BY - SIMMONS. •fie•sleeps—the Thunderer of the World For once bath wearied, dropt the bolt, — Whose stroke split empires up, and hur:ed To dust each purple-mantled dolt Mid havoc, ruin, and revolt! So. lulled like baby by its nurse, The imperial eagle folds that wing Quiescent. whose awaking spring Shall shake the universe I He sleeps, and silence binds that tone 'Which cleft the Alp's eternal walls, And bridged his pathway to a throne Above the avalanche's halls : Hark how that victor voice appals Pale A ustria's battle line, when first 'He c ash'd gannt Nature's bars asunder, And meteor-girt, in flames and wonder, Upon Marengo burst. - He dreams and smiles ! the conqueror's brow. Galled with the wreath's triumphal pride, Looks grandly calm and placid now. As if young Enghien never died ! As if victorious homicide!, The rush of Beresina's stream, His spectral legions' freezing groans, And icy Russia's forest moans, Are heard not in that dream! The plan and pencil in his hand flare drooped, as though their effort failed To draugnt the crimson sketch he scanned In Fate's vast volume seven-sealed : But earth shall age the page revealed, And hear its fiery purport, too, Until her curdling heart's blood stops— And carnage-clogged thy sickle drops Outworn, red Waterloo! NOTICES. 'Chapman and Hall's Monthly Series. No. 6. The Whiteboy, a Story of Ireland in 1822. By Mrs. S. C. Hall. The second number of this" story" introduces us fully into the wild and deplorable history of the eventful period which it describes. It contains several scenes of fearful interest, depicted in the best manner of this talented au thoress, who has studied, more than any other living wri ter, the singular and otttimes contradictory phases, which the social disorganization of Ireland has produced in the minds and tempers of the Irish people. Many of the cha racters introduced are ably painted, some of a repulsive and some of an amiable cast. Amongst the former, that of the middleman and bloodthirsty bypocrite, Aby Richards, is one which, for the credit of humanity, one would fain hope is rarely to be found even in the class and the country to which he belongs, and is only prevented from reflecting the odium of his own black nature upon the mass of his party by the contrast to it afforded by some of the other characters introduced upon the scene—espe cially that of Mr. O'Driscoll. We have given a few ex tracts amongst our selections. The Medical Times, Parts XI. and XII. The medical orofession appears, as far as we can form an opinion on the matter to be gathered from the pages In these two volumes, daily to be growing more content with Sir James Graham's third amended bill, the chief feature of which, in contradistinction with the others pre ceding it, is found in the proposition of a new and Inde pendent medical college, wherein the future interests and educational career of the surgeon, apothecary, or general practitioner will take their " own place," and range na turally in their corporate order along side of the other col leges of pure physic and surgery. The unenlightened course which these old collegiate bodies have pursued in their dotage, tending to elevate the aspirations of the bulk of the profession, after a fair, full, and independent re presentation in the government of the profession. The Medical Times deserves the support and cordial thanks of the ordinary practitioner, for its judicious commenda tion and wise acceptance of the present measure of medi cal reform, as an instrument of slow but certain justice. It sees that a part obtained will constitute a leverage, whereby a battering ram may be directed, with successful blow after blow, against the illegal quack outside the camp, and the illicit traitor to his fellow-practitioners within the lines of medical circumvallation, by means of an authorised registry of the various grades and penal enactment, by fine and imprisonment, recoverable by summary process against those traitors or enemies who are the bane of society, by their wholesale pandering to her vices, nr by their catering towards delusive hopes in an unprincipled manner, and for a reward which may shine like golden coin here, but will be arrayed by an in fallible tribunal hereafter, and proved to be only an elec tro-plating of gold, thinner than lest-gold. though, like that term, certainly leave-gold, because ill gotten wealth is soon lost. The Salamander. By Eugene Sue. London : Burn and Wild.