FE AVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA-
TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, LUMBAGO,
TIC DOLOREUX, SCIATICA, &c.—The Proprietor of
FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCATION (a compo-
sition of Vegetable Oils) fearlessly asserts, and will test it
openly before the most eminent public men in the world, that
there is not to be toind a remedy a thousandth part to inno-
cent or efficacious as this specific, so justly celebrated fur the
cure of the above diseases. This assertion can be demon-
strated by evidences so invincibly conclusive, as not to be op-
posed or doubted by the most prejudiced sceptic. For inflam-
mations (ne matter how virulent) it has no compeer ,• in fact,
there is no other remedy known that will arrest lock-jaw or
inflammation which terminates in external mortification;
avid the Proprietor will forfeit any sum if it ever fails
to arrest the fatal consequences of these tiistressing dis•
ea,es, which up to this time have baffled and rendered nuga-
tory the skill of the most eminent pra• titioners in the eiviliEed
world. In sploal disea§es its efficacy is al,O undeviating, if
applied when the spine is first pronounced to be labouring
under disease. Fur Burns and Scalds it. also stands pro-erni-
nently alone, extracting the fire the instant it is applied, by
laying it Onlilentifully with a very soft brush. For Hoopkg
Cough,. Croup, Compression of the Brain, Brain Fever, Quin-
sey, palsy, Paralysis, Erysipelas, Cramp, Spasms, &c., it will
be Sound incomparable, by rubbing it on the parts affected.

STATE OF THE WEATHER' AND

CROPS.
(From the latest Papers.)
A great part of the crops is yet in the fields, waiting
the return of fine weather. The coldness of the season
prevents the sprout from injuring the grain ; and should
the weather iinprcve, there is no doubt that the wheat
will be secured in good condition.—Doncaster Gazette.
The weather has been very fickle, precarious, and un-
certain. On Friday last rain set in in the afternoon,
and at night came down in torrents, and seems to have
been general throughout the country. Saturday was a
thorough rainy day. On Sunday we had rain, and a
hail storm at noon. In the night a sharp frost, so as to
destroy the dahlias and French beans in some situations.
About a mile from Nottingham, we saw a bucket in
which the water had been frozen during the night. Mon-
day was gloomy, but in the afternoon the shearers were
busy in the fields. Tuesday was a wet day ; and Wed-
nesday was unfavourable.—,NottinyhaniTevicw.
The weather since Thursday has been, on the whole,
favourable for harvest purposes. The crops are gene-
rally in course of being saved, and although, compared
with last year's produce, they present a considerable
falling off in quantity, the quality is considered pretty
good.—Cork Southern Reporter.
During the past week we have had a return of cold,
stormy, and wet weather, and consequently all opera-
tions in the harvest field have been suspended. More
than a third part of the wheat in this country is still
abroad, and, if the present unfavourable weather con-
tinue, 'of which, we are sorry to say, there is ever 3 pro-
spect, it must be materially injured. The tempest of
last Friday evening was very severe in many places in
this neighbourhood.—Wiltshire Independent.

The e Ither with us for the lasi few days has been
very unsettled, although little rain has fallen. The high
winds have had a beneficial effect upon the crops in the
way of drying them, and, in consequence, the harvest is
now very general. Early wheat and oats have been cut
in some parts, and all accounts agree in stating the re-
turns to be above an averake.—Edinburgh Evening Post.
The heavy rains at the close of last week caused a
large flood in the Loughborough Meadows and low lands
adjoining, and was the cause of some injury to the
potatoe crops growing in the latter places. On Sunday
evening the cold was so severe as to produce ice of the
thickness of half-a-crown, and has had a very injurious
effect on the dahlias and other delicate plants. The
dahlias in one or two gardens, that were intended for ex-
hibition at the forthcoming show at the Plough Inn, have
been completely spoiled. A considerable quantity of the
corn still remains unsecured.—Nottingham Review.
WET GRAIN.—The writer of a letter in an (Word
paper.recommends that any grain which may at the pre-
- sent time be found to be wet, should be secured in the
straw, placed in roomy barns, upon shelves constructed
of laths or cords, and by frequent removing, or the ap,..
• plication of a little heat by means of a stove, kept there
until it is dry. In this manner he says that an acre of
wheat might be.placed horizontally along the walls with
every sheaf open, and by the introduction of an artificial
current of air, might be rendered in eight hours fit for
housing. The writer states that he has himself success-
fully adopted the plan with some barley.

CRICKET.—The Officers of the Ist and 2d
Lite Guards have selected eleven men from each of their
respective regiments, to play a match on Garratt's
Grounds, Copenhagen-house, on Monday, Septemberl3.

