DE LA MOTTE'S NUTRITIVE, HEALTH RESTORING AROMATIC CHOCOLATE, PREPARED FROM THE NUTS OF THE SASSAFRAS TREE. Sold by the Patentee, 12, Southampton-street, Strand, London. This CHOCOLATE contains the peculiar virtues of the Sassafras Root ? which has been long held in great estimation for its purifying and alterative properties. The aromatic quality (which is very grateful to the stomach) most invalids require for breakfast and evening repast, to promote digestion, and to a deficiency of this property in the customary breakfast and supper, :nay in a great measure be attributed the frequency of cases of indigestion generally termed bilious. It has been found highly beneficial in correcting the state of the digestive organs, &c., from whence arise many diseases, stlith as eruptions of the skin, gout, rheumatism, and scrofula. In cases of debility of the stomach, and a sluggish state of the liver and intestines, occasioning flatulence, costiveness, &c., and in spasmodic asthma, it is much recommended. Liverpool Agent :—Mr.F. G. JONES, Patent Medicine Ware house, 5, Paradise-street. MAKE NOTICE, that GOUT and RHEUMATISM are neither of them external diseases, hut that each are seated in the blood, therefore the bad state of the blood is the cause of gout and rheumatism brought on by heats and colds. To use external applications will only remove the malady . to the vital parts ; BOUCH'S HERB DRAUGHT allays all inflam mation, soothes the nerves, and gently purges the blood, by which means gout and rheumatic sufferings are safely and speedily cured. This medicine is of a very wholesome ten dency. J. Siggers, Esq., 6, Newcastle-street, Strand, is referred to as having been a great martyr to gout. Mr. Davidson, 44, Clarence-garden, Regent's-park, despaired of ever being cured of rheumatism, but was effectually restored by the Herb Draught, which may be obtained of B.

The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled instead of burned) by the evaporating principle of the Safe.

HINDOO CONVERTS TO CHRISTIANITY.—After break fast a number of native Christians assembled, as this was the morning appointed for talking to them. They all squatted down on the floor, the men on one side and the women on the other. Mr. L. who is thoroughly conver sant with the Oorial language, now entered into conver sation with them, asking them questions and hearing all they had to say. They appear to have a very good know ledge of true religion, and to be very earnest and sincere. It was most interesting to see them all sitting so quietly with their eyes fixed on Mr. L.'s face, never attempting to interrupt either him or one another, but speaking one at a time, in a low reverent tone of voice. When asked a question they would pause a moment in deep thought before they answered. After a little time one or two inquirers came in, that is, men who are not yet converted, but are inquiring- about Christianity, or arguing concern ing it, and comparing it with their own religion. These sat down and behaved themselves in the same decorous manner as the actual Christians. Mr. L. very judiciously encouraged the converts to argue with the inquirers, and it was most pleasing to observe the perfect mildness and the restrained gestures of both parties wnen talking on so holy a subject, every eye fixed upon the two disputants, and when a pause occurred, some other convert gently putting in a word in support of the holy truth : Inquirer : You say God gave you the Bible ; I say God gave us the Shasters. The religion that is good for the white man is not good for the black. God is good, and has given us each a religion proper to ourselves. I say your religion is good, and comes from God ; why will you not say the same of our Shasters ?" Convert : " God gave white men the Bible, because he is very good, and he told them to go and teach it to every one, because he wishes every one to be good and happy, and to go to the happy coun try of heaven when they die : but the Shasters do not come from God."—l.: " How do you know that ?" C. : " Listen, brother. Brummah (God) is good ; is he not ?" I. : " Yes."—C.: " Should you not like to go to Brum mah ?" I.:' " Yes."—C. : "Do not the Shasters of your religion teach you so ?" I.: " Ha! you are very sly. No ; but our religion is good for us now. By and by, Vishnoo will come again, and then he will perhaps give us a Bible."—C.: "Why not take the Christian Bible and Christian Brummah now ?" " Then I should lose my caste, my wife will leave me, my children will go away, my brother will not smoke with me, my hut will be empty, and the Brahmins will curse me.' , —C. : " If the Brahmins curse you, God is stronger than they are, and he will bless you ; if your wife and children run away, Jesus will make you happy in heaven ; if your brother will not smoke with you, the Great God will give you his peace."—l. : " Well, I will see.. Lend me the book ; I will read it and show it to the Brahmins. How soon shall you be here again, sahib ?" Mr. L.: "In about ten days."— I.: Good. I will see you again." This is a mere epitome of the conversation, but may furnish some idea of the mode of argument pursued. Whenever the convert brought forward a good argument, or came to a convincing point, it was curious to see the countenance of the Christians. They had been watching their cham pion with the greatest interest, looking more like black statues than human beings, so perfectly still did they sit, except when a mother pressed her infant to her bosom to keep it quiet. Suddenly as they saw the drift of what was said more clearly. their white eyes would dance amid their black skins, and one or two of them would smile and utter gently the emphatic word " Ha I" (yes).—Rev.

