Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekiey, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this minor tnxtty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hal r en her head, after using it about four mouths, and the whole of her hair!' much stronger and more luxuriant than lever 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 1 is. bottle if tkey 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 iti far beyond any to her taste. ' She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the abovefact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops en the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mate it strong, and Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your. lairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the meet aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the ballet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; If very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most eases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair ou children's heads in a few appplicatiens. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as pronldting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet et testimonials. All lettere addressed to William Gemstone, Ilerbary. Hishgate.

SUGGESTED BY THE IRISH STATE TRIALS, At a time like the present, we've very good reason To say a few words with regard to High Treason ; For a subject like this is by no means too solemn For a matter of trade in a newspaper column. The only idea with E. MOSES and SON, Is to make such a topic a mercantile one. It is said that when persons excite revolution, As traitors, they owe a severe retribution. But here no allusion whatever Is made To what may be termed, revolution in trade. E. MOSES and SON, as you all must confess, Have caused a complete revolution in dress. And they've levied a war with the trade, as you know, But the war has been civil—remarkably so ; And MOSES and SON in the efforts they've made, Have endeavoured to make themselves monarchs in trade. Now, although in the State, this is viewed as High Treason, To apply it to trade is to,speak without reason. The trial which MOSES and SON have gone through, Proves them friends to the public in all that they do. Their prime Autumn dress, in its wide distribution, - Will prove them not foes to a good constitution. And thus has the subject of Treason been male To serve Messrs. DIOSES and SON In their trade. E. MOSES and SON invite esdecial attention to their Shooting coats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort 1U the dt. E. M. and S. are convinced they will be much approved of by the public. Shooting Coats, in a variety of materials from Ss. Gd. to 21s. The Doeskin, or Elastic Coat, from • • .. • • • • .. 17s.

Caatiou.—E. Moses and Son regret being obliged to guard the pilblie against impostors, but have learned that the untradesman like falsehood of being connected with them, or it's the same concern, has .been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They have no connexion with any other house in or out of London; and these who desire genuine and cheap clothing, &c., should call at, or send to, Minortes and Aldgato, City, London.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—London now contains considerably ,nore than two millions of inhabitants, a population fouble of that which could be found in England and Wales at the time of the Conquest. When we take into account the other large towns of the kingdom, especially those lying in the manufacturing districts, it may be safely asserted that the world has not ye: seen such an example of a purely urban population. ['he vast multitudes who inhabit the towns are with- Irawn almost entirely from the feudal influences which still, in some measure, obtain in the country iistricts. There is but little notion of protection and dependence. The relation of patron and client, of lord and vassal, has disappeared in the towns, and in place of it we find a mutual dependency, ori ginating in relative wants. 'We are neither broach ing a theory which might give umbrage to Lord John Manners, nor clearing the g round for philosophic Ch art i sm ; neither admiring nor cen suring, but simply enunciating a fact. That fact .s one of terrible importance. It means that the great mass of our urban communities, under their present aspect, a re necessarily exposed to great and constant vicissitudes of fortune. • " A fair day's wages for a fair day's work" is their cry, but a time comes when they cannot get a fair day's wages, let them work never so fairly. Their employers cannot pay the fair day's wages, and are often obliged to refuse even the day's work.. Then comes the half meal, and the no meal, the " distress," the sale of the few decent articles of furnitu re , and the open street. Poverty, howe ver , i s b ut one of the spasms to which a great city is condemned. Bring two millions of human beings into close contact, and give their passions full play, the result is London. Take into account all the impulses, either to self-destruction or to the destruction of others, -which originate in the passions of this vast' multitude, their domestic bickerings, their disappointed hopes, the relations between the sexes, or the greed of gain, and it may be imagined that every possible bar and impediment should be thrown by the authorities, who are re • ponsible before God for the safety of these multitudes, between the impulse and the act—the frenzy and the accomplishment of its design. Now, what will be said when we tell the public that the Legi s l a t ure calmly looks on w hil e the most tempting hopes of secresy are held out to the hesitating assassin, and an easy painless termination of all suffering is suggested to the despairing man, who asks ;no better