THE successful results of the last Half Century have proved beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACAS SAR OIL possesses singularly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has failed. This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other preparationsfor the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair—produces a thick and luxuriant growth—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff— and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; and in the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachios, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recom mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine-comb unnecessary. In dressing the hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it s o a d m i ra bly soft that it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcen• dant lustre. A small Pamphlet accompanies each Bottle of ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, wherein important hints and advice will be found on the Culture of the Hair of Infancy and on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of human life.—Price 3s. 6d. and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s. CAUTION ! On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words, ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, in two lines. The same are engraven on the back of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters. BEAUTIFUL "CONIPCEItION.—RbWLANDS' KALYDOR, an Oriental Botanical Preparation, possessing balsamic pro perties of surprising energy. It eradicates Tan, Freckles, Pimples, Spots, Redness, and other Cutaneous Visitations ; transforms the most Sallow Complexion into one of a healthy and juvenile bloom ; and imparts a delicacy and softness to the Neck, Hands, and Arms. Perseverance in its application pro motes a free and uninterrupted exercise of those important functions of the Skin so essential to the preservation of health, and the attainment and continuance of a Beautiful Complexion. During the heat and dust of Summer, and in cases of sunburn, stings of insects, or incidental inflammation, its virtues have long and extensively been acknowledged.—Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per bottle. CA UTION. —The words ROWLA NOS' KA LYDOK are on the wrapper of each bottle, and their signature, A. Row- LAND SONS, 20, Hatton-garden, London, in red ink, at foot. THE TEETH AND HEALTH.—A good set of Teeth ever insures favourable impressions, while their preservation is of the utmost importance to every individual, both as regards the general health by the proper mastication of food, and the con sequent possession of pure and sweet breath. Among the various preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing, purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Prepared from Oriental Herbs with unusual care,transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, and impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. Price 2s. 9d. per box. CAUTION.—The words ROWLANDS' ODONTO are on the Label, and "A. Rowland 4-Sons, 20, Hatton qarden,"engraved on the Government Stamp affixed on each box. Sold by the Proprietors, and by Chemists and Perfumers. *.* Beware of Spurious Imitations I ! BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following extracts from Testimonials are proofs of thegreat efficacy of this Medicine. That from Garrett Foster Gill ' Esq., 157, New Bond-street, London, concludesby saying— " Whenever I feel any symptoms of the disease approaching I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable that, were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suffered; but, on the contrary, I believe the tendency of Blair's Pills is towards its improvement." " Twelve years ago," writes Mr. Blake, ofKingscliffe, North amptonshire, " I became afflicted with rheumatic gout, and I procured the best advice possible, but without deriving benefit ; and the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infir mary, where I continued twelve weeks, and left it without obtaining any benefit, and all my hope of relief had vanished. This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised me to try Blair's Pills. I then lost no time in sending to Mr. Mortlock, of Stamford, for a box; and by the time I had taken that quantity I got rid of one crutch. 1 then sent for another box, which enabled me to throw away the other; and thank God I have never since had such an attack."

S. GOWEN. A DANGEROUS LIVER COMPLAINT AND SPASMS IN THE STOMACH EFFECTUALLY CURED. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Bostock, Druggist, of Ashton under-Lyne, dated July 31, 1852. To Professor Holloway,—Dear Sir,—A person in this neigh bourhood with whom I am well acquainted was afflicted for a long time with violent spasmodic pains in the stomach and liver, arising from frequent colds, smells of paint, and the ef fects of a stooping position which he was obliged to assume in his business. At length he heard of your invaluable Pills, and gave them a trial. The first dose gave him considerable re lief, and by following them up in accordance with your direc tions, they have acted so wonderfully in cleansing the liver and stomach, and strengthening the digestive organs, that he has been restored to the enjoyment of good health.

TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN FAMILY ME DICINES.—These medicines have long been in use, and have innumerable testimonials in their favour. They are made up wholly of Vegetable Substances, contain no mineral of any kind, and are perfectly safe and certain in their action on all persons, young or old. DR. TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN SARSAPARILLA is the great purifyer of the blood and the most efficient alterative probably that is known. It eradicates all acrid humours, dis eased particles, and morbid substances from the blood, flesh, and bones—its assimilation to the gastric juice of the stomach causes it to pass rapidly into and unite with the vital current, thus creating new, pure, and rich blood. Hence its wonderful efficacy in Scrofula, Mercurial Taint, Scald Head, Erysipelas, Rheumatism, Gout, Cutaneous Eruptions, Chronic Sore Eyes, and all other maladies arising from a bad state of the blood —hence, too, its value as a tonic, in cases of languor, great debility, and lassitude, nervous prostration, weakness, and tremulousness from any cause. It is inestimable in Female Complaints, in disease of the Lungs, Liver, Stomach, Me sentery, Kidneys, &c. Ladies of delicate constitutions, suf fering from any disorganization, with pale, emaciated coun tenances, feeble and weak, nervous and irritable, would do well to use the Sarsaparilla. This invaluable medicine pro duces the most salutary influence upon the nervous system, the circulation, the organs of nutrition and secretion, and being taken into the system by absorption and digestion, is conveyed into every minute part of the body by the circulating current, thus diffused everywhere—made omnipresent—exercising a healthful efficacy on every nerve and Hood vessel—on the brain, the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, and spleen, the skin, membranes, lands, and lymphatics—the bones, ten dons, and muscles — the blood, bile, gastric juice, lymph, chyle, &c., eradicating every morbid agent, every poison— invigorating all weak organs, enriching impoverished fluids, and affecting an entire renovation of the whole system.

THE ELIXIR OF HEALTH, like the Sarsaparilla, has met with great and deserved success in the cure of Female Corn plaints—both are peculiarly adapted to the constitution and ailments of females and almost never fail in those diseases pe cular to the sex. The Elixir is excellent in Colds, Coughs, Bronchitis, and other diseases of the Lungs and Chest, Pleurisy, Palpitation of the Heart, &c. It is a splendid remedy for Liver Complaints, Disease of the Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Sour Stomach, General Eruptions, Nervous Diseases, Sick Headache, Dropsy, Salt Rheum, and all Bilious Disorders. It cleanses out the whole system of acid, slime, worms, bile, &c., and like the Sarsaparilla, when used in the spring and fall, effectually puri fies the blood and secretions of bilious and other morbid mat ter, and thus prevents a host of other acute and chronic diseases. Half-pints, 2s. 9d. ; Pints, 4s. Gd. DR. TOWNSEND'S VEGETABLE PILLS hold a prominent place among his family medicines, and are greatly esteemed by all who have used them. As an aperient medicine, as a cleanser of all the foul and viscid humours of the stomach, as a regulator of the bowels and general secretions, and as a great an gentle preventive of the numerous complaints of the in testines and labouring organs of the body, these Pills cannot be excelled. Most of the Pills which are offered to the public are merely of a purgative or drastic character, and hence their limited usefulness, and often injurious results. They, more over, operate on parts or portions of the larger or smaller intestines, which is a proof of inefficiency not only, but of po sitive ii-jury, whereas Dr. Townsend's Pills produce an equal and steady movement throughout the entire alimentary or ira.estinal canal, diminishing . the quantity of the circulating mass, equalizing the circulation, and reestablishing a healthy state of the biliary organs, stomach, and intestines. Wher ever these Pills have been introduced into a family, no others are permitted to come—the difference is too great, too glaring, too palpable. Good medicine will always displace that which is worthless, and it is right that it should be so.—Boxes Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. DR..TOWNSEND'S INDIAN PANACEA, a preparation strictly confined to one class of complaints, viz.: " Diseases of the Intestines or Bowels." The success of this medicine in curing Cholera, Cholera Infantum, Diarrhea, Dysentery, Bloody Flux, Cramps, Spasms, or any complaints of the Dowels, surpasses anything that maybe said of Dr. Townsend's other Preparations. It is a special remedy, and does its work in a special manner. We feel that we are justified in saying, from the proof it has given, that it is INFALLIBLE, that it never fails to cure if used in the incipient stages of the attacks. It has been administered in thousands of cases, and we have never known it to fail i n a single instance, and we therefore believe it will not do so now.

