EVER ANXIOUS TO PREVENT IMPOSITION,
DAY and MARTIN respectfully inform the Public
they have, after much labour and at a very considerable ex-
Pease, brought to perfection a Label of such singular construction
and extreme difficulty of execution, that they trust will effectually
prevent the many Frauds that are daily practised on the Public.—
An attention to the fallowing description of the Label will ensure
the genuine Blacking prepared by them. A pattern like Lace of a
Pig colour covers the principal part of the Label, the names of
Day and Martin are ,printed in white letters edged with pink and
black, and:placed on a white ground, the address,
97, HIGH-HOLBORN,
4 also white letters edged with pink and black, but placed on the
k.ce pattern, the signature and price at foot are black on a white
round, the preamble and directions for use are printed as before,
black letters on white ground.

ADELUSIVE habit, generally learnt at great
schools, is the most pernicious practice imaginable. Every
at, of debauchery of this kind strikes deep at the root of the con-
stitution, inevitably creates many alarming diseases, and, intro-
dating all the infirmities of the most languishing old age, hurries
en a premature dissolution.
DR. SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD
Is recommended to those whose constitutions have been impaired
or broken by such early imprudence, as well as those whose nerves
are affected by intone study, or the habits of fashionable life; the
too freesia:- of ardent spirits, tea, or coffee; and to all who
are enervated by long residence in hot and unhealthy climates.—
Listlessness of mind, impaire4 strength and appetite, fl.ttulence,
headache, vertigo, and dimness of sight, are more or less observable
so them all. In these cases it will prove of the greatest efficacy,
1-acing the relaxed nerves, -and strengthening and invigorating the
'constitution.
Purchasers of this medicine should be sure to ask for Dr. Solo.
Ishh's Cordial Balm of Gilead, and should look for the name en-
:rased on the stamp, viz. " SamL Solomon, Liverpool," without
obich none is genuine.
Sold in Bottles 11s. each, and four in one for SM. whereby lls.

ELEGANT GLASSES, RICH UPHOLSTERY, SILKS, &c
COOPER and SON, 93, Bisbnpsgate-street Within,
resiectfully solicit the attention of the Nobility and Gentry
to their extensive Assortment of Nit.; Chimney, Toilet, and Cheval
Glasses, from the smallest to those of the most magnificent dimen.
sions, and at such prices as. will, they flatter themselves, insure
the liberal patronage of the Public in general. In the Furniture
Department is comprised every new and elegant article of Uphol-
stery, Cabinet, and Chair Manufacture, suitably designed for all de-
scriptions of Residences, from the simple Cottage to those requiring
the most Architectural display of taste and richness. They particu-
larly beg the inspection of their superior Patterns of Silk Damaslfs,
Tabourets, &c. which, in consequence of the reduced Duty on
Silk, they are now enabled to offer on Terms so comparatively
moderate as must establish this superb description of Furniture for
Drawing-rooms, Boudoirs, Saloons, &c. in pri Terence to the inferior
articles now so much in use. Families who prefer the rich and
beautiful style of the Ancient Gothic, will find some handsome Spe-
cimens in character for Buildings of the most antique structure;
and as C. and Son are the real Manufacturers of the articles
sold in their Ware-rooms, and employ none but first-rate Workmen,
they are enabled, for Fashion, Splendour, and Solidity, to compete
with any EstehliAment in the Metropolis, and, they with confi-
dence affirm, at Prices decidedly advantageous. The Papering and
Ora rative Style of Work, also the Carving and Gilding in all Ps
branches, continue as usual. Appraisements made, and Liner&
Furnished, with the greatest attention to Economy.

THE most prolific discovery that really prevents the
Hair falling off or turning grey, and produces a thick growth
on bald places is
ROVE LAND'S MACASSAR OIL. •

This Oil is the firtirci duction of the age, and is now in such
universal use, agd its invaluable properties so highly and justly
appreciated, not only by the discertfing population of this our en-
lightened country, but by the patronage of Royalty throughout the
whole of the civilized universe. It is the most important specific
for the growth and preservation of the human hair hitherto invented.
It restores in redundancy the tresses ravaged from the head of
beauty by feier, anxiety, or accouchement ; and in all cases, from
whatsoever cause arising, where this graceful ornament falls into
decay, operates as an infallible specific, powerfully nourishing the
hair in its latent progress, and sustaihing it in healthy vigour, maugre
time or climate, on its attainment of maturity.
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL firmly sustains its portion
of exalted fame, and it is only necessary to guard the Public against
Unparalleled Venders, who, conscious of the impossibility of fair ri-
valship, resort to fraud, and intrude on the unwary a surreptitious
article of injurious tendency, as the real bIACASSA R OIL;
whereas the GENUINE is sold enclosed in a little Book, inside
the wrapper, signed on the outside in red
A. ROWLAND AND SON.

