FATRACTS FROM
MEDICAL AND Sc lENTIFIC TESTIMONIALS :

"THE LANCET," July 29, 1554.
" In the preference of the light brown over the pale oil we
fully concur. We have carefully tested a specimen of the light
brown cod-liver oil prepared for medical use under the direction
of Dr. de Jongh, and obtained from the wholesale agents, Messrs.
ANSAIt, RARFORD, end C0.,77, Strand. We tlnd it to be genuine,
and rich in lodine and the elements of bile."
"THE MEDICAL CIRCULAR,"
May 10, 1854.
" The pale oil, even when genuine, is deficient to a consider.
able extent, if not wholly, of the volatile fatty acid, iodine, phos-
phate of chalk, the cholinic acid, bilifellinic acid, and other
elements of bile, which are found in their normal proportions in
the light brown oil. The utmost reliance may be placed upon
the experimental researches of Dr. de Jongh, who is one of the
most eminent of European chemists; the oil prepared by him
enjoys also the additional sanction of the opinion of Baron
I.iebig and the late Dr. Pereira, in favour of its genuineness and
efficacy. Our own experience practically confirms their judg-
ment, and we unhesitatingly recommend the light brown oil as
the best for medicinal purposes, and well deserving the couti•
deuce of the profession.

BARON LIEBIG.
" You have rendered an essential service to Science by your
researches, and your efforts to provide sufferers with this Medi•
clue, in its purest and most genuine state, must ensure you tht
gratitude of every one who stands in need of its use."
DR. JONATHAN PEREIRA.
" I know that no one can be better, and few so well, acquainted
with the physical and chemical properties of this medicine as
yourself, whom I regard as the highest authority on the subject.
The oil which you gave me was of the very finest quality. who.
ther considered with reference to its colour, flavour, or chemicar
properties; and lam satisfied that for medicinal purposes no
finer oil can be procured."

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1854.

THE accounts from the Continent are unfa-
vourable. Austria, as we have always warned
the readers of the PRESS, declined to join in
any active co-operation with England and
France. Prince MErrEsHicH observed, a few
days back, that " the solution of the question
" is at Vienna; and that the present is not to
" be looked upon as a state of war, but rather
" of a disorganised diplomacy."

All this means another campaign of proto-
cols ending with the STATUS QUO. We hear
from Vienna that the Cabinet of Lord ABER-
DEEN is on this subject in as thick a fog as
NAPIER in the Baltic.

The ree,al of M. BUNSEN elicits the revela-
tion of fresh scandals. It appears that a
secret agent of the King of PRUSSIA visited
this country at the commencement of the
year, and placed himself immediately in com-
munication with Lord ABERDEEN, who was
well acquainted with him. According to his
custom, Lord ABERDEEN kept these communi-
cations secret from his colleagues, till it be
came advisable that Lord CLARENDON, who
represents the credulity of the Cabinet, should
unconsciously assist in the connivance. Lord
CLARENDON, perplexed and alarthed, whispered
the circumstances to a colleague who was anti-
Russian. The colleague betrayed the affair to
M. BUNSEN, who in a panic telegraphed to
M. MANTEUFFEL, the first Minister of the King
of PRUSSIA. There was a great esclandre.
The affair was hushed up, as such affairs
always are. The secret agent was disavowed,
and privately recalled. Had he remained and
succeeded there would probably have been no
war. The anti-Russian party in the Cabinet
was triumphant. M. BUNSEN walked on tiptoe
and drew up plans of a new territorial arrange-
ment, and Lord ABERDEEN remained irritable
and moody. The Prussian Plenipotentiary,
however, received in due time his reward, and
M. BUNSEN'S very fine collection of bronzes is
now for sale.

WHATEVER doubt previously existed of the
incapacity of Government must be dispelled
by the proceedings in the Commons on Mon
day night. Individually it may possess ability
and vigour, but collectively it has neither.
Opposed principles are neutralised by their
admixture ; and this combination, from which
such capital results were anticipated, exhales
in a rank vapour of dishonoured promises.

FRENCH PLAYS.
M. LAFONT had his benefit on Wednesday at the
St. James's Theatre. The performances opened with
a slight and pleasant vaudeville by M. Scribe, Lea
Premieres Amours. But the piece of the evening
was Madame Girardin's play La Joie fait peur, of
which one seems to learn with every repetition to
appreciate more justly the skill of the authoress and
the admirable delicacy and finish of the personation.
Her Majesty made one of a thronged audience who
honoured M. Lafont with their presence on that night.

