JOHN GOSNELL and CO., Bull Wharf, Ro therhithe, London, Perfumers to her Majesty, respect fully offer to the public this truly marvellous which gradually restores the human hair to its pristine hue—no matter at what age.

Price one guinea per bottle, or in half bottles, lOs. 61. Testimonials from artistes of the highest order, and from Individuals of undoubted re spectability, may be seen on application. Messrs.

Last year no fewer han 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected from want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have been sent away in five years. Here are brief details of a few of the most recent cases: F. v., aged 16, fallen, mother dead, deserted by her father. M. A. F., aged 13, homeless, both parents dead.

Smith, Payne, and Smiths, 1, Lombard- street, E:C, The mode of admission to the House is twofold, Ist. By election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years ot age. With the view to secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description or each case, as care fully investigated by the Committee, antt with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, Mt. It was designed to take is the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify the.n for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the It€fuges. Such are those who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is reom for nearly 10% and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once; they only wait for the neces.ary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her ramify paupers for lite because one of them (the naughty boy ot the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not 1p her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to " run away," none of us shou' d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police stalls. ics; which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of atze, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and selt-help, be permanent burdens to tht State.- he Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Ins iturion presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to scho ,1 work—reading, and writing, and ciphering', and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in objects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in lire, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white i aper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c othes, &c. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working Hie. 2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of admission.

On Wednesday ten companies of the 85th King's Light infantry, under the command of Major Appleyard, left the North Camp Station, Alder shot, and proceeded by train to Manchester and Chester. The remaining two companies of the re giment were ordered on Saturday to proceed to Newcastle-on-Tyne. On Thursday the 21st Royal North British Fusi liers, under the command of Lieut.-Col. J. R.

The coffin containing the body of the de ceased officer arrived atthe Landport railway station from London at 11 30 a.m. The 87th, comprising 359 officers and men, were drawn up in line facing the station, under the command of Major T. Lyons, and received the remains of its l a t e commander with presented arms. The coffin was placed on a gun carriage drawn by six horses, and the funeral cortege then proceeded from the railway to the Southsea cemetery, marching in slow time with the bands of the 87th and 52d Regiments, playing the Dead March in Saul. Arriving at the gates of the cemetery the 87th halted and faced inwards, resting on reversed arms and forming a line, through which the cortege passed into the burial ground. The service at the chapel and the grave was read by the Rev. T. H. St. George, 8.D., chaplain to the Forces. Three volleys of musketry, with as many rolls on the drums, concluded the ceremony. Her Majesty's ships Galatea, 26 guns, Capt. Roch ford Maguire, sailed from Port Royal, Jamaica, Nov. 29, for Bermuda, Halifax, and Plymouth, to be paid off. She embarked previously a wing of the 2d Battalion of the 17th Regiment for Halifax, the officers and crew of the Delight gunboat for Ber muda, and the officers and crew of the Bulldog for England.

Mr. Beardslee has recently been occupied at Chatham in making the prelimi nary arrangements for some further additional ex periments on a much more extended scale than any previously undertaken, with the object of further demonstrating the importance of the new agency for the destruction of forts and vessels of war.

