Ashurst having been public;y impugned in letters inserted in the newspapers under the signature of George Remington, and this Board knowing that those imputations were, and are, wholly unfounded, deem it right to de clare that, to their knowledge, Mr. Ashurst's conduct, in connexion with the formation of this Company and its line of railway, was in every respect consistent with honour and professional integrity, and that he never submitted Mr. Remington's line of railway, or any other line of railway, to the promoters of this Company, but simply urged upon them the importance of a direct line of railway between London and Manchester. The Directors also think it right further to state that Mr. Re mington has addressed a letter to Mr. Ashurst entirely retracting the charges which he had made against him in the letters written and published in Mr. Remington's name.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route and to supply an important link of communication between the town Of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and llolbeacls Railways, the use will proceed by Bourn, ' Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymoudham, to a point on the Syston and Peterberough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary ; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan. tapes of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates ; and, In return traffic, the midland dis tricts will ohtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts; and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. Forms cf application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing-cross, where applications for shares, accom panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi sional Committee. ------- FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

London This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh, aad Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable lice to New castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to Newcastle. It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, mad Lancaster. The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the important towns on the termini is effected over any existing er pro jected scheme. It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests c. Jae Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of tine Act to the opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions only.

PRICE, SD. SIR ROBERT PEEL AND THE TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY. TAMWORTH, THURSDAY NIGHT.—The ceremony of " turn ing the first sod" of this important railway—which, as our readers are doubtless aware, is intended to shorten the present line of communication between the metropolis and the manu facturing districts of the north by a direct line from Rugby to Stafford—took place yesterday on a plot of ground in the vicinity of Tamworth. Sir Robert Peel having consented to perform this, the first mechanical operation in connexion with the undertak ing, a great deal of interest has been excited in the locality during the past fortnight, and a very considerable influx of visitors arrived in the town during yesterday and this morn ing, for the purpose of being present on the interesting oc casion. The Right Hon. Baronet has also taken the opportunity to assemble at Drayton Manor a circle of gentlemen, several of whose names are well known in connexion with the prin cipal railways in the kingdom. These include the lion. Colonel Anson, M.P., the lion. Captain C - irnegie, M.P., Mr. George Hudson, M.P., Mr. J. L. Ricardo, M.P., Captain A'Court. M.P., Mr. Edward Tootal, Deputy -Chairman of the Trent Valley Railway, the Mayor of Manchester (Mr. W. B. Watkins), Mr. IL Creed, Secretary of the London and Bir minghain Railway, &c., &c. This morning was ushered in by a merry peal from the bells of the church steeple, and as the day advanced, the in habitants of the surrounding districts poured into the town in large numbers. Time o'clock in the afternoon bad been the hour appointed for the ceremony to take place, but long before that hour the open space in front! of the Town-hall, where it had been arrang d the processio i should form, was densely crowded with spectators. At one o'clock the Mayor and Corporation sat down to a very handsome dejeuner, provided 17 the Direators, in the Tam-hall, at which Mr. Edward lootal (in the absence of Mr. Edmund Peel) presided. Ample justice having been done to the creature comforts, "The health of her Majesty" was drunk . with every mark of loyalty and respect. After which The CHAMMAN gave "The health of the Mayor and Cor poration of Tamworth," eulogising that body for the uniform assistance and support they had given to thepromoters of the Trent Valley Railway. - The Mayor of Tamwourn returned thanks, and proposed " The health of Mr. Edward Tootal," which was responded to with great enthusiasm. Mr. TOOTAL returned thanks, and next gave the healths of the Vice-Presidents of the day, Mr. Booth, of Liverpool, and Mr. Smith, of London. The toasts having been duly responded to, and appro priately acknowledged, The CHAIRMAN next gave "The health of Sir Robert Peel," remarking that the Right Hon. Baronet had the destinies of nations in los hands, and that coming from a commercial district as he (the Chairman) did, he did not hesitate to say that Sir Robert Peel possessed to an unlimited extent the confidence of that class of her Majesty's subjects. The nation were looking