THE REVALENTA ARABICA saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhcea, all gastric de rangements, hcemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neu ralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramp', spasms, nausea and sickness even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPORTANT CAUTION.—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than slopy imitations to which, without autho rity, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached. Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holi ness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 08 ,413):-.... ,, Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other r eme di es , h e h as confined himself entirely to Du Ba rris Revalenta Arabia' Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.

REPORT of the Directors of the NATIONAL BANK to the Proprietors at the THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, held at the Bank, Old Broad street, 28th January, 1868 — Sir J. N. M'KENNA, M.P., in the Chair. The Directors of the National Bank have the pleasure of presenting to the Proprietors the Thirty-third Annual Report of the state of the Society, made up to the close of 1867. In July last the Directors submitted to the Proprietors their report for the half year ending the 30th June ; their present statement incorporates the profit and loss account for the two half years of 1867, agreeably with precedent heretofore observed. The dividends and extra dividends payable for the year 1867 have been declared at the same rates as those paid for 1866. The following accounts in the usual form exhibit the state of the Company's affairs at the close of 1867 : ASSETS and LIABILITIES.—The NATIONAL BANK, 31st December. Cn. . ASSETS.

Since those accounts were made up, a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the Bank, and an extra dividend of 16s. per share, together £2 a share, have been declared on the 50,000 shares which constitute the Company's capital ; and the same are now payable at the head offices and branches of the Com pany. The dividend and extra dividend now payable for the half-year ending 31st December, 1867, amount together to £lOO,OOO. The Directors desire to state that the decrease in the profits of the half-year is solely due to the low rates which have prevailed for money, particularly on discounts and advances on securities in the City of London. The deposits and creditor balances of customers have increased in the year by £115,463, and the circulation is also slightly in excess of the amount at the close of 1866, showing that, notwithstanding the general stagnation of business, there is actual progress to record in some of the most important departments of the business of the Bank. As " the Rest," which is available to a reasonable ex tent to equalize dividends, has been considerably aug mented on the average of the last four years, the Direc tors, iu view of the exceptionally low rates of interest which have prevailed for the past half-year, do not con sider it advisable to vary the ordinary dividend and extra dividend. The Directors who retire by rotation th i s y ear a r e James Bogle Smith, Esq., Frazer Bradshaw Renshaw, Esq., and Sir Joseph Neale M'Kenna, M.P., who, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Admiral Sir Burton MacNamara, who has been appointed to a seat vacated since last meeting, also retires by rotation, and being eligible offers himself for re-election. Since the last Annual General Meeting three vacancies have occurred by the retirement of their respected col leagues, James Allan, Esq., John O'Meara, Esq., an d Thomas William Kough, Esq., to whose vacant seats the Directors have nominated respectively Peter McEvoy Gartlan, Esq., the Honourable Albert Henry Petro, and Admiral Sir Burton MacNamara. The appointments of the two former gentlemen, Mr. Gartland and the Honourable Albert H. Petre, who do not retire by rotation, require confirmation by the shareholders. Since the close of the year the Directors have determined on opening at Notting-hill their Sixth Metropolitan Branch, at the request of some of the most influential in habitants of the district. Approved by the Court, ALBERT H• PETRA Chairman.

