ASAM AND ''ASAM TEA." IMPORTANT QUESTIONS SATISFACTORILY ANSWERED. WHAT IS ASAM? A SAM is a province in Asia, situated west of Bengal. It is a Colony which, since its possession, has been dis- X-L tinguished hy steady advance towards important improvements. Of late years. AS AM has become the subject of universal interest, on account of a peculiar species of Tea, which is "part and parcel" of the rich soil of this protiuce. WHAT IS ASAM TEA? ASAM TEA (let it be clearly understood) is a distinct genera of Tea, having no connexion whatever with that of China. Its taste—its self-peculiar piquancy of flavour, surpasses any thing that can be conceived by those who have not tasted its delectable qualities. The instant the Tea is tasted, the drinker acquires a relish for its invigo- rating, refreshing, and in every respect, healthful decoction. Its strength in consumption is two to oue of the Chinese leaf, so that luxury and economy are happily combined in the use of this unequalled species of Tea. WHO ARE THE CULTIVATORS OF ASAM TEA? The ASAM TKA COMPANV," to whose anjtlous and enterprisiug exertions we are indebted for this new feature in domestic luxury. The Establishments and Agencies of the AsAm TEA COMPANY" have created, and are creating, considerable sensation in the various Towns of England, and the daily increasing consumption of this leaf is a proof positive that the public know how to value this choice vegetable boon.

AN Additional and Important Evidence of the Salutary Effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, from Mr. Samuel Dixon, of Kitigscliffe, Northampton- shire. Kingscliffe, Northamptonshire, March 14, 1846. "To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London. "Sir,-I feel it a duty which I owe to yourself and the public to inform you of the great benefit which 1 have derived by taking Blair's Gout and lilieumatic Pills, During several years I was frequently laid up by attacks of gout, being unable to attend to business for months at a time. I had often been advised to try Blaii's fills, but it was not until a friend pressed them upon me that I was induced to take them, and from which I found speedy lelief. This is several years ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack comes on, and am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business. "1 am, Sir, your obedient Servant, "SAMUKL DIXOII." The, above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, uone have contributed so much to the comfort aud e*se of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffeiing humanity, as th.! important discovery of BLAlil'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PI L LS, the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recommendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effective for gout and iheumatism in all its vaiious forms, including sciatica, lum- bago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth- ache, &c. They requir« neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

The Truth of this Statement was duly attested before a Magistrate. T HUGH MACDONALD, of Lot 55, in Kind's J_y Couu'y, do hereby declare, that a most wonder- fui preservation of my life has been effected by the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointmeut; and 1 furthermore declare, that I was very much afflicted with Ulcerous Sores in my tace and Leg so severe was my complaint, that the greater part of my nose and the roof of my mouth was eaten awav, and my li-g had three large ulcers on it. and that I applied to several Medical gentlemen, who prescribed for me, but i found no relief. My streogth was rapidly failing every day and the malady on the increase when I was induced to try Holloway's Medicines. After taking two or three bones, I experiencea so much relief, and found the progress of the disease was so luucn arrested, that I was enabled to resume my ordinary labours in the field. The sores which were so disagreeable and repulsive to behold are now nearly all healed. Having received such truly beneficial aid, I feel myself bound to express my gratitude to the person by whose means 1 have thus been restored from the pitiable and miserable state I was iu aud for the sake of humanity make known my case, that others similarly situated might be relieved.

The above case of Hu{;hMacdonatd,"f Lot 55, came per- sonally uudi-r my obseri ation and when lie first applied to nie 10 gel some of the Medicines, I t .ought his case utterly hopeless, and told bun that his malady had got such hold that it was only throwing his money away to use them. He, however, persisted in trying them, anJ to mv astonishment, I find ",Ii,H lie has aforesaid stated to be perfectly correct, and cousider the case to be a most wonderful cure.

