IBATEMAN'S CONCENTRATED PRE PARATION OF RIO NEGRO o r is one of the most powerful medicinal agents for renovating the Constitution which has ever been introduced to the Public. It sweetens the blood, corrects a bad habit of body, removes pimples and blotches, and is an infallible remedy for Scrofula, Scurvy, Erysipelas, Secondary Sy mptoms, and all tnose disorders originating in impurities of the blood, whether hereditary or otherwise, and particularly those arising from the long-continued use of mercury. This Preparation, which is the result of many years' laborious research and experiment, is thus noticed by Dr. HANCOCK, in his Philosophical Papers, read before the "Medico-Botanical So ciety :" " It is a fact yet unheeded or unknown in Europe, that this species of Sarsa, the Rio Negro, does manifest a p ecu li ar power in healing ulcers in all parts of the body, and removing a multitude of chronical affections. It is scarcely less remarkable for its power in proving the condition and babit o f b o d y, and therefore it is not im without reason esteemed a great restorative; but the narrow views of the Faculty have tended to restrict its use to syphilitic affections, and there appears to be no c ompre h ens i on of its general utility in alter g the condition of the blood and amending the habit of body, as it does most manifestly in scrofulous,consumptive, and dropsical habits, and cachexies--foul or perverted states of the humours, &c."

The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temperarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very muck assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimLtely the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time.

WGREGOR'S REPORT. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE VISCOUNT PAL TMAERRYSTOOFN, s M TA .P T I . I HERM x A O .T R E E S I T G Y N S A P F R FA IN IR CI S P , ALSECRE FOR My Lord, —Agreeably to your Lordship's instruc tions, I left London on the 27th of August last, and proceeded without delay to the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. On my arrival at Naples, I had, accompanied by Mr. Kennedy, her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires, an early interview with his Excellency the Prince di Cas saro, his Sicilian Majesty's Minister for Foreign Af fairs. At this interview the commercial relations be tween the United Kingdom and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies were discussed by the Prince di Cassaro and myself ; and I then stated that the effect of the exclusive sulphur monopoly, granted by his Sicilian Majesty's Minister of the Interior, M. Santangelo, to a M. Taix and Company, WAS so ruinous to the Bri tish merchants and shipowners who had invested their capitals in the trade of Sicily, that her Britannic Ma jesty's Government considered the abolition of that mo nopoly as a sine qua non, before entering into any nego tiations relative to the projected treaty between the Governments of England and of the Two Sicilies, or to the modifications of the Sicilian tariff, conditional upon the abandoning of the immunity of 10 per cent. reduc tion of duty, in favour of merchandize imported into the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, as stipulated by the treaty of 1816. I stated also to his Excellency, that her Majesty's Government could not but consider the granting a mo nopoly of the whole sulphur trade of Sicily to an in dividual or to a company a direct contravention, in principle and in fact, of the treaty of 1816 between England and the Two Sicilies ; inasmuch as it was stipulated by the fifth article of that treaty, that Bri tish subjects might, within the dominions of his Si cilian Majesty, " be entitled to occupy dwellings and warehouses, and to dispose of their personal property of every kind and description by sale, gift, exchange, or will, and in any other way whatever, without the smallest loss or hindrance being given them on that head." Prince Cassaro did not admit nor deny this, but acknowledged the justice of abolishing the sulphur mo nopoly, and that the same would ,be abolished. His Excellency expressed his earnest desire to remove every obstacle to the most durable harmony between the Governments of England and Naples : and I here beg leave to state, that, if all such measures were left entirely to the direction of his Excellency, no dif ficulty could exist, as the high character of the Prince justifies the fullest confidence being placed upon what ever depends on his power to execute. On making myself more thoroughly acquainted with the nature of the sulphur monopoly, the circumstances under which it was granted, and the extensively ruinous effect which it had upon the British trade in and navi gation with Sicily, as represented to me, not only by a numerous body of merchants engaged in that trade and navigation, but also by the most respectable Neapoli tans and many foreigners settled at Naples, and even by several French merchants engaged in the trade be tween Marseilles and Sicily, but not connected with the monopoly, I considered it necessary to communicate by letter to Prince Cassaro what I had stated verbally, and, after elucidating in: detail the great elements of reciprocal commerce which naturally lay open to the most extensive and profitable development between the dominions of their Britannic and Sicilian Majesties, I concluded by saying : " In