" Mrs. Weeley, of No. 3. Swan-street, liorough, takes this oppor-• tvulty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the lierbary, High trait, for the eiricacy of his Aromatic itegenerator, in having com pletely restored the hairen her head, after using if about four months, And the whole oilier hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was beige the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to: the virtues of Mr. G.'s tegenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase i is. bottle It they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex- Vocclence, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund aLee, but as a cure el nervous headache ; as a toilet parttime iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure In answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In Gaeta of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair trom coming away with the comb, mese it ' strong, and Prevent It turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant ai eurly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the bollix brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the blest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops An the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of at I*W. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appolications. If need on infants' leans, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth et hair.—See pamphlet el testimonials.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member if the University of Edia burgh,Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, He. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and traced true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could Wm t s raced to physical disqua lifi c ations and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which whelk need in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital porters. The particular excesses. on .he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains au accurate and complete account of iitie Anatomy and Physiology of the toproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health aid disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention aid study, for what subject can be of more import/moo than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every rain should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy 'victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether aogaired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sutforiag from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination f n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sutleror, and, iv,ove all, secrecy, *ally characterise the intelligent an practical physician, and to the Medical man who oan show by his posse•sion of the requisite legal qualifiations that ke is entitled ti esteem ad respect in his profes sionalc pursuits, the utmost coafidence should be extended. Dr. L,UNEItT has oistalied the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the greet extent of his practice for rainy years is a guarantee for his prothesional experience, which has reference almost 1101ely to the treatment of these diseases.

It may with truth bo averred, that ROWLANDS' MACAS SAR OIL has enjoyed an extent of patronage and public favour dar ing the last half century which is totally unexampled in the annals of felicitous discovery. The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amal gamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly ro nowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues in nourish ing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandruff, accelerates its growth, sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest period of human life. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachols, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operations. For Chil dren it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a Beau tiful Head of Hair, and rendering the use of the fins comb unne- COSSary. Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of her Majesty the Queen, the Court. aad the whole of the Royal Family of Great Britain, an of every Court of the civilise& V! VI , the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] A DREADFUL AESCUS UNDER TUB CHIN CURED EY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PlLLS.—Robert Davidson, shoemaker, of An struther, had suffered for more than five years with a very dreadful abscess under his chin. During this time he bad been under the care of two surgeons in Anstru ther, and one in Edinburgh, without the least prospect of a cure ; in this miserable condition he began to use flolloway's Ointment and Pills, which in the short space of two months soundly healed the wound, and he is now enjoying the best of health. These fine medicines are admirable remedies for King's evil, wounds of all kinds, burns, scalds, piles, fistula, and bearings down.

THE SPEAKER'S LEVEES.—The Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Commons will hold levees on the 11th, 18th, and 25th of the present month. MONEY and COMMERCIAL .NEWS.. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was less firm, prices of all kinds being in favour of bnyers. Sales 4,000 bales, American beir.g 40. to 6d. per lb. Railway Shares have been better supported, but thou was very little doing. Accounts have come to hand dated the IGth by the! Mediator from New York, but the letters are much the; same in tenour as those already received. The Wash ington steamer from New York brings dates of February 20, but as she only reached Southampton at half-past eleven this morning, the papers are not yet in town. The moneyed and mercantile men of the City, and we doubt not also of the country at large, are looking with intense anxiety to the progress of political events abroad, as affording some clue to their future proceed ings, and it would appear, from the opportunity of judging which we possess, and from the conversation we bare held with many influential parties, that it is regarded as being by no means expedient just now to enter into operations connected with the Continent.. Great political changes must, it is held, take place from north to south in Europe; and although the effect ultimately, we may confidently hope, will be to place the institutions of the various countries upon a liberal and more enduring basis, the resist ance which is at first likely to be shown must unhinge confidence. The Continent is much more vul nerable than England, and for a time, at least, we may expect the latter, by persevering in a wise and firm neutrality to become the favoured country for the de posit of the surplus and unemployed capital of surround ing nations. Indeed, it is the opinion of many that even a continental war would be in no way prejudicial to us, provided we act as did the United States of old, let ethers' fight while we trade. The Paris bankers, Messrs. Gouin have suspended, and at Amsterdam, among the firms in difficulties, aro Westendorp and Co., Mendes de Leon and Co., Thors, Swarth, and Scheliwald, and one or two others, mostly connected with Stock Exchange and bill transactions. The purchases of stock by the public generally have not been materially checked by the news of the retire ment of M. Godechaux, Ow French Minister of Finance, but speculators have sold upon it, and a few holders have followed their example. Consols opened at 8211—a fall of to per cent. upon the highest values paid yesterday atter the close of the Stock Exchange—the riots at Glasgow, and the feeling against the income tax having pore to do with the decline, perhaps, than the foreign intelligence received. At present Consols are 81i to 82f. Tho Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities have been 82f to 82k. Bank Stock has realised 191 to 194.