to the Right Hon. Baronet with the utmost confidence, and he (the Chairman) trusted that the measures which he would propound in due season would have for their object the benefit of the great mass of the inhabitants of this country. The toast was drank with enthusiasm, and at this period the Chairman retired to join his co-Directors, who were pre paring to receive Sir Robert on his arrival from Draytou Manor. After some delay Sir Robert's open landau drew up at the entrance to the hall. Here the Right Honourable Baronet was received by the Directors of the railway and the members of the Corporation. Sir Robert was accompanied by Lady Peel and Miss Peel, -the Hon. Colonel Ans•in, and the Mayor of Manchester. Captain A'Court, M.l'., rode on the box of the same carriage. Five or six other carriages followed, containing the guests at present enjoying the hospitality of the Right Honourable Baronet. The procession was now marshalled, and moved through the principal streets of the town in the following order : Officers to clear the way. Labourers bearing implements. The Mayor of Tamworth (Mr. F. Hunter), Succeeded by the following members of the borough corpora tion : Mr. Buckerfield, Mr. Nevill, Mr. Hall, Mr. Parsons, Mr. Bramall, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Browne, Mr. Hamel, Mr. F. Hamel, Mr. Woodcock, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Platts, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Willington, Town Clerk. Band of Music. Banners. The Carriage of the Right lion. Sir Robert Peel, followed by other Carriages. The Directors of the Railway. The Engineers and Contractors for the Work. Operative Smiths, Carpenters, Excavators, &c. The procession, after making the circuit of the hall, and proceeding dow❑ the principal street, passed into the Lich ,field-road, and thence to a plot of ground, about half a mile distant from the town, adjoining Staffordshire moor, where the line of railway had been marked out and inclosed for a considerable distance. _ As the procession moved along the Right Hon. Baronet was loudly cheere I by the spectators, and on reaching the . ground it was with the greatest difficulty that a sufficient space could lea cleared for bins to perfume the required opera tion. At length, an opening of about three yards square having been secured, Mr. E. PEEL then addressed the Right Hon. Bsronet as follows :—Sir Robert Peel, it devolves upon me, as chairman of the Trent Valley Railway Company, to address you upon this interesting occasion ; and although I regret e xceedingly, and I do not hesitate to express my regret, that that duty has not. fallen into abler bands, and upon some person snore conversant than myself with railway matters, and snore capable of giving expression to the feelings of those lion. Gentlemen who are connected with me, yet I shall ever feel proud that my name has been connected with the proceedings of this day; for I am confident that we arc assembled here on this occasion to witness the commencement of a great na tional undertaking, and one calculated to confer lasting bene fits on the inhabitants of those districts through which it will pass.—(Cheers.) Sir, I ant deputed to offer to you our sincere anti united thanks for the kind manner in which you have coin plied with our wishes ; that you should commence the first mechanical operation of this undertaking ; and it will ever be an important event in the annals of this railway that the "first turf was turned" by the Prime Minister of this empire. —(Cheers.) We know, Sir, that you supported the mea sure, but we are sensible that on no occasion have you unduly exercised on our behalf that influence which you possess from the position you hold in the councils of the country.—(Hear, hear.) We know that you supported our measure, from the connexion you have with the town of Tamworth. You felt that you were accomplishing your duty when you did all you could to assist us in passing our Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, we have been several years endeavouring to arrive at the position we have now the pride and happiness to have at tained, and upon all occasions when we have been struggling with a powerful opposition—an opposition now happily united with us—we have always received your most steady and strenuous support.—(Cheers.) Sir, the object of this railway is to connect the great manufacturing districts of the country with the metropolis, and to facilitate the inter course between Ireland and London.—(Hear, hear.) You ' were aware of the advantages which this line was calculated to afford, and I may safely assert, that no part of your duty is ever more agreeable to you than when you lend your aid and assistance to promote a work of public advantage and utility.—(Hear, hear.) I should be ashamed of my self if I did not participate in those feelings which I know are entertained by those whom I have the honour to address, for I am sure that this railway will con fer upon Tamworth the greatest possible advantages.— (Hear, hear.) I believe there is little doubt that Tamworth will be the great centre of England, and I have reason to be lieve that a central post-office will be placed its this town. — (Cheers.) Such being the advantages which we can all duly estimate, and considering my long family connexion with this town—considering also that the borough has long been represented by members of my family—l repeat, I should be ashamed if I did not participate in those feelings which 1 know are entertained by every inhabitant.