MR. FERGUSON AND MR. TVELBY PUGIN Westmin s t er G azette : letter has b een a dd resse d t o SIR,—Mr. Ferguson should ha v e been a i tor following o f the the Th ed e bishop. He could then have pronounced dog matic decisions, which, if not privately undis puted, would at all events have been publicly received in solemn silence. He must not, how ever, be permitted to rate a whole institute of architects with impunity, and if seems to me high time that some protest was made against his self assumed authority. He always speaks and wishes to be recognized as hav ing spoken ex cathedra. Hence, when another man would reason, he takes upon himself to judge, and decides categorically, as though every one were hanging on hi s li ps f or a decree ; noticing just so much of the matter under his consideration as is convenient for his own immediate purpose, whether of personal deprecation or general abuse. Passing by other instances of this spirit, let me remark, in regard to that more immediately interest ing to myself, that he assumed the office of a judge—so Dr. A. Barry protests—before hav ing heard the pleadings of both sides, because this afforded him an opportunity of mounting his favourite hobby for general observation, and o f a b us ing my father in particular. Ut terly regardless of justice, he is taken to task on one hand for summing up without evidence —regardless of logic on the other hand, for summing up against evidence ; for I am sure that if one half of my evidence proves to Mr. Ferguson's mind that my father spoilt the ori ginal designs for the Houses of Parliament, it can acarcely De deputed that the Qther half very much more forcibly proves that he made the original designs. Nov, however, Mr. Fer guson shirks the real question altogether, and, after introducing one quite irrelevant, covers his retreat by a second question of an entirely abstract nature, even more irrelevant than the first. I will, nevertheless, follow him, as it concerns not only myself but the whole body 1500. f o living architects, not to speak of the army of architects who have lived since the year o. Without taking any particular credit to myself for the faculty, I claim to be com petent to distinguish between arehmology and architecture, and, at the same time, I do not acquiesce in Mr. Ferguson's teaching or defi nitions. In opposition to him, I define an archwolocrist—.C., a mere architectural archw ologist—io be one who, in making designs, not only studies the works- of antiquity, as a book whereby 'he may learn the principles of ,the art which produced them, and see how these principles were variously developed by successive architects, in what forms they re sulted, what ideas sprang from them, how they were influenced by, arid in what outward expressions they satisfied and symbolized the wants of the then existing generation, but actually reproduces them, irrespective of all considerations of appropriateness and modern wants, convenience, and requirements, thus making the present subservient to the past, and expressing, not the thought and character 'Orlinown mind or of the age we live in, but those of men and ages long since departed. A good architect, however, must be a sound archaeologist.ln designing a building, whilst considering solely " the purpose and• age for and in which it is to be erected," lie will work it out from his ow.n thought and brain-power, without reference to books and examples ; but so far from "not thinking of the past or of any other clime," or of unreserv edl y rejecting the forms and developments of bygone ages, he will bring to bear on his work the wisdom, genius, and power of the great men by whom they were produced. Far, moreover, from fostering a supercilious disdain for them, he will avail himself of their experience, and re verence their work:, even to the extent of de signing the self-same features and using the self-same forms for the same wants. is shallow philosophy which, from a morbid de sire of being novel, or a slavish fear of being a copyist, shrinks from a loyal avowal of the obligations a man is under to those from whom he has learnt the very alphabet and grammar of his art. In saying this, lam not likely to be misunderstood. No man has more roundly , abused archaeological whims a nd old-world I copyisms than myself, and none have been more roundly abused for doing so ; but I denounce quite as strongly a principle such as that enunciated by Mr. Ferguson, which, followed out without qualifications, leads to nothing but extravagance and eccentricities. The partial truth it contains requires carefully guarding by the principle of authority, and a reverence for the past is the best guarantee for success in the present. This seems to me to be the great safeguard against a spurious ori ginality, which, if sought for apart from the restraints I have mentioned, only results in the weakening, crazy, and fantastic develop ments of modern Paris and London. To "throw archaeology overboard" in order to get at " a real and true architecture," is very much like discarding grammar in order to write with a real and and true elegance. All that is true in Mr. Ferguson's definition of an architect has been the burden of my song for many a day, but what he really means is to be found in his article in the Builder, on the Law Courts, which, although contain ing much that is both true and admirable, is so disfigured by his