than to turn his face to the wall and die in peace. He need but cross his threshold, and he will be invited to the shops where, for a few pence, he can purchase death for himself or others. There is no mistake possible in the spots where the article is sold, no pos.' sibility of overlohking them by day or by night. With their gaudy and transparent an d bl ue , ill um i nated vases, red, green, from behind by jets of gas, they attract th e poor wretches' attention. Like the insects that flutter round our lamps and tapers at night, he may struggle and hesitate for a time, but, like them, he rushes in and is lost. With his last three or four pence he can purchase in the druggist's shop that which makes him master of his own life, and the lives of his fellows. A smirking boy takes down a jar from the shelf and pours of its contents into the little phial ; he covers over the cork with red paper clipped with due pre cision, and neatly labels it as " Poison." N o ques tions are asked.. The apothecary's boy shovels the pence into the till, and proceeds to spread his plaisters, or roll out his pills,as though thedistribution of poison were but one of the ordinary functions of his craft. We will not enlarge upon this theme. The humanity or pre caution of individuals may induce them to hesitate at times. Few druggists, probably, and few druggists' apprentices, would vend a poisonous drug to a man who rushed into the shop with a disturbed look and haggard eye. This, however, is a defence too slight and insufficient for the community. Crime and de spair have a thousand shifts. A simulated toothache will induce an apothecary's boy "to make up three penn'orth of laudanum" at one shop, and three penny worth more can be obtained in the same way else where. Rats are troublesome, and a small portion of arsenic is required to destroy them withal. While the sale of poison is legal, there can be no difficulty in hatching up a pretext by which it may be obtained. Here is an instance :—On Tuesday last, Sarah Rich was brought up before Mr. Hammill, at Worship street, at the instance of the authorities of the London Hospital, charged with having attempted to destroy herself by swallowing a large quantity of laudanum. "Mr. Samuel Birch, house-surgeon at the hospital, who attended to support the charge, stated that he felt it his duty to adopt those "proceedings in consequence of the numerous cases of a similar kind which had recently come under his professional notice, and the frequent re currence of which he attributed in a great measure to the indiscriminate and mischievous manner in which poisons of almost every description were constantly sold over the counters of druggists and other persons who dealt in such articles. The prisoner was brought to the hospital, in a state of complete stupefaction, on the night of Tuesday week, and, after the usual means had been successfully resorted to , to dislodge the poison, and restore her to c onsc i ousness, she voluntarily acknow ledged' having taken no less than sixpennyworth of laudanum, which she had purchased at two different shop but at neither of which, it appeared, had the slightest precaution been adopted to guard against its improper application. The investigation of several previous cases having disclosed the same culpable want of caution in almost every instance, he was induced to give the pri soner into custody, not so much with the view of pressing for her individual punishment as to place the subject under the ju iicial notice of' the magistrate, in the hope that he would be able to suggest some mode of imposing a check upon the fatal facility at present afforded for the commission of such offences." We cannot help thinking that in this case there must have been something peculiarly gross in the facility with which the unfortunate woman obtained the deadly drug. It appeared, in the course of the discussion before the magistrate, that she laboured under mental aberration, and when questi one d cou ld give utterance to nothing but a few incoher en t observations. It is difficult toconceive that h er manner at the tim e s h e purchased the poison should have been devoid of such excitement as would natu rally have raised suspicion in any reasonable mind. Her married daughter was i n attendance. With this person she had resided, and it appeared that some f am ily quarrels had been the cause which had driven her to the desperate act. It was at the termination of these, no doubt, that she formed the resolution, rushed out into the street, and found no difficulty in obtaining the laudanum as stated by Mr. Birch. F ro m this gentleman's evidence it appeared that absolutely the only restriction upon the sale of these deadly drugs is that the chemist who vends them shall affix to the phial a label inscribed in legible characters w ith the word " Poison." King John, if we remem sayi to Hubert in th e play ber right, st How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds Makes ill deeds done!" If the desire for destruction could not be gratified at the moment, so variable and fluctuating is the mind of man, especially wh en under the influence of high excitement, mos t probably it wou ld pass off and b e replaced by calmer and less guilty thoughts. The horrible disclosures, that have recently taken pl ace i n Essex show that the crime of secret poisoning is not Here t again, confined to the urban population alone. had a difficulty existed in obtaining tihteisarsenic with more than which the crimes were, perpetrated,occ Loose and f ce a r t a te te s d tin t g br t o h a e t probable they would never have ured. unsatisfactory as is the present mode of lacerated causes of death, a blackened.d face considerable practical would have given too.evi ent indication of the the sale of arsenic, as it mur derer's guilt.

