" First P.S.-1 forgot to mention that the enemy's force in to-day's battle amounted to about 4,000 cavalry, of which 3,000 were regular troops. His infantry was much too far behind to engage in it. " It is asserted that libd-el-Fader was present at the battle. " Second P.S.—I have just now received positive informa. tion that Abd-el-Kader was present." POST OFFICE COMMITTEE. Mr. Duncombe's account of his interview with the House of Commons' Post-office Cemmitteois an entertaining inter ' lude in the progress of that business, the interest in which has been rather slackening of late. Mr. Duncombe, it seems, has made a charge with respect to this transaction of letter opening. He professes himself able .to substantiate this charge. He says he can prove that some fifty or sixty of Mazzini's letters have been opened, as well as of Captain Stolzberg's and other individuals, and he believes he can prove that some of his own letters have been opened too. Under these circumstances the Committee send for him, and say. they understand he has a statement to make to them.- Mr. Duncombe says he has no statement to make but this, and that he is willing to give the Committee the benefit of his information. "Then give us your list of witnesses," he is told; " we will send for them and examine them punctually; and in the meantime we have no further concern with you, Mr. Duncombe—good morning to you." Now, everybody knows what an examination of witnesses by a Committee is. Just so much is extracted from the witnesses as the Com mittee choose to extract, and no more. The amount gained may vary, from everything to nothing, according to the disposition and questioning talent of the members of the Committee. In the present instance, letting alone the disposition, there was not one man on the Committee who had any knowledge of, or had at all entered into the matter in hand ; or who could, therefore, know anything of the proper way of getting at the facts of the case, and the pro per questions to put to the witnesses. Mr. Duncombe was, accordingly, much obliged by the courtesy of the Committee in offering to take the trouble upon themselves, but he had rather examine the witnesses himself. He knew, from his acquaintance with the circumstances, how to get the truth from them, and they did not know. A person at a table d'ltote, who sees a very awkward carver going sedulously to help him to the driest and most unsavoury corner of the whole joint, says, " Thank you, is that for me ? I will -not trouble you." Mr. Duncombe had rather help himself to his own evidence, and carve the joint himself. He had a pre sentiment of the bones, and gristle, and skin that the Com mittee's carving would result in, and thought that he should take more interest, probably, in proving his own charge than the Committee would m doing it for him ; in other words, that he would find himself and his charge left in the lurch. But the Committee were bland and pressing. " The Committee pressed him very much to give up his list to them. He had nothing to complain of their de meanour. They were all of them in their manner most in dulgent—(Hear, and a laugh)—indeed, he might term their conduct as almost coaxing.—(Loud laughter.) It was sug gested that he might leave his papers in the hands of some member in whom he had confidence, and who might put all the requisite questions. To this he (Mr. Duncombe) had re plied, with perfect candour and courtesy, that he had equal confidence in all of them.—(Loud laughter.)" Mr. Dun combe has certainly a good deal of prima facie justice on his side. A Committee that takes the substantiation of an ac cuser's charge out of the accuser's hands into its own, has the former's character forthwith in its power, and can, by simply preventing as much as they please of that substantia tion,_ make his charge empty and himself cal umn i ous . A s Mr. Duncombe says—" The Committee was appointed to in vestigate certain charges which he had brought against Go vernment ; but it turned round suddenly and converted itself, in fact, into a Committee for trying his (Mr. Dun combe's) veracity." Lord Sandon was willing to allow him to be present, but not to examine, except, indeed, the House made him a regular member of the Committee. Sir Robert Peel, after an eulogium upon his own great indul gence in allowing Mr. Duncombe to bring on his motion at all, which he thought he would have been justified, according to the rules of the House, in objecting to, proceeded to state that he should certainly oppose Mr. Duncombe's being one of the Committee ;—" he should certainly advise the House to adhere in this case to the general practice with regard to all Committees of the sort. It was now a question of confi dence in the Committee." Mr. Strutt, a member of the Com mittee, observed upon the difficulty which would be occa sioned by a fresh member coming in, and having to be told all that had gone on before. The motion was after a discus sion put, that Mr. Duncombe should be placed upon the Com mittee, and was negatived. Now, " the rules of the House," and " inconvenience," and other reasons of this sort, may be fair reasons in their way; all we know is, that here a charge is made and the accuser is not allowed to prove it : a Com mittee is appointed for the express purpose of collecting information, and it refuses by one act a whole body of in formation • that is to 'say, it refuses the only prac tical condition on which that information is to be got, and therefore it refuses to receive, that information itself. But, "We asked for the names of. the