usual extravagance, that it loses half its value. lig architeaTif seems, is to cut himself off from " the past and from every clime " under the sun, except his own. He is to free himself from " the tram mels of archaeology," and to " invent a new style," with no principles but " common sense" and " progress to guide him. He is to en gage on every fresh work with the amusing conviction that " Gothic (English) spires and Grecian porticos are equally absurdities " in England ;—that all modern architecture is a falsehood"—classical, one falsehood—Gothic, another ; that a love of Gothic art is a mania to be classed with crinolines and chignons, and consigned with them to the limbo of absurd fashions ;—that veneration for the middle ages is " sentimental," and (if I rightly understand Mr. Ferguson) that neither " pointed arches nor classical pillars" should be tolerated. With such convictions and in such a spirit a man is to be successful in producing an original and entirely satisfact or y s t y l e o f architecture "in harmony with the feelings and advance ment of the age." Will Mr. Ferguson for once be a little less visionary and a little more practical, and g i ve us some id ea o f the original common-sense architecture about which he discourses so dogmatically ? There are several newly-erected buildings in Lon don which seem to be at least efforts in the right direction. The Charing Cross Hotel is wildly original, details and all—does that - please him ? The Strand Music Hall has certainly no parentage—come, this cannot be far wrong. Better still the new University Buildings in Burlington Gardens, which were pulled down last summer and bodily carried off, when but half erected ; this, surely, should have passed Mr. Ferguson's muster, for it was totally un like anything ever yet seen—not only in design, but even in its general construction. In these buildings we certainly see few "crotchets" such as those Mr. Ferguson so flip pantly attributes to my father, but a mass of childish fancies, ludicrous, abnormal conceits, fantastic originalities, and hideous, degraded forms. My father's " crotchets," at all events, had authority on their side ; but these are the coinage of the most depraved taste, opposed alike to all " true and real architecture " as to every rule of art. These, then, are the results of a principle such as that we, archi tects, are called upon to adopt. These are the will-o'-the-wisps we are to follow in our search after a " new style neither Gothic nor Greek," until we are lost in a quagmire of incompe tence and conceit. Space forbids me to follow Mr. Ferguson any further. Perhaps another opportunity may be afforded me of noticing the " syllabus of errors " with which he has favoured us ; but I do think, since we are all such benighted creatures, that we cannot even " appreciate the difference between archaeology and archi tecture," and that all architecture, since the year 1 ; 500, is more or less a failure, Mr. Fer guson, in addition to his darling occupation of finding fault, might take the trouble to build up, as well as pull down, and substitute some thing " true and real " for the " strange aber rations" of the present age. We might, then, place a higher value on his crusade against all modern architecture and architects. From his remarks in his " Modern Architecture " re specting. my father I am convinced either that Mr. Ferguson wants judgment extremely, or that he is blinded by his resentment. —I am, sir, your obedient servan WE t, E.

Holloway's ointment should be thoroughly rubbed upon the front of the chest and between the blade bones twice a day, while the blood is undergoing purification by appropriate doses of his pills. A double result is thus secured ; the air tubes are relieved of accumulated -Phlegm, and the lungs are freed from an impure circulation. Those favouring conditions remove the cause, and the cough ceases.

STAMPED sd. CHRONIC PAUPEI?IS_II. There appears to be no symptoms of abate ment in the terrible distress in the East End of London. The large resources which public benevolence and the official guardians of the poor have brought to bear on the helpless mass of misery and starvation seem to have but small effect in stemming the tide of pau perism. The very fact that relief is given abundantly, and, as must needs be the case, in dealing with such a wide-spread distress, too often indiscriminately, attracts a continu ous stream of paupers from every district. We have not only to deal with men thrown out of work by the - stagnation of trade and by the sudden collapse of innumerable small industries dependent for support on the earn ings of artizans and workmen, but we are once more brought face to face with that gaunt spectre which haunts our large, cities — chronic pauperism. Paupers who, in the best of times, are hovering on the verge of star vation, who are incapacitated from helping, themselves by physical weakness or mental im becility, or by vice, intemperance, or, again, from the fact that they are known to belong to the criminal classes, now rise up in their utter destitution and helplessness, and throw themselves in unmanageable masses on relief committees, on poor-law officials, and on public charity. They are loud-voiced and importu nate, and skilled in exciting sympathy and absorbing . relief. They need relief, indeed, for they are the first victims of starvation ; but these chronic