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, and invigorating, is equally distinguished for safety in application, as for unfailing efficacy in eradicating all redness, tan, Pimples, spots, freckles, discolouratiens, 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 find it allay all irritation and ten derness of the skin, and render it sett, smooth, and pleasant. Its Purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive election by her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe. *** Beware of spurious " KALYDORS" for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their re pellent action endangering health. The words " ROWLANDS' YDOlt" are on the wrapper of the genuine article. Price 4s. 6 . d. and Bs. 6d. bottle. Sold by A. ROWLAND and SONS, 20, Hatton-garden, London, an d by Chemists and perfumers. FINANCIAL REFORM. REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE. In 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- Ot her ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling :value a nd universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the term e qually advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not e i ncome, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING LARGE E In most of thee SS in e principal towns in Gre S at Britain, our TABLISHMENTS cmcentrated Purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices cons i derably lower than the average. Our garments are de- Si gned and cut b y talented artists, and manufactured by experience d wOrknier, ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-ecntage upon 2riginal cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain 4 ures, 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 h ave been s e ld om, i f 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.

In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionaly, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly.

E-FRIDAY Only a moderate supply of English Wheat has bees ~cceived up to our market this week, coastwise as well as by land carriage; hence the show of samples here )this morning was small. As the number of millers is attendance was limited, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state, at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday. The imports of Foreign Wheat have amounted to 17,650 quarters, nearly the whole of which have passed the Customs for home consumption. Selected parcels were steady, at full currencies; but all other qualities were a slow inquiry. Barley, the supply of which was small, sold s'owly, at about stationary prices. The inquiry for Malt was restricted to retail quantities, at previous currencies. The Oat trade was tolerably firm, and late rates were mostly supported. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were held at full prices. Flour was a slow sale, but not cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

The supply of Beasts in to-day's market being on the increafe—the fresh arrivals comprising nearly 700 head from Norfolk—and the attendance of buyers small, the Beef trade was exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the quotations of Monday of fully 2d per 81bs, at which a clearauce was not all cted. With Sheep we were some what heavily supplied; hence, the demand for that de- scription of stock was in a very inactive state, and prices gave way quite 2d per 81bs. The highest figure for the best old Downs being 4s per 81bs. Lambs, the numbers of which were large, moved off slowly, at a fall in value of per 81bs. In calves very little business was trans acted, and prices had a downward tendency. The Pork trade was heavy, at barely late rates.

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 " Venite," the Bishop was seized with a fainting fit and sank upon the floor of the throne; a great sensation was of course excited; his Lordship's examining chaplain, his secretary, and others, imme diately went to the Rev. Prelate's help, and some of the officiating clergy left their stalls to send for medical and other assistance. 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 effect; 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. I. Judge. It had been the intention of the Bishop to preach on the occasion; but he was at length per suaded to forego, though with great reluctance, such de at e n r m owingi a tio t n o , t hoon delay t he a a d n v d i ce excitemento th p e ded proceeded and for a time alarming incide nt occasione d , the Dean announced there would be no sermon.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN TIE 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 taken into 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 th€y 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 incur any responsibility, leaving INlessrs• Blunt to lay down Unes at their own risk, they undertaking to do no damage either to the public or to individuals, cad to stop all further works when required so to do, and to remove any work that shall be found injurious. The report was agreed to. and the City seal was set to the conditions prescribed by the City Solicitor. THE ELECTION. ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The report of the Freedom Committee was brought tip, 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 amendm en t s were proposed, b ut th e on ly one of importance car r i e d was, " That the qualification for a candidate for the o ffi ce of a common counc il man be the same as that of an e l ector.

In the dockyard at Kingston are large quantities of valuable machinery, stores, gunboats, and a bar rack capable of accommodating from 600 to 800 men, the whole in charge of an acting storekeeper and his 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 good one ; it is very d;ffieult to obtein, and still more difficult to keep, seamen en those waters. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander James Raw storne, arrived last evening after sunset' from 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 belonging to the navy are on the "sick list." The steam-tug seized yesterday on suspicion of be ing employed in smuggling 150 half ankers of foreign spirits was named the Royal Charter, not the Peter Rolt, although the property of the gentleman of that name. She had been taken by the men apprehended in her without the knowledge of the superintendent of Air. 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 bolt. 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, 35 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. Woomricir, MAY 17.—The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, was taken out of dock yesterday morning at half-past eight o'clock, the bolt havir g 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 possible delay, had workmen placed upon her, and they worked in relays during the whole 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 for Green hithe, gave instructions that the Monkey steam-vessel should take her in 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 be able to leave that place with the North Star in tow for the North Sea, about twelve o'clock yesterday, one 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. Leen. On the afternoon of Tuesday last one of the con victs employed in this yard, named Mark Jeffery, under sentence of transportation for life for highway robbery, refused to work, and the guard sent him on board the Warrior convict-ship, in charge of the sentry. Mr. Allen, one of the guards on duty at the ship, expostulated with the convict on the impropriety of his conduct, when he immediately took from under his clothes an African oa k t rena il , an d struck him a very severe blow on the h ea d, an d i n a moment after wards attempted to strik e M r . Masterman on the head, but he observed hi s mo ti on t o injure him, and warded off the blow by raisi n g his arm , w hich is considerably hurt. The sen t r y immediately w ent down to the prisoner, and p reve nted him from com mitting any further v i o l ence , w hich he threatened to do if the sentry had n o t be en there. Mr. Allen was assisted home, and is still unable to resum e his duties. Mr. Masterman, superintendent of the convict-ship, has reported the case to the authorities at the head of the convict department.