BETTS & Co. also avail themselves of the present most seasonable opportunity to direct public attention to the peculiar salutary properties of the Selters Waters, respecting which many eminent Physicians have expressed the most favourable opinions deserving of serious and atten'ive consi- deration. The learned Monsieur Caventou, of Paris, makes some observations replete with interest and truth. We know of no Mineral Waier suited to such variety oj constitu- tions. It exercises an especial action on the biliary system, frequently and promptly checking the. worst systems, whether couuected with vomiting or diarrhoea." He concludes by re- commending Sellers Water as one of the most saluUriotis drinks for warm climates, and ranges it in the first rank of antiscorbutics and preventions of dysentery. Whilst M. Augustus Wetter, Physician of Berlin, the latest and most celebrated writer on Mineral Springs, states, "Selters Water is highly beneficial in cases of gastric irritation, bilious vomit- ing or diarrhoea, and ought to be administered in sinall but frequently repeated doses. In cases of dyspepsia, either from iflitalion or weak stomach, the continued use of Selters Water is highly advantageous." Messrs. Betts .V Co. cannot too strongly caution the public against the evils of artificial gaseous wmcrs generally, since the learned Monsieur Caventon informs us that they fre- quently produce so much inconvenience and danger as to cause its use to be replaced by that of the natural, the latter acting as a very antidote to the former." Numerous attempts having been made to impose upon the Public by some manufacturers of aniticial waters and other mixtures, hy advertising that they enjoy the privilege of re- ceiving supplies of the natural Selters Water direct from the springs. Messrs. Betts & Co. beg to state that they have the exclusive right of procuring the same direct from the Springs, and, as evidence thereof, they publish >he following Declara- tion of the Nassau Government, founded upon its soleoiu con- tract with Mr. J. T. Betts.

dFomjgn JIntrUígcncc. -1'" FRANCE.—The Paris papers of Saturday are chiefly occupied with the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies of the previous day. In the course of a debate upon the e', yalillity fJf M. Dessaigne's election for Vendome, a declara- tion was made by the gentleman whose return was disputed, that he would commence proceedings against certain petitioners, whose allegations he described as unfounded calumnies. On this the members of the opposition cried out that such conduct would, if sanctioned, put an end to the right of petition and inquiry; for that no elector would petition it deprived of the protection ol the chamber. The practice of the English courts was cited in proof that tlie House of Commons could not protect Irotn action for libel, and this opiniou seemed to he accepted hv the ma- jority of ihe chamber, alter most strenuons protests from Odillon, Barrot, Billault, Duvergier, De Haurauue, &c. The mooting of this question caused much lively sens itiou both its the chamber and in the journals, the opposition pretending that corruption will henceforward be allowed full play. But the answer given is very plain and simple, that those who have well-founded statements to produce need be under no apprehension; but that the chamber will not interfere in favour of persons who, to avenve their disappointment, get up false and lying reports calculated to injure their political opponents, but which have no ground in fact aud truth. SPAIN We have received the Madrid journals of the 23rd. The Heraldo, which passes for a demi-oiticial organ, alluding to the arrangement by which the Queen aud her sister should be married to Don Francis d'Assises and his brother, expresses itself thus:—"We have long declared that we considered it highly desirable to effect the marriage of the Queen as soon as possible, and no spirit of party shall ever cause us to raise any obstacle to so happy an event. We have no objection to make to the proposed arrangement; we have demanded for Isabella II. a prince of liberal ideas, and a Spaniard; Dou Francis d'Assises is both. As to the union of the Infanta Louisa Charlotte we see nothing against it, and we only wait for the decision of our Sovereign to conform to it with respect." The Militar Espanol, which had hitherto guarded a strict silence on the question, so long discussed by the daily press, of the expedition of General Flores for the republic of the Equador, now denies positively that the expedition is protected by the Government, or that the Ministry had taken measures to remove any obstacles that might have stood in the way. We have also accounts from Madrid to the 24th. The Heraldo gives colouring to the story of an intention to get up an Esparterist movement at Saragosaa, where an old aide-de-camp of Espartero was arrested on the 21st, his conduct having excited suspicion. The papers contain intelligence from Lisbon to the 19th. The Channel fleet had sailed from that port on the 18th, leav- ing two vessels behind, one of 120 guns, and the other of Z, SU, the names of which, however, are not stated. The squadron was to cruise outside the port for some days. It was rumoured that a French fleet was shortly to arrive at Lisbon. Polilicul matters are represented as continuing in a very unsettled state. M. Gonzales Brabo was to take his departure for Spain on the 20th, having amicably set- tleti the differences between the two courts. TURKEY.—CONSTANTINOPLE, AucusT 12.