[ADVERTISIMENT].—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pill's
the most effectual remedies for the gout and rheumatism.
__Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Wyborn, drug-
gist, Eton, dated April 26, 1852 To Professor Hol-
loway. Sir,—A case has lately come under my notice
which I think should be publicly known. It is that of
a poor man, who suffered so dreadfully from chronic
rheumatism, that he lost the use of one side, and endured
incessant pain. He was under different medical treat-
ment, and at Westminster Hospital the faculty pro-
nounced him incurable. However, this was not the
case, for by the use of your ointment and pills be ku
been restored to health and strength."—gold by all

THE SEARCH AFTER FRANKLIN.

The report of Dr. Rae upon the traces of Franklin's
Expedition furnishes another instance of the sad results
of the neglect of the advice of members of our profession
by men in power. Ever since 1847, Dr. King has urged
upon successive Governments, with a pertinacity only to
be excused by the humane desire to save the devoted
band of Arctic heroes, that the expeditions sent by the
Admiralty were sent in a wrong direction, and that they
should take the very course which would have led them
upon the exact snot where Dr. Rae's intelligence would
lead us to believe the bones of our missing countrymen
remain. In 1847 he wrote to Lord Grey that the Great
Fish River might be the road to the spot where Frank-
lin was to be found. Two years after, several months
before the spring of 1850—the spring when the Es-
quimaux are said to have seen the forty English--
he besieged the Admiralty with applications which proved
fruitless. Here is a sentence from one of his appeals
" It would be the happiest moment of my life if their
Lordships would allow me to go by my old route, the
Great Fish River, to attempt to save human life a second
time on the shores of the Polar Sea.
Though rather out of the scope of a medical journal,
the editor of the Medical Times devoted a leading
article in 1849 to an advocacy of Dr. King's plan °f
going down the Fish River in search of Franklin. The
time will come when such facts as these will convince
even the most obstinate of Government officials that the
advice of medical men cannot be disregarded without
public loss.—Medical Times.

TtIE BRIGADE OF FOOT GUARDS.
WINDSOR, Feb. 11.—The adjutant arrived from Lon-
don last night with definitive orders for the marching
and sailing of the second battalion of Scots Fusilier
Guards, now in garrison, by which some of the arrange-
ments contemplated yesterday have been altered. In-
stead of 350 men being draughted from this battalion
and marched direct to the port of embarcation, the
whole of the battalion will march from the Sheet-street
barracks, on Tuesday morning, and proceed by South-
Western Railway to London, where 800 effective men
will be made up from the battalions of Scots Fusiliers.
The first battalion of Coldstream Guards will march from
London to Chichester, where it will make up the re-
quired number to 800 men from the second battalion.
The three battalions of Grenadier Guards will furnish
one battalion of 1,000 strong, and thus complete the
brigade of Guards for service in Turkey. The Coldstreams
will sail from Portsmouth, and the Grenadiers and Fusi-
liers from Gravesend and Plymouth respeetively,
on Saturday next, for Malta, where the whole of the
British contingent will rendevous previous to taking
active service in the East. It was supposed that three
or four companies of the Fusilier Guards would be left
in the infantry barracks, as was the case when the
greater portion of the Grenadiers were sent to London
at the opening of the Great Exhibition, but it is under-
stood that the Fusiliers will not be replaced here either
by another battalion of Guards or by a regiment of the
line. It is said that the infantry barracks will be closed
for a time, and that the Ist Life Guards will mount
guard at the Castle and at Frogmore. It is also ru-
moured, that when the out-pensioners of Chelsea Hos-
pital are embodied, a sufficient number of them to per-
form the Castle duties will occupy the barracks.

BA.NICRUPTCY COURT-(THIS DAY).

