Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a. testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Syron-street, Borough, takes this oppor tualty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimatone, of the Herbary, High gate, for the efficacy et his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than it ever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair In abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to Curl. The most delicate ladies may tee this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; Its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of novena headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the erovrn of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on ebilaren's heads in a few appplicatlons. If used on infants' Leads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair. *See pamphlet of testimonials• All lettera adtirialta to William Grinutoue Horbary, litragity.

From various circumstances that have recently occurred, we think we are now:able to form something like a true estimate of the relative positions which the great Eng lish railway companies will ultimately maintain in sup plying the public with railway accommodation. Let us state the facts, and draw a few practical inferences. The London and North-Western evidently aims at securing the principal traffic between London and John o'Groat's. To accomplish this the main lines to Scotland have been leased, and the key to the command of 'the traffic farther north has thus been secured. We have the best authority for stating that arrangements are nearly completed, by which the London and North- Western will extend directly to Aberdeen. Now, ob serve what a powerful hold this gives to that company. The Caledonian will form a continuation of the Lan caster and Carlisle in a straight line northward to a point midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow, branching off right and left to both these cities, while it joins the Scottish. Central, and continues right on by Stirling to Perth, and thence by the Scottish Midland to Friockhem, the southern terminus of the railway from Aberdeen. At this point the Grampian-hills practi cally shut out any other project on the east side thus far north, and consequently the great stream of traffic in this direction to the southward and northward must pass over the Aberdeen line. From Aberdeen the Great North of Scotland conducts to Inverness, and the Northern Counties to the seaport and inland towns of Caithness. The Great North of Scotland, being an ex tension of the Aberdeen line, if the London and North- Western command the fornier it is bound also to lease the latter, and hence the whole of the east coast and central district of Scotland will be linked in the great iron chain. Having got access to Edinburgh by the most direct route, it will, no doubt, be a comparatively easy matter to secure as many links in that direction as will serve to strengthen the position of the company in that locality, so that the east coast of Scotland may be fairly • said to be now in its hands. The branch of the Caledonian that leads to Glasgow will give the London and North- Western a perfect command of the west coast traffic. The Caledonian leased the Caledonian Northern Direct, for which a Bill was obtained last session, and as this line is joined" by the Scottish Grand Junction, which leads from Dumbarton to Oban, and thence by the Cale• donian Canal and Great North-Western to Fort William and Inverness, both of which projects, if made, would no doubt come under the same management, the com mand of the whole traffic on the west coast would thus be secured. It is clearly evident that this is what the London and North-Western is driving at, and if it secure such a position, what a tremendous power will be in its hands ! First, it will have a main trunk line direct from London to Scotland of upwards of 300 miles; then a right arm encompassing the whole 'of the east coast, and a left arm embracing the entire circuit of the west, joining hands at A point that enables it virtually to include the whole country, auel practi cally to defy opposition. Within the territory of this giant monopolist, when once he gets a chartered right to govern, there will be a power exercised, either for good or evil, of which no real estimate, can at present be formed. While the London and North-Western thus seeks to reign centrevvardly in the foreground, and circumferen tially in the *distance, " the Railway King" aims to es tablish himself in the east, and there reign without a rival. Having linked the Great North of England to the Eastern Counties and Midland line, he pushes on from Newcastle to Berwick, and from:Berwick to Edin burgh, in one unbroken chain. The North British at one time essayed to get a footing northward, and hoped to get forward by means of the Edinburgh and Perth; but the