How much were those envied who fortuntttely :',!u with them one of NICOLL'S PALETOTS ! This garment, in Popularity, may be compared to the Blouse of Germany, and is, during the hot weather, worn without another coat. They are of two kinds, one resembling in colour the usual attire of 'an English Gen tleman; but that which was so much worn at these races is of the Sante nature as those shipped by the Patentees for the East and West Indies, being very light and porous, and which, from its colour, has obtained the singular nick-name of the ' Dust-all I' " Made only by 11., J., and D.

ROWLAND and SON, 20, HATTON-GARDEN, LONDON. Whettley Lodge, near Taunton. Gentlemen,— I consider It almost an imperative duty to state the valuable efficacy of your most excellent MACASSAR OIL. For the last fifteen years I have been bald, occasioned by a most dreadful fever whilst in India. I have used almost every means to procure a head of hair again, but all my efforts seemed fruitless, until, acci dentally, a friend advised the use of your valuable Hair Restorer, (lean give it no better name,) and after using a 3s. Gd. bottle, every symptom of a new head of hair began to show itself, to the surprise of both myself and family. I resolved on having another, and ob ained another bottle, and, before the whole of which was used, I had, and have now, as handsome a head of hair as ever man en joyed, and I earnestly recommend all who have not tried this most excellent Oil, will not fail to do so. I am, Sirs, your most grateful and obedient servant, .r. WALKER, Colonel. ROWLAND'S MACASSAII OIL Is the only article that produces and restores Hair; also WHIS TLERS, MUSTACHIOS, and EYE-BROWS; prevents Hair from falling off or turning grey to the latest period of life; changes grey hair to its original colour—frees it from scurf, and makes it beauti faUY SOFT, CURLY, and GLOSSY.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health fell threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understan I ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of . human disappointments and their ways of relief; it-lz not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. NEW COURT. SENTENCE ON TIIE SELF-CONFESSED ROBBER AND MURDERER. — SINGULAR CASE.—William Henry Norman, aged 26, described in the calendar as a labourer, was indicted for stealing gold and silver moneys to the value of 501., the property of Wm. Hoof, his master. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner on being arraigned pleaded guilty, and handed in a paper to the bench, which was read by the Common Sergeant to the Court. It ran us follows:— . "That your bumble petitioner, in plead ing guilty to th, offence with which he Stan .5 indicted, wishes the Court to take into consideration, that he was not n responsible agent at the time of committing the act, and that in committing that and (Alter crimes, ha does but follow the path of destiny marked out for him. As, however, such crimes should not go un punished, he begged to make three propositions to the bench. The first was, that he (the prisoner) should play, the Learned .Judge a game at billiards, a hundred up the board. Secondly, that he should play him a game of draughts, best two out of three. Thirdly, he should play him either at chess or cricket; that it prisoner was the winner he was to be set free, and if on the con trary, he was content to he hanged by the neck on the following morning till he was dead." Whilst this extraordinary petition was being read, the prisoner kept grinning and staring about the court in an apparently demented state. The Common Sergeant inquired of several of the officers, and also of Mr. Cope ,the governor of Newgate, under whose surveillance the prisoner has been, whether there was any ground for thinking him insane? They all said decidedly not. Mr. Clarkson then went on to state to the Court the facts connected with the case, which, as they have been so fully and recently before the public, we give in as brief a form as possible. The prosecutor was a builder at Kensington, and the prisoner a clerk in his employ. In the early part of the present year he was sent with the sum named in the indictment to make a payment on behalf of his master, with which he absconded. He then addressed him a letter, stating that he was an illegitimate outcast in society, going into a detail of robberies he had committed, and that he had taken part In several murders ; and that on one occasion he had robbed the Custom-house in Calcutta, where he had a situation as clerk. Seve ral of the robberies he confessed to as having been committed in Eng land were found to be true. Some time subsequent ) o f the robbery on Mr, Hoof, he was met in Liverpool by a gentleman who knew him in the Custom-house in Calcutta, and he gave hint in custody for the robbery committed there, and he was taken before the police authorities at Liverpool, who, having heard of the robbery committed on Mr. Hoof, at once sent him up to London, and the charge of rob , bingtheCustom of -houseinainto a Calcutta was as abandoned, In consequence of the difficulties The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to seven years' transporta tion, observing that if there was any ground for supposing him in sane, there would be ample time to discover it before he left New gate; and then the sentence could be reversed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.