(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
There was no business before the court this morning
of the slightest interest.
IA FRAUDULENT BANKRUPT.--IN RE HENRI JACKSON.
In this case the bankrupt, until lately, carried on
business as a linendraper, at Eton, and absconded a few
days since, and it is suspected that he had previously
made away property of considerable value. A warrant
has been issued for his apprehension, and Mr. Johnstone,
the messenger of the court, and Messrs. Forrester, the
City officers, are busily engaged in tracing the fugitive
and the property. A large reward has been offered for
his apprehension.
London, England, 1854-02-13

FRANCE.

The Moniteur publishes a report to the Emperor
from Marshal Saint Arnaud, Minister of War, on
the purchases of wheat which he was authorised
by decree to make abroad for the army, in order
not to increase the dearness of corn in the French
markets. From this report it appears that 600,000
quintals of wheat, or nearly 700,000 hectolitres (the
hectolitre is rather more than 21 English bushels),
have been purchased abroad-300,000 quintals of
them in London ; that notwithstanding the high
price of corn, the price of the kilogramme of
bread obtained from the foreign wheat will not
exceed 28 centimes for 1853, and 32 for 1854 ;
and that compared to what the expense would
have been if the wheat had been purchased
in France, the total saving will be 6,000,000 f. at
least. The Minister concludes his report by prais-
ing in high terms the ability and discreetness with
which the purchases were effected.
The Moniteur Belge publishes the decrees of the
King of the Belgains by which Prince Napoleon is
nominated grand cross of the order of Leopold,
and the officers who accompanied him are nomi-
nated to inferior grades in the same order. The
decree relative to the Prince says that the order is
conferred on him as a public mark of his Majesty's
friendly sentiments.

THE LONDON BANKS.

The subjoined representation to the bankers of Lon-
don has been prepared in consequence of the intention
advertised by the Bank of England to commence busi-
ness on and after the Ist of March at 10 a.in,, instead of
9, as heretofore. In all banking establishments the
hour between 9 and 10 is almost wasted, and it was a
considerate step on the part of the Bank of England to
propose to do away with a needless attendance. It is
evident, however, from the signatures attached to the
present document, representing a body of the largest
traders in the city, tha, the private bankers will not be
able to follow the example, unless—which is scarcely
probable—they can devise some arrangement to meet
the requirements of this influential class of customers :

" The undersigned hear with surprise and regret that it
is proposed to delay the opening of the London banks
until 10 o'clock; instead of 9 o'clock as hitherto.
" They beg their respective bankers to reconsider this
subject, as, although it is true but few checks are pre-
sented before 10 o'clock, yet those few are of the greatest
importance ; apd the delay that must ensue in tho pay-
ment of dutie.s and otherwise from such an alteration
must prove prejudicial to the commercial community.

SPAIN.
The Madrid Gazette of the 6th, contains a long
account of a grand religious ceremony which had
been celebrated at the church of Atocha on behalf
of the society, established by royal decree some
time ago, "for purchasing the little children whom
the savages of Australia destined for death under
different pretexts." No other journal appeared on
the 6th, that day being Monday.
A letter gives the following account of the recent
arrest of a band of conspirators :—" The govern-
ment having learned some days ago that several
democratic agents had arrived from the provinces,
with the view of concerting with the ringleaders of
the capital, caused their movements to be watched.
Reports from the agents of police gave reason to
believe that these men were engaged in a serious
conspiracy. In consequence, the local authorities
yesterday proceeded to arrest them in a house in
which they had assembled to deliberate ; they
were 14 in number. Some important papers were
seized, together with some poignards and some
large clasp-knives. These men had organised a
revolutionary club, to which they gave the name
of ' Society of Mines, or Philip's Friends.'
Amongst the conspirators arrested are M. Ordax
Avecilla, M. Rivero, M. Riego, and others who
are well known for their violent democratic
opinions. At nightfall the whole band was con-
veyed to one of the prisons. A judicial inves-
tigation has been commenced."

