L ADIES, during the heat and dust of Summer, will find ROWLAND'S KALYDOR a most refreshing pre paration for the complexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and re laxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately afford ing the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and healthful state of the skin. Composed of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free from all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful in its effects, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR tends to neutralise the action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to promote that healthy action of the microscopic vessels, by which its general well. being and the beauty of its appearance are so essentially promoted. Freckles, tan, spots, pimples, flushes, and discoloraticus, fly before its application, and give place to delicate smoothness, and the glow of beauty and of bloom. In cases of sun-burn, or stings of insects, its virtues Imre long been acknowledged. Beware of spurious " Kalydors" for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is imperative on purchasers to see that the words. " Rowland's Kalydor" are on tile wrapper, and " A. ROWLAND & SON, 20, llatton-garden;" also engraved (by desire of the Hon.

The history, genealogical, and otherwise of this gen tleman, cannot fail to be interesting to the public at the present moment. He was born at Dromoland, county of Clare, on the 17th of October, 1803, being the second son of Sir Edward O'Brien, fourth baronet (who died in 1837), by the daughter and coheiress of William Smith, Esq., of Cahirmoyle, county of Limerick. The latter lady was a very rich heiress. The issue of this marriage, in addition to the subject of our notice, con sisted of eight other children, including Sir Lucius, the eldest son; Edward, born in 1806, and married to the daughter of Massy Dawson, Esq., late M.P., a scion of the noble house of Cremorne; Robert, born in 1809, married to the daughter of Sir Aubrey de Vere; the Rev. H. O'Brien, married to the daughter of John Godley, Esq. ; Grace, unmarried ; Aune, married to the Rev. Arthur Martineau ; Harriett, married to the Rev. Charles Monsell, a relative of Mr. Monsell, M.P., the colleague of Mr. Smith O'Brien, in the representation of Limerick county ; and Katherine Lucia, married to the Hon. and Rev. Amyard Harris, brother of the Earl of Malineshury, one of the Prebendaries of Salisbury, and Rector of Wilton. The present head of the house of O'Brien, or O'Bryen, is the Marquis of Thomond, who adopts the latter form of orthography, and ho deduces his descent from the royal lino of Thomond, a race of princes which sprang from the celebrated Hibernian monarch, Brian l3orroime, or Boru, who commenced his reign in 1002, and terminated it with his life, near Clon turf, i❑ 1014. Should the present Marquis die without male issue, a circumstance not improbable, Sir Lucius O'Brien will succeed him as Baron Luchiquin ; but not to the higher titles, which will become extinct. In reference to the existence of these titles, we may observe that in 1543, Murrogh O'Brien, the then head of the house, repaired to England, and resigned his sovereignty to Edward VI., and was in recompense created Earl of Thotnond for life, and Baron Luchiquin. The second holder of the baronetcy, Sir Edward O'Brien, was son of the Right Hon. Lucius O'Brien, who died during the lifetime of his father, by Catherine, daughter of Thomas Keightley Esq., of Harlington', county of Herts, granddaughter of the first Earl of Clarendon, and first cousin of Queens Mary and - Anne. In the latter points the records of the several families agree, Mr. O'Brien married about twelve years since the daughter of Joseph Gabbett, Esq., of Limerick, by whom he has had issue either six or seven children. Mr. O'Brien is a graduate of Trinity College, Cam bridge ; when first returned for the family borough of Ennis, in 1830 Mr. O'Brien was a Tory, and as such opposed Mr. O'Connell in the case of the memorable Clare election. He subsequently became a Whig, then a Radical, and in 1843 he first joined the Repeal ranks. Since 1835 he has represented the county of Limerick. On the last occasion he succeeded in defeating Mr. Caleb Powell, the Old Ireland candidate, by 24 votes. Mr. O'Brien fought a duel with the late Mr. Thomas Steele, having exchanged two shots with that gentleman. Sir Lucius O'Brien, elder brother, is Lord Lieutenant of the county of Clare. The Dowager Lady O'Brien is still living, and possesses a property of about 5,000/. per annum, to which her second son was always considered to be the heir, but in other respects than as heir in prospect, Mr. O'Brien never was wealthy, He has, when in Ireland, taken up his residence at the seat of his mother. LIABILITY OF ARTICLED CLERKS TO SERVE AS JURYMEN.—In the Sheriffs' Court, amongst the excuses made for not serving on the jury, ono was by a gentle man, an articled clerk to an attorney, who contended that, as such, he was exempt. The Under-Sheriff said it was a novel objection, but not well founded. If the gentleman was of full age he must serve.

