NEW and UNIQu
EPREPARATION of CARBON-
ATED EFFERVESCING
CHELTENHAM SALTS.
T parable HIS ilium
combination of all the
solid contents of the celebrated Cheltenham Springs,
producing the immediate disengagement IC

ACID GAS, on the simple d
process never before effected), is " of pure Water (a
n-Olv
p!•esented to the
l.oned to the uni_
Public with a degree of confidence pro
versal approbation it has already receivPaedr
tisome of the
most distinguished Members of the Profess?onin
uiting
the Gaseous qualities of the Waters at the Founts nn head
with the peculiar Saline ingredients of the
aid Springs, and
thus producing the most active, though mild agree-
able substitute for the Cheltenham Waters ever produced
by Chemical Science.
Messrs. BEAVAN and PERRINS .beg to apprise the
Public and Faculty, that this preparation is now (after a
long and very elaborate process) brought to a high degree
of perfection, and will enable Invalids and Travellers at a
distance from the Springs to possess the superior ad-
vantage of the Cheltenham Waters in the nearest state of
approximation.
b Prepared by Messrs. Beavan and Perrino, at their La-
ry, High-street, Cheltenham; and sold in Bottles at
bd., 109. 6d., and 1/. ls. each, by Messrs. Butler,
Chemists, Cheapside, corner of St. Paul's, London;
Sackville-street, Dublin ; and 73, Princes-street, Edin-
burgh; also by Mr. Sanger, 150, Oxford-street ; and all
the respectable Medicine-venders in the United Kingdom.

It is unnecessary to direct the attention of the
Scientific World to the well-known fact, that the Chelten-
ham Salts, as procured by evaporation from Waters, are
necessarily freed by the process from all the Gaseous and
Tonic contents of the Springs which constitute so import-
ant a Medical agent in their administration.
N.B. Ask for Beane and Pardus' Cheltenham Salts.

Extract from the New York Statesman of
the 23d ult.:—

Commercial News Rooms, Salem, June 20.
" The affairs of Java, when the James left Batavia, (Bth
of March), remained in a critical position; (luring the
three mouths previous, the rebels had advanced upon the
Colonists, much increased in Power and numbers. On
the lit of March they were but 30 or 40 miles from Sa-
marang. The force that the Government could oppose to
them at this time could not be great at any particular
point, from the necessity of dividing their troops to occupy
many military posts, as the rebellion is so general through
a large part of the Island.
" Numerous plantations- of coffee and sugar had been
entirely destroyed by the rebels.
" The conducting-of the war in Java was very difficult,
by reason of the policy of the rebel chiefs, who constantly
decline a general engagement. Whenever attacked by any
considerable European force, they immediately retire, and
if pursued, disperse, watching every opportunity of at•.
tacking the Dutch in small bodies. The excessive fatigue
occasioned by this desultory warfare, causes sickness among
the European troops, which has destroyed more men than
the swords of the rebels, and considerably weakened the
power of the Colonists.
" When the James left Batavia, official news had just
arrived from the Netherlands, that 3,000 troops were on
the point of embarking for Batavia, who would probably
arrive in May or June. With this assistance, it is ex-
pected the Colonists will quell the rebellion.
" Your's, &c. W. If. FOSTER."

Our reporters in the several parts of this county
give us very favourable accounts of the progress of the
harvest. We had rain on Wednesday, which continued
almost without intermission.—Kilkenny Independent.
Wells great Market, on Saturday last, was
scantily supplied with cheese of all description ; the sale
was brisk, and the. few parcels of the finer sorts were
eagerly purchased at an advance of from 4s. to 6s. per cwt.
The smaller quantity of new produced was speedily disposed
of at about 565. The cattle-market was by no means
large, nor can we quote any alteration in prices. The fair
on the previous day was in every respect poorly supplied
and thinly attended.—Bath Herald.
SINGULAR CAPTIVITY.—Mr. James Boag,
timber merchant, Johnstone, lately breaking up a log of
American wood, about 24 feet in length and 28 inches
square, discovered in the very centre of it, a hollow, in
which were a considerable number of living bees, a quan-
tity of honey, and a few larvae. The imprisoned insects
were longer and of a more attenuated frame than the- five
tribes that roam over the hills and valleys of Britain.—
Every care was taken to preserve some of the interesting
fore►gners alive, but they all died in a short time after ex-
posure to the influence of the atmosphere, hardly tasting
the sweets of liberty till consigned to non-existence. The
log contained several of these hollows of different dimen-
sions, and in all of them a number of living bees. ,
