ARISS' PULMONIC ClGARETTES.—Phy sicians have long discovered thk in diseases of the lungs and air passages, a remedy to be really efllaacious must come in direct contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it be administered under the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs, hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

(From The Sun of last night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was quiet. Sales, 3,C00 to 4,000 bales. There was no ah eration in prices or in the general tone of the market. Shares were firm. The renewal of " wintry weather" 'Ras had already an in fluence upon the corn market, and The Sun report, in ano ther column, will show an advance of about 24. in wheat, while barley, also, is 2s. to 3e. higher. We understand that there has been rather a large parcel of grain taken to be for warded to Stockton-on• Tees. Some new regulations have been adopted by the Russian Government with respect to the forwarding of goods to or from Persia. European merchandise going to Persia or coming to Europe through the Trans-Caucasian provinces must be sent to Redut Kale, or Suchum Kale, and thence by Tiflis to Norchitschewan. Goods for Persia must be brought to Bahu, and thence to Tiflis and Redut Kale or Suchum Kale. The loss that is likely to be sustained by the Prussian commercial interest in consequence of the annexation of Cracow is very great, viz., 9,000,000 dollars per annum, of which Breslau suffers to the extent of four millions, Berlin three, and Stettin two millions of dollars. Information has been received of the arrival at South ampton of the West India steamer, but the letters have not yet come to hand, and are anxiously expected, as they may bring interesting intelligence from Mexico. The accounts from Lisbon excite, as may be supposed, very great attention, and, in ,some quarters, necessarily sa tisfaction too. The Government of Donna Maria must learn, however, to temper its successes with mercy, or even its most zealous partisans in the City will become ashamed to defend its policy. The tyranny of the Lisbon Court seems undeniable, but revolutions have proved hitherto so little advantageous to English interests, that we cannot feel surprised at the gratification which many experience at the defeat of the Miguelites, and the anticipated subjugation of theOporto insurgents. The bondholders, at least will have good reason to rejoice, if one piece of news communicated by the present arrival should prove correct, vie., that the double decima on the Foreign Dividends is to be abolished. The Public Securities have to-day been decidedly flatter, and there is the usual feature, viz., a fall in Consols with a rise in wheat. The Bank of ngland, also, it is rather anti cipated, will continue to be a seller of Government Securities, in order to strengthen its position. For Transfer to-morrow Consols have been 90% %, and are the same for the A ccoun t D ay . The New Three and-a-Quarter ptr Cents. have been 9i% % and the Reduced Three per Cents. 90% to 91. Exchequer Bills have realised ss. to Bs. premium. The Foreign Securities have been quite neglected, and there has not been a bargain officially reported in Spanish, Mexican, or the other leading Stocks. Portuguese, however, have been rather more buoyant at 34 1 ,4 to 35 1 ,1. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been steady at 58; and the Four per Cents. at 921 A to 92%.

She brings on freight 243,464 dollars, the whole of which aro on merchants' account; there is not one for dividends. The Dee does not bring news of any importance from Central America. Troops were co ll ect i ng from all quarters to repel General Flores, whose movements in Europe have been greatly exaggerated. A coalition of the different republics on the Pacific was forming to prevent his landing from Mexico. We learn that Santa Anna was with his army at San Luis Potosi, but re ports had reached Mexico that he had marched out to meet the American army. It was thought the Ameri cans would soon be at the gates of Mexico, and dictate their own terms to the Mexicans. The Dec brings 61 passengers.