—An extraordinarily cheap edition. Fraser's Magazine is this month very clever. The sketch of Lord John Russell is written in a spirit of fair ness, and contains some very just views of his character. The Dublin University continues its excellence, both literary and political. We took the liberty of borrowing largely in our last number from one of its articles—on conversions from Romanism—which at this crisis would be most useful if reprinted in a pamphlet for general cir culation. " The Garretts of Nevilstown", by the editor, is concluded in the present number. Ainsworth's alagazine.—We miss extremely the edi tor's hand in this month's number. The matter of the whole is, however, of great merit. . Fanny the Lillie Mtlliner. No. 7. London : J. Mortimer.—This pleasing tale progresses well, and in creases in interest. Illustrated Sailors' Magazine.—This cheap and well got•up periodical ought to have an extensive circulation amongst nautical readers. The tale—the " Spanish Ar mada," by the author of " Cavendish "—is thus far ably written, and promises to be a stirring narrative of that eventful period of England's his'ory. George Cruickshank's Table Book.—Rich "in humour, and excellent in illustration. The frontispiece, " Heads of the Table," is such a gem as Cruickshank alone can present us with. Nifal and Military Sketch Book. Hugh Cunningham, St .—This publication maintains its interesting cha racter. Douglas Jerrold's Magazine this month sustains fully its spirit, and keeps on the good course of advocacy of the rights of humanity whichits conductors set out upon. The editor's " St. Giles and St. James" increases in in terest. Hood's Magazine.—This periodical, upon whose pages poor Hood expended the last flashes of his wit and genius, appears this month under the editorship of Mr. C. How croft, author of " Tales of the Colonies," a second series of which are appearing seriatim in its columns. The present number is of more than average interest. A number of other works, received too late for notice this week, must lie over for another publication. " Bel gium and the Rhine," and Mr. :Stapylton's translation of " The Consulate and the Empire," by M. Thiers, in our seat. SELECTIONS. A HINT TO TAE LORDS.—There has been a deal of talk in the House of Commons about some new marine glue, which is so adhesive that when two things have been joined together by it, it is impossible to separate them. If it were made into lip-salve, what a friendly present it would be to Lord Brougham.—Punch. ALBERT'S BROKEN HEART.— Among the crowd around St. Paul's, on the Festival of the Sons of the Clergy, an old woman asked of a bystander the meaning of the star on Prince Albert's left breast. " Why, you see," replied the knowing one, " the Queen's eyes had such an effect on his heart, that she stuck that cement there, as we do petty on a shivered pane, to prevent it going to pieces.—Joe Miller the Younger. ORIGIN OF CONSUMPTION.—Among the remote causes of phthisis, the hereditary is almost universally allowed to be the most frequent ; but the exceptions to this rule are sufficiently numerous to show that there is stilt much to be learned before this subject can be cleared np. Chil dren, whose parents have both perished from this disease, are supposed to be more liable to it than those deprived of but one; I cannot say that my experience leads me to this opinion. In several instances, in which both parents -died of consumption, I have see-‘, out of a large family, but one or two children cut off, the others remaining healthy ; sometimes, on the other hand, the whole family has been destroyed. Similar calamities have appeared to me as frequently where one parent only has been afflicted with the disease. At other times the families of con sumptive parents enjoy excellent health ; whilst, on the contrary, the children are sacrificed to the disease—the parents, at the same time, being apparently in health. The hereditary origin of such disease may be questioned, although I le-lieve they have no other source.—Hastings on Consumption. ROUSSEAU A TIIIEF AND A LlAR.—After living ob.. scurely in Turin in a lodging-house for common people at half a sous a night, he now entered as a footman the ser •vice of the Countess de Vercellia, and wore livery with the rest of the servants. In the course of a few months this lady died, and the servants were of course dismissed. It was found that a ribbon bid tigen stolen ; all were in terrogated, and Rousseau, in 7vhose possession it was found, and who was in fact the thief, had the wickedness to charge it upon an innocent girl ; he persisted in aver ring that she had stolen it to give him, there baying been some little love making between them. The ruin of this poor girl was the consequence, and he describes the bitter agonies of remorse which be ever after endured in re. leafing on the crime thus committed. He endeavours •to explain it in a refined, absurd, and false manner, by saying that his love for Marian caused it all, because be had stolen it to give her, and this put it into his head to think of accusing her of the same intention. But the truth is that his cowardice, the parent of lies, caused it all. He never would have dared charge a man with the offence. He thought he could escape exposure and perhaps punish ment (though he affects to say he dreaded not that) by laying the blame on an innocent young girl who bad shown a liking for him which he returned. He also tries to represent himself as only a child then, and, writing in 1766 to 1767, speaks of forty years having elapsed. But this is not true.