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 lie. bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn fram aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her hary, 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, Herlsary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Timas" newspaper, 7th of August, 184 G.

Reader, reflect for n 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 Eye iinuff and because it cured Ophthalmia, flutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Ileadaeli, 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 cues 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 llerries, ' , sq., to Mr. William Griinstone, bearing date Mk February, I 525.

Barley without improvement, either in price or ;demand. Oats move rather slowly at our quota tions. We had very little inquiry for beans or peas. During the present week the transactions in wheat have again been li mited. On what has changed hands, the turn was in favour of the seller, little being offered by the farmers. Barley of all kinds continue difficult to dispose of. Oats in slow request, but maintained their value. Not much inquiry for beans or peas, and both were rather lower. A t this day's market there was a fair supply:of English wheat, and except in few instances, for prime qualities, no advance could be obtained. Barley was held with mere firmness. Oats nominally unaltered. Oilly retail sales reported in either beans or peas. BRISTOL, FEB. 21.—English wheat this week has been in moderate supply, and last week's rates have been fully main tained. Foreign is not cheaper, but the inquiry is still very languid. At this day's market, English new wheat fetched from 36s to 42s per imperial quarter; foreign white, 44s to 48s per 4801 b ; ditto,red, fine qualities, 40s to 43 ; ditto ditto, ordinary ditto, 37s to 40s ; ditto, hard, 35s to 38s. Flour re mains without improvement—English seconds, 27s to 29a per sack ; American, &c., sweet, 23s to 24s per barrel. Fine malting barley is in better request, and rather dearer, but grinding barley, oats, beans, &c., continue very dull, with the turn in favour of buyers; barley (English malting), 24s to 28s per imperial quarter; ditto, and foreign grinding, 19 s to 21s per 4001 b.; oats (Devon and Welsh), 15s to 16s per im perial quarter ; Irish, white, 17s to 185 per 3201 b.; ditto, black, 15s 6d to 16s per imperial quarter ; foreign, none ; beans ( English), 27s to 303 per imperial quarter ; foreign, 23s to 28s per 4801 b.

GLASGOW, FEB. 20.—The foreign arrivals comprised only about 300 quarters of wheat, 149 sacks and 1,764 barrels of flour ; from Ireland the supplies continue unimportant, espe cially of oatmeal, hitherto the staple export, wheaten flour, owing to its comparatively moderate price, supplanting gra dually its place. Coastwise we received fair additions to our stock, including two small cargoes of wheat from Boston and Wisbeach, which quickly realised full terms. No foreign arrivals reached Grangemoutk. There has been rather more animation among buyers, and Wolgast wheat is reported as being sold, " to arrive warranted sound," to a considerable ex tent at 20s to 21s per 2401bs delivered here ex-ship, duty paid. This day's market was moderately well attended. Good sweet wheat and flour sold pretty well in retail at last Wednesday's currency. Barley, oats, and oatmeal were the turn cheaper. Beans have to be written 3d to 6d lower per boll. Peas and Indian corn without alteration.