--JaMeS Young, a young man of stylish appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged on suspicion of having picked the pocket of a lady at the Cambridge station of the Eastern Counties Railway. Samuel Davey, one of the railway officers, stated that while on duty at the above station, Shortly after the arrival of the two o'clock train from London on the preceding afternoon, he received in formation that one of the lady passengers, who had just gone on with the train to Norwich., had been robbed of her purse in the refteshment-room, and the prisoner, whe had come up in the same carriage, was pointed out as the perm suspected. Witness accordingly kept a strict watch upon his movements, and observed that he never once left the premises u , til the return train to town was about to start, when, upon being asked if he intended to travel by it, the prisoner replied in the affirmative, and produced a second-class ticket. Directly afterwards, however, he got into a first-class carriage, and on being cautioned by the witness that he had entered the wrong vehicle, the prisoner denied that such was the case, and exhibited another ticket for the first-class. The train then started, and the witness, who had previously observed the prisoner leave one of the private recesses, proceeded to search it, and having discovered there an empty purse, ha instantly communi cated the tact, and a description of the prisoner's person at the office of the electric telegraph, with directions for their transmission to London, that the prisoner might be secured on his arrival. William henry Frencli, a clerk at the Shoreditch terminus, de posed to having received the telegraph announcement in little more than half a minute after it had been made at Cambridge, so that on the train reaching London about three hours subsequently, he gave orders for the prisoner's apprehension. Police-constable Lee, G 177, stated that he received charge of the prisoner, who exhibited the utmost confusion on heating tile nature of the charge, and upon searching bins at. the. statiou-houkie, a lady's: gold watch, together with two sovereigns, some silver. and a penknife were found in his possession. He was subsequently confronted with Herrington, an officer of the detective force, who instantly recognised him as an accomplished memter of the " swell mob," and stated that he was well known on the other side of the water. Mr. Games, who attendeded for the prisoner, submitted that there was no evidence whatever to esmblish the accusation, but . . Mr. BINGHAM considered the whole of the prisoner's conduct was so rife with suspicion that he felt it his duty to remand him for the production of further evidence, but he had no objection to accept bail for his appearance, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each. INQUEST ON TUE HON. COL. BUTLER, M.P.—Yester day, Mr. Carttar held an inquest at the Ordnance Arms, York-road. Lambeth, on the body of Colonel Butler, aged 72, M.P. for Kilkenny. Richard Green, a police-constable, deposed that on Saturday night last, whilst on duty at Astiey's Theatre, he went, being requested, to the house where the deceased resided, in York-street, and found the door of the back room, on the first floor, locked from the inside. Having forced the door, he discovered the deceased partially sitting upon a chair, and his head reclining upon some linen. Ile was quite dead, and had his clothes on. Witness noticed a bottle of medicine standing on the mantel-piece, but nothing indicating that he had taken any deleterious mixture. Mrs. Eliza Fernanday said that the deceased had regularly resided In her house for several years, during the period he had to be in town, to attend to his Parliamentary duties. She saw him last alive on Saturday at noon ; he then appeared more composed than he had been during the previous /ley. An hour prior, he was seized with a shivering sensation resembii4g the ague. Wit ness asked him to let her send for meilcal assistance, which lie at first refused, but afterwards he sent her to Mr. Farmer, a chatrast, of the Westminster-roa ,, , who gave him a mixture, of which he took one dose. Witness then left him, and on her return to his bed-room shortly afterwards she found the door locked. Having knocked at the door, she said, " It is time, Colonel, to take your medicine." o'clock a very common expression of his. At flve b re but he could get no answer.

THE QUEEN DOWAGER. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) RAMSGATE, JUNE 16.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite arrived here by special train this afternoon, at one o'clock, en route to Ostend, for which purpose the Admiralty yacht Black Eagle had been placed at her disposal. The first intimation of her arrival was given to the public by the hoisting of the royal standard on the church, and a salute of twenty-one guns from the pier, and shortly after the royal party proceeded to the yacht, which was lying at the mouth of the harbour, both piers of which were crowded with spec tators anxious to catch a glimpse of their transient visitor. The Garland mail-packet departed with the carriages two hours before her Majesty, so as to be in readiness for her at Ostend. James Macgregor, Esq., chairman, Feilden, Esq., M.P., Vis count Torrington, and other directors of the South-Eastern Railway, were in attendance upon her Majesty while on her journey from London. _ _ _ _ . The traffic between this port and Ostend is still on the increase, the number of passengers and carriages in and out from the Ist to the 14th of this month, being, of the former, 