We are glad to find that that intelligent and able
officer, Mr. F. M. Faulkener, who so efficiently dis-
charged the duties of Vice-Consul of France at Folkes-
tone, has been appointed to a similar responsible office as
a representative of the United States at the same port,
in which position we are persuaded that his many va-
luable qualities will secure to him a continuance of the
public confidence and respect which he has hitherto NO
well merited and enjoyed.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—An Abscess in the Breast!
Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills. - About three years.
since Mrs. O'Flaherty of Mill-street, Cork, accidentally
bruised her breast, for months afterwards the pain increased
and the part became fearfully swollen ; various applications..
were tried without giving the least relief. Ultimately an ab-
scess formed, discharging a great quantity of humour, whic►.
debilitated her constitution to an alarming extent • at Ole
stage a lady strongly recommended her to try dolloway's
Ointment and Pills, having witnessed their good effects on
former occasions, which advice she followed, and these Ins
medicines answered most satisfactorily, for the wound was soon
healed, and her health is now completely renovated.— Sold by
all Druggists and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244,
Strand, London.

DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AT PORTsp[OUTII._Cor•
poral Leonard, of the 91st Foot, WAS killed by throwing
himself out of the third floor window of Cambridge Bar-
racks in Portsmouth Garrison, about two o'clock yes-
terday morning. It is believed the dreadful act was
committed whilst the deceased was in a state of som-
nambulism. An inquest was held last night by Mr.
William John Cooper, the coroner of the borough, when
a verdict in accordance with the above supposition was
returned.