The gross proceeds of the former (with a number of im portant cases yet unsettled) was $21,829,543 96, and the value 91 the voseele destroyed at bad $7,000,000. Fashions for January. (From Le Follet.) Although the winter season has advanced, the fashion of wearing an entire toilette of the same material is still adopted. Of course; there are only certain materials which is admissible. Cloth, or woollen materials, are thus worn ; but perhaps nothing is more suitable for this than a kind of velvet, called " Velours de Londres"—it is less ex pensive even than taffetas, and makes a more thorough winter's costume. It may be trimmed . either with passe menterie, guipure, or fur. For visits of ceremony, a dress of satin, with a small casaque of the same, trimmed with fur, is exceedingly elegant. Our subscribers will, just now, be the most anxious to know what is a la mode for evening and ball-dresses ; there fore, just mentioning a few favourite materials for these purposes, we will proceed to our long and choice list of toilettes. _ White tarlatanes, with double zig-zags or interlacings of coloured ruching, are in favour, abovo all, those spotted with gold or pearl, or with stars of gold or glass. Another pattern meeting with much favour is that of flies or birds in black and gold, blue and gold, red and sil ver, &c. _ Many rich foulards are made in stripes of colour on a white ground, or dotted over with small designs. Ball dresses, of thin material, are frequently. ade with tunics caught up by ribbons, cords, or trails of flowers. At the bottoms of skirts bouillones or flounces are placed, and cor selets with points, or with small separated basques, are worn. There are some chains of gold made as trimmings for white satin dresses, covered with tulle illusion. These chains—holding as it were the bouillones— are extremely distingues. There are also very rich galons sultanas, made in colours and fringed with gold ; gold guipure embroidered with pearls ; and ribbons of gold or silver, upon which are large daisies of white or coloured velvet, with gold or sil ver hearts. Crystal is used on velvet; the - skirts cut on the bias and every seam trimmed with a crystal fringe. A toilette de bal. Under-skirt of striped blue and gold ; the upper of blue satin ; upon each seam a gold lace, placed two rows together, forming an insertion, and finished off with gold tassels falling over the under-skirt. Low body, with gold lace forming a rabat ; and wide gold band, fas tened by two cameos. Head dress in the Empire style, with gold bandelettes. Necklace of cameos, fastened on blue velvet. A robe of white tulle ; the bottom of the first skirt trimmed with five rows of red velvet, heading a narrow row of gold pendants. The upper skirt in the Princesse style, with corselet of white, caught up at every seam with ends of red and gold. Under the corselet is a low chemisette, and short sleeves of plaited tulle. Collier of red velvet, with a gold cross. An evening dress of pink poult de soie, trimmed with galon of guipure and pearls. The body draped with pink silk, covered with guipure, forming small Spanish sleeves from the shoulders, and fastened at the waist with two cameos, from which it hangs in two scarf ends, fringed with pearls. Toilette of tulle bouillone, with under skirt of white taffeta; which is trimmed with a gauffered ruche. The upper-skirt is festooned by chains of pearls, fastened by bows of pink satin. Similar chains and bows form the drapery on the body and sleeves. A robe, with a very long under skirt of tulle lsonillonne dotted over with gold sequins. The upper skirt with scol loped basques, composed of maize-coloured satin ; each basque trimmed round with black velvet and sequins. Body and black velvet sash also trimmed to match. An emerald-green velvet dress, with tablier of green satin, fastened to it with silver buttons. The skirt is opened on each side, over a breadth of green satin ; the openings being edged round with a green passementerie and hanging silver buttons. Tho body is low, with a long basque, forming a tunic behind, and very short in front, trimmed also with passementerie and buttons. An Empire robe of cerise satin, with tablier of white satin. The dress is cut on the bias, without plaits at the sides ; very wide at the bottom, and trimmed round with a bias of cerise satin, and a gold cord. The body is low, cut square, with a plastron of white satin joining the tablier, both of which are trimmed with tulle and gold beads. A green satin tunic, trimmed with guipure, embroidered with pearls and silver stars, describing the grecque pattern at each point of the tunic, which is finished off by tassels of green and silver. The guipure is fringed with silver lilies of the valley. The sleeves are very short, being formed merely of the guipure. The tunic is equally charming, made of white satin embroidered with gold, blue satin with silver, cerise with gold, or black with silver. A Princesse robo of violet poult de soie. Round the bot tom a grecquo of beaded passementerie. This is also placed en revers up the front of the skirt, and on the body to each shoulder, forming epaulettes. A row of black cameos fastens the body and are put down the skirt be tween the revers. A dress of Russian drab satin, with arabasques at tho bottom of the skirt, mado of ponceau velvet, embroidered in gold, and opened over a guimpo of muslin, trimmed 18,069,696 with guipure. A robe of silver-grey gros grain, trimmed at the bottom with a band of ruby-coloured plush, straight on the upper edge, and put on the dress with a cord of the same shade. The lower edge is cut in dents, and finished with a silk cord worked with jet. A fitting casaque, trimmed round the arm-holes, bottom of sleeves, and seams, to match the skirt. A ruby-coloured band, trimmed with passementerie in jet, and jet buckle. A green moire antique dress, forme Princesse, with a double band of velvet a rather deeper shade, commencing at the neck, and widening towards the bottom of the skirt and trimming the hem—these bands are put on with a passementerie of beads. Tight-fitting sleeves, with jockeys and cuffs of velvet. Gold is worn as trimming on bonnets, as well as on other articles of dress; for example, a black velvet bonnet is trimmed with bands of plush ribbon, striped with gold.