846, and of the latter, 20, with the prospect of a still larger increase. IBRAHIM PACHA. BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY—IIIS Serene Highness the Paella has again been busily engaged to-day in further Inspection of the manufac tories of this town. Accompanied as yesterday, he started forth this morning, and first visited the extensive brass foundry of Mr. H. smith, the worthy mayor of the town. After which he proceeded to the rolling mills of Mr. C. Clifford, the ponderous machinery of which, and the pur poses for which it is applied, seemed fairly to astonish his Highness. A small piece of metal, about the eighth of an Inch in thickness, and about two inches in length, was rolled to the length of about two yards, and so pleased was the Pacha with the operation, that he asked permission to retain the piece of metal, which was of course granted. The Government gun-barrel proof house next attracted the atten tion of the party, and his Hi..hness listened to the volleys of fire arms that were being proved as though he was, or had been, well accustomed to the sound. The Britannia nail works was also visited by his Highness, who not only takes a cursory glance at the machinery, but thoroushly observes its action and the adaptation of the various parts. His Highness and party, having returned to the Royal Hotel and partaken of lunch, left that place about three o'clock in the afternoon, and visited the extensive show-rooms and manufactory of Mr. Westley Richards, whose fowling-pieces era so well known over the world. The process of gun-barrel making was next shown to his Highness, at the extensive works of Messrs. Sergeant, who were honoured with a similar visit by his Royal Highness Prince Albert when he was in Birmingham. One of the greatest curiosities to his Highness appeared to be the working of Mr. Farmer's patent portable rotary pumps and fire-engine, the action of which was de scribed by the patentee at his manufactory in Broad-street, who also exhibited a highly-finished model pump, of small dimensions. During the visit his 'Highness also inspected the extensive screw manufactory of Mr. James James. This evening the party dine at the Royal Hotel, and will to-morrow, pay a visit to the extensive Soho worts of Messrs. Boulton and Watts. at Ilansworth, about three miles from this town, after which they will proceed to the London steel works, which fire situated at the a4joining village of Smothwlck. The Gospel Oak Iron Works, In the neighbourhood, 1,11, it is expected, receive a visit front his Highness, who. according to present arrangenlents; win return to Birmingham to-morrow evening, and again leave on the following morning for Manchester, and after inspecting the cotton factories, &c., proceed on his tour northwards. IBRAHIM PACIIA. IN A WHALE'S BELLY. An amusing incident occurred during the Pacha's peregri nation yesterday ; there happens to be at this moment i❑ Bir mingham the skeleton of a large whale on view; at the price of a penny a head. Ibrahim saw the long line of caravans in which this animal is contained, and he paid it au impromptu visit. The show• man received his Highness at the door, and conducted him with all gravity into the while's belly, where he suddenly slipped away and could not be found. The official conductors of the Prince were wholly at a loss to explain the different parts of the huge creature, or to show him the way out again, and a search for the showman was instituted, when he was discovered outside his caravan beating a large gong and blowing a trumpet, bawling at the top of his lungs, when not occupied with his musical instrument, " Now's your time, ladies and gemmen, walk up, walk up, Ibrahim, King of Egypt, and all his officers, are at this moment in my whale's belly, and can't find their way out without me." The fellow's ingenious device (for lie doubled his charge at once) brought so large a crowd that the Pacha and his attendants were fain to make their exit at the whale's vent, as the ordinary entry was too much blocked up for him to be able with convenience to escape as he had come in. DEPARTURE OF THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 15,—The Russian skips Ingermanland, 74, Warsaw, 22, Prince Moscow, 20, put to sea this morning from Spit. head, bound to :St. Petersburgh, and by noon were clear of the Nab light vessel. Her Majesty's steamer Comet was sent by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle to attend them to St. Helen's, and bring on shore any letters or dispatches which the Grand Duke Constantine, or Vice-Admiral Lutke, might have to send. The Baren Brunnow and the Count de Berg left the Admiralty-house, in the Dockyard, soon after breakfast, and returned to London. The dinner on board her Majesty's ship Victory, given by the cap tains and ward-room officers of that ship, the Excellent, Eurydice, Victoria, and Albert yacht, and Seaflower, to the Russian officers, was attended by the captains of their ships, and nine or ten others, but neither the Grand Duke, the Russian Ambassador, the Vice-Admiral, or the Seerctury were present. About eleven o'clock, the greater part of the officers adjourned to the King's-rooms, off Southsea Beach, to the soirée, where they were met by upwards of 100 of ladles and gentlemen 01 the town and neighbourhood, and the dancing was kept up until two o'clock this morning. The Comet steamer was appointed to attend on the Russian officers, and bring them into the harbour, and take them out again to Spithead. And for the marked attention which they have experienced from the officers of the public departments, they have expressed their thanks. The Fairy steam yacht is expected this day from Woolwich, to be ready to convey liar Majesty and the Royal Family to Osborne House. The Contest, 10, was commissioned this morning by Lieutenant Geary, for Commander lvi‘Murdo. Commander J. C. Iloseason went to Plymouth this afternoon, to commission the Inflexible, at that port. rhe following officers are appointed to her : — Lieutenant G. C. Fowler, W. E. A. Gordon, and E. Blankley. The Nautilus brig came in from Shoreham yesterday, to replenish movision and water, and is the only vessel at Spithead. IBRAHIM PACHA AND HIS DOCTOR'S BILL.