—Lord Brougham's Men of Letters. LORDJOHN RUSSELL ANDTHE ULTRA FREE•TRA DERS. I —Occasioaally his diction rises into a lofty s implic i ty of style—a clear-seeing impartiality, shewing h is mind ele vated above the excitements of the hour—which is almost too free from party spirit for the atmosphere of the House of Commons. You might aimost suppose you were hear ing history read. This does not always suit the vulgar and depraved appetites of his Radical and Dissenting suppor ters,i who require that their leader should be more re pregnated with their own political and sectarian animosi ties. The parliamentary organs of the Anti-Corn-law League, too, think lie should enter more w •raily into their fight with the landed interest. Now and then you hear murmurs of rebellion in their ranks; out of doors they are most valiant in their refusal t.. be any longer led by such a faineant, as they term him ; but when the time for action comes, they are glad enough to range themselves again under his banner. His coolness and tact, they have learnt, are better guides than their prejudices or passions. Extreme opinions. they know, however well they may point a speech on the hustings, will not do for the legis lature. Accordingly, they always cry, Peccavi. Their quiet, determined little leader holds himself aloof till they come on bended knee to claim his forgiveness.— Fraser's Magazine. BURNING A MIDDLEMAN.—The evening had long deepened into night, yet still she sat and wept ; looking out into the darkness. Her attention was roused by a bright and sudden flame shooting upwards ; it could not be, sbe thought, very far from Spencer Court. She stept to the window and saw what, at the moment, she hoped might be a bonfire, at the foot of one of the nearest moun tains. She thought she heard the winding of a horn, and an halloo. She opened the casement ; and then, certainly and distinctly. she heard a horn blown not very far dis tant, answered by another, and another. With trembling eagerness she watched the progress of the fire : after the first rush of light into the sky, it burnt low and red, and then gradually rose and rose like a pyre, spreading above and around, increasing with fearful intensity. After a while she could see dark figures pass, catching for an in stant the brightness of the light ; and so still was the night that she beard the halloos, the yells, and the horns, issu ing their terrible warnings, or calling to the mountain dwellers. A dreadful thought took possession of her mind, and chained her to the spot ; where she continued to stand without the power to withdraw. " The boys are early at work this evenin', Miss," said Biddy, from the garden, in an unconcerned voice, as she looked up at El len, " and your's is the only windy in the house that has so fine a view, Miss, dear ; Mrs. Myler and the rest are podgering away at the work within. Bedad, if the young master comes home to-night, he can't but say that Abel Richards' house makes a flue bonfire to welcome him." Lawrence Macarthy's words rang upon Ellen's heart; she could hardly articulate. She fixed her eyes upon the con flagration waxing stronger and stronger; it was the near est appreach the Fire King of the Whiteboys had yet made to Spencer Court. " Well !" continued the housemaid, "he gave many a one a cowld death. It's a hot one he'll have himself." " Surely, surely, he is not there !" ex claimed Ellen. "Oh ! murder, Miss, they wouldn't be the fools to burn the house and he not in it," was the cool reply. It would be impossible to describe Ellen's sensations; her heart beat violently. " I wonder," said the girl, " would they have been so soon upon Black Aby only for the word of the soldiers that's to come into Ken mare, to-morrow." " Oh, mercy ! what a howl was that !" exclaimed Ellen, pressing her face into her hands. " Ah, ab !" laughed the girl below," it was a strong cry, sure enough. Well, Miss, he was no friend of yours, and —whisht." She sprang upon a wheelbarrow that was un der the window, and light of foot and limb, swung herself into the balcony. "If any thing—l mane any questions were to he asked—sure you and I, and that half-witted Master Mat, could well prove an alibi for Mr. Lawrence; sure, I saw him with you all this evening." " Mr.