NEWCASTLE SCHOOL of DESIGN. (From the Advertiser.) When the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a short time ago th a t, b y making some unimportant de ductions in the nati ona l expend i ture , h e had no doubt that he would co n t r i ve to manage w i t h ou t the threatened increase of the i ncome - tax, we felt, in common, with many others, som e cur i os i ty to l earn in what depart ment of the public rervico the reductions were to be made. Our readers may probably remember that we took occasion to refer to certain hereditary pensions granted by Charles the Second to his illegitimate pro geny ; and to other pensions granted by Queen Anne and William the Third to their well-paid generals, which we considered might be compounded for with great ad vantage to us taxpayers, and without injury to the na tional credit. The pensions of the Duke of Rich mond, the Duke of Marlborough, the heirs of the Duke of Schomberg, with the salaries attached to hereditary offices —the very existence of which is bringing royalty into contempt—appeared to us to supply a ready tund for the making up,of any deficiency in the Exchequer. With Thrones tumbling around her, we expected that our G racious Queen wou ld h ave b een advised, by a p ro fe sse dl y Liberal Min i stry, to a b o li s h sinecure offices abo u t h er C ourt, the very names of which could only recal to th e m i nds of her l oya l subjects the tyranny and sla ver y o f the middle ages. W e ex p ec t e d w find in the L on d on G azette the announcement o f th e extinction of such tax- eaters as Gran d F a l coners , Masters of the Buckhounds, Gold Sticks, Silver Sticks, and various other remnants of feudal sovereignty. Wo anticipated, also, a red uc ti on i n t h e number of Fi e ld-Marshals, of Generals, and,, above all, of Colonels who never see their regime n t s . There was, in truth, no lack of useless offices out of whi c h the Ch ance ll o r of the Ex chequer might ma k e up any deficiency in the Taxes. .But it appears th at Ministers deeme d i t ,not un worthy of their positi on to spite the peop l e f ur res i st i ng the increase of the income-tax, by making reductions in the trifling sums set apart for their improvement. The hereditary pensions were respected..-but not so the grants to popular institutions. An instanbe of this, incredible for its menu paltrincsa, is annottnced in the last number of the Gateshead Observer. In 1843, Mr. Hutt, M.P. for. Gateshead, so successfully supported a memorial to the ,Treasury, that he suceeeded in obtaining from the Board of Trade 1501. a year for the establishment of a School of Design at Newcastle, which School was opened in January, 1844. Hitherto this school has been eminently first year exc ee d e d seventy-seven, successful. Th e average number of students for t h e since which they have consid era bl y i ncreased. As this school was established for t h e b ene fi t o f the industrious classes in works of d es i gn , nearly all the higher trades availed thems e l ves o f it ; and this year the result has been shown in the opening of such a Polytecheie Exhi bition in Newcastle as has rarely been seen out 0r .. . 1 . 4) n . don or Edinburgh. The students at present number toe:" hundred and four, including among them glass painters, house painters, coach painters, copperplate and wood engravers, pattern makers, earthenware manufacturers, engineers, architects, cabinet-makert, and almost every trade to the perfection of which beauty of design can be made subservient. The master of this school, Mr. W. B. Scott, brother of Mr. David Scott, Edinburgh, is himself a painter and a poet, as well as a good draughts man, and passionately devoted to the advancement of art. Now, with these facts before them, what will our readers say when we inform them that the first step in economy taken by the Government has been manifested in the withholding of this paltry grant of 1501. a year from the Newcastle School of Design? Of course, it is well known to the Govern went that such a saving, if persevered in, must close the school altogether. It is only among a people pas sionately devoted to art that a School of Design can be maintained without support -from some fund set apart for-the purpose. "Pampered indolence," says the Gateshead Observer, " retains its bold of the public purse—the modest pittance of a laborious artist who