witnesses," said the Chairman of the Committee. Why, certainly you could not do less. If an accuser declares he has witnesses, a Committee must in decency profess itself ready to admit them. But to ask for the witnesses, and to exclude at the same time an efficient examination of them, is a poor, ambi guous course to take. As Mr. Vernon Smith remarked, a Committee ought to catch at information, and take every means to procure the development of the truth. The bare material of evidence, as everybody who has been in a court of justice knows, is nothing without the power to open and lay it out. Whitt the Committee have done in the present instance has been to express their readiness to admit a quan tity of witnesses corporeally within their Committee-room. What is to be got out of them when they are there they leave to chance. They cannot examine them themselves, and they will not allow the person who can do so. They are willing, however, to have a certain number of individuals sent up and then sent down again. So much for the zeal for information manifested by a House of Commons' Committee. They just save their bacon—they just do not actually refuse evidence, and that is all that can be said.—Times. VALUABLE LEASEHOLD HOUSES, UPPER STAMFORD STREET, BLACKFRIARS-ROAD.

SIR,—In your capacity of a journalist, perhaps the follow ing statement of the condition of the agricultural labourers in the counties of Hereford, Monmouth, Gloucester, and Ox ford, may not be unacceptable. It would be as well to give a statement of the present rate of wages, as in the course of two or three weeks the harvest time will commence, and a different rate of wages will appear ; but s uc h as I shall now state is now, and has been, the rate of wages since the last autumn.

I look upon the county of Hereford as one of the finest in England, and it is a boast of the natives that it will produce everything necessary for the. wants of man. Now I find, upon strict inquiry at four different parts of this rich and fer tile county, that the labouring man cannot earn more than 7s. per week, with an allowance only of two quarts of cider per day. On my journey to Hereford last October, I asked a farmer (a distant relative of my own) what he considered the labourers were getting on an average. His answer WAS in the following terms :—" They will tell you here that they are getting 7s. per week, but I will bet any man 1001. that I go into the Hereford market to-morrow (Saturday), and pro cure any quantity of labourers necessary for working a farni of 500 acres at ss. per week."

At Ragland, in Monmouthshire (one of the best farmed parishes in the county), I inquired of a farmer whom I have known for many years the rate of wages in the neighbour hood. He said we talk about 7s. a week and an° allowance of cider, but the fact is we can get them at any price, there is such a superabundance of labour. In the neighbourhood of Cirencester and Northleach I find that the rate of wages are about the same as those I have mentioned, but in one parish, situated between the above named towns, there are 250 people out of employ. In the neighbourhood of Bicester (Oxon), I am assured, upon good authority, that wages will not average more than 6s. 6d. per week ; and on Tuesday last thirty-five able-bodied labourers marched through the town of Bicester, on their way to the union at Lanton. In Northamptonshire wages are better, but this may be at= tributed to a branch of manufacture which runs through the county; but there are an immense quantity of hands unem ployed, and who are suffering great privations. I make no comment upon the above state of things; further than the re ply of a customer of mine in the town of Thrapstone, who, upon an observation of mine as to the state of the agricultu ral labourers, said, " Sir, they are broken-hearted." A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. ADUTERATION OF GUANO.—We have already as serted that gain() is often an abominable mixture of all sorts of brown ingredients that are worthless. Here is the ana lysis of some which a near-sighted gentleman purchased lately at 121. a ton. It contained one-half per cent. of am monia, not a trace of urea, minute quantities of alkaline sulphates and phosphates of lime; in short, the largest esti mates that could be made of the real guano present in the sample amounted to three per cent., including feathers, which, however, appeared to have belonged to sparrows and phea sants. On the other hand, there were 50 per cent. of stones and yellow earth. In this case the buyer was near-sighted indeed, for this guano cost him nearly four hundred pounds a ton. These. must be famous times for farmers, when manure can be bought at such a price. A quantity of guano sold at Manchester has been found to contain seventy-five per cent. of brickdust ; another sort from Derby shire contained ten per cent. of sawdust and six per cent. of clay; and another Derbyshire specimen was doctored with ground bark to the extent of twelve per cent. Really, with such facts staring us in the face at every turn of the road, it is most incomprehensible why farmers will not throw themselves into the.hands of the chemist, who alone can help them. We are urged to publish the names of the people who are swindling the country in this manner. Per haps we may. But that will never abate such enormous evils as we have now described. Farmers must look to them selves, and get their manures analysed before they buy them, or they must purchase under warrranty, as they do with their horses.—Agricultural Gazette.

