TO LADIES

TRAVELLING, or while otherwise exposed to the
scorching rays of tue Sun and heated particles of dust,
ROWLAN DS' KALYDOR

will prove a most refreshing preparation for the Complexion,
dispelling the cloud of languor, and relaxation, allaying all heat
and irritability, and immediately affording the.pleasing sensa-
tion attending restored elasticity and healthful state of the Skin.
Composed of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free
from all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful in its
effects, Rowlands' Kaludor tends to neutralize the.action of the
atmosphere upon the Skin, and to promote that healthy action
of the microscopic vessels, by which its general well-being and
the beauty of its appearance are.so essentially promoted. Frec-
kles, tan, spots, pimples, flushes, and diFcolorations, fly before
its application,,and give place to delicate smoothness, and the
glow of beauty and of Hooni. In casesof SUN-BURN, or Stings.
of Insects, its virtues have long been. acknowledged. Its pun-
,fying and Wracking properties have obtained its exclusive
selection by filar Majesty the Queen, the Court, and-the Royal
Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe ;
together toth the-"llite" of the Aristocracy, from the sultry
climes of India,tothe frozen realms of the Czar.

The high reputation it bears induces unprincipled Shopkeepers
to offer their spurious " KALYDORS" for sale, containing mi-
neral astringents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, and by
their repellent action endangering health. It is therefore im-
perative on Purchasers to see that the words
" ROVVLANDS' KALYDOR"

are on the Wrapper. and "A. ROWLAND and EON, 20, Hatton
Garden," also engraved (by desire of the Hun. Commissioners)
on the Government Stamp affixed on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d.
and Ss. 6d.

The HEAT or SUM MER, also, frequently communicates a dry-
nessto the Hair, and a ,tendency to fall off, which may be
completely obviated by the,use of
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL,

A DELIGHTFULLY FRAGRANIP AND TRANSPARENT PREPARA-
TION; and as an invigorator .and beautifier, beyond all prece-
dent. Its intrinsic worth has obtained the exclusive patronage
of Her 31(ilesty the Queen, the Court, the Royal Family of
Great Britain, and the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe.

had suffered from a most inveterate scrofulous complaint of
the 'head from the early age of four years; his head was a
complication of such: ccumulated disease, so loathsome to the
sight, so offensive to the smell, and altogether so repulsive,
that those mho were under the necessity of attending upon him,
performed that service with reluctance. He had been under
the care of different gentlemen of the medical profession, com-
bining all the skill and talent of this neighbourhood. He was
also a patient for ten months in the Liverpool Infirmary, and
six monthsst the Dispensary: but there the combined skill of
the most eminent of the faculty was defeated, as the individual
exertions had before been. As a last effort he was placed under
the care of Mr. Taylor, who s;:cceeded in effecting a perfect
cure, and he is now well, healthy, clean, and strong, and likely
to have a good head of hair.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT OXFORD.-011 Tuesday even-
ing, a destructive fire Lroke out a few minutes before
seven o'clock on the farm of Mr. John Price, adjoining
the Woodstock turnpike-road, and about half a mile
from Oxford, which raged furiously. The fire first
originated in a shed adjoining a heap of straw, and in
an hour two wheat ricks, a barley rick, a bean rick,
two hay ricks, a clover rick, and a stack of straw, together
with the barn and unthreshed wheat, several implements
of husbandry, and the cart shed, were destroyed. The
value of the property exceeded £l,OOO. Several fine large
elm trees standing at the back of the ricks were so much
injured as to render them almost useless.
MORE SUPERSTITION.—Under the head " Veneration
of the Holy Cross," the Tablet gives the following ac-
count of another mummery recently carried on at St.
George's Church :—" On Thursday last, the Feast of the
Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the devout worshippers of
St. George's were gratified, through the kindness of the
Coadjutor Bishop of the District, by the opportunity of
paying their veneration to a portion of the True Cross,
belonging to his Lordship, and by his favour exposed
during the morning in front of the screen. A temporary
altar was erected under the rood, at which Mass was said
at eleven. In front of it, raised on a beautiful throne,
and surrounded by lie:hts, the precious relic was from an
early hour exposed to the veneration of the Faithful,
and after each of the Masses it was given by the several
priests to the people to kiss. It was delightful to see wit h
what joy the opportunity was embraced by a crowd of
worshippers. After the eleven o'clock mass, the relic was
borne in procession under a canopy round the church.
Many hundred persons assisted at the solemn mass at
eleven, and after the procession, kissed the relic presented
by the Rev. Dr. Doyle. The worshippers were chifly
poor, including the children of the schools. The only de-
ficiency, and it was a great one, was that of processional
chanting. It may be hoped that such beautiful and affec-
tionatex-
tionate devotions will more and more increase amongst
us. They commend themselves to all loving hearts, and
in fact seem the great doideraiuM 9f 9gr country at the
pregept moment."