paupers who in prosperity are comparatively poor and destitute, and - unwilling, or morally or mentally -unable, to earn a sufficient live lihood, stand now between the decent artizan and hard-working labourer, and public bene volence. Relief-committees, had they but to deal with an accidental and passing pauperism, would not be reduced to the miserable neces sity of knowing that distress which they can not reach is bringing the labourer out of work down to the level of the chronic pauper. Every sudden outburst of distress like the present in the East End of London throws into one in distinguishable mass of pauperism artizans, hard-working labourers, petty street traders and those itinerant workers who, in spring, and summer, and harvest-time, manage to pick up a precarious livelihood, but who, when winter sets in, gravitate towards the East End, and finally the helpless chronic pauper. An in quiry into the trades and professions of a number of applicants for relief made the other day at one of the East End unions gave the following results :-7 dock labourers, 3 street hawkers, 1 blacksmith, 1 tinman, 1 cooper, 3 chairmakers, 4 shoemakers, 1 gas-fitter, 2 weavers, 6 carpenters, 1 tailor, 8 needlewomen, 1 printer, 1 gardener, 1 baker, 2 stay makers, 1 sewing-machinist, 1 hatter, 2 ship wrights, 1 varnish-maker, 1 schoolmaster, 1 box-maker, 2 paviers, 1 carman, and 3 paper stainers. Several of the men were repre sented by their wives. Various other trades also furnished candidates for relief. Besides these, a large number of applicants were far advanced in years. Inquiry into the history of these, says the Daily News, showed that in many instances the bread-winner of a family took upon himself the support of his parents, or those of his wife, so long as he was enabled to do so, but the moment that the family funds began to fail he was compelled to let them have recourse to parochial relief. There is no help for it now but to redouble every exer tion, to unite the various relief committees, as has now been done in the east end of Lon don, so as to form a central committee and a central executive capable of dealing in a more systematical method, not only with the applicants for relief, but with the more retiring, ; - '`but not deserving, -obje"dt-Sef-pmblic-be i nevolence. When the present distress is at end, it will be incumbent on our social reformers to ex amine the question of chronic pauperism seri ously in all its bearings, social, political, and religious, and see whether some means befit ting a Christian community cannot be dis covered to grapple successfully with the gigan tic and growing evil.—Westminster Gazette.

Edward Whittaker.—This was an ac tion tried in the Blackburn County Court, on Monday, recover the sum of £l4, money deposited with the defen dant, a referee in a pigeon -flying match, which did not come off. Mr. Dean was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Rat cliffe for the defendant. After briefly opening the case Mr. Dean examined the plaintiff, who said he was a beer house keeper, at Church, and the owner of a celebrated carrier pigeon, and he agreed to fly his pigeon against the pigeon of a man named Pilkington. The agreement was signed on the 9th December. A copy of the agteement was produced. Pilkington was a beer-house keeper, and Ed ward Whittaker was a stakeholder and referee. One of the conditions was that each party to the match was to show his pigeon every fortnight. He showed his pigeon at the proper period, and deposited £1 per week into the hands of Whittaker. Everything went on pleasantly until Saturday, Dec. 28. On that day the last deposit to make the money to £l4 was paid, and the remaining £6 was to be paid on the 31st. On Dec.2B he produced his pigeon as usual. That was before 9 o'clock at night, as per the terms of the agreement. No objection was then raised to his pigeon, but later on at night the stakeholder and a lot of People came down to his house, and asked to look at the pigeon again. That would be about twenty minutes past eleven o'clock. He said he had shown it once that night to the referee, and he should not show it again. Defendant then said he must take the pigeon to Samuel Lee before twelve o'clock that • night, or else he would turn the money up to the other parties. He said if he did so (witness) should try to make him turn it back again. On the 31st of December he went to Pilkington's house at Accrington, where the last in stalment was to be paid. He produced two watches to time the flying with, and £6, the balance of the money, and he placed these on the table and called the landlord in to witness it. The defendant was not there to receive the stakes, although he had had notice to be there at nine o'clock. Ile (witness) was there at a quarter before nine, and remained there until a quarter past, but the defendant never came near. He then said that as the defendant was not there, ho should declare the fly off. Twenty or thirty persons were there when ho declared the fly off. The defendant came to his (witness's) house last Tuesday night, and he said he had done wrong in giving up the money to the other man, and he was afraid he would have to go to prison for it. Cross-examined —The match was made in the first instance on t he 21st of Septomber, but the btarting-point wasaltered because the gamekeepers objected to its taking place at LiaptonGate.lle pigeon.