devotes his days and nights to the refinement and eleva tion of individuals and of society is rudely withheld. The residence in a commercial community of a gentle. man like Mr. W. B. Scott, in the character of a Go vernment teacher of art, and connected with the Central School of Design, is an advantage to a populous district not to be over -rated." We aro glad to find this opinion not confined to the editor of a local paper. The mayor, the sheriff, the magistracy, and the leading inhabitants of New castle have memorialised the President of the Board of Trade to continue the grant to this school; and Mr. Hutt, with his accustomed zeal in every good cause, is praiseworthily exerting himself to save this popular in stitution from destruction. The memorialists, 140 in number, including the principal inhabitants of Newcas tle, state it as their " firm belief" that the abandon ment of the School of Design by the Government will materially injure the prosperity of the place, " by de stroying an institution which is most active in improving the industrial capabilities of the operative classes, and also by withdrawing from manufactures and master tradesmen the opportunity and means of enhancing the character of their productions." We cannot believe that such a representation, corning from such a quarter, and supported by Mr. Hutt, will prove unavailing. We should be glad to know that, in making any represeuta tion against the proposed conduct of the Government, Mr. Hutt was supported by the influence of the Members for this borough. But it is less the individual case than the principle hero proposed to be acted upon that fills us with indig nation as we contemplate this miserable attempt at economy. Why should the pruning knife be first ap plied to schools? Why i s th e pension list spared? The hypocrisy of a saving which looks only to the per petuation of national ignoranc e w hile it overlooks the any Ministry. N or . are enormity of a her e dit ary pension list, is disgraceful to thepeople such dolts as not to *perceive this ; n or so indifferent to the insult offered to their understandi ng as not to rseent it, and very d eep l y too. They see th at t h ey. are mocked instea d o f b eing relieved; and the wrong rankles the deeper b ecause they have no means of r esent i ng i t. W e h ave not too many schoolmasters; but we would not suffer in the least by the extinction of a score of Admirals, twice as many Generals, thrice as many Colonels, six out of eleven of our Field-Marshals, and the whole of our hereditary Grand Falconers, Forest-Rangers, Park keepers, Kennel-governors, and Royal Wardrobe, Kit chen, Pantry, Cellar, and Stable dignitaries. But, should the Government persist in making the reductions in such establishments as the School of Design at New castle, we know very well what the result will be. The least reflecting will soon arrive at the conclusion, that in the eyes of Ministers of State the cultivation of the minds of their children is of less importance than the maintenance of such a relic of feudal barbarism as the sinecure office of Grand Falconer. What will be the gain to royalty of such a reflection? Will the senti ment of loyalty be thereby more deeply engraven on the national heart? Will the sound of the National An them be heard more frequently in the villages at sunset? Far otherwise. Such mock pretences to national economy as the above will fill the public mind with indignation, and prepare it for the reception of the doctrines of a class of teachers very different from such gentle, and such soul-inspiring enthusiasts as Mr. W. B. Scott. The fierce advocates of revolutionary principles will find in such an exhibition of Ministerial economy the most conclusive aemonstration of the seeming truthfulness of their evil teaching. They can point to the estimates as showing more money spent annually in repairing royal palaces, in ranging over royal park s , an d k e eping up sinecu re offices, than in educating thi r ty m illi o ns of people. W e demand economy, and -are answered by the exhibition of a saving which savours more of shrewish trickery than of enlightened statesmanship. The people refuse to in dulge the Government in a course of ruinous extrava gance, and Ministers condescend to the littleness of reta liating by a pitiful local annoyance! This is not the way to govern England in the nineteenth century.

