QTAIIeti.—BROW N and POLSON beg to in-
vite the attention of laundresses and the public to their
PATENT POWDER STARCH, unequalled for strength,
colour, and purity. It gives a tine and glossy finish, does not
stick to the iron, and requires no boiling. The annexed certi-
ficate of that eminent chemist, Dr. Fyfe, will prove that it is
free of potatoe, and contains no deleterious ingredient.
" I hereby certify that I have submitted to cnetnical investi-
gation the starch manufacthred by Metists. Brown and Polson,
of l'aisley, and that I have found it to be a pure article, conse-
quently free from any ingredient that would act injuriously
even on the finest fabric. From trials conducted with it under
my own superintendence, I have found that in starching it
gces farther than the best kinds of patent starch, that it gives
an equally tine finish, and that articles starched with it are not
liable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of
manufacturing the starch in all its stages, I am satisfied that
potatoe flour is not used in its manufacture.

FEAVER'S EMBROCATION fin• GOVT,
RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX,
Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon,
of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last,
to the Elitor of the " Times :" •

. _
Sir,— I think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a rernedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has been of such wonderful benefit .to myself. Some
months ago I met with a very severe, accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the greattender-
nest of the joint I was quite unable to walk, ,the .limb con-
tinued very much swollen and edematous and sufrered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, cud to the
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Fearer, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford. I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to 111 r. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quackery,
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.
I am, your obedient servant, I should be the
TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.
" Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.
" P. S. At the various consultations held up NI my case, the
of spasms since the first application
were decidedly of
spasms would ter•

in any of the above afflictions) may be obtained of, or through
any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town er

Tl debates• 11. - ,;
.F.WFOUNDLAND.--- le ln Parliament have
directed the public attention in no ordinary degree to the
Colony of Newfoundland, and the want of accurate in-
formation respecting this important possession, both in
and out of the House, is as remarkable as the apathy
with which the subject has hitherto been treated. It
has now, however, become a matter of general interest ;
and it happens fortunately that a work is on the point of
appearing which is likely to afford every information
that can desired on the past history, the present con-
dition and resources, and the prospects of this advancing
Colony. The work to which we allude is entitled
" Newfoundland in 1842," and is the production of Sir
RichardlB4 I,pwßh
(ol,n ndyucrgaisntl e
' the author of " The Canadas in
a residence of some duration in
Newfoundland, possessed opportunities of acquiring a
perfect knowledge of the subject. The work is to be
illustrated with a valuable map, &e.,
and will doubtless
be gladly welcomed, both by the public in general, and
our Legislators in particular.
AL,„/".lt has this week been promulgated in
quarters certain to be well,informed, that Lord Prudhoe,
the only brother of his Grace the Duke of Northumber-
land, is about to be married to the eldest daughter of
Lord Grosvenor, and grand -daughter of the Marquis of
Westminster. The information has been a source of
gratification to all parties on the Northninberland estate,
and arrangements were illlMe(liatOlY.eftraineneed for ce.:
lebrating the event with proper rejoicin,..s.
p Letters re-
ceived from their Graces in Alnwick this week express
their delight at the anticipated addition to their family.
The bride elect is 22 years of age, and his Lomship ,1.-4
born in 1792, • The nuptials fiTc expected to take 'place
in the course of a• fortnight.— Berwick Advertiser,

Nothing whatever had been allowed to transpire
regarding the negotiations on the Boundary que.3tion,
or ether subjects of dispute:between this country and
America, nor do the New York journals offer-their
usual number of surmises*, being nearly filled with a'
lengthy correspondence between their Government
and that of 'Mexico. The ktter have demanded, in a
very imperious tone, that the United States shall
order her citizens, to refrain from furnishing Texas
with ammunition or men, an,' has also intimated that
they should also abstain from trading with that
country. In reply to those modest requests, the
American Secretary of State writes, that Texas,
having been reognised, as an imiqpnrient. State, no
impediments will be thrown in the way of her trade ;
and he states, in conclusion, " thatthe Government of
the United States, in regard to the war between
Mexico and Texas, having been always hitherto go-
verned by a strict and impartial regard to its neutral
obligations, will not be changed or altered in any
respect or degree."
The Tariff Bill, embracing the distribution clause,
has passed the House of Representatives by a small
majority of four only. •

Two more banks in New Orleans, the Mechanics
and Traders', and the Union have discontinued pay-
ment.

President Houston, of Texas, in a message, pub-
lished lately, adverts to the reduced state of the
Treasury, and proposes a sale of the public lands a, a
means of meeting the Government's expenses.
M-Leod was compelled to seek safety in flight from
a mob, who bad hooted him in the streets of Buffalo.
Business at New York was quiet. Flour met a
dull sale at late rates, and Cotton was not in much de-
mand. Only a moderate business had been done in
bills for the packet. The rate of exchange on Eng-
land was 106 k to 107 ; on France, if. 42c. to if. 45c.

WASHINGTON. SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 16.--PAS-
SAGE OF THE TARIFF Max.—The Tariff Bill, with the
distribution feature, passed the House about six -o'clock
this afternoon, by a vote of 116 to 112-8 Democrats
and 5 NVhig,s absent. had the Members all been pre-
sent, the vote would have stood-L--Ayes, 121 ; Noes, 120:
one vacancy. The expectation is, that the Bill will pass
the Senate-with the distribution feature, by one majority.
An effort will be made to substitute the projet of Air.
• Simmons for the House Bill, and it will probably be suc-
cessful. The expectation is that the debate will not be
protracted beyond the coming week in the Senate.
ELECTION IN LotastANA.—Morton, the democratie
candidate. has been elected Governor. Since the time of
Jackson the State has been Whig.
HEALTH or NEW ORLEANS.—There were seventy
deaths in the week ending the 7th inst—one of spasmcac
cholera.