—It is ge nerally known that Ibrahim Pacha spent a few months in the south of France for the benefit of his health, and that an eminent medical man, Dr. Lallemant, left his practice for a considerable time to attend on the son of Mehemet All. Nothing was arranged as to the fees or the salary of the M.D. until two or three days before Ibrahim Pacha was to leave Paris, and then he sent 50,000 f. (2,0001.) to Dr. Lalle mant. This sum was not considered satis'actou by Dr. Lallemant. who had been building castles with the munificent sum he expected . from the Pacha; and he therefore resiw_to. 14 -- B....itts.G. ue t,l_lll - smered his fees should be estimated at 200,000 f. (8,0001.) It was a source of great vexation to Ibrahim to have undervalu ed the services of Dr. Lallemant, but yet he did N ot make up the donation named, but sent 4,0001. more to the 'earned physician, who then declared himself satisfied with the total received, videlicet 6,0001. THE DEBOTANTE.—This new and piquant story of the day is now generally considered one of the best works of fiction which Mrs. Gore has yet produced. It has all the brilliant wit and pointed sarcasm of her former works, but its merit is not confined to light sketches. We can assure our readers that there is a terrible morale at the bottom of the story. Heartlessness brings its punishment. Vice its just reward, The inevita ble fruits of a marria g e du con venance, where there is no principle to guide either party, and no suitableness in point of years, have never been more forcibly painted than in the ill-fated union between the Dé butante and Lord Alortayne, "the withered Lovelace, the old memorandum book of other women's follies," to whom the fair Eleanor confides her fate. How the fate of this unhappy couple works its , If out; how Lldy Alicia, " with her cold mariner, her head cooler, and her head coldest of all," finds out, after coo short year, that happiness cannot be secured by the most successful dinners, or sympathy by any one unable s h W aN a -e done in the fate y J i ord to offer kindly sympathy' r,eturn—our readers must learn real sore that the will Clandon and Maria Brent on, th e two sterling characters in the book.— Weekly ronicle. emse same lv es. pleasure Ot two we THE RCSSIAN TA f fo ee r l t t h h e RlM—The announcement in the Times this morning respecting a contemplated change in the Russian tariff caused good deal of conversation in the City. Although the concessions proposed are of a nature to attract general attention, they effect so nearly the trading interests of the north of Europe, as to become the sole topic of disco sion in the immediate circles con nected with that branch of baslness. Any relaxation of duties that could be secured to our naerchmlts from the Government of Russia would be gratefully received by those interested lo commerce with that part of the world. It was believed in most quarters some few months ago that so soon as our own modified tariff was in a degree developed we might look for some reciprocity from continental neighbours ; but the public were scarcely prepared for such extensive reductions as it seems are likely to follow the egablishment of the present tables of the duties of the United Xingdeill, The only fear parties engaged in the Russian trade express is, thit tjl4 eliange may be so with the business of the season at St. petepsburgh, now, it would appear, in full activity. If the change should Will cut to be prospec tive, instead of immediate, they will be much bette': satisfied, as in that case they stand in a position to be prepared for the alteration coming into operation either before or at the commencement of the next seisp's career. Be this as it may, we can safely vouch that the illtellionCe of tlic modification of the Russian tariff on the prin ciple explained has sveryWnere Eflyen satisfaction . tines City Article.

PRICE SD. LITERATURE. TRAVELS OF LADY - HESTER STANHOPE. By her Physician. 3 Vas. What the author of these volumes bad commenced in his previous publication, he has completed in these Eastern Travels—namely, a copious biography of Lady Hester Stanhope, the beautiful, accomplished, and ec centric niece of William Pitt. We conceive that in so doing he has discharged himself of a very important duty which he owed to his contemporaries and posterity. For it is precisely from works of this description that we obtain the most correct notion of those domestic re lations which not unfrequently influence the political i ni m o n v movements i n t sof empire. sta t e s l m s e i s a , fr a o n m d t c h h e a in n,7e t e moirs N o V t l . l s o l u e l nd ly that- n m - e a in glean teno no thatur most we ost p correct t into the knowledgeseersecret t oc chambers a the b e o r t s h otherwise the wise hidden machine r y o f t