—(Bear, hear.) I shall not detain you longer. It only remains for me to place the implement in your hands—an implement which I trust you will ever retain as a memento of an undertaking which you have so conscientiously and consistently sup ported—(Cheers)—and I have every reason to hope that this work, which has been so auspiciously commenced, will be completed in a niauner not only satisfactory to those more immediately connected with the railway, but to the public in general.—(Hear, hear.) I beg now to propose " Prosperity to the Trent Valley Railway." The sentiment with which Mr. Peel concluded his address was responded to by the spectators with great enthusiasm, and the spade —or, to speak more correctly, " navigator's tool," above referred to—having been handed to the Right Hon. Baronet, a momentary pause ensued, after which Sir R. PEEL, resting on the handle of the implement, spoke as follows :—Mr. Edward Peel, Mr. Mayor of Tam worth, and gentlemen, I have great satisfaction, in my capa city as one of the Members for this borough, in being present upon this occasion. I have always attempted to reconcile the performance of those public duties which official station impose upon me with the duties which I owe to my constituents—the inhabitants of this borough ; and I see no occasion whatever why that official station should prevent me from being present at a ceremony interesting to my constituents and to the inhabitants of this district. -(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, in that capacity, as a represen tative of this borough, I have given a cordial support to this undertaking. I gave it that support from a sin cere belief that it was calculated to be beneficial to this district in the interests of which I naturally take a warm concern ; but I supported it also front a conviction that the success of such an undertaking would be conducive to the public welfare.—(Cheers.) I thought the public welfare would be promoted by the estab lishment of a more direct and more immediate communica tion between the metropolis, on the one hand, and Dublin and a great part of Ireland, on the other—between the metropolis and the west of Scotland—between the Tetrephs , and that great commercial and manufacturing district of which Liverpool and Manchester are the capitals —(lleac.) It is probable that, on the completion of this railway, Dublin will be brought in point of time within 14 or 15 hours of London—that a letter posted in London on the evening of this day may be answered front Dublin on the morning of the . i day but one afterwards; that is to say, that Dublin, in re . I spect of PoSt-office communication, will be m exactly th e same position that this town o ccu p ies at present.—(Cheers.) I have every reason to believe that Manchester will be I brought within six or seven hours of London. I said on a ' former occasion that Manchester might be brought within . eight hours of London, and the statement was received with i incredulity; but I am sure I am not guilty of exaggeration, I when I state that Manchester and Liverpool will soon be brought within six or seven hours of London.—[The ex press trains already regularly perform the distance be tween London and Liverpool in six bouts. The Premier, however, doubtless referred to the general traffic.] It was, therefore, from a conviction on my part that a great public benefit would result f rom th e establiehment of this line of railway that I was induced to give it a warns and unremit ting support.—(Cheers.) I gave it my support on account of my connexions with this borough, in the belief that it was impossible that a town could be placed on the immediate line of communication between the metropolis and the meat im portant portions of Great Britain—in point of wealth—in point of population—and in point of commercial enterprise— without deriving great advantage therefrom.—(Cheers.) I know it has been said that the passage of a railway confers no advantage upon a town—indeed, that it may be produc tive of considerable personal disadvantage. All must admit that it may be productive of individual and partial disadvan tages—that some innkeepers may complain of a diminution of traffic, and that some retail dealers may complain of a dimn- I nition oftheirprofits. It is impossible to deny this—it is impcs sible not to regret it. But what is this but saying that for the great body of the community you have substituted cheaper and a better mode of communication, and given them access to a wider market ?—(Loud cheers.) So far as the great body of the people goes, there is no question bet that to be placed on a direct line of communication between the metropolis and Manchester and Liverpool and Dublin and Glasgow can be other than an advantage.— (Hear. hear.) There is another reason why I rejoice at being pre sent here. lam about to commence an undertaking which noneests that locality, which is the scat of iny proderty, and the place of my residence—a place upon which 1 look with those feelings of affection natural to us all—l am about to colt ect this town with that great manufacturing district of which Manchester is the capital, and which is so worthily represented on the present occasion by the Mayor of Man chester.—(Cheers.) And now, gentlemen, as I have an op portunity of addressing this company, I will take advantage of it to give some advice to the directors of this railway. I assure them there are many persons in this neighbourhood who have made sacrifices of private feeling in consenting to give up their land for the purposes of this railway.