leasing of the Scottish Central and Midland by the London and North-Western appears to have ren-. dered ,that prospect doubtful. Had the Edinburgh and Perth and Perth:and Inverness secured Bills last session, the North British, it is understood, would have worked its way to the capital of the Highlands, and thus given competing lines to Scotland from end to end; but as the one failed from defective plans, and the other on the merits, there is not much chance that either will be re vived at least for some time again. Mr. Hudson will, therefore, for the present have to confine himself to the east coast and .midland counties in which there is room and verge enough truly for him to reign. Leaving the Railway King in the east, the London and North-Western in • the centre, we now .come to the Great Western, whose territory would now appear to lie more than ever to the west. With one competing line from London to Birkenhead the public interests would be pretty well secured; but while this is so far likely to be realised by the London and Oxford and Birmingham and Oxford Junction, the leasing of the Shropshire line gives command of another district to the London and North-Western, by which the Great Western will be again thrown back. To compensate for this, the broad gauge seeks to betake itself more largely to the west side, and Wales; and if amalgamations and leasings are to be worked out there as they are being worked out in the centre, and on the east coast, the Great Western will be able to boast of an extensive and important domain. Here then we have "great facts" before us in the railway world—three great companies, all in process of consolidation, and whose individual and separate interests cannot be said to be directly under public,control. Were theyiso situate that publicly " the interest of one" would necessarily be "the interest of all," and the "interest of all the interest of each," their consolidation would be a subject of small concern; but the constituent elements of the three are not exactly those of the vox populi, and therefore lex suprema must be administered by other bands. Whether these will be rightly guided, and by whom they are to be controlled, are questions yet to be settled. l ; . . NELSON RELICS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—There is nothing either foolish or fanatical in the curiosity and interest which all men feel about relics and souvenirs of distinguished men, provided they be genuine and authentic. The sword alleged to have been worn by Nelson at Trafalgar, and just presented by Lord Saye and Sele to Greenwich Hospital, would be an object of well merited interest and worthy of being enshrined in that noble institution, did it not, unfortunately, lack the proper evidence of authenticity, and, in spite of the war ranty given it by the curiosity-dealer, prove to be more probably the dress-sword of Mr. Alderman Smith. The relic, therefore, has been most wisely declined by the authorities, as a more fitting trophy for Guildhall than Greenwich Hospital. By the good taste and munificence of his Royal High ness Prince Albert the undoubted coat in which Nelson fell is in possession of that institution, and forms an ob. ect of great interest to the thousands who visit the Painted Hall. It is much to be regretted that the bullet also which killed him, and which bears an undisputed pedigree, should not be placed in the same keeping. On the death of Sir W. Beattie, who extracted it from the body of the hero, and ever afterwards wore it about his person, it was natural to expect he should have be queathed it to Greenwich Hospital, where he was many years physician ; but, dying intestate, the relic fell to his brother, who loyally presented it to the Crown. There could not be a more popular and graceful accom paniment to Prince Albert's gift of Nelson's coat than if her Majesty should see fit to be pleased to present the fatal bullet to Greenwich Hospital ; which then, instead of being locked up at Windsor, would be visited from time to time by millions of her Majesty's loyal subjects. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GRENOVICENSIS. THE HOLBORN IMPROVEMENTS.—Circumstances are favourable at this moment to the improvement of Ilolborn, and it is to be hoped will be taken advantage of. The official referees have just now confirmed the condemnation of some of the houses in .Middle-row, unless certain specified works, amounting almost to a rebuilding, be done ; and this, therefore, is the right time to treat for their purchase, with the view of getting rid of the whole block of houses which now stand so much in the way. To suffer them to be rebuilt, and the nuisance perpetuated, would be really disgraceful. In Field lane, too, as our readers know, many of the houses are to come down. / ~!~ ~i S TT Ng NOVEMBER 17, 1846. PRICE SD. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. NOVEDIBER 14.

