GENTLEMEN,—A striking instance of the efficacy of your Macas sar Oil in the restoration of the hair has just come under my notice. The person alluded to Is a young man named Hayleck, of Ashdon, near this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unac countable means. He purchased of me several different popular pre parations, which he regularly and faithfully used, but without effect big the least apparent change, At last I advised him to try a bottle of your Macassar Oil ; and, on Friday last he communicated to me the pleasing intelligence of the reappearance of a thick head of hair. You can make what use you please of this, and refer inquirers to, " Yours rerpectfully, " J. SERGEANT, Bookseller, acc." ROWLAND'S MACASSAIt OIL.

The muse, methinks, will need no coaxing wheedle, When asked to sing of Cleopatra's Needle ; A subject like this celebrated pillar, With various musings very soon must Mn her. This wondrous relic of the bygone ages, Stands boldly forth on antiquarian pages ; And none who witness it attempt to garble The warm accounts of tills Egyptian marble. But if the public prints have rightly written, This porphyry monument's to come to Britain ; And many haying heard about its landing, Begin to talk upon its place of standing. One mentions this—another that proposes, But I've a word to say for Messrs. MOSES. What site more fit for Cleopatra's Needle Than right in view of Aldgate's parish beadle? Let Cleopatra's Needle show the people What MOSES do in front of Aldgate steeple ; There let the Needle stand, in triumph showing, A monument to needles made for sowing. MOSES and SON with needles have effected What none can rival, and what none expected. Their Trousers, Coats, and Vests, without a question, Are such as loudly call for this suggestion.

G N0.17,316.] LONDON, FRIDAY 1 : E N T HE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. ANNUAL REPORT, 1848. The TWENTY - SECOND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this Company took place on Tuesday, the 15th of February, within the Company's Office, No 3, George-street Edinburgh. GEORGE MOIR, Esq. Advocate, in the Chair. The Report and Statements submitted by the Directors contained a very satisfac!ca y account of the progress of the Institution during the year 1847. It was reported : That the 'number of Policies for Life Assurance issued by the Company from the 15th November, 1846, to 15th November, 1847, was 621. That the Sums Assnred during the same period, contained in these Policies, amounted to 443,5781. 4s. I id. That the number of applications for Policies made te the Com pany, and from which the above transactions were selected, was 804, containing proposals for Assurance to the extent of 591,6631. Bs. That the Annual Revenue of the Company, as at 15th November, 1847, was 131,3161. 10s. 7d. That the whole amount of assurance covered by the Company's Policies, in force at 15th November, 1847, was 3,212,0991. 14s. 10d. The Report then proceeded as follows : " The past year has been marked by the most extraordinary fea tures as regards commercial affairs and general credit ; but, while all classes of society, especially the mercantile community, and our public institutions connected with the general affairs of commerce, have felt the pressure of the times, the Life Assurance Institutions of the country have stood unaffected by the crisis. Nothing can tend more to extend confidence in these institutions than this result ; and it is hoped they will always be found affording protection and dis pensing benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by those periodical changes. " Notwithstanding the unfortunate position of the country daring the pest year, the amount of new business transacted by this Com pany has exceeded to a large amount the business of the previous year. The claims during the year have been greater in proportion than usual , but when the increased mortality throughout the king dom generally is remembered, the Directors consider they have reason to be well satisfied with the results." ♦fter the Report and Statements were read, the Chairman con gratulated the meeting on the favourable positioa of the Company, and its prospects generally, and again brought under notice the most prominent t.tatures in the Report. He drew attention to the great increase of the business, the increase of the revenue, and the rapid ac• umulation of the Company's Funds, which it appeared 11AD BEEN MORE THAN DOUBLED DURING THE LAST FIVE YEARS. The following Abstract, showing the new business transacted by the Company annually since 1842, was referred te, as exhibiting, in a marked degree, the growing estimation of the STANDARD in public favour:— Number of Corresponding Suns New Policies issued.

One halt the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, Questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea at caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrsumea to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement.

