THE HE ATLAS FOR INDIA.-The object of this publication, which is issued on the 7th and 24th of every month, is to give, in a condensed form, the news of the preceding fortnight, up to the hour of the mail's departure, collected and arranged with especial reference to the requirements of the Indian public. Whilst matter not affecting the interests of, or calculated in any manner to entertain the Indian reader, is scrupulously excluded, the utmost pains are taken to obtain from every possible sourceoften from original and exclusive sources-information of peculiar interest to residents in the Indian presidencies, Ceylon, China, and the Straits. The better to secure the accomplishment of this desirable end, and to render the publication in every respect what it professes to be, an ATLAS FOR INDIA, the management has been placed in the hands of a gentleman recently editor of one of the leading daily journals of Calcutta. The ATLAS FOR INDIA is not a mere reproduction of the principal contents of the weekly paper, but is in a great measure written expressly for Indian circulation. It contains a compendious narrative of the principal domestic and foreign events of the fortnight; military and commercial intelligence; literary and social chit-chat; items of personal news, &c. &c. Every number embraces a general summary of the news of the past fortnight, written expressly for this journal, regard being had to the relative importance and interest of the different events touched upon, in the eyes of the AngloIndian reader. It is the endeavour of the conductor of the ATLAS FOR INDIA, not only to give a condensed historical narrative of political events, but to catch the tone and temper of the times, and embody in the pages of this journal all that lighter fabric of social and literary intelligence, past, present, and prospective, which, in this age of progress, is so abundant in every great European metropolis.

HAPMAN'S UNIVERSAL PILLS, a combination of in such due and just proportions, as to form at length an article which, they confidently venture to affirm, will be found superior to any thing of the kind hitherto made known; they contain not a particle of Mercury, or any other pernicious ingredients, but act almost imperceptibly, but none the less surely, as a gentle purifier of the blood and invigorator of the system. Their private use has been for many years co-extensive with that of the Universal Salve, to which they will be found most valuable agents. The Proprietors might say much in their favour, and would enlarge upon their merits, were they not anxious that they should stand upon their own, and not have the appearance of being (as is too commonly the case) puffed into notice. They will, therefore, content themselves by saying that, in all cases of Bilious Attacks, Indigestion, Constipation of the Bowels, Sick Head-ache, frequent Nausea, Chronic Rheumatism, Lumbago, violent Cold or Cough, Jaundice, and in short all Internal Diseases, their aid will be found to be invaluable. Sold in boxes, Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d, each. Wholesale Depot, 5, Swallow Place, Regent Street. Be partícular in asking for CHAPMAN'S UNIVERSAL PILLS. A NOTHER EXTRAORDINARY CURE of ASTHMA by HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-Patrick Casey, residing at No. 1, Compton-place, Brunswick-square, had suffered from a Chronic Asthma for more than three years. This poor man was so great a sufferer, that he did not dare to go to bed for fear of the phlegm choking him; indeed, he could not even lay his head upon a table for half an hour lest he should be suffocated. Nevertheless this person is now labouring from morning to night, sleeps as well as ever he did in his life, and, in fact, is completely cured by the use of Holloway's pills. Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. HOMPSON'S IRON and BRASS BEDSTEAD and Established 40 years.

BOOT TROY (late of STUNT'S), ANATOMICAL BOOT tlemen in India, that he has discovered a new process in the preparation of leather for Boots and Shoes, which renders it soft and pliable as kid, and as durable as calf; it is not affected by any degree of heat, will take a brilliant polish by the common method of cleaning, and is free from that disagreeable creaking noise so often complained of. T. TROY also begs to call attention to the fact, that bad fitting boots, however large, are not easy, but cause corns and swellings in the joints, which are very difficult to be got rid of. He respectfully states that his anatomical knowledge of the foot enables him to combine ease with neatness, and that he only requires the measure and description of the foot to insure a natural-fitting and gentlemanly-looking boot. His prices are moderate, and his goods of the finest quality. DIRECTIONS FOR MEASURING. 1. The number of inches round the ball or joints of the foot. 2. The number of inches round the instep. 3. The number of inches round the heel to the upper part of instep. 4. The length of foot when sitting. 5. The length of foot when standing. 6. Round the calf. If there be any peculiarity about the foot, lay it on a sheet of paper and mark round it with a pencil, giving thereby its exact form; or, if an old boot can be forwarded, nothing more will be required to insure a good fit.

To young persons especially it is highly beneficial, immediately producing an evident improvement in the figure, and tending greatly to prevent the incursion of pulmonary diseases; whilst to the invalid, and those much engaged in sedentary pusuits, such as reading or studying, working, drawing or music, it is found to be invaluable, as it expands the chest and affords a great support to the back. It is made in Silk; and can be forwarded, per post, by Mr. ALFRED BINYON, Sole Manufacturer and Proprietor, No. 40, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, Lon. don; or full particulars, with prices and mode of measurement, &c. on receipt of a postage stamp. VARICOSE VEINS, WEAKNESS, FRACTURES, SPRAINS, &c. HUXLEY'S SURGICAL CAOUTCHOUC ELASTIC STOCKINGS are now daily patronized by the leading members of the profession; their superiority over every other manufactured fabric, for artifi cial support, is admitted by all who inspect them; they afford an equal, comforting, and permanent pressure, on every portion of the limb, avoiding the excessive trouble of lacing; they are drawn on with the facility of an ordinary stocking, adding little or no size to the leg. The success that has attended every case submitted to them, through the profession or otherwise, has esta blished the confidence of all the first practitioners. H. and Co. are therefore enabled to guarantee a comfort and support hitherto unknown in any other form of bandaging. It is remarkable that every kind of surgical stockings lately used have a tendency to impede the free and healthy action of the muscles, thereby producing relaxation and great diminution of the limb.