CELIBACY. —Singleness is not always the con sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did they feel theraselves equal to its obligations; and the . chequered page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent erec tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which his affianced wcald he plunged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a greet where this history is not enacted; and yet with the exercise ,of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage, have more than ono primary source ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising front four causes ;—natnely, Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early ilabits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; __ and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next coerces of Importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are,prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im- pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instaaces it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. such will dad all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of which has just been published by Its Authors, J.

It appeared by the evidence of . James Lomax, collier, that the deceased was his waggoner, and on the 6th instant they- were at work in the engine pit, at Spath Bot toms Colliery, near Rochdale, belonging to Mr. Thomas Knowles. The deceased and witness were at their work, when the young man went up the air road for two picks ; he had a lamp with him, but it was without a top. An explosion of fire-damp took place; deceased was severely burnt and otherwise injured. He was attended by a person named Rose, but he died at ten o'clock on Thursday night last According to the rules of the colliery, persons using a lamp without a top are liable to a fine of 2s, 6d., and the young man had been previously warned of it.

OCTOBER 20, 1848. Pendant was the holder of a house in which the prose cutor, his wife, and family were lodgers ; quar rels arose between the wives of the prose cutor and the defendant, and as the report gently insinuates, these quarrels " coupled with causes of a pecuniary character, determined Mr. Dolby to get rid of his lodgers." Whether he re sorted to distraining the goods of the lodger in order to satisfy his claim for rent, or adopted any other the many means which the law allows a landlord in such a case, the report does not clearly inform us; we ,we merely told, in general terms, that when "no other means succeeded," Mr. Dolby "caused his ap prentice to put some chemical matter into a pot, and having set it on fire, to place it close to the door of the room which was in the occupation of the prosecutor's family." Thus Mr. Dolby's skill was exerted in this manasuvre ; his knowledge as a practical chemist was called into action ; science was used to effect what he dared not attempt by force, and what he could only gain at law by a process too tedious, perhap s , f or hi s active impatie nce . H e tr i e d to smoke out his tenants, but he did it in a scientific manner; and what might, from an ordinary man, have been a mere annoyance, became, in the hands of a practical chemist, a highly dangerous infliction. In fact, says the report "not only Mrs. Wild, but all the children were nearly suffocated. They remained very ill for some days ; whilst Mrs. Wild became extremely ill, as she had not long been out of her confinement." The mixture which the science of the defendant enabled him thus cruelly to employ, and which he set his apprentice to fire, was one evolving phosphuretted hydrogen, which the medi ca l w it nesses d ec l ared to be one of the most offensive and noxious of all the gases. Such appear to have been, in substance, the facts of the case, as detailed at the Middlesex Court of Quarter Sessions; and on these facts the question left by the Judge to the jury was, whether the defendant had placed the mixture at the door of the prosecutor's room with the intention of injuring the health of his family, or simply as a means of annoy ance. Now, in this case, where the defendant's knowledge of the deleterious qualities of the com pound was undoubted, the jurors had surely nothing to do with his "intention," except so far as their opinion respecting it might, or might not, induce them to recommend the Court to pass a lenient sentence. But being thus called on to pronounce on the point of " intention," they found that the intention was that of annoyance; whereupon the prosecutor's counsel, rather unad visedly, at once consented to a verdict of acquittal. As to this particular case itself, we say nothing ; every one will form his own opinion of the defendant's conduct. But the blunder committed by the Judge deserves notice, for it may mislead other chairmen of quarter sessions, and may introduce a mode of deal ing with such cases no less