Elev .... FINE HE AD OF HAIR. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL. The ex`raordinfuy efficacy, and happy amalgamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly renowned through out the world for its remarkabile virtues in nourishing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair in Its embryo state, accelerates its growth, cleanses it from Scurf and Dandruff, sustains it in maturity, and continues its pos session of healthy 'vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redun dancy, to the latest period of human life. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; so that, in numerous instances wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by re-in stating, in full plenitude, the permanent gifts and graces of nature. For children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine somb unnecessary.

If you are in want •f that beautiful adornment of the human tlgnre, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist cr druggist, or perfumer, an I Is. battle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Ber bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whore 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 Grimstene, Merchaat, lierbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, unler 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. Gd., 7s.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age you will remember the thousands of blind, you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff 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 of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grimstone, 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.

POLICE IN 'rELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. Alfred Hawksbee, a young fellow described as a cheesemonger, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having conspired with others to defraud Mr. James Meteyard, a butcher in the New-road, of the sum of 301., under the following circumstances : The complainant stated that whilst standing at the door of his stop, about the beginning of July last, the prisoner, of whom he had some slight previous knowledge, engaged him in conversation, in the course of which they were joined by a man named Stead man, who is now under remand at this court upon another charge, and who challenged the prisoner to run him MO yards for a bottle of wine and a couple of sovereigns. The prisoner at once accepted the challenge, and having persuaded the witness to act as the stakeholder, they conducted him to a public house, when the race was lost by the prisoner, and after handing the money over to Steadman he was about to return home, but they insisted that he should stop and partake of the wine which formed part of the bet. The wine was taken into the skittle-ground, at the rear of the premises, where they found a well dressed man, apparently intoxicated, who was making a lavish display of his money, and was engaged in play with two others. Steadman afterwards offered to play the drunken man, who lost several games, and they then persuaded the witness, whom they had plied with brandy and water until he was nearly stupefied, to play the same person a single game for a couple of pounds, which he declined to do for some time, but, on telling them that he had no money in his pocket, they advanced him six sove reigns, saying that they knew him well as a man of substance and respectability, and he then consented, when his antagonist suddenly displayed such skill and dexterity that he lost the whole of the money, to gether with two pounds more, which be obtained feom the same source. At the instigation of the pri soner he then returned home, and having taken 30/. from his desk, from which he refunded the 81. lent him, they managed to entrap him into another public house, where, to his great surprise, he found his former opponent was waiting, and baying been pressed to take mere drink until his senses were almost gone, they induced him to play ten games in succession for a stake of 201., which was also lost, and on taking up his coat, in the pocket of which he had left two loose sovereigns, he found they had been stolen by one of the gang. He had no recollection of anything that took place afterwards, but was confined to his bed for a fortnight, from the effects of the pernicious liquors given him on the occasion ; and his wife's health bad sustained such a shock from the loss of the money, which was all they had at the time to carry on busi ness, that she had been seriously ill ever since. Sergeant Harvey informed the magistrate that he had received a communication from the waiter of a tavern adjoining the prosecutor's residence, who ex pressed his readiness to come forward and depose to the fact that he had overheard the prisoner and his confederates arrange the plan to decoy the prosecutor from his house and plunder him of his money, in the exact mode which they had carried into execution, as detailed by him in his evidence. It having been also intimated that other charges would be preferred against the prisoner's accomplice in the above transaction on the day appointed for his re-examination, The MAGISTRATE ordered the prisoner to be re manded till then ; but consented to accept two substantial sureties in 401. each for his future ap pearance The required bail, however, was not forthcom ing at the close of the court, and the prisoner was therefore taken away in the van to the House of Correction.