STRAND THEATRE.—On Thursday evening last a benefit took place at this pretty theatre in aid of the funds of the Free Hospital for Women and Children in North Andley-street, an institution which, though young in foundation, has done an immensity of good in its neighbourhood to poor suffering humanity. It is in the most extended sense of the term a free hospital, neither letter nor recommendation being required to gain ad mission, illness being the passport to the blessings of the charity. Magnificently as this great country is adorned with charitable institutions of all kinds, none deserve b, tour to pa, cieivate in the sums annually bequeathed to relieve the sufferings of the humble or to sooth affliction. The performances commenced with the Country Squire, a drama too well known to need further comment than to say, the character of the Squire was well sus tained by Rogerson, Horace Selwood found a capital representative in Mr. Payne, as did the part of Sparrow in Mr. Oxberry. Miss Love, as Fanny, was admirable, and in her description of the chase, hunting, and shoot ing, frequently reminded us of Mrs. Nisbett, as Lady Gay Spanker, in London Assurance. Some beautiful dancing by Mdlle. L. Blanche and a concert followed, in which Misses Ransford, Nelson, O'Connor, mid Mr. Ransford took part. Wilk's clever farce of the Captain's Not a Miss succeeded, in which Mr. Laws sustained the character of Captain Daring excellently. Miss Jane Coleman, as Fanny, disguised as the tiger, John Stock, acted to admiration—she looked the very spirit of in trigue and mischief in top boots. Miss E. Terry, as Mary, sustained the character with her usual excellence and espiegle. Oxberry's clever burlesques of Lucy of Lammermoor closed the evening's:entertainments. We trust the funds of the charity will be greatly benefited by the receipts of the evening. The house was crowded. We understand the Daughter of the Regiment is to be the opening opera at this theatre on Tuesday next, for which Miss Poole, Mrs. King, Mr. Bornmii, Mr. King, and an effective chorus, under the zrection of Mr. Tully, has been engaged, a sufficient guarantee that the different novelties will be produced in a style of first-rate excellence. PRINTERS' PENSION SOClrrY.—The annual genera_ meeting, and 26th electic• , . of this society, was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of transacting the usual business, and electing eight pen sioners on the geneyal funds, and the candidate ninth on the poll to ..he Whittingham pension—Richard Taylor, Esq., in the chair. Mr. Hodson, the secretary, read the report, which stated that, notwithstanding the late depression is the printing business, the annual sub scriptions wore but a. few pounds short of the previous year. After the last election the number of pensioners was raised to fifty-five, of whom twelve died during the year, the benefit received by them varying from six months to nineteen years, and that the subscriptions had not only been equal to the pensions, but left a surplus of 201. As regarded the anniversary dinner, the report stated, that Luke Hansard, Esq., had presided, and on this occasion it was anno unced that his Royal Highness Prince Albert had consented to become the patron of the society , and had accompanied this consent with a donation of 251. The Chairman had also given an additional contribution of 501., making the entire amount of his subscription 180/. The report next alluded, in highly flattering terms, to the exertions of Lord Dudley Swept, is.r., i.. Imlnilf of this society, who handed in at the dinner 361. from a few noble authoresses of his acquaintance, the total receipts of the anniversary being 3301. 