Du B It R Y'S HE XLIII-RESTORING
FOOD FOR INVALIDS AND INFANTS.
The REVALENT A. ARABICA FOOD is the only natural, plea-
sant, and effectual remedy (without medicine, purging, inconveni-
ence, or expense, as it saves fifty times its value in other means of
cure) for all nervous, stomachic, intestinal, liver, and bilious com-
plaints, however deeply rooted, dyspepsia (indigestion), habitual
constipation, htemorrhoidal affections, diarrhoea, acidity, heartburn,
Slatuleucy, oppression, rheumatism, gout, cough, asthma, dropsy,
headache, giddiness, congestion of the brain, noises in the head and
ears, distension, palpitation, eruptions of the skin, impurities and po-
verty of the blood, sinking, sickness at the stomach during preg-
nancy, at sea, and under all circumstances, debility in the aged as well
as in'ants, depression, irritability, wasting away,flts, spasms, cramps,
inflammation and ulceration of the stomach, angina pectoris, fevers,
scurvi, paralysis, Sec. The best food for infants and invalids generally,
as it never turns acid on the weakest stomach, nor interferes with a
good liberal diet, but imparts a healthy relish for lunch and dinner,
and rstores the faculty of digestion and nervous and muscular energy
to the most enfeebled. The only remedy which has obtained 50,000
testimonials of cures of the above aid other complaints, many of
which had resisted all other modes of treatment, and ;Nen aban-
.
donad as incurable.

A few out of 50,000 cures are here given :
Cure No. 47,121.
" Miss Elizabeth Jacobs, of Nazing Vicarage, Waltham-cross,
Herts a cure of extreme nervousness, indigestions, gatherings, low
spirits, and nervous fancies."
Cure No. 48,314.
"Mies Elizabeth Yeoman, Gateacre, near Liverpool, a cure of ten
years' dyspepsia, and all the horrors of nervous irritability."
Curs No. 71. of Dyspepsia; from the Right Hon. the Lord Stuart

DISMISSAL OF LORD PALMERSTON.
The Foreign Secretary who has served under many Ad-
ministrations has at length ceased to hold office, and every body
is giving a different reason for the separation. Some attribute it to
the turn of affairs in France, some to his Marylebone friends, with
their address and resolution and his Lordship's answer, some to a
personal difference with Earl grey about matters which do not
come to light all at once, but the fact of his Lordship's separation
from the rest of the Cabinet is much regretted by many. We are
naturally sorry to part from old servants, and there aro some ser-
vices which cement parties together stronger the older they be-
come. Of this kind of service Is that rendered by E. MOSES and
SON, who have for many years caused a reduction in the expendi-
ture for dress of more than one-half, and the longer we are used to
this the less we could do without it. In the year 1851 not less than
half a million of money was saved to the public by E. MOSES and
SON, and although it can be clearly shown that every article reaches
the public at half-price, they challenge the whole world to a com-
parison of quality. They, by means of a large capital, and a staff
of workmen and designers perfectly unequalled, have surpassed
everybody in quality, and intend to keep the lead by a system which
the public fully appreciates.

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, As evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
tage by all these whose constitutions may have become debilitated
through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
later years, whereby the pleasures of life aro marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of unceas-
ing misery and regret.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
WAKEFIELD, JAN. 2.—The supplies this week are
short of all articles. Wheat is held with great firmness
at Is advance, which in some degree limits business, but
there is ultimately a fair sale, and the market closes
with a healthy tone. Barley is scarce, and eagerly taken
at an advance of is to 2s per qr., which enables us to in-
crease our quotations for malt 2s per load. Oats and
shelling sell in retail at late prices. No alteration in

LIVERPOOL WOOL, JAN. I.—lmports the past week
consist of 86 bags Lisbon, and 514 bags Australian, from
Sydney and New Z a.latifl. Business is steady and
prices stiff, in fine wools and combing fleeces; but low
wools being more plentiful than of late are scarcely so
firm.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—Business has been very quiet at
our Cloth Halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday, but
there is a general feeling in the trade that goods have
seen their lowest price, and that after stock taking there
is likely to be considerable improvement. There have
been very few buyers in the town during the week, and
little has been done in the warehouse. The foreign
houses are doing less than usual at this season, but there
has been cln.iderably more inquiry for goods for the
Canadian market.

