The limits of an advertisement preclude the possibility of entering into general detail of the flourish ing condition of this country, its genial climate, superiority of soil, proximity to important water communication, all of which will be fully described in the prospectus, with a description of each tract of land, and the boundary as set forth in the title ; it will now be suffi cient to state that the Lands comprise - NINE ORIGINAL TITLES, or SEPARATE ESTATES, in the counties of Harris Liberty, Galveston, and Bexar, the smallest Lot of which will be 320 Acres, and THE LARGEST 4,605 ACRES, surrounded by thriving farms, and not far distant from the populous towns of Houston, Harrisburg, Montgomery, Trinity, and St. Antonio de Bexa-, all excellent markets, with important navigable resources. Also 6,090 ACRES OF FREEHOLD LAND, in eleven original unconditional certificates issued from the Govern ment, for 320 and 649 acres each, which give the right to the pur chaser to select the land at any period and in any part of the dominion of Texas then not allocated, and without the payment of taxes till the land is located. A snore favourable opportunity for the emigrant has never offered, the large sum now demanded for land in America having turned the stream towards their new state of Texas, where, in a very few years, the same large prices will be obtained, and the located lands included in this sale are all ready for the pur poses of agriculture. _ Full prospectuses, affording much useful information, will be pub lished twenty-eight days prior to the sale, and may be had at the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool; Royal Hotel, Manchester; Albion Hotel, Leeds ; White Lion, Bristol ; Norfolk Hotel, Norwich ; of Messrs.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news aper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put hits the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, 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, nd the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenetor, feeling assured that many ladles would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perienee, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous beadache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facta.-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 wevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant cud 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 ,dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head; 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.

The following letter, introduced by a note to the editor, ap pears in Saunders News Lette r (D u bli n p aper ) . I t con y4s a most favourable view of the working of the system of soup kitchens in Ireland : " Office of Public Works, January 22, 1847. Gentlemen,—l should be most ungrateful indeed, if I allowed longer time to pass without expressing to you and to my kind friend Sir James Dombrain, both on my part and that of, the unhappy population surrounding Glandore, in the county of Cork, my cordial thanks for your ready re sponse to our application on behalf of the electoral division of Kilfanaghembeg, in the Union of Skibbereen. "When I left that place last week our soup establishment was in full work; and if I was to name one word which should convey my opinion of the most prompt, the most efficient, arid the most practicable means of saving the lives of thousands, that word would be soup; nut food, food, food, but soup, soup, soup. " In our village they now distribute 7,000 quarts of soup daily, excellent substantial stuff; poor beef, slink calves, beans, meal, bruised peas, rice, and a little oatmeal, with a small portion of commissariat biscuit broken up into it. We charge 1 1 ,! d. a quart, and with a staff under 2s. a day, we find that this can be done at an expense of less than 10s. a day loss. "The labourers going to the roads take a pint in the morning, and a pint on their return ; they are no longer staggering from weakness, their aspect is already improved, and their physical powers amazingly so ; the women and children in the village and its neighbourhood also participate in the advantage, and any benevolent persons who wish to give gratuitous relief, purchase tickets, which have, instead of coppers, now become the only relief circulating medium. " I should not omit to mention that the digester is of in finite value in working up the meat and bones, and in boiling the peas. Wherever Igo I endeavour to promote soup esta blishments, and I am happy to say that the Government have now instructed the Commissariat to give their cordial aid in setting them a-going.