HEALTH RESTORED WITHOUT MEDICINE OR EXPENSE. DU BARRY'S deli cious health-restoring Invalids' and Infants' Food. THE REVALENT A ARABICA saves flay times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect digestion strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhcea, all gastric de rangements, haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, tervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the bead and ears, , heumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, non ralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea, and sickness even in pregnancy or et sea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPORTANT CAUTlON._—Beware of the many unsavoury anu more than slopy imitations to which, without autho rity, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached. Henceforth none 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 Holi ness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful inedical treatment. Wo quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. tB,4l3):—"Rome, July 21st, 1866. —The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially s ince, abandoning all they remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du arry s Revalenta Arabica Food of which he consumes a lateful at every meal.

The Treasurer, in conclusion, rays : It is certainly in no spirit of vain boasting the fact is stated, that in the eight years and more that the Treasury of the United States has been in my charge, during which time money transactions were had that foot on the books of the office at a sum exceeding $ 1 4,000,000,000 (an amount of money so great that the ordinary human mind can scarce comprehend it), and not ' withstanding the fact that vast amounts of money have been and are every day handled by hundreds of persons in this office, yet not one c nt has, up to this time, been lost to the people of the United States on account of the management of the Trea sury, or on account of the employs in this office. if this is mere luck, then certainly I have been the luckiest of men. Losses, it is true, have occurred, but than far they have been so small that they have always been made good to the Treasury by the persons responsible for them, or by voluntary contributions of the associates of the unfortuitate ones. Although I feel I have the right to say that I have always done my whole duty to the utmost brink of my capacity for endu rance ; that I have Worked unceasingly in season and out of season in the public service • and that I have never done an official act that lam not willing the whole world should know, yet it it is certain that without the aid of an overruling Providence that has directed the choice of honest and compe tent persons to aid in the arduous duties that de volved upon me, or without the kindness of all shown me by your predecessors and yourself, such a result would ,not have been possible. Ife 1 that such good fortune cannot last always. The bark of the most fortunate and skilful mariner may at last be wrecked on some hidden rock • the law of chance is now strongly against me. I therefore now, more than ever, feel an anxious desire to retire from the perilous position that I hold, the holding of which I am sure has been of greater benefit to the good people of the United States than to your humble servant."

The election fell, by a choice almost unanimous, on those Bishops who have been the foremost champions of the dogma of the Papal Infallibility, at the head of whicklist figure the names of Mgrs. Manning, Deschamps (Malin), and Pi 6 ! " I need scarcely say that such a votes is tantamount to a verdict, and was meant so such. All doubt as to the future course of the Council on this head is therefore at an end. The dogma will be defined as certainly as its definition is proposed, and it is now a mere question of time. Cardinal Matthieu is one of the principal dissentients, and lie left Rome on the pretext of an ordination Ps soon as the result was known. Only ten bishops have protested, and it is thought in Rome that some of these will withdraw their siz - natures before the matter comes formally before the Commission." As far as outsiders can learn, the English, American, Colonial, and Irish bishops have been unanimous for the definition. The Pope continues wonderfully well, and nothing has been heard in Rome of the report circu lated in the English l avers of a prorogation of the Council till after his death. Many think that the Fathers will be restored to their dioceses soon after Easter. RUSSIA AND PRUSSIA. The Berlin Correspondence has published a long art!cle on the exchange of military decorations between the Em peror of Russia and the King of Prussia, and is indignant at the political signification which has been giver, to the circumstance. The whole affair is to be re garded ,in a purely military sense, and has no political bearings. The Constitutionnel denies on the part of the French journals that they sought to spread the false reports that were circulated, and states that the German and Prussian papers were the first to excite attention on the subject. It is equally absurd to say that the Emperor Alexander conferred the honours on the King of Prussia for the purpose of silencing the dema gogue papers of 111"kseow and St. Petersburg. TITRK EY- AXD EQTPT. The Levant Herald rejoices greatly over the firmness of the Porte and the submission of the Viceroy, and de clares that," morally, the victory thus gained is far greater than in the case of Crete and Greece." There can be no doubt however, that Sir H. Elliott pit on the diplomatic high pressure to which the Khedive succumbed. It was evident at the last moment that Napoleon would not help him with a man or a ship. Still less would England or Austria interfere to save him ; while Russia and Prussia stood altogether aloof from the quarrel. But it may be doubted whether the Viceroy, if left to his own ambitious