THE DRUG, from which the A MI3OYNA POWDER and LOTION are prepared, possesses peculiar efficacy in cleansing, beautifying, and preserving the Teeth from decay. There is no Tooth Powder in the present day which maintains so extensive a demand as the Amboyna, it was originally prepared by an eminent Den tist, and its excellent qualities have secured it a preference to all other compositions; it is a powerful astringent, and in most cases will remove all heats, ulcers, and gum boils from the mouth. Those who experience painful nervous aches in the face, arising from complaints in the gums or teeth, will, in all probability, be relieved by a liberal use of the Lotion.

ST. PETERSBURGH, MARcii 1829. 1 A Russian Staff Officer (General Jomini, understand) has published anonymously a state ! mein which had made a considerable impression Ihere, as it is the only official document yet issued I relative to the campaign. I n thi s h e attempts to vindicate the glory of the Russian arms, and takes up the cudgels against all the journalists of Europe. He begins, of course, by stating that the war was undertaken in the holiest of all causes, and that the Russians were driven into the field by the bad faith and repeated aggres sions of their enemies. Nothing (according to his account) can be more moderate, more disin terested than the views of the Emperor, who has no wish to disturb - the balance of Europe, no desire for territorial 'aggrandisement whatever ! He then proceeds to % ,state that an army of 115,000 " effective men," animated with these peaceable views, crossed the Pruth and Da nube; and, deducting from this formidable muster of " effective men" no less a number' than 30,000 for non-effective men (bouches inutiles ), we arc • informed that the remain der pushed on as a sort of pilot balloon to feel the way ; with this force he modestly disclaims all idea of marching direct to Constan tinople. Here the military historian may be be lieved, for all Europe is of opinion that the at tempt would be hazardous in the extreme. He appears quite aware of the difficUlties of the en terprise, and observes that if 250,000 French veterans over-run (se soul promises) Spain without conquering the country, what can be ex pected in Turkey, where there are fewer re sources, and a more warlike population ? Having given a detail t‘f the operationsat the commence ment of the campaign, he states that the protrac tion of the siege of Varna was owing to the epi demic which raged in the army. Here he com mits himself; and says that the mortality was so great that the whole corps of General Sherbatoff was barely sufficient to make up the deficiency. The failure of the siege of Silistria is attributed to a delay occasioned by some mistakes, purely administrative (parement administrations.) No allusion whatever is made to the siege or capture of Brailow, nor is much said relative to the opera tions before Shumla ; it appears that every manoeuvre was tried to induce Hussein Paella to come out and fight, but all in vain. The scene now changes to the east. Here is a vast field, and the feats of Paskewitz are represented to equal the oriental conquests of Tamerlane or Zengis Khan. Unfortunately the theatre of war was so remote that few had the opportunity of peeping Liehind the scenes to see what was really going on ; but it is whis pered, even here, that Paskewitz has suffered more than his confederates in the west, and that his army, at the close of the campaign, was re duced to 10,000 men. Some advantages be certainly obtained : and it is worthy of remark that the conquered territory is now organised as a Russian province. Paskewitz, too, remained stationary during winter; and, so far from,ex.. tending his conquests, it is well known that the Turks have been the aggressors, for they were repulsed in an attack on one of the conquered towns. General Jomini then proceeds to reca pitulate the victories gained by the Russian arms, and concludes by observing, that " should the second campaign be as unfortunate' as the first, every difficulty must necessarily be surmounted, the army encamped in the plains of Adrianople, or in tranquil possession of the capital itself. In addition to the more important trophies ac. quired by such splendid achievements are 1,280 pieces of cannon, 400 stand of colours, and 20,000 prisoners.