MILK PUNCH ROYAL ► MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER MAJESTY. THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, , for nearly a century, been duly appreciated at CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projector of this delectable beverage had his `ttbode ; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked their approbation of this GREAT DISCOVERY by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the Lon rivants of the northern arts of this great Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendant merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, . . but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS take the hint ? And although it may_ not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by aye. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and alepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this i ncomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, is a n old Sayin g and a good one ; and as in matters of taste assurance an man is the best judge, this invitation is given in th e full palate, it will ce that, if th e Milk P unc h on ly finds its way t o t h e quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

Mrs. PENN begs leave to inform the Medical Profession of Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, and the Public in general, that she has received a fresh supply of the bony- RETTED MINERAL WATERS from the Medicated Bathing Institution of Dublin, under the direction of Dr. Sir ARTHUR CLARKE. These Waters possess all the properties of the French and German Spas, and have become as popular as they are efficacious in the treatment of Cutaneous and other complaints which do not readily yield to Medicine alone; and many Invalids who suffered from Loss of Appe tite, Constipation of Bowels, Gout, &c., have }wen (by a course of these Waters) prevented from incurring the expense and inconvenience of long journeys in search of health to the various watering places on the Continent.

B. and P. beg to direct attention to the Certificate of that eminent Chemist, Dr. Fife, of Edinburgh, in corroboration of their statement : Brown and Poison's Patent Powder Starch, unequalled for strength and purity, the best and most profitable in the market.—l hereby certify that I have submitted to Chemical investigation the Starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Poison, of Paisley, and that I have found it to be a pure article, consequently fre e f rom a ny ingredient that would act injuriously even on the finest Fabrics. From trials, con ducted with it under my own superintendence, I have found that in Starching it goes much farther than the best kinds of Patent Starch ; that it gives an equally fine finish, and that articles starched with it are not liable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of manufacturing the Starch, iu all its stages, I am satisfi e d th a t P o tato Flour is not used in its manufacture. Aw. FIFE, F.R.S.E., Lecturer on Chemistry.

STEAM NAVIGATION ON THE TiinaiEs.—The number carried by the Iron Steamboat Company, on Sunday last, to and from the various stations between London-bridge and Chelsea, was 30.000 ; the wooden boats of the London and Westminster Steam Company carried upwards of 20,000 on the same stations ; the seven steamers of the Watermen'a C ompan y conveyed from the Adelphi-pier, Blackfriars bridge, and Old Shades, to Greenwich; Woolwich, BlaCk wall, Wapping, and Charlton, 10,000 passengers, and brought back about the same number. The old Greenwich and Woolwich steamers conveyed to and from those places 30,000 souls, and there was an immense business doing between the railway-wharf at Blackwall and Gravesend, Greenwich, and Woolwich. The earnings of the Railway Company's steam ers, the Blackwall, Railway, and Brunswick, between the terminus and Gravesend, exceeded 3001. The Star and Diamond packets, the Father Thames and Sons of the Thames, the Eagle and the Falcon, and other Gravesend steamers were all well filled, and the number of v i s it ors w h o landed at Gravesend and the adjoining village o f N or thfl ee t, was about 36.000 ; the various steamers making about 80 trips to and from those places. The steamers which carried down passengers to the Rotherville-pier at Northfleet for sd. each were fearfully crowded. The anxiety to obtain a cheap trip in those boats was so great that more than 1,500 persons were left behind at London•hridge, Greenwich, and Wool wich. The city of Canterbury and Red Rover took down 1,000 persons on Sunday on an excursion to Herne Bay and Margate ; and, notwithstanding the fares have been lately raised and restored to the old footing, those two vessels are daily crowded