An additional instance of the advantage to be de-
rived from bringing to Southampton the mails new landed at
Southampton, occurred on Saturday. The Peninsula steamer,
Lady Mary Wood, after landing her mails on Friday at Fal-
mouth (which were consequently not delivered till Monday
morning), started for "outhampton, and arrived in time for the
agent's report, Ste., to be received by the Directors of the
Company in the early part of Saturday afternoon. An im-
portant despatch from Lord Howard de Walden to the Earl of
Aberdeen was received by the same channel, and orders were
consequently sent from the Admiralty to Falmouth the same
evening to detain the outward steamer of this day for Govern-
ment despatches. The Lady Mary Wood was detained eight
hours by thick weather in making Falmouth, so that if she had
been allowed to proceed to Southampton direct, her letters and
despatches would have been received in London on Friday.
MEATH ELECTION.-011 Friday the writ for this
election was forwarded from the Hanaper-office to the High
Sheriff of the county. The election will take place about the
Bth of Jane, and Mr. Corbally will be returned without opposi-
tion.—Dublin Monitor.

HARVEST PROSPECTS.—The provincial papers con•
cur generally in stating that the recent rains have been at:
tended with the must beneficial results to the young crops,
and give prothise of a prolific harvest.
A few days ago a labourer, whilst digging up an
old hedge upon the estate of NVythen Jones, Esq., at Rhiew-
port, Berriew, discovered about 400 pieces of anc►ent coin, the
latest of which was of the reign of Elizabeth. '1 he poor man,
with the most Praiseworthy honesty, communicated the cir-
cumstances to the owner of the soil, who generously told the
honest fellow to " make the best of them for himself." De-
lighted with his unexpected treasure, the man sent them to a
person in London, who sold them as old silver at 4s. Od. per
oz. Although the sacrifice was great, yet they amounted to

Surctin: or A BOY.—An inquest was held on Sa-
turday night. before Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., Coroner, and a
respee.table Jury, at the Pembroke Arms Tavern, Pembroke-
square, Kensington, on view of the body of George Chalk, a
boy not yet eleven a ears of age, who hung himself on Wednes-
day. It, appeare 1 that. the father of the deceased, who is a
carter in the employ of Messrs. Bird, the builders, of Kensing-
ton, lived in Earl .street. On the afternoon of Wednesday, the
deceased, who was a boy of a morose and sullen temper, and who
had been suspended from the National School, in consequence
of his mischievous and obstinate disposition, was sent, aceom-
panisd by his sister, on an errand for his mother, and on the way,
his sister remonstrating at his staying to play, he beat her sin-
' lently. When he returned home his mother punished him
for his improiter conduct, by ordering him to pull off his
shoes and an into the bed-room, which he did. He was
• soon called out by his mother, to assist her in some little
matters, at which time he appeared in his usual good spirits.
When tea was ready his mother went to the bed-room door
to call tile deceased, but receiving no answer she opened
the door and went in, when she was horror-struck at Ending,
• her unfortunate son suspended from the bedstead, by a line
scarcely thicker than strong packthread, and although his
knees 'were on the bed, life was found to be quite extinct.
Mr. Wakley expressed his astonishment at the extraordinary
formation of the head, and said he had in two other cases
only seen such an enormous developereent of the organ of
destructiveness. One was the case of a child not seven
years of age, who, being corrected, said, " I'll go, and make
a hole in the water, and not enter the house again," and her
body was soon after taken out of the canal near Worm-
wood Scrubs, and the other of a pot-boy at the Eight Bells
public-house, Chelsea, not thirteen years old, whose greatest
delight was in torturing an orals, and who would purchase from
other boys birds, rats, and mice, in order to gloat, over their
dying throes and kicks, and who finished his career by hanging
himself.—Verdict, " Temporary Insanity."
[ nv ESSTISEMENT.]
IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT ;CO DE-
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
1
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised.
world, that any eneonium on its merits might appeir super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above 'Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine articic.at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
lust reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article fer " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legiti-e ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that, they eonstan•ly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies arc continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents and
correspondents, and highly gratifpng is the testimony
Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the
high condition in which it is generally found. The Water
ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express
reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other
can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's
Lemonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro-
duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is
rapidly getting into extensive aeputation. It is an.eflerveseing
draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best mate-
rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men
constantly recommend it in eases of fever, &e., nor is it less de •
sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will
have a yellow table on its side, with the name and address of
the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the
German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the
springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public
in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates

" Advanced Sentinels of Civilization," from the
vantage ground upon which, day and night, we hold
our watch, we were the first to discern, in Hungary,
a new land of promise—open for the enterprises of our
commercial men—ready for the relief of our manu-
-1 factoring districts, glutted with the over-energy of
artificial production. The Hungarians themselves,
overwhelmed with the natural, infinitely varied,
and inexhaustible produce of their prolific soil—
hemmed in by their political topography, and by
the restrictive laws of the mother country cut
off from external commerce —the Hungarians, we
I repeat, were the first to respond to our call. The
news of Sir Robert Peel's new tariff has made
their feelings reach the highest pitch of enthu-
-1 siasm. Our cautious commercial men, in their
turn, are at last awakened to their interests, and
day after day we hear of fresh movements amongst
the monied portion of the community, having all for
their tendency commerce with Hungary. All the
information necessary is obtained, and the basis upon
which they are to proceed is now established. The
most influential men in Hungary have sent over de-
clarations of their firm decision to join heart and hand
in any project. From the Archduke Palatine,
who governs so liberally the Lountry, down to
the lowest of the " one-house Nobles, (Anglice,
yeomen) who sit in the "County Congrega-
tions"—every respectable inhabitant of Hungary
appears to aspire after a commercial intercourse so
devoutly to be wished for. Now there remains but
the action of diplomacy to accelerate and firmly es-
tablish the success of that combination of English and
Hungarian men of enterprise, who have already put
forth their energies, and have begun to place tiem-
selves in a position of virtual and positive action.
If any slower-minded persons could for a moment
think that, under the circumstances of both countries,
delay would be unimportant, the movements of a re-
presentative of another free country would shame
their indifference to the anxiety of our suffering
manufacturers. The representative of the United
States at the Court of Vienna has already made
energetic advances to Prince Metternich, with a view
to form a direct communication betwixt America
and Hungary. Should we be the last in the field ?
Under two widely-differing Administrations, the
brothers of two successive Ministers of the English
Crown have held the office of British Ambassador at
Vienna. There are two courses to follow, in a posi-
tion of such close relationship to the great man of
Home influence. The one is, to indulge in a plea-
surable somnolency on the strength of such near
kindred; the other is, to exert one's-self so as to in-
crease the credit and the value of the services of the
brother at home by the exertions of the other brother
abroad. The latter is the course which we are sure
that able diplomatist Sir Robert Gordon will adopt—
even should it make his predecessor shudder, as,
with the luxury of a lazzaroni's dolce niente far, he
gazes on the softly rippling summer waves in the
Bay of Naples.

As to Prince Metternich, we can only judge of
the course he will follow by the conduct he has
always held in moments of crisis. We feel well
assured that this great statesman, viewing the ex-
citement of the public mind in Hungary, will not
belie the whole course of his glorious career by a
want of foresight, energy, and magnanimity on the
present occasion. IVhen the great Canning, rising
in the House of Commons, and borrowing the simile
of the poet, threatened he would let forth against the
country which resisted his plans the imprisoned
winds of Liberalism—Canning, we repeat, who so
soon repented, showed himself a great orator, but
not a great politician. No statesman can keep such
winds incarcerated—tor, like steam, they require
safety valves, or, by increase of pressure, they burst
out of themselves, and destroy all that surround
them. The effervescence in Hungary is of this
character. We feel convinced that not only Prince
Metternich has no idea of untoward resistance, but,
that the safety-valve of concession has long been
prepared. This once applied, the elements of de-
struction will be turned into a means of increased
power by the able engineer. The Hungarians, once
reconciled, by attention to their urgent wants and
first prayers, and once fully employed in the pur-
suits of commerce, will feel with us that the Govern-
ment of Austria is an example to every other mother
country in the universe, for the ability and gentle-
ness of its sway. But our readers, many of whom
have never thought of Hungary but as a land of
chivalry and romance, affording imperial tokay to the
table of the epicure, or a picturesque dress for a fancy ,
ball—our readers, we repeat, will expect some positive
data to support our assertions as regards that land of
promise. We will only at present offer the following
on the spur of the moment.
The first consideration is the disposition of the na-
tives with regard to this country. The Hungarians,
who are a high-minded free nation (a great portion of
whom are Protestants), carry their predilection for
England to such a. degree as to be swayed by it even
in trifles. An Hungarian tailor commends himself
to favour by proclaiming that his are the last Lon-
don fashions, and the manufhcturers at Vienna trade
under false colours, having labels printed in this
country to affix to their manufactures to give them
greater currency in Hungary. But the feelings of
the Hungarian community has sought its formal ex-
pression in the most authentic documents. 'We have
before us legal instruments, in which the greatest
men of the land loudly proclaim the advantages both
countries will derive from unrestricted intercourse
under the sanction of Austria, and their readiness to
join heart and hand with English capitalists in bring-
ing the compact to bear. The following are the
