PAINTING WITHOUT SMELL ; a fact ac-
complished by the use of the newly discovered SWEET OIL
of TURPENTINE, instead of the deadly abomination called
ioil or
spirits of turpentine. Paint mixed with it is free from smell, is m•
proved in brilliancy of colour, and the baneful properties of the lead
being neutralized, does not emit those noxious exhalations which
have hitherto been so universally associated with painting. By this
really valuable discovery house painting is now converted into a sa-
nitary operation, that may be effected at any seaFon of the year,
being productive of health and comfort, without causing the slightest
derangement to the domestic economy.

FOUGERE'S CELEBRATED OVERCOATS.
"Mr. Feagere, of 6, Conduit-street, Tailor to his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, and the successful patentee of the celebrated WELLING-
TON SuazouT(now worn by almost every nobleman and gentleman in
the kingdom, and suitable for every season of the year), has again
provided for the comfort of the public, having just introduced an..
ther new coat for winter, called the ROYAL SIBERIAN OVERCOAT,'
which although perfectly porous, will resist twenty-four hours' in-
cessant rain, and while as light as a cork, is warm, pliant, and com-
fortable as fur. Although richly trimmed, so as to be suitable to
first-class wearers, the price is only Fifty Shillings. We heartily wish
Mr. Fougere the success which his ingenuity and enterprise merit."

REVIEW OF THE WORE,

La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before as
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

HURRICANE ON FRrDAY NIGHT

AT ABERDEEN.
(From the Aberdeen Herald of Saturday.)
During the past week the weather was mild and set-
tled, but yesterday afternoon it suddenly changed for
the
.worse. A southerly breeze, which has prevailed
throughout the week, increased to a hurricane, andla con-
siderable quantity of rain fell. Towards evening the
gale increased in violence, carrying off a great num)er
of chimney-pots, projecting signs, and gentlemen's hats.
Towards ten o'clock, the hurricane to which we have
referred above, became particularly violent, and we are
sorry to state that loss of life, and considerable damage
to Property, has been the result. A deplorable accident
happened at the New Gas Work, shortly after ten
o'clock. The roof of the retort house, which was
constructed with an iron frame, and covered with slates,
was Suddenly jerked up at the south side, fell with a
cmreansh., and smashed into fragments. There were eight
man nameda

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 13th December con-
tains a proclamation by the Imperial Central Com-
mission of the communiture, stating that the regula-
tions laid down by the proclamation of the Ist of Nov.,
when the city of Vienna was declared in a state of
siege, will remain in full force, and that the following
cases are, therefore, still amenable to trial by martial
law :

1. Concealing or retaining weapons.
2. Seducing the soldiery to break their oath,
exciting to revolt, or aiding or abetting the same;
refusing to disperse at an illegal assembly when
commanded to do so by the competent authorities.
3. Carrying weapons at a tumultuous assembly.
The Wiener Zeitung of the l 2th instant like wise
contains the announcement of two fresh commuted
sentences.

At the sitting of the Diet, at Kremsier, on the 11th
instant, a remonstrance was presented by the Deputy
of Dalmatia respecting the late appointment of Baron
JELLAcnicu as Governor of Dalmatia, and requesting
to be informed whether the appointment of his Ex-
cellency Field-Marshal Lieutenant Baron JlLLA-
cuicu as civil and military Governor of Dalmatia
may induce the expectation of the long-desired and
needed alteration of an independent administration
and autonomy of Dalmatia.
The Ministers requested that a written interpella-
tion might be presented to them, promising, after due
deliberation, to give an answer.
We learn from Milan that Field-Marshal RA-
DETZKY, on receiving information of the abdication
of FERDINAND, and the accession of FRANCIS
JOSEPH, issued the following address to the army :
" The Italian army saw the youthful Arehduke gal-
lantly expose himself to the enemy's fire at the en-
gagement of St. Lucia—it saw him enduring the im-
mense fatigues of a long and tedious march, in the
midst of bad weather, with cheerfulness and courage.
The fairest, hopes are centred in this event—a powerful,
united, free Austria! Soldiers! Companions in arms of
my declining days, I must this day impart to you an im-
portant communication. You are well acquainted with
the difficult and trying events which, in the course of
the past year, have befallen the monarchy of our common
fatherland. His Majesty, our good, beloved Emperor
Ferdinand, has resolved, after mature deliberation, to re-
sign the throne of his ancestors, and in these tempes-
tuous times to commit the reins of government to more
youthful hands. Following his august example, his Im-
perial Highness the Archduke Francis Charles has also
renounced his right to the succession; and his son
has Francis Josepl- by right of inheritance, ascended the
Imperial throne.

