MONUMENT TO THE EARL OF DURHAM.—Prepara-
tions have been actively entered upon for the erection of the
contemplated memorial in honour of the late Earl of Dur-
ham, on Pensher Hill, near the base of which runs the
great northern line of railway. The materials will be con-
veyed up the aclivity by a temporary winding railway, the
bed of which will form a permanent carriage drive when the
building is completed. The design is an approximation to
the temple of Theseus, and is to consist of a rectangular
base of solid masonry, 97 feet long, and 54 in width, rising
10 feet above the platform of the hill, and surmounted by
eighteen lofty, open, equidistant columns, supporting at
each end a magnificent pediment, and on each side a broad,
deep entablature, which will serve as a promenade. The
edifice will be at least 70 feet in height, and w.ll be visible
from a great portion of the surrounding country.. The trench

To LADrEs.—The high and universal celebrity
which Rowland's Kalydor continues to maintain, as an active
yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities cif, the
skin, is, during the period of Spring: most pleasingly. evinced.
This preparation, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invi-
gorating, is equally celebrated for safety in application, as for
unfailing efficacy in removing all impurities and discoloura-
tion ; and imparting a healthy freshness and transparency
to the Skin and Complexion. Its universally great demand
excites the cupidityof unprincipled shopkeepers, who give
the title of " Genuine" Kalydor to compounds of their own
mantifacture., of the most deleterious character, containing
mineral astnngents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, and,
by their repellant action endangering health. It is, there-
fore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Row-
land's Kalydor" are on the wrapper.—All others are fraudu-
lent Counterfeits.
