PORTRAITS WHICH DO NOT

FLATTER.

The Prefect of the Loir et Cher, as soon as he was in-
formed of the evasion of the Count de Montemolin, ad-
dressed to the mayors of the department a circular, con-
taining a minute description of the persons of the Spanish
Pretender, as well as that of Cabrera. The Count is
described as follows : _ _

with facility, but with a strong foreign accent ; the
knees turned in, which is more particularly apparent
when walking ; holds himself very erect ; a turn in the
left eyeball, showing at times the whole of the white •

eyes."
Ramon Cabrera is thus described :

1 metre 63 centimetres ; black hair and eyebrows, or-
dinary forehead, greyish brown eyes, middle-sized nose,

CONTAGIOUS AND EPIDEMIC DISEASES.—By an
Act of last session (9 and 10 Victoria, chap. 96), provi-
sion was made for the mere speedy removal of certain
nuisances, as well as to enable the Privy Council to
make regulations for the prevention of contagious and
epidemic diseases. According to the preamble of this
statute it was considered expedient, for the purpose of
preserving the health:of divers of her. Majesty's subjects,
that better provision should be made for the removal of
certain nuisances likely to promote or increase disease.
On the receipt of the certificate of two medical men
certain public officers, specified in
.the Act, can complain
to justices of the existence of n msances.- The justices
have power to summon the parti es, and to make an order
for the removal of the same, and in default the parties
complaining may enter the premises and remove the
nuisance. The costs and expenses incurred can be re-
covered from the owner or occupier of the premises. By
the fifth section the Privy Council are empowered to
issue orders at any time to prevent the spreading of con-
tagious and epimedic diseases. The Act contains twenty-
two sections, and three schedules of forms to be used.
A NEW ROMAN NOVEL.—Mr. Herbert, the dis-
tinguished author of " Oliver Cromwell," after the ex-
ample of Bulwer and Lockhart, is, it appears, about to
test his powers as a delineator of the manners and cus-
toms of classic times, by the production of a work en-
titled " The Roman Traitor, a True Tale of the Re-
public." We hail this announcement with great
pleasure. Mr. Herbert has already given sufficient
evidence of his ability as a novelist, to leave not a doubt
of success, as far as the interest arising from the con-
struction of his story is concerned ; and we understand
that almost all the characters are veritable and renowned
personages of the Republic, and that they are depicted
with a degree of skill and accuracy, displaying a great
amount of classical learning on the part of this popular
writer.

[ADVERTISE➢fENT.]—HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—A CURE
FOE ALL FEMALE COMPLAINTS.—Women, from a variety of causes,
are more often out of order than men, and require a medicine pecu-
liarly suitable to their sex, to operate so searchingly upon the whole
system as to produce the effect required. The maiden, the mother,
and the middle-aged thus frequently stand in need of an effectual
medicine, and there is certainly none that will bring about such
wonders in the cure of female complaints as Holloway's Pills. Those
who have not been well for years might, in a few days, derive that
benefit from their use which perhaps had long been sought for in
vain. These pills are sold at Professor nolloyay'a titigabbiaent
244, Strand, Unclog, and Py all ctruggi§te.
