TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news.
paper on Aug. 7, 1316, Bo der, remember, this letter was put Int
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weehley inserts this testimony to; the virtues of Mr. G.'s
ftcgenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an lie. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pro-
vent the hair from tonging away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and mikes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the grown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heals, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.

lILAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar,

York, - -
" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.
" Sia,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Elair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In
the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to feur individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and ti'ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effec:ed by your
wonderful medicine, 3-ou are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors threughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

HaatnuEau, JULY 20.—The Hamburgh Borsen-
halle of the above date contains the important intel-
ligence of the Schleiwig-Holstein Diet having joined
the Regency in refusing their consent to the tenor of
the armistice lately concluded between Prussia and
,Denmark, and they have also pronounced their deter-
mination to continue the war upon their own account.
Several envoys had already been dispatched to the
different Southern German Courts, to solicit their aid
in the expected struggle. The Danish squadron in
the Baltic still continue a strict blockade of the dif-
ferent ports in that sea, and several Prussian coasters
had, been captured by the steamer Hecla, off Swine-
munde, within these last few days. On the 17th a
sharp
engagement took place in the Bay of Kiel be-
tween several Holstein gun-boats, assisted by a
steamer, and the Danish line-of-battle ship, Skiold, in
which several were wounded on both sides.
COPENHAGEN, JULY 17'.—Count PLESSIN, for-
merly Ambassador at Berlin, has been sent on an
extraordinary mission to his Majesty the King of
SWEDEN and NORWAY, for the purpose of requesting
his adhesion and co-operation in carrying out the
principles of the armistice.
It was positively asserted on the Hamburgh
Bourse on the 18th, that Sweden is resolved to re-
main perfectly neutral' in the German and Danish
affair, and has positively refused to permit Swedish
troops to occupy the north of Schleswig. The ex-
penses incurred last year in giving succour to Den-
mark has not yet been reimbursed. They amount to
no less than ten millions and a half dollars. The
Swedish Government has applied for it repeatedly,
but in a note recently sent in reply by the Danish
Minister of Finance, that gentleman says that Den-
mark has not yet quite concluded a loan in England.
The official-list of the Minister of War of the
killed and wounded on the Danish side at the battle
of Fredericia is as follows :—Killed, 25 officers, 39
subalterns, and 194 privates ; wounded, 50 officers,
166 subalterns, and 1,266 privates. Total, killed,
253 ; wounded, 1,482 ; missing, 157.
The Prince of SALsa-SALm, who, it will be remem-
bered, was severely wounded and taken prisoner by
the Danes in the engagement at Aarhuus, at the end
of May, has been exchanged for a Danish officer,who
is extremely ill.
On the 16th, no less than five Prussian coasting
vessels were brought into the harbour of Copenhagen
by the Danish frigate Hecla; they were taken at
Swinemund, in the very face of the Prussian fleet,
which looked on quite unconcernedly.—Hamburgh
papers.

AUSTRIA.

Accounts have been received from Vienna to
the 19th inst.

On the 15th a desperate battle was fought at
Waitzen, between the Russians, commanded by
Paskewitch, and the Hungarians, under Georgey, in
which the former were defeated.

The Wiener Zeitung admits that the Russians
were compelled to retreat to Duna Keesh ; and it

was believed that they had been driven back to Ka-
kosh plain, and that Georgay had succeeded in
breaking through the lines and marching to the north,
and effecting his junction with the main army.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1849.

After the Demonstration in favour of the Hunga-
rians, which took place yesterday in the London
Tavern, it is unnecessary to assert that the English
multitude sympathise with that heroic race, and
entertain the most profound sentiments of abhorrence
for Austrian tyranny and Russian intervention. The
meeting was a magnificent corroboration of the asser-
tion made in the House of Commons on Saturday by
Lord PALMERSTON—to the effect that the population
of these islands regard with unanimous feelings
of delight the heroic struggle of the Mag-
yars. Yet numerous and enthusiastic as
was the assemblage, and eloquent and earnest
as were the speeches, it should be felt and
remembered that those speeches were but the pulse of
that meeting, and that that meeting was but one
throb of that great heart of England which, accord-
ing to the Noble Lord the Foreign Secretary, is
beating with an unanimous impulse of admiration
and gratitude for the Hungarians.

