If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist er druggist, or perfumer, an Ifs. bottle of Gemstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Ilighgate), 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 Gemstone, Merchant, flerbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under 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, en receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The lie, size contains four of the 40. , A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if yen 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) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff I and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, 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 oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter ef p rotection, signed by Herries, F.sq., te Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account ef its curative qualities, being sold at that time ix c order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

GLASGOW, MAY B.—As yet the weather is cold for the season, and trosty at night. Coastwise and from abroad the arrivals have been light, and with the excep tion of moderate quantities of flour, the supplies from Ireland continue of the least importance. At Grange- mouth about 4,274 quarters of ;wheat, 70 quarters of barley, and 240 quarters of peas reached from the con tinent. A good business has bean done during the week on speculation, as well as for consumption, at an advance of 6d to is per boll on wheat, and 6d to Is per sack on flour. Other articles participated in the improvement. This day's market was well attended by town and country . buyers. Wheat and flour realised the above enhance ment, but the business done was not extensive. Barley was the turn dearer: Oats have to be written 6d per boll. and oatmeal is per load higher. Beans maitained last week's improvement, and peas were a better sale. Indian corn and rye unaltered. BIRMINGHAM, MAY 9.—At Gloucester and Worcester markets, on the 4th, wheat was is to 2s per quarter dearer. Little barley offering, but no advance could be obtained. Oats were unaltered in value. Beans and peas 6il to is per quarter higher. This week there is again very little English wheat offering; the sales made are at a further improvement of is to 2s per quarter; our buyers, however, generally hold off. Few transac tions reported in barley. Some oats have changed hands at former prices. Beans and peas rather looking up, fine new English beans having realised 1 Is, and French 104 63 per 1961 b. At this day's market the farmers' sup ply of wheat being limited, 'English wheat realised an advance of 2s. per quarter, whilst foreign was ls. to 2e. higher. Barley firm, but no dearer. Very little passing in oats. On English beans a rise of Is. per quarter was established, with an improved demand for French and Egyptian. Peas held for a similar improvement. BRISTOL, MAY 9.—The supply of English wheat was small, at an advance of 2s per quarter, and sold readily. In foreign wheat there was a free sale, and on fine Polish and French an advance of from is to is 6d per quarter took place.

CHESTER, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—We may safely affirm that the assemblage on the Course this afternoon was the largest ever seen on any similar occasion at Chester. Notwithstanding the rain fell without ceasing from the commencement of the races yesterday until the middle of the night, and that the gloomy and threatening appearance of the morning warranted any thing but pleasant anticipations, crowds flocked in from the surrounding country, while train seer train, arriv ing from all parts of the kingdom, kept up a continuous living stream from the station from teo e'clock until long aster the commencement of the races. When we state that besides the special and ordinary, there were thirteen or fourteen cheap-trip trains, some idea of the crowded and almost impassable state of the streets may be tormed—that this enormous traffic should have been managed without accident or confusion, is highly credit able to Mr. Jones, the station-master. and Mr. Critchley, the superintendent. The appearance of the Roodee was ex traordinary; the stands were crammed to suffocation, and would have been so had their size been trebled; the city walls, the slopes, in fact, every spot feem which a glimpse of the running could b. obtained, was coverel: the scene altogether beggars description. The weather, contrary to the forebodings of the weather-wise, turned out highly favourable, and the day altogether passed off with unequivocal success. We subjoin the results of the events decided after our parcel was dispatched, with a few additional particulars of the Cup race:— THE CIIP.—FURTHER PARTICULARS.—Betting at s y gt ee rml 9 —sa n2g t 1 .5 s t t l l:6l a i Ite g or s da t esOta-14 esel agst 1 a net Mounseer-20 t - 01r uae Osterley-10 t t e3 o Gr3— l iat2 a ou : lc la s t —o starting-5 to 1 agst Roland-6 to 1 agst Peep•o'-day Cosset-25 Miss s a t o A 1 n agstn— agsta agar c J k o e h r n . mouth—and 50 to 1 agat any other.