order, therefore, to extend the commercial rela tions so desirable between kingdoms whose political power and commercial interests are so eminently iden tified that the prosperity of one country can never he ra tionally viewed with jealousy by the other, but which na tional prosperity must, on the contrary, tend to promote the political power, trading interests, and general safety of both, I beg leave most respectfully to state to your Excel lency, that, as her Britannic Majesty's Government are prepared to abolish the differential duties on Sicilian oils, and abandon the stipulation continued by the treaty of 1816, of an allowance of 10 per cent. duty on imports from British ports into those of the King of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and also to extend every, possible privilege and immunity to the navigation of the vessels of the subjects of his Sicilian Majesty trading to the ports of the United Kingdom, and to all the ports in the dominions of her Britannic Ma jesty in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, condi tionally upon the Government of his Sicilian Majesty extending to the navigation and trade of British subjects _ A .-t .1- leges, and relying upon your that the monopoly of the sulphur contract shall be at once abolished, which abolition I am also instructed to represent to your Excellency her Majesty's Govern. ment consider, as a sine qua non preliminary to such important and mutually advantageous arrang ements for the trade, navigati on , an d we lf are o f the do minions of their Sicilian and Britannic Majesties.--1 am," &c. At my next interview (accompanied also by Mr. Kennedy) with the Prin ce di C assaro , hi s E xce ll ency admitted that the abolition of the sulphur monopoly should be considered as a sine qua non to the proposed treaty, and that his Sicilian Majesty had also approved of this preliminary understanding. 1, however, soon discovered, that notwithstanding the undoubted sincerity of the Prince di Cassaro, and the intentions of the King, intrigue and corruption were actively and deeply at work to frustrate the power of the Prince, and the promise expressed by his Majesty. They artfully represented to him that the sulphur monopoly, instead of being an evil, would prove an in estimable blessing to his Sicilian subjects, and that the complaints were merely the clamours of a few usurious British subjects, who, like all their countrymen, were ever at work to overreach the subjects, and oppose the interests of every power but that of England. I confess that the statements made to me relative to the sulphur monopoly, although apparently drawn up from correct numerical returns, startled my confidence in them ; and I felt that it would be at least approaching to hardihood to assert that the opera tions of the sulphur monopoly had cut off the navi gation of more than 300 ships of from 150 to 350 tons, annually employed in the trade between the United Kingdom and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies • that the British capital, profit, and wages so employed annually amounted to at least 2,000,0001. sterling, exclusive of the immense sums invested in money, buildings, and machinery, by a great number of British merchants in the United Kingdom, through their agents in Sicily, in the sulphur mines of that island ; and of the tax imposed by the increased price of sulphur, on British manufactures, amounting to about 300,0001. annually ; and finally, that if the sulphur mo nopoly should be continued, that from 12 to 18 exten sive mercantile establishments in Sicily must unavoid ably disappear, with the loss of all the capital they had invested, and of the consequent loss of the trade and navigation to England. Under these circumstances, I considered it would be necessary for me to visit the island of Sicily. I accordingly proceeded to Palermo. On arriving, I found from the port returns, and from the statements given me by some distinguished men in office, and by some of the principal Sicilian proprietors of mines, as well as by authentic documents, showing the loss to British trade by the operations of the sulphur monopoly, that, at least as far as the British trade and navigation was concerned, none of the accounts given me at Naples were exaggerated. Previously to the monopoly, the average number of British ships which loaded at Pa lermo averaged 191 ; since monopoly 93 ; difference 98. In fact, I saw that the British trade and navigation with that port had decreased more than one-half since the monopoly bad been in force, a period of then little more than thirteen months ; and although Palermo was, in regard to shipping brimstone, but a third-rate port, yet the effect which the monopoly bad on the general trade was such, that but two British vessels were then in the port ; and the effect in regard to the employ ment of the inhabitants was such, that the immediate neighbourhood of the town was infested with bandits. After collecting all the requisite statistical informa tion that could be obtained, I proceeded to visit the shipping ports and sulphur districts. Mr. Craig, a very intelligent gentleman, who knew all parts of Sicily well, and who had also spent some years in the island of Sardinia, and my private secretary, Mr. Frederick Lack, accompanied me. One of the chief proprietors of the wine establishments in the island (Mr. Ingham) also accompanied us to his extensive