TOZEAU'S COPAHINE, or JACCHARATED
C tPSULES.—Copaiba and Cubebs are, doubtless, tile best
remedies for the cure of certain diseases, but these drugs are, in
their natural state, of a repulsive taste and odour, an 1 occasion after
indigestion, colicky pains, nausea, and gastric disturbance. Useless
attempts have been made, both in France and England, to conceal
these defects. Mottles and Ravin enveloped their substances in
capsules of Gelatine and Gluten which increased the drawbacks of
the Cosaiba, by adding the indigestible nature of the capsules. Mr.
JOZEAU, more fortunate than his predecessors, has succeeded in
rendering these valuable therapeutic agents perfectly inocuous, in
increasinz at the same time, is his Copahine, all their curative prin-
ciples. This important preparation has been adopted by the Aca-
demy of Medicine, after more than I,ooe trials In the hospitals of
Paris, upon the report of Messrs. Boulay, Begin, and Cullerier ; and
it has also lately been tried in the hospitals of London—viz , St.
Bartholomew s, Guys, and St Thomas's, under the care of Messrs.
Lloyd, Poland, and Legros Clerk (see " Lancet " 6th Nov., and
10th Dec., 1852.) The Copahine, in the form of a very pretty pink
sugar plum, both agreeable to the taste and to the eye, effects a
cure, on an average of six days, without nausea, cone, or g,/strie
disturbance, of recent as well as cluotdc cases. Ono hundred cap-
sules, 4s. 6/1. ; 50, 2s. 9d.—To be had of the Inventor, G. Jozeau,

THE WAR IN BUENOS AYRES.

The following is a copy of a letter dated Buenos
Ayres, Nov. 13, 1854, received yesterday per the
mail steamer Imperador :
" Communications from General Hornos to the 11th
instant, have set our minds at rest as to the iniquitous
invasion. As we expected, the invaders have found no
sympathy in the masses of our rural districts, and, after
a merited chastisement, have retraced their steps,
eu wise ignominy, and proclaiming their impotency
in a manner that must undeceive their partisans and in-
stigators. It is probable they will not be in a state to
make another attempt during the political existence of
General Urquiza, whose borrowed prestige wanes apace,
and promises a speedy extinction.
" The question now is, whether General Hornos
should follow up the advantage gained, demanding
satisfaction, and exacting effective guarantees from the
Government of the province of Santa F 6. The occa-
sion is tempting, and yet we question its expediency.
It would be throwing down the gauntlet to the 13
provinces presided over by Generals Urquiza, who
would not scruple to negotiate alliances by bartering
the rights and interests of the Repablic. Besides,
the organisation, discipline, and morality of our veteran
force are not exactly of the kind to be employed in a
foreign war, in which intrigue and bribery are the most
formidable weapons to be encountered.
" In these circumstances we would prefer a declaration
of absolute independence, leaving the other provinces to
work out their own social regeneration ; and if the time
should come when they are disposed to treat for a re-
union, it would be easier to treat on a footing of mutual
independence than from the undefined and anomalous
position in which we now stand. Withal, we suspect
the current of public opinion is in favour of immediate
hostilities, which may precipitate the fall of General
Urquiza, or involve us in a labyrinth of unforeseen com-
plications.
"To eke out his scanty resources, General Urquiza
has added ti per cent, to his import tariff—a measure
that must still further alienate the provinces when its
spirit and tendency are comprehended.
" The victory of General Hornos has saved our im-
port and local commerce from an overwhelming crisis,
which we fear may be prolonged or aggravated by the
hostile policy apparently in the ascendant. We throw
out the suggestion for the guidance of those whom it
may concern, and await the verdict of time."
London, England, 1855-01-06

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.

