NO MORE PILLS NOR ANY OTHER MEDICINE

FOR CONSTIPATION, INDIGESTION, DYSPEPSIA NERVOUS, BILIOUS, AND
LIVER COMPLAINTS, COUGH, ASTHMA, CONSUMPTION, ♦ND DEBILITY.
DEI BARRY'S delicious HEALTH-RESTOR-
ING RI:VALENTA ARABICA FOOD saves fifty times its
cost in other remedies, and cures the above complaints and their
consequences, such as hemorrhoidal affections, flatulency, disten-
sion, ,ieidity, heartburn, palpitation of the heart, nervous headaches,
steria, neuralgia, deafness, noises in the head and ears, pains at
the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders, erysipelas, erup-
tions of the skin, impurities and poverty of the blood, scrofula,
drossy, rheumatism, gout, nausea and sickness during pregnancy,
after eating, or at sea; low spirits, spasms, epileptic fits, spleen,
general debility, inquietude, sieeolesPness, involuntary blushing,
paralysis, trem^rs, dislike to society, unfitness for study, loss of me-
mory, delusions, vertigo, blood to the head, exhaustion, melan-
choly, groundless • fear, wretchedness. It is, moreover, the
best food for infants and invalids generally, as it never
turns acid on the weakest stomach, nor interferes with a
good liberal diet, but imperils a healthy relish for luach and dinner,
Ind restores the faculty of digestion and nervous and muscular energy
to the most enfeebled. Supported by testimonials from the celebrat-
ed Professor of Chemistry Dr. Andrew Ure, Dr. Shoriand, Dr .fiar-
vey, Dr. Campbell, Dr. Gattiker, Dr. Wurzer, Dr. Ingrain, Lard
Stuart de Decks, the Dowager Countess of Castiestuart, and 50,000
other wel'-known individuals, whose health has been restored by
this useful and economical diet, after all other means had been tried
in vain for many years, and all hopes of recovery abandoned,

" London, 24, Bloomsbury-share.
" I hereby certify, that having examined Du Barry's Revalenta
Xrablea I find it to be a pure vegetable Farina, perfectly whole-
some, easily digestible, likely to promote a healthy action of the
tomach and bowels, and thereby to counteract dyspepsia (Indiges-
tion), constipation, and their nervous consequences. ,

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1887

Shall England secure peace for her Oriental
dominions by binding herself over t 3 the enormous
folly of paying henceforth a subsidy of 10,0001. a
month to DOST MAROMITED ? It may sound, it,
must necessarily sound, absolutely ridiculous to
put such an inquiry as this seriously to English-
men—but it is nevertheless an actual proposition
now submitted to their consideration. It is actu-
ally proposed to subsidise DOST MAROMSIED at the
rate of 120,0001. per annum, or, in other words,
to pay him a cool 10,0001. every calendar month
—as though the British Empire in Asia relied
for its defence upon the native hordes of Affghanis-
tan S Against an absurdity like that, it were lite-
rally mere waste of time to inveigh. It has only
to be mentioned to be universally and upon
the instant recognised. It is no more a
project to be entertained deliberately than any
other extravagance ever dreamt of by the
most crackbrained of theoretical enthusiast.. It
were as nonsensical to think for one second se-
riously of conniving at such a preposterous ar-
rangement as this, as it would be to entertain
deliberate notions as to the possibility of squaring
the circle, of tunnelling a railway to the antipodes,

The Second Chamber of Berlin, on the 20th, re-
jected, in accordance with the recommendamotion of
tion of
the committee, by 154 votes to 102, the
M. Mathis against the system hitherto pursued
with respect to the press. It afterwards adopted,
by 126 votes to 125, an amendment of M. Wagener
and M. de Gerlach, to the effect that the liberty of
the press shall be guaranteed by a law that the
right assumed by the Government of withdrawing
a concession of a newspaper as an administrative
measure shall be set aside, and that the tribunals
shall be always left to decide on the suspension of
journals. These votes preduCed a great sensation.
The signification of this double vote is evident—the
Chamber, without wishing to blame the course
hitherto pursued by the Government, being anxious
to show that the present system should ho changed,
and more serious gualautees given to the press in
Prussia.
The grand fancy hall of the Duke and Duchess
de Brabant, which has been so long talked of, to'Ar
place on Monday evening at the palace at Brucs-I.'
and was of a most brilliant description. The
Duchess de Brabant figured as the

a
corsage of blue velvet, a mantlel
lined with ermine, and her hair in powder ;rou•
round
her neck the princess wore a in_
,!gnific nt set of
'
diamonds, and diamonds in her hair, and attended
by ladies of honour and pages in the c °swine of the
time, the latter bearing her train. The Princess
Charlotte wore the costume of a lady of the court
of Catherine de Medieis„ resembling that of Eliza-
beth of Austria, wife of Charles

cherry-coloured damask, and was almost entirely
covered with diamonds ; the petticoat was
embroidered with pearls,. and on the under petti-
coat were suspended festoons of diamonds, producing
a charming effect ; a frill embroidered with gold,
and a cap decked with diamonds, completed
he
costume. Both the princess and th duchess
looked admirably, and the profnsion of diainonds
worn by the firmer was brilliant in the extreme.

ON TRUE Az FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
',teal Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford 'a known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the flrFt
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
c:al reader. We trust this may not be the last. if he shall •detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect." —Lend op NI edie al Gazette. " The tribe of • Quiet Sympathisers,'
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly ezposed ; and if this book
-nub] find its way into the hands of those whe suffer from the com-
p'aint of which It treats, we are satisfied that manyhundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
leis importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical syAem of treating Spermatorrheea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
!hely `o do much good."—Medical Circular.

TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 10th, says :
"Doubts are again entertained of the success of
the Bank, and it is said that the Ottoman Cabinet
begins to regret baying refused last year the project for
a loan, which the French and English capitalists, finan-
ciers, and others versed in public affairs had proposed.
If the Porte had at that period accepted the proposition
of,Messrs. Layard and Yvan, its condition would be
very different from what it now is, and it would
have the means of undertaking works of public utility on
a large scale, which are indispensable to it, and which,
nevertheless, cannot be commenced. The statesmen of
Turkey have hitherto been labouring under the greatest
delusions, and instead of imitating Austria and Russia,
who give every possible encouragement to foreign capi-
talists, they have waited for capital to come to them.'

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

" The inhabitants of Plombieres," says a letter
from Paris in the Nord of Brussels, " expect that
the Emperor will again visit them this year, and
stay for a month. His Majesty, it is said, will not
be accompanied by the Empress, but at the end of
August will accompany her to Biarritz, where they
propose to pass the rest of the season."
_ _

-The Moniteur publishes a decree, promulgating
a convention concluded between France and the
Grand Duchy of Baden in February last, relative
to the strengthening of the banks of the Rhine.
According to the provisions of this convention,
when the works necessary for carrying the object
of it into effect shall necessitate the permanent or
temporary occupation of private property, the in-
demnity to be paid shall be regulated in each state,
according to the laws in force relative to public
works and to expropriation for purposes of public
utility ; the works in either country are to be
under the direction and protection of the respec-
tive authorities ; as, in consequence of changes
which may be effected in the course of the
river, property now on the French side may be
transferred to the Baden side, or vice versa, the
local administrations are to use their endeavours to
effect a sale or exchange, so as to bring each pro-
perty within the limit of the territory to which it
will then belong.
The Council of State has commenced the eram;-
nation of the bill against the usurpation of titles
of nobility. The Legislative Body being destined
to be dissolved immediately after the present ses-
sion, it is probable that the bill cannot be voted in
the present year, and that, consequently, it will
stand over to be dealt with by the new Legislative
Body.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
It is respectfully announced that the Entire Company of

in the Champs Elysees, and the Thatre Comte, Passage
Choiseul, Paris, will have the honour of appearing at the Stb
James's Theatre, on WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAy 20.
Notwithstanding the well-merited popularity of this talented
company, which has existed for several years in Paris, cir-
cumstances have always occurred to prevent a visit of " Les
Bouffes" to this country until the present period ; nor can
the engagement now entered into be extended beyond a short
season of six weeks. In order to insure the best possible
effect to their performances, it is intended to bring over tho
entire orchestra attached to their establishment, under the
able direction of the composer, Monsieur Offenbach. Mes-
sieurs Pradeau, Guyot, Gertpre, &c., Mesdemoiselles Dalmont
and Marechal, will have the honour of making their first
appearance in this country.

PERSIAN ACCOUNT OF THE LATE

BATTLE.

The following is the Persian account of the late
action between the British and Persian troops,
taken from the Teheran Gazette of the Ist rajah,
1273 (25th February, 1857) :
" Souja-001-Moulk communicates to us in haste
tho following news, dated Bth February :—The 7th
inst. five English regiments, having with ther'a 10
pieces of cannon, had occupied the Djah-Koutah,
situated at four leagues from Bushire, with the in-
tention of causing our troops a check previous to
their complete concentration at head-quarters.
Souja-001-Moulk, having desired to anticipate the
English in their plan, took with him 3,000 regular
infantry, 300 horsemen, and 12 pieces of cannon,
to attack the enemy's camp during the night. He
marched the same night. After he had left Bou-
raze-Jan a league behind him rain began to fall in
torrents. The English who had left Djah-Koutah
a league behind them retreated at the approach of
our troops, and sheltered themselves behind rocks
and in caverns, while our troops being in a greatplain
without shelter, and exposed to heavy rain, with-
drew to their camp. The English troops, thus pre-
served from the rain, hastened to reach Bouraze-
Jan before daylight. Souja-001-Moulk pursued
them with his 3,000 picked troops and eight pieces
of cannon. The English advanced guard an-
nounced the arrival of our troops by a shot. The
English, seeing that they could not transport their
ammunition on camels, in consequence of the mud,
burnt it, and retreated towards Bushire. Our troops
pursued them to within four leagues of that place.
En the meantime, two other English regiments and
400 cavalry, with 10 pieces of cannon, came from
Bushire to their assistance. After the arrival of this re-
inforcement the English turned round, and the battle
began. Although the number of our troops was
much inferior to that of the enemy, they fought
with great determination and courage. The battle
commenced at daylight, and lasted four hours and a
half without intermission. Our troops showed
the greatest bravery ; twice they penetrated into
the enemy's ranks and broke them. Wo had beard.
that Stackl€r, the general who first arrived at
Bushire, was killed in the battle ; but that ac-
count is not true. On our side the Sartip MA'
hommed Kouli Khan lavan-Schir and the Sartip
Ali-Khan, Kara-Quoz!ou, in penetrating into the
enemy's lines were wounded, the first with grape-
shot and the second with a sabre-cut, but their
wounds are not serious. During the entire hatt'e
the rain never ceased to annoy the combatants. It
fell with such force that the two parties were forced