After some delay, occasioned by Oster ley's restiveness, a fair start was accomplished, Grief, General Sale, and the-Wbim colt taking the lead, and running almost abreast up to the workhouse, where Osterley shot past them and took up the running at a great pace, followed by Miss Ann at an intervel of two or three lengths, in her wake lying R idney, Emma, Mounseer, Peep-o'-day Boy, and several others. St. George took the third place at the bridge turn, but no thing approached the two leading horses until they got to the back of the course the second time; here Miss Ann joined Osterley, and they ran together, with Mounseer, Peep-o'. day Boy, and Cockermouth in wait ing, to the bottom of the course. Osterley was beaten at this point, and Miss Ann went on with the running, but was caught at the last turn by M .unseer, Cocker mouth, and Woolwich, and beaten. The trio had the rest of the race to themselves, Mounseer winning by a short halt'-length, and Cockermouth heating Woolwice, for the second money, by a neck; Peep• o' day fourth, and Chantrey fifth.

MARYLEBONE THEATRE. NATIONAL PROVINCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND. The annual general meeting of the directors and shareholders of this company was held yesterday, at the offices of the Bank, 112, Bishopsgate• street ; Mr. John Laurie in the chair. The ChAIRMAN said this wag the third time that he had had the honour of presiding at their annual meet ings, and he was glad to have it in his,power to state that during the period of his connexion with the estab lishment it had been on the whole prosperous and sue ceaalul. It had been in existence fur well nigh twenty years, and nearly, if not indeed all of the objections which at first had been urged against it, had now disap peared. One of these objections was, the difficulty that the head office would experience in controlling the dis taut branches ; but if ever this was a difficulty the ad vantages of speedy communication now enjoyed by means of steam and the electric telegraph, placed th►ir most distant branch banks at a distance scarcely greater than the suburbs of the Ci'y. Ttie boald en joyed increasing• powers of supervision, and the objec tion of distance wqich the detractors of the establish ment might wish to use to their prejudice, was greatly diminished. 111 was happy to bear his testi mony to the complete spirit of impartiality which had characterised the directors in the administration of their affairs, instancing himself as perhaps the only one of their number who-.had personal acquaintance with the affairs of their customers, a circumstance which arose solely from his having disposed of a private bank to the company. Passing a high en comium on the indefatigable exertions of their ma nager, Mr. Robinson, the honourable gentleman con cluded by calling the attention of the meeting to the director's report, which was about to be rut The report commented briefly upon the condition, in 1849, of different interests upon which banking results mainly depend. The increase in almost every article of export trade, it stated, made the last year one of prosperity in the manufacturing localities ; but the exhausting effect upon the financial resources of the country produced by the undue direction of capital to railway undertakings, still, to a large ex tent, unproductive—the unsettled state of the politi cal horiz in—the uncertainty attending the operation of the new commercial laws—the depression in agri cultural affairs, have all, in the opinion of the direc tors, tended, more or less, to repress the energies t f internal trade, and to discourage local enterprise. Another distinguishing feature of the year was a con tinuous and unprecedented influx of bullion, the effect of which, operating concurrently with the inactive condition of domestic trade, had led to an accumula tion of unemployed capital, and to its usual concomi taut, a low value of money. But, although contend ing with the disadvantage of a reduced rate of in terest, and with other circumstances unfavourable to the success of their labours the directors were happy to state that the general result for 1849 showed an improvement as compared with that of the previous year; and they had the satisfaction of adding that ' they had never possessed a greater amount of public confidence, or better prospects of lasting prosperity. The yearly summary was as follows :- 1849, Jan. 1. Amount of undivided profits Dec. 31. Net profits of 1849, after the customary deductions £121,222 G 0 Deduct dividend on company's stock for 1849 t-1:4c11(1. Mr. G. V. Brooke appeared as Sir Giles Overreach, in Massinger's play, A New Way to Pay Old Debts, at this theatre, on Wednesday evening. The wily, avaricious, and overbearing Sir Giles, as rendered by Mr. Brooke, evinces a force and strength which in.-- vest the character with great interest. The pert was given with finish and effect, evidence of the study which the actor had bestowed upon it. All the poilita were well conceived, and equally well rendered. They elicited frequent bursts of applause. The play was, in other respects, well cast. Tile house was vary Hell attended. 