°ARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION

vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com-
panies, and other public Indies, &c., is particularly recommended to
the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro-
prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of
more tban Sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre-
servative. ft is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses,

_ ..._
farm and oiler out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories,
park-pal Ind gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copper, zinc, lead, brick,
stone, old comp°, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent slating.
The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every other paint for out-
doo - purposes may be easily inferred, from the simple fact, that ifs
use has beep always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac-
turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale
of common paints. It Is also very economical, any labourer being
able to lay it on. ,

REGENERATOR.
If you are in want ef that beautiful .adornment of the human
figare, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an 11a.
bottle of Grimuone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, draWn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth-in an adVertisement, but may be read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Gemstone, Merchant,
flerbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor.of 'the " Times" neWspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. ad., or 125., which in-
cludes the postage with the case. • •
The I le. sise contains four of the 4s.
A few 4f its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
DI the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and Wpm are 40 years of age
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, each was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What MIS' re-
moved those sightless beings, arid given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the pause
—the universal use of Grimstane's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cipe, and to be stamped. Although this advanced Its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the informers, Still it was an act of
oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Esq., to
Mr. William Brimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1g25. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time ix canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. , But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped. '

' HULL, APRIL 30.
Messes. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—There was
only a moderate supply of wheat at our this day's market, for
which farmers generally asked Is to 2s per qr advance, .and to
some extent, this was complied with by needy buyers ; gene-
rally we quote the market a got,d shilling dearer. More in-
quiry for foreign, but there is little afloat; prices abroad are
too high to admit of profitable import, and granaried parcels
are held for more money than even the is advance paid to-day,
on late prices; 37s to 311 s per sir was paid for farmers' runs to-
day, weighing naturally 631bs per bushel. An improved de-
mand for malting barley has sprung up, but confined to the
boll.r descriptions, especially Chevalier Saai, which may be
written is dearer; thin new and oldchambered parcels con-
tinue difficult to sell ; grinding is well worked cif, and Is more
money obtainable. Good foreign white peas are selling at 23s
per qr, 631bs ; and oats make from 7d to 8d per stone. The
market is flat for linseed, owing to the slackened demand for
oil and the low value of cakes, which are again easier ; a parcel
of fresh American is on the market, oblong, same size and
thickness as Hull-made at 6/, and thick round at 5/ 2s6d per
ton, quality of both very fine. The arrival of rapeseed is
from Kertch, and for crushers' account; of other descriptions
the market is bare. Rape cakes are unaltered in value. We
quote bones 6d per ton dearer, and short arrivals.

LIVERPOOL, Aram 30. —At this day's market there was a
good attendance of the town and country trade, and several
buyers from a considerable distance, who evinced some anxiety
to purchase ; but as holden were firm in requiring a further
advance on Friday's price, only a moderate business resulted in
wheat, at an advance since this day week of 3d to 44 on
middling and inferior descriptions, and 2d to 3d on fine lower
Baltic red. Oats were in good demand, at an improvement of
id to Id per 451bs. Oatmeal met with little attention, and
cannot he quoted dearer. Barley, beans, and peas were in fair
request, and a free sale, at 29s per qr for yellow, and 28s to
28s 6d for prime white.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE

BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,--On Monday the 29th, was a lo,g and useful
debate on bringing in a Bill for amending the law relat-
ing to S?.vings Banks. There appears no reason to
doubt, that the intention of the Government is to put
them on a sound foundation f_r the future; and the dis-
cussions attendant on this, will have a strong tendency
to;.Obtainalastgreat,npasare of juis,ioe,compeniUtion to
the sufferers by the braes of die 'cut.'
Points which appear clearly establit.he3, are that there
is toe impossibility,,nor indeed difficulty, in doing every-
thing for the 80.curit,y and advantage of the depositors
which can ri aionahly be desired. If the Government
can protect itself against defalcation by tat collectors,
by taking security for their conduct, it could do the sime
in the case of those entrusted with the management of
savings banks. And if a private banker can make a
profitable trade by paying interest for sums collected
from the poor and the middle classes, this is
evidence that a Government might do the same without
loss, or without more than it chose to incur for the
sake of the object in view. One fault the Chancellor
of the Exchequer appears to be in the way of removing,
is the foolish resistance to receiving sums above a cer-
tain amount. If it is politic to encourage a man to save
to the extent of a hundred-and-fifty peunds, why is he
to be called ill names, to the extent even of making it a
plea for his being robbed of his capital, if he is proved
to have been traitorously endeavouring to hoard a hun-
dred and sixty ?

