" He attached himself to the Hungatian army, and charged
cross in hand at the head of columns. It is needless to recapitu-
late the well known events of the campaign, which our author
describes with all the spirit and vivacity of au eyewitness."—
Saturday Review.
" The story is interesting from many causes, and will repay
perusal."—Critic.
" Throughout the writer shows the moat intimate acquaint-

which traces these scenes is an able and often an eloquent one."

SOUTH AFRICAN WINES.
HARRINOTON PARK RR and CO., Sti, PALL-MALL,
LONDON.—The great excellence and purity of these Wines
having resulted—after as experience of some years of their
gradually increasing use—in a very large and constant demand,
we beg to inform our customers and the public that, from au
intimate connection with our South African Colonies, we are
enabled to place before them an ostensive stock of the choicest
qualities, from the most celebrated vineyards ; and that, being
holders of large quantities direct from the growers, we can offer
these Winer not only in the purest and finest condition, but
also at the following favourable prices :—Pcrt, Sherry, Ma-

THE FOLLOWING is an EXTRACT
1 Loin the Second F.dition (page 188) of the Translation of the
Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians in London, by
Dr.G. F. Collier, published by Longman and Co.:—" It is no
small defect in this compilation (speaking of the Pharmacopeia)
that we have no purgative mess but what contains aloes; yet we
know that hemorrhoidal persons cannot bear aloes, except it be
in the form of COCKLF.'S PILLs, which chiefly consist of
aloes, scammony, arid colocyntb, which I think are formed into
a DIM of eoinpound extract, the acridity of which Is obviated, I
suspect, by an alkaline process, and by a fourth ingredient
(unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic nature. I think no better
and no worse of it for its bciug a patent medicine. I look at It
as an article of commerce and domestic convenience, and do not
hesitate to say it is the best made pill in the kingdom ; a mus-
cular purge, a mucous purge, and a hydrogogue purge com-
bined, and their effects properly controlled by a di. igent and
oorrigeut. That it does not commonly produce hemorrhoids
like most aloritic pills, I attribute to its being thoroughly BO-
luable, so that uo undissolved particles adhere to {the mucous
membrane."

WHEN YOU ASK FOR
GLENFIELD PATENT STARCII,
SEE THAT YOU GET IT,
AS INFERIOR KINDS ARE OFTEN SUBSTITUTED.
NICOLUS NEW REGISTERED PALETOT
has all those advantages which secured such general popu-
larity to Messrs. Nicoll's original I'aletot, that is to say, it avoids
giving to the wearer an entre appearance, so that professional
men ano all others can use it during morning and afternoon iu
or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessary
seams, well known to secure a more graceful outline, as well as
to elect a great saving in wear; the latter advantage is conk-
derahly enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly-
stitched binding, the mode or effe:ting which is patented. Great
exertions are being made to supply Messrs, Nicoll's agents
throughout the ouuutry and the colonies with an assortment of
this new garment simultaneously with the display in London,
but it is necessary to inform the public that a 1 Messrs. Nicoll's
manulactures may be distinguished by a trade mark, consisting
of a silk label attached to each specimeu ; to copy this is fraud,
and maybe thus detected. If the garment is dark-coloured, the
label has a black ground, with the firm's name anti address
woven by the Jacquard loom iu gold-coloured silk ; if the gar-
meet is lighbeoloured, the label has a pale drab ground, and red
silk letters, Each Paletot is marked in plain figures, at a fixed
moderate price, and is of the best materials. In London the
NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of 11. J.
and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regeut•street, and 22,
A NEW DEPARTNIENT FOR YOUTH, &c.
11. J. and D. NICOLL recommend for an Out-
sucha side Coat the Havelock, and fur orainary use the Cape
Suit, being well adapted for Young Gentlemen, as exhi-
biting considerable economy with general excellence. Jentlemen
at Eton, liarrow, Winchester, the Military and Naval Schools,
waited on by appointment. A great variety of materials adapted
for the Kilted or Highland Costume, as worn by the Royal
Princes, may be seen at
WARWICK HOUSE, 142 and 144, Regent-street.
FOR LADIES.
VICOLL'S PATENT 'IitotILAND CLOAK
.L is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No
Lady having seen or used such in travelling for morning wear
or fur (revenue full dress would willingly be without one. It
somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and has an
elastic Capueiue Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and
measures from twelve to sixteen yards round the outer edge,
felling in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical
routrivance (such being a pan of the Patent) the wearer can
Distantly knit semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms as liberty
at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly toresume its
Widen shape. The materials chiefly used are the soft neutral-
irietued shower-proof Woollen Cloths manufactured by this tine.
The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak ; but
with the Michanique and a lined Hood a few shillings more is
alleged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who pre.
Pare Mantles of all kinds. with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets,
either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this
Firtn's Riding Habit—are in good taste and fit well. Female
attendants may also be seen for Pantslons des Dames 1 Chaval,
partially compered of Chamois. As no measure is required, the
rstmt highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the
sod is thus well adapted for a gift.
