ETEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of G RI M STONE'S AROMATIC REGENE RATOR. _ _ _ If you are in want •f that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer. an 11•=. bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his Pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Iterbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, tinier the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two Postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7E. gd., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The lls. size contains four of the is. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect fbr a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Ey - e Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar.,et, Ileadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed. it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of J A, oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Fitamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Esq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18 th February, 1525. This was on account cf its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

Thomas Prouty " 14th June, 1847. " Sia,—llaving suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Fills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my lif e : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, 3 ou are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "J. J. WILSON."

The question is often debated, Where is the best market to buy the necessaries of lifo, ? among the more important ~ f which may be enumerated tea, coffee, and sugar. There exist different opinions, as is sure to b:: the case, and ever will be, until people know how to decide vk hat constitutes cheapness. Tea is an article of such general consumption that its quality and price are very essential considerations. There exists great difficulty in judging its value by appearance, and families, to secure good qualities, are frequently induced to pay extravagant prices. Why should this be ? The importations for several years have been re markably large, comprising unusually fine selections ; the markets have ruled low; and the public are fairly entitled to the advantages arising therefrom. Our - invariable custom is to accommodate our prices with the mar ket currency. We are enabled at present to sell exceedingly goad Black Tea at 3s. 4d. ; very superior at 3s. Bd. ; and very full and fine flavoured at 4s. For the Finest Black Tea imported we are charging only ss. per pound. Coffees are also very reasonable, notwithstanding the recent ad vance in prices. We can confidently recommend good Coffee at Is. 2d. ; very good at Is. 4d. ; and very choice at Is. 6d.; and Is. Bd. per pound for the finest. We Invite a comparison of our articles and prices.

OXFORD ART SOCIETY.—A meeting was held by permission of the curators, at the Taylor Building, yesterday evening at eight o'clock, the Vice. Chan cellor in the chair, when a lecture on the method of studying ancient art was given by Charles Newton, Esq., M.A., student of Christ Church and of the British Museum. The lecture, which was of a highly interesting character, gave rise to an animated discussion, , in which the Vice-Chancellor, the Princi pal of New Inn Hall, the Rev. Vaughan Thomas, Mr. Collins, the eminent sculptor, and others joined, relat ing chiefly to some valuable remains of the age of Phidias, which Mr. Newton had detected among the marbles in the Pomfret collection, now deposited in the Randolph Galleries. No formal resolutions were come to but several gentlemen, includi ng th e Vi ce - Chancellor, expressed a wish that a society for the study of the fine arts, similar in its constitution to that which already exists in the University for the promotion of the study of mediaeval architecture might be organized. The names of a committee appointed some time ago were laid before the meeting. It is to be regretted that a larger number of the heads of societies were not present. •Among the senior members of the University in the room we observed Dr. Acland, the Revs. Vaughan Thomas, Richard Greswell, William Hayward Cox, William Edward Buckley, Thomas Harding Newman, Thomas Chaffers, John Hungerford Pollen, &c., &c., and a tolerable sprinkling of bachelors and under graduates. THE NEW EXAMINATION STATUTE.—It is under stood that the New Examination Statute has passed the Hebdomadal Board, and that it will be promul gated in convocation in the ensuing Lent Term. DAY OF THANKSGIVING.—The Queen's proclama tion appointing this day for a general thanksgiving to Almighty God, to acknowledge his great goodness and mercy in relieving us from tie sore judgment of grievous sickness and mortality which has lately afflicted our land, was most religiously observed throughout the University and city. Business of all kinds was suspended, and the various parish churches and dissenting chapels, &c., were opened for divine service, and at many of them collections in aid of local charities were made. Service at some of the churches was performed four times during the day. UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. PROFESSOR SMITH'S LECTURE. On Monday Professor Smith delivered one of a series of lectures on music, in the Dining-hall of Trinity College, before a select and fashionable audience. he commenced by observing that the genius of Guido had made great improvements in the mechanical and harmonica! arrangements of music ; and it was no less interesting than instructive