THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Nxtrieds from the Morning Papers, Jan. 8. [THE TIMES.' According to letters from Paris, dated on Monday last, and received yesterday by express, a Spanish cabinet courier had arrived in that ca. pitat. on the preceding day, bringing a formal ap plication to the Allied Powers to become medi afors between Spain and her late colonies. To 'whatever results this step may lead, it is im portant at least to know, that by taking it Spain at length acknowledges (what, indeed, was ma mifest to • all the world) her inability to make conquests, and declares her disposition to enter into any intelligible arrangement. That it will procure no advantage to Spain, beyond that of retiring from the contest with some slight remains o f di gn i t y, is obvious. We suppose the Allied Powers will hardly give themselves the trouble of interfering ; for even if. a Congress should as semble in consequence of the invitation of Spain, any decrees they might think proper to fulminate against the trans-Atlantic States would only have the effect of overwhelming with the ridicule of Encore those with whom they originated. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We received yesterday by express the Paris Papers of Monday, and the Etoile, dated Tues day. Their contents are not of great import ance. The Etoile contains an article on the affairs of South America, in which it alludes to the armament preparing at Cadiz, which has, it says, " tortured The Courier" sadly. The writer, however, while he insinuates that France has a right to give support to Spain in her endeavour to recover the Colonies, carefully abstains from an open declaration of such views, and concludes his articles by observing, that " it is very satis factory to see that the Radicals of England are willing that the King of Spain should re possess his own, if obtained without foreign as sistance." There is probably more meant in this phrase than is expressed; but from the continued rise in the French Funds, and the general belief in Paris that the French Government will not interfere in the affair of the Colonies, it is but seasonable to infer that the Elate, on this occa sion, is not the faithful organ of the influencial portion of the Cabinet. The Constitutionnel of Monday contains a letter from Madrid, dated December 25, which states, that a rumour was in general circulation in that city, of the disco very of another conspiracy in Portugal, on the eve of its explosion. According to this letter,all hopes of amnesty are at an end ; but we can hardly persuade ourselves that Ferdinand, weak and vicious as he is, has really resolved upon :L1,711 a line of conduct. Liv u.s.l The Paris Journals to Monday night have been received. The French Five per Cents., accord ing to the commercial Expresses, closed at 94 1.5, and were afterwards at 94 40 for the Account. Scrip was at 51, and Spanish Bonds were at 264. No political intolligence has transpired of suffi cient interest to produce so great an improvement. The private letters state a confident opinion that the French Minister would attempt a reduc tion iu the interest of the National Securities. In consequence of the very favourable aspect of affairs, Consols have still further advanced, and present what is termed on the Stock Exchange , c a healthy appearance." Having closed at 881 for the opening. of the books at the Bank, they were subsequently at 884; and for the new Ac count ending the 2Eth-February at 89.—in the Foreign Funds the French Rentes were done at -94. 50. for investments made here, which leads to a supposition that they will be still higher in the French capital. Spanish Bonds of 1821 c l ose d a t 251. Most of the other funded Secu rities are upon the advance. -*••••ss., - ZW . ... , ..----- [MORNING POST.] The official accounts of the Revenue for the year and quarter ending the sth inst. which we yesterday laid before our Readers, exhibit the increasing prosperity of the Empire in the most flattering point of view. In order to justly ap preciate our present flourishing condition, it shotild be borne in mind, that from the peace until the year. now concluded some important classes of the community were sufferers in con y sequence of the vast revulsion in all descrip. tions. of trade and commerce which a .sudden change in our foreign and domestic relations ne cessarily produced. But little more indeed than twelve months have elapsed since the distress of the Agriculturists was depicted in the most de spairing terns, and not only a great reduction of Taxes strenuously advocated by a considerable party in ..Parliament, but a composition of the National Debt, or, in other terms, a National' Bank m ptc 4 , : griyely,,proposed by Members of both Ilouses as indispensable to the very salva-' tion of the country. how different is the case at this moment._ Within the last two years several millions of taxes. have been relinquished, and the Revenue, notwithstanding, has absolutely in creased ! Had the contributions of the people remained stationary, and the income thence derived, as, well as the expenditure which it • is destined., to defray, also been sta tionary, the empire, after so tremendous and pro tracted a war as it had braved, might be deemed highly prosperous. 