The Indian Vegetable Fibrous Flesh Rubber: We have been requested by Mr. Pincent, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company’s service, to examine and test the merits of a novel article of commerce just introduced by him for the use of bathers in hot or cold, sea or freshwater. It is in appearance not unlike a piece of curled hair cloth of a light brown colour, and of the consistency of Markham’s horsehair gloves. It is the membranous inner coating of a species of Gourd, produced in certain districts of Eastern Asia, and in those countries where the use of the bath is so universal, the luxurious natives and all English and European residents highly value it. Its excellence as a flesh-rubber is in its being so pliant and flexible after immersion that the most rapid friction will not hurt or injure the most delicate skin, and its use while in the bath, or out of it before dressing, thoroughly cleanses and imparts to the body a healthful glow and reaction which secures the full benefit of the bath. Having, ourselves, repeatedly used it, we can fully attest its excellence. Besides the testimonies in its favour from other physicians in India and this country, Mr. Pincent possesses those of Doctors William and Joseph Bullar, of Southampton, who report it as the most efficient flesh- brush for cleansing and stimulating the skin.

Extension of the Omnibus Accommodation to Portswood and Highfield: A meeting was held last night of the leading parties in this project, and they will commence on Monday next to run an omnibus five times a day from and to the extreme points of Portswood and the Docks. This accommodation cannot be prosecuted at first without a subscription that shall meet the outlay over the return, and it is therefore asked of the residents generally to give their contributions towards it, and in a short time it will become self-supporting. At present a guarantee of £104 per annum for two years has been given to Mr. Goddard, in addition to his earnings by the omni-buses. The fare will be 3d. Any parties interested, or disposed to assist the project, can pay a subscription to Mr. Pincent, Mr. Pegler, Mr. Elliston, or Messrs. T. and G. Elliott, of Portswood.
