WINTER QUARTERS FOR THE ARMY.

From Baidar and the heights above, the troops, with the
exception of the Division Autemarre, and the strong Brigade
Jamin, lately arrived, have been withdrawn. One of the
greatest difficulties which opposed itself to the permanent en-
campment of such a large body of troops as has been kept
there hitherto is the difficulty of providing them provisions at
such a distance. As it was, the greater part of the means of
transport had to be employed on that side ; and this was the
case while we had an uninterrupted course of the most beauti-
ful autumn weather, and while the country itself offered at
least some resources, such as forage, principally hay, and fresh
meat. The first rains will double the distance of the road;
and at the same time the exhausted country has long ceased
to yield anything except firewood and water. Under these
circumstances, it would have been impossible to keep there in
winter the same body of men, and, as the position is of no
practical importance for the security of our line, it would have
been exposing the soldiers needlessly to the chances of suffer-
ing from the irregularity of communication, which with -the
greatest caution could scarcely be avoided on such a long line.
Thus the Tchernaya line in its whole length will form our
real position during the winter, for since the greater number
of troops have been withdrawn from the heights the occupation
of the latter must be considered as a line of outposts, from
which, in case of a serious attack, the troops would have to
fall back to their positions in the valley. On the rest of our
line there is nothing new. The firing from both sides of the
harbour continues in the usual way, reminding one of those
intervals of the siege between the bombardments during
which the guns seemed to go off by habit rather than from any
intention on the part of the gunners.
DEPARTURE OF SIR COLIN CAMPBELL.

As you will see from the general orders, Sir Colin Campbell
has embarked for England, and General Cameron is now com-
manding the Highland Division. The band of the latter
seem to be inclined to profit by the close neighbourhood of
the musical Sardinians, and every Sunday the band of the
92d joins the Sardinians, and plays for some hours during the
afternoon.

inherent virtue. Scarcely a phase of human
society—hardly a social incident connected with
the lot of man but is treated of or glanced at in
this " magic mirror ;" but all of them are treated
of in relation to that world which lies beyond our
own, and amidst even the most hilarious of out-
bursts there is an index which clearly points to
the mysterious workings of that
•-
Providence which fashions all our ends,
Rough hew them how we will.
In the curious compound of vanity, egotism, and
shrewdness of the Shepherd ; the sententious
perspicacity of Tickler; and the staid and Mentor-
like philosophy of Christopher North, there is
not merely a fine preservation of the dramatic
identity peculiar to each, but there is also the
most unmistakeable evidence of that innate sense
of responsibility which, while it displayed his
sympathy with his fellow-men, his pity for their
misfortunes, his censure of their failings, and his
joyin their virtueand exalted destiny, isnot entirely
absorbed in those their merely earthly concerns.

To these his heart, his love, his griefs were given,
But all his serious thoughts had rest in heaven.
We are, however, insensibly wandering from the
pleasing task before us—presenting to our readers
some idea of the numerous beauties, which,—

Like Orient pearls at random strung,

grace and enliven every page of the volume un-
der consideration, as well as that which has pre-
ceded it and those which are to follow. Take as

MEDICAL ADVICE.
,IpR. FRANKLIN, Member of the Royal College
of Surgeons, of the Faculte de Medecine de Paris, and
Honorary Member of the College of Physicians, Washington, and
author of several medical works, may be consulted daily on all
Diseases, Nervous Debility, Btc. at his residence, No. 4,
FRANCIS-STREET, GOLDEN-SQUARE, LONDON.
Dr. FRANKLIN is one of the very few legally qualified physi-
cians who have directed attention to these diseases; from long
practical observation of the treatment pursued in the most cele-
brated institutions of this country and the continent, has had,
perhaps, unusual opportunities of witnessing the various pecu-
liarities relating to the disorders; and having for a number a
years devoted his studies almost exclusively to this class of com-
plaints, he is enabled confidently to undertake their removal in as
short a time as is consistent with safety. Dr. F., to distinguish
himself from non-qualified men, refers to his qualifications as
;above, and he earnestly cautions the public against a host of
gnorant pretenders and rapacious Jew quacks, who infest the
arious seaports, and to make strict inquiry before risking life,
&c., in the hands of such empirics. A list of pretenders in Liver-
pool sent on application.
Persons at a distance will be minute in the detail of their cases;
and no letters from strangers will be replied to unless they con-
tain by Post-office order or otherwise, when Advice and Medi-
cines will be sent securely packed from observation or accident.

prices show a decline of about 2s. per cwt. from the
highest point, but quotations have not been altered,
owing to tJae irregularity of the market. For Coffee
only a moderate demand. The Tea market generally