It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more limportaace than the preservation of the health, and et the physical capabilities of which every nun should be possessed. it itafertunately happens tkat the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering trees their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and tke dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that those complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking •or assistance where alone it can lso procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

TRH LATE FIRE IN DUKE •TREET.- - The fire which broke out on Tuesday morning in the Grapes Tavern, Duke• street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, was attended with serious, although not fatal consequence, to every person residing in the house. The person who was suspected to have perished in the flames succeeded in fighting her way through the flames, and was found lying in the gutter plate, almost drowned with the water thrown from the engines. She was carried down the machine be longing to the lloyal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire. The poor creature, in order to reach the roof of the house, was obliged to crawl upon her hands and knees with the flames playing over her back ; in so doing she was burned so seriously that she was obliged to be removed to King's College Hospital, where she at present remains. Don Ibturitz, the Spanish Minister, arrived in London on Tuesday from Madrid, to resume his di plomatic functions, after an absence of nearly six. months. IRELAND. PROSECUTION AGAINST MESSRS. SMITH O'BRIEN, M.P., T. F. MEAGHER, AND J. MITCHELL,—HEAD POLICE OFFICE. DUBLIN, MARCH 22.—1 n consequence of the infor mations sworn last evening, before the in.tgistrates of the head police-office, by Mr. Hodges, the Government Oiort-halid writer, Mr. Vernon, an officer of tha Stsmp office, and Mr. Keruntii, clerk of the Crown, an intims __ tion was made by Mr. Porter (one of the magistrates) to the defendants, requiring their attendance, at twelve o'clock to-day, at this police-office, for the purpose of giving bail to appear and abide their (trills iu the Court of Queen's Bench, on the first day of next term. When the communication reached Mr. O'Brien, he was in,the act of packing up his portmanteau, to proceed to Paris, or the purpose of presenting the address of the Con federates to the French people. The necessity of issuing warrants was obviated by the assurance that the parties would attend, and long before the ap pointed hour, an immense crowd of persons, between six thousand and eight thousand, congregated in Dame street, Parliament-street, and Castle-hill, in the vicinity of the police-office. Their demeanour was remarkably quiet and orderly. They neither indulged in cheering .r groaning, until the defendants, accompanied by their respective bailsmen. emerged from three covered cars, and then the skies were rent with long and continuous shouts of applause. The presiding magistrates were Messrs. Porter, Magee, and Wyse. Immediately near the bench were Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., Mr. J. O'Connell, M.P., Sir N. Fitzsimon (inspector of prisons, and recently a magistrate at this office), Sir Arthur Clarke, M.D., T. M. Rey, Mr. J. Perring (son of Mr. Justice Perrin, and nearly connected with the present Solicitor-General). The room was crowded to suffocation. The defendants having taken their places at the bar, a few minutes before twelve o'clock, Mr. M. O'Connell, in a loud tone of voice, said that if Mr. Meagher or either of the other gentlemen required bail, he (Mr. O'Connell) and his ' brother John would be very happy to tender them selves. The offer witt . politely'declined by gesture, and not verbally. Mr. Porter then informed Mr. Mitchell that the in formation which bad been exhibited before the magis trates of that office, and on which he had been charged, set forth that he, being the proprietor, printer, and pub lisher of the United Irishman newspaper, did on the 19th of February, and on the 4th and 18th of March, 1848, in said newspaper, unlawfully print and publish certain seditious articles. The first headed " Striking Terror," the second " French Fashion," and the third (that alleged to have been published on the 18th instant) a letter addressed to the Earl of Clarendon, " Her Ma jest)'s Executioner-General and General Butcher of Ireland."—(Loud laughter.) The worthy magistrate here said he would hare the room immediately cleared if such indecent interruption was again indulged in. He then proceeded to inform Mr. Mitchell that his own recognizances in 2001., and two solvent sureties for 1001. each would be accepted for his personal appearance in the Court of Queen's Bench in Dublin, on Saturday, the 15th of April next (the first day of Easter term), to answer such charges as should be preferred against him by her Majesty's Attorney-General. Mr. Mitchell expressed his readiness to execute the proposed recognisance, and tendered Mr. Arthur O'Hagait, 29, Lower Fitzwilliam•street, solicitor, and Mr. James M'Donnell, of William street, papermaker, as his sureties. _ _ _ Mr. William Smith O'Brien, described as of Cayer moyle, in the county of Limerick, and Mr. Thomas Francis Meagher, as of The Mall, Waterford, were then informed that they had been respectively charged with having, on the 15th of March instant, at the Music Hall in the City of Dublin, spoken certain seditious speeches, calculated to excite unlawful opposition to her Ma jesty's Representative, and the administration of the laws in Ireland. The same amount of bail was required. Mr. Francis Comyn, of Woodstock, in the county of Galway, and Mr. Richard O'Gorman, of 23, Merchant's Quay, merchant (the chairman of the meeting held at the Northwall, on Monday) were tendered as Mr. O'Brien's sureties. Mr. Richard Davis Ireland. a barrister, and Mr. William O'Hara, solicitor, of No. 13, Upper Merrlon street, Dublin, were nominated as securities for Mr. Meagher. No objection was offered by Mr. Kemmis, the clerk of the Crown. The several gentlemen named verified as to their sol vency in the usual manner, they were accordingly