CAUTION TO FAMILIES.—The high repu-
‘,..l tation, arid consequently, great demand, for the under-
mentioned Preparation% have excited the cupidity of some
SHOP-KEEPERS, of apparent respectability, but destitute
alike of honour and talent, who, for the sake of gaining
a trifle more profit, basely attempt to impose their pernicious
compounds upon the Public as the real " MACASSAR
OIL" for the Hair, and" KALYDOR" for the Complexion;
they copy the bills and labels of the original articles, substi-
tuting either a FICTITIOUS NAME, or the word
" GENUINE" in the place of " ROWLAND'S."
To frustrate such imposition, it is necessary, on purchasing
either article, to see that the word " ROWLAND'S" is on
the wrapper, as follows, without which none are Genuine.
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL,

Price 3s. 6d., 7s. ; or Family Bottles (containing four small),

EDINBURGH ALL-HALLOW FAIR

This great annual fair, which began on Monday
last, was this year held in a stubble-field on Mr.
Proudfoot's farm of Gorgie Mains, lying to the
east of the farm-steading, and south side of the
Slateford-road and toll-bar, and about a mile from
town. As usual, Monday was occupied in pre-
liminary matters, such as making arrangements
for the accommodation of cattle, and for af-
fording buyers an opportunity of examining
the various lots exposed. On Tuesday, business
began, but was the very reverse of brisk, buyers
evidently keeping back, though by three o'clock
a great deal of stock had changed hands. The
number of cattle exhibited was larger than last year
by from 2,000 to 3,000, there being on the ground
from 11,000 to 12,000. As to the condition of the
cattle there exists a difference of opinion, some with
whom we have conversed contending that, as com-
pared with last year, the cattle were better, while
others maintain that by far the greater part of the
stock exhibited are much inferior in condition to those
brought forward at the last Hallow Fair. We are
inclined to be of the latter opinion ; and, considering
the great drought and scarcity of grass which have
prevailed during the last season, we do not well see
how it could be otherwise.

Prices may be fairly quoted at—for Angus and
Aberdeenshire three and two years-old (in both of
which there was a moderate show); three-year-old,
8/. to 10/. ; two-year-old, 6/. 15s. to 71. ; and High-
land stots, 81. to 9/. Of this last description there
was a middling supply, but not near so many as last
year. For Highland queys there was a moderate de-
mand-71. may be stated as a fair price ; fat cattle
were very scarce, and sold at Bs. per stone, which was
fully ls. less than last year; milch cows sold from 81.
of 10/. ; lean stock was also very scarce.
On the whole, the market may be considered rather
dull than otherwise' and both buyers and sellers are
grumbling rattier louder than usual at the result.
Prices, compared with those of last year, are down to
a certainty to the extent of about 21. a-head, and this
not on a particular description of stock, but the decline
has been general, and a great many left over for sale
to-day. As the stock which appears at Hallow Fair
(which may be considered the winding-up market of
the season) is, generally speaking, what is left over
unsold at preceding fairs, and therefore inferior in
point of quality, it is not easy to compare the prices
obtained here either with Falkirk Tryst or Doune
Fair; but according to the best information we can get
prices have declined, quality considered.—Scotsman.

BANKRUPTCY COURT—NEW JUDGE.—Vice-Chan-
cellor Sir J. L. Knight Bruce, was; shortly before
two o'clock yesterday, sworn in before the Lord Chan-
cellor in the Court of Chancery, as Chief Justice of
the Court of Bankruptcy. her Majesty's letters
patent were read, by which his honour is invested
with all the rights and authority of the office, but
without receiving any additional salary. The patent
directs that his Honour is to be admitted to the office
without the payment of any fees or fines whatever,
and also states that the Right Hon. Mr. Justice Ers-
kine, late Chief Justice in Bankruptcy, had formally
resigned that office. After his Honour had taken the
oaths, the Lord Chancellor presented him with his
patent of office.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—WC arc enabled to
state that it is now determined upon, that the office
of Commissioner of the Insolvent Court, vacant by
the death of Mr. Commissioner Bowen, is not to be
filled up.