THE JOB AND . POST-MASTERS, COACH PROPRIETORS, HORSE DEALEIN, AND LIVERY-STABLE KEEPERS' (OF ENG- LAND) PROVIDENT FUND. The sixth annual meeting of this society took place at Messrs. Tattersall's last evening ; Mr. Wm. Dickinson in the Chair. The CHAIRDIAN, after baying briefly opened the busi ness of the evening, called upon the secretary to read the report of the directors. The SECRETARY (Mr. W. T. Clarke) proceeded to read the report, and the audited account of the receipts and payments of the society from the Ist of July, 18 t 7, to the 30th June, 1848, from which it appeared that ~n the Ist July, 1848, the society's investments in Consols amounted to 7,5911. ss. 6d., and that there was a cash balance of 3541. 14s. Sd. in the hands of the treasurer. The.Cffiunmerr having asked if any gentleman prr sent had any questions to put, and none being asked, Mr. MALLALUE moved the adoption of the report, and expressed his great satisfaction at the success of the society. Mr. TATTERSALL seconded the resolution, and took that opportunity of stating how much the society was indebted to the secretary for his exertions in its behalf. The report was then received and adopted, and ordered - - to be printed. Three of the retiring directors were then re-elected and Mr. Dickinson elected a director in the room of Mr, Dyson. Mr. MALLALUE then rose, and said he was pleased to find, Mr. • Dickinson had assented to return to the ma nagement, for he had been its monthly and general nurse, and.under whose good treatment and careful dis cretion it had surprised every one. Mr. DICKINSON said he did not think he deserved so much as had been said of him; but as he had been asked to give his services again, be readily assented. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to Mr. Tattersall, as treasurer, and to the directors, and a suit able eulogy was passed on Mr. Tattersall for the great benefits which he had conferred upon the society , and his evinced anxiety to promote its prosperity. Mr. TATTERSALL returned thanks, and said he was. glad to see the institution had prospered as it had - done, and that now there was no doubt of its increasing prosperity, and he hoped to live to see it do so. A vote of thanks having been awarded to the se cretary, The SECRETARY rose and said, he felt the deepest interest in the society from the time he took on himself the duties of his office ; he had at all times exerted him 'self with pleasure, but that all his exertions would have been worth nothing without the kind assistance which he had always received from the directors. Those gen tlemen had been most constant in their attendance on every board day, and very much was due to those gen. tlemen who gave up their time for the good of the in stitution, and the zeal manifested by them for its in ti ceased prosperity land usefulness ; and after pointing out ,the advantages of publicity, and each member ex- . ertin i zmself in its behalf, ho concluded by stating that they si, knew it must be a great gratification to t ,:a.t they were satisfied with his e xert i, n E. .e ed, not without some succe ss , for the interests of institution, and he should utmost for the institution.

Sales 6,000 bales. American realised • 34d to s:id per lb.. Railway Shares were done at better prices, and closed well. A further advance seemed to be expected. The Soho packet, from Antwerp. has brought over a large cargo of fruit. The quays were stated to have been crowded with baskets ready for shipment. There was also wheat on board, and a quantity of windosi glass. Several Austrian officers were among the pas seugers. The Brazil mail brings no intelligence of a very re assuring character. Trade was excessively dull, and the political troubles in Europe had encouraged some of the turbulent spirit& in Pernambuco to manifest renewed symptoms of disaffection. In the river Plate matters remained much as before, but often as we have been deceived in the hope that peace would be brought about through the intervention of England and France, we cannot help regarding the prospect, at the date of our accounts, as being much more favourable. The Monte Videans will be compelled to acquiesce in the reasonable proposals made to them. The blockade of Buenos Ayres had lasted up to May 6, no less than 956 days, and we may easily imagine how the foreign merchants must have suffered. The house connected with the Mediterranean and Spanish trades, to which we alluded yesterday, has not yet, as far as we can learn, made any arrangement to meet its bills up to the present time. The weather is looked to with some anxiety and doubting to-day, but the rebellion in Ireland being now concluded, the Bears, who operated largely upon the presumption that a serious conflict would ensue, are buying back their Accounts.

