This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support un voluntary contributioLs and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them.

Owing to a high gale of wind the flames extended with frightful rapidity. Portman•market is com posed of a regular square of buildings, consisting on three sides of shops and dwelling-houses, and on the fourth of a line of stabling and sheds for storing hay, &c., and enclos ing an extensive open area, which on market days is crowded with stalls and itinerant dealers of every description. Fronting the main street is a boot and shoe warehouse, and in tilts shop, shortly after twelve o'clock on Saturday night, the fire was first discovered. An attempt was made by a mob to " save " the contents of the shop, but the door was held fast by two policemen until more aid ar rived. The flames shot out simultaneously with the arrival of several engines, and whilst the hose was being laid out the fire spread to an adjoining ironmonger's and attained a terrific force. Unfortunately, when the firemen brought the hose to bear it was found for some time to be useless, a puny jet of water proceeding from it amidst the jeers of the bystanders ; and although the firemen, guarding their faces as much as possible, walked literally up to the fire, the water dribbled in an impotent manner upon it. A powerful stream was soon obtained, but the conflagration had by this time extended to several shops down an avenue, and its entrance was a perfect furnace. Twenty minutes had not elapsed after the flames had first broken out when they shot out' in a continuous body from the roofs of some half-dozen of the shops in the avenue, and reached far into the air above in the form of a pyramid. Despite the number and power of the fire-engines, and the energy with which they were worked, the flames rolled on until the whole of the avenue had been siezed, and the open area of the market was brilliantly illuminated. At 1.30 the fire was evidently giving way, although it was not till an advanced hour in the morning that it was entirely ex tinguished, when it was found that several shops in New Church-street and the whole of the market avenue were completely destroyed ; altogether twenty shops were laid in ruins. A large number of perso y ns who *er...-addenly rendered houseless were takenin by neighbours. -----P---'7 . *" .

MISCELLANEOUS FOREIGN NEWS. (From the Anglo-American Times.) PARIS, Feb. 19. The sublime is closely followed by the ridiculous, and mundane changes, however exalted the ideas they originally represented, however practical the results obtained therefrom, bear a strangely fan tastic resemblance to the travesties which, on the arrival of Mardi Gras, will commence to subvert all recognised notions of order in Paris. The Exposition of 1867 has passed away, and Egyptian temples and divinities have been put up to auction by their present proprietors to sell for what they could fetch as ornaments for the villas and gardens of the spirituel Parisians. The Gates of Thebes of a thousand years will adorn for the future the domains of a French dramatic author, and the Sphinxes frown from the porter's lodge of M. Victorieu Sardoni ; and yet this, which at first sight appears to the student of ancient history a vandalism of the grossest character, is the imme diate effect of one of the greatest advances towards progress and universal enlightenment that have dis tinguished modern times. Pursuing the illustration still further, and reversing the hypothesis, are not the very follies of the Carnival itself a link be tweeneven as the sales ast pe Cercle Internationale awnhdi conh are the th etackhi taking gm present pp a de a e d Aai t t h a m unite the past with theet h present, communicating to the minds of the many, with its tableaux vivants, an idea of that mytho logy, the educational acquisition of which forms for others so long and arduous a study ? Have they not even to a certain extent their uses, in to oreating commerce employ m ent and in giving an impetus a short period, to bring a smile upon the lip of labour and poverty ? " Blame me not, 0 Athe nians," said the runner who brought -to Athens the false news of victory. " Have I not given you three happy days ?" And though in look ing at the bright side of the approach ing festivity, one neither sanctions nor ignores the dark, yet it would be as useless to reckon the grains of the sand of the sea as to at tempt to trace or reason upon •the mysterious ways with which Providerfce works out its ends, or be yond a certain extent to lay down human rules for human guidance; and in so saying, I wish it to be clearly understood that I am not availing myself of sophisms in support of barbarism, folly, or worse, but that I cordially concur in the strict and well digested regulations which have just appeared on the walls of Paris, emanating from the Prefect of Police, and which enjoin that, before a certain time in the morning, or after a certain time in the evening, no masked person shall appear in the streets; that no person wearing a mask shall refuse to lift it at the request of any one in authority, or delay following him to the nearest police-station if required ; that no masquer shall carry deadly