MAGAZINE DAY. BLACK WOOD'S MAGAZINE. The decline and fall of party rancour are the most re markable symptoms of the present time, and in no pub lications are these symptoms more manifest than in the monthly periodicals, devoted originally to literature and amusing tales, but up to the accession of the Peel Minis try, generally ending with a violent dissertation on the politics of one party or another in the State. Since Peel's reign commenced, the writers have found it a most difficult task to put the political engine in motion. They could not get up the steam for want of fuel, and latterly, so scanty has been the supply, one party article in the course of three months has been reckoned a fair average for the market. Even that amount, North, with all his strong Tory principles, could not furnish. Others have been more productive, but perhaps to less purpose, for what with a wish to blame, or to praise, the conduct of the Minister, and a want of power to discern the ob jects of his policy, they have not unfrequently been com pelled to unsay in one article the arguments which they had put forth with much gravity and assurance in another. These are the natural results of the present state of parties. Peel has confounded Whigs and Tories. His old friends occasionally write against him, but they write without hope. They have no other idol to substi tute in his plate, a sort of interregnum exists, and they trust to the chapter of accidents for a new leader, and a better state of things. The Whigs, the Liberals, and the moderate Conservatives, and all the other sections, if we except the thorough-going Radical, have no reason to find fault. The two first, in fact, can only complain that they are not allowed to work, for they cannot say that their work is not done. They have been shoved from their places by their skilful adversaries who have tAltai up their trade, and now carry on the firm, as diTnathan would say, under a new name, but with more enterprise, and a great deal more capital. These rea sons sufficiently explain the absence of those angry dis cussions which were formerly appended to the literary dissertations in the Magazines. Blackwood has, how ever, contrived to infuse a little Tory policy into the present number by reverting to events now neatly half a century old. He has gone back to the time of Pitt and the French Consulate, and the partition of Poland. "Marston, or the Memoirs of a Statesman," has for months been rather a heavy and prosy production, but it has been imbued with fresh vigour by the astonishing events which it describes, and we are glad to find owes that vigour, not so much to the violence of Tory prepos sessions, or to selfish attacks on the policy of the Whigs during the long reign of Church and State principles, as to a generous and catholic spirit in the cause of freedom, and a sincere regret that the man of the age sacrificed Poland, and threw away countless blessings which he might have conferred on mankind, to gratify his boundless and wicked ambition. The following extract will bear out our remarks _ _ " The partition of Poland was the most comprehensive and audacious crime of the modern world. It was a deliberate in sult, at once to the laws of nations and to the majesty of the great Disposer of nations. And never fell vengeance more immediate, more distinct, or more characteristic. The capital of Austria twice entered over the bodies of its gallant sol diery ; Russia ravaged and Moscow burnt ; the Prussian army extinguished by the massacre of Jena, and Prussia in a day fettered for years—were the summary and solemn retribution of Heaven. But, when the penalty was paid, the fate of the executioner instantly followed. Guilt had punished guilt, and justice was to be alike done upon all. Napoleon and his em ?ire vanished, as the 'powder vanishes that explodes the mine. The ground was broken up; the structures of royalty on its surface were deeply fractured; the havoc was complete ; but the fiery deposit which had effected the havoc was itself scat tered into air. .‘ His re-establishment of Poland would have been an act of grandeur. It would have established a sew character for the vileale Reielution. It would have shown that the new s pirit which had gone forth summoning the world to regenera tion, was itself regeneration ; that it was not a tempter, but a roiturer ; that all conquest was not selfish, and all protestation not meant to deceive. If Napoleon had given Poland a di.ulem, and placed it on the brow of Kosciusko, he would, in that act, have placed on his own a diadem which no chance of field could have plucked away; an imperishable and diattieg answer to all the calumnies of his age, and all the doubts of posterity. He might even have built, in the re storation of the fallen kingdom, a citadel for his own security in ail the casualties of empire; but, in all events, he would have fixed in the political beanie' a star which, to the last re colixction of mankind, would have thrown light on his sepul dire, end borne his name." Pi the cline article is a brief allusion to the death of Pitt, in whia:h we heartily concur. "It was said," says tle , writer, " that Pitt, died of a broken heart, in despair of the peoerects of England. The defeat ef Austerlitz was pronoUnceil !iis death blow. What thoughts may cluster round the pillow who shall tell ? But no man know England better—none had a bolder faith in her p e rseverance and principle—none had more broadly laid the foundations of victory in national honour. I shell sever be driven into the belief that William Pitt (I, s paired of his country." Yes—who can tell what ttoughts may cluster round the sleepless pillow ? Dis ease of body produces awful changes in the mind. The hand of death unnerves the strongest spirit, yet there are men of tho present day, vainly calling themselves British historian', who attribute the words " 0 my country" (we believe they were never uttered), to the emayletions of a rational mind, and, with a want of na tional spirit, rendered only . more disgraceful by repeat ing the re veries of the dying, encourage the French in their vat''-glorious boastings, that Bonaparte had not only killed but subdued the spirit of his country men. Pitt never t.';'guaired of England. . North still continues his ‘, Specimens,:.`f the British Critics, " and in the present series has enlivened tliOn e little by a viru lent attack on the post Churchill, the friei;`. l Of I,l' ilkes. Had it been les coarse, it would have been more effec tive. His character is thus summed up :—" Ho left his profession, the Church ; and he exchanged his wife, af ter many years' cohabitation, for a mistress ; two para mount desperations unhappily met. And the trumpet tall to the war-field of patriotism sings but uncheeringly when the blast is winded by the breath of Wilkes." COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY. The mom', valuable article in this Number, perhaps should not be far wrong in saying, the most valuable Magazine article of the month, is the one entitled " Con f. scions of a Water Patient, by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Bart." It appears that sixteen years of wear an I tear in the literary, political, and fashionable world, had completely upset the physical well being of Sir Ed ward—that for years he never had passed twelve hours without pain or illness—that his constitution was, in to it, completely shattered. Various physicians pre scribed various remedies—he tried them all. He tra velled, he retired to the seaside and lived quiet, still his suff,rings continued unalleviated, and gastric irritation rendered his life wretched. At length he was induced to try the cold water cure, and went to Malvern, where lie nI iced himself under the care of Dr. Wilson, of whom and of his establishment he speaks in the highest terms. A two months' course of hydropathy nearly restored him to health, He was called away to