BEWARE OF SUMMER I THOUGH the Season is delightful, yet exposure to the scorching rays of the SUN produces upon the delicate skin a species of inflammation, which, upon subsiding, leaves a permanent stain of inveterateTAN, or Sprinkles of FRECKLE; in other instances, a discoloration inclining to ItEnNEss, or SWELLlNG — ultimately assuming one of the multitudinous forms of ERUPTION. The only efficacious preventive against these unpleasant liabilities of the SKIN and COMPLEXION is ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, It BOTANICAL PREPARATION from Balsamic Exotics ; for, whe ther resorted to in its specific character as a t ough purifier of existing defects of an eruptive nature iscolorations of the Skin, or as a benign PRESERVEI ( PROMOTER of its already bright and glowing tints, s ELEGANT TOILET REQUISITE han in every ins e, maintained its claim to the title of "TH E UNFAILING ILIARY OF FEMALE GRACE." During SUMMER and i UMN, which are peculiarly the seasons of FASHIONA 4 MOVEMENTS, the invigorating and refreshbN properti of ROWLAND'S KALYDOR will be found singularly agreeable to LADIES TRAVELLING. The effects produced by temporary EXPOSURE TO SOLAR HEAT, upon the FACE, NECK, ARMS, and HANDS, being neutral ized, and the cloud induced by relaxation and languor dispelled by its power of sustaining a perfect elasticity of the skin ; with out which, certain (though perhaps unheeded) deterioration takes place. Thus, in the usual Periodical Visits made to the Coast, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR is indispensable as a preserva tive after SEA BATHING, from the irritation caused by the chemical action of saline vapour. As a perfect illustration(l the unvestionable safety attend ing the application of Rowland's halydor, and of the wide range of its utility, its introduction to . the 'nursery, with the advantage which ensues in that interesting department of ma ternal solicitude, is most convincing ;—here it soothes every species of incidental inflammation, and fosters all those infan tine graces upon which the parental eye dwells with delight. This EXOTIC PREPARATION in every case promotes a healthy tone of the minute vessels, and is the most elegant as well as effective Toilet Appendage hitherto submitted to universal pa tronage. Price is. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per bottle. *** None are genuine without the words " ROWLAND'S KALYDOR" on the wrapper. The HEAT OF SUMMER, also, frequently communicates a dryness to the Hair and a tendency to fall off, which may be completely obviated by the use of -- - ROWLAND'S M A CASSAR OIL, • - -------- A DELIGHTFULLY FRAGRANT - L/T;TIiANSPARENT PREPARA TION ; and, as an invigorator and beautifier, beyond all precc dent.

STANDING Copy of a Letter from Mr. Thomas Taylor, Chemist, Stockton Durham, 17th Ayril, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,—I think it my duty to inform you that Mrs. Clough, wife of Mr. John Clough, a respectable farmer of Acklam, within four miles of this place, had been suffering from Dropsy for five years, and had had the best medical advice without receiving any relief. Hearing of your Pills and Ointment, she used them with such surprising benefit that, in fact, she has now given them up, being so well and quite able to attend to her house hold duties as formerly, which she never expected to do again. I had almost forgotten to state that she was given up by the Faculty as inenrable. When she used to get up in the morning it was impossible to discover a feature in her face, being in such a fearful state. This cure is entirely by the use of your medi cines. -1, am, Sir, yours, &c. &c., (Signed) THOMAS TAYLOR.

It appears pretty good in the ear, and quite free from blight.—Brighton Gaz. The accounts of the harvest are favourable from all quarters. Wheat-cutting commenced in some districts last week ; this week it has been general : and the yield ig bk UV{ Pi anti rue pert" I most promising. The rains of last week have produced favourable effect on the potato and turnip crop; and wer it not for the apprehensions excited by the recurrence ii some parts of the country of the potato disease, the har vest prospects would be in all respects cheering.—Spec tator. POTATO PEEL AS SEED FOR POTATOES.—E,...., the first week in May last, 'Mr. Conies, of Glouceste. directed his gardener to try an experiment in plantin potatoes. He took three potatoes of rather large film and peeled them—the substance of the peel not exceedin, the thickness of a shilling—taking care in. all cases t preseitve the eyes perfect. The peel was divided int portions varying in size from the dimensions of a penn to a shilling. It was planted in the ordinary way ; th soil is light and suited to potato culture; but the plat_ selected was rather disadvantageous, being near a large and thick hedge. At the same time some sets of three other potatoes were planted in the usual manner in ground close adjoining. At the close of last week the latter were taken up, but owing to an accidental circumstance, the exact produce cannot be ascertained. On Monday even ing, Mr. Conies ordered the rows which had been sown with potato pet 1 to be dug up ; when it was ascertained that the produce of the peel of the three potatoes, which were of the common Cockney sort, amounted to sixty-two or good size and excellent quality, besides some smaller ones ; the weight of the sixty-two being rather more than eight pounds. We have not seen, in fact, a better sample this season, and it is stated that the produce from the potatoes planted in the ordinary way ,was certainly not larger, if so large. - The experiment, although not per fectly novel, is interesting.— Gloucestershire Chronicle. SCOTLAND.—It is too early to speak decisively of the crop in this part of the United Kingdom, but in general appearances are favourable. TOBIAS v. STUART.