wea pons, or in any way avail himself of his disguise as a medium for insulting any kind of religious wor macluding, after many other fiimilar wise regulations, with ordering the discontinuance of masquing in the public streets after the midday of Mercredi des Cendres. The four &cut's Gras have been already selected Nivernais on this occasion, carrying off the palm from Normandy, and the well-known butcher Duval, the cordon bleu of Bouillon, obtaining the prize in preference to tho: e hitherto victorious. Returning, however, to my subject of the present state of the Champ da Mars, with its saddening panorama of shattered shrines and ruined temples, one cottage still remains to mark the section given to ;Holland ; whilst in that of Belghrin, the Palace of the Fine Arts is yet untouched, Helvetia, Sweden, and Russia yet retain their charming habitations, and the C'ercle Internationale and the Chalet .31 - oc&le presented to M. Leplay complete buildings which remain intact amidst the mass of debris on every side. The scene, nevertheless, presents some resemblance (setting aside the ruins which recall too forcibly the contrast between present desola tion and past splendour) to th it when the vast area was first taken possession of ; the same large numbers of workmen and vehicles, formerly en gaged in elevating and sinking various parts of the soil for the aquariums, lakes, foundations, mimic rocks, &c., are now as actively engaged in restor ing to the plain its primitive appearance. The sale takes place daily at the Cercle lnterationale, the lots being considerable; the shell itself has been sold to a foreign - company for the sum of 1,100,000 francs, and ere long, there will remain no vestige to mark the place of rendezvous of all the nations of the globe. The law for the regulation of the Press still re nains under discussion at the Legislative Assembly, the moderate views and language of the principal members of Government—their Excel lencies M. Pinard and Rouher—contrasting to marked advantage with the insubordinate eloquence of the Opposition ; even M. Thiers so far forgetting himself on discussing article 17 (the power of con trol by the magistrates) as to charge the President —M. Schneider—. with partisanship. The argu ments of the Government supporters, however, pre. vailed, and the amendments proposed, including that of M. Berryer, were not taken into considera tion. The racing season bas commenced in France with the courses at Porche Fontaine and the steeplechases of La Marche. It may be interesting to some of our sporting readers to know that the racing copartnership known under the designation of Major Fridolin's stakes has been broken up and the horses sold. It is said, however, that nearly all have been purchased by one of the partners. As regards theatrical intelligence, the new opera by Auber, " Un jour de Bonheur," has been most fa vourably received, and the venerable composer, who is now in his 87th year, has been honoured by the congratulations of their Imperial Majesties the Emperor and Empress. The piece is lively and sparkling, and the musical compositions, of course, the principal attraction. As regards the plot, some of the French journals describe it as bring plagiarized from various authors, going back as far as an old American romance, and stopping there for fear of continuing up to the deluge. On Wednesday last the Comedie Francais brought out the " Don Juan, or Festin de St. Pierre," of Moliere, whose portrait by Mignard, recently pur chased for the sum of 6,500 f., novv adorns the foyer. " Paul Terestier" is to be translated into German route de suite.• No less than three burlesques are already announced at as many theatres. Upon the new Parisian favourite, the crayons of Gill, Cham, and a host of others have been already employed to a similar end. The Odeon has replaced on its stage the drama of Alexander Dumas, entitled, " Kean, or Disorder and Genius." The drama has, of course, reference to the elder Kean, whose eccentricities were so well known, and who visited France at the period of the Restoration. At a time like the present the good taste of its reproduction is, to say the least, questionable. The delay accorded for the retirement of certain pieces of coin by the mone tary convention entered into between France, Bel gium, Italy, and Switzerland, will expire on the 31st of December next, and our readers will do well to get rid of pieces of the value of 20 and 50 centimes respectively struck previous to the date of 1864. A new and very important edict of the Prefect of the Seine inaugurates a new tariff, in accordance with which cab fares will be calculated according to the distance actually traversed ; every cab proprietor being bound to furnish himself with a machine adapted to reckon at once hours and kilometres, the pace allowed being at the rate of eight kilometres the hour. It will be useless for me to give the new scale of prices in Jny present letter, as some delay is likely to occur in the provision of suitable machinery. Crime of every description is at present prevalent in and around Pdris. A rich proprietor, who left his country house last week for a couple of days, returned to find that a fire had taken place, in which his