FRANCE.—The funeral of Monsignore Garibaldi, the Pope's Nuncio, took place on Tuesday, at Notre Dame. Lord Cowley acted as chief mourner, having on his right Mgr. Vecchiotti, now Charge d'Affaires of the Holy See, and on his left the Abbe Meglia, secretary. The Emperor was represented by several of his household. [Jt must have been a gratifying sight to witness the representative of Queen Victoria, as the first to do honour to the obse quies of a Papal Nuncio.] The greatest activity prevails in the dockyard at Cher bourg, where the Austerlitz, mixed line of battle ship of 100 guns, and the Alceste, 52 gun frigate, are being got ready for sea. On Thursday a telegraphic message was received at Calais, from Paris, to secure every sailor under forty years of age, and who had not already served four years in the French navy. The men were ordered to be sent to Brest immediately. Several fishing-boats, having been deprived of their crews, have been dragged on shore. PRUSSIA.—It is believed that Prussia will evade com mitting herself to either side of the Turkish question. She does not lose her claim to position among the greater Powers by saying nothing on the subject ; but her note to London and St. Petersburgh is very inconclusive, for while she by no means holds out that she sides with France and England, she, at the same time, does not approve Russia's measures, and declines to become a party to an alliance of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, in the matter in question. SPAIN.—The streets of Madrid are thronged by my riads of the poor peasantry, who are pouring into the capital by thousands, from the famine-stricken province of Galicia. The government has voted 4,000,000 reals for their immediate relief ; but this is insufficient for the sup ply of their immediate wants even, and their distress is absolutely appalling. Hundreds have died from starvation and exposure to the inclemency of the weather. TURKEY.—An important document, signed by "Count Nesselrode," has been transmitted to the representatives of Russia at each foreign court. The following is the sub stance of it : —" Count Nesselrode expressly declares that Prince Menschikoff's mission had no other object than the arrangement of the disputes relative to the Holy Places ; that the blame and responsibility of the present ferment must be attributed to the claims put forth by France, and the concessions obtained by her ambassador, to the detri ment of those ss ho profess the Greek faith and to the ad vantage of those who profess the Roman Catholic faith ; that the Sultan, on being remonstrated with, solemnly promised to guarantee all the rights hitherto enjoyed by the Greek church ; and that, moreover, the Sultan for warded an autograph Hatti-scheriff, with a firman to that effect ; that the Czar accepted this promise, but soon found reason to regret having misplaced his confidence, owing to the duplicity and tergiversation of the Ottoman Cabinet, when called upon to put the firmer. into execu tion ; that the Turkish authorities at Jerusalem first denied any knowledge of the existence of such a document, but when constrained to promulgate it by the Russian Consul, they accompanied its promulgation by insults to the Greek Church ' • the firman, the solemn promise, was flagrantly violated by the bestowal of the key of the Church of Beth lehem upon the Latin or Papist Patriarch, and the Sultan thus acknowledged the supremacy of another Church than that which included the majority of his Christian subjects. This shameless, faithless conduct was ag gravated by the insulting tone of decision assumed by the Turkish cabinet; and the Czar, wounded in his reli gious feelings, felt bound to demand signal satisfaction." In conclusion, it says :—" if the rejection of the last means of conciliation we propose to solve the difficulties raised against us in the affair of the Holy Places should lead to complications which may break the peace, it is not on our shoulders that the responsibility for such events would rest," The English and French fleets are in Besika Bay. The Porte is making great efforts to place itself in a state of defence. The entrance of the Bosphorus is protected by the presence of the whole of the Ottoman fleet. The forts, which command the passage, are armed, and it was in contemplation to establish two camps, one on the heights of the village of Buyukdere, and the other, to be composed of the regiments of the guard, in the plain of Haidar-Pacha, near Scutari, in Asia. The Porte has declined the offers of services received from Hungarian, Italian, and Polish refugees in the event of a war with Russia, having decided on receiving assist ance only from English or French soldiers who have re ceived permission from their respective governments. The events at Constantinople have produced a profound sensation throughout Arabia. The numbers of pilgrims that are assembled at Mecca and all the native tribes wait but for the signal to commence the war. Religious fana ticism has reached the highest point. By a telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, of the 16th inst., we learn that the ultimatum of Russia has been finally rejected by the Porte. The note which informed the Russian government of this determination was com municated by Redachid Pacha to M. Balabine, secretary to the Russian Embassy, and only remaining representa tive of Russia at