GREAT IS COLOUR.—A short time since, the Louisiana Senate received a communication commencing as follows : —" The undersigned, as a committee of ladies, acting in the name of a large number of loyal ladies of New Orleans, wish to present your Honorable Body with a United States flag," &c. The Senate received the communication, voted to accept the flag, and assigned an hour in the after noon for its formal reception. Before the hour arrived, however, the fact became known that the donors of the flag were colored ladies, when the Senate hastened to expunge from the journal all record made of the corn manication and of the acceptance of the flag.

DEFRIES and SONS, ti• 16 and 17, COMMERCIAL-STREET. THE VOLUNTEERS. DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES TO THE 46TH MID- DLESEX RIFLE VOLUNTEERS. On Saturday night the prizes won at the annual rifle competition of the 46th Middlesex (Westmin ster) Rifle Volunteers were distributed to the suc cessful competitors in Westminster Hall. Sir John Shelley, the commanding officer of the regiment, presided. Previous to the ceremony the regiment underwent the usual winter inspection. With the exception of a somewhat scanty attendance, the commanding officer expressed himself very well satisfied with the appearance of the men. Addressing then the corps; which was drawn up in front of the prize tables, Sir Jour/ SHELLEY fitst expressed the pleasure he felt at finding himself once more amongst them. The dissolution of Parliament had taken him away at the period of their official inspection, but he was , glad that they had acquitted themselves so satisfac torily to the inspecting officer that he had given a favourable report of the corps to the authorities. After his election he had been so knocked up that he had been obliged to go abroad. In the ensuing year he hoped nothing would occur to prevent his being constantly at their head. It was usual on such occasions to make some reference to the volunteer movement gener*lly, but for his part he thought it had lasted sufficiently long to make that unnecessary. The presence of the regiment was a proof that the 46th Middlesex looked upon the movement as one .of the permanent institu tions of the country. When the volunteers first enrolled, the time had arrived for them to show that they were not going to stand any nonsense, and the course they had taken had raised them consider ably in the estimation of foreign nations. The pro gress of the movement had induced those notions to respect Englishmen as they deserved to be respected. The estimation in which the force was held at home was evidenced by the approval of all political parties. Although the 46th Middlesex had had as many difficulties to contend with as any regiment, he was glad to find there had been no falling off in the numbers. The strength of the corps was the same as last year ; and hoped from a statement he was about to make, that they might in the ensuing year look forward to a large accession of numbers. He was sorry, however, to say that, as regarded effi ciency, there was a falling off. There was no excuse for such a state of things, for the number of drills in the year to qualify for an efficient were so few that every man, if he felt inclined, could make him self effective. A large number of men who wore the ~~' .41 4.47--t--Ce 9 1„7 . ,4" NEWSPAPER - e --- t Ct3C +Cr V 4 uniform of the corps appeared at called the "larks" of the year, such a '''• '19;4 7 and Wimbledon reviews, or at a par, „0, 4 * .> Park, but they would not work to make tlignselfli effective and earn money for the corps. He had never insisted on men paying subscriptions, but he had always said that if men would not make them selves effective, he should consider himself free to proceed against them and make them pay. That course he should certainly adopt, for so many re cruits were now willing to join that it would be better to get rid of men who would not do their . duty. The figures this year were 259 effectives -- - against 330 in 1864. Their difficulty was one com mon to mitny other metropolitan corps, viz., the want of a rifle range. They had been deprived of their range by an injunction, and it was only in August last they succeeded in getting the partial use . of the range they were now using. He hoped in the ensuing year to make a more satisfactory arrange ment. As a consequence of their want of a range only 107 men fired through their periods, of whom 83 passed out of the third class, 17 out of the second class, and 7 hadqualified as marksmen. Adverting then to the necessity of renewing uniforms after four