establishments at Alcamo. At this time that part of the country, as well as all the sulphur districts, and nearly all the rest of Sicily, were in the most unsafe state. Robbers and bandits were committing depredations and murders, and those arrested were tried and executed by martial law. On the road to Palermo we passed sixteen criminals going to execution, and ten were executed the previous week at Trapani. From the latter place, which is the chief centre of the Sicilian salt works, we proceeded to Marsala. Here there are six wine establishments , four British an d t n w t. o Sicilian ; but the two latter are of ver y limited extent. Three of the British are on a large sc ale, and have from 8,000 to 20,000 pipes in annual deposit ; and the fourth, latterly established, only requires the necessary term of years to be equally as extensive. It is not 40 years since the wine trade has been at tempted here ; and extensive as it now undoubtedly is, and nearly all carried on by B ritish enterprise and ca pital, such is the extent of waste land equally fit for vineyards, that the cultivation is comparatively in its commencement. Having left Marsala, we travelled, always on mules, over a wild, thinly peopled, but naturally rich country, to Girgenti, one of the principal shipping ports for brimstone on the south of Sicily. Hero we found that, although the British proprietors had several cargoes prepared for exporting to England, they could ship none ; and we only found one British vessel in the port. The annual number of British vessels which annually carried cargoes of brimstone from the port of Girgenti for the five years previous to the monopoly was— Vessels of from 200 to 350 tons. By the port returns 74 Since the moncroly (I,;r 14 months) 5 Thrown, in consequence, annually out of the trade 69 By the statements given me by the Vice-Con sul at Licata, the average number of British ships r hich loaded at that port, previous to the monopoly, were 6S For the last 15 months, during the rm)noi oly, Only Difference 65 At Terra Nova and Siculiano no sulphur has been shipped in British vessels since the monopoly has been in force. On leaving the southern coast of Sicily we entered the brimstone country, and visited many of the principal mines. We found the population, which, previously to the monopoly, had been constantly employed and regu larly paid, generally assembled in idle multitudes, and in many parts, especially at Favara and Cannicati, living by plunder, or by levying contributions on those who possessed any property. Previously to the mono poly, it was customary to send a boy on a mule across the country, from Girgenti to Palermo for money, and he always returned safe with from 1,000 to 3,000 ducats intrusted to him. When we traversed the island the same amount would scarcely have been considered safe under an escort of six or eight armed Cainpieri. In regard to the capital invested by British subjects in the sulphur mines, the representations made to me at Naples appeared, on visiting those mines, in no de gree exaggerated ; and sufficient proof was afforded me of their advances to the proprietors, and of the money they had expended in erecting buildings, sinking shafts, and in the heavy cost of machinery. On traversing the interior, from Girgenti to Castra giovanni, and thence to Catania, we found, amidst the most abundant natural fertility, very general poverty, the land-tax and other burdens on agriculture being so oppressive, that a great proportion of the soil lay uncultivated, and frequently whole villages and towns without inhabitants. At Catania, although brimstone has only formed a part of general exports from that port, the returns given nie by Mr. Leaf, the very intelligent British Vice-Con sul there, show— The average annual number of British ships previous to the monopoly were Since the monopoly only 5 Difference The trade between Malta and Catania and the south side of Sicily, formerly important, has been for some time greatly crippled by differential exactions which, exclusive of many vexatious annoyances, have been, in regard to the Maltese, very oppressive, and, in propor tions to their means, highly injurious. At Messina, the returns given me by the British Con sul and others, state That the average number of British ships which had loaded annually at that port, were for five years previous to monopoly 196 Since the monopoly 73 Difference 123 Thus showing that in the navigation of the ports of Palermo, Girgenti, Licata, Catania, Messina, there were employed annually for five years previous to the monopoly For the 15 months during the monopoly, only 179 Difference against British navigation... 