h e G overnment under Hoary the Fourth ; it is from th e auto bi ography of Madame de French Court under Louis the Fourteenth ; it 'is from the remarkable s c h o l ars hi p of Anna Comnena that we obtain the principle portion of our information respect ing the B . ) zantine empir e un d er her brother, the Em peror Comnenus. Indeed, if we survey history from the most ancient to the most modern periods, we shall invariably find that our truest guides to the actuatin g sentiments of a legislator are discoverable, notiu state documents, not in official statistics, not in dry debates, but in those lively, anecdotal, and almost flippant bio graphies which are given to the world by the minor actors in the great scene—by men or women who have associated in familiar life with the more dis eguished personage. Hence it was that the pre vious publication respecting Lady IL ster Stanhope-- though crammed with ridiculous exhibitions of her vanity, and prurient with frivolities—possessed never theless an importance, and attracted an attention en tirely apart from the literary merits of the composition or the personal character of the heroine. Every one turned-very n.turally•to such volumes for some glimpse of the Prime Minister in his morning gown and slippers; they expected to hear the great orator chatting about his opponents over the tea board; they yearned to listen to his views of contemporary legislation and contempo rary legislators, when incited to freedom of remark by the abandon of social conversation. Nor in these ex pectations were they altogether disappointed: much as we might hare experienced a feeling of annoyance at the interminable harping-upon-self in his niece, we ex perienced pleasure notwithstanding at the casual peeps we thereby obtained of the renowned Premier. In the travels, however, which conclude the memoirs of Lady Hester, we are compelled to give ourselves up entirely to the romance attached to that fair adventurer. Pitt has spoken his last harangue, has plotted his lest in trigue; Pitt has drawn his last sad breath in solitude, in desolation, and almost in obscurity; the great Minis ter, whose mandate was so recently the guiding voice of the anti-Napoleon monarchs, is rotting unremembered in his coffin. Lady Hester Stanhope discovers that the talisman which has hitherto obtained her so much adu lation (viz., influence 0 is for ever shivered into atoms. Her heart aches with a feeling of disappointment, and of pensiveness, and of unusual tranquillity. She re solves to dissipate her moodiness by going in quest of adventures, and to distract her memory by visiting foreign countries. The consequence of this resolve is, her migration with a suitable suite (among whom is the writer of the narrative) to the land of the Orientals. Of her singular mode of life in that remote region there is assuredly no Englishman but has listened to some gossip, or who has had his curiosity excited by mysteri ous iruendoes of her magnificence, her loneliness, her hospitality, and her munificence among the"Musselmen. That curiosity may be fully and 'elaborately appeased by the three volumes just published by the anonymous physician of the expedition. His descriptions of the lather uncleanly inhabitants of Syria, of the somewhat unprepossessing females, of the singular customs of the people, of the scenery and of the various cities, are peculiarly lively and as peculiarly graphic. The book is better than a score of ordinary novels for interest, an I is preferable to a thousand works of travel for the truthfulness of its delineations. We only regret when the author forsakes the beaten track of his subject to meddle in matters upon which he only betrays his ignorance. For example, he mentions an hospital at Jaffa, " which is said to have been the grave of many Frenchmen poisoned hy Buonaparte, when he raised the siege of St. Jean d'Acre." Here is the old trumpery libel raked up again, and actually thrust upon the credulity of the reader, after the charge bas been so elaborately refuted by Las Cases, O'Meara, Savory, Hazlitt, and even by Sir Sidney Smith himself, whose silence alone would have constituted its triumphant re futation. For the satisfaction of those who may be inquisitive in such matters of costume, we transcribe the following description of Lady Hester Stanhope's eastern dress:— "la additi.m to her more splendid habiliments, Lady Hester had, whilst at Cairo, procured a travelling Mameluke dress. It consisted of a satin vest, with long s'eeves, open to the bend of the arm, which reached to the hips only, and folding over at the chest was attached with a single button at the throat and waist; over this again she wore a red cloth jacket, in shape like a scanty spencer, with short sleeves, and trimmed with gold lace. The trousers were of the same cloth, gorgeously embroidered with gold at the pockets, as well before as behind. They were large and loose, as is the fashion in Turkey, and, when worn, formed, by their nume rous folds, a very beautiful drapery. Over the wh o l e , w h en on horseback, she wore the burnooz or white-hooded cloak, the pendent tassels and silky look of which gave great ele gance to her figure.. The turban was a Cashmere shawl, put on with the peculiar fulness which the Mamelukes affect in their head-dress, and which is very becoming. This dress, as far as regards the sherwals (or trousers), which ;were of the same colour as the jacket, is peculiar to Egypt: for throughout Syria the sherwals are almost always blue, and