WATERPROOF CLOTHING, NOT CONFINING
PERSPIRATION.

BERDOE'S VENTILATING WATER-
PROOF FROCK
Is the only Garment which effectually excludes the rain, WITH-
OUT CONFINING PERSPIRATION. Its perfect effi-
ciency has long been fully proved by three years' trial, a very
large sale, and the recommendation of those who have adopted
it, as the most convenient and valuable protection from wea-
ther ever invented. It is light, gentlemanly, adapted to all
seasons, and peculiarly so for the SADDLE.
Also, THE WATERPROOF SHOOTING JACKET.
Made from a new, much approved, and very durable Material,
thoroughly impervious to the heaviest ra►n. Made only by
WALTER BERDOE, TAILOR, &c., No. d 9, CORNHILL,

CHINESE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
EIGHT ACCUSATIONS AGAINST KESHEN,
PRESENTED AT COURT BY E, THE LIEU-
TENANT-GOVERNOR OF KWANGTUNG.
First—He held interviews with, and received docu-
ments from, Elliot on equal terms.
Second—After his arrival at Canton, he did not choose
out and depute either literary or military mandarins to
go to Elliot, to speak about affairs, but only employed
in his office a traitorous Han (Chinese) namedPaonpang.
Third—The Admiral (Kwan) took the troops, and
proceeded out to sea to guard and watch the public in-
terests, but nothing whatever would Keshen communi-
cate to him, and when he (the Admiral) requested de-
finite instructions, he was forthwith met with angry
railing, and it became impossible for the Admiral him-
self to adjust these affairs of more or less importance.
Fourth—He issued orders to each of the forts that it
would not be allowed to those who might be covetous of
merit to ruin matters by opening fire with their mus-
ketry and great guns of their own accord, and conse-
quently these forts and the military stations were all lost
on the same day.
Fifth—He constrained Lekeen, the Adjutant-General,
to prepare an official despatch for him, acknowledging
his (Keshen's) offences, forcing him to affix his (Le-
keen's) seals to the same, and to present it to Elliot.
Sixth—He changed every measure for the worse, made
vague and incoherent representations to the Court, and
brought disaster upon the Admiral (who fell at the taking
of the Bocca Tigris.)
Seventh—At the offing of Szetsze (on the river above
the Rocca Tigris,) he fired salettes ' and went to receive
Elliot, and also despatched messengers to deliver his
commands to each of the forts, that they were to observe
the same arrangement, and receive Elliot in like manner.
Eighth—His affixed his seals to a document dismem-
bering a portion of our territory, and delivering it over
to these barbarian men for a place of residence.
I, E, the Lieut.-Governor (of Kwangtung), lay these
accusations before the Court.

In a sealed Envelope.—This day is published,
APRACTICAL and POPULAR TREA-
TISE, atfailteit and *Whin expl'e'ssiy for the USE of
the NON-MEDICAL READER, pointing out a successful
and never-failing mode of effectually Curing those dire Dis-
eases depicted in the works of Drs. Tissot, Solomon, Jordan,
Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE,
Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases.

This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin-
guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being
exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it
may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con-
tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various
stages of the complaint, which is divided into three,distinct
heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The
cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ;
and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand
divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon-
strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided.
The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been
hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis-
manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu-
lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.
The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay,
impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities,
comprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket
Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va-
rious wants. _ _

IMPORTANT MEMORIAL FROM KESHEN TO
THE EMPEROR, AND IMPERIAL REPLY.

The slave Keshen, a Minister of State. and acting
governor of the two Kwang provinces, kneeling, pre-
sents before the throne of the Great Emperor a state-
ment, relating how that the English foreigners have sent
a messenger to Chekeang (to restore Tinghae), how that
theyhave already restored us the forts of Shakok (Chu-
enpee), and 'l'akok, and the cruising vessels and salt
junks which they have previously captured, all of which
have been duly received, and how that the ships of war
of the said foreigners have already retired to the outer
ocean ; the said slave respectfully takes all these circum-
stances, and along with his most attentive observations
on the military position of the people offers them up,
begging that a Sacred glance may be bestowed upon
the same.
Whereas your slave, with a view to the defence of the
country and protection of the people; previously to the
receipt of your Majesty's commands, foolishly and con-
fusedly begged for a display of Imperial clemency in
favour of the English foreigners ;—et the same time
(seeing that such was opposed to your Majesty's wishes)
your slave repeatedly begged that his crime might he
visited with the heaviest punishment, as is duly recorded.
On the 28th day of the 12th moon of last year (20th
January, 1841), I received a despatch from the
Privy Council to the following effect :—" We have re-
ceived the following Imperial Edict"—" Whereas lie-
