FROM HONDURAS.

Captain Nckerson, of the brig September, arrived at
Boston Thursday from Tmxilo, brings advices to the
18th OF April. The country unsettled. An nsur-
recon had occurred in the state of Honduras headed
by General Guardola, but suppressed by the 60
venment Signor Busello, of the insurgents, had
been shot by the government soldiers 1t seems to us
that this is but new version of an old story
Capt. Nickerson also reports the prevalence OF ru-
NOR that the British Consul Mr.. Chateld, had insti-
gated the instruction, and advance the insur-
gents million of dollars with Interior project of
makingthe state of Honduras independent Republic
under the protection of Great Britain, &c. Of course
all this was more than idle talk, resulting from ex-
asperated feelings
MIR. Squier the American Consul had published let.
ter in the San Salvador papers, congratulaory to the
newly elected President and expressing the friendly in
erest felt in the veal of the people of Honduras by the
Government OF the United States.

some formality, or some Evidence of completeness

CREAM.-Cres1n is now admitted by all to be the very
best article for shaving to be found in this or any other

Shaving Cream, instead of being operation to be
dreaded, shaving is really luxury The ingredients of
which 1t is composed OF such nature that finer
and richer laher be made than with any other ar
cle by which the beard is sotened and the skin is not
liable to be burned by the akai which forms so large
portion OF other shaving soap, nor will it become chap
ped, but will remain smooth and soft infants. No
one, after using this Shaving Cream, ever be in
duced to use any other. Caution is necessary in pur
chasing my Shaving Cream, as there many imita-
tons sold. Ask for Jules Hauels Shaving Cream and
you will then get an article which renders shaving easy
and pleasant.