TRADE OF LEICESTER.—As usual in Christmas week,
bat little has been done in the warehouses. Owing to ,
the caution adopted both by buyers and manufiesurers,
stocks on hand are not heavy, and a fair demand for use-
ful goods is expected. Wools continue firm, with a ten-
dency upwards. Considkrs.ble sales of yarns have been
made under the impression that an advancem2nt must
take place in them, the price ranging so much below the
cost of wool.
BRADFORD, JAN. I.—Wool.—The market opens with
the first day of the year, and we cannot report any de-
gree of buoyancy on the part of the spinners towards
buying, the purchases made two or three weeks back
being beyond their wants for immediate use. The
transactions in the country are not quite so lively.
YARNS.—The year just closed has been one of a very
cheerless character. Throughout the whole period wool
has varied very little, perhaps not more than id to ld
per lb on the extreme quotations. Yarns have fallen to
a price unparalleled in the remembrance of the oldest
engaged in the trade, while wool and labour were not
affected. Although more spindles are in work than in
October, yet the quantity totally idle and others only
partially employed must have its effect in bringing about
a better state of things, for at the present price of wool
and yarns no one can realise cost, and we trust this year
will not far advance before a decided improvement in the
price of yarns is current. PIECES.—The opening of the
year, we are glad to say, is more favourable to the
manufacturers than the one Just closed. The merchants
perhaps never bought less grey cloth than in the three
months just ended, and the dyers have been exceedingly
slack, but we may reasonably expect more animated
doings as the season progresses. There does not appear
to be two opinions about the price of goods, for it is
certain that any change must be for an advance, or the
present groat number of unemployed looms will be in-
creased rather than diminished, small as the stock of
goods throughout the trade may be.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, JAN. 1 —The market this
morning was of a very languid character. New Year's-
day is always a eemi•heliday here; in the morning
rather more than half the, shops, and rather less than
half the warehouse), only opening their doors, whilst in
the afternoon the streets are comparatively deserted, the
places of business closed, and the town assumes a very
quiet Sabbath-like appearance. The Exchange has been
open, but the attendance was very limited. Besides the
usual disposition to inactivity, there is also the fact that
when the America steamer (which arrived hero on Mon-
day) left New York, the news of the French coup d'etat
had not arrived, and this, which is expected to produce
an effect on the cotton market, disposes buyers to hold
back in the hope of effecting purchases on easier terms.
The discovery, at the annual stock-taking in Liverpool,
of an excess of 44000 bales of cotton over the previous
estimates of stock on hand, has also had a slight ten-
dency in the same direction, having already caused
prices to give way there to the extent of *d per lb. For
printing cloths, and the better qualities of shirting, the
sale, so far as it had gone this morning, was at steady
prices; but in other descriptions of cloth, including
madappolams and jacconnets. and in some numbers of
yarn prices were a shade easier.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TINIES.—The ceremony at the Cathedral of Notre
Dame, which combined in one solemnity the com-
mencement of the new year and the commencement
of what may be termed the new reign, was accompa-
nied by all that magnificence of display which is so
well understood by the priests, the military, and the
upholsterers of Paris. To such of the spectators of
this new pageant as cared for anything beyond the
fugitive splendour of the hour, the most striking part
of it must have been the contrastLieetween the scene
before them and the long series of events in which it
forms a part. Upon how many triumphs and how
many dynasties, upon how much of life an how
much of death, upon what endless mutability of
'greatness and of fortune, have the ancient altars and
arches of Notre Dame looked down ! The church
has withheld her incense and her consecrating wafers
from no votaries of power that approached her shrines.
Her Te Deums have pealed alike for every victory in
every cause of the just and of the unj ast ; nor has she
inquire I aught of the fate of those who heveyassed
in rapid succession from the loftiest scenes of earthly
homage to the suffering and degradation of de-
thronement, exile, and defeat. With no disposi-
tion to speak or think lightly of those religious
engagements which constitute the most appro-
priate sanction of the great actions of society and
government, we cannot hold observances sacred which
are only used to gloss over a patent violation of law
and justice, nor is it a palliation of actions so opposed
to the rules of human morality that their authors still
presume to invoke the favour of Heaven. Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte has reached Notre Dame and
the Tuileries. He sees beneath him a nation pros-
trate and subservient to his will. He has been borne
onwards by a tide of events independent, in many
respects, of his own character or abilities. Without
the genius or the extraordinary achievements of his
uncle, he finds himself in a position not very dis-
similar from that which would have descended to him
by the Senatus Consultum of 1804 ; and be com-
mences his irresponsible administration of France at
an age not much inferior to that at which the Emperor
Napoleon closed his career. Thus far everything has
