MILK PUNCH
THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER. AND THE METROPOLIS.
It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their-approbation of this
GREAT DISGOVER Y,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR
is now, for thevery first time, introduced to the notice of the
bon vivant: of the northern parts of this great-Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter intiany detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may he voucht#Ahat it is composed
of the best materials, without any iitulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while

THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Tire,
THE GENTLER SEX
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,
but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of

PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by age.
LE GRAND GOURMAND
will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

Liverpool, November, 1839.

So rapid has been the spread of civilization in:the Sand-
wich Islands, that more than 800 English and American
settlers already reside in the capital, Honololu, and have
established a theatre among their public amusements.

DIFFICULTY OF DESCRIBING A BATTLE.—Historians
never doubt but a man who has been in a battle has a per-
fect knowledge of all the events of it; yet they ought to know
that perhaps this very man was in the rear guard, and could
not so much as see the enemy ; and that, even were he in
the advanced guard, he could perhaps see only straight be-
fore him ; and, at all events, that he must have uncommon
coolness to see distinctly what was before his eves, and to
make a faithful report of it.—RoberhaOsTi t

THE ADDRESS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—The
Drogheda papers state that Sir W. Somerville is to second
the address in the House of Commons in reply to the queen's
speech. They repeat the rumour that Sir William is to be
raised to the peerage on the occasion of her majesty's mar-
riage. Sir William is to preside at the dinner to Mr. O'Con-
nell, which is to take place at Morrison's Hotel, on Saturday
evening.

ART ov COOKERY AMONGST THE ABORIGINES OF
AUSTRALIA.--The aborigines of Australia are often driven
for subsistence to the most wretched food, as snakes and other
reptiles, grubs, lizards, and the larvae of the white ant. When
they do obtain better food, they prepare it with more care
than might be expected. In cooking fish, they wrap it in
soft bark, and place it in hot ashes. By this process an acid
from the bark is communicated to the fish, which gives it a
most agreeable flavour. Mr. Ogle, in his account of the co-
lony of Western Australia, describes the native mode of cook-
ing a kangaroo steak :—" It is placed in a scooped outstone,
which is readily found in the streams, and pressed down by
heavy stones on the top of it ; the heat is applied beneath anti
round the first top stone; at the critical moment the stones
are quickly removed, and the steak appears in its most sa-
voury state."

O'CONNELL AND THE WOMEN or ENGLAND—O'Con-
neII has intimated that he will honour the Manchester
anti-corn-law dinner with his presence ! What, can it be
possible that a father, a brother, a husband, an Englishman,
possessing the slightest feeling of respect for the mother who
bore him, can deem it an lIONOUIt to sit at the table with
the man who has slandered that mother? Can it be possible
that Englishmen are grown so callous—so utterly indifferent
to the fair fame of those who ought to he dearer, far dearer,
to them than life itself ? Judging by our own feelings, we
should say the thing cannot be. What reception would an
Englishman receive on coming to Ireland if lie had dared so
grossly—so infamously—to calumniate the women of Ire-
land? The green fields of Erin would be too hot to hold
him—the popular indignation would be loudly and univer-
sally expressed, nay, we would venture to say that he would
be hooted and pelted from one extreme of Ireland to the
other. But he is to honour (? these gentry with his pre-
sence. Oh, how the truculent mendicant will sneer at them.
How in the midst of his mendacious harangues and fulsome
blarney, he most despise them at heart—how he will chuckle
when he thus sees persons beaming the name, but lacking
the feelings of Englishmen, fawn upon and cringe to him who
has charged their mothers, their wives, their sisters, with
that which all other men in the world would consider an in-
sult only to be wiped out by the blood of the miscreant tray
queer.--Limerick Standard.
