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 or druggist, or perfumer, an Its. bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn fram aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is lnghly 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, Herbary, 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, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7.,;. Bd., or lus., which in cludes the postage with the case. The l Is. size contains four of the 4s. 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 yeti 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! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cater •et, Nervous 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 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 of protection, signed by Berries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grimsteno, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of 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.

March, Earl of Grogan, Edward THE PORT or RutcCoßN.—The Lords Commis. sionera of her Majesty's Treasury having been pleased, by their order of the 28th ult., to direct that Runcorn, which hrs been constituted an independent port, as an experimental measure for three years, by their Lord ships' order of the 21st December, 1846, is to bo p'aced on its former footing as a creek within the port of Liver pool—the Board of Customs have directed that the mea sure is to take effect from and efter the s th day of April proximo. So many years have elapsed since the production of Mr. Douglas Jerrold's drama The Mother at the Haymarket, that its revival at this theatre last evening under the title of The Mother's Dream, or a Gyp sy's Prophecy, may well be considered as the production of a new piece ; and we may observe en passant that as The Mother's Dream has now taken its place among the most popular pieces of the Adelphi repertoire—la its success of last evening Ives such as at once to assure for it that position —it would be well that the A'lelphi dramatists should endeavour to follow the example of Mr. Douglas Jerrold in the construction of their pieces, arid instead of weakening the interest by taking three acts, and four hours to dt vel )pe a perhaps s what meagre plot, should condense their dramas, so as never to let them act more than three hours. The Mother's Dream is in two acts, and to artistically is it constructed that the in terest never flags, but goes on increaSing in intensity up to the climax, at which point the piece concludes. 'Fne plot is very simple. Captain Davenant (Mr. Boyce) has married a French girl, Eulalie (Madame Celeite) whom he leaves enciente, as be is about to sail on an expedition. A false rumour is spread that Davenant is killed, and Eulalie on hearing it goes mad, and while in that condition her child is born. Some gipsies who have a feud against Davenant's father, steal this child, and Eulalie, on recovering her senses, is told by her attend ants that the child is dead. Davenant returns ; and on the day of his return, a gipsey child offers him and Eulalie some flowers. Struck with the beauty of the child, Davenant takes it into his house, and a gipsey then approaches Eulalie and insinuates to her that the child is the child of Davenant, who had seduced its gipsey mother. The jealousy of Eulalie brings on a paroxysm of madness, which ends in somnambulism. In this state she has a dream of her lost child, and wanders, still dreaming to the gipsey encampment, where she hears from the lips of a dying gipsey chief (Mr. H. Hughes) that the child which had so attracted her husband's attention is her own child, which had been stolen. The acting of Madame Celeste as Eulalie was one of the most, affecting pieces of quiet pathos that even she has ever exhibited—every look, every gesture was full of meaning. The dying gipsey of H. Hughes was also a fine piece of acting, full of feeling and of power. 0. Smith was the villain of the piece, and was as usual the Prince of Villains; and Wright as a cowardly gipsey who gets wounded in his favourite leg, the leg he was proud of, who is always smelling hemp, and has his own ideas as to his possession of personal courage, was irresistibly ludicrous. The " great Paul" too was in the cast, not as usual in juxtaposition with Wright, but in the character of " Compass," a retired Jack Tar, of whom he made a sort of gigantic T. P. Cooke, without a horn pipe. The ntise en scene was perfect, and the piece was announced for repetition amidst those shouts of applause which always attend a regular Adelphi success. Madame Celeste was called on at the conclusion. The theatre was crowded to suffoca tion in every part. COURT CIRCULAR.

