The high and universal celebrity which ROWLAND S' KALYDOR continues to maintain as an active, yet mild and soothing ex tirpator of all impurities of the skin, is during the period of spring, most pleasingly evinced. This preparation, eminently balsamic, restorative, arid invigorating, is equally distinguished for safety in application, as for unfailing efficacy in eradicating all redness, tan, pimples, spots, freckles, discolourations, and other cutaneous visita tions. The radiant bloom it imparts to the cheek, and the softness and delicacy which it induces in the hands and arms, render it indis pensable to every toilet. Gentlemen, after shaving, will Ind it allay all irritation and ten derness of the skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant. Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclus ve selection by her Majesty the Queen. the Court, and the Itoyal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe. *.* Beware of spurious " KALYDOR," for sale, containing Mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellent action endangering health. The words " ROWLANDS' KALYDOR" are on the wrapper of the genuine article. Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. bottle. Sold by A. ROWLAND and SONS, 20, Hatton-garden, London, and by Chemists and perfumers. FINANCIAL REFORM. REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE. Iti our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the t erm, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected th e f o ll ow i ng ou tli ne of our navel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated Purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from tile manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon ^ riginal cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain 11 ;tires, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as have bean seldom. if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item " Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief Price list will testify to some extent : READY MADE. s. d.

ALEXIS SOYER and CO., sole Proprietors, caution the Public that none is genuine but what is stamped with the name of " SOYER and CO., 40, Rupert-street," on the side of the Cork, easily read through the neck of the bottle, to counterfeit which is felony. THE BEST APERIENT and ANTIBILIOUS 3IEDICINE for general use is FRAMPTON'S PILL OF lIEALTII, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by gentle relaxation, without griping or pr,,stration of strength. They remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are hijily grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, re lieve langour and depression of spirits ; while to those of full habit; and free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heavi ness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will not fail to be appreciated. This medicine° has for many years received the approval of the most respectable classes of society ; and in confirmation of its effi cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout, with permission to publish it, and if requisite, to refer any respect able person to its author : " To Mr. Front, 229, Strand, London.

She has recetnmended them extensively, and in one instance in which site induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they hive proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medi cines before the public of equal value as a ' friend in need ;' certainly none possessed of superior claims.

My opinion of 3tos2s' is this, That their warehouse has nothing amiss; For many a year have I tried The garments by Moses' supplied, And finding how business is dune, I can rezommend Moses ntui Son. I've a bill on my file you must know, Which is dated Just twelve years sic), When first I was tempted to try The garments of Moses' supply, And ever since then I've been ono To support Messrs. Moses and Son; For during the whole of the term, Not a fault have I seen in the firm. The various promises made Have a I been fulfilled in their trade, And the more I have known of the mart, • The more have I acted my part. In furnishing stylish attire, Messrs. Moses are all I desire; And I've equally found them outdo, In make and material too. These praises will also apply To the hoots and the shoes that you buy; Nor can I say less of the shop, With prime Paris hats for the top ; And the hosiery shows what the trade is, And the beautiful shawls for the ladies; There's nothing, in fact, that you buy, But ranks the proprietors high. The whole of the houses, as one, Do credit to Moses and ion. Then look at what savings are made By the very low price that is paid. The strictest economy here Is constantly found to appear. In all things the warehouse discloses What scarcely a stranger supposes, And that's my opinion of Moses. LIST OF PRICES. SEAMY MADE.

BIRMINGHAM, MAY 17.—At Gloucester and Worcester mar kets, on the 12th, the wheat trade ruled dull, with the turn in faiour of the buyer, but at no quotable variation from that day se'nnight. The supply of English wheat was short. In barley rather more doing. Oats 41 to Is per quarter higher. English beans scarce, and foreign were held for some advance. Peas neglected. During the present week we have had a fair business doing in wheat at fully the rates previously obtain able. Barley only taken in retail. Very few oats offering, and these held for is per quarter more money. Beans sd per quarter higher, but this latter rise is submitted to with reluctance on all except fine qualities. No transactions re ported in peas. At this day's market the supply of English wheat was again limited, and an improvement of about Is per quarter was realised on fine qualities, whilst secondary descriptions and foreign sold more freely. Very few sales were effected in barley. Oats Is per quarter higher. Eng lish beans sold at a similar rise, and on foreign the turn was in favour of the seller. Peas without inquiry. Gt..% scow, IllAy 16.—We continue to have light supplies from all quarters. About 650 quarters of wheat, 585 quarters of barley, 60 quarters of peas, and 1,970 sacks of deur reached Grangemouth from abroad. A moderate business occurred during the week at the currencies of last Wednesday. 'f his day's market was thinly attended.