—Such is the triumphant re. sult of a campaign which has cost Russia no more than 18 or 20,000 men in killed and wounded !" So says the historian. I will con emy observations by one re mar k. I was hde informed l by a Russian officer that 6,000 men fell at Brailow. I know that 1,000 wounded (including a few sick) landed at Odessa during the first fortnight of my residence there ; every hospital in the place was then crowded, and there were at least 5,000 sick and wounded at Varna, waiting their turn to be conveyed to more comfortable quarters. The slaughter during the siege was horrible in the extreme, in consequence of the nature of the operations, and the preci sion with which the Turkish troops fired. A. thousand men, at least, fell in the massacre of the 18th September near Varna, so that the loss occasioned by the capture of these two fortresses, will alone equal, if not exceed the amount of this champion of truth has exhibited as the whole loss of the Russian army. But when the casu alties of the whole campaign are taken into con sideration, I am .convinced the aggregate amount will equal (if not exceed) the calculations made by every nation in Europe, Russia excepted. Little has been done during winter, for the nature of the soil and climate of Turkey pre cludes the possibility of conducting military operations on an extended scale ; besides, both armies, worn out by the fatigues of a most haras sing campaign, are glad of some repose, and show but little inclination to interfere with each other ; still, however, the hostile forces have continued on the qui vive, for on three occasions have the guns of the fortress (the " Tower " of St. Petersburgh) announced some new conquest, and thrice have the captured standards been paraded through the principal streets of the capital ; but on inquiry I found that these were but trifling successes, and I have reason to be lieve that the captured places are as unimportant in a military, as they are in a geographical point of view, for their names do not appear in any map I have yet seen—they are probably some newly-erected points d'appui, more in the cha racter of a Burmese " stockade " than a regular fortress. Two other events have likewise excited a great sensation at St. Petersburgh—the retirement of Count Wittgenstein, and the determination of the Emperor not to interfere in the prosecution of the approaching campaign, or appear at the head of his troops in the character of their com manding officer. As for Wittgenstein, he has retired on a pension, some say of 50,000, and others of 75,000 rubles a-year ; the immediate cause of his dismissal (for such it really was) is not publicly known; the failure of•the siege of Silistria, which was conducted under his imme diate orders, was surely not sufficient to affect his character as Commander, or to tarnish the glory he so justly acquired during the French war. There must be other reasons. Wittgen- PRICE 7D. tain is an officer of the old school, and a treigner, and as such, it is probable he occa ioned a degree of jealousy incompatible with he interests of the army ; at all events, circum stances have required his dismissal. The Empe .or, who may probably contemplate a more ex ended field of operations for his forces, is anxious to encourage native merit exclusively; and if .what I hear be correct, the army will be formed , o strictly after the Bonaparte model, that pro motions will he made from the ranks, if advan %igeous to the heroic. Wittgenstein is beloved I►y all who knew him, as a truly honest and sorthy man ; he has retired in comparative poverty. His son married, a :,hort time since, Princess Radzivilofr, the richest heiress in Russia. Of his successor, General Diebitsh, I know nothing, but that he is a man of great military pretentions, of remarkably diminutive person, and enjoys the confidence of the Em peror to the fullest extent. Nicholas having " fleshed his maiden sword " in one campaign, has most prudently resigned the management of a second to those who are more experienced in the art of war than himself. All Europe has viewed this measure with great ,atisfuction, for war is a fascinating game, par , titularly for young Princes ; and if the Emperor of Russia should ever become a decided " ama teur," he might prove a dangerous neighbour to some persons I could name. His panegyrists are loud in their praises of his magnanimity, in , voluntarily relinquishing the chance of becoming a hero of renown. But, between ourselves, Ni cholas was heartily sick of campaigning ; and being, in a domestic point of view, a pattern for young Sovereigns, it is natural he should prefer the society of a lovely wife and a most interest ing family (to say nothing of the comforts of ten or a dozen palaces) to the rugged features of war, a cabin on board a line-of-battle-ship, or the questionable accommodations of a tent under the walls of a Turkish fortress. Besides, the prospects of his acquiring the title of a " Con quering Hero " are rather uncertain, for the enemy has hitherto evinced a decided objection to field operations on an extended scale. A Turkish war is therefore what the French term /a petite guerre, and consists of a succession of petty skirmishes and harassing operations of an inferior order, without any of the grand ma noeuvres which a professor contemplates with so much delight.