It was with surprise and indignation that we heard
the Honourable Gentleman the representative of the
West Riding of Yorkshire
.misrepresenting the
speech of the Minister at the head of the
Foreign Department, and eclaring with an gioluisny.

MUSIC.

THE PROPHETE.--TheProphet, composed by Meg-
erbeer, with an English version, and the Music of the
principal Airs.
This is the sixth of the series of Davidson's illus-
trated Libretto Books, which bid lair to supersede all
others. The plan adopted by Mr. Davidson, to whom
the public are more indebted for popularizing good music
among us than to any other publisher who ever lived, is
i
to give on the same page n parallel eolumns
the original words of the libretto of an opera (French,
Italian, or German, as the ease may be), and a trans-
lation of them into English blank Verse, the songs,
duets, Sze., being translated int) English rhyme, the
English words being also adapted to the mud°, so that,
in tact, every opera of this series can be represented
on the English stage with English words. The
greatest novelty, however, and that which makes
these operas of permanent value, is the
whichintroductlon
of the melodies of all the leading piece!,
not only enables the opera frequenter to follow the
music as well as the words, but renders the work of
permanent value; and the libretto beautifully got up,
and thus illustrated and rendered of permanent value, is
unauthorised, and in every respect in-
re hawked. about at the doors of
sold at a price less than is charged for the. ordinary
shops—less even than is asked for
libretto in the mug:
the imperfect,
the opera. Of this, series 111 asanzello, Norma, Il Barbiere,

and Brandus, we were curious to ascertain
whether Mr.
Meyerbeercainadrsit
Davidson had been enabled to follow up
his plan the melodies; he has done so, and here
we have theta all, notwithstandicg the declaration of the
18th of June of MM. Meyerbeer and Brandus, that not
a single piece of the music had been up to the
day published or sold in Paris. How did
Mr. Davidson then obtain the music ? In the
easiest manner in the world—his agent in Paris plir•
chased the music in the shop of this very M. Brandus,
18, Rue Richelieu, and when some time previously Mr.
Davidson had written over to M. Brandus's establish-
ment on the subject, the answer was, that nineteen
pieces of the Prophete had been published, and from
those nineteen pieces Mr. Davidson has taken the me.
lodies of his libretti.

A NEW DISCOVERY.

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52 , Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAT. TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication.

Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.

CHINA.

Our intelligence from China is,to May 25. The follow-
ing is our correspondent's letter:—
" HONG-KONG, MAY 25.
" The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Malta, reached this on the 17th inst., bringing advices
England to the 24th of March.

41-At Canton all is quiet, the excitement has in a great
measure subsided, and the Garde Mobile have been dis
banded. It has been ascertained that the Chinese
brokers have consented to pay a certain small sum upon
all goods bought from foreigners towards a general fund
denominated the " Conseo Fund," for the purpose of de-
fraying the expenses of the Garde Mobile, and to meet
similar outlays on future occasions. " The Consoo
Fund" existed in the company's time, and the present is
an attempt to revive it. The establishment of this fund
and of the guilds alluded to before, is considered directly
opposed to the spirit and letter of the existing treaties,
and indicates a return on the part of the Chinese to the
old system.
"Pirates still abound in our waters. The Inflexible
steamer brought in some days ago three large well-
armed piratical boats, which they secured after a despe-
rate resistance. The greater part of the pirates managed
to get on shore and to escape. Several were taken, but
there has only been sufficient evidence to convict nine.
Their trial will take place before the Admiralty Court
to-morrow. Several European portmanteaus were found
on board of the boats, among them one belonging to the
Spanish mail agent who was attacked a short time ago
and lost his lift-. A small cutter in the Canton river was
attacked since our last, and three of the crew were mur-
dered. A large piratical boat has been brought to
Ningpo by her Majesty's brig pilot,' and handed over to
the Chinese authorities there.

" The Governor of Macao is at serious issue with the
Chinese authorities.

" The Californian excitement still continues, and large
shipments are going forward to that quarter.
" The United States ship Preble, Captain Glynn, has
returned from Japan with some shipwrecked sailors.

" Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Collier returned from
Shanghae on the 20th inst. in her Majesty's steamer
Fury. He leaves to-morrow in the Fury for Singapore,
to join her Majesty's ship Hastings.
" Her Majesty's steamer'. aflexible left to-day for
Bombay direct, and proceeds thence to England. Her
Majesty's steamer Medea will leave shortly for the
different ports on the coast.
" Her Majesty's ship Meander, Captain the Hop. 11.
Koppel, remains in harbour, but expects to be relieved
shortly by her Majesty's ship Amazon.
" The Phlegethon steamer is stationed off the factories
at Canton. Her Majesty's brig Columbine is at Wham-
poa, the Mariner, at Shanghae; Arab, at Ningpo; Pilot,
at Amoy.
" Our latest dates are, from London, March 24; Cal-
cutta, April 21 (per the Red Rover, arrived to day),
from Madras, April 12; from Bombay, April 18; from
Singapore, Bth inst.; from Manilla, 15th inst.; and from
Sydney, March 20.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
Extract of a letter from Vienna dated July 16, 1849 :
"Notwithstanding the bravery and intrepidity of our
glorious Austro-Russo army,' th 3 bulk of the rebel'
army, commanded by Gorgey, has passed the Danube,
and occupied the left bank, probably with the intention
of not only liberating Comorn from a siege, but of open-
ing the road to Vienna; but the rebels' will find at
Presburg, in the breasts of our ' brave troops,' a wall
which will turn the edge of their sword& The Empe-
ror, with his Ministers, Schviarzenberg, Gyulai, and
Bach, has suddenly gone to Brunn.

" The other part —of the 'rebel army' has ' fled' to the
Banat, and there tzken Arad, and may enter Dalmatia.
" To occupy Fiume and threaten Trieste, other troops,
in place of a handful of disorderly insurgents,' are re-
quircd, and Austria fears no other nation of Europe!

BANKERS.
Messrs. Spooner, Attwood, and CO.
MANAGER.
Alexander Robertson, Esq.
The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLF,
.he Company being prohibited, by the 84th clause of their Deed cf
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dig;
puting a Policy upnn any ground whatever.:
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE MIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums , with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p
aid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_
paper on Aug. 7, 1446. Reader, remember, this letter was put hat
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor,
tuulty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoee, of the lierbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole ofher hairis much stronger and more luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
Mrs. Weekley Inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling ASSllied that rnAny ladies would gladly purchase
an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perflime iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ale w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
!wrist it has such a peculiar cooling influenee on the brain as to pre-
ye-el convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.

MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA

. Letters from Bucharest of the 29th of June, an-
nounce the solemn installation of Ban BARDU STIR BEY

the 28th. On the 27th his appointment was officially
communicated by the Commissary of the Ottoman
Porte, FUAD-EFFENDI, to the Caimakam, and Repre-
sentatives of the European Powers. The Imperial
firman of instalment was read in the Cathedral, on
which occasion all the diplomatic corps and civil au-
thorities were present. The PRINCE will proceed to
Constantinople, there to be invested with the insignia
of royalty, and the coronation will take place at Bu
charest.

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter of the 18th, in the Conatitutionnel,
says—" To-day the primary elections took place. As
the city has been divided into 20 electoral sections,
it is impossible to state the complete result; however,
the following is the result of the ballot in 130 sections.
The democratic party of all shades has abstained, as
informed you would be the case, but the masses voted.
In the greatest part of the sections, the electors had
come forward in full number. The great majority of
the elections as yet known belong to the Liberal-Con-
servative party, the rest to the extreme Right. The
Democratic party finds itself excluded by its system
of holding back. it is almost sure that in all the city
the result will be the same."

A letter in the Emancipation of Brussels declares
that three-fifths of the electors of Berlin refrained
from voting, but that the result was in favour of the
Government and the reactionary party. The Cologne
Gazette says, that in the localities of the Rhine and
the Moselle, in Westphalia and Munster, at Coblentz,
Cologne, Dusseldorff, Crefeld, Elberfeld, Barmen, and
numerous other places, only a small number of elec-
tors have taken part in the vote, but those who did
vote were in favour of the Government.