-Disturb- ances of an alarming nature having broken out at Hadjara, in Lazistan, under the influence of the famous Kurdish chief, Kinr Hussein, the few troops that were collected at Trebisonde were sent to the spot to quell them, and an addition of 1500 men has been expedited from Constantino- ple, to make assurance doubly sure, so that those disorders cannot well take root or spread in that direction. It is stated that another insurrection had taken place at Livada, and that it was deemed necessary to forward thither a couple of thousand troops from Erzeroom. It is further added, that things are by no means quiet on the Persian frontier, the Persians having fortified certain points there. The celebrated Kurde Mahinoud Khan took offeDce at the act, and a short time back a battle was fought between them, the result of which is spoken of as being anything but decisive. It is greatly feared that the late dispute at Eizeroom will but aggravate the existing feeling of hos- tility on the confines, and lead to fresh conflicts. The Persian plenipotentiary was at one time on the point of quitting the country in terror or dudgeon, but was pre- vailed on to remain by the foreign commissioners, and now awaits orders from his government.-As an echo to the late visit of Admiral Parker, we have now here the French Rear-Admiral Turpin, who arrived on the 9th instant, in; the Cassini steamer, with a most numerous staff, now cut- ting a most splendid figure, in this city. The Triton ship of the line is wind-hound at Tenedos. In consequence of this movement we shall probably not have the pleasure of seeing here the Due de Joinville, who at one period it was said would come. Admiral Turpin is receiving all due attentions, and to-morrow M. de Bourqueney gives him a grand dinner, to which all the Turkish ministers and graudees are invited.—The Capudan Pacha is now pre- paring to quit the Bosphorus with the Ottoman fleet, which is to be exercised in the Archipelago. This cruise has been deferred till very late in the season, and the ships ought to have gone out a couple of months ago. The sailors will hardly get over their sea-sickness before it will be time to return, and lie up for the winter.—The Viceroy of Egypt continues to receive the most delicate attentions from the Imperial family and ministers. To-day he ac- companies his Highness the Sultan to the Medical School at Galata Serai; and every evening he gets a splendid entertainment either at one of the palacl's or elsewhere. He appears now to be impatient to be off, and it is said that he will probably start on the loth.—M. Titoff, the Russian minister, did not accompany his lady to Italy, but left this place on Sunday last direct for Odessa and St. Petersburgh. The Sultan sent him a decoration his portrait, set in brilliants, and a most magnificent diamond snuff-box. The employes of the Russian mission were also richly decorated iu consequence of the conclusion of the commercial treaty between Russia and the Porte.-It is now rumoured that the attempt made to destroy the Prince ol Samos by an "internal machine" was connected with a new insurrection, just got up in that island, and that ships ot war and troops are about to be sent in that direction, to secure order and tranquillity. la the ineiintime,Consian- tiue H amatiadhes, the conspirator, is now in safe custody, and we shall see if he will be punished for his repeated crimes. Strong efforts will probably be made to save him, as the public sympathy appears to be quife in his favour, just as if every Greek had a right to rebel against the Sultan, ami throw the whole country into a state of confusion. People, in general, boldly say it was unjust in the Prince ol Samos to pursue him even whilst he was confusion. People, in general, boldly say it was unjust in the Prince of Samos to pursue him even whilst he was hard at work to get up a revolution in Samos, for the bene6t of the Philorthodox Society, once so important and now so insignificant in wretched aud exhausted Greece.— The once celebrated British merchant, Mr. T.N. Black, who at first made an agreement with his creditors to pay them 45 per cent., has availed himself of favourable cir- cumstances in the settlement of his outstandings, and has already paid them 80 per cent., whilst he has nobly de- clared that a" soon as possible he will clear oft the re- mainder It is gratifying to an Englishman to record y such au instance of voluntary rectitude in one of his countrymen, and it is hoped Mr. Black will still live to enjoy the wealth antl comfort he merits,- We have had a dreadfully hot summer this year. The heat has been quite tropical, but the public health appears to be excellent. All kinds of fruit are in the greatest abundance, and su- perior to anything ever seen in this part of the world. The crops in general have also been admirable in all directions. TH li UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.-The steam ship Hibernia arrived at Liverpool Friday, after another oi the very rapid passages usually made by these vessels—11 days, 12 hours, including her running into Halifax to land and take in her mails and passengers. The Caledonia, which left Liverpool on the 4th of August, arrived at Halifax in 11 days. She brings about 70 passengers and news 15 days later than has previously reached this country. The advices brought by this ar- rival are of an important character, and disclose the gra- tifying fact that the American Cabinet bad offered nego- ciatious to Mexico for the restoration of peace and the settlement of all questions at issue between the two coun- tries. In announcing this intelligence to Congress, the President solicited au appropriation of 2,000,000 dollars, to be used at his discretion in aiding the negociation. The application, however, failed. A New York paper, in relating the offer of negociation, says—" It is a gratifying fact that the American Executive have offered to negociate with the Government of Mexico for a treaty uf peace. We are heartily rejoiced at the prospect thus held out, that the expensive aud ingloriouli war in which we are now engaged will be brought to a speedy and an honoura- ble close. We have no fault to find with the action of the President, so as far as it appears from the documents re- ferred to. He has taken, so far as we can judge, the proper steps to effect the object desired, and has certainly acted wisely in refusing an armistice during the progress of the Degociations that are sought to be