FARINA'S ESSENCE OF MEDICINAL
'HERBS.
The above is the title of a new Preparation, which has been lately
brought to perfection at the celebrated Eau de Cologne Distillery of
John ➢faria Farina, 23, Rhine-street, Cologne, and which has already
attained an extraordinary repute; the Faculty having universally
recommended its use, and it being now generally adopted in all
parts of Germany.

Its qualities are manifold :—as a medicine it operates as a strength-
ener of the digestive organs ; is an excellent specific in cases of liver
complaints and bilious attacks ; induces an appetite either in robust
or sickly constitutions; is a certain remedy in cases of indigestion ;
and a never-failing cure for Wounds and bruises : it allays the pain
of toothache, pnrifles the skin from eruptions, and is a certain pre-
ventive of all cutaneous disorders. As a disinfectant it is infinitely
more efficient than Chloride of Soda ; and, when diluted with water,
it forms a delightful wash for the face and hands, imparting a clear
and healthy bloom to the complexion.
It consists of an extract of various medicinal herbs, mixed with the
purest spirits of wine. It possesses a pleasant taste and a delightful
perfume; and forms an elegant appendage to the toilet.
Price per box (containing Three bottles) 68., or a box of Six bot-
tles, 10s. 6d. Each bottle will be wrapped in a paper fully descriptive

The first time that Mr. Travers was called into public
life was during the agitation of the Reform Bill,
when he presided at a meeting of the inhabitants
of his own ward, to petition Parliament to
pass that great measure. From that time to the period
of his decease he continued the unflinching advocate of
the rights of the people, of judicious and temperate
reform, of commercial freedom, and of purity of govern-
ment. As the Chairman of the Committees for the
Liberal candidates in the City of London, he, by, the
suavity of his manners, conciliated his opponents, and
attracted and secured his friends. Nor did he confine
himself to giving up a large share of his most valuable
time to the public, but with a generous liberality, he
contributed largely to defray the legal expenses of the
various elections, and to the support of those "societies
which had for their object the promotion of purity of
election and the security of the rights of those entitled to
vote. In him, therefore, the popular cause has lost its
most earnest, liberal, and constant leader.
Neither was he less eminent in private virtues. In the
bosorn of his family, and amidst the circle of attached
friends, his kindness and sportiveness of manner, his un-
affected attention to remove the asperities of life, and
his anxious desire to impart happiness to all, were con-
santly displayed.
The various charities of this great metropolis found
in him a liberal benefactor, and the many young men
whom he put •into business or assisted in their early
struggles to gain a living, will • testify that, privately as
well as publicly, he never forgot to do good, and to com-
municate to others a portion of that wealth he had
obtained by his untiring industry.
Though his death was as sudden as it was lamented,
yet a post mortem examination of his remains demon-
strated that the seeds of death had been long planted.
His brain was nearly double the weight and size of ordi-
nary men, but it was evident that it had been long dis-
eased, and that only a portion of it had for some months
performed its vital functions.

- We-understand that, though the family declined the
offer of a public funeral, yet the numerous personal
friends and political admirers of the deceased intend to
meet early to decide upon some mode of perpetuating
their sense of departed worth, in order that the living
may be induced to imitate so 'noble an example.

EVENING.
The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Forth, Captain
Chapman, arrived this evening soon after seven o'clock,
bringing all the mails. She also brings on freight 301 ounces
of bullion, 121 •ounces of gold dust, 604 ounces of silver, 177
ounces of platina, and 56 pounds of gold.
Her dates of departure are—from Cuba the 18th of June,
Jamaica 23d, Jacurel 25th, Porto Rico 27th, St. Thomas's
30th, and Fayal 13th July.
The Forth met the Company's steam-ship Actaeon at St.
Thomas's ; the Tay had left for the Gulf of Mexico ; the
Severn to Bermuda; and the Dee to Demerara.
The Trent was at Grenada, and the City of Glasgow at
Trinidad.
It appears that the want of rain was still very much felt at
Jamaica, and many of the other West India Islands. Dy-
sentery had also prevailed to a considerable extent. On
board her Majesty's ship
Hermes, which was at St. Thomas's,
it had
been most disastrous, no less than 26 seamen falling a
sacrifi.
The Forth brings home 64 passengers, amongst whom is
Mr. Prebble, purser of the Company's steamer Tay, invalided.
We have received a file ofJamaica papers down to the 23d
of June, from which we give the following extracts : --
"Some fine rains have fallen in the St. Andrew's, and Port
Royal mountainous districts, but the lowlands still continue
dry and dusty, and the thermometer ranges nearly as high as
in the month of August, the heat being only relieved by a
fiery sea-breeze.
"We are happy to learn that in St. Thomas in the East,
the seasons have been very favourable for the planter, and
there is every hope that with fair encouragement, abundant
crops will be reaped."--Jamaica Dispatch, June 20.

THE LATE JOHN TRAVERS, ESQ.
The funeral of this lamented gentleman took place,
on Friday, at Bunhill-firlds burial ground. It was strictly
private, and confined to the family and relations of the
deceased. his numerous friends and political admirers
were anxious to testifty their respect for his many
virtues by giving him a public funeral, but his known
unostentatious character, and the retiring modesty of
his widow, led the family to deeline the proffered honour.
The late Mr. Travers was 57 years of age. He
was born 'in the City, and was the son of Joseph
Travers, one of the partners in the house of Smith,
Kemble, and Travers, which house has now been
established upwards of 120 years.
.Mr. Travers was educated at Hyham Lodge, Wal-
thaznstow, and was taken ink, partnership by his father,
about the •ar 1813 ~..Some time afterwards the part-
nership ofSmith, ketable, and Travers was dilso-lvett.
Messrs. Smith and Kemble removing to Philpot-lane,
and Mr. Travers and his son, the late John Travers,
continuing the business in St. Swithin's-lane.
Mr. Travers, in .1821, married the daughter of the
late Rev. Dr. Lindsay, formerly minister of Monkwell-
street Chapel. By this lady, who survives, he had &nu-
merous family..
By the death of the elder Mr. Travers, which occur-
red in 1821, the late Mr. Travers succeeded to the busi-
ness, and became the head of the firm, which he con-
ducted with singular ability, and with that openness and
high integrity of purpose which gained him not only the
respect, but we may venture to say the personal affection
of his numerous customers, as well as of those who were
his competitors in trade.
It is unnecessary to say that under his fostering care
the business was greatly enlarged, and at the time of his
decease embraced connexion: not only throughout Eng-
land, but in many parts of the world. It was conducted
with so much regularity and order that notwitbstanding
its increasing extent every thing moved on with perfect
ease.