—l have, &c. "J. REDMOND BARRY. "To the joint Secretaries of the Irish Relief Association." DEATH OF MR. JAMES TOOLE D THE CITY TOAST MASTER.—After a very short but severe illness, the above t celebrated attendant on all principal public dinners, both e ' political and charitabl e , died at his residAnce, much regretted by multitudes of those who have had occasion to admire his excellent manner of presiding over the business of benevolent meetings. THE CONVICT HULKS AT WOOLWICH.—SiF George Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, h as- ordered the strictest investigation to be made relative to the statements made in the House of Commons by Mr. Thomas Duncomhe, M.P. on the evening of Thu r s da y last, res p ectin g the convicts at W oo lwich; the investigation is now in pro gress, and will be made public in the most unreserved manner, the parties charged being most anxious that a true statement of the treatment of the convicts should be elicited by a searching investigation. Letters from Odessa speak of the continuance of purchases in the grain markets on account of Belgium, France, and England, and the result has been increased firm ness of prices. For delivery in June a great deal of business had been transacted. The last advices from England are stated to have exerted much influence on the general condi tion of the market. LIBERATION or MADAME LAFFARGE.—The French correspondent of the Atlas announces that this criminal, concerning whom so intense and factitious an interest has been kept up, is about to be liberated. " and e f an Thact of he enlargement, 'he says, " appears certain, the ticipa r tion has given rise to almost as much excitement as the his tory of her crime did upon the occasion of her trial." It seems that the matrimony-agent through whom she was introduced to her unfortunate husband, instead of shrinking abashed from the notoriety which the ill-assorted union brought upon him, boasts of it to this very hour ; and hi, advertisements are lengthened by his efforts to bring it to the public memory. Moreover, on Tuesday last, there ap. seared in all the Paris papers an announcement from a rival establishment (that of Madame St. Marc), setting forth that she has to dispose of " a young English orphan, heiress to a splendid fortune!" PRICE SD. COMMISSARIAT RELIEF. IRELAND. The following circular has been issued by order of the Commissary General-- . . " Augmented ratio of donations on subscriptions for affording gratuitons relief, and providing food for sale, at first cost, &c. "TO THE SECRETARY OF EACH RELIEF COMMITTEE IN IRELAND. " Commissariat Relief Office, Dublin Castle, 20th January, 18 , 17., "Sir, —Commissary Gt neral Sir R. Routh desires to state, that in consequence of the distress prevailing in districts where the union workhouses are full or unavail able, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has authoi iscd the recommendation of grants in an augmented ratio on subscriptions, having reference to the extent of destitu tion in each district. " Where much distress exists, the grants will be equal to the subscriptions. In some cases a greater amount will be recommended. " Under the circumstances adverted to in the first pa ragraph, the Government regulations allow of gratuitous issues. to •the infant poor, to widows, orphans, and chil dren where the supporting member of the. family is inca pable from sickness or oVier cause to maintain them. "To persons requiring relief on such grounds, the food is a free gift of charity ; but when the committee sell, it is not desirable to do so under cost price, for it is an object .to maintain the funds of the committee as unimpaired as possible, so as to make them applicable to the whole season. " Donations granted before the present regulations was made cannot now be enlarged ; but the lesser ratio of such grants will be considered whenever lists of ad ditional subscriptions shall be received from the same relief districts. " Subscriptions and . donations in aid of them, may be appropriated, where a distinction is necessary, to loca lities for which the sums subscribed shall have been in tended by the contributors ; but must still be managed by the committee, or a sub-committee of its members. "It is particularly requested that the certificate re quired by the 27th article of the general instructions may 4 1 Q„,S , t 1 tit ear k li seksc rip tion list.

