The only genuine "Macassar Oil," "Kalydor," and "Odonto," are "ROWLANDS';" and the wrapper of each bears the name of "ROWLANDS" preceding that of the article, with their signature at the foot, in red ink, thus-" A. ROWLAND & SON." Sold by them, and by all Chemists and Perfumers.

WORTHY OF PUBLIC ATTENTION!!!

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. 1 d., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each. Wholesale Depot, 5, Swallow Place, Regent Street. Be particular in asking for CHAPMAN'S UNIVERSAL PILLS.

STOCKINGS are now daily patronized by the leading members of the profession; their superiority over every other manufactured fabric, for artificial 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 established 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.

BOOTS FOR INDIA.

J TROY (late of STUNT'S), ANATOMICAL BOOT

MAKER, No. 376, Strand, London, begs to acquaint officers and gentlemen 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 anato mical 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.

Prices.-Wellington Boots, of the prepared leather for India, 30s. per pair; ordinary, 28s.; Shooting Shoes to buckle, 18s. to 20s. per pair.

TO FLAUTISTS.

THOMAS PROWSE 13 HANWAY STREET,

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. RICHARDSON and THOS. PROWSE.

All orders must be accompanied with a remittance, or by an order through their agent in London.

AND NAVY.

J. KOHLER'S NEW PATENT LEVER INSTRUMENTS.

J. KOHLER having brought to perfection and obtained

her Majesty's Letters Patent for the above invention, which he has 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 performer.

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. Testimonials, drawings, and prices, forwarded on application at J. KOHLER'S Manufactory, 35, Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London.

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.

IN manufacturing the choicest materials, and employ no other than

GUNS, GEORGE and JOHN

the most experienced hands. G. and J. DEANE'S ambition has ever been to produce the very best Gun that a sportsman could carry into the field; and, among other príncipal requisites, they have always been determined that its shooting qualities should be decidedly and unquestionably pre-eminent. With regard to the workmanship, G. and J. DEANE only wish that what they turn out of their factory should be placed side by side with any other Guns purchased at whatever cost, or manufactured by any maker, however distinguished; G. and J. DEANE would have no fear as to what the decision of impartial and competent judges would be. G. and J. DEANE have now finished a very extensive stock of every bend, length, and calibre, all of first-rate quality. From these, gentlemen may, without delay, fit themselves, and try the shooting before they buy. Pairs of Guns made to order on the shortest notice. Repairs of all kinds with the utmost despatch.

Percussion-caps, wadding, powder, and shot, of the most superior qualities: in all which articles sportsmen may effect a considerable saving, by transmitting their orders, accompanied by a remittance or town reference, to G. and J. DEANE, Gun Makers, 30, King William Street, London Bridge.

This work has been undertaken in order to meet the exigency of our dayviz. a copious and portable Hindustani Dictionary at a moderate cost. It has been the compiler's aim to accomplish this object, not by the omission or abridgment of any words and phrases, but by the adoption of a small, distinct, and economical type, whereby he is enabled to lay before the public, in one volume royal octavo, of about 1,000 pages, the most complete Hindustani Dictionary yet offered for sale. The first part-Hindustani and English-contains more words (by some thousands) than have ever been previously collected in one work by former compilers. The second part-English and Hindustani -is also by far the most copious of the kind that has yet appeared. The author having devoted the greater portion of his life to the study of the Oriental languages, and upwards of twenty years to instructing others therein, has had every advantage in the compilation of this laborious book, which he trusts will not be deemed unworthy of extensive patronage.

S. W. SILVER and CO. CLOTHIERS, NAVAL,

MILITARY, and GENERAL OUTFITTERS and CONTRACTORS, respectfully acquaint the public, that they have completed the alterations at their warehouses, 66 and 67, CORNHILL, which enables them to concentrate and exhibit all the requirements of an OUTFIT. Being the manufacturers (with experienced managers) of the chief and most expensive portions of OUTFITS, they are enabled to produce and render them at WHOLESALE PRICES; thus preventing MILITARY and NAVAL OFFICERS, CADETS, and PASSENGERS generally sacrificing the usual intermediate profit. LADIES' OUTFITS (which are under the management of Females) on similar terms.

SILVER and Co. having a correspondent in nearly every ENGLISH COLONY, their customers may at all times avail themselves of their assistance. SILVER and Co. pack and ship their customers' outfits, clear and warehouse their baggage homewards, procure and give SHIP-SAILING Information, outwards or homewards, without receiving a commission for such business, Moreover, they do not allow the too usual commission to persons who introduce customers to them, that purchasers may derive every advantage. For example, individuals who are about to leave for India are generally inundated with applications and lists from Outfitters, who obtain the name and address of the party going abroad from persons to whom they pay (if they supply the Outfit) so large a commission for the information, as to materially increase the amount of the Outfit. Now, SILVER and Co. never forward a list of necessaries to any one, unless directed to do so by the party (or friend) going abroad. Thus SILVER and Co.'s prices are not burthened with commission, because all recommendations to apply to them are pure and disinterested.

The OUTFITTING WHOLESALE and RETAIL CLOTHING DEPARTMENTS, &c., are at 66 and 67, CORNHILL, and at LIVERPOOL. The SHIRT DEPARMENT for home use is at No. 10, CORNHILL. The WORKSHOPS for Clothing, at 41, Bishopsgate-street Within; for SHIRTS and CABIN FURNITURE, at 33 and 34, Nassau-place, Commercial-road; and for SHIRTS, STAYS, BRACES, &c., at LANDPORT, near PORTSMOUTH.
