CUTANEOUS DISEASES, &c.—lt is an undisputed fact
that Holloway's Ointment is the only one which is in its
effect infallible. Cases that the most eminent medical prac-
titioners have despaired of relieving, immediately yield to its
curative powers, and when used in accordance with the
printed directions which accompany each pot, with HollawaY's
Pills, the two combined thoroughly eradicate the most
pestilential diseases, and leave the sufferer'without a blemish.
Buinis,the Scottish bard, desiendted the Toothache "the
hell of all diseases." And bc was not far wrong. This hell,
decay.a won], and the torturing fires are extinguished.
however, is not a "I,uttomless pit." Fill up the cavity of the
nrande's Enamel, placed in the decayed spot, prevents irri-
tating substances from reaching the nerve, and kindling that
inflammation therein, which gives the terrible pain known as
toothache. This substance is used, without heat, in a soft
state, and becomes hard in a few minutes, renderingunsound
teeth painless and useful for many years.
THE TEETH AND BREATH.—How often do we find the
human face divine disfigured by neglecting the chiefest of its
ornaments, and the breath made disagreeable to companions
by non-attention to the teeth I Though perfect in their struc-
ture and composition, to keep them in a pure and healthy
state requires some little trouble; and if those who are
blessed with well-formed teeth knew how soon decay steals-
into the mouth, making unsightly what otherwise are delight-
ful to admire, and designating unhealthiness by the impurity
of the breath, they would spare no expense to chase away
these fatal blemishes. But althourrh most ladies are careful,
and even particular in these delicate matters, yet few are,
sufficiently aware of the imperative necessity of avoiding a_ll
noxious or mineral substances of acrid nature, and of which
the greater part of the cheap tooth-powders of the present
ut
day are composed. It is highly satisfactory to point out
Messrs. Rowlands' Odonto, or Pearl Dentrifice, as

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

VfolcDAY MORNING,

AT no period during the lifetime of the great majority
of our clerks in the public service, have they been so busy
as at the present. Take two branches, the Treasury and
the Admiralty—late hours and hard work, I know, are
the orders of the day at both places. At the former
establishment especially, since last Wednesday, the clerks
out their respective returns,
have been engaged making
to meet the near approach of the termination of the fiscal
year, the sth instant ; and as far as they have gone, with-
out the slightest reference to the new income-tax increase,
a most favourable revenue table, both as regards the
quarter and year, is anticipated, particularly in those
branches which indicate prosperity in the great bulk
of the population, viz., Excise, Customs, and Post-office.
I am able to state with certainty they will all show well.
The law-officers of the Admiralty, who have had holi-
day for many a long year, are now furbishing up thei

parchments and precadeuts, and Sir STEPHEN LUSH'

INGTON, though upwards of seventy years of age, is
actively engaged in, if not adjudicating prizes, at all events
providing for their adjudication; and the Solicitor to the
Admiralty has been busy for the last week framing those
extraordinary commissions, granting to the subjects of one
state liberty to make reprisals on those of another for
damages sustained at sea—commonly called " Letters
of Marque." Whether they will be required or not, it
is not for me to say at present; the fact of their pre-
paration is the same. At the Ordinance-office—Tower
and Pall-mall—they are as busy as bees; in both de-
partments many changes have taken place during the
past month, which by no means have tended to the
acceleration of_public business at this particular junc-
ture. Simple as the business is in most cases, initia-
tion is necessary, and one might have thought that