mischievous than illegal. If .the defendant knew what must be the effect of the burning mixture, the question of intention was not one of fact, but of law—a question not for the decision of the jury, but of the judge. In the lan guage of Lord Ellenborough, " when a man is charged with doing an act of which the probable consequence may be highly injurious, the intention is an inference of law from the doing of the act." If a man placed a loaded gun at the door of a room, knowing that there were human beings in that room, and then fired it' off, and killed one of those human beings, the law would i mp l y mal i ce on his part against the particular individual so killed, and an indictment alleging such malice would be good. This has been so often decided that it is difficult to conceive how Mr. Sergeant Adams can have been ignorant of the principle. It would be fatal to the safety of society if the law did not adopt such a doc trine; for otherwise a man might wilfully fire a pistol among the passengers of a crowded street, and then escape punishment, on the ground that he had no ex• press malice against the individual on whom his shot took deadly effect. In the case of the loaded gun, the law presumes malice on the part of the man who wilfully fires it off among his fellow-creatures, be cause the destructive qualities of the weapon are known to all. The same presumption would not apply indiscriminately with respect to a chemical cam pound, since every one does not know the nature of such a compound, and the effects which it is capable of producing. But these things must be known to a " practical chemist," and the existence of such knowledge raises the legal presumption of that unlawful intention which is requisite to support an indictment, and to make a defendant punishable for his act. The I mode in whi c h thi s case was left to the jury in volves a principle as dangerous to society as it is unwarranted by law. The result produced by the burning mixture was injurious —it might have been fatal. Apply the principle of Mr. Sergeant Adams' direction to the jury to any other case--to that of a loaded gun, of a train of gunpowder laid at a person's door, or of arsenic scattered over his food— and the perilous tendency of Mr. Sergeant Adams' reasoning becomes at once apparent. We will ven ture to say, that there is not one of the fifteen judges who, in any of the cases supposed, would dream of telling a jury to consider whether the intention had been merely to frighten by the 'discharge of the gun, to fill the room with smoke by the firing the train, or to produce tem porary sickness by the employment of the arsenic. The use of such things in such a manner is unlawful and criminal, and if death follows from their premeditated use, the law accounts the act felonious. The knowledge of the quality of the thing used implies, in the consideration of the law, the malicious intention • and deliber a t eness i n t h e choice and empl oyment of materials gives to the legal the force of a moral presumption. It is to be hoped that there were, in this case, mitigating circumstances which the report does not disclose; there might have been likewise, for aught we know, other objections to the indictment; but the direction of the:Judge, as it now stands recorded, is, as to this particular point of the defendant's " intention," undoubtedly erroneous and unquestionably mischievous. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. Yesterday the magistrates of the county of Mid dlesex met at Hicks' Hall, Clerkenwell, for the trans action of the usual county business. Mr. Pownall occupied the chair. The Court proceeded to receive the reports of the various committees. The report of the finance committee recommended the Court to authorise the county treasurer to pay bills to the amount of 11,3711. 61. ld , which was agreed to. Tin PRISON REPORTS.—From the reports of the visiting justices of the various prisons it seemed that the general health of all those establishments was good. In CAdbathfields there were 896 male and 265 female prisoners; in the Westminster Bridewell, 541 male, 295 female, and 14 infant prisoners; and in the House of Detention there were 73 male and 30 female prisoners : total, 2,114. The report stated that the abolition of the treadmill, as far as female prisoners were concerned, had been attended with re sults of a most beneficial kind. The space formerly occupied by those ponder ous mac hi nes was now occupied by workshops, in which the female pri soners were taught tailoring, dress• making, and various other useful handicrafts, by which, on 'their release from prison, on the expiration of their sentences, they could be enabled to earn a subsistence by honest industry. The effects of the alteration were,indeed so gratifying, that the justices hoped soon to see the treadmills in the male depart ments likewise abolished. Several boys had been so well drilled on the model ship in the prison, that they were proficient enough to be sent to sea, and there seemed to be no doubt but that they would prove able and good seamen. The regulations by which well behaved prisoners became periodically entitled to stripes, indicative of good conduct, similar to the system in the army, had also producel results of a highly satisfactory character.