DINNER AND PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO MR. C. E. RAWLINS, JUN., LATE SECRETARY TO THE ANTI-MONOPOLY ASSOCIATION. Last evening, a very select company, composed of the most influential members of the late Anti-monopoly As sociation of Liverpool, sat down to a most sumptuous dinner, at Mr. Lynn's, the Waterloo Hotel, the occasion of their being met together being to present to Mr. Raw lins, their late active secretary, a beautiful silver salver, and other splendid articles of silver, as a testimony of their sense of the great services rendered by him to the cause of free trade. William Brown, Esq., M.P., occu pied the chair, Messrs. T. Thornley, M.P., and Richard Shiel, officiating as vice-chairman. The gentleman, in whose honour the dinner was provided, occupied the seat to the right of the chair, Wm. Rathbone, Esq. being seated on the left. Amongst the company present we noticed also Messrs. Jas. Mellor, Rawlins, sen., C. Paulett, C. Rawlins, R. C. Rawlins, Chas. Holland, S. T. Hobson, T. J. Crooke, J. B. Cooke, M. J. Whitty, R. W. Ronald, J. Stitt, W. Freme, &c. dinner The was on the table a few minutes after six . _ o'clock, and consisted of all delicacies of the season, accompanied by an ample portion of the requisite solids, all of which were prepared and served up in the style for which this hotel is celebrated. The wines also were of excellent vintage, and of the Waterloo punch we need not say a word. The room in which the dinner was given was lighted up with candelebra, and looked well through out the evening. fter the cloth was drawn, and a number of letters of apology for non-attendance read, the Chairman gave " The Queen," which was drunk with the usual honours. The next toast was " Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family," after which the army and navy followed, and the chairman then proceeded to give the toast of the evening, " Mr. Charles Edward Rawlins, jun." In introducing the to as t, th e Ch a i rman referred to the diffi culties which had been exnerienced at first in their attempts to enlighten the public mind as to the advantages of free trade, and dwelt upon the great assistance which had been rendered to the cause by the exertions of Mr. C. E. Rawlins, jun. After a few comments upon the prospects of free trade, the chairman introduced the object for which they had met together, as the most pleasing for which they could be assembled ; and after passing a high encomium upon the excellence of design and taste which had been shown by Mr. Mayer in executing the service of plate to be presented, he read a written descrip tion of the various articles, which, however, as we have so recently described them in our columns, we shall not here repeat. The chairman concluded a very neat speech, by tendering the plate to Mr. Rawlins. Mn. T. THORNLEY, M.P. begged, before the health of Mr. Rawlins was drunk, to say a few words, and proceeded to pay a very flattering tribute to that gentleman. The toast was then drunk standing, with protracted cheers. Mr. RAwmxs then rose to reply, evidently under the influence of great emotion, and assured the meeting that he had faced the unbroken hosts of monopoly with far less misgiving than he faced them on this occasion, to return them his thanks for the enduring work of art with which they had complimented him. He felt that too much credit had been given to him, and too little to the friends around him with whom he had worked ; and particularly he referred to the exertions of Mr. Thorneley, which, in London especially, had been most valuable, as well as in the country. He dwelt also on the eminent services rendered by Mr. Brown, who had brought to the cause both the zeal of the missionary and the knowledge of a world-wide commercial experience. Mr. Heyworth and Mr. Holland had also contributed material assistance to the cause, as had Mr. Rathbone, Mr. Blackburn, and Mr. C. Robertson. They had also been undpr _ - - sacy ',au. aim; ',curt unuer oritigations to the council of the association for onerous duties per formed in writing and distributing addresses, written and oral, in a number of places ; and in eradicating the fallacies with which the subject of FrAe Trade was sur rounded. Mr. Rawlins also referred to the sssistance which he had received from Mr. James Harvey and others. Having entered into a brief apology for the working thus far of Free Trnde policy, Mr. Rawlins expressed once more