J)RINCE'S CELEBRATED RUSSIA OIL i s now IQ improved with an extra valuable ingredient, through which tl has meat it the greatest preserver and promoter to the hair: if loft constantly, not a hair will fall off or turn grey : it la such • onnisher to the hair, that even if it has begun to turn grey, it wiU restore it to its natural colour by rubbing it frequently into the non, as hundreds have experienced who have used it regularly. It b one to d ear t h e scurf from infancy to old age, and when dress. bt with it, will always keep the head and hair clean and beauti ful, and in curl Will surely restore the hair on bald places, if theft is the lent sign of roots ; but if persons are bald, and the roots et entirely gone, it is against nature that any article can restore it; sod if persons pretend to restore hair when the roots are gone, by my article whatever, it is a falsity. Persons who have begun so get bald ought to be particular to use the Russia Oil daily, or at the lean every other day, as there must be a complaint in the sadp, which may go further, and catty off the hair entirely, if neglected, which has often been the ewe. Even Medical Gentlemen of the Medical Hall, who have analysed Prince's Russia Oil, have pub lished in the " G azette o f H ealth, " No. 16, that the discovery is a rm credit to the proprietor, and is aupenor to any other Oil for Ile hair, and will do in cases of baldness and weak hair, what tall poribly be done in strengthening and restoring it. The Medical Gentlemen have also analysed another Oil, which i s daily puffed in the Paper s as used by Emperors, Kings, Dukes, &c., and have published in the " Gazette of Health," No. 12, that on examining the ingredients of this gran d Oil, t h ey fi nd it contains only com mon Oil, coloured and perfumed ; therefore, it cannot be compared to the Russia thlas a nourisher to the hair. There are petty per. foams, h a i r -m easers and others, who melt bullocks' fat, and put It in pots and perfume it, and take in the public by pretending to sell them Bears' Grease ; but it is well known that Bears' Grease is too harsh for the hair, and makes the hair turn grey and fall off. The truth of this is well known to every one who knows the Elope. rot Alexander, as he lost his hair at an early age ; and many per. eons of distinction in the North also lost their hair at an early age s through using Rears' Grease. In short, in Russia, and other pots tithe North, where the Bean are, it w found from experience tbs. Been' Grease is too harsh for the hair ; and Whoever recommends $t in this country f or t h e hair, must do it for imposition, or must be Ignorant of its injuri ng t h e hair : but Prisce's Celebrat ed Russia Oil is mixed with the mot nourishing oils in Europe, and it is always like a jelly; and ft is proved by every one who has given it it hair trial to be the only article that actually preserves and pro. notes the hair. It is no wonder that Ladies and Gentlemen have complained of Mk of the Russia Oil not being of service to the hair, as they have farad out that unprincipled persons have sold them counterfeits. Ladies and gentlemen will be particular, as impostors in Great M tn* France, and different parts of the Continent, bate made the awns of the Counterfeit Russia Oil so much like the genuine, and some. store to deceive falsely, have . printed on th e counter f e i t coven th e mitinal," nr " genuine Houma Oil," and some even are so dams", although they know it is punishable, to put the original timelees thatm.

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS. r HERE is not, perhaps, in the whole Materia Medics any one remedy which so effectually relieves the pain of a suffering patient as the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watch the writhing tortures into which a lovely infant is often convulsed during the period of dentition, without feeling sympathy for its sufferings ? And who would hesitate to procure a remedy, when a remedy tan be found, which is obvious by the effectual relief afforded in so many distressing cases which are daily coming to the notice of Mrs. Johnson ? Therefore. Mothers ought never to be without the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP in the Nursery; for, if a child awakes in the night with pain, by only rubbing the gums with a few drops of the Syrup, it will immedi ately open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevers and convulsions ; for should it come in competition with any other dis order, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes. To be had wholesale and retail, of Johnson and Co. :8, York. place, City-road; and, by their appointment, of all principal Medicine Venders in town and country, at . 2s. %M. per bottle. N.B.

