GENERAL POST-OFFICE, May. —The Postmaster-
General has received the following notice from the
Director-General of the French Post-office.
Translation.—The public is informed that a Post-office
will be established in the building of the Universal Ex-
hibition in Paris for the time during which the Exhibi-
tion lasts.
Natives of France and foreigners residing in the
neighbourhood of the building, or obliged to spend the
greater part of their time there, and persons who, at the
time of their leaving home do not know where they shall
fix their abode in Paris, may have their letters addressed
to them at the Post-office at the Exhibition.
These letters will be kept at the office, and will
be delivered to the persons to whom they are ad-
dressed, on the presentation of their passports, or of any
other documents which may be sufficient to establish
their identity.
The letters should be directed as follows,—

"A Monsieur ----,

l'Exposition Univeisolle,
1 Paris."

Letters addressed to exhibitors will be delivered in the
same way; or, if the particular part of the building in

of the letter, it will be carried to that place by the letter
carrier.
Further, the public will find at the Post-office of the
Exhibition all the facilities afforded in other French
post-offices, for the purchase of postage stamps, the pay-
ment of postage, the transmission of money, &c., &c.

Accounts from Venice speak highly of the performance
of Rigoletto, at the Apollo, by the following artistes,
whose names, en passant, meet our eye for the first
time :—Mme. Cremont, M. Bartolucei, M. Saccomano,
and Mine. Lollio.
Yacht seamen's wages have advanced this year from
4/. to Si a month, notwithstanding the few yachts which
are fitting out this season. There are about 50 yachts
belonging to the Isle of Wight, not halt of which will be
fitted out this year. Yacht seamen are a peculiar class.
They are the smartest and best conducted of seamen.
Scores of them reside in the Isle of Wight. They get
almost enough in the summer to last them during the
winter, for, besides their wages, they get a suit and
sometimes two suits of clothes a year, and perquisites
from friends of the owners of yachts who visitthem when
afloat. The crews of yachts vary from 30 or 35 to 5 or
6 men each • few of them are kept on throughout the
year. In the winter they navigate for short voyages
ships which put into Cowes short-handed, or they rig
out ships which put into that port damaged.
[ADVERTISEMENT. ]—Among the numerous extraordinary cures
without Medicine effected by Du Barry's delicious health-
restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, the following is not the
least remarkable :—" 59, Union-street, Third District, New
Orleans, March 13, 1855.--Dear Sir,—Since 1838 I had been
afflicted with a complaint that neither I nor my physician
could qualify. It first began by an excessive thirst, so that
I was fain to drink daily from 30 to 40 tumblers of water,
the greatest thirst being during the digestive proces,. A
strange feeling above the fundament followed that unusual
thirst. It came on with intolerable itchings, and next as if
an edged tool was cutting into it. These symptoms were
followed by colic, and finally by a diarrhoea. Originally these
paroxysms came on yearly ; after a while, several times in the
course of the year ; and for some y ears back almost every
month, until at last every week ; so that for seventeen years
I have been labouring under an insufferable affliction, deprived
of sleep, and so dizzy at times that I could not help myself ;
my stomach would fail me, and I thus became a helpless ener-
vated invalid. At last, on the 15th of June, 1854, I was
taken down with an alvino flux and killing pains in the bowels.
Often as I went to bed at night I thought I should never see
morning. My medical attendant and friend, in whom was all
my trust, could do nothing to alleviate my suffer,ngs, and
sent me to one of his colleagues, whose attendance proved as
unsuccessful ; all the remedies prescribed failing to afford me
any relief. It was at this stage of my disease that, on the sth
of September last, I luckily met one of my frieuds, who told
me that Mr. J. B. Monier had passed through the same
ordeal, and had been radically cured by Du Barry's Re-
valenta Arabica. Thereupon I immediately began to make
use of it, and soon after felt relieved ; and the extraor-
dinary change for the better I have gradually experk aced
since, owing to that excellent farina, induces me to
believe that I am completely cured. —F. B. BERNARD,
Commercial Abstract Clerk in the Collector's Office.
