CONSUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLE.
-"I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound
and Aniseed (as prepared by Xr. Martin, of 22, Copperas-
hill' Lirerpoold will prove of more value, in cases of bron-
chitis and incipient consumption, than any • other remedy
extant. It relieves the most irritating cough in a few minutes ;
and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces
sound and refreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and
restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above
all other medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thomson's
_Valeria Hedied, page 17J, vol. 2. The following is from Dr.
Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore-
hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant
and efficient cough remedy, and I-fullragree 'with' Sir Alexan-
der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjune,
tion with sod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy' for con.,
sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. H. Brett, Ph. Dr.,
M.R.C.S, late Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurispru-
dence, Liverpool Royal Infirmary. The balsam of horehound
and aniseed is prepared only by T. Martin, chemist, 22, Cop-
peras-hill, Liverpool ; but, owing to its great and increasing
sale. agents have been appointed in all principal towns and
cities. It can be procured wholesale from Raines and Co.,
Edinburgh and York, from Sutton. and Co., London, West-

New INVENTION.—THL NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.---A greater
annoyande than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with---the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new "fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall
and Co.' is the best We have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writingnib, and this barrel
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean without any chance of being corroded. Another featino
in this pen is, that one clip in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of finest description,- and •
merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will
be found to till a want felt by every one 'up to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, .handed to iis by Mr. E. T. Ball,
' South John-street, and can pronounce it• perfect, and we afe
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour,

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Happily we can still continue to indulge the belief
that neither France nor Austria will intervene in the
campaign now going on in the Pontifical States. France
will not depart from the example which has been shown
by Russia and Prussia. The Emperor's government
feels it necessary to declare that it has not abandoned
either its respect for treaties or its preference for having
the Italian question settled on the basis of the arrange-
ment. of Villafranca. It does not, however, feel called
upon to do more. The Emperor will " continue to
protect at Rome the person and authority of the
Sovereign Pontiff;" and he will also strengthen the
garrison to whom he entrusts that duty; but his inter-
ference in the affairs of Italy will be strictly confined
w.thin these limits. Nothing could be more satisfac-
tory. Nor is it necessary to take alarm at the re-appoint-
ment of General Goyon to the command of the French
troops ; for what can be more natural than that the
Emperor should desire, in the crisis which has occurred
—and which was, no doubt, anticipated—to have the
acvantage of this officer's great experience and acquaint-
ance with the real state of affairs in the Papal Court.
A communication from Turin would have us attribute
marked significance to the arrival there at this juncture,
"1 an Austrian general, accompanied by an aide-de-
camp," and who is " supposed to be charged" with
sone mysterious mission ; and it further said that " a
fo•mal threat of a landing at Ancona is hinted at as soon
as the Piedmontese' troops cross the frontier." But
thre is no doubt that Austria is merely occupied vith
pnviding suitable measures of defence against an attack
inVenetia or elsewhere" which she is certainly fully
jut Ned in anticipating ; and it is quite as reasonable to
suppose that the
.object of tke General Officer's visit to
Ttrin was to demand explanations respecting the inten-
tials of Sardinia, as to give explanations repecting those
of Austria.

Lamoriciere, who seems to have no more than 8,000
mn at his disposal, has fallen back upon Ancona before
tle rapidly advancing. Piedmontese. General Cialdini
hi advanced as far as Fano, a fortified town in Urbino,
wiere he has made some prisoners ; and a second Ser-
bian cores d'arnit,e, Which has just been "mobilised,"
isfhllowing in his steps. It is expected that the lines of
dfence of the Pontifical .army will shortly be attacked
b an overwhelming force of 45,000 men, so that resistance
isutterly hopeless.

There is nothing further from Naples since the Bth ;
ht we learn from the French journals of yesterday,
OA Francis 11. left Gaeta for Spain on Wednesday.
As we anticipated, the rum-Jured tripartite coalition
against France is nothing more nor less than a canard.
Serious disturbances have again broken out at Frank-

fort, among the Federal troops stationed in that free
city. The Austrian and the Frankfort troops attacked
the Prussian soldiers, and shots were fired even in the
crowded streets; nor was any respect shown to the
persons of officers. The Bavarian soldiers alone re-,
mained tranquil. The existing system under which
Frankfort is garrisoned, and which arises mainly from
the jealous feelings entertained towards each other by
the German military Powers, is extremely absurd, and
the present seems to suggest a peculiarly favourable
opportunity for putting an end to it.
Some additional heads of the intelligence brought
brought by the overland mails, will be found in our
telegraphic columns. We now learn, that the attack
on the Taku Forts was likely to be postponed other
ten days, "owing to delays caused by the French,"
which were still affording matter for complaint. Some
further particulars have been received from Calcutta
respecting the melancholy death of Mr. Wilson ; and
it is announced, that a timely fall of rain in
the north-western: districts, has removed all fear
of a famine in those localities.