The Drury Lane managers contemplate, it is said,
the production of a new muuical work by an English
composer, the late Mr. Rooke, who left behind him
an opera, entitled Caglioatro, reported to be a pro-
duction of great merit.

THE Washington steamer, Captain Fitch, when on
her passage from Southampton to the United States,
fell in with the ship Winchester in a sinking condi-
tion, and, notwithstanding that it blew a heavy gale,
Captain Fitch took off all the human beings on
board, 477 in number, and brought them safely to
New York. The Winchester was bound from Liver-
pool to Boston, and belonged to the latter port. She
had floated helplessly for sixteen days, but some of
her passengers had been taken off by several vessels
from time to time, before the arrival of the Washing.
ton. Is thirty minutes after the last passenger was
rescued the Winchester went down. Only four per-
sons had been drowned out of more than 800.
A LAD NAKED GEWing WALKER, living at North-
ampton, has become a lunatic, as is alleged, from
submitting two years since to the operation of electro-
biology.
THAT unusual verdict, felo•de•se, was returned by a
Lancashire jury at an inquest on the body of a young
woman named Tippett, lately a worker in Mr. Cromp-
ton's mill at Prestonleigh. She had lost her em-
ployment, and, having purchased some "phosphorus
paste," a mixture used to poison rats, ate enough of
it to cause death, though not until after some days'
illness. Daring the interval she strenuously denied
having taken poison, and even had a letter written
to her parents in Bristol for money to come home.
After the verdict the coroner made out his warrant
for the interment of the body in consecrated ground,
but at night, and without the customary Christian
rites.

TERRIBLE FIRES AND FLOODS are announced to
have oecourred is Hobart Town during the laat week
of February. The former calamity has occaosioned
immense loss, and subscriptions have been opened.
for the relief of individual sufferers, many of whom
are totally ruined. The floods followed i terrine
storm and waterspout which broke ever the district
on Feb. 26, and are feared to have resulted in serious
loss of life, as well as of property.
WILIIANS, TIM SCRIPTTRE READER, beaten some
months ago at Aghada, died on Saturday at Milltown,
county of Kerry, his medical attendant (a Roman
Catholic) stating that his death arose from Abe

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY.

A discussion arose on a resolution by Lord J.
Russell, that no writs should be issued to the bo-
roughs now without members upon accusation of
bribery until after seven days' notice. Mr. T. Duw-
COMAE proposed that the writs should be delayed till
the new Reform Balottr thought that, as
no legal means existed to punish bribery, it was not
constitutional to suspend the writs, and suggested
the trial of the ballot on the delinquent boroughs.—
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said in reply that he hoped the
bill now under consideration before the select com-

mittee would prove a check to bribery.—The reso-
lution was then agreed to.
In answer to various questions, Sir C. WOOD said
the Indian Government had issued a commission
respecting the salt duties.—Mr. F. PEEL said that the
constitutions of the Australian colonies were now
before the Government. From some of the colonies
the constitutions had but just arrived, and were now
under her Majesty's consideration.—Lord JOHN
RUSSELL said that vessels under the lonian flag could
not be considered a neutral, or allowed to take part
in neutral operations.

IN TITZ BALTIC.

Mr. HritE asked the Right Hon. the First Lord of
the Admiralty if he could give the house any infor-
mation of the operations of the fleet in the Baltic?