Oats and oatmeal have to be be written 6d to Is higher per boll and load respectively. Beans tid dearer per boll ; peas held at the extreme rates of this day se'nnight. Indian corn and meal unaltered. 13as3irot..

COURT OF COMMON COUN'2IL Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN THE RIVER THAMES A report was brought up from the Thames Navigation and Port of London Committee for sealing a deed relative to laying down the electric telegraph in the river Thames. It stated that the committee had tak , n int.) consideration the applica tion of Messrs. - Blunt, civil engineers, for permission to lay down an electric telegraph in the river Thames to communicate with a coast line telegraph. That as the committee are of opinion the proposal for laying down the lines was of public and national importance Ulu were disinclined to prohibit or embarrass the undertaking, and therefore did not object to its being carried into effect, but did not authorize it so as to in cur any respons ibi l i ty, l eav i ng Messrs. Blunt to lay d own li nes at t h e i r own risk, they undertakin g t o d o no damage e i t h er to th e public or to individu a l s , rn d required so t o d o, and to remove any wor k that shall be fou n d injurious. to stop all further works when The report was agreed to, and the City seal was set to the co n diti ons prescribed by the City Solicitor. THE ELECTION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The report of the Freedom Committee was brought up, together with the Election Act Amendment Bill, which the Court was upwards of five hours occupied in discussing. The Bill was ultimately agreed to. Several amendments were proposed, but the only one of importance carried was, " That the qualification for a candidate for the office o f a co mmon councilman be the same is that of a n elector. " I t i s ca l cu l a t e d that the adoption of such a principle will very much improve the quality of the Court. NAVAL ' LLIGENCE. NM PORTSMOUTH, Tau R M AI% —The naval force at present disposable for service i n C ana d a cons i sts o f : The Cherokee steam ve sse l, 7 50 tone, mounting two 68-pounders, and carryi ng 1 li eutenant, 1 assis tant-surgeon, 1 clerk, and 25 men an d other officers; The Mohawk, 175 tons, Penetangui s hi ne , mounting two 18-pounders, and carrying 1 lieutenant, 1 assis tant-surgeon, 1 clerk, and 25 men and officers; And the Minos, 450 tons, Port Color ne , Lak Erie (laid up), mounting two 24-pounders, and carrying 1 gunner and three men. In the dockyard at Kingston are large quantities of valuable machinery, stores, gunboat s , an d a bar rack capable of accommodating from 600 to 800 men, the whole in charge of an acting storekeeper an d hi s clerk. This force (including artificers, engineers, stokers, and seamen, amounting to about 60 indi viduals) was reduced to its present state in 1843, and is intended, we presume, to form a nucleus for any increase which circumstances might render necessary. The idea suggested by a contemporary of sending a battalion of marines to that country is a goo d one ; it is very difficult to obtain, and still more difficult to keep, seamen on those waters. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander James Raw storne, arrived last evening after sunset fr om Gibraltar. She is to come into the harbour as soon as the weather moderates. The Grecian, 16, Commander Tindal, sailed early this morning, to proceed to Plymouth to be paid off. As the wind has been strong from south and south west ever since she sailed, she cannot have got through the Needles, but must have come to in Yarmouth-roads. It is a somewhat curious item of steam-vessel sta tistics, at a period when test upon test as to the merits of paddle and screw are being tried, that all the screw vessels upon the home station belongin g to the navy are on the " sick list." The steam-tug seized yesterday on suspicion of be ing employed in smugglinglso half• ankers of foreign spirits was named the Royal Charter, not the Peter Rolt although the property o f the g entleman of that name. ' She had been taken by the men apprehended in her without the knowledge of the superintendent of Rolt's works. Another magnificent structure of masonry has been added to those which already adorn this dockyard. This is a newly completed ship-dock opening into the steam basin at the entrance to the steam factory, the work also of Mr. Peter colt. The dock has been finished and clean swept within the past week, and will be ready for use on the caisson being fitted. The dimensions of this dock are as follow :—Length on the coping, 300 feet; width ditto, 90 feet; length on the bottom of the dock, 260 feet; width ditto, BS feet. The structure is faced with the finest stone; it is the largest dock yet constructed, and will conse quently be able to take in the largest ship of modern build afloat. Wind—S.W., fresh gales and hazy weather. WooLwicu, MAY 17.—The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, was taken out of dock yesterday morning at halt-past eight o'clock, the bolt havirg been got out of one of Kingston's valves, into which it had fallen. Commodore Henry Eden, on receiving orders on the previous day to have the Stromboli taken into dock to be made ready for sea with the least upon her, and th e y wor k ed in relays d ur i ng t h e w h o l e possibl e d e l ay, h a d wor k men pla c ed night, to enable her to be taken out at an early hour in the morning, at high water, and the gallant Com modore, in order to expedite her departure fur Green hithe, gave instructions that the Monkey steam•vessel should take her is tow, and that she should also set her own sails while her steam was getting up, during her progress down the river. By these excellent ar rangements it was expected she would reach Green• hithe, and he able to leave that place with the North Star in tow for the North Sea, about twelve o'clock yesterday, cne day earlier than was expected when it was ascertained that the Stromboli would have to be taken into dock at Woolwich. The Gladiator steam-frigate left Woolwich yester day afternoon for Devonport and Pembroke, under the charge of Mr. Laen.