IN. GLASGOW, FEB. 20. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday, The Minister of the Interior has addressed the fo.l lowing circular, dated the 13th, to the prefects : " Monsieur le Prefet,—The anniversary of the 24th of February is consecrated by law. We cannot better celebrLte it than by calling upon the Church to pray for the citizens who fell in the conflict, and to invoke the blessings of God upon the destinies of France. You will be pleased to concert with the religious and military au thorities fur the commemorative ceremony, which, like that of the last year, will consist of a funeral service, after which a 7'e Drum will be sung. The National Guards and the army will be represented by deputations. Yuu will be present in person, and you will convoke the different public functionaries." M. PERSIL, a former Cabinet Minister under Louis Pnimarr, has announced himself as a can didate for the representation of Paris. General DE LAMORICIERE is suffering from severe illness, caused by the injuries he received from the mob a few days since. The Assembly still continues the discussion of the Education Bill, and the differences between the parti pretre and the Ministry still continue unreconciled. These differences will probably be widened when the discussion on the Bill for erecting a monument to Marshal NEY shall come on, as it is intended by certain members of the Mountain to move that the names of the Peers who condemned him to death shall be inscribed on the monument. Among the names will be found:several of those who are at present leaders of the parti pretre, the miscalled party of "order." The reactionary papers have for some days been revelling in the supposed disclosures made in a book called " Les Conspirateurs," written by a certain M. CUENU, in which various accusations of luxury, gluttony, and debauchery are brought against CAUS SIDIERE. Now whether CAUSSIDIERE were as de bauched as a Bourbon King (Louis XV. fur ex ample), or as pure as an icicle ; whether he drank as hard as WILLIAM PITT, or were as temperate as JOSEPH STURGE, during the period that he was Pre fect of Police, this fact is certain, that from February, 1848, to May, he, without troops, without gendar merie, without any of the usual means at his com mand which were at the command of his predecessors, preserved the peace of Paris, and caused not only life but property to be so respected, that during those months there were fewer robberies, and fewer crimes of any sort committed, than during any other four months of the history or Paris. CAUSSIDIERE has written a letter to the journals , from which we ex tract the following history of M. CRENU, the new ally of the clerical party : " Mr. Editor,—l take pleasure in believing that if you had known the individual who had lent to his name the libel entitled Les Conspirateurs,' you would have refrained from making an analysis of the work. Chenu scarcely knows how to read and write. Ho has been condemned by default to eight years' hard labour at the hulks, for robbery and assassination in his regiment ; he is not the author of his book. He came to s, crete himself in Paris, and on being discovered by the police was sent to the bagne, because M. Pinel employed him as secret agent provocateur, especially in the affair of the fire-balls, in which he caused several persons to be im prisoned and condemned. I was obliged to drive him from the Prefecture—hence his hatred, his menaces, and even his attempts of assassination ana•nst me." CAUSSIDIERE declares that the book has been got up by certain chiefs of the " honest and moderate" party, for the purpose of influencing the elections.

On Tuesday, February 19, (William Cubitt, Esq , President, in the chair), the paper read was as " Description of the Iron Roof over the Railway Station, Lime-street, Liverpool," by Mr. Richard Turner. The area covered was described as being 374 feet in length, and 153 feet 6 inches 'in breadth, which was roofed over in one span. The roof con sisted of a series of segmental girders, or principals, fixed at intervals of 21 feet 6 :inches from centre to centre; these were supported, one one side, upon the walls of the offices, as far as they extended, and on the other upon cast-iron columns. From the end of the offices to the viaduct over Hotham-street, a dis tance of 60 feet 4 inches, the principals were carried upon a " box beam" of wrought iron. The princi pals were trussed vertically, by a series of radiating struts, which were made to act upon them, by strain ing the tie-rods and diagonal braces ; they were trussed laterally by purlins and by diagonal bracing, extending from the bottom of the radiating struts, to the top of the corresponding strut, in the adjoining girder ; these braces were connected with linking plates by a bar Of the same scantling, and also with the purlins already referred to. The girders were thus firmly knitted together, and a rigid framework formed, upon which the covering of galvanized cor rugated iron and glass was laid. The whole construction was minutely described, and the appendix contained an account of the experi ments for testing the strength of the principals. These were made at the works of Messrs. Turner and Son, Dublin, under the direction of Mr. Locke, the engineer of the railway, when some great improve ments in the construction were introduced at his sug gestion. The discussion on this very interesting con struction was announced for the meeting of Tuesday, February 26th, when the paper to be read would be " Observations on the Street Paring of the Metro polis, with an account of a peculiar system a•lopted at the London and North-Western Railway Station, Euston-square," by Mr. William Taylor. ported a petition from some Venetian officers, praying that the Piedmontese Government would offer them the means of earning their bread honourably.

