SUMMER, TO the custom of periodical visits to the Sea Coast, in situations usually exposed to the sun's most fervid rays, and destitute of the cool and delicious shadows of the sylvan retreat, we frequently trace many cases of cutaneous malady. Solar heat produces upon the delicate, skin a species of 41 e in flaiiimation, which, upon subsidin , 'ayes a permanent strain of inveterate tan, or sprinkles of ckle ;in other instances, a discolouration inclining to red s and swelling, afterwards easily excited to assume some one of the multitudinous forms of eruption. There exists no doubt, that these evils are materially aggravated by SALINE VAPOUR, or by SEA BATHING, which latter, though salubrious as a tonic, cannot be otherwise than unfavourable to the susceptibility of the Female Complexion to injury from stimulating and acrid causes.—The ONLY efficient PREVENTIVE against these un pleasant liabilities of the SKIN and COMPLEXION is ROW LAND'S KALYDOR, an auxiliary of vital importance to the support of Feminine Beauty ! By its use, the effects of atmospheric influence upon the skin are entirely neutralized, and that constant healthy action of the minute vessels pro moted—on which depend continued delicacy of texture and tint. The distressing and unsightly varieties of Cutaneous Eruptions are also promptly eradicated by the KALYDOR. Spots, Pimples, Freckles, Discolourations, and Sallowness, yield to its specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smooth ness and transparency of the skin, giving rise to the most pleasurable sensations. LADIES TRAVELLING, or temporarily subjected to any deviation of equable temperature, will find in the KALYDOR a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispelling the cloud of languor from the complexion, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The ARMS, NECK, and HANDS also partake largely of the advantages derived from its use, exhibiting a delicacy of appearance heretofore scarcely attainable—even with the most sedulous care and attention. ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, composed of EXOTICS OF THE MOST BALSAMIC NATURE, and free from MINERAL AD MIXTURE, is of especial use in allaying incidental Inflamma tion, and infallible in removing all harshness and irritability : it will also be found highly useful to Gentlemen who suffer from those causes after SHAVING. Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per Bottle, duty included. *** NOTICE—The Name and Address of the Proprietors, A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton-yarden, London, are engraved on the Government Stamp, which is pasted on each Bottle ; also printed, in red, on the Wrapper in which each is enclosed.

To the Clergy who may wish to possess Portraits of the Bishops who ordained them, and are over them in the Lord," and likewise of their College and Clerical friends ; and of living authors whom they have read and esteem, the present Work will be full of interest and oleasn re To Parochial Congregations also it will afford high gratifica tion to be able individually to posaaga themselves of a faithful Portrait of the Pastor from whom they receive the advantages of religious instruction and spiritual consolation, and whom they have been led to " esteem highly for his work's sake." The numerous Lay friends and relatives of the Clergy will also have an opportunity of obtaining accurate Portraitures of those who are endeared to them by the ties of nature. In all these, and many other respects, this Work cannot fail of becoming of great utility and interest to the vast body of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the British Empire. The Portraits will be selected without the least regard to political or other differences of opinion. Eminence in Ecclesiastical rank, intellectual abilities, learning, virtue, or religious zeal, being the great objects proposed to be recorded. _ _ . _ The Me - moirs will be confined to a review of the academical course and public life of the Clergyman whose likeness is given, together with a list of any religious or literary works which he may have published. Facts will be stated, while all critical and controversial observations likely to offend will be excluded. It has been suggested by very high authority, that it would add much to the interest and value of the work, if each Clergyman would furnish a short exposition of a passage of Scripture. The Proprietors cheerfully accede to this suggestion, and respectfully solicit the favour of such communications. And as only about four pages on an average can be appropriated to each Memoir and Scriptural illustration, brevity will be highly desirable. The Portraits will be engraved in the first style of the Art, and neither trouble nor expense spared to render this great Work worthy of the noble cause to which it is dedicated, and one of the most splendid that has ever appeared. A Part, containing three Portraits, with their respective Memoir, will be published on the first day of every alternate mopth, in a thick, handsome wrapper, for the protection of the Plates. The size of each engraving will be nine inches by seven. s. d. Price of each Part, India Proofs .