Constantinople. The note, which is in great part a recapitulation of the previous notes of the Turkish government, re-states the reasons of the Sultan for refusing his consent to any formal act, whether treaty, convention, or " capitulations," which would sacrifice his independence, by binding him to engagements, not in favour of foreign residents, but of Turkish subjects ; and by according to another power the right of interference between him and his people. At the same time, whilst firmly rejecting the ultimatum of Russia, the Porte ex presses its conviction that the Emperor's motives cannot be otherwise than loyal ; and to prove the high estimation in which she holds the character of the Czar Nicholas, and the truth of her belief in the sincerity of his friend ship, she offers to send a special envoy to St. Petersburgh, who shall open fresh negotiations. RUSSIA.—On the 12th the Emperor again visited the harbour of Cronstadt, to inspect the Baltic fleet there con centrated. Owing to the extensive purchases of grain for the supply of the Russian fleet and army, the prices have risen considerably. . , From Vienna, under date June 19, we learn that the Russian troops have not yet crossed the Pruth, but that the delay is owing to the insurmountable obstacles thrown in their way, by the overflowing of the Lower Danube, and all other rivers in those parts. The plains are trans formed into lakes, and the mouths of the rivers are so encumbered with sand, that the commander of the flotilla has declared, that the passage would be attended with the greatest dangers. - AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. By the British and North American Royal Mail steam ship Arabia, Commodore Judkins, which arrived here on Saturday forenoon, we have advices from New York to the 15th instant. _ _ By this voyage, which is the fastest ever made across the Atlantic, the palm of superiority now rests with the Cunard line. The Arabia sailed from New York at 0 35 p.m. on the 15th, and at 5 55 p.m. passed the royal mail steam-ship Asia, hence for New York. On the 25th, at 9 55 p.m., she passed the Bell Buoy ; at 10 34 a.m. saluted the Rock Light, and at 10 42 a.m. passed the Landing stage, having made the run in 9 days 17 hours and 11 minutes. The quickest previous run was by the United States mail steam-ship Arctic. She sailed from New York at noon on the 7th February, 1852, and passed the Landing-stage at 10 22 a.m. on the 17th, having made the run in 9 days 17 hours and 26 minutes mean time,—thus showing a difference in favour of the Arabia of fifteen minutes over the fastest passage ever previously made. This passage is also 3 hours and 39 minutes faster than the best run of the Pacific ; 8 hours and 24 minutes faster than the best run of the Baltic ; and 8 hours and 4 minutes faster than the best run of the Atlantic. It is also 1 hour and 45 minutes quicker than the best westerly run ever made. The Arabia brought 165 passengers, and $518,914 in specie. The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Capt. Nye, which sailed hence on the Ist, arrived at New York at 2 p.m. on the 12th instant. The screw-steamer City of Manchester sailed from Phi ladelphia for this port on the 11th, with 160 passengers and £20,000 in specie. The steamer Texas had arrived at New Orleans from Vera Cruz with £126,000 in specie. The steamer Illinois had arrived at New York from San Francisco with $1,111,300 in gold dust. The latest accounts from Washington state that Mr. Buchanan was expected to leave for London next month. Mr. groom had signified to the President his acceptance of the mission to Prussia. One hundred and thirty-nine of the rescued passengers from the William and Mary had arrived at New Orleans in a destitute condition. A fire had occurred at New York, on the 12th, in the vicinity of the Atlantic Dock, involving a loss of $300,000. The trial of Captain Ma loney, of the ship Roscius, for the murder of a seaman on the high seas, had terminated in a verdict of acquittal. It is stated that the Navy Department at Washington de sign to institute a professorship of dancing in the Naval Academy, at Washington, that accomplishment being looked upon abroad as essential to the interchange of civilities. The celebrated. Californian ship Sovereign of the Seas was on the berth for this port, and would sail as soon as hands could be got to man her. The Gavazzi excitement still contiuued at Montreal. On the 12th a mob demolished all the windows of St. Stephen's Church, situate in the suburbs. Three more of those who were wounded at the time of the attack had died. It was reported that Gavazzi was to return on the 15th. and conclude his lectures. Accounts from the city of Mexico to the 4th instant re present that country in a deplorable state. Conflicts were daily taking place between the soldiers of the garrisons, police-agents, and citizens. A body of sixty robbers had entered the town of Lagos, liberated the prisoners, 250 in number, and carried away property to the value of $30,000 or $40,000. The inhabitants, numbering 8,000, made no resistance. Sixty deaths by vomit° were reported at Vera Cruz on the ith. The new tariff of Santa Anna was said to be higher than that of Isls, and was expected to prove very unsatisfactory. Cotton goods are in future to pay G cents per yard. The tobacco monopoly was to he taken from private hand, and administered by the government.