SBIZURE or AN ILLICIT DisTILLEEL—Y e s terd ay, fr,)ns information received, Mr. John Worrall, Mr. John Canning, and Mr. Thomas Cressfield, officers of Inland Revenue, proceeded to a house, No. 4, Smith's place, Hackney-road, and, having g a i ne d admission, in a back room they found a large copper still, set in brickwork, in full operation, with spirit running from the worm at the time. A large quantity of spirits prepared for send ing out was also found on the premises, of a very un usually high strength, being GO per cent. over proof, and molasses wash fermenting for the purpose of continuing the operation. Besides these articles, there were the usual fittings and apparatus used in illicit distillation, and capable of carrying on an extensive trade. A van was procured, and the seizure was conveyed to the Inland Revenue warehouse in Hord-street...

THE SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The May meeting of the members of this society, and of the competitors for the prizes awarded by the judges, took place yesterday in the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The meeting was a numerous one, and the specimens exhibittd of flowers were of a first-rate character ; perhaps, better than at any previous show of the society. he roses were particularly fine, both in the colours of the flowers and the sire of them. The pelargoniums were also of the highest class. A great number of medals were awarded. The winner of the large gold Victoria medal, for the best collection of miscellaneous plants, was Mr. Cole ; of the gold Adelaide medal, Mr. Bruce.