with company. Every village between Rich mond and Gravesend has now its steatn-boat piers for the accommodation of passengers ; and the banks of the Thames, above and below the bridge, have become the outlet for a vast portion of the people of the metropolis every Sunday during the summer season. Wandsworth, P utney, an d Richmond received 12,000 visitors on Sunday and Monday, and the rural villages of Erith, Greenhithe, Purfleet, and Grays, on the Kent and Essex shores, are beginning to be visited by the. Londoners; and arc certainly preferable to the close streets of Woolwich and Gravesend. There are now 140 steam-vessels navigating the Thames, in addition to the General Steam Navigation Company's fleet, and the Irish, Scotch, and foreign steamers. There will be at least 30 more next season, and the Watermen's Steam-packet Company have just determined on building five more, to be ready by the spring of 1843. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE. — On Saturday last, the coro ner for Warwickshire summoned a jury on an inquest, near Cheltenham. They proceeded with the surgeon and the po lice to view and examine the body, which lay on six chairs in a small room, on the ground floor, adjoining a kitchen in the house, the property of the deceased, and in this room there was scarcely room for all to stand. The two last jurymen were just entering it, followed by a reporter of one of the Cheltenham papers. and Superintendent Russell (a nurse and two female neighbours had just retired from it, by desire of the coroner,) when an extraordinary noise like cracking was heard, arid in an instant every board in the floor was cracked to pieces, and the whole floor gave way in the centre, with the joists and beams under, precipitating 12 of the jury, with the coroner, surgeon, and police into the cellar below, and over them rolling, with the chairs on which it rested, the body of the deceased. The clouds of dust enveloped all in momentary obscurity. At length the party in the cellar were presented to view, but no means of any egress were observable, the ordinary entrance to the cellar having been stopped up with broken and still falling timber and rubbish. One of the two jurymen managed to escape from being near the door, and being rather a tall man, he recovered by placing his foot on the hare head of the coroner, who was in the cellar below, being landed on his feet there. Not a voice or outcry was heard up to this time, but all were as silent in this painful situation as he about whose death the living were assembled to inquire ; but immediately on his being assisted up the coroner gave orders for a ladder to he sent for to enable the others to get out, and himself cleared the way down the steps, directing the jury and others the safest and quickest means of escape, and superintended, with the aid of one of the jury and a policeman, still in the cel lar, the elevating the body out of this premature and uncere monious grave into which it had, carrying the living before it, been thus cast ; the end wall and the rest of the floor out , side the door-way all the time appearing ready to fall. We are happy to say no limbs were broken, although sundry sprains, scars, and bruises were complained of by all. The inquiry immediately proceeded. ROYAL MATCHMAKING IN SPAIN. — On the night of the 18th instant, the eldest son of the Infanta, Donna Carlota arrived at Madrid from Corunna, attended by an escort of 12 horsemen, who had been despatched to meet him. It is set tled that both he and his parents are to leave this city shortly, they for Seville, and he to join his regiment —one of the few points on which the Regent has of late expressed himself decidedly, and on which his authorityis unquestioned by all parties. The young man might have remained here uninterruptedly, I am assured, if his mother could have kept her ambitious diplomacy quiet; but her temperament is of a character that little brooks delay or self-denial of any kind. Her matchmaking propensities have displayed them selves in his favour with quite as much family pretension and as little prudence as those of Louis Philippe were an. nounccd on behalf of his own offspring. She insisted upon having him nominated to a captaincy in the regiment of Hussars de la Princesa, that he might enjoy the enviable privilege of escorting the Queen in her daily drives, and car ried her point with the docile Senor Gonzales triumphantly. The Regent, however, saw the possible results of these " opportunities" in a different light, and resolved not to let the question of the Royal marriage (already a sufficiently difficult one) be embarrassed by such a female coup d'eclat. He therefore sent the favoured regiment of Hussars out of town, and all things arc arranged that the young Prince shall follow them, and " attach himself to the career that he has chosen.'' Donna Carlota has made some move ments in other quarters with similar want of tact and ill success. The court intrigues and family influences, which were so powerful some ten years since, are now sadly shorn of their glories. The Moderados appear to have retired to despair (for the present at least,) and cannot be moyf . q.... come out of their hiding places ; while the Nation!!! 