Spring with its effects on the complexion and e)n-

more or less affected at this period of the yeer, but t
obviate these seeming natural accompaniments to a
climate like our own, has been a subject for study
hitherto unfathomed by even our most eminent physi-
cians and practitioners. An article has, however, been
recently imported into this country from Caine, and is
fast gaining celebrity, which proves to be a never-fail-
ing obviate to cutaneous tifflictions generally. The
substance is a e bite powder prepared from herbs only.

THE; NEW isrOVEL OF " SELF," by the author of
Cecil," will certainly add to the reputation of its ano
nytneus author, and in a manner rather um xpected.
For wit and sprightliness we were prepared by the re-
collection of " Cecil," hut in the new work pathos is
combined ssith varying iiitt rest and criginality of charac-
ter. In short," Self" is valuable as a pastime—valuable
"its a lesson. A moral purpose which was deficient in
Cecil" has been worked out in the new story, which
.contains the most life-like pictures of aristocratic life
as connected with the political history of the day. ft
may be placed in the same rank with the novels ot Edge-
worth, though the reader for ne,re amtuement may pos-
-sibly prefer those brilliant touches and witty dialogues
-which remind him of Lady Morgan or D'lsraeli. Itt
'either case, a lasting reputation may be predicted fer it,
and like the novels of Edgeworth, Austen, and Ferrier,
after fulfilling its-first purpose of exciting and amusing
.the idlers of the season, it wiW remain one of tho: e
standard works indispensable toota country-house, as a
truthful and valuable picture of national manners—since
.the moralitt, the scholar, and the mere reader for diver-
"'ion will equally find their acconr.t in its vigorous pages.

ACCIDENTS IN TUE METROPOLIS.—From statis-
tical information gathered by the indefatigable Se-
cretary to the Accident Relief Society, from the various
hospitals and infirmaries, it appears that very nearly
50.000 of all descriptions occur annually, the great ma-
jority of which falls upon the working and industrious
classes. The observations made by Lord John Man-
ners, M.P., at the • recent anniversary festival of the so-
ciety, have already been appreciated, and seseral new
Subscribers have come forward in aid of the institution,
the funds of which are in a very depressed condition,
owing to the very great number of claimants for relief
from all parts of the metropolis and the suburbs.

have the management of the affairs of the Company, and to allot
the shares. It was stated that the applications for shares were im-
mense—and a limit was placed upon the number of shares that
anyone party could.reezive, in order to prevent speculation, and to
ensure their extensive distribution. We understand that the
Durham and Lancashire Junction Railway is now amalgamated
with the York and Carlisle Company, and all the companies
affected by the new line cordially co-operate with it, viz., the Lan-
caster and Carlisle, Stockton and Darlington, and Great North of
England Railway Companies.

We have received by the packet-slfip Europe Nair Yee,
papers of the Ist instant, only one day later than the las'

papers are engaged in discussing the question of peace or ic.ar
with Mexico, arising out of the Texian question, and th:
writers fear that, in the event of arms being resorted to, thr
commerce of the United States will suffer by the prirsteni
mg system, in which the shipping interest of the

maritime nations in Europe are likely to engage, as
of
of self-interest. One of the papers quotes a statute of George

British subject embarking in such a speculation Theo.tMan

'Tis pleasing to recal our nursery tales,
Whose secret spell o'er reason's self prevails.
" Aladdin's wond'rous Lamp," with matchless glories,
Conspicuous stands among our early stories.
The many wonders which it wrought when brighten'd,
Have many a weary, heavy season lightenM.
Oft has the youthful reader, wond'ring paus'd
To think upon the changes which it caus'd.
And many a tedious mile would thousands amp,
To be possess'd of an " Aladdin's Lamp."
But what's " Aladdin's Lamp" to do with MOSES?
Why, you shall hear before the subject closes.
This wond'rous "Lamp" could not perform a par
Half so surprising as the " Wand'rous Mart."
The instantaneous transformations here.
Aro all the conversation far and near.
When once a suit of MOSES' clothes you're clad in,
A change is wrought as if by fam'd "Aladdin."
The purchasers from MOSES well-stor'd shelves.
So chang'd become they scarcely know themselves.
MOSES and SONS' fam'd Dress Mart is display'd
The brightest " Lamp" amid the sphere of trade.
Let those who wish is put it to the test,
One single 'rial make, and leave the rest.
When once you try, for many a mile you'll tramp
To find the rival for "Aladdin's Lamp."
A new work, entitled " THE LEVIATHAN OF TRADE," with
dill directions for Self-Measurement, may be had on application,
or forwarded post-free.
