THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's ship Sultan, Captain John Weeks,
arrived at Southampton yesterday morning, at 9
o'clock, with dates from Gibraltar, the 16th ;
Cadiz, the 17th ; Lisbon, the 19th ; and Vigo, the
20th inst. With Oporto no communication was
effected, in consequence of bad weather.
The Sultan has made the run from Lisbon to
Southampton, including the stoppage at Vigo, in
four days. She brings 40 passengers, and on
freight 3 packages of specie, 22 casks and 5 cases
of wine, 54 bags of walnuts, 21 frails of garlic, 38
boxes of lemons, 3 baskets of chestnuts, 87 bags of
drugs, 40 bales of wool, 2 casks of oil, 718 boxes
and 227 barrels of grapes, 135 boxes of pomegra-
nates, 32 boxes of raisins, 79 boxes of tomatees,
and 21 packages of sundries.
This steamer was detained in quarantine three
days at Gibraltar, and, after obtaining a clean bill
of health, was admitted to free pratique at Lisbon,
but on airival at Vigo (homeward) a quarantine
of three days was imposed upon the pas-
sengers, although those who came out from
England in the Sultan and landed at Vigo
had been liberated two days. The greatest
annoyance is given to these steamers at the
Spanish ports, where the so-called sanitary arrange-
ments cause great pecuniary benefits to the authori-
ties, arising from the gross impositions which are
practised. By this packet we have Lisbon letters
and papers of the 19th inst. H. M. steam-frigate
Odin, Captain Scott, was the only foreign vessel of
war in the Tagus. The ship Warrior left Lisbon
under sail, on the 15th, for Liverpool, being de-
clared unfit to proceed to Australia. The Mary,
Captain Millard, from Liverpool for California, put
into Lisbon for repairs on the 16th. On the 18th
the Rattler steamer arrived from Liverpool, having
been off Oporto-bar, whence she was ordered to
Lisbon, in consequence of the bill of health of the
Portuguese Consul, stating the existence of cholera
among German emigrants at au hospital, the port
and town of Liverpool being otherwise free. It was
expected that the Rattler would be admitted to
pratique, and return to Oporto in a couple of days,
when she would have completed eight days from
Liverpool, voyage and quarantine observation in-
cluded. The Waterwitch, belonging to the same
line as the Rattler, had previously been very badly
treated at Oporto, and the English Minister at Lis-
bon had supported the agent's claim for losses
consequent upon her having been illegally sent to
Lisbon, whence she was only able to return to
Oporto on the 15th. _ _ _

-Our correspondent was assured when the Sultan
left Lisbon, that Liverpool steamers and their pas-
sengers would, with bills of health similar to the
Rattler's, be placed upon the same footing (eight
days' voyage and observation) as the Peninsular
steamers from Southampton.
In politics Portuguese affairs present no feature
of novelty. The Ministry maintained its ground
in public opinion by the undeniable tolerance of
its internal Administration, and the entire absence
of any other party held by the Portuguese capable
of doing better.

THE MOST CERTAIN PREVENTION OF CHOLERA ETER

DISCOVERED.
THE BEST and CHEAPEST DISIN-
FECTING, FLUID is CREW'S IMPROVED CHLORIDE
of ZINC, for the purification of Dwelling-houses Stables, Dog Ken-
nels, Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, Water-closets, &c. • the Disin-
fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of
Contagion.

ChlOride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and puttying agent, is
now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its
application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it has
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use; to obviate tkis
obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and purifying
agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W.
Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen-
trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price.
It is sold by all Chemists and Shippin, Agents in the United King-
'tom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each ; in pints, Is. ; half
pints, 6d. each ; and in larger vessels at tis. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
and use. Concentrated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with
200 times its quantity of water.
Orders executed by the Sole Agents, Messrs. Drew, Heyward, and
Barron, Bash-lane, Cannon-street.
Manufactured at H. G. GRAY'S, Commercial Wharf, Mile End,

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The following testimonia, is another proof of the great efficacy
of this medicine :

" Winchmore Hill, Mikllesex, April 16, 1851.

" Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from
taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you
and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of
nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion,
but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills,
I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
',etter state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
we know of nothing to equal it.

"I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
THOMAS PROVINCE,

To Mr. T. Prout, 229, Strand, London.

This excellent Family Pill is a'meciicine of long-tried efficacy for
,;orrecting an disorders of the stomach and bowels, and is a
pleasant, safe, easy aperient ; they unite the recommendation of a
mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re-
straint of diet or confinement during their use.

Peace or war ? That is the momentous ques-

lion that now must be determined ; and the deci_
Sic% rests upon the mere volition of a single man
man intoxicated with absolute power,
reckless of the misery his conduct may inflict,
not only on his immediate followers, but on hu-

inanity in general. It is a fearful responsibility
thaic, now rests on the shoulders of the Northern
Despot, and should he, in carrying out his
/Jolley of aggrandisement, or through a silly
Yielding to pride, let loose the horrors of war
throughout, fearful must be the retribution that
Will fall, not only on himself, but on all by whom
he is aided and abetted in his nefarious projects.
This day, the time allowed for the evacuation
of ther..rincipalities expires. This day the Otto-
Will employ forceable means to expel the
aucip.ei
ous invader from his dominions ; and who
earl censure the

at the risk of alienating the affections of his

England and France cannot now be suri-
ficed to gratify the crotchets of any Minis-
ter. The eyes of Europe—of the civilized
world now rest on the Coalition Ministry—and
WcYa betide them if they are unequal to the

'of character that still remains to their country.
Diplomacy has totally and unequivocally failed.
The negotiations that were so long persisted

comes us to abandon the vacillating and tern-
Nrising policy that has already heaped so much
discredit on our name. It is said that addi-

THE MINT IN AUSTRALIA.

Mr. BASS wished to ask the Secretary to the Trea-
sury a question with regard to the gold coinage. Last
night, the noble lord the member for the city of London,
stated the Government were disposed to encourage the
establishment of mints 1n Australia, and as there was
great curiosity manifested out of doors upon this sub-
ject, he wishel to ask what particular colony Govern-
ment were disposed to make that concession to.
Mr. WILSON said the Government had come to the
conclusion that this was a question which much more
depended upon the Colonies themselves than the Govern-
ment at home. Government however were disposed to
afford every facility in their power for establishing mints
that the colonies might require, but as yet only Sydney
had applied for assistance in that way. The colonists
had sent over 10,000/. for the purchase of the necessary
machinery of a mint, and Government are now engaged
in seeing that the money was properly laid out. With
regard to the other colonies, Government were quite
ready, upon the colonists consenting to bear the whole
expense and to undertake that no part of the cost should
fall upon this country, to consent to the establishment
of mints under snch due regulations as should secure the
use of metal of the proper quality and value, so that
there should be no depreciation in the coin. (Hear.)

act does apply to all cost-book companies wh en eir,,ep;

" It is a common notion among shareh

there is no need of giving any notice to the

being freed from all future liability in ref spec 'the