commenced. As to the reception of the offer, on the part of Mexico, there is certainly room for doubt. Thus far in the war she has suffered only defeat and disaster. Her forces are now but just marshalled into the field; her leading statesmeu are all in favour of prosecuting the war; and so far as we know, the spirit of the people is more thoroughly hostile than hitherto. If Mexico now rejects the Presi- dent's offer, if she refuse to receive or to send a Minister, or to enter into any negociation which shall restore peace between the two republics, sbe may well expect the utmost rigour of thestorm she will provoke." The Oregon tre-ity, signed hy the British Government, had reached Washington, aud the President immediately issued a proclamation to the American people, announcing the ratification of the treaty. The domestic affairs of the Union are important. Con- gress adjourned, as appointed, on the loth inst. The Sub-Treasury bill had passed, with a provision that it should go into operation on the 1st 01 January. The Warehousing Bill had also become law, and likewise an important bill, calculated to secure to the Uuited States the foreign transit trade to Canada. The potato rot, it appears, threatened to prove disastrous to the crop. Simi- lar accounts have come to hand from St. John's, New Brunswick. CANADA.—In Canada there still prevails considerable agitation on topics which have been forced into notice by the recent commcrcial changes In British policy, as well as by the Warehousing and Tariff Bills of Congress. A large public meeting was held at Montreal on the 10th ins! to adopt measures for carrying on the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad. It was numerously attended, and committees were appointed to solicit subscriptions to carry on the work. A Quebec letter, dated August 5th, states that the ship Elizabeth and Sarah had arrived off the city from Killala, after having lost no less than 44 of her passengers, with the Captain the ship, according to the statement, having been supplied with putrid water. La- prarie had suffered from an extensive and disastrous con- n-tgratiou at the time the accounts left the Church had taken lire, and there seemed to be no doubt but that it would he destroyed. MEXICO.—The intelligence received from the Rio Grande extends to the close of July. Little active pro- gress had been made in the war. The army on the hunks ot the Del Norte numbered about 17,000 men, and was steadily, but slowly advancing into the interior. Carmargo was the tarthest point yet reached by the troops, though preparations continued for a march against Monterey. General Taylor was expected to move forward about the •>th of August. Vera Cruz accounts are to the 17th of July. Paredes had not left the city of Mexico, and could not raise a body of 5,000 men to follow kim. Briga- dier Kierney was advancing en route with great rapidity, and according to late accounts from New Mexico, there then existed no force capable of competent resistance within that department. The levy of Mormons effected by Captain Allen had reached Fort Leavenworth. The Comanchee Indians were carrying on terriUe ravages on the Mexican frontiers. The advices from the coast to Mexico are unimportant. Nothing of a belligerent charac- ter had occurred. THE MARITIME RESOURCES OF 2NGLAND AND FRANCE. One of the most prominent subjects which now occupy public attention, is the relative maritime resources of France and England. Many persons would lead us to imagine that while France has been adopting measures for the improvement of her navy, both with respect to its materiel and personnel, England has made no corres- ponding effort to improve hers and that henceforth France will have the power of successfully contending against this country on the element hitherto considered peculiarly our own. If such were the case, the loss of our naval supremacy would be followed by the most dis- astrous consequences, destructive to our commerce, and probably fatal to our independence as a nation. On a subject of such importance, it may be as well to analyse the facts which have led the alarmists to the conclusion, that in the event of a war with France, England will no longer be able, in nautical parlance, to "hold her own" on the seas. The chief of these are, the ninety-three millions of francs voted bv the Chambers fcr the im- provement of the French navy, an addition to the ordi- nary estimates for the year, of upwards of one hundred and twenty millions of francs, and a supplemertal credit of six millions of francs annually for seven years and the maritime inscription, with the establishment of les ecoles des mousses. From these circumstances, it has been attempted to be shown that France is it- a better state of preparation for war than England, and could more readily man and equip a fleet for sea than this country. The chief grounds upon which, it is alleged. Frenchmen trust to their future success at sea are, the probability of a war commencing suddenly the difficulty England would experience in manning her Hetf, from having neglected to organise her resources; jnd the improvement of the French navy in discipline, still, and gunnery. Captain Pluukett, in his recent wfrk, the Past and Future of the British Navy. is of opinion that French writers are correct in supposing that wi hin cer- tain limits as to number, a French fleet would le at sea before an English one; and that while France may reckon upon the sudden and opportune termination of peace some day or other, as a sufficiently probable event, she may also with some degree of probability reckon upon the comparative ease with which she would man her fleet. While it must be granted that this country has ever treated the seamen of the Royal Navy, to whose services all classes of the community are so much in- debted, with gross neglect and injustice, and that it is impe- ratively necessary for the British Government to turn their attention to the subject and devise some measures for the