If the fact Is that the Government means to =the some
absolute present in the shape of large interest to the de-
positors under a hundred pounds; but cannot afford it to
rich people to, an unlimited amount, the end is easily
obtained without violence, by diminishing the ra*e of in-
terest for the larger sum, or 06 the Chancellor of the
Exchequer proposes to do it, obliging the owner of more
than a hundred pounds to turn over the hundred to rho
inferior interest of the funds. In all things of this kind,
where there is'a will there is a way; and there appears
to be a prospect that the will will be found.
After this, the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill was read
a second time, after a debate lei off with great eloquence

of irritability approaching to, violenee from some cf the
opponents. The Church question is not in a position
to bear patiently wish an anle scrutiny.
On Tuesday was Mr. Henley's' motion for the reduc-
tion of Salaries and Wages in Public Employments incon-
sequence of the removal of the Corn-laws. It is strange
i hat a party who were soloed in threatening the Working
Classes with the reduction of Wages as the inevitable con•
sequence vf the removal of the Corn-laws, should now be
found putting themielves forward as the executors of
the threat. The Minister answered with bold truths,
strongly tending to pledge him, if there' were need for
pledges, to the maintenance of Free Trade. The Previous
Question was put; and carried against the motion by
269 to 173.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant.

The charges were, that he (James Mitchell) did, on the
14th of April, on board the Vulture, whilst under the
influence of liquor behave disrespectfully to Lieutenant F.

disgusting language to Mr. Vine, the carpenter.

to have the command of the. Ajax, 56, steam guardship, to
be commissioned immediately at Portsmouth. The Ajax has
auxiliary engines of 450 •horse power.

screw' steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Sherard Osborn, had
her compasses adjusted to-day, and the Intrepid steam-screw
..vessel, Lieutenant-Commander John Bertie Cator, will have
hers adjusted on Thursday. Friday, the cliy appointed for
paying the 'crews in advanci will be a holyday, and on Sa-
turday they leave 'the river for the Arctic • regions. Some
idea May'be 'brined of the anxiety to see these vessels pre-
viou to their departure; when it is made known that up-
wards of 70 highly respectable persons left the London-bridge
station of the North Kent Railway at seven o'clock .a.at. to •
day, for the purpose of going on board the vessels at Green
hithe, and numerous parties proceeded with the same object
in view by each succeeding train.

speak largely and enthusiastically of the success that has

state that their attention •was directed to the circumstance
that, by the proposed reduction of the amount, of the shares,
the capital secured by the original subscription contract
would be reduced to less than three-fourths of the present
estimate; but that it was proved, to the satisfaction of the

authorised by the Bill, and more than sufficient to supply the
deficiency, had already been subscribed for under contract.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

RETURN OF EUGENE SUE

We have received the Paris journals of yestesday..
M. EUGENYIi SUE has been returned for Paris by a
majority of 8,175 votes. The Ministerial journal
the Constitutionnel gives the followink as the result of
the scrutiny :--- r • • .
" At eleven o'clock, as we are putting to-press, the re-
sult of 249 sections out tiF- the 251 into which the de-
partment of the Seine is divided, are known. Only
two sections_of the banliene remain to be known, which
cannot affect the definitive result. Ta these 219
sections— •

M9jlrity for Sue

8,175"

