ATKINSON'S CAMPHOR SOAP.

JAMES and EDWARD ATKINSON
respectfully solicit the attention of the Public to the
above article; they will not presume to point out the
anti-contagious qualities of Camphor, but they fearlessly
challenge a comparison with any article sold under the
name of Camphor Soap ; indeed, many have nothing of
Camphor but the name, but this may at once be known
by its fragrance and appearance. It is perhaps the most
powerful preparation of Camphor that can be formed in a
fixed state. It is a most excellent Soap for wa•hing, being
very mild, correcting all hardness and redness of the skin
arising from labour or inclement weather, and its sooth-
ing properties for chapped hauls are too well known to
need repetition. It readily dissolves in water, communi-
cating to it a flavour equal to what is usually sold as Spirits
of Camphor, and its aroma immediately fills the atmosphere
of the largest apartment.—Price Is. the square.
N.B. Prep ired alsl in Shaving Cakes, various sizes.

Aho ATKINSON'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCE
of CAMPHOR, the strongest preparation of Camphor that
can he made in a liquid state. A few drops added to
Lavender Water, Eau de Cologne, or any other article,
makes what is known as Camphorated Lavender, &c.
Also ATKINSON'S CAMPHOR PASTE, particu-
larly adapted to a cold season for preventing the hands
chapping and immediately allaying the pain.

SHOCKING BARBA II ITY.-A short time since
a brute in human form, in this town, finding a cat in the
house which did not belong to him, and which had strayed
in, owing to the door being left open, determined to kill
the inoffensive animal. Instead of driving it out, he shut
the door : the poor animal endeavoured to escape the
clutches of the wretch, and tried to make its exit by the
window, the shutters of which were, however, closed,
and it was thereby prevented. Poor puss next bolted up
the chimney fur protection, but to no purpose; for no
sooner had the cat disappeared, than the fellow seized a
gun and fired it up the chimney, which speedily brought
down the cat. The monster then seized it by the hind
feet, took it out of doors, and literally dashed it to pieces
against a wall ! —Boston Gazette.

HUNTINGDON, FEB. I.—A circumstance of
an extraordinary and melancholy nature has just transpired
here, and is this afternoon the subject of general conversa-
tion, involving, as it probably will, the lives of two indivi-
duals, one of whom has to this time filled a respectable sta-
tion in the world. The story is shortly this :—The female
domestic of a perso❑ living in the pariah of Stukeley, but
not very distant from the town of Huntingdon, having in •
dul4ed in an illicit intercourse with her master, became, it
would appear, encicnte, and was observed this morning to
be very unwell, and a medical man gave it as his opinion
that there was no doubt she had taken poison. After
much persuasion, and when there did not appear the
slightest hopes of her recovery, she confessed that she
had done so, and that the poison was given to her by her
master, whether for the purpose of producing abortion or
of taking away the girl's life, at present does not appear.
Her deposition has been taken before a Magistrate, and
the offender has been committed to prison. The girl ex-
pired on the Wednesday night, and an inquest will be held
on the body this day.— Cana/ridge Chronicle.

" Upon the opening of the Conference the Plenipoten-
tiaries of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, intimated that they
had not as yet received orders from their respective Courts
relative to the exchange or ratifications of the treaty signed
on the 15th November; but, as they were in the expec-
tat ion of receiving these orders, they requested that the pro-
tocol might remain open in their hands in case other Courts
should forthwith proceed in the ratifications of the said
treaties. In acceding to this request the Plenipotentiaries
of France and Great Britain declared that ❑otwithstand-
ing the importance which their Government attached to
the simultaneous exchange of the ratifications, they felt it
their duty to proceed without further delay, having reason to
fear that if they allowed another postponement to take
place doubts might he entertained of their intentions, and they
might have the effect of compromising the general peace.
In addition to this it was stated by the two Plenipoten-
tiaries that these determinations on the part of the. French
Government, and that of his Britannic Majesty, would in
no way relax their constant wishes or firm confidence to
pres-rve the same unanimity of sentiments and principles
—the same union with those Courts, which have been
prevented by distance, and the explanations which have
resulted from the treaty of the 15th November, from trans-
mitting to their Plenipotentiaries the acts of ratification
which they expect, or the order to exchange them. This
harmony and union were justly appreciated by the French
Government, and by the Government of his Britannic Ma-
jesty, who found therein a guarantee for the peace of Europe.
"In reply to this declaration the Plenipotentiaries of
Austria, Prussia, and Russia, expressed the sincere satis-
faction which they felt in receiving the explanations accom-
panying the communication of the decision come to by
their Governments. The Plenipotentiaries of Austria,
Prussia, and Russia could a•sure them that the three
Courts would feel greatly obliged by this proceeding, and
that they were actuated with the same desire of maintain-
ing that spirit of union, the salutary effects of which had
been so forcibly described ; that they would do every thing
in their power to preserve it; and that the stability of ge-
neral peace being their only object, their attentio❑ should
be constantly directed to its attainment.
"In consequence of the resolutions contained in the
present protocol it has been determined that the Plenipo-
tentiaries of the five Powers should inform the Belgian
Plenipotentiary that, inasmuch as some of their Courts
had not as yet forwarded the acts of ratification, or the
orders for exchanging them, the Conference had decided
that the protocol of the exchange of ratifications should
continue open for those Courts.
" This communication having been made to the Bel-
gian Plenipotentiary during this sitting of the Conference,
he laid becore the Members the annexed declaration.

