      NERVOUSNESS , EPILEPSY , MIND and HEAD COMPLAINTS , INDIGESTION . DYSPEPSIA ^ . &c , their Causes and Cure . r-AN ESSAY ; the result of * long and extended practice in ' the treatment of nervous maladies , head affections , indigestion , relaxation , debility , &C and intended as a source , of easy reference for the non ^ professional reader . By A PHYSICIAN . Few diseases aro more prevalent , less understood , and consequently more erroneously treated , than the above , to which thousands of invalids , whose prolonged sufferings have been an enigma to their friends , trace their position } while in most cases t lie immediate cause of those complaints remains unknown to them , and any treatment , in the absence of this knowledge , becomes uncertain , often fruitless . Where ordinary resources prove abortive , the use of the microscope is not unfrequently attended with the happiest results , the longconcealed cause of much misery being thereby brought to light , and a correct and generally successful mode of treatment at once indicated . Tho object of tjils work is to clear up some matters of vital importance that have hitherto remained obscure , and to point out to tho nervous and hvpochondriacal invalid the means by which ho may nrrive at a state of hoalth to which , in all probability , he has Iongf been a stranger . The above will be sent post free on receipt of twelve postago stamps , by Mr . Rcpge , •* , Hand-court , Holborn , London .

      IMPAIRED DIGESTION Is the certain result of imperfect mastication , and the source of an endless train of internal . disorders . Mastication cannot be properly performed with unsound teeth , and hence the importance of their claims on our attention , and the necessity of extreme caution in the choice of a preparation which , while it shall cleanse and whiten the teeth , shall not injure the delicate surface of the enamel , that once destroyed can never be repaired , and is certain to terminate in decay ^ D ' ALTENBURG * S DENTIFRICE is an oriental preparation of great rarity , possessing extraordinary properties in preserving the teeth from decay and fixing them securely in the gums , on which also it exercises a salutary influence in rendering them firm and healthy . Its constant use will entirely prevent toothache , and preserve the teeth sound , White , and highly polished to extreme age ; it speedily removes any discolouration , and renders the breath fragrant and pure . Price Is- -lid . per box ; free by post for 16 stamps . —D'Altentourg and Co ., 38 a , Lamb ' s Couduit-street ,, London .

      ~ The Enam Tenure . — The most important feature an Madras ne-ws is the fact that a commissioner to inquire into the titles of Enamdars has been appointed under Se authority of the late Court of Directors . The gentleman selected bv Government to hold that office . 8 Mr . G N Taylor , and the date of the despatch authorising the inquiry * * 1 st of September . The Madras Athenotum says that the measure is regarded as most imoolitic , and in direct opposition to the assurance contained in that part of the Proclamation which says : — " We know and respect the feelings of attachment with which the nativesi of India regard the lands inherited by them from their ancestors ; and we desire to protect them in all rights connected therewith subject to the equitable demands of the State ; and we will that generally , in framing and administering the law , due regard be paid to the ancient rights , usages , and customs of Enamdars ntfree land

      India . " " The present , or re- - holders , " continues the Athenoeun ^ "have inherited the lands of which they are now possessed ; and they and their ancestors have been in uninterrupted possession of those lands for periods varying from fifty to seventy years . They are now called on to show by what right they hold , their property ; the onus pvohandi is thrown upon them . Of living witnesses to support their claim , there will be few , and , in all probability , of titledeeds there will be fewer still ; so that , if the commission is persevered in , there ; can be very little doubt as to the nature of the final result . The injustice of the measure , to use the mildest word , is shown by the facts that the English law recognises twenty years' possession as giving a title , and ' will presume from such possession a lawful grant . And the English law presumes this for the furtherance of justice and the sake of peace . That there is wisdom in this course is sufficiently proved

      by the rebellion in the Southern Mahratta country , where an Inam commission has been at work . Railways in Egypt . —The railway to Suez being now completed , Egypt possesses the following lines : — From -Alexandria to Cairo , 131 miles ; to Marioutb , 17 ; te Meksj 6 ; to Rassateen , 3 . From Tanta to Samanud there is rail for 21 miles ; from Cairo to Suez , 91 ; to Barragd , 15 ; to Bern Sueft " , 7 G— -in all , 3 G 0 miles . Besides these there are smaller branches , from Cairo to

      the citadel and Kasr Nin ; froni Samanud to Mansoura and Damietta ; from Dimahour to Afte , which last extends to Rosetta . The exact mileage of these minor " hut still important , lines is not yet accurately known . The bridge of Kasr Zayat across the Isile is a splendid work , and must be finished by June , . 1860 . It bids fair to be one of the wonders of the world . " When the railway system is properly developed there will be a saving of 20 , 000 J . per annum in the expense of forwarding the Indian mail .