Germany. On his journey he took cold, fever came on. Fortunately he was near the hydropathio establishment of De Schmidt, tit Boppart, to which he was conveyed, and under cold water treatment he recovered in two days. He is now in h.tter health than he has been for years, and he at tributes his recovery entirely to cold water. The use of the wet sheet has always been represented by anti- hy dropathi,ts as most dangerous ; according to Sir Ed war,i's account, it must be the mildest of remedies. It is in fact a very gentle continuous vapour bath, not attended with the danger of the cold effusion so strenuously recommended by the late Dr. Currie in cases of fever, e, , 1.1 infinitely more efficacious, as its action may with 'safety be kept up for any length of time. Every new remedy suffers, perhaps, more from the exaggerations of unrew;iiing bel•evers than from the attacks of the sceptical. It is therefore no small advantage to have the opinion of such a man as Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton on the capabilities of hydropathy, more especially when that opinion is founded on personal experience and close observation. The subject is one of such vast im portance that we offer no apology for the length of the ibllowing extract. 4 . It remains for me to say, merely as an observer, and solely with such authority as an observer altogether disinterested, but without the least pretence to professional science, may fairly claim, what class of diseases I have seen least, and what most, tractable to the operations of the water cure, and how far en thusiasts appear to me to have over-estimated, how far sceptics have under-valued, the effects of water as a medicament. There are those (most of the water doctors especially) who &intend that all medicine by drags is unnecessary—that water internally and outwardly applied suffices in skilful management for all. complaints—that the time will come when the drug doctor will cease to receive a fee, when the apothecary will close his shop, and the water cure be adopted in every hospital and by every family. Dreams and absurdities! Even grant ing that the water cure were capable of all the wonders ascribed to it, its process is so slow in chronic cases—it usually eequires such complete abstraction from care and business—it takes the active man so thoroughly out of his course of life, that a vast proportion of those engaged in worldly pursuits cannot hope to find the requisite leisure. There are also a krge number of co m p laints ( p erhaps the majority) which yield so easily to a sparing use of drugs under a moderately tcompe tent practitioner, that the convenient plan of sending o the next chemist for your pill or potion can never be superseded, nor can I think it desirable that it should be. Moreover, as far as I have seen, there are complaints curable by medicine which the water cure utterly fails to reach. " The disorders wherein hydropathy appears to me to be least effectual are, first neuralgic pains, especially the monster pain of the tic doloreux. Not one instance of a cure in the latter by hydrop,thy has come under my own observation, and I have only heard of one authentic case of recovery from it by that process. Secondly, paralysis of a grave character in per sons of an advanced age. Thirdly, in tubercular consump tion. As may be expected, in this stage of that melancholy disease, the water cure utterly fails to restore, but I have known it even here prolong life, beyond all reasonable calcula tion, and astonishingly relieve the more oppressive symptoms. In all cases where the nervous exhaustion is great and of long standing, and is accompanied with obstinate hypochondria, hydropathy, if successful at all, is very slow in its benefits, and the patience of the sufferer is too often worn out before the levee-able turn takes place. I have also noticed that obstinate and t o yin maladies, in persons of very athletic frames, seem to much more tardily to the water cure than similar complaints in us2re delicate constitutions, so that you will often see of two perso:''s afflicted by the same genera of cora cle one recover before the stout plaints, the feeble and traZ man with Atlantic shoulders evinces one symptom of amelioration. water cure " Those cises, on the other hand, in which the s eems an absolute panacea , and in which the patient m 2 .7 com mence with the most sanguine hopes , are , first , rheumatisni, how ever prolonged, however complicated. In this the cure is usually rapid—nearly always permanent. Secondly, gout. Here its etlincy is little less startling to appearance than in the former case; it seems to take up the disease by the roots ; it extracts the peculiar acid, which often appears in discolora tions upon the sheets used in the application, or is ejected in other modes. lipt here, judging always from cases subjected to my personal keowledge, I have not seen instances to justify the assertion of some water doctors, that returns of the disease do not occur. The predisposition—the tendency, has ap peared to me to remain. The patient is liable to relapses—but I have invariably found them far less frequent, less lengthened, and readily susceptible of simple and speedy cure, especially if the habits remain temperate. " Thirdly,. that wide and grisly family of affliction classed under the common name of dyspepsia. All derangements of the digestive organs, imperfect powers of nutrition—the malaise of an injured stomach, appear precisely the complaints THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY - EVENING. - SE on which the system takes firmest hold, and in which it effects those cures that convert existence from a burden into a b!e.,s ing. Hence it follows that many nameless and countless com plaints proceeding from derangement of the stomach, cease as that great machine is restored to order. I have seen disorders of the heart which have been pronounced organic by the learned authorities of the profession, disappear in an incredibly short time—cases of incipient consumption, in which the seat is in the nutritious powers ; hemorrhages, and various con gestions, shortness of breath, habitual fainting fits, many of what are called, improperly, nervous complaints, but which, in reality, are radiations from the main ganglionic spring; the disorders produced by the abuse of powerful medicines, es pecially mercury ard iodine, the lost of appetite, the dulled sense, and the shaking hand of intemperance, skin complaints, and the dire scourge of scrofula—all these seem to obtain from hydropathy relief—nay, absolute and unqualified cure, beyond not only the means of the most skilful drug doctor, but the hopes of the most sanguine patient." We have only space barely to allude to the other articles of the Magazine, all of which are above the average. Captain Alarryatt, Mr. James, and Mrs. Trollopc, and Dudley Costello, continue their re:pective novels. " Peter Priggit s" gives us another of his amusing illustrations of /Escp. We have an admirable sketch, entitled " The Lady Killer," and Mr. F. Ains worth continues his account of the " Banks of the Euphrates." Altogether this is an excellent Number. elusion than that, he far surpassed Cicero in generosity of mind, in daring exploits, and in manly acquire ments. Cicero, however, has the advantage in the eyes of superficial observers. His eloquent orations, which are read in every school ; his elegant taste fur literatut e, and his unsparing abuse of Antony, have raised him to a pinnacle of fame little merited by his other qualities. Antony's speeches and general character are much leis known and appreciated, and the writer, therefore, de serves praise, even at the present hour, for making them more conspicuous to the general reader. However the matter was arranged among the Triumvirs, it cannot be said that Antony proscribed Cicero. His name was placed in a different list, and possibly he would not have been proscribed