Central Station, Great Northern-office, Leeds, Jan. 4.
Sir—ln accordance with your telegraphic message
just received, I regreet to be obliged to say that an ac-
cident occurred to our No. 19 up-train last night (leav-
ing at 6.25 p.m.) to Doncaster.
The train consisted of the following carriaget, and was
arranged thus :

Engine and tender, then a break, one first eras, two
seconds empty, one third class, one composite carriage
with passengers, then a break.
The engine backed the train out, as usual, until it
reached the facing points, very near to the ticket 'plat.
form. The train then, it is evident, ran on the wrong
line. The last break dropped off the rails, causing the
composite to run off also, the break taking the loft and
the composite the right. They then broke asunder, the
composite falling into the lower level (Lancashire and
Yorkshire goods yard) into a truck, and then on to that
ground, breaking into many pieces.
In this composite was Mr. Hall, recorder of Douce&
ter, who is much bruised, his right arm and leg broken ;
he is with Mr. Jeal, surgeon, an old schoolmate of his.
There were four or five second-class passenger'', who were
our servants. save one, Mr. Hall's clerk. None of these,
I believe, were hurt in the least.

The trains passed in and out immediately after. The
line is not in the least damaged nor out of gauge ; the
carriages also. The engine and the other portions of the
train passed into the station. The driver pulled up inx-
mediately he saw the train running diagonally, which he
discovered from the lights at the junction.
Mr. Cubitt came down last night. We have mea•
sured the ground, &c., mos minutely with Mr. Bourn's
assistant, who will send a plan of the line &c. The can-
not give the least reason for the cause of the accident ;
the only surmise can be that the points might have been
partially closed by a cinder falling down. They are in
good repair, and act as well as points can do, and were
cleaned at four o'clock in the afternoon.—l have the
honour to be your obedient servant,

'RICHARD BENNET.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE PETER THOMPSON.

This was an adjourned last examination. The bank-
rupt was described as of Birchin-lane, commission agent.
The amended balance-sheet, which commenced Janu-
ary, 1853, and ended June, 1854, showed debtor to ere-
ditniA unsecured, 6,6401. 104. 4d. ; ditto secured,

6391. ls. lid.

Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, said the examina-
tion was adjourned on the former occasion from the un-
satisfactory nature of the accounts. The assignees were
not now sat6fied relative to certain consignments to,
Australis, and therefore asked for another adjourt.
ment sine die, with protection but for 3 months.
The bankrupt's solicitor having assented to this course,
the examination was adjourned accordingly.
London, England, 1855-10-18

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 4.—Gencra,l Beatson, in
command of the riotous Bashi Bazouks collecting
at the Dardanelles, has arrived here to concert
with General Vivian.

The Sultan visited in state the Grand Council at
the Porte to-day. This ceremony takes place every
year, in the Turkish month of Muharrem (the first
of the Ottoman year), and is generally productive
of some great national innovation. On the present
occasion the Sultan made a neat and appropriate
speech, enjoining his ministers to improve the con-
dition of the country and people by the introduc-
tion of railroads. His Majesty also calls upon all
the governors and vice-governors of the provinces
to pay special care to the wants of the population
over which they are called to administer. The
President of the Grand Council, in his reply, stated
that a new code of laws was in course of being dis-
cussed, which will respond to the wishes of his
Majesty. The people, I am sorry to say, do not
place confidence in these acts of concession in their
favour. Every year at this season the same re-
petitions are made, and invariably fall to the
ground when the excitement has passed.
The gales of the 28th of September have occa-
sioned great losses in the Archipelago. At Salonica
four English merchant-vessels were wrecked in the
port.
The English and French cavalry regiments are
coming down to Constantinople to winter. Huts
are being constructed at Haidar Paeba plain for
the former; the latter have beds ready to receive
them at Maslak, nearyera.

The Trebizond mail has not arrived ; the only
intelligence from Asia is of a private character.
Omer Pacha has announced that the,season is too
far advanced to undertake operations in 1855. In
the spring, 1856, with the fine weather, he will be
ready to act on the offensive.

AUSTRIA.
The Borsenhalle of Hamburg (Jives the following
particulars respecting the state domains of Austria,
a portion of which are about to be transferred to the
bank of Vienna. The domains comprise 442 square
miles (German) containing 111 towns, 51 castles,
5,471 villages and market places, 736 isolated farms,
1,655,065 inhabitants. Since 1802, land of the
value of 38 millions florins has been sold (the florin
is somewhat less than 2f. 50c.) Their total value
was estimated at 238 millions, so that if the value
of 150 millions be transferred to the bank, a
bala ice of 50 millions will remain to the State. A
large portion of the land transferred to the hank is
situated in Hungary The totality of the domains
in Hungary produced a revenue of 2,650,000
florins, of which 1,013,000 florins was from. guu-

gory Proper, 93,000 from Croatia and Slavonia,
1,475,000 from the Banat and the Hoirvodine, and
73,000 from Transylvania. In esteeming the
revenue at per cent., we find that the value of.
the domains in Hungary is fifty-six millions.
London, England, 1855-10-18

GREECE.