favoured his ambition. The destruction of constitu-
tional monarchy was accomplished not by himself, but
by the RepUblic; the Republic inflicted on the nation j ust
enough of humiliation and terror to induce the French to
hail their deliverer with an unanimity due chiefly to the
sense of their own danger and weakness. Nothing
was wanting to complete the predominant illusion of
the hour. Yet, to the more cool and dispassionate
eyes of the world there is something unreal in this
mock throne, which has risen like the decoration of a
pantomime; something unnatural and artificial in,the
impulse which has precipitated 8,000,000 of men to
declare their faith in a Government whose character
would not be improved if it were better known, and
in institutions chiefly adopted because they are not
known at all. Assuming, however, as it is now our
duty to do, that the late revolution has passed beyond
the reach of our diurnal commentary, and belongs
henceforth to history, we readily acknowledge that
Louis Napoleon is entitled in fairness to be judged by
his future acts, and we wish we could foresee that
those acts are likely to induce us to reverse any por-
tion of the opinions we have recorded on the origin
of his power. Up to the revolution of ,the 2d of De-
cember it was constantly asserted that his vigorous
conceptions and enlightened intentions were
frustrated by the machinations of the Na-
tional Assembly. The responsibility he now
bears is undivided, and he himself assured the
Consultative Commission, on the last day of the year,
that "be hoped to found institutions which respond
at the same time to the democratic instincts of the
nation, and to the universally expressed desire to
have a strong and respected Government; in short,
to create a system which reconstitutes authority
without wounding the feeling of equality, and so to
lay the foundations of the only edifice capable of sup-
porting a wise and beneficent liberty." The value of
these expressions remains to be ascertained by expe-
rience ; for though we are accused by Louis Napo-
leon's partisans of a narrow and ignorant insensibility
to the brilliancy and novelty of the system he is now
about to introduce to the world, we shall suspend our
judgment till such time as its results are made known
to us. In the meanwhile we are not ashamed to con-
fess our incredulity of any new or startling discoveries
in political science. All that we have lately seen bears
a striking resemblance to occurrences as old as the de-
praved empire of later Rome. Much indeed of what is
modern and excellent in social or political improvement
—freedom of trade, the destruction of monopolies,
the right of unlimited testamentary disposition, the
power of association, and many institutions of a phi-
lanthropic character—are new to France, and might
be introduced into her social system with advantage
to the nation at large. But. which of these reforms
can be expected from an arbitrary Government, with-
out the liberty of the press and without the support
of the intelligent classes which is so essential to the
defence of enlightened innovations? The very touch
of despotic power petrifies that vital energy without
which no social changes can be successfully accom-
plished ; and as for the notion that the active and con-
tinual intervention of the State is to provide employ-
ment for the industrious, relief for the poor, and re-
sources for the whole community, that is a delusion
akin to M. Louis Blanc's organization of labour,
which must end in pauperism and ruin. The princi-
ple of equality may indeed be respected, for that
principle is nowhere so consistently applied as in States
where all men are equally dependent on a common
master, and in which one man is exalted that
all others may be equally depressed. But
these are the institutions of Turkey rather
than of France, and it is impossible in a
nation where talent and industry are perpetually
struggling for distinctions of every kind, that society,
should be reduced to the dead level of Oriental barba-
rism. Nay, the very acts of Louis Napoleon, as well
as of the Emperor Napoleon, show that such is not
their policy. Their political councils bear the stamp
of privileged bodies, their influence over the army is
strengthened by the attractions of a military aristo-
cracy, and, though the President may brave the
middle classes, he will neither attack the highest nor
affront the lowest order of the people. The Constitu-
tion will more perfectly disclose the forms by which
the Government is to be conducted, but they are of
secondary importance, since the whole spirit and
policy of the Administration are to be those of Louis
Napoleon himself. We give him credit for a desire
to succeed in the task which he has assumed, since the
duration of his own power must eventually depend on
the satisfaction he may afford to the expectations of
the country. But the promises he has given, the
hopes he has raised, perhaps the notions he has him-
self formed, appear to us to differ widely from the
practical and positive necessities of his position ; and
we fear that the lofty idea of a transcendental empire
will soon turn out to be neither other nor better than
the old devices and oppressions of vulgar despotism.
HERALD.—Louie Napoleon has inaugurated his
new power with Regal, or rather let us say Imperial
splendour. All that remains of public institutions in
France, everything around which there clings an
agreeable association—the Church, the army, the
magistracy, and the municipalities, have been duly
marshalled into a magnificent tableau, of which the
son of Louis, the best of Napoleon's brothers, and the
Emperor's destined heir, forms the main figure,