NAVAL AIDES-DE-CAMP TO THE QUEEN: The following officers have been appointed to the dis tinguished honour of aide-de-camp to the Queen, in the room of Captains Hope, Sir S. J. B. Pechell Hornby, Sir F. Collier, Sir C. Napier, and Sir F. B. R. Fellow, re cently promoted:— Captain Maurice Frederick Fitzhardinge Berkeley, C.B. (1814), one of the Lords of the Admiralty. Captain Morgan Crofton (1814). Captain Sir George Rose Sartorius (1814). Captain Arthur Fanshawe, C.B. (1816). Captain Lord John Hay, C.B. (1818), one of the Lords of the Admiralty. Captain Sir George Augustus Westphal, Kat. (1819). Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H. (1824), has also been appointed an extra aide •de=gamp to . her __: • - Majesty. The senior naval aides-de-camp to the . Queen are Captain Sir Andrew Pellatt Green, Knt., (1814), and Captain Edward H. A'Court (1811). The marine aides•dc-camp are Colonel Thomas A. Parke, C. 8., and Colonel John Owen, C.B. The good-service pension, which again reverted to the Admiralty on the promotion of Captain Philip Browne, has been bestowed on Commodore Daniel Pring (1815), second in command on the West India station, having his broad pendant flying on board the Imauni at Jamaica. Three of the captains' out-pensions of Greenwich Hos pital, relinquished on promotion, have bein conferred on the following officers : Captain George Hayes (1829), a brother of the late distinguished Admiral Hayes, a lieutenant of 1793, and commander of 1814. When lieutenant in command of the Experiment, lugger, he beat off a French brig and two row-boats of superior force ; was. lieutenant of the the Lively, in St. Vincent's action ; and commanded the Daring, gun-brig, in the expedition to Flushing in 1809. Captain Edward Sparshott, K.H. (1830), a lieutenant of 1807, and commander of 1821. He was lieutenant o f the Niobe at the attack on two French frigates under the batteries of La Hogue, 1810 ; and destruction of Amazone off Cape Barfleur, 1811 ; and first lieutenant of a number of ships, and among them of the Rochefort, with Sir Thomas Freemantle ; captain of Winchester, and rendered important services in quelling an insurrec tion on the coast of Malabar in 1837, where, however, he had the misfortune to receive a comi - de soleil. Captain Samuel Burgess (1830), a lieutenant of 1799, and a commander of 1816, a most distinguished officer as a lieutenant. He was midshipman of the Impreg• liable in Howe's action, and of the Isis in the expedition to the Helder; senior lieutenant of the Sylph, when she twice beat off the French frigate Artemise; and com manded the Carteret cutter in the attack on Granville, in 1803; lieutenant of . the Prince at Trafalgar; and commanded the Pincher, gun-brig, at the destruction of the batteries at Cuxhaven and Gessendorf. Subse quently ho was flag lieutenant to Lord Exmouth on board the Queen Charlotte, at Algiers. Vice-Admiral Sir F. W. Austen, the commander-in• chief in the West Indies, as we stated he would, left Halifax in his flag- ship the Vindictive, 50, Captain Stanley, on the 21st ult., for Bermuda. The Vesuvius, steam-sloop, Commander O'Callaghan, left Halifax two days before for the same port. Commander Sir James J. Gordon Bremer, K,C.H., K.C.8., appointed to Woolwich bockyard, it is ex pected, will likely come up to Sheerness in the Terrible steam-frigate, on his way to Woolwich, and will there fore keep his broad pendant flying until that time. The Admiralty have offered Sir Gordon-this alternative. Captain Houston Stewart, C. 8., the newly-appointed Comptroller General of the Coast Guard, entered upon thecodmutrnieasnodferhiisieonffirycejyamesetes La con (1842), a lieutenant of 1835, who was lieutenant of the Castor, 36, in her operations on the north coast of Spain, and senior of the Blonde frigate, at Chins, to the conclusion of the war, has been appointed to the Vanguard, 80, vice. Barton, promoted. Lieutenants Arthur - Grose (1815) has been appointed to the Victory, 104,, ordinary guardship at Portsmouth. F. E. Forbes (1843), of the Wolf, 18, at China, to the 1 Penelope, steam-frigate. Mate J. J. O'Ferral Carmichael has been appointed to the Penelope steam-frigate. Second Master J. B. Read has been appointed to the Excellent, 48, gunnery-ship at Portsmouth, vice Wallis promoted: • The St. Vincent, 120, Captain A. Milne, flag-ship of Sir C. Ogle, at Portsmouth, is ready at that port, but is , at least 50 seamen short of her complement. The Queen, 110, Captain Sir H. Lecke, flag-ship at Devonport, has her full harbour complement of 760. She had her lower rigging set up and her maintopmast pointed on Saturday, and will be ready to leave the har bour on Wednesday. She is ordered by the Admiralty into the Sound, where she is to be paid wages, and to be kept ready for sea at the shortest notice. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, fitting at Portsmouth, will not be ready for sea before the 6th of next month. She is more than 100 short of her com plement of 430. The Belleisle, 20, two-decked troop-ship, Captain Kingcome, at the Nero, has drawn charts for the Medi terranean station and the South American station, and is ready, to sail for Plymouth, to make her complement of 290, of which she is about 25 short, and to receive orders. The Crocodile, 26, will be ready for sea at Ports mouth, on the 26th inst. She will most probably resume her old station as flag-ship, at Cork. The Rose, 18, Commander Pelly, arrived at the Little Nore on Sunday at noon, and saluted the flag of Sir Edward King. Orders for paying her off at Sheerness were waiting her, and she will go into harbour for that purpose. Her complement is 130. The Columbine, 16, sloop, Commander (now Captain) Booth was at Bahia, from. Chatham, on her way to the East Indies, Sept. 30, repairing damages, having sprung her bowsprit on her passage out. As she is one of the " intuitive" vessels, we presume that the bowsprit was rotten, and was only intended to last exactly up to the time when it was sprung. _ _ The Albatross, is, Commander Farquhar, hoisted the pendant at Chatham on Thursday last. ller comple ment is now 120, 10 less than before. The Mutine, 12, Commander Tryon, was yesterday towed from Chatham to the Nore. She is ordered to proceed to Spithead to have her compasses adjusted, and will then be paid advance and proceed to the Mediter ranean to relieve the Syren, 16. This brig, as we have before stated, has 120 men, her complement having been increased by 10. She has been six weeks in com mission. The Raven, 3, cutter, Commander Stephen, will be paid off this day at Sheerness, and will then have her defects made good, and be re-commissioned. The Seagull, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant Commander Dickens, was paid wages at Devonport on Saturday, and will be ready to sail fur Falmouth on Wednesday. The Belvidere, frigate store-ship, Captain Layton, is to be paid advance at Deptford, and is to proceed without delay with her provisions to the west coast of Scotland, where she is to be stationed as a provision depot for the distressed population of the Highlands. The Andromeda, store-frigate, Commander Gilbert, is ordered to be sent from Cork to Killybegs, there to be moored as a provision depOt for that part of the coast of Ireland. The Andromache, store-frigate, Master Commander Thompson, has been ordered from Cork to Galway, there to be moored as a provision depot for that portion of the coast of Ireland. _ _ _ The Naiad, old 46 gun-frigate, Master Commander Langton Brown, fitting at Portsmouth as a store-ship, for Valparaiso, will be ready when she has r ece i ve d h er guns and anchors, and has been painted. The Terrible, steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, as soon as her defects are made good at Devonport, is ordered to Portsmouth. to land the Royal Marines belonging to that division, and then to Sheerness, with those belonging to Chatham. She is to wait further orders at the latter place. The Terrible has some defects, which arose from an accident, and will take four days to make good. The upper part of the framework near the inner bearing on the port side, in consequence of the two main beams having shrunk, has severed ; consequently she was obliged to come on with one engine only, and under these circumstances reached Devonport, from Lisbon, with 600 marines comfortably stowed, on the night of Thursday last, having left Lisbon on the previous Thur°a fit . t . at TheTenelope, steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, fitting Ports Mouth, for Sir C. Hotham's broad p endant on the coast of Africa, is daily picking up her cr ew by twos and threes. Her complement is 260, to make up which she requires at least 80 petty officers and seamen. Originally we believe she had above 400 men, but the great mistake in her " conversion" obliged them to reduce the number to 320; and these she could•not properly stow. She has now a less number of ginis, and will therefore be efficient with a less number of naep.. , The Kroomen which she dill get on the coast will fill up her number to above 300. The Gorgon, steam frigate,. Commander Crouch, ar rived at Falmouth from Monte Video, has been ordered to Woolwich to be paid off, having been in commission since November, 1842. Her master, just promoted, and the Assistant-Surgeon Evan Evans, are the only officers' on board who have been in her during the whole tirue., It is well known that but for Sir C. Hotham, her late gallant captain, and his equally gallant officers and crew, this vessel, or her wreck, would have never left the shore of South America. _! 