JUVENILE CRIMINALS. (From the Chronicle.) jnder the head of " Mansion-house," in our police 'lig.-nce of Thursday, will be found a report of some Tent observations by the Lord Mayor, in the course hich he appeals to what he terms " the powerful •e; of the metropolis" to aid him in directing the at neltion of the public and the Legislature to the necessity of providing adequate provision for the reception and reformatory discipline of juvenile criminals. No reader of the Morning Chronicle requires to be informed of our ready sympathy with his Lordship's feelings. For years we have seized every available opportunity of dwelling upon what, in the language of the Lord Mayor, is " the most painful of spectacles," the " crowds of helpless, half-naked children," who swarm in our streets, and become, as if by a fatal necessity, the victims of crime and the permanent feeders of our gaols and our penal colonies. The immediate case before the Lord Mayor was a very common, though a very afflicting one. Three boys, the youngest eight, the eldest twelve years of age, were brought before him. One - of them had been seen by a benevolent gentleman to commit a petty theft ; and he caused them all to be brought up to the Mansion house, with the view of having their apparently desolate condition inquired into, and to see if there were any means of arresting their progress in what the chief civic magistrate of the greatest city in the civilised world was constrained to call " their road to certain destruction." The necessity for something effective being done is even more urgent than probably the Lord Mayor was himself aware of, when he made the observations to which our attention has been called. Hitherto the public have been under the impression that there was in England a reformatory institution for juve nile criminals. When Lord John Russell brought in the Bill for establishing Parkhurst prison, he expressed himself as not being very sanguine as to the results of the insti tution. This was both prudent and decorous in a states man officially propounding a measure which was a first step in a new system of penal jurisprudence. Still, the prison was distinctly understood to be an experiment, in il,e way of juvenile reformation, by the State, and up to the date of the last annual report from Parkhurst prison, ;: was so understood, not merely by the general public, ,out by the officers of the institution. The last annual report tells us of the mode in which 105 young pri soners have been disposed of. Eighteen were sent to Western Australia with conditional pardons ; three were pardoned on medical grounds ; two were transferred to the Refuge for the Destitute ; and no less than seventy-nine were " removed to Millbank for transportation." For this unusual occurrence the governor of the prison &ems it necessary to furnish a special apology. " The relmber of prisoners," he says, " sent back to Millbank for transportation last year, was, from pec u li ar circum stances, unusually great. A number of ill-disposed and discontented boys having been discovered, who mani fested no desire to avail themselves of the course of in struction and training pursued at Parkhurst, but mis chievously employed themselves in unsettling others, it was deemed expedient to remove the greater portion of tb in, and the salutary effect of that step has been very a k parent since that time in the improved conduct of the remaining prisoners." It now appears that there is not The least necessity for making selections amongst the prisoners at Parkhurst. They are all destined for trans portation. Some time ago Mr. Sergeant Adams, acting iris official capacity as chairman of the Middlesex Sessions, was moved by a similar scene to that which drew forth the earnest appeal of the Lord Mayor. We noticed his observations at the time, and concurred pith the Learned Sergeant as to the necessity of ob• taming some information respecting the intentions of the Executive with respect to Parkhurst. An oidcial reply has been received, in answer to a letter from Yr. Sergeant Adams ; and this answer we give at ft flesh in a separate column. From this we gather the starling fact, that, in future, no juvenile prisoners are to be sent to Parkhurst who are not destined finally" "to be sent abroad ;" and all magistrates at Quarter Ses sions, when selecting candidates for Parkhurst, are to bear in mind two qualifications which Sir James Gra ham considers to be essential : first, that the age of ad xnls-ion is " fourteen," and, secondly, that the " size and stature" are proportionate to the age. Whatever benefi', therefore, Parkhurst prison may prove to be to the colonies, it is clear that, so long as the present Home Secretary is in office, and a lneres to what he terms his nnitbrm rule," there is little chance of any cure being e IrectA of that ulcer of vice and ignorance which is eating into the heart of our social condition. The re marks of the Lord Mayor were re-echoed by the chief clerk, Mr. Goodman, who, with reference to the case then before the bench at the Mansion-house, declared teat though he had been but a short time in his present position, he had seen an infinity of similar in stasces. " There appeared, " he said, "no approach to in abatement of the evil, which was certainly one of the greatest ma .nitudo" And nothing but an effort of comprehensive character sviil cure such an enormous mischief. " There was no calamity," said the Lord Mayor, " comparable to that which sprung from that of bringing up youth in habits and practices of idleness and vice. The Legislature spent hours and days in discussing the principle of edu cation. Could the minds of the representatives of the people be more admirably, more benevolently employed, than in devising means of correcting the awful evil which was always before the eyes of the magistrate, and was almost as frequently encountered by men concerned "..o the ordinary transactions of life." We press these marks on our readers ; and, iu the language of Mr. Goodman, we could name more than one "benevolent high-minded man" in the House of Commons who might , ke up this question, make it his own, and, surmounting of once its obstacles and its difficulties, free us from the e,bsutality of having to concentrate the whole form and power of our criminal law upon a mere infant—an ab surdity almost as ludicrous as it would be to employ a locomotive engine in hunting down a butterfly. Dias PIIILUARMONIC SOCIETY.