EOLIAN VENTILATOR HAT,
(6 AND 7 VIC.. CAP. 65).
LONDON, 31ST OCTOBER. 1853.
The want of a properly Ventilated and Easy-fitting Hat, particulvrlv since the introduction of the Silk Hats into general
an, has given rise to many seeming improvements. The Inventors and Patentees of the EOLIAN VENTILATOR HAT
have succeeded on the correct principle of Ventilation, by forming an Air Channel immediately around the head, permitting
a current of air to pass from thence through and out at the top of the Hat; and the design may be applied to every variety
of shape worn, without infringing the light appearance so necessary to a becoming Hat.—See Practical Mechanics' Journal,
lst August, J 833, (late of Provisional Protection). -
In directing attenti, n to this new and very desirable Spring and Summer Hat we respectfully invite an inspection, when
its utility will be most apparent. and its general style best understood.

ELEGANT PERSONAL REQUISITES.-
Under the patronage of Royalty and the Aristocracy
throughout Europe, arid universally preferred and esteemed.
The successful results of the last half century have proved
beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL pos-
sesses singularly nourishing powers in the growth, r.astoration,
and improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other
specific has failed. This celebrated Oil is now universally
acknowledged to he the cheapest, and superior to all other
preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or
turning grey—strengthens weak hair—cleanses it from scurf
and dandriff—and makes it beautifully, soft, curly, and glossy.
Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in
the growth of the beard, whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios
it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it
is especia ly recommended, as forming the basis of a beauti-
ful head of hair. In dressing the hair nothing can equal its
effect, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any
direction, and imparting a transcenclant lustre. Price 3a. 6d.
and Is. ' • Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d. • ' and
double that size, 21s.—CAUTION! On the wrapper of each
bottle are the words, ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, in two
lines. The same are engraven on the back of the wrapper
nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters.
A beautiful complexion, and soft and fair hands and arms,
are fully realized and sustained by the use of ROWLANDS'
KALYDOR, an oriental botanical preparation, which, by its
action on the pores and minute secretory vessels of the Skin,
promotes a healthy tone so essential to its general well-being
and the beauty of its appearance. Freckles, tan, pimples,
spots, discoloration and other cutaneous visitations are era-
dicated by the RALTOR, and give place to a radiant bloom and
transparency of complexion. During the heat and dust of Sum-
mer, and in cases of sunburn, stings of insects, or incidental
inflammation, its virtues have been long and extensively ac-
knowledged. Price 4s. 641. and 83.6 d. per bottle.—CA UTION !
The words ROWLANDS' KALYDOR are on the wrapper of each
bottle, and their signature, A. ROWLAND and SoNs, 20, Hat-
ton-garden, London, in red ink, at foot.
Sound and White Teeth are not only indispensably requi-
site to a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are pecu-
liarly appreciated through life as highly conducive to health
and longevity. Among the various preparations offered for
the Teeth, ROWLANDS' ODt)NTO, or PEARL DENTI-
FRICE, stands unrivalled. Prepared from oriental herbs
with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great ex-
pense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all
tartar and concretions, and impart a pearl-like whiteness to
the enamelled surface, remcve spots of incipient decay, ren-
der the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their soc-
kets, and from its aroinatc influence impart sweetness and
purity to the breath. Price 2s. 9d. per box.—CAUTION

ADDITIONAL TESTIMONIAL of the valuable
medicinal properties of FRAMPTON'S PI.J. OF
EALTH, forwarded to Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand,
London, from W. Smith, Eaq. ---', 13, St. Mark's-terrace,
West Brompton, London, 10th May, 1852. Sir,—Ten years
-no I was induced to give you my opinion, founded on expe-
rience of the merits of Frampton's Pill of Health. I am
pleated at your haying published that plain statement, by
which I hope others have been induced to try sn effective a
'medicine. Anxious cares and the neglect of my old tried
friend during the early part of this year had produced symp-
toms of uneasiness which I found it prudent no longer to
"neglect; and I am delighted to say that a few doses of the
gilts, under the blessing of Divine Providence, has removed,
_awl I am again as well as I ever was in my life. Wm. SmITII."
These Pills are particularly efficacious for stomach coughs,
+molds, agues, shortness of breath, and all obstructions of the
xtrinary passages ; and, if taken after too 'ree an indulgence
at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of
-repose. Persons of a full habit, who are subject to headache,
„giddiness, drowsiness, and singing in the ears, arising from too
wrest a flow of blood to the head, should never be without
them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried
vff by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are
most truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distress-
ing headache so very prevalent with the sex; depression of
spirits, dulness of sight, nervous affections, blotches, pim-
ples, and sallowness of the skin, and give a healthy and jure-
-mile bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are confi-
silently tecommended as the best medicine that can be taken
during pregnancy ; and for children of all ages they are
inset/willed. As a pleasant, safe, and easy aperient, they
sande the recommendation of a mild operation with the most
:ouccessful effect. By regulating the dose, according to the
age and strength of the patient, they become suitable for
.every case, in either sex, that can be required.

ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH.—lCxtract of
a letter from Mr. Thomas. Dean, 150, Scotland-road, Liver-
pool.—Gentle.nen,—l have great pleasure in communicating
to you a case (among many) which came under my own
observation. A lady, who I can refer to, in tier assiduous
attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness,
caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled
upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough,
and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her
medical man, but did not obtain any relief; when, upon the
recommendat on of a friend, she tried 1)r. Locock's Wafers,
which, from the commencement, eased her cough, and by
continuing them she is perfectly cured. THOMAS DEAN.
CURE OF A FOURTEEN YEARS' ASTHMATIC COUGH.—
I, Thomas Carter, Egremont, Cheshire, had an asthmatic
cough for fourteen years • nothing ever gave me relief until I

THE IMPERIAL BURGLAR.

NICHOLAS CUTPITESE is the designation by which
the future historian of Europe will most appro-
priately distinguish •the celebrated dealer in parole
de gentilhomme on the banks of the Neva from
Potentates of less predatory habits, and from rogues
and vagabonds of lesser note. Much as the Czar
has of late damaged his reputation by his crooked
and treacherous policy, we were not prepared to see
him demolish what little character he had left, by

an act of vulgar robbery, which, if the offence had
been committed in the county of Middlesex, would
have procured for 'him a couple of years of im-
prisonment with hard labour, besides an indignant
homily from Mr. Serjeant Adams.
It was a sufficiently disgraceful fact, that where-
as the Governments of England and France
accompanied their declaration of war with a grant
of protection to the enemy's merchant vessels for the
space of six weeks, the Russian government, on the
very instant that war was declared, seized, pillaged
and burnt whatever English merchant vessels it
could lay its hands on. The difference of conduct,
in this respect, betwen the two belligerent parties
indicates with tolerable accuracy the contrast
between that barbarism of which Russia is the re-
presentative, and the civilisation of which England
and France are the champions. But the detention
of the property left behind at St. Petersburg by the
British Ambassador under the supposed guarantee
of the law of nations, is a proceeding out of all
keeping, wholly inconsistent with a position among
civilized nations. We doubt whether even our
sable friends the Kaffirs would have been so ignorant
or so regardless of the respect due to the property
of an Ambassador, as to have been guilty of an act
of petty larceny upon his effects.
Indignation, however, on such an escapade of
Imperial savagery would be altogether thrown
away. It will make a capital subject for the pencil
of our facetious weekly contemporary, who, among
all the extravagant aspects in which he has
exhibited His Imperial Majesty, has never hit upon
anything half as ludicrous as the reality. A house-
breaker effecting a robbery by means of a fictitious
seizure, is all very well ; but an Emperor—faugh !
The Treasury, as a matter of course, will have to
indemnify Sir Hamilton Seymour, and it will be a
rare joke to have among the miscellaneous estimates
an item in the shape and fashion of a broker's bill,
for crockery and china, damask table linen and Irish
sheeting, books and articles of vertu, feloniously
abstracted from His Excellency the British Ambas-
sador at St. Petersburg by his Imperial Majesty
the Emperor of all the Russias. What a theme for
the eloquence of Mr. Roebuck, and the arithmetic
of Mr. Hume !
The Earls of Aberdeen and of Clarendon cannot
fail to be gratified, we should think, by this fresh
proof of the singular discernment which they have
shown in placing such implicit reliance on the
friendly assurances and the peaceful disposition of
the Czar. The Noble Premier, more especially,
must feel that he has reason to be proud of his old
acquaintance, and of the confidence with which the
Czar reckoned on his banitortmie, when speculating
on "the sick man's" inheritance. For his Lord-
ship's rake we hope that Sir Charles Napier will
continue to keep the Russian squadrons within the
Belts ; else we should not be surprised to hear of a
descent upon the coast of Aberdeenshire, and of a
military occupation of Haddo House, by way of a
" material guarantee" for the continuance of the
forty years' friendship between the pusillanimous
Premier and the magnanimous Czar.—.Tohn Bull.