THE JESUITS IN THE SOUTHERN HEMI-

SPHERE.
(From the Australian of April 29.)

The French ship Arche de' Alliance, which, with its
band of Jesuit missionaries, had been lying in Port Jack-
son for several weeks, suddenly sailed on Good Friday, the
21st instant, having taken on board about 30 of the South
Sea islanders, who, for the last 10 or 12 months, have been
in the service of Mr. Boyd, by whom, as it is well known,
they were brought from the Loyalties, and who had
succeeded beyond his expectation in training them to
habits of usefulness and industry. By various arts and
the aid of a plentiful supply of cocoa nuts they were
kidnapped by the .Arche d'Alliance company of Jesuits,
at whose instigation they took from Mr. Boyd's stores, the
bedding, clothes, cooking utensils, and various other ne-
cessaries, with which they had been supplied by him. Upon
being apprised of this audacious act of the French mis-
sion, Mr. Boyd, through Mr. J. P. Robinson requested
the interference of Archbishop Polding, representing to
his Grace that the men were useful servants, and that
they were under engagements to Mr. Boyd, who would
however, have no objection to allow two or three to pro-
ceed with the Arche de Alliance, if their services as in-
terpreters were desired by the mission. Mr. Robinson
further explained that this "island-labour experiment"
had every prospect of success ; that many of the Sydney
householders had engaged, and been much satisfied with
the services of the men ; and that as a very important step
in the difficult problem of colonisation, it was desirable
that the attempt to interfere with and kidtap the people in
Mr. Boyd's employ should be abandoned. Dr. Polding de-
clined to interferein the matter, on the ground "that he had
no control over the French mission ;" and Mr. Robinson
thereupon obtained from the magistrate of the water-police
warrants for the apprehension of the men who bad been
enticed on board the ship then on the eve of sailing. Be-
fore these warrants could be executed Captain Marceau
set sail, waiving the usual form of clearance, and defying
the authorities of the port. This officer's conduct will
of course be represented in the proper quarter, and in so
far as be is concerned full redress will doubtlessly be ob-
tained ; but as regards the audacious outrage by the Jesuit
missionaries, it may be advisable to consider the matter
in some other form than a tedious and, but too probably,
unsatisfactory official correspondence.