4s. The funded property of the society had also been increased 2501., making the total amount of funded property 5,0141. 4s. 6d. The financial sheet showed the total receipts, with the ha a v n i d ng ord b e e r e e n d tel ran acte be s balance of last year, to be 1,3761. ls. 9d.; and the ex penditure, 1,260 1 . 95.; .leaving a balance of 1171. 12s. 9d. transacted, printed. Some ererpoourttinwe a receiveds business chairman announced the result of the poll for pensioners, which was as follows: —Samuel Hedgoland, 5,017 ' - John Case, 3,571; John Roue, 3,329; Thomas Reeves, 3,095.; Clarissa Friend, 3,085 ; Walter Hildyard, 2,579; Jemima M. A. Bullock, 2,245; Elizabeth Campbell, 1,982; and Elizabeth Arnold, 1,682, the Whittingham Pension. It was also announced that Mr. Brettell, late of Rupert-street, had left a legacy of 1001., and Mr. Wilson 101. to the funds of the society; and that the Marquis of Northampton, President of the Royal Society, had consented to take the chair at the next anniversary meeting. The meeting was then dissolved. THE IRISH POOR•LAW.—A letter from Lord John Russell, received by the Chairman of the Danmanway Union, upon the subject of the tow n-land rating, shows that an inquiry is to be instituted to ascertain whether 1 any change can be beneficially made in the area of the unions of electoral divisions. Among the passengers by the West India steamer Avon, which lett Southa m p ton on Friday evening, were M. llusson and e G neral Rostoland, deputed by the Pro visional Government at Paris to proclaim the Republic in the French Antilles. Yesterday the Lamb and Flag Ragged Schools, Clerkenwell , were visited by the Bishops of Antigua and Madras, accompanied by the Bishop of Norwich's daughter. The visitors were highly gratified at the manner in which the children acquitted themselves, and both their Lordships highly commended all they saw. " L YNC H LAW."—Mr. Baker, railway contractor of Yeovil, on Friday last, observed a man steal a whip from a gig in Mr. Thomas's yard, and quickly following the rogue he made him return his booty, and having dose so gave him a good flogging with the very article he would have stolen 1— Worcester Herald. EARLY POTATOES.—On the 21st February, some ash leaf kidney potatoes were raised by Mr. Daniel Tombs, of Walnut Tree Cottage, near the town, which were of excellent quality, and free from disease. Lot us hope that the next crop will be one of abundance, both in this country and unfort unate Ireland. —Monmouthshire I Merlin. c - '-'t Chair to be taken at Eight o'clock precisely.

LI N D InUNN versus JUP The trial is ever of " Bunn versus Lind. And by means of the papers, the facts have get wind. Mr. Bunn had his lawyers. and so had poor Jenny, Who now, it appears, has to pay a rare penny. Two Thousand Five Bundred, besides all expences, Is enough to make Jenny bereft of her senses. This minstrel, whose music has made us so fond, Has to pay this amount, having broken her bond; Toe, in spite of the Speeches of counsel vehement, Jenny Lind is declared to have broken agreement. And certainly that is a serious charge- Which should give a broad hint to the public at largo. I have thought since I heard of this action of Bann, Of the pnblto agreement of MOSES and SON. E MOSES and SON, as sou all must respond, Have never been known to dishonour their bond. In the whole of their promises, no matter what, They've stuck to their contract, if Jenny has not. Their Dress-coats are proofs that they stick to their terms, And the whole of their stock this agreement confirms. Their elegant fashion, and quality, too, Are proofs that they keep their agreement in view; And an action should neer been entered by Bunn, Had the " Nightingale" acted like MOgBS nod SON.