Some two or three weeks since an Irish lady—the
Countess - Talbot (sister of Lady Shrewsbury,
and who is a channoinesse), being in delicate health,
was taking an airing in a close carriage in the Bois
de Boulogne. The horses took fright at some object
and ran off with the carriage, plunging at length into
a thicket. Madame Talbot, who is rather advanced in
life, fainted, but the servants cried out so loudly for
help that they were heard by a lady and gentleman who
were driving through the wood, also in a close carriage,
and who immediately ordered their attendants to give
their aid. The gentleman himselfalighted, and directed
that the traces of Madame Talbot's carriage should
be cut, as the horses, thougli the carriage was stopped
by the brushwood; were kicking violently. He then
assisted in removing Madame Talbot, who was still
insensible, to his own carriage, and having learned
who she was, and that she lived in the Rue St. Domi-
nique (Faubourg St. Germain), ordered his coach-
man to drive thither. Just as the carriage had
reached the Pont de la Concorde, Madame Talbot
opened her eyes, and looking earnestly at the lady and
gentleman who were supporting her, discovered in
them King Leopold of • Belgium, and the Princess
Adelaide, sister of King Louis Philippe.

TURKEY:
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 27.—Although the protocol
of the last conference, which took place between M.
Boutenieff and the Turkish Minister for Foreign
Affairs, on the subject of the late revolution in Servia,
leaves, little room to doubt of the adhesion of the
Cabihet of St. Petersburgh to the measures adopted
by the Porte, and though it was with this understand-
ing that Emin Effendi, the Ottoman Commissary,
was dispatched only four days ago with a firman of
investiture for Prince Alexander Georgewics to Bel-
grade, it appears by no means certain that Russia has
definitively acquiesced in this settlement; at least, the
language that the Russian Ambassador has held on
this point with more than one of the Ministers of the
other Powers is far from conclusive or satisfactory.
The question, he says, has been referred by him tohis
Court, and in the meanwhile remains open. Never was
there a grosser mystification of facts than has been resort-
ed to in this affair of Servia. Prince Michael, who was
a mere tool of Russia, for the furtherance of her
schemes of agitation and revolution in European
Turkey, and who was in other respects a raw inex-
perienced youth in the hands of a designing uncle,
has been represented as the champion and martyr of
civilisation, which the Porte, tinier the malignant in-
fluence of the late Grand Vizier, sought to extinguish
in his person. The real facts of the case, which have
been thus prettily perverted, are, that the Porte has
throughout been acting purely on the defensive, and,
by the expulsion of Michael, sought only to shut the
door which has, for two years past, been open to the
inroads of Russian incendiaries. In this necessary
task it has received the strenuous and cordial co-ope-
ration of Prince Metternich, through the agency of
General Hanen. This distinguished statesman was
not to be cajoled by the flimsy pretexts of civi-
lisation, which seem completely to have imposed
on the Frank Consuls at Belgrade. He at least
is sincere in his professions of preserving the
integrity of the Turkish territory; and it was he
who first gave the alarm of .the wolf in the fold. It
is true, that in the case of Ruasia the cry of " Wolf"
may have been raised sometimes too often ; but this is
no reason for indulging in foolish confidence, which,
in fact, is much more dangerous to public interests
than the worst Russophobia.
It had been determined, in the f
-stinstance, to
send Aristarchi Logothete with the firman of deposi-
tion to Prince Ghika, at Bucharest; but the Porte
subsequently resolved on deputing its chief dragoman,
Safaat Effendi, who set out by the same steamer
which was to take Emin Effendi to Belgrade. The
general impression here is, that the successor of
Ghika will be M. Phillipesco, a Wallachian by birth, but
who holds the rank of Colonel in the Russian army.
A report prevails among the diplomatic body, that
Izzit Pacha, the late Grand Vizier, is about to be sent
to Syria, to replace Moustapha Pacha, who is said to
have fallen into disgrace with his Government, or
rather with Riza Pacha, who, thiough every change of
administration, remains apparently immovable and
omnipotent.
Rifaat Pacha is to proceed to-day, by the Danube
steamer to Odessa.
Mr. Todd, attache to the British embassy, arrived
on the 24th with dispatches for Sir S. Canning. Mr.
Todd has been sent to supply the place of the Hon.
W. Maule, whose health requires a change of climate.
The Austrian Government, at the demand of the
Porte, has sent two medical men to take charge of
the great military HoSpital at Maltepe. This hospi-
tal is allotted to the regiments of redid' (militia),
quartered in the great barracks of Daoud Pacha and
Ramiz Tchiflik, and is fitted up for 1,000 patients. It

Another addition has taken place to the Imperial
family. The batteries had scarcely terminated their
seven days' salutes in honour of the birth of Prince
Abdul Hamid, when they re-opened their fire to an-
nounce the fortunate appearance in this world of a

the Grand Dignitaries of State ; consequently, twenty-
one guns instead of seven were fired five times per
day, during three days ; making 105 rounds daily for
each ship and battery, and forming a total of nearly
11,000 rounds expended between the Dardanelles and
Black Sea upon this occasion. It is said that a third
lady is expected to afford an opportunity for further
saluting within the course of a few days ; and yet the
French papers told us last autumn that the Sultan was
upon the verge of the grave.