Tax HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—The delightful weather
has enabled the farmers in this quarter to urge on their
operations, and in a day or two, excepting upland districts,
the crops will be secured in the barn yards. It is said to
have turned out better in every way than was expected.
Turnips and parsnips are suffering somewhat from drought.
The reports in regard to the potato crop are rather worse
than before, and some of them come from places hitherto
exempt; but assertions are so contradictory, that it is not
easy to come to any certain decision. With this weather,
however, we do not despair of a tolerable crop.—Edin-
burgh Register.
EXTENSIVE FIRE AT BRISTOI..—A fire occurred at
Bristol on Wednesday night, in the warehouses of Messrs.
Richards, paper manufacturers, Tower-hill, St. Philip's.
The flames speedily communicated with the premises of
Messrs. 'Weston, ironmonger, which ignited with so much
fierceness that Mr. Weston and his family narrowly escaped
with their lives. The fire then communicated to the pre-
mises of Mr. Hawker, chemist and druggist, in Castle-
streeteand to the adjoining shop and warehouses of Mr.
Besseli, linendraper, in both of which it did considerable
damage. Mr. Richard's stock was uninsured. The entire
loss-is estimated at from .5,0110 to £S,OOO.
StICIDE TRROUGII iLoSSES IN SPORTING SWEEPS.—
On Wednesday, a young man hired a cab, on the stand
in'Oxford-street, London, and was driven to No. 6, Suf-
folk-street, Pall-mall. On arriving the driver opened the
door to let his fare out, when he found him lying on the
seat weltering in his blood, and a large holster pistol,
.which had been 'recently discharged, close to his rialt
hand. Mr. Cook, proprietor of the house, recognised the
deceased as his foreman. The young man whose name
was Norman Howard, was conveyed to the Charing-cross
Hospital, but was found to he quite dead. It is supposed
that the deceased committed suicide in consequence of
losses in several of the sporting lotteries. His employer
having been lately out of town, deceased had the who!e
management of the business, and it has already been
learnt that he 'received sums of money, awl lost them, of
which be had rendered no account.
ESIIGRATION CLUB.—On Monday evening a crowded
public meeting of the labouring classes, the majority cf
whom were respectable-looking mechanics, was held at
the Working Men's Institute, Pear-street, Stratton-
ground, one of the most densely inhabited and most
wretched parts of Westminster, for the purpose of
receiving the report of a committee appointed to inquire
into thenracticability of forming an emigration club fcr
the working classes. The committee proposed that a
club should be formed, to consist of an unlimited
number of members, and to be connected with the Society
for the Promotion of Colonization; that the subscribers
should pay 9d. per week per share, and ls. entry; and
that the election of members for emigration should take
place every three months, and should be decided by lot.
It was calculated that, with the proposed subscription,
the society would be enabled to send out at least one hun-
dred members in four years. A committee was formed.

RURAL SPORTS AT tAsTuAtir.—'yesterday the annual
rural sports at this delightful village, took place in front
of the hotel, under the auspices of Mr. Nicholls the pro-
prietor. The company was not very numerous. The
sports consisted of donkey races, wheelbarrow races,
treacle eating, together with several other descriptions of
the well-known amusing but rather ludicrous rustic pas-
times, with all of which the villagers and competitors ge-
nerally seemed to be exceedingly gratified. The contest
for the winner of the wheelbarrow seemed to excite un-
usual interest and mirth, the various competitors being
pi..

and terminated opposite the front door of the hotel. In
their progress towards the goal, the barrows with their
" blind" conductors paid no respect to " man or beast,"
and several of the spectators came closer into contact with
them than was compatible with their bodily safety.
THE LATE LORD GEORGE BENTINCK.—The mortal
remains of this much lamented nobleman will, it is under•
stood, be almost immediately removed to town, prepara-
tory to interment in the family vault of Marvlebone
Old Church, which is surrounded by the Portland estate.
The vault already contains the remains of the Duchess of
Portland, mother of the deceased, who, it may be recol-
lected, was found dead in her bed early in 1844; of Lord
and Lady 'William Bentinck, and other members of this
distinguished house. Lord George, it appears, has died
possessed of a considerable amount of ready money and
other personal property. He owned an estate in Norfolk
known as the Orange Farm. called so in respect to
the memory of William 111. (Prince of Orange,) who
raised the celebrated Dutch General Bentinck to the
peerage of Portland for services rendered at the battle of
the Boyne, when Schomburg, then the second in com-
mand, was shot. He also possessed some property in
Scotland. So great was the benevolence of the deceased,
that, on several occasions, he has been known to re-
establish tradesmen and others overtaken by misfortune,
on finding that their intentions had been good, merely
exacting a promise that, if ever an opportunity presented
itself, he would be repaid. During the two years of
famine he subscribed upwards of £lOOO for the relief of
the distressed Irish.

