Sergeant, Bookseller, Linton, Jan. 7, 1850. " Gentlemen,—Mr. Mitchell, of Abington, a respectable cooper, for upwards of twelve months has been suffering from a Cough and Oppression of the Chest. He has been under the treatment of our neighbouring surgeons, without receiving any benefit; but, strange to relate, before he took half the contents of a small box of Dr. Locock'e Palmonic Wafers, he experienced almost miraculous relief, and has since continued in the enjoyment of health to which ha had previously for a long period been a stranger. " J. SERGEANT." Price is. PAd., 2s. 9d., and I Is. per box. Sold by all Medicine Venders. Also Dr. LOCOCK'S FEMALE WAFERS, the only remedy re commended to be taken by Fema'es.

EYEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the ass of GRIM STON E'S AROMATIC REGENERATOIt. If you are in want ef that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an 11 s. bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whore it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature or William Grimstone, Merchant, Herbary, Iligheate, and will be found at page 11, un?‘er the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The 11s. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. ___--- POSTAL COMMUNICATION BE TWEEN LONDON AND PARIS. In a day or two will be published the report of the Select Committee a ppointed to inquire into the best means of accelerating and improving the postal commu nication between London a nd Paris. We will venture to anticipate the report of that Committee upon the strength of knowing the name s of its members. Where we find such persons as Mr. M•Gregor, lair. Moffatt, Sir James Duke, Mr. William Brown, Mr. Mackinnon, Mr. Henry Baring, &c., called together to consult upon a very simple question of business arrangement that any two men of business of the average amount of brains might dispose of in a morning's consultation, we will not do them the injustice to suppose that they will arrive at any other conclusion than the one which the country has a right to expect at their hands. As to the general tenour of their report we trust there is no doubt that it will declare the route by Boulogne that which must henceforward be preferred. Whether or no the starting point from the English coast shall be Dover or Folke stone is a question upon which a certain hesitation may well exist until it has been accuratel y inquired into. On the one hand, Folkestone is, geographically, better situated; on the other, Dover is the better harbour. Folkestone harbour is, however, suscep tible of great improvement, and probably, if there should be a contract formed with the South-Eastern Steam-packet Company for the water transit, it would be found more convenient to them to take Folkestone as the starting point. Other considerations there are, we believe, such as the heavy port dues exacted at Dover, which no doubt the Committee will take into account be fore arriving at a final decision. We look to the report to clear up our hesitations on this point, and upon the further one of whether it would be the more economical and the more effective course for the public service to come to an arrangement with the South-Eastern Steam packet Company for the water transit, or to prefer the official carriage afforded by the Admiralty; with the advantage of recent experience on other lines, we can have little doubt that the system of private contract an swers best; but when we have the facts and figures be fore us. with which no doubt the Committee is prepared upon these two inoot points, we shall be in a condition to express an opinion upon the matter more satisfactory t our own feelings, and more beneficial to the public Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the caase —the universal use of Gemstone's Eye snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar et, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Gemstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time ii canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