—(llear, hear.) They have given that consent from the conviction that this undertaking was one conducive to the public benefit, and that considerations of private interest should not obstruct the public good ; and also from the knowledge that they were het giving it to one of those ephemerat schemesproposed expressly fur gambling' speculations. They have given their con sent in the confidence and belief that the directors of this railway are men influenced by the honourable ambition of conferring a public benefit on the districts with which they arc themselves immediately connected, looking not so much to any pecuniary gain they may derive, as to the grateful acknowledgments of their fellow-citizens flm public services rendered.--(Cheers.) Now the piemoters of this scheme he exposed to formidable difficulties, and great oppo sition from other railways proposing to pass through the sa:ne district; and if this is not the best railway between London and Manchester—if this is not the mist direct com munication with Manchester, I fairly say, in the face of my constituents, that no consideration of local benefit or advan tage would prevent me from supporting another line.— (Ilear, hear.) But the way i n w id t h the Directors must establish their claim to a 'continuance of the privilege they rossese, is by being enabled to show that they combine the greatest degree of velocity with a correspoading degree of safety to the traveller.—(Cheers.) They n ust show th a t they have neglected nt, precaution that can have a tendency to diminish the risk of accidents—the frequent occurrence or which shakos the public confidence in railway travelling. They must make the sacrifice of pecuniary gain for, the pur pose of taking those precautions—they must show that they have consulted the comfort of all classes of railway tra vellers—of poor as well as rich-,they must be better pro . - sided with comfort and accommodation for all classes—the third as well as the first; and if they arc wise, they will, by moderate fares and comfortable accommodatiott, encourage that spirit of locomotion en which, after all, the permanent prosperity of railways must depend.—(Cheers.) I advise them to take this course from a comprehensive view of their own permanent interest as well as for the public good, and if they do that, then I shall, in " turning the first sod" on this day, not only be commencing a line of railway through the Trent Valley, but I shall be laying the foundation of a permanent and prosperous company, which can establish a claim to Parliamentary support more powerful than the union of great companies—more powerful than the can vassing of Members of Parliament—a claim to public sup port, which will be founded en the proof that a privilege conferred on a company has been exercised for the public advantage. I will now proceed to that part of my duty which consists in "turning the first sod" of this undertaking. The Right Hon. Baronet was loudly cheered on concluding his address. The Right lion. Baronet here dexterously filled the wheelbarrow with sods, and after wheeling it a few paces re turned to the position he had previously occupied, when Mr, WATK IN, the Secretary to the Company, presented him with the following address FIDDLE-FADDLE'S TOUR !!

" The Directors of the Trent Valley Railway have at length the pleasure of commencing those mechanical operations by means of which their lengthened struggle will speedily attain its consummation, and they sincerely thank you for the readiness with which you have consented to aid in those, their crowning labours. They derive the happiest auguries from the fact that the Prime Minister of the empire has found it not inconsistent with his position, while onerous duties press upon him, to share with them the triumphs of this important day—but they dwell with greater pride and more peculiar pleasure on the fact that one whose name is identified with the most momentous improvements of modern times should have selected this undertaking as worthy his especial support and consideration. " To the inhabitants of Tamworth the occasion is one of unusual interest. They cannot fail to see in the accomplish ment of this undertaking the seeds of great advancement to their town, restoring . as it will to this locality the advan tages which Rave been withdrawn froth it, opening the rich resources of the Valley of the Trent, and achieving, as well for them as fOr the empire, the more extt nded purpose of bringing into closer communion the metropolis of legislation and the metropolis of commerce and manufactures. " The Direjtore fervently hope that the advantages in which the county of Statlitrd is now about to participate will, in due time and with befitting care, be extended to the remotest districts, and that One +•hose enlightened policy has given new energy to the commerce of England, will continue his care and support to those great undertakings which bind the commonwealth more closely together." Mr. TotriAL here proposed three cheers for the Trent Val ley Riilway, which were given with great enthusilsm. Mr. YAMS PEEL suggested the same compliment for the ladies who had favoured the proceedings with their presence, and having been cheerfully responded to, the proceedings terminated.. . The spade, originally intended for the use of the Right Hon. Baronet on this occasion, was manufactured expressly for the