'But haw much more gratify ing the picture whiCh it in reality presents for contemplation. Tranquillity now pervades every part of the United Kingdom, every class, nay, we might say every individual, is satisfied with the conduct of Government both at home and abroad—no branch of trade is labouring under even teinpory embarrassment—Taxation, in the na time, has been greatly reduced, while the interest of the national burdens has been ho nestly and legitimately diminished—and, toge ther with all these direct and indirect advan tage-, our Revenue is . daily increasing!. [MORNING IfEARLD.] An opinion has, recently gone abroad both in Paris and Londo4, that the South Americans will be allowed the option of purchasing their inde pendence in hard cash. There is some novelty in the transaction, even as a matter of political speculation. It would appear even to bear its own failure on the face of it. When the metro politan power descends to bargain away its au thority in this manner, it may be fairly presumed that it despairs of obtaining any thing by the force of arms. And what attention are the Co lonies likely to pay to aPower so reduced ? But it is said that a Congress will be held in Paris, and that the offer of Spain to South America will be backed by France. It is even held out that the money so obtained is to go in part towards indem nifying the French Government for the expences of the war. This would, no doubt, be a strong inducement for France to give all her support to the bargain offered by King Ferdinand to his re volted Colonies. But have these Colonies sums of money at their disposal ? It is true those re gions abound in precious mines, and might afford a fair basis for descriptions of boundless wealth to the writer of a romance. There is an infinite deal of probability in the Eldorado adventures of Coconino and Condi* ; but what is the real fact at the present day ? Are not the South Americans obliged to resort for loans of money to John Bull and the Stock Exchange ? The Colombian Loans all the world has heard of, and we are informed that there are at this moment Envoys sent over from Mexico and even from the new Government of Guatimala, on a money-raising speculation. [interim elms.] Monday's French Papers, morning and even ing, reached our office yesterday. The Etoile is still harping on the affairs of South America. " Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike," this organ of the bigotted Ultras, while it more than insinuates the right of France to support enfeebled Spain in her attempt on the Colonies, does not dare to make an open avowal of such views ; this Jesuitical article concludes by stating that--" It is very satisfactory to observe, that " the Radicals of England are willing that the " King of Spain should re-possess himself of his 44 rights, if obtained without foreign assistance." —There is some dark meaning in this sophistical sentence.—But the feeling in Paris was, that no support by France would be given to degraded Spain against her emancipated colonies. It was even said, that an assurance had been given by M. Villele to our Ambassador to that effect. From whatever cause, the French funds rose rapidly on Monday ; after the close of the " parquet," they were so high as 94f. .50c.— Spanish Bonds were as proportionably depressed _they were as low as 26 and i6l. Accounts from Madrid to the 25th December present the most gloomy picture of that wretched coun try. The whole neighbourhood of the capital was overrun with bands of robbers. Five French sol diers,l'ormilig part of an escort who conveyed some money returning to France, were stopped by an armed band and stripped to their shirts at Alco vend*, one post only from Madrid. Maragnon, the celebrated Trappist, was in that capit4l, and, like one of the appalling followers of " Death on the pale horse" of the Ftevelatioe s, t rave rsed its streets daily in his b rown h a bi t, flung over a military unifo rm , on h orse b ac k . This infamous and sanguinary fanatic was backed b y a score of armed ruffians, with famine and atroc ity i n every feature. What a su bj ect for Domenichino or the terrible Salvator, were th e y now in existence, to pourtray the bandit monk and his crew of murderers! Our Bayonne letter asserts that the Decree of Amnesty, loaded with excep tions, was at the Printing -office ; but the Madrid account states, the idea of it was abandoned, and that Irujo's Ministry • kept their pl a ces, not because they wertagreeable to the tyrant and bigots who sureaq,ded Wm, but from the protection afforded them by Bourmont and the French, who are absolutely masters of Spain. I nserrection was alr ea d y b eg i nning open l y to break out, against the atrocious tyranny under which Spain is suffering. Accounts from Truxillo, to the 21st of December, say, that a conspiracy, formed by more than a hundred individuals, with an Advocate at its head, had brok en out in the environs of Valencia d'Alcantara. They at tempted to get possession of that place, but failed in the attempt, and were pursued by the Royalist Governor, Morales, who is said to have sur ronnded them. The first effort may fail, but the attempt will not stop there, and every province will yet be in arms. No country can succumb under such a tyranny as that which now op presses Spain. POYAIS SETTLEMENT.