[Advertisement.])Divinely beautiful ate the effects produced by an incomparable preparation recently discovered, combining the most exquisitc and beautiful cosmetics. Its radical purifying _quali- ties render it infinitely superior to any cosmetic ever known. By its unprecedented properties it removes freckles, pimples, spots, and all cutaneous eruptions; and thus prevents those disorders which dis- organize the beauty of the female countenance. In addition to the virtues of ROWLAND'S KALYDOst already adverted to, it imparts a. lusuriant and matchless beauty to the complexion; affords soothing relief to ladies nursing their oftsprinF. To gentlemen, after shavin, it allays the irritation and smarting pain, and renders the skm smooth and pleasant. Rowland's Kalydor will ever be found most efficient in its balsarnic effects, and delectable in its application. [Advertisement.1-ATvxINSON'S BEAR'S GREASE, for the growth of Hair.-J.

Tle Cambridge, Barber, arrived in the Downs from RoTr.. Iay, sailed A\ug. 1-1; from the Cape, Oct. 14; and St. Helena, 30th. On Sunda, ight, off the Isle of Wight, the purser (Mr. C'harles ynell), with the (ni2npany's despatlies and the Post-office bags, went on board the Favouwite pilot vessel, accompanied by the following pas- sengers-viz. Mrs. Henry Lock, Miss-Lock, Mr. Dowler, Captains Duckingfietd, H. MAVilliams, Anthony, Pressick, and Brett. It was reported at Portsmouth on Moniday, that the Favourite pilot-vessel was lost, anid great fears are entertained for the safety of the passengers, as snone of themn nor the despatchies or letters are since accounted for, wiLh the exception of two letters given by Captain Barber, in charge of 'Captain Pressick, off the Isle of Wight, on Sun- day, wihich were received yesterlay morinig, with the Portsmouth post-office mark upon them. The Cambridge -does not, we understand, bring any later intelligence froin the seat of war in India than lhas been previolusly received by the way of Madrras. 1Froni an Evening Paper.] On Sunday last the ehip Ca'rt6ridge; Captain Barber, from Bom- bay, in the service of the Hon. East India Company, arrived oft' Cowes. In theevening, the Favoritzse pilot-boat. No. 20, of Cowes, calnealongaide, antl received on board Alr. Charles Reynall, punsr, with the Company's des atche's and the Post-office mails, and the following passengers :-mrs. H. Locke, Captain Dackendeld, Cap- tain H. B. WVilliams, from the Cape; Captain Brett, Captain An- tihony, from the Cape; Ar. Dowler; Capain Prissick, from the Care, late of the George tse I Vth.; -iss Asacke. Passengers left on board the Cdml'idme, wbicih arrived at Deal on M onday :-Mrs. Ashburner anid Mrs. AI'Lead, two Misses Elliotts and Alia Paddock; Mrs. Hall, landed at the Cape; Alr.Ashburner, ditto; Alir.

Fowler, two Mastta sAshburnersa, one Miss ditto, blaster M'Leod, AMiss Hall. landed at the Capb; Miss Borrlngton, from the Cape. When the Favourite pilot-boat left the ship it was dark ; and fromn that time no tidings have yet reached Londern of her arrival on any part of our coast. From this the dreadfuil inference is drawn, tbat she has gone down, with all her crew, and the several persons that she took on board from the Cambridge. The Favouzrite was consi- dered an excellent sea-boat, and her Ccmmander ore of the most able and experienced inenl in the service., It is possible thatthe Fa- vourite may have been driven by the gale- to the opposite coast; but experienced officers scarcely indulge that hope, as in the interval fromq Sunday night to the afernoon of Tuesday, the intelligence of her eafety might havereached town, Captain Barber landed at Deal, and having retired to bed on his arrival in London, was ignorant of the circumstance at one o'clock.

Shoal Off Beachy Head.

East Cowes, April 18,1824. Sir,-It may probably be of service to the shipping interest in ge- neral to acquaint you, that the Royal Sovereign shoal off Beacriv- head has grown up very much within these late years; so much so, that it ought to be avoided even by the smallest merchant-vessel, exceCt at tide times. In 1806, when cruising off there in his Mla- jesty s ship Leveret, -I had an opportunity of surveying it, and could not find less than three tathoms on it, with Beachy-head W. by N., and Fairleigh E. by N.: last Friday, the 16th inst, I was returning from Amsterdam in a merchant-ship, drawing 13 feet, with the wind frors the eastward, and the water tolerably smooth, at half-past seven in the evening, going at the rate of 8 knots: to my great sur- prise the shin strucl, on the said shoal, but did not xtop, only whilst grinding over the bank, instead of going 8, she went about 5 knots ; and after going about a cable's length over the bank she was afloat again, witbout any injury. At the same thne an English bark crossed the shoal a little to the eastward of us, but did not observe her strike. It was an hour and a half after lowv water, so that there cannot be more than 10.; feet at low water spring tides, wvith Beachv- head WV. brN. j N., and Fairleigh E. N. E. or E. bY N. j R. The shoal is mucn larger than is generally laid dowr in charts, and I have no doubt that this shoal contains the Horse of Willingdoa and Pemsey shoal._I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHIN BATES iulaster of the Royal Navy, and King's Pilot for the North and Baltic Seas.

The dishonesty of the pre...
The Times, 1824-05-06T00:00:00

The dishonesty of the present Spanish Government, in refusing to pay the dividends on the Bonds, appears to have excited more indignation, or at least to have called forth more lively expressions of it, on the Paris Stock Excnange than on that of London. There was a general cry of "Down with GUEBHARD'S loan!" If GOUnHARD or any other agent expects to make a loan for such a Government as that of Spain, the interest upor which loan shall be se- cure, he greatly mistakes. A bankrupt may obtain fresh credit, if he faithfully makes over whatever effects he may possess to his assignees, and discharges his old debts up to the best of his ability: but one who by falsehood and chicane eludes his responsibility, can never be trusted where he is known, except upon such terms, and with such an acknowledgment of risk on the part of the lender, as would almost justify a second evasion (though the first was un- provoked and dishonourable) on the part of the borrower. Courts of equity, in all nations, at least go so far as to en- force the cessio bonorurn ef the debtor. This is the univer- sal law of Europe. We do not see, therefore, why Cabinets as well as law-courts sbould not conformn to it, and act upon it WYar, certainly, is the ultima ratio regum, and we do not desire our Government to go to war upon this question; but we think it might urge such remonstrances, and take such measures short of hostilities, as would produce a con- siderable effect on the mind of FERDINAND.
