NEW LABEL.

TN consequence of the great variety of counterfeit
IN
Labels of A. ROWLAND and SONS' MACASSAR OIL, now
in circulation, and which so nearly resemble the original as fre-
quently to deceive the unwary—they have employed those emi-
nent artists Messrs. PERKINS, BACON, and Co., who, at great
cost, and by a peculiar process of their own, have succeeded in
producing from steel " A NEW LABEL," which cannot be forged.
It is composed of a section of an engine-turned circle, repeated
one hundred and thirty times—and forms an original lace-work
ground, upon which is engraved in white letters, " Under the
Patronage of the Courts of Europe," with an embossed profile
of her Majesty "THE QUEEN," lately specially taken for the
purpose, and which surmounts the words (also in white letters)
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL,
for the Growth, Restoration, and for Beautifying the Human
Hair. Under which is the Signature of the Proprietors in Red
Ink, A. ROWLAND and SONS. The whole, with the exception
of the Profile, being covered with a lacework pattern, in trans-
parent colourless ink.
This celebrated Oil is universally in high repute. It prevents
hair from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair
—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff—and makes it beautifully
soft, curly, and glossy. In the growth of the Beard, Whiskers,
and Mustachios, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For
Children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a
beautiful head of hair. Price 3s. Gd. and 75.; Family Bottles
(equal to four small), lOs. 6d.; and double that size, 21s.
ROWLANDS' KALYDOR,
an Oriental Botanical preparation for improving and beautifying
the Complexion, eradicates Cutaneous Defects and Discolorations,
and renders the Skin soft, fair, and blooming. Price 4s. Gd. and
Bs. 6d. per bottle.
ROWLANDS' ODONTO, OR PEARL DENTIFRICE,
Compounded of the choicest and most recherche ingredients of
the Oriental Herbal, it is of inestimable value in Preserving and
Beautifying the Teeth, strengthening the Gums, and in ren-
dering the Breath sweet and pure. Price 28. 9d. per box.

The following is one of those cases arising from a disordered state
of the functions, which affect the whole system, and bring on some
of the most distressing sufferings. This lady has suffered more
or less for ten years, and has now entirely recovered by the use of
Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla. " Berkeley-square, Jan. 15, 1853.
" Messrs. Pomeroy and Co.—l have used your Dr. Townsend's
Sarsaparilla for sick headache and general debility, arising from
a disordered state of my System, and am happy to inform you
that it has completely restored me to former health and strength.
I experience a degree of comfort, buoyancy of spirits, and renewed
strength, which I have not known for ten years. This great benefit
alone induces me to write an acknowledgment. Disliking my
name in full to go before the public,' give my initials only.

EXTRAORDINARY CURE I

The daughter of James Hißage, of Vronheulog, Llanfihangel„
six miles from Llan fyll in, Carmarthenshire, was afflicted for along
time with general debility, suffering from sick headachoplangour,
vomiting, sinking at t4e pit of the stomach, and the thousand and
one other evils of a generally deranged system. She was under
medical treatment for a long time, but unfortunately was not be-
nefited thereby—and every other remedy failed. The father then
put her through a course of Holloway's Pills, and after perse-
vering for a short time according to the directions, the bloom of
health again appeared upon her countenance, and she was com-
pletely cured, to the astonishment of all who knew her.

following diseases :,--

HOME.

BID all of kindly impulse now combine,
And deep with wholesome thought the mind imbue;
While sleeps the spirit that would else repine,
Let strong affection's healthy pulse flow true.
Tell but of Home, and straight the simple word
Reaches the heart bereft of all its ties,
Gathering its mem'ries there, that-give record
Of early loves and household sympathies.
Sad is his fate and bare of fortune's meed,
From whom each homely link is rudely torn ;
His breast hard heaving oft, too prone to bleed,
And feels forgotten, slighted, and forlorn.
The doomed exile, with fitful fleeting breath,
While fast expires the last faint gleam of life,
In soul-affrighted trembling strives with death,
And friends, afar, reck not how dire the strife.
The sickened one, to land, to native, strange,
His hope but little and his comfort less,
In fevered visions play-day haunts will range,
And wake reluctant, mocked by dreamed caress.
The needy wanderer, prey to black despair,
Scarce curbs the tear his pent-up anguish wrings ;
While ills unnumbered steep his soul in care,
And thought of home some keen-felt mem'ry brings.

