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 whom 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 of William Grimstone, Merchant, llerbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This painphlet 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., 73. Bd., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The I ls. n 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. 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 d ed.. ez tn a h n otse d ed f s o leo r gh e t y l zpades, that it was a business.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Fall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while Sal faring from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a ft ar of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these ce mplaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistan ce w h ere alone it can be procured. Dr . '.A'MERT has taken the highest raedical fer hon moursan as his diplomas testify, and the grea t extent of his practice y years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almmt solely to the treatment of these diseases.

The history of thiS match may be thus in a few words told. The Kent representatives c , ,uld neither play the " lightning flash" of Mi. Fellows, nor the slow pace of Mr. JOnes Nash ; and hence it came to pass that whilst in the first hands 59 runs were all that they could obtain,• so in the second they were either ripped up by the one or chiselled by the other for seventeen !

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The French Ministry is considered to be tottering to its fall in consequence of the check which it has received on the law regulating the appointment of mayors. Another check is also in store for it—the Ultra-Legitimatists, the Larochejsquelins, and De Nettetnents have determined to throw out the Minis- terial law regulating the press, as they have already postponed the Bill regulating, the appointment of mayors, and they are deaf to the voice of the charmer BERRYER, who calls on them in vain to make conces sions. They are, moreover, in high spirits just at present in consequence of a report which is rife in the salons of Paris that the Duchess of BORDEAUX is [kely to present to France an heir to the legitimate throne—thus destroying all the chances — of the Comte DE PARIS. This split among . the Monarchists will throw the command of the majority into the hands of the tiers-parti ' and it is not impro bable but that an attempt will be made to form a tiers- parti Ministry. The ilioniteur contains a decree from the PRESI DENT of the Republic, declaring that as JEAN Pauvor, an agricultural labourer in the department of the Aise, has been employed for fifty years on the same farm, and has, during that period, given numerous proofs of rare disinterestedness, and performed many acts a devotedness, the head of the state has thought fit to nominate him Knight of the Legion of Honour. A grand dinner was given at the Elyse.., on Satur day, to the Marquis of NORMANDY. General DE LARITTE w as present. _ _ The .71roniteur publishes the return of the average price of wheat in the various departments of France. The highest average is 15f. 4c. the hectolitre in Tou louse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles. The lowest average is 12f. 30c. in Metz, Verdun, Charleville, and Soissons. A duel was fought at Versailles on Sunday morn ing between M. VALENTIN, Socialist, representative for the Haut Rhin, and M. CLARY, also a repre sentative, and a relative of the PRESIDENT of the Re public. The weapon was the sword. M. VALENTIN was severely, but not dangerously, wounded in the thigh. General DE GRAMMONT and M. C. AYME acted as the friends of M. CLARY, and MM. ScficEL CHER and BRUCKNER of N. VALENTIN. The new law on the press has been presented to the Assembly. It enacts the deposit of caution money, the payment of fines imposed by the authorities witbin three days on pain of suspension of the pub lication of the paper, and the revival of the stamp. The Gazette de France says that the Legitimathts will oppose the Bill. The Presse has the following on the division in the Commons on Mr. ROEBUCK'S motion : • " We rejoice at the vote, because we are convinced that the triumph of the Tories in the present state of Europe would have had the most fatal consequences for the principles of liberty and independence, especially in the little states. The well-known names and projects of those who placed themselves at the head of the plot against Lord Palmerston have in this respect a signi fication which no one mistakes. Under these circum stances, public opinion has expressed itself with ad mirable instinct in Germany, Portugal, Spain, Italy, the Levant, and wherever it was understood what was at the bottom of this question, which was so cleverly exaggerated and entangled. The vote of the House of Lords accordingly caused veritable consternation in all countries. Fortunately, there is in England public opi nion and moral interests, with which the Parliament must always count. This opinion and these interests, which are the heart and life of the English people, have on this occasion been the safeguard of Liberal Europe. The hostile vote of the House of Lords, which was in tended to be the coup de grace of the Ministry, is now reduced to a pure and simple act of courtesy towards Russia and Austria." The credit says— .. " This result is of the greateit importance, not only for England, whose old aristocracy receives a lesson which it will certainly have the good sense to under stand, but also for the powers of the continent, and particularly for France, where the aristocracies have al ways shown themselves more rebellious than in England to the lessons of public opinion."