at all, if Antony had been supreme dictator. So much in Antony's favour. " Yet," says " Morgan Rattler," " upon the faith of the sonorous abuse heaped by the common railer upon Antony, nine-tenths of the world are satis fied to enter up judgment of utter condemnation against him, and not this alone, but to accept his enemy as a virtuous philosopher, a pure patriot, and a sort of blessed martyr. But the truth is, that if no second philippic had been written, if not one of the fourteen philippics had been spoken, the deeds done by Cicero against Antony fully justified him, according to the doctrines and feelings of that day, in wreaking the severest vengeance on his head. Twice, at least, Antony would have been assassinated, if the advice of the gentle philo sopher had prevailed." These facts, about which there can be no doubt, and others enumerated, throw a stain on the memory of Cicero, and make the world less regret his untimely end. In fact, his own timorous, wavering, and cunning disposition brought on his fall, for had he used common diligence in making his escape. had he not lingered on the coast of Gaeta with the hope of some change taking place at Rome in his favour, he would have been allowed to leave Italy in safety. The article altogether places the merits of the two statesmen in a clear point of view, and if we except a decided bias against Cicero, perhaps not unwarranted by history, the contrast is not far from the truth. There are two other articles in the present number not less entitled to praise, one of which is entitled, " Greek and Roman domestic affairs," and the other a review of Victor Hugo's Lyrics. The former is limited to the domestic customs of the Greeks, those of the Romans being reserved for a future nnmber. It is founded chiefly on a work of Becker, a German philosopher, and gives a good idea of the manners and customs and amusements of the lively and intelligent people of Attica. Their houses, their halls, sleeping apartments, banking system, dinners, festivals, and fu neral ceremonies are amply described, and give us a much more favourable idea of Greek customs and re finements than of those which distinguished the masters of the world. The other article which we have men tioned, does justice—perhaps more than justice—to Baron Hugo, for a great many of his writings are bi low mediocrity ; those particularly which aim at flights, like those of Ariosto, without the genius and prudence which controlled the course of the elegant and fanciful Italian. Many of his lyrics, however, deserve the highest praise. Those on the rapid rise, the splendid career, and the un expected fall of Napoleon, are peculiarly spirited, and show that Victor Hugo has the real soul of a poet. We have room for only one extract, as translated by the writer, which describes the former master of Europe weeping on the barren rock of St. Helena, over the pic ture of his only child : " 'Twas not the steps of that heroic tale That from Arcola marched to Montmirail On glory's red degrees; Nor Cairo's pacha's fierce Numidian steeds Nor the tall shadows of the pyramids,— Ah ! 'twas not always these;-- " 'Twas not the bursting shell, the iron sleet, The whirldwißd rush of battle 'neath his feet, Though twice ten years ago, When, at his breath, upon that sea of steel Were launch'd the rustling banners,—there to reel Like masts when tenspests blow ; ."Twas not Madrid, nor Kremlin of the czar, Nor Pharos on old Egypt's coast afar, Nor shrill reveille's camp-awak'ning sound Nor bivouac couch'd its starry fires around, Crested dragoons, grim, veteran grenadiers, Nor the red lances 'midst a wood of spears Swarming like purple flowers among the golden ears. " 'twas an infant's image, fresh and fair, With rosy mouth half-oped, as slumbering there It lay beneath the smile Of her whose breast, soft-bending o'er its sleep, Ling'ring upon that little lip doth keep One pendant drop the while. " Then, his sad head upon his hands inclined, He wept; that father-heart all unconfined, Outpoured in love alone. My blessing on thy clay-cold head, poor child ! Sole being for whose sake his thoughts, beguiled, Forgot the world's lost throne." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SALISBURY RACES.-FRIDAY. Her Majesty's plate of 100 guineas. Three miles.

COBURG, AUG. 26.—T0-day is the anniversary of the birth of Prime Albert, and an occasion so interest'ne• to the wit .le of the family circle of royal personage; who are ass. stabled here, has been celebrated in a style of simplicity and friendly mutuality of enjoyment be tween Court and people, that is delightfully characteris tic of German manners. The Palace of Rosenau was the scene, and the kind of paternal rule which seems to preval here has not been more exemplified during the whole of the Queen's visit than on this occasion. It ap pears to he the custom, on such anniversaries as these, for the reigning Duke to entertain his subjects in various ways, with dancing, music, and other more substantial festivities. This afforded a capital opportunity fur exhibit ing to the Queen some of the peculiar customs and habsts of the people, just as she was gratified the other day at the feast of Gregorius. After the usual breakfast in the open air, the Queen, Prince Albert, the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Grand Duke of Baden, the Duke of Saxe Coburg, and Princes too numerous to mention, carne round to another front of the palace, op posite which is an extensive lawn, enclosed in the most * xquisite flowers and foliage. Presently there emerged from one of the leafy avenues a gay troop of villagers, all in their best holiday dresses, the men wearing large nosegays in their hats, which also were wrapped round with the most singular looking handkerchiefs in the brightest colours. Each man led a peasant girl, flaunting gaily in the picturesque costume of the country—the neat little jacket of red, green, or blue, the short skirt of black stuff, striped or variegated with the most brilliant colours, and, topping all, the grotesque coiffure which is peculiar to the women about this part of Germany, half cap half turban, with a profusion of long black ribands suspended from a bright gilt ornament let into the top of the cap, which hang down the back or float in the wind. Their faces, brown with exposure to the air and ruddy with healthful toil, were now lit up joyously to the merry strains of national music which burst forth from a band stationed at one end of the garden, and in a few moments, at a signal from the Duke of Coburg, the whole of this gay party were whirling round the lawn in the gayest pos sible waltz. It was a pretty and heart-stirring sight, and the people enjoyed it so ! Not the people only, but also a long line of Queens, Kings, Dukes, Duchesses, and lords and ladies, of whom our own Queen was the centre and the most delighted of them all, if a merry laugh and joyous face are any proofs of true pleasure. Nor were these the only spectators. True to the practice of this country—where nothing is shut in from the publ'c eye, and all seems one large successien of parks and gardens, - so impossible is it to detect any boundaries, groups of people, either from Coburg or from the neigh bouring villages, the highest and the lowest mingled trustfully and friendlike in one mutual enjoyment, were to be seen at different angles of the lawn, not 20 yards from the Queen, or in the garden under the very windows of the palace. 