in very feeling terms his thanks for his flattering reception and the handsome testimonial presented to him ; and concluded by proposing the members for the county. W. - 13nowtr, Esq., M.P., repiied for himself and his colleague, Mr. Henry, who was absent, in a neat and ef fective speech. A number of other toasts were given, which protracted a very satisfactory evening's enjoyment to an hour too late to enable us, with our other engage ments, to extend our report beyond its present length. The following were amongst the remaining toasts : "The National Anti-Corn-law League. Though its body be dissolved, may its spirit, live to complete the emancipation of human industry (with the health of George Wilson, Esq)." " Thos. Thornely, Esq. M.P., first president of the Liverpool Anti-Monopoly Esq., William Rathbone, Esq., " May the progress of human improvement never be retarded by religious or political differences." "Agriculture, Commerce, and Manufactures." THE POPE AND THE GOVERNMENT.—It may be in ferred, from the answer given by Lord Lansdowne to the questions recently put to him with reference to the mission of the Lord Privy Seal to the Italian States, that one of the first measures of the government, after the recess, will be the introduction of a bill into parliament calcu lated to remove the leral doubts whirl, Pv;cl- oa diplomatic relations with the Papal See. Lord Lans downe thought fit to declare, on the occasion to which we allude, that, although Lord Stanley had abstained from expressing any opinion on the propriety of establishing such relations, the ministers of th e crown ma k e no secret of their conviction that it is desirable that all impediments to such a measure should be removed, and we presume that, when the proper time arrives, they arc prepared to act upon this declaration.—"'' COLLEGE I Worcester College, uxtord, has been very pro f ,., lowed by his father to pass through the Insolvent Court. It appears that he had from his father an allowance of £250 per annum, or somewhat more than one-quarter of his total income. The youth went into residence in Oct 1845, and, instead of applying himself to the stud; sems at • Jenning a student at to have given u to the fo of the university. The trade harpies self of the place at llies once fixed upon their prey. From the statement of Mr. Cooke, the counsel for the insolvent, it would seem that during the first week of his residence fifty tradesmen visited him, soliciting custom—wine-merchants, tailors, bootmakers, cigar-sellers, &c. They never made a single inquiry re garding his means, nor the position of his father. The success of their manoeuvres, and the best evidence of the insolvent's folly, is to be found in the schedule of debts contracted by him in a short space of time, which was pro duced before the commissioner. The consideration debts were £1,865, of which £1,697 were due to Oxford trades men. Among the items are £56 for wine, £33 for sad dlery, £3Ol for tailoring, £46 for confectionery, £195 for boats, and £9B for hats ! The youth had, besides, bor rowed money from a money-lender at Oxford, who gave him £55 for two £lOO bills. As a fitting termination to such an university career the insolvent had been rusticated by his college, and his name had, finally, been removed from the books at his father's desire. SYLLOGISM.—A sailor is not a sailor when he is a board ; a sailor is not a sailor when he is a-shore ; but he Must be either ashore or aboard, thcrebre a sailor is not a sailor THE PRIM.:EVAL FOPEST.—Trees of incredible girt tower aloft, and from their tops one in vain endeavours to bring down the desired bird with a fowling-piece. The trunks are of every variety of form, round, angular, and sometimes resembling an open network, through which the light pastes in any direction. Amid these giants very few low trees or little underbrush interfere with one's movements, and very rarely is the path intercepted by a fallen log. But about the trees cling huge snake-like vines, winding round and round the trunks, and through the branches, sending their long arms, binding tree to tree. Sometimes they throw down long feelers, which swing in mid air until they reach the ground, when, tak ing root, they in their turn throw out arms that cling to the first support. .In this way the whole forest is linked together, and a cut tree rarely falls without involving the destruction of many others. This creeping vine is called