DENMARK. • We have advices from Copenhagen to the 26th ult. The secret sitting of the Reichstag took place on the 24th. The promised Ministerial communication was made with respect to the present position of the ne gotiations with Germany and the Duchies, and the future plans of the Government. The nature of the communication appears to be, that the Danish Go vernment has forwarchd its ultimatum to Berlin, requiring• either a separate peace with , Prussia, or, to put in force , the first of the secret articles appended to the. armistice of July, 184 g.) The Duchies are then to by subjected by force of arms, if necessary ; and, on peace being restored, the Kling of DENMARK will apfseint an equal number cf Danes, Schlesvvigefs, and Holsteiners, to draw up a plan for the final adjustment of the relations of the DOchies to Denmark. The Ministry are said to have aided, that they have been acting until now with the advice and support cf Russia and England. A long and violent debate is stated to have ensued. The plans of the Ministry and their previous con duct were violently assailed by members of the Right and Left, bat terminated without any decision being come to. Another secret sitting was to take place on the 28th inst., when an interpellation was to be made by CHRISTENSEN, with the view of obtaining further explanations from the Ministry. So►ne ex pectations appear to be entertained that. the Reich stag Will be dissolved. The Minrstry are very se verely blamed for having broken off the dirsct negotiations with the men of confidence from the Duchies. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 26th ult. have arrived. The Gageta publishes an extract from the last dis patch of the Governor of Cuba, stating that after the re-embarking of LOPEZ'S expedition the greatest tranquillity prevailed. The investigation into the charges against the persons arrested in the expedi tion was proceeding; and, according to a letter, the demand of the United States Government would have no effect until after the trial. The Espana states that the Government has ordered two additional war-steamers, of 500 horse-power, to be constructed in England, to be sent to Cuba. General NARVAEZ had visited several barracks,*and been received with great enthusiasm by the troops. GERMANY. The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 28th ult. publishes a semi-official article relative to the resolu tions of the Government in regard to the projected modifications in the Zollvereiu tariff, which it is in tended to prepare and introduce at the approaching Congress of delegates to be held in a few days at Cassel. The article states that the Government can not consider the opinions uttered at the recent con ferences of commercial or agricultural delegates at this place as the opinions of the community at large, but as those of special interests and branches of in dustry; and, therefore, however disposed to pay de ference to their opinions upon local or special points, it must adopt its own course as to the general ap plication. It therefore declares, lst. That in de spite of the unanimous opposition of the agricul tural commission, it shall insist upon the reduction of duties on grain, butter, cattle, fire-wood, and tallow (the latter will favour the Russian trade). 2d.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 28.