Charles Mandell, who described himself in his schedule as a merchant, was opposed by Mr. COOKE on behalf of Messrs. York and Sheepshank, exten• sive clothiers, at Leeds. It appeared from the statement of the insolvent, who is a native of the Netherlands, that he came to England in 1825, having what he conceived a suffi cient capital—viz., a thorough knowledge of the English mode of trading. lie first began business as a chymicai refiner of gold ; but after dealing largely in that trade, he failed. In November, 1828, he took promises in Bateman's-buildings, where he traded as a merchant under the firm of Blondell and Co. ; in the February following a Mr. Poynter in troduced him to a Mr. Lunn, of Leeds, and that person introduced him to the opposing creditors, of whom he got woollens to the amount of 2504, at three months' credit, which goods he sold soon after wards to a countryman of his for 217/., but he never received any portion of the money, as the person absconded to Germany. The opposing credi tors afterwards arrested the insolvent. Mr. COOKE submitted, that the insolvent having traded under the firm of " Blondell and C 0.," and having only described himself in his schedule by the single name of " Blondell," had not described himself properly, and that therefore he should be remanded to re-advertise. The Court held the objection to be valid, and Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said that as it would be necessary to adjourn the case for the purpose of re advertising with a proper description of the insol vent, the Court would not at present pass its judg ment. James M'Leish, late of Charles-street, Hatton garden, was opposed by Mr. COOKE on behalf of Mr. Robert Berms. Some other creditors appeared to oppose in person. Mr. Benns was now out of business; he formerly kept the Globe Tavern, in Charles -street, Hatton garden, and, being desirous of retiring, the insolvent agreed to take the tavern of him for 1,800/, of which 1,500/. was the price of the lease and good will, and 310/. the fixtures were valued at. On giving the insolvent possession in April, 1828, the latter paid him 500/. in cash, and gave him bills at three, six, nine, and twelve months, for the remain der. All the bills were dishonoured. After the first bill was dishonoured, Mr. Berms went to the insolvent to ask the reason he had not paid it, when he replied, " Oh! I never intended to pay it." Mr. Beans was then desirous of get- ting possession again, and offered the insol4nt 1,400/. for the house, if he Ivouldtake his own bills in part payment. This the insolvent refused. Before Mr. Benns parted with the house, the insolvent told him that he was going to marry a young woman with whom he should have 1,0001., and that he should sell his baker's shop (being then a baker) for 700/. Witness believed those representations, and therefore consented to sell his business to him. In cross-examination by Mr. HEATH, the witness said that the insolvent had brought an action against him for deceiving him with regard to the business of the house; witness was, however, prepared to meet it. Ile told the insolvent that he took 2001. a month, which was true, and he was prepared to prove it. The business, upon •his oath, was such as he repre sented it to be. Mr. COOKE said it was clear that when tile insol vent took the house he made a false representation of his means of payment to `Zr. Benns. Mr. HEATH hoped there was nothing in the case to justify any severe sentence on the insolvent. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS, in delivering the jndgment of the Court, adjudged the insolvent to be remanded for eight months from the date of filing his petition. KEY WEST, JUNE 3.—The Britannia, Lams, from Jamaica to London, driven on shore in the Florida Reef, and brought in here, was sold a few days ago with her cargo, for 50,000 dollars. On Thursday the inhabitants of this parish as sembled in vestry, for the purpose of electing the parochial officers for the ensuing year, under the terms of their new Art of Parliament. The new officers who were to receive an emolu ment for their services, were those of surgeon to the parish and yolk ctor of the poors'-rate. A discussion arose, first as to the amount of compensatioit to he given to the collector, and subsequently as to the salary to he paid to the surgeon, which was eventu ally decided as follows, viz. :—the collector to re ceive one per cent. upon the gro ss amount that he collected, which it was calculated would produce 100/. per ann. ; and that the surgeon should receive a -alary