CRYSTAL PALACE.

The Dramatic College Fete is always one of the
great events of the year at the Crystal Palace. This
season the ladies and gentlemen of the corps dra-
matique have set to work with a hearty good will
to amuse their patrons.
Foremost among the amusements will be the
" Fancy Fair," for which nearly forty ladies, the
leading members of the dramatic profession, will
hold stalls. The Fair will be opened at 12 o'clock
to-morrow by proclamation of the Herald, Mr. F.
Romer.

The great concert room at the Palace will be en-
closed and fitted up as a Theatre, with scenery and
appointments. In it will be played what is humour-
ously described as a" New Sensation Drama in the
style of Old Bartholomew Fair," alternately with a
new Burlesque by Mr. H. J. Byron, entitled .4 The
Rosebud of Stinginguettle Farm, or the villainous
Squire and the virtuous Villager," (bang as domes-
tic a drama as can be done in a quarter of an hour.)and

played on Tuesday and Thursday.
The Annual Drawing for the Prizes of the Art

occasion some new and charming original works by
the most distinguished artists. Among the presen-

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, July 16.—There
has been a fair demand for cotton to-day, sales amounting
to 10,000 bales-7,000 included on speculation and for ex-
port. Prices of American are id. to id. per lb. higher;

capital has long . .
b..ought each spncies of ml,nainc-
lure to the point that is attended with the minimum
of expenditure, either of money or of manual aittn-
lion. The measure of the greatness of a nation is
to be found in the amount of the products of the
whole world it can bring to its shores for the en-
joyment of its people, and it is in this respect that
Great Britain occupies the highest place, while
America, if the plans of her rulers can be supposed
capable of fulfiin3eut, is destined henceforth to oc-
cupy the lowest. Of course, how ever, it is plain
to every one that the insanity and ignorance now
displayed will bring its own cure. A community,
like individuals, may legislate or plot contrivances
for t vil to • °there, but the results in the moral
government of the world can merely be good
to others and evil to themselves. The American
theory can scarcely be statea
except in sentences
that sound like lunacy. They imagine that,
although the country has always been short of
labour, they can now- direct two-thirds of their in-
deetrflo- mills, forges, or other --manufantories,
and yet continue to raise the same amount of grain
and other provisions that they succeeded in produc-
ing before their labour was so diverted. And this
result is to be achieved, not by any sudden disco-
very of labour-saving materials, but simultaneously
with a tariff and a currency which impose an
enormous adf.itional cost upon every instrument of
husbandry they may require, as well as upon the
charge for the capital employed. Moreover, the
wheat and provisions so produced are still to find a
profitable sale in foreign markets, although the
freight on their exportation must be doubled, be-
cause if America is to import nothing but gold it
return, the vessels that carry on her trade must sail
to her ports in ballast. This is a simple acid literal
description of the aspirations of her statesmen and
the belief of her people, and it is in such a manner
that, according to the words of their most popular
journal, they are to inaugurate a commercial revo-
lution " which will result in impoierishing Europe
and enriching themselves." A country in such a
state of intoxication presents the most painful spec-
tacle ever yet obtruded upon other communities,
possessed of a sense of human dignity, and the only
relief to the picture lies in the contemplation
that the agonising symptoms of returning sober-
ness are likely to be speedy and sharp, in propor-
tion to the occasion. A prohibition of the export of
specie is all that is wanted to complete the vertigo
of wild conceit by destroying even the last vestige
of credit from abroad. While goods are being
smuggled in, the gold in payment for them will be
smuggled out, and the United States will then not
have a single transaction with the outside world,
except through the corrupting agency of whole
armies of contrabandiats. That this trade, however,
will be sufficient to drain her of every coin she pos-
sesses, and to bring her " demand notes" to the
level of assignats is not to be doubted. Already,
by the practices of General Butler, her civil war in
its military features has been made to rival the
worst chapters of the French Revolution, and, an
matters are now going on, its financial results also
promise to harmonise with those of that period.

Extract from the " Official Catalogue of the In-
ternational London Exhibition of 1862"—" Boyer, sole
manufacturer of the eau de melisse des Games, No. 14, rue
Taranne, Faris :"—The centennial repute of the eau de
melisse des Camas has given rise to a host of imitations of
this beneficial cordial. The monks who prepared it never
revealed the secret of its composition, and M. Boyer, their
successor, by authentic documents, now alone possesses the
original receipt. All the compounds which are sold•under
this denomination may have the melissa plant for a basis,
but this balm is only one of the elements of which the
genuine Carmelite water of Melissa is composed ; most of
the other ingredients, and these the most essential, depend
on his making up, this being the exclusive secret of M.
Boyer, who never confides its composition to any other
hands than his own. If we are to believe a very popular
legend, and one that passes as probable, from the most
serious researches of medical and pharmaceutical science,
the Carmelite water must have had its origin in the early
history of the Gauls ; and the Carmelites, who freely gave
themselves out both as the disciples of the prophet Elijah
and the descendants of the ancient Druids, might have in
a direct manner inherited from the latter the secret of
its composition. What is most positive is, that for more
than two centuries the use of this cordial balm is net
only popular in the highest degree, but chat all the trea-
tises on medical science and all professional men have ac-
knowledged and proclaimed its tonic, anti-spasmodic, and
_
anti-apoplectic qualities. Royal letters patent had, untilt,
1789, maintained its property and exclusive management,
as belonging to the Barefooted Carmelites of the rue do
Vaugirard, grounding, on every occasion, the decisiontsno j
ar-
rived at by the King in council on the report
rendered
of h
water of ya
acoPaprY
Commission of Medicine, which the Carmeliteabj
superior
Me-
lissa was by its properties incem
to those composed according to the ceia, and that
its utility was hilly proved. WhenPb the Revolution took
possession of the convent in the rue de Vaugirard, the
monks who survived their order purchased of the State the
exclusive privilege of working out this most precious is t
cor-
dial-balm, constituted therase
Ives as a secular and c(lnruel-
cial company,
and so established themselves at No. j 1, nic,,
Taranne, where the last of them died in 1831, after having
transmitted all his rights to the predecessor of M. Boyer,
who
is now. become sole proprietor and manufacturer of
the Carmelite water of Melissa. M. Boyer has col-
lected in an interesting memoir all the documents
1 concerning the history of this cordial-elixir, which
_w
had been so often and in vain sought to be cJunterfeited,
and which establish his rights and prove its hygienic and
medicinal qualities, and which the authors of contemporary
s e
proofsat that attendant
can on
b thee useve of the
medicine have thus condensed in an extract published in
CthaermilemlitiatewuartZ is T

producer nof its
the use
of which is continually s.ugnaenting for upwards of two cen-
turies must produce undoubted utility; and, in fact, in how
many Cases has it not been employed as a tonic and anti-
spasmodic? In ailicult I:l_ipstions, in disorders of the
stomach, in nervous comnlathts, in weaknesses from various
causes and kinds, the Carmelite water of Melissa succeeds
perfectly well. It is not a medicine, and yet it effects as
much good as the best of those dispensed as such. On this
account it would be justly entitled to be recommended,even
if time had not consecrated its use." Purchasers should
pay the strictest attention to the stamp and signature, both
on the boxes and the bottles, in order to b 3 assured of their
being genuine, and as coming from the laboratory of M.
Boyer, of 14, rue Taranne, Paris. Depot in London at Mr.
M. A. Whitburn's, 164, Regent-street.