'I he Prince and the peasant stood side by side, all heartily participating in the same merry, Laughing pastime The Queen, as has been said, appearsd to be de lighted at so novel a sight. Sometimes, in the intervals ce the dance, her Maresty or the Queen of the Belgians would call one of the peasant girls and talk with her, praising her dancing, or perhaps her dress, and the maiden thus honoured of course became an object of intense envy to the rest. One or two of the most handsome, and who wore the most picturesque dresses, were selected and detained at the palace as subjects for sketching—a distinction of which they seemed not a little proud. After this pretty scene had Lasted mere than an hour, the whole troop filed off again by the way they came, to the music of their own rustic band, anu not forgetting, as they threaded their way through the park, to treat their royal visitors to a series of final shouts or screams, which, to say truth, smacked somewhat of Ojibbeway joy. Lest night tne Queen and the whole of the Court here again attended the theatre. The entertainment was Cuizkye's comedy, entitled, " Zopf und &lace, t," which might be literally rendered " Queue and Swore," its object belt g to indicate the tenour of the plot, which consists of the usual struggles between a despotic mili tary monarch and those whom he desires to bend to his caprices, particularly the young and loving, who, of course, have rt course to all the little diplomacies which love teaches, in order to evade his harsh and troublesome decrees. At the close of the performance the audience, ac companied by the baud, sang a German version of " God Save the Queen," substituting for the usual words of the last two verses a complimentary farewell to the Queen of England. The r,)yal party, after leaving the theatre, pro seeded buck to Roseuau by torchlight, as on the previous visit to the theatre. They start for Gotha to-morrow (Wed• nes4lay) morning at eight o'clock, lunching at bleinin gen, and sleeping at Reinartsbrunn, a seat of the Duke's nut far from Gotha. They go on to Gotha on Thursday morning. The royal travellers will leave Gotha on their r, turn home, on the 3d proximo. They will sleep at Fulda the first night, at Wiesbaden or Frankfort the second, at k.2ologne the third, thence they will proceed by railway to Antwerp, or to whichever other port it is finally determined that they shall embark from. REINARTSBRUNN, THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 28. Her Majesty and Prince Albert have come thus far on their journey from Coburg to Gotha. Reinartsbrunn is a seat belonging to the Duke of Saxe Coburg, distant from Gotha nine or ten English miles. The royal party left Rosenau yesterday irednesday) morning, at eight o'clock, and they did not reach Reinartabrunn till half-past eight o'clock in the evening. The further progress was postponed till this af:ernoon, partly on account of the fatigue of so long a journey, and partly that her Majesty might enter Gotha by daylight. The road traverstd by the royal party yesterday was in many respects very interesting. The first place of any &ze, after leaving Coburg, is Rodach, where a very pretty triumphal arch was prepared, and the houses were very tastefuly festooned. Crowds of people assembled to see the Queen pass. At a few miles further on the territory of Saxe- Meiningen intersects that of Saxe-Coburg, and here, within a short distance of Hildburghausen, on the top of a hill commanding a fine view, the authorities of Meiningen were drawn up to receive her Majesty on her entrance into the duchy. Hildburghaustai itself exhibited a scene of great animation. The houses were all festooned, and in the principal part of the town the children were all drawn up by the road side—the girls dressed in white with ivy wreaths; and these, together with a body of the burgher guard (a peacef u l-l oo ki ng body of soldiers), and an immense crowd of people, greeted the royal party as they passed through. At other places on the road, a great part of which runs amongst the 'Thuringian Forest, and ctinmands some very ti ne mountain and pine forest scenery, there were similar preparations, and particularly at Saxe-Meiningen, where the royal party stopped and lunched with the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Meiniugen. They start from this place for Gotha this afternoon at three o'clock. PTEMB.E R GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP. BOSTON, AUG. 15.—This monster vessel saf.ly ar rived in the Bay of New York on the afternoon of Sun day, the 10th of August, after a passage of fourteen days and twenty-one hours. She was telegraphed at noon, but she was not positively known by the public gene rally to be near till about two o'clock, when thousands upon thousands of the New Yorkers proceeded in conti nued streams towards every spot from which a view of her might be obtained. For two or three days previous to her arrival false ru mours of her approach had been given, and some anxiety on Sunday morning began to be felt respecting her. Many supposed, and indeed it was so stated by the public press, that she would not sail from England until the second week in August, but all these uncertainties were dissipated by her appearance off Sandy Hook. Sunday is a great day with the New Yorkers for pro menading Broadway, and for taking excursions down the bay ; but the expectation created of seeing the far and wide renowned iron-ship, whose Bristol parturition was so difficult, and about which there has been such a multiplicity of opinions, made the banks of the river the only place of resort. I was sitting iu a friend's parlour, in Brooklyn, when about half past two o'clock I saw her smoke from my window, and immediately proceeded to the " heights," whence the panoramic view of New York city, the East River, and the Bay is exceedingly fine ; there I had the first view of the Great Britain. A regular New York August sun was pouring down almost intolerable heat, and the water gleamed like mol ten silver. Amongst a fleet of small steamers and river craft was the" big ship," a Triton amongst the minnows. She was approaching the battery, and seemed to be steering for the North River, but when she had shown herself to the thousands who thronged the promenade by the. Castle garden—perhaps the most magnificent city promenade in the world—she turned as on a pivot, and slowly steamed over to the Brooklynshore, and then passed gracefully below the Heights, which, together with the Gowanns shores, the masts of shipping, the tops of houses, and, indeed, every spot which commanded a view of the river, were crowded. She then went on slowly to her wharf, at the foot of Clinton-street, where she was moored in safety. It was not until she got opposite the Battery that her great size made any impression on the spectators. As she passed the North Carolina man-of-war her great length was apparent, but I did not think she looked very elegant with her six low masts. The graceful rig of the American vessels is well known, and the Great Britain contrasted unfavourably in the opinion of many. Ne vertheless she was heartily welcomed, although there was no cheering ; the day forbade any demonstration of the kind. In five minutes Broadway was deserted ; young - and old, rich and poor, all flocked towards Atlantic-wharf, and the greatest difficulty was found in preserving order. A few accidents occurred, but none of a serious nature. As the ship entered the harbour she was gaily dressed with colours, which streamed from each of her masts. At the gaff, the large union flag of England floated gaily in the breeze ; the first mast had the Austrian flag ; the second mast the Russian ; the third, the Spanish ; the fourth, the French:tricolour : the:main, the union jack ; at the foremast, a blended flag of England and America, the stars of the latter country blending with the blue, white, and red of the union of England, and at the lower quartering the stripes. Some of the papers the next morning, with the usual American sensitive ness, came out pretty strong on Captain Hoskin, for not having displayed the American flag (they had not noticed the flag I have just mentioned), and expressed a great deal about the intended insult, &c. It was to be wiped out with blood, and all that. This was laughable enough, and when these journals discovered their error, the exhi bition was