—The ninth anni - , rsary of this increasingly popular Society was celebrated the Crown Commercial Inn, on Tuesday last, the 30th ult., when upwards of fifty gentlemen sat down to a sump tuous dinner, served up in Mrs. Winkup's first-rate style. Mr. Thomas Farrow took the chair, and was supported right and left by the principal gentry of the town, who gave de nionstrative proof of the interest they felt in promoting the welfare and prosperity of the Society, by their liberal sub scription to its funds. A good dinner and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been duly disposed of, overtures, glees, songs, &c., followed each other in rapid succession. Among the former, the "Caliph of Bagdad' and "Figaro " were played with considerable spirit and precision, and each elicited well-merited approbation. "The Harvest Song," by Mr. Owen Whayman, organist of Eye Church, accompanied on the pianof .rte by Mr. Grey, organist of Dims Church, was beAatifully sung, and called forth raptures of applause ; _ as (lid also "Hurrah for the Gipsy's Jovial Life," sung by Mr. Charles Garrol iron -founder, of Eye, which was deservedly encored ; but the song of the evening was " The Pleasures of a Philharmonic Meeting," by Mr. J. B. Rix, which elicited ri - ifening and lasting shouts, and which added much to the Ll'arity of the evening. In fact, the whole of the entertain ments went off with eclat to the performers, and satisfaction to the company. The thanks of the meeting were unani m '.illy given to Mr. Redgrave, the talented Secretary, for hi. judicious arrangements, and for his zealous and indefati gable services duringthe past year.—From a Correspondent. A letter from the Hague, of the 26th ultimo, con tains ihe following :—" We have lately had great changes at Court. One of the King's aide-de-camps and two of the Queen's chamberlains have been dismis=ed. The aide-de camp Is Admiral Arriens, who was tutor to Prince Henry, the King's third son, who is now a full c ptain. The King is • aid to have been highly dis'atisfied with the manner in which he has brought up this young prince, whose cavalier manners show that he has been neglected and too much indulged. It is also rwnoured that Admiral Arriens had laid claim to the office of Miiister of Marine, hit M dis regard of this it was given to Admiral Ryk ; upon which Admiral Arriens so far forgot himself as to suffer discontent to exhale in expressions personally irreverent towards the King. The disgrace of Baron de. Mackay. the Queen's Chamb rlain, arose in the following manner':—At the in auguration of tt.e statue t f William the Taciturn. th, Queen and Princesses viewed the ceremony from the bale .ny of the alace. A slight rain came on, and the Quern requested the Laron, who was behind her, to procure her an umbrella. According to court etiquette it was the baron's duty to go himself, bring the umbrella, open it, and hold it over her Majesty's he The chamberlain, however, ordered a lacquey to doe hat he ought himself to have ' done. The Quf.'en said nothing at the time, but v ct,•emonv Baron de Mackay. received li t r i s t i d : ?Eh:, afterd isch arge the in imebtui - ene f n or , )un., office. The third dismissal is that of the Queen's other chamberlain, and who is his haring, while with the court at its last visit a g , L t° burg, appeared at the court entertainments without his oaf. dial costume and insignia." GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE.—Dscemmgm There seems to be a very good feeling this week, speculators looking forward to the French Legislature modifying their tariff r' garding foreign iron. Cash transactions, however, have been very few. In the present state of our market, three or four thousand tons forced, for cash, would not com mand 708.; while, on the other hand, were as large a quan tity wanted at once. 755. would require to be paid. One of our largest makers has this week (or end of last week) made a contract with a house in town for 2,000 tons, at 80s., paying a small deposit, the iron to be delivered when required. The sellers were open for further contracts at one shilling advance. The price we quote as 725. 6d. It may be interesting, at the close of the year, to note some of the fluctuations which have taken place : January price 655. to 70s. per ton. February ........ 90s. March ........ Porn this period till Ist June prices gra dually receded to June July August September / October From that time it has gradually fallen to the present quota tion of r „„ Bin% MR. NEWMAN.—The above gentleman, ether with several other clergymen who have lately left the :.itablislied Church, are making arrangements to take un . I).eir residence at old Oscott College, which is situate ,at one mile from the new establishment. The immediate ~1 ,3-ct of their removal to this residence is not stated, but it is believed that their stay is intended to be more than tem porary. Mr. Newman's library at Littlemore, which it is et'hi Consists of about 3,000 volumes of the choicest literary an d ecclesiastical works, is in progress of removal , an d exten sive alteratio ns are bein g' made at the above college for their reception. 578. 6d. 80e. 608.