The Voix do People was seized on Monday for having published a petition to the N ational Assembly. Having put down the right of meeting, " burked" the right to education, and attacked universal suffrage, the reactionaries are now, it appears, prepared to put down the right of petition. They should take advice of some competent engineer as to what is the usual consequence of preventing the escape of steam by over-weighting the safety valves. It would appear from the Presse that the atrocious spy system of FOUCHE, which was so eloquently de nounced by Madame DE STARL has been reorganized by M. CARLIER. The Presse says— " A year ego sso announced that, after interfering with the press and suppressing the right of meeting, the fseedom of conversation would be assailed, and even silence itself suspected. Facts have appeared to confirm our reasoning. Already has liberty of conversation ceased to exist; we can no longer chat in a salon or at the fire-side without the police intruding and listening. incredible as this may seem it is nevertheless the fact, as has been proved by an unanswered recital of a contempo rary, who has given a detail of facts, which bring us back to the time when Madame de Steel and Madame Reca mier were exiled from France because they had let some epigram escape their lips, or, perhaps, less than that, an ironical smile." The divisions among the various sections of the reactionary party appear to be as profound as ever, although they are for the present united on the sub ject of the Electoral Bill. But it is evident that whenever that measure shall be disposed of they will break out again with greater violence than before. The following Bonapartist manifesto, which appears in the Napoleon, does not bear witness to an ententc cordiale with either Legitimatists or Orleanists : " We have faith," says the organ of the Elysee," in the profound conviction which the Government feels of its mission, of the vital force of society, and of the ex cellent instincts of the masses. When we speak of the Government we do not speak of an individual interest, but have our eyes fixed on the star of France. Providence in opening to France for the last 60 years the career of revolutions, sent to her in the midst of her trials a powerful mediator between the past and the future, to purify now principles, and associate with them those old ones which experience had shown to be indestructible, and establish on this double basis a strong and glorious society. In our eyes forms are of very secondary interest. All that is important is the principle. This also is the opinion of France, which has passed through so many governments to find the accord of liberty and order. Let us not forget that the connexion of contemporaneous history lies in the reciprocal influence of the greatest event and the greatest man of modern times—the French revolution and Napoleon. This is fully comprehended by the instinctive sagacity of the mass. It has never separated the revolution and Napoleon. It is the cause of liberty and of order; the cause of principles and new wants served and satisfied by a national Government. This conviction, which is a profound one in the minds of the people, is a preservative against the extravagant and perverse ideas with which it is sought to poison them. Napoleonism is powertul against Socialism, for it re presents at the same time a national Government re ceiving new influence from popular feeling and true liberty. In the consciousness of such an origin, it de rives a force which enables it to perform all its duties. It comprehends that the more it proceeds in concert with the will of the nation, the more it is bound to display energy. It cannot forget that a timid policy is the worst of all policies, for it gives audacity to men who should be intimidated." The division between the Legitimatists and Orlean ists is scarcely less profound. The Evenement having mentioned a report that a reconciliation was on the eve of taking place between the two branches of the House of Bourbon is thus taken to task by the Le gitimatist Gazette de France : "We have remarked that rumours of a reconciliation between the two branches of the Bourbon family are invariably circulated when it is desired to obtain the votes of the Right for some measure that may com promise their cause. We are therefore not surprised to find this news in a journal, as it is merely a re vival of a rumour which never had any foundation." The Patric has the following on the Electoral Law : " The Committee on the Bill for the revision of the Electoral Law met to-day at eleven o'clock, and remained in deliberation until six o'clock. The general discussion has terminated. We understand the Committee are unanimous as to the necessity of urgency, and of the adoption of the Bill. One of the members proposed the infliction of a fine upon electors inscribed who abstain from voting. This important proposition will be dis cussed at an early sitting. To-morrow the Committee will hear the Ministers, and on Tuesday the resolutions will be come to, and a reporter named. The report will be deposited on Wednesday, so that the discussion in the Assembly may commence on Friday." The same journal says:— " The audacious pretension of M. Napoleon Bonaparte, in protesting against the Assembly and against the re spect due to the laws, continues to excite attention. At a meeting of representatives, which was held this day, it was declared that if the Government should be wanting in the duty imposed upon it on this occasion, there will be members in the party of order who will not shrink from their duty." The reactionaries are having recourse to their usual system of enormous lying, in order to endeavour to terrify the timid into an acquiescence in their nefarious schemes for the reorganisation of that sys tem of corruption by which, under the Monarchy (teste, TESTE) they so largely profited. M. BARBET, on presenting the report of the Committee of the Council-General of Agriculture, Manufacture, and Commerce, thought