ridiculous indeed to the rightly-thinking por tion of the community. Whilst I was mixing freely in the crowd, listening to the various opinions which were broached, I was greatly amused ; one fellow, a regular wag in his way, turned his plug scientifically, looked at the royal arms on the bows of the vessel, and said that the lion was like one of their drinks, for ho had a " cock-tail." This same lion was the subject of many a joke, and, to tell the truth, he was a very fierce-looking lion, and really provoked it ; but I cannot rememlwr Italia them. The best joke I heard, however, was made by an impudent young vagabond, who was singing out, "•Extras—news from Eu-rope." He squinted at the flag which showed the emblems of both countries, and then bawled out, " I'm d--d if Great Britain han't an nex'd we." _ . The general impression amongst the Americans is, that she is not so large as they expected. I don't know what they would have. To be sure, she is not so long as some of the North River boats, some cif which are upwards of 350 feet in length, 16 of them going to a male ; but then they would not do fur ocean steaming ; and in point of breadth are far below the Great Britain. Her model is not greatly admired, and they call it clumsy. On the whole, she has not made such a sensation as per haps her proprietors expected, and is not considered here as a safe boat. People in America will prefer the Bos• ton steamer or the packet-ships to her. Captain Hoskin informed me that nothing of any im portance occurred on the voyage out ; the passengers seemed all pleased with the accommodations, and spoke in the very highest terms of Captain Hoskin as a gen tleman and a sailor. They remarked on the very slight vibratory motion in the Great Britain as compared with that produced by paddle-vs heels, and seemed confident as to the ultimate success of the ship. On Monday notice was given that the Great Britain would be opened to the public at the rate of 25 cents. a head, and 12f cents. extra to the engine-room, so that she is to be made a show-ship here, just as she was in England. Thousands of persons have visited her, and all express themselves as being greatly delighted and surprised at her internal arrangements. Captain Hoskin is the lion of the week, and is followed by crowds wher ever he shows himself. From Boston, Baltimore, Phila delphia, and other neighbouring cities, strangers are pouring into New York, all anxious to see the " big ship." The following statement has been furnished by another correspondent : As great interest is felt by the public on the subject of this extraordinary vessel, the following analysis of her first voyage across the Atlantic may be acceptable : Nautical miles. The distance from Liverpool to the South Stack Lighthouse oft Holy head is Thence to the Tuskar Lighthouse From the Tuskar Light to Cape Clear Cape Clear to New York 3,008 Whole distance from Liverpool to New Y0rk...3,304 The Great Britain steamed this distance, against foul winds and cross seas, in lq days, or 345 hours, giving an average speed for the whole voyage of somewhat more than 91 knots or nautical miles (which is equal to 10; statute miles) per hour. From unquestionable data in possession of her Majesty's Government, it can be proved that neither the Halifax nor the West India steam-packets have been able to maintain in their out ward passages (say for a period of six months) an aver• age speed equal to what has been achieved by the Great Britain on her first voyage to New York ; although many instances may have occurred in which a homeward passage, made under favourable circumstances, has shown (as in the last voyage of the Cambria) an aver age speed of 101 knots or nautical miles per hour.— Times. BENTLEY'S MISCELLAAY. Albert Smith's romance, " The Marchioness de Brin villiers," increases in intensity of interest as it draws near to a conclusion. The guilty Marchioness, at the instigation of her paramour, Saint Croix, poisons both her brothers. Saint Croix, who has endeavou►ed to cheat the physician from whom they obtained the poison, is himself poisoned by the Italian, and it is not until after the death of St. Croix that the wretched physician discovers that he has killed his own son. On the death of St. Croix his effects are seized by the authorities, and among the rest a cabinet which is claimed by the Marchioness as her property. It is opened, and found to contain various preparations of poison. She hastens to her own residence, knowing that the police have possession of the cabinet, and at this interesting summit the story breaks off for the present number. Mrs. Mathews continues her sketches of ennobled actresses, and gives us the short but entertaining biography of the Countess of Craven (Miss Brunton) and Lady Thurlow (Miss Bol ton). The outpourings of D. Canter consist of a series of amusing reminiscences of poor Power, and the subject. of the literary retrospect of the departed great is John Galt. The Gaol Chaplain continues his dark pages from "Life's Volume." We must confess, however, that we prefer the story of the bright pages of life, and there fore are under infinite obligations to Alfred Crowquill for introducing us to his aunt, " a good-natured wo man," one of the most simpleminded and kindest hearted of creatures. It is a sketch not unworthy of Goldsmith. Paul Prendergast introduces us to a dan gerous character, Mr. Thwaites. Imagine a wan aping in decent society, at the present day, the intoler able and disgusting brutalities of old Sam. Johnson, and imagine Paul Prendergast sketching adventures of such a man, and, good reader, you may form some idea of the treat that is in store for you. Behrey eschews politics ; nevertheless, in the present Number, there is a short address to the gentlemen of England, which is more worthy the attention of those to whose care the destinies of this great nation are cou fided, than all the political articles which have appeared in all the magazines for the last twelve months. It oc curs at the conclusion of an interesting narrative, en titled, " A Press-gang Hero," a narrative founded in tact, by Robert Pustans. Thus does Mr. Postans ad dress the gentlemen of England : " A word to the Gentlemen of England who live at home at ease.' You cannot be ignorant that powerful rivals are striving to overmatch you on that element you fondly call your own. Think you not that there are many more old ea men along your coast who hive similar tales of neglect and wrong to recount to younger mariners? Know you riot there are thousands, and their warning voices perchance has influ enced them to adopt a service in every respect opposed to yours, and may affect the manning of your ships at the present hour. Let the truth be told. Seamen will not enter the navy—they shirk it—it takes months in these times of peace, with a luxury of sailors, to man a ship of war. They prefer the American to the British marine ; and why ? because the pay is better, and the service made more palatable. This is not a flattering ex ponent of the spirit which your mariners bear towards the navy. Be wise in time ; and remember that one decisive vic tory over a British fleet would be more destructive to you than t h e loss of a score of Waterloos; nay, your seamen have been so used to victory, that a drawn battle, ship for ship, and gun for gun, would be a triumph to your foe, and a defeat to you. You cannot afford to lower the prestige of your flag ; if your seamen are not invincible, the world must not know it. There is Lo liey in making the fox's skin piece out the lion's hide. " You have lieutenants sufficient to man a stout fleet of line of-battle ships on your half-pay list, and admirals and captains enough to officer all the navies in the world. Ships—noble ships you have in profusion; but seamen—the muscles and bones to put all these vast resources in mation—are not to be found. The inference is plain. Jack feels himself