—A. few days ago, an in teresting girl, seemingly about ten years of age, named ANN GIBSON, presented herself at the Police-office, Edinburgh, de.. manding protection. She represented herself to be the daughter a a journeyman printer of this city, who had been induced to embark his family, consisting of himself, his wife, and this little sufferer, in the ill-fated expedition to Poyais. They sailed froth Leb, along with other infatuated people --the.Kin nersley Caitle ; and soon after arriving at their place of destina tion poor Gibson fell a victim to the insalubrity of the climate. Br the humanity of the Captain of the Friends, of London, Gibson's widow and his c hild w h o h a d b een plundered of every thing, even of their very clothe s , were rece i ve d as passengers on board of that ship on its homeward voyage. In the course of the passage Mrs. Gibson died of an infection which she had caught when on shore at Poyais ; and the ship having to put in at a port in Ireland, her orphan child was there landed. During the whole of her adventures the poor girl seems to have been singularly befriended by Providence. At the port we have mentioned, the sailors of a vessel trading to Glasgow were so much struck with compassion at her misfortunes, that they agreed to give her a free passage to Glasgow, where she arrived in safety ; and there meeting with a benevolent carrier, he agreed to convey her in his cart at his own expence to her native city. Upon arriving in this city, unbefriended and helpless, she had no other resource but to apply to the Police office, where every attention . has been since paid to her, and the expence of subsisting her been defrayed by Capt. ROBIN SON himself. She suffers much from a tertian ague, caught in the swamps of Poyais, which confines her to her bed. The simple statement of this case, we feel persuaded, must excite a wish in many benevolent breasts to assuage the sorrows of this unhappy orphan, and establish her in some decent way of living. The ship Albion, with passengers and stores for Poyais, passed Montserrat, all well, on the Ist of November. REMOVAL OF THE PRISONERS.—This day the prisoners who stood committed on charges of fe lony were removed from the several Gaols in the City of London and County of Middlesex to Newgate, preparatory to their trials at Justice Hall in the Old Bailey, where the Sessions will commence on Wednesday next. SWEDEN. SPEECH OF THE KING OF SWEDEN ON THE CLOSING OF THE DIET, DEC. 22. Though the fundamental compact specifies only four months for your being assembled, I have thought it my duty to yield to your wishes, and to permit the continuance of your sittings for seven months more. Viewed politically, much surprise might, perhaps, be on first sight ex pressed at the length of this session ; but experi ence of facts, and the habit of considering great affairs, are frequently wanting amidst the various interests which belong to the social state of man. Conjunctures also exercise a particular influence beyond every calculation and combination, and events, which are sometimes the result of acci dent or of certain unforeseen causes, deceive the efforts of the most consummate prudence. If you have on this occasion satisfied all hopes, you have prepared for the ensuing Diet the means of esta blishing a financial amelioration, claimed by all classes. Liberty, in furnishing to man the knowledge of the dignity of his being, has conferred on him the strength and the resignation which are necessary for supporting with patience the vicissitudes of life. But liberty soon disappears when Govern ment is not invested with an authority of a suffi cient magnitude to preserve for the people that which the people have acquired. You have beheld the events by which the most flourishing countries of Europe have been afflicted. When states are convulsed, the people are in the end the greatest sufferers. This con viction ought to induce us never to lose sight of the public welfare and tranquillity. The first benefit which the people have a right to require of us is internal repose, to obtain which the pub lic voice calls upon us to execute without dis. Unction the laws which form the safeguard of the nation. We experience the happy influence of an almost insular position. If, however, the laws which govern us have not acquired all the perfection which could be desired, the changes to be made must be the work of time... To endeavour to accomplish those changes hastily, would be to put to hazard a ll present advantages, and the finest hopes for the future. To precipitate the natural progress which belongs to the genius of our institutions, would be to expose them to those catastrophes of which the present age has furnished striking examples. I have followed the same circumspect syst em in the application of our reciprocal duties, and I have considered myself bound to refuge all par tial interpretation of our fundamental l aws. Wishing only to retain my legal powers without any encroachment of yours, I shall be always ready to enter into concert with you on every thing capable of riving greater clearness to our compact, and thus leadi ng u s su ccess i ve l y to augment the public prosperity in a perfectly united and solid manner. Our exportation has been very active, and the balance of commerce for this and the preceding years was to our advantage. The harv e sts have