(FROM "THE rumss.")

[Lord Aberdeen is discovered in bed, a night-lamp
beside him. Hour, midnight. Newpapers on
a table near him.
Lord ABERDEEN.
It will not be. The more I try to sleep
The more I can't. I turned, and turned, and turned,
After a fashion Graham's self might envy,
Yet not a weazel is more wide-awake,
Or that same Graham. One more chance I'll try,
And if it fail— as yet it never did—
Why, then—l'll see what next is to be done,
For, when I stoop to own that I'm defeated,
Look out for squalls, indeed! Ay, here's the drug.
[Takes up a number of the Economist, and is gra-
dually soothed into slumber.
Thanks—gentle—colleague—thou—art— ever—true.
Thou man—of hats—l'll owe—this—nap to thee.
[He sleeps. The door flies open, and a young lady,
in a helmet, short tunic, fleshings, and sandals,
and armed with a silver spear, enters.
YOUNG LADY. What ho ! Lord Aberdeen !
Lord ABERDEEN. My gracious me !
How came you in ? I'll swear—no, I won't swear—
But I was certain that the door was locked.
YOUNG LADY. No locks are worth a straw against a Saint.
Lord ABERDEEN.
True—Gladstone robs the Bank most awfully.
But who are you? The costume which you wear
Smacks of the stage far more than of the Saint,
And—or my eyes deceive me—you're a lady.
If so, yon must permit me to remark
Your nether garb—l might say, lack of garb—
Is really almost indefensible.
YOUNG LADY. I do not stand on trifles.
Lord ABERDEEN. So I see.
They are well shaped.
YOUNG LADY. I know it. But, my lord,
The question is not of my legs, but business.
I am Saint George, the Patron Saint of England,
A trifle modernised, to suit the age,
But you're a Minister of progress.
Lord ABERDEEN. Ay,
I have said so more than once. Well, handsome Saint,
I recognise you, and that graceful dress
Is copied from the die
ST. GEORGE. Never say die!
Lord ABERDEEN.
Pert as our age. Then copied from the coin
Which bears that typical device no more,

Was hung therefor—how you were made a martyr,
And champion of the faith. is your own business.
But why are you so earnest for the Turk ?
ST. GEORGE.
The fiction's worthy of the mind that sees,
In Nicholas an honourable man.
But I stand here for England, and my name
Is on her banner. Keep your graceful jests
To lead, as you have said, the House away,
When, short of argument, you try a grin.
Lord ABERDEEN.
It strikes me you are something less than civil.
ST. GEORGE.

It may be so ; but ere this year is out
You will have heard some harder truths than that,.
When every other man is dressed in mourning,
For one of those who have gone out to die,
" Where but for you this strife had never been."
Lord ABERDEEN.