neglected, and seeks employment where he is better treated. Be assured the seaman of the hat war is an altered man—he is changed with the times—the thoughtless beings who fought so valiantly for you in the last war will not readily be found again. The days of frying watches and eating bank-notes between slices of bread and butter are gone, and are only remembered now as so much yarn. " Endeavour to make the service popular by increased pay, and comfort to the seamen ; let him feel he is protected, and he will protect you ; he will b 3, as he always has been, the van of your vanguard. Be wise in time then, gentlemen of Eng land, or peradventure the hazards of some future war may make it a difficult matter for you to live at home at ease. " Now, we know, from our own personal knowledge, that every word here stated is true. Seamen will not enter the British navy so long as the Americans offer them better pay, better treatment, and better chance of promotion. The price of labour is regulated like that of every other commodity, by the demand. In callings in which the supply exceeds the demand, our Legislators (who are at the same time all employers) are willing enough to admit and act upon the truth of this doctrine. Let them also acknowledge its truth in the case of the navy—there the demand for able-bodied seamen exceeds the supply, and to obtain that supply the employers m ust pay the price. Let then the Government look to it in time, that should a war come it may not find us unprepared. Awful will be the reckoning to which the country will bring those who by their want of precaution and by their penny-wise and pound-foolish economy shall destroy the prestige of invincibility which has hitherto always attached to the British navy. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The first paper in this Number, " Peel's Policy to wards Ireland," is an attempt to run a parallel between the policy adopted by two premiers respectively (the interval of just a century elapsing between their adminis trations) towards Ireland. The systems of the two Sir Roberts, it is contended, is identical in principle—varied only as to the means resorted to for carrying it into ex ecution. This system is described to be the government of Ireland through " the instrumentality of under takers." The " undertakers' employed by Walpole were the Protestant aristocracy of that country. Tne " undertaker" relied on by Peel are its Roman hierocracy. " There must be on both sides concession as well as claim. Undertakers, if they do a Minister's work, will require a recom • pence ; and the man in office, who needs their instrumentality io effect his own ends, must, in turn, lend himself as an instru ment to accomplish the ends they insist on." Allowing for a great deal of political prejudice, and that false colouring in which it rejoices, this paper is one of considerable talent, and extremely little candour. " Jerusalem," a review of " The Holy City," by the Rev. Geo. Williams, M.A., late Chaplain to Bish,,p Alexander, at Jerusalem (Lord Parker), is made the vehicle for a tedious and withal very unsati.faetory topographical disquisition. The " Antholcgia Ger manica," of which we have, here, the twenty-first paper, contains one or two translations of not very favourable specimens of the singular genius of Heinrich Heine. From the " Zeitgedichte" of Freiligrath, on the other hand, we have a noble lyric " On the Execution of Don Diego Leon," shot in Spain, in 1841, by order of Espartero. It is too long fur extract, and too good for abridgment. From some stanzas by Baron Zedlitz, entitled " The Midnight Review," we give that which stands Number 111. " And when midnight robes the sky , The Emperor leaves his tomb, And rides along, surrounded by His shadowy Staff, through the gloom. " A silver star so bright Is glittering on his breast; In an uniform of blue and white And a gray camp frock he is dressed. " The moonbeams shine afar On the various marshall'd groups, As the Maq with the glittering silver star Proceeds to review his troops. " And the dead battalions all Go again through their exercise, Till the moon withdraws, and a gloomier pall Of blackness warps the skies. " Then around their Chief once more The Generals and Marshals throng ; And he whispers a word oft heard before In the ear of his Aide-de-camp. " In files the troops advance, And then are no longer seen. The challenging watchword given is "France !" The answer is " St. Helene !" " And this is the Grand Review Which at midnight on the wold, In popular tales may pass for true, The buried Emperor holds." The nextof D e xecuted summary and re vie Tour through the Valley of ud paperiDudley cos is te an i i 0 ably w the Meuse, with the Legends of the Walloon Country and the Ardennes." This is certainly one of the most charming books of the season, and although, in ad dition to the perusal we have given to the work, we have read some half-dozen critical notices of it, we rise from this paper with renewed and confirmed im pressions of the singular ability and power of this grace ful writer. The other articles of this Number of the Dublin University are, " Irish Rivers, No. I. The Blackwater," a very beautiful contributi on, full of ro mantic iuterest, and reminiscences of Spenser , Ralei g h, " Horace Walpole's Memoirs of the Reign of George III." " Ireland and her Church ;" and the Luck of Lynhurst." FRAOYS MAGAZINE. One wouldhavetlTought that the character of Cicero, after a lapse of nineteen centuries, had been esta blished beyond the possibility of a doubt, and that all his frailties, including his vanity, his want of candour and courage, and his revengeful disposition when victorious, had become familiar to every classical reader. Our re spected and accomplished friend, " Morgan Rattler," however, thinks otherwise, and he has therefore consi dered it necessary to write a very interesting, though a rather partial article in drawing a contrast between the great orator and his rival and enemy, Marc Antony. The latter, of course, has the preference ; for, taking all his distinguishing features, as exhibted b ancient writers, it w ould be difficult to come to g a ny other cone STIRLING RACES.-THURSDAY.

AMSTELDAM, AUG. 29.—We continue to receive ac counts of the damage done in different parts of the kingdom by furious storms on the 19th, 20th, and 21st of this month. At Tienheven, near :Utrecht, the inhabitants were alarmed on the 7th, at half-past six in the afternoon, by a terrible noise, and in less than five minutes several houses, barns, and haystacks, were stripped of their roofs, and many large and small trees uprooted and thrown down. AMSTERDAM, Auc. 29.—The Minister of the Interior has published a decision of his Majesty granting to a Company licence to carry into effect a proposal for sup plying Amsterdam with fresh water. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 29.—About 750 hhds. and tie' ces West India have found buyers since our last, at the former currency. Included in the above is a cargo of St. Vincent, which brought an average of about 50s. round ; these were principally taken by the refiners, and the quality, generally speaking, was good. No sales reported in Bengals or Mauritius. Very little doing in rum, but prices are supported. Molasses is still inquired for.— Bristol Mercury. IRISH REAPERS.—A great number of reapers from the sister country have already arrived in Yorkshire, and are likely, in general, to find immediate and profitable employ ment. The scythe and the sickle are both in requisition in the corn fields of the southern part of the county, and this auxiliary force comes very opportunely to the aid of the Eng lish labourer for the security of his own food and his master's crops. The unsettled weather for some weeks past has given an unusual stimulus to harvest operations, and we should not be surprised to find the weeks of harvest diminished by the energy which a sense of danger has produced.