" A lady, a customer of mine, has found great benefit from 

 the use of your Balm. About six months ago her hair nearly 

 all fell off. I recommended her to try your Balm of Columbia, 

 which she did. In the course of a few applications the hair 

 ceased to fall off. Before she had used one 3s. 6d. bottle it began 

 to grow very profusely, and she has now a very beautiful head 

 of hair. '* I am, gentlemeu, yours respectfully,

ROWLAND'S KALYDOR.— This Royally Patronised 

 and universally adopted Specific is a balmy, odoriferous, 

 creamy Liquid, composed chiefly of extracts from the most rare 

 Flowers and Herbs of an Eastern Clime. Its discovery was no less 

 singular (by a Lady of rank), than its effects have been felicitous, 

 during the last thirty years. It is the mildest and most efficacious 

 preparation ever known for dissipating Tan, Pimples, Freckles, 

 Discolorations, and other Disfigurements of the Skin. The radiant 

 bloom it imparts to the Cheek, and the softness and delicacy it in- 

 duces on the Hands, Arms, and I^eck, render it indispensable to 

 every Toilet. 



Gentlemen will find it peculiarly grateful after shaving, in allay- 

 ing irritation of the skin, and in rendering it soft and smooth. 

 Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6rf. per Bottle, duty included, 



CAUTION.— The great demand for this article excites the cu- 

 pidity of unprincipled Shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious 

 trash as the "Gkvuine Kalvdor:" — whereas the genuine article 

 is prepared solely by A. ROWLAND and SON, and the amalgama- 

 tion of its costly exotic materials rendera abortive any attempt to 

 discover its component parts— thus proving the imposition of all 

 other articles bearing the title of "KALl'DOR." The genuine 

 article has the words " ROWLAND'S KALYDOR" on the Wrapper.

The liberation of Mr. O'Connell and his fellow- 

 prisoners has produced an excitement in all parts of 

 Ireland far surpassing the enthusiasm of Tara and Mul- 

 laghmast, or any other of the monster meetings. The 

 news of his release reached Dublin on Thursday night, 

 and spread from one end of the country to the other 

 with inconceivable rapidity. Within a few hours of the 

 arrival of the steamer at Dublin, signal-fires blazed on 

 the mountains of the provinces, and the entire Catholic 

 population gave way to feelings of rejoicing which it 

 would be difficult to desciibe. The long-cherished im- 

 pression that, notwithstanding his late imprisonment, 

 Mr. O'Connell was still invulnerable to the law, has 

 derived a greater impulse from the reversal of his 

 sentence than it had before received from any other cir- 

 cumstance in his history ; and the result was so unex- 

 pected that it was proclaimed by the priests, and by Mr. 

 O'Connell himself, as the work of Providence and not of 

 man. The enthusiasm of the people may be gathered 

 from the accounts which we have given in another page 

 of the procession in honour of the release from prison ; 

 but a more important consideration is the course which 

 Mr. O'Connell intends to pursue with reference to his 

 future plans. At the meeting of the Repeal Association 

 on Monday he entered at great length into this part of 

 the subject, and expressed his readiness to try the expe- 

 riment of a Federal Parliament In the meantime, 

 however, he proposes the formation of a Preservative 

 Assembly of 300 gentlemen, to meet in Dublin, and 

 control the proceedings of the Repeal Association, much 

 in the same way as the House of Lords is considered a 

 check upon the Commons. Each member of the 

 Assembly must prove his title by handing in 100/. — a 

 qualification which Mr. O'Connell considered would so 

 far insure the respectability of the Assembly, that they 

 would be able to treat with Government and stipulate 

 terms. His next step for the attainment of Repeal is to 

 be the impeachment of the Irish Judges and Attorney- 

 General — the latter for the monster indictment, and the 

 former for their conduct during the trials. He also stated 

 his intention to make a tour of the English provinces for 

 the purpose of stating his case and procuring the assist- 

 ance of the English people in effecting the impeachment. 

 — The Queen's visit to Ireland, which was prominently 

 announced a few weeks since by the Ministerial papers, 

 has been indefinitely postponed ; and Her Majesty is 

 now in Scotland, in the midst of those Highland scenes 

 which made her visit last year the most picturesque of 

 Royal progresses. Her Majesty will return to Windsor 

 in about a fortnight in order to receive the King of 

 the French, whose arrival early in October is officially 

 announced. 



The settlement of the Tahiti question is the fa- 

 vourite topic of the Paris papers. The first authentic in- 

 timation of the settlement of the affair was conveyed by 

 the Queen's Speech at the prorogation of Parliament, but 

 the terms on which the arrangement has been made sup- 

 ply an abundant field for speculation. The Ministerial 

 papers state that the English Cabinet have relaxed in 

 their demands, and that consequently there has been no 

 recall, but the expression of simple regret and an indem- 

 nity to Mr. Pritchard. The Opposition papers, on the 

 contrary, contend that even this is too great a concession, 

 and that France has been humbled by acceding to such 

 terms. From Morocco we learn that the Prince de Join- 

 ville on the 23d renewed his attack on Mogadore, in 

 order to silence some guns which had renewed their 

 fire upon his ships. This object was soon accomplished, 

 without loss ; and the town, according to the Prince's 



early part of the year, 7±d. per yard. Strong Sheep-folding rep0 rt, was found entirely deserted, and a scene of hor-