This person had many years located at Goole, and had unbounded confi dence reposed in him, having been always considered a good man of business. He had recently effected unusually large purchases of corn, which he had disposed of in the west country, but has not settled for it with the sellers.—Doncas ter Chronicle. DISCOVERY OF THE VALUABLE CHRONOMETER BE LONGING TO THE " CRUSADER."-011 Saturday afternoon last, about half-past one o'clock, G. M. Crookall, of Lytham, was walking at South Shore, near Blackpool, and immediately in the vicinity of South Shore church, he saw something having the appearance of a watch, apparently very valuable, loosely laid at the mouth of a hole, in a sandy cop ; he im mediately got it out, and, on examination, it was found to be the rich and massive chronometer belonging to the ship Crusader, which was wrecked on the banks of the Ribble during the memorable storm in January last. There is not the slightest d bt that the chronometer was placed on the cop, for the puilfose of being found, by some individual who has had it in his possession for some time, and who, no doubt, has had his fears of being discovered with it. This sup position is well borne out by the following circumstances, viz. the wreck was lying off Blackpool for some time aft er the catastrophe, the bulk of the cargo being retained; and from the peculiar situation of the chronometer, there is strong reason to believe that it was stolen from the vessel, so many persons in the neighbourhood visited the spot. The chro nometer is 71b. in weight, the case of gold, and it is also inlaid with pearls and diamonds. Mr. Crookall took it to the Marine Office in - Liverpool, on Tuesday afternoon, and we understand that he is entitled to the salvage (one half its value.) The chronometer is insured for the sum of £BO9 itafullyalue .lamsoo- guingatit.—PreMotr atterves. SHAWLS. A/ESSRS. J. and J.

Dr. RAFFLES. Edge-hill, February, 1839. " Gentlemen,—l am exceedingly obliged to you for having afforded me a sight qf the elegant volumes you sent for my inspection. Your edition of the Bible, in the beauty qf its typography, and the taste displayed in its decorations, is certainly unique ; and I trust that many will •be induced to make a book, so precious as to its contents, and so graceful in its ornaments, the medium of expressing their regard for those relations and friends to whom they desire to present some token of their esteem.

PA.cr.—A few days ago, a loz of St. John's yellow pine timber, cut up in the Greenock patent saw-mill, was found to contain a hive of bees, in a most perfect state of preservation. The log was a root cut of 35 feet in length, and 26 inches square. It was about 140 years of age, as in dicated by the annular fibres of the wood. The age of the tree, at the period when the bees seem to have taken up their abode in it, must have been from 30 to 40 years, as all the timber beyond that age was perfectly sound and without per foration. The insects were found in drouses of various sizes, all the way up from the bottom of the tree to near the upper end, and each drouse was connected with the other by a small aperture, or passage, by which a connection was established between all the compartments of the hive. Bees in all stages of growth, and without wings, were found in it, and the full grown bees, in a state of perfect preservation, presented an appearance exactly similar to that of our own honey bee after being destroyed by smoke.—One of the cells filled with the bees still remains at the mill for the inspection of the curious in natural history.—Greenock Advertiser. ARRIVAL OF THE BODY OF LADY FLORA HASTINGS AT EDINBURGH.—The Royal William (steamer,) which con veyed the remains of this lamented lady from London to Scotland, left St. Catherine's Wharf about half-past ten on Wednesday night, the 10th instant, and arrived at Leith, at seven o'cleck on Friday evening. It has been the wish of the afflicted family that the funeral arrangements should be conducted in as private a manner as possible, and up to the present moment nothing has interfered to render them in any degree public. Several of the-servants of the family proceeded to Leith in the same boat with their departed mistress, and one of them was especially an object of interest with all on board—viz., a Swiss girl, who was Lady Flora's maid, and whose affectionate solicitude, we understand, scarcely ever allowed her to be absent from her bed side during the whole of her painful illness. The girl, on her departure from the palace, her Majesty presented with £5O and subsequently with a turquoise brooch of considerable value, in token of her approbation of the unremitting attention and devoted affection with which she had watched over her persecuted and dying mistress. The body was intrusted to the care of Alexander Hunter, Esq., of Edinburgh, the friend and solicitor of the family, and its arrival at Leith was privately conveyed in a hearse to the residence of that gentleman near Calton Hill, whence it would proceed to Loudon on Saturday. BELLY STATISTICS OF PARIS.