Letters from Athens speak in no measured terms
of the unbounded joy which is felt by the people
at the retirement of Kalergis. The Greeks appear
to see in this a second liberation of their country,
and attribute the result of the late diplomatic diffi-
culties solely to the firmness displayed by their
King. The newly-formed ministry is said to be
such as to afford room for the most brilliant hopes,
and the names of Trikupis, Smolenitz, Miaulis, and
Bottley, are taken as some pledges f>r the coming
of a better time. Whether these sanguine expecta-
tions are destined to be realis"d remain yet to be
seen. Whatever may be its views in respect to
Russia, it is probable that it will keep them to it-
self, at all events until a more favourable time
shall be offered for their promulgation. Th© Kipg
has been given clearly to understand by the am-
bassadors of the Western Powers that he aone will
be considered responsible for any disturbance
which may take place, and for any demonstration
in favour of Russia within the limits of his Ma-
jesty's kingdom.

Lewis, Esq., coroner for Rochester. at the North Ayles-
ford Union Workhouse, Strood, touching .the death of
Jacob Faulkner, a labourer employed in the chalk pits of
Wm. Lee, Esq , M.P., at Snodland. It appeared from
the evidence that, about three weeks ago, deceased, who
was a very intemperate. man, was intoxicated, and being
unfit for work, he went into a hut in a chalk pit, and
laid down on a bench to sleep, having only his
trousers and shirt on. A man named James , Tilbeyla
fellow workman, who had been drinking with deceased,
found him asleep iu the hut, and saying, "let's smoke
him out," took a small handful of straw, and having set
fire to it with a lucifer match, put it near deceased, who
was seen to run out of the hut isbortly afterwaids, with
one side of his shirt in flames. Some men came up and
tere off the shirt as quickly as possible, but deceased was
so badly burned that he died a few days ago in the infir•
mary. Tilbey afterwards said he would do all he could for
deceased, and pay for a doctor. He alio expressed his
regret at what had happened, and said he only did it for
a lark. A witness explained to the jury that it was a
common practice amongst the men when one of theta
went to sleep to get a piece of rag to " smoke him cut,"
as they called it. Tilbey took the deceased home with
him alter it happened, and said that he would keep him
during the time be was bad. After a few minutes'
ration the jury determined upon adjourning the inquiry
for one week, in order to have the depositions of the de-
ceased laid before them.—Rochester Gazette.

time about 900 of these institutions in the country, per-
haps rather more, all dating witnin the present century,
most of them within the last 25 years. The pro-
bability was, that in many cases the quality of the teach-
ing imparted to them was insufficient. They were not
what they ought to be, what they were meant to be, or
what they might be made. The main reason was that
circumstances bad materially changed since the time
when they were first formed. Twenty years ago there
were no public libraries or newsrooms, and the burden
was thrown upon them, and they were expected to per-
form the most various functions, and supply a vast num-
bee of intellectual want.. Now the requirements of the
times had changed. We had free public libraries, and a
limited number of books were required. Newsrooms
had also in many places been established, and found to
answer. His lordship, in concluding, spoke in terms of
congratulation of the present efficiency and future pro-
spects of the institution in whose honour they had that
evening assembled. The speech was received with great
en thusiasm.—Munchatter Examiner.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Bucharest, of the 4th, says :
" The Grand Vornik E. Balleano has at length
yielded to the solicitations of his friends and ac-
cepted the post of Minister of the Interior. He
was for several years one of the most influential
members of the opposition, and signed the different
addresses directed against the Government of the
Hospodar Stirbey, but has not dared to prolong
a resistance which might have passed in the eyes of
the present Government for systematic ill-will. A
complete remodelling of the ministry is talked of.
During the last month the attention of the admi-
nistrative council of the principality has been taken
up with the question of procuring the necessary
supply of wheat. The council has fixed the price
of bread at such a rate that the poorer classes may
be able to obtain it, and in order to cover the ex-
pense which may result from the measure, an
additional duty has been established on the export
of corn, which duty will be maintained until the
harvest of 1856,"
London, England, 1855-10-18