COVE of Coax, JULY 27.—Her Majesty's ship Pilt3l, -1611ms ' Commander Lyons, was sent yesterday, by Sir Charles Napier, to Bantry Bay, to protect the interests of the loyal residents in that neighbourhood. All the marines of the Irish squadron are preparing to go on board a merchant steamer (none of her 111n jesty's being. at hand) to take them to Waterford, where the rebellious outbreak is expected. The want of steamers is greatly felt. The Blenheim (steam guard ship) of 55 guns, Captain Chads, C. 8., is ready to start; as is the Prince Regent, of 90 guns, Captain W. F. Martin. Her Majesty's ship Helena, 16 guns, Captain Smith, sailed this evening from Cove for Waterford. JULY 28.—1 n consequence of no steam vessel being here the marines of the squadron were at three o'clock this morning put on board the Blenheim screw ship, of i e 55 guns, ready to start for Waterford. Her M a j esty ' s steame r light; whenAlba t n h , e h m o however, happened h o a i pp th e e ne s d t. to v come nt, in 120 at guns,de Prince Regent, 92, and marine artillery from the Blen heim, were shipped on board her, and she started at nine o'clock for Waterford. The Virago and Dragon steam frigates, the latter commanded pro tern. by Captain the Honourable G. F. Hastings, who recently brought the Endymion frigate to .England from the West Indies, remained at Portsmouth yesterday; they were at anchor at Spithead, but in every way prepared for sea at a moment's notice. The Dragon was under sailing orders for Kingstown, Dub lin, to leave this morning with a body of Coast Guard men, &c. DitwoNrouT, SATrtitiZA.Y.—The Adventure transport sailed this afternoon with stPre B and provisions for Sir C. Napier's squadron. SIINDAY.—The Birkenhead steamer came in last night from Portsmouth, and embarks this afternoon nine cap-_ tains, nine subalterns, and 241 men of the Royal Ma rines, from this division, for Cork. MURDER NEAR P4NRITH. PENRITII, JULY 30.—About nine o'clock on Friday evening last, the inhabitants of this town were alarmed by a young man gallopping into the town for the police to take in charge Joseph Todd, gamekeeper to Captain Youngson, of Bowscar, on Penrith Fell, who he repre sented had murdered Mr. Joseph Jackson, one of Cap tain Youngson's farmers, by shooting him thtough the heart. Mr. Martindale Scott, the high-constable, and assistants, immediately set off in a conveyance to Bow scar; on their arrival there found the young man's re presentation to be correct, for they found Mr. Jackson dead, and the murderer lying in the farmyard with his hands and legs tied with ropes, and shortly afterwards removed him to the House of Correction at Penrith. It appeared that on the former part of Friday some angry words had passed between Todd and Mary Dobson, the housekeeper (Captain Youngson, his mother, and family being from home) respecting a circumstance which no doubt will come out on the trial of the mur derer. Todd then left the house and went to Plump ton, where he remained until evening, and on his return to Bowscar he found Mary Dobson in Mr. Jackson's house, when he immediately seized her by a:. throat and threw her upon the floor, and no doubt would have strangled her, had not Mrs. Jackson and one of her daughters rescued her from his grasp. The cries of Mary Dobson, Mrs. Jackson, and her family, were so great that Mr. Jackson, who was on another part of the premises, was attracted to his dwelling, and on ascertaining the cause he went up the flight of steps which leads to the entrance of his dwelling, where he met Todd with a double-barrelled gun in his hands. Mr. Jackson endeavoured by every possible means to pacify him and prevent him coming out after Miss Dobson ; and, at last Todd, seeing that Mr. Jackson would not let him out of the house, raised his gun, and shot him through the heart ; Mr. Jackson leapt a considerable height, and instantly dropped down dead in the presence of his wife and family. The cries of Mrs. Jackson and her distracted family were so alarming and loud that Mr. Collin, a neighbouring farmer, heard them, and with his son repaired with all haste to the spot, and found Mr. Jackson lying dead at the foot of the steps into the farmyard, and his distracted wife and family weeping over him. The murderer, whom Mr. Collin and his son sec tired by tying his hands and feet with cords, was a spectator of the melancholy scene. CITY IMPROYEMENTS.