• Law rence !" repeated Ellen, drawing herself up proudly. " Mr. Lawrence!" how dare you to suppose him to be concerned in such an autrage as that." " Outrage ! I call it justice, Miss Ellen ; and so will all the counthry. What's come to her at all," she muttered, as the moon at full, bursting through the clouds, shone upon Ellen, show ing her white and rigid as marble. " God bless us, is it dead standing she is? Well," continued the girl, lifting her in her arms and lavieg her on the sofa, " well, I never see the likes o' that. With the glory of that fire through the country, to think of her taking on so for the burning of ould Richards !"—The Whilebry, bu Mrs. S. C. Hall. NECKOLOTEIS.—Our climate, no doubt, requires some protection for the neck, and while beards are not worn, a cravat of some kind or other may be said to be necessary ; but if comfort and use can be combined with elegance and good taste, and yet the old starched thing got rid of, so much the better. Let us remark, therefore, that we have done wrong.in quitting the fashion of the seventeenth century as to cravats ; we have adopted a stiff and a com mon material, and we have lost all opportunity of enjoy ment, as well as of ornament. If you ever indulge in a white choker, good reader, only reflect for a minute on what you have round your neck—a yard and a half of stuff, the intrinsic value of which may be a couple of shillings, plus a pennyworth of starch, plus a neck as thick as an elephant's leg, and as stiff as a door-post. minus all grace, minus all comfort. But go and look at the Second Charles at Hampton Court—see how the merry monarch managed his neck on gala-days. You will observe that he had half a yard of the fittest cambric, as soft as a zephyr, and as warm as swan's-down, tied once round ; and ending before in lcng deep borders of the most precious Mechlin lace. worth a guinea or two a yard, falling gracefully on his breast, or placed for con venience into a fold of his coat. How much more sensi ble, how much more ornamental, how much more noble, such a scarf or cravat es this, which n' shopman's boy could emulate, than the cheap and ugly thing in which many a man seems to delight ! How admirably did these bands of rich lace contrast with the silken coats or the polished cuirasses of their wearers ! how truly aristocratic was their appearance ! how entirely without effort, with out pretension, and yet how very dist:nctive of the type of their wearer! But you will say, if we fail in the mat ter of white cravats, surely we excel in that of black-silk ones and brocadcd stocks! We might excel, we allow ; but we do not know how to wear these things. We ought either to limit ourselves to the smallest possible bow in front, or else we ought to let the square ends of the scarf be pend-nt and unconfined. Instead of this, we either put on a stock with a sham tie, (now alt sham things, of what kind soccer, militate against good taste,) or else, to make the most of our scarf, we fill up the aperture of the waistcoat with an ambitious quantity of drapery, and we stick therein an enormous and obtrusively ostentatious pin. This is both vulgar and foolish. If we want s stock, it should he perfec'ly plain—a la militaire ; for it is, in truth, an article of military attire, worn for the express pnrpose of giving stiffness and smartness to the figure. If we want a scarf, do not let us misconceive the nature of its form, the law of its curves, and huddle it up into an untidy, unmeaning mass, fit for nothing but to serve as a field of display for what is commonly cheap and bad jewellery. We may be wrong, but we strongly suspect that the tie-stock and the large silk scarf were brought into use by some dirty fellow, whose linens would not stand the test of public examination; and, indeed, when ever we see a roan more than usually adorned in this way about the neck, we conjecture tint all is net right be neath. A small black or judi c i ous ly co l oure d crava t, with a very small bow, and just sufficient stiffness to give dignity to the head—this should he the morning wear of the real gentleman ; in the evening, let him put on the finest fabric of the flax-room, and the most expensive lace he can afford to purchase—they will be very becom mg, and will be duly appreciated by the ladies, who know the cost of such things; all silks and stocks let him leave to men-milliners.—" "Esthetics of Dress," in Black wood's Magazine. LIFE OF A BRAMIN.