384 To the vast importance of this carrying trade there • must be added the very great commerce dependent upon it, such as the freight outwards, and markets for British and Colonial merchandise, arid the tax of morn than 300,000/. sterling per annum, which the enhanced price of brimstone imposes upon (used as a chemical agent) British manufactures. In short, the conclusion which I was compelled to form, on the evidence of all the facts which came un disputed before me while in Sicily, was, that the con tinuance of the brimstone monopoly must inevitably destroy the whole British trade and naviaation w i th auu Ul ►:ecessiLy ureeK up irom r to extensive Lrttan mercantile est:bl:shments; while, at the same time, nearly all the sulphur proprietors, who arc remarkably attached to the British nation, would be ruined. His Majesty received me with a great deal of con descension, and expressed his most earnest wish to main tain the most friendly understanding with England, arid his very great desire to conclude a treaty for the pur pose of extendinc , the commercial interests and strength ening the political' alliance between his Government and that of her Britannic Majesty. His Sicilian Majesty further assured me that her Britannic Majesty might depend on his fidelity (loyaute) in these expressions. Of his Majesty's sincere intentions I had no reason to doubt ; but in the Minister of the Interior I knew there could be no confidence placed, and with his influence at Court, and especially over his Majesty's confessor, and knowing his determination at all hazards to maintain the sulphur monopoly, which he had granted to M. Taix, I stated to Prince Cassaro, that unless I could be assured that the monopoly should cease to exist on or before the Ist day of January, 1840, I must break off all fur tiler negotiations in respect of the projected tariff and treaty, and leave Naples for England in a few days ; and that her Britannic Majesty's Government would,l most assuredly, hold the Government of his Sicilian I Majesty responsible for full indemnity to British sub jects, for all injuries sustained in consequence of the said monopoly. Prince Cassaro at our next interview said, that his Sicilian Majesty had determined to abolish the mono poly ; that he hoped that I would not insist on a note verbale to that effect ; that he granted the monopoly was a great error, but that his Majesty could not involve his honour so far as to commit a confession of such an error to writing, and he (the Prince) assured Mr. Ken nedy and myself that the monopoly should cease to be in effect before the Ist day of January, 1840, as de manded by me. I was assured of the same, two days after, by the Austrian Ambassador, Count Lebzeltern, who had been with Prince di Cassaro, and also by M. Dupont, chief farmer of the customs of the Two Sicilies. In consequence of which, and the very perplexing state of British trade with the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, I entered into the consideration of the several articles of the principal treaty, and the modifications of the tariff of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. In do ing so, in the absence of the instructions which I under stood were to be very soon sent after me, I can only plead the very perplexing circumstances under which I acted ; and, from finding it impossible to arrange, or even to enter upon the arrangements of the modifica tions of the tariff to be annexed to a treaty, until at least the principal provisions of such treaty should be understood by the Neapolitan Government. On the 25th November last, having signed each ar ticle as agreed to, ad referendum, for your Lordship's approbation, I left Naples for England. In elucidation of the objects of my mission, and of the resources and trade of the kingdom of the Two Si cilies, I beg leave to refer your Lordship's attention to the annexed statistical appendices. In concluding this report, I feel bound to state the readiness at all times of his Excellency Prince di Cas saro to enter frankly at once upon every subject of dis cussion, and to assure your Lordship, that not only the sulphur monopoly, but all other just causes 4; ? ov f complaint on the part of her Br itannic Majesty's ernllient, would never have existed or have been continued had Prince Cassaro the direction of, or control over those matters, and were it not for that power of intrigue which has prevailed over the truly honest views and exertions of the Prince. To Mr. Kennedy's active assistance to me I also fee' bound to bear the fulle i l a t l c e stiz c ony. London, June 30, 1840. JOHN MACGREGOR.

Yesterday the City Lands Committee and the Ge. • neral Purposes Committee met at Guildhall, for the pur pose of deliberating* upon the most proper mode of re ceiving; his Royal Highness Prince Albert cn the i3Bth instant, the day appointed for the ceremony of present ing the freedom of the City to that illustrious person&Erc. The two Committees, we understand, ultintateis came to the determination to fit up the eastern portico of the hall for the accommodation of ladies, apd -the flooring, will be completely laid down in the hull in the coarse of this day. Each Member of the Corporation will, it is believed, be authorised to introduce four per ' sons to the seats which the City Surveyor has been di rected to erect round the arena in which the ceremony is to be performed, and the public will be admitted to the lower part of the building. The ceremony will be extremely short, and will commence exactly at five o'clock, and it is expected that his Royal Highness will be sea.teei l ig his dinner at the Mansion-house at six. WheriTnnce Leopold of Saxe Coburg was presented with the freedom of the City in the Mayoralty of Alder. man Wood, on the 11 th of July, 1816, there was no preparation made for the reception of fanale spectators of the scene, although the Dukes of Kent, Sussex, and Gloucester were presented` with the freedom on _.the same day. Upon that occasion the ceremony was per formed on the hustings, and his Serene Highness was ushered into the Hall by Lord Erskine, and received in the Council Chamber on his entrance