Pity his secret throe, his silent tear,
His gnawing want—but worse—his loneliness;
Without one kindly look or voice to cheer,
The passing stranger scans his deep distress.
E'en yonder bacchanal at foreign boards,
While the full wine•cup he prepares to quaff,
Loathes the unhomely scenes that place affords,
And drains the goblet with discordant laugh.
The stranger bird that flutt'ring seeks to rest,
Where feathered tribes are fearful of its kind,
Heaves its small heart and mourns its native nest,
Which, long storm-driven, it no more may find.

Less love where first it grew may only thrive,
Will slowly wither if too long estranged;
But love of Home, heart-sheltered, will derive
Nurture increasing as its clime is changed.
It still will follow with undying light
How or where'er the wanderer wends his way;
Tho' fate may darken into blackest night,
Or fortune, smiling, beam propitious ray.

May glowing gratitude his breast inspire,
Who 'gainst the ills of exile never strove;
Ne'er hid the agony of strong desire
That fills his heart who must despairing rove.

EXPECTED ATTACK ON ERZEROUM.

defence of the latter place, where 20,000 men are now con-

General. Williams has set out for ;Gamy, where he will re-
main a prisoner.

The Morning Post, in a leader headed, "Is there to be
peace or war next spring ? " discusses the questions likely to
be brought under consideration. It confesses it can see for
Eussia no such hope in the future as to lead it to think she
is not seriously earnest in her wish for peace on any terms
that Europe may recognise as not unrea,onable. If the Allies
do not suspend their preparations, she ha, uo resource. Jut I to

ARREST OF A GREEK SPY.

JAR. Greek has been for three days in confinement at
head-quarters on strong suspicions of being a spy. He was
sent away from Karanyi last August, and warned not to come
back. He lately returned to the Crimea with a French pass-
port, but instead of remaining in the French lines, went to
Karanyi. He is to receive 25 lashes, and be sent home to his
own country, with due dotice that if he shows himself here
again he will be hung.

Last price of Console yesterday, 911 for Money and 911 1
for February 7th, and 92 to for March 11th. The opera-
tions of the day were to a fair extent, but money was scarce,
and loans on stock were in demand at 6 per cent. The belief
in peace continues to gain strength, and in well-informed
quarters there is an impression it will be concluded before
Taster.
About £200,000 of the gold brought by the Champion of
the Seas has been taken to the Bank of England. The re.
ataining £300,000, it is presumed, will all be sent to Paris 14
Course of the week.

The Cabinet Council sat two hours yesterday.
The Morning Advertiser received last night from a variety
of quarters, some of them usually well informed, a report to
the effect that it is intended to propose the adjournment of
the House for a fortnight after the Address to Her Majesty
has been carried. The ground for so doing, it is added, is
that, were Parliament sitting, questions might be put to
3linisters which would interfere with the peace negociatione
at Paris.

The steamer Belgique remains at Southampton, her con-
dition is most lamentable ; she is so badly built that her
keeping afloat so long is a matter of surprise. The passengers
are in an un fortunate position, and can obtain no redress fat
their detention.

EASTERN COUNTERS RAILWAY.—There will be a majority
of from five to six thousand votes, representing about £600,000,
in favour of the amendment upon the resolution moved in
behalf of the committee of investigation.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1856-01-29

THE WAR.