Leading paper discounts readily at seven per cent. Notwithstand ing this favourable feature, the stock market continues, generally, quite inanimate. Foreign exchanges are rather dull.

MADAME SONTAG, it is said, will retire to private life after the completion of her American tour, having realized about =8'60,000 in the United States, and, during the same time, distributed , 8`6,000 in private charities. A BOMBAY PAPER says that three European children, who are supposed to be the survivors of the crew of some wrecked ship, have been seen at the Nicobar Islands by the crew of the ship Colonel Burney. RuovrstoNs IN GERMANY.—Letters from all parts complain of the high price of provisions, which they at tribute to the large and increasing demand for the English markets. Two STALKS GF Corrox, twelve feet high, and one of them producing 403 bolls, were picked up the other day in Madison county, Miss., U.S. They are to be shown at the World's Fair, as the New York exhibition that is to be is called. As AMERICAN BAPTIST PREACHER, Washington Carroway, fifty years old, in a city of Hyde County, U.S., has shot a man named Lassiter, who had interfered to prevent Carroway's wife being murdered by her infuriated husband a few days previously. HUMAN BODIES have been found in certain caves in the state of Tennessee, U.S.. with the lower limbs dislocated at the knee joints. In Kentucky similar remains were found 40 years ago. It is supposed to have been the general practice of the people in bygone ages, whoever they were. A NEW GOLD FIELD.—A new gold field is about to be made known. The Mercurio of Valparaiso, of the 19th April, contains an interesting article on recent gold dis coveries in the Peruvian territory. The territory is in the hands of the Chuncho Indians. It is considered that these regions will surpass in wealth the gold fields of Australia and California. A " MEDIUM" IN AMERICA.—it is related that Mrs. Sarah Tamlin, of Auburn, U.S., was an excellent " medium" for a couple of years ; but, after her accouche ment, she ceased to hear the sounds ! But they attended and followed her infant. A Professor Miller called when the child was C, months old, and it is said got an inter. view, through the baby, with La Place, and thus solved several mathematical problems. Bah HIRAM SANDERS, of Ashippum, Dodge County, Wis consin, U.S., is supposed to have murdered in cold blood a youth named Edwin Banda, from Oswego, who, against his will, was courting the daughter of Sanders. Sanders is in gaol, awaiting his trial. Poor Bunda went to invite his lover to a ball, and he was never seen to return from the house, nor has he been seen since. THEBLASPIIEMY which hangs upon the tongue of many American speakers is truly horrible. At the Abolition Convention, in Boston, some days ago, Mr. Henry C. Wright said he was " An atheist in anything which sanc tioned slavery." " I would put my heel," he continued, " upon any government which sanctioned slavery. If God sanctioned slavery I would put my heel upon him. Yes, I would refuse to obey such a God. IF would put such a God upon the auction block, and sell him like a beast." ANTI-SLAVERY IN FRANCE.—A Paris correspondent states that as Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was driving out the other day with her host, (the well-known advocate, Jules Favre,) and hostess, the gentleman was suddenly arrested by the police, and all persons subsequently com ing to see him at his house are watched and taken into custody. The protestant journal, the Lien, also an nounces that Uncle Tom's Cabin has been placed in the index of forbidden books. FIRE IN THE WOODS.—An extensive fire has been raging in the woods on the Ottawa River, north of By town, Canada. A district sixty miles in length and forty broad has been desolated, and fences, bridges, houses, and mills been consumed, and cattle and flocks, and even human lives, been destroyed. Very many sawmills and gristmills have been burnt, and about two hundred fami lies have been rendered houseless. A heavy rain stopped the fire. A DREADFUL FIRE occurred on Thursday at Batig. nolles, at the entrepdt of the Rouen Railway. So rapid was its progress, that out of forty-seven horses in the stables, thirty-eight perished in the flames, and the shrieks of agony and struggles of the poor fettered animals are said to have been almost as afflicting as though they had been human beings. Twelve hundred pipes of wine and a prodigious quantity of brandy and other merchan dise, were consumed by this occurrence. INDIAN POSTAGE.