The NATURAL REGENERATOR of the DIGESTIVE ORGANS
(the Stomach and Intestines), WITHOUT Glysters, Baths, Pills,
Purgatives, or Medicines of any kind, BY A SIMPLE, NATURAL,
AGREEABLE, AND INFALLIBLE MEANS, called
" THE REVALENTA ARABICA"
(a nutritive and eminently curative fecula derived from an African
plant). The Revalenta Arabic., is not a medicine, but a simple ali-
mentary substance, agreeable to the palate, more easily digested
than any other food, awl, in its immediate effects upon the stomach
and intestines, eminently curative and strengthening, radically re-
moving and healing even the most inveterate affections of these
viscera, which it restores to their primitive vigour and activity. By
removing all disorders from the stomach and intestines, and enabling
these organs to perform their important functions freely, and to
supply the system with a healthy chyle, the " Revalenta Arabica"
eradicates, in its ulterior effects, all the host of refractory, obstinate,
and painful diseases which have their origin or their seat in deranged
or weak digestive organs, such as indigestion (dyspepsia), dysentery,
costiveness, liver complaint, weak and extinguished appetite, fetid
brsath, nervous headaches, hemorrhoidal affections, obstructions,
and irregularities in the menses, lencorrhata (the whites), sleepless.
ness, nervousness, biliousness, general debility and wasting of the
body, languor of body and mind, hypochondria, gout, scrofulous and

It is illustrated to Three Explanatory Engravings.
PART 111. Treats et the diseases resulting from infection, either in
the primary or secondary form, and contains explicit directions for
their treatment. The consequences of early neglect and of the abuse
of mercury, are also clearly pointed out. This section is illustrated
by Seventeen Coloured Engravings.
PART IV. Treats of Perry's Preventative Lotion, by the use of
which the clangers of infection are obviated. It combines with the
virus chemically, and destroys its power on the system.
PART V. Is devoted to the consideration of marriage, and its

Mr. MCIIRISTIE awarded Mr.-Nias 20s. costs, and
then said, that the general rule on which he should
act with regard to these notices was, that he should
require the objections to be gone into, and if they
proved to be vexatious he should impose costs on the
objector.
Mr. Brown could not understand the justice of such
a decision, seeing that by his agreeing to withdraw
his objections the parties were not put to any trouble.
Mr. M`CnitisnE—Not to any trouble ! First, the
overseer was required to attend ; then, the secondary
to record the notice; then, the clerk of the company
was also to attend, and he himself had to take cogni-
zance of the notice ; and, beyond this, the party ob-
jected to, a professional gentleman in this instance, was
taken from his home for two days. Surely this was
trouble enough.
The money was paid.
Subsequently Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown applied
to the Court for an adjournment. They observed,
that in consequence of the rule laid down by Mr.
NPChristie respecting the nature of these objections,
they wished to have an opportunity to confer to-
gether in order to determine what course they should
hereafter take.

Mr. MTHRISTIE suggested that at the close of this
day's proceedings the Court should adjourn till Mon-
day.

Mr. Smith—l have no doubt that by such an ar-
rangement the business of the Court would be greatly
expedited.
The lists were then proceeded with, and in every
case where the objection appeared to the Court to be
groundless, either on account of the question raised
having been already decided, or the inquiries not
having been made with sufficient vigilance, costs were
a warded.
Adjourned till Monday.