purpose in Sheffield, but upon being examined by the com mittee apirinted to attend to the arrangements, it was not appr..)priate, and at a very late period, Messrs. Elkington and Co., of Birmingham, were instructed to make one in electro silver plate, which they succeeded in finishing in time. The metallic part of the spade is in electio silver, awl shaped somewhat in the form of an heraldic shield, sq 3 preserving the characteristic of.a spade, On the front is engraved the arms, crest, and motto of the Right lion. Ba ronet, and underneath the following inscrip' ion :—" wta::s of the. Trent Valley Railway, from Statibrd to Rty,by, were commenced on the 13th day of November, 1815, on which occasion the first sod was turned by the Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel, Part., upon lands in the parish of Tam. worth and county of Stafil,rd." And upon the reverse the official seal of the Trent Valley Railway Company, to gether with the names of the Chairman, Edmund Peel, Esq., the directors, engineers, solicitor, secretary, &c. The shaft, or "tree," is formed of a piece of old English oak, the upper part divided into two branches, forming the handle, which is appropriately carved with oak leaves, acorns, &e., and highly polished. The wheelbarrow was of the finest Spanish ma- Ir.gany richly carved and ornamented with th e arms o f th e Right non. Baronet. Sir Robert, on leaving the ground, carried off the spade, exhibiting it from his carriage to the spectators who crowded around. The &actors give a dinner this evening to the various employees of the company, at the King's Arms tavern, at which Mr. J. Stephenson, one of the contractors, has under taken to preside. The whole of the arrangements of the day have been very admirably carried out, under the direction of Mr. J. Jones, who superintends the construction of the line, under the contractors. The dinner party at the manor this evening, included the Right Hon. the Earl of Talbot, the lion. Colonel Anson, M.P., the lion. Captain Carnegie, M.P., Mr. T. L. Ricardo, M.P., Captain A'Court, M.P., Mr. G. Hudson, M.P., Mr. Houldsworth, chairman of the board of directors of the Manchester and Leeds Railway; Mr. W. Yates Peel, the Mayor of Manchester; Mr. T. Hilton, of Manchester; Captain Cleather, Mr. Richard Creed, and the following members of the board of the Trent Valley Railway Com pany :—Mr. E. Peel, chairman; Mr. E. Tootal, deputy chairman ; Mr. T. Smith, of London ; Mr. T. Booth, of Liver pool ; Mr. J. Hornby, Mr. J. P. Westhead, Mr. Redder, and Mr. T. L.

Wheeler, the solicitor, and Mr. Watkin, the secretary to the company, and Mr. Brassey, contractor to the line. The same party, with one or two exceptions, were enter tained last evening by Mr. Edmund Peel, at Bonehill-house. Among the toasts proposed during the evening was the health of Mr. Hudson, by Sir Robert Peel. The Right Hon. Baronet complimented the Hon. Member in very flattering terms upon his successful career, so much so that we are in formed Mr. Hudson was completely overpowered when be rose to return thanks.

We are delighted that this Indian noble has confided the execution of the work to a fellow-towns man, for, we are proud to say, that Mr. Edward D. Leahy is a Cork man, and takes his position with Maclise, Fisher, and Hogan, in maintaining the high reputation of this city for native talent and genius. We hope he will remain suffi ciently long amongst us to enable his fellow-citizens to take advantage of this, his first visit for many years to his native city : " My dear Father Mathew,—The bearer of this, Mr.Leahy, is commissioned by me to undertake the painting of your portrait, which you have been so kind as to promise to sit for. Mr. Leahy is, I believe, already:known to you, and I feel as sured that he will, under the circumstances, fulfil his pleasing task in a manner that will do justice to his subject. I have alreadv endeavoured to express the high honour and gratification • I felt at snaking your personal acquaintance, and I am now doubly anxious that my countrymen should behold adorning the walls of my house, the portrait of the man who kas re deemed his con - try from the national stigma under which it was held so long. "Believe me, my dear Father Mathew, with sentiments of the highest esteem, to remain ever your attached friend, DWARKANAUTII TAGORE. " St. George llotel , Nov. 1, 1845." DEATH OF LADY MARY COOTE.--We have to re cord the demise of Lady Mary Coote, who expired in the early part of the Week, at her residence in Chapel-street, Grosvenor , tquare.

[ADVtRTISEMENT.]—The Atrapilatory, or Liquid Flair Dye, the only dye that really answers for all colours, and does not require re-doing, but as the hair grows, as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dies. Ross and Sons can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their esta bli,hment ; and ladies and gentlemen requiring it are re quested to bring a friend or servant with them to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards without the chance of failure. Several private apartments devoted en tirely to the above purpose, and some of their establishment having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen . Th ey think it necessary to add , that b y a tten ding strictly to the in structions given with each bottle of dye,numernus persons hue sneceeded equally well without coming to them. Address Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfumers, Hair-cutters, and Hair•dyers. N.B.