accepted. Mr. S. O'Brien said he presumed there would be no objection to his being furnished with copies of the infor so ations. Mr. Kemmis—They must be first lodged in the office of the clerk of the Crown. y. Mr. Porter—The informations do not set out the speeches in full—merely extracts. Howeyer, the course I mean to pursue is to return the informations forthwith to the clerk of the Crown. _ _ . Mr. Kemmis—Then copies of them may be had. The several recognizancos were then formally executed and acknowledged, and the defendants were discharged. Ucfore retiring, they took an opportunity of thanking Mr. Porter for the courtesy with which he had acted towards each of them. During the proceeding, which did not occupy half an hour, Mr. Meagher amused him self sketching a spear bead and a pike, well known implements of war iu Ireland. The paper upon which those sketches were made was gazed at, with much apparent interest, by many who were prevented by the crowded state of the board room from approaching the bench, or seeing " with their own eyes" what Mr. Meagher had been doing, althougk the fact was very soon buzzed about and applauded. After the departure of the parties, the sketches were deemed (under the peculiar circumstances) to be too significant to suffer them to escape notice. They were accordingly handed to the magistrates, the reporters for the news papers, and others. It was suggested that a Jac-simile should be published in one of the illustrated newspapers; however, if it be omitted, Mr. Meagher will, in all pro bability, otherwise take an early opportunity of evincing kis notions of the respect and deference due to the ad. ministration (of the law in Ireland. The defendants were lustily greeted and cheered upon leaving the police office, as were likewise the Messrs. O'Connell, for their offer to assist their brethren in distress. Tke crowd separated quietly, all was soon perfect tranquillity, and the streets resumed their ordinary appearance before one o'clock. ALLEGED COALITION OF THE OLD AND YOUNG IHELANDERS. A large concourse of persons soon afterwards assem bled outside the office of the Irish Confederation, in l)'Olier-street. There were about 5,000 present. They were addressed by the leaders of the Confederate party. Mr. O'BuiEsi was the first who came forward. He said that the Government had at last honoured him with a prosecution, and he was proud of it ; because he be lieved it would have the . effect of making Irishmen, of all creeds and politics , unite in putting down tyranny and coercion.—(Cheers) He was happy to be able to state that the Messrs. O'Connell had in the handsomest manner come forward and offered themselves to go bail for him, which showed the feeling of fraternisation which the policy of the Government would engender ; for his part, he would pledge himself to say and do more than ever he did to procure for Ireland her native Par liament.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. MIIVHEL then came forward. He had been held to bail for writing articles to excite discontent and dis • affection amongst her Majesty's subjects; and he had come there to admit he wrote the articles referred to, and that it was for the purpose of creating disaffection and discontent amongst the Irish people he had done so. —(Loud cheers.) He was candid enough to make that admission for her Majesty's Attorney General, and to inform him and the other law officers, that be would con tinue to write, week after week, article a for the same seditious purpose, and the moment he discontinued to write them, and to swerve from the expression of the same sentiments in public, at meetings, and elsewhere, he hoped to be branded as a traitor.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. MEAGHER next came forward, and was received with shouts of applause. He said as that was the last opportunity he would have of addressing his fellow countrymen until after his return from France, he had made it a point to be there to tell the " bloody Govern ment" that he was not afraid to meet their hirelings in . the Court of Queen's Bench, or a wider field.—(Loud cheers.) The speaker made use of other very strong and exciting language, which was loudly cheered by the mob ; but from the crowd, and other difficulties in hearing him distinctly, we abstaia from publishing them, not being able to give his words exactly. The crowd then dispersed, and a large body of the police who were in attendance, in ease any disturbance should take place, were marched back to barracks. OLYMPIC THEATRE. Mr. Gustavus V. Brooke appeared last night at this theatre in the character of Virginius, and, if the most hearty and enthusiastic applause of an audience filled to overflowing be the teat of success, Mr. Brooke has most decidedly achieved a great triumph. The part of the Roman father has been always considered amongst the finest of Mr. Macready's personation', and he has almost made the character his own. It war. a bold attempt of Mr. Brooke to represent the character of tke Roman Tribune, but he has no cause to repent having done so. Ilis conception is original—marked by great beauties of elocution and delivery in the nor° subdued portions, and by great passion and !energy where the loving lather is roused to action and maddened to revenge. his acting last night was uneven, but in the scene where he gives the hand of his daughter to Icilius, and also where he meets her upon his return from the camp, there was genuine pathos. The great scene of the fourth act before the Tribune was admirably sustained, aid the entire of the last act was marked with a fine conceptiwi of the glorious Tribune, robbed of his child, driven to madness, and at last sinking under the weight of intense anguish. The other parts were but ineffi ciently represented. PRINCESS NICHOLAS ESTERHAZY.—The Earl and Countess of Jersey yesterday received letters from Vi enna which convey the intelligence of the aceouche ment of the Pri-Ace, , s Nicholas Esterhazy. Her high• ness was safely delivered of a daughter on the 16th instant, and both ,the Princess and itlfilut were doing favourably. S N, MARCH 14, 1848. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.