OPENING FOR TRAFFIC OF THE BRITANNIA- BRIDGE. On Friday and Saturday Captain Simmons, the Government Inspector for the Railway Commia sicners, made his official inspection of this great structure, accompanied by Mr. Edwin Clark, the resident engineer, and Mr. Hedworth Lee, the engi neering manager of the Chester and Holyhead line, when a series of experiments took place to ascertain the law of deflection and the absolute structural strength of the fabric. The experiments consisted in observing the deflections under a series of successive loads; the passing of three locomotives with a train sufficient to cover each of the tubes through the bridge at various speed., and the running of locomo tives and tenders, without trains, through at variable rates of progress. The first experimental train was a heavily laden one of coal-waggons weighing 240 tons, with three locomotive engines. This wa; run through the tube at the rate of from 10 to 12 miles an hour, and the deflection, as taken by a de flectometer fixed in the centre tower, was scarcely perceptible.. This train was then drawn completely over one of the tubes, and there left as a dead weight, while Captain Simmons descended, and made a minute inspection of the masonry, the rivetting, plate-work, cellular top and bottom of the tubes, rivetting, and other arrangements, which occupied a considerable time. Oa returning to the tube the deflection caused by the load was found to be about three-fourths of an inch. Similar experiments made in the other tubes exemplified the perfect success that has attended the connexion of the four tubes to gether so as to form one continuous beam. As the engines entered upon the small land tube the motion due to their progressive weight was ascertainable in every tube, even over to the further extremity of 1,560 feet in length. Locomotives were then paged through as fast as practicable, but only at twenty miles an hour, owing to the curves at either end. The deflection was the fraction of an inch, and the vibration scarcely perceptible. The experiments were considered to be very satisfactory. Yesterday the up express from Holyhead, carrying the mails and passengers from Ireland, and which ar rived at Euston-square exactly at eleven o'clock, came " by" the tube at a saving of a full hour over the usual transit. The subsequent trains, to and:fro, also went through both ways. All the arrangements for this work are now permanently complete, and the floating of the twin tubes for the parallel line is oc cupying the attention of the engineers. The directors of the Chester and Holyhead Com pany are now in communication Sir George Grey, to ascertain whether her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert will permit the Prince of Wales, on an early day in April, to be present at a festival in celebration of the successful opening of the great structure. The communication has been gra ciously received, and there is every expectation of its being accepted. RAILWAY BlLLs.—Yesterday the preambles of the following bills were declared proved :—Exeter and Credition Railway, for raising further capital and en largement of Cowley- bridge Station ; South- Eastern Railway, for power to discontinue payment of interest on calls ; Londonderry and Coleraine, and London derry and Enniskillen ; Dublin and Belfaa Junction Rail way. THE ROYAL ARTILLERY. WOOLWICH, MARCH 18.—The whole of the Royal Artillery in the garrison, amounting to upwards of 2,000 men, including recruits, assembled at 9 30 A M. to-day on the guard mounting parade in front of the south arch of the barracks, the Royal Horse Artillery and the field batteries dismounted, and the battalion in light marching order. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 8., K.CH., Commandant of the garrison, accompanied by Brigade-Major Bingham and Captain Tylden, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster General, arrived on the parade ground at quarter past 10 o'clock, and the troops having been formed into a square, the non-cotnmissioned officers and men of the Royal Regiment of Artillery who had been r e . commended for medals and gratuities, agreeably to , the Ordnance regulations founded on her Majesty's warrant, dated May 14, 1847, and approved by the Master-General, were marched into the square, to the number of SI non-commissioned officers and gunners and drivers, the other 15 to whom medals and gratuities have been awarded being absent at foreign and other stations. The gallant Commandant in an appropriate address expressed the high gratification he always had in having an opportunity of rewarding old and meritorious soldiers for good and faithful ser vices, and called upon the 13riga&-Major to hand him the medals that he might present them individually to each of the worthy recipients. The Commandant then presented their medals to each non-corninissicned officer and gunner and driver, whose names were engraved on the rim, and explained that they will receive the gratuity on discharge agreeably to the regulation , . The following is a list of the non commissioned officers and men who have been granted medals on this occasion : Staff-Sergeant William Weir, Royal Horse Artillery Sergeant-Major Jame: Chaddick, Cadet Company. Sergeant• Major William Campbell, Ist battilior. Sergeant• Major John Gibertson, 6th battalion. Sergeant-Major Cornelius Spotle, 7th battalion. Sergeant-Major Robert W. Scott, 10th battalion.