There was a very numerously attended meeting of he lruth party" on Saturday, at their apartments in Old Palace yard, Westminster, specially convened for the purpose of considering the Bill introduced into the House of Commons by Lord J. Russell, Sir George Grey, and Mr. Labouchere, " to make further provisions for the relief of the destitute poor in Ireland." Lord Monteagle was called upon to preside. Among the blembers of the Houses of Peers and Commons present were—the Earl ofMsuntcashell, Viscount Done raile, the Earl of Fi nga ll, the of Conngham. Lord Marquis of Sligo, the Marquis G. A Hamilton, Mr. W. Cle m ent s , Mr. D. O'Connell, Mr. jun., Mr. W. R. Collett, Mr. Robert Dillon Browne, Colonel Acton, Mr. Robert Archbo l d , Sir H. W. Barron, H on . P. Butler, Mr. Daniel Callag han, Mr. O'Brien, Mr. James Power, Mr. Edward G Mr. Mr. William Henry Gregor"-, Sir Thomas Esmonde, F. French, Mr. H. Grattan, Mr. James Kelly, M r. Anthony Lefroy, Mr. John O'Brien, Mr. Ralph Osborne, Capt a i n The Noble Crum, Taylor, and Mr H. M. Tuite. It was gener a lly read the clauses of the Bill seriatim. agreed that the present powers of the guardians were n ot sufficient for the due relief of the poor, and there appe are d t o ex i s t an unanimous opinion as to the necessity of empowering and requiring union boards of guardians to r e li eve d es tit u te persons permanently disabled byold age, infirmity, or bodily or mental defect , either in r out of the workhouse, as might be considered expedient. Upon the second clause of the Bill, which enacted that the guardians might be authorised by the Poor-law Com missioners to give outdoor relief to persons not permanently disabled, there was considerable discussion. The principle of extending this mode of relief in food, save in cases of sudden and urgent necessity, found a number of supporters, but there were some who expressed themselves antagonistic to the Ministerial proposition in terms almost similar to those which they declared immediately after Lord John Russe ll's exposition of his projected Irish policy in the Ho of Commons. The fourth and fifth—save as to the number of relieving officers that might be deemed requisite—sixth, seventh, and eighth clauses of the Act were briefly considered. The ninth clause, which provided that all relief given out of the workhouse under the provisions of the Act should be charged upon the poor-rates of the whole union, and that no relief given under the authority of the Act should be ministered out of the union to which it was charged, caused an animated and protracted discussion. The great majority of Memberi present declared themselves favourable to, and determined to support, a continuance of the present sys tem of taxation by proportionate assessment on the electoral districts. It was generally admitted, however, that the mode of as sessing the poor's-rate should only last until there would be more leisure to effect cautious and salutary changes in the distribution of taxation. The clause rendering the administration of relief under the Act subject to the direction and control of the Poor-law Commissioners having been duly eallvas.,ed, r.nd it icing ar ranged that :,tinieterb ::would be questioneu in Ccminitt,;:: as to the fall extent a the power 2 -cith which it was intended to invest them, the thanks of the meeting were voted to Lord Monteagle, and an adjournment shortly _ afterwards took Ricii SD.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.) C ORM -raccu'Aivaz. Coastwise, up to our market last week, the arrivals of. English Wheat, Barley, Malt, Oats, Beans, and Hour, were seasonably extensive, but those of other articles of home produce were small. The receipts from Scotland were on the increase, but those from Ireland were miserably small. For the time of year, the imports of Foreign Grain were mo derate, while those of Flour, viz. upwards of 14,000 barrels, chiefly from the United States, were good. Fresh up, the arrivals of English Wheat from Essex, Kent, Cambridge shire, and, indeed, all other quarters, were very small, though *flair average quality. Although the stands exhibited a fair number of teat wades uneoldaamples ofbetheedasid white; the. demand, owing in some measure to several orders having been received from Stockton and others of cur northern porte, and the large attendance of country buyers, was somewhat brisk, at an improvement in the quotations of Monday last of fully 25., in some instances 3s. per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected prior to the conclu sion of business. The show of lard-carriage samples was smaller than for some weeks past. The quantity of foreign Wheat on show was beneath an average, arising from many of the large importers having withdrawn their sem• pies for the present, in anticipation of higher rates. All kinds moved off steadily, at a rise in value of fully one shilling per quarter, at which advance the holders were by no means anxious sellers. Not withstanding the great increase in the supply of Eng lish Barley, that article—as most of the maltsters and dis tillers are unusually short of stock--'was in brisk request, at an enhancement in the quotations of from 2s to 3s per quarter. The quantity of Malt offering was moderately good. Fine parcels were held at le to 2s per quarter more money. In some cases, this advance was paid; but, as it was by no means general, we do not alter our last week's prices. We had a full average quantity of Beans on show. All kinds were consequently in slow request at late currencies. The sale for Peas, the supply of which was small, may be considered steady at full prices. There was only a moderate business doing in Flour, the currencies of which remained as on Monday last, although higher rates were again demanded. Indian Corn was held at very high rates. Most of the par cels brought torward were disposed of; 70s were paid for a floating cargo of United States white. CURRENCY PER IMPERIii.

The nu t.ber of foreign Beasts on sale was shout 1:10, and of Sheep, :00 head, in, comparatively speaking, moderate condition. The demand for them was in a very inactive. state, and previous curren eies were with difficulty supported. With home-fed Beasts we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. The quality of the Norfolk and Devon droves was good ; but there was nothing particular to observe in that of those from most other quarters. The weather being favourable to slaughter ing, and the attendance of buyers good, the Beef trade was steady, at, in some instances, an advance in the currencies obtained on Monday last, of 2d per Sibs; the highest figure for the best Scots being 4s rd per 81b, and at which a fair clearance was effected. Notwithstanding the numbers of Sheep were very small, and a great falling off was observed in the quality of most kinds, the Mutton trade was in a very inactive state, and last week's currencies were with difficulty supported. The primest old Downs were selling at from 4s 10d to 5s per 81b. Prime small Calves sold steadily, at full prices. In all other kinds of Veal next to nothing was doing. The supply on offer was small. There was rather more doing in Pigs, but we can notice no improvement in value. The Bullock droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire, were comprised of about 1,100 Scots, homebreds, and shorthorns. From the northern districts we received 900 shorthorns; from the western and midland counties, 500 Herefords, Devons, runts, &c. ; and from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds.

