      HUNGARY AND BADEN . THE POLISH LEGION . When in 1848 the dawn of un iversal freedom awoke the oppressed nations , Poland , not finding a battle-field upon her own shackled soil , sent her devoted sons to meet their enemy in Hungary and South-Western Germany . The despots triumphed ; the right was trampled down . The Polish legions shared the ruin of their allies . Those who escaped slaughter were hunted from country to country , till , except i n the British isles , no place of refuge remained for them in Europe . About eighty reached here from Switzerland ; and in June last ninety-nine r arrived at Southampton from Turkey . Of these , sixty-eight arenoAv in London . 'ignorantof the English language , and therefpr ^ without likelihood of empl oyment , in a state of utter destitution . A Committee ( elected on the 30 th of June by Poles , assembled for the purpose from among both the old and new refugees ) has been appointed to raise means for the support of these remaining ( about 80 ) exiles , until , by the efforts of the Committee , em . ployment may be found or opportunities afforded for their return to the Continent . For this purpose a Subscription List is opened at the Leader Office , 9 , Crane-court , Fleet-street ; and the Committee urgently request the contributions of all friends of European freedom . What England has already done is a guarantee of what she will do . Her sympathies for Poland preceded those for Hungary . Now they may unite in a common manifestation for both causes by lending a brotherly hand to their devoted victims . The grateful heart of the Poles has not forgotten the past , and cannot , therefore , but be confident iu the future . The members of the Committee : —L . Oborski ( Colonel ) , Captain J . B . Rola Babtochowski , Baraszkibwicz , Major A . Przkzdzibcki , M ajewski , Lieutenant W . Lewandowski , Lieutenant-Colonel Freund . The accounts will be open to the inspection of Subscribers at 39 , Upper Norton-street , Portland-place , and w ill be published by the Leader . SUBSCRIPTIONS ItECRIVED : — Mr .

      ROSSI'S PERUVIAN BALM for CLEANING , BEAUTIFYING , and STRENGTHENING the HAIR . This BALM , containing neither ardent spirits , pungent essential oils , nor other injurious materials—cleans the Hair expeditiously , renders it beautifully bright , and imparts to it the delicate fragrance of flowers . The Hair when washed with this Balm soon becomes pleasantly soft , and luxuriant in growth ; and although , by improperly employing injurious extracts to clean it , the Hair may have been rendered harsh , or turned grey , it will soon be restored to its natural colour and brilliancy by using the PERUVIAN BALM .

      T HE WORKING TAILORS ' ASSOCIATION , 34 , CASTLE-STREET , OXFORD-STREET , Opposite the Pantheon . A few Journeymen Tailors , anxious to rescue themselves and their class from the miseries and degradation consequent on unlimited competition , and from the abuse of the powers of capital as lately exhibited to the public by the Morning Chronicle newspaper , in his letters on " Labour and the Poor , " have resolved to seek a remedy in their own exertions rather than in any parliamentary enactment , and in some system which shall combine their own interest with the interests of other classes of society rather than in that return to old customs now chiefly advocated in the trade , by which . the benefit of the master and journeyman " ( but especially of the former ) is sought to be realized at the expense of the consumer . They have , therefore , united together on the cooperative principle , possessing first-rate talents in the Cutting and Working department , and being supplied by several benevolent gentlemen , with sufficient capital ( which they are anxious to pay back on the first opportunity ) , they have commenced business on extensive premises in Castle-street , Oxford-street , to which and the accompanying list of prices attention is respectfully invited . It will be seen from the latter that they are at once able to compete with the slopseller , whilst realizing a fair profit themselves . They are mutually bound to devote one-third of their net profits to the extension of their numbers . It now rests with the public to stamp their experiment with success by favouring them with a liberal measure of custom , and thereby demonstrate , on an ever-widening' scale , that health , prosperity , and moral worth can be secured to the operatives , and cheapness guaranteed to the consumer , by the faithful realization of the brotherly and Christian principle of cooperation . They wish not to injure the trade of any truly " honourable" employer , and venture to hope that all who feel that custom itself ought to have its morality , and who are willing to do what in them lies towards dealing fairly by the operative , will help them by their sympathy , and , as far us possible , by their orders . All who are friendly to this experiment , and wish it to succeed , should give it all the assistance in their power , and recommend it to others . ________

      CURES FOR THE UNCURED I HOLLO WAY'S OINTMENT . — An extraordinary Cure ofSokovula or Kino ' s Evil . Extract of a Letter from Mr . J . H . Alliday , 209 , High-street , Cheltenham , dated the 23 nd of January , 1850 . "To Professor Holloway . " Slit , —My eldest son , when about three years of age , was afflicted with aGlandu ' ar Swelling in the neck , which , after a short time , broke out into an Ulcer , An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of Scrofula , and prescribed tor a considerable time without effect . The disease then for four years went on gradually increasing in virulence , when , besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , and a third under the eye , besides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between the eyes , which was expected to break . During the whole of the time my suffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical Gentlemen at Cheltenham , besides being for several months at the General Hospital , where one of the 8 urgeons said that he would amputate the left arm , but that the blood was so impure that , if that limb were taken off , it would be then even impossible to subdue the disease . In this desperate state I determined to give your Pills and Ointment a trial , and , after two months' perseverance in their use , the tumour gradually began to disappear , and the discharge from all the ulcers perceptibly decreased , and at tho expiration of eight months they were perfectly healed , and the boy thoroughly restored to the blessings of health , to tlio astonishment of a large circle of acquaintances , who could testify to the truth of this miraculous case . Three years have now elapsed without any recurrence to the malady , and the boy is now as healthy as heart can wish . Under these circumstanced 1 consider that 1 should be truly ungrateful were I not to wake you acquainted with this wonderful cure , eli ' ected by your medicines , after every other mean , had failed . §§ ^ ^ Aujl ) AV „ Sold by the Proprietor , 344 , Strand ( near Temple Bar ) , London , and by all respectable Venders of Patent Medicines throughout the Civilized World , in Pots and Boxes , at Is . l ^ Jd .. 2 * .