e that shouldg Louis
Napoleon find himself
able to guide France safely
through the ten years behas assigned himself, Le
would be more willing then than now to fulfil an en-
gagement which be has habituated his mind to read by
the known disposition of the people. The country
which, by the almost universality of its vote, absolves
him now, would absolve him again. Still, it would be
a rash sort of speculation, that which would pretend to
forecast the operation of a mind exposed to the influe
ence of unparalleled circumstances. Hitherto Louis
Napoleon has exhibited unusual mastery over himself
under circumstances of irritating provocation. There
can be no doubt that when the worst construct:
was put upon his motives and conduct—when he
was insulted and snubbed from the tribune of the
Assembly by some of the most trusted leaders of the
majority, and the minority encouraged to mark its
derision—when he was treated as one under a sur-
veillance which was only to terminate at Vincennes,
—there can be no doubt that throughout these tan-
talising circumstances he felt as well aware of the
popular masses of atrength at his disposal as he did on

Wednesday evening at the moment the Consultative
Commission announced to him formally the result of
his appeal to the country. To the five millions and a
half who in 1848 gave their votes to a name, are now
added two millions more to the ruler, of whom they
have all had three years' experience. To himself may
he take the credit of this great manifestation of a
nation's confidence. "What will he do with

it ?" will be - asked by every thinking per-
son in all parts of the civilized world. Some
will attribute good, and others the reverse of
vool intentions. There are those who will
fial shelter for their own sagacity in mixed motives.
Will the man control circumstances, or circumstances
the man? Will he adroitly temporise, and try to
evade and turn difficulties, or yield impulsively to the
first sudden gust of military enthusiasm or popular
passion ? What he has been will he continue to be