generally dark. But this Egyptian costume was more proper for her ladyship, because hersaddle and bridle were Egyptian ; being of crimson velvet embroidered in gold." As some palliation of what might otherwise appear like indecorum, we give the author's account of the lady's reason for abandoning the habiliments more suited to her sex:— " It will be thought by many persons, that Lady Hester Stanhope violated too far the regard due to her sex in the resolution she now adopted of equipping herself as a man, and as a Turk. But let it be recollected that she had lost everything in the shipwreck, and that even the cities of the Levant, had she been in one, had neither milliners nor mantua-makers, who understand how to make European female-dresses, nor materials for them, could she have made them herself. The impossibility of getting what she wanted was therefore so evident, that she unavoidably made choice of the Turkish costume, in which the long robes, the turban, the yellow slippers, and pelisses, have really nothing incompatible with female attire." Nor can we refrain from entertaining the reader with a very gorgeous narrative of a procession of the Sultan at Constantinople. It runs (the narrative, not the pro cession) thus : "First came some dozens of water-carriers, who bore skins of water across their backs, with which they laid the dust as they advanced. On the right and left of the street was a double file of janissaries. Bostangis, with knotted whips, kept the crowd from pressing on the procession. Next to the water-carriers came a group of nondescript persons; grooms to hold horses, servants to unrobe their effendis or masters, and other hangers-oa or attendants of great men. After these, upon a finely caparisoned horse, surrounded by a dozen valets on foot, followed a fierce-looking Turk, with a black beard ; and I and my companion exclaimed, ' Here comes the Sultan :'—it was only his coffee-bearer We made the like remark at a second, and a third • but they were his stool, sword, and pipe -bearers, who, with the emblems of office in their hands, passed in succession. "The surprise which the splendour of these inferior officers of the palace excites is increased, when the Captain Pacha, the Reis Effendi, the Kakhya Bev, and the Grand Vizier, pass by, muffled in pelisses worth 200/. each, wearing in their girdles hangers or daggers studded with diamonds, and mounted on horses almost sinking under the weight of gold housings. Our ideas were confused by the magnificence which we saw displayed. And now, on a sudden, the crowd. which bait been noi .. r anti ututang tnelr remarks on the scene before them, was' hushed. A solemn and really an awful silence prevailed, whilst only low whispers were heard that the commander of the faithful was near.

For instance, formerly the furnaces were generally changed once in each eighteen hours ; at pre sent the quantity of salt is reduced from about 7-: 2 1 to 4 per cent. I beg to hand you enclosed a letter from Mr. Span genburg to Mr. Taylor, dated 24th instant. The results of this first trial on 58 quintals of ore, it will be seen, are very satisfactory ; we are now making preparations to increase this establishment for reducing a larger quantity In the first trial the process proceeded very slowly, but Mr. S. hopes to be able to overcome this ; it will, however, still be necessary to augment the num ber, and put up larger tines than those at present in nse. A great number of people in this neighbourhood have anxiously watched these trials, and I believe nearly all parties are of opinion that it will very soon supersede all other methods of reducing silver ores in this country. Considering such may pos sibly be the case, I am hesitating with respect to the completion of the sixteen new barrels proposed to be erected at Sanchez. Nothing, however, will inter hafover fere with the sp ee dy erect i ons of water-wheel, and if this ne w b ene fi c i o should be found to answer better than the b arre l s, we might then attach 20 or 24 stamp heads continuethethis now in hand I to the wheel, th us i ncreas i ng the quantity by water, instead of by mul es , as proposed at present. In order, ho wever , to avoid being throw n muc h out of gouivren instructions with respect to w orh s ha en ono the barrels, which will not cause much extra expense, even supposing the wheel should ev e nt ua ll y b e used for grinding instead of working the barrels. - I noticed in my letter orlast month that the grinding power at Sanchez, when the additional arrastres are completed, would be equal to about 560 cargas per week ; hut if the 16 barrels now in hand are completed, and discharged twice instead of once in each 24 hours, we shall require nearly double that amount of grinding, for which means must be devised hereafter. By Mr. Woodfield's letter to . Mr. Taylor, dated the 24th instant, you will perceive that the returns from Regla patio of last month were considerably less than the estimate, Mr. Woodfield having deemed it expedient to delay the washing of 3 or 4 tortos, in consequence of their not being properly rendido, but which, in the earlier part of the month he expects to have brought in. In the first three months of the year there were 927 montones ground in this hacienda, whereas only 730 were washed, Leming a surplus of 197 montones for the second quarter. By the statement of costs and returns for March, it will ba seen that the total silver produce amounted altogether to only 27 b ars, comprising 12 from llegla patio, 