REAL EFFERVESCING CHELTENHAM SALTS,
MAD/ FROM TOR WATERS OF
UR. THOMPSON'S MONTPELLIER SPAS AT
CHELTENHAM.

I"HE Public ate respectfully informed that these
1. Salts are the only genuine production of the Cheltenham Spa
Wahl's, a fact which is well known to every person who has
whited Cheltenham. They contain, according to the Analysis of
Sir Humphrey Davy, and Messrs. Brande and Parkes, all the
Chalybeate and other essential propecdes of the Spa Waters at
Cheltenham.

These Salts possess an effervescing principle, and in this respect
differ only from the Cheltenham Salts hitherto sold to the Public.
The real CIiaLTZINAM SAL?* in Chrystals and Efflorescence, as
well as the above, are to be had of the Sole Agents. Messrs.
Dunce, Chemists, Clwapside, Corner of St. Paul's, London ;
Sackvilk street, Dublin; Priacesanreet, Edinburgh; and Retail
of the principal Medicine Venders.
CAUTION—In future the above Cheltenham Salts cannot be
genuine, unless the Government Stamp, with the words BUTLIM,
Camaro/Ds," Is attached to them.

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.—There is
not, perhaps, In the whole Meth hledica, any nose remedy
which so effectually relieves the pain of a suffering patient as the
t:IIEItICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watch the
writhing tortures into which a lovely infant is often convulsed
'during the period of dentition, without feeling sympathy for its
-sufferings? and who would hesitate to procure a remedy, when a
remedy can be found, which is, obvious by the effectual telief
afforded io is thany distressing eases which are daily coming to the
notice ne Mrs. JOHNSON? Therefore; Mothers Ought never
to be without the AhlillilrAN SOOTHING SYRUP in the
Nursery ; for .ff a Child awakes in the night with pain, by only
:rubbing the gums with a few drops of the Syrup, it arlilimmedi-
stely open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevers
and convulsions ;for shOuld it come in competition with any other
disorder, it often destroys that mother's brightest

MADRAS GOVERNMENT GAZETTES.
We observe, by the Bombay Papers, that the officers and stew
of his Majesty's ship Hind, of 20 guns, John Furness:, Esq. Com-
mander, which anchored in that harbour on the 17th uldmo, from
Trincomalee, are to man bis Majesty's new frigate Andromeda, of
forty-six guns, lately floated out of dock, and are to complete
her rigging nd equipment preparatory to her departure for
England. The Andromeda, it is expected, will be ready
to sail in April; she takes with her, it is said, his Excellency
Sir Thomas Bradfbrd, K.C.B. and family. Major-General Sir
Lionel Smith, K.C.B. will, in consequence of his Excellency's de-
parture, succeed to the contound,pre tempers,, of the forces, and be
succeeded in his command of the Poonah division of the army by
Colonel Fitzgerald, C.B. his Majesty's 20th regiment,• at present
Commandant of the garrison of Bombay.
The departure of the ship Rockingham, for England, has been
protracted, in consequence of the Government having taken up the
vessel for the conveyance of troops to England, sod we understand
she will proceed on her voyage on their embarkation ; she will.
therefore, probably take her final depu tore about the middle of
the week.

STORM IN THE ISLAND OF ARRAN.

S

FROM A CORRESPONDENT.

BRODICK, AUG UST 24.—0 n the morning of Wednes-
day last, we had a verly heavy fall of rain, which deluged all our
low ground, and did a great deal of damage, the wind blowing
very hard from the east. On Thursday it cleared up, and was a
fine day ; so much so, that we commeaeed cutting down our corn.
Friday continued aka a very fine clear day. But the storm re-
commenced on Saturday morning about six o'clock, when the rain
fell in torrents, and in a short time the rivers rose to that degree,
that they carried every thing before. them. The oldest inhabitants
never witnessed such a deluge here. The roads are rendered im-
passable from the number of bridges carried away. On the road
from Clink Port to Brodick, the bridges are all damaged more or
less, and some of them completely destroyed. The wooden bridge
over Glen Rosa water, below Robert Davidson's, is totally away.
ek The large stone ridge over Claelsan Water' near to Shedog, has
one of the arch rrl of ; and the road from Brodick in that
directionAs very il t up- The road from Brodick'to Lam-
lash la also in several p A much injured. The !bun that passes
Kilmichael, belonging GS Mr. Fullerton, has carried away the
bridge, and. a great part of the garden wall—the'd*elling-houses
near the shore were completely inundated, some of them to the
depth of three or four feet. At Lamlash, it has been equally u
bad. The stone bridge of two arches, to the south of Lamlash, is
in a very dilapidated state, having the south end of it washed
entirely away ; and the fine avenue towards the Wauk Mill is cut
up in many places, to the depth of five feet—the water broke over
its banks, and tore down one end of the Wank Mill, muck damage
has been done, generally over the whole Island. A small pleasure
boat, belonging too Mr. Linton, from Greenock, was cut on shore
at Whiting Bay.; Also, in Brodick Bay, a boat belonging to a Mr.
John Fullerton, from Saltcoats—there was no person on board
either at the dant. The crops hive seared severely-in some
places they are torn completely up, and in others they. are covered
over with gravel and sand, so as to render them useless.