—a calm sagacious judge of passkg ev&nts. Used as
he is to reflection on history and politics, tempered
and tried in prison solitude—used to the exercise of
mind, unused to the exercise of arms; at that mature
rrittile-age period of life when habits and tastes are
formed, and passions for unaccustomed adventure not
easily begot—may it not be hoped that his ambition
will be that of the law-giver rather than that of the
conqueror ? Under the cold exterior of that impas-
sible man there lies a deep enthusiasm. That cool head
is not free from mysticism. He believes in his star, and
he has run the course of semi-Socialist reflections, argu-
ing aspirations rather after improvements of society by
moans of better systems than of warlike adventures.
The victories of Napoleon have vanished as the mere
pageantry of history—the Code rests the great solid
memorial of his fame. So far such indications as we
have seen of Louis Napoleon's disposition point to
administration. Having turned his attention long
and gravely to Socialist doctrines, he has discovered
their unsoundness: and their inevitable results in a
subversion of society and irremediable anarchy.
With more doubtful and less certain reasonings, he
has come to equally adverse conclusions as regards
representative institutions. Viewed as a temporary
system and limited expedient, we might be argued
into the propriety of allowing the all-controlling
power with which the French Executive means to
endow itself. Society has received such a shake as
to need perhaps the unshackled exercise over it of a
single arm. French parties are so disorganized and
broken up, and the leading men of the country so
filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, that it
may be the case that at this moment there would not
be the means of getting together a numerous As-
sembly ready to make those sacrifices of personal
feeling to the general tranquillity which the President
and his Government deem to be indispensable. But,
however, constitutional Government, as we understand
it, with its checks and balances, with an independent
chamber, treating, as if a high court of appeal, the
laws sent up by the more impassioned and more de-
pendent representatives of popular constituencies, the
whole kept in proper place by unquestionable autho •
rity—this system, proved by experience to be so well
suited to the present state of society, is one to which
we think France will in calmer times revert as if by
natural impulse. Whether Louis Napoleon means
that the charter which, with the sanction of the
French people, he is about to bestow, limiting very
materially tile scope of Parliamentary privileges as hi-
therto received—whether he means that this shall be
permanent, is more than we can even surmise; nor
need we dwell in conjectures upon the subject, because
his own sagacity may fairly be trusted to meet the exi-
gencies of future requirements. In his present actions
he shows remarkable acquaintance with the character
of the French people. The Parisians are delighted at
seeing the Tuileries thrown open for receptions, which
recal the happy times of Royalty, because, notwith-
standing the unsteadiness of their political principles,
they are, of all people in the world, rendered the most
uncomfortable by a derangement of their social habits.
The name of President of the Republic signifies little,
so long as they have the spectacle, the pomp, the
pageantry, and all the circumstances of a metropolitan
Court. Public show is a necessary of Paris public
life, which even the Provisional Government acknow-
ledged when, instead of Spartan or Roman severity,
they borrowed the ballet dancers of the Opera to fill
parts in Pagan processions, and organized public fetes
more suited to a luxurious empire in its decline than to
a young republic. If power, whatever be its name or
form, must have scenic decorations, better surely the
solemnities of Notre Dame and thsi Tuileries than the
monster reviews of 300,000 National Guards, and the
open-day semi-nudities of the Champs de Mars. In-
,tead, therefore, of seeing the Empire in the New
Year's-day ceremonies of Paris, we rather recognise
certain scenic necessities skilfully adapted to the tastes
of a sight-loving population.
DAILY NEWS.—Ir, is asserted that one of the
reasons of Lord Palmerston's retirement was the de-
mand, or something like a demand, made by a high
member of the Cabinet—not Lord John Russell—of
a personage in the confidence of the Elye6a, to obtain
an assurance from Louis Napoleon that be meant
scrupulously to respect the treaties of Vienna. Could
this be announced at the opening of Parliament, it
would, it was said, be of the best effect. We by no
means wish to give any opinion at present on the
wisdom or the inexpediency of making such a de-
mand. Bat we are compelled to state it, in order to
record the very important fact that such demand was
not complied with. Our contemporary, the Times,
which revealed to the world the fact of the demand,
now admits that it was met by evasion or refusal.
The Times adds that Louis Napoleon is about to send
confidential agents to the four chief Courts which
constitute the Powers of the Congress of Vienna,
in order to sound their opinions on different
subjects, but especially relative to how far the
delimitations of the treaty of Vienna are to be consi-
dered sacred. Our correspondent writes, that it is
M. Persigny who is to proceed to Frankfort, there to
commune with the representatives of the great powers
assembled in the Diet. M. Persigny went upon a
similar errand before. At a time when Prussia was
making head against a hostile league, of which Aus-
tria and Bavaria were the chief members, Louis Na-
poleon sent M. Persigny to Berlin, where it is well
known he made offer of all aid and alliance, provided
he were allowed to take that portion of the Bavarian
Palatinate left to France in the treaty of 1814, but.
taken from France in the treaty of 1815, by way c'.l
punishment for the outburst of Waterloo. This track

a convention that would have deprived her
own Rhenish possessions of their German frontier
and defence. M. Persigny failed, as a Presidential
diplomatist. He is now about to try whether he may
not succeed as an Imperial one. A great deal might
be said on both sides. But for the present we - can
augur nothing but failure and disappointment from
the mission of M. Persigny and of the other Napo-
leonite envoys in their efforts to get the territorial
arrangements of 1815 altered for those of 1814. It is
to be now regretted that the three great Powers have
shown so little respect for that treaty of Vienna
whose decision they affect to regard as sacred.
Russia has done precisely what she pleased with these
treaties, in the case of Poland and of Cracow. The
treaty of Vienna stipulated that German States should
have constitutions, and that certain German cities
should be independent and free. When the Powers
of the East insist on Louis Napoleon rigidly respect-
ing the treaties of Vienna, he can reply, ° In what I
propose I respect them just as much as you have
done yourselves." Should the diplomacy of the
Elysea assume this tone, it would at least not be
weak in its logic, however defective in principle or
honesty.

GAVAZZI AT EXETER HALL.—Last night Father
Gavazzi delivered one of his stirring addresses at Exeter Hall
upon the spiritual and te nporal influences of the Papacy.
The address was listened to with breathless attention, and
elicited constant bursts of enthusiastic applause. It was di-
vided into two parts, and at the close of each a brief inter-
pretation was offered by the Rev. Mr. Rule. At the conclu-
sion of the addresses, which altogether occupied nearly thrte
hours, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed tO the elo-
pent Father Gavazzi, and the proceedings closed.
