Name in full .. •• •• •• Address • •• •• •• •• Referee's name and addr ess Date Statements having been put forth, first, that the cost of manufac ture of certain Ftench Candles, largely imported into this country, Is greater than the selling price ; secondly, that the manufacture of such candles in this country would infringe existing patents here ; the Directors of the British Sperm Candle Company beg to say that if such statements are intended to apply to this Company, they are tot founded in fact. First—They have fully satisfied themselves that the Candles hi therto manufactured and imported from France, and sold here under the name of " Exhibition Sperm," are greatly superior in quality to !1i.7 composite candles hitherto produced, a fact proved by the large demand, exceeding several hundred tons, sold in this country and the colonies, whicb, although charged with fully 20 per cent. extra on the cost price in the shape of freight, duty, and charges, have yet left a very satisfactory return. S econdly —That as this 20 per cent. would be altogether saved by the th raw e manufacture of the candles in this country , and as the cost of material here will be much less than abroad, with greater e conomy in the manufacture itself, the Directors, supporte;t by the r eport of thei r own eng i neer , a ft er inspecting the works he P ar i s, Have satisfied themselves that the manufacture and sale of the can 'lles in this country will afford a very large per tentage on the capital embarked. Thi rdly —Although the fact of the sale of the candles in this coun trY for the last six months is in itself a demonstration of the validity Of the patent, yet the Directors, before appealing to the public, took t he Precaution of consulting the first patent authority on this point, and they have been fully advised that the patents for Great Britain and the Colonies, securi'ig the peculiar process applicable to the Manufacture of these candles, do not interfere with any other patent, and are perfectly valid and subsisting.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg. —" Dr. Pickfor I is known to English'readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the nonmedi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperrna torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochwe' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublia Medical Press, April 28, 1852.

" Tho-e who complain most loudly are those only who know not how to use the common instruments geons has been mar :ed with all kiwis of violence, an indifference about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and all the excesses and horrors of surgery."—John Bell's Surgical Observations.—" In proaf of his views lie (Mr. Courtenay) has given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which ho had operated. Such are cases ix., xi., xii.. and xviii. No. ix. had resi.ted, for a period of twelve ye as, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed i❑ as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful." —Professor Lizars on the Treatment of Stricture.

THE COUNTRY MARKET& WAKEFIELD, Mar - 28.—During the week the country markets are reported very firm for wheat, with a tendency to advanced prices; this, with our short supply here to-day, causes more money .to be asked, but we can only note the trade slow at any improvement.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. ' ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, MAY 28.—There has been a moderate amount of sales of combing wools this week to supply the current wants o f t h e manufacturers, and prices iirefirrn at last week's rates. In clothing wools.there is not any . dhan4e. LIVERPOOL WOOL, MAY k7.—Fine wools are Much in quired for at advanced prices. Low wools steady at full rates. 1,500 bales East India, and 6,030 Buenos Ayres, will be sold 9th June. Imports the past week nil. YORK WooL, MAY 27.—The supply of wool at our market this day was short, not more than 40 to b 0 sheets having been shown. The small show may be attributed to the farmers who bold their clips at an advanced price, which the ;jobbers are pot willing to accede to, and the market ruled most deci dedly lower. _ _ TILE TRADE or LEEDS.—There has this week been rather more business done both in the cloth-halls and by direct deli veries off the 'market days. More dispositions is to purchase is evinced•in consequence of the advance obtained for wool at the present London sales, but no advance can be got on goods, and the maufacturers complain of want of remuneration. About an average amount of business has been done in the warehouses during the week by the home trade, and although business is much duller than usual amongst the shipping houses, some little improvement has, nevertheless, taken place during the last few weeks. • BRADFORD, MAY 27.—There was a larger amount of bu ness transacted than on the previous Thursday. An advance in price was attempted on pieces and yarns, but we have not heard that it was in any case obtained. If the position of spinners and manufacturers was difficult before, what must it be now that cotton warps and Australian wool have so decid edly advanced? If better prices cannot be obtained, looms must stand. _ TRADE OF MANCHESTER, MAY 27.—The continued excite ment in the Liverpool market, from renewed speculative put chases of cotton, consequenton the American advices on Mon day by the Niagara steamer, give but little hope of a steadier and more prudent course of action until the effect of later ad vices here has been felt en the other side, and buyers of yarns and of cloths have been rather more disposed to submit to the advance consequent on this state of affairs than they were-on Tuesday. Spinners have in some cases , obtained a slight acl vanee in price of yarns, although it was yielded with difficulty, and there has been a fair amount of business.

