Bottles of all de 54.,,,T:ti°na can be stoppered on this principle perfectly air-tight, and o ut scarcely any additional expense on the usual charge. Country Chemists and others, who are in the habit of receiving ex pensive Drugs from London in Store Bottles, have now only to request that their Bottles may have S. MORDAN and CO.'s Imp -Allred Stopper applied to them, which will save all risk of leak ag..l and evaporation. They can also have this Improved Stopper applied to the Bottles daily in use, and which would soon cause a tonsiderable saving to them.—Manufactory, 22, Castle-street, rinshory, London. N.B.

The elopements which, time immemorial, have oc curred in the upper classes, have in their several epochs ex cited citriosity in no ordinary degree. It would be superfluous to enumerate the most remarkable cases, as they cannot fail to be remembered by most of our readers. Whether any of these incidents be commemorated by the writer of the forth coming story entitled " The Elopement," or whether it be a tale of pure fiction, is impossible to be predicated. One thing, however, is certain, if the report of the authorship be correct, namely, that a tale of strong passion and stirring adventure will be embodied in language of powerful eloquence. The time of the story is understood to be that of George the Second. Mr. Liddell has forwarded no reply to the libelled and insulted guardians of our parochial establishment. This is significant. Ile cannot sustain the atrocious charge ; and he has not the manliness to make an apology or retractation. But will the Guardians allow this flagrant attack upon their character to pass unexplained or uriatoned for ? We feel confident in our minds they will not. Mr. Liddell may rest assured that either be or his informant will have to stiffer the disgrace inseparable from having grossly calumniated a class of men whose valuable services and meritorious conduct have secured for them the gratitudC and approbation of all their fcl low-burgesses. Leave your retreat, then, Mr. Liddell, and at once subject yourself to the ordeal from which there is no escape.—Sunderland Herald.

In the year 1838 there will be no fewer than four eclipses of the sun and moon, but only one will be visible, that of the moon, on the 9th of April. The sun will be totally eclipsed on the 25th of March, and an annular ee;ipse of the same luminary will occur on the 18th of September, both in visible in Britain ; and the other eclipse in 1538 will be that of the moon on the 3d of October, when she will sustain only a partial obscuration.

A letter from Luxemburg of the filth sa s : —Mr. Ser ves, a surveyor, has just received orders t pro-eed to-morrow (Friday) to the forest of Grunenwald, h order to measure the portion of the forest in which the Grand Duke intends to hare the timber felled. This news comes from a source that may be depended upon. Thus, while our Go vernment loses its time in negociating, the Grand Duke, supi\orted by the Confederation, proceeds to the first act of takin g p -*session of the territory of Luxemburg.

It is said that either to-day or to-morrow our Ministers will make a diplomatic communication to the Chamb,7rs. P. S.--A QUARTIR BEFORE Fouß O'CLOCK.—.An express from Arlon has just arrived at the Post-office, with very pressing dispatches to the Minister of War. Last night the weather was horrible ; the wind was ex tremely stormy, and we shall doubtless have to deplore new disasters, both by sea and land. In several parts of the city, many windows were broken, a quantity of tiles, and even chimneys, thrown down by this hurricane. The Chamber of Representatives, in the sitting of the 16th„ adopted, by a majority of 64 to 1, the Budget of Ways and Means. It then dist.issed the Budget of the Department of Police, which was agreed to by 148 to 6. On the 18th it agreed unanimously to the project of law on tolls, and then proceeded to that on the law respecting sugars. The debate which ensl,:d, but was not concluded, fills two columns of the Moniteur, PRUSSIA. —The editor of the Allgenteine Zeitung is requested to insert the following declaration ;—" For testimony of the truth, I hereby publicly declare that in a letter to his Biel lency the Minister of State, Von Allenstein, dated Munster, September 20, 1837, I expressly stated the wish that legal validity might be given, by promulgation, to the .Papal Brief issued against the system and the works of Professor. Hermes, adding that as both parties mean well to the doctrines of the Church, the desired concord will be the sooner restored, and• the guardians of the sacred doctrine be relieved from all appre hension. " CASPAR MAX, B:rlpp of Munster. " Baron DRO STE, of Vesehering." VIENNA, DEC. 9.—Official accounts up to the 27th of last month, have been received to-day from Odessa. They bring consolatory intelligence, that from the 17th to the 27th of last month, not a single additional case of plague had occurred, either in the city or the suburbs, and consequently the dis order was to be considered as already terminated. It is true that, notwithstanding this joyful circumstance, no change had been made in measures of precaution, especially as to pre venting all communications with Odessa from other parts. Some relaxations of them, had, however, taken place in the town itself. The reports that have been some days in circulation of an alleged alarming increase of the disorder, and of its approach to the Austrian frontiers, aro proved by these and other accounts to be absolute falsehoods. Neither out of Odessa, nor still less near to our frontiers, or even within them, has there been a single suspicious case, and these reports have doubtless originated solely in the precau tions ordered on the frontiers, or the wicked inventions of spe- culators. His Imperial Highness the Archduke has not yet returned, and will probably not be here before the end of the month, as he intended to spend some weeks with his family in the re tirement of one of his estates.