      Tbade op the Colonies . — A blue book , of 300 pages , was published on Wednesday , which contains a series of statistical tables relating to the colonial and other possessions oif the United Kingdom , forming Part III . of the set , and referring to the year 185 G . An abstract of the movement of shipping and trade in that year shows that the total imports and exports into and from the various colonies were ( in 185 G ) as follows : — Namely , the " East Indies" ( as the official dialect perversely persists in miscalling our great empire in Asia , as if in absurd antithesis to the cluster of islands in the Caribbean Sea ) , India rather let us write ) , imports , 25 , 214 , 782 / .

      Governments are to encourage further contributions . Yet , if we may judge from the state of the sharemarket since New Year ' s-day , it is to be inferred that we have entered upon these investments without any adequate understanding as to the extent to which , in the event of a European rupture , they are to be treated with the consideration bestowed on f other private property . While French , Sardinian , and Austrian Government stocks have . declined 5 per cent , the shares of the railways in Austria , Lombard }' , and Piedmont have sustained a fall of between 15 and 35 per cent . Indeed , in the Lombardo-Venetian the momentary depreciation has been much heavier , and this instance affords the best exemplification of the nature of the fears on the question . The 20 / . shares of that concern , on which 6 L is paid , stood at nearly 9 i a few days before the opening of the new year . They have since touched 5 / ., thus showing a depreciation of nearly 50 per cent . The net profits are at present at the rate of about 12 per cent- per annum , and there are solid data to warrant an expectation that under normal circumstances they will not merely be maintained , but exceeded . Yet the . mere rumour of war has produced an effect as if half the property had at once been irretrievably swept away . Are we to assume , therefore , that a railway in any country which may be the scene of hostilities is necssarily to be considered ^ a ruined enterprise , and that it must be expected either to remain shut up for years , or to be exposed tq wanton destruction ? Supposing views of this kind . to' beseriously entertained ,-they must apply to every continental line almost indiscriminately , since the point at which a war commences is frequently that which suffers the least from its ultimate ravages . — Times . Mi : ditteuran-ean Telegraph . —The cable has been laid to Constantinople and the Dardanelles . Theoperations for its prolongation to Caridia and Egypt will be recommenced next spring . Another submarine telegraph will be laid between Constantinople and Scutari , which will be the head of the line to Bagdad . The Greek Chambers have voted GOO . OOO drachmas to connect Syra with the above telegraph communication . IJnifokm Weight for Corn .- —The movement in favour of selling and buying ( wholesale ) all grain , flour , and meal by a uniform quantity of 1001 b . appears to be extending . At a meeting of the Glasgow Com ' Trade Association on Monday last , Mr . Ure moved a resolution , which was to the effect "that the resolution " adopted here , at a meeting of the trade , on the 22 nd of October last , in favour of selling all grain , flour , and meal by a uniform quantity of lOOlb . be now carried into effect , and that the same come into operation on the 1 st of February next . " This was seconded , and , after some discussion , it was carried unanimously . Testimonial to Mr . Bazley , M . P . —A meeting , principally composed of members of the late Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures , was held yesterday afternoon , in the Mayor ' s parlour , Town Hall , Manchester , for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to Thomas Bazley , Esq ., M . P . The testimonial consists of a silver candelabrum , or epergno , of the value of four hundred guineas , and bearing the inscription—* ' Presented by the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures , at Manchester , to Thomas Bazley , Esq ., who held the office of President during a period of fourteen years . " Ivie Mackie , Esq ., mayor , presided ; and the presentation was made by Mr . H . Ashworth , who was for many years Vice-President of the Chamber . Mr . Bazley responded , briefly indicating tho part the Chamber had taken , from its formation , in tho great efforts to promote freedom of commerce ; John Cheotham , Esq ., M .