So numerous are the uses and purposes to which glycerine may be applied, especially in combination with other remedial substances, that glycerine compounds abound. Unfortunately, many of these so called mixtures of glycerine are so in little more than name ; they are either destitute of that substance, contain it only in minute quantities, or, when even present in larger amount, the quality is often by no means good. This observation applies with more or less force to many of the so-called glycerine soaps, perfumes, and cosmetics. In Price's s_lidified glycerine, however, we possess an article of really definite composition and of superior quality, and one on which we believe that the profession and the public may fully rely. It is stated of this glycerine compound that it wears well, gives a rich lather, and that it contains over half its weight of Price's distilled glycerine, the ac curacy of which statement we verified by the following per centage, analysis : Water ...

He had not proceeded long with his address before the gas in the room was put out, and the densely packed room was placed in total darkness. There were many ladies present, and a general panic now ensued.' All present rose, and many clambered up the seats, A cry was now raised, " The Puseyites have done this ;" whilst others called out " Taks Care of your pockets," a caution which others suPP-c -mented with shouts of " Yes, for they love darknes; rather than light, for their deeds are evil." Somewhere in the room (it sounded al)out the middle) could ' * l3s heard the shrill notes of a gentleman, who, from theAone of his voice, was undoubtedly a weakling himself, Calling out " Mind the ladies ; don't. hurt the ladies 1" From various other parts came cries of "Oh ! do let us come out !" whilst the chairman and a number of other gentle men in various parts of the room were calling out at the top of their voices, " Keep your seats—keep your scats, or there'll be mischief done !" Above all these could be heard another, with a more stentorian voice than any, calling out, " Igo keep your seats ; and when we've goys light, we'll take every Puseyite by the scruff of his leek and pitch him out !" At length the candelabras were relighted, amidgt great cheering. The CHAIRMAN then again rose, and said that the deputy-manager of the London Tavern had come forward, and stated that it was impossible for the gas to have been put out by accident. He (the chairman) considered that it was a most dastardly trick on the part of the Puseyites and opponents of the meeting, as such an act might have caused loss of life and fearful consequences. They had now, however, placed a man at the meter, and he hoped they would again resume their rents, and that confidence would be restored. Several ladies, however, went out, and the meeting then resumed its business. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro. mail-Lau A PAINFUL INQUIRY. Mr. Humphreys, the coroner for Middlesex, held an in quiry of a very extraordinary character, yesterday, at No. 1, Stamford-road, South Kensington. The inquest had been previously opened, but was adjourned in consequence of the peculiar evidence which was given, and the desira bs.eness of more complete information being obtained. The person respecting whose death the inquiry was made was A Miss Laura Andrews, a young lady aged only 16 years. She is described as having been highly accomplished, and was possessed of great beauty. The bare outline of the story is that on the 7th January her brother, Lieutenant Andrews, of the Bengal Army, and who is himself only 19 years of age, called in a surgeon to see his sister. The surgeon found that the young lady had given birth to a child, and was then in a most critical condition. He found it necessary to call in three other doctors, but, in spite of all that could be done, Miss Laura Andrews died on the 18th of the month. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by a solicitor, attended to wawa the case on behalf of the relatives of, the deceased. Mr. Henry Andrews was the first witness called. He said he was a brother of the deceased, and resided at Esher. The last time he had seen his sister Laura alive was about six weeks before her death. He was not then aware of there being anything peculiar in her condition. He identified the body. . A woman named . Elizabeth Legg stated that she was engaged to wait upon the deceased, and began on the 14th of January. The young-lady had had a miscarriage, and there was great hemorrhage. She became very exhausted and died on the following night, at ten o'clock. Lucy Lytton said that she was servant to Mrs. Andrews. The deceased was taken ill on the 4th of January. She said that she