DR. DE LA MOTTE'S nutritive, health-restoring,
AROMATIC CdOCOLATE, prepared from the nuts •of
the Sassafras tree. This Chocolate contains the peculiar vir-
tues of the Sassafras root, which 'has been longheld 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
digestion, and to a deficiency of this property in the-customary
breakfast and supper may in a great measure-tie attributed the
p)tes.stre frequency of cases of indigestion ge ally termed bilious. It
has been found highly beneficial i orrecting the state of the
digestiveorgans, &c., from Ticece arise many diseases, such
as eruptions of the ski,' t, rheumatism, and scrofula. In
cases of debility of t stomach and a sluggish state of the
liver and intestin occasioning flatulence, costiveness, &c.
and in spasmodi asthma, it is much recommended.

A large cave has been found in the neighbourhood of
M mtrose, which appears to have been formerly the resort
of some of the larger class of carnivorous animals, pro-
bably hyenas, which dragged their prey there to be
devoured. "Bones and teeth of carnivorous animals, and
bones of ruminant animals, which have evidently been
gnawed, are abundant. An enormous deposit of animal
matter has been excavated by a neighbouring farmer, who
has found it a valuable fertiliser.
STRANGE SUPERSTITION.—One of the villagers of War-
wick in this county, died lately, and it was proposed to
inter his remains in the neighbouring churchyard. An
elderly matron, a relation of deceased, objected to this,
and insisted that he should be buried in the churchyard of
his native parish. 'On being interrogated as to the reason
of her objeciion, she replied that none of the relatives or
acquaintances of the deceased were buried in Warwick
churchyard, and if his remains were deposited there, there
would be " nae kept faces at the resurrection'!"—Carlisle
Journal.

MONEY-ORDERS.—A notice, issued by the Postmaster
General, appears in Tuesday night's Gazelle. directing,
tiat in future, on the suspension of the business
of any Post-office where money-orders have been made
payable, such orders shall be payable at any other
Tostoffice which the Posmaster-General -shall direct.
That such orders shall be invalid at the expiration
of twelve months from their date ; that money-orders
shall be payable within two months after the end of the
month of their issue ; such orders, if not paid within the
stipulated period, to be •renewable by fresh orders, less
the poundage, on application to the Postmaster-General,
and:subject to the regulations affecting original orders.
TRADE RETURNS.—The board of trade returns for
the ,month ending the sth of July were issued on
Saturday, and again show an increase in the declared
value of our exportations. As compared with the cor-
responding month of last 'ear, which was in itself
considered an exceedingly satisfactory one, this
increase is £427,000, while as compared with July
1848, it amounts to the enormous sum of
£1,921,400. The effects of .the rise of price in
cotton are shown in a considerable diminution as
regards the quantity of manufactures of that mate-
rial exported, for which the advance in value has only
partially compensated, but the woollen trade has largely
benefitted both with respect to quantity and value.
Amongst thetlargest items of increase haberdashery and
hardwares are still the most remarkable. On the former
the increase for the month has been £39,422, while for
the half year it has reached the sum of £202,868,
the entire business having also nearly doubled since
the corresponding half of 1848. The various arti-
cles in which we are most exposed to foreign com-
petition likewise .continue on the favourable side.
The aggregate value ot our exports during the first half
of the present year has been £31,778.504, against
£26,515,439 in the like period of 1849, showing an
increase of £5,263,065, which has occurred in the following
order.:—Month ending February 5. £858,285; March
5, X 556,746; April 5, £418,089; May 5, £1;398,232 ;
June.s, £1,604,623: July 5, £27,000; total, £5;263,065.
As compared also with the same period of 1849, the in-
crease is £9,004,678. As regards the imports of the
past mouth there is nothing to call for particular
notice. Salted meats continue to show the diminu-
tion which has been observable throughout the year, and
which would seem to denotea successful home competition.
In tea and sugar an increase in consumption is observable,
but coffee still declines. The importation of wheat during
the month has been large. but the total for the six months
has been 684,068 quarters less than in the first six months
of 1849.

The highest point outward things eau bring us to is the
contentment of the mind, with which no estate can be
poor—without which all estates will be miserable.

FREE TRADE.—The Rainbow, Captain Emerson. a
Yankee bottom, has arrived in Queenstown from Richi-
bucto, with deals. The Captain reports that 42 other
United States vessels are being loaded with timlxr for the
United Kingdom. What wilt the Canadians say to this ?
THE TURKISH MlNT.—This new Turkish mint, or
English mint in Turkey, is the one perfect thing they
have. Nearly every new thing is a whim-wham or a
wretched failure ; this alone challenges an unqualified
admiration. It stands within the second court of the
Serraglio, and is the only thing really worth looking at
within those vast and now nearly desolate enclosures. I
doubt whether out of London and out of Paris (since the
French mint has been improved with the aid and per-
sonal superintendence of Sir Jasper Atkinson) there is
such another mint htho world.-7'tirkey and its Desti-