In the columns of this journal all the data really necessary for fie solution of a very simple commercial problem such as this have appeared over and over again, and over and over again have we pressed them upon public , attention with all the earnestness the importance of the subject deserves. At the risk of being thought a little tedious, we will here once again recapitulate the main points of the ar gument. It is 82 miles from London to Folkestone ; 27 miles from Folkestone to Boulogne ; 169 miles from Boulogne to Paris. In other words, the distance from Londonmiles. Now let us take the Calais route. It is 88 miles from London aoris by Folkestone and Boulogne is 2 78 Dover; from Dover to Calais 23 miles; f ro m Calais to Paris by railway, via Lille, 2 35 miles ; that is to say , fro m London to Paris by the route now t a ken by the mails it is 346 miles. It is f'B miles from London to Dover, from Dover to Boulogne 28, from Boulogne to Paris 169 —in all 285 miles. These figures would seem at once to be decisive on the question, unless some very strong ground indeed connected with the Channel pas sage can be shown for preferring the longer to the shorter route. Now, what are the facts? Let us con fine our attention for the moment to the rival routes of Dover and Calais, and Folkestone and Boulogne. No doubt Calais is preferable to Boulogne as a harbour. There is much less necessity at the first-named port for open-boat work. The average duration of the passage from Dover to Calais is nearly lh. 40m.; from Folke stone to Boulogne it is about 2h. 10m. The average the reverse way is —Calais to Dover 2h. Om.; Boulogne to Folkestone 211. Om. The average both ways is, between Dover and Calais lb. 50m.; between Folkestone and Boulogne 2h. sm. Thus the difference of average is ex actly 15m.—or, to speak largely, let us say 20 minutes. Certainly this is not a set-off which should induce us to prefer the route which is longest by seventy miles. But it is said greater regularity can be obtained by the Calais than by the Boulogne route. 11pon this we would remark in the first place, that unless the amount of irregularity be very consi derable this position will not bear investigation. Much better would it be that the French bags should be dis tributed by the early delivery for 290 working days, of the year, and somewhat later on the other 23 delivery that they should be sent round by the mid-day y upon a ll the 313 days during which Englishmen labour and toil every year of their lives. Be this, however, as it may, let us see, in point of fact, what is the difference of irregularity between the two routes. We are writing with tables before us on this subject, which have been ver y carefully prepared for a pamplet published in the this year, to " t commencetnen. 0 which we have already called attention in the course of this controversy. We will content ourselves with stating results. The number of irregularities in the year 1848 by the Boulogne route (not referrable to causes, such as the revolution, &c.) was 32; by the Calais route in the year 1849, 26; that is to say, the Boulogne line is - worse than the Calais line by six irregularities. On the hand it Is superior, inasmuch as it is well nigh 70 miles shorter, and the mail bags are conveyed along it in two hours less time than via Calais and Lille. Our limited space forbids us to enter into those details which no doubt will appear set out at length in the re port of the Select Committee. We refer especially to the system on which the transit of the bags is at present managed, and the one upon which it might be managed, within the French territory. The general heads extracted from the time tables are as follows:—The maximum speed obtained between Paris and Calais is now 7, it used to be 8 hours; from Calais to Paris it used to be 7, it is now 6t. The maximum speed b etween B ou l ogne and Paris might be 4.1 distance ßoulogne is n performed by ex press in 2 hours 15 minutes. esupposin_ g this rate to be maintained between Amiens and Paris, the time occupied on the whole journey, would be 5 h ours, and a f ract i on longer on the " down ' journey from Paris to Boulogne. We come to the following conclusion from the facts we have adduced, as well as from others of the same kind—that the distance between Paris and London should be accomplished for postal purposes in a time ranging between eleven and twelve hours. Say that the bsgs which leave Paris at 8 o'clock P.M. c ould be de livered in London at, say, 7 i 1 - 31 • the following morn ing, it would be well enough. Now, we have no manner of doubt that such a result can be obtained by transfer ring the mail-se • r vice to Folkestone and Boulogne. Thus the London merchant would have the whole business-day to answer his French and southern correspondence; and the foreign and Indian bags would be forwarded at once down to the great seats of commercial in dustry in the pr ovinces without the loss of a • whole day, as at present. The question of the alte ration o the Calais route is simply one of time, just like the abolition . of Smithfield market, or i itramural i n terments, or any other great public nuisance. 01 course, it is right tha there should b itiquiries, and that what all the world knows already should be put into an official and au horitative form before it be officially acted upon. But never had a LATEST BETTING. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) NEWMARKET STAKES. 4 to 1 on NutNhell.

THE PERIWINKLE TRADE.—II would hardly be supposed that so trifling an article of consumption as peri winkles could form a matter of extensive traffic; but so it is. sometimes as many as 50 or 60 tons of these little shells are brought at a time to our quay from the island of Ker vera, opposite Oban, where they abound, and arc gathered by the poor people, who get 6d. a bushel for collecting them. From this they are shipped to Liverpool, and thence by rail to London, to satisfy the insatiable maw of the modern Babylonians. Very few are retained here in transit, as the popular taste for " whilks and buckles," is not so strongly marked in our population, and better profits are conse quently obtained in London, even after paying so much sea and land carriage.—Glasgow Paper. • MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MAY 2.—The market to-day has presented no material variation from Tuesday.

BIRMINGHAM, MAY 2.—At Gloucester and Worcester markets, on the 27th wheat sold slowly at an advance of is per quarter. Barley unaltered, but less pressed for sale. Oats fully as dear, and fine were inquired for. Beans and Peas un altered, except Egyptian beans, which were offering at a further decline. This week some considerable parcels of wheat have changed hands, at fully the above noted improve ment—say, Drench and Polish Odessa, at 4s 9d to 4s 10d for 621 b here; Dantzic, at 5s 4d to 5s 8d per 621 b at Gloucester.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The journals of the reactionary party have, ever since the return of M. EUGENE SUE, been announcing " a reform of the Electoral Law," that is to say, an attack upon the principle of Universal Suffrage, but as yet no Ministerial measure has been proposed to the Assembly on the sulject—not that the Ministers shrink from making an attack on the Cons'itujon— not they indeed. They have prepared a measure for the " regulation," as they call it, of Ueiversal Suffrage, but an unexpected obstacle has arisen in the way of its proposition to the Assembly. The PRESIDENT of the Republic does not approve of it, because the changes proposed will give the Legitimatists and Orleanists an advantage over himself and his friends i❑ any future elections. MM. 'Timm, MOLE, and CIIANGARNIER, have been endeavouring to persuade him to consent to the pro posed alteration, which will disfranchise at least two millions of votes. General CLIANGARNIER has a per sonal interest in this question, as it is well known that the Legitimatists intend to start him as their candidate for the Presidency of the Republic in 1852, trusting that he will be the French General Mosix of the new restoration. MM. VIELLARD and ABATUCCI recommend the PRESIDENT to recal M. DUFAURE, and to adopt system of conciliation; and I\L DurtN, the President of the Assembly, gives the same advice : he says that the time has arrived when all the friends of France should take their stand on the ground of an " honest and moderate Republic," and that the Go vernment should be composed of " honest and mode rate men." A letter from Toulon of the 30th ult. mentions that the Viscount DE CLIAVIGNY, condemned to hard labour for life, for the murder of his wife, died last week in the hospital of the convict prison.