Intelligence from the seat of war in the Crimea continues
rather to indicate the peace evolutions and the style of pastime
adopted by our soldiers and their gallant allies, than to con-
vey information of a warlike cast. So far as can be gathered
from the communications of the London journals' correspon-
dents, and also from the official despatches, the armies appear
to be in the enjoyment of good health, and to be disposed, as
far as possible, to make the most of the respite which has
been allowed them. The weather has been severe, but not
such as to cause any of the fearful sufferings and disasters
with which the correspondence of this time twelve months
was so harrowingly filled.
The correspondent of the Times, writing from the camp
before Sebastopol, on the 4th of January, says, in reference to
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1856-01-29

THE WAR.

Letters from the Crimea to the 15th instant have arrived.
The demolition of the docks proceeds. 8,000 lbs. of powder
were employed in one explosion. The result was very satis-
factory. The • Russian batteries were silent. The weather
was variable.
Letters• from Kertch to the Bth inst. contain nothing of
Importance. The ice had begun to break up, and the
thaw would prevent a Russian attack.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1856-01-29

LITERATURE.

The Englishwoman in Ameri ca. London: John Murray.
To judge by the announcements of our leading
bibliopoles, our fair countrywomen appear not only to
share in the truly English passion for seeing every
person, place, and thing, which cannot be approached
except through difficulty • but they seem also beset
by an ardent desire to make the most of their oppor-
tunities, and to chronicle their observations, and freely
to disseminate the result of their deductions. One
thing, however, tells in their favour, and secures for
their narratives of experience a hearty welcome ; that
is, the general liveliness and naive intelligence of
their remarks. The general absence of prosy deduc-
tions, and the vigour and variety of their pictures,
constitute the leading charms which woo and win the
attention, and ensure the approbation of the reader.
Among the shoal of books which have lately sweltered
from the press, on the all-absorbing topics of Russian
physical, social, and moral resources, no one has had
a more extensive or deserved popularity than the able
work published under the designation of " The En-
glishwoman in Russia ;" and in the instance now
under consideration, "The Englishwoman in America,"
who somewhat unnecessarily tells us she is not " The
Englishwoman in Russia," furnishes the reading
public with numerous well-told and eminently in-
structive illustrations of American manners, morals,
and habits. She pretends not to great depth of moral
penetration, but nevertheless evinces much shrewd-
ness of observation, a happy knack of noting passing
events, and the good sense to avoid making herself
the heroine of her own tales. Her illustrative anec-
dotes are happily introduced without didactic for-
mality, and their meaning inferences are suggested
through the action of the scene or event rather than
formally deduced, or ostentatiously displayed before
the reader. In short, she proves herself to be an
intelligent and observing traveller, as well as an
agreeable companion. True, her pictures of American
social life are not so thoroughly rose-coloured as
brother Jonathan himself might have desired ; but
they bear the impress of truth, and a perfect absence
of malice.

So shrewd an observer of manners and morals as
the " Englishwoman" was not likely to omit a remark
or two on so important a matter as the vaunted tem-
perance movement in some, if not in all, of the States.
If her information is to be relied on, the honest
adherent to the free movement of social temperance
may be put to considerable inconvenience, while less
scrupulous observers of the law, even in Maine, may
have their appetites gratified on comparatively easy
terms. An accident reduced our fair traveller to a
condition in which the application of alcoholic stimuli
would have been rather more than merely agreeable,
and in which many sober people would have looked
on them as indispensable ; but the " Englishwoman"
was in Maine, and thus narrates her

THE APPROACHING CONFERENCES.

The Morning Post says :—We are enabled to state that a
protocol will be signed almost immediately, at Vienna, by the
representatives of England, France, Austria, and Russia, re-
cording the fact of the acceptance of the Austrian ilioposals
by the Cabinet of Russia, and fixing a date for the opening of
conferences upon the basis of those proposals. The conference
will take place in about three weeks from this time, at Paris,
which capital was simultaneously proposed as the seat of
negotiations both by England and Russia. Plenipotentiaries
will be immediately appointed by the powers concerned. Lords
Clarendon and Cowley will represent England. The perfect
accord which exists between France and England on the im-
portant and vital questions to be submitted to those confer-
ences makes it certain that they will be opened under the most
favourable auspices, and we trust they may issue in the hap-
piest results.