EXTENSIVE FlRE.—Last night, about half-past
eleven o'clock, a fire, that for nearly an hour completely
illuminated the western portion of the metropolis, broke
out upon the premises in the tenure of Mr. Miles, a
cabinet. manufacturer, situate in Neal's-yard, Seven-dials,
a very narrow and densely-populated neighbourhood.
The flames were first noticed by Mr. Hillsman, the corn-
factor, who occupies the lower part of the building; at
which time the two upper workshops appeared to be in a
general blaze. Not a moment was lost in sounding the
alarm, and with all speed engines from Messrs. Combe
and Delafield's brewhouse, together with numerous
others belonging to the London Brigade, West of Eng-
land, and County establishments, reached the scene of
conflagration. The flames at that time were rushing out
of the front and back windows with such fury that
the destruction ot the contiguous buildings appeared
quite certain. The firemen, however, having set their
engines to work, mounted the roofs of the adjoining
houses, and by carrying the hose with them, they were
enabled to pour the water in such directions as to com
pletely encompass the flames. This was a work of con-
siderable difficulty and danger, but, fortunately, not one
of the men received any personal injury. Owing to
their indefatigable exertions, they succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the fire before twelve o'clock; not, however,
until Mr. Miles's premises were burned out, and the
contents, including the workmen's tools, were totally
consumed.
AWFUL FIRE.—On Thursday last a most extensive
fire occurred at Needingworth, a village near St. Ives,
in the county ot Huntingdon, which has rendered it one
scene of misery and desolation, upwards of 80 houses, in-
cluding farming-houses arid cottages, being entirely de-
stroyed. The fire was first observed about 12 o'clock
at neon, and originated through a poor idiot servant
girl throwing some lighted straw into a yard ; the wind
at the time blowing a hurricane wafted some o the straw
to the thatch of the cottage, which was immediately
enveloped in flames ; it then communicated itself to an
adjoining farm, and in u few minutes the whole of the
the right hand and on the left, was one

dis-
cussed the evils that might
be caused by an in-
complete one. Unrestrained competition had pro-
duced some unfortunate consequences, but they could
not be attributed to the principle of freedom, only to
the imperfect manner in which it had been carried
out; the sources of wealth had been agitated and
disturbed before the channels had been dug through
which the waters were to flow. The study which
these unfavourable phenomena necessitated had tended
to disseminate the principles of the science. Men
were led to inquire into the causes of evils which had
almost been regarded as inevitable. It was such an
inquiry in which they were engaged. It was to attempt
to resolve the important question that they had sum-
moned them to Brussels. He regretted that the
French journals had thought it their duty to remain
totally silent on the subject, and hoped the publicity
given to their present proceedings would produce a
favourable effect; and he confessed he had no
right to expect of the press of France that
attention which even the press of Belgium had
not given them. They had found in the press of
England and America that support which their own
had refused them; but at last they had succeeded,
and the Congress bad been brought together. He then ,
proceeded to that branch of political economy com-
prehended in the term " Freedom of Trade," treated
under several divisions, fiscal and social; and com-
bated the arguments with which it is opposed, in
Belgium more particularly. The principal one is, an
apprehension that if England were admitted to com-
pete with this country, all its manufactures would be
absorbed and swallowed up. To these apprehensions
he opposed the material advantages of a free commercb
and its moral effects, the preservation of the peace of
the world, and the extension of the sentiment of
fraternity among mankind.
Professor WALowsRI, of Paris, then addressed
the meeting. He commenced by regretting that
Germany should have sent to the Congress an oppo-
nent of the principle of free trade, and then pro-
ceeded in an animated speech to explain the advan-
tages of free trade, and dwelt with considerable effect
on the inconsistency of those who are perfectly ready
to accept the most modern improvements in machinery,
but oppose themselves to the consequences which
those improvements must produce. The men who
advocated the extension of railways, which,
aid of steam, were bringing all the world together,
could not support the system of protection, which, as
much as possible, kept nations separated. Having
familiar
passed in review the several arguments '
to
the English public, he concluded by drawing a com-
parison between the enlargement and enfranchisement
of the human mind which was effected by the doc-
trines of Christianity, and the effect, in a lower sphere,
of the free principle in commerce ; what one was for
the moral existence of man, the other would be for
his material and physical being.—(Applause.)
M. ROTRENHAVISEN (de Berg) read a paper
in support of the doctrines of protection. The
speaker was unimpressive in style, and the dis-
course was coldly received. It contained frequent
references to the grasping character of the policy of
England ; among other things, be reproached us with

