LADIES, during the heat and dust of Summer,
will find ROWLAND'S KALYDOR a most refreshing pre-
paration for the complexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and re-
laxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately afford-
ing the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and healthful
state of the skin. Composed of choice exotics of balsamic nature,
utterly free from all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful
in its effects, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR tends to neutralise the
action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to promote that
healthy action of the microscopic vessels, by which its general well-
being and the beauty of its appearance are so essentially promoted.
Freckles, tan, spots, pimples, flushes, and discoloratiens, fly before
its application, and give place to delicate smoothness, and the glow
of beauty and of bloom. In cases of sun-burn, or stings of insects,
its virtues have long been acknowledged.
Beware of spurious " Kalydors" for sale, containing mineral
astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant
action endangering health. It is imperative on purchasers to see that
the words. " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper, and " A.
ROWLAND SON, 20, Hatton-garden," also engraved (by desire
of the Hon. Commissioners) on the Government Stamp affixed on
each bottle. Price 4s. Gd. and Bs. Gd. Sold by the Proprietors, and

never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does zot re,quire the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and

and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. I
The contemplated visit of Lord John Russell to this
country is the subject of abundant speculation here, and
minute details are published,,regarding not only the objects
of his Lordship's journey, but also of his intended route.
The most circumstantial statement that has appeared is
the following, from the London correspondent of the
Freeman's Journal. It is dated Saturday night:—
" Lord John Russell announced to his colleagues, at a
Cabinet Council held this afternoon at Downing-street, that
he purposed starting for Ireland on Thursday next. The
Premier, accompanied by his lady, daughter of the Earl of
Minto, has made arrangements for leaving London by the
express train, via Holyhead, so that unless some unforeseen
accident should occur, you will, in the course of Friday, have
amongst the good citizens of the Irish metropolis the leader
of that Ministry which proposed, and carried by immense
majorities, four coercion Bills for Ireland, in the compara-
tively brief space of nine months. I am enabled to inform
vou that the Premier intends passing some few days with
you
Clarendon, either at Dublin Castle, or the Viceregal
Lodge; that he then dashes into the heart of the country,
with the view of ascertaining from personal-observation the
state of the harvest, the extent of the potato failure, and
the condition of the peasantry ; and that, having derived sash
-information as he considers necessary towards enabling him
to judge of the actual relief that may be required at the
hands of Government in the ensuing winter for the sustenta-
tion of the Irish people, and the prevention of famine, he will
proceed on the 16th or 17th of September to join her Majesty
at Balmoral Castle, in Scotland, probably embarking for the
land o' cakes' at Belfast, or some other northern port. Until
Lord John Russell reaches the royal party, Sir George Grey,
ecretary of State for the Home Department, will remain in
attendance on the Queen.
" During the period that the Prime Minister has arranged
to pass with the Queen's representative in Ireland, I believe
no doubt whatever exists—at least such is the prevailing
impression among political men .having access to sources of
information generally found correct—that he will express to
Lord Clarendon the desire of her Majesty's Ministers to se-
cure the complete and permanent pacification of Ireland by
gracious concessions; and, as I communicated last night, I
have excellent authority for thinking that one of the prin-
cipal features of this consultation between the Viceroy and
the First Minister of the Crown will be the expediency of
granting an amnesty to all concerned in ihe recent rebellion.
The Queen has expressed herself in favour of such an exten-
sion of the Royal prerogative, if her Ministers believed that
it could' be carried out with certainty of thereby laying a safe
foundation for improving the social and political condition of
the country. The people ,of England unequivocally express
their conviction that the future security and tranquillization of
Ireland would be best provided for by such a master-stroke
of policy; and the leading members of the Government have
sufficient wisdom to see that in a land covered with troops,
and held by military occupation only—with the prisons
crowded, the peasantry starving, and thousands of unexe-
cuted warrants in the hands of the police for months, the
effect of a general pardon for political offences could not
prove otherwise than calculated to lessen their difficulties,
and certainly a material consideration with the Whigs, to
prolong their tenure of office. It remains to be
ascertained whether Lord Clarendon reciprocates those
views. He will be a bold man indeed it be should run
counter to the will of his Royal Mistress, his colleagues,
and his own countrymen. But it is right I should state
that unless Lerd John Russell calculated on the most distinct
and positive assurance from the leaders now incarcerated
against future infraction of the law or instigation to revolt,
he would not hold out the shadow of hope to those who had
committed themselves by their want of foresight, prudence,
and discretion."
Mr. Meagher is quite restored to health. He was at-
tacked with a heavy cold of a feverish appearance, which
gave way before medical advice. He had not fever, as
was reported.