MONANCE.—A few days ago a boat's crew of our enterprising nautics captured a sea-eagle--a creature never before witnessed by our oldest fishermen. This rare marine prodigy had made a hapless plunge beyond its pro vince on a catering expedition, and in its aquatic gambols became entangled in the meshes of a turbot-net, when in stinct, craft, and energy, entirely failed to effect a release from its inglorious bondage. The 'computed length of this tenant of the deep was about four feet from the one extreme to the other; it had a brace of piercing eyes, and a pair of Jerusalem wings, with which it plied in the fathomless abyss of the ocean, as its nominal relative traverses the aerial re gions of infinitude.

The Court was crowded during the hearing of this case by persons connected with the theatrical profession. The insolvent's petition was opposed by Mr. Nicholls, on behalf of the proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre, and. by Mr. Crouch, on the part of Mr. Pitcher. He was sup ported by Messrs. Cooke and Woodruffe. Mr. BURGESS, Solicitor to the Committee of Drury lane Theatre, stated that the insolvent rented the saloon in this theatre for 400/ per annum, having the privilege of selling books, bills, fruit, &c. The rent was to be payable half-yearly, and in July, 1842, he owed rent to the amount of 2501., and when applied to for payment he replied, that the alteration in the rules and customs of the theatre, introduced by Mr. Macready, in prohi biting females of a certain class from frequenting the saloon had so far lessened the receipts and profits of the saloon that be was quite unable to pay so high a rent. Although the 'Committee had refused to take 6001 a year for the saloon, they consented to take 100/ out of the 2501., and release him from his engagement, but the insolvent would not accede to this proposal, and an ac tion being brought by the proprietors the insolvent put them to 1001. costs by vexatiously defending it. Cross-examined by Mr. COOKE—Mr. Macready de prived the insolvent of many of the privileges which he possessed previous to that gentleman becoming lessee of the theatre. Mr. Macready also reduced the number of acting nights from 200 to 116, and then, of course, the insolvent must have suffered. He had also forbidden the admission of females of loose character, and had fixed a reduced rate of prices for the refreshments served in the saloon. The Committee had nothing to do with these arrangements. There was also a Sub-Committee, con sisting of four members and a chairman. The Earl of Glengall was the chairman of. this Committee, and the members Sir W. Curtis and Messrs. Ramsbottom, Allen, and Cabbell. The insolvent's family had rented the saloon for upwards of twenty years, during which time they had paid to the proprietary nearly 20,000/ Mr. Pitcher's opposition rested upon the insolvent having employed him to defend the action brought by the proprietors of the theatre, and having vexatiously defended an action brought to recover the incidental law costs. Mr. COOKE having addressed the court, in favour of ;he insolvent. Mr. Commissioner LAW 'said the insolvent had no right to complain of harsh treatment on the part of the proprietors of Drury -lane Theatre. In the case of Mr. Pitcher a gross fraud had been committed. In the pre sent stage of the proceedings he should adjourn the case, in order that the schedule which was now very imper fect, might be amended. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 18. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN Tun DA-NKRUPTCY OF CHAMBERS AND CO., LATE OF BOND STREET, BANKERS. This day was fixed for taking an audit in this extraordi nary case, which has been for the last twenty years promi nently placed before the public, both before this Court and every other Court of Law in Westminster, and is even now awaiting the decision of an appeal to the House of Lords as to the right of sale in the assignees of the Italian Opera House. The commission was dated in November, 1824, and since that period Mr. Chambers, sen., has been the inmate of the Fleet Prison, while his accomplished daughter was compelled to support herself by the public exertion of her talents. Mr. Hamilton to -day attended for the assignees, and put in a statement of the bankrupts' affairs, the receipts and pay ments from the c ommencement of the bankruptcy in 1824 : The payments on account of the Opera House include up wards of 20,000/. for improvements and substantial