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURGR' DEC. 7.—By an imperial ukase
Prince Sias]maxi has been appointed President of
the Department for Military Affairs ; Count GURGEN
President of the Department of State Economy ; and
Prince TSCHERNTEIHEN President of the Ministerial
Committee.
Accounts from Tiflis state that the Stadtholder of
the Caucasus, Woßoiczow, had returned thither from
the Crimea, and had again left for Erivan.
The official report of the cholera in the city is as
follows :
On the 4th of December there were 55 cholera
patients under treatment. On the sth there oc-
curred 7 new cases, recovered 3, under treatment
59. The number of cases since the commencement
of the disease is not given, but it must be very con-
siderable ; it appears to be less fatal than at the coin-
mencement.

FROM THE RUSSIAN FRONTIER, DEC. 4.
The Cologne Gazette says :—" The secret influence
of the Prussian Government on the mgtrolaings of the

Russian troops appears evidently to be confirmed.
Certainly it would be a very remarkable coincidence
if the definitive appointment of the Diet at Kremsier,
and the popular Ministerial programme, should occur
simultaneously with the withdrawal of the Russian
troops from the Gallician frontier. So much is cer-
tain, that three days ago the aide-de-camp of the
CZAR arrived at Radmillow, summoned by the Rus-
sian Consul of Brody, and that next day the troops
quitted the nearest frontier station, and retired further
inland, to Constantinow Winice, in the Government
of Wuthgwina and Podolia."

with begging and having committed a violent outrage and
assault upon him, by which he was severely injured.
The constable exhibited several dreadful marks on his
face and head, his eyes being blackened and swollen, and
he was in a very weak state. He deposed that numerous
complaints had very recently been made to the police of
a set of ruffianly vagrants prowling about the roads of
Holloway, Islington, and other parts, begging of ladies,
and boys and girls; and their manners and appearance
were of so repulsive and daring a character that some
ladies had been so intimidated that they went into fits.
The description of the prisoner's person was given; and
on Saturday afternoon, about two o'clock, Isitness was
on duty in the Holloway-road, when he saw the prisoner
accost and follow several ladies in a most rude and
insulting manner, evidently menacing them; and some
seemed to be so frightened that they gave him money
through terror. Witness hastened towards him, and
said such conduct could not be suffered, and he
must take him into custody, when the prisoner
placed himself in a fighting attitude, and with the most
horrid imprecations, swore that he would knock out his
-- brains if he dared to interfere with him, and he
immediately after that struck him a violent blow on the
face, which blackened his eye, and was about to repeat
the blow when witness rushed at him to prevent further
violence and to apprehend him. The prisoner then bit
and kicked him in a brutal manner, and in the struggle
they fell to the ground; and so violent were the attacks
of the prisoner, that witness had no doubt he would
have been murdered by him had it not been for the
timely arrival and interference of some officers and gen-
tlemen, who rendered him every assistance. The pri-
spn,r resisted like a madman, and after kicking, biting,
and struggling, he was secured with the greatest difficulty,
and conveyed to the station-house.
This evidence having been eeefic filed,
Mr. TYRWHITT said, he had never met with a more
daring ruffian; ho had been guilty of a violent and
cowardly outrage, which deserved severe punishment.
He was accordingly committed to the House of Correc-
tion with hard I tbour for three months.
The prisoner, on hearing the sentence, exhibited an
evident disposition to make an attempt at escape, and
eyed the officers near him; he would not move from the
bar, and was putting himself into a fighting attitude,
when the officers seized him, and after a violent effort,
he was eventually conveyed to prison in the police van.

ST. PETERSIMEGR, DEC. 7.—By an imperial ukase
Prince SHASRIOB2(I has been appointed President of
the Department for Military Affairs ; Count GURGEN
President of the Department of State Economy ; and
Prince TSCHERNTSREN President of the Ministerial
Committee.
Accounts from Tiflis state that the Stadtholder of

the Crimea, and had again left for Erivan.
The official report of the cholera in the city is as
follows :
On the 4'h of December there were Si cholera
patients under treatment. On the sth there oc-
curred 7 new cases, recovered 3, under treatment
59. The number of cases since the commencement
of the disease is not given, but it must be very eon
siderable ; it appears to be less fatal than at the corn.
mencement.

