III Sick Headache Rcmcdy.--A remedy Tor
the sick headache, which has heen Recently offered
TO the public is attracting great attention, only
by OF the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by Il, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af-
fcted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his 'rcm-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with a large practice. He is physician la whom
great confidence is placed; aud we do mol wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has sitraciedhc attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard Of it,.
From our own knowledge Of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have doub, that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives and that il will
prove to be great benefit TO all who may give il
a trial.-Lyan Ne,os, Deeember %, 1853.

From The London Times of May Both.
The Stere OF Sensational.

The siege is proceeding with great activity, es-
pecially our extreme left attack, where General
Pessier has given fresh impulse TO the operations
of the French army. The entertainment between
the Central Bastian and Quarantine Fort was
taken in the successive nights Of the Odd and 23d
instant. Gortschakof states that the Russian
forces lost 2, 500 men in driving back the enemy;
but in fact they did not drive back the French,
and their losses amount to twice that number.
Pclisser expressly reports that his troops are
dcfnitively established in the works, by which
We understand that the line Of Russian counter
approach is turned against the place and forms
part Of the south parallel Of attack. The French
are also constructing and arming new preaching
batteries within one hundred metres of the place
Instead of sortcs directed by the Russians against
the lines Of besiegers, we have now, therefore, adj
vancod into position Of the works Of the enemy,
and on all points steady progress has been made.
On the 25th Of May, Pelissier reports the occu-
patton Of the valley Of the Tschernaya. During
the whole Of the winter, the allies have been in
irenchcd ON the southern side Of this stream, and
defended from attack By steep cliffs which en-
close the valley. The Russians held fortified in
like manner tho northern bank, on which lie the
ruins of old inkcrmann. Their guns in position
commanded this valley, and sometimes reached
our encampment on the other side.
As long as they occupied those heights in force
Il was impossible for the allies 10 descend 10 the
river; and rs we are informed that river Is now
within our lines, Il must be inferred that the
forces which commanded II from the opposite
side have been Withdrawn. Indeed, Peltssicr es-
prcssly states that tho enemy not being in force
made very little resistance, and speedily retired
10 the mountains.

TO LOVERS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

II
i uate of the Polytechnic School OF Paris,
specially Offers his services a teacher Of his
native tongue 10 Schools Classes, and Private
Pupils of this city and vicinity The system he
follows TO facilitate the acquisition Of the French
Language, unites in due proportion theory and
practices by which avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with in pursuing one Of the
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the idiomatical part OF the language or prac.
teal one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, if not entirely, at least far TOO much, are
neglected. In following these theoretical gram
mars, the student must have experienced that
after having devoted long time to the mere me-
morizing of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of number Of set phrases, valuable it is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions.
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil, in adopting his method, may, with
little effort, after a course of foryetght lessons,
understand and speak the French, and find the as
sistance of teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution of the studies of that language.
Instruction in Pencil Drawing, Pastel Painting,
and Penmanship, can also be had from the adver-
tIser.
References in success in teaching, etc., ETC., will
be given.