wife had perished—more recent information affording him the proof that the incendiary had been his domestic servant, who had made the fire the medium of robbery. A young gentleman escorted a young lady from a ball, and contrived en route, from motives of jealousy, to blow her brains out ; whilst swindling dodges and robberies (especially at the masked balls) are legion. Single ladies, living in hotels garnis beware how you allow strange packages to be left for you, as the other day one was left which, like the jars of Ali Baba, contained a robber ! discovered only by the sagacity of a dog. Young men beware how you give your arm to a young lady who slips on the pavement. In one instance a gallant militaire has had his pocket picked, in another the swain escorted the fair damsel to her residence only to find himself in a cabinet particulier face to face with three masks and revolvers. Servants beware how you leave a parcel with a strange commissionaire loiter ing about the door of the house to which you are bound. But as lam not like the fat boy in " Pick wick" who said to Aunt Rachel, " I want to make your flesh creep," _I will wind up with a lighter anecdote explaining how husbands take matters in Paris. A young married lady, surrounded by a crowd of admirers, was one day deprived of a valu able ring, the gift of her husband, by a mustachioed Adonis under the plea of requiring a keepsake. The lady in great tribulation acquainted her husband with the affair, who, however, only laughed, under taking at the same time to arrange it satisfactorily. Next morning, accordingly, our hero presented him self at the abode of the Petit Creve, whom he ad dressed in the following manner—" Monsieur," he said, "you find my wife pretty, which is a proof of your good taste. I can understand also that you would liketo have a souvenir of her; only in such a case the object iu itself is nothing, and as I value that ring very much,:which cost me 50 louis, I should be obliged if you would accept instead this rose which my wife has worn in her bonnet all last winter." It is scarcely necessary to add for the benefit of my lady readers that such eloquence was successful, and the ring restored accordingly. A great treat is looked for at Haner's concert on the 25th. A cliange has been made in the programme since its publication, and Beethoven's name substi tuted for that of Lebouc. On Wednesday last a grand dinner reception and ball was given by the Minister of the Interior, as also one by the Tuni sian Envoy at the Champs Elysees. FLORENCE, Feb. 17. Admiral Farragut's vi,it has been the absorbing incident. The flag-ship is at Spezzia, and the Ad miral and some of his officers have run down here to have a look at Florence. Our Consul-General gave him a splendid dinner, and the King honoured him with a grand banquet at the Pitti Palace, where all the great dignitaries both of the navy and army were invited to meet him. A number of members of the Italian Parliament also did him this honour at Doney's, where Admiral Ribotty, the Minister of Marine, presided, and Colonel Law- PRICE.. 4d. STAMPED sd. rence and Hr. Marsh were of the party. The Ad miral adjourned to the Countess of Menabrea's weekly reception, which was crammed with persons anxious to see the American hero. As every person here is full of the Admiral, I may as well settle a point on which there had been much dispute touch ing the country whence his family c.tme. His father, George Farragut, was born in Cinda della, on the west end of the island of Minorca, where he was baptized in 1755. Ile married Miss Sline, of North Carolina, and settled in East Tennessee, where the Admiral was born. Farragut recently visited Minorca, and was received by the people of Ciadadella wfth such warmth as visibly to affect him He visited Italy 50 years ago when he was but a youngster of 17. He spent his life in the navy, which he entered before he was nine years of age. He returns to Spezzia to-day, and will sail for Naples. Admiral Ribotty, in propos ing Farraguee health, happily alluded to his words at Mobile, in referring to wooden ships versus iron, where the hearts of those who bought them were of iron. Prince Demidoff tele graphed from Paris, expressing regret that he was not at San Donato personally to show the Ad miral over his villa, who visited it last Saturday. That evening a magnificent fete took place at the American Legation outside the Porta della Croce, where many assembled to see the last of tWdis - -, tinguished sailor. The Farragut originally came froni Catalonia, and it is not known how long they were settled •at Minorca, but there is a farm called by that name on the island. NAPLES, Feb. 14. Yesterday was a Derby-day for Naples. The long-promised tournament and military fete at the Bagnoli came off at last, and proved a splen did success. Every drag obtainable was put into requisition so much that during the day the city was deserted as if there had been a cab strike. The Duke of Aosta made - his appearance on the ground at half-past twelve, and the business of the day was over beforesunset,but it was long after dark before the thousands of carriages had been able to find their way homewards. • This day's amusement will make an excellent