DUBLIN-SETT. 24,

There was a good supply of new grain at our market to-
day, and the business generally quiet. Wheat of prints
quality supported the currencies of Tuesday, but middling
samples and oats of all kinds were 6d cheaper. Malting
barley was taken steadily at our last quotations, and for two
or three extra fine parcels even higher rates were paid, but
they are not fairly quotable. Grinding barley was 6d to Is
cheaper.

The Union de la Sarthe states that a very advantageous
sale of hospital property had just been made in that depart-
ment by the establishment of Chateau-du-Loir. Some pieces
of ground, which had been let out at 180 f. a-year, and the
total value of which was estimated at 7,405 f., were sold by
auction at 16,658 f., or more than double the estimated
worth. The Union adds that the produce of this sale will
augment to a very considerable extent the resources of the
hospital.

An account was given some time back of a
diamond, said to be of great value, having got into the pos-
session of a Portuguese, who had taken it to a watering'
place in Germany. Afterwards a statement was made that
some of the best lapidaries of Vienna and Paris had de-
clared it to be merely a topaz, and of no great value. The
possessor, it appears, not considering himself defeated, de-
termined to appeal to the decision of the Venetian jewellers,
who are considered very superior judges. A letter from
Venice thus relates the somewhat melancholy end of this
affair :—" The holder of the disputed jewel arrived at
Venice, attended by several persons, who had made him
advances of money. He there submitted the stone in ques-
tion to the examination of several jewellers, and amongst
them to Righetti, of the Rialto. On his applying the usual
tests, and endeavouring to scratch it, it split almost in two.
This result was overwhelming, as it was but too clear that
the pretended diamond had fallen altogether from its as-
sumed rank. The Venetians unanimously declared it to
be not even a Brazilian topaz, but only one found in Saxony.
The unfortunate proprietor was so much affected at the in-
telligence that he became deranged in his mind, and two
days after was found in one of the lagoons, when life was
almost extinct. He was saved from suicide, and taken to an
hospital, but long continued speechless. The individual
most interested in his success, after himself, had an attack
of paralysis, and on his recovering commenced legal pro-
ceedings against the unfortunate possessor of the stone, who
is looked upon as the victim of lus own delusions."
[AnvEnTisEmENT.]—Holloway's Pills.—The sufferings
to which delicate females are subjected by ignorant prac-
titioners, and the no less serious evils they endure in con-
sequence of self-neglect, are terrible to contemplate. In all
disorders of the sex, and in every crisis perilous to the life
and health of women, youthful or aged, married or single,
they might regulate their own healthwithout risk or trouble
if they would provide themselves with these Pills, and take
them according to the printed directions, which are so plain
and simple that a child could be guided by them. They are
composed of rare balsams, without a single particle of mer-
cury or any other deleterious substance, and are therefore
as safe as they are efficacious.

Porter, Athol-street, Perth." " Clunbury, Shropshire, Dec.
22, 1856.—Gentlemen,—Being one of your greatest debtors
in respect to the Revalenta Arabica, I beg to offer you my
testimony in its favour. For many years I suffered several,'
from chronic rheumatism, which at length induced a com-
plication of nervous diseases that made me perfectly miser-
able. The most approved remedies in medicine and diet
were had recourse to in vain, the faculty of digestion wag
brought to a complete stand still, and death must aPP.a.'
rently have soon resulted had not my attention been provi-
dentially drawn to the Revalenta Arabica. The very
satisfactory character of the testimonials induced me to
make a trial of it ; even within a few days after I com-
menced using it some of the worst symptoms were so much
subdued as to enable me to take a sufficient quantity of food,
and drink without any injurious consequences. This I had
not been able to do for four years' previously, and during'
the last two months of this time not in any measure except
at the imminent risk of my life, though the greatest car?
was used in the selection of what was taken ; sleep had
nearly forsaken me, this has been restored to me, and I inn
now, after having taken the Revalenta for some time,
able to perform those functions of animal life which
before had been early suspended in me, but to explain
all the benefit which I have derived from it would
be to fill a pamphlet.—l am, &c., James Chapman''