--The Court then elected visiting committees, and a mortgage on the county rates for 10,0001. fur the New Lunatic Asylum was executed. A discussion of some duration then took place relative to a special report upon the mode in which the Court elected the visiting justices. Ultimately the Court decided that in future no magistrates should be on the committee of two prisons at one time, excepting the chairman of any committee, who will be on the committee of all the prisons, and that the clerk of the peace should pre pare a list of all those magistrates who were willing to serve as visiting justices. THE COUNTY RATE. —On the motion of Mr. r PRESIIFIELD a committee was appointed t o consider whether any and what measures ar e necesslry to facilitate the assessment of the cou n t y rape, Id to provide for the occasional variation s in the rateable valuab!e of particular localities in th e county. Messrs. Child, Reeves, Wright, and R eyno ld s were re-appointed inspectors of weights and measures for the ensuing year. The Court received the annual returns of the go vernors, chaplains, and surgeons of the county pri sons, and ordered them to be recorded. The Court transacted other routine business, and soon after adjourned. Brighton is full of visitors. All the hotels are overflowing; and the arrivals continue to greatly out number the departures, Brighton is now decidedly the gayest of the gay. [PRICE . SD. NAVAL INTELLIGEI'i.CE.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. By a misprint in the account of the opening of the Great Northern, it was stated that " in a few years the dues of the port of Grimsby had risers from 3,000/. to 7,0001.' It should have been 70,0001. PROPOSALS FOR REMEDYING THE PRESENT DEPRES. SIOY.- 7 -A large body of influential railway proprietors at Liverpool and other places are getting up mmemorisl to the directors of the London and North-Western and idland.Railways, suggestive of the best means of re storing Confidence and remedying the present depression. It is being circulated and signed on the Exchange, and urges on theitttention. of directors the following im portant points :-That the capital accounts shall be closed as soon as possible; that all outstandine ' accounts of the legal advisers shall b e exam i ne d and paid off; that the erikineering expenses shall be placed on the most economical footing ; that the expenses at present being incurred• in enlarging stations be limited, and that no such further expinses be incurred without the sanction of a majority 'of the shareholders; also, that no further engagements, whether contracts for new lines, the Bills of which have been sanctioned by Parliament, an d con tracts ,works not let, ho entered into without such sanction; the rates of fare and tolls of all kinds not pro ductive of a fpir remuneration to the shareholders for their otitlay and risk, be raised at once, and where Par liament has limited the powers of raising ouch rates and tolls, that application be made next session to enahle the directors to raise them to a remunerative scale; that the number of. trains be reduced as far as practiedale; that the express trains, except one per day at an increased rate of fare, be taken off, and that first, second, and third class trains be run separately, at a speed in pro portien to the amount of fare paid. That the boards of directors be reduced, that one-third retire annually, and that the, new directors be proposed by the proprietors, and not chosen by the board. By the coppletion and opening of the great bridges over the Tyne and Tweed on the North British, pas sengers are now enabled t o t rave l b y the East Coast route to Edinburgh and Glasgow without change of carriage. The train leaving Edinburgh at 9.30 AI L reaches York at half-past three, and London soon after ten o'clock. THE RAILWAY TO BAGENALSTOWN.-We regret to learn that the works of the South Eastern Railway, which were to connect the Carlow line with our city and the completion of which by next summer was so posi tively promised in a recent report of the directors, were discontinued in the early part of last week, and that it is not probable that they will be again resumed this year. Eleven miles of railway was only necessary to complete the line from this to the present terminus at Bagenals. town, and it is most unfortunate far the interests of Kil kenny that want of funds should cause the discon• tinuance of the works at present.-Kilkenny Moderator.