LITERATURE. THE SEA LIONS;;7HEI:6ST SEALERS. By J. F. Co: per. 3 Vols. A nautical romance, by the author of the " Red Rover" and the " Pilot," will be warmly welcomed by a vast majority of readers. Mr. Cooper has of late years wandered so far into the labyrinthine mazes of the America's forest, that his sailor friends had cause to fear that he had for ever abandoned the blue waters. Still the change was not generally re gretted. The forest scenes and characters were so vigorously, and yet 1;0 simply described in his pages, that the denizens of London were fur the time trans ported into " Some wild Savannah where man had never beer," as effectually as Mr. Banvard can transport them to the banks of the Mississippi. Change of scene is as beneficial to the mental as it is to the bodily energies and for this very refreshing and delightful change the readers of modern fashionable novels and political pamphlets were greatly indebted to Mr. Cooper. We listened with interest while he narrated to us the history of " Satanstoe," we learned with pleased curiosity the mysteries of " chain-bearing," with de• light and wonder we followed on the footsteps, and watched the marvellous cunning,of the " Bee-hunter" as he led us through the " oak-openings" in pursuit of the honey-makers, and now leaving fur awhile (only for awhile, for Mr. Cooper cannot long remain absent from that beloved spot) the forest-scene, we gladly embark in the " Sea Lion," and set sail for some islands as mysterious almost as the unknown region of Mardi. In order to give an inkling of the nature of this romance, be it observed that a dying sailor has made known to a very avaricious man the existence of some seal-islands, where the fish are so plentiful as to make the fortune of any ship who may happen to visit them ; and, moreover, he has told him of a pirate's treasure buried in some neigh bouring island, with which he alone is acquainted. The sailor dies, leaving the chart of these treasure islands in the hands of the aforesaid avaricious man, who forthwith fits out a ship, the Sea Lion, and en gages an expert captain—Rosvil Gardner, the hero of the book—and entrusts to him the chart and the secret, after making him swear that he . will divulge it to no one. Gardner sets out on his difficult mission, which is rendered yet more difficult by the unwel come and very tenacious companionship of another Sea Lion, in all respects the fac simile of his own vessel. The nephew and heir of the dead sailor having learned that Gardner's expedition is undertaken in consequence of some revelation of his departed relative, and justly considering that he him self—his kinsman and heir—is entitled to some share of the good-fortune, if good-fortune it be, and unable to get a clue as to the destination of the Sea-Lion, has fitted out another vessel of the same name, and forces himself into the companionship of Gardner, resolved to share his fortunes, good or bad. He has more of the latter than he bargained for. How Gardner vainly endeavoured to free himself from his unwelcome "consort," how both vessels were surrounded by ice and verified the second title of the book " The Lost Sealers ;" how Gardner ulti mately succeeded in his expedition, and how, espe cially, the end of the miser—clutching his newly found treasure only to feel his grasp relaxed by the paralysis of death—teaches a forceful lesson on the vanity of riches, we leave our readers to learn in the interesting chapters of Mr. Cooper's romance. THE BATTLE OF THE OPERA. (From Punch.) (After Byron's Description of the Battle of Waterloo.) There was a sound—" 'Tis Jenny Lind's last night!" And England's capital had gathered then Her beauty, rank, fashion, and wealth—and bright The gas shone o'er fair women and spruce men. A thousand heels kick'd anxiously, and when A cry arose from some half fainting swell, Soft laughter rose—then kicks were heard again' The door which had no knocker, nor a bell. But hush!—harkl—a deep sound strikes halt.way down Pell 11/c/1. Did ye not hear? Was it the bolt behind, Or the cabs rattling o'er the stony street? Open the door—the crowd is too confined; It seems an age to wait. Oh, what a treat To count the flying hours upon one's feet! But bark! that heavy sound comes forth once more; The crowd appears its echo to repeat, And pres< , s nearer, denselier than before: Push! push,: it is! it is! the Opera's opefling door. Within a little niche of that throng'd hall Sate Linnley's money- taker; he did hear That union of sounds, the shriek, the squall. Which fell with sound familiar on his ear; And then he smiled when a clenched hand drew near With hal! . ..a-guinea, which he knew full well R.quired a check the barriers to clear— A privilege which he alone could sell, And many, to be foremost, struggling, gasping fell. Ah! then and there was hurrying to and fro, And gathering shawls, or fragments of a dress; And skirts all torn, which but an hour ago Might well be called the pink of tidiness. And there were sudden partings in the press Of ladies from their beaux, and opera ties Were rudely torn asunder—snore or less; No longer fit to meet fastidious eyes, Which on so grand a night are sure to criticise. And there was mounting in hot haste the stairs Of towering Gallery and up-raised Pit, And pouring forward to the Stalls—those chairs In which subscribing dilettanti sit, And show their connoisevership and their wit. A tuning's heard of violins and drums, Balfe comes—of perfect Band conductor fit. Some ill-bred persons point with upraised thumbs; A whisper runs around—" The Queen ! she always comes ." And now the balm waves above the leaves Of Meyerbeer's grand music—at each pass Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning Lind—alasl Before the morning cut away like grass. The crowd on every side, above, below, Packed close in one enthusiastic mass Of expectation, cannot bear to know, The idol they have raised, wills her own overthrow. Last Season saw her full of artist life, Last week saw her La Figlia proudly gay: Rumour announced her au intended wife, A wedding fixed fur a too early day, On which she would be spirited away. The curtain's cloud is dropp'd—the air is rent— The stage is covered thick with a display Of bouquets, as from a Briareus sent ; Gallery, pit, box, stall, in one loud " bravo " blent. Their shouts are heard in louder tones than mine ; Yet, ere I part from that tumultuous throng, The Nightingale Pll trouble with one line, Because I think her resolution wrong. The pure can hallow operatic song, And she was of the purest :—virtne rare is In a profession, now debased too long. A vicious atmosphere will oft embarrass ; It could not taint a breast like thine, young Jenny— Harris. [After all—Mrs. Harris may prove a myth! Events may demonstrate the veracity of that mPmorable decla ration that there is " no rich a person!" Jenny Lied may, as far as her voice is concerned, still continue the Jenny Lind of the three last glorious seasons in the Haymarket. If public enthusiasm can, at least yet awhile, preserve the prima donna of the world to the lyric stage—it will. Then, fur once, our pensive friend Mr. Punch will have chaunted the dirge of a reputation precipitately. Whatever betide, Mademoiselle will doubtless appreciate to the full the sentiment of this most felicitous parody. In the words of the good old song—Jenny Lind, "though lost to sight," must still, with the people of England, ever be "to memory dear."—ED.