—Last evening, the thorough fare of liolborn-hill baring been widened forty feet, and the declivity reduced three feet, at a cost to the Corporatien of London of 26,0001., was re-opened to the public. Mr. Perfect paired off in favour of ➢lr. Sharman Crawford's motion with Colonel Ferguson, on Saturday last. FIRE ON BOARD A VESSEL IN THE BRISTOL DOCKS. —.Two LIVES MONDAY.—Between one and two o'clock this morning the citizens were aroused by an alarm that a vessel was on fire in the Bathurst Basin, Bristol. The fire was discovered issuing from a sloop named the Neptune, which arrived in the docks last night from Veriport, having on board nearly five tons weight of charcoal, .and a miscellaneous cargo. The captain was on shore, but : h e ma t e and a youth (the captain's nephew) were asleep i n L t ‘o Cabin, and a porter hired to unload the vessel was aslecr in the forecastle. The mate being awoke by a fit of couge;.7, and a fu s l e i ns o e f of suffocation, discovered that the cabin was full and apprehending that the vessel was on fire, 2 30 tried to arouse his companion, but could not; he then rushed upon the deck, gate the alarm, and received almost instantaneous assistance from the police, and they, on removing the hatches, discovered that the charcoal had spontaneously ignited. 'They then proceeded to the cabin and brought up the body of the youth, who was, however, quite dead, as was also the unfortunate porter in the forecastle. By the prompt arrival of the engines, &c., the fire was speedily extinguished. THE OLD CLOISTERS AT WESTMINSTER.—The re rnoval of the lath end plaster rubbish which has long ► n cambered tl►e old cloisters on the east side of West minster Hall, has let in the light on their great end manifold beauties. The minute and elegant sculptured decorations which are carried web-like over tho whole surface, make the so-called excess of decoration On the new parts appear positive plainness by comparison. The little chapel offers many points deserving of study. In the courso of the operations, some of the old Norman work forming the sides of the hall has become exposed: it shows two semi-circular headed windows, with a hatched string-course underneath. The object of the clearance is to effect the communication betwee❑ the new Houses and Westminster Hall,—Builder. BANKRUPTCY.—There is a pin in the House of Commons, containing 811 clauses, to consolidate the law of Bankruptcy, and to restore in certain cases the power of arrest on ntesne process, The Bill was introduced by Mr, Bouverie. • ...,, - __;t. &.

DISEASE IN GRAPES.—A disease, almost universal, has this year seized upon the hot-house grape, a descrip tion of fruit which Liebeg and other naturalists consi dered almost free from disease of any kind. is No one seems to know how it originates, nor whether i t en demic or epidemic, though the gardeners think i t is something in the air which causes the destruction. The grape, we understand, has been attacked in every stage; sometimes when it is not larger than a sweet p ea, and sometimes when it has arrived at maturity, and i n every stage between these points. The first sign, wh ich ap pears suddenly, is a kind of damp bloom which comes over the grape, which then withers, decays, and finally rots.—Brighton Herald.