of SO!. a year for his services. These pre liminaries having been settled, two persons were nominated for the office of collector, Mr. Callaghan, brass-founder, of Exeter -street, and Mr. Smith, glover, of Brydges-street. The show of hands was declared to be in favour of the latter, when a poll was demanded. For the appointment of surgeon, Mr. Brooks and Mr. Beaman were put in nomina tion. The latter was declared to have the majority of hands in his favour. A ballot was also demanded on the part of Mr. Brooks; and it was then decided that the poll should be opened at eleven o'clock the next morning, to be kept open for two days, and to close each day at four .o'clock. Durisn the whole of Friday and Saturday the greatest exertions were used by:the friends of the different candidate; astd at the close of the poll on Saturday, the numbers were declared as follows . • For Surgeon Mr. Beaman 216 Mr. Brooks 140 Majority —76 `Mr. Callaghan 2OB For Collector l Mr. Smith 149 Majority —59 Mr. Beaman and Mr. Callaghan are both of the reform parry, and the latter has deservedly acquired n great degree of popularity throughout the parish, in consequence of his humanity and anxiety in the ease of the unfortunate• sufferers by the falling of several houses in Exeter -street, some time ago: PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

OXFORD, JUNE 13.—The Regius Professorship of Divinity in this University, to which is annexed a Canonry of Christ Church and the Rectory of Ewelme, has been given to the Rev. Edward Bur ton, B.D. late Student of Christ Church. It is but justice to Ministers to state that no appointment could have been more judiciously made, nor could any have given more general satisfaction than this has done. Mr. Burton is well known to the literary world as the author of a very valuable theological work on the " Testimonies of the Ante-Nicene Fathers to the Divinity of Christ." He has long been distinguished in the University as an admirable classical and critical scholar, and is perhaps altogether the person, of all others, best calculated to fill the important post now conferred upon him with credit to himself and advantage to the University. On Saturday last, being the last day of the Easter Term, the following degrees were conferred :-- MASTERS OF ARTS. Henry Hodgkinson Bobart, Christ Church. Rev. Francis Aunesley, St. John's. Rev. John Missing, Magdalen Hall. Lovelace Bigg Wither, Oriel. Rev. Edward Truemau, Worcester. BACHELORS OF ARTS. Charles Marriott, Queen's. Edward Hartley Orme, St. Mary Hall. Sir Thomas F. F.

They had hi therto been amenable only to the Silk Act (17th Geo. 111. ch. 56), one section of which rendered the journeymen liable to punishment upon proof before a Magistrate that he had neglected' his work for eight successive days: and in the event of " a strike," the men invariably resorted to the practice of sealing up the looms, containing the property of their em• ployers, unsealing the loom once in the week, and weaving a small portion (perhaps an inch or two) of work, in order to evade the charge of neglecting it for eight days. There has been a 'dif ference of opinion among the Magistrates as to the construction of the enactment in question, whether or not there must be a total neglect or su-pension of work for the eight days; but the men have always been successful in their evasion, as above mentioned. In the 4th of the present reign, an Act, chap. 34, was passed, extending the powers of Magistrates in cases between masters and servants. The third section enacts, that if any servant in husbandry, arti ficer, calico-printer, handicraftsman, collier, keelmati, pitman; glass-man, potter, labourer, or other per son, shall contract with any person whomsoever to serve him or her for any time or ift any other mari ner, and shall Hot enter into or commence his or her service according to contract (such contract being in writing, and signed by the contracting patties), or having entered into such service shall absent himself or herself before the term of his or her contract, whether in writing or not in writing, shall be com pleted, or neglect to fulfil the same, or be guilty of any other misconduct or misdemeanour in the exe cution thereof, or otherwise, respecting the same, then and in every such case it shall be lawful for any justice of the peace,of the county or place wherein such persona-shall haverontractutLor-ireerreasp4nyed, or be found, - to issue his warrant for apprehending the person, and to examine into the matter of com plaint ; and if substantiated, to commit the