1 , GOVERNOR OF 130211)1 YA: Y. TO THA I EDITOR OF THE SUN: - Snt,—l was Plea Sod to observe that your attention had been drawn to the trimmer in which the chairman of the Board of Directors' the East India Cempany has dis posed of his Oatronage.„Thme menilishaVe elapsed since the vacancy in the litgrt.thent"orltombay occurred. At length, after the town had been inundated for weeks N, •eith reports of various appointments, a gentleman, not now - , in Europe and himself unconsulted, is fixed upon ; ii - b e i n 'e: coffidently believed at the same time by the best he will not .(tecei" informed nerOns, that from ill-health, or other causes, this East Inditr c atma g e is disposed of. Should the question be explain to the public the mode in which Sir, if you woOld t the appointment. I would thank you, sic fulls° of the chair,ordinary directors, he forthwith informs y'ou, that at he knows nothing of the matter, but that it entireslY pends upon the sic vole cut . to one of the .

W. ,Hogg, who, from his naturally political prejudices, naturally prefers a Ta'iy to a man of liberal politics ; but if, from any untoward accident, a Tory appointment for the moment should be found premature, or inconvenient, he will so arTange it that a temporary substitute, or warming pan, may be introduced, till the more convenient opportunity my arise. But, at all events, appoint whom he may, such a man will declare war to the knife against any one of any liberal tendencies or comprehensive views, be he even so cautious, reflecting or wise. The people of Eng land have a great and national interest in the commer cial prosperity of our Eastern empire ; but they do not deem this the only object worth striving after, nor will they tolerate such a course. They know that men who ' have cautiously, but wisely, and firmly, and svccessfully, lent their 'aid to work out benefits for the mother coun try, are not less likely to succeed in procuring great advantages for our colonial dependencies. • They know thatthe man who, with these views, would also seek to improve the moral and political condition of our Indian possessions, has a claim upon their support, which neither partialities, nor prejudices, nor intrigues, shall, or can, defer. A PROPRIETOR OF , STOCK. RELATING TO THE HEROINE AND THE FOR TITUDE OF LYNN. Nov. 12.—Dispatches were received at Lloyd's from the Admiralty and Foreign-office : the former announces the Arrival at Victoria, North Australia, on the 11th of May, of the Enchantress schooner, having on board the master and remaining part of the crew and passengers of the brigantine Heroine, wrecked in Torres Straits, on the 24th of April last, with loss of eight lives ; the latter advises that the master of the brig Gipsy, of Greenock, had reported to her Majesty's Consul at Oporto having fallen in with the wreck of the Fortitude, of Lynn, on the 20th of October last in lat. 46 44 N., 10ng.i26 W., with no one on board. • PRESERVATION OF LIFE AT SEA.-CAPTAIN COUCH'S SAFETY CHANNELS. Captain Couch, of the Royal Navy, has submitted to Government and public bodies interested in maritime affairs a plan for the preservation of life and property at sea. It consists in fitting vessels with solid safety chan nels, upon a patented principle, by . which, when a ship is dismasted, the wreck can be quickly and safely de tached without injury to the vessel. By the old plan of fitting channels, when a vessel is dismasted, she runs great danger of being stove in by the masts thumping under her bottom before the wreck can be cut away ; this arises from tho chain plates to which the dead eyes are attached falling below the surface of the water, when much dangerous delay ensues before all can be cut clear. By Captain Couch's plan the chain plates never alter their position, so that the rigging can be cut aw:.y im mediately from on board. At a meeting of the Com mittee of the General Shipowners' Society, held on Tues day, Captain Couch having personally attended and sub mitted to the notice of the Committee models of his plan of fitting " solid channels " to ships, together with seve ral documents and testimonials which he had received from different persons on the subject, it was resolved,— " That the Committee are precluded, by the constitution of thti society, from expressing in their collective capa city ay opinion on the plan of Captain Couch, but that he be info - rated that it is considered by several mem bers vho are practically acquainted with nautical sub jects as calculated to give additional security to the chan nels, and, in the events of the masts of a ship being car ried away, greatly to' facilitate clearing the wreck, and consequently to preserve life and property in such cases. 