The new Derby course will be used this year for the first time, and from an elaborate plan, with sections of the old and new courses, just published by Mr. Henry Dorling, the clerk of the course at Epsom, it appears that there is but little difference between the two, the now ground being only half a mile in length, and joining the old course at the mile-post. The gradients or rate of in. clination are marked on the plan, showing that the new half-mile is not quite so severe as the old one, the average rate of inclination being 1 in 54, while in the old course it was 1 in 47. The new ground is forty yards in width, but at the start it is much wider, giving room to parade the horses. The most important advantage of the new course over the old will be, bringing the start and every part of the race in full view of the stand—an event which every one can appreciate, and which is all that was re quired to complete the improvements that have been 4oing on under Mr. Dorling's most efficient management. [PRICE SD. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS' CITY. QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool was very dull yester day. Sales 2,500 to 3,000 bales. Railway Shares were better, and there were more orders to buy. A short paragraph was inserted under this hoad yes terday, relative to the state and condition of the Canada Company, as announced at the half•yearly General Court held. The meeting went off most satisfactorily. It cannot now be denied that this company has done infinite benefit to the colony. A vast undertaking it was in the first instance, with prospect► uncertain, and it was with the knowledge of the fret beforehand that a capital to a very large amount would have to be subscribed to carry on affairs ere the tide of emigration flowed in the desired direction, that such an institution was brought into existence, and now stands settled upon the firmest of all bases. The letters received from America indicate steady prosperity as existing there, and a writer in one of the papers thus indulges his pleasurable t motions:— " We are full of all the elements of wealth, and we have an abundance of everything necessary to secure it. Our produce will be wanted in Europe, as soon as they are able on the other side to pay for it ; the raw mate rial for the cotton manufactures of Great Britain will be wanted in great quantities before they can commence full work ; our state stocks have been returned to us, and we have bought and paid for them in gold and silver; they are now in demand again in Europe, and large orders have already been fulfilled on German account. The Dutch are the shrewdest financiers in the old world, and they have shown their wisdom in investing in our State securities. The principal purchases thus far on foreign account have been confined to Pennsylvania Fives, and the prices paid have been a handsome advance on those realised upon the sales here during the panic, when holders on the other side were forced to sell at the rates then current. The recent sales of State stocks to Euro pean capitalists are but a beginning of the movement, and the amount already sold is but a trifle of that which will be taken in the course of the next two or three years. The views of foreign capitalists have become com pletely revolutionized in regard to our State stocks, and we have no doubt they will be more sought after for investment than any Government Securities in the world. They pay better dividends, and are, in fact, safer investments, than those of any European Government ; and what is more, and perhaps better, they will be paid in full at maturity ; which cannot be said with any degree of truth of the loan of any other nation in creation. We allude, of course, to the regular dividend-paying stocks of the States and of the General Government. The change which has taken place in the opinions of foreign capi talists, relative to the value and safety of investments in American securities, is the result of a variety of causes." There may be. and doubtless is, much truth in these reflections, but we should say to our countrymen gene rally, keep your cash at home, even if the interest received be low. We have had far too much of foreign stocks, and the tremendous sacrifices made by the holders of American securities, who resold when " re pudiation" doctrines came into fashion, prove how little choice there is wherever money is placed beyond control and in distant countries. The Continental accounts have somewhat depressed the market for the Public Securities this morning. Consols for the account have wavered from' 82 1 to $21,-, while for immediate transfer the value is fully $2l to 83. The Juno Exchequer-bills are at 32s premium, and Indian Bonds at 12s. Bank Stock for the account is quoted at 193. In the Foreign Stock Market the transactions have been rather more extensive to-day. but prices are still heavy. The Small Brazilian Bonds, Five per Cent. have sold at 71; the Mexican at 144; the Portuguese Three per Cents. for the Account, at 154; the Vene zuela at 19 for the Two-and-a-Half per Cents.; the Dutch Two and-a half per Cents. at 404; and the Four per Cent. Certificates, at 614. In the Railway Shares there have been some changes to-day, for the benefit of those who are compelled to sell, in whole or in part, their investments.