defen dant to the House of Correction and. hard labour, for any reasonable time not exceeding three months, or in lieu thereof to punish by abating the whole - or any part of the wages. This act, although very comprehensive, was not considered as in c l u si ve o f persons engaged in the silk trade, and the journeymen weavers were held liable only under the " Silk Act," 17th of the late King. Last week, however, a short act was passed, entitled " An Act to extend the provisions of an Act passed in the 4th of the present reign, for enlarging the powers of justices in determining complaints between masters and ser vants, to persons engaged in silk manufac tures." It states that, " Whereas it is expedient to extend the provisions of the former act, be it enact ed, that all the provisions of the said act be extend ed to all persons engaged, whether as masters, ser vants, apprentices, or otherwise, in the several ma nufactures, trades, and occupations mentioned in the act 17th of the late reign, entitled an act for amending and rendering more effectual the several laws now in being for the more effectual preventing of frauds and abuses by persons employed in the manufacture of hats, and in woollen, linen, fustian, cotton, iron, leather, fur, hemp, flax, mohair, and silk manufac ture," and also for making provisions to prevent frauds by journeymen dyers, in the same mariner as if such persons had been specially mentioned therein. There are more first-rate horses to start this week for the cup at Ascot than have hen seen together on the same course for a considerable time. The Revenue on Coal for the last ten years has been about a million a year. This does not include the Revenue derived by the City. The following singular instance of a lady's caprice occurred yesterday at the parish church of St. George's, Hanover-square :—ln the early part of the morning a handsome equipage, belonging to a gentleman of large fortune, drove up to the door of one of the most fashionable milliners in Regent-street, which was speedily followed by a lime carriage, having a coronet emblazoned on its panels. In the course of half an hour four other carriages came up, when white favours and gloves were presented to the servants by order of the gentleman, and handsome presents were made to the females of the house. To the lady, who it is said possesses a title, a beautiful wedding dress was presented, of the value of one hundred guineas, besides jewellery. Every thing being ready, the gentleman handed into the carriage his betrothed ; but, on their arrival at church, and just as the ceremony was about being commenced, the fickle fair one expressed her dissent to the ceremony. The friends immediately gathered round her for an explanation, but after a long and huitless at-. tempt to get the lady to comply, she, with the greatest nonchalance, turned on her heel, left the altar, and pro ceeded to her carriage and drove oft', leaving the intended bridegroom stupified with amazement. The company drove back to the house from whence they started, and where they remained a considerable time; but what was the tffect of the interview must for the present remain a. mystery. Although we made repeated inquiries as to th o names of the parties, the utmost secrecy was maintained Sunday Times. At the Russell Institution on Friday night, Mr. PHILLIPS delivered a series of Lectures on the Art of Singing and Vocal Compositions, which attracted such crowds of visitors that standing room could scarcely ho obtained. Mr. PHILLIPS took a comprehensive view of the difference between the ancient and modern Italian me thods of singing the scale. In explaining the solfeggio, he referred frequently to a large printed scale stuck op hind him, and expounded the analogies and discrepancies between the Italian and English languages, and the best adaptation of the latter to singing, in so plain and lucid a manner, that his arguments were convincing to every ca pacity. Mr. PHILLIPS was peculiarly happy in his scien. tific demonstrations by references to principles of anatomy, and in supporting his doctrines by the authority of cele brated musicians and singers, such as Rossam, Et ANCJII, Madame Malta, &c. Suffice it to say that his matter, as well as his manner and elocUtion, did ,him great credit. and gave universal 'satitliteAton; that he was warmly and repeatedly encored, , and, — thanking the audience for their , attention and suppprt ); inDOuscea his, se cond lecture Ink •• • , Wednesday next, a 4) iast gfDif al, lipphis.• t.„ • n 2 Ma gt;g4' :(1. i 7 . ... ...- ...a n'