THE ROMANCE OF SPORTING.—With the •
single exception of " Nimrod," we have hitherto had no
noticeable writer on sporting subjects, although they
term so truly marked a feature in our national character.
If the gossip of the sporting circles may be relied on,
this blank in our literature is on the point of being
very pleasantly filled up by what will at least have entire
novelty to recommend it—namely, a Sporting Romance,
under the title of the " Old English Gentleman." It is
written, as we understand, by a gentleman of fortune,
who is well known in the sporting world ; and it is said
to contain characteristic sketches, drawn to, and from,
the life of every existing English field sport—from the
lordly stag and fox chase, to the lowly otter and rat hunt
—the whole being linked together into a consecutive
narrative, setting forth the life and habits of a " fine old
English gentleman." Such a work must excite unusual
curiosity.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]
Rowland's Kalydor is a balmy and odoriferous
creamy liquid—the most mild, safe, yet efficacious pre-
paration ever known for dissipating sun-burns, tan,
pimples, freckles, and cutaneous disfigurements of the
skin ; composed chiefly from extracts of the most rare
flowers and herbs of an eastern clime ; its discovery by
a lady of rank was no less singular than its effects have
been felicitous during the last twenty years. Perse-
verance in the use of Rowland's Kalydor is the only
known means, where nature has denied her bounty, of
obtaining a beautifully clear and fair skin, tinged with a
roseate hue.

LYNN..--A most distressing accident occurred
here on "Wednesday last. A party of teetotalers having
gone down the roads in the Pilot sloop, six or eight of
them got into a small boat, and proceeded to a neigh-
bouring sand, between the Whiting and Thief Beacons,
to bathe. After walking about for some time they came
to a steep bank, and were suddenly out of their depth.
Several were unable to swim, but with considerable
difficulty all were rescued with the exception of three;
and though search was made for their bodies, for a
considerable time, nothing was seen of them, and it is
most probable they had been carried away by the cur-
rent. The unfortunate men who have thus lost their
lives were named Stephenson, Scott, and Towler ; the
two latter were young and unmarried, but the former has
left a wife and four small chilrcn totally unprovided for.
Cambridge Advertiser,

On the 29th of April last the late House of Commons
resolved that a Select Committee be appointed to take
into consideration the promotion of the Fine Arts of this
country in connection with the rebuilding of the. new
Houses of Parliament. It consisted of the following
Members :—Mr. Hawes' Mr. Labouchere; Sir E. Peel,
Mr. H. G. Knight, Mr. Hume,. Mr. Wyse.* Mr. Blake,
Sir It. H. Inglis, Lord Brabazon,* Lord F. Egerton.
Mr. Ewart, Mr. Milnes, Colonel Rawdon, Mr. li. T.
Hope,* and Mr. r. Pitsey.
The Committee comtnence their Report by stating,
that although the then approaching dissolution compelled
them to conclude their inquiry somewhat abruptly, still
they have obtained the opinions of some distinguished
profesSers and admirers of art, who are unanimously of
opinion that so important and national a work as the
erection of the two Houses! Parliament affords an op-
portunity which °ugh& not trbe neglected of encouraging
not only the higher, but every subordinate branch of fine
art in this country. In this opinion the Committee state
their entire concurrence, supported, as it is, by witnesses
of extensive information, and by artists of the highest
ability. The, Committee, however, in recommending
that measures should be taken without delay to encou-
rage the fine arts, by employing them in the decoration
of the new Houses of Parliament, desire to express
their decided opinion, that, to accomplish this object
successfully, it is absolutely requisite that a plan should
previously be determined upon, and that as soon as prac-
ticable, in order that the arohitect and the artists to be
employed may work nut oniy in conjunction with, but in
aid of, each other:

The Committee are not,.in the present stage of the
inquiry, prepared to suggest the details of a plan, but
they think that a Commission might most usefully be
appointed to assist, both with inforMation and advice,
some department of the Government, which, after mature
consideration, should be solely responsible for the exe-
cution of the plan best calculated to realise the objects of
the Committee.

Whether, however, a Commission be appointed or not,
the Committee think. it is most desirable that the advice
and assistance of persons should be sought who are com-
petent, from their knowledge of art, and their acquaint-
ance. with great public works,- both at home and abroad,
to propose, in .conjunction with• the architect, the most
effectual means of attaining the chief object aimed at by
the appointment of the Committee—viz., the encourage-
ment of the fine arts of 'this country. By taking tnis
course, the architect and the other artists will be enabled
to understand' and assist each other's views ; and-thus
the abilities of both would be exerted fur the decoration

so eminently national a building, and, at the same

time, encouragement, beyond the —means of private
patronage, would be afforded, not only to the higher
walks, but to all branches of art.
The Committee state that their attention has been
called to one branch of the, fine arts hardly known
in this country—namely, fresco painting, which has
lately been revived on the Continent, and employed
in the decoration of public buildings, especially
at Munich. The space which it demands for its
free development, and the subjects . which it is
peculiarly fitted to illustrate, combine to point out na-
tional buildings as almost the only proper sphere for the
display of its peculiar characteristics—grandeur, breadth,
and simpEcity. The Committee, after a careful consi-
deration of the evidence, are disposed to recommend that
this style or mode of painting should be adopted. They
fully concur in the opinion of Mr. Eastlake, that Eng-
land possesses artists equal to the occasion, whose genius
only wants that exercise and encouragement which this
great opportunity may be made to afford. But .the
Committee suggest that if fresCo painting should be em-
ployed in the decoration of certain portions of the new
buildings, it would be a safe .and judicious plan, to give
the artists an opportunity of making some experimental
efforts in the first instance.