—The first quarter of a Bramin's life he must spend as a student; during which time be leads a life of abstinence and humiliation. His attention should be unremittingly directed to the Vedas, and should on no account he wasted on worldly studies. He should treat his preceptor with implicit obedience, and with hum ble respect and attachment, which ought to be extended to his family. He must perform various servile offices for his preceptor, and must labour for himself in bringing logs and other materials for sacrifice, and water for oblations. He must subsist entirely by begging from door to door. For the second quarter of his life he lives with his wife and family, and discharges the ordinary duties of a Bramin. These are briefly stated to be, readin g and teaching the Vedas e sacrificing, and assisting others to sacrifice ; be stowing alms and accepting gifts." T: e most honourable of these employments is teaching. It is remarkable th it, unlike other religions where the dignity of the priesthood is derived from their service at the temples, a Bramin is considered as degraded by performing acts of worship, or assisting at sacrifices as a profession. All Bramins are strongly and repeatedly prohibited Irons receiving gilts from lowborn, wicked, or unworthy persons. They are not even to take many presents from unexceptionable giv era, and are carefully to avoid making it a habit to accept of unnecessary presents. When the regular sources fail, a Bramin may. for a mere subsistence, glean, or beg, or cultivate. or even (in cases of extreme necessity) he may trade ; but he must in no extremity enter into service ; he must not have recour s e t o p o p u l ar conversa ti on, must ab ' stain from music, singing, dancing, gaming, and generally from every composure. lie should, indeed, refrain from all sensual enjoyments, should avoid all wealth that may impede his reading the Vedas, and should shun all worldly honour as he would poison. Yet he is not to subject him self to fasts, or other needless severities. All that is re quired is, that his life should be decorous, and occupied in the prescribed studies and obse rvances . E sen hi e dress is laid down with minuteness ; and he may easily be figured (much as learned Bramins are still) quiet and demure. clean and decent " his hair and beard clipped, his pas sions subdued, his mantle white, and his body pure, with a staff and a copy of the Vedas in his hands, and bright golden rings in his ears." When he has paid the three debts, by reading the Scriptures, begetting a son, and per- forming the regular sacrifices, he may (even in the second portion of his life) make over all to his son, and remain in his family house, with no other employment but that of an umpire. The third portion of a Bramin's life he must spend as an anchorite in the woods. Clad in bark, or in the skin of a black antelope, with his hair and nails un cut, sleeping on the bare earth, he must live " without fire, without a mansion, wholly silent, feeding on roots fruit." He must also submit to many and barrel mortifi cations, expose himself naked to the heaviest r a i ns , wear humid garments in winter, arid in the summer, stand in the middle of five fires, under the burning sun. He must carefully perform all sacrifices and oblations, and consider it his special duty to fulfil the prescribed forms and ceremonies of religion. In the last period of his life the Brunie' is nearly as solitary and abstracted as during the third. But he is now released from all form and ex ternal observances : his business is contemplation—his mortifications cease. His dress now nearly resembles that of ordinary Bramins, and his abstinence, though still great, is not so rigid as before. He is no longer to invite suffering, but he is to cultivate equanimity, and to enjoy delight in meditation on the divinity ; till at last he quits the body, as a bird leaveth the branch of a tree at its plea. sure.—Elphinstone's India. PUNISHMENT OF ADULTERY IN NEW ZEALAND. — The clime of adultery was most severely punished by Nagarno . u, or " the islands," one of the principal chiefs, on his wife. He stripped her naked, and dragged her along the beach by the hair of the head, beating her vio lently at intervals. Nor did any one attempt to interfere, the whole body of natives remaining passive spectators of the cruel penalty. The adulterer's house was visited by the assembled relations of the wife and husband, who plundered it of everything they could lay their hands on, while he offered no resistance, or even remonstrance, ac cording to Maori custom. The taua, or " foray," ex tended to a hut belonging to him on the island, from which Barrett's attendants brought mats, flax, and other articles, in great glee.— Wakefield's Adventures. PLEASURES OF SWEARING AN ALIBI.