—Leeds Mercury. CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—On the iron beams which support the roof of the railway terminus at Brighton three pairs of sparrows have built their nests, and may be seen assiduously engaged in rearing their young ones. 'I he situa tion they have chosen is quite exposed to view, and but a few feet above the carriages and engines, and the noise and bustle attendant on the arrival and departure of the trains. A man with a tremendous large mouth went to a dentist to have a tooth extracted. On opening his ponderous jaws, ►he doctor remarked that he needn't do it so wide, as he preferred standing outside to perform the operation. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—You will oblige by informing, through the me dium of your widely circulated paper, your correspond ent " Telegraph," and the public, whom he has no doubt unintentionally, and for want of attention, misled, in expatiating upon the merits of Corranna and Yardley for the Wolverhampt9n stakes, and selecting one of them as likely to prove the winner. As The Sun was the medium through which the mistake was conveyed, it will be your duty to give this letter publicity, or make the public acquainted with the mistake.—l am, Sir, yours, &c. G. H. W. N.B.—The original acceptances are correct ; and if " Telegraph " will refer, he will find that Corranna, Yardley, and another were scratched since. Castle and Falcon, City, Aug. 28, 1845. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: Guildhall Hotel, City, Aug. 30, 1845. Sin,—You have reprted very incorrectly the fire that occurred on my premises on Thursday last. There was no burning of bond timber or wood of any description, and the heat was entirely confined to one room, it having been caused by a lodgment of soot in an old flue which had not been used for many years. By correcting the mistake in your next number you will oblige, Your most obedient servant, JAMES WALTERS. RAVAGES OF TOE SEA AT CROMER.—In spite of all that has been said and done to prevent the inroads of the ocean on this healthy watering-place, we regret to say that it con tinues to make so much way that there is now very little doubt that, uness something be speedily done of a more substantial nature, the whole of this delightful village on the cliff will be swallowed up in the ocean. It is little more than half a year since we recorded some very important shoots that then took place, which, though they were denied at the time, were but too true. Those shoots and the force of the tides washed away the entire jetty, with large portions of the cliff, and in part under mined slime cottages on the Sherringham side of the town We regret to add, that on Wednesday night last, by the power of the laud springs and of the high tides (the moon being at the full on Sunday ), other portions of the cliff fell, and several of these cottages, belonging to a Mr. Rust, toppled into the vortex below. The cottages had been unoccupied since the farmer shoot took place, and were about to be pulled down ; indeed the men employed to do so had only a few minutes before they fell left the premises. A wall, recently built by Mr. Step pings, the proprietor of the Hotel de Paris, was also washed away, and has left that part of the town unpretected. We know not what degree of fear may be felt by the inhabitants, but when we reflect on the large shoot that took place on the 15th January, 1825, when twelve acres of cliff were en gulphed in the ocean, we own that we feel some alarm for the safety of the town. The proposed protection walls, with tun nels behind to carry off the land-springs, would in ail proba bility have secured the town, but after spending 1.2001 for an Act of Parliament, there is scarcely a chance of the money ne cessary to effect these projects being raised. It is quite out of the power of the inhabitants to do it, and without the assis tance of the benevolent they must commit themselves, their land, their houses, and their handsome church, to the chapter of accidents ; and in that case Cromer will assuredly follow the fate of Shipden.—Bury Post. [ADVERITSEMENT.] —An Extraordinary Cure of a Diseased Knee of Ten Years' Standing, by Holloway's Pills and Ointment !—Mr. Edward Perryns, residing at No. 21, Fargate-street, Worcester, is now cured of an abscess on the knee and a stiff joint, which had been bad for ten years, indeed, ever since he was fourteen. He had lost from the knee joint several pieces of bone, one being two inched in I .; . ngth. He had been under the most eminent i'ne faculty in Worcester, and at last was told that his leg must be amputated, as a cure was quite impossible! A perfect cure has been effected in this hopeless case by these wonderful medicines. Sold by all chemists and by the proprietor, 244, Strand, London. C OPY of a LETTER from WILLIAM COURTNEY, Esq. To Mr. THOMAS PROUT, 229, Strand, London, Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants, October 26, 1844. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suitors horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-7'ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.

The report of the Commissioners on this important subject is now printed and delivered to Members. After noticing the condition of various harbours, it concludes : —" Your commission humbly recommend that a Board of Conservancy be established for the superintendance and protection of all the tidal harbours and navigable rivers in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ; that it be in connexion with the Admiralty ; and that it be permanent. That this Board have jurisdiction, by summary pro ceedings, over the waters of the tidal harbours and navigable rivers, notwithstanding any charters or Acts of Parliament to the contrary, with a reservation of pri vate rights under the charters, and the continuation of Local Commissioners where the Board may think fit. That the Beard should have full powers, by the assist ance of engineers, surveyors, and others, to ascertain the extent of all nuisances and cbstructions in tidal har bours and navigable rivers. That the board should be enabled to have a jury sum moned by the sheriff to ascertain whether or not any en croachment or other nuisance in a tidal harbour or navi gable river, has existed years; and if it be found to have been made within that time, that the board have power by their own order, at the expense of the party who made such encroachment or nuisance, to remove it. That the whole of the coasts of the United Kingdom be divided by this board into districts, and that each be placed under the superintendence of a competent person, who shall visit each river, port, harbour, and creek, at least once a year, or oftener, as it may be necessary, to inquire into and report on the state of each river, port, harbour, and creek in his district, and of all works which may be in progress there. That the Board should have power to enforce the ap pointment of a resident engineer or harbour-master, or both, at every port they may consider of sufficient im portance to require such constant superintendence. That every commission or trust of a harbour or navi gable river, or if there be none, every resident engineer or harbour-master, be required to make out and forward to the Board, before the Ist of March in each year, a de- et ' tailed report made up to the 31st of Decemb e r, consist ing of an accouut of all such works as have been ex ecuted, with the expenses thereof, within the limits of his superintendence during the past year ' • and a report on those works he would recommend to be undertaken during the ensuing year. And, also, to include in that report an account of all changes that may have taken place during the year in the depth of water, or formation of shoals, or any other change affecting the navigation of the river or harbour. That if any works, public