1 1%_11_ lit,La adopt a bolder tone, and say openly that they y_ 1, ` family. made a catspaw of, even to please one of th_ oy , ti o ,), l o to Nothing remains but for this branch of th to e re ß sgo ' quit the capital for the present, and result of themselves with the best grace they may topublic opinion on their case, expressed through the the itegent decidedly and irrevocably. MARCH OF BARBER-ISM.—The following choice moreeau is an exact copy of a written bill exhibited at the window of a barber in Barbican :—" Mos eau have there Hare Dresst Hear at a moderate charge. Plese to Walke hie Gentel rnen. No Watinge. Altvayes Reddy." PiN-111oNEY.—A tax was very anciently levied in France for providing the Queen with pins, from whence the term pin -money was adopted into our language, to dbsignate that provision for married women with which the husband is most privileged to interfere. A lady paying a visit to her daughter, who was a young widow, asked her why she wore the widows's garb so long ? " Dear mamma, don't you see ?" replied the daughter ; " this saves me the expense of advertising for a husband, as every one can see I am for sale by private contract." REASONABLE ENOUGH. ---All American editor says, "We don't mind recording the deaths of the people without being paid for our trouble, though that is not fair : but panegyrics on the dead must be paid for —we positively cannot send people to heaven for nothing. FLEUR-DE-LIS.—It seems generally agreed by the French antiquaries that these were originally designed to represent the heads of spears, which seems very probable, as they cer tainly bear very little, if any, resemblance to lilies. Such a change is not uncommon in ancient blazonry', from the painter's imperfect representation of the thing intended. The lions in the arms of England were originally leopards. RECOGNITION.—A lady, accustomed to give herself airs of importance, on being introduced to a gentleman of rank for the first time, said, with much cool indifference, " 1 think, sir, I have seen yo u somew h ere. " " I t hi n k i t very l i kely, madam," he replied with equal coolness, " as I am always somewhere." KIi:EPING VP APPEAR AN CES.-Dr. Franklin says—" The eyes of other people are the eyes that ruin us. If all but myself were blind, I should never want a fine house nor fine furniture." ARAMAN LANGUAGE. --Some idea may he formed of the richness of the Arabian language, from the fact that it con tains one thousand different words for sword, four hundred for lion, four hundred for serpent, and eighty for honey. What a language to make war or love in. - - It was said of a lady, who had just completed her fourth decade, and who played ve r y l ou dl y on the piano, while she never alluded to her age except in a whisper, that she was forte upon her piano, but piano upon her forty. But the trial of trials comes ten years later. To that female, therefore, be awarded the palm of fortitudinis fortitude forti3Bima, who has shown that she knows how to bear her fiftytude with fortitude. GUINEA. will be GUINEA.—A correspondent informs us of an estate on the Northside, where the canes are all rotting for want of cutting, and yet where there are a hundred and fifty free emancipated basking in the sun in glorious inde pendence, who refuse to work at any price ! " Guinea bery tired—hie ! Quashie free man! Quashie no work when he no like—Busha may go to the debit, and him cane too ! !!" Alas ! poor, poor Jamaica! —Jamaica Standard. AN AFFECTIONATE LOVER.—A lady, who had £50,000 of fortune, ran away to Scotland with a gentleman she liked vastly ; but she was a little doubtful of him, and bad a mind to try him ; so when they stopped to dine and change horses, and all that, she said, "Now, as I have a great re gard for you, (as, I dare say, you have for me,) I will tell you a secret. I have got no fortune at all, in reality, but only £5,000, for all the rest is a mere pretence ; but if you like me for myself, and not for my fortune, you wont mind that." So the gentleman said, " Oh, I dont regard it at all, and you are the same charming angel that ever you was," and all those things that people say to one, and then went to see about the chaise. So he did not come back; but when dinner was ready, the lady said, " Pray, where is he ?" " Lor', ma'am, said they, " why, that gentleman has gone ever so long!" So she came back by herself, and now she's married to ppmebody else, and has her £50,000 fortune all safe.