—" Well, Paddy was overjoyeJ, because his sister was to be married de same night to a Blackwater boy, and it was mighty con vanient to ' attind when called on ;' and get de fun of de wedding altogedcr—and he says to me, ' I owe you a kind turn, Murtogh, for de alibi you swore to la-t 'sizes, for my fader's broder.in-law—asbould as a ram." Oh 1 dat's noting,' I says, laughing, ' betwixt friends, noting at all ; it's grate fun, a downright reale alibi, swore and proved through as good as forty oaths, in an' out—boddering the bigwigs, just when dey tink dey have it all dere own way ; de poor boy trembling in de dock wid de rope round bis neck, and no more trouble to de law, but to pull it ! when in comes forty witnesses to prove de alibi ! Oh. it's raale glory !—ani de faces of 'ern !' Well, though he'd no more mind his call den shooting a rat, he tought a dale of, as he called it, poor fellow, my parjuring my sowl for his fader's hroder-in-lai—and more, on account of fearing to go nigh de priest, to get ase in his own mind—trough a pilgrimage or someting like dat. So come wid me,' he says, now, de girls at de Blackwater are as fond as yerself of music; and we'll settle Connel at de same time ; only, remember, I'm first, and you're second.' "—The TVhileboy, by Mrs. S. C. Hall. CONTEMPORARY ORATORS—SIR ROBERT PEEL AND LORD JOHN RUSSELL—We have already placed Lord J. Russell second to Sir Robert Peel in the art of managing the house.> He certainly must yield to him in that Pro tean spirit, that plasticity of temperament which enables the right hon. baronet to enter at will into, and personate for the time being, the many opposite characters which he has filled daring his long career. Although Lord John Russell has at times shewn that be is cognisant of all the many shades of difference which mark the opinions of op posite Sections of his party—although he, the aristocratic Whig, can sympathise for the hour with the political eco nomist, the advocate of extension of the suffrage, the free trader, or the Dissenter, still the scale of his operations is not to be compared with the magnificent sphere occupied by Sir Robert Peel. Nothing shott of what the late Chas. Mathews used to call his monopolylogue will satisfy the latter; the former is content with playing all the parts in his own peculiar line ; and now and then, perhaps on great occasions, one or two additional, provided always they are in the regular dr..naa. But although Lord John Russell, either from being restrained by principle, or from the want of skill, may not attempt those bold and gigan tic delusions—those mesmeric practices on the credulity of the House of Commons, which characterise the public career of Sir Robert Peel, yet there are many points in respect of which he may, as a speaker, be regarded as su perior to his rival. If he does not accomplish as much by his orations, they often exhibit higher qualities of mind, and produce the immediate result of pleasing the auditory with much less appearance of preparation and effort. Sir Robert gains his end by a tremendous expenditure of words, a sacrifice of straightforward argument, a transpa rent mystification, and a perpetual repetition of his views, which would be tedious even in a legal advocate. Lord John trusts rather to a simple, clear, and plain exposition of his meaning, unambitious, yet pregnant with thought. He steals in unpretending guise on the attention of his hearers, pursues his undeviating course without apparent effort, unfolds all his views without suspicion of prepara tion, while leaving no material point undisposed of; and then, suddenly, when such a thing is least expected, he strikes out some original and bold conception, something that rings at once on the intellectual ear as sterling gold ere even it is tested, that bears away the admiration even of those who are most prepared to contest the truth of the proposition it contains, while it charms the whole house into applause. One such accidental and apparently un premeditated stroke raises him instantly far higher in the esteem of the house, than all the laboured, though succes ful sophistries of an orator like Sir Robert Peel.—Fraser.

Tits OLD ENGLAND AFFAIR.—The stewards of the Jockey Club have published their report on the affair, the most material part of which is the following That J. F. Bloodsworth, William Stebbins, and Vs illiam Day be warned off the course at Newmarket, and out of the coffee-room yard there; and that William Day be not permitted to ride in any race at Newmarket. They also recommend the proprietors and stewards of all race courses where the rules of the Jockey Club are in force to prevent them appearing on such course."