or private, shall be com menced or proceeded with on grounds within the high water mark of ordinary spring tides, without having first obtained the sanction of the board or their super intending officer, it shall be lawful, and the board should be empowered immediately to stop such works, and to direct the removal of the same by the parties erecting them, and if they refuse so to do, the board may direct their removal, and charge the parties with the expenses. That for the protection of the public interests in the navigation of every river. port, harbour, and creek of the United Kingdom, a clause be inserted in every fu ture Act, charter, or commission, which affects in any way the tidal harbours and navigable rivers of the country, giving power to and requiring the Admiralty to appoint one-third part of the whole number of Com sioners to execute the trusts under such Acts, char ters, and commissions, and also to have the power to change the whole or any of such third part of Commis missioners from time to time, as the Admiralty shall think fit, so as to secure at all times a sufficient number, at each board or meeting of the trust, to protect the public interest against any bias or local interests. That the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty should direct the surveying officers employed in the seas of the United Kingdom to transmit to them, for the in formation of the Board of Conservancy, a list of all the parts of the coast on which they have been engaged sur veying, and the harbours, ports, creeks, and navigable rivers they have examined, and on which they feel com petent to give an opinion, in case of any improvements or alterations being proposed: also, that in future, in every port they visit, they shall make inquiries relative to any embankments or encroachments on the harbour or river, and generally as to any neglect in the preserva tion of the ports; and forthwith shall report the same to the Secretary of the Admiralty for the information of the said Board. That hereafter the number of commissioners or trustees of any harbour or navigable river, docks, or other work affecting navigation shall not exceed twelve (12), and that four (4) be a quorum, with a view to a greater responsibility and the more effectual performance of the duties connected with such commis sion or trust. That to all existing harbour commissions or trusts the Admiralty shall have power to add new commissioners or trustees, not exceeding in number one-fourth of the whole commission. That the Board should have power to call upon every such commission, or trust, or harbour -master, as the case may be, to make out a correct account of all receipts of money by the said commission, in the course of the year up to the 31st of December, and from what source and under what authority received ; stating, also, the expenditure during the year, under separate heads, so as to afford a current ace mint of the resources of each trust, and of the application of the same, which, after being duly audited, shall be transmitted to the Board of Con servancy on or before the Ist of March following. That the board should have power to order that a tide scale be placed in all harbours, and in certain ports that a self-registering tide gauge be erected, accom panied by a barometer, and that a record of these be strictly kept ; as well as a journal of the wind and weather ; of the arrivals and sailings, of cases of wreck, or of anything affecting the interests of navigation, and transmitted periodically to the Board of Conservancy. That in all suits and proceedin g s a t l aw , b y t h e Di rectors or Commissioners acting under any commission or trust of a harbour or navigable river, it shall be im perative on them to take the opinion of. and to act under the directions of the law officers of the Crown. That a summary of the proceedings of this Board be laid before Parliament on or before the 25th of March in each year. That an annual grant be made by Parliament for the support of the said Ifeard. Among the last recommendations which we humbly take leave to lay before your Majesty, there is one which appears to your commission of essential importance to wards the improvement of our harbours, namely, the pro curing accurate plans and surveys on a sufficient scale of all the ports and navigable rivers of the United King dom ; not only for the present value of such plans as showing the actual state of the port, and as affi,rding the basis for improvements ; but also to be preserved as documents for reference hereafter, in order to determine at any future time what changes may have taken place. Your commission cannot close their report without expressing, in the strongest terms, their conviction, that immediate measures for detailed inquiry and local exa• mination into the state and condition of every port and navigable river of the United Kingdom, are indispensa bly necessary, with a view to that thorough superin tendence, without which many of the evils already re cited are liable to recur. And when they consider the great want of accessible harbours along the whole of the coasts of your Majesty's dominions—more especially when the extended use of steam navigation points to such gr ea t c h anges i n mari time affairs, whereby every sheltered creek is likely to become of value—and when they consider that, by the improvement of our tidal harbours, your Majesty's beneficent intentions for the preservation of the lives and property of a large class of your Majesty's subjects may be best fulfilled, they earnestly trust that no minor consideration may be allowed to impede the accomplish ment of objects of such national importance. All which we humbly certify to your Majesty. W. BOWLE3, Rear-Admiral, M.P., Chairman. J. J. GORDON BREMIER, Captain, R.N. JOSEPH HUME, M.P. AARON CHAPMAN, M.P. EWARD R. RICE, M.P. THOMAS BARING, M.P.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Ladies, whether temporarily exposed to the scorching summer sun, or frequenting the crowded saloon, or close assembly, will find Rowland's Kalydor a most refreshing preparation and auxiliary to comfort, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation from the complexion, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The numerous varieties of cutaneous eruptions, sunburn, freckles, tan, and diseolorations, are pleas. ingly eradicated by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately clear and soft. Its purifying and refreshingproperties have ob tained its exclusive selection by the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Continent of Europe, toge ther with the whole " elite " of the Aristocracy, and " haute volee." The high reputation it bears, induces unprincipled shop keepers to offer their spurious Kalydors " for sale, composed of the most deleterious ingredients, containing mineral astrin gents, utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellent action endangering health. It is imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor," are on the En velope (an engraving of exquisite beauty from a steel plate by Messrs. Perkins, Bacon, and Co.) All others are fraudulent counterfeits ! 1 I ~....-, THE LOUIS PIIILLIPPE ANTIBILIOUS AND TEMPER PILLS.—For bile, indigestion, head-ach t nausea, distressing fluttering of the heart, diseases of the liver, A foul stomach, worms, irregular bowels, melancholy, horrid dreams and all inward complaints. To the man of business they give c lear noes of head, to the man of pleasure increased enjoyment, to the traveller, cheerfulness and relief from sea-s*ckness. Elderly perseis will find them the mildest and safest family medicine. To the yowl they are invaluable, as they clear the skin of all impurities , and give an astonishing brilliancy to the complexion. No other tiled' eine acts so directly upon the spleen, so that their effects in calm ing the temper are immediate and striking. In boxes, at Is.