by the Lord Mayor and the Corporation Officers ; and the Chief Magistrate introduced the Members of the Court of Common Council to the illustrious stranger. The City Chamberlain (Mr. Clarke), in address ing- Prince Leopold, upon presenting him with a mani ficent gold box, containing the freedom,.aliuded to the Royal union, in the following words, after sonic compli mentary acknowledgments of his Serene Highness's mi litary services :—" Allow me, Sir, to express a wish that you may long continue in the possession of connu bial felicity—that your Royal bride may cross ti our wishes with a race of Princes, who may inherit. the virtues and graces of their parents, and be willing z!nd able to protect the Citizens of London in the enjoys. went of those invaluable privileges which have been handed down to them by their ancestors, the preserva tion of which is not less essential to the interests of the State than dear to those aom your Serene Highness has condescended to call your fellow-citizens." • His Serene Highness and the Royal Dukes, after tire ceremony, accompanied the Lord Mayor to the Man sion House, where a splendid entertainment was pre pared ; and in the evening the Lady Mayoress gave a grand ball to about 2,000 individuals, on which occa sion the Duke of Sussex was the only member of the Royal family who danced. Prince Albert will be received, we arc told, by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, City officers, and Commons Councilmen in their full dress gAwns, The following is the oath which will be administered to his 11 oyel Highness, by Sir James Shaw, in the Guildhall. W e recollect, when it was administered to Prince Leopold, twenty-four years ago, that there was a good deal of merriment occasioned by the reading of several oft e passages. Our readers will soon perceive where the laughter, in which the three Royal Dukes most iseasstity joined, occurred : " he shall swear that y.,...1 1 4, on d ~,.„ ,„ • stt, OLIO to toe new. -- of our said Sovereign the Queen. Obeyslnt and obeli cut-ye shall be to the Mayor and Ministers of city. The franchises and customs thereof ye Flo, maintain, and this City keep harmless in that that in You is. Ye shall be contributory to all manner of charges within this City, as summons, watches, con tributions, taxes, toilages, lot and scot, and to all other charges, bearing your part as a freeman ought to do. Y.t shall colour no foreign goods, under or in your mutt , , whereby the Queen or this City might lose their customs or advantages. Ye shall know no foreigner to buy or sell any nieichandize with any other foreigner within Cc. ; City or franchise thereof, but ye shall warn the Cham berlain thereof, or some minister of the Chamber. I' d shall implead or sue no freeman out of the City, whilst ye may have right and law within the same City. t shall take no apprentice, but if he be free born,thot is to say, no bondsman's son, nor the child of any atiea. and for no less term than seven years, without fraud or deceit ; and within the first year ye shad cause him to be hirolled, or else pay such fine us ghitil be reasonably imposed upckn you for omitting the same. And after his term's end, within convenient time, (being required) ye shall make him free of this City if he has well an , t truly served you. Ye shall also keep the Queen'.; peace in your own person. Ye shall know no gather ings, conventicics, nor conspiracies made against th , s Queen's peace, but ye shall warn the Mayor thereo, or let it to your power. All these points and ar-• ticks ye shall well and truly keep according to tirt laws and customs of this City to your person. So God you help." The sonorous voice with which the freeman's oath was read by Mr. Clark, the Chamberlain, who oflliate(k on the occasion to which we have adverted, told with great effect in enumerating the duties. The solimoity of Sir James Shaw's manner, which is peculiarly impres sive, would probably increase the effect likely to be pro duced by the odd application of the several items of the oath, but the worthy Baronet has a knack of lowering his voice when in his official station he happens to har.l anything to pronounce calculated in his opinion to sink its dignity. It is expected that those who are to attend to wit.nessa the ceremony will be rather particular in their attire. Mr. Harper, the celQbrated performer on the trumpet, is, we are informed, to lead the band in the Guildhall The severe illness of the Lady Mayoress will, we regret to say, not only prevent her Ladyship from receiving company in the evening in honour of the event, but will, it is apprehended, incapacitate her Ladyship from gracing the board in the Egyptian Hall, which is to present as extraordinary exhibition of turtle and venison, and every thing else that is delicious and desirable. CATHOLIC INTOLERANCE. --While revel. • ; in the beauties of nature, 1 did all I could to forget ts,J atrocities committed in these valleys of the Waldenses, ut the name of a religion of love. Even now, things .Ire nur, as they should be, and as to anything like an equillity of rights between the two sects, such a thing is not evert dreamed of. The Waldenses are shut up in their valley ts as the Jews in the Jews' quarter ; they are not permitted to make any fresh purchases of lauded property, an i con— stant endeavours are made to obtain by cliancry :Ind in sult what barbarity was unable to effect.