to con sider at what period modern languages were first applied to musical tones, and by what people. He did not mean to speak of the airs of melodies that Caine within the description of national music—such as the old airs of Ireland or Scotland, which might almost be considered as natural to the people of th ose _ n ten tiou was to onn. eider the subject of music as a matter of science framed upon a complete scale and under such regu lations of art as successful cultivation rendered respectable and worthy of being imitated. Each nation had its peculiar songs—the Indian had his war, the Italian his love song. The learned lecturer then alluded to the songs of Provence, as sung by the Troubadours, and to the fact that although the Troubadours were not able to diversify notations or mark the time in music properly, it was supposed that they laid the germ of the future melodies of France and Italy. The Provençal was the language of poetry. The Princes of Provence often practised the divine art ; and Richard the First, during the latter end of his father's reign, passed his time prin cipally at the Court of Provence, learned the language of the country, and beguiled his leisure hours with " the gay science" of poesy. The most ancient melody, set to Provençal words, was written by a Troubadour named Gaucelm. The subject was the death of Richard the First; and as it was supposed to be one of the first, if not the very first, melodies of Provence wedded to a modern translation, it might prove interesting to the audience. The lecturer then played the air, which attracted much attention and admiration, and proceeded to treat of Irish melodies. He passed a high eulogium upon Sir John Ste venson, Moore, and Edward Bunting; and next alluded to the fact that most of the Troubadours were practical musicians, and enumerated several French melodies to show that the French people had been highly instrumental in the cultivation of music and poetry. The French were still a people as es sentially musical and poetical as ever, although of latter days they were not as successful in producing as many brilliant composers as Italy; and while in the olden time they were very successful in the practice of vocal music; they were by no means behind hand in instrumental music or the invention of musical in struments, for which all periods, even to the present time, they had been celebrated, as in the thirteenth century—their list comprised no less than thirty dif ferent instruments. A piece supposed to have been per formed upon some of their instruments, and written about that time, had been preserved ; and, in conclu sion, he would introduce it to his audience, as afford ing some idea of the style and character of French instrumental music in those days. The lecture was listened to throughout with marked attention, and was made principally attractive by the Provençal and French melodies by which it was happily illustrated.—Saunders's News Letter. CAPE or GOOD HOPE.—Letters from:the Cape of Good Hope have been received, via St. Helena, to the 4th of September. According to these it appears that the Neptune, with the first batch of convicts on board, had not then arrived out. THE MEXICAN MAlL. — Telegraphic advices by way of New York convey information that the Mexi can steamer, due at Southampton on the 22d instant, has through incessantly heavy gales been delayed a week in the Gulf of Mexico. As the vessel must, consequently, be several days behind her estimated time in reaching England, it will be satisfactory to parties interested to learn the cause of her detention. The day of her arrival will, probably, be about the 28th instant. ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.—There were 111 public Acts passed in the late session, all of which, with the exception of one, are in operation. The exception re lates to the repeal of the navigation laws, which will come into force on the Ist of January next. It is said that the discovery has been made in Lin coln that gutta percha can be used for large printing letters, and that impressions can be obtained nearly as clear as the impressions from metal types. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —THE SECRET OF HEALTH. -- It is as necessary to preserve the balance between the organs and their work as it is to proportion any other means or agents to the ends for which they exist. Put a greater strain upon a rope than it is cal culated to bear, or a heavier weight upon a vehicle, and the rope will snap and the vehicle break down. " 'Tis the last pound that breaks the camel's back." The pro cess by which the animal powers sink under the over pressure of their energies is gradual, and, to a great ex tent, imperceptible, in cases of robust constitutions, where endurance lasts with seemingly unimpaired vigour till nature suddenly gives way. Be careful, therefore, of the slight indisposition by which this secret process betrays itself. A medicine like Cockle's Antibilious Pills will be found invaluable for this service. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—DreadfuI Wounds in a Leg soundly cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. Henry Gray, typographer, residing at No. 6, Temple-lane, City, states that he suffered the most excruciating pains in his leg for a considerable time, occasioned by an accident which he unfor tunately met with ; two deep wounds formed in his leg in con sequence of it, and although he tried various lotions and oint ments, yet all were found entirely useless.

Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to issue the following royal letter, on learning that the funds of the above society (including the special fund for the mining and manufacturing districts) are now, and have been for some months, entirely exhausted " VICTORIA R.—Most Reverend Father in God, our right trusty and right entirely beloved councillor, we greet yo u we ll. W hereas the president and go vernors of the Incorporated National Society for the Education of the Poor in the principles of the Esta blished Church in England and Wales, have, by their petition, humbly represented unto us that the presi dent and governors of the society have now, during a period of thirty-eight years, zealously and persever ingly laboured to carry into effect the great work for which the society was incorporated, and that they have now expended the whole of the funds which either through the munificence of the sovereign, or the liberality of the public, have been placed at their disposal for the purpose of extending and improving education among the poorer classes; that the produce of the collections made under the authority of the royal letters, which for some time past have been triennially granted on their petition, has been mainly expended in building school rooms and teachers' residences, permanently secured for the education of the children of the poor, and in the organization and improvement of those already erected ; that the general principles upon which the . society has conducted its operations have received the sanction of the Legislature, as well as the approbation of our subjects at large; that the plan which the society has pursued since tits foundation in 1811, of encouraging local voluntary efforts, by granting moderate sums of money to aid in the erec tion of schools and teachers' houses, has been adopted by our Government in distributing the grant voted away by Parliament, in furtherance of national edu cation ; and that, with respect to the approval and co opertion of the people in general, it will be sufficient to observe that the number of children attending schools in immediate connexion and correspondence with the society amounted, in the year 1813, to 40,484, in 1833 to 400,830, in the year 1837 to 597,911, and in the year 1847, when the last return was made, to 816 874, and has since proportionately increased; while the whole number of children in attendance at church schools is estimated at above a million and a half; that the training institutions maintained by the society have during the last five years sent out 1,042 trained teachers (553 masters and 489 mistresses) into schools in various parts of the country ; that during the last five years the society have expended, in aid of building, enlarging, or otherwise improving school rooms and teachers' residences, 139,1971. 1 ls., in 1,940 cases of application, thereby affording accommodation for 265,542 children, at a total outlay of 767,9801.; that the great progress which has been made in extending education amongst the poor renders more desirable than ever the adoption of effective measures for its improvement ; and that for this purpose the society will continue to maintain its central schools for boys, girls, and infants, and will afford support to its vari ous establishments for instructing and training young persons of either sex, as well as adults, to be teachers, and will give aid towards the expense of inspecting, organizing, and remodelling schools, so that the most improved methods of teaching may be speedily and effectually spread throughout the country ; that the great progress which has been made in extending education among the poor renders more desirable than ever the adoption of effective measures for its improvement, and that for this purpose the society will continue to maintain its central schools for boys, girls, and infants, and will afford support to its various est a bli s h men t s f or i ns t ruc ti ng and training young persons of either sex, as well as adults, to be teachers, and will give aid towards the expense of inspecting, organizing, and remodelling schools, so that the most approved methods of teaching may be speedily and ,effectually spread throughout the country; that, as well from the rapid increase of the population of this kingdom, as from the numerous applications continually made to the society both for aid towards erecting schoolrooms and for the services of duly qualified teachers, it is evident that liberal contributions to the society will be required, in order to meet the demands for assistance constantly made upon its resources, the increase of which demand is one of the many proofs of the general feeling which exists throughout the country, strengthened by the late events in other nations, that it is only by pro v Luaus - u auuma a CI IgIiJULS au WasCl,., 11-IT • masses of the population that the social and religious institutions of these kingdoms can he preserved : " We, taking the premises into our Royal conside ration, and being always ready to give the best en couragement and countenance to undertakings which tend so much to the promotion of piety and our holy religion, direct that these our letters be directed to the several suffragan bishops within your diocese, &c., so that the minister in each parish do effectually excite their parishioners to a liberal contribution, &c., the results to be paid over to the treasurer for the time being of the said society, &c.