DENMARK AND SWEDEN.
The Dagbladen, a Danish journal, states that
Russia has refused to recognise the declaration
of neutrality, and has, on the contrary, in-
sisted that Sweden and Norway shall keep their
ports closed against the belligerent powers. The
Swedish Government has, says this journal, replied
by a refusal, and the Danish Government has done
the same. Large armaments are being prepared
in Norway and Sweden. It will be remembered
that the Flgveposten, of Copenhagen had stated
that Russia had accepted the declaration of neu-
trality.
The Faedrelandit writes from Copenhagen, under
date of the 31st Jan., " that orders have been
given to prepare three frigates, three corvettes,
three brigs, and five war steamers for immediate
active service."
It is the intention of the Swedish Government to
garrison Gottland. with 15,000 men, and to as-
semble a second army corps on the western coast.
A letter from Copenhagen of Feb. 5 says—" Yes-
terday the Eastern question came before the Folke-
thing upon the presentation of a bill for authoris-
ing a new levy of seamen. Several speakers pressed
the Government to explain its reasons for the re-
cent declaration of neutrality. The Government
Alin ed to talk of foreign politics, and the bill was
adopted ; but no one appears to believe the Danish
neutrality can be maintained in case of war."
London, England, 1854-02-13

HOLLAND.

---
By a telegraphic despatch from the Hague, dated
Saturday, we learn that the Governments of France
and England have informed the Government of
Holland that the commercial flag of neutral states
will be considered as that of a friendly power.

EGYPT.

-
A telegraphic despatch from Alexandria, of the
24th, announces that the exportation of corn has
been definitely permitted, but that transports were
scarce and the freight high.
Three Prussian vessels of war had arrived there.
A letter of the 23d January gives some details
which are not devoid of interest. Everywhere in
Egypt, as in Turkey, the inhabitants were making
voluntary gifts to the Sultan, both :n money and
in kind. At Alexandria, Beyrout, Cairo, and
other large towns, the sums given amounted to a
large total, the Europeans taking a large part in
these acts of patriotic generosity. At Cairo, the
women of the harems of the principal Mussulman
inhabitants had distinguished themselves by the
importance of their gifts. Amongst other things,
they had given a large quantity of linen and lint,
for the surgeons at the seat of war, and in many
instances jewels were sold to buy medicaments.
The Egyptian officers who are with the army of the

LADY PALMERSTON'S ASSEMBLY.

On Saturday evening Viscountess Palmerston euter•-
tained a select party at dinner (the noble viscount being
engaged to dine with the Speaker of the House of Com-
mons), at her ladyship's mansion Carlton-gardens. Later
in the evening her ladyship threw open her saloons for
the reception of visitors, and was honoured with the
attendance of a brilliant and numerous circle of the aris-
tocracy and beau monde. The majority of the foreign
ministers and the secretaries of the legation were pre.
sent. The party separated at an early hour.

THE BOSTON MURDER.--ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OP
GUILT.—A, witness named Gooderson, who resided on
Witham-green, but now in Falcon-court, heard the pri-
soner Plummer Simpson, about six or eight months
ago, use threatening language towards a female on
Witham-green, where the deceased resided, and say
that "He would serve her (the deceased) out." It has
also been discovered that the prisoner was seen running
away when the deceased was shrieking for help, and
that when he was accosted and asked what was the
matter, he said (looking, extremely pale and agitated)
44 Oh nothing." The prisoner, since his committal to
Lincoln Castle, has. refused to allude to or converse with
any one on the suhmt of the murders

SIR C. P. RONEY.

The Hull Packet of Saturday states that Sir Cusack
P. Roney has made an arrangement to meet the mer-
chants of Hull on 'Change on Monday morning on the
subject of the present peculiarly inviting prospects in
relation to the subject of emigration in Canada, and
also to show that in the event of hostilities preventing
Baltic timber coming to this country an inexhaustible
supply can be had from British North America.

THE LONDON BANKS.