Although from the above analysis it would appear
that the votes of the army are nearly divided, yet in
reality the great Majority of the army voted for SUE,
for with the army vote the Invalidse who, under the
i:),pction of their Governor Marshal Jentomn Bo-
NAPATITE, voted to a man for the Bonapartist candi-
date; and the gendarmerie, the Sbirri of M. CABLIEB,
who, under his direction, voted, there can-be no doubt,
for the employer of his nephew. Deducting the Cotes
of these two'bodies, it is clear that the great majority
of the effective army voted for M. EUGENE SUN:..
The National, in recording this great victory of the
Republican ConAtitutionalists, the" party of legality,
over the Monarchical reactionaries, the party of
force, rays that the Republicans. would be unjust if
they did not award a pert' of the credit due
to those who have secured the return
of M. EUGENE- SCE Itb IM. CARLIEE. " He,
more than any other single individual," says
the National, "has contributed to the return of M.
EUGENE SUE. In justice to all," adds the National,
"we must not forget the assistance which was ren-
dered us at the last -moment by the Emperor of
Sundays (the Napoleon). In politics nothing is.
so valuable as a wise enemy." We consider the re-
turn of M. ;EUGENE SUB' (for the sale of whose
pamphlets the Court of Cassation recently condemned
a newsvender, which condemnation is the foundation
of M. Caineves recent propc.Oing.s) a protest on
the part of -the people of Paris- against .the recent at -
tempts to interfere with the liberty 'of 'the piAs ;
consider the return of M. EUGENE SUE, the advocate of
secular education as a protest on the part of the people
of Paris against the recent law of Public Instruction,
which hands over the whole of the education of the
people to the priests.; we consider the election of M.
EUGENE SUE, the author of the " Juif Errant," the
denounced of the Jesuits, the anathematised of the
College of Cardinals, as a protest against Jesuitism,
obscurantism, and ultrarnontanism, as a solemn re-
pudiation on the part of the people of Paris of the
policy which led to the expedition against the Roman
Republic, and to the restoration of the Porn, and as a
warning to the Government to abstain from pursuing
2n illiberal anti-republican and anti-national policy.
May they take the warning-in time.
The number of electors who abstained from voting
was 65,471, and the number of votes polled is 12,000
less than it was on the 10:h March. The refusal
of the parties to record their votes is attributed to
the disgust which'they felt at the tyrannical proceed-
ings of M. CARLINa, et the ili-judged threat of Ge-
neral GaarantoNr to move the seat of government
from Pari., and at the very " imperial" tone assumed
by the Napoleon of last Sunday. Tee fact is, the
great majority of the French nation is Republican ;
although the reactionaries attempt to disgttse this
truth even from themselves, yet it is a truth, and
although that majority is not socialist, yet it would
prefer to accept Socialism rather than to lose the
republic.
MM. Motu, THIEI2I, BERBTER, MONTALEMBERT,
General Sr. PRIEST, and Generil GRAMMONT were
summoned to the Elytei on Monday night, and re-
mained in conference till two o'clock in the morning
of Tuesday. It is believed, the blinietry will be,
changed,or reinforced by some members of the Right.
M. BERRYEB returned to the Biers:6e at seven o'clock
on Tuesday morning.
At a Council of Ministers, held on Monday even-

ing, M. DUMAS, the Minister of Commerce, proposed
that M. CARLIER should be dismissed, as his ill-
judged proceedings had caused the defeat of the
28th of April, as they had previously caused that of
the 10th March ; M. DumAs, however, was overruled,
and M. CARLIEIt keeps his place.
M. CARLIBIt'S crusade against the Republican
newspapers Las had, as we anticipated it would
have, the effect of immensely increasing their
circulation, while the privileged papers have
fallen off in sale immensely. On Monday
the sale of the Evenement, at the office, was con-
tinued beyond midnight ; the people formed en
queue, as they do at the doors of the theatre, waiting
for their turn to be served. It was in vain that the
authorised hawkers offered them the Patrie, the
Gazette de France, or the lilaniteur du Soir, the pd-
viliged papers found no purchasers.
Tue peopletre advised by all the Republican jour—
nals to abstain from being present on Thursday at
the declaration of the pod, in order to avoid all
chance of a collision.

The Democratic candidates have all been returned
for the Soane et Loire.
There are various rumours as to a change of Mi-
nistry. One account says that MM. DUFAURE Gus-
TAVE DE BEAUMONT and Generals
.BEDEAU and LA-
MORICIERE will enter --the new Ministerial Cabinet,
while another states that M. DE Fe.Lboux, who ar-
rived on Sunday in Paris, has been commissioned to
form a Ministry. The Patrie threatens all sorts (:f
repressive measures; and the Legitimatist jour-
nals denounce the Boure:eoliie of Paris with a
hatred that smacks of 1789. Tne Patric
announced that a law affecting the suffrage
would be presented to the Assembly yesterday, and
threatened a coup delat. No such law was, however,
presented, and General LAMORICIERE declared thet
the army would be as little disposed to suffer a coup
d'etat as to suffer disorder in the streets. The
ulster at War expressed his surprise at the allusion
made to a cod') d'etat, and with an affectation of in-
nocent simplicity, asked where General LAMORI-
CIERE could have heard any threat of a coup
detat? "-In the Napoleon of Sunday," shouted the
Lett. " I know nothing of the Napoleon," said
General di llauTroor.; " the only official journal is
the .Moniteur," and thus the matter ended. General
BEDEAU has also expressed his intention of opposing
any attempt at a coup d'etat, and General CHANGAR-
NIER has declared that any such attempt would be
ridiculous. The schism between the Orleanists and
the Legitimatists is greater than ever; each party
charges the other with the ill success of the election.