years' service, the gallant officer stated that he and the officers of the regiment, with the assistance of the adjutant, Captain Henderson, had provided a fund, whereby considerable assistance would be rendered in re-clothing the corps, the men only having to bear a small proportion of the ex pense. He had obtained also the consent of the Lord Lieutenant to substitute a neat chaco, with ball, for the horsehair plume, which dangled so un pleasantly before their eyes in wet weather. Although the muster appeared a small one, and when he re collected how hard many of them had been at work, and that these were the Christmas holidays, he was well content. The gallant officer then proceeded to hand to the successful competitors prizes subscribed for by the officers. The 46th, being a working man's corps, • ' totally lack that assistance to promote their shoOting which is lavished in profusion on more fortunate regiments. The ceremony was therefore of brief duration, and was brought to a termination by three cheers for the ladies who had honoured the distribu tion with their presence. The South—The Progress of Material Development. In making note from time to time of the material de velopment of the South, after the ruin in which it found itself at the close of the war, and in illustrating its impor tance, primarily to the South itself, and collaterally to all other parts of the country, we have taken occasion fre quently to speak of the bearings of this material growth upon the political and moral well-being of the Southern people. The work of any given people forms to a large degree the character of that people. For idle hands the devil always finds some mischief, and we could have had no hope for the South, either in the present or the future, had its people, after their military defeat and industrial prostration, settled into inactivity and indolence, and into negligence of the ordinary ambitions of life. The fact that so soon after they lost the game upon which they had staked their all, they resumed to as large an extent as they found possible the pursuits of agriculture, commerce, and general business, gave us the very best hopes that they would soon , also resume, in proper spirit, their amicable relations with the people of the other sections of our com mon country. We have tried to encourage and forward this resumption of industry, this return to prosperity, this material deve lopment of the South in every way in our power. We have brought before Northern capitalists the inviting fields furnished by the South for investment, in planting, in the mechanic arts, and in commercial activity. We have placed before emigrants, or those who might purpose to migrate from the North or from Europe, the advantages offered by various of the Southern States. We have tried, as far as we could, to induce the proper relations and feelings be tween the white race of the South and those who were for merly their slaves, in order that both classes might work harmoniously and profitably, under the new conditions, in the daily occupations of life. We have felt that those in the North or the South who attempted to retard the flow of capital and population thitherward, or those whose poli tical course was adverse to conciliation between the Sou thern people and the Government, or between the Southern whites and blacks, were dangerous enemies to the moral and material interests of the South, and to the material and moral interests of the whole nation. If industry has a direct action upon opinion and character, so, conversely, feeling and opinion have a very direct action upon indus try. In individual cases every one has observed what stimulus words of enconragement may have upon a work man, and every one has seen the poor results that come from a labourer who is sullen in spirit. So precisely it may be with a body situated as the people of the South now are. We can incite them to activity and duty by deal ing with them in a spirit of magnanimity, as well as by enlarging the rewards of their labor through our contri butions of capital and population. The Southern people and press, in like manner, must remember that they may, by their expressions and spirit,, exercise the most powerful influence upon those in the North who desire to co-operate with them in the enlargement of their material prosperity. Fixed malignity of feeling in a population, or the indul gence of whining, will repel capital and population from them, no matter how great inducements are offered of other kinds. It is for this reason, amongst others, that we have from time to time urged temperance upon