impulses, would not have risked everything, and refused obedience to the firman, had not Sir Henry Elliot been in Cairo when it arrived. The Levant Herald repeats its conviction that in thus appearing to accept the Porte's terms, the Viceroy is but patching up the very hollowest truce. It believes the concession to be only a case of reculer pour mieux sauter and advises that the breechloaders and ironclads should at once be ordered up, and a strict watch kept over the fiscal administration, which would prevent the attempt to buy from the fellahs the amounts now raised by foreign loans. PORTUGAL. The Daily News contradicts the report that the Por tuguese army intended to make a political demonstration. "We have been assured, on very good authority, that no such idea was ever entertained, nor have any symptoms of the kind appeared ; and that the Portuguese army has manifested a proper subordination to authority and respect to tho law." A FRENCH WORK. The arrespondance Liberale relates a curious story of a new work which has lately appeared in Paris called " The Jesuits and the Inquisition." A parish of the Cotj,d' Or had ordered some copies of the book, and the priest was so indignant that he denounced it from the pulpit, and threatened those who read it wills excommunication. The Commissary of Police went round to those who had copies of the work, and succeeded in carrying off eleven of the fifteen which were in the place. The Parisian publisher immaiately demanded the restoration of the books, and the Commissary gave them up in consequence of his protest. Shortly after the publisher received a letter from the Commissary of Police in his own neighbour hood, enjoining him to call at his bureau, and advising him to bring a list of the inhabitants of the parish who had subscribed to the publication of the work in question. The publisher has taken no notice of this appeal, and will not conform to the Commissary's request. HUNGARY. The Upper House of the Hungarian Diet has incurred great odilm by its opposition to a bill for aboli,hing• t!lo puniihment of flogging in Hungary. The House cf Rerresentatives passed it unanimously, but it was objected to in the Higher Assembly, cn the ground that it; was an inexpedient measure, and that the prisons would be overcrowded if flogging was abolished. The Minister of Justice declared that the new Constitution gareequal rights to all classes of the popula tion, and that the I uuishment cf flogging could not be retained, unless the nobles were made liable to it. So much indignation was caused by this speech that the consideration of the bill was indefinitely postponed. TIIE INSURRECTION IN DALMATIA. The Eastern Budget publishes statements from its cor respondents in Constantinople and in Herzegovina, which are not altogether satisfactory.• The Turkish military dignitaries all speak of a conflict with Montenegro as inevitable, and regard that State as tho prime mover in the Dalmatian affair. A letter from Scutari, in Altania, seems to confirm this account, since the new governor of that province is to be Dervish Pasha, well known for his campaign against Montenegro in 1862. The present governor of Albania, Essad Pasha, who has been appointed President of the military council, is convinced that the Dalmatian insur rection would have been crushed long ago if it had not been supported from abroad, and this assistance he believes to have been given by Montenegro. The Governor of Podgoritza sa, s that he heard the women in the Monte negrinvillage of Pipori wailing, according t o th e fashion of their country, for relations who had perished in the insurrection. The Governor-General of Bosnia has arrived at l‘lostAr, in Herzegovina, to inspect tho troops oa the frontier, in order to prevent tho Dalmatian outbreak from spreading to Turkish territory. The frontier forts have been put in repair, and provided with ammunition. The Mahornedan Bosnians are hostile to thein.snrgents, but the Christians are openly favourable. STRIKE lIY CUILDREN. A curious story is told by the Echo du Nord of the children employed in the cotton and cloth mills at `Verviers, in Belgium. It seems these poor little things were compelled to work from five in the morn ing until ten at night! A strike was resolved upon, the conditions being that the children should begin at six and leave off at seven—hours which are still excessive. The strike was accompanied by the usual pro cessions and speeches, and was fortunately successful, the masters giving in after four days' opposition, and the chil dren, 500 to 600 in number, resumed work. THE SOUTH. Mr. Horace Greeley has sent a message to General Butler on the disfranchisement of theleading Southerners. Ile is against the policy cf proscription fur participation in the rebellion, and says that all experienced persons are against it. In support of his argument, he declares that Southern men of education are by far more reasonable then their poorer neighbours, less implacable, and more ready to unite heartily in rebuilding the waste places of the land He makes the appeal to General Butler as his _lame is so much associated with the policy of disfranchisement. The letter is published in the Tribune. THE AMERICAN CENSUS. Congress is preparing for the census which is to be taken in 1870. The representation in America depends upon the population, and many changes will be made after the next estimate has been taken. The United States will most probably be shown to contain about 40 millions. Tho West and South-west States are expected to have the majority in the representation, having increased so largely of late. This change may be for the better, in lessening the power of the Protectionists and improving the legisla '4,m on the tariff and tax laws. According to the estimate already made, it is calculated that there has been an increase of 8 millions in the population in ten years, and an increasa of 91 per cent. in property valuation.