Gunner and driver Benjamin Hargraves, 10th battalion. Gunner and driver George Fraser, 12th battalion. After the presentation of the medals the troops marched to the west end of the parade, where they opened out from the front to wheeling distance, and marched past the Commandant at slow time. They were then formed into close columns at the east end of the parade, and extended their front by the coun• termarching of companies by ranks, opening out from the front again, and marching past at quick time, and were then dismissed to barracks. Colonel Cruttenden, inspector of drills, and the field officers and adjutants of the Royal Horse Artillery, field batteries, and battalions were present. The Commandant then visited the cottages, and returned to be present at the guard mounting, which took place at 11 30 A.m., in stead of 10 30, the usual hour. HOTEL AND TAVERN KEEPERS BENEVOLENT IN STITITTION.—Yestorday afternoon the 11th annual ge neral meeting of the members and subscribers of this charity was held at the Craven Hotel, Craven -street, Strand ; Mr. S. Lovegrove in the chair. The usual form of r , ading and confirming the minutes of the pre vious meeting having been gone through, the secretary read the annual report, which expressed deep regret at announcing a cousiderable diminution in the amount cf subscriptions and donations. This was attributed to the society's not having celebrated last year, owing to the lateness ef the tit a.on and the prevalence of cholera, their nova anniversary festival. The claims upon VI( m for relief had also exceeded what the committee had couternplated as probable, in consequence of the deaths of a number of members, leaving their widows unpeo vided for, and having in most cases children dependent upon them for support. They also regretted to state that, where relief had been given for some years past, the committee had been reluctantly compelled to reduce the amount of Insistence so afforded in consequence of the fallieg off of their income. The total income for 1849, including a balance in hand f 721. 44. 3d., only amounts i to 4171. 16s. 3d. ; while tie expenditure, in cluding 272/. 12s. 60., paid in various sums to 28 aged and necessitous members, was 4101. 135., leaving a balance in favour of the society of 71. 3s. Among the donors was the late Mr. J. Peacock, of the London Tavern, who has bequeathed 100/. to the funds of the charity. The report was received and adopted, and the usual elections of officers for the ensuing year having taken place the meeting separated after a vote of thanks to the chairman. The Right Hon. the Earl of Yarbo rough will preside at the next anniversary dinner. P. A. TAYLOR, Esia —Died, on the 14th instant, at Clifton, near Bristol, where he had gone for health, P. A. Taylor, Esquire, of Croydon, Surrey, in his 60th year. lie was known and highly respected in the city of London, and was a warm and able supporter of liberal principles. He will long be remembered as the intrepid and enlightened, but temperate chairman of the cele brated " Anti Corn-law Parliament," which met daily at the King's Arms Tavern, Palace-yard, " while the other house was sitting on the other bide of the way." Al though the Government was called on, in and out of Parliament, to put down the assembly by the strong arm of the law, be never shrunk from his post, nor compro mised the sentiments against the corn-laws openly and manfully avowed by him from the first. It is needless to add that the Government, however willing to wound— and it is tolerably well known they were willing enough —they dared not to strike —Advertiser. INCENDIARY FIRE.—On Sunday night, shortly before eight o'clock, a destructive fire, which there seems little doubt was the act of an incendiary-, was discovered on Baynton-hill I'4.m, near Hungerford, Berkshire, in the occupation of Mr. James Grant. Within the short space of two hours after the outbreak the entire build ings (consisting of a stable, two barns, and outhouses, with their contents), three extensive wheat ricks, and one straw rick, about 30 quarters of barley in one barn, a quantity of unthrashed wheat in soother, a dressing machine, and various barn and husbandry implements, were destroyed. There being no dwelling-house at tached to the buildings there was no one to give alarm. So rapid was the progress of the fire that although several hundreds of people were quickly on the spot the flsmes gained such an ascendancy —the buildings being old and the materials very dry—that not the least portion, either of the pre mises or the other property, could be preserved. Fortu nately no cattle were on the farm at the time, all the live stock having been removed to another farm about a week previously. The reflection of the fire was