24,649 16 0 Leaving undivided profits at Dec 31, 1849 £96,572 10 0 The CHAIRMAN begged .to move the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr. BROWN, who regarded with the greatest satis faction the position of the company, and attributed its flourishing condition to the prudence and attention of the directors. He suggested to the board, that in, consideration that theirs was a joint-stock bank, and every shareholder answerable for the liabilities of the company, it was not necessary to maintain such a large reserve fund, or rest, as the Bank of England or other establishments similarly constituted, which, in the event of a crushing loss, would have to throw themselves upon the Qovernment securities. A re serve fund of about 100,0001. would, in his opinion, be sufficient for all practical purposes, and when this was formed he would suggest that the surplus should be given to the proprietors either in an increased divi dend or as a bonus. This suggestion called forth observations from Mr. A. J. Valpy, Mr. William Bells, Rev. J. Grey, Capt. Warren, and others, none of whom seemed to regard the proposal with particular favour ; the more so, as it was stated that among the country depositors the reserve fund was looked upon as forming the best se curity for their money. Mr. Brown did not, there fore, press the matter, resting satisfied with the as surance of the Chairman, that his suggestion would receive all due consideration from the directors. The report was then unanimously adopted. The directors going out of office by rotation were— Sir John Campbell, Mr. John Kingston, and the chairman (Mr. John Laurie), all of whom, on the motion of Mr. Edward Stewart, seconded by Captain Warren, were unanimously re-elected. The vacancy occurring in the direction by the death of Mr. Horace Twigs, was supplied by the election of Lord Ernest Bruce, M.P., whose nomination was moved by the Chairman, and seconded by Mr. W. J. Maxwell. Votes of thanks were then passed successively to the manager (Mr. David Robinson) and the board of management, to the directors, and to Mr. Laurie for his conduct in the chair, after which the meeting dis persed. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL. Yesterday afternoon the annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this establishment was held at Willis's Rooms, King•street, St. James's. Sir George Seymour took the chair, and there were also present Sir C. Malcolm, Sir C. Ogle, Sir J. Liddell, Sir IV. 0. Pell, Captains Sharp, Allen, Gladstone, Drew, Buller, Collier, Stewart, Adam, and other officers of the Royal Navy. The Chairman having briefly addressed the meeting, and congratulated the gentlemen present upon the generally favourable na ture of the report to be submitted to their consider ation, sincerely regretted that through the indispo sition of Admiral Bowles they were deprived of his able presidency. The minutes of the previous meeting having then been read and confirmed, the secretary read the report. It stated that since last year the annual charge for board and tuition had been raised from 251. to 311. per annum, and many new pupils had been entered upon payment of the in creased rates, but the council were of opinion that it was desirable that the school should be opened to other classes than the sons of naval and marine officers. The average number of pupils last year was 161, of whom 24 were admitted gratuitously ; while in the previous year there were 174, of whom 28 were on the reduced list ; showing a dimi nution this year o f of pupils upon the paying list. The limitedmeeanns oyal the great majority of half-pay officers of th Navy preclude their availi n g them s elves of the ad tv e a r n t n t a s g t e h s a o n f t t h h e i s councili n sti tu t o h n a , v e e x b c e a b p n t upon able m tl u c h e o s r w g 7 while the diminishing numerical strength of , the ser vice was not like l y to b ho le ol. to c T o h n e tri p b r u e t s e en m t uehto : s a c the paying pupils of th b build ing could easily be made to accommodate 400 pu p ils, and the naval profession not affording means for this increase of numbers, it was proposed to admit a cer tain number of civilians at an advanced charge, at the same time insuring all the original benefits of the in stitution to the sons of officers Of the Royal Navy. If th i s su ggestion of the council was approved by the meeting, it would be necessary for the meting to e mpower the council to obtain an Act of Parlia ment to carry out the plan. The financial state of the schools had improved since last meeting, the disbursements having diminished, while the receipts have increased. The council had thus been enabled to purchase 3001. stock, still leaving a ba lance at the end of the year of 2861. 55. 9d. The legacies of the late Alderman Lucas of 2001. and Captain Simson of 501. have also been funded, and a munificent donation from the trustees under the will of the late Dr. Bell of 4,0431. 2s. 61 has been pre sented to the school. It was also determined by the council to erect during the ensuing vacation a more suitable school-room than the one now used as such, the coat of which would amount to about 2,000/. The uniform good health of the pupils continued during the past year, not a single case of cholera even n its most modified form having appeared in the school, although the epidemic prevailed in the imme diatee vicinity. The council deeply lamented thedtnof her late Majesty the Queen Dowager, inter est in the establishrnentwas evinced shortlwayhboesfeAorte the e r demise by a donation of 50/. to its flai l : 0 . has suggestion of Sir James Duke, (who, in the pre sented a silver medal annually foV.P.m( school), a memorial was placed bef.ophe Corpora s - f t iaonnd funds.

