AI?CIiERY.

The Louthborough Archers gave a very elegant fete to their
friends, on Wednesday, August 31. The first silver medal
was won by Captain Dison ; second medal, by Mr. Jefford;
third medal, by Mr. Ansdale. The silver arrows were won
by Messrs. Guilard, Fortescuc, and Goldsmid. The gold and
silver arrow, for the most central shot in the prize target, was
won by Mr. Wales.

IVIRs. GRAHAM.—Yesterday forenoon a gentle-
man, a friend of Mr. Graham's, arrived in town from Dud-
dinghurst, with the intelligence that Mrs. Graham is pro-
gressively improving. She now talks most rationally, although
it is not considered advisable that her late sad disaster should
be at all discussed in her presence. Her eldest son is staying
with her.

ENGISII INFLUENCE AT SMYRNA.—The Frank
quarter of the town perfectly resembles Portsmouth or Mar-
seilles. Hats arc universal. English, French, Italian and
Spanish, arc almost the only languages heard in the streets;
and the first object that strikes the eye on landing is a house
with a large sign board, informing you that it is the " Royal
Naval Hotel," and that " neat wines, spirituous liquors, and
London porter," can there be obtained. Even the Turkish
shopkeepers in the baz tars address you in English, especially
the pipe-sellers—" Jack ! you want bubble bubble?" " Very
fine Nubble bubble, Jack !" " Much cheap, Jack !" Temple's
Travels in Greece.

HOTEL WITH BANKING PRIVILEGES.—The
Exchange Hotel, recently erected in New Orleans, is owned
by an incorporated company, with banking privileges and a
capital of two and a half million dollars.—New York Paper.
The Baron de Boixh de Moresnet was on the 23d
instant, returning from the Hippodrome, at Aix la Chapelle,
with his family, in his carriage and four, but, having some
business at a place near the town, close to a very steep preci-
pice, stopped, and got out. A few minutes afterwards one of
the horses became restiff, and at length forced the carriage
over the precipice. The baroness was killed on the spot, one
of the children had its arm broken, and the others were very
much injured. The coachman was also much hurt. Ono of
the horses was killed, and the rest suffered greatly.
We are happy to hear from the hop districts, that
the plant has made a satisfactory progress during the few days
past, and is likely to prove more productive than was pre-
viously anticipated.

James erosscomb, master of the brig William
Irvine. of Cardiff, lost his life in Ramsay Bay on Friday week.
The vessel cast anchor in the bay, and the captain, accompanied
by his wife, proceeded on shore to purchase provisions. A
stiff breeze sprung up during their absence from the vessel,
and in attempting to get on board again, the captain was
washed overboard, and perished. His wife, to whom he had
only been married about six months, was a melancholy spectator
of his unhappy fate.—Cumberland Pacquet.
The vast importance and valuable utility of che-
mistry, in connection with its sister science, Pharmacy, have
been most satisfactorily illustrated in the Compound of
Franks's Specific Solution of Copaiba, a medicine which (as
a sure and never-failing remedy for those diseases which have
baffled the skill of the most eminent members of the profes-
sion) is equally highly appreciated by the Faculty and the
public. The successful result of Mr. Franks's labours and
experiments have justly entitled him to the thanks of his
profession ; and we need scarcely add, the gratitude of the
afflicted. The high recommendations in favour of this Medi-
cine—induced by an experience of its efficacy in their public
and private practice—of such eminent surgeons as Mr. Green
(one of the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons), Mr.
Bransby Cooper, and others of high and deserved repute,
warrant us in stating that Mr. Franks has done honour to his
profession, and conferred a lasting benefit upon the public.
It is worthy of remark to prove that the " scruples of preju-
dice have yielded to the conviction of truth"—that this medi-
cine is net only administered in the private practice of the
most talented of the profession, but that it is very extensively
used in the Public Hospitals and Dispensaries of the metro-
polis. For the testimonials of Mr. Green, Mr. B. Cooper
and others, we refer our readers to an Advertisement in ano-
ther column of this day's paper.