PUNISHMENT FOR DRUNKENNESS.—The magistrates
of Loughborough have for some time past enforced the
provisions of an old act of Parliament relative to drunken-
ness. Persons convicted a second time of this offence
have been required to enter into their own recognizance,
together with two other persons, in the sum of £lO, for
their sobriety during the remainder of their lives. On
the 17th of September, 1846, a stocking maker, named
Wakelin, of Quorndon, was convicted of being drunk at
the wake, at that village, a few days previously ; and that
being his second offence he was required to find the usual
sureties. With some difficulty the sureties were obtained.
and Wakelin was liberated. Two years have passed, and
the wake at Quorndon has been celebrated. Early on
the morning of Wednesday week Wakelin was drunk in
the street, and was taken into custody. He was taken
before two magistrates at Loughborough; his recogniz-
ances were estreated ; and he was informed that, unless
the £lO was paid, his goods would be distrained, and
those of his sureties, to the extent of the deficiency.
Another man was convicted a second time of drunkenness
by the same bench, and was ordered to find the usual
sureties for the remainder of his life. He was not able to
find such sureties, and was consequently committed to
Leicester prison, where he still lies, and, according to
law, will lie for an indefinite period.
AWFUL. CASE.—On' Saturday, at Lambeth Police-
office, Richard Orpin, William Lindfield, Spencer Lind-
field, and Mary Ann Dryden, who have been in custody
for some days, were placed at the bar before the Hon. G.
Norton, on the charge of having caused the death of
Eliza Wilson. The details were unfit for publication.
The female prisoners occupied a house where females, to
conceal their shame, were in the habit of going to be con.;
fined; but several neighbours swore that when they left
the premises they had notinfants with them. The house
was searched, but nothing of a suspicious character had
been found. The superintendent of police had, however,
caused an extract to be made from the " occurrence
book" kept at the station-house, and found that from
that month twelvemonths the following dead bodies of
infants were found in the neighbourhood—viz., " Sept.
4, 1847. Found, in a ditch in Tarleton-place, Walworth-
common, the body of a female child, newly-born ; ver-
dict ' Found dead.;—Oct. 27. Found, in Albany-crescent,
Albany-road, the body of a newly-born male child ; ver-
dict, Wiiful murder against some person or persons un-
known.' March 6, 1848. Found, at 4, East-lane, the
body of a newly-born male child ; verdict, Wilful mur-
der against some person or persons unknown.—May 11.
Found, in the Surrey Canal, the body of a new born male
child ; verdict, ' Found dead.'—August 29. Found, in the
area of the house, 17, Lacy-terrace, Penton-place; the
body of a male infant ; verdict, Found dead.'—March
17. Found, in the garden of Apollo-buildings, the body
of a newly-born male child; verdict, ` Wilful murder
against some person or persons unknown.' " The pri-
soners were remanded, the magistrates refusing to take
bail. There were handed to the bench two numbers of
the Times paper, of the date of October, 1826, in which
were given, under the head of Union-hall Police-court,
lengthened reports of an investigation at that court, touch-
ing the parentage of the prisoner, William Lindfield. It
appears that a Mrs. Burrows, a widow lady of great re-
spectability had, in order to conceal her shame from
her family and friends, been privately confined at the
house of Mr. Lindfield, Mrs. Burrows, shortly after the
birth of the infant, felt so convinced that a deception had
been practised on her, and that the infant given to her was
substituted fur her own, that she did not pay it common
attention, and it was ultimately discovered by the parish
authorities in a frightful state of emaciation, with the
bones nearly protruding through the skin, and the flesh of
his thumbs quite raw, from the little creature's sucking its
flesh, which afforded it nourishment. Mrs. Lindfield ul-
timately agreed to Oise the infant, and had brought him
up as her son.