MORE ARRESTS.
On Saturday night twenty-one more of the Bailin-
garry insurgents were brought up from Thurles, and
lodged in Kilmainham gaol.
The Tralee Chronicle gives the following account of
another arrest
ARREST OF MR. Jusrmr SUPPLE.—We had hoped, see-
ing that those men who formed the Exile Club had dissolved,
in obedience to the law, and vindicated as that law had
been elsewhere, that in this county, for the peaceful and loyal
disposition of the majority of whose inhabitants we think We
may vouch, no arrests would take place. We are sorry,
however, to state, that Mr. Justin Supple, solicitor; and one
of the coroners for this county, was arrested at three
o'clock yesterday morning, by Sub-Inspector Wyse, Head-
Constable Willis, and Constable Sheehan, and imnrdiately
conveyed to our gaol. Mr. Supple, who was taken from
the connubial bed, was treated with every kindness, and the
arrest was made in the most delicate manner. A .search
was made for arms, but none were found; neither was there
anything of a treasonable character discovered among his
papers, of which an active scrutiny took place. The war-
rant sets forth for being concerned in treasonable practices,
and on suspicion of being guilty of high treason against her
Majesty the Queen, and rumour has it that those proceed-
ings on the part of the authorities have been based on a letter
of Mr. Supple's found among Mr. Smith O'Brien's papers.
Other arrests in the town and neighbourhood are spoken of."
Mr. JOHN S. LALOR.—In reference to the reported arrest
of Mr. John Shee Lalor, the Tralee Chronicle says—" The
Limerick Chronicle was wrong in stating that Mr. J. S. Lalor
was arrested last week in Kenmare. Mr. Lalor is now in
Killarney, and by no means apprehensive of duresse, having,
though the president of a club, set his face against the late
insane movement of Smith O'Brien. The rumour must have
arisen out of the fact; that in consequence of his son being
refused arms by the Bench in Bantry, Mr. Lalor had sent
Mr. Thomas Gallwey with a hostile message to Mr. Sheilds,
8.M., which that gentleman, upon being called upon, while
on the bench, for an interview, warned him not to deliver.
On Friday last articles of bail, himself in 5004 and two sure-
ties in 2501. each, were exhibited against Mr. Lalor, in Kil-
ler ey." '
DEPARTURE OF THE FLERT.—The squadron on "parti-
cular service," under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir
Charles Napier, K.C.8., was detached from the immediate
orders of Rear-Admiral the Hon. H. D. Mackey, K.C.8.,
Commander-in-Chief on the Irish station. The ships belong-
ing to this fleet in Cove Harbour sailed out on Thursday.
They were the St. Viircnt, 120, bearing the flag of the Rear-
Admiral Sir Charles Napier; Prince Regent; 90 ; Bellerophon,
78 ; Frolic, 16 ; Helena, 16 ; Tweed, 10 ; Amphion, screw-
steamer, 32 ; Stromboli steamer, 6 ; Lucifer steamer,3..Each
vessel fired five guns as she left the harbour.—Cork Constitu-
tion.
SALE or Mn. DTIFFY's PROPELTY.—This interesting sale
was brought to a conclusion on Saturday by Mr. Dillon.
The anxiety manifested on the preceding days was not at all
abated. The attendance on Saturday was numerous and re-
spectable. The day's sale commenced with the library, and
then followed the prints, &c. As remarked in a former pub-
lication, it would be quite impossible to enter on the details
of the auction. The books brought very high prices, especi-
ally those containing Mr. Duffy e autograph. The furniture
used.antThe

the sale concluded, and up to the last moment a crowd re-
mained at the auction.—Freeman's Journal.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.—A murder of an infan
by its mother, accompanied by the suicide of the latter,
occurred at Worksworth, Derbyshire, on Friday. A
respectable married female, the wife of a master cooper
named Ford, having on the day named, pariaken of
breakfast with her husband, went upstairs with the ap-
parent intention of making the beds, but remaining
longer than usual, an inmate proceeded to ascertain the
cause of the delay, but was horror-struck on perceiving
the unfortunate woman in a pool of blood, dead on the
floor, and her child of the age of two months also dead
in the same room—both mother and infant exhibiting
dreadful gashes in the throat, no doubt inflicted by the
unhappy woman. Ford, the husband, is a steady and
industrious man, and no cause can at present be assigned
for the dreadful occurrence.
IMrORTAKT SALE Or LANDED ESTATES NEAR
YORK.-The abersfon freehold estate, consisting of a
residence, small park, farms, woods. and a large tract of
waste moor land, the whole 12,600 acres, situate be-
tween York and Scarborough, was brought to the
hammer, at the George Inn, York, on Friday last, by
Messrs. Farebrother, Clark, and Lye. The rental of
the estate, after deducting the out-goings and allowance
to tenants for tithe, leaves 5,7601. per annum, and was
sold in two lots, after a spirited competition, to W. W.
Caley, Esq., for 190,0001. A second lot, consisting of a
freehold farm-house, and 5G acres of chiefly moor land,
was sold to Captain Corns at 7001. The sale took place

