure them that the policy of her Majesty's present Govern ment was really and truly neutrality. (Cheers.) Nor did he know of the slighest reason at the pre sent moment why that neutrality should not be preserved. (Cheers.) He was sure that it was the interest of England to remain at peace, and he most earnestly hoped that her Majesty's Government would be able so to conduct the business of the nation as to allow England to continue in that peaceful condition in which all true lovers of their country desired it to remain. (Hear.) They had nothing whatever to do with the cilw.:Tels of the Continental Powers. (Hear, hear.,) It was a most unhappy quarrel, and had led. to a state of cireure,_ stances which was already most disastrous to con template. It was shocking to reflect upon the con dition of affairs in the North of Italy,a.';liere at that very moment hundreds of thousand!, of armed men were gathered together for the purpose of imbruing their hands in blood, for the destruction of human life, and who would spread desolation, wretched ness, and barrenness over some of the most fertile plains in the whole world. (Hear.) He believed it would puzzle any man's brain at this moment to say why all this misery was occasioned. (Hear.) It was, however, the duty of her Majesty's Go vernment to take every possible precaution which human wi s d om cou l d devise in order to pre vent Englandpart oof this c o frompbecoming would, ouadd, he thisw was entangled s mostfi firmly u n i n y t n econ vinced,h is nicilosessstp unhappyand, heit ry would ry war.

In those great struggles it was true that the principal honour and glory fell to the army, but at the present moment he thought the nation at large looked rather to the navy than to the army, and probably the best mode in which they could prepare themselves for coming events—the best waS' in which the Government could show that they were ready for whatever might happen, was to take care that the fleets of England were strong and ready to cope with any force which might be brought against them. (Hear, hear.) That, he assured the meeting, was the policy of her Majesty's present Government. The pre paration of our fleets was a duty with which he had been entrusted, and day by day, hour by hour, he was exerting himself to make them worthy of the confidence, and able t o p ro t ec t th e i n t eres t s an d vindicate the honour of the country. (The right hon. baronet resumed his seat amid loud cheers.) "The health ,of Lord Lyttelton," as Lord-Lieute nant of the county of Worcester, was next drunk. Lord LYTTELTON, in responding, alluded to the general establishment of rifle corps throughout the country, and observed that, as Lord-Lieutenant of Worcestershire he had been addressed by the Go vernment on the subject. Some remarks had been made respecting the delay which had taken place in the formation of a rifle corps for Worcestershire, although steps had been taken to carry out the object of the Government in other counties. He wished now to state publicly his intentions with respect to the county of Worcester. When the subject was:first brought under his notice it oc curred to him that It would be possible to amalga mate a volunteer rifle corps with one of the ex i s ti ng voluntary bodies of soldiers in that county. As there was a considerable demand for the supply of officers for the existing volunteers, there might be some difficulty in maintaining a third and inde pendent force., It was, therefore, his intention to call together the Deputy-Lieutenants, for the pur pose of aselrtaining what could be done to carry out the views of the Government as expressed in the circular which had been issued upon the subject. He did not, however, propose to do that immediately, and for this reason :—They were now on the eve of the meeting of Par liament, and those who had observed the course of public opinion and the remarks of the press upon the subject felt some doubts as to whether the Go. vernment proposition to call into existence and maintain the proposed rifle corps in their full ei,fi ciency would be sufficient. As far as he had seen the opinions thus expressed he was not altogether disposed to agree with them; still, as something might be said in Parliament which might induce the Government to modify their propositions, he should defer holding a county meeting until a short time after Parliament had met. He did not agree in the strictures which had appeared in the news papers on the injustice of government requiring members of volunteer rifle corps to pay their own expenses. In his judgment that was a correct course. He did not think that every man in the county should be called upon to join those corps; but in his opinion they ought to be composed of men competent to meet the very moderate expense of providing their own arms and accoutrements. Such:a course of pro ceeding was conformable to precedent, and would be Satisfactory to the rifle corps therelves. There would, however, be expenses connected with those volunteer corps which might be trmed establish- + -1:, . '';:z-lPt, D. 5D again with his pointed revolve..

But let us leave the mournful tale of Austrian depredations —which, by-the-bye, is always the same--and let us direct our steps towards Caresan a, a small borough about half a mile from the left bank of the Sesia, where our advanced posts are plac.sd. It is not far from this place, a little tr., the right, that the day before yesterday an engagement of a rather serious character took place between the men of Foret's division and tie enemy. Two regiments of this division, led lasi Victor Emmanuel in person, made a reconna?:vance en force in front of Palestro. and occupied tlie small island opposite to Terra nova, which we retain still. In this brilliant action CaDt'sin Ferreri, of the general staff, had his right leg 'carried away by an Austrian cannon ball. Another s brave fellow, whom our Crimean warriors will rso doubt remember—Capt. B run et ta, of Nizza ersalleria—was run through by a lance of an Aus trian Uhlan, just when, with a few of his men, he had crossed the Sesia. The same day the Austrians were thoroughly beaten near Torroine by the 10th regiment of our infantry, which, crossing the last mentioned river, went boldly to attack the positions of the enemy. While an officer of the divisional staff was furnishing me with all these interesting particulars the report of musketry broke suddenly in the direction of our avante post. A party of 500 men was soon despatched towards the Sesia, and I was allowed to follow it, together with my I . 6 rce:n time im memor i a l i t has been the custom to companion.
