LITERARY NOTICES. ADVERTISEMENTS. December, 1816. Calcutta: The Calcutta Review. No. XII. East-India House, 15th March, 1847. COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST-INDIA the said Company, chap. 7, sec. 6, That the following Proprietors of East-India Stock, qualified agreeable to law, have signified in writing to the Secretary their desire of becoming Candidates at the ensuing Election of Six Directors, on Wednesday, the 14th April next, viz.William Butterworth Bayley, Esq. Russell Ellice, Esq. THIS number of the Calcutta Review fully sustains its charac-THE CANY do hereby give notice, in conformity with the By-Law of ter. It contains articles on subjects of great importance to India, and some of a purely literary character, which will be interesting to students of the belles lettres everywhere. It has somewhat less of lighter matter than some former numbers, but no management can insure in every portion of a periodical a precise balance of the lively and the severe. The article on the poetry of Collins is a very graceful one, and agreeably relieves that monotony which the general reader might, perhaps, find in a publication of considerable bulk, exclusively devoted to one class of subject. Tail's Edinburgh Magazine, No. CLIX. March, 1847. Edinburgh. Sutherland and Knox. An unusually good number of this popular periodical Mr. De Quincey contributes an amusing article on "Orthographic Mutineers." To spell as his fancy dictates is one of the most valuable and undoubted privileges of man; and any one who seeks to reduce that portion of learning to rules, and to enforce attention to them, can be no true friend of liberty. Rules for spelling, i'faith, as though he who has been at the trouble of ma ing an idea should not be at liberty to clothe it in what manner best pleased himself! We consider all attempts to reduce spelling to rules as an unjustifiable attack on the rights of man. Our space will not admit of a detailed account of the present number of Tait, but we may observe that it contains several articles of considerable interest, and is well garnished with poetry of no mean order. Second Letter to the Right Hon. the Earl Grey, Secretary of State for the Colonies, on the Extension of Steam-Navigation from Singapore to Port Jackson, Australia. By Lieut. WAGHORS, R. N., F. R. S., &c. London, 1817. Smith, Elder, and Co. In this pamphlet, Mr. Waghorn, who should be called "the indefatigable," again assails Lord Grey on the importance of establishing a regular steam-communication between Great Britain and its Australian possessions. He suspects that he may be reminded that part, at least, of what he now says he has said before; but he says some things which he has not said before, and which are very necessary to be said at this time. The desirableness of getting a supply of food, even from the antipodes, to meet the want felt nearer home, is dwelt upon in Mr. Waghorn's characteristic manner, and we trust his representations may be successful. MUSIC. Handel's Sacred Oratorio the Messiah, in Vocal Score, with a separate Accompaniment for the Organ or Pianoforte, arranged by VINCENT NOVELLO. London, 1847. J. A. Novello. Nos. 7 and 8. We have great pleasure in again noticing this excellent work, as the present number fully sustains the very favourable opinion that we have on several occasions felt bound to express. In a few months Mr. Novello will have the proud satisfaction of having produced an edition of this Oratorio unrivalled in the history of musical publications. Haydn's Oratorio the Creation, in Vocal Score, with a separate 4 and 5.

The numerous varieties of cutaneous eruptions, together with sun-burn, freckles, tan, and discolorations, are pleasingly eradicated by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately soft and clear. Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by her Majesty the Queen, the COURT and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several COURTS of Europe; together with the éilte of the aristocracy and haute volée, from the sultry climes of India and the drawing-rooms of Calcutta and Madras to the frozen realms of the Czar and the saloons of St. Petersburg and Moscow.

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.-The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, improving, and beautifying the Human Hair, are too well known and appreciated to need comment." The very fact of its having stood the test of nearly half a century of probation, nd obtained the especial patronage of her Majesty the Queen, H.R.H. Prince bert, the whole of the Royal Family, and of every Court in the civilized world, and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest of its merits.-Price 3s. 6d.; 7s.; family bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d., and double that size, 21s. per bottle. ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE, a white Powder for the Teeth, compounded of the choicest and most recherché ingredients of the Oriental Herbal, of inestimable virtue for preserving and beautifying the Teeth and strengthening the Gums.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.-Unprincipled individuals, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious compounds under the names of Macassar Oil," "Kalydor," and "Odonto;" some under the implied sanction of Royalty and the Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception, while they copy the labels, advertisements, and testimonials (substituting fictitious names and addresses for the real) of the original preparations. It is therefore highly necessary to see that the word "ROWLAND'S" is on the wrapper of each article.-All others are FRAUDULENT IMITATIONS!! The genuine articles are sold by the Proprietors, and by every respectable Perfumer and Chemist throughout the kingdom. H. and G.

Thus relieving gentlemen who do pay from being taxed for those who do not pay.

Ross and SONS can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their establishment; and ladies or gentlemen requiring it, are requested to bring a friend or servant with them, to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards, without the chance of failure. Several private apartments, devoted entirely to the above purpose, and some of their establishment having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen. They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, numerous persons have succeeded equally well without coming to them.- Address, Ross and SONS, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate Street, London, the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfumers, Hair-cutters, and Hair-dyers.

CURE of a DREADFUL CASE of ERYSIPELAS by HOLLOWAY'S PILLS and OINTMENT.-Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli Place, Cheltenham, was for two years so dreadfully afflicted with erysipelas, that she became (however extraordinary it may appear) both blind and deaf from the severity of the d sease. During the time she was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in Cheltenham, but without receiving any benefit whatever, and as a last resource she tried Holloway's Pilis and Ointment, which, in two months, perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and restored her to health. This remarkable cure can be authenticated in every particular at the Bookseller's, No. 10, Arcade, High Street, Cheltenham.