" The sitting terminated with the exchange of the
ratifications of the treaty signed at London on the 15th
November, 1831, between the Plenipotentiaries of France,
the Plenipotentiary of Great Britain, and the Belgia❑
Plenipotentiary, respective!y.

" DECLARATION ANNEXED TO PROTOCOL NO. 55.

" The Belgian Plenipotentiary having been informed by
the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, France, Great Britain,
Prussia, and Russia, that in consequence of some of them
not having as yet received the acts of ratification which
they expected, or orders to exchange them, the Conference
of London had decided that the protocol of the exchange
of the ratifications should remain open for the said Courts,
he (the Belgian Plenipotentiary) declares that this mea-
sure, which had been adopted by their Excellencies, the
Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, affording
him (the undersigned)—as it would, no doubt, afford his
Government—the reasonable hope of the immediate rati-
fication by the three Courts, he therefore gave his adhe-
sion, in the name of the King of the Belgians, to the mea-
sure in question.

T ORRIJO S.

(From the Times.)

We extract from the last Spectator the following
biographical sketch of Madame de Torrijos, which
will bespeak for itself more powerfully than we
could do, the interest and sympathy of all benevo-
lent readers. What are English women doing ?
What are Ladies—those who pique themselves on
high birth and soft feelings—what are they about ?
Why do not they help, in her calamities, one who
was born with prospects as splendid as the proudest
of them all ? Their own day may yet be clouded.
We likewi.e call attention to two letters,—one
from Purbeck, the other from Wareham, signed "A
Friend to the Distressed," and stating, that a sub-
scription is on the point of taking place in that neigh-
bourhood for the amiable lady whose cause we have
been advocating.
(From the Spectator.)
" We quoted last week the simple and pathetic letter of
the noble widow of the late General Torrijos. A corres-
pondent, on whose information we can perfectly rely, has
furnished us with some facts respecting her history and
family, which have deeply interested us, and we doubt not
will be equally interesting to our readers. There are few
subjects of moral contemplation more worthy than that of
patience and resignation under suffering ; and the case
comes home with intimate acceptance when the sufferer
is of that sex which has a natural claim to our sympathy—
one wko has been educated with a delicacy that has givers
double keenness to her feelings, whether of pleasure or of
pain—and more especially still, where. the nature of the
sorrow is such that all who have dear friends, or who have
had such, may from anticipation or experience enter into it.
" Madame Torrijos, whose maiden name is Luisa Saerz
de Viniegra, is the daughter of the late Don Manuel Saenz
de Viniegra, the representative of a distinguished family
of Andalusia. Her mother, who was of the house of
Velasco, Dukes of Frias, was in her early youth a
favourite attendant on the Queen of Charles IV; arid
the Queens of Spain, it is well-known, are attended by
those only of noble birth. On her marriage she left the
Court, and accompanied her husband to the province
where he held a high command, and devoted herself to
the care of her family. After she had become the mother
of five children, she happened to be travelling with
them and her husband, escorted by a troop of soldiers.
when, on stopping to make some arrangement about the
carriage, one of the escort rested his musket against the
back of it ; the piece went off by accident, and shot Donna
Manuel through the body, and she expired almost immedi-
ately. At that time Luisa was about six years old ; to
early did the misfortunes of her eventful life begin. The
King and Queen had been her sponsors, and the Queen
wished to take charge of her on her mother's melancholy
death ; but Don Manuel preferred taking the education of
his children upon himself. Far from growing up in the
ignorance which we are accustomed to attribute to Spanish
ladies, Madame Torrijos acquired, under the care of her
excellent parent, a degree of mental cultivation which would
be accounted remarkable in an Englishwoman. The great
qualities of her mind, in which were combined true heroism
with the most feminine tenderness, were amply called forth
by the trying circumstances in which almost the whole of
her life way passed.