" LIVERPOOL JULY CUP SWEEP."-It will be seen by our advertising columns that Mr. White, of the Globe, has a second sweep on the above event, which, we under stand, is rapidly filling. GLASS.—Those who are in want of glass would do well, previous to purchasing, to examine the extensive stock of Mr. Smith, of Bold-street, advertised in our paper of to-day. His prices are incredibly low, and his assort ment being immense, and all of the newest character in pattern and design, presents a variety unequalled. lie has also a large assortment of vases of the most elegant form•, embossed and relieved in burnished gold and enamelled painting, particularly suited for either home or foreign markets. We have to acknowledge the kindness of Captain Craw ford, of the Princess Royal, in favouring us yesterday morning, shortly after seven o'clock 4 with the London papers of Wednesday. This splendid steamer accom plished her trip in fifteen hours, the shortest ever made. The passengers were immediately forwarded to Glasgow by special train, and were in that city in sixteen hours from leaving Liverpool. In all likelihood, nothing will surpass this until railway c3mmunication connects the two kingdoms. The London papers of Wednesday were in our hands the following morning, as early as those of Tuesday evening, by courseofpost.—GreenockAdvertiscr. TRANSPARENT VENTILATOR.—We beg to direct at tention to an advertisement in another column, in refer ence to Bailie's slide valve ventilator. The invention is remarkable for its simplicity and efficiency. It consists first of a series of louvres of glass, which are permanently fixed at a certain inclination, so that the currents of air maybe directed upwards and dispersed ; and secondly, of a sliding valve, likewise of glass, which regulates the quantity of air admitted, and which, when closed, renders the openings perfectly air-tight. The general appearance of the ventilator is by no means displeasing, and we should be inclined to say that it is worthy the attention of archi tects and builders. It can be seen at the premises of Mr. Forrest's, Old Haymarket. We refer our readers to the advertisement of Mr. Ayres in another column. This gentleman, whose treat ment of the hair rests entirely upon its analytical exami nation, has, we understand, been very successful in some cases of considerable difficulty. The following observe tio is we copy from his essay on the subject:—"lt ap pears that an e rroneous op i n i on h as b een ente rtained in supposing a tube to ex i s t f rom th e b u lb t o th e extremity of the hair, which has probably arisen from an unequal refraction of light when examined bysthe microscope, but it is quite certain that the hair which projects beyond the skin is perfectly solid. This discovery is highly impor tant, as no nutrim en t can b e conveye d un l ess a b sor bed by diaphoretic action,—thus proving the inutility of many of the oils and other articles employed, which, as they cannot penetrate to the roots, remain on the surface of the skin, and produce the formation of dandruff. In the analysis of six different shades of defective hair, each yield. eda different re su lt, so t h at i t i s a b sur d to suppose one universal application can succeed in restoring it to a healthy condition." Mr. Ayres then proceeds to explain how the hair can be restored to a perfect state, and bald ! ness prevented and removed. R. D. REEVES AND CO., GREAT GEORGE-PLACE, OPPOSITE ST. JAMES'S MARKET.

The astonishing success which has crowned the applica tion of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, an this after the ablest advice and every other means had comp'etely most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted.

Sia,--Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr. Barnes, of St. Paitl's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was com pelled to be confined by a strait. waistcoat to prevent his commit ing any violence, and whose case was considered entirely hopeless, twos induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of he truth of my information, encouraged me to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, hav ing been many years so severe a sufferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able in adding my testimony of the benefit I derived : after a few days' application the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business, and, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my life. To those, hots ever severely afflicted and hopeless their case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling fluqe satisfied they will be restored to the use of their limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Me- dicine. health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to those who are deprived, none feels it so severe as the tradesman or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and rum on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to those afflicted, to evince haw grateful I am for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD, October 20, 1844. Well-street, Cripplegate. ST a,--I bare been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout ane Ilheumatistn, not a part. from my heal to feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my - medical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortutiately your remedy was made known to me, or I migh have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close application of four days, my troublesome companion began to disappear ; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medicine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, D W. STONE. 14, Belmont-place, lf'undsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844.

FRANI PTON'S PILL OF HEALTH. THE manifold advantages to the heads of families from .1 the possession of a medicine of/known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence; and used with success in cases of temporary sickness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every householder in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the fol lowing is respectfully submitted : " TO MR. THOMAS PROUT, 229, STRAND, LONDON. " 5, Cooper-street. Manchester, March 12, 1812. " Sir,—l have much satisfaction in communicating to you the result of toy experience after repeated trials of FStAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH, and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bale, &c. &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am, therefore, wa.ranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long wanting of being able to recommend to Families, Schools, and especially Mercantile Men, whe ther at the desk or on the road, a most viluab'e resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit to myself if. in giving this testimony, 1 am the means of making FRAMPTON'S PILLS more generally known and appreciated. _ " I am, sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITE!."
