ELECTRICITY, GALVANISM, AND MAGNETISM.

J. A. manufactures every thing connected with the above.
He has constantly on hand a variety of the most improved
MEDICAL COIL MACHINES. The application and manage-
ment of them can be understood in a few minutes. GAL-
VANISM is now admitted by all to be the most curative agent
in all diseases connected with the nervous system. No family
ought to be wiehout one of these instruments; they are so con-
structed that the sensation from them can be produced of the
most pleasing kind. Some are made that give shocks so severe
that they deter the patient from their use.

WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY.
THE rapidly-increasing sale of this invaluable
MEDICINE is a convincing proof of its efficacy. The
proprietor can confidently recommend it in all cases of Coughs,
Sore Throats, Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the
Chest and Lungs, as well as for the relief and ultimate cure of
long-standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resist-
ance to the most approved remedies. Being entirely free from
all noxious ingredients, and beneficial to the system generall:.<
it may be taken by persons of all ages with perfect safety; for
whilst powerful to heal and give relief to the cheat and throat,
and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and
purify the blood.
The Proprietor has pleasure in submitting the following most
satisfactory testimonials selected from a great many
" Chatham, April 18th, 1850.
" Dear Sir,—Mrs. Chiseman, of Garden-street, Brompton,
has been cured of a cough of four years' standing, by taking
one box of your Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing
her gratitude, in order that others similarly afflicted may ob-
tain the same benefit. Please send me three dozen of the
large boxes for her brother to take out to the Mauritius with
him next week. I can also add my testimony that, from the
many cases I have seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded
it stands unrivalled as a general cough medicine.—Yours truly,
"To Mr. Woolley." " HENRY WATTS, Chemist, Chatham.

TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 10, 1853.

THE WEEK.

THE opening of the merry month of May, ever

suggestive of pleasant associations, has not been
without its interest, notwithstanding the face of
nature has hardly yet put on the livery of smiling
Spring. The meeting on the Roodee, at Chester,
as the commencement of the racing season, at-
tracted thousands or visitors from all parts of the

kingdom, from the proud peer to the pOor peasant.
But Chester was not suffered to monopolise all the
interest, for the worthy Mayor of Liverpool enter-
tained a party of distinguished guests in honour of
the Great Exhibition in Dublin, which is to be
opened with due ceremony on Thursday next, and
for the success of which the most lively anticipa-
tions are indulged in. Indeed, Liverpool has done
her portion in contributing specimens of her skill
and industry, and will furnish an ample quota of
visitors, for whom the commodious steam-boats
will furnish such a comfortable means of transit;
and though many will avail themselves of the
Chester and Holyhead line, in order to diminish
the sea voyage, we may look to see a goodly
number take advantage of the excellent line of
steamers from this port to Dublin.
The Town Council met on Wednesday, and
though the counter attraction of the race for the
Cup thinned the numbers who attended, a large
amount of business was got through, if we may
judge by the number and the length of the speeches.
There was evidently an anxiety to get away, and as
such a weakness was very pardonable under the
circumstances, it would have been much better to
have assembled pro forma, and adjourned till the
following week. The Council would have found a
sufficient precedent in the House of Commons, who
invariably adjourn over the Derby day.
Yesterday there was a singular change in the
weather, unparalleled in the memory of the oldest
inhabitant. When morning broke, the country
around presented the appearance of mid-winter—
the fields, trees, houses, and everything being co-
vered with a heavy coating of snow, which was
then rapidly falling, and continued to do so during
the greater part of the day, gradually changing to
rain.

The monotony of a purely business debate on
- the Budget, in the House of Commons, on Thurs-
day night, was strangely relieved by the escapades
of a young member of the Irish Brigade, rejoicing
in the name of DUFFY. Stung with mortification
at the break-up of his little party, he openly ac-
cused the Ministry of corruption, surpassing the
days of the WALPOLES and the PELHAMS ; but
expressed his feelings in such ambiguous terms,
that the meaning of his charge became an element
in the disorderly discussion which ensued. With
an anxiety for martyrdom, he declined to retract or
explain ; but the next night he made his apology,
and the affair ended. He is a worthy specimen of
the legislators elected by the intimidation of Romish
priests, and other political fire-brands.

FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.—In addition to the funeral service per-

formed at the Invalides on Wednesday, for the repose of

the soul of the Emperor Napoleon 1., a funeral service
was performed in the Imperial Chapel in the Tuileries,
which was attended by the Emperor, the Princess
• Mathilde, Princes Napoleon and Lucien, the Duke and
Duchess of Hamilton, &c. The Empress was absent,
being still confined to her apartment.
The four Commissioners appointed to make a tour of

inspection in the provinces were admitted on Monday to
. an audience with the Emperor, in order to receive His
Majesty's instructions. The official journal states that
one of the principal effects of their mission will be to
place before His Majesty the expression of the wishes of
the country, and to point out various improvements, the
execution of which will be beneficial to the public
generally.
M. Oscar Lafayette, a Captain in the artillery, who
successively formed part of the Chamber of Deputies and
of the Constituent and Legislative Assemblies, has just

been declared to have resigned his commission in the
army, in consequence of his refusal to take the oath.
This officer is the eldest of the grandsons of General

Lafayette.
A telegraphic despatch announces that the steam cor-
vette Le Pluton has left Marseilles for Oran, with a body
of troops on board. The expedition against the Kabyles
will, it is asserted, commence on the 25th or 30th instant.
The Governor-general himself will take the command.
The Eclaireur steamer has also left Toulon for Algeria.
This vessQl will be placed at the disposition of General
Randon, in order to assist him in his operations against
the Kabvles.
ITALY.—Disturbances have occurred lately in
different parts of Tuscany, but none of a serious character.
They have been caused by the drawing for the conscrip-
tion, the Tuscans having a general antipathy for military
service. A quarrel took place recently in Rome between
some French invalid soldiers and some Roman dragoons ;
the former, though unarmed, were attacked by the latter
with their sabres, and one of them was seriously wounded.
A serjeant of the 21st Light Infantry, who happened to
come up at the time, endeavoured to restore order, but
two of the dragoons attacked him. He managed to lay
hold of the sabre of one of his assailants, with which he
ably defended himself, and the dragoons were at length
overpowered and arrested, and will be tried by a Court-
martial for insubordination.

SWlTZERLAND.—Considerable uneasiness has been
occasioned at Berne by a despatch from Lieut.-Colonel
Burnant, secretary to Colonel Bourgeois, announcing that
the Austrians had established a military post near Stabbio,
on a territory which is considered as belonging to Swit-
zerland. On the receipt of this intelligence the Council
immediately assembled to inquire into the affair.

PORTUGAL.—The Indemnity Bill, sanctioning the
acts of the Dictator Saldanha, passed the Lower Chamber
on the 28th ult., by 81 against 20, and a similar decision
was expected when it should be put to the vote in the
House of Peers. .

The serious illness of Viscount Sada Bandeira leaves
little hope of his recovery.

HOLLAND.—The Moniteur contains the following
from the Hague :—" The internuncio of the Holy See
has just installed the new Catholic bishops in the different
diocsses of the kingdom of the Low Countries. Monsig-
nor Belgrado visited in succession for that purpose Breda,
Ruremonde, Bois-le-Duc, Utrecht, and Haarlem. Dr.
Z sysen, Archbishop of Utrecht, is to reside at Bois-le-
Duc, as administrator ad interim of the diocese, and M.
De Vr6e, Bishop of Haarlem, has chosen, pro ternpore,
for his residence the ecclesiastical seminary of Warmond.
All passed off with the greatest order and tranquility."

TURKEY.—It is thought the stay of Prince Menschi-
koff at Constantinople will be a long ore. He has re-
ceived from Vienna a suite of magnificent furniture. The
question of the Holy Places has been brought to a termi-
nation. The negociations respecting the Greek Patri-
archate alone are still pending, but it is certain that all
further armaments will be suspended.

AUSTRIA.—The Emperor of Russia, and the Kings
of Prussia, Belgium, Bavaria, Greece, and Naples, with
the Duke of Saxe Coburg, will arrive at Vienna in the
course of this month.
RUSSlA.—Accounts from St. Petersburgh state that
another expedition was preparing against Herat, and that
Colonel Shiel, the English Ambassador, threatened to
leave if it were carried into execution.