him were arrested as they stepped on shore by some police
agents. It soon transpired that the young man had inn
away with the girl from London, and that the fuo-
- were arrested by order of her father. The man,
whose name was Tolomeo, was a goldchaeer of Piedmont,
who had been employed by a London silversmith named
Grafton. Tolomeo showed such talent that he was made
foreman, and afterwards ventured to propose for his master's
only daughter. The father refused his consent, but the
young man, having seduced Miss Grafton, persuaded her
to fly with him. This she did, taking with her a consider-
able sum of money belonging to her father. They stayed
some while in Paris, but, fearing pursuit, were on their
way to Piedmont when the police succeeded in effecting
their capture.
M. J. DELIUS, of Bremen, having ascended Mount Vesu-
vius, on the 14th of May, with a party of his countrymen,
went too near the edge of the crater, and, the ground
giving way under him, he fell into the abyss. His groans
were heard from the bottom, but when some persons de-
scended by means of ropes he was dead.
A MAN well lodged was found dead in his bed in Paris a
few days ago, who, according to the official report of the
commissary of police, had died of starvation from avarice.
A quantity of gold and silver money was found in his room.
Anvioes FROM FRANKFORT mention some curious incidents
in connection with the subscription lists for the new bank.
The anxiety to sign was so great that it became impossible
to keep the crowd in order without the aid of soldiers. An
Austrian battalion had been called in, and proceeded so
characteristically in clearing the place with their bayonets
that three peaceble citizens were dangerously wounded.
The capital of the bank is limited to 1,700,0001., but it was
expected that more than 8,000,0001. would be signed for,
and the shares were selling by anticipation at 4 premium.
According to a table drawn up by the Paris Mint autho-
rities, there are about 400 coins of different denominations
now, or formerly, in circulation among various nations.
These nre of gold, silver, copper, and platina, many of
them of large value. Among the most considerable are
the American fifty-dollar piece in gold, worth 258 f.
(101. Os. 8d.); the Florentine double quadruple, worth
111. ; the dobruan of Portugal, worth 61. 15s. 9d.• ;
the gold carlino of Piedmont, worth about 61.; the leon d or
of the Law Countries, worth 41. ; the Neapolitan ducat,
51. 4s. ; and the Sardinian doppia, worth 41. In Russia
platina coins are struck worth from 10s. to 21. 10a, The
smallest gold coins are, the English quarter-gurnea the
Roman demi-sequin, worth M.; the French eV. piece the
Portuguese craguda, worth 2s. 9d.; the Genoese quarter-
sequin, worth 2a. ; the Swedish quarter•dneat,
2s. 5d.; and the Egyptian sequin, whose fluctuating value
seldom exceeds 2e.

DR. DE JONGH'S

LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL.
Prepared for Medicinal Use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway,
and put to the Teat of Chemical Analysis. The most effectual
remedy for Consumption, Bronchitis, Astluna, Gout, Chronic
Rheumatism, and all Scrofulous Diseases.
Approved of and recommended by Berzelius. Liebig, Woehler,
Jonathan Pereira, Fouquier, and numerous other eminent medi-
cal men and scientific chemists in Europe.
Specially rewarded with medals by the Governments of Bel.
glum and the Netherlands.
Haa almost entirely superseded all other kinds on the Conti-
nent, in consequence of its proved superim power and efficacy—
effecting a cure much more rapidly.
Contains iodine, phosphate of chalk, volatile acid, and the ele-
ments of the bile—in short, all its most active and essential
principles—in larger quantities than the pale oils made in Eng-
land and Newfoundland, deprived mainly of these by their moos
of preparation.
A pamphlet by Dr. de Jongh, with detailed re narks upon its
superiority, directions for use, and cases in which it has been
prescribed with the greatest effect, will be forwarded gratis on
application.
The subjoined testimonial of the late Dr. JONATHAN PERE-
IRA, Professor at the University of London, author of " The
Elements of Malaria Medics and Therapeutics," is selected from
innumerable others from medical and scientific men of the high-
est distinction :
"My dear Sir,—l was very glad to find from you, when I had
the pleasure of seeing you in London, that you were interested
commercially in Cod Liver Oil. It was fitting that the author
of the best analysis and investigations into the properties of this
oil should himself be the purveyor of this important medicine.
" I feel, however, some diffidence in venturing to fulfil your
request by giving you my opinion of the quality of We oil of
which you gave me a sample ; because I know that no one
che- can
be better, and few so well, acquainted with the physical and
mical properties of this medicine as yourself, whom I regard as
the highest authority on the subject.
" I can, however, have no hesitation about the propriet my of re-
sponding to your application. The oil which you gave e was
of the very finest quality, whether considered with reference to
its colour, flavour, or chemical properties ; and I am satisfied
that for medicinal purposes no finer oil can be procured.

Before the bill left committee an important clause,
drawn up by Lord LYNDHURST, was added, for the
purpose of making the liability of the railway com-
panies as "common carriers" more clear. The
clause declared

" that railway companies should be liable for any injury
done to horses and cattle by the negligence of their ser-
vants—notwithstanding any notice given by them to the
contrary—to the amounts named in the clause (not ex-
ceeding 501. for a horse, 121. per head for horned cattle,
and 50s. for a sheep or pig) ; but that they should
not be liable to a greater extent unless the animals were
declared to be of higher value when they were delivered
to them ; and in that case the company are to be entitled
to charge a higher rate of carriage."
The bill was reconsidered and recommitted on
Thursday, when the amendments were agreed to.

PATRIOTS, PENCE, AND SENSE.