By the Shannon, which has brought the West India;
and Pacific mails, the- commercial and general intelli-
gende wears a favourable aspect; It is,mentioned that
a contract has been concluded between the Government
of Jamaica and Messrs. Holt, of this town, for a semi-
monthly steam mail between that island and New York
The intelligence received yesterday, from New Zea-
land, shows that the measures taken to arrest the spread
of the native revolt had failed, and that the tribes in the
northern island had determined to abide by the arbitre-
ment of war. Up to the date of the latest advices, they
had been so far successful as to repulse a force sent frolia
Taranaki to cap!ure a pah in the Waitara valley.
This compelled the authorities to take active measures,
and a, force_composed _of regulars and blue jackets
was sent out on the 27th .of June to take the pah.
The pah stood in an angle formed by the confluence of
two ravines or gullies, and consisted of two stockades.
The plan of attack was an assault upon all sides. At
first the appearance of a body in their rear seems to
have shaken the nerves of the defenders; but speedily
recovering, and being amply reinforced from the inland
country, the natives stood their ground, confronted our
troops, outnumbered and outflanked them, and finally
compelled them to retire with the heavy loss of twenty-
nine killed and thirty-three wounded. The officers_
engaged were : —Naval Brigade First Lieutenant
Battiscombe, Midshipman Wadlow, Midshipman Gar-
nett ; j..ienteuant Morris, Royal Marine Artillery.
Royal Engineers—Lieutenant Mould; Royal Artillery_
.—Lieutenant M'Naughten; 40th Regiment—Major
Nelson, Lieutenant Brooke (killed), Lieutenants Dow-
man, Jackson, and Rees, Ensign.and Adjutant Whelan.
The following is an authentic list of the killed and
wounded among the 40th Regiment :'
—Billed—Lieut.
Brooke, Sergeant O'Callaghan; Corporals D. Valley,
S. M'Burney, J. Ryan ; Privates Abrey, Allen,

Maguire (since dead), Murphy, Newman; Plunkett,
Smith, Molton, Burke, O'Brien, Burgess, Tedder, Head,
gogan, Louge, Smith, Tomney. Our soldiers fought
with coolness and courage, and showed the trust they
have in their arms, but it is remarked that the natives
stood a bayonet charge like men, a fact reported as
hitherto without precedent.

"In a little bedroom, crowded with his staff and the
local authorities " (says Mr. Edwin James, in writing
from Salerno on the 6th inst.,) "I had my first inter-
view with the disinterested and brave liberator of Italy,
in his red shirt, in &dirty pair of jean trousers, and
worn-out boots. Combing his long thin hair at the
glass, stood the greatest patriot since Washington. Mr.
Ashley and I were announced. He remained in the
same attitude for-a few minutes, but was evidently
thoughtful. He shook us most cordially by the hand."

The Rev. Lewis Price has at last discovered his run-
away wife at Salisbury. On Wednesday afternoon he
returned with her to Bridgewater, where he arrived at
about half-past six o'clock in the evening, but did not
alight from the train. He and his wife, with Mrs.
Starky, proceeded to Glastonbury, where Mr. Price has
temporarily taken up his abode.
On the.day of the prorogation, an Act was passed to
amend the law concerning the making, keeping, and
carriage of gunpowder and compoidtions of an explosive
nature, and concerning the manufacture, sale, and use of
fireworks. The object of this Act, which will take effect
from the 31st of August next, is to prevent a recur-
rence of the serious accidents which have happened
by the explosion of gunpowder and fireworks.
Numerous provisions have been framed to prevent
accidents, and the regulations are to be enforced under
penalties. "It shall be lawful for the Justices of the
Peace for each county or other division, at their general
Quarter Session, or for the Council of any borough upon
application made to them by any person, from time to
time, to license places for the making of loaded percussion
caps, and for the making and keeping, respectively, of
ammunition, fireworks, fulminating mercury, or other
explosive preparations or compositions, and to determine
the quantities of such articles, respectively, to be kept in
any place so licensed, and to grant licenses to persons
to sell fireworks." No person is to sell, offer, or expose
any fireworks without a license, or to any person appa-
rently under sixteen years of age, under a penalty of
not exceeding £5, and a like penalty is to be enforced
foi throwing any fireworks in or into any thoroughfare.
Owners of mills, &c., may make rules for their servants
and workmen.

The number of bankruptcies gazetted in the present
year is 764, being at the rate of 1,146 per annum.
The annual average of the previous ten years has
been 1,090 ; so that if the present bankruptcy
rate is maintained, the current year will be 56
above the average. Of the 764 bankruptcies gazetted
this year, 372 have occurred in the metropolitan dis-
tricts, 42 in the Liverpool, 38 in the Manchester, 122
in the Birmingham, 70 in the Leeds, 66 in the Bristol,
31 in the Exeter, and 23 in the Newcastle district.
These figures are interesting as far as they go, but they
take no account of the host of cases which are settled by
private arrangement among the creditors concerned.