seen for many miles around, and, altoge , her, nearly 1,000 persons were attracted to the spot. From the situation of the ricks they must have been fired in two or three places; and this, coupled with the fact that a most re spectable farmer in the adjoining village of Tinbead has, within the last week, received an anonymous letter threatening that his premises would be burnt, strengthens the belief that an incendiary hand has been the cause of the devastation. Lord Methuen having observed the conflagration immediately posted off to the scene, bringing with him some of his own servants and the two policemen stationed in the parish; and several of the county police were promptly on the spot, endeavouring to trace out the incendiary. The extent of the loss is very heavy; but that part affecting the tenant, Mr. Grant, is covered by an insurance in the Royal Farmers and General Fire-office. GROCERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—The thirteenth annual meeting of the Grocers and Tea Dealers' Bene volent Protection Society took place yesterday evening, in the London Tavern, Bishopsgate•Areet; Mr. Henry K-mble, President of the Society, in the chair. The annual report, presented by the central committee showed the society to be in a highly prosperous and efficient state—the subscriptions for the year exceeding in amount those of any one of the last nine years. The gross receipts of the society were, from annual subscri bers, 837/. 175.; from donors, 43.51. 155.; and from two dividends on stock, 399/. 15e; which, with a balance of 2641. 16s. 7d. from the preceding year, made a total revenue of 1,938/. as. 7d. The large amount of the receipts had enabled the committee, in addition to pay ing the year's prn‘ions, to invest a sum of 600/. in the Three-and-3-Quarter per Cents., making the sum now invested 12,600/., yielding a clear annual dividend ef 409/. 10s., and leaving a balance in the Beek of England of 373/. 4s. 7d. The number of new pen sioners has been increased to five—three only having been admitted tho year previous. It may be mentioned that all the pensioners elected this Scar had firmerly been subscribers to the funds of the society, thr. e of them for eleven years, and the otter two, respectively for four and for three years. The sum distritiut d among these amounts to 1261. The tits,' number of pensioners elected from the commencement is sixty thre.., f whom thirty-seven are still living, and in the rece.pt or pensions. Aire , ng th se is annually divided a sum of 822/. For the fortheeming elections there are at present s.x eligible car.didat-s, all of whom, with one exception, have been old subscribers to the society. Some extracts trom the reports of visits paid by official deputations to the recipients of the charity of the so ciety were then read, and showed the happy benefits re sulting from the distribution of the funds of the society. The report having been unanimously adoptcd, Mr. Kemble, president of the society, was re-elected. Messre. M. foretcr, a 1. )., T. khilpott, and V.

During a gale of wind the vessel became totally untranageabee and notwithstanding all exertions, ultimately drove on the rocks. As she soon began, to break up, the crow succeeded. in launching the j,,n y ..n oat, into which theyall got, b ut ow i ng to the sea that was running at the time, they h a d scarce l y got away from the vessel before the boat capsized.

THB MACKEREL FISHERY.—The ponderous freight dispatched from Plymouth on Friday night, of which we gave some account in our last, did not reach Billings ( gate in time for the Saturday morning's market, and the sale was consequently much prejudiced . A n i nqu i ry we understand has been m a d e into the subject, which is of considerable importance, and may possibly lead to litiga. Lion between the railway company and the owners of the fish—the Hong-kong Company, an association of wealthy adventurers chiefly residing in Plymouth. Upwards of 5001. were that day paid to the three associated com panies for the carriage of fish alone. The catches during the week, although considerable, have not been so largo as those of the preceding one. On Sunday one boat be. longing to Shoreham (White, master), brought in 16,000, and on Tuesday one hailing from Rye cnore than 17,000 fish. These are two of the largest windfalls which have yet befallen the boats tngaged in the mackerel fishery. Yesterday the catches brought In were large—a French lugger having 5,000, and one be. longing to Yarmouth 14,000. Besides the mackerel, a considerable quantity of superior fish —such as soles, turbots," dories," brill, &c.