The prices are 3s. 6d. 7s. 10s. 6d. and 21s. per bottle. All other

• . MEXICO.
The following is an extract of a very interesting letter
received by an eminent Merchant, from Mexico :
44 Mexico, JUNE 3, 1824.—1 have the pleasure ofl
advising my arrival in this city, on the 24th ult. after a
journey of about 400 leagues, by land, from the port of li
Mezatlan, in the Gulf of California, and after passing
through the city of Guadalajara, and eight or ten other
cities of this Republic. The short time I have yet had
to look about me here, and to ascertain the state of
markets, and general mode of doing business, will not
allow me to advise, particularly as to prospects, and
goods suitable ; but from what I have bad an opportu-
nity of seeing in this country, in my route hither, and
the amazing population of the provinces and cities of
Nueva, Espana, Guanajuta, and Guadalajara, I think
there can be no doubt of an amazing field opening here
for the consumption of manufactures. The duties, how-
ever, as yet, are extremely ill regulated, and badly pro-
portioned, and are, under present regulations, bearing
extremely hard on all cotton manufactures, prints,
muslins, &c. As far as I have yet seen of the commer-
cial society of our countrymen here, objects purely com-
mercial have occupied the attention only of two or
three houses, the attention of the greater portion hitherto
having been absorbed in mining speculations, to avail
themselves of British capital, and in loan negociations
with the Government."

" ALtDaan, Auausr_2, lU*.

•
" Public attention is at present occupied here with
the project said to be entertained by England of sending
troops into Por.ugal. The rumour has proved an
abundant source of hopes and fears to the politicians of
Madrid ; but it would be useless to trouble you with
the conjectures of those who wish for, or those who
dread such an intervention ; I shall, therefore, only
state, that the sole point in which both parties agree is,
that if England does not interfere, France will do so
on the first plausible opportunity.
" By letters from Portugal, we learn that a consider-
able number of our countrymen, notwithstanding the
vigilant measures taken upon the Spanish frontiers, have
escaped into that kingdom. Some of these fugitives
have even contrived to communica;e with their friends
here, and in their letters state that, from the complexion
Affairs are assuming in that country, some little gleam
of hope may be derived for unfortunate Spain. Since,
at the request, or more properly speaking; demand of
General Digeon, the Spanish battalions, who took part

in the disturbance of the 25th ult. have been sent away,
there has been no further interruption of the public
tranquillity, though it is very evident there are many
persons very anxious, and would be very active, were
it not for the prudent measures adopted, to renew simi-
lar scenes.
" General Quesada, Governor of Madrid, who for se-
veral days has observed a silence either forced or volun-
tary, has at length given signs of existence by the pub-
' licatinn in our Gazette of an Order of the Day for the
service of the place. The framing of such an order, at
present, cannot cost him much time or trouble, as there
are so fesv Spanish troops here, that they are imly re-
quired at ;he Theatres and their own barracks. Owing
to this the duty of the Royalist Volunteers is extremely
severe, and has produced not a little discontent amongst
them, as the great majority of them have nothing else
to support themselves and families but the produce of
their daily labour, which can be but very scanty indeed,
as nearly all their time is devoted to this military service.
—The Municipality are straining every nerve to orga-
nise t third battalion of volunteers, for the equipping
of which hi; Majesty has furnished, great part of the
funds; but even this third battalion will be but a feeble
relief, nor will the others cease to complain till the ar-
rival of the provincial battalions, which should have al-
ready been here. The cause of their non-arrival is
most unaccountable, and has, of course, given rise to
many strange conjectures. Knowing, from personal ob-
set vatiOn, the indiscipline of Quesada's troops, I said, in
my last letter, that it was probable, after being sent
away from the capital, they would never reach their
destination. The event has justified my presentiment.
—4We now learn that, long before reaching Toledo, they
fell out amongst themselva,, ;Ares we►e drawn, se-
veral soldiers wounded, and, in the end, the greater
number deserted of course, we may reckon upon an
augmentaticn of the already too numerous banditti that
infest the country. The last chain of galley slaves that
left this consisted of nearly sixty persons, the greater
number of whom were ex-national militia-men—these
are to be led to Corunna, from whence it is thought
they will be transported. Dreading this fact, which to
a Spaniard is worse than death, there is little doubt but
they will make a desperate effort to break their chains
on the heads of their conductors. A close carriage,
with the blinds up, drove in here to-day, and, stopping
at the prison gate, a person, muffled up, was taken from''
it, and lodged in the prison. The rumour goes that it
is General Coupons.
" The news from various points of the Peninsula is still
of the same afflicting nature. We hear of nothing but
imprisonings and persecutions of the Negros, excursions
of predatory bands, particularly in the mountains -of
Ronda, and robberies and murders upon the high toads.
A letter from Barcelona states, that there are in that
port several Sardinian and one English vessel that have
been brought in there by the Custom-house cutters,
-having been found laden with grain, and, near the coast.
They said they were going from Genoa to Gibraltar
(but this is the usual excuse with the smugglers of grain).
The English and Sardinian Consuls have made repre-
sentations to the authorities here► It is 'yet doubtful if
they will be declared lawful prizes, as they were not
discovered in the act of discharging their cargoes."
