~ The b,st evidence that can be adduced IN favor
of The cicaciousness of Hoofands German Biters pre-
pa ed by Dr. c. NJ. jackson is the uhprecedent demand
Tor them from all parts ofthc Union; and although there
NAV be many compounds prepared and represented as
bcng worthy of liberal patronage, yet we teei con
strained 10 remark that the vast number OF testimonials
with which the worthy doctor has been honored' by
sons of the highest character and responsibility, who
FUND it necessary TO have to his preparation
is testimony sufficiently conclusive that more eecu-

From Europe

The steamer Canada arrived at Halifax on the
10th, bringing dates from Liverpool 10 the 29th
April, being seven days later than previous advi-
ceS,
'The news frvm the seat of war indicates IN
creased vigor on the part of the allies. Twenty
thousand French and eight thousand English
troops had arrived at Gallipolis.
No important engagement had occurred "A
sanguiuary engagement near Kalatat was without
decisive result.
1t was reported that the Russians had evacua-
ted Little Wallachia.
Napier was at Stockholm on the 9th, and his
fleet was anchored fifty miles off. The allied
fleets were off Odessa on the Goth.
The Russians were withdrawing from the neigh
borhood of Kalatat.
There had been no important movement at the
seat of war.
The report of Odessa having been bombarded
is altogether uniounded. Neither is there any
foundation for the rumor that Silistria was taken
The commercial adyiees are important. Bread
stuffs have largely declined, whilst Cotton has
improved.
A Russian decree allows English and French
ships six weeks from April 10Th, in which to take
their departure FROM the Black Sea, and SIX weeks
from April i7th, to leave the Baltic ports Neu-