My opinion of Moses' is this, Teat their warehouse has nothing amiss; For many ft year have I tried The garments by Moses' supplied, And finding how business is done, I can recommend Moses and Son. I've a bill on my file you must know, Which is dated just twelve years azo, When first I was tempted to try The garments of Moses' supply, And ever since then I've been one 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 Slave ail 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 asply To the boots awl 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 Son. 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. HEADY MADE.

The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

PII:MINGIIAINI, MAY 17.—At Gloucester and Worcester markets, on the 12th, the wheat trade ruled dull, with the turn in favour of the buyer, but at no quotable variation from that day se'nni2ht. The supply of English wheat was short. In barley rather more doing. Oats 6d to Is per quarter higher. Erglish 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 6d per - quarter higher, but this latter rise is submitted to with reluctance en 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. GLASGOW, MAY 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 flour reached Grangemouth from abroad. A moderate business occurred during the week at the currencies of last Wednesday. This day's market was thinly attended. Wheat was in fair demand for consumption at the full terms of last week ; barrel flour rather dearer. Barley and rye met a better inquiry, and was the turn in sellers' favour.

The roses were particularly fine, both in the colours of the flowers and the size 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.

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 American 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 so simply described in his pages, that the denizens of London were for the time trans ported into " Some wild Savannah where man had never been," 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 for 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—Bosvil 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 lac simile of his own vessel. The nephew and heir of the dead sailor Paving 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 destinaticn 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. lle 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 lsick'd anxiously, old when A cry arose from some half-fainting swell, Soft laughter rase—then kicks were heard again' The door which had no knocker, nor a bell. But hush!—hark I—a. deep sound strikes half-way down Pell Mell. Did ye not hear? Was it the bolt behind, Ot 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 hark! that heavy sound comes forth once more; The crowd appears its echo to repeat, And presses nearer, denselier than before: Push! push! it is! it is! the Opera's opening door. Within a little niche of that throng'd hall Sate Lumley'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 half-a-guinea, which he knew full well Required 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—more 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 connoisseurship 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 Viten waves above the leaves Of Aleyerbeer's grand music—at each pass Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning Lind—alas! 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 an intended wife, A wedding fixed for 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 I'll trouble with one line, Because I think her resolution wrong. The pure can hallow operatic song, And she was of the purest :—virtue 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 memorable decla ration that there is "no sich a person!" Jenny Lind 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, for once, our pensive friend Mr. Punch will have cbaunted 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 clear."—ED.

Last night, which was the first " long Thursday" of the Fresent 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 claming opera of the Cenerentola, with Alboni, Calzolari, Lablache, and Beletti ; then we had the principal scenes of the ballet of Fiorita, in which Carolina Rosati was more marvellous and more gre.ceful film ever ; then the magnificent performance of Norma by Parodi, followed by the ballet of Electra with Carlotta Grisi and Mai rie Taglioni. The house was crowded to excess. Ali ioni and all the old favairites were much ap plaisded, and we were delighted to see that a mixed audience, such as that of last night, could fully ap pre.ziate the superb acting and singing of Parodi. We expect a great treat here on Saturday, when Maeienioiselle Parodi will appear as Semiramide for the first time, sup por t e d b y Al b on i cs Arsace, and b y Col nti as Assur, w hil e, to render the cast as complete as possible, Lablache will appear as the High Priest. A e i 1:g the ITALIAN firstf s oix f o a r P e w E e med here last evitYeni°ng, bOll PERA. The oper a o f D on Giovanni Was perform ancesperformed by Madame Persiani, previous to her retire ment; 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 hex Zerlina it is needless to speak. It is an unique performance, eclipsing all contemporary representa tione, of the character, not more by the exquisite finish and true feeling of the vocal portion, than by the simAlcity and arch coquettishness of the acting. It was Dever more perfectly rendered by the actress than last night. She was encored in the charming " B atti, batti," and in th e d uet "L a c i 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 accustamed. The Giovanni of Tarnbtirini is one of the inc , st artistic even of his impersonations, so gen tlern acily, so gay and vivacious, and with such a fasci. Lath ig wickedness. Corbari wes the Elvira, end Grisi: the Donna Anna, a part to which her tragic genitas gives a marvellous force and individuality. Mario also strengthened she cast by his performance of Otta•Fso, and was, as usual, rapturously encored in the "Il r aio Tesoro." The trio, at the close of the first act, sung by these three artists, was enthusiastically enco3.7e(l. Marini made his first appearance as Lepo rello. Though wanting vivacity and mobility, he nevertheless gave a very artistic embodiment of the chore der, and proved the versatility of his powers, and bry the geniality of his whole performance kept the aix.dience 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.
