fAnvEunsEmENT.]—A certain Cure fur Scrofula,
or king's Evil, by Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—Many of
the hospitals have found that a number of their patients afflicted
with ulcers, abscesses, and sores, but more particularly from
scrofula, who had been discharged as incurable from the vari-
ous medical institutions, were afterwards soundly healed by
Holloway's Pills and Ointment. This fact has induced several
infirmaries to purchase, by weight, from the proprietor, Hol-
loway's Ointment for hospital use, for the purpose of curing
this class of patients. All such would, therefore, do well to
have recourse to those famed remedies when suffering from
similar ailments. These medicines may be obtained of all
chemists and druggists, throughout the civilised world, and at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 224, Strand, London.
The Duke of Richmond and Lord Colchester had an

WEST INDIA MAIL.
The Royal West India Mail Packet, Severn, Capt.
Vincent, arrived at Southampton yesterday, and landed
her mails under the charge of _Lieutenant ,T. Ray, 11.1s1;:,
Admiralty agent. The Severn had a fair wind allatmA,'
derate gales during the voyage.
The dates by the Severn were:—Vera Cruz, May 16;
Tampico, May 14; Havana, May 27; Honduras, May
11; Jamaica, May 23; St. Jago de Cuba, May 20; De-
merara, May 19; Trinidad, May 22; Barbadoes, May
29; Antigua, May 30; Guadaloupe and Martinique.
May 30; Port Rico, May 29; Nassau, May 30; St.
Thomas, June 2; Bermuda, June 6.
The Severn bri,gs home 41 passengers, among whom
are 11 distressed seamen.

The freight on board consiqs of 675,995 dollars on
merchants' account, and 8,161 dollars on account of

Mexican dividends; 260/. Briti,h coin; 494 serous co-
chineal; 5 serons jalap, 26 bales tobacco; 51 cases
cigars; 32 casks arrowroot; 4 cases vanilla; 3 cases
succades; 6 cases pines; 20 lire turtles; 70 packagei of
suntirif s.

At most of the West India Islands freights are high,
in eimsequenee of the number of ships taken up for
California. Most of the adventurers who left Europe
within the last three month are delained at Chagres

and Panama, in consequence of the want of conveyance.
and a recent proclamation of the American PresideHt
opposing the landirg of Europeans on the north west
co .st of America.

JAMAICA 'STARKE PS.

KINGSTON, MAY 23.—The bubiness of the past fort-
night has been duller than ever. Thc demand foe every
article is extremely limited. We refer our readers for
detailed information to the respective heads in the re-
view at foot. Much dissatisfaction has lot en created
among the mercantile community by the irregularity of
the packet system. For some months the steamers
have arrived two, three, and sometimes as maay as six
days after they were due. We believe some notice is to
be taken of the matter in an address to the Lords cf the
Admiralty. No one could complain of the delay which
might arise frcm accident, but since the Bermuda route
has been commenced everything appears to have gone
wrong, even in the finest weather. The preqrsystem,
subjects the public to much isoonvemense, should
-re at once be revised and altered. _

-13utter—The stock of every description is immense,
and badly as the market is now depressed, there is no
doubt that it must become much worse unless a cessa-
tion of arrivals for a considerable period be resorted to.

Irish moved slowly at 9d.; but holders have been com-
pllcd to submit to as low a figure as Bd. per lb., at
which price the last sale was effected. Should the new
be whipped in any quantities, there is no saying what
will be the result. 182 kegs Halifax prime have been
taken at 6d. per lb., and United States' at sd.
Lard—ls abundant and dull, though holders have sub-
mitted to lower prices. Prime has been sold at sd. A
lot of 250 kegs, condemned as being soft and unmer-
chantable, has been bought at auction at 3d. per lb.
Candles—Are unsaleable, even at 7d. per lb.-6's and
12's are said to bo the favourite sizes. The stock is
heavy.
Mackerel—The receipts previous to the arrival of the
last vessel fetched 235. for No. 3 and 265. for No. 2. The
last lot, No. 3, commanded 245.

Alewives—The last two lots brought 203. per barrel,
having arrived to a bare market.
Codfish—The stock is not heavy, the last three ves-
sels having brought small cargoes. One of these was
sold at 1-ts. 6d. per 1001bs. in casks, and 16s. for box;
and the other at 15s. per 1001bs. in casks, and 16s. per
box. The la-t cargo containing 11 tierces and 60 boxes,
has been sold at 15s. 6d. per 1001bs. in casks, and 17s.

per box.
liming—The last two arrivals, mixed Roe and
Split, were eagerly taken at 20s. per barrel. The stock
is sill light.
Salmon—ls almost out of consumption, and very few
barrels are a sufficient supply in any cargo. No. 3 is
unsaleable at any price. Nu. 2is worth 505.; and No. 1
60s. per barrel.
Soap—The market is completely overstocked with all
descriptions of common quality. The only kind that can
be called saleable, is Steele's Double Crown, of which
601bs. boxes (20 bars) are wanted. We quote this ma-
nufacturer'. Soap at I Is. for 481" s. Feather, 12s. 6d. for
561bs. Feather, and 15s. 6cl. for 56Ibs. Double Crown.
The market is full of American; but this description
is in great disfavour, and the trade will not purchase it.
Pork—The stock of mess is now much reduced, and 150
barrels have been sold as high as 68s. per barrel. Prime
is done at 58s.