[FROM TILL EDINBUItOII LI OAZLTTE.J "%Ye wish to direct the attention of our readers to the following very interesting scientific article. It is well drawn up, and full of curious information, derived from the recent visits, both over-land and by "sea, to the Arctic shores : IVERNERIAN SOCIETY. At a meeting of this Society on Saturdat last 110th inst.) speci mens of the quadrupeds collected by Captains Parry and Franklin, and Dr. Richardson, mite exhibited and an account of the animal' collected during the over-land antic expedition was road by that intrepid and intelligent fellow.trareller of the celebrated Captain Franklin, Dr. Richardson. It Is understood that the University of Edinburgh has the first selection from these present collections, a preference which must be highly gratifying to all those who take an interest in the Scottish national collection, and which, we believe, has been secured to this Calvet/site, not only from the justice of compensating to her for having had only the second choice out of former collections, but also as a tribute due to the celebrity of our Professor of Natural History, who is unquestion ably the most eminent in that branch of science of all British naturalists. They specimens were not all comprehended in the Memoir read by Dr. Richardson, but he knew them all, and very obliglogly answered several questions pinposed to him, relative to those animals which had been collected in the naval arctic ex pedition. An account of two or three of the quadrupeds collected during the overland arctic expedition had been read to•thtgociety on a former day, and Dr. Richardson took up the Memoir from the place where it had been broken off. Ile began with the Wolverine, an animal_stryingly allied . to the Fox, Wolf, and Dog tribe ; he disc:ailed tititeapposesitly intermingled clams of animals at consider able Issagil4 *bomb In as. low a tone of voice, that we had a goad deal of difficulty, at first, in hearing what he said. Amongst other things, we particularly noticed a circumstance which he related respecting the mode in which the Arctic dogs hunt an animal, which, from its size, they may be afraid of attacking. They ap proach it gradually and cautiously in a semicircle: if the animal show no symptoms of fear, they pause; if, on th e contrary, it ap pear terrified, they drive it about till it i s ex h auste d, when they attack it, and easily overcome it. The hair of the Wolverine was dirk brown, long, and wiry ; on the sides, near to the tail, it had a yellowish tinge. The tail was short, and furnished with longer hair ; the cars short. The next animal described by 1)r. Richardson was the Arctic Fox. Of this species three specimens were produced, to show the varieties in the colour and appearance of the Fox, at different pe riods of the year. The winter clothing of these animals is white ; and Dr. Richardson observed that this alteration happened, not front a change of the hair, but front a change of its celotir. In winter the soles of the feet of this animal are covered with a thick coat of hair, which, by some naturalists, seems to have been consi dered to be a sufficient chiracteristic to constitute a specific dif ference between the Arctic and the more southerly Fox. We should, however, regard it only as forming a variety, not a spe cies, in the same way as the feathery-legged Bantam Chanticleer is only a variety of the naked-legged, Highlander-like, Common fowl. The skins of these Foxes form a valuable and considerable arti cle of commerce. The next animal mentioned by Dr. Richardson was the mouse several specimens were placed on the table. These mice are about the sae of our common Hanoverian rat ; the body . looks round and fat, the bead is roundish, the snout not being pointed, as in our mice ; the Beet are short ; but the most remarkable feature which characterises this mouse is its tail : this member, so prominent and conspicuous a one in all the rat and mouse family (whether in town or country), with which we have hitherto been acquainted, is moat particularly short in the mouse of Hudson's Bay ; in short, it seems rather to have been appointed for the purpose of shewing the spit to which tails are usu ally affixed, and by way of an apology for the absence of that lengthy app , radam than to have been intended for one. This mouse much - raiemlas the mole, in the shape and site of the body and tail, but not in any other particulars. Dr. Richardson stated that, occasionally, very numerous bodies of these short-tailed mice were seen travelling over the lee, and darkening it in large spots ; for what purpose, er in what direction they were ambling, we did not learn ; but it is probable that want of food occasions sach migrations. Similar excursions have been I noticed in other places. The next animal presented to the attention of the Society was a species of Marmot, called Arctomys Parryil. This was every beau- ' taut little animal, with a body somewhat larger than that of our common squirrel. The colour