The Committee then quote a passage from a valuable
paper on fresco painting. written by Mr. Eastlake.
With reference to another branch of the inquiry—the
cost incident to an extensive and well-devised plan for

the public' patronage and encouragement of art—the
Committee, notwithstanding that they are aware that_
objections are entertained by many to a large expendi-
ture of the public money for such a purpose, are of
opinion, independently of the beneficial and elevating
influence of the fine arts upon a people, that every pecu-
niary outlay, either for the purpose of forming or ex-
tending collections of works of art in this country, has
been directly instrumental in creating new objects of
industry and of enjoyment, and therefore in adding at
the same time to the wealth"of the Country.
The Committee state, that the,collection of vases made
by Sir W. Hamilton led to the introduction of a new
branch of manufacture in this country by Mr. Wedgwood,
which not only cmplo3ed artists and artisans, but tended
to improve every branch of a. great staple trade, and
in its results elicited from
.t4e hands of comparatively
ordinary workmen works almoSt .• rivalling their ori-
ginals in texture, form, and beauty. The Committee
further remark, that the collection of Sir W. Hamilton's
ancient Greek vases (for the purchase of which a sum of
8,4001 was granted by Parliament) was a great acqui-
sition to the country, and ought to have opened the eyes
of the Government to the utility arising from similar ac-
quisitions. " The discovery of these vases (the com-
mittee observe), and their communication
.to the. public
by engravings, coinciding with the ,discoveries of Hercu-
laneum and Pompeii, may be considered an essential epoch
in the history of the arts, and which contributed greatly
to their revival,"

The committee, observe that the beneficial influence of
art upon the character of the people may, it is hoped, be
inferred from the gradually increasing numbers, of late
years, who take an interest in the national collections.

This fact has been fully proved by the report of the select
committee on " national monuments and works of art,"
of which we, some time ago, laid an abstract before our
readers. " The habit," says Reynolds, "of contemplat-
ing and brooding over the ideas of great geniuses till you
find yourself warmed by the contrast, is the true method
of forming an artist-like mind. It is impossible, in the
presence of those great men, to think or to invent in a
mean manner ; a state of mind is acquired that receives
ideas only which relish grandeur and simplicity."
As, then, the collection and exhibition of works of art

•
have not only tended to the moral elevation of the peo-
ple, but have also given a fresh stimulus and direction to
their industry, so the Committee is of opinion that a di-

rect encouragement of the higher branches of the art on
this occasion will have a similar effect in a still higher
degree.
The Committee, after referring to the evidence of Mr.
Dyce, thus conclude their report :
" Your Committee, from the abrupt termination of the
session, and consequently of •their inquiry, have not had,
the opportunity to form any fair estimate of the expense'
of carrying out the. views here stated ; but they are,
however, of opinion that, judging from the manner in
which great works have been effected on the Continent,
and by the adoption in the outset of a well-considered
plan for the employment of artists, and the application
of the arts, a moderate annual expenditure would ac-
compliSh very important results, if not all that can be
desired. They think that the very fact of a determi-
nation by the House to take this opportunity of en-
couraging the arts, and of associating them with our
public architecture, our legislation, our commerce, and
our history, would alone stimulate and raise their cha-
racter and quality, and extend their beneficial influence
over a still wider circle. I consider it,' says Sir M. A.
Shee, most favourable opportunity for calling forth
the genius of our Country, and promoting the fine arts
to the utmost extent of which they arc capable ; •it is
the only opportunity that has occurred for many years,
and if it be suffered to pass unheeded, I should say that
there is no hope in this country for artists in the higher
departments of the arts.'
" Whilst your Committee, in conclusion, regret that
they could not investigate the whole subject so fully as
they desired, and as its importance demanded, they
unanimously recommend the evidence herewith presented
to the House to its favourable consideration, with a view
to its receiving the immediate attention of the Govern-
ment,as of the importance at-
and in the hope that our IleW, douses of Parlia-
mentnobler productions of art;
may .hand down to posterity a memorial, as
and that the subjects embodied in such representations,
oftachtheed gbeymtuhse
co
(fmonttirry atrot st thse,
whether by painting or sculpture, may serve to perpe-
tuate the events of our past history, and the persons of
our public benefactors, in the grateful remembrance of
the people."