FATAL ACCIDENTS IN SIIOOTING.—Tbe annals of the neighbouring county of Shropshire present two very melancholy instances of fatal occurrences of this kind, the one in the death of the only son an d heir of the late Andrew Knight, E+q., of Downton C astle, which hap. pened somewhere about twenty years ago, and the other in the very recent death of that excellent nobleman,Earl Powis. But the r emarkableness of these two events oc curring in the same county and amongst those of its higher-born classes, would not be matter for observation were it not for a most singular, not to say extraordinary coincidence, which is equally connected with both of these sad catastrophes, viz., that at the time of Mr. Knight's accident his life was in a lease of property belonging to the Bishop of Worcester ; and that the lite inserted in that lease to supply the place of Mr. Knight was that of the late Earl Powis!— Worcester Herald. PUBLIC MEETING of the ITALIANS OF LONDON. On Wednesday evening a meeting of the Italians resident in London was held at the Western Literary Institution, Leicester-square. Tho meeting had been convened by the Signori Mazzini, Pistrucci, and Fermi, and others of the leading Italian Liberals. Shortly after eight o'clock the theatre or lecture room of the institution was crowded with a most respectable audience, consisting almost exclusively of Italians, a few ladies gracing the assemblage with their presence. Signor Mazzini was elected President by acclamation, and took the chair amid loud applause. The (41111111 N, after expressing his sense of the honour done hint in being chosen to preside over the meeting, proceeded to explain the object which he and his associates had in view in calling their fellow-country men together at this time. Ile said that ho happened to be in Paris when the late revolution was achieved, and that he had been invited to attend a meeting of Italians residing in that capital, convoked by a few of their brethren, for the purpose of forming a National Associa tion (AsAociazione azinale) comprehending all Italians who desired the regeneration of their native country. No difference of political opinion excluded Italians from that society, whether they looked forward to the estab lishment iu Italy of a republic, of a monarchy, or of a federal government, provided they were united in the desire to restore to Italy her freedom, independence, and ancient glory. That meeting had done him the honour to elect him president of their committee, and, on his departure fir Loudon, had entrusted him with the task of organizing a similar association here, to act in unison with tho central or parent society of Paris. Their aim should be to promote, in every way in their power, the movement so happily begun in the Peninsula. Mr. Slsasini concluded by reading the address adopted by the original association in Paris to their brethren at home and abroad, exhorting them to union, moderation, and a determined resistance to the oppressors of their country. The reading of this address elicited prolonged applause, and, on the motion of Mr. Mazzini, it was unanimously agreed that an association should be formed in London, on the same basis and for the same purposes with that in Paris. After a few brief but enthusiastic speeches, some discussion arose as to the best mode of electing the office bearers and committee; it was finally agreed i to proceed to the election of the president and vice-presi dents by scrutiny. Signor Filippo Pistrucci was elected president, and the Signori Mariotti and Giglioli, viee presidents ; two secretaries, a treasurer, with five or six councillors were then nominated, to compose, along with the president and vice-presidents, the standing committee. At the suggestion of Mr. Manus', most of those present handed in their names and addresses, with the amount of monthly subscription which each agreed to give towards the promotion of the objects of theassocia tion, as had been done by their brethren in Pa ris. The newly-elected PRESIDENT having announced that the next meeting would take place that day week, the meeting separated. It was gratifying to observe the unanimity and en thusiastn which characterised the proceedings, although they were not conducted throughout with that order and regularity usual in similar meetings in this country. There was occasionally some confusion, :and one could not help re masking that the right of assembling publicly to discuss political subjects is still new to the Italians, while every stranger present must have felt how worthy such a nation is of all the lights and blessings which freedom can bestow. DUTCH MAIL. BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MARCH 21.—After a ten dency to a slight rise, the national funds closed rather below the preceding exchange. The rise in the French funds has had no influence here. Iptigrals fall to 40, and remained stationary at 40i. The other Inland funds followed this movement. The death of Prince Alexander the Second, sou of ;he King, was not calculated to lessen the aspect of affairs. Spanish bonds were flat, Portuguese also. Vienna Metallic were in demand ; Five per Cent. Russian, commence.] flat, but afterwards recovered. The other Foreign funds were all lower. There was au improve ment in activity to-day.

The committee appointed by his Majesty's decree of the 17th not having yet been able to accomplish their task.