—The official Journal of, this day publishes the convention between the King of the BELGIANS and the King of PRUSSIA. concerning the establishment of international communication by means of electric telegraphs, dated May 16, 1850. It appears, from articles of this treaty, that electric telegraphs are to be established and kept up be tween Berlin, Brussels, Antwerp, and Ostend, via Aix-la-Chapelle. The Brussels line is to be extended to a point of the Belgic-French frontiers, where the Belgic line is to, join that of France. The whole of the telegraphic lines are to be laid down at the mutual expense of the two Governments. For the telegraphic service the railway station at Verviers is to be cousidered the frontier station be tween the two countries. RUSSIA. It is said that the Emperor NICHOLAS intends on ;he Ist of December to abdicate, in favour of his son ;he Grand Duke ALEXANDER. ITALY. Accounts from Turin, of the 26th ult., state that the Committee of the Chamber of, Deputies, on the Bill empowering the Government to contract a ne►a loan of 100 millions of francs, by the emission of 6 millions of I?entes, has given in its report. The re port is favourable to the measure. The Concordia says chat the favourable character of the report is a circumstance of greater importance than it at first appears, because it shows that the Gauche has given the measure its support. The Church party had strongly opposed the Bill, and had hoped that the ultra-Liberals would have coalesced with them. Buff the Liberals, on finding that the sole object of the Church party was to upset the Marquis D'AzsGmo and his Cabinet, refused to oppose the measure. The first conference had taken place at Naples between the Commission appointed to investigate the claims of foreign merchants for losses sustained during the bombardment of Messina, and the representa tives of their respective Governments. According to a letter from Bologna of the 23.1 ult. in the Opinione of Turin, the Austrian military autho rities in the former town had entered into a negotia tion with an Englishman for the cession of a large piece of land, called the Caprone, outside the Porta San Felice, which they intended to use as a ground for military manoeuvre; but the price no , . having yet been agreed on, the Austrian commandant had ap plied, notwithstanding, to the Government for per mission to occupy the land, which was granted, and men were sent to cut down the trees, and level the ground. The proprietor, who was at Turin at the time, has protested against such arbitrary proceed ingot, and a courier has arrived at Bologna with orders from Vienna to stop the works immediately, the British ambassador having made representations on the subject. The Concordia of Turin of the 26th ult., devotes a leader to the question of quarantines, which is not without interest from the facts it contains. Ever since the French Government directed that all sani tary regulations hitherto observed with respect to ships coming from infected places, should cease in the port of Marseilles, the Piedmontese Government has . . found it difficult to enforce its own sanitary regula tions. In consequence of the yellow fever that pre vails in Brazil the arrivals from Marseilles have been subjected to quarantine throughout the Piedmontese coast ; but the masters of French vessels have found means of evading the measure. They land their pas sengers at Cannes, close to the frontier, from whence carriages take them to Mizza, where they find a re gular line of French packets to take them to Genoa and the other ports of Italy, so that merchandize alone, in fact, is subject t o quaran ti ne . The Risorginzento of Turin of 26th ult. gives an ac count of the new Yiedmontese steam-frigate Go vernolo, just arrived at Genoa from London, where she was built under the direction of Captain Rica, and Engineer MATTEL, expressly sent to London for the purpose by the Piedmontese Government. She is of 1,401 tons admeasurement, 213 feet in length, by 36k- in breadth, and 23 in depth. She carries ten guns, besides two heavy Swivel guns, which have been tried in the waters of La Spezia, and found to answer perfectly at a distance of 6,000 feet. The Constituzionale of,Florence of the 23d ult. states from Ancona, that the Holy Office , has com menced proceedings against all the persons who have been pointed out as having expressed irreligious opinions during the revolution.