FIRE AT EAST SiurrurtELD.—Sunday night, between
nine and ten o'clock, considerable alarm was caused in
Upper East Smithfield, by a sudden outbreak of a fire
upon the premises in the occupancy of Mr. Dratchan
Laydon, a clothier and slop-seller, carrying on business
in Parson's-street, a few doors from the corner of Wells-
street. Several engines arrived in quick succession, and
in less than an hour the fire was entirely extinguished,
but not until the stock in trade was totally consumed,
the lower part of the premises burned out,,and the re-
mainder materially damaged by fire and water. How
the fire originated could not be ascertained, neither
could it be learned whether or not the sufferer was in-
sured.t

of excitement, and increased the previous bitterness of
party feeling. On the receipt of the news of the deci-
sion, a large mob assembled in the streets, and broke
several windows. A very indignant manifesto has been
put out by the Liberal party, and Mr. Grenville Berke-
ley and Mr. Holland are spoken of as the candidates for
that party. Pending the issue of the writ no candidate
has, however, yet declared himself.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] Nervousness, Lowness of
Spirits, Disordered Stomachs, and Indigestion Cured by
Holloway's Pills.—The causes from which these com-
plaints arise are too numerous for recital, yet nothing
lays the foundation sooner than a studious or sedentary
life, which disorders the nerves, and other distressing
complaints follow such as deranged stomachs,;indigestion,
and lowness of spirits. There is no medicine so certain
as Holloway's Pills in allaying the irritability of the
nervous system, strengthening the tone of the stomach,
creating appetite, improvtng digestion, and invigorating
the constitution. Their purifying nature gives freedom
of circulation to the blood, so that by their use the
,fflicted are speedily restored to health. Sold by all
Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PonTsmourfr, SuNDAT.-I;sterday, at twelve o'clock,
the flag-ship and platform battery fired royal salutes in
honour of Prince Albert's birthday; the ships dressed.
Dr. Sir W. Burnett, the Director-General of the Medical
Department of the Navy, has been making his annual in-
spection of the medical departments connected with this
port during the past week.
In the future survey of war-steamers it is ordered by the
Admiralty that a joint report by the Surveyor of the Navy
and of the Controller of Steam Machinery departments shall
be made to them, each fully co-operating with the other.
Mr. Blake's splendid new 52-gun frigate Leander, in ordi-
nary at this port, is ordered to be advanced for the pendant.:
The Termagant, screw steam-frigate, of 1,650 tons, and
620-horse power, designed by White, of Cowes, and intended
to carry twenty-four heavy guns, arrived here yesterday
morning in charge of Mr. Bellamy, recently appointed
Master Attendant of Woolwich Dockyard, vice Elson, de-
ceased. An accident which was very near being attended
with disastrous consequences, occurred immediate]) on her
entering the harbour. The floating bridge which crosses
every fifteen minutes throughout the day, between Ports-
mouth and Gosport, was about one-third over from the
latter shore when the Termagant made her appearance at
the mouth of the harbour, with the pilot jack at her fore.
She was not visible before in consequence of a thick
mizzling, misty rain, which had been falling. The conductor
of the steam-bridge, it is thought, fancied he would be able
to get far enough over towards Portsmouth to be clear of the
fairway before the frigate got in, and consequently did not
stop and work back, as is the custom in such cases. The
consequence was, that the Termagant's helm was obliged
to be put to starboard to avoid a collision, which must
have been fatal to the bridge, and most probably all on
board. The Lightning steam-tender, Master Petley com-
mander, had just come into the harbour, with about 100
military invalids from the Belleisle and Resistance troop-
ships, and, as usual, had taken hold of one of the transport-
ing buoys just inside the track of the floating bridge. The
change of direction in the Termagant's course threw her
directly on the Lightning, and although her way was con-
siderably deadened, and her anchors let go as soon as the
danger was perceived, she struck the Lightning on the
port paddle-box and crushed it to atoms. The conse-
quences would have been horrible had she struck her with
any force, as the Lightning must have gone down, when
there is-little doubt nearly- all her invalid freight would
have perished. A Dutch vessel and the schooner Gipsy
Queen (the yacht of Sir H. Houghton) are reported consi-
derably damaged by the same collision. All the necessary
repairs have been ordered to be done at the expense of the
dockyard.
The Advice steam mail-packet, Lieutenant-Commander
Petch, arrived from Pembroke yesterday. She is ordered

MONDAY.—The Dauntless steam-frigate, of 1,496 tons and

also on board :—Captain Halsted, Commander Crispin, Mr.
Murray, superintendent engineer of this dockyard ; Mr. Baker,
chief engineer of the royal yacht, inspector of machinery
afloat ; Mr. Smith, inspector of screw propellers ; and Mr.
Fincham, the builder of the vessel. She went out at half-
past eight, and remained cruising to and fro between Spit-
head and Cowes until nearly seven o'clock, when she re-
turned into harbour. Taking the mean of her three first
runs, she made 7.715 knots, after which she increased to
8.2, making 261, revolutions as the maximum. It is consi-
dered that with a very trifling re-adjustment of her machi-
nery she will make a knot and a half more per hour.

SECRET CAUSES OF BAD MASON-WORK.—In nine
cases out of tea the operatives have not sufficient time
allowed them to execute their work in a proper man-
ner. If a man is seen by
.some contractors or their fore-
man to take a pride in doing his work well, he is told he
must not take so much pains with it, 9.S it is only so
and so, or that it.is going a great height, &c. ; and if he
does not take the hint, and move a little quicker, and
consequently much worse, he is paid off, as a warning to
the others.—An Operative Mason in the Builder.