" Where such committees do not exist, application may be wade to the lieutenant of the county, to form them when necessary. " The food considered to be best suited for gratuitous relief is soup. This should also be provided for sale, where practicable, with a view of economising the con sumption of corn. "Inquiries being frequently made as to the payment of salaries to the secretaries of relief committees, this opportunity is made availaWe for recommending, that in future a member of the committee be requested to act as secretary, and that a clerk be employed occasionally, as required, and paid out of the relief fund. . . _ " Where secretaries have been already employed in expectation of receiving salaries, these can only be paid where relief funds have been formed, there being no other source from which the expenses incurred by com mittees can he defrayed.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " W. STANLEY, Secretary." SLAUGHTER HOUSES. The slaughtering of animals in town is necessarily attended by circumstances which render the practice in jurious to the health of the community; and it is very questionable whether any regulations, short of prohibi tion, will materially amend the present state of things. It is no doubt possible to abolish private establishments of this kind, and to compel all parties to make use of those specially provided for the purpose; but as long as the practice itself is permitted within the precincts of towns, so long will it be a public nuisance, requiring removal. The views expressed on this subject, in the second re port of the Sanatory Commissioners, are very decided, and, we think, perfectly warranted by the facts of the case. The Commissioners state that— " The effluvia arising from the blood and the entrails of animals, W het e recently slaughtered, renders the carry ing on of such business in the precincts of large towns incompatible with due sanatory regulations, even when the offal and filth are speedily and effectually removed. In scarcely one instance, however, in which shambles or slaughter-houses have come under the observation of Commissioners, either in the metropolis or in provincial cities and towns, have there been found in force any regulations or authoritative supervision to compel the speedy and regular removal of offal from, or the efficient cleansing of such places. They have, on the contrary, been found to be, almost without exception, centres of the diffusion of noisome influences, affecting, with more or less intensity, the immediate vicinity, deteriorating the sanatory coadition of the surrounding pOpulation, commonly poor and dense, as rtcorded in the local re ports of the Commissioners, and in a more remote degree vitiating the general atmosphere of the town, and thus tiecoming a nuisance to the inhabitants at large." It may be laid down as a general principle, that all the towns of England suffer more or less in this way ; and that a thorough change is needful. In the " Report on the Sanatory Condition of Bristol," it is stated, that— " Slaughter-houses in Bristol are scattered over the town without any special regulations. Very frequently they are situated in unventilated courts, and are much complained ot; both by medical witnesses and by the in habitants of the courts themselves." Dr. Reid, in his "Report on the Northern Cities and Towns," states that, — "Private slaughter-houses formed on the whole the most extreme subjects of complaint, and to such an ex tent do they prevail, and so little are they confined to particular sites, that one of the worst cases occurs in a central street in Newcastle, or, at least, immediately ad joining it." Dr. Reid further gives it as his opinion, that— "ln all drained and low-lying districts, slaughter houses very often, if not always, sustain a perpetual malaria around the neighbouring habitations : they are a fruitful source of fever and other diseases. Similar evidence is given by Dr. Shapter in his report on Exeter. He says: " More inconvenience is suffered from the keeping of pigs and the nuisance of slaughter-houses; both these nuisances are most urgent, and prevail to a greater ex tent than is generally supposed, and by the poor obliged to live within their influence is much complained of. Cases frequently occur of serious fevers, nervous pains, and sickness of stomach, which they refer entirely to swallowing' bad smells from these resources." Similar evils also exist to a great extent in the Lanca shire towns. Dr. Lyon Playfair says in his report, that, from the state of the law, " If these slaughter-houses be in private courts they are permitted to remain, however injurious to the in habitants, and in whatever state of filth they may be kept. Thus, in the township of Manchester alone there are seventy-seven slaughter-houses (in many instances six or eight butchers killing at the same place); but all these are without regulations. In Bolton, for example, found several courts in which the middens attach. d to the slaughter-houses were filled with the offal of the slaughtered animals, and had not been cleansed for at least two months. In other towns I have found slaughter houses below dwelling-houses, the smell in which was most