On the 29th ult. the Erfurth Parliament was pro , rogued by the following message from the Council of Administration, which was delivered by RADOWITZ to the House of the People, and by CARLOWITZ to the House of the States : " MESSAGE OF THE ADMINISTRATITE COUNCIL. " The Administrative Council of the Confederate German Governments has received the statement of the resolutions which the Parliament assembled here since the 20th March has passed concerning the drafts of the constitution, Ste. ( Vorlagen), notified and delivered to it in the name of these Governments in the opening message. " With these resolutions, which the Administrative Council will make known without delay to the Confede rate Governments with a view to a closing declaration, the Parliament has discharged that more proximate co operation in the work of the constitution of the Ger man Union, which article 4 of the Federal Statute of the 26th May, 1849, designated to be the purpose of this session. " While the Administrative Council accordingly re cognises the labours of this Parliament directed to this end as ended for the time being, but still reserves the right of reconvoking it (dessen Wiedereinbesnfung jedoch vorbehdlt), it expresses to those men whom the first Germau Parliament united here its lively thanks and its perfect estimation of that sense of patriotism,: that earnest will, and that assiduous zeal which have been displayed in the revision of the constitutional drafts, and in the motions of amendment that have emanated therefrom. " The Administrative Council receives these results in the belief which they strengthen—the belief, that is, in the successful solution of the great political questicn which the Confederate Governments have proposed to themselves under the consciousness of their duties and their significations of acquiescence, and it (the Council) accompanies them with the sincere wish that the work of the constitution in its completion may obtain that appreciation which, in the true interest of all parts (i. e., of the federal whole), it has to lay claim to. " I hereby, in the name of the Confederated Govern ments, declare the session of Parliament closed." Several of the officers of GEORGEI'S army have been sent as prisoners to fortresses in Bohemia. The Emperor of AUSTRIA iS, it is said, about to visit Trieste, Venice, and Milan. The Cologne Gazette thus comments on the act of political suicide recently committed by the boy EMPEROR, at the instance of his bigotted and priest-ridden mother. " What Autocratic Austria did not venture to do under Area , rnich, Constitutional Ausiria has done publicly and officially, viz, the recall of the Jesuits; in the official journal of Verona we read the decree of installation signed with Radetzlty's own hand, whereby the..e worthit hive the necessary localities assigned to their cardinal. Schwartzeuburg is most zealously interested in the mat t-r, and dispenses the needful cash with a liberal hand. Their net is spread widely. Vienna has been omitted, probably to prevent the young men from coming into collision with their spiritual power; nevertheless, their influence has been secured in the highest quarter; the future father confessor of the Court is to be a member of the order of the Jesuits." Baron STUaMER has resigned the post of Aus trian Internuncio at Constantinople, and is expected at Vienna in the course of the present month. The Wanderer says the investigations of the flagrant plundering of the Jews in the year 1848, in Neustadt, on the Waag, and near Syered, having been termi nated, the injured parties are now to receive indem nification. Some villages will have to pay as much as 10,000 florins, which will be raised by putting in executions. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has given orders for the establishment of dockyards at Pola and Trieste, and for increasing the navy to six ships of the line, six frigates, and a proportionate number of small craft. • HOLLAND.

DOCKYARDS.—From a return obtained at the in stance of Mr. Hume, it appears that since the year 182 S, the lowest sum expended in the establishment of dockyards, and on their repair and improvement, was in the year 18'33-34, when the aggregate expense of the year was 505,850/. During the last five years the expense has exceeded one mil lion, though a decrease is observable in ti .e last year given in the return. The expenditure was in 1846.7, 1,360,3591.; in 1847-48, 1,470, 62/. ; arid in 1E34849, 1,399,0141. A beautiful cenotaph is about to be erected at Fullattnn, in Ayrshire, on the property of his Grace the Duke of Portland, to the memory of the late lamented Lord Cieorge Bentinck. ``\ w