FROM THE RUSSIAN FRONTIER, DEC. 4.
The Cologne Gazette says The secret influence
of the rrusgAn Government on the mailings of the

Russian troops appears evidently to be confirmed.
Certainly it would be a very remarkable coincidence
if the definitive appointment of the Diet at Kremsier,
and the popular Ministerial programme, should occur
simultaneously with the withdrawal of the Russian
troops from the Gallician frontier. So much is cer-
tain, that three days ago the aide-de-camp of the
CZAR arrived at Radmillow, summoned by the Rus-
sian Consul of Brolly, and that next day the troops
quitted the nearest frontier station, and retired further
inland, to Constantinow Winice, in the Goyernmeot
of Wothgwina and Podolia."

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The report that General iro; BONIN intended to
resign the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Schles-
wig-Holstein army into the hands of the Government
caused great consternation among the inhabitants,
and they voted a unanimous address to the general,
entreating him to retain the command, and pro-
mising that his endeavours for the maintenance of
discipline in the scarcely organized Schleswig-Hol-
stein army should not only meet with no opposition
in the country, but have its warm support.
General BoNIN was evidently moved at this proof
of confidence, and dilated on the necessity of strict
discipline in the army. It was impossible, the Gene-
ral said that he should be able to state the motives of
his command to every individual soldier; he was re-
sponsible to the Government and to the country ;
that he would submit to the Government, whether in
respect to the openly declared sentiment of the
country, it considered that he could act with con-
fidence as General of the Schleswig-Holstein troops;
and if this were the case he would exert all his
energies as heartily as heretofore for the benefit of
the country.
The deputation waited on Count REVENTLOW, and
he replied, in the name of his colleagues, that he be-
lieved he could give the assurance that the Govern-
ment was of the same mind as the deputation, and in
compliance with the wish of the country would in-
duce the General to recall his decision.

A letter from Schleswig states that General VON
BONIN has sent Lieut.-Colonel VON ZASTROW to
Berlin, in order, if possible, to effect the recall of the
mandate commanding the return of all Prussian
officers who had been in command of the various
Schleswig-Holstein battalions. One of these officers,
Prince WALDIMAR, who commanded the cavalry
brigade, has meanwhile resolved to return to Prague.
KIEL, DEC. 14.—General approbation is expressed
at the fact that the six battalions which marched into
this city again yesterday from the cantonments at
Rendsburg, on hearing the intelligence that General
VON BONIN intended to resign the command of the
army, immediately resolved unanimously to send a
deputation to the highly venerated General at Schles-
wig-Holstein, entreating him to remain at the head
of the Schleswig-Holstein army.—Hamburghßorsen-
halle, Dec. 15.

FRANKFORT.

There is every probability that the Diet will agree
to the proposition making the supreme Headship of
the Empire hereditary, and that the King of PRUSSIA
will be elected to the vacant office. M. SCRAMMING,
who was considered the representative of the Austrian
party, has resigned the office of Minster of the
Empire, and is succeeded by M. HENRY VON GA-
GERN, who is the leader of the Prussian party.
It is said that M. MOLKE, Minister of Justice, also
intends to resign, as he does not wish to form part
of an entirely Prussian Ministry. Austria has
formally declared her intention not to contribute to
the formation of a German fleet, and has recalled
her representative at the Customs Congress. M. DE
SCHMERLING was desirous that the National Assembly
should resume negotiations with Austria on the que-
tion of German utility; and he was unsuccessful in
his endeavours, and he therefore resigned. There
now remain but two parties—the Prussian party and
the Austrian party.
When the German Parliament first met, there was
every disposition to elect the Emperor of AUSTRIA to
the headship of the empire, and thus restore to him
his old title of Emperor of Germany ; and as a proof
of the existence of this disposition, we may mention
the election of the Archduke JoUN as regent. To
what are we to attribute the sudden change in the
feelings of the Assembly, but to the disgust which
all Germans feel at the recent massacres at Vienna.
The murder of ROBERT BLUM has cost the ,ihouse
of Hapsburg the empire of Germany.
The Frankfort Assembly in its sitting on the 14th
came to the following resolution by a majority of
274 to 187 :—" That no decision of the Diet which
has not yet obtained the sanction of the head of the
empire be repeated in the same session ; but that, if
any decision of the Diet be brought forward in three
successive sessions, and be confirmed without any
alteration, such decision to have the force of law even
if the sanction of the head of the empire do not
follow." It will be seen, therefore, that the principle
of a suspensive veto is acknowledged.
London, England, 1848-12-19

CANTON.