—A secret worth knowing 1 How to avail yourselves of the cheap book postage in India. If you send a half-pound book from Calcutta to Lahore by " dawk banghy," under the most liberal Indian rules it will cost you in the conveyance 13 annas. If money is a greater object with you than time, send your book to a friend in England, Scotland, or Ireland, at the charge of four annas, and let him re-direct it to Lahore, whither it will go for four annas more. Thus the book is carried some 12,000 miles for eight annas, and you save five annas by the process.—Hurkaru. CLERICAL LONGEVITY. The Hampshire (Man.) Gazette gives the following instances of clerical and family longevity :—Rev. Solomon Williams, father of Hon. Eliphalet Williams, of Northampton, preached his half century sermon in Northampton ; Hon. Eliphalet Williams' grandfather preached his half century sermon in East Hartford, Conn. ; Rev. Solomon Williams, great grandfather, preached his half century sermon in Leba non, Conn.; and Rev. William Williams, great-great grandfather, preached his half century sermon in Hat field, Mass. ACQUISITION OF AN INDIAN COTTON DISTRICT.—The Nizain has decided upon ceding to the British Govern ment the territory which it demanded of him in lieu of his debt and stipulated annual payment to the contingent. The terms of the agreement are certainly favourable to his highness. In consideration of a revenue of a 6. lacs of rupees (£360,000,.) being given up, the English govern ment foregoes the entire debt due by the Nizam, and re. mits an annual payment of 4.0 lacs (£400,000). The newly ceded district (Berar) is a continuation of the valley of Kandeish ; it immediately adjoins the company's collect orates of Kandeish and Ahmednugger, ,mod is the richest cotton district in India. UNCLE TOMITEDES.—So far, says the Albany Even ing Paper, as the condition of American slaves and the hopes of American emancipation are concerned, nothing could be more unfortunate and ill-timed than Mrs. Stowe.'s visit to England. Her book was quietly but surely working out a mighty moral and social change on the slavery question all over the world. But the Euro pean visit will create and stimulate counteracting in fluences. The English nobility, press, and people will utter and publish so much that is arrogant and offensive, that an American sentiment against British interference will be aroused and united. We may not like slavery, and our course in respect to slavery may be wrong ; but England has no right either to lecture or reproach us. Our slavery is an inheritance. We received it from England. We have struggled hard for emancipation. One-half of the states of the Union are free. But if we are to hope for anything more, Englishmen must let us alone. Our people, however ill we use the red and the black races, will not brook reproof from a nation that intro duced slavery here, and has deluged, and is deluging a large portion of the world in blood to subject Todia to a bondage worn thut ov.r emery: THE WONDERS OF TABLE MOVING. A son of Professor Carus, private physician to the King of Saxony, has recently instituted a course of experiments in relation to the movement of tables by animal electricity —or by whatever power it may be—some notice of which has appeared in the journals of Germany, accompanied by a certificate to the facts allesed from the pen of tne elder Carus. The experiments o f the younger Car us have led him to construct a table i n thi s manner: —Th e table is round, of common soft wo o d, a b o ut three feet is diameter, and has an opening i n th e cen t re of the uncle a r side, which enables it to rest upon a pill ar o f glass, sore, _ 21 feet high, and turn upon it fr ee ly.