the Southern press, and begged it to restrain itself in the use of that strong and exciting language which is always the favorite of feeble thinkers. We have watched with the most lively interest during the last nine months the progress made in material acti vity and development by the various Southern States, and by the South as a whole. Speaking generally, it has been as steady as it has been great. The South has been en larging its capital at a very rapid rate. And not merely from Northern investments—though these have been far larger than is imagined, except by those who have un usual means of information—but by receipts from the sale of its great staples which escaped the ravages of war. In the item of cotton alone, it has turned out that the South had a volume which few had suspected. We gave yesterday , some very strik ing figures upon this subject. Not to go again into details, it was shown that eleven hundred thousand bales have already been delivered at Northern and Western ports and towns, and of the estimated value of the whole supply (400,000,000 dais.) a large proportion has already been paid for in cash by Northern capital, though much of the cotton is not yet delivered. This vast amount of money is at this time being applied to the industrial development of the Southern States. Its influence has already appeared to some extent, but in a few months it will be far greater. The commercial growth of the Southern cities has likewise been enormous, and their present activity is really won derful. New Orleans and Memphis, Nashville and Savan nah, Richmond and Wilmington, all tell the same tale. Take ono of these cities as an example, and a city about whose activity we hoar much loss than that of many others. Our correspondent at Savannah wrote but the other day that before the war there were but two or three steam boats running between that place and the city of New York. Now there are five lines of steamships on the same route. The Atlantic coast mail steamship line, composed of the steamers Herman Livingston, Euterpe and Varuna ; ' Murray's Line, the Zodiac, Virgo and Leo ; Pioneer Line, the Chase and Hunter ; Star Line, the Nevada, America, Constitution and Woybossot ; and the Empire Line, the San Jacinto and San Salvador—fourteen first-class steam ships in all. There is also a line between Savannah and Philadelphia and Boston direct, and two lines running direct to Liverpool. There are also two lines of boats with Charleston and two with Florida. Between Savannah and Augusta there are four lines —in all, sixteen steamers. In fact, the Savannah River has done more business in the last six months than it has done before in eight years. In those tidings, as well as the quiet but tolerably deep stream of emigration that is moving toward the South, we see sure hopes for its attainment of a condition of national prosperity unequalled in the past, and we see, moreover, prospects for the return of amity between all parts of our great Union.—New York Timer. PROGRESS IN KENTUCKY.—Tho message of Gov. Bram lette to tho Legislature of Kentucky indicates progress in some points, as appears from this brief account of the docu ment :—" The Governor argues that the adoption of the constitutional amendment would give perpetual indemnity against any attempt to control the suffrage question through the Federal power, and recommends its adoption because slavery has ceased to exist, and universal emancipation has made freedom thoroughly national. The question as to what is to become of the negro, the Governor leaves to time to solve. Ho recommends inviting, a superior clas s of laborers to develope the mineral and agricultural resources of the State, and suggests modes whereby such laborers may bo attracted there. li e recommends each county to organise a military compa ny to support the c i v il authori ties. He says the result of the war has been such as to for ever banish th to of secession, and it only remains for the that secession is treason to have the judiciary heresy subject for ever and finally adjusted. The adjudication should properly be had in the case of the chief of th e rebel lion, to make it a p recedent for all time to come. Of the conduct of Kentucky in the war he - say s Kentucky h as furnished to the Federal armies, of mostly th ree y ears ' men, 63,975 white and 25,538 colored soldiers, and ours danger, but that u nyielding devotion to was not the loyalty which draws its su b s i s t ence f rom pro mised profits, and its principle courage f rom distant ger, which neither the loss of ,property nor present danger could overcome."'