—The consumption of butchers' meat in Paris, during the month of June last, was much below that of the corresponding month of last year, as it comprised only 4,837 oxen, 1,968 'cows, 6,438 calves, and 31,186 sheep. In June, 1838, it had been 5,494 oxen, 1,800 cows, 7,332 calves, and 34,204 sheep. The consumption in June, 1838, exceeded, accordingly, by 657 oxen, 732 cows, 894 calves, and 3,018 sheep, that of the corresponding month in 1839. This falling off in the consumption is very consider able. During the first six months of 1839 there were con sumed 36,069 oxen, 8,003 cows, 37,803 calves, and 201,068 sheep. The consumption, during the two first quarters of 1838, was 36,574 oxen, 10,469 cows, 39,238 calves, and 209,925 sheep. The consumption in 1839 was, accordingly, inferior by 505 oxen, 466 cows, 1,435 calves, and 5,857 sheep, to that of the corresponding period of 1838.—Journal des Debats. JUDGE LYNCH.—A gambler on a Mississippi steam-boat was detected in cheating while playing cards with the deck hands, when they lashed him to the end of the piston-rod, allowing him but three feet of slack rope ; and in this way they worked him, first pulling him one way and then causing him to spring for his life to prevent being crushed by the re turning piston, and making him keep time to the celebrated new air of " Here she goes, there she goes," until they had worked out of him, in sweat and in swearing, fully the amount of all he had won, when they left him go. SWIMMING FEAT OF THE DUKE OF BORDEAUX—A Cor respondent of the Gazette de France, at Presburg, in men tioning the recent visit of the Duk e o f Bordeaux, states, that his royal highness performed a remarkable feat in swimming while stopping there. The duke had told some of his friends of his intention to swim from the Margaret Island, in the Danube, to the swimming -school, and, this having got ru- • moured abroad, a great number of young Hungarian gentle men went to wait for his royal highness, in the island, in swimming costume of brilliant colours. As soon as the prince appeared on the shore a military band struck up some lively airs, and the gentlemen advanced to pay their respects.— The duke appeared flattered with this unexpected reception, and shortly after, at the head of his cortege, plunged into the stream. A boat preceeded him with the Hungarian colours flying, and several others followed the party with bands of music. On account of the length of the traject a boat had been stationed half -way for the prince to rest higaself in if be pleased, but he declined doing so, and swam on, with the greatest ease, to the end of his appointed course. NEWLY DISCOVERED POWER IN PROJECTILES.—AII ex periment was tried early on Thursday last with a newly in vented projectile, intended expressly to meet and set at de fiance the improvements suggested by various French com missions, for their navy, and which have attracted a greater degree of public attention in England, from their avowed ob ject being " to the advantage of the power which had the fewest great ships of the line, and the largest population ; and, consequently to the advantage of France over England." A large and strong-built boat was the subject of the experi ment ; the distance was left to choice, with the single proviso, that the object fired at should be in sight. The inventor, Captain Warner, launched with his own hand the destructive missile, which, reaching the bo a t a t th e wa t er -li ne , exploded, fairly heaving her up, and scattering the planks into shivers. One plank alone of the whole retained a breadth of about three inches, and perhaps two feet in length ; the rest, and the keel itself, as they fell after the lapse of some seconds into the water, presented a mere mass of floating splinters to the eye, and portions of the wood were carried into the neigh bouring fields to a considerable distance.—The whole des truction was effected by the agency of two and a half pounds of combustible matter projected by an instrument of perhaps ten or a dozen pounds weight. There was no recoil, what ever, nor any smoke or noise till the shell itself exploded a gainst the vessel, and then the percussion of air was tremen dous, as it threw down the nearest spectator, and was felt at a still greater distance like the discharge of an eighty-pounder at least. At Kingstown it created great commotion, as the explosion was attributed to the powder-mills at Hounslow ; and, since the fact has become known, the excitement has greatly increased. No vessel of the line probably could have resisted the shock, or escaped total destruction from even the small quantity of combustibles experimented with. The most singular circumstance perhaps is, that not the slightest discoloration was visible on any of the fragments. The power consequently is quite novel, and the secret jealously pardecl. Mprmise alatoside. _ • MANCHESTER.