9 from Fundiciones, and 6 from Sanchez ; total value, 32,000 dollars. The mines cost amounted to 25,400 dollars general expenses ; charges on produce, minerals, &c., 6,689 dollars ; the haciendas to 2,270 dollars; making a total of 54,360 dollars, thereby showing a loss of 22,380 dollars. The reason of the small returns from the Fundiciones I explained in my letter of last month ; namely, the breaking of the main rods in the Dolores diagonal shaft, which prevented the working in the Santiago level west, and in the San Enrique and San Pablo bottoms, and which compelled us for upwards of a fortnight to sus pend the workings of the Fundiciones. During this time also, it should be borne in mind, that Acosta Mine was nearly full of water, while Terreros engine was being erected ; and besides which there was not less than 8,200 dollars for stores at Regla brought into this month's accounts, which should have been en tered two months before. There were also 2,820 dollars charged for materials, &c., for San Antonio hacienda. Fur the present month the returns will, I expect, be something better than the estimate ; say„ e about 42 bars. Even during this time we lost nearly one week's work on the best 'shores, on account of the Semana Santa. However, after all these misfortunes and drawbacks, I have the satisfaction of informing the directors that our prospects of future returns have of late decidedly improved. The raisings of this month have been as follows : -, 4 • i‘ Azoque. Fuego. April 4 519 725 946 cre l a n se t , h b ela h s t w ofA ee z k og t u h e e a re nd w s il m i e b lt e ing see o n re. a. T n h otb• e a l l a e tt i e n r: however, is at the present moment of the greatest importance ; and as you will perceive by Captain Ratling's report, that the lode in Santiago level west of Dolores is about a of a taras wide, a large portion of which smelting ore, assaying 150 mares per mouton, while the remainder is Azoque, containing from 25 to 30 mares per monton, and taking into consideration that this place is about 15 varas east, and 17 yams below the San Pablo winze, there is reason to expect that the whole of this piece of ground will turn out to be productive. I therefore venture to make out the estimate for next month as follows : Dollars. Cost 5 weeks Returns 58 bars Profits 13,300 y se p T ob s ab to ili b ty e O le f n i g ts th e e o n n i t n in g ui i n n g the for a considerable time to come. I expect, therefore, we SaAntniadg,o as, shall go on making profits for the remaining p art t t h h e e re g i r s o e u i n e d r of the year ; if the ore continues as at present, there can be no doubt about it. By Captain Skinfell's report you will be informed that the east new engine at Acosta was put to work on the 2d instant. We have had some difficulty in forking the water, in consequence of a pump having broken out ; I trust, however, we have at last overcome all difficulties, as the engin° urks remarlr.to r ~01, and tieepkthe water t y he e r y middle m p a u: pm after e n are which h i e n h o wwe shall employed resume fixing the two new plunger lifts at the Aviadero level, which Captain Skiniell calculates will be finished about driving the new level twenty-four varas below the Aviadero, and also with the sinking of the shaft— two most important works which have been delayed so long a time owing to the increase of water. You will notice that Captain P. speaks of a wince called San Pascul, situated 246 varas south of Aoosta b o e f lo s w me t l h t e in S g an or A e n a to b n o i u o t le a ve f l o , o i t n l w vi l d li e e , h w t h he ic re h isim assay e d o n un wfi d er i we rose some very rich ore in thehore, place much re liancevery bunchy, and we cannot, of this class.

The mine essays average from 9- 2 1 : to cargas 10 mares, and I expect will give about 8 in hacienda. The quantity of ore might easily be increased, but at present there are no means of reducing it. I propose confining the raising to nearly sufficient to supply ' Sanchez.—Railway Herald. abundance.a zo B q y u e t , i e therestatement is gre a o t n probability o h o side GRADUAL RISE OF NEWFOUNDLAND ABOVE THE SRA. —lt is a fact worthy of notice, that the whole of the land in and about the neighbourhood of Conception Bay, very probably the whole island, is rising out of the ocean at a rate which promises, at no very distant day, materially to affect, if not to render useless, many of the best harbours we have now on the coast. At Pert de Grave, a series of observations have been made, which undeniably prove the rapid displacement of the sea-level in the vicinity. Several large flat rocks, over which schooners might pass some thirty or forty years ago with the greatest facility, are nose approaching the surface, the water being scarcely navigable for a skiff. At a place called the Cash, at the head of Bay Roberts, upwards of a mile from the sea-shore. and at several feet above its level, covered with five or six feet of vegetable mould, there is a perfect beach, the stones being rounded, of a moderate size, and in all respects similar to those now found in the adjacent land-washes. —Newfoundland Times.

The boat-race last evening, amongst the members of this highly respectable club, for silver oars and a rudder, was one of the most dashing and spirited of the whole season. The distance was from Vauxhall to Putney bridge White 1.--Messrs. Butterfield, Rea, J. T. West, and L. T. Strut 's)n —I. Reynolds, coxswain. Red 2.- - Messrs. 11. S. Edward, C. Baker, S.