The glories of " the I,ng Thursdays" are revived. Last bight, which was the first " long Thursday" of the present season, may vie with any of its predeces sors of any former season in the variety and the ex cellence of its attractions. First we had the ever charming opera of the Cenertntola, with Alboni, Calzolsri, Lablache, and Beletti; then we had the principal scenes of the ballet of Fiorito, in which Carolina Rosati was inure marvellous and more graceful than ever; then the magnificent per forma nee of _Norma by Parodi, followed by the ballet of Electra with Carlotta Grisi and Mgrie Taglioni. '1 he house was crowded to excess. Alhoni and all the old favourites were much ap plauded, and we were delighted to see that a mixed audience, such as that of last night, could fully ap preci.ite the superb acting and singing of Parodi. e expect a great treat here on Saturday, when Madeinuisello Parodi will appear as St-miramide for the first time, supported by Alboni as Arsace, and by Coletti as Assur, while, to render the cast as complete as possible, Lablache will appear as the High Priest. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. The opera of Don Giovanni was performed here last evening, being the first of six farewell perform ances by Madame Yersiani, previous to her retire tnent from the stage. She last night appeared in her favourite character of Zerlina. On her entrance, the fair vocalist received the most enthusiastic greeting. She appeared in much better health than when she last performed here, and not so thin. Of the beauties of her Zerlina it is needless to speak. It is an unique performance, eclipsing all contemporary representa tions of the character, not more by the exquisite finish and true feeling of the vocal portion, than by the simplicity and arch coquettishness of the acting. It wa3 never more perfectly rendered by the actress than last night. She was encored in the charming " Batti, batti," and in the duet " La ci darem" with Tamburini. She was called before the curtain at the close of each act, and covered with applause. The rest of the characters were sustained in the style to which the audience of this theatre have been accustomed. The Giovanni of Tamburini is one of the most artistic even of his impersonations, so gen tlemanly, so gay and vivacious, and with such a fasci nating wickedness. Corbari was the Elvira, and Grisi the Donna Anna, a part to which her tragic genius gives a marvellous force and individuality. Mario also strengthened the cast by his performance of Ottavio, and was, as usual, rapturously encored in the "11 mio Tesoro." The trio, at the close of the first act, sung by these three artists, was enthusiastically encored. Marini made his first appearance as Lepo rello. Though wanting vivacity and mobility, he nevertheless gave a very artistic embodiment of the character, and proved the versatility of his powers, and by the geniality of his whole performance kept the audience in good humour throughout the piece. As a whole, the Don Giovanni, as rendered at this theatre, with the fine cast of the chief characters and the perfection of the orchestral accompaniments, is a musical treat of the highest order.

Prayers were said by the Very Rev, the Dean, but the service was sud denly interrupted by a most painful occurrence. During the chaunting of the Vt mite," the Bishop was seized with a tainting fit and sank upon the floor of the throne; a great sensation was of courtie excited; his Lordship's examining chaplain,-secretary, and others, imme diately went to the Rev. Prehrie'rrhelp, and some of the officiating ciergy lett their salts tolEnd.for medical and other wsistance. The Bishop was taken to the palace, into which there is an entrance from the Cathedral. Dr. Llewellyn Jones and Mr. Harrison were quickly in attendance and restoratives were applied with eflect; and it being ascertained that his Lordship was reco vering, the clergy returned to their stalls and the Dean resumed the service. The lessons were read by two of the candidates for priest's orders ; the first by the Rev. F. E. Williams, and the second by the Rev. L Judge. It bad been the intention of the Bishop to preach on the occasion; but he was at length per suaded to forego, though with great relu ctance, such de termination, on the advice of his medi cal attendants; excitement w hich this sudden, an owing to the delay and and for a time alarming i ncident occasioned, .the Dean announced there would be no sermon. Morning prayers ended, the Bishop, though in a state of great weakness and exhaustion, re-entered the cathedral, and proceeded with the whole of the ordination service to the Nicene Creed, which was read by the Dean. The right rev. prelate was then prevailed upon to retire, and the Dean, assisted by the Rev. Canon Eaton, and the Rev. W. solicitude Sa c rament for of the the Lord's Supper. Bishop Paul and the Rev.