of the fur was a light bream, 'Ridy but thickly spotted over the back with white indistinct meta. - 'Pie eyM were large And prominent ; the heed rather roundish. In Its I I stomach, at one period of the year, were found the fruit of the man berry t at loather, the seeds eta polygonnm, and some other seeds. Its ay . aeasewhat reassisbles the sound of a watchman's male; and the tisquitnaux call it the " Sic Sic," a name formed byan attempt to convey a notion of the sound ejaculated by the creature; in the same way as was adopted, if we remember rightly, by Aristophains, in his imitation of the songs of frogs In their springtide water parties —" Ko-ax, karat." This animal, when alarmed, spreads out the hairs of its tail, which is about three inches long. Doctor Richardson thou proceeded to the Cirrus Tarandia (the Reindeer) ; and described a greater variety in the growth and shape' of the horns than we had any . previous idea of. The growth of these excrescences, In most animals, appears to be regulated by established awe, and the horns, from sire to son, assume the same I shape and fashion. in this species of deer we are informed that our travellers observed ray considerable variations id that ex traordinary ornament. The rein-deer is. so well known in this country mice Mr. Bullock's exertions to procure and exhibit them, that we need not say any more about it. One pa tina:A we cannot omit, which belongs more especially to the science of gastronomy, though it is not yet publicly known in this country, sew even in France, so celebrated for her ' program In this study. But were it known, we fear that it could not be conveniemtly practised in Great Britain, in consequence of the immense expense of importing the animal alive. In detailing the uses of the Rein-deer, Dr. Richardson told his audience that the mattes used every part of the body as food ; and that they carried their epicurism so far as to eat the contents of the stomach. They seemed to imagine diet the lichens which had been mad cat.ed by the deer, and partially decomposed by the action of the gastric juitte of this most interesting animal, were thereby rendered more 6t, proper, and digestible for the use of man. Charms a son gout I Dr. Richardson then named a very singular fact relative to the period of these animals shedding their horns. It would appear that the most usualeason for their sustaining that loss is the autumn ; but he said that some of them had been observed to retain their b orn e so l a te as February, and if we mistake not very much, some examples were not wanting of their continuing till May. The Musk Ox was the next quadruped, with an account of which the Society was favoured by Dr. Richardson. When a herd of these "Month is Sad at, if the huntsman keep himself well concealed, they imagine the noise to be thunder, and crowd close together; but if by the excellence of their smell, which sense they in great acuteness, or by other means, they discover a posses being, they immediately disperse. It occasionally happens that a wounded Musk Ox will turn on the hunter and endeavour to cake a'very violent attack on him ; in this case the hunter will be perfectly safe, if, with a little activity and much presence of mind, he starts on one side, and takes the opportunity of stabbing the disappointed ox ashe rages past him. In speaking of the Musk Rat (which did not form a part of Dr. Richardson's Memoir), he said that he supposed the musky odour to be emitted fmm all parts of its skin ; and that it was only at particular periods of the year that the animal was observed to have a very strong scent. This rd Is nearly as large as our common cat, and must indeed be a most formidable inmate of any house, if its habits were like those of our common rat, and its resolution in. creased in proportion to the size. two specimens of White Hare were shown ; one from Scotland, the other from the Arctic Regions. They were exhibited together for the purpose of allowing the comparisons to be made. The latter specimen was rather larger than the Scottish variety ; in graffiti it was a stouter-made animal; the tail was longer and larger • the face appeared more full; the ears thicker and more covered with fur; the fur itself was much thicker all over the body; it seemed also to be rather longer, and was, beyond all comparison, finer and softer. It would be undoubtedly one of the most valuable white furs that could be brought into the market, if it could be procured in sufficient abundance to form an object of commercial enterprise. We understand that our countrymen have scarcely yet reached the country where this valuable species of White flare exists in abundance. Several other animals also, not included in the account written by Dr. Richardson, were produced, fur the purpose of hearing such observations from that distinguished travaler as his experience might enable him to make; but as we must uofortunately hasten to conclude this article, we are under the necessity of passing them over