effect on the masses who in this country, even more than elsewhere, want a little amusement as well as bread, and both have been rather scarce lately. Her Majesty's ironclad frigate Lord Clyde, Capt. Roderick Dew, is in the roads. Her officers give a " The dansant" this afternoon, and as the sky is cloudless, the temperature warm as summer, and the bay smooth as a glass, their hospitality will be eagerly availed of by the beauty and fashion at present in Naples, whether American or English. We have had a great many notabilities lately, foremost amongst them General Hooker, of fighting fame. Of Vesuvius nothing new to report, but the ab sence of rain has enabled the so-called " fumarole" to produce sublimations of various kinds, interesting as well to scientific as to amateur travellers. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 1868. The President has succeeded in bespattering General Grant with some of the mire which is now so plentiful in the neighbourhood of the White House. It was almost impossible for Grant to escape, standing as he did in so conspicuous a posi tion, with the contending parties always fighting around him. The correspondence which has set the country by the ears has been made public by a resolutiot of the House. The general forgot his " reticence," in a measure—lost his temper, and has come down from his perch to join in the mud throwing process —a fact over which the country mourns. All hope now of nominating the General on a national ticket, freed from party, is 10-d. Ile has fairly taken his place in the Republican ranks, and will be the candidate of that party. The In telligencer came out yesterday, with columns upon columns of abuse. The Democrats circulate stories that Chief Justice Chase backbites Grant. All Washington is divided into sides on the Johnson- Grant quarrel ; but in the confusion only one thing is clear, that either the President or the Command ing General is, to say the least, untruthful. The President has a letter ready, in which he reiterates the charge of perfidy, and reproduces the state ments of the four Cabinet Ministers. He is hound ing on the Press and the Conservative party to rake up every circumstance of the General's career which can bear distortion. Grant's reception last evening was an ovation, though a storm raged. The Republicans congratulate him warmly ; and Thad. Stevens says he is a bolder man than he thought him ; "we will let him into the church now." General Banks has been confined for the last three or four days to his apartments, ill. General M'Clellan and Mayor lloffman are added to the names of those likely to succeed Mr. Adams. The Senate has passed a resolution to send a naval delegation to the Maritime expedition at Havre. Sherm in's Finance Bill has been thoroughly revised, and will pass the Senate in its present form. It authorizes the issue of Five per Cent. Bonds run ning 40 years, but redeemable in 10—interest and principal in coin—to be exchanged for Five-Twenty Bonds, or sold at par--the proceeds to redeem the present Debt. The Bonds to be exempt from tax, and to be known as "The Consolidated Debt of the United States." Five-Twenty Bonds will be ex changeable at option five years from date of issue, and those now redeemable must be presented before next November. Senator Henderson's Bill on the National Bank Law will also pass, as it will be sup ported by the West, and not objected to by the East. There are rumours that the Reconstruction Committee have Impeachment again under consi deration, and that the House Republicans held a caucus yesterday morning on the subject. Also that the President has recalled General Rous seau to relieve General Meade in command of his district. Another is that at a private reception Mr. Thornton met Mr. Seward, when some remarks passed regarding the Alabama claims, not of a very friendly nature. This is mere rubbish. The Pre sident received Mr. Thornton very cordially this afternoon. The Minister, attended by Mr. Ford, was presented by Mr. Seward ; none but officials were present, and very few of them. The ante rooms were crowded with persons desirous of witnessing the ceremony, in which they were dis appointed. The Appropriation Committee have cut off as superfluous sources of expense, the Second Assistant-Secretary of State, William Hunter, of Rhode Island, the Statistical Superintendent Benj. F. Hall, of New York, and the Examiner of Claims. Mr. Chanler, of New York, spoke in the House on the Rights of American Citizens' Bill, which he likened to Niagara, the title beingthtehreoraero. It is , f andthe bill the fall, and great was the fall not long since Mr. Chanler did a little roaring on spe his own account, when h e rudel y interrupted a Represen t a ti v e whom hecaolnlewdhiach the coward, Speaker er re peating the obnoxious epithet, interfered, when he announced to the House his intention to test the gentleman's courage by way of establishing the assertion. Surely this was a loud roar, and the fall was as deep when he told the House that he had settled the affair satisfac torily to himself and to his friends, while sneering members were warned that theyw'erei ntle ß e en pr g e a - 1 pre sence of a real " Striped" and "Streaked" tiger.