We hear the respected Baronet died n Wednesday, at Thornton Hall, his seat, near iz il ° Yorkshire. He w as born in 1768, and married in 1804 Miss k. . daughter of Mr. Henry Dawkins, of h Wilts. On the death of his father, the fi nt h ...

Wm. Phillips, described as a watch-maker, residing in Wilsted-street, Somers-town, was finally examined on the charge of having stolen a quantity of bread, jam, pastry, wine, and other property, from the house of a gentleman named Thomas, a merchant, residing at No. 30, Porchester-terrace, Bayswater. The prisoner was stopped on Christmas-eve by Sedg wick, 210 D, with the articles in question in his posses sion, and as it was imagined that he came by them dishonestly, he was conveyed to the station-house; at his lodings other things belonging to prosecutor were found in a large trunk. The prisoner was committed. LAMBETH. Benjamin Brown, the railway projector, was brought before Mr. Henry for final examination. Mr. George Taylor, the assistant registrar of joint- Stock Companies, at the office, Sergeant's Inn, Fleet street, produced tw o vo l umes of the register of returns of the Joint-Stock Companies, registered under the Joint-Stock Companies' Act, the 7th and Bth Victoria. cap. 110, which contain all the returns relating to the London and Windsor Railway Company. There is no other railwaycompanyregistered bearing the same name, nor was there any railway company registered called the Prince of Wales' Oxford and London. He, witness, had carefully looked and found that there was no such com pany as that mentioned registered, nor did the name of Benjamin Brown appear in any of the papers relating to the London and Windsor Railway, either as promoter or provisional committeeman. _ _ _ Police-constable Edward Dixon, 85 L, deposed that after taking the prisoner into custody and while on their way to the station-house, the prisoner said " I can't think how Mr. Jacobs could be so cruel, when I have been so kind to him ; but never mind, let him do his best, he can only make a debt of it." The prisoner, by the advice given to him on the day before by his attorney, declined say ing anything, and was fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing session at the Central Criminal Court. During the progress of the examinatien Mr. Henry received a letter from a person in Woolwich, who stated that a correspondence had taken place between him and the prisoner on the subject of a situation of 300/. per annum, which Brown had offered to procure him on cer tain terms. Mr. Games, the solicitor for the prosecu tien, has also received a note from a person in Tooley• street to a similar effect, and the writers of both offer to come forward, if required, to give their evidence as to the transactions. White and Whiteside, who have been in custody for some days on a charge of selling packages of saw-dust to small tradesme❑ for tea and tobacco, were finally exa mined, and fully committed for trial Mr. Wontner, who attended on behalf of the prisoners, cross-examined the witnesses at some length, and made a very ingenious defence ; but Mr. henry thought the cases should go before a jury, and accordingly sent White upon two charges, and Whiteside upon one.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 1. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONELANQUE.) IN RE 110DGHINSON. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a slater in Western-street, Pentonville, came up for bis certificate, and was opposed on behalf of the assignees, on the ground that he had fraudulently made away with the whole of his property to one creditor. His debts were nearly 2,0001. The Solicitor to the assignees asked for an adjourn ment, until an action against the party to whom the property was made over had been tried. For the bankrupt it was urged that it would be much more beneficial to the creditors if the certificate was granted, as then the bankrupt would be a competent witness. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, that if an adjourn ment took place, the assignees must pay the costs. The Solicitor said the bankrupt came up of his own accord, and as his conduct had been anything but satis factory, it was hard to make the creditors bear the expense. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, that although the bankrupt came up of his own accord, the opposite party were bound to be prepared. A bankrupt ought not to be put to expense in such a case. The opposition was withdrawn. SECONDARIES' COURT, Jan. 1. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) BISGOOD V. DEMPSEY. This was an action brought on a bill of exchange, of which the defendant was the acceptor. The defendant did not deny his acceptance, but pleaded that the bill had not been endorsed by the drawer. The Rey. Benjamin Pratt, of St. Giles's Chapel, St. Pancras, was called, and proved that he knew Mr. Murphy, the drawer of the bill, and received it from him duly endorsed. He knew Murphy's hand-writing, and had seen him sign other bills. Verdict for the plaintiff. This was the only defended case. Great inconvenience arose in consequence of the parties in other causes not being present, and the cases were struck out of the list and the jury discharged. The S ECONDARY observed, that in writs of inquiry, the notice was, that they were to be executed between eleven and one ; the jury, however, would not be de tained, but if necessary, a jury of gentlemen in the neighbourhood should be called together. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. One of the partners of the firm of Crowley and Co., carriers, King-street, Smithfield, appeared before Mr. Alderman Challis, to answer the complaint of Charles James, for unlawfully detaining a carpet bag and its contents, booked at their office, to be sent to Chester. The complainant said the bag contained a suit of clothes and other things, intended for a boy, and was taken to Messrs. Crowley's, as general carriers, on the 2d of December. A receipt was taken, and three weeks elapsed before he heard that it had not reached its destination. The party at Chester made complaint there, and was assured it had not arrived. He now complained, therefore, that Messrs. Crowley had not for warded the bag, but detained it in London. The de fendant's negligence had obliged the parties in the coun try to buy new clothes, as the boy was coming to Lon don next week. The innkeeper said he was not at all to blame, and he did not detain the parcel. The Alderman was probably aware that the Grand Junction Railway Company was a monopoly, and would not allow the carriers to have separate trucks, and take care of their own goods. They were obliged to deliver them to the Company. He could prove the delivery of this carpet-bag to the Company, and he bad written for an explanation, but there had not been sufficient time to allow of investigation. The complainant made his first application on Christmas day, and a letter was addressed to the Company next day, to which no answer had yet been given, owing to increase of business incident to the season. He should have an answer in two or three days. These great com panies would not move in business at the steam engine pace. r„,The complainant asked if he was to be the sufferer because other people were dilatory ? Was not thirty days a monstrous time for a railway to do anything ? Mr. Alderman CHALLIS had no doubt the non-delivery of the parcel had occasioned very great inconvenience, which Messrs. Crowley regretted fully as much as he did; but the complainant could very easily understand that carriers of all descriptions were overburdened with busi ness just now. If the application had been made three weeks ago, there would have been time to look over the books and make inquiries immediately, but now they were so constantly engaged with the current business they had not time to refer to the past. The application for a little delay was, he thought, perfectly reasonable. The complainant said he should object to any delay. Next week he must buy the boy another suit of clothes. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said the innkeeper ought not to be called upon to do more than he could do. He couli not make slow bodies move quick. The complainant had better wait a few days longer. The complainant said he had waited too long already. He would instantly commerce an action. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said, if the complainant would not be assisted by an adjournment he must dis miss the complaint. The complainant retired, vowing he would bring an action. BOW-STREET. An errand boy, named Robert Mitchell, in the service of Mr. Cox, of 29, Southampton -street, Covent-garden, was charged with stealing 171, the produce of a cheque entrusted to him by his master. Mr. Cox merely stated that the boy, on being sent to his banker's with a cheque for the above amount, ob tained the money, appropriated it to his own purposes, and then absconded.—He was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Heald, a lad in the service of Mr. Duddy, butcher, Drummond-street, was summoned by the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty , to Animals, for having wantonly and cruelly ill-treated and beaten an ox. John Ditton, constable, in the service of the Society, said he saw the defendant, on Monday last, beating an ox over the head with a bludgeon about as thick as his wrist, and with a spike at each end. The defendant struck the animal with his full force over the nose, caus ing the blood to flow freely. Next he struck a blow over the eye, which caused a swelling as big as a fist ; and, lastly, he struck the animal on the hock, and brought it instantly to the ground. Witness had never seen an animal beaten with greater cruelty. The defendant denied the charge. The ox and a companion had been driven from the country to be slaughtered, but when near the slaughter-house, being very wild, they ran off different ways. Defendant fol lowed one of the animals through a great number of streets, and was obliged to