THE Messrs. NAriEn of Glasgow, and Mr. FILCHER
of Northfleet, having respectively on hand, and on
the stocks, certain engines and ships which they
were manufacturing and building for the Emperor
of RusslA, those gentlemen notified the fact to the
Government, by whom both vessels and machinery
were very properly purchased for the public service,
so that the respectable firms in question sustained
no loss by their patriotism.
Now, patriotism is a very charming quality—let
us take care it does not become a trade and source
of profit also. All persons are not so respectable
as the Messrs. NAPIER and Mr. FILCHER, and we
can conceive the possibility of a crowd of patriotic
boilermakers suddenly discovering that their stock
on hand was designed for the enemy, and, in the
spirit of ancient Romans, or rather of modern
Greeks, offering it to the State. An enterprising
Yankee lately found his account in manufacturing
a liquid at a cost of fifty cents per cask, ship-
ping it to Liverpool as brandy, paying the duty on
it, reshipping it to "his home in the buzzum of the
" bright settin' sun," with the Custom-house brand
upon it, and, by aid of that magic mark, selling it as
"real stuff of the right sort." A Russian brand on
worthless metal might similarly make it saleable
just now. Dr. JOHNsom's definition of " a patriot "
may occasionally be true. The Admiralty should
consider the propriety of issuing a notice that after
a certain date no more ships would be purchased on
the confession of the innocent builder, or the Board
will be overwhelmed with " astounding revela-
tions." By these remarks we do not mean to imply
that the Government have acted hastily in the in-
stances we have mentioned. The character of
Messrs. NAPIER and Mr. sufficiently gua-
rantee the bona fides of these transactions. From
the former the Government have doubtless received
excellent engines for their money, and from the latter
excellent ships. The Cossack, and her sister vessel,
will do good service against her destined owner, and
when he hears her screams and feels her beak,
" Like the struck eagle atretch'd along the plain,
it will add to the pang
" to t•el
He nursed the pinion that impelled the steel."

LYCEUM.

THE novelty at this theatre, a French proverb, missed
fire on Monday, one of the actresses who was to have
figured in it being taken ill. On Tuesday another
was put in her place, and the piece came out. The
management seemed resolved to follow the example of
the rest of the world, though after a different fashion,
for Give a Dog an 11l Name possesses just as little
plot as the spectacles at the Haymarket and Adelpbi.
Mr. Ogle has an old friend with a young wife : the
latter he proposes to run away with, declaring
his purpose openly to both parties. Of course he
does not do it, and his attack and defeat form the
whole of the story. The cool impudence of the lover,
represented by Mr. C. Mathews, was amusing, and
successful up to a certain point; fur the husband
believes his friend to be in joke, and is thrown off his
guard. The lady, at first annoyed, becomes smitten
at last; and on her husband's return from a profes-
sional walk gets up a quarrel, and ferrets oat a whole
host of grievances, which are the excuse for the

380

rather far-fetched title of the piece. But all defects
are concealed by a smart dialogue, and a quick suc-
cession of positions, which carry it through very
swimmingly.

SADLER'S WELLS.
Is our notice of the theatres we must not forget this,
the last resting-place of the legitimate drama.
Though the present summer season is not conducted
by Mr. Phelps, the management deserve great
credit for the efforts they are making to produce
their plays with care and good effect. We cannot
commend the selection of The Times, which is a poor
straggling piece, confused in its incidents, and devoid
of all real interest. Still the acting is very creditable
to the company. Mr. H. Farren and Mr. George
Vining made a great deal of two rather ungrateful
parts, and Mr. Barrett represented a poor curate with
earnestness and feeling. Miss E. Horton, too, who
is new to the London boards, promises to be a clever
actress. The afterpiece, Mr. Talfourd's burlesque of
The Willow-Pattern Plate, seemed to divert the
audience highly, and was very efficiently interpreted
by Miss Gordon, Mr. Summers, and other ladies and
gentlemen. We sincerely recommend Easter holiday
seekers to enter " Sadler's Wells " in their theatrical
visiting-books.