SWITZERLAND. The Federal Council of Switzerland caused it to be notified on the 18th that it had been obliged to send Sergeant BOICUOT, ex-representative of France, twelve leagues into the interior fur having published at Geneva a work which had been seized by the French authorities. The following is the answer of the Federal Council to the Prussian note on the subject of Neufchatel:- 44 TUE FEDERAL COUNCIL OF SWITZERLAND TO THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF PRUSSIA, AT BERLIN. " BERNE, JAN. 25, 1850.—The Federal Council has seen with pleasure, by the note which the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Prussia has addressed to it, dated the 21st of November last, that the Prussian Government is equally animated with the desire of submitting the affair of Neufchatel to an amicable arrangement. The Federal Council has, at the same time, the convictio❑ that there exists on this subject a misunderstanding, which it con siders it its duty to clear up. The Federal Council, in the note of the Bth of November, in speaking of another question, had expressed incidentally an opinion, with respect t i which the answer of the 21st of November said specially that it amounted to an acknowledgment, that an end ought to be put, in accordance with Prussia, to the violation of authority which had lasted since the insurrection at Neufchatel, of the Ist of March, 1848. , This interpretation rests entirely on a misunderstanding, for it never could have entered into the intentions of the Federal Council to express, in a manner entirely inci• dental, an acknowledgment of this kind in a letter which had been addressed to Prussia (in its quality as a state or power), and which had reference solely to the inter national relations with Switzerland (considered as a col lective state), and that a till the less, considt ring that that acknowledgment, in the present situation of the con federation, would place the question of peace in peril to an alarming extent i❑ the canton of Neufchatel. In short, such an ackeowledgment as that would virtually render impossible the object which it was proposed to attain, and which is set forth in the answer of the 21st of November, namely, the taking into consideration the present state of Switzerland altogether, and the necessity of endeavouring to maintain the peace and prosperity of the canton of Neufchatel. " But, besides this, there is nothing in the words con tained in the note of the Bth November which can be at all construed as having this meaning; there is nothing in it that can be considered as showing an intention on the part of the Council to make any such recognition. On the contrary—indeed, the different circumstances to which the attention of the Prussian Government is called are by no means calculated to be so interpreted as to lead to the belief that tho Federal Council had any idea of the event i❑ the re-establishment of the primitive situation, which would, to all appearance, be considered as a satisfactory arrangement. In the present state of things, the Federal Council of Switzerland must limit itselt to calling the attention of the Prussian Govern ment to the errors which that interpretation contains. "In the honoured answer of the 21st of November ' last, it has been thought necessary to designate the affair of the legalisation of the documents as accessary, and it has been treated in that sense. " The Swiss Federal Council, nevertheless, takes the liberty of rectifying that interpretation, seeing that it does not at all consider that affair as secondary. The affair has its own independent signification, and a ge neral political interest, which only attaches itself fuel dentally to the affair of Neufchatel, because the events that have taken place in that canton appear to have been the motive why the usuage which had previously been i n practice with respect to the legalisation of docu• meats, should have been to a certain extent departed from. But abstraction made of this accessory and acci dental connexion, the affair is quit :distinct, and depends on its own particular significative, at the same time that the affair of Neufchatel has regard to the relations of the canton with respect to the royal family, and that there is also a question as to the position of the confederation with relation is the kingdom of Prussia, considered as a state, and as to the principle and usage recognised by other states as to their mutual relations.