hit it occasionally to prevent it doing mis-hief. The animal ran into a bakers shop, and was with difficulty got out. In fact, it was so will that it was found necessary to have it slaughtered as soon as possible. The brother of the defendant said defendant was a very humane character, and could get a character from different master butchers with whom he had lived, to that effect. Mr. HARDWICK said, there ought to be some other means adopted to get beasts into the slaughter-house than the ordinary practice of driving them through the streets to the manifest peril of the passengers. It was intolerable that drovers should be allowed to beat and half kill animals on the public streets to get them to en ter the slaughter-houses. It was evident that according to the present system it was necessary to use some de• gree of violence with the animals intended for slaughter, but then the public must not be disgusted by those scences of cruelty which too frequently took place. Mr. Thomas, the secretary, said the behaviour of the drovers was often the occasion ofmaddening the wretched animals under their charge. In fact, they appeared in many instances to consider it quite a pleasure to irritate and beat an animal of more than ordinary wildness. The defendant's brother said, even if the beating about the head had taken place as described by the constable, still the only being aggrieved would be the defend-int% master, as the bruises would deteriorate the value of the meat. Mr. HARDWICK thought that the sufferings of the poor animal ought not entirely to be left out of con sideration. The defendant's master said be killed the ox, and he Nvs.!i_e r ertain there were no bruises on it.

The cue was remanded, but bail to the amount of 201. was received for the prisoner's appearance at this Court on a future day. MARYLEBOIVE. Mary Ann Judd, a young woman, living in Stephen street, Lisson- grove . was c h arge d w i t h h av i ng sto l e n a bundle containing a q uan tity o f li nen , & c ., from little boy, named Henry Woodman, only nine years of age. The child deposed that on Monday last, as he was going home with a bundle of things which he had brought from Charlotte -street, Fitzroy-square, for his mother to wash, he Was accosted in the New-road by the prisoner. who asked him if his name was Wood • man ; he told her it was, and after she h a d p u t a f ew other questions t o him tespeoting his mother, she sud denly snatched the bundle from him and ran off with it ; the robbery took place at the corner of Quebec-street. It further appeared that the prisoner was well known to the polite, and that Grimwood, wbo had been constantly upon the look out for her during the last few days, suc ceeded in securing her yesterday morning, in Stingo-lane. None of the stolen property had yet been found. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the rob. be ry, was rem and ed lin tillw Thursday between nex 40 and 50 y ears t.

London: Printed and Publi s hed by 111URDO YOUNG, °s No. 112, Strand, Printer, at The Sun effice, No. l` o f Strand, in the Precinct of the Savoy, in the Gyula Middlesex, Saturday, January 3, 1844. SOUTH TVA RK. Wm. Gibln was charged with being concerned with two other men is robbing Daniel Haines, belonging to the Great Western Railway, of a watch, under the fol lowing circumstances. From the complainant's statement, it appeared that on the night of the 13th of July last he alighted from the Brighton train at the London-bridge terminus, and on passing along the Borough, near St. George's Church, he was acco , ted by two women. He accompanied them to a wine-vaults in the neighbourhood, and while he was in the act of paying for the refreshment with which he treated them, one of them managed to slip out of the house with his great coat, which he had previously placed on a bench whilst taking out his purse. When he missed the woman and the garment he immediately went out into the street, and us he was standing underneath the gas-lamp three men rushed upon him, one of whom snatched a valuable watch out of his waistcoat pocket, the foroe with which it was pulled breaking the chain, a portion of which was left hanging round his neck. The three men having accomplished the robbery ran away, pursued by a policeman named Delaney, of the H division, who was near the spot at the time, and he followed them along Birdcage-alley, but they ulti mately succeeded in making their escape. He, however, from the light a the lamps, had a full opportunity of distinguishing two of the men, one of whom he had no doubt was the prisoner, whom he had previously known, and the other was a man who went by the nickname of "Lucky," who was also well known to the police; and the prisoner would have been secured at the time if he had not slipped his arms out of a blouse he wore, the policeman having had hold of it upon the occasio . . Although the prisoner was so well known on that side of the water, yet he could not be found at any of his usual haunts, and from that circumstance it was supposed