staff. The number who attended training and exercise
in 1858 (including the permanent staff), was 51,561.
NOTTINGIIA2I TRADE.—There is, to a slight extent,
some improvement perceptible in the hosiery branches of
our trade, chiefly owing to purchases for the American
and Australian markets, both of whiCh present a com-
forting aspect of revival, and are the sources now chiefly
to be looked to for encouragement. The home trade is
dull; and German bUsiness totally disjointed by the war.
The reiteration by the morning papers of the fact of
Prussia having sided with the Czar is, however, by the.
best informed Germans, treated as resting on the vacil-
lating conduct of the King, who is nearly connected
with the Imperial Crown, and whoQe influence it is anti-
cipated will be overruled by that' of the constitutional
party. • There is very little lace:business doing at 'all,
except in Borne oilhe fancy brancheer over which the
season,desOite the March winds, seems decidedly to
exert the beneficial influence of fashion.—Notts Guardian.

[AavElvristsiniT.]—A. most interesting recovery from a vast COM-
Vication of di.ielses, without the aid of medicine, is recorded in the
following letter : - -

" Bridgehouse, Frimley, 3d April, 1854.
"Grateful for the benefit I have derived from Da Barry's Hove.
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 ease is an extra a-linary one, and as it may benefit of :er 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 oat
upwards of a Wonsan -I pounds at the chemist's and doctor's. 1 have
actually worn out two medical men during my ailments without find-
ing 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 Arabica, which, Heaven be
praised, restored me to a state of health which 1 long since despaired
of attaining. .oly lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are alltright,
my hearing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquain-
tances.--T san, respectfully, "JAMES ROBERT 3, Wood Me-chant."