THE late WILLIAM COBBETT, M.P., in his REGISTER for June, 1832, there depicted the sufferings he had endured for 22 years from the want of a perfect Truss; and, having obtained one from Mr. COLES, was instrumental in inducing thousands of persons of rank and fortune to apply to him for relief, whose patent has baffled every attempt to improve them for 27 years past. "COLES'S PATENT, 3, CHARING CROSS," is marked upon all Trusses. COLONEL FRANCKLIN informs those who have ruptures that he has been wearing Trusses 30 years, and he never met with but one individual who was master of the complaint. He has likewise an elder brother, a Colonel in the Hon. East-India Company's service, who has worn a similar kind of Truss for many years, who can say the same. Mr. COLES, of Charing Cross, is the individual alluded to.-Blackheath Vale, July 16, 1832. **The Colonel was likewise cured of rheumatism by Mr. COLES'S Medicated Galvanic Bands, and gave him an excellent testimonial to that effect.

BRATED CHARLES NICHOLSON'S FLUTES), takes this opportunity to inform the Musical Public in India and the Colonies that he now also manufactures Flutes on the principle of the talented Flautist, JOSH, RICHARDSON; therefore all future orders should state whether a "NICHOLSON" or "RICHARDSON" Flute is required. These instruments possess a remarkable brilliancy of tone, and are perfect in intonation and tune in every key; the superiority of style in the finishing department leaves nothing to be wished for by the connoisseur, and the plan adopted only by T. P. of seasoning the wood for extreme climates renders these instruments far superior to any others now manufactured. The prices are the same as for the "Nicholson's" Flutes, and vary, according to their number of keys, from 11 guineas to 30 guineas; and purchasers, to prevent their being imposed upon, will receive a certificate, signed by the approver and maker, thus-JosH.

Teenfucts of treat number of spurious Drums, containing infringement of the subscriber's patent, have been supplied to orders intended for the Patent Drums, Officers who are desirous of obtaining THE PATENT DRUMS are respectfully solicited to write, or to instruct their agents to apply, direct to the Inventor and Patentee, CORNELIUS WARD, Musical Instrument Maker, 36, Great Titchfield Street; or to Mr. KÖHLER, Musical Instrument Maker, 35, Henrietta Street, London. The patent construction of Drums is allowed to have perfected these instruments as to tone, timing, uniform simultaneous bracing, and stability. The Patent Drums are adopted in her Majesty's private band, by the Lord Chamberlain's Office, in the Royal Household Troops (including the Silver Drums), by many Regiments of Cavalry, Infantry, and Yeomanry, by the Philharmonic Society, her Majesty's Theatre, M. Jullien's, and the principal Orchestras in the kingdom. The important nature of the patent improvements in Drums has induced attempts to vend pretended improvements in Kettle Drums: the Patent Drums are braced and turned from one point, and experience has shewn that simultaneous and uniform tension cannot be obtained in Drum-heads by means of more than one screw. AN INJUNCTION was granted on the 15th November, 1843, by the Vice-Chancellor, to restrain Mr. THOMAS KEY, 20, Charing Cross, London, from making, using, selling, or exporting for sale, any Drums to which the patent improvements of CORNELIUS WARD, of Great Titchfield Street, London, are applied. All persons are therefore cautioned against selling, purchasing, or using Drums which contain any of the patent improvements, or in any manner infringe the patent granted for improvements in the manufacture of Drums, to C. WARD, 36, Great Titchfield Street, London, TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY, AND THE BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY. J. J. KOHLER'S NEW PATENT LEVER INSTRUMENTS. KOHLER having brought to perfection and obtained applied to the CORNOPEAN, TRUMPET-CORNETTO, TROMBONES, and FRENCH HORNS, he can now with great confidence, after an experience of five years in bringing the action to its present state of perfection, recommend them to her Majesty's Army and Navy, and all professors and amateurs. The advantages that this patent gives to these instruments are, 1. All the tones and semitones produced by the Patent Lever are quite as perfect as the natural notes on the instrument. 2. The intervals in the Diatonic and Chromatic Scales are perfect, the compass greater, and the most rapid and difficult passages may be performed with a precision, freedom, and fulness of tone, and comparative ease to the per former. 3. Combinations in harmony, which never before could be performed at all by any brass instruments, may now be executed with perfect ease, and ten or twelve instruments on this principle can produce a more rich and sonorous effect than twenty-four could do on the old principles. The harshness of tone in the former brass instruments is entirely done away with, and a set of these instruments, heard together, produces military and harmonious effects never before heard, These instruments are now in use in her Majesty's Private Band, First Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards, Grenadier Guards, Fusilier Guards, Royal Artillery, 60th Royal Rifles, &c.