(Signe 1) "CLONCURRY, Chairman. " SAMUEL FERGUSON, " k the absence of Sir Colman O'Loghlen,) " Acting Hon. Secretary." —b --- EXTRA( )RDINARY ROBBERY. On Saturday, :as Mr. Beadon, the sitting magistrate at Wandsworth Police -court, was about quitting the bench, John W. Miura Thompson, a fine-looking man, about 35 years of age, who was described as the captain of the Medora, roils placed in the dock, charged with stealing a quantity of gold dust, to the value of nearly 7,0001., consign Led t,o and the property of Mr. W. M. Hutton, of La rkNall-lane. Clapham, and 25, Watling street, City, merchant. The property, with the excep tion of a few hut idred pounds' worth, was produced in court. Mr. Hutton, having been sworn, sa id th e pr i soner was captain f s 'vessel belonging to him, and called the Medora ste am•.:r. She left Shoreham in October last for the G. )1d Coast of Africa, there to receive a cargo of palm xi ell, and to bring over freight from the merchants xes iding at Cape Coast and other settle ments. The prisoner received on board a quantity of gold dust, consigned principally to themselves. On Friday they received a letter from their cor respondent ann or swing the arrival of the ship at Ports mouth, and another from the ship, written by the prisoner, in which he stated that on leaving the Gold Coast he was skixed with the fever, which threw him into a state of delirium, and while in that state he had thrown all the gold dust overboard. Pro.ecutor imme diately dispa tched two of his confidential clerks to Portsmouth, and on their arrival there they found the prisoner had lett the ship and started for London. This conduct aroused their suspicions, and they commenced making inquiries amongst the dealers in bullion, and discovered that the prisoner had sold a quantity of gold dust to Messr s. Ery.annel, in the High -street. The clerks consequently returned to London, an d th a t morn ing prosecutor surd' his son endeavoured to trace out the hiding place of the prisoner. Knowing that he was in the habit of s:ay ing, when in town, at his brother-in law's, a Mr. Coc per, a surgeon, in the Clapham road, he caused a letter •to be sent to that house directed in his name, and as it •was taken in prosecutor gave such information to, thf, police as led to the prisoner's appre hensirm. constable Gibbs, 77 V, a very active officer, sta 4 ,:ed that that morning, at nine o'clock, he was directed by the last wi'aiess to watch a house opposite the Bed ford Arms. He did so for some time, and then went and knocked at the door, and asked if Captain Thotap son was there? He was answered in the affirmative, and shown upstairs to Captain Thompson's room. He there saw the prisoner at breakfast, and asked if he was Cap tain Thompson? He said he was, and witness then told him he was come tn take him on suspicion of stealing GOO ounces of gold dust, and asked him it he had brought any luggage, as be must search it? He said, " Yes; and would show witness where it was." Prisoner then went into a front bedroom, and, pointing to a basket and box, said " The property is there." He found four large bags of gold dust in the basket and five smaller ones in the trunk; the whole of the bags contained gold dust. During the tome witness was searching the room prisoner was sitting on the bed. He had some papers in his hands, and handed them to witness, who said, " What is this?" and he said the produce of the other property. Witness then found that the papers consisted of twenty 51. notes of the Portsmouth branch of the Bank of England, and a cheque on a bank for 1421. ss. ; the prisoner also gave witness ten doubloons, which he also said w•As part of the property. The gold dust was weighed by steelyards, and was 116 pound avoirdupois weight. The prisoner had on his person a gold chrono meter, V. in money, a Mexican dollar, and half a dollar. Police-sergeant Emerson, 9 V, stated that after the prisoner was brought to the station he went to Mr. Coo - pees house, and upon searching the room where the prisoner slept he found the small portmanteau produced, and in it another bag of gold dust. lie also found a belt, for securing under the clothes, with braces attached. This belt. which was shout si g ht 1-0.. a, —u s stitched at intervals of about two inches, and each inter stice was filled with gold dust. It would appear that the prisoner conveyed the gold ashore by means of this belt. The prisoner identified the trunk at the station, and said the gold dust found was the remainder of the load. Prosecutor asked prisoner if he had any more, and he said no. There was altogether 1,600 ounces. In answer to a question from the bench, the prose cutor said there were different freights of gold dust, anti it all appeared to have been missed together. Some was consigned to a house at Bristol, and part to a house in London. The prisoner said the gold dust was originally in small boxes; he broke these open and destroyed them, and afterwards mixed the dust altogether and put it in the bags as it now was. The prosecutor said the value of the gold dust pro duced would be about 6,4001., at 31. 