The subjoined representation to the bankers of Lon-
don has been prepared in consequence of the intention
advertised by the Bank of England to commence busi-
ness on and after the Ist of March at 10 a.tn., instead of
9, as heretofore. In all banking establishments the
hour between 9 and 10 is almost wasted, and it was a
considerate step on the part of the Bank of England to
propose to do away with a needless attendance. It is
evident, however, from the signatures attached to the
present document, representing a body of the largest
traders in the city, that the private bankers will not be
able to follow the example, unless—which is scarcely
probable—they can devise some arrangement to meet
the requirements of this influential class of customers :
" The undersigned hear with surprise and regret that it
is proposed to delay the opening of the London banks
until 10 o'clock, instead of 9 o'clock as hitherto.
" They beg their respective bankers to reconsider this
subject, as, although it is true but few checks are pre-
sented before 10 o'clock, yet those few are of the greatest
importance ; and the delay that must ensue in the pay-
ment of duties and otherwise from such an alteration
must prove prejudicial to the commercial community.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Sight and Hearing The
Royal Exhibition, 1851 Extraordinary Powerful
Munich German Glass Telescopes, 39, Albemarle-
street, Piccadilly. Observe opposite the York
Hotel. The Royal Exhibition. - A valuable, newly-
invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,
the size of a walnut, by which a person can be
seen and known one mile and a half distant ; they
answer every purpose on the race-course, at the opera
houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most important
invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 33 inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket.
and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power; an object can he clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles
distant. Deafness—New Discovery—The Organic Vi-
brator, an extraordinary powerful and newly-invented
instrument, for Deafness, entirely different from all
others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been,
or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the
Mlle colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist.
ante that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarla-street,
hcosailly. Observe, opposite the York Rotel

HOLLAND.

By a telegraphic despatch from the• Hague, dated
Saturday, we learn that the Governments of France
and England have informed the Government of
Holland that the commercial flag of neutral states
will be considered as that of a friendly power.

~EGYPT.

A telegraphic despatch from Alexandria, of the
24th, announces that the exportation of corn has
been definitely permitted, but that transports were
scarce and the freight high.
Three Prussian vessels of war bad arrived there.
A letter of the 23d January gives some details
which are not devoid of interest. Everywhere in
Egypt, as in Turkey, the inhabitants were making
voluntary gifts to the Sultan, both :n money and
in kind. At Alexandria, Beyrout, Cairo, and
other large towns, the sums given amounted to a
large total, the Europeans taking a large part in
these acts of patriotic generosity. At Cairo, the
women of the harems of the principal Mussulinau
inhabitants had distinguished themselves by the
importance of their gifts. Amongst other things,
they had given a large quantity of linen and lint,
for the surgeons at the seat of war, and in m any
instances jewels were sold to buy medicaments.
The Egyptian officers who are with the army of the
Danube have written home to their families, speak-
ing in high terms of the manner in which the
Turkish Government treated them.
London, England, 1854-02-13

SPAIN.
The Madrid Gazette of the 6th, contains a long
account of a grand religious ceremony which had
been celebrated at the church of Atocha on behalf
of the society, established by royal decree some
time ago, "for purchasing the little children whom
the savages of Australia destined for death under
different pretexts." No other journal appeared on
the 6th, that day being Monday.
A letter gives the following account of the recent
arrest of a band of conspirators :—" The govern;
ment having learned some days ago that several
democratic agents had arrived from the provinces,
with the view of concerting with the ringleaders of
the capital, caused their movements to be watched.
Reports from the agents of police gave reason to
believe that these men were engaged in a serious
conspiracy. In consequence, the local authorities
yesterday proceeded to arrest them in a house in
which they had assembled to deliberate ; they
were 14 in number. Some important papers were
eized, together with some poignards and some
large clasp-knives. These men had organised a
revolutionary club, to which they gave the name
of Society of Mines, or Philip's Friends.'
Amongst ,the conspirators arrested are M. Ordax
Avecilla, M. Rivci o, M. Riego, and others who
are well known for their violent democratic
opinions. At nightfall the whole band was con-
veyed to one of the prisons. A judicial inves-
tigation has been commenced."

