BEAUTIFUL. TEETII

ROWLANDS' ODUNTO, or PEARL
DENTIFRICE.
Patronised by the Queen, th, Court, and the Royal Family of Great
Britain, and the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe.
_ _ .

A FRAGRANT WHITE POWDER, prepared from Oriental herbs
of inestimable virtue for preserving and beautifying the TEETH and
strengthening the GUMS. It eradicates tartar from the teeth,
removes spots of incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel,
imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness, and gives sweet-
ness and perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums
also share in its corrective powers ; scurvy is eradicated from them,
and a healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if
loose) are thus rendered firm in their sockets. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
ROWLAN 'S ALSANA EXTRACT,

For immediately relieving the most violent Toothache, Gum Roils,
and Swelled Face, and which, by constantly using, prevents those
maladies. It is perfectly innocent in its nature, and is under the
sanction of the first physicians. Price 2s. Pd., 4s. 6d., and 10s.-60.

useful and ornamental article usually made hi silver, possessing, as
it does, the characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called
into existence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate,"

The Severn has made an excellent voyage of only
nineteen days from St. Thomas, experiencing
easterly winds and fine weather throughout, the
breeze considerably increasing, however, from Fayal
home. By this arrival we learn that her Majesty's
ship Vindictive, Vice-Admiral Sir Francis Austin,
K.C.8., and the Electra, were at Halifax, on the
24th of July; Thetis, at Madeira, on the 10th of
August ; her Majesty's ship Endymion, Captain
Courtenay, was at Antigua on the 28th of July ;
her Majesty's schooner Viper, Lieutenant Com-
mander Hore, sailed from Falmouth, Jamaica, for
St. Jago de Cuba, on the 18th of July ; her Ma-
jesty's brig Recruit, Commander A. Slade, was at
Fayal -on the 12th of August ; her Majesty's
steamer Sidon, Captain Henderson, arrived at
Fayal on the 12th of August; for St.'Michael's and
Terceira : and the Severn spoke the French brig of
war Cygne entering Fayal Roads. She also spoke
the Dutch ship Japan, No. 482, on the 10th of
August ; the English brig Pioneer, of Plymouth
(Madeira to Labrador), out nine days, on the 14th
of August ; American ship Remittance, of New
York (New Orleans to Liverpool), out 47 days, on
the 16th of August; and exchanged colours with the
bark Victor, and ship Thomas Sparkes, on the 10th
of August; a French ship, showing a square red
flag, with a white ring in the centre, at the main, and
a red and blue burgee under her ensign, on the 14th
of August ; Dutch bark Jacatra, on the 16th of
August ; English bark Mandane, on the 17th of
August; and left the following vessels at Jamaica :
Brigs, Mary Russell and Peggy ; and barks; Lord
Stanley, Calypso, Levant, and Young Queen.
The Clyde having exchanged duties on arrival of
the Severn at Jamaica, on the 16th of July, left on
the following day for St. Martha, Carthagena, Chagres,
and St. Juan Nicaragua. The Teviot arrived at
Grenada on the 25th of July, and proceeded with
the mails for St. Domingo, Jamaica, Havannah, and
the Gulf of Mexico. The Reindeer proceeded to
Tobago and Demerara; the Eagle to Trinidad. The
Conway arrived at St. Thomas with the Demerara
and Windward Island mails.

The want of rain is still much felt throughout the
West Indies, which renders the prospect of next
year's crop uncertain. At Jamaica, no reduction
whatever had taken place in the rates of freights
since the departure of the previous mail. The quan-
tity of produce on hand for which no conveyance
could be obtained, was exceedingly large, and
freights were expected to keep up for some time to
come. Throughout the Azores peace and quietness
prevailed. Her Majesty's steamer Sidon, and brig
Recruit, were to return from Fayal to Terceira, it
was supposed, to await the arrival of troops from
Portugal. _ •

By this arrival we have our usual files of papers
which confirm to a considerable extent the foregoing
account of the weather. There are, however, some ex-
ceptions ; the rainy season had set in at Trinidad, and
there was a prospect of its continuance, but a consider-
able quantity of produce was waiting for shipment. At
Barbadoes, a favourable change in the weather had
taken place, heavy rains had fallen, but the island
was suffering from great scarcity and dearness of
provisions. At Jamaica, the exceedingly dry state of
the weather is confirmed. The dispatch states, that
both the north and south sides of the island were
alike in this respect. The grass fields in the neigh-
bourhood of Buff Bay present the yellow and parched
appearance of the southern penns, and the plant
canes are suffering severely. A heavy shower had
fallen, but was of short duration, though there was
the appearance of coming rain. Such dry weather
had not been experienced on the mountains of St.
George for many years. It is gratifying to state that
it has not had any sensible effect on the coffee as yet ;
the trees look remarkably well, and promise an abun-
dant blossom.

c'o'nTtilnienews eaasthfaevrenart Tobago,"ableasthe planters
thenters could well
desire. The land is refreshed with heavy showers,
but not sufficiently heavy to obstruct outdoor work,
such as supplying and putting in plants---operations
so necessary at this season of the year, and for which
the present state of the weather is so propitious.
Sugar making is finished on many of the estates,
and on most would have been so had the weather
been good for planting. The canes left standing
to supply plants will now be cut down, aid the
crop for 1847 finished, which, we are happy in
stating, will show a considerable increase on that of
1846."

The House of Assembly, at Jamaica, was further
prorogued to the 24th of August.
The following is a list of the cabin passengers by
the Severn :—Mr. and Mrs. Price and family, Mr.