The criminal judge of Canton has strictly prohibited
the drowning of female children, and has also issued
severe prohibitions against lotteries.
The Chinese authorities have been [taking the most
energetic measures for the suppression of piracy and
against assisting pirates.
The following proclamation has been issued by
Chow:—
"In Canton every place is filled with robbers, said
plunder is of frequent occurrence. I have several times
adopted measures for their seizure, as is on reoord.
There is one man, Shik-woo.sze, who boldly dares to
rob on the sea (he, indeed, is addicted to wickedness), to
the great injury of merchants. Now, the great offioer
has taken the command of the troops in order to exter-
minate pirates; in every spot they are on the alert to
seize them: this is very severe. I fear treacherous people
supply them with provisions, thereby involving them-
selves and their relations in difficulties.
"Therefore, I issue this proclamation, addressing
my-
self to the policemen and gentry for their information.
You ought mutually to warn each other.
in Do not sup-
ply the robbers, and entangle yourselves the law. As
soon as any come on shore to disturb and pillage, imme-
diately sound the gong, that they may be seised and
delivered up for trial. If yoti dare secretly to supply,
protect, or conceal them, the moment you are discovered
you will certainly be severely judged. Each ought im-
plicitly to obey. Do not disobey. Hasten! Hasten! A
special command."—China Mail, Oct. 26.
Two robber captains have been seized at Canton, and
after decapitation, their heads were st k
.t.ip as a warn.
ing to evil-doers. The district of P :-yn has not paid
up its taxes, and the magistrate t Eve addressed a
very pathetic appeal to the people, to rge the payment
of the dues, so as to enable him to forward at the pro-
per time the requisite sums. This will perhaps not be

&EVIIW OF THE WORK,

La'Afert on the Inflrratie of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
Into which such scenes 'must plunge him ! In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing In these
pages Is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Government has, it is said, given
orders to concentrate an army of 120,000 men in the
provinces of the Rhine on the frontiers of France.
This is no doubt intended to be the advanced guard
of the re-actionary faction. Prussia is to restore
royalty in France, while Russia keeps Germany in
obedience.

The KING, in reply to an address, presented to him
the other day by a Rhenish deputation, said, in allu-
sion to the election of Louis NAPOLEON, " There is
no doubt that Germany is menaced, and I hope that
should I call my people to arms, they will show them-
selves worthy of their fathers in 1813 and 1814."
The words of the Duchess of ORLEANS, who has
been in constant communication with the Prussian
Court since February, afford a pregnant commentary
on these military preparations. " The time to
work for a restoration," said the Duchess,
" will be when Louis NAPOLEN shall be
elected President of the Republic." The French
Republic will,
.no doubt, be prepared to give these
foreign reactionaries a warm reception ; but it would
perhaps be as well that the President of the Republic
should not appoint any more Orleanist Generals to
important commands.

FRANKFORT.
In the sitting of the German Parliament on the
22d, Simrsost__of, Koningsburg, the new President,
took his seat -its'' for the first time, and
delivered an inaugural address, in the course of which
he passed the highest eulogium on his predecessor
GAGBRN. The Parliament afterwards proceeded to
discuss the report on the budget.

POLAND.
The Russian Government has established a cordon
of watchmen, extending from the vicinity of Thorn,
round the whole of the Prussian frontier of Poland.
These watchmen are in companies of five each, eta.
tioned at short distances from each other. Each
company has a hut, and the men patrol constantly to
the next hut and back. They stop every traveller,
and send back all whose papers are not en regle.
They keep a journal which is sent every day to the
superior officer, whose duty it is to make a rename of
these: journals, which is daily transmitted to Prince
PASERWITCH at Warsaw, who, having perused it,
sends it on immediately to St. Petersburgh.