M. DUCUATEAU (de Valenciennes), secretary of a
committee for the protection of native industry, fol-
lowed in a protectionist address, in which he im-
pugned Dr. Bowring's reading of history when he
praised the moderation of England.
Mr. EWART, M.P., M. CAMPAN, and Colonel
THOMPSON, M.P., were the next speakers. Colonel
Thompson spoke but a few minutes ; he was most
warmly received ; inleed, the greatest respect is ex-
hibited for the English legislators who have attended
the Congress.
The PRESIDENT then closed the sitting, and the
Congress rose.
The visiting members dine together every evening
at a table d'hote, the arrangements of which are con-
ducted by the committee. A grand concert and
banquet are to be among the festivities of the
meeting.

PORTLAND HARBOUR OF
REFUGE.
(From the Sherborne Journal.)
. _ _

The inhabitants of Weymouth and Portland, feel-
ing that a debt of gratitude is owing to Mr. John
' Harvey, for his and his father's untiring exertions,
both by personal application and writing, in bringing
before successive Governments and the public the
necessity of a breakwater at Portland (now happily
commenced), have now resolved on entering into a
subscription to present him with a suitable testimo-
nial. The late Mr. John Harvey was, in 1803, by
the special command of his Majesty George the Third,
appointed postmaster of Weymouth, and the present
Mr. John Harvey succeeded his father in the same
situation in the year 1817. Subscriptions will, we
understand, be received by the Weymouth Banks,
and it is hoped that the country generally will unite
with the inhabitants of Weymouth and Portland in
promoting this laudable object. Capt. Joseph Slade
has kindly undertaken to act as secretary. Among
the subscriptions which head the list are the Worship-
ful the Mayor of Weymouth (J. A. Devendish, Esq.)
and W. Eliot, Esq., for 11. each.—[We are happy to
hear that the hint lately given in our journal is being
acted on.—En. S. J.]

HARVEST-HOME.—This good old custom is not yet
extinct in this country; in proof of which we have to in-
stance the festivities at East Hampstead Park, in Berk-
shire, the seat of the Marquis of Downshire. In a
letter we have received from that neighbourhood the
writer says:—" We had rare doings here this day (Fri-
day)—the harvest home. The Marquis of Downshire
had a fat bullock killed for the occasion, which was
roasted in joints; plenty of plum-puddings, and home-
brewed in abundance. About 300 farming men, work-
men, women, &c., employed by his Lordship, sat down
to the dinner. After the feast the village band attended
for country dances; and cricket, and all sorts of rustic
diversion concluded the festivities of the occasion."
THE YANKEE PEDLAR.—" See here, Mister, don't
you want tew buy somethink in my line tew-day? I've
got a new machine for picking bones out of fishes. Now
I tell yew it's a little the darndest thing Yew ever did
see. All yew have to dew is to set on a table, and
turn a crank, and the fish flies rite down your throat,
and the bones rite off the other way. Well, there was a
country greenhorn got hold of it the other day, and he
got turntn' the crank the wrong way, and I tell you the
way the bones flew down that 'ere feller's throat couldn't
be beat. Why, it stuck that feller so full of bones, that
he couldn't get his shirt off for a full week.—New York
Globe.

PRICE O BREAD.-A meeting was held at Eveshain
on Wednesday, to consider the price of bread and other
articles of consumption, and the desirableness of provi-
sions generally being supplied .by weight. It was con-
vened by the mayor (J. B. Haynes, Esq.), who presided,
in compliance with a numerously signed requisition pre-
sented to him for that purpose. The parties who took
an active part in getting up the requisition being absent,
some time was passed in desultory conversation on the
Act of Parliament bearing on the subject of bread, and
at last Mr. R. Whitford moved—" That bread, which is
the chief article of food of the masses of the population,
should be offered for sale by weight, so as to prevent the
possibility of fraud to the consumer." This was carried
unanimously ; and a second resolution, pledging the
meeting to buy only of those bakers who sell by weight,
was also adopted. Resolutions were afterwards agreed
to that all other articles of food ought to be sold by
weight, and in favour of the erection of a public weigh•
ing machine.— Worcester Chronicle.