repairs, 18,0001. for fines on renewal of leases, and between 12,0001. and 13,000/. on account of the purchase money. The property of the bankrupts now consists of— The Opera-house (subject to a claim by Mr. Wa ters to an annuity of 250/., the arrears of which, with the redemption price (5,0000, amount to about 13,0001.), valued at Estate at Chettle The Enfield property has been sold for 6,2001, to three-fifths of which the assignees are entitled, which, after deducting expenses, will amount to 3,50 , 1 Whetstone and Northam 2,000 Four-fifths of a moiety of some property in Kent 2,500 Supposed balance on the settlement of accounts between Mr. Chambers and Mr. Waters, under a decree of the Court of Chancery, the pro ceedings in which are suspended by the appeal now pending in the House of Lords, in which judgment is expected to be given this session Funds in the Court of Bankruptcy .•• £lOO,OOO 30,000 30,000 18,900 Total supposed assets (subject to the above claim) £186,900 The debts proved and to be proved against the joint estate amount to (about) Ditto against the separate estate of Mr. Chambers, the elder The Learned Gentleman now stated that he wished to call the attention of the Court to an item which was also some what involved in the bankruptcy of Messrs. Wright, the bankers—namely, a charge for warehousing some 5,000 or 10,000 books, although of that immense number only 100 could be of the slightest possible use ; and he, on behalf of Chambers' assignees, objected to the payment of so much rent. He had suggested that those useless books should be thrown at once into the river Thames, but the official assig nees had not the courage to do so. The official assignee (Mr. Groom)—l certainly had not the courage. Mr. Commissioner Houtprn—There must be some plan obtained in which to deposit them. HAMILTON thought that only St. Paul's Churchyard would be large enough to hold them. Mr. Commissioner Houtovri--The question of a place for the deposit of bankrupts' books and papers is now before the Lord Chancellor, and will, I trust, be speedily brought to some determination, as it is undoubtedly one of considerable importance. Mr. Hamilton said he could not understand the utility of preserving useless books and papers in bankruptcy, perhaps so far back as the year 1703 ; but to revert to Chambers' affairs, as there were now several creditors in attendance, they might probably wish to know how it happened that no dividend had been yet declared, either upon the joint or separate estate, and hence, upon the part of the assignees, he was now ready to explain the larger items in the state ment which he had just presented for their information, though, at the same time, that could only have been offered to them in round numbers. Great difficulties had occurred in the sale and purchase of the Opera House, which formed by far the largest asset in the list. The Opera House, then, was origioally to have been purchased from Mr. Waters for 80,0001., but before being completed by Mr. Chambers, he became a bankrupt. I n th e year 18 29, bill s were filed in Chancery to compel the purchase and sale, a decree was obtained, but a difficulty arose, as Mr. Waters then resided in France, and the assignees could not make a good title. Mr. Waters, however, dying in 1839, a portion of that difficulty was obviated, and three new assignees were chosen. A. conditional contract for its sale for 10 0 , 0001 . was made by them, but another difficulty arose from the circumstance of Mr. 'Wa ters' representative then residing in France, when the assig nees felt themselves authorised to offer him 5,0001. for his ; but subsequently it was his demise lodged an ap p o s eu s a i ni s d t a thatngca n Hst irt perfectingh Waters before his before the House of ' Lords, and which was still found e i . edecreeh t ai h dn e t c it h l a e pending the decision of their Lordships. The intended purchasers were then advised to relinquish their intention—the negotiation was immediately broken off, and the issue was only now awaiting the judg ment of the Lord Chancellor, which he (Mr. llamilton) had every reason to believe would be in favour of the assignees ; and if that were so, and no other difficulty should arise, then a very large item would come to the credit of the estate. After going through some other details, he said the total assets were then, as he had before stated, 186,9001., subject, however, to a possible reduction of about 13,000/. ; and if MAJORITY-NOES, 141.

