[A.Dvsn'essmENT..l--11enceforth no one will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta 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, abandoning all other reme dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which ho 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:—Cure No. 58,216, of the Marchioness do 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.

No. 49,832: "Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness, and vomiting.—Maria Joly." Cure No. 46,270: Mr. James Roberts, of Fernley, Surrey, of 30 years' diseased lungs. spitting of blood, liver derangement, and partial deafness.

Pleasant, palatable, and IWO/knot/Pg. Old by (411 chernifito.--144Tt.3 _ _ Perhaps the most beautiful in design, as well as in illustration, of the periodicals lately introduced, is The Animal World, "a monthly advocate of humanity," which appeared for the first time this month. Money is not the object aimed at ; but, money being useful in achieving all ob jects here below, The; Animal World hopes for and anticipates a strong support from the public. It is quite evident to a printer that twopence cannot pay for a magazine twice the size of the Pall-Mall Gazette, without advertisements, and almost wholly composed of -original matter. But we presume the intention is to gain the ear of the people, and to enlist their sympathies, when the philanthropic Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will find their path smoothed to some essential re forms. Our aim is, says the editor, to protect animals from torture, ameliorate their condition, and to awaken in the minds of men a proper sense of the claims of creatures placed under their domi nion. The reas -n the title has been taken has been to make it comprehensive enough to include " both man, and bird, and beast ;" the accuracy may be doubted of the saying that man is the only animal capable of language ; but he has a monopoly of speech, which implies a responsibility as speaker for all other animals, hence the injunction, "Thou shalt open thy mouth for the dumb." Man is the natural defender of the defenceless. As king, having dominion, should lie not protect his subjects ? as a god, should he not compassionate ? The article from which we quote goes on to point out how man benefits by the promotion of humanity to animals, and it is added that the journal will have " no space for maudlin sentiments, for ours is a grand practical work,in which morbid feeling cannot enter without in jury to our cause." The articles in this number, inde pendent of numerous stories in the first page's, are on the-practice of bleeding calves, and on destruction of animals; there is a short history of the Society, and the annual report. The magazine opens with a beautiful illustration of a horse's head, and an article on the horse. The tales are by such writers as Frank Backland, Mary llowitt, and Mrs. S. C. Hall. There are several reviews and numerous well written letters; among them one from Miss Burdett Coutts, first published in the Times; and Mr. Angell, an American gentle man, in this case appears to have been the moving spring of that lady's action. He earnestly pressed upon Miss Coutts the advisability of forming a Ladies' Humane Society, similar to that existing in Massa chusetts. The great object of the paper is to incul cate into children principles of humanity towards animals, and 25,000 copies of The Animal World will, it is anticipated, be laid before the boys and girls of England, Ireland, and Scotland monthly. We expect a much larger sale, for it will be extensively read in America and in the British Colonies. Its association with so well-known an American, whom the Bishop of Gloucester terms " the generous and eloquent president of the American Society," will give it an additional interest in that country, where, perhaps, are to be found the most numerous friends of the brute creation. The literary excellence of the work, the fact that it is among the cheapest of "monthlies," and the interest created in almost every mind, by the subjects it handles, cannot fail to give it an extensive circulation, through which the Society will realise their object, and effectively strike at the roots, instead of, as hitherto, merely lopping off the branches of that baneful tree, so deeply engrafted in our fallen nature.—Anglo-Anze rican Times.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251. 15a. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 l'is.lo4d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in ,Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for hills aft() days sight was 1071 per cent. on the 19th inst. At this rate there would be a lens oil the trannmtheion of gold from the tutted Staten.