LOCH LAGGAN, TUESDAY NIGHT.
Yesterday morning, Prince Albert went out to the
cover-shooting in the woods adjacent to the Lodge,
attended by a great number of beaters. The sport
was excellent—the best, I believe, the Prince has
enjoyed sines. his arrival at Ardverikie. His Royal
Highness killed three roe-bucks and twelve brace of
birds, and returned to the Lodge at two o'clock to
lunch.
In the afternoon, the Queen, Prince Albert, and the
royal children, drove out to Cluny Castle on a visit to
Cluny Macpherson. The Royal Family rode in a
phaeton, drawn by four beautiful grey Arabian
ponies, and were accompanied by the Duke and
Duchess of Norfolk, and General Wemyss, and at-
tended by two out-riders.
The weather had become much milder about mid-
day, and the afternoon, though rather cold, was calm
and clear. Cluny Castle is distant about 12 miles
from the Lodge. The road passes through the centre
of the parish, and besides giving t goad view of the
scenery of the district, is invested with numerous
objects of natural and historical interest. After leav-
ing the head of the loch it winds for two miles
along the edge of the Paatock, sometimes enclosed
in natural groves of birch, sometimes emerg-
ing into rich grassy holmes, and at others
mounting over precipices, with the smooth stream
purling at their base, or leaping down a flight of
rocky steps in successive falls—all combining to form
one of those scenes of quiet rural beauty which in
Scotland so frequently steal upon the traveller when
least expected. The Paatock is a good trouting
stream. It rises in the depths of Ben Aulder forest,
and, after flowing six miles northward, changes its
course by a rapid bend, and runs westward into
Loch Laggan, whence it is carried by the
Spears and the Lochy to the Western Ocean.
It is a curious fact, and one which illustrates
the elevated position of the parish of Laggan,
that another stream, which rises within a mile and a
half of the source of the Paatock, pursues quite an
opposite course—passing through Loch Ericht, Loch
Rannoch, and the Tay, to the Eastern Ocean. And,
in like manner, proceeding along the road to Cluny
Castle, you find, a little way beyond the spot where
the Paatock begins to run towards Loch Laggan,
that the streams pass eastward through the Vale of
Spey to the Moray Firth. It seems that the main-
land rises to its greatest elevation among the wilds of
Laggan, and that the rain which falls from the clouds
upon these dizzy heights descends in all directions
upon the lower countries with which they are sur-
rounded on every side.
Issuing from the glen through which the Paatock
runs, the road passes through Strathmashie, and
then stretches along the more open country which is
watered by the Spey. Strathmashie was formerly
divided into small farms, but is now occupied by a
gentleman of the Macphersons, who devotes it
partly to arable and partly to pastoral purposes,
but chiefly the latter. It is separated from
Glensherra by a series of grey rocky mounts ;
and on the almost& inaccessible summit of one of
these the remains of an ancient fortification are still
to be seen. A wall three yards in thickness, and
built with large flags or broad stones, without mortar,
runs round the edge of the summit, enclosing an area
which is said to measure 500 feet in length, and 250
feet in breadth. It was probably employed as a place
of protection siipiathe eagle, acid probably also the
women and ailaren, in times,,of foreign invasion
or domestic war; and, as it looks directly down
over the extensive plains- of the Spey, a fire
lighted on it must have 'been a most effectual
signal of alarm to the inhabitants of that rich
and comparatively populous territory. Behind
this range of rocks, in the mouth of Glensherra,
stands the Roman Catholic chapel—a very plain but
neat erection, to which apartments are attached for the
residence of the priest. It is impossFle to conceive
a more chaste yet wild and gloomy solitude than that
which has been chosen as the site of this place of
worship. The Spey issues from Glensherra in the
form of a tiny stream, and passes down as
far as the eye can stretch over a level
country, studded with clumps of trees, and varie-
gated with the multifarious tints of harvest.
Country mansions, farm-houses, huts and bothies, rear
their many-coloured walls in populous profusion. One
perceives at a glance that the great majority of the
1,200 inhabitants of Laggan are domiciled in this
plain. Corryarrick and the Monadlia mountains
bound the valley on the north, while the dark blue
hills of the Grampians enclose it on the south. Here
it was where Sir John Cope made his well-known
and much-ridiculed movement, by which he suddenly
diverged to Inverness, and left the south country
open to the march of the Pretender, who lay en-
camped with his forces on the north side of Cor-
ryarrick. The cowardice of his troops, and the
disadvantageous character of the ground, render the
course pursued by Cope the wisest that could have been
devised. The army, which was afterwards so easily
routed at Prestonpans, would have cut a very sorry
figure, and fared a great deal worse, in this secluded
valley of the Spey, where they would have found no
means of refuge or escape. It is impossible to have
the mind thus cast back on the stormy period of the
Rebellion, without reflecting on the altered circum-
stances of the present times. A hundred years have
only elapsed, and the representative of the house of
Brunswick passes through these scenes of former
strife unattended by armed men or any other guard,
save the love which burns for her in Highland hearts,
on a friendly visit to the descendants of a chief who
was the bosom .friend of the Pretender, and the sworn
enemy of her line !
The road crosses the Spey by a handsome wooden
bridge, at the end of which, on the north side of the
river, stands the parish church—a plain building sur-
rounded with burying-ground, and enclosed with a
row of fine trees. It was built a few years ago on
the same site as its two predecessors, both of which
must have been very short-lived, as an octogenarian
residing in the neighbourhood informed us that
he had witnessed the erection of them both.
Masonry must be very defective in a country
where the human body is so greatly more dura-
ble than temples of stone and lime. Previous to
the occupation of the present site, public worship
was conducted in an old barn situated a considerable
way farther up the river ; and it was in this rude
building that Divine service was first celebrated in
the parish according to the Presbyterian form. The
old parish remained in the hands of the Roman
Catholics and the Episcopalians to a very late period.
The oldest Presbyterian minister of whom I could get
any account was a Mr. Macintyre ; and a story is told
of him which is creditable alike to his diligence and his
wit. The manse and the place of worship were situated
o n opposite sides of the river; and as there was no bridge
in those days, the minister was obliged to ford the
Spey before he could reach the old barn. On one
occasion a heavy flood bad rendered the ford impas-
sable,waithad easembledwo,uledn but the people

