THE COMPLEXION.
GOWLAND'S LOTION removes all Im•
purities and Discolourations of the. Skin, and promptly
re-establishes a clear and healthy tone of surface, whilst its
sustaining properties in obviating the effects of variable tem-
perature upon the Tint of the Complexion is verified by the
continued freshness usually limited to the earlier periods of
personal attraction. " ROBERT SHAW, London," is in

:'.DIARY AND LETTERS OF MADAME D'AR-
wThis is the most charming book that has appeared for
hile. The memoirs of the authoress of " Eveline,"
written in the truth-telling narrative, and delightfully easy style
which is so fascinating in that standard novel of the old school,
cannot fail to be deeply interesting to all admirers of the works
of Madame D'Arblay, better known as Miss Burney. They
are chiefly composed of transcripts from the journals of Miss
Burney, from the time she commenced her secret authorship,
which exhibit the progress of her thoughts and actions, written
in the same manner as .‘ Evelina" itself. It is a perfect ro-
mance of real life, in which some of the most distinguished
literary characters of the last century figure conspicuously. We
cannot speak too much in praise of this delightful work, which
everyone must read.— Courier.

The stock sells dull at 50 Pennsylvania currency, or 45 New York
currency, being a fall of 35 per cent. within four months, or an
annihilation of 12,250,000 dots. of the property of the stockholders.
What the result may be is scarcely to be foreseen. The Bankrupt
law goes into operation to-morrow, and even the sound banks look
forward to its abets with the utmost anxiety, and, consequently
are exceedingly cautious in their movements. Another cause of
alarm is, the disastrous condition of the Treasury of the
Federal Government. On the Ist there was a deficit of 600,000
dols., and since then almost all claims upon the Government have
been dishonoured. The army and the navy are without pay, and
the outstanding Treasury Notes being at a discount, they form al-
most the only medium of payments into the public Treasury—of
100,000 dots. received for public dues 90,000 dols, are in Treasury
Notes. Consequently there are no means of meeting the pressing
wants of the Government. All these causes of distrust prevent any
immediate change in the current of events.

This has been packet.day for the Boston steamer, which takes
her departure tomorrow. There having been no steamer now for
near thirty days, the demand for bills for this conveyance has been
large. The supply has, however, been fully adequate to it, and the
rates exhibit no improvement.

In Stocks the market has presented no material change. Prices
are generally lower than at the close of the last month, with the
exception of Illinois and Indiana Bonds, in which there is a slight
improvement, arising from the purchases of tho.e speculators who
sold on time in anticipation of disastrous news from England by
the steamer. Otherwise the news from England has had no effect,
and throughout the month of January prices have been gradually
falling, until the average value of all public Stocks is less than ever
before.

DERBY.
CALLING IN OF THE MILITARY.
(FROM ♦ COELMIPONDENT.)
A number of Tories here being dreadfully alarmed by the demon-
stration of Thursday night, they appeared before the Magistrates
on the following morning, and took oath that they did not consider
their lives or property safe. Consequently, one of Sir James Gra-
ham's new Grenadier Magistrates posted off to Nottingham, and,
in the evening, a troop of Dragoons came galloping into the town
with drawn swords! and looking prodigiously valorous. A num.
ber of people soon congregated about them, and considerable mer.
riment followed at thikexpense of the red-coats. In addition to
this, hundreds of special constables were called out, many of them
looking very sheepish, and some young sprigs of gentility looking
extraordinarily well qualified to quell a disturbance ! The work.
ing classes enjoy the fun amazingly, but the publicans (some of
them Twice) growl at the expense and trouble of having soldiers
quartered upon them. On Saturday evening the working classes
held a large meeting, at which they passed the following " Pro.
test:"—

TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF
GREAT BRITAN AND IRELAND IN PAR-
LIAMENT ASSEMBLED :-
" THE PETITION AND REMONSTRANCE OF THE UNDER-
SIGNED WORKING-MEN, IN THE BOROUGH OF DERBY,
AGREED TO AT A PUBLIC MEETING, .
" Humbly Sheweth,--That your Petitioners have heard with
disgust and indignation the odious project announced by the Chief
Minister of the Crown for centinuiug the unjust and iniquitous
system of a tax upon corn, founded upon the false and swindling
pretext of protection to the Agriculturist, and upon the most cor
ruin and fraudulent principles of a sliding scale of duties. They
view with horror and aversion the proposition of that atrocious
measure framed for the purpose of plundering the mass of the
people in perpetuity—a measure which will be execrated and ought
to be firmly resisted by every honest man ; which is directly op.
posed to the beneficent intentions of an all-wise Providence, and is
calculated to despoil the toiling millions of the fruits of their honest
industry, and reduce them to starvation, for the benefit of a grasp-
ing and rapacious aristocracy.
" That all men have au undoubted right to secure to themselves
by every fair and honest means, the enjoyment of the full reward of
their labour; that they are entitled, universally, to buy and sell
in the best markets for their advantage. That any restriction►,
imposed by any class of tnen, upon the free exercise of these naturel
rights, are tyrannous and oppressive, and ought to be opposed with
the most determined resistance. That your petitioners remon.
strate most strongly against every species of exclusive Cla►s Legis-
lation ; that they have submitted only by force to the unprinci-
pled and nefarious exactions of Monopoly—created by unjust laws
—by which famine and destitution have pervaded the land which
bounteeue Heaven has crowned with plenty ; the enjoyment of
which is forbidden, and denied by roan to his fellow man. That
your petitioners know too well by sad experience, the main cause
of the misery and starvation that prevail, to be deceived by the fal.
lacles and sophistry of the Framers of Laws that rob them of their
food. Their labour is their only estate; they seek not to possess
the estates of others, and they will not be despoil( d of their own with
impunity. They cannot hut view the long-suffering, patient en.
durance of the famishing multitudes with astonishment.

"That your petitioners have often laid before your Honourable
House their humble statements of wrongs and miseries, with
earnest prayers and supplications for redress—but in'vain. They
hope that your Honourable House will now listen to the appeals of
a suffering people, before they are driven to desperation. They sub.
mit to your Honourable House their most forcible renNigrunce
against the monstrous propositions for the pffpfitii4tion of a tar
upon their bread, and they pray that the Pqrtuind Provision.laws
may be immediately and totally repealed. •

And your petitioners will ever vr4y't
So alarmed are the Tories, that a certain lawyer has had a lieap
of stones conveyed to the top of his house; ditto the Tory news-otlice.

Nobly have the working men of Derby responded to the sail,
and done their duty. In eight days a petition for a repeal of the
Corn and Provision-laws, received only 4,534 signatures; in eleven
hours this spirited remonstrance received 6,336 signatures from