been abundant, and yet th e agriculturist is em barrassed. Ile will continue so to be until a new system of landed securities shall place hi m in a more fixed situation than that in which he now stands. If the hope which I entertain Of seeing his situation imp roved be not realized, I shall again assemble around me the Stat es G e neral, in order to propose to th em measures, the effi cacy of which cannot be doubtful except with respect to persons whose relief is not within the compass of our influence. The Committee appointed to draw up the Ci vil Code have terminated their labours. That code is submitted to me and my councillors' ex amination. It will be presented to you next Ses sion, with the ameliorations or modifications which I may consider proper to be introduced into the plan. The code of crimes and punishments is also the subject of my solicitude. Its plan will be characterized by a regard to individual secu rity and publid safety. The sums which you have placed at my dis posal for the - completion of th e g reat work s o f the Canal of Gotha, and for other enterprises of general interest, appear to be sufficient, and I hope to be able to fulfil your expectation and mine. The improvement of the administration shows itself in so evident a manner, that it is impos sible for the observer, of even the least penetra tion, not to recognise its progress. Happy the nations which are thus enabled, in the bosom of public peace, to advance their wellbeing and simplify their institutions, The system of neutrality ; which my Govern ment has traced out for itself, with respect to all affairs which do not immediately and essentially affect the existence of the two kingdoms, assures us that our neutrality will continue to be re spected. Nothing shall be neglected on our part to prolong its duration. The relations of amity which exist with all the Powers of Europe are the augury of that durable peace which forms the object of our wishes. I thank you, gentlemen, for the numerous proofs of affection and devotion which you have given to me, and to all the members of my family. I regret that the breaking up of the Diet, joined to the bad season, should have presented an ob stacle to the execution of the wish you manifest ed for the coronation of the Queen, my spouse. That wish shall be satisfied on the next meeting of the States-General. On your return to your homes and to the bo soms of your families, endeavour to strengthen public peace and union. Be friends, be Swedes. Let that proud name remind you that constancy is the greatest of all power ; but that weakness and discord, by destroying states, .undermine the freedom of mankind. I repeat to you, gentlemen, the assurance of my good wishes and Royal sentiments. THE LATE MR. NOLLEKENS. The. people. have heard a ,good deal of the parsimony of Mr. NoLLEik.}:l4; his liberality is less known. It may not tf amiss to observe, that profuse people are seldom able to be liberal : they generally expend too much on themselves to have any thing to bestow on others. The fol lowing instance of liberality by Mr. N. are from an account of his life in the 44 Annual Biography and Obituary" for 1824 : " In private life, Mr. NOLLEKENS was considered penuri ous. It frequently happens, however, that parsimony, in trifling matters, is found to be perfectly compatible with gene rosity in things of moment. It was so in a great degree with Mr. Nollekens. While he would hesitate to give half-a-crown to the servant who had brought him a haunch of venison from his friend the late Lord Yarborough, he would not scruple to put five pounds into the hands of atiy distressed applicant whom he thought deserving of relief. Numerous examples might be adduced of his liberality in this respect. He had formerly an uncle who lived in France, to whom he allowed thirty pounds per annum ; and at various times he admitted regula r pensioners on his bounty. The following anecdote affords fur ther and very pleasing proofs of the great kindness of his dis position. " A Mr. R----, formerly well known as the publisher of some valuable antiquarian works, was for many years in habits of intimacy with Mr. Nollekens. One day he called at Mr. Nolleken's studio, and appearing much depressed, Mr. Nolle kens asked what was the matter. He complained of faint ness and extremely low spirits ; on which Mr. Nollekens said, 'Go to the pump, and get a glass of cold water.' The poor fellow turned away with a big tear standing in his eye at such apparently unfeeling advice; This silent reproach, though unobserved by Nollekens, was noticed by Mr. Smith (the father of the present keeper of the prints in the British Museum), who was at the time Mr. Nollekens' principal assistant. Immediately after the retirement of Mr. R—, Mr. Smith told Mr. Nollekens th a t h e . h a d unnecessarily wounded the feelings of a distressed man. Nollekens, who had really recommended the cold water as the best remedy for low spirits, because it was that to which he himself had con stantly had recourse, was shocked to think that he could have been so misunderstood, and went directly to the house of Mr. .R._____., whom he found, no doubt, indulging in bitter reflections 'on his old croney's unkindness. ' Tell me what's the matter,' said Nollekens; ' I recommended cold water to you, not from indifference but as the best advice I could g i ve you. Tell me as a friend the cause of your a r iction.' Ile imme diately laid open his situation, and it appeared that he had outlived the demand for his works, and that his circumstances would compel him to quit a house in which lie had resided for thirty years, and in which he had hoped to die. Nollekens urged the propriety of his giving up the house and retiring to cheap lodgings. This advice increased Mr. R.'s distress, which Nollekens perceiving, thus closed the conversation—' Well, well, remain in the house; keep your old study, and what other rooms you want; let out the rest ; and here, take this (giving twenty guineas, twisted up in a paper, and evidently prepared for the purpose), and mind I will send you the same sum every year while you live.'