The novelty for the current wtt k at this theatre is an original drama in two acts, entitled The Pirate of Scio, which was producAl for the first time on Mon day. It is f anded on events that occurred during the revolt of the Greeks at Scio, ard their subsequent mir.sscre by the Turks. The plot is as follows : Antonio Mavricordoti (Mr. J. T. Johnson), while a child, witnesses the murder of hi , father, and after wards the suicide of his mother, which has such an effnt upon him Iv: to render him dumb, though he retains un impaired his other senses. Ar;ivrd at maturity he be comes the captain of screw of pirate' and makes his po sition subservient t) the execution of a vow of venge ance on the murf?erer of his parent. He arrmee in England, and discovers that Mr. Harcourt (Mr. :e ville),3 who was formerly English consul et Slims and who is residing at the time of the opening of thsr piece in Hampshire, is the party by whose hand his sire was murdered. It appears also thit, he (the pirate) is attached to the daughter of Harcourt, which, however, has not the effect of diminishing his animosity to her sire. He decoys the father and daughter on board his vessel, recovers his epee* and having revealed his knowledge of the former being the murderer of his parent, is shout to exercise a summary vengeance, when the ship is attacked by a revenue cruizer, commanded by the lover of Emily (Harcourt's daughter) Mrs. G. Lee. The father and daughter are rescued, the pirate is slainosnd theluvers are united. The piece was well received. CITY OF LONDON THEATRE. A grand spectacle, entitled The Bed Battle-field, which was produced at this theatre on Monday even ing, was repeated on Wednesday night. The scene is laid in the ancient village of Finsburie," and in the time of the Crusades. The story turns upon the loves of the Knight of the Snow-white Plume (Mr. Henry Howard) and Mabel, "the fayre ladya of Finaburie" (Miss Ada Dvas) and embrac e s the usual round of incidents and exciting adventure which are considered essential to give eff.ct to such perform ances. There are processions of knights, and some pretty scenery, and in the comic department, Mr. W. Searle, Mr. John Gardner, and Mr Coreno, afforded abundance of amusement. The piece was quite suc cessful, and was loudly applauded. The spectacle was followed by the revival of the drama, entitled Leola, the Corsican Maid. Other entertainments fel-. lowed, and the evening's performances seemed to afford much gratification to the audience. The house was crowded. DON CIEBRAS' CONCERT. On Wednesday Don S. and Don R. Ciebra gave their morning concert at the Queen's Concert Rooms, fianoer-square. The list of artists engaged on the occasion comprised, in addition to the talented entre peneurs themselves, many names well known in the musical world. The programme put forth was of a very recherché and attractive description, being se lected generally from the principal composers of the modern school. The principal vocal pieces were the duet between Dulcamara and Mine (L'Elisir d'Amore), by Madile. Cotti and Signor fat,slia fico; Nel dolce Incanto," Madame Letnaire ; " Stance di piu," Madame Lozano; "Lo Ye dremo" (Erruzni), Mr. F. Bodder ; " Exindi Deus" (Barnett), Miss A. Taylor; the barca role, from Masaniello, Signor Tagliafico ; and a Spanish song by Madame de Lozano. The Senors de Ciebra executed a number of pieces on the guitar, in which they displayed their well-known taste and skilfulness of manipulation in a manner that elicited the warmest applause. Don M. Echeverria played a solo on the bandurris, a modification of the Spanish guitar, peculiar, we believe to the kingdom of Aragon, the strings being struck by a reed and not pinched with the fingers as in the usual instrument. The Don showed it to be capable of great sweetness and expres sion in the hands of a skilful player, although we doubt whether if