THE DEMAND FOR STOKERS AND ENGINEERS in her
Majesty's service has been turned to a fraudulent
account by two Irish labourers, James Caffrey and
Michael Mangan, who were charged at the Man-ion-
house by Mr. Coleman, clerk to the registrar of
seamen, with having used forged certificates of ser-
vice in order to be enabled to obtain berths as
stokers on board steam-vessels now being fitted out
for foreign service:—

Thomas Wakerley, quartermaster to H.M.S. Crocodile, now
lying off the Tower, said: Ou Monday last we had a notice out-
aide the naval rendezvous, on Tower-hill, that sixty stokers were
required for her Majesty's service. The two prisoners came into
the office on that day, and, in answer to my questions, informed
me that they had been employed us stokers for two years past,
and they produced papers in corroboration of that statement.
From the contents of the papers I was induced to take the men
to my commanding officer, who, after their approved examine
Lion by the doctor, caused them to be officially entered. This
morning they came again by appointment, and Captain Grant,
not being quite satisfied that all was correct, desired me to take
them to Mr. Coleman, who overhsuled them and gave them into

custody.
Mr. E. H. Coleman said: When the prisoners were brought:to
me I put questions to thew, from the answers to which it was
evident to me that they had never been employed as stokers, as
was represented in the characters they produced. Had the pri-
soners succeeded iu deceiving the commanding officer, they
would have been entered as stokers for her Majesty's service at
21. 14e. 6d. per month, berths fur which they were not at all
qualified, as they had only been employed as labourers ou the
quays of Dublin.
The prisoners said that they had made up their minds to come
to England to get employment. Knowing that they were not
likely to succeed without a good character, they spoke to amen
whom they met iu a public-house upon the subject, and he told
them he would write such an account of them as would soon
place them in good situations. They then paid their adviser
Is. 4d. each for their characters, and had a drop together by way
of good luck ; but, having taken more than enough, they got ou
board the boat which was coining to London, instead of that
bound for Liverpool, and were thus brought into the difficulty iu
which they at present appeared.
Sir R. W. CAILDEN : You have been charged with endeavouring
to obtain employment with false characters, and in a service in
which your deficiencies might occasion great inconve—ience and
embarrassment, if you had succeeded in so gross an attempt at
imposition, more particularly at the present moment. By your
oval account it is evident that you attended at the naval rendez-
vous for the purpose of receiving the bounty money, with which
you intended to return to Dublin.
They were sentenced to one month's imprison-
ment and hard labour.

Lrtio Sus°, a Chincse sailor, and two comrades
and fellow-countrymen of his, were charged at the
Mansion-house with begging in the public streets.

Great preparations are being made in Vienna for
the nuptials of the Emperor Francis Joseph with the
Duchess Elizabeth Eugenia of Bavaria. The solem-
nisation remains fixed for Sunday next, the 23rd
inst. The ratifications of the marriage settlements
were signed on the 4th, and in due lorm exchanged
on the 7th. In honour of these nuptials the Em-
peror has issued orders that the state of siege in
Hungary, in the Seivian Woiwodate, the Temes-
Banat, in Galicia, Lodomeria, Kracow, and Buko-
vina, shall be raised from the Ist of May.
Baron Hess returned from Berlin on Tuesday
night; the result of his mission is not yet divulged.
It is rumoured that the point on which the Aus-
trian and Prussian Governments cannot agree is
the occupation of the frontiers touching on Russian
Poland.
The semi-official Correspondent states that the
objections made by Austria to the draft of the treaty
will not have the effect of breaking off the negotia-
tions, but that the latter will be brought to a satisfac-
tory termination in a few days.

FRIDAY ETZNING.
Os Monday there was little doing in the markets
generally, the sole exception to this rule being the
Consul Market, in which the settling of the account
proved more " Bullish " than was expected. This
necessitated the borrowing of stock, and it is under-
stood that the Bank of England advanced no less
than 400,0001., at 1-10 " backwardation." The
profits of this transaction are at the rate of 81 per
cent., and this sufficiently accounts for the readiness
of the directors to make these advances, when the
Government is pressing them for accommodation.
The total amount of stock lent by the Bank within
the last fortnight is understood to exceed 1,000,0001.
The funds, which opened at 871 to I, closed at 871
to 871. The markets were not influenced by political
intelligence. Money is easy at 5 and 51 per cent.
On Tuesday Consols were first quoted at 871 to I,
and at four o'clock were 871 to 4, but for money they
were 4 per cent. higher.
Some business took place in the New Two-and-a-
half per Cents.—issued at 110 per cent. —at 791.
The Harbinger and the Sovereign of the Seas were
reported with 442,600/. worth of gold from Australia.
It is probable that all this will be exported to the
Continent; however, it may, pro tanto,stop the efflux
of gold from the Bank.
On Wednesday Consols opened at 075 to 4, and
closed at 87i to 4. But the rise is caused entirely
by speculation, and not by any other eircnmstance.
It is only in Consols that a scarcity of stock exists ;
in all other Government securities the supply is abun-
dant. Exchequer Bills are as they have been for
many months, at from par to 2s. premium.