—has been caught. A small portion has keen retailed about the town, but the greater part has been sent on to London, Bath, Birmingham, Brittal, Wolverhampton, Ipswich, and other of the lager tawns. The average quantity daily dispatched by train since our last has been about forty tons. The prices have ranged as follow :—Saturday, from Bs. to 95.; Monday, from Ss. to 125.; Tuesday, from 12s. to 155.; Wednesday, 125.; Thursday, from 10s. to 13s. 6d.; and Friday, from 9s. to 14s.—Plymovth Times.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN AND THN DISPATCH BAL. LooNs.—Yesterday morning Mr. Green had the great satisfaction of receiving the following communication from M. Ceourdeaux, the mayor of St. ,Denis; bearing his official seal:—" The enclosed was picked up a little to the west of St. Denis on the 2d instant, but I am Un able to state at what hour it reached the earth, no one haring seen it fall." FARM HOUSES AND FARM SERVANTS.—The want of proper pie, ping accommodation for tarm servants in some rural districts is continually giving rise to offence. At the petty cessions tor the district of Plympton, St. Mary, held last week, Thomas Andrews, a labourer, un der Mr. Green, the contractor of the Homerton-road, was summonded by Elizabeth Hemphill. to show eanse why be did not support his illegitimate child. The pro secutrix, in June, 1848, was living with Mr. William Andrews, firmer, at Shaw, where the defendant was also employed. She slept over the dairy, and the defendant's room was over the kitchen. She could only get to her room by going through his. This is an arrangement which is stated t ) be very common in farm houses in that part of the country. The bench ordered the de fendant to pay ls. 6d. u week, and 10s. 9d. rests. Mr. Sultan, the presiding magistrate, commented in severe terms upon the want r f proper accommodation fur ser vants, which he said was a disgrace to the farmer.. Cases of the kind which had just been beard were of • frequent occurrence, and he believed they were mainly caused by neglect of necessary precaution , . NEW ZEALAND.—A copy of instructions forwarded last February to Sir G-or g e Grey relative to the dis posal of land. in New Zealand has been published. The purport of these instructions ie to revoke those already existing, by which it Ras prohit:ited to make any, gra tuitous grant of lands in the colony, and to relax this interdiction in favour of naval and military officers, mi litary pensioners, and the aboriginal inhabitants. THE PANOPTICON OF SCIENCE AND ART.—SoMe of our rt aders have asked for information concerning this proposed institution. The principal object the par. ties who originated the Panopticon have in view, is said ta be, to extract intellectual profit from pleasure, by bringing forward on a grand scale, before the public, the principal discoveries in the arts, and showing, prac• orally, the various processes of science now, to the million, a mystery. They wish, too, to make these things serve for other purposes than a mere show. They would have them put forward in a way such as would attract by the pleasure that the mere exhibition would give, apart from the Intellectual good that might result; but so to arrange these exhibitions that instruction might succeed to vague curiosity—that those who come, perhaps, but to while away an hour, might be led to think that the study of nature's wonders might be a wore instructive, as well as better occupation, than the accustomed pursuit of idle pleasures. They prepase, also, to offer to those who wish to make science a recrea tion, but are prevented by the expense, a place where the best instruction and the greatest command of ap paratus can be secured at a moderate price. To carry out these main objects, and many others secondary, to which the prospectus alludes, it will be necessary to have a building, apparatus, &c., on a great scale, and with such means of putting forward the vtri , eis eXper,-' meats and exhibitions es will let the institution vitt its its attractive powers with the great.plsees or amusemest row open—to let the building be of that m'ignitude and grandeur which shall remove all idea of the 'nue-tient and bazaar, whilst every part or its construction and de 7 ;ails shall show the result of some modern invention r improvement. Whether or not this will be done is yet to be seen. Messrs. Finden and 'Lewis are the archi tects employed, and we understand their plans are nearly ready.—Builder.

PAUL'S NEEDS OPENING IN MORE WATS 'r ONE.—The Chapter may get rid of other railing besides that on the outside by abandoning the " twopence," and re-arranging the scale of fees for visiting the tipper parts of this mighty structure. The cathedral It es-,, sentielly a public edifice, and as such should, likethe British Museum, the National Gallery, and the liki ' public exhibitions, be open to the public at large gra twtously.