7 •,' \t CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday, at one o'clock, Mr. Mills, the deputy coroner, and a highly respectable- jury, assembled at the private residence of the late Thomas Massa Alsager, Esq., who died on• the previous day from the effects of wounds which he had inflicted on himself. After the jury had been sworn, _ _ The•CORO - NER said,—Gentlemen, your first duty will be to view the body of the deceased, which lies in an other room. You will find three wounds or cuts in the throat,la small one on, the extremity of the left side, one on the jaw, and a larger one on the chin. You' will also find a very considerable one on the wrist, extending in length about two inches and a half and very deep, which must haire been very painful and caused great loss of blood. . , The i jury then proceeded to the bedroom of the de ceased,!and upon Lheir return William Wentworth, greengrocer, of N0..31, Devon shire-street, Elizabeth Perry, cook, and Eliza Bowther, housemaid to the deceased, were sworn. From their evidence it appeared, that on the morning of last Friday week, the deceased not appearing at the usual hour, the cook went up, and the deceased in a faint voice desired her to come in. The curtains were drawn, and seeing what hld happened, she ran out and called in assistance Wentworth came, and attended on. the deceased until his death. Last Thursday the deceased made his will, which Wentworth attested. The deceased never made the slightest allusion to any cause which induced him to commit the act. Mr. G. F. Whidbourne, of No. 60, Gower-street, sur geon, deposed that when he was called in he considered the deceased to be dead. lle was to all appearance life less, and remained so for three hours. The usual reme dies were applied, and upon the deceased rallying ho appeared to be in a favourable condition. Last Thurs day the deceased desired witness to get his pocket-book, and against witness's wish gave him a cheque for 1001., saying that his family were well provided for. About three hours before the death of deceased he was delirious. •Previous to that witness believed that the deceased was perfectly rational and of sound mind. Ile was a man of very superior strength of mind. In witness's opinion death was caused by exhaustion from loss of blood. Miss Margaret Alsager deposed that upon the morn ing of last Thursday week her father lett his residence at Kingston. He had, at times, appeared much de pressed, which was attributed to the death of her mother. The deceased had always repudiated the idea of suicide, and when he left said that he should come down by the last train on Friday night. Mr. Oxenford, solicitor, and nephew of the deceased, saw Mr. Alsager on Thursday week, when he was very low-spirited. Witness attributed the . lowness to some of the occupations of the deceased having ceased. A juror—What were his occupations?

Mr. Oxenford said he was very anxious to give every information he possibly could. The juror —Was he not connected with the Times? Mr. Oxenford—Yes; the deceased wrote the City ar ticles; and having tendered his resignation, it was ac cepted. When witness met him there was a lowness of spirits, but it certainly did not arise from anything that had occurred with the Times, further than that an ac tive mind was thrown out of its employment. Mr. Mrus said that he had caused the inquiry to go further than he ought, for the purpose of affording an opportunity for the strictest investigation.

The accused was taken into custody, and was 3 esterday morning, before the case came before the croner's jury, committed by the magistrates at the Thames Police-court, for man slaughter. The evidence before the jury was very lengthy and contradictory, it being sworn positively by one witness, named Ann Cook, that a violent kick was given by Duggan; on the other hand, three witnesses said they did not see any kicks given. The jury, after two hours' deliberation, returned a verdict of " Man slaughter against John Duggan."