What would you have me do ?
ST. GEORGE. At least not this.
You've plunged us in a war, which you deplore,
As I believe, sincerely—yes—but why
You do deplore it is a matter patent.
Your friend of forty years—your trusted friend,:
Who sends such gracious messages—whose joy
When you, his tool, are once again in office,
Eiceeds decorum—he, whose work you've done
Both in and out of season, and whose aim
You vindicate—that friend is now assailed;
His capitals ere long will hear the roar
Of cannon, loaded, primed, and laid by you.
I do believe that you deplore this war.
Lord ABERDEEN.
And I could stop it at this very moment.
ST. GEORGE.
We all know that, and also on what terms.
But England's honour is in better hands ;
Beware how you would touch it, lest, one day,
She take it in her own—and likewise you.
That were a day, indeed, of shortest shrifts.
Lord ABERDEEN.
Shrift me no shrifts. lam a Protestant.
ST. GEORGE.
And therefore champion of the gentle prince
Who crushes every liberty of conscience,
And whose fierce creed consigns yourself to flames.
Lord ABERDEEN. •
Those are his errors—l have told him of them,
In that mild language whioh is suited best
For men's conversion—and, Perhaps, some day
My hints may prove not utterly in vain.
ST. GEORGE.
Uphold him to the last. The sternest wish.
Which I will waste on you, Lord Aberdeen,
Is that some day, after the fleets have met,
You may be placed within your dear friend's reach.
I have a dragon here, but he is mild
To what your friend will be when he shall learn
Your war has sent some of his ships to atoms.
Lord ABERDEEN.
Horrible thought !
ST. GEORGE. Yet, is there not a worse
That haunts you now ?
Lord ABERDEEN. I beg you'll give it a name.
ST. GEORGE.
'Twill pack within a single pregnant word
Which will be forced upon you—it may be
Before a month has past.
Lord ABERDEEN. The word ! the word !
ST. GEORGE.
Or do you think that England means to bear
Your cold, half-hearted councils, and the sense
That you must grudge her all her victories ?
Lord ABERDEEN.
The word ! I say !
Sr. GEORGE. The word is RESIGNATION.
[Lord Aberdeen utters a great shout of defiance,
and providentially wakes himself.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

FRANCE.

Intelligence has been received in Paris that the fleet
under Admiral Parseval-Deschenes sailed on Wednesday
from Brest, for the Baltic, to join the English squadron
under Admiral Napier.
HANOVER.

The government goes most decidedly with England,
and therefore is ready to support Austria against Prussia,
should the Eastern question come before the Federal Diet.
All the secondary and minor German governments, except
Bavaria, are of the same mind, and will bring the subject
before the Diet, should not Prussia shortly agree to
abandon its neutrality.
DENMARK.

And spoils the joke which did translate the motto,
Corolla metuenda est draconis.
ST. GEORGE. Translated, how ?
Lord ABERDERN. By Hook, or else Mag,inn,
Mad wags—they read it thus—" I fear I can't
Collar the dragons," meaning, get the cash.
Excuse my pun, I've taken to it lately;
And with my humour do convulse the Peers
To take their minds off from the thought of war.
ST. GEORGE.
'Tis of that war which I do come to speak.
My friend, St. Nicholas, as you have read,
Has been in dreams appearing to your friend,
The Russian Czar, for his encouragement,
And so I thought that I would call on you,
Upon the self-same errand.
Lord ABERDEEN (ofended)• Much obliged.
But if St. Andrew had assumed the mission,
All things considered, it had been as proper.
ST. GEORGE.
You've crossed St. Andrew, and St. Andrew's cross.
You scorned the appeal of good Lord Eglinton.
Lord ABERDEEN. Well, what's your business ?

ST. GEORGE. As I said, the war.
This war which you, my lord, have brought about,
You, and you only—and which, being in,
You dread should be conducted valiantly.
Lord ABERDEEN.
I brought about ! You have not read my speeches.
ST. GEORGE.
I've read your acts ; and so, my lord, has England.
And though she pour her blood and treasure out—
The first like water, and the last like dirt—
To blast the foe whom you have called to combat,
She debits you with every drop of blood
And every coin of gold.
Lord ABERDEEN. And I deny
My liability. I did my best
To save her from this war. She had been saved
Had England's Senate all been Aberdeen.
ST. GEORGE.
And Turkey, under some Prince Turkeywitch,
Had ranked a Russian province.
Lord ABERDEEN. And why not P
You were, they say, a Cappadocian baker,
Who, ,cheating soldiers of their lawful loaves,

The Copenhagen correspondent of the Morning
Chronicle, writing on the 9th, says :—" I cannot, of course,
give you the verba ipsissinza used by Admiral Napier on
his visit to the King, which was both long and pleasant.
But I shall not be far wrong if I assure you that it was a
most important interview, in the course of which he asked,
on behalf of England and France, considerable modifica-
tions in the evidently untenable position of Denmark as to
its passive neutrality. While acknowledging that the
refusal to declare coals " contraband of war" had excited
the most friendly feelings, he gave it as his opinion that
the time was now come when the whole neutrality must
be considerably modified. It is said that the gallant
admiral will make a similar declaration to the King of
Sweden."