On Wednesday morning an inquest was held before Mr. \V. S. Rutter, of Manchester, county coroner for the hundred of Salford, on the body of a young man named Thomas Weaver, who had been killed on the railway between Bolton and Manchester, on Monday afternoon. The following are the circumstances of this shocking fatality :—The Bolton Railway, as it is generally called, was constructed about ten or twelve years since, and though the works are generally of a substantial character, there is one feature about the bridges which carry the various turnpike and other roads over it which has often raised apprehensions in the minds of thoughtful persons for the safety of pas sengers. These bridges consist of straight horizontal beams of iron across the line, supported upon cast iron pillars. Rows of these pillars, at each bridge, were fixed between the various lines of rails, and were so near to the carriages as they passed that any person leaning thoughtlessly out of a carriage window was liable to have his skull fractured by coming in contact with them. Strange as it may appear, however, with this danger in the way, on one of the railways having the greatest amount of passenger traffic of any in the kingdom, for fire or six years there were fewer acci dents on this line than on any other. A few years ago the line came into the possession of the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Company, who have sought to remedy this objection to their line, and commencing at the Bolton end they have removed bridge after bridge to substitute others of a better construction, till the work of reconstruction had reached Pendleton, near to Manchester, where this accident took place. Thomas Thornley, a companion of the deceased, and witness at the inquest, described how the accident took place. He said, Weaver lived at 72, Chapel street, London-road, Manchester, and on Sunday he and deceased went by the railway to Bolton. They took tickets at th e P en dl eton station, and deceased had a gun with him of a novel construction, which he showed to the railway porter at the station before they started. They returned to Manchester by the train which left Bolton at three o'clock on Monday afternoon, in a third-class close carriage; and as the train did not stop at Pendleton, deceased (who was anxious to let the railway porter know they were returning) said to witness, "Jew, I'll pop (point) the gun at the porter." Deceased got his gun out of the window, and then put his head and shoulders opt also, to do what he had stated. In a few minutes they passed the station-house, and in another moment—for the bridge at Pendleton is not many yards from the station—the unfortunate man's head came in contact with one of the pillars support ing the bridge. Witness said Weaver's head re bounded from the pill ar aga i ns t th e oppos it e side of the carriage window, and he then sank back upon his seat in the corner of the railway carriage. In a few minutes the train arrived at the Salford station, which . is the Manchester terminus of the railway, and witness perceiving that his companion was insensible, .and that his head was dreadfully fractured, and his brains scat tered about the carriage, called for the assistance . of the railway servants, and , Weaver was carried . to the Salford Dispensary. he surgeon of the Dispensary said, though Weaver was insensible when brought to the house, about four o'clock, he continued to breathe till about half-past ten o'clock the same night, when he died. The porter at the Pendleton station w as examined, and said he saw th e h ea d s of two men ou t of one of the carriages as they approac h e d t h e s tation, but the motion of th e t ra i n was too rap i d for him to recognize them. He waved his hand and ges ticulated with a v i ew to warning these parties to draw their heads into the carriage. He looked after them as the train passed und e r th e b r id ge, an d no l onger perceiving them, supposed all was right. He did not hear of the accident till afterwards. The jury found a verdict (after hearing a statement from the company's servants similar to that above given of the gradual removal of the pillars) to the effect that the fatality was accidental, but expressed an opinion that there had been unnecessary delay in completing the work.— Worcestershire Chronicle.