—Mr. Nolleketts kept his word." BEAUTY OF THE EYES. Except the incient R omans an d the mod large eyes ha ve a l ways been esteemed essen tial t o beauty. By this test a l one we can distinguish whether an a nti q ue statue of Venus or Juno b e . R oman or Grecian, as the classic Greeks had more taste th a n t o represent a goddess w i t h sma ll, peering, miserly eyes. Hom er , i n d eed, se ld om ment i ons Juno without compar i ng her eyes to those of the oz. Chinese, among The oriental poets draw a more elegant' simile from the large eyed antelope or gazelle, which has not escaped Lord Byron. Her eyes dark charm 'twere vain to tell, But gaze on that of the gazelle, It will as s i s t t h y f ancy well. Giaour. The brilliancy of th e eye and its appearance of fulness,•de pend of course in some degree on its form, and on the magni tude of the eye-ball; but still more on the closeness and am plitude of the eye-lashes and the diameter of the pupil. It is the eye-lashes only over which we possess the greatest power, as we can bring them to the highest perfection of loss and. thickness by the Circ ass i an m et h od we have already detail ed. This is not all : the oriental beauties, from time imme morial, have practised the art of darkening the eye-lashes with antimony, which is put both on the hairs, and on the skin at their ro o t s , w hil e a small streak of it is often ex tended outwards from the exterior angle of each eye. This has a very imposing effect when artfully performed ; and we have European ladies who had been in the East, employ this method to give a brightness and beauty to their eyes, alto gether inconceivable, making even the plainest little grey eyes appear full-orbed, and piercingly dark. It is for such, indeed, that we writs ; others have no need of antimony nor frankin cense black. The latter is much inferior, as all European cos metics are, to those of the East ; but, to such as choose to try it, we give the receipt, TO RENDER TIIE EYES BRIGHTER AND DARREN. Take an ounce of frankincense, the same quantity of resin and pitch, and half as much -mastic. Throw all these ingre dients opon a piece of red hot charcoal, receive the fumes into large funnel, and a fine black powder will adhere; mix this with a little oil of Benjamin, Eau de Cologne, or what is perhaps better, the juice of elder-berries, and it is fit for being applied to the eye-leslies, or to the eye-brows. A large pupil, though it is certainly one of the highest marks of beauty, is also a sure token of a weak constitution ; so much so, that whatever renders the body delicate will seldom fail to dilate and enlarge the pupil, and make the eyes beautifully languid. We cannot with safety re commend any practical method of enlarging the pupils of the eyes founded on this principle. There is, however, a certain drug called extract of belladonna, which has a most powerful effect in enlarging the pupil. A very little of it rubbed on the eye-lids will in a short' time enlarge the pupil to a wonderful degree, and the effect will' continue for comae hours. We must caution those who try this, from using too much of the extract, lest it make the pupils too large and staring 5 the quantity for each individual can only be learned by experience. It is per fectly safe, and is used every day by surgeon-oculists for en larging the pupil to examine the deeper parts of the eye. Many also with too - contracted and' other diseases of the eyes, would be totally blind but for the daily use of this powerful ex tract.—(family Oracle of Health.) ANFLICTING ACCIDENT.--On Monday last a very melancholy occurrence took place at Oak- Lawn, Surrey, the seat 'of EDWARD Motttxy, Esq. Amongst a number of, friends who were enjoying winter sports at Oak-Lawn, was Capt. T. Morley, formerly - of the Iltiti; East . India Company's Artillery, who had arrived in Eng land only a few days previous. Captain Morley, being particularly fond of field-sports, was highly delighted with the well-kept covers of his brother's estate, and sported every morning ; on Monday last .he was shooting a new cover, in company with his nephew, a lad of sixteen sears old ; the enclosures being very close, Cap. win Morley recommended the young gentleman to keep in the. rear, and not to fire until the birds had risen above the quickset hedge whiCh divided them. Two cocks starting soon after, the nephew unfortunately neglected this, caution and fired, when Capt. Morley, who was then not twenty yards distant, received nearly the entire charge in his right should e