CANDLES.
CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
A LARGE quantity of CANDLES having been
XX lately brought into this town from Warrington, at prices
ruinous to honest Traders, the TALLOW CHANDLERS of
LIVERPOOL, in self-defence to state that they have ob-
tained Samples of the sa om several Dealers, and having
weighed them at the P lc Market Office, find they are inva-
riably from Ten to T ve Ounces in the Dozen Pounds short
of weight; and be eying that a profit thus fraudulently ob-
tained is as injurious to the Public as to themselves, they
therefore venture to hope that no Grocer will countenance so
disreputable a proceeding and that no respectable House-
keeper will patronise those 'Dealers who connive at the same.

Families should observe inferior qualities can be pro-
cured at much lower pr' , but this article is manufactured
from the finest brow eed, and but few Shopkeepers will give
the price for the a cle, consequently it has gained us such
reputation, that any other Houses are offering an article of
Mustard, of the second quality, at lower prices.
Families will find that one pound of the genuine Durham
Mustard will go further in domestic purposes than one pound
and a half of the second quality.

SASS XFRAS CHOCOLATE.
DR. DE LA MOTTE'S NUTRITIVE, HEALTH
RESTORING AROMATIC CHOCOLATE,
PREPARED FROM THE NUTS OF THE SASSAFRAS TREE.
Sold by the Patentee, 12, Southampton-street,
Strand, London: THIS CHOOOI ATE contains the peculiar virtues of
of the Sassafras Root, which has been long held in great
estimation for its purifying and alterative properties. The
aromatic quality (which is very grateful to the stomach) most
invalids require for breakfast and evening repast, to promote
digeecion, and to a deficiency of this property in the customary
breakfast and supper, nay in a great measure be attributed the
deersrvettonar
frequency of cases of indigestion ally termed bilious. It
has been found highly benefici n correcting the state of the
digestive organs, &c., from ence arise many diseases, such
as eruptions of the ski out, rheumatism, and scrofula. Irt
cases of debility of e stomach, and a sluggish state of the
liver and intesti , occasioning flatulence, costiveness, &c.,
and in spasmo ' asthma,_it is,muth recommended.

TENNY LIND'S VOICE LOZENGES, strongly
d recommended to Clergymen, Singers, Public Speakers, and
Actors. These Lozenges were especially prepared for the
private use of Mademoiselle Jenny Lind, who has been in the
habit of using them since her arrival in England, and with the
most beneficial result, and on the occasion of her visit to Bir-
mingham on Thursday, the 26th of August, she at once afforded
the Proprietor, Mr. Charles Belton, of 43, High-street, Bir-
mingham, an interview, when after expressing herself in the
p possible terms of approbation as to their vry valuable properties, and the great relief and comfort she had found from
the use of them, presented to him her autograph certificate,
requesting him to make free use of. it to give the Lozenge her
own name, and to assure the ,on er authority, of the
great advantages to be der' from the constant use of them.

FOREIGN 4- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.

AMERICA.
The royal mail steam-ship Britannia, Captain Harrison,
arrived in the Mersey at two o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing. The Britannia having received the required repairs,
left New York on the 28th ult., and made the run to
Boston, whence she sailed as usual on the Ist, in thirty-
seven hours. She brought seventy-six passengers ; and
throughout the passage encountered strong easterly winds.
The steam-ship Hibernia, hence, was spoken on the 2d
instant, between Halifax and Boston.
The French steam-ship Union left New York for Cher-
bourg on the 20th ult., with but few passengers.
The Sarah Sands screw line-of-packet-ship would leave
New York for this port early this month. Her comman-
der, Captain Thompson, had been entertained in public by
his passengers on the outward run.
The contents of our letters by this arrival add little to
our previous information in regard to the Mexican War,
and the prospect of peace. The official despatches of the
commander-in-chief had not been received, though it was
understood that a special steamer waited at Vera Cruz
their arrival. No later accounts of any description had
been received from the interior ; and beyond the some-
what improved aspect of opinion with regard to the pro-
bable speedy termination of the war, we on this occasion
can report alone rumours upon which no reliance can be
placed ; to the effect, on the one hand, that Paredes had
entered the capital and deposed and arrested Santa Anna,
and, on the other, that Valencia, one of the chiefs of the
war party and friend to Paredes, had surrendered.
Monterey letters announce, that active operations had
been opened against the guerillas on the American line of
communication with Camargo. In Chihuahua affairs
were progressing amicably between the Mexicans and the
American traders.
The commercial accounts will be found in our usual
article.
Domestic affairs were somewhat more interesting. The
prohibition of slavery in any new territory to be acquired by
the Union had been resolved upon by the state convention
of Vermont. Several additional meetings in support of
General Taylor's claims to the Presidency had been held.
The epidemic in N'w Orleans was considerably abated.
A lamentable shipwreck occurred at Long Reach, Berne-
gat Island, on the 25th ultimo, in one of the equinoctial
gales of the season. The New Orleans ship Auburn was
driven on shore and totally lost, with her captain, mate,
and sixteen of the crew and passengers.

