I ,Sir, A PIWOUNT MAN. The tendency of the new Russian Tariff, is un •derstood to b‘: so decidedly inimical to English com merce, that an attempt is making to impress on the Board of Trade the propriety of recommending to Parliament the imposition of a heavy duty on arti cles imported from Russia, particularlf tallow, and the abolition of the excise on soap and candles.— We believe, however, that the suggestion has not Lie. with much encouragement from the Board of Trade, the president of which is said to have de clared to a deputation of merchants ttho waited on him with a memorial in behalf of the measure, that t.o fitr from imposing any new restrictions cm trade, it was the wish of the Board, if possible, to remove those which existed. ede.C'TY FIRE UFIICE. *MD PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE, REGENT STREET, LONDON. ?RESIDENT AND TRUATZES• The DUKE of NORFOLK.

Through the discovery of an extra valuable ingredient, and whl:lt ha, Leen proved, will be sure to assist in preserving, and promoting the hair, will make it grow I thick and long, prevent it falling la or ever turning grey, and will be sure to assist in restoring it to bald places, if the least signs of roots .re remaining. And us the Proprietor is now • resolved nut to prepare his Russia Oil without that valuable in- H redient, chhough very expensive ; therefore the Proprietor cannot possiblr sell the ounce bottle for less than ss. and the large bottle, which contains live ounces, for one sovereign, which Is a saving. And as some think the Russia Oil dear, the reason is easily ascertained ; tar instance,an ounce bottle of Oil of Roses is only about 35.; and an ounce bottle of the best and genuine Otto of Roses is rive guineas. The reason is, because the one is tar more preferable to the other. So it is with PRINCE'S Russia Oil, which is tar preferable to any other article fur the Even Medical Gentlemen have published in the Gazette of Health, that Prince's Itussi-t Oil is superior to any Oil for the hair; will restore it on bald places, and strengthen weak hair sooner than any other preparation. Also Mr. Marshall, the first Coutt Hair dresser, of Wianiore Street; Mr. Damon, Hair Dresser, Ike. to the Royal Family, AVeymouth ; Mr. Adams, Boar Lane, Leeds; and hundreds of other principal Hair Dres. serf, have declared that they recommend Prince's Russia Oil before any other, as from experience they have found it to be the best for preserving and promoting the Ilair, clearing the teurf, and keeping the head and hair clean; although there arc other Articles for the Hair daily puffed in the Newspapers. But there arc thousands of Ladies and Gentlemen have a good head of Hair by using PRINCE'S celebrated 11 UsSI A OIL. But some Ladies being persuaded to use other Oils, they soon found the di:feu:nee, an their I lair began to fall off, or get grey. Ladies will find Prince's Russia Oil preferable to any otlierOil for dressing their own, or false hair, as it gives a natural softens, and curls it. Gent:emen wearing powder ought to use it instead of pornatum I it promotes cybrows, whiskers. &a. Sold Wlinicsnic, Retail, and for Exportation, by the sole Pro prietor, A. Turves, removed ui o• U.

Lon Don Markets CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY, Manor IS. Since this day week we have had several fresh arrivals of Wheat from the Essex. Kentish, and Suffolk coasts, as well as from Scotland, but although the supply is tolerably large, there does not appear much disposition on the part of the consumers to pu r chase, except for their immediate use , a s the qual i ty of t he Wheat in general continues of an inferior kind, a:Lough there is certainly some improvement as the season advances; the finest descriptions were full as dear as last week, other qualities were from 'is. to 4.. per qr. lower. Barley was in good demand, ar.d our last prices fully supported. Oats were plentiful, and rather dull in sale; a few picked samples, however, obtained last Mon day's quotations. Beans, Peas. Ice. were also dull in sale, and a trifle lower. Hour remains a ithout any alteration. - - _____ COIF EXCHANGE, W lIVDNESDAY, MARCH ti!): — There was a considerable supply of Wheat at market this d,,v, consisting of the remainder of Monday's arrivals, and chit fly ui inferior quality, which must be quoted rather lower than oar lust statement; the demand was extremely dull, and a large quantity remains on hand. The prime samples of Malting Barley found ready purchasers at Monday's ',flees; the other sorts were dull in sale, and but very few bargains effected. The Oat trade was extremely dull, and only a few prime samples met with purchasers. In Beans and l'caa there is no alteration, but the sale./ were heavy. CORN EXCHANGE, Fainay, MaIICII 22. There were several fresh artivals of Wheat at market this day, but the demand was not brisk ; the prime samples may be quottsl at our last statement, but the . inferior qualities w.re lower. Making Barley keeps up its p rice. The Oat trade was vary dull, but very few bargains were effected, and those at lower prices than on Monday. In Beaus and l'ea, we cannot qtt,te any alteration. The market wa, very dull, and no great expect ations of any improvement are entertained. CUItItENT I',llCl l'er V inches ;ES Of EItAIN FOR f. •rter Measure of Eight Itunii k.