By order. ANTONIO BRADY, Registrar of Contracts and Public Securities, THE IRISH JOURNALISTS. There was some excitement in _Dublin on Saturday, that day having been fixed for awarding judgment upon Mr. Alexander M. Sullivan, proprietor of the Weekly News, and Mr. Richard Pigott, proprietor of the Irishman news paper. The attendance in court in Dublin was somewhat larger than usual. The bar seats were fully occupied, and in the galleries a number of ladies (amongst whom was Mrs. A. M. Sullivan) were accommodated with seats. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock Mr. A. M. Sullivan entered the court and took his seat at the traversers' bar. He was accompanied by Alderman Plunkett, Mr. James Fitzgerald Lombard, J.P., Mr. John Martin, Mr. Donal Sullivan, Mr. Scallan, solicitor, Mr. D. N. C. Whyte, city coroner, and other friends. Shortly afterwards Mr. Richard Pigott arrived, and seated himself between Mr. Sullivan and Mr. John Martin. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald and Mr. Baron Deasy took their seats on the bench at half past ten o'clock. On the learned judges taking their seats, Mr. Smart (deputy clerk of the Crown) informed their lordships that Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Pigott were in attendance to receive the judgment of the court. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald : Send for counsel for the Crown. In a few minutes the Solicitor-General, Dr. Ba 11; Q.C., Mr. Charles Shaw, Q.C., and Mr. R. H. Owen entered the court. The Solicitor-General said : My lords, we pray the judgment of the court upon Alexander M. Sullivan and Richard Pigott. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald then addressed Mr. Sullivan at some length, concluding as follows : That you be impri. soned for six calendar months from this time ; that at the end of that period you give security, yourself in £5OO, with two sureties in £250 each, to be of good behaviour for a period of two years, and that in default of such security you be further imprisoned for a second period of six calendar months. Mr. Baron Deasy next passed sentence upon Mr. Pigott, sentencing him to be imprisoned for twelve months, and at the expiration of that time enter into recognisances to be of good behaviour for a period of two years—himself in £5OO and two sureties in £250 each —or, in default, be further imprisoned for six months. Mr. Crean: I have to ask your lordships whether you commit the prisoners to the city or county prison. You have power under the Act to name the prison. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald : The offence being committed in the city, but tried in the county, I believe the Act gives us a discretion as to what venue we shall direct the sentence to be carried out. What is your application, Mr. Crean? Mr. Crean : That they be imprisoned in the city. No opposition being offered on behalf of the Crown, Mr. Justice Fitzgerald said : We direct that the sen- tence be carried out in the city, and accordingly the pri soners are committed to Richmond Bridewell. Mr. Sullivan : As far as the court is concerned I w:311 to say I consider that I have had a fair trial. A number of persons, including sevtral Roman Catholic clergymen, here came to the front of the (lock and shook hands with Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Pigott. Mr. Philpotts, deputy -governor of Richmond Bridewell, then took the prisoners into custody, and conducted them to the cell beneath the court. In their progress, a crowd which completely filled the passages leading to the court, shook hands with them, and they were loudly cheered until the cell door closed upon them. Shortly after one o'clock Messrs. Sullivan and Pigott arrived at Richmond Bridewell, where they were received by Mr. Boyd, the governor. The records of their convic tions were handed in and entered in the usual form. A record was made in the governor's book of their reception, together with the general details of their ages, religion, occupation, &c., as in the case of ordinary prisoners. Cells were then allotted to them, and they were soon after removed. Some members of the board of superintendents of city prisons met in the course of the day to consider in what way the prisoners should be treated. After a consultation it was determined that, as prisoners receved on Saturday are not " classed" until Monday, no step should be taken at present, but that a special of the board should be summoned for Monday to take the subject into consideratiol. Under the General Prisons Act for Ireland it is stated that all prisoners, whether felons or misdemeanants, must