DEATH OF MR. MUSGRAVE BRISCO, LATH M.P.—
It is with feelings of regret we record the demise of this
gentleman, who expired on the 9th inst., at Cogburst,
in Sussex, aged 63. The deceased for many years repre-
sented the borough of Hastings in Parliament, on Tory
principles, and stood many hard contests, indeed we
may add expensive ones.
STRAND THEATRE.—The entertainments at this little
theatre continue highly attractive. In addition to the
revival of the historical drama of Nell Gwynn, a troop of
Zulu Kafirs have been engaged, whose performances,
heightened by the beautiful scenery painted by Mr. C.
Marshall, excite much surprise. A very pretty ballet,
and the comic drama of The Three Turkish Razor Grinders
follows, in which Mr. Courtney and Miss F. Beaumont
sustain the principal parts with much ability.
MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Among the busts
of celebrated characters which decorate the Wellington
chamber is one just added of the gallant Lieutenant-
General Sir Archibald Mac Lean, K.C.B. This bust has
been executed by Mr. F. Tussaud, and is highly credit-
able to the artist, both as regards the execution and per-
fect resemblance to this well-known and distinguished
officer. Mr. F. Tussaud is the son of Mr. J. Tussaud,
so long known for the active and energetic exertions
continually displayed in the progress of this excellent
exhibition.

[ApvEirrisamENT.J—A most Interesting recovery from a vast et:n-
plcation of diseases, without the aid of medicine, is recorded in the
following letter :
" Bridgchouse, Frimley, 3d April, 1854.

. .
"Grateful for the benefit I have derived from Du Barry's Reva.
lenta Arabica Food, I feel It my duty to express to you my unfeigned
thanks for the invariable kindness I have met with at your hands.
My case Is an extraordinary one, and as it may benefit other suf-
ferers I think it but right to place its details at your disposal. I
have suffered these 33 years continually from diseased lungs, spitting
of blood, liver derangements, deafness, singing in the ears, consti-
pation, debility, shortness of breath and cough, and during that
period taken so much medicine that I can safely say I have laid out
upwards of a thousand pounds at the chemist's and doctor's. I have
actually worn out two medical men during my ailments without find-
log any improvement in my health. Indeed I was in utter despair,
and never expected to get over it, when I was fortunate enough to
become acquainted with your Revalenta Arab:ea, which, Heaven be
praised, restored me to a state of health which long since despaired
of attaining. My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are all right,
my hearing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquain-
tances.—l am, respectful*, "JAMES ROBERTS, Wood Merchant."