Ilams—Prime American change hands at 7d. to lid.
per lb. We have nut heard of any trAnsactions in Lan-
eashire.

Che,se—Doublo Glo'ster has been sold at 9d. per lb.
American is auiet.

Beet'—ls dull. 25 half barrels family have been dis-
posed of at 41s. per half-barrel, and 25 quarter barrels
at 21s.

( hl—All the late arrivals of cod and seal were sold at
2s. 6d. per gallon. These sorts are hardly so brisk as
they were, however, on account o' the receipts of lard
oil which have lately occurred, and of which 15 barrels
have been sold at 3s. 3d. per gallon, and 20 barrels at 3s.
6d., in lots of two and three barrels.
Mal:—The price in bulk has fallen. Barclay's Lon-
don has teen offered at 925., ani Lane's York has been
sold at 60i. London bottled porter and pale ale are dull
1 at 7:;.. 6d. per doz
I, Salt—The market is very heavily Fanpplied with coarse
grained, and the supply of fine is by no means small.
600 sacks Liverpool fine have been taken at 6s. per sack.
Coarse fetches ss. 9d,

Corn—ls sold at 4s. per bushel.
Lumber—Moderate quantities of white pine would
meet ready sale, there being very little at market. The
market is well stocked with all other descriptions. Cedar
shingles are dull at 16s. per thousand.
Brandy—Marteli's dark is worth ss. id. to ss. Id. per
gallon, in bond Other brands have been sold at 5s 6cl
to ss. Bd.
Tobacco—Cavendish is abundant and dull, at 7d. to
lid. per lb. for 18's and 20's. Leaf is wanted.
Rum—Sales have been made at-
-43. per gallon and 2d.!per extra bead I
Cash.
23. sd. per ditto and 2d. per ditto ditto
2s. 31. per ditto and 33. per ditto ditto
60 days.
23. 6d. per ditto and 3.1. per ditto ditto
Sugar—Has triflingly advanced. We may quote 14s.
to 17s. per 100 lb. with sales for export.
Pimento-70 bags have realised 2id. per lb.
Freights—Are 4s. per cwt. for sugar and coffee, and sd.
por gallon for rum. Charters continue to be made at
31..55. to 31. for tonnage. Vessels are tolerably abundant.
Exchanges—On London: Colonial Bank, 90 days, per
cent. pm.; ditto, 60 days, 1 per cent. pas. amaica
Bank, 90 days, per cent. pm.: ditto, 60 days, 1 per
cent. pm. Merchants' bills, 90 days, par. Coltuttbiaa

REPORTED LOSS OF THE BULLDOG.
MALTA, JUNE 12.—8 y the arrival yesterday of the
French steamer Independente, news reached the island
of the loss of her Majesty's steamer Bulldog, en route
from Qivita Vecchia to Leghorn. Although no official
iq9'...mation of the disaster has been received, the place
of tier loss, off Point Piombino, near Elba, is given with
ouch precision as to cause considerable anxiety in the
minds of the relatives of the officers and men residing in
Malta.

On the 2cl, the day on which the last advices were re-
ceived from Civita Vecchia, she was lying there, and
Captain Kay was watching the movements of the French
against the Romans with much anxiety. Indeed every-
thing leads to the belief that the Bulldog could not quit
her station, except for the Tiber, until Rome had fallen,
and then she would be dispatched to Malta with the
news.

MEMORANDA OF A MUSICIAN.

BY GEORGE J. 0. ALLMANN.

" Notes, notes, tbrsooth, and noting!"
SHAKSPERE.

No. XIV.
ZING AR ELIA

On one of Rossini's visits to the Conscrvatorio at Naples,
the seminary of the world's greatest musicians, he is said
to have rather abruptly demanded of Zin,garelli thut
master's opinion of his music. "Sir,"replied the director,
with his accustomed frankness, which did honour to him,
"your music may please at the theatre, but it will never
do f,r our schools: I have therefore considered it my
duty to forbid your scores being placed in the hands of
my pupils!" Rossini carried this rebuke off with a
laugh, but be was evidently mortified.