JAME S ' S o iiir THEATRE. • Mademoiselle Rachel, the greatest of living trage dians, indeed, we are not going too far in calling her the creator of French tragedy in modern times, COM. itienced an engagement of twelve nights at this theatre last evening. Ths tragedy selected for the occasion was the Phedre of R ac i ne , and into that stiff, lumbering, unnatural, stilted play she breathed the breath of life, and made it instinct with vitality, with passion, with hu man interest. A miracle this, our readers Will say, who have by reading it become acquainted with the classical tragedy of the age of Louis XlV.—a miracle we admit, and one which genius and genius only can accomplish. The com mencement of the tragedy until the entrance of Rachel, appeared stilted, unnatural, James Ma /1(1,y, in fact— (by -the- bye, that king of burlesque would make an admirable tyran, or even amortreux for classical French tragedy)— but the instant Rachel entered the stiffnes, the formality vanished, we cared not for the artificial ceesetres, we mat ked not the cliuquant of the rhymes —the impassioned Phedre was before us in whose bosom guilty love was contending with duty, and both ec last were merged iu maddening jealousy, I arel an insati a bl e d es i re for nvenge. Racine, not -1 wiebstanding his artificiality and his rhymese. became n a t ura l w h en i nterpreted by the sub lime genius of Rachel, and we thought but of her, felt but for her, saw but her throughout the remainder of. the tragedy. Sublimely did she reresent the conflict between t ore -end, duty, as - she related to Enone her efforts to conquer her guilty love for - Hippo's te—terrihle, awfully - terrible was the tempest of her passion when her fureur —for it was love driven to madness— breaks through all restraint, and she declares her passion for Ilippolyte; and intense was the expression of self-degradation as on finding her love rejected, and Aricie, the captive, preferred to her, the Queen, she sinks to the earth, exclaiming in accents of despair— " 0 toi qui you is honte oiije suis de.scendue, Implacable Venus, suis-je USSI Z confondue!" Scorchingly withering, like the lightning's blast, was her expression of contempt and rage as, spurning from her presence CEnone, who had counselled her to poison Thes6e, she exclaims— " Et plisse ton supplice a jams's effrayer Tout ceux qui, comme tui, par de laches addresses, Des princes malheureux nourissent les faiblessas, Les poussent au penchant oil leu r cceur eat enclin, Et lour osent, du crime, applanir le chemin— Uttestables flatteurs! pro ent le plus fun , stn ! Qui puis3e tail e aux rois la colera celesto!" In the scene in which she denounces Hippolyte to Thesee, her expression of suppressed feeling, ex hibited by the working of her mobile features, the choking tone of her utterance, and the unearthly calmness of her manner was very fine, and in the last scene, in which the impassioned and guilty wo man, having done justice on herself by poison, dies in agony, confessing her guilt, she reached the very highest pitch of sub limity. She was called on at the conclusion of each act, and again at the conclusion of the tragedy, and bouquets and crowns were showered upon her. M. Radoux, as Theramene, de cl•ximed the passages descriptive of the death of Hippolyte most effectively. He is by far the best actor of the troupe. The house was crowded by the elite of rank and fashion, not a box nor a stall was unoccupied. • f "" J 1 1 ji. I SURRE Y THEATRE. This theatre hes eommenced an " Opera season," which seems to have a fair prospect of success. Last night Lucia di Lammermoor, carefully got up and well performed, both in its ensemble and its details, was applauded to the echo by a house crowded from floor to ceiling. Madlle. Nau's Lucy Ashton is well known. Her representation of the character is na tural and affecting, and she sings the music charm ingly. We have never seen her more successful than she was last night. Travers, in Edgar Ravenswood, acted with considrrable force and passion, and dis played more vocal power than we supposed him pos sessed of. He is much improved, both as an actor and a singer. Borrani's Ashton is an old acquaint ance. liis representation of the character is good, and his singing is excellent. The part of Bide-the bent, the clergyman, generally quite insignificant, derived importance from the intelligence and feeling with which it was performed by Mr. Delavanti. The orchestra, .though small, is the best that we have heard at this theatre. Herr Meyer Lutz, the con ductor, appears to understand his business, and the principal instruments are well played. The scenery and stage appointments were good, and the whole performance was agreeable and highly creditable to a theatre which does not profess to be a regular Eng lish opera house—a thing of which the metropolis of England is, and seems likely to remain, totally destitute. EXPLOSION oF GUNPOWDER. ON TL'E GLASGOW AND Duel FRIES ltAiLwAr.