Diffidence, or a tense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em eltterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eomprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness And social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item n the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or ,eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

S SHIPWRECK. Lompson, of Ayr, arrived at a St. John's, reports that on lat. long. 20 28 W. ;oath StoStockton,ornwea s ti e ,_ ;ed. The circumstances are as follows :—The brig left Quebec on the Bth of September, for Newcastle. On October 11 the brig was running in a heavy gale of wind from the westward ; at eight P.M. the master jud ge d it neces sary to heave the ship too, which he did un d er close reefed maintopsail ; at midnight they tried the pumps, and found her to make the usual quantity of water; at four a.m. they again tried the pumps, but could not get her to suck ; all hands were immediately called, but still she gained upon them. They then sounded her, and found eight feet water in her hold. In this dilemma they considered it vain to pump longer, but rather begin to prepare for the worst. They put a considerable quantity of provi sions, water, and other articles in a large house, which the vessel had on deck, which, just having succeeded in doing, the vessel suddenly careened over on her beam ends, and washed the master and a boy overboard. She then hove the deck cargo off, carrying away the topmasts and rudder, and sweeping the decks of everything, house and all, and afterwards she gradually began to right. The men now took to the tops, and made a cover of canvas around them, to save them as m uc h as poss ibl e f rom the severity of the weather. In this state they remained eleven days without any assistance, excepting a very small quan tity of water, when one of them died; they were under the necessity of eatieg a small portion of their com panien. 'They continued drooping one by one till they were all dead but Robert Hogg, chief mate, and Henry Leslie, second mate, who sustained themselves by eating a small portion of their companions, and drinking their blood. They were in this deplorable situation 25 days, when, on the sth of November, the Helen Thompson, in company with the barque Ganges, came up with her, it then blowing fresh gales N.N.W., with ' a heavy sea running. The Helen Thompson succeeded in putting out a boat, and bring ing the suffers on board in a very exhausted state. The chief mate recovered very fast, but the second mate still remains in a very poor state of health, having very sore hands and feet. THE NAVY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—The noble profession of which I am a bumble member cannot but feel grateful for the late remarks in your valuable journal on the subject of the Royal Navy, more particularly the treatment of its junior members, the commanders and lieutenants, who after attaining the age of 40 (if not possessed of para mount interest) are laid on the shelf as ineligible, and all the applications for employment, from long and arduous service, quite unheeded. The principle, I understand, the Board of Admi ralty go upon is to instil young blood into the service, which may be plausible enough, but surely it is very hard upon those who have served, and are willing again to serve, to be thrown aside, and kept upon the half-pay of their respective ranks only, without any prospect of obtaining that rank (captain) they were ambitious of on first entering the Royal Navy. There are only 14 out-pensioners of Greenwich Hospital for commanders, lieutenants 51, which I think an additional grievance to us unfortunates— (there are many others, of which, no doubt, you must be aware); whilst the seniors have, in addition to the late grant of retirement, and gradually increasing half pay, from 10A. 6d. to 14s. 6d., ten naval aides de camp and 21 good service pensions, independent of other good things at their Lordships' disposal to captains only. The admirals are old veterans, of which we juniors do not so much complain. In having made the above statement, and hoping your advocacy and that of other public journals, I trust.you will have no objection to comment upon it in your valuable piper, as the complaint and grievance of an old commander of nearly 20 years standing, 45 years in the Royal Navy, nearly 25 of which on sea service, but not since his promotion to his presentrank. I remain, Sir, your humble servant, AN OLD COMMANDER. November 15 , 1849. EMBARKATION OF SIR HENRY AND LA DY LYTTON 13 ULWER FOR THE UNITED STATES.•—•PORTS•• MOUTH, THURSDAY EVENING.—His Excellency Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer, accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Fenton, and two gentlemen attach 63, arrived from London on Wednesday evening, at the Portland Hotel, Southsea. In consequence of the boisterous state of the eather the party could not embark till to-day, when the Commander-in-Chief placed the Myrtle steamer at his Excellency's disposal, to convey the party to the Hecate at Spithead. At a quarter past one, the Myrtle having come alongside the Victoria pier, the party em barked, having been met at the pier by Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen Cape', his flag-lieutenant, Mr. Corkran, and several other naval officers. Sir Henry and Lady Bulwer and suite were received on board the Hecate by Commander Shadwell, with manned yards. The weather is still wild-looking and squally; the wind a strong gale, but inclined to draw to the northward; it is now about N.W. It is therefore not likely that the Hecate will start from Spithead to-night unless the wind should moderate. A SHIP DESTROYED BY -FIRE OFF THE IBLE ur WIGHT. —About ten o'clock on Tuesday morning a large vessel was seen on fire off the Isle of Wight, abreast of Shanklin Bay. She was making for that place of shelter with all speed, and eventually the crew ran the vessel upon the sands at Shanklin, where they immediately abandoned her, as the whole of her cargo, consisting of upwards of eighty barrels of turpentine, was on Ste. The vessel, which was soon burnt to the water's edge, was bound to Bremen, from Wilmington, North Canada, and was called the Gazelle. Her loss is reported at 2,5001. DEATHS OF Two CHILDREN AND A DOG FROM EXPOSURE TO THE NV EATHER.