sepaw, and, having the strength and flexibility of rope, is of inestimable value in the construction of houses, and for various other purposes. Around the tree-trunks clasp those curious anomalies, parasitic plants, sometimes throwing down long, slender roots to the ground, but ge nerally deriving sustenance only from the tree itself and from the air, called hence, appropriately enough, air-plart 3. These are in vast numbers and of every form, now resem bling lilies, now grasses or other familiar plants. Often a dozen varieties cluster upon a single tree. Towards the close of the rainy season they are in blossom, and their exquisite appearance, as they encircle the mossy and leafed trunk with flowers of every hue, can scarcely be imagined. At this period, too, vast numbers of trees add their tribute of beauty, and the flower-domed forest, from its many-coloured altars, ever sends heavenward worship ful incense.—Voyage up the Amazon. HUNTING IN AUSTRALIA. — Opossums and flying squir rels, kangaroos (some standing nine feet high), and kan garoo rats, emus, ducks, and bronze-winged pigeons, were the principal beasts and birds encountered during the journey. Crocodiles were met with, and a few buffaloes. Fish of many kinds, now and then turtles, were seen and caught in the pools, rivers, and lagoons. Sand-flies, mos quitoes, and hornets, were very annoying, but the cool night breeze usually swept them away. The melodious note of the glucking-bird, so named from the sound re sembling "gluck, gluck," the noisy call of the " laughing jackass," the hoot of the barking owl, the howlings of native dogs, and the screech of the o pp ossum , were th e principal sounds that br..ke the stillness of the bush. Kangaroos were a great article of provender ; the travellers chased them with dogs, so long as the dogs lasted, but these perished, little by little, until at last only one re mained—Spring by name,—a useful and valiant brute. covered with honourable scars. He was of the breed known as the kangaroo-dog, was exceedingly stanch and valuable, and the means of obtaining a vast deal of game. Of course, he was an immense favourite, and his masters had rs-ekoned on his accompanying them to the er d of their journey. They carried a calabash of water for hi private use, as they were frequently very long v meeting with any, and this precaution more than onc€ saved Spring's life. At last, during the latter part of a toilsome day's march, poor Spring lagged . in the rea r an d was forgotten. The next day two of the party returned to seek him, and found him almost dead, " stretched out in the deep cattle track, which he seemed not to have quitted even to find a shady place. They broughl him to the camp ; a id I put his whole body, with the exception of his head, under water, and bled him ; lie lived six hours longer, when he began to bark, as if raving." And Spring gave up the ghost, to the great comfort and relief of the emus and kangaroos, and to the deep distress of the worthy doctor and his biped companions. —Blackwood. without OPENING OF THE BRUNSWICK CLUB. THE OPENING DINNER For some time back, the public have been on' the tip toe of expectation for the opening of this club.. The eco nomy of the charges announced, might have given birth to a doubt as to the plausibility of the scheme, had not the name of Mr. Whiteman (whose exertions and perseverance, as well as excellent catering, are well known) given a guar antee of its success. The rooms devoted to this institution are situated in Fleet-street, directly behind the Brunswick Hotel, and consists of five spacious apartments, varying from 50 to 30 feet in length, furnished with every care to comfort and convenience. On the lower or ground floor is a capacious reading-room, in which are dispersed tho various local, the principal London and provincial papers. Blackwood, Tait, Dickens, Bulwer, and every popular periodical from the Lion to Punch. A library of about two thousand volumes is also fixed for the use of this de partment. In the basement is a gymnasium. In the upper rooms are chess, billiard-tables, and other scientific games, all free, for the exercise of skill, but all betting is expressly prohibited. Coffee, steaks, chops, &c., are supplied in rooms of the club, at prices considerably below those of the hotel. The opening dinner took place last evening, when the attendance was not only numerous but highly respec table. The presidency devolved on J.