to deliver to them his weekly message over the bosom
of the swollen stream.
A neat monument in the churchyard points out
the grave of the Rev. James Grant, the husband of
the late Mrs. Grant, favourably known to the public
by her "Letters from the Mountains," and other
literary works on the scenery and manners of the
Highlands. Inscriptions on marble detail the leading
circumstances in the lives of this amiable couple.
Mr. Grant died in December, 1801 ; and his widow,
after a long and heroic struggle in behalf of her
family, died at Edbiburgh in 1838.
About two miles below the church you reach
Cluny Castle—a massive and substantial residence,
built o f the granite of the neighbouring hills. Cluny
and his lady had only received notice of her Majesty's
intention to honour them with a visit about an hour
before the arrival of the royal cortege. Little time
was allowed therefore for any formal preparations, but
by the time her Majesty had reached the gateway, 30
men in Highland garb, with a a piper at their head,
were drawn up in front of the Castle. Cluny himself
in his usual costume of kilt and philabeg, and Mrs.
Macpherson, were also in waiting for the arrival of
their Royal visitors. The Duke of Norfolk handed
the Queen from the phaeton, and her Majesty, the
Prince, and the rest of the royal party were ushered
into the castle. About a quarter of. an hour was
spent in inspecting the various antiquities which have
remained in the custody of the Macphersons since
the Rebellions, after which the royal party went out
into the grounds, and visited the garden and other
places of interest in the vicinity, Cluny Castle is sur-