The arrivals of Meat from Scotland and different parts of England, since Monday last, have been somewhat extensive, they having amounted to nearly 8,000 carcasses. The sup plies of Meat killed in the metropolis have been seasonably good, yet a full average business has been transacted, at fully previous quotations. About 20 carcases of foreign Beef, and 150 ditto of Mutton, have appeared on sale. 491 BOROUGH ANIVSPITAITFIELDS. About 220 tons of Potatoes have been imported during the past week, chiefly from Holland and Belgium.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news aper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was pat into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " airs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grinistone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, ncl the whole of her hair is mach stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Rogenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure et nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasere in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact;,.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and -Irevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the totlet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the grown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

Captain Curry, of the Superb, 80, Oh , tained a passage in her to rejoin his ship. From the Tagus the 'Medea proceads to the East Indies, taking dispatches for Rear-Admirals Dacres (at the Cape) and Inglefield (China).

Four of the dock-yard - riggers are still there; and we hope the Admiralty will take the case of these men in particular, and the whole of the ar tizans who have been employed at the wreck generally, into their consideration, End award them something more ade quate for their services and privations than merely their ra tions and occasional payment for extra hours. Such pay ment is not an adequate rew ar d f or men w h o h ave b een working night and day for three weeks upon a wrec k i n th e winter time and away - from their families. A letter from the Cape, dated Simon's Bay, December 5, from an officer of the squadron on that station, says :—" The President (flag-ship) is here; we have h a d he Columbine, 16, Commander Booth, and the Brilliant, 22, Captain Wat son, here also, the latter for this station from England to re • lieve the Cleopatra, 26, Captain Wyvill ; the former for the East India and Chinaatation ; Commander Booth, hoWever, invalided, and Lieutenant Von Donop, of the President, was put in as acting-commander of her, and has taken her on to her station. She sailed only a few days ago. The Dido, 20, Captain Maxwell, arrived here on the 26th of November from the River Plate, en route to India and China. We expect the Vernon, 50. with the flag of Rear-Admiral Inglefield, on his way to take the chief command on the East India and China station, vice Sir Thomas Cochrane, daily. The Nimrod, 20, Commander Dacres (son of our Commander-in-Chief), is also daily expected from the coast of Africa; she is to take the place of the Mutine, 12, on this station. On the 27th of November a very fine barque, under Brazilian colours, arrived here as prize to the Cleopatra, 26, fitted with slave decks, coppers and shackles on board, but no slaves ; she had just arrived on the coast from Rio; they took her at the end of the Mozambique Channel, and, the day after, the Cleopatra arrived herself, very sickly, more `than 40 men on the sick list, and had lost two ; two more died on the 30th, and several others cannot get over it : their malady is dysentery, which they got at Zanzibar. She will start for England very soon now, but as the Brilliant has one of her lieute aante, master, and two prize crews on board, I suppose she will remain until her return. The Brilliant was to call at Algoa Bay, where she woul.! find orders to return here im mediately to relieve the Cleopatra, whic has been in com tnis,ion now nearly five years. The Caffres are getting quiet :row, and want to treat ter peace in most cases. We have a very etrong face up there, but there are doubts as to what he Governer will do." M".

NEW BISHOPRICS.—The creation of four new bishoprics fur England will be proposed in addition to those already in existence. It is expected that the arrangemenb for the establishment and support of the new sees will not entail any additional charge on the country. The eest_ l ,9 l be defrayed out of the surplus funds at the command or tne Ecclesiastical Commissioners, as far as they are available, PP r on of to he t an raenvde,nupoesrhoafpts,hemcshyurcleab,dantdo afu re equality of the incomes and the duties of the future bisho p s. Manchester will, of course , be one of the new sees,but agartthereradpiero ixbiuti w ithout the necessity of destroying the see of St. Asaph, as proposed by the Act passed for that purpose with the concurr ence of the Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel. r turn called to of These appointments will make no addition to the number of sp iritual peers in the House of Lords. After the increase in the number of bishops, as proposed, the fou r j un i or bi shops, orderse of p of theireers u appointment, it shall m cshalloe to their not t b h e cal inth theileuu seniority, without increasing the present number of the representatives of the Church in the Up per House of P ar li a• ment. Thus the new se es w ill b e not excluded altogeth er , lik e the Bishopersented in turn, and of Sodor and Man. From this arrangement the two Archbish o p s w ill b e exempt, and perhaps th e occupan t s of the three first class sees of London, Durham, and Winchest er, may p continue ntme n s their seats in the L or d s without b ei ng subject to the rotation as to seniority b y wh i ch all fut ur e other sees are to b e regulated. This i s an o arrangement that in e will give gener a l sat i s f act i on. The sphere of utility and active superintend ence w ill b e i ncrease d , w i t h out any diminution apit t o keep of the digaity or political influence of the Church. The good understanding between political parties, and the absence of ecclesiastical jealousy or suspicion points to the present as a most favourable moment for the calm considera tion and unfactious settlement of so desireable a measure of practical reformation.—Observer.