44 In 1808, when she was about fifteen years of age, her
Royal protectors claimed her from her father, who con-
sented to her removing to Court. Every preparation had
been made for her departure from her native province,
when the revolution of Aranjuez broke out, which de-
prived Charles of his throne. Soon after that event, con-
sidering that the disturbed state of Spain rendered it an
unsafe abode for his daughters, Don Manuel placed them
at Gibraltar under the care of his friend Admiral Val-
dez (the elder). These ladies were there known to
many of the English, and with not a few of them Ma-
dame Torrijos passed for the daughter of Admiral Val•
dez. Don Manuel was himself prevented leaving Spain
with his children, by his official duties. Ile held at
that time a situation which is nearly equivalent to that
of Judge-Advocate-General ; and it obliged him to be at
the head-quarters of the army. At a later period he was
Governor of Seville. At the first dawn of comparative
tranquillity the young ladies returned to their father's pro-
tection ; and soon after the eldest became the wife of Tor-
rijos, who then commanded Doyle's Legion, and whom
she never quitted, in danger, in victory, in prison, and in
exile. One of the winters of her married life she spent in
the highest inhabited spot of the Pyrennees ; and in that
neighbourhood her only child (which lived but a fee
months) was horn. At the battle of Vittoria she was
within hearing of the guns; and on other occasions she
has been within reach of them.

" On Ferdinand's first overthrow of the Constitutional
Government, in 1817, Torrijos was confined for three
months in the castle of Meant. During the whole of that
time, this delicate and tenderly nurtured woman was i❑
the habit of visiting the castle nightly on foot, in the dress
of the lowest class of the people, to carry succour and con-
solation to her husband : she was admitted by the conni-
vance of the soldiers, who were then devoted to Torrijos.
After his removal to the prison of the Inquisition at
Murcia, big wife was only allowed to see him once during
three years' confinement, though she entreated to be
allowed to share his dungeon. But she took up her abode
hard by the prison, where she occupied herself entirely in
providing such comforts as she was permitted to send him.
" The triumph of the Constitution in 1820 restored
Torrijos to liberty, and gave him the command of Murcia.
This seems to have been the most prosperous part of the
life of Madame Torrijos ; and she, no doubt, enjoyed the
more for her previous calamities the high distinction which
her husband now attained. She was with him during his
glorious but almost hopeless defence of Carthagena ; and
in 1824, after the capitulation, she came with him to Eng-
land ; where the absolute retirement in which this high-
minded pair continued to live prevented their being known
except to a very limited circle. During their residence i❑
England Madame Torrijos endured, with her husband,
many privations, but she endured them cheerfully. Edo.
cated as she had been in splendour and luxury, she thought
no occupation too menial, no labour too great, which could
add to the comfort or cheer the mind of her dear lord.
" When Torrijos finally left England, he considered it
advisable that his wife should proceed to Paris; to which
arrangement she most reluctantly consented. She never
saw him more. On his fate and that of his companions
we need not dwell—

" Sus cuerpos yacen in sangrienta pira
sus almas fibres al Empireo van.'
" The claims of Torrijos on the French Government,
under the shamefully violated treaty of Alicant and Cartha-
gena, must have been great ; but be never urged them for
himself, though he did for his companions in arms. His
private fortune he had sacrificed in the cause of constitu-
tional liberty ; nor did he recover either pay or allowance
for many months before the occupation of his country by
the French, as he devoted all that lie might justly have
claimed to the payment of his troops, in order to keep to-
gether as long as possible that army which was the last
hope of freedom in Spain. To the cause of Spain Torrijos
had devoted himself ; and for that cause, what has he not
attempted, in his short life of thirty-nine years, seven of
them spent in exile, and three in a dungeon !
" Our contemporary the Times, with that* warmth 01
feeling towards the unfortunates of Spain which has long
distinguished it, has consented to be the medium of trans-
mitting to Madame Torrijos such sums as the benevolence,
—we might say, the justice of Englishmen (for to attend
to the sufferer in such a cause as that in which the widow
of Torrijos suffers is an imperative duty in freemen as in
Christians) may urge them to contribute for the purpose
* Our first feeling was to leave out this compliment to our-
selves, and we have suffered it to remain only because we do not
wish to appear to undervalue the praise of a respectable and able
contemporary,