17s. per ounce. He expected the vessel round by Monday. He trusted that the gold would be delivered up to him, as he wished to deposit it in the bullion office of the Bank of England. The cheque was also due that day, and should be cashed. Mr. Beadon thought otherwise; it was at present a very grave question, whether the Messrs. Emanuel, who had given that cheque, had given fair value for the gold; if they had not done so, and prosecutor con verted their cheque into cash, ho would be a consenting party to tho sale, and would not be able to recover from them afterwards. Mr. Beadon addressed the prisoner, saying—You have no gentleman present to defend you, and, there fore, it is my duty to caution you. You are at liberty now to state anything you please. Prisoner—l sold sixty ounces to Emanuel. I re ceived 60s. per ounce for one lot, and 655. for another lot. He weighed it and tested it, and asked no ques tions. I also sold him some doubloons, which were part of the consignment. Mr. Beadon said he should remand the prisoner to a future day. The gold would be deposited in the bullion office, and he should advise the prosecutor to proceed immediately to Portsmouth, and obtain a warrant to search Emanuel's house. The prisoner was then remanded. ABOLITION of the INCOME-TAX. HULL, MARCH 6.—A meeting was held this day in the Town Hall, "to petition against rating to the income-tax, incomes derived from personal exertions after the same rate as those derived from realised capital." The meeting cas convened on the requisition of about one hundred and seventy signatures, comprised of clergymen of the Church of England, and other religious bodies, lawyers, surgeons, merchants, tradesmen, and others. The worshipful the Mayor occupied the chair. When the importance of the subject is taken into consideration, the numerous and highly influential names that were attached to the requisition, the paucity of the meeting is surprising—not more than one hundred and fifty persons being present, and not above one-third of those payers of the tax. The apathy in a population of nearly eighty thousand is scarcely to be accounted for, except by the patience with which John Bull submits to his burdens. The usual petition was adopted pro forma, and in dead silence, the principal spe akers being persons who figured at a recent peace meeting, held in the town. After the business of the meeting had been disposed of, the Mayor called upon the town clerk to read a letter from M. T. Baines, E sq ., one of the members for the borough, which set forth that he had voted in the mino rity with Mr. Horsman on the income-tax, and his in tention to support Mr. Humes amendment to restrict its operation to ono year. After the letter had been read a vote of thanks was moved by the Chairman to Mr. Baines, for his attention and services in the House of Commons. This, as might have been expected, met with considerable opposition, many thinking it not only premature, hut not in ac cordance with the object of the meeting, and also a reflection upon the other highly-esteemed Member, James Clay, Esq., who has shown every attention to the business of the borough, and whose vote is recorded in The Sun of Saturday, along with Mr. Baines.' During the altercation which took place, a person connected with the press boldly stated that he had a letter from Mr. Clay, stating his regret that ho had ac cidentally been shut out from the division, which, how ever, was received with no little incredulity, the letter not being forthcoming to prove the inaccuracy of the votes of the House as given in The Sun. -------- ller Majesty has nominated Lord Dalhousie to be a Knight of the Thistle, vacant by the death of Earl Moray. 'We are requested to state that Sir De Lacy Evans supported Mr. Horsman's amendment against the in come-tax as at present assessed, having paired Sir John M‘Taggart, who was in favour of the Government measure.