—The increased firmness observed in the Liverpool cotton market since ThurSday last, instead of causing an improvement here, appears to have an opposite tendency, as the demand for yarn yesterday was decidedly smaller than on the preceding Tuesday ; and, in order to make sales, spinners were generally compelled to submit to a reduction of about id. per pound on the prices of that day. The fact seems to be, that the buyers of yarn will not come freely into the mallet, until they are satisfied that the cotton speculation has been fairly broken down, and the price of the material has reached its natural level. We believe that, if the prices of Thursday last had continued to the present time, there would have been a considerable business done, both in cotton yarn. Not that the spinners, as a body, would have been disposed to stock themselves heavily with cotton at those prices ; but their purchases for present consumption would probably have been rather extensive. The advance of a halfpenny a pound, however, since Thursday, had a con siderable tendency to check purchases ; and many consumers, who went to Liverpool with the intention of taking two or three weeks' consumption, have contented themselves with supplying their immediate necessities ; and, as we have already intimated the effect produced on the market here, has been unfavourable. The goods market has been somewhat better than that for yarn, and the prices are tolerably well supported, though still by no means remunerative. The working of short time consequently continues in full force. The spinners and manufactures at Stockport—who, as our readers may recollect, have already worked short time for nearly a month—held another meeting on Monday last, and agreed to prolong .the period for a second month, commenc ing on the 22d instant. It will also be be seen from a para graph elsewhere, copied from a Preston paper, that the spinners of that town have also agreed to work short time, which indeed may now be said to be universal;, for, in those establishments where no formal arrangement to the effect has been made, every opportunity of limiting production is embraced.—Manchester Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 15. — There is still a good demand for flannels, and a fair amount of business has been done. Purchasers have been obliged to give a little advance in price. The wool market remains steady at former prices, and manufacturers seem desirous to buy for present use only. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JULY 16.—There is little or no change to note this week ; the usual dullness of the trade, during the hay harvest, being apparent. Nevertheless, a fair business is doing, especially in heavy woollens and superior fancy waistcoatings. Prices are firm, and the raw material has undergone no change. THE COTTON TRADE IN PRESTON.—MOSt Of the in fluential houses connected with the cotton trade in this town have come to a resolution to work their spinning machinery r only four days per week, for one month, commencing from the 19th instant. A week's notice of their intention will be given to their hands to-night. Those spinners who are also power-loom manufacturers will continue to work their power looms full time as usual; the object being to consume as much as possible of the stock of yarn now in the market, and to reduce the consumption of the raw material, by which the present value of the yarn will be maintained, if not enhanced ; whilst the price of the latter will, in all probabi lity, be considerably reduced.—Preston Chronicle. SELECT EXTRACTS. THE DAGUERREOTYPE.—A few days since M. Daguerre exhibited in one of the rooms attached to the Chamber of Deputies, several specimens of the products of the Daguerreo type. Among them were views of three streets of the capital, the interior of M. Daguerre's atelier, and a group of busts in the collection of the Louvre. The deputies who examined them, and who.continued to crowd the room throughout the day, were particularly struck with the marvellous minuteness of detail which these views, and especially those of the streets, exhibited. In one, representing the Pont Marie, all the minutest indentations and divisions of the ground of the buildings, the goods lying on the wharf, even the small stones under the water at the edge of the stream, and the different degrees of transparency given to the water, were all shown with the most incredible accuracy. The use of a magnifying glass revealed an infinity of other details quite undistinguish able by the naked eye, and more particularly in the foliage of trees. The antique busts are said to have been rendered by this method with very great beauty of effect. The chemical substance upon which the light acts, according to M. Da guerre's method, is laid upon the sheets of copper, which for the drawing, exhibited on Saturday, were about nine or ten inches by six or seven inches. The expense of such plates M. Daguerre estimates at about 3fr 50c each, but he expects that considerable reductions may be ultimately made in their cost, and that the improvement of his method will render it applicable to other substances not metallic. —G alignani. COST OF DIFFERENT LIGHTS.