T l l experiment with this apparatus i s p er f orme d by severa l persons, three, four or five sitting round, laying hands upon the table, so that the little fingers of ear person shall be upon or beneath those of his neighbour °,". either side. Now on moving all the little fingers simu: taneously for a space of three to five minutes, the tablet begins to turn on its pedestal, as upon an axis. A m ost curious fact in this experiment is, that the motion 1 _ either to the right or to the left, according as the right_.?,! left fingers are shove or below. In this manner, says " el Carus, the experiment comes into the circle Of The science, and is a worthy subject for investigation. I', elder Carus shows the evident relation existing betwee' this new discovery and certain experiments in mov ing copper wheels and plates, which are familiar to the st n ' dents of electro-magnetism. In Prussia divers singular experiments have been wa de ' At Heidelberg the whole , t faculty of juri s t s " operate d ! and in eight minutes set a nu t woo d ta bl e on t h e twirl! and this b 0 rapidly that the gentlemen of the bar becao l ' giddy in their efforts to follow the movement.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the tr B 4 i, began to move rapidly, and at the de s i re o f the exP; 0 11 menters, travelled from one room to another. A or mahogany stand was next tried, with still greater slice d i, as it marched towards any one it was.wished, or in alli e fr, rection. One of the experimenters. was a d aug hter of ' er e Gillow, aged 12 years, who desired all the others to re' o ' ll t from the table, which she immediately got to march of the room into the lobby,. and then, st e p by step, urge very numerous flight of stairs, along the landing ae co t top, and finally into the drawing-room. This experiTeeti she has repeated several ti mes t hi s week. We wa'''-tie her movements very narrowly, as the table was taltenber the stairs, and noti ce d th at she only touched it with thumbs and little fingers. PREMATURE BALDNES&—Mr. J.

Excess in receipts down to 223,000, and in export to Great Britain 31,000. We do not alter our quotations last advised, as, although nominal for all grades below good middling,' they are still the rates at which cotton is firmly held and sparingly offered. To sell, however, in quantity, holders would be compelled to concede lc. from the ruling quota tions, while an advance of per Asia, next due, would renew the demand and reestablish the market." BREADSTUFFS.—With moderate receipts we have had a steady market for flour, and rather higher rates have been paid. In skipping qualities, the advance amounts to 6.-1-c. per barrel. - Wheat continues in demand, and the price tends upwards. Indian corn is without material change in value. PROVISIONS.—Owing to temporary light receipts of western pork, prices of mess have advanced IV,c., but the other descriptions have not varied ; there is, however, a fair demand. Beef has been in better request, part for export to Liverpool, and though still plenty, prices of the better grades have improved 12.1 c. to 25e. SALT.—An invoice of 50-i sacks Bromilow's Liverpool fine, just received, has been sold at 44c., 4 mos. The other parcels Liverpool arrived were sold previously. \AI: - Ar.

The day's sales have been 2,000 bales, at previous rates. The stock in this port is now 112,000 bales. Tobacco : 700 hhds. have been sold at a decline of gc. from the highest point. Sterling exchange is dull. Freights to Liverpool are quoted at Ad. per lb. for cotton. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. By the 'United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, Capt. Woft, we have advices from New York to the 11th inst. She brought 207 passengers, and 306,853 dollars in specie. Her Majesty's frigate Leander arrived at New York on the 10th, from Plymouth, with Lord Ellesmere and suite on board. The Illinois sailed from San Francisco on the 16th, with 5'1,600,000 in gold dust. Dreadful riots had occurred at Quebec and Montreal, on the occasion of Father Gavazzi's lectures. He lec tured on the 6th at Quebec, and many persons were injured by the mob. Father Gavazzi was himself thrown out of the pulpit, and received a severe cut on the head, and another on the face. On the 9th he gave a lecture at Montreal. The Romanist portion of the community became furious, the military were called out, and were ordered to fire on the mob, when seven persons were killed, six mortally injured, and ten severely wounded. Telegraphic accounts state that there was great excite ment at Montreal on the 10th. The steamers El Dorado and Prometheus had arrived at New York from Sin Francisco, the former with , 8'638,792, and the latter with -8'500,000 in gold dust.