improvement of the condition of our sailors, both physically and morally; and while it must also be ad- mitted that this neglect has rendered the service unpopular, and driven our best seamen to seek employment in the mercantile marine in preference to the navy; still it does not follow that with all these disadvantages, the personnel of our navy may not even now be superior to that of any other country. It is well known that the maritime in- scription in France, to which so much importance seems to be attached, is scarcely sufficient for the present re- quirements of the French navy, and that it is in contem- plation to supply this deficiency by youths drawn from les ecoles des mousses. The Count de Moutalembert, in the Chamber of Peers a short time since, loudly complained that notwithstanding all the exertions of the government, it was hopeless to expect to place the French navy upon anything like an equality with the English. The number of men enrolled in the inscription maritime of France is 101,306, every man of whom not abroad is at once available. It seldom happens, however, that more than one-third of this number are at home, the remaining two-thirds being distributed in various parts of the world; consequently it follows that, even if these men were to respond promptly to the call made upon them to serve in the royal navy, there are not above thirty-three thousand available: a number barely suffi- cient to meet the present requirements of the service. Now, even supposing that England has neglected to organise her resources, still she has nothing to fear from France as a naval power, with all her organisation for the source whence she derives her supply is unable to furnish the required demand, even for present purposes, much less any increased demand from sudden emergency. England with her immense mercantile marine has nearly half a million of seamen. Two-thirds of these may be abroad in the numerous ships now traversing the seas, or in the foreign ports; and the remaining third at home. This is rather under than above the estimate of the number of seamen at home for, when the coasting and coal trade is taken into consideration, the number of sailors at home in the various ports of Great Bri- tain, cannet be averaged at less than two hundred thou- sand men. The real secret of our strength is our great commercial marine. To compete with us as a naval power France must first become a great mercantile power. No ecoles des mousses can furnish such sailors as those supplied by our great nursery for seamen, the fleet of col- liers constantly passing & repassing between the Tyne and the Thames. Let France have the benefit of all her organ- ised resources, yet they are not equal to those we have already at our immediate command for the royal navy. While we have this immense mercantile personnel to fall back upon in case of necessity, and from which, by holding out proper inducements, we can hereafter man such fleets as may be needed, we can at the present time from such resources as are now available, man and equip a fleet for sea of thirty sail of the line, including those forming the squadron of evolution, in little more than a fortnight. After what has been published on this subject, this announcement of our being able to equip and man so large a fleet in so short a time, may appear incredible to those who are not acquainted with the mode by which it can be accomplished; especially when it is added that impressment need not be resorted to. There are at the present moment already nine sail of the line in com- mission. Supposing any sudden termination of peace should render it necessary for this country to send a fleet of thirty sail of the line to sea as speedily as possible twenty-one of the advanced ships might be selected for commission, and the crews of the nine line of battle ships now in commission ordered to equip them. The rapidity with which the crews of the Albion and Rodney got the two advanced ships perfectly ready for sea, with all their guns and stores on board, in little more than two days, affords an excellent illustration of what can be done by our seamen, and that there will not be the least difficulty in getting twenty one ships ready for sea in a fortnight by the crews of the experimental squadron. The alleged ditficulty is in manning them after they are equipped. This, however, can easily be accomplished. We have a numerous and organised body of practical seamen available for the service upon auy sudden emer- gency, many of whom have already been in the navy, and whose good conduct as sailors while in it was the means of procuring them their subsequent employment upon being paid off; we allude to the coast-guard. The lords ot the admiralty a tew days ago since ordered a return to be made to them of the number of men now in the Coust Guard, no doubt with a view to ascertain the ex- tent of this resource. In addition to this, there are five thousand marines on shore at Portsmouth, Plymouth and Chatham, ready for immediate embarkation and it is not unreasonable to suppose that, in the event of a war, many volunteers at once would come forward to enter for the navy, especially if proper encouragement be held out to them. With regard to the rapidity with which a French fleet could be equipped and manned, it is ex- tremely doubtful whether that country could man thirty sail of the line for many months: at least, not with sea- men. The fleet now under the command ot htsRoya.1 Highness the Prince de Joinville, the ships in the Pacific, South America, the East and West Indies, and the squadron on the coast of Africa, have absorbed all their available seamen; and despite of the maritime inscription, she would find it much more difficult to get a fleet ready for sea in a short time than we should. How far the statement "that the improvement of the French navy in discipline, skill, and gunnery will give them an advantage over us in future combats," may be relied upon, will form the subject of future reluark.-Dailv News.