—At a late meeting of the institution of civil engineers, a paper was read, entitled "Ex perimental Researches upon the Cost of Light afforded by different Lamps and Candles," by Andrew Ure, M.D. F.R.S. &c. The author, having instituted a series of experiments to determine the advantages of Mr. Parker's new hot oil lamp, adopts as the standard of comparison the French me chanical lamp, in which the oil is raised by machinery, so as continually to overflow at the bottom of the burning wick. The relative illumination was determined by the well-known method of the equal intensity of shadows, and verified by that adopted by Professor Wheatstone, namely, by the relative brightness of the opposite sides of a revolving ball. The chimney of the new lamp differs from the chimnies of other lamps in having a bell-mouthed glass chimney, and above it a chimney of iron, with a parted diaphragm for the purpose of causing a certain portion of the heat of the flame to rever berate against the interior cylindric cavity of the oil cistern. The bell mouth is formed in a mould, and is far better suited for producing a steady flame than the rectangularly contracted chimney of the mechanical lamp. The intensity of the sha dows from the mechanical lamp and hot oil lamp of a wire a few inches long, and of the thickness of a crow quill, was equal, at a distance of 10 and 11 feet respectively; their re lative illuminations being as the squares of these are, 100 and 121 respectively, and the consumption of the best sperm oil was 15.2 and 11.6 grains per minute ; the relative cost of il lumination for this oil would then appear to be 50 per cent in favour of the new lamp. On trying southern whale oil. the cost of illumination appeared to be about one-third that of the mechanical, and one-half that of the hot oil lamp, with sperm oil. The author tried many other substances, and, comparing the various illuminations, concludes that the hot oil lamp with soutthern whale oil aro, ds on economy of light nearly 12 times greater than sterine or German wax =die!, 71 tunes greater' than tallow mould, 11 times greater tlan cocoa nut, 81 times greater than Palmer's, 171 times greater than spermaceti, and 18 times greater than wax candles.— The author had also compared the illumination produced by one of the Fresnel's lamps deposited at the Trinity House. The lamp consists of four concentric circular wicks, placed in a horizontal plane, the innermost being 7-Bths of an inch, and the outermost 31 inches in diameter. The intensity of the shadows from this and from the mechanical lamp were equal at a distance of 13 feet 3 inches, and 4 feet 3 inches respectively; taking the squares of these, the Fresnel lamp gives about nine times the light of the mechanical, which latter may be assumed are equal to that of eleven average wax candles.. On comparing one of the best argand lamps with the mechanical, the former was to the latter as 10 to 11 ; so that the illumination of the Fresnel lamp, instead of being, as has been asserted, equal to 40 argand lamps, is not equal to more than 9.6 of those lamps. In the Bude light a small stream of oxygen is sent up through a small tube within a burning wick, which is 5-Sths of an inch in diameter, and the flame of about 3-Bths of an inch. The i luminating power is equal to to about 30 wax candles. Dr. Ure also examined the illuminating power of different kinds of wax candles, and found that the light from a long-three and a short-three was the same, or 1-11th of the mechanical lamp ; also the light emitted from one of the six to the pound was very little less, being 1-12th of that of the mechanical lamp. The consump tion of wax in a long or short-three may be taken at 126 grains per hour, and in a short six at 125 grains per hour. Wax contains 81.75 parts of carbon in every 100 parts, and the combustion of these 100 parts produces 36 parts of cai bonic acid ; consequently a wax candle will generate per hour about 375 grains of carbonic acid, or 800 cubic inches of gas. Now an average-sized man developes and exhales from his lungs 1,632 cubic inches of gas per hour ; thus the combustion - of two ordinary wax lights injures the air to about the same (Ix tent as the breathing of one man.—Athen mum PROPULSION OF A STEAMER BE THE ARCHIMEDZAN SCREW.