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 23.—1 n the absence of any information as
to the result of the government provision contract the market for
beef is very quiet, but the light stock gives confidence to holders.
Pork has also been sparingly dealt in, prices remaining un-
changed. American bacon Is much wanted. Lard on the spot
is scarce, and an advance of Is to 2s per cwt. has been made for
small quantities. The demand for cheese continues inactive, but
holders do not press sales.
Nov. 26.—There was a fair amount of business transacted in
butter last week, at an advance of Is. per cwt., and in consequence
of the continued high rates paying in Ireland, and the sanguine
expectations of the shippers there, caused holders here to evince
great firmness at the improvement, and the market closed with
a healthy appearance. Waterford and Dungarvan, 106 s to 110 s;
Carrick, Carlow, and Wexford, 104 s to 109 s ; Limerick, 98s to
102 s; and Sligo, 96s to 104 s per cwt. landed. Imported from

THE distinguishing characteristic of Du BARRY'S REvA-
LENTA ARABICA FooD is succinctly described by one of the suf-
ferers who have been relieved by it, as having "done all that me-
dicine failed to effect." It affords a perfect cure in the most in-
veterate and distressing cases of disease connected with the nerves,
stomach, liver, kidneys, and intestines, as exhibited in an innu-
merable variety of malignant forms. The list of those who have
taken the trouble to acknowledge personally thebenefits they have
derived from the Food now considerably exceeds FIFTY THOU-
SAND, and includes persons of all classes, from the peer to the
artisan. At no epoch in the history of humanity has such a mass
of indisputable, incontrovertible evidence been brought to bear
upon a topic involving the most momentous consequences to the
well-being of all. For further particulars we refer our readers
to Messrs. Du Barry's advertisement in our to-day's columns.

ing to the public the Strongest Safeguards against Fire, Robbery,
or Violence extant, at the lowest prices consistent with the most
perfect efficiency and security.
CAUTlON.—Milners' Holdfast Safes are of three qualities—
the cheapest superior to any other safes—and range under three
Lists, namely, Milners' Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No.
2, at lOs. per foot; Milners' Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting
Safe, List No. 3, at 15s. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong
Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 4, at 2.05. per foot. The
public are deceived by comparisons being made between the
prices of the hitter superb class of Milners' Safes and the inferior
articles offered by incompetent makers to booksellers, ironmon-
gers, brokers, or any others who will incur the serious responsibi-
lity of selling them, which are really worthless articles, and dear
at any price. What greater delusion than an unsafe Safe?

manner.:—Small strips of gold were cut to the depth
the enamel was intended to be inlaid, and were coiled
into forms of flowers, animals, &c. ; then soldered into
their respective places. A preparation of silex with
oxide of lead fused together, and coloured with oxide
of gold, silver, iron, &c., according to the tint required,
being ground to a powder, the interstices were filled
with these colours, and under a strong heat fused :
the whole was then ground down, exhibiting the
various hues requisite in the subjects, and defined by
the fine line of gold. Frequently small portions of
stone were let in in addition to the enamel : among
others, .a choice example, protected by a thick crystal,
occurs in Alfred's jewel in the museum at Oxford.
Champ-leve enamel, which succeeded the previous,
was treated differently, and afforded a greater variety
of capabilities, from the fact that a subject being
traced upon the metal (generally copper), the ground-
work was carved out with small tools, leaving more or
less of the metal standing, according to the develop-
ment required : the ground was then filled with
powdered enamel, which, being fused, was subse-
quently ground off, polished and gilt. Another mode
consisted of the surface being engraved or chased, in
incised patterns, as before, filled with the various
opaque enamels, and among these some peculiar
colours, which are only just being revived. And
where spaces had been previously left, having the
outline form of the figure preserved, a subject in low
relief was attached on the surface of the metal. It
is here that a large field is opened to the artistic
efforts of the present day, where surfaces require en-
richment.—The Builder.

bottles, and it is ready for use. It must be stirred
frequently while it is making, and kept near the fire.
Before using shake the bottle well up. It will keep
in a cool place for two months, and is best at the
latter part of the time. The beauty of this yeast is
that it ferments spontaneously, not requiring the aid
of other yeast ; and, if care be taken to let it fer-
ment well in the earthen bowl in which it is made,
you. may cork it up tight when bottled.

THE ROADS.

The net of roads, with which the whole country about here
is gradually being covered, extends every day further. The
Quartermaster-General's officers seem to be' insatiable, and
new traces are visible in every direction. On Friday next the
great road from Balaklava will be opened for traffic, but it
will only be the beginning of the rains which will induce
people to use it; for as long as the roads across the country
are dry and passable, every one will avoid the sharp stones on
the newly-laid roads, and leave to his neighbour the merit of
completing the process of macadamising. The French also
are repairing their roads of last year, which had nearly disap-
peared during the summer ; besides, the main road from
Kamiesch, having been hastily constructed, requires to be
remade.