insufferable, and in many of these dwellings the in habitants looked pale and sickly, and diarrhoea fre quently prevailed, although absent from the courts con tiguous." The foregoing extracts will be sufficient to show the general bearing of the matter under consideration on the public health and comfort, but they do not comprehend all that is objectionable; for the commissioners state that "A second evil and nuisance, necessarily contingent upon the locality of slaughter-houses, however strin gently supervised and regulated, in the midst of large and populous towns, is the quantity of animal ordure deposited upon the public streets and thoroughfares leading to such slaughter-houses, which, besides forming a most offensive addition to the ordinary surface filth, excites and accelerates its decomposition. This evil is augmented in the ratio of the size of the town ; and where, as in London, most of the surface filth of the streets is washed down into the sewers, the continual passage of cattle, sheep, and pigs, in the neighbourhood of the antra mural slaughter-houses, must materially in crease the amount of that decomposing matter, the ema nations of which are constantly escaping from the un trapped gully-holes, to infect the atmosphere of the metropolis. Nor ought the occasionally fatal injuries, and the constant peril of life and limb incurred by the inhabitants of large towns, the streets of which are so frequently traversed by goaded and over-driven cattle, to be overlooked in an enumeration of the inevitable evils of slaughter-houses situated in the crowded parts of towns, and as strengthening the more general sanatory grounds for urging upon the Legislature the expediency of abo lishing them, and of establishing properly constructed and efficiently regulated places for slaughtering cattle in the suburbs." In, these opinions we entirely concur ; for we believe that nothing short of the absolute prohibition of slaughter-houses in towns will afford an adequate re medy. The poor, in this as in other things, are the chief sufferers ; and it matters little whether they be subject to nuisance from private shambles or public establish ments, for in either case the injury is inflicted. The situation of the public slaughter-houses in Liverpool renders them a source of great annoyance to the neigh bourhood, and it is not the less an offence against right feeling that they are placed amidst the dwellings of the industrious classes. We have learned on competent authority that the noisome exhalations which proceed from them are found to produce the usual effec:s ob. served in other towns, such as diarrhoea, sickness, nervous complaints, &c. ; and persons suffering from these diseases have been obliged to change th e i r r( :Ili dence before recovery could take place. Th e value of property has also, in some instances, been deteriorated. . s n a t l e Act pu t r , ~ It is proposed by the Sanatory Improvhe(m)le( limit the slaughtering of animals, t o posaesh,otoon to the publicthose l establishments.oealitieswhere T r h the i r s w e w a il r l e no pr d i o v u a l t ) e t he shambles, but it will increase the nuisance arising from public oh s s slaughter-houses. gt the year t er - ho uses . 1809, such an ext en t from the th ecitv the fer P e d r Previous existenceoPari s o f h apdrivsautf shambles, that it w as d etermined to aboh}h them entire], , and erect five vast abbatoirs beyond the boundaries of the city, and at nearly equal distances from each °Weir. These abbatoirs are exceedingly well conducted, and r‘e turn a revenue of between 40,090/. and 50,000 L a=3;eare They are described by an intelligent writer in the fol— lowing words : " The slaughter-houses, which are considered the nuisance and disgrace of the English metropolis, are placed in the outskirts of Paris, and under the inspection of the police. The slaughter-house of Montmartre rivals many of the public buildings in its external appearance. It is no less than 1,074 feet in length, and 384 in depth, and is watered by sluices from the Ourcq. On entering it, the stranger perceives no disagreeable smell ; he wit nesses no disgusting sight, and often he would not sus pect the purpose to which theibuilding is devoted. The English traveller should not fail to visit these useful edifices. lie will return with a wish to reform those nuisances, and abodes of cruelty, filth, and pestilence, which disgust him in the capital of his own country." The other abattoirs of Paris are—that of Menil, montant, which is about 870 feet long by about 750 in breadth ; the abattoir de brenello, about 600 feet long by 480 ; and the abattoirs of Ville nit and Roule, which are somewhat smaller. In all of them there are c. rain great principle, kept in view, namely, sufficient isolation from inhatited buildings—a spacious area— pr,p,r inspection—thorough cleanliness, and a large supply of wL.ter. When sanatory police is bettt understood in this country then it is at present, oar public bodies will be more alive to the importance of this su ti b i j a ttc t a ; ff a n n r d d d n o b by e t t t h e r e e y m p o l e f c r . o a u r l s . b_e L f v l l e o rp w o ed ol Health qf Towns' Advocate. \_ R R '4 COURT CIRCULAR.
