The predictions that Great Britain would lose most of her commerce after the opening of the Suez Canal, freely made On the Continent of Europe and even in America, are not likely to be full GEled, judging by the statistics for 1871. n is tTas that the canal is as yet only par tally sasce@sfGl, and that the change of commer sial superiority from one nation of another is a matter of years, even where the advantage of situation are radically altered by Rew routes. But the report of the oHeeFs of the anslitself for 1871 shows thza the commerce by that route has been vastly Tn favor of England. Of the ton nags which passed through during the year, that of Cheat Britain compares with that Of all rivals as follows British, 546,- gs1; all other nations, PA, 76S- S-total, 7T1, ,40a.

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and badness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are de- stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, so that new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with pasty sedi- ment, 1t will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling of, and consequently prevent badness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma- ton of dandruff, which is often, so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju- rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm. 1t. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving 1t rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.

RxMARxAmxg LAKES-On the top of ria~e of m0nmfains in Portugal, called Extxnlla. are two lakes of great extent and dspkh, one of which is said to be unfath- enable. What IS chiefly remarkable in them is. that they are calm when the sea is 60. and rUagh when that is stormy. It is. therefore, probable that they have a sahkerrmnean communication with the ocean: and. this seems to be confirmed by the pieces of ships they throw up, though almesE fowty miles from the sea.
 There ia another extraordinary lake in that country, which, before a storm, is saia to make frightful, rumbling noise, thak nsy be heard at distance of several niles. And we are also told of pool or foankmin. called Fervencias, about twen- tv-four miles from C0imbra, that absorbs not oalv wood, but the hghtest bodies thrown into if, such as cork, straw, feath- erm. etc, which sink to the bottom and are never seen more. To these we may add . remarkable spring near Estremoz, which psknfss wood, or rather incrusts it with 6 cmse of stone; but the most remark able circumstance is, that in summer it thrcwz up water enough to turn several mills, and in winter is perfectly dry Ho@seA0ld Journal

OUR PETERSBURG LETTER.
Correction Concerning Mr.. J. w. 10. Mathews,
Who Is Not a Boiler, Nor the Friend of 81

Who Is Not a Boiler, Nor the Friend OF -
Boiler.
PETERSBURG, VA,,IJuly Is, 1872.
TO The Editor qfEte State JoaTHa7:
In the hasty making up of my letter of
the 18th instant, | find | inadvertently did
injustice to Mr.. J. W. i. Mathews, of this
city. The impression has been made that
| cIasscd him with the boilers at Farm
vile. | intended to make exactly the
opposite impression. Although | stated
the fact that he went out Of the convention,
| also sad that he returned and nominated
and voted for Mr.. Williams in the regular
convention.
am now very glad to be able to state
by authority that Mr.. Matthews had no
intention of boiling, but that he merely
went out to respond to the call of n friend,
and Immediately returned, considering it
TO be his duty to the people that sent him
to remain in the regular convention and
support Mr.. Williams. This he did, as |
stated in a former letter.
| am very happy to make this correction,
if correction was needed, as all the friends
of Mr.. Stowell, and every right thinking
person admire the very proper and consist.
ant course pursued by Mr.. Mathews at
Farmyillo, and especially as it presents such
a pleasing contrast with the course Of those
Petersburg delegates who participated in
the causeless and diSgracelul bolt that
" nominated Mr.. Porter.