DENMARK AND SWEDEN.
The Dagbladen, a Danish journal, states that
Russia has refused to recognise the declaration
of neutrality, and has, on the contrary, in-
sisted that Sweden and Norway shall keep their
ports closed against the belligerent powers. The
Swedish Government has, says this journal, replied
by a refusal, and the Danish Government has done
the same. Large armaments are being prepared
in Norway and Sweden. It will be remembered
that the Flyveposten of Copenhagen had stated
that Russia had accepted the declaration of neu-
trality.
The Faedrelandit writes from Copenhagen, under
date of the 31st Jan., " that orders have been
given to prepare three frigates, three corvettes,
three brigs, and five war steamers for immediate
active service."

It is the intention of the Swedish Government to
garrison Gottland with 15,000 men, and to as-
semble a second army corps on the western coast.
A letter from Copenhagen of Feb. 5 says—" Yes-
terday the Eastern question came before the Folke-
thing upon the presentation of a bill for authoris-
ing a new levy of seamen. Several speakers pressed
the Government to explain its reasons for the re-
cent declaration of neutrality. The Government
declined to talk of foreign politics, and the bill was
adopted ; but no one appears to believe 'the Danish
neutrality can be maintained in case of war."

SOLDIERS AND SHAVING.-It is 60 years since that
Englishmen were only known in Central Asia as eocen-
trio and insane barbarians, who, wherever and whenever
they had a chance, cut off horses' tails and men's beards
without mercy, for which they held by all the "true
believers" in greater abhorrence than the fire devotees
of India, or the devil worshippers of Kurdistan.
Some yiars since, in a lucid interval, common sense
and humanity cured our countrymen of their former
propensity, and their noble animals were permitted
immunity for their "fly flappers." This insanity for
years past has clung with determined tenacity to the
old gentlemen of the British army. No sooner is a new
adjutant-general appointed than he issues a new order
on " hair." The man who mounts a horse is permitted
to grow it ; the man who pads the hoof is ordered to
scrape it off from the tip of his ear to the tip of his nose.
It is reported that 15,000 of us are about to accompany
40,000 of our brave Gallic brothers-in-arms to Turkey ;
and only fancy the 15,000 turning out every morning at
gun-fire to make faces in bits of looking-glass, while the
other 40,000 are cleaning their Mini 6 rifles and laughing
at them ; for I grieve to say there still exist many marti-
nets in the British army who consider a scraped face of
far greater importance than a clean musket.---Am Old
Soldier.

IA FRAUDULENT BANKRUPT.-IN RE HENRY JACKSON.
In this case the bankrupt, until lately, carried on
business as a linendraper, at Eton, and absconded a few
(lays since, and it is suspected that he had previously
made away property of considerable value. A warrant
has been issued for his apprehension, and Mr. Johnstone,
the messenger of the court, and Messrs. Forrester, the
City officers, are busily engaged in tracing the fugitive
and the property. A large reward has been offered for
his apprehension.
London, England, 1854-02-13


In reply to Mr. LAYARD,
Lord J. RUSSELL said Admiral Dundas found,
when in the Black Sea, that the anchorage at Sinope
was not secure, and that the fogs and the weather
were such that if he remained in the sea for any
length of time, the fleet would be disabled for the service
for which it was intended. It was true that there had
been a difference of opinion between the ambassador and
the admiral, but it was upon a professional question.
Arrangement had, however, been come to between the
English and French ambassadors as to the course to be
taken by the combined fleets, subject, however, to the
discretion of the admirals in regard to the safety of the
fleets. With regard to Count Orlon mission to Vienna,
he believed that his noble friend at the head of the
Foreign-office had no reason to he dissatisfied with Count
Orloff-, mission with the Emperor of Austria. The ob-
ject of the mission appeared to have been to secure the
neutrality of Austria in the event of war ; and it was
satisfactory to know that the mission had failed.
