There are advises to a late date from Puenos Ayres
this morning, but the intelligence is merely of local
interest. if our information be correct, there are sonic
grounds for the belief that a modified and beneficial
tariff will be passed shortly in favour of British manu-
factures.

We arc without any colonial arrivals this tnornieg.
The circular of the Messrs. Railton and Son, of Man-
chester, thus advises the public :
At a stirring time like the present, when persons
professing to act as agents or brokers, attach their names
to Parliamentary contracts, it is essential for the public
to I,,arn from every professional agent or broker, whether
such be the case or not. At the present time, also, we
would guard the public against the effect of forcing
shares to a premium, which, in too many cases, is liable
to mislead the unwary ; whilst the first adventurers not
unfrequently secure themselves—even before an Act is
obtained—against the discounts that generally follow.
Au unsuspecting individual may readily be influenced
to his own detriment, by a mistaken confidence
in the advice he receives. The 'violence of the
spirit now on foot, aided by the instrumentality
of jobbers, cannot fail eventually to place deluded
persons in a position they neither contemplated
nor expected ; while others (who never at first intended
it, being induced to sell through excessive premiums),
may turn to account additionally the discounts that
ensue. Thus circumstanced, persons having to do with
railway property, either as buyers or sellers, require the
utmost eirctunspection, while this state of things
tinueS, to keep their interests in a right line. There
has been a good business during the last week, parti-
cularly in small stock, and prices have been well sup-
ported ; also for Eastern Counties, Birmingham and
Gloucester, and Manchester and Birmingham."
The money market is is all buoyancy, anti the invest-
ments of a portion of the dividends, added to the. con-
tinued Savings Bunk purchases, leads to a rise in
everything. Consols have touched 1001- a, or I to ,at
since yesterday ; the
,New Three-and-a-
Half per Cents., have risen to 1031
.and 1044 ; the Re-
duced Three per Cents. ex dividend, to par ; and Bank
Stock, for Account, to 2031 to 2041. There is a great
scarcity of Stock.
The Foreign Bonds are dull. Spanish Actives at 26i
to 26i; the Three per Cents. at 37 to 31; Portuguese
Converted at 46 to 46i; Mexican at 351. to 36/; and
Brazilian at SOi to 81. Generally, therefore, prices are
rather better, although with little doing except in _Mexi-
can, which attracts some attention. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. have risen to 61 and 61f, and the Five
per Cent. to 100/ to 100 A.
Shares generally are alittle flat, though not expected
to continue so. The French lines are firmer.

Mr. George Robins seems determined that Sir It.
Peel shall not forget his declaration in the early part of
last session,—it was in terms too unequivocal to be mis-
understood I neither have, nor do I contemplate
any change whatever in the corn-laws." It should seem,
on the 25th inst., Mr. Robins will put the value of this
welcome fact to the test. Lord Monson's Lincolnshire
estate wil.lbe the first large properti to be sold since the
agricultural community were promised protection, and
subsequently to this concession, the Three per Cents.
have risen to par, so that land has had a stimulus that
ought to give it a preference to funded property. "Nous
verrons."
[ADVERTISENIENT.]--COURT BEAUTIEB.—Much has
been said and written relative to the assemblage of
female beauty celebrated under this title. The portraits
by Sir Peter Lely and Vandyke, in Windsor Castle, are
doubtless faithful representations of those fair and suc-
cessful aspirants to a notoriety which endures to the
present day. But how gratifying are the conclusions
we are enabled to arrive at in favour of our own times !
The polished observances of modern society seem to
have had their effects in subduing the bold expression of
eyes akin to those that beamed upon the Restoration.
While a costume ever chaste and resplendent has super.
seded the stiff and formal sameness of the "olden time.*
And to these important advantag( s may be added a
pleasing restorative and preserver of the complexion,
Gowland's Lotion, in removing every species of cu-
taneous impurity, and sustaining a brilliant vivacity of
tint, has long been appreciated in the highest circles.
An assurance of the sterling remedial qualities of this
invaluable article cannot be -too firmly entertained by
all who suffer from irritability and discolouration of
the skin.