in silence. Wc hear that Dr. Richardson will. in proceeding with this sub ject, read an account of die fishes collected by our distinguished countrymen in the Polarßegions, at the next niecetingof thesociety. CAPTAIN LYON. Friday last the freedom of the city of Chichester was presented to Captain Lyon in due form. It was inclosed in a box of oak, being a piece taken from his .Majesty's ship Ilecla, which that in trepid of icer commanded in the late voyage under Captain Parry's orders. The box is lined with gold, and ornamented with several handsome and appropriate devices. In the lid is the following inscription : Presented Jan. 16, 1224, Dy the Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of Chichester, To GEORtiE FRANCIS LYON, EMI. Captain in the Royal Navy, In testimony of their admiration Of the zeal, perseverance, And spirit of enterprise Displayed by him In his Travels in Northern Africa, And in the late I'oyage to the Polar Seas, In search Of a North-West Passage. CHIVALRY. The extinction of the house of Burgundy, the govern ment of Louis XI. and, above all, the new m a n ner o f waging war which had been introduced over all Europe, contributed insensibly to abolish what we call chivalry, a kind of dignity and confraternity •of which there soon re mained no more than a weak and imperfect idea. This chivalry was a warlit-e institution, introduced among the nobility as the devout confraternities had been established among the burghers. The anarchy and con fusion under which Europe had laboured upon the decline of the house of Charlemagne, gec rise to this institution. Dukes, Counts, Viscounts, and Lords of Manors, were grown sovereigns on their own estates ; they wagkd . rat against each other; instead of those great Armies of Charles Martel, Pepin, and Charlemagne, almost all Eu rope was divided into sm all bodies of seven:or eight hundred men, and sometimes less. Two or three towns formed a petty state, which was continually at war with its neigh.: boor. There was no longer any COMMUOialtiol3 between the provinces, no longer any high roads, no longtr any se curity for the merchants, though the public could not do without them • every owner of a castle extorted from than on the road, Ltd the multitude of towers on the banks'of the rivers and in narrow passages of mountains, were only so Many nests or lurking-holes of robbers. They carried off the women, and plundered the merchants. A great many Lords insensibly entered into an associa tion, and even Towed to maintain the public security and to protect the Julies. This virtuous institution Treeived a greater force by being made a religious act ; associations of this sort were formed in almost all the provinces; every Lord of a great fief held it an honour to be a Knight, and to be admitted into the Order. Towards the eleventh century, both religious and civil ceremonies were established, which seemed to give a new character to the candidate ; he was obliged to fast, to con fess, and receive thesacrament, and to pass a whole night armed caps-vie. He was made to dine by himself at a separate table, while his godfathers, and the ladies who were to put on his armour, and to dub him knight, ate et another. For his part, he was clad in a White tunic, and sat at his side-table, where he was forbid to speak, to laugh, or even to eat. The next day he entered the ehareh with his sword hanging about his neck, and the prie s t gave him his benediction ; afterwards he knelt florin before the lord or lady who was to put on his armour. The perions of the first rank that assisted at the Ceremony put on his spurs, clad him with a cuirass, with braises, adobes' gattnt lets, and with a coat of mail. The godfather who ineutlied him touched him three times on his shoulder with the flat side of his sword, in the name of God, of St. Michael, and of St. George. From that time forward, so often es he heard mass, he drew hie sword, Ind held it erect when the ' priest read the Gospel. This installation was fbllowed by high *tittle, and of tentimei by tournaments, the expenses of which fell, upon the people. The great Lords of fiefs laid k tix on their subjects for time day on which their children were to receive the Order of Knighthood. It was generally at the age ot cue.-and-twenty that they received this title; befine that time they were Bachelors, which. signified the same of has Chevaliers, Inferior Knights, or A'arlets, and Squires : , and the Lords who had entered the confraternity sent thfir children to one another's homey in order to he educated far from their parents, by the name of varlets in tee ap: prenticeship of chivalry. The time of the crusades was the period in which chi.: I valry was most in vogue. The Feudal Lords, wb' led their vassals Under their flag, were called ItnicAts bats; wets; not that the bare title of Knight gate theme right to appear in, the field with a fiar ttat pair flint; Ind not the cerentony of dubbing, t itallided thern r01 . 17e ' troops under their edittmind.