--DUthig the last ten days great numbers of the poor of the neighbouring townships had frequented the strand to collect nuts, am, thrown up by the tide from the wreck of the Mischief; amongst others two little girls were observed, followed by a dog, and it is imagined that being disappointed in their expectations, and exhausted by hunger and cold, they had secured themselves under a hedge on Formby Rabbit:Warren, where they were found by the coast guard on going his rounds on Wednesday morning, both of them crouched together, and the deg, which appears to have been a faithful attendant, stretched across the breast of the eldest child, all stiff in death.—Liverpool Mail. TilF, KING'S ROAD, EATON -SQUARE.—It is with considerable reluctance that we again find it necessary to refer to the highly disgraceful condition of thi s fashionable locality, f o r w e had hopes and believed that the remarks which had been before made on the subject would have had the salutary effect of inciting the par ties who are responsible to the public for the proper con dition of the highways, either parochially or by virtue of their title to the ownership of the property, to a sense of their duties in this regard. The fine weather, however, has now been succeeded by dark rights of great length and a hazy atmosphere, and the former in convenient condition of the place for want of light has been rendered still more inconvenient, and in fact unsafe, either for vehicles or pedestrians passing the place after nightfall. When it is stated that we a night or two since observed a nuisance of a most offensive character being committed on the public path, in the absence of light to protect the place from common outrages on de cency, we think we shall have sufficiently illustrated the unprotected condition of one of the most wealthy and fashionable quarters of the metropolis. If, as is pretty generally understood, the parish authorities neglect to light this important road because the owner of the pro perty declines to perform certain other requirements on their part, we unhesitatit;glyassert that it is their bounden duty to put an end at once to the present great incon venience, and, having done so, to take such measures as they may deem requisite for the remaining public re quirements to be fulfilled. It is hoped that the several parties will. see the necessity of performing the duties vvhich respectively devolve upon them without further delay. THE FOREIGN MAlLS. — Yesterday being the day appointed for the General Thanksgiving for the cessa tion of the ravages of the cholera throughout the coun try, was observed as a strict holydsy at all the Govern ment offices, and no business of a public nature was transacted in any of the departments of the revenue. Arrangements were made, however, for the clearance of the stearn•yessels, which were appointed to sail again this morning with the Continental mails, in order to prevent any public inconvenience which would otherwise be experienced. THE NORTH MAIL ARRANGEMENTS.—The recent alterations in the north mail, have, we may say, excited universaUdissatisfaction. The newspapers in the north have all taken up the subject, and complain warmly of the new postal arrangements. We. in our last publica tion, quoted the complaint of a Fife contemporary, that copies of its journal took 48 hours to tra ve l f rom C upar to Kennoway, a distance of ten miles. Is this locomo tion, or arc the papers sent on a northern tour before delivery ? Perth, Dundee, and Aberdeen journals make similar complaints, and th e pu bli c b odies in these places are taking up the matter with spirit. For ourselves, we now receive the paper published on Tuesday morn ing in Aberdeen at three P.M. on Wedneseay ; while very often by private express, we have received the Aberdeen paper on Wednesday at the same hour. The Post office is therefor.t 24 hours later than it ought to be. Our Dundee and Perth papers are also delayed four or five hours by the new arrangement, and in no sense whatever has the alteration been an improvement. We may state, that at a meeting of newspaper proprie tors, held on Monday evening in the Royal Exchange Coffeehouse, a memorial was framed and ordered to be transmitted to the Postmaster-General, protesting against the present unsatisfactory arrangements, and respectfully craving redress.—Caledonian Mercury. The man Banks, who has been several times re manded on suspicion of having a guilty knowledge of the murder of the late Mr. Griffith, underwent another private examination yesterday afternoon, bi fore the ma gistrates, and was again remanded till to-morrow. As the examinations throughout have been carried on to the exclusion of reporters, we are not in possession of the facts, but we may state that Banks has attempted more than once to prove an alibi , but has most signally failcd, and there is no doubt that he was in 13right, - in on the night of the murder. Other parties are suspected, and the police are on the alert to apprehend them.—Briyhton G zette. of the d, the 41 ., of Lc Du I. q ., of )n of Liar -bill, v;lla, - ,ouis 87.