Another engagement had taken place in Damascus,
where the Ottomans suffered a loss of another 100
men. Prom such news, it is thought that the ex-
press which arrived by a fishing-boat on the 20th inst.
was the bearer of some such melancholy intelligence.
We are most happy to announce that his Highness
the Viceroy has abolished the tax upon slaves ; this is
a happy prelude to their liberation.
His Highness set off for Cairo on the 20th. He
was accompanied to the place of embarkation by the
Consuls of Sweden, Tuscany, Greece, and Belgium.

Th;s Government has ordered that all goods which
shall be imported on account of Russian subjects shall
pay the same duties as any. other nation. Russian
subjects, previously, had a privilege much to the pre-
judice of other nations.
The British Consul here has ordered the proprietors
of coffee and l!quor shops to shut them up at 11 P.M.
Such an order, given in the month of R' amazan, a
period during which the sale is only in the course of
the night, in consequence of the Arabs neither eating
nor drinking during the day, will be an incalculable
injury to the proprietors.
We cannot imagine what can have induced the
Consul to give any such order, not having heard that
there has been any complaint on the part of the local
Government against the occupiers of such shops, and
seeing that those of other subjects remain open all
night—now that such a difference should exist, to
the injury of the Maltese, is too cruel a deed.
We hear from Cairo that the Nile has risen above
the standard, and inundated the village of Bolacco—
the damage is not exactly ascertained, it is thought it
will be found to amount to a considerable sum.
OCT. 25.—The French .brig of war Surprise ar-

Yesteiday (24th) the French steamer Chameleon
quitted the port at four P.M., direct for Marseilles,
with dispatches relating to the occurrences, which we
Egive below, which have taken place in yria. His
xcellency Said Pacha, who arrived on the 23d, paid
a visit to this steamer, and on leaving received a salute.
Ahmed Pacha, the rebel Capidan, has been se-

he has been joined by R. Thurburn, formerly British
Consul in this city.
Colonel Barnett had no sooner received his dis-
patches from India, than he started for Cairo, to which
place he will be followed by M. de Kramer, the Rus-

SYRIA.

BETROUT OCT. 19.—Our correspondent at Alex-
andria has kindly obliged us with the following news
from Beyrout, which he assures us may be relied on.
Our own letters from that country are only to the
Bth, and contain nothing which the public is not al-
ready acquainted with :
This country, says our letter, seems doomed to con-
stant change, and no reliance nor dependence can be
placed on the calm which ever and anon shoris itself.
Unless the Powers, who united to remove Mehemet
Ali and the old Emir Beschir from the seat of Go-
vernment, and in lieu thereof to place the Sultan, who
has never yet been able to govern it, take upon them-
selves to quell the ferment which now agitates the
country, there will be no end to rapine or to bloodshed.
It is not the Christians alone who have taken up
arms on this occasion, but the Druses also. These two
sects, formerly at enmity together, have now united
in one common cause and formed a close alliance.

The Albanians have succeeded in arouing all the
worst passions of the Syrian people, and on the 12th
instant they were attacked, as was the Turkish bri-
gade quartered at Tripoli. At Ehden, a place a little
above the town, a pitched battle was fought, and the
Druses and the Maronites beat off their enemies, with
a loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, of 500 men,
including many Arnauts.
The Turks, accompanied by the Albanians, are fe-
rocious-looking fellows, but showed the white feather
when brought to the point against the mountaineers,
hardy in every sense, and more than a match in the
art of war for their more northern rulers.
On the 17th instant a party of regular Turkish
troops on their way to this place from Damascus,
about fifty in number, were attacked at a Khan called
.Hussien by the Druses and beaten, the Turks throw-
ing down their arms, and taking to a precipitate flight.
The whole population along the coast is actuated
but by one resolution—that of throwing off the yoke
of their new rulers and every preparation possible for
a coming struggle is showing itself.
The Turks are also preparing, but to the Syrians
their efforts appear futile.
The English and American families living in the
mountain, reached Beyrout with the greatest difficulty,
and that after having obtained the favour of the Druse
chiefs.
