JOZE.AU'S COPAHINE-MEGE, or Saocharatt,
C kPSULES, approved by the Frsacia College of Physicians,
successfully administered in the Palls and London Hospitals. and
acknowledged by them to be the best remedy for the cure of
certain diseases (see " Lancet " 6th Nov., 1852.) Price, per 100,
48. 6d.; 50, 2s. 9d.—To be had of the Inventor,, Gabriel Jozeau,
French Chemist, 49, Haymarket, London, whose name is printed on
the GoVeniment stamp ; and all the principal chemists.

The capture of these vessels hat already been made public.
Their crews, who'were in no way annoyed at• their capture
'tyke handed over to Sir Chdrles Napier to be 'disposed of'.
The crew of the Carl Magnus; in particular, expressed their
joy.at being.taken, It is said the object of bringing the prizes
to Hull is, if possible, to find' a Market for them. A fine
Russian barque,.the Alexandra, 'which arrived here with a
cargo of linseed,, has been sold: •
TIIE RUSSIAN PRIZE 'AT Coin.—Tile Russian prize, brought
into Queenstown on Saturday by the Eliza, revenue cruiser,
is named the Argo, Captain Stannam, of Ulabourg, of Ula-
bourg, Finland, from tuba, with a cargo Of molasses, bound
to Queenstown, for• orders. The cargo on board is British
property, and, as the vessel sailed before the time, specified
for the cleparture_of Russian ships in order to exempt them
from seizure by British cruisers, it is supposed that the Rus-
sian captain will be suffered to sail without detention, or
will, more probably, dispose of his ship iu Queenstown. On
the rumour being circulated that a Russian prize was being
bl•ought into harbour, crowds of people went down to the
-beach to see an enemy's ship being brought into Cork har-
'boar, a sight which has not been witnessed for over a period
of 40 years.• The crew are at present on board, and the
revenue cruiser by which the Argo was boarded lies close
alongside. .
THE STEAM GUNBOAT • FLOTIL4A.--YOSLETCIay, . the naval
rendezvous on Tower-hill 'was besieged with young
men .and lads anxious to obtain employment in the
steam gunboats fitting for the Baltic. The walls at the
eascend of the metropolis are covered with placards inviting
seamen, landsmen, and boys who have been accustomed to
river or boat work to enter- for this service, Several fine
athletic' young fellows were accepted, and having been ex-
amined and pronounced fit by the medical officer, were at
once sent on board the Crocodile, to be drafted to their
respective vessels. The Pigmy, Lieut. Hunt, obtained the
largest number, but as gun-boat service is a favourite with
" blue jackets," owing to the probability of their obtaining a
goodly share of prizes, the manning of twenty or thirty such
vessels' would not be so difficult as to complete the ship's
company of a single line-of-battle ship.