But if the Prince President has not, and never had, any idea of invading Belgium ' he certainly has sought to have the idea of making himself and France respected on the part of the Belgian Government, as of every other; and the next elections in eastern Flanders, in Hainault, and in the provinces of Liege and Limbourg, will considerably advance the question. The electors of these provinces, in choosing *their deputies, will have to consider whether , it auits them best to strengthen their commercial relations with France or to break them off. It will not come to an affair of cannon, but it certainly will be one of tariffs. Belgium has undoubtedly a right to retain her Ministers, but France has also an indis putable right to protect her markets. When favours are to be granted, a preference is not usually given to enemies." ---- RAILWAY RETURNS Miles opened, 1852. 21tITISH. Aberdeen ..... • . • • .....

Little would they have supposed that these could have been made from the com monest and most refuse fatty matter, however dark or coarse. Yet so it is. By the operation of certain gases, acting on this fatty matter, when in a state of saponification, stearic acid is pro duced of a white substance, almost like alabaster; this again is run into candles. They have been very largely sold in this country, to the extent of hundreds of tons; and although rival companies have insinuated that the candles could not be made, or, if made, not at the price, yet we are told that it has paid, and paid well, to import and sell them here and in the colonies, although charged with extra duty, freight, &c., equal to 20 per cent. To say that the French manufacturers would have the complaisance to import at a loss, and put a large profit in the agents' hands here, seems indeed absurd. However, it seems the directors of the company, bef ore appealing to the public, sent their engineer, Mr. Re ssen i er, to Paris, who fully inspecte d the works, and, coupled with the report of the commissi on appointed by the Soeiety f or the Encouragement of Indastery, in Paris, to inquire into the manufacture (proved by cl( n a l ri investigating the subject for four months), they felt a sa n t e lr d a of these points :—First, that the new process Pr° --- a pre larger quantity of stearic acid than any other known both cess ; secondly, that the quality was infinitely suPe est was in colour and transparency thirdly, that the , c , lastly, much less than by any other process ; and, were that the candles themselves not only cot less, but infinitely superior to any similar article before that the cost in addition to these points, ascertained h under that in cost of all the materials in England was Paris, and that altogether the manufacture., , __; as conducted more economically, they resolvetdare' la Pants for Bored themselves by competent authorityd n valid g good, to esta- Great Britain and the colonies were v vending them in this might be blish a company for manufactunng and 100,0001•, w ith power to . ta i o f 10v,,,, and report of country with a paid-up cap a pp eara nce the increase to 20 0,0';0/.