We extract the following official dispatches from he Messager of Wednesday : BIARSHAL BUGEAUD, GOVERNOR •GENERAL OF AFRICA, TO THE MINLSTER OF WAR " Bivouac of Oaed Isly, near the mouth of the Oued Mouilah, July 3, 1844. "Monsieur le Marechal,—l cannot inform you better of the combat of the 3d July, than by sending you a copy of the letter that I have written to his Royal Highness the Prince Joinville. It will tell you all that I could have stated in a direct report. " MARSILiL BUGEAUD TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE. "Bivouac on the Oued Isly, near the mouth of the Oued Mouilah, July 3, 1844. " Monseigneur,—ln my letter of the Ist of July, I stated that I was advancing on the Upper Mouliah, in order to favour the return of a large fraction of the Augades, the chief of whom had come into my camp the day before, in order to negotiate about his submission and his return. The point of the river where I pitched my camp, bears the name of Oued Isly. "The Moorish camp, which was two leagues thence, came on to me, and established itself at two cannon 'ranges, in a way which seemed provisional. In the course of the day, some eclaireurs of the enemy came and fired on our out-posts. Their fire was not slackened ; a few horsemen of our Augades having approached the camp, I sent some of our Arabs to converse with them, and ascertain whether the movement agreed to was being effected. They proved arrogant and boastful, and said that the Moorish Chief having been apprised of the intercourse they had had with us, he had made the tribe go back to the mountains. " They added that, whether we retired or marched on, a combat would take place next day; that the Moors had re ceived a reinforcement of 1,200 men of cavalry under the command of Scheriffe Mamoun, and of 1,000 men of infantry commanded by ilarnida, the old kaid of Ouchda; and that if we were conquerors they would submit. I had not the in tention of marching forward. "Early this morning I retired in good order of combat to the cavalry ; the eclaireurs of the enemy soon commenced the fire with my rear-guard ; those horse tirailleurs were successively reinforced and formed in a short time a large arc of a circle, which embraced a part of my light and left echelons ; the bulk of the enemy's troops advanced slowly ; they did not seem determined to fight, but were desirous, as would appear, to give us so very serious an accompaniment which would have been celebrated as a victory. " When I stopped, the enemy also stopped. This sort of work continued for a league and a half. Not wishing to leave the Moors a moral advantage which theY would have turned to great account with their co-religionnaires, I decided on assuming the offensive, and soon after we drove before us all those undisciplined horsemen. "That of the enemy has been so dispersed by our offensive movement, that their superior numbers were no longer to be apprehended. Nevertheless, I supported . our Chasseurs and Spahes with the principal part of the infantry, without its haversacks, leaving the rest to guard the baggage and the sacks. Our cavalry advanced beyond Ouchdah, which was on our left. It only found horsemen Eying before us in every direction. Several were killed, and we captured a few horses, but we met no infantry. "Perhaps there was some mistake when we thought we saw them, or perhaps they had taken the left, to reach the gardens of Ouchda, and the dust had prevented us from per ceiving them. The enemy having entirely disappeared in every part of the borizon, I marched my troops back to the camp of the town, where I was encamped this morning at eleven o'clock. "This'fight has had very little material results, because the whole of the enemywould not stand, and we had only to face their cavalry; but it certainly has given us a very con siderable moral advantage. We have once more proved to the Moors that we do not fear a war with them, and that they are utterly incapable of gaining a serious battle over us. " I had • several chiefs from the province of Oran in my camp at the time, who bad come to visit me on their own accord. They will now return to the interior, and tell with . 1 what a degree of sans film we treat the Moors, and this LAW AND POLICE. At Northampton, on Wednesday, William Gardner, aged 52, was capitally . convicted of having, on the 18th of March, set fire, in the night, to the house of William Hollier, in the parish of, Chacomb, there being no less than six persons therein asleep in their beds. Sentence of death was recorded. At Huntingdon, Samuel Baxter, a respectable little boy, aged 10 years, and not unlike the celebrated General Tom Thumb, having pleaded guilty to a charge of firing four straw stacks, the property of Robert Daintree, of Hetningford Ab bots, on the 11th May, was sentenced to be transported for 15 years. William Wilson, the driver of a Merton omnibus, was charged before Mr. Cottingham, at Union-hall Police-court, with committing an assault of an aggravated nature on Miss Hannah Murrell, residing at N'o. 30, Mornington-crescent, Hampstead-road. The complainant entered the wrong ve hicle, and the defendant would not allow her to leave it with out payment. She attempted to leave, and the assault was then committed. Mr. Cottingham inflicted a fine