The start took place at about a quarter to seven. They all went away well together, and at a very rattling speed. After a few strokes, Yellow showed a slight lead, all the rest being in a cluster. White and Red then made play, and having challenged Yellow, the latter fell into the third place for a moment, and were then displaced by Light Blue, but the whole of the boats continued very near to ea At other. Yellow, however, was not so easily disposed of, and off the Red House had a dashing spurt with Light Blue, whose No. 2 had snapped his stretcher. A smart race between the first and second boats, won by half a length only ; the third boat a length astern of the second. The match was well attended. CAUTION.—A correspondent states that it may not be generally known that a law is still unrepealed, which was passed very many years since, fur the protection of the brass button trade, and which makes it a fineable offence to manu facture buttons of silk, cloth, &c. Taking advantage of this Act, a person has been hard at work endeavouring to extort money by threats of action. Amongst others, he has called upon the Messrs. Nicoll, both in Regent-street and Cornhill, who are most extensive manufacturers of buttons, covered with Llama cloth, for their registered Paletot, and whom, if liable, are so to an enormous extent. The Messrs. Nicoll have, however, expressed their determination to resist to the uttermost, and thus put the question at rest, should the movers in it carry out their threats. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT BERMONDSEY.—Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a very extensive fire broke out in the premises belonging to Messrs. Ilayly and Son, sail-manu facturers. at Bermondsey-wall. The discovery was made by Ser geant Middleton, of the M division. An unusual glare of light, in the upper floor of the building, convinced the officer that the place was on tire, and not many minutes elapsed before the flames shot through every window, and for nearly an hour the reflection of the conflagration could be seen from the most distant pans of the metropolis. Engines from the London establishment, with Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent; the West of England, with Connorton • as well as the parish engines, arrived in quick suc cession. The fire, however, had assumed a most alarming aspect, for not only were the whole range of premises where it com menced completely enveloped, but a spacious wooden bridge, ex tending across the street, was also blazing away with gre .t fury. At first it was feared that the contiguous grana ries of -Messrs. Begbie and Co., and Messrs. Somers, would have also fallen a prey to the flames. The water ClUlll the mains in . e.— manequate to feed the whole of the engines; the powerftil float from notherhithe was, therefore, moored up, and set to work. The premises abutting upon the river the firemen were enabled to discharge copious streams from the float into tile midst of the flames, and with the assistance of the land engines, the fire was subdued by one o'clock. By that hour Messrs Ilayly's front build ing was nearly gutted, and the adjoining premises severely damaged. The origin of the Are could not be as .ertained. The police, under Inspector Frond, had a most difficult task to perform, in keeping the many thousand spectators out of the reach of danger. CAUTION TO LADIES.—We have received the follow ing statement from a lady who is well known to us, and on whose veracity we have the. fullest reliance:—Having occasion, one day during the past week, to purchase a parasol, she went into one of the large drapery establishments in St. Paul's Churchyard. ,%weral ar ticles of this kiad were shown her. Site parch tsed one, and pro ceeded down Ludgate-hill, when. to her great dismay. site found one of the linendraper's most expensive parasols dangling fn an the chats of her watch, and partially covered by her shawl. It was evident that the hook of the parasol had accidentally got entangled in the chain while standing at the counter. She at once hastily returned to the shop and gave back the article. Fortunately it had not been missed, and, as far as this transaction is concerned, the matter ended. But suppose this expensive article had been missed, and the lady fol lowed, and, as mutt have been the case, the property found on her person, no evidence could have been adduced by her to rebut the charge of felony. It would have been sufficient fir the prosecutor to have sworn that this particular article was his, and had been ex hibited for sale to the lady in question, and found wanting when slit left the shop to have justified a conviction. One can hardly contem plate the extent of misery that this charge, even to say nothing Of ccinfictiori, lyonid inflict on a respectable family; and we give pub licity to the circumstance, by way of caution to our Pair reade Q on the one hand, but more particularly to sh ow th at a train of cl rr stances, however apparently conclusive, arecum implicitly relied on.—Times. not at all tim es t o be AMIANT TO MONTES, PfiVOI Posimmicatign Prom VIZ BuLle C adi, received at Bayonne on the 11th inst., has the followi " cannot close my letter without acquainting you with an iinge'id—ent which has filled Cadiz with wonder and consternation. This afternoon, the cele brated torero, or hull tighter, Montes, called, , par excellence, in this La Printers. espada de that is, The first sword of Spain,' was caught by a bull in Cc l i tcusand wounded so badly that the doctors, who are always dangerous pastimes, immediately pronouncod attendancehis case datslnesg desperate, and extreme unotion was forthwith adminNe ad to hint in the am phitheatre. What makes this accident the u snore deporable is the fact, that Montes, who, besides the extreme popularity he has ac quired as a torero, is universally esteemed for his sterling private qualities, retired from the bull-ring two years ago, but was prevailed upon, much against his will, to exhibit his prowess before the Fren ch Frit - secs f$ 4ugust ; ar,d once more Yl.dir'g to the enthutslastic p rayers of hia admirers, he has, I fear, fallen a victim to his good nature In the eleventh hour. Poor fellow! On entering the circus this morning, he said to an a cquaintance, My joints feel ra th er rusty, ' thereby intimating that he was out of train ing.