H e E of Rangoon has BURMESEopened WAR. dth A e Burmese ß. war The cap T tur with a brilliant feat of arms, and we shall be happy to learn that the irresistible f o r ce o f t h e British squadron on th e coas t, an d t h e f a ll o f ,the chief port of Burmab, has at orce e( nvinced the Court of Ava of the inexpedi ency of prolonging so unequal and so disastrous a conteat. But we cannot confidently entertain any such expects-. tion. From the time of year at which we are now ar rived, it is extremely doubtful whether these operations can be followed up with cif, et before the rainy season. It was not till the 25th of March that dispatches were re ceived by the flagship on the East Indian station, then ' lying at Penang, to direct the Admiral to proceed to the ; scene of action. The Indian Government appears till then to have relied on some illusory hope of arrange ment. On the 28th of March Admiral Austen sailed for Rangoon in the Rattler screw-steamer, but, to the grcat surprise and disappointment of the officers on the station, the Admiral thought proper to leave his flagship (the Hastings) at Penang, several hun dred miles from the theatre of war. In spite, therefore, of the laudable diligence displayed by the Indian dock yard.,, and especially at Bombay-, and the fact that a large steam squadron was assembled in the Gulf of Manahan early in the month of April, we aro by no means sure that there will be time enough to enable General Godwin to make a decisive advance into the interior. Rangoon has at once been taken, as was ex pected; but, situated as that plans is in the low and marshy delta, of the Irrawaddi, the lands about the city are completely flooded in the rainy season. Oa the outbreak of the last war Rangoon off, , red no serious reAstanee; but the Burmese Govern ment had contrived to remove the whole po pulation into the in'crior. Their other fortified positions, at Mr.:,endine and Donabevv, had still to tie carried, not without difficulty, and by separate expedi tions; and no affect whatever was produced on the Court of Ava until the invading army bad penetrated far into the interior. It is, therefore, by no means certain that the capture of Rangoon and the adjacent forts will now bring the enemy to terms; and, on the other hand, to hold these places during the rainy season is precisely the most trying and unwholesome pesition in which our army can be placed. At Prome, which is a considerable distance up the stream, the banks become higher and the climate more healthy. Sir A. Campbell's di • vision passed the rainy season there in the former cam paign without inconvenience.l h be observed that It may ere Rangoon is situated oneastern channel of the extreme and not on the principal strea m . Th e po i n t a t which this channel fo r k s off fromth e m a i n s t ream i s so s h a ll o w that the boat s o f the expedition could onld only be taken over it with difficulty; and i! would, therefore, not be passable for our steamers or s or principal strea m o ff ers muc tPs-of-war. The middle vigation, and we ha ve reason t greater f ac ili t i es f or na o line-of battle ship of the size o f t h e Efagcing believe that a channel for a considerabl e distanceif inig4t ascend that aha unaccountably left by the Ad m i ral atPe had not been nang. The western channel by Bastein was found to be far too shallow even for the boats of the squadron. The most calamitous part of the campaign of 1825 wa the attempt to march the division com man d ed b Ge neral y Morrison into the Burmese territory from the Chi- Chit tagong frontier. The passage of the mountains which separate Arracan from Burmah was believed to b e im practicable, and the army was compelled to remain in the pestilential flats until it was disorganized and w e ll nigh destroyed by disease. Hence an opinion has arisen that the line of the Irrawaddi is the only practicable mode of invading the Burman empire. But on this point an im portant discovery was made just after the conclusion of the peace, which left the province of Arracan in our hands. It was ascertained that a road of unusual excellence had been constructed by the Burmese themselves in 1816 from a place called Sembwghewn, situated on the Irrawaddi, some 300 miles from its mouth, to Aeng, in Arracan, now a British posses sion. Captaint Trent was accordingly sent by Sir A. Campbell with a battalion of Sepoys and the elephants of the army to explore this road, which he found in excellent condition, and much frequented by the natives for purposes of trade. The whole distance from the Irrawaddi to Aeng is only 124 miles, and this march was accomplished by the detachment with the elephants in eleven days. If General Morrison bad known of the existence of this road his division would have been en abled to join the main army on its march up the,river, and he might have arrived to take part in the battle of Psgahm-mew, which terminated the war. The present ruling race in Burmah poured down some eighty years ago from the mountains of Thibet upon the comparatively feeble and defenceless kingdoms of Pegu, Arracan, and Manahan, and they continue to bold the previous inhabitants of the soil in close sub jection. Their conquest of this territory was, indeed, not entirely dissimilar from the Mogul conquest of Hin dostan, and on both shores of the Bay of Bengal we find a people smarting under a foreign yoke which it seems our own strange destiny to impose on their masters. Bat, in truth, the monuments still existing of the former grandeur of the Pep empire attest the progressive decline of the country. From the arrogant tone lately assumed by the Court of Ave there can be hide doubt that preparations for this war have been made on a vast scale. The Burmese are no longer ignorant, as they were in 1825, of the power of the enemy they have rashly provoked; though they may well be unprepared for the enormous increase of the military and naval poster of civilivA nationr, which has taken place since that period. The force now brought against them inns! prove irresistible, if its operations are conducted with energy, and aCapted to the seasons in that country. But in spite of the success which has already crowned our arms by the capture of Rangoon, it may be well to rcme•mber that we have to deal with a cratty enemy and a deng, rous country, and that in the campaign of 1825 the mibtalits occasioned by want of attention to thc , peculiar climate of this region were far more fatal to our !rf - .ops than all the stockades and gingats of the Burmese.—Times.