had -a bilious headache. Her brother, Mr. Alexander Andrews, was with her, and her mother and sister were at Worthing. She kept her bed. A doctor was called in on Tuesday, January 7. Witness did not then know the nature of her illness. No one visited her, and it was her brother who called the doctor in. He (the doctor sent for other medical men. Mr. A. Roberts, M.R.C.S., said that Lieutenant An. Brews called him in to the deceased on the 7th, and told him thattaacl . had. a :naiscFrie. The deceased had then no bad symptoms. The following Friddy hernof rhage set in, and witness sent for three doctors. She got worse, and died on the Saturday: The post-mortem exa mination shewed that death bad resulted from hemorrhage. There were no signs of violence, but he could not say whether drugs had been used or not. Mr. Sleigh said that the young gentleman whose name had been mentioned was present to give any explanation that might be required. The Coroner said that he would, before hearing him, recall the servant, Lucy Lytton. Lucy Lytton, recalled, deposed that the family con sisted of three daughters and five sons. One daughter w s married to . an officer ; the other was with Mrs. Andrews t Worthing. They left for that place the morning of the day on which the deceased became ill. It was after they left that the deceased got ill. She went upstairs at eight o'clock in the evening. The reason she did not go to Worthing was that Mrs. Andrews was ill, and that her elder sister went with her to take care of her. The deceased, Mr. Alexander Andrews, and witness were the only persons left in the house. Miss Laura said that day that she would- change bedrooms with her brother, and she did so. Both rooms were on the same floor. She con tinued in her brother's room all along, and died there. The Coroner asked whether the witness waited on the deceased. _ _ The witness said that she did not. Mr.. Alexander waited on her - all the time. Witness did not observe anything suspicious. Miss Laura had returned front Worthing the day before Christmas Day. She had been there three months. She bad been there with her brother. No one else was with her. She went there for a holiday. Mr. Alexander was 19 years of age. Witness did not make dcceased's bed while she was ill. No medical man was called in to her before the 7th January. Deceased never went out alone. Witness did not remember whether she had gone out that week with her brother, nor did witness know whether she had taken medicines that week. It was after her mother and sister left that she said she would change rooms and sleep in her brother's. She became ill that evening, and the next night she was worse, and her brother sat up with her. As far as witness know, the young lady had been keeping company with no one. It was the practice of the family not to let her go out alone. Mr. Alexander Andrews deposed that he was a lieutenant in the Bengal army.' The deceased was his sister. The Coroner said that, according to the servant's evi dence, the deceased had been with him three months at Worthing. 'I he witness having counted on his fingers, said that the time was not three months, but eleve n weeks. She went ally down on the 4th October.

It was about three months ago. She complained of being unwell on the 3rd of October. The Coroner : The day before she went to Worthing' — The witness said that was so. The family had lodgings at Worthing, and his mother and sisters went down by turns to stop there with him. There was no female nurse for the deceased. He offered to send for her mother and sister, but she objected, and would not let him. -- A juror asked whether the mother knew of any young man that went out with the deceased. The foreman interposed,. and said that the inquiry was not for the purpose of going into that question, but to ascertain if there had been any neglect which conduced to the deceased's death. The Coroner said that theie was already evidence upon tne point. The coroner then proceeded to . sum up he case, and said that he had gone into the case in order . to ascertain, d It would if possible, whether drugs had been us . ehave been desirable with a view to that point to ascertain who the father of the child was. It was to be regretted that the deceased, when she was so communicative to her bro ther, did surprising that the brother himself did not, for his own 1 • sa t is faction, get her to tell him his name. The jury deliberated in private, and then returned the following verdict : " That the deceased died on the 18th, January from hemorrhage from natural causes, and the jury are of opinion that medical advice and a nurse ought to have been called in earlier, whereby her life would have been §avetl."..., - - -