struck by an ordinary executant it would rival tho guitar. Mr. Clinton and Mr. Wil liams were very successful in a duet for flute and clarinet. We must not forget to mention that Miss Forster took part with Don R. de Ciebra in a duet in a theme from Semiramide, which was deservedly encored. The room was filled by a most fashionable auditory. POLYTECHNIC INSTITU TION. The second lecture of Dr. Bachhoffner proves no lessinteresting than the first of his series, on the Philosophy of Scientific Recreation. The Doctor in this explains the principles governing the effects commonly known as Light, Shadow, and Colour. Although at first a subject seemingly so devoid of popular interest, under such skilful management it b, came an all absorbent theme. The most pro minent features connected with the philosophy of sight were briefly entered into by the Doctor, one and all tending, in their minute perfection, to evi dence the wisdom and skill of an all-wise Creator. Had one little muscle been forgotten in the construe tionof the eye, we should have been under the necessity o f using one hand to adapt the eye to observe any ob ject presented in the other. The involuntary motion, or winking, of the eye could have 'as little been dis pensed with, serving, by its peculiar motion, to clear and preserve the eye from all adventitious matters. The movement of the upper lid of the eye is, as explained by Dr. Bachhoffner when carried on involuntarily, so extremely rapid as to preserve the image of the object without cessation upon the mind ; but however quickly this winking be performed designedly, we cannot prevent the momentary loss of the image during such process. This the Doctor made the basis of a number of expla nator y and highly curious experiments. The next point touched upon was the operation of seeing, not performed, as we may imagine, by the eyes , but b y the mind. Dr. Bachhoffner told us we do not see by our eyes any more appear) than a " Camera Obscure," capable of producing the Much more image of an object presented (upon the ground glass of that machine), can see the image so pro duced. ~ The eye performs the part of . such . " camera, . producing the image, while the brain is the organ of sight ; and it toseeunintelligible eninoticed. with oured . t e t y m es a7 is the brain which sees.

We took an early opportunity of visiting this very curious and interesting collection, and were forcibly struck with the beauty of the natural objects shown, the singularity of those rude specimens of art in its infancy exhibited, and, above all, with the taste dis played in the arrangemt-nt of the whole. To the lovers of natural history this exhibition recommends itself by the number, importance, and high state of perfection of the objects introduced to our notice. To travellers, or at least to those who like to read of travels, it presents an opportunity seldom a fforded iu books, by preenting undeniable evidence of thioß and acts which in type alone might be deemedete credible ; indeed, before we had seen and iisiesge of the whole, we became so impressed with satheir the reality of csrtain terrific scenes, s r of the wor► d dan ger, that we occasionally fancied we were mentally, of course, to those very . 1! p ei r n- owner of this which the courageous and entehrp.rdi 8 I at the idea of the collection has visited, and trembled h b a y ve b e i n u; perils he must have faced—of the difficulties etineutrai i h BP e ° t rt n 't u 'ld st ' en have travels,now exhibited, e ed o . ve T rc h o e m v e e — ry o m f e t a h n e st h eo a f r h d i s s interest.

If we may judge of the future popularity of this exhibition by the growing interest we took in it as we proceeded to view its in structive details, we can only say that we hope, vvhen next we visit it again, to find it what it, deserves to be, a favourite with all who seek rational and usei'ill be amusement.