r, and fell, exclaiming 44 Oh ! George, I am shot." The young gentleman, overhearing the excla mation, sprung over the hedge, and . found his uncle lying on the ground in great agony . : assistance was instantly procured, and the wound was examined by Surgeon Waller, who happened to be then on a visit at the house; the greater part of the shot was extracted but from the torn state of the surrounding flesh,' and a partial frac ture of the bone, it is presumed that amputa tion will be necessary to ensure the gentleman's recovery. IMPROVING THE VOICE. • A fine toned voice for •speaking or singingis, like poetical genius, the gift of heaven ; but the worst voice may, by the directions which we shall give, be astonishingly improved, and a fine voice may be preserved from beingcracked and ruined-- au event by no means uncommon, as a consequence of ignorance or carelessness. We can promise much, though we cannot perform the miracle of making a bad voice equal in delicacy and brilliant execution to that of Mrs. Salmon ; in graceful polish to that of Vaughan; in thrilling melody to that of Madame de Begnis ; in richness and full ness of tone to that of Miss Stephens ; in spirit to that of Braham and Sapio ; or in unrivalled power and majesty to that of Catalani. Our remark will apply equally t o public speakers, to whom. s the tones of the voice are no less important than to singers. The first and most powerful means of improving the voice is constantly exercising it, particularly in the pitch and the tones in which it is most deficient. We have known the most wonderful effects produced by this means, in adding to the compass, the sweetness, and ease' of the voice. With respect to ease and rapidity' of transition, constant practice is indispensable,- for the reeds of the voice are in this respect pre-- - cisely like the fingers —rapidity and ease can' only result from powerful practice. Exercise and practice have also a poweful influence on the and muscles, the two main instruments of the voice. A labouring man has the muscles and nerves of his arms greatly increased in size and power from continued exercise ; and the same effect will be produced on the nerves and mus cles of the vice by repented practice. Without strength of the nerves and muscles, indeed, the voice must be weak, tremulous, squeaking, and without compass. The sky-lark, whose pipe is so powerful, is found to have these of extraordi nary capacity. By very frequently practising the tones in which the voice is most deficient, the parts will, to a certainty, acquire strength. To public speakers, we recommend net only fre quent speaking aloud in private, rt various pitche-• of the voice, but also frequent practice in singing in different keys, which requires more exertion and compass of voice, and will conse quently more powerfully strengthen the muscles and nerves, by directing thither agreater supply of blood, the chief invigorating principle of the body, A nother very efficacious mode of s t rengt h en i ng the voice is, bathing and gargling the throat regularly morning and evening with cold water, which braces the parts, and ivigorates th e nerves. Ott this principle all warm cravats, and other clothing muffled up over the throat, will prove relaxing and injurious. If you are afraid of catching colds, defend well the parts below the ear and the angle of the jaw, and you may safely leave the fore part of the throat, where the organ of voice is, naked to the winter's blest, as is done by Lord Byrors and other great men. With respect to food and drink, all acids and astringents do injury to the voice, by hardening, and crisping the more de licate fibres of the reeds. Why then d oes M r . Mathews and others sometimes suck an orange during their performaces ? It is very wrong.— Oranges, apples, stone fruit of any kind, nuts, rai.. sins, port wine, rough flavoured tea, &c. are all highly injurious to the power and polish of the voice, and ought to be avoided or used sparing ly. If the throat is apt to become harsh and dry, lozeng e s, or a sma ll bi t of purified nitre or the best moist ener i s peppermint or nitro of salt prunelle, allowed to dissolve slowly in the m ou th. Wh en t h e vo i ce is required to be forced for any great emergency, we know nothing superior to a rew egg, beat up with a wine glass full of good Madeira, or half the quantity of brandy or rum and a little water, to which you may add with great advantage 2 or 3 tea-spoon fulls of the ampound tincture of cinnamon. This tincture is of itself an excellent tonic for, the voice. The egg prevents the spirit from acting all at once, and it likewise preserves the stomach from going out of order, which would also hurt the voice. We have only space at present to add, that whatever tends to injure di gestion or impair the general health, will also hurt the voice, such as irregular living, late hours, want of exercise, ignorant feasting, and alk sensual indulgences. • Mrs. CONNOLLY, wife of the unfortunate Mr , CONNOLLY, a year or two back, resided some, considerable time in this town, and was much re spected by those who knew her. Her husband and herself agreed to articles of separation, under which she allows him 1001. per annum, and which, at the period above alluded to, hg used to draw regularly at one of our banking. houses. —(Lewes Journal.)