The application of these was the sub ject cf the present portion. The preparations for the great Cherbourg digue were noticed ; the proposals of 1712 and 1777 for a line of sunken ships filled with masonry, as at the siege of La Rochelle in 1573, and the first operations by M. de Ces cart in 1782-4 were described. This latter plan was to sink truncated conical caissons, strongly framed of tim ber, 150 feet diameter, and 64 feet high, floated by means of a double tier of immense casks around their bases. The first and second was successfully latmohed; but before the latter could be filled with stones as in. tended, a storm carried it away to low-wets; mark. This led to a great change in the plan; instead of 90 of these cones tangent to each other, they were to be placed at considerable distances apart, the intervals to be filled with pierre perdli; 18 of them were laid, but they were all destroyed but one before 1 789 —some of them in two days after their being placed. The method a pie rre perdd was then resorted to, and continued with until it was modified by an upright parapet from low-water level by M. Dupare, 1832; the work is still in progress. The series of four different slopes, in which the. waves have distributed the stones of the digue was described; and the absence of the lowest slope in the Plymouth section was accounted for by the increased force of the waves upon the latter. ' The commencement in 1611 by Mr. Ronnie, and sub sequent proceedings under its present superintendent, Mr. Stuart, of the Plymouth breakwater, were then al luded.to, and the increased length of foreshore which had been found necessary, from the original design ,and the greater effect of the sea at its west end described. In 1838, from the great effects of a storm, a species of buttress I was designed by Mr. James Walker, C.E., for the protection cf the base of the lighthouse. This in volved anew principle in hydraulic arckitecture,lafter wards alluded to. This structure resembles in some degree the system of dovetailing and grooves adopted by Smeatol it' the Ed dystone; but differs in its application. The Delaware breakwater in the Unitld States was then briefly al luded to. The principle of presenting a concave face to the waves was adverted to. In 1734 such a section was proposed, but not acted on, by M. Touros, for S. Jean do Luz. In 1787-95, Don. Torus" Munos constructed the sea-walls of Cadiz thus: a straight foreshore - of - timber plunking and a curved mason r y t erm i nat i on . T h i s was destroyed by the blocks of stone placed at its foot for protection rolling up the incline against the masonry. M. Easy, who endeavoured to establish the existence of what he denominates the hot-du fond, proposed a cylindridal or other curvilinear face for this purpose in 1818, and in 1820 repaired the works of the fortification of St. Mar tin, Ile de Re, in the Day of Biscay, on this plan, which was so far successful, though not very greatly exposed. Various forms of the concave revetement were noticed, and the natural form assumed by the shingle beach w a s cited as an instance of the effect of beach surf. This form has been adopted in the Dymchurch wall con structed by Mr. Walker. The mode of action of the waves against a cliff was also explained, as producing a similar section. Mr. Scott Russell's deductions from the wave system leading also to similar conclusions, were then alluded to, and the sectional form he has proposed described. lie preferred a parabolodial curve for the foreshore; and an overhanging coping, so as to turn the wave on itself, was describ ed. Mr. Russell, for deep-water sttuctures, preferred the method it picrre perdil forming a straight foreshore. One otjection to this system of concave face was, the varyin g level to which such structures are exposed from tidal influences, and the differences of curve presented at different periods of tide. From these systems, the vertical, or nearly vertical wall, was then described; and the great national work at Dover, the Iltfoge Harbour, was stated to be on the principle established by the experience of the buttress at the west end of Plymouth Breakwater. This mode cf construction, found effective at that place, counteracts some of the difficulty tact with in securing the mascery facing of is. In a previous part of the paper it was stated that the stones were blown out of the facing, or towards the sea-wave. This action is attributed to the percussion force entering the joints, and thus the water or air contained within the body of the masonry being most forcibly driven upv ards and outwards, carried single stones out of their beds. The new mode consists of stepping one course of stones iota the upper surface of that beneath it, so as to form a ledge to prevent its out ward tendency, and also to divert the direct action of the wave on the joint. In addition to this, esch atone is so dove-tailed on its horizontal plane, that each course forms virtually one stone; and alternate stones in each course are locked into the course beneath it ; so that, throughout the fabric, some portion of each course be longs to the one on either side of it, making the whole into one mass. These stones are found at the quarries, and fixed in their places by the diving-bell. The shoe don of Dover Harbour, as being free from the chances of silting up, was considered in reterence to the tides, and the improbability that any great amount .of shingle would for the future embarrass the work.