---Afactame d' Arblay. SENATORIAL ORATORY IN AMERICA.—Mr. Sevier, of Arkansas, recently addressed the senate on the subject of a private claim, and his speech on the occasion is so unlike the usual run of congressional speeches, that we can publish the whole of it without burthenin4 our columns or fatiguing our readers—which cannot be said of many speeches in either house. Here it is entire :—" Mr. President-4 hope the Senate will indulge me in taking up a bill that has passed the house five times and the Senate seven. It is for the relief of an old man in Arkansas, who is in feeble health, and has not long to live, and I want it passed before be dies." We may state, in the hope of inducing other members to imitate this style of oratary, that Mr. Sevier's speech was altogether successful. He gained his point without provoking a reply, and the subject passed off without calling forth any allusions to the abstract principles of democracy, the public lands, eur revolutionary forefathers, universal suffrage,• free trade, liberty in general, or war with England.—Baltimore Amer ican. APPROPRIATION OF TIME.—" My dear Tom," said an exquisite to a brother idler, "how do you spend the 24 hours ?" "In charity," replied his friend. "In charity " Yes ; firstly I give 12 hours to sleep, and of the remaining 12 I give two to dress, four to eating and drinking, four to the play or opera, and two to smoking and building." " Build ing ?" " Yes--castles in the air ; and Ido assure you 'tis most agreeable pastime. And now what do you think of my disposition ?" " Equitable as 'tis amiable, Tom," replied his friend, " and I must take a leaf out of your day-book." " My waste book call it, " said Tom, in which the initials L.S.D. may be appropriately construed lounging, smoking, drinking; and the sum total the luxury of indolence—the doke far niente."—Crowquill, i❑ Bentley's Miscellany. In the vale of Llanrhaidr-yu-Mochnant, near Oawestry, in Shropshire, a fine load of hay, with the waggon, was last week totally consumed in consequence of a workman drop ping a lighted stick in the hay after lighting his pipe. At Oxford Assizes, two ,ruffians, named Brownsell and Smith, were sentenced to transportation for life, for com mitting a highway robbery, near ' Chipping' Norton, on the person of Mr. Charles Forty,`ofStow-on-the-Wolti. How TO CALCULATE THE INCOME TAX.—Rule—Take the pounds as pence, and multiply them by the number of pence given in the pound.

It is easy, therefore, to anticipate the extensive influence which the chit* must exercise on the affairs of commerce.—Exetei• Geizette. ' Eton School broke up on Monday for ,the, hOlidays. Th e number of scholars for 1842. is 649, being an increase of 24 since last year, and upwards of 300 since the commencement o f the present century, when the numbers were only 357. From the foundation of the College upwards of 2,256 scholars have passed to King's. A melancholy case .of suicide occurred here on Monday morning. A respectable young man, but recently married, was found•suspended by the neck in an out-house belonging to his sister. It was said that for years past he was subject to fits of insanity ; and, strange to say, he himself lately carried on a correspondence with the governor of a Lunatic Asylum in Ballinasloe, asserting that he was a fit subject to be taken care of in that establishment. It is said that some quarrel with a near relative was the cause of the rub act. — Dublin paper. A meeting was held on Tuesday by the wine trade, at the Commercial Sale-rooms, Alincing-lane, London, and was most numerously attended by the influential members. The object was to take into consideration the equity of obtaining a reduction of the duty on stock in band, in the event of a treaty with Portugal coming into operation. Arguments were used in favour of the reduction, the cogency of which cannot be doubted. It was unanimously resolved that par liament should be petitioned for the reduction, and a com mittee was appointed to carry the resolution into effect.— Times. . . . -.....-- THE LEAGUE.—At a meeting held last week, at Halifax, Mr. Feargus O'Connor thus expresso(' himself—" I am not just the man to keep the secrets of the League. Now let every man pay particular attention to the following disclo sure coming from Mr. Acland, the principal !pouter of th e plague.' Acland said to me, ' Well, Mr. O'Connor, we shall either have a repeal of the corn laws or the charter i n six weeks.' I replied, 4 Indeed !—how ?