SWITZERLAND.
The accounts from- Switzerland publiehod in same of
the Paris papers are of much gravity ; a civil war appears
to be imminent in that country. The canton of Berne
has adopted military measures on a grand scale. The
Excecutive Council issued, on the 7th, a decree summon-
ing to arms all men between the ages of 20 to 40. Argan
was also organizing its contingents, and even the land-
sturm, On the other hand, the brave cantons of the
Sonderbund were actively preparing for the struggle, and
the Helvetie professes to be acquainted with their plan of
operations. According to that print, they will not await
a declaration of hostilities, or even the arrival of the fe-
deral commissioners; their troops will assume the offensive,
and march into the enemy's territory the moment the
twelve Radical cantons shall have voted the measures of
execution. The movements of the Sonderbund's forces
are to be supported by insurrections, which are ready to
break out in the districts of Porrentruy, Soleure, St. Gall,
Tessino, the Grisons, end probably, also, Neuchatel.

Queen Isabella of Spain completed her 17th year on
Wednesday.
It is said that Narvaez accomplished his ends in obtain-
ing the office of prime minister of Spain by asserting that
the Progresistas were plotting against the throne, and by
promising her Majesty a divorce.
EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.—The emigration to New
York has increased much this year ; in the month of July
alone, 20,000 persons entered that port, and since the Ist
of April more than 84,000 passengers have passed through
the Custom-house.
Matters in Naples have assumed, a most satisfactory as-
pect. The King intended granting an amnesty, and other
concessions. The Neapolitan funds had in consequence
risen to 104. The French fleet had left the Bay of
Naples.
The Madrid journals of the 9th, state the current ru-
mour that Gonzales Bravo would be taken into the
Cabinet ; and that Narvaez, in order to make room for
him, would excnange the portfolio of Foreign Affairs for

that of War. _
The West India colonies are about to send delegates to
meet at St. Thomas's, with the view of drawing up a
statement of their distressed condition, for the considera-
tion of the Home Government. The notion they appear
to entertain, that the restoration of the old differential du-
ties can be obtained, is, of course, utterly chimerical. But
the planters have just cause of complaint, and a united
remonstrance of this kind must be listened to.
MURDER OF THE COUNTESS OF GOERLITZ.—The
Count de Goerlitz, who was accused by the German
Spectator and the Manheim Evening Gazette with the
commission of a terrible crime, has written a letter to the
Frankfort Journal, and several other papers, saying that
in order to reply to this horrible imputation,. he has
accused these two journals of calumny before the tribunal

at Darmstadt. -
HORSE-FLESH BANQUET.—About 160 persons sat
down yesterday to a horse-flesh dinner, in the • Adler
Hotel, at Bornheim. The dinner was ordered by the
Frankfort "Society for the Protection of Animals" (Rum
Schutze de Thiere). We are enabled to state that horse-
flesh affords a very palatable dish. The dinner was
enlivened by many toasts and songs.—Frankfurter Jour-
nal, Oct. 9.
MADEMOISELLE ALBONI.—The Parisian critics are in
raptures with Alboni and her " elegance, purity, and
flexibility of style," and literally asteimAeA at the extra-
ordinary compass of her vocal scale, from F in the bass
cleff to C sharp above the lines in the treble. After her
Hungarian campaign, Mademoiselle Alboni will return to
Paris in January, and there remain till March. In the
winter of 1848 she will spend six months in the French ca-
pital. The directors already talk of having parts " created"
for her by the composers.
SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIVES.—The Commercial
Gazette states that on Sunday night last, about 10 o'clock,
a Russian barque named the Iris of Bjornbergh, 400 tons
burthen, bound to Falmouth for orders, and laden with
Indian corn, with a crew of twelve men, was wrecked near
Gunwalloe. She was from Volo, a port in Turkey, near
Salonica. Three men were thrown upon the rock near
Gunwalloe Church, and three swam to the shore, but we
regret to state that six of the crew were drowned. The
vessel went to pieces and is a total wreck.
The last accounts from Paris state that Christina, the
Queen Mother, accompanied by her husband, M. Munoz,
had departed, artfully concealing her flight, from the
French capital, and carrying passports authorising the
bearers to travel under any name. By this time, it is
believed, she is at Madrid, where the field has been left
open to her by Serrano, who had absconded after accept-
ing his large bribe. The Queen Mother was summoned
by Narvaez to establish the work which he had begun,
and to which, it is believed, the King of the French was
accessory.
The arrival in Paris of the ex-King of Westphalia
(Jerome Bonaparte) and his son has occasioned much spe-
culation. The matter is explained in this way :—The ex-
King solicits a pension in place of the dotation settled on
him by'his brother the Emperor Napoleon. This has been,
promised by King Louis Philippe, who is no doubt re-
joiced at an opportunity of disposing in this way of any
pretensions of another character that Jerome might have
raised, and which will be thus set at rest. His son, Prince
Jerome, begged to be allowed to enter the French army,
but this was of course refused by King Louis Philippe. A
bill granting the pension solicited will, however, be laid
before the Chamber of Deputies immediately after it shall
have sat for the transaction of business.
ENGLISH BUILDINGS IN CHINA.—A location on the
Canton river for warehouses, &c., and a site for a church,
have been at length obtained, and at Shangae our people
have got about 100 acres for building, with roads, drain-
age, &c., all their own. At -Hong Kong every public
work and building is now either finished or in progress,
except a government-house, for which a site and estimates
have been got. The Chinese people, however, at Canton,
Shinganese, &c., still look upon the English "barbarian"
as if he were "a bull in a china-shop," and threaten that
stone-cutters will be cut all into small pieces, bricklayers
" broken into a tile," and all and sundry `looked upon
as beasts," who dare to lift a little finger either in "sup-
plying with tiles, wood, granite, or other building mate-
rials," or in building for, or otherwise aiding and abetting
this " detested brood" in their design upon the country.'