'Mit IMO Was • only i distinction introduced by castom, 'stint iioninir by courtesy; it vrarrnever a real dignity fn the Mate; nor ha:i it ever any influence on the form - of gOverinnent. Tbt ' elections of the Emperors and Of' Kings *ere not made by Knights; there was no necessity of bating been dubbed to I be admitted into the Imperial Diet, into the PaHiattient of France, or the Cortes of Spain. The infecitments, the rights of jurisdiction arid independence the inheritano . .s. the laws, everything, in flue, that wit emends!, had m. sort of relation to chivalry. In this rnattkr, therefore, al the writers who have employed themeeltee en the suture: of chivalry have been greatly deceived. T4ey hate all of them asserted, on the faith of romances, that this honour was a poet, an employment, and that laws were established for the government of the Knights. But theke pretended laws were nothing more than cantatas. The great privi leges of this institution consisted in the bloody Vert* called tournaments. Neither a bacheled 110 r squire, generally speaking, were suffered to juatle with a knight. Even Kings themseites would be armed as Knights, but this gave them no addition of dignity or power; 'brie in tention was merely to encourage chivalry and valour by their example. The Knights had a great respect shown them in society, and this was all the advantages they'd . JoYed• In process of time, when King Edward 111. had insti tuted the Order rf the Gorier, Philip the Good, Luke of Burgundy, the Order of the Golds-, Fleece; and Louis XI. the Order of St. Michael (in the beginning as much re spected as the other two, an now so ridierilouily debased), then the ancient chivalry declined ; it had no longer any mark of distinction, nor I head that could confer particular honours or privileg es. There were no longer any Knight* Bannerets ; when Kings and great Princes had established regular companies in their artniei, then the ancient chivalry became only an empty name. But it watt still thought au honour to be dubbed by a great Prince, or by a famous warrior. Those Lords who were constituted in some dig nity, added to their title the quality of Knight, and all those Who made profession of arms, assumed that of Esquire. The Military Orders of Knighthood, at the Templare, the Knights of Malta, the Teutonic Order, and so many others, are an imitation of the ancient chivalry, whieb com bined the ceremonies of religion and military duty. Hu: this kind of chivalry was absolutely different trom the ancient. It produced the Monastic Military Orders, founded by Popes, possessed of benefices, and bound by the three monastic vows. Of these extraordinary Orders, some have been great" conquerors, others have been sup pressed for their debauchery, and others subsist still with dignity. The Teutonic Order was a sovereign power ; the Orler of Malta is so still, and is likely so to continue. There is scarce a Prince in Europe that has not thought proper to institute an Order of Knighthood. The simple title of Knight, which the Kings of England confet on private citizens, without enrolling them in any particular Order, is a derivation from the ancient chivalry, hut err ? , remote from its source. Its genuine descent has be e n pre served only in the ceremony by which the Kings of France always confer the honour of Knighthood on the Ambassa dors sent from Venice, and the accolade, or embracing about the neck, is the only ceremony preserved in this in ' stallation. The infrssors the late erected themselves into uu Onkr like the 'lrtie Knights of Arms; this was a proof of the decline. of ancient chivalry. The students wok the name of Bachelors, after having maintained a thesis; anti the Doctors q . Lax called them3elvti; Kniets ' a title ridi culous in itself, for originally the Chcnatier or Knight was a person who fought armed on horseback, which certainly could have no kind of connection with a civilian. All this affords us a picture that is exceedingly varie gated; and if we were attentively to follow :he chain of the several custom■ of Europe since the time of Charle magne, in respect to government, to the church, to war, 1 ., dignities, to finances, to society, and, ht fine, even to die article of dress, we should find nothing but a rerpetual vicissitude.
