[ADVERTISEMENTJ—Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalonta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21,1866. - The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandonin -, all other reme dies, he has confined himsel: entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We extract a few out ofmore than 68.000 cures:—Care No. 58,216, of the Marchioness de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation, all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness. and the most in tolerable nervous agitation.

The fetes at Suez have not produced any settlement of the disputes which have raged for so long. Count B eng t took advantage of his Stay in Constantinople to impress on the Sultan that the present confused state of things suited the dignity of neither side. He proposed that the Sultan should state in a precise form what was the nature of his grievances against the Khedive, so that the, great Powers might seek to remedy the evils that 'existcd. It appears, however, that it is the intervention of the great Powers which the Sultan wishes to avoid, and that he chooses to treat with his vassal on his own terms. Tho Turquie criticises the last letter of the Khedive, and•com plains that it was sent by a consul and not by t pasha. The Tetrquie adds that the time for conciliation is past, and asks if Ismail Pasha wishes to render Egypt another Tunis. It is said that the Khedive consents to the proposal that his diplomatic agents shall be presented to the different Courts by the ambassadors of the Ottoman Empire; but he objects in the most positive manner to the Egyptian Budget being sent to tho Porte for inspection, because such a course would virtually negative the privileges of Egypt. THE ETLE.A MEETING OF DISROPS. The Bishop of Itatisbon has received a rescript from the King of Bavaria in reply to the pastoral issued by the Fulda meeting of Bishops. The King expresses his appro bation of the spirit in which the pastoral is conceived. H e is convinced that no general council can or will proclahn a doctrine nowhere to be found in Holy SmiPturo, nor venture to sanction dogmas diametrically opposed to the principles of justice, and the legitimate freedom and well being of the people. He adds that it is the earnest desire of the Government to live in peace with the Church; but, at the same time, it is incumbent on the State to prohibit Bavarian Bishops from giving their formal assent to resolutions incompatible with the fundamental principles of the constitution. Some of tilt- Munich journals declare that several Bishops intend t, the Council by way of protest, if in spite of their etioLt bo the contrary the majority of that assembly should affirm the articles of the Encyclical, the Syllabus, and the doctrine of Papal infallibility. ~~ :~ T 5 PRUSSTAN CIUMBEAS. A few days since a .motion was introthiCed sian Upper Chamber by Count von Lippe, the former Minister of Justice, to the - effect that the institution of a Federal Court of Commerce at Leipsic, 'without tha assent of the Prussian Chambers, exceeded the legislative power of the Northern Confederation. The Chamber rejected this motion by a small majority, the rejection being due chiefly to the effect produced by a private letter from Count Bismarck, in which the Count blamed the motion in the severest terms. A debate of a somewhat similar kind has now taken place among the deputies, several members of the national party asserting the right of the Confederation to legislate in civil matters; and this motion was carried on the 24th by a majority of twelve. Some of the speakers were strongly in favour of the complete unity of Germany. In other words, the National party in the Prussian Chambers is ready to absorb whatever inde pendence or autonomy remains to the smaller States. The question of disarmament has again come forward at Berlin. Herr Vichow's motion having been lost, the Pro gressists who supported it have held a public meeting to vote a petition to the Government on the subject. A grand assembly was therefore held on Monday, at which resolutions were adopted advocating the reduction of the military expenses. TKO ACCIDENT ON TEE RHI-NTE. The North German Correspondent furnishes some details of the melancholy accident which occurred at the railway bridge now in oourse of construction over the Rhine, between Hamm and Neuss. On the 20th a vessel laden with a large quantity of iron ore approached the bridge. The steamer Dolphin, which was employed to tow vessels past the place where the works are constructing, being engaged for the moment, the skipper was requested to cast anchor. Ho paid no attention, but continued his course, and the result was that the vessel struck against one of the supports of the bridge and literally crushed it. The craft was destroyed, and those on board perished. About forty men were working on the part of the bridge which fell; fifteen escaped, and the rest fell into the river. In all, nineteen lives seem to have been lost, and fourteen men severely wounded, three of whom are not expected to recover. The loss is great in a pecuniary point of view. Five vessels belonging to the railway contractor were lying near the bridge, and were all sunk. A SUIT FOR THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS. The site of the wealthy city of Louisville, "U.S., is now forming the object of a law suit. The heirs of John Caml,hell who, in 1783, possessed 000 acres of land, claim to be the rightful owners of the ground on chic h the commercial centre of the city stands. Tho first clu.rt3r of the city was given in 1828, sinco which time it has passed through many hands. The land and improvements aro valued at 530,000,000. THE BALLOT IN AMERICA. ,111U4 10() the Le7;ez h' rionce in America. lie fn exPe the conduct of the State elections. Ile expresse3 himself in the highest terms as to the manner in which everything is conducted on these occasions. He went through a largo part of the city during election day, but he has often seen more disorder in a small town in England or Ireland fer ten minutes than he could observe the entire day is NJw York. He attributes the good order that prevailed to the system of having so many polling places, of taking the vote by Ballot, and not announcing the state of the poll until all is over. Ho considers the Ballot to be the most complete style of voting, and after his recent experience he unhesitatingly tells his fellow-countrymen that they should never cease to agitate till they have it. With secret voting the English system of election would be the most perfect, for owing to the excellence of our registration there could be no " repeating" or fraudulent voting. He is sure that it would not make any difference in the balance of political parties in Eng land, for it must.be borne in mind that there is the tyranny of the mob as well as that of the employer and the land lord to be guarded against.