conform to the prison discipline in all respects, except that in regard to the latter class a discretion is vested in the board of super intendence to relieve them from the operation of the regulation respecting the compulsory wearing of prison uniform. The Weekly News and Nation of Saturday published an address from Mr. A. M. Sullivan to the readers of these journals. In this address Mr. Sullivan says :—" Fellow countrymen, the dictates of justice, the conclusions of judgment, the emotions of the heart, arc beyond the coercion of man. England may send us to gaol, but she cannot force us to praise or worship that against which our heart and conscience are in revolt. She may get verdicts as she pleases from permitted juries, well trained in treason-felony trials ; but she cannot change the verdict of the world upon that hideous scene in Manchester. As for myself, from the moment the Crown came upon me with a double prosecution I knew my doom was sealed. I knew that on one in,lictment or the other—or on both—my incarceration was to be achieved, in the vain hope of silencing or terrorising the journals which I have conducted. Then I resolved to meet the ordeal • • plainly and directly; fully conscious that, come what might, the verdict of my fellow-countrymen would be with me. To exchange home and family for the rigours of a prison may be hard ; but brave and good men are now daily consigned to severities far more pro tracted than those awaiting me at Kilmainham. The spirit of sacrifice was never stronger in our race than it is to-day; and never since first Ireland had a press that she could call her own have the national journalists been missed from the roll of those ' fallen at their post.' Fel low-countrymen, I will not haul down the flag. Neither will it fall to the ground when I am struck down by the foe. Other hands, true and tried, will bear it onward still, till I once again can take my place at the post of responsibility." The Irishman of the same day thus referred to Mr. Pigott's convicti on an d t h e future conduct jour nalofthat ::-` All we can say is, that these 'prosecutions and convictionsr will not break the spirit of the national press. i\ o matter what may be the period of Mr. Pigott's incarceration, he has friends who will bear the lamp he has lighted, and keep this journal worthy of his suffering and his name. It would be senseless bravado to say that they will defy the law even as administered by Green-street juries, but within the-limits of the libel law—arbitrary and there fore tyrannous as it is—it is possible to advocate the national cause and animate the national heart. Neit week we shall have something to say of the restrictions which these extraordinary convictions place upon the liberties of the Irish press. To-day we will content ourselves by saying that, whatever be his punishment, Mr. Pigott will en dure it like a man. T here is one privilege, of which neither prosecutions, nor juries, nor judges, nor gaolers can deprive him. In his dungeon cell he can utter the aspiration which is now, it seems, branded as the watchword of sedition, God save Ireland.'

CANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for "Candles, Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme transparency of pure a Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke and smell; their good old-fashioned " BELMONT SPERM AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," " No. 3," and "BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and their. "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter, to avoid the dropping of grease when carried. Their new toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIE t) GLYCERINE" con tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr ps of which, mixed with three or four times as much water, will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied once a day will prevent the recurrence of the.chapping, and roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well as at home order " PRICE'S" as the one only Glycerine to be used. -- " PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for burning in the wide glasses are believed to bo the very best Night Lights made.

SATISFACTORY LETTER. 5, Wood-street, Millbank, Westminster, October 5, 1867. . Sir,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis, which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF ANISEED ; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiving strength to the voice. You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser vant, SAMUEL DEAR, Dean's Verger, Westminster Abbey. _ To Mr. Powell.
