stre,t, who has succeeded in •roducing a medallic pen, which he
designates, not inaptly, an above. There is hardly anything more
annoying than a bad nen—every one knows the misery. The pen
made by Sir. Hail. is St for anv haud to use light or heavy), and
what is of the gre,testrlinn, it does not corrode, but will work with
equal facility in any ink. From experience of inetlllic pens, we can
say that this one, which is plished as gold, and will last nearly as
long, is the best one we have ever used,..--Northent Timcs. One

Buns. —One c•f the Creatast domestic nuisances, especially in the
spring and summer of the year, is the prevalence of bugs. Many
means have been tried to p, event or ex term nate them, but all
hitherto ineffectually. Cleanliness may check, but cannot eradicate
them. Mr. R. Greer, late one of the Liverpool sanitary officials,
after intense study ano deep research with many practical experi-
ments, in the usual pursuit of his official avocation, has at long'4
discovered the great des' •e atom, " Greer's Patent Anti-Bug Lotion,"
is an unfailing t xtertu.nator of bugs, fleas, &c. It is clean, simple
in application, agr,eat,le in smell, and perfectly innoxious save to
inserts. To be hat at the Anti-Vermin Office,',49,

THE nNE Tit ENG WANTINO. —A correspondent writes := Now
that we have had the If ivincon water for some weeks, and as there
seems no chance of getting rid of it, it behoves us to search for the
remedy to Improve this waver. Fearing illness, and bearing in mind
the well-known axiom that previmtion is better than cure,' it is
gratifying to learn that. in this age of science and improvement, we
have in this town the one thing nec.-ssary for t io pre,ervation of oar
healths. 'To Messrs. Launder, and Co., only, we aro indebted for the
best biters that can be made, removing all imeurities, and, by their
recently imprived deodorisers. actually removing a'l the colour, and
producing from the Rtvington water a remarkably brilliant and clear,
sparkling beverage." We earnestly recommend our readers to an

Emigrants to Me UNITED STATES and C.. NADI, by lit'•ing the
Through Tickets of the Grand Trunk Beltway Company, are conveyed
from their port of landing to their destination in less than ONE
QUARTErt OF TOE TIN . taken by Steam Boats, and at about the same
rates of fares. Thus a passenger can reach Chicago from Quebec, a
distance of 1,007 miles, in less than 2i days, whereas by water it is
nearly double the cUstance and requires from 12 t 0.15 days, with five
or six changes of Steam Boats, daring all of which they are exposed
-to the arta and machinations of designing persons, whose sole means
of living is by their piunder. The Steam Beats, especially when
crowded, scarcely afford protection from the weather. Passengers
with Through Tickets are allowed the same amount of luggage, free,
as on board the ship, and it is conveyed from the Ship to the Railway
Station without any charge whatever. The Agents of the Grand
Trunk Company will give Mechanics, Artizans, and Labourers, on
their arrival, the best information in respect to employ ent, the
places it which it is to be had, and the rates of wages. Intending
Emigrants can have sent to them, free, a Tariff of passenger ates ' •
and all thelr enquiries with regard to the ssi!ing of both steamers and
sailing ships, Scale of Dietary, &c., will be immediately answered on
application, either personally or by letter, at the offices of the Grand
Trunk Company, 21, Old Broad-street, London.

Tax SUEZ DANAL.—A numerously attended meeting of the ship-
owners. merchants, manufaatnrers, and other gentlemen connected
with the trade and shipping of Aberdeen has been held. The Lord
Provost, in the chair' stated the object of the meeting to be to hear
explanations by M. de Lesseps and Mr. Langa respecting the in-
tended Ship Canal between the Red Sea and. the Mediterranean,
across the Isthmus of Suez, These gentlemen addressed the meeting,
and various questions were put. It was resosned—" That this
meeting. having had the advantage of hearing the information and
explanations afforded by M. de Lesseps, and Mr. Lange on the sub-
ject of the contemplated ship canal across the Isthmus of Sues, a
subject which has previously engaged the attention of many now
present, have to express tbcir general concurrence in the views of
the gentlemen who have thus addressed the meeting. The meeting
desire to record their conviction that the design is one of the very
utmost value to the shipping and commerce of Great Britain, and
from the information now comTnunili.ted, is quite practicable; and
`they beg to offer to M. do Lesseps their thaws for this visit, and an
earnest desire for his success in his important mission."
EFFECT OF A DECLARATION OF WAR, UPON MERCANTILE Cox-
rascra.—Mr. Justice Mlles, at the Ex, hequer Chamber, on Friday,
in delivering thejndgment of the court in this case, said it was an
action on a charter party. brought against a British merchant who
had chartered a vessel before the declaration of war with Russia to go
to a Russian port; and there put en board a cargo to be conveyed to a
port in this country. The question was, whether the breaking ont of
the war before the al rival of the vessel at Odessa operated as a nulli-
fication of the charter party. The defendant pleaded that, the'deciara-
tion of war excused him from the performance of his contract, as it
was impossible to carry it into effect without violet ng the law by
trading with the Queen's enemies. The Court of Queen's Bench held
that tais plea was no answer to the action. The important question
upon which they had to give an opinion was whether the plea was a
good one. It was clearly established that the effect of a declaration
of war was to put an end to all intercourse with the inhabitants of the
.enemy's country, and to make all such intercourse illegal. In 1799
some doubt was thrown upon that principle, but in 1800 Lord Kenyon
and the Court of Queen's Bench decided that a declaration of war
was an absolute interdictiO of commercial intercourse bstweeu hos-
tile countries. A declaration of war had all the force of an act of
parliament. It Was an exercise of the prerogative of the crown, and
every authority, particularly Lord Mansfield, Sir Christopher Robin-
son, and Justice Storey, laid down that it had all the force of:law,
and was, in fact, a portion of ths law of England. Here they had to
inquire what was the effect of a dechration of' war upon a contract
made before, and remaining unexecnted at the time of such declara-
tion. Authorities were not wanting npsn that point. It had' been
held by Lord Ellenborough, and lad down by Chancellor Kent, that
the effect of a declaration of war upon such a contract was to dissolve
the contract, andexcuse the parties from performing it. If a British
subject, not domiciled in an enemy's country, shipped a`cargo in a
neutral vessel from an enemy's port, he -would be. trading with the
enemy, and violating the law ; and neither an English subject nor an
alien friend could bring an action against a person for refusing to
perform a contract containing an undertaking to do so after war had
been declared. On these grounds the Court were of opinion that the
judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench ought to be reversed Mid
judgment eptered for the defendent. Judgment for the defondarA.