LONDON, Monday Night.
A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office this

afternoon.
THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

The Paris correspondent of the Post writes, on Sunday, at
six, p.m. :—I believe, up to the present moment, Count Buol
has not obtained the Russian signature to all the demands
which the Cabinets of England and France have thought
proper to signify before opening negotiations.
The Times' Paris letters, of Sunday, contain no later news.

DYSPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAINTS.

Nearly half the human race have taken these Pills. It has been
proved in ail parts of the world, that nothing has been found equal
to them in cases of disorders of the ►iver, dyspepsia, and stomach
complaints generally. They soon give a healthy tone to those
organs, however much deranged, and when all other means have
failed.

tendent Bourne immediately despatched, under the direction
of Inspector Davies, a force of officers to the scene of action,
and a large sledge hammer having been obtained, Mr. Gleave
broke in the front door and took possession of the premises.
In the affray the constable was struck by the prisoner with a
shutter. Smith, finding that he could not succeed against
the besiegers, retreated to an attic, access to which was ob.
tained by a ladder. Of this place he was determined to hold
possession, and wielding over the heads of the besiegers a
hammer and an axe, swore he would decapitate the first man
who ventured on the ladder. The officers, finding they could
not apprehend the prisoner, at once cut away the ceiling from
under him. Smith then cried to the officers to take care of
his children, which was the first intimation they had that
there were other persons in the attic. He was then obliged
to surrender, after a desperate resistance, and was lodged in
bridewell.—The bench ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of
ss. and costs.

CATTLE.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 28.—We had a dull unsatisfactory market
to-day both for beef and mutton, the better descriptions of each
sold at nearly former prices, whilst no regular quotation can be
made for inferior stock. A clearance could not be effected.
Number of beasts, 2,191 ; sheep, 8,614.

sales, but not so high as last week. Good sheep scarce and dearer.
No change in other qualities. Veal steady. A good demand for
pigs, and for heavy higher prices given. Beef, in sink, 45s to

HOME.

BID all of kindly impulse now combine,
And deep with wholesome thought the mind imbue;
While sleeps the spirit that would else repine,
Let strong affection's healthy pulse flow true.
Tell but of Home, and straight the simple word
Reaches the heart bereft of all its ties,
Gathering its mem'ries there, that give record
Of early loves and household sympathies.
Sad is his fate and bare of fortune's meed,
From whom each homely link is rudely torn ;
His breast hard heaving oft, too prone to bleed,
And feels forgotten, slighted, and forlorn.
The doomed exile, with fitful fleeting breath,
While fast expires the last faint gleam of life,
In soul-affrighted trembling strives with death,
And friends, afar, reck not how dire the strife.

The sickened one, to land, to native, strange,
His hope but little and his comfort less,
In, fevered visions play-day haunts will range,
And wake reluctant, mocked by dreamed caress.
The needy wanderer, prey to black despair,
Scarce curbs the tear his pent-up anguish wrings ;
While ills unnumbered steep his soul in care,
And thought of home some keen-felt mem'ry brings.

Pity his secret throe, his silent tear,
His gnawing want—but worse—his loneliness;
Without one kindly look or voice to cheer,
The passing stranger scans his deep distress.
E'en yonder bacchanal at foreign boards,
While the full wine-cup he prepares to quaff,
Loathes the unhomely scenes that place affords,
And drains the goblet with discordant laugh.
The stranger bird that flutt'ring seeks to rest,
Where feathered tribes are fearful of its kind,
Heaves its small heart and mourns its native nest,
Which, long storm-driven, it no more may find.

Less love where first it grew may only thrive,
Will slowly wither if too long estranged;
But love of Home, heart-sheltered, will derive
Nurture increasing as its clime is changed.
It still will follow with undying light
How or where'er the wanderer wends his way;
Tho' fate may darken into blackest night,
Or fortune, smiling, beam propitious ray.
May glowing gratitude his breast inspire,
Who 'gainst the ills of exile never strove;
Ne'er hid the agony of strong desire
That fills his heart who must despairing rove.