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :
" It is known that hitherto the Czars, notwithstand-
ing all the efforts they have made since the time of Peter
the Great, have not succeeded in subjecting to the official
church the old believers of the Greek Church, the
Starowerzes, the Duchaborzes, and the Roskoluicks.
This submission has only been external, for the funda-
mental principle of the reform effected by Peter the
Great, that which makes the Czar the Protector and
the Primate of the Eastern Church, has always been
considered by these sects as opposed to the will of
God, and only established for temporal interests. A
secret society has, it is said, been formed, composed of
members of these sects, under the name of Perst
Bochi, the Finger of God, who see in all the unfortu-
nate events of the present war, and even in the death
of the Emperor Nicholas, a manifest of the Divine
Will, and predict the renewal of the speedy indepen-
dence of the Patriarchal Church, on which Peter the
Great imposed by force a temporal chief. There are
many priests, even at St. Petersburg, who 'bare in these
sentiments although in the ecclesiastical schools, the
government constantly enforces the official doctrine, and
the police in general have great difficulty in preventing
the propagation of these ideas."

WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS ;

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING.

By the Royal mail steam-ship Tyne, Capt. Val-
ler, we have dates from Jamaica, Sept. 27, Porto
Rico, 30 ; Demerara and Trinidad, 25 ; Barbadoes,
27 ; St. Thomas, Oct. 1.
The Tyne brings 59 passengers, 548,505 dollars
in specie, 10,000 dollars value in jewellery, and a
cargo of sarsaparilla, pine apples, &c.
At Jamaica trade continued extremely languid.
The Legislature would meet on the 16th inst. Tho
weather was intensely hot, and the island generally
healthy. A better feeling was exhibited in the
markets. Exchanges, 60 days, 11 per cent. prem.
At Tobago affairs had slightly improved. An
amended Constitution, similar to that of Jamaica,
had come into operation. The island was healthy,
and the weather favourable.

At Barbadoes the weather was wet, and the
prospects of a large crop excellent.
At Demerara the weather had been dry, and ex-
ceedingly favourable for maturing the sugar-cane,
many crops of which have considerably improved.
Business among the merchants was more brisk.
Intelligence from Grenada reports the island
healthy, hut business still depressed. The planta-
tions had derived benefit from the weather, but the
want of labour was still felt.

At Trinidad heavy rains had prevailed through-
out the month, and the young canes were growing
fast. In some instances, however, the crops had.
suffered materially from the storms.

The Piedmontese of Turin announces the arrival
there of Mr. Brett. He has stated that having
found depths of upwards of 1,000 metres, the bad
weather and the weight of the cable obliged him to
cut the latter, not however without previously at-
taching buoys to it, in order to be able to.,continue
the operation at a more seasonable period.
The Prussian Correspondence contradicts the
reports as to propositions of mediation having
been made by Prussia to the Western Powers.
The same paper adds that similar propositions bad
not been received by the Prussian Cabinet from
that of Russia, and that, conformably to authentic
intelligence, the Western Powers were so little dis-
posed to renew negotiations for peace, that under.
actual circumstances all mediation was

GREECE.

Letters from Athens speak in no measured terms
of the unbounded joy which is felt by the people
at the retirement of Kalergis. The Greeks appear
to see in this a second liberation cf their country,
and attribute the result of the late diplomatic diffi-
culties solely to the firmness displayed by their
King. The newly-formed ministry is said to be
such as to afford room for the most brilliant hopes,
and the names of Trikupis, Sinolenitz, Miaulis, and
Bottley, are taken as some pledges fir the coming
of a better time. Whether these sanguine expecta-
tions are destined to be realised remain yet to he
seen. Whatever may be its views in respect to
Russia, it is probable that it will keep them to it-
self, at all events until a more favourable time
shall be offered for their promulgation. The King
has been given clearly to understand by the °am-
bassadors of the Western Powers that he &one will

what singular robberies which have been committed at
the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway,
It appears that at various times within a few weeks a