—At a late meeting of the Institution of Civil En gineers, a paper was read "on the dimensions and perfortn ances of the Archimedean steamer," by George Rennie, F.R.S., &c. The method of propulsion, by means of a hori zontal spiral screw, applied by Mr. Smith, in the Archimedean, has frequently been attempted, and many authors have ex pressed opinions upon its applicability. The dimension% of the Archimedes are : Length of vessel Breadth Depth of hold Burthen, in tons Length of engine -room The vessel draws 10 feet water, carries three masts, and sails schooner fashion. Power of engines collectively, 90 horses. The crank shaft is driven from the connecting rods at tached to the piston rods of each cylinder. Length of stroke, 3 feet; 30 strokes per minute. The speed of the propeller is gained by wheel-work, and communicated by a shaft passing beneath the cabin floor, and. traversing the stern-post of the vessel. The diameter of the screw is six feet, the length eight feet, and consists of spiral oblique wrought-iron plates, attached by arms to the shaft. The weight of engine, boiler, and machinery, is about 64 tons. Upon the first trial of the Archimedes, the log indi cated 8.5 miles per hour, the vessel readily answered to the helm, and performed the several movements required. Upon the second trial, the vessel left the Brunswick Dock at flood tide, and reached Gravesend (21 miles) in 1 hour 45 minutes. Upon the following day, she arrived at the Nore (22 miles,) with the tide, in 1 hour 40 minutes ; and subsequently towed a yacht of 50 tons up the Medway with scarcely diminished speed. From Sheerness, the Archimedes reached Ramsgate (45 miles,) in 4 hours 30 minutes, The screw was here re duced in diameter; and, on leaving the harbour against a heavy tide and N.E. wind, she made five knots, and gave great satisfaction. The sails were set upon rounding the Foreland, and the speed was increased to 9, 91, and 40 miles per hour, or 14 miles with the tide. Upon her second voy age to Portsmouth, the measured mile was performed with the tide in four minutes. The weather was unfavourable, and wind high : the distance, 194 miles to Portsmouth, occu pied 21 hours : her average speed upon the return to London was nine miles per hour. —At henaum. PORTRAIT OF AN AFRICAN MONARCH.—We very soon became acquainted with the sable potentates who reign over the neighbouring swamps, and who all assume the title of kings. There was old King Fourday with his three sons, King Jacket, King Gun, and King Boy. The latter has already required some renown by having ransomed the bro thers Lander, who, it will be remembered, were captured by the Ibu people in their voyage down the river. We found him on our arrival bargaining with the master of a palm oil ship, for the sale of a promissory note which had been given hi m in payment of the ransom ' • and in the co urse o f th e ne gotiation he received a hearty slap on his royal jaws for having given the lie direct. I mention this little incident in order to put my readers at once in possession of the kind of diplo macy which is practised by white traders at these courts. Notwithstanding their high-sounding titles, these pseudo kings are but petty traders, who have a few canoes and slaves, and, in consequence, possess a certain influence with their countrymen. Fourday is a benevolent-looking old man : he was quite d e lighted with a present of a scarlet uniform coat, and sat in it the whole day, drinking raw rum, and saying, " Very well." to everything; which, I believe, is the amount of his knowledge of English, though he seemed to think it expressed volumes, if we might judge from the variety of tones in which he uttered it. His people did not appear to pay him much respect, for when he could contain no more rum they allowed him to stagger to his canoe, none of his slaves or attendants putting themselves in the slightest degree out of the way to assist him. Indeed he would have vacated the throne for a watery grave, but for the assistance of our sailors, who remarked, as they hoi s t e d hi m over the side, that he "had very nearly lost the number of his mess." It is quite astonishing to witness the quantities of raw spirits which these people swallow. Boy had always a full decanter before him, which, with a very little assistance from his mate, or prime minister, be never failed to empty. Indeed, he sometimes called to have it replenished : when he used very little ceremony, merely saying " Bring rum." He is' too !t good a judge of the cratu r t o a ll ow i t to be watered. The :,, natives danced and sang h a lt th e n i g h t on the shore abreast 4 * of us, and shouted with a speaking trumpet, of whielr instru- .td anent they are very fond, the chief frequently using it to hail the man next to him in the canoe ; but its principal app;ica lion is in the invocations to the Deity or Dju s ebu the4r r ate quite delighted.Witix the supernatural ton es of the echo, and • deem these answers to be favourable, being neither dixo/410 nor dissentient.--United s6o3.vitv 105 feet. 20 2-10ths. 12 5-10ths. 230 38 feet. • __________- .. 1 , 04nnLi-km.