he had left London altogether in order to escape detection. On Monday night, however, he was discovered lurking about the end of Gray's Inn-lane, and immediately taken into custody. In the course of the examination it was stated that the prisoner belonged to a gang of thieves, who for a length of time infested the south side of the river, and that some time since he was tried and con victed at the Central Criminal Court, and had under g me a long imprisonment for his offence. Mr. Roberts, on the part of the prisoner, cross-ex amined the witnesses, with a view to show that they might have been mistaken in the prisoner's identity, owing to the fact of its having been night at the time of the robbery. The policeman, however, spoke with con fidence on the point, but the complainant admitted that owing to the suddenness of the attack, and the gas-light having been extinguished at the moment the three men rushed at him, he could not on that account speak with the same degree of certainty to the persons of his assailants. The MAGISTRATE said that he should commit the pri soner for trial but that it would be necessary to have him brought up again on Saturday to-day, in order to have the depositions taken. THAMES. Mrs. Sarah Baker was charged on a peace warrant with using threatening language towards Mr. Jacob Baker, her brother-in-law. Mr. Pelham appeared for the complainant, who carries on business as a bake:, in High-street, Bromley. The defendant was the wife of his brother, a painter and glazier, in High -street, Stratford. On Sunday, the 14th of December, the defendant knocked at Mr. Baker's door, and asked his wife where Jacob Baker was. She answered that he was at home, and the defendant told her she had brought him his two children, and he must support them ; at the same time forcing them into the pas,age. Mr. Baker on hearing this came out of his room, and said the children were none of his, but his brother's. The defendant said the complainant was the father of them, and demanded a weekly allowance for their support, and added that she would compel him to maintain his offspring. The complainant said if she had any grounds for charging him with being the father of her children, to appeal to the law, and told her to go about her business, for the children were none of his. The defendant said, before she replied to the charge she would request her husband, who was seated at the solicitors' table near her, to withdraw, as what she had to say was not fit for him to hear. The husband said he would not leave the Court—he would hear all. The defendant then repeated that Jacob Baker, and not her husband, was the father of the children. The complainant was then examined at great length by his solicitor, and he said he believed the accusation was made to extort money from him. He had lodged with his brother and sister-in• law, but he never paid her any particular attentions, nor was he ever guilty of any impropriety with her. His sister-in-law had annoyed him before, and he caused her to be taken before the Il ford Bench, and the Magistrates had warned her not to annoy him again. Ultimately, Mr. BALLANTINE expressed his belief that the woman was labouring under a delusion, or else her object was to extort money from her brother-in-law. She might settle other matters with her husband, but he would not have the peace broken, and would require bail for her future good behaviour. The defendant, after being locked up four hours, put in bail, her own husband, who is a housekeeper, being accepted as one of the sureties. George Pullen and William Martin, who surrendered upon bail, and John Cruse, who appeared for the first time, and gave himself up, were charged with assaulting and robbing John S. Harris, on the 10th of Nov. last. After a tedious discussion, Mr. Pelham said he had a complete answer to the case, which he knew must go to the sessions, and Mr. BALLANTINE, who would not entertain the charge of robbery, held all the defendants to bail, to answer at the next se , sions a charge of assaulting, beating, and wounding Harris.

ACCEPTABLE PRESENTB.—Thepresent is hallo we d by one of the most delightful offices of friendship and affection ; the interchange of gifts as remembrances of the donors, and tokens of their esteem for the receivers. The most appro priate present becomes the first subject of consideration; 4 merely useful one can afford no evidence of taste, while a p re _ sent possessing no claims to utility, shows a want of judgment. To combine these requisites, _a more fitting souvenir cannot b e suggested than Rowland's Toilet Articles, the Macassar Oil, Kalyder, and Odoon, each of infallible attributes, In creating and sustaining luxuriant silken tresses, Rowland's Macessar Oil is highly and universally appreciated; Rowland's Kalydor is a preparation of unparalleled efficacy in improving and beauti fyit", the Skin and Complexion ; and Rowland's Odinto, or Pearl Dentifrice, is invaluable f r its beautifying and preser- Vative effects on the Teeth and Gums.
