composition instead of time Genuine Blacking, prepared by
DAY and MARTIN, they have adopted a new label, in which
their address, 97, 'High Holborn, is so conspicuously placed

difference r,f the type, which is unlike all letter-press, will
enable porchrtsers at once to detect the imposition.•

wherevar it is once used, it Will obtain a pre-eminence ever
all other Sauces for Fish.

NATIONAL MEDALSANk
a.
Medals being the most durable monmOnts for.
recording the prominent traits in the history of
nations,.the ambition, prosperity, and glory of a
country may be always estimated by the en-
couragement which it affords them. &lona;
parte's encouragement to medals rivalled that of
Louis XlVth's. The success of the Russian
armies in 1812, 1813, and 1814, induced Count
Tolstoi to propose to the Russian Academy.-the
engraving of nineteen medals, to commemorate
their most splendid achievements, which meet-
ing their approbation, the Academy voted twenty
thousand roubles, to assist him in the undertaking ;
and the recent newspapers from Arrierica state,
that the American Governvent are striking a
series of fifteen medals, " in commemoration of
-

those persons who distinguished themselves in the
naval service during the late war." No person
will dispute the propriety of both these under-
takings. But will it be believed that while
France, Russia; and America, the last the most
frugal and economical of all the great na!rms on
earth, have been thus liberal for their fame, the
medallic record of the glorious achievements of
England, in the war that has convulsed the world
for the last 25 years, has rested with ari bumble
individual, Mr. MUDIE, whose National Medals,
commemorating these prominent traits in our re-
cent naval and military history, by a happy and
extraordinary combination of circumstances, equal,
in beauty of 'design and execution, the most suc-
cessful efforts of the Continental Sovereigns, and
challenge all competition, as proved by experience,
that Goveruincut, if so inclined, could attempt at
imam ?