the pensioning of steady and experienced hands might

have been deferred for a few months. Two have been
thus pensioned—one at £5OO a year for life, the other
at £1,200. Not bad this for the evening of life.
All eyes are now directed to Sir CHARLES NAPIER,
from whom news—" taken, sunk, or burnt"—as " per
margin," may be expected daily. Two telegraphic
messages were sent to him on Saturday—one in the
forenoon, the other during the three hours sitting of
the Cabinet Council in the afternoon. Some observa-
tions are made at the Clubs, in regard to the apparent
tardy departure of the chief officers of Lord RAGLAN'S
army, including the gallant officer himself. Military
men say that there is no ground for any apprehension,
as pitched battle is not expected between the belligerent
powers for six weeks to come ! Rather startling, certainly;
there be not a few—Aberdonians, it is true,—who believe
that a counter-project will yet be sent by Russia. I merely
give you opinions expressed in the best-informed circles.
Lord RAGLAN', the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, Lord BURG-
HERSH, Lord Durnmv, are all to eat fricandeau at the
Tuileries at the end of the week, on their way to the East ;
and I am informed by Parisians that the preparations for
the suitable entertaining of our noble soldiers, by the
EMPEROR of FRANCE, are on a scale of magnificence un-
exampled in history; and that the hearty goodwill of the
two armies towards each other knows no bounds ! The
gallant Duke of BEAUFORT, in obedience to his own re-
quest, has been appointed aide-de-camp to his uncle, the
commander of the army, Lord RAGLAN. The last Duke
of BEAUFORT, a splendid broad-shouldered soldier, with a
nose so formidable that it might go through a brick-wall,
died only a few weeks since ; he and the present Duke of
RICHMOND were the pet aids of the GREAT DUKE, to
whom Lord RAGLAN himself was always right-hand man
—albeit he has lost that sometimes useful appendage. The
present Duke of BEAUFORT is every way worthy of the
time-honoured name of SOMERSET, descending lineally
from JOAN O'GAUNT. The duke is only thirty years
of age ; his income about £50,000 a-year. Leaving
this to go and fight, looks very like English patriotism.
Lord LuceN, another brave fellow, is not so old as the
Duke of BEAUFORT;—he has a rent-roll as big. He is
related to the Earl of CARDIGAN, another of the chiefs,
and as fine a soldier as ever smelt powder. He also is
immensely rich ;—thinks nothing at all about laying out
two or three thousand pounds upon his crack military
band. He is the colonel I think I mentioned who may
be seen at the opera on a Saturday night, and yet sleep in
barracks a hundred miles off on the following morning.
BURGHERSH and DuPPLIrr are both young and very
"plucky :"—the former is the eldest son of the musical
arl of WESTMORELAND, our ambassador at Vienna ; the
latter is the eldest son of the Earl of linnvou.L, whose
fathers were honest farmers, and not very large ones either,
in Perthshire. The father and two sons, return-
ing home in the " gloarai a' " from their agricultural
labours, with their implements of agband ry over their shoul-
ders,defended a narrow passagainst it was after-
wards, and is now, known in history as the " Battle of
Loncarty ;" hence the elevation of the family to the peer-
age. The supporters to the arms are two Scottish farmers
to this day. In these enumerated you have specimens of
the flower of our nobility,—English, Irish, and Scotch,—
the Irish in numbers overtopping the other two countries.
And if Lord PALMERSTON bragged about CHARLEY NA-
VIER, the commander of the fleet, being a member of the
Reform Club, the illustrious families to which I have
drawn attention have long been all eminently Conservative.
Though it takes a week to rectify, and twenty-four hours
to contradict a telegraph, as the news of the passage of
the Danube has arrived four days, we must, I suppose,
take it for granted that the " Honourable Gentleman,' as
the CZAR of RUSSIA. delights to call hiniself in " se-
cret and confidential" conversations, has got on the right
side of that river at last ; whether it wont turn out to
be the wrong side, is a very doubtful matter. Nous
verrons. Well, then, at three points, Prince GoRTscirA-
KOPP, near 3latchin, (from Braila) with 18,000 men; at
Galatz, under General LUDERS, with 22,000 men; and at
Tultcha, under General OUTSCHA.ROFF, with 14,000 men,
the rugged Russians have, at the command of their mas-
ters, committed themselves on the historic soil of Bulgaria.
Of course this is merely " defensive." We shall see whe-
ther another, who has declared her neutrality so loudly,
will not think this "offensive." She has vaunted to the
Russian minister, MEYERNDORFF, her intention of pre-
serving the dignified position of neutrality, conserving
German interests with 400,000 men, always relying on
the assurance that the EMPEROR of RUSSIA would not
cross the Danube. They have crossed it ; and what then ?
Why Austria will declare her neutrality still. Oh, most
lame and impotent conclusion, in which his mentally and
morally purblind " Cousin" o/Prussia, who, the other day,
early knocked one of his bodily eyes against a tree,
nill most contemptibly join—Arcades ambo et pares
wantare parati. But, to come back to