on Wil son, the driver, of 31. and costs for the assault on Miss Mur rell, and adjudged Steel, the conductor, to enter into his re cognisance in 1001., and find two sureties of 501., each to ap pear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, in order to give the complainant an opportunity of indicting him for perjury in giving his evidence, a step which he strongly advised her to adopt. At the same Court, Henry Shepherd, the driver of a Car shalton omnibus, was charged with furiously driving and endangering the lives of the passengers. Mr. Cottingham, instead of inflicting a fine, which would be easily paid, said he should commit the defendant for a month to hard labour. A person named Simon Simmons, who had been appre hended at North Shields, was charged at Lambeth-street with uttering two forged acceptances, purporting to be those of Samuel Abraham, the one for 29/. 10e., and the other for 451., and also defrauding several tradesmen to a very consi derable amount. Several cases were gone into, and the pri soner was remanded to a future day, when it is expected that several new charges will be brought against him, his trans actions being enormously extensive. - COTTNT-P4SBIONL&BIAL The Duchess of Gloucester honoured the Marquis and Mar chioness of Ailesbury with her company to dinner on Thurs day evening at the family mansion in Grosvenor-square, where the following guests who had been honoured with in vitations to meet her Royal Highness had already assembled : —The Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, the Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, the Marquis of Granby, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementine Villiers, the Earl and Countess of Shannon, the Earl.and Countess olliinnoul, Viscount and Viscountess Newport, Lord Forester, Lord Foley and the Hon.

A public meeting of the subscribers to the proposed hos tel for Marylebone and Paddington was held on Thursday. ur. Tatham, the secretary, announced that the - Bishop of London, Mr. Thistlethwayte, and the other trustees of the ?addington estate, had given a piece of land near the reser voir of the West Middlesex Waterworks Company for a site for the proposed hospital; and that Mr. Thistlethwayte had made a donation of 1,0001., in addition to a previous donation of 1001. The value of the land was estimated at 2,000/., so that there is now only wanting about 1,200 1 . to complete the r equired sum of 15,0001. The amount of annual sub scribers, in addition to the subscriptions, for the establishment of the institution, already exceeds 4001. The removal of the -body of Weber from the chapel in Moorfields has at length been definitively decided upon. It is to be given over to the charge of Weber's eldest son, now in this country, and will be transported to Hamburgh, and from thence by the Elbe to Dresden.

A meeting was held on Thursday in the Vestry-room of Christchurch, Blackfriars-road, for the purpose of proposing three ninepenny rates for the three ensuing quarters. Mr- Churchwarden Hellen in the chair. Mr. Ilawkins, overseer,. said, in excuse for the increased rate, that the parish was in debt when he and his colleague came into office, and that up wards of 1,9001. would be required, including over 1,000/. to the Poor-law Guardians, 7501. to meet a police-rate, a nd the remainder for salaries to parish officers. After muchl suer, the'ninepenny rate was agreed to. ADELPIII.—Mr. Webster took formal possession of this theatre on Saturday ; it will be opened in September.

L CURE BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—Edward White, residing at No. 45,, Clement's-lane, Strand, was an in-door patient at King's. College Hospital, for an abscess in the thigh, and a. wound, nine inches long, on the same limb. He could neither bend his knee nor put his foot to the ground. He remained at the hospital five months in bed, when he was informed "that nothing more could be done for him." He was then carried to his home, and commenced using the above invaluable medicines. He can now walk about all the day long ; but, to complete the cure, he still uses the remedies.

Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any deviation of equable temperature, will find in Rowland s Kalydor a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispel ling the cloud of langour from the complexion, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the akin. The distressing and unsightly varieties of cutaneous eruptions are also promptly eradicated by the Kalydor. Spots, pimples, freckles, discolourations, and sallowness, yield to its specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smoothness and transparency of the skin, giving rise to sensations of the utmost pleasure and surprise. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title of " Genuine" Kalydor to some compounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, con taining mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits !I ! We understand that the new Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Lord Heytesbury, accompanied by his private secre tary, Mr. Henry A'Court, who lately held that appointment under Lord Eliot, will leave town on Thursday next, the 25th inst., for Dublin Castle, vid Liverpool.