—On Thursday morning last, about seven ' , 'clod,, a tremendous explosion of gunpowder took place close to the Mauchlin station, on the GlaSgow and Dumfries line of railway. Fortunately no lives were lost. hut a vast destruction of property was the consequence. Be fore the occurrence of the explosion alluded to a smaller one occurred in a carrier's cart, some two or three trucks distant from the engine, by which the after portion of the train was separated from the rest of it. The after portion had retro graded down a declivity about 300 yards, when the great explosion took place, by which every house and building within two miles of the spot were shaken as if by an earth quake. A third explosion of a lesser character followed. For upwards of 100 yards the ground was strewed with the smoking ruins of carts, trucks, merchandise, &c., part re duced to smoking tinder and part in a blaze ; a large quantity of spirits were ignited, and ran down the water courses, burning up the vegetation, &c. ; bales of cloth and other substances were on tire on the sides of the railway, and some of them were carried a considerable distance by the force of the blast. How the disaster was occasioned is not yet discovered. The French nlvy, which on the Ist of January, 1848, consisted of 186 vessels in commission, was reduced on the Ist of January last to 145 vessels. It is proposed in the budget for the year 1851 that the ships in commission be fur. ther reduced to 125 vessels. ADULT ORPHAN ASYLUM.—The annual general meeting of the supporters of this charity Wail held yesterday afternoon, at the Asylum, St. Andrew's-place, Regent's-park ; Earl Manvers in the chair. The report, which was read by the Rev. Mr. Anderson, deplored the loss of a most valuable patroness—the Queen Dowager. Her place had,however, been filled by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. The Rev. F. E. 'Tyler, clerical superintendent, having resigned, his office had been already filled up to the satisfaction of the committee. With regard to their finance, the report stated that of late serious reductions had been made in the amount of the funded property of the institution, in order to make good the deficiencies of former years, but during the past year no such encroachment had been deemed necessary, principally on account of the liberal response made to their special appeal in the year before last. The subscriptions during the past year showed an increase of about 70/., and the donations of nearly 600/. over those of the year preced ing. One congregational collection had amounted alone to 77/. 15s. 2d., and another, after a sermon by the Bishop of Salisbury, to 57/. 3s. 10(1. Among the legacies left to the asylum was one of 10 guineas by Miss Sarah Anne Hild yard, a senior ward, who had been appointed in 1847 sub governess to the children of the Queen, and who had thus expressed her interest in the institution which had formerly afforded her a happy home. Another senior ward, Miss Laura Jury, had presented to the institution the profits, amounting to about 100/., of a work which Mr. Newby had published for her. Against the increase of income the com mittee placed the increased expenses of general repairs. The number of senior wards at present was 45, and of junior wards tir'. The statement of accounts from January Ito December 31, 1849, showed the total receipts to amount to 2,831/. 18s. Id., which left a balance over expenditure of 890/. 13s. ld. After the adoption of the report, a vete of thanks to Miss Jury was unanimously passed, and the privi lege of two votes at all elections of wards placed at her dis posal. Thanks were also given to the medical and other officers at the institution for their past services, and to the Noble Earl in the chair fur the manner in which he had pre sided over the meeting. _ _ DERBY, SATuRDAr.—(From a Correspondent.)— The announcement of the division has diffused very general satisfaction in Derby—so much so, that the bells of several of the churches rang merry peals. The tone of Cobden's speech has disgusted his general admirers It is quite clear he mistakes the feelings of the people of England. THE ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWlCll.—Fifteen car penters, six wheelers, six sawyers, and several blacksmiths and other workmen, making in all thirty-five mechanics, were discharged from the Royal Arsenal last week, which, • with sixty-five discharged in April last, make the number up one hundred, which were to be reduced from the estab lishment during the present year. The improvements re cently made in machinery, and the introduction of Nas - myth's hammers, enable the various departments of the Royal Arsenal to produce an equal, if not greater quantity of work, with a considerable reduction of the hands employed there previous to their being put into operation, and the work is finished with greater perfection. Amongst the ma chinery recently introduced in the gun-boring department,' under Colonel Dundee, C. 8., is a perfect piece of mechanism for turning balls, and the principle on which it is constructed is so correct that from the commencement of its operation on an 8-inch solid shot until it acquires the entire spherical shape, the shot changes its position by self. acting worms, and does not vary the thousandth part of an inch from the true round ball when finished.