proper to indulge in a violent oration recommending the adoption by the Govern ment of reactionary and ;coercive measures, and thus described the state of affairs : " On every point the evil is the same, no business is done except tor, short periods. This is from want of security for the present—from want of confidence as to the future." Yet we find by the business report of the same day that " business in Paris is not bad," that " the people are well employed," that " orders for foreign account serve to give a stimulus to trade," that " the shops have good sales," that " the accounts from Lyons are favourable," and that " agricultural produce is gene rallyspeaking rising,in price." Oh ! M. BARBET, M. BARBET ! FERDINAND MENDEZ PINTO was but a type of thee. The Constitutionnel has a semi-official article on the Greek question After recapitulating the details of what has taken place there, which have alr:ady been laid before our readers, it says : " While these things were going on at Athens a treaty had been concluded at London between the French and English Cabinets. A sum of 212,000 francs was allowed as the total amount of the English claims. The Greek Government was to address a simple letter of regret to the English Minister relative to the arrest of the seamen belonging to the Phantom. As to the Portuguese claim of Mr. Pacifico, each of the parties were to name an arbitrator to examine them, and France wa to appoint a third in order to deci de the question.s Two things were agreed upon in t he treat y ; first, that if the plenipotentiaries did not come to an under standing at Athens, they should not resort to any coercive measures until they had referrede in th ma the to London and to Paris; and, secondly, that ether event of a treaty being concluded on the spot, d than it were more or less advantageous for Ean the treaty of London, the former should have prece dence over the latter. Suc h was the :resu y li e o sm f etuh th tus e s. negotiations carried on in London, e atnwdethGeree wrna a perfect accord between The disagreement subsisted oetween the two Plenipoten tiaries at Paris. Baron Gros persisted in demanding that the English Minister should not take any coercive measures until he had referred the matter to his Go vernment. The latter replied that he had no instruc tions which authorised him to act in that manner, an d hostilities were resumed. While the blockade was b e i n g recommenced, the French steamer Vauban arrived in the Pirxus with the ac count that at the moment she left a treaty, negotiated at London, was on the point of being concluded. The English Minister, however, persisted, and the Greek Go vernment yielded and accepted the conditions imposed on her by force. In five or six hours after the Greek Government had yieldedi French and English vessels entered the Pirmus, bring to the negotiators the treaty concluded in London. Such has been, we are assured, the progress of facts. The question which first presents itself is, 'ls it not the treaty of London that ought alone to be binding on the parties? It is said, certainly, in that treaty, that if a convention had been entered into on the spot that alone should be in force. But had such a convention been entered into on the spot? Evidently not. There were conditions imposed by force; their was an act of violence committed at Athens, and a treaty concluded at London. It is this treaty alone which ought to govern the affair. It must be, moreover, remarked that the treaty of London states that in the event of the negotiations not coming to au understanding at Athens, Mr. Wyse would be.in-t structed not to resort to any coercive measures agfaitnwse Greece, without referring to his Government. things, therefore, one: either Mr. Wyse bad s d u Och ver structions, and has not conformed to them, an f London ne theless if he had followed them the treaty o_ .r. would have put an end to the differences; or Wyse. o bad no such instructions. And tiket how could it be stated in London, in a treaty, that h nlish plenipo gs in tact tentiary had such instructions? such as they have been representeldfrttso things, stice towards Greece, and the honour of the Eng hGovernment de mand that the trusty entered into at London shall be alone carried into execution." The Marquis of NORMANBT had a long interview with the Minister for Foreign Affairs yesterday, to whom he communicated a conciliatory reply from Lord PALMERSTON on the subject of the Greek treaty. The treaty of London will, it is said, supersede that entered into by Dir. wiz, .kmen in the iron district of Cruzot, in the Loire, have turned out, and for several 7 had possession of the town. Troops had against them, and it was rumoured in Paris rge portion of the troops had joined them, the insurrection was spreading. It was also rumoured that the PRESIDENT had dis covered an intrigue of the Royalists to sacrifice him to the Bourbons, and that he had therefore determined to break with them definitively, and to make an im mediate change in his Ministry. The overtures made to the tiers Tara in the Napoleon of Sunday would seem to countenance this rumour. The itioniteur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic regulating the mode in which the Superior Council of Public Instruction shall be con voked, in pursuance of the 84th clause of the organic law on education. It also publishes a degree dismiss ing four prefects and two sub. prefects. The Moniteur also publishes a report from the Minister of War, recommending the restoration of the commander of the corps of firemen of Paris, who was removed at the revolution of February. The PRESIDENT of the Republic has restored him by decree. The Union Republicaine of Saint's, whichlwas pro secuted by the Attorney-General for having pub lished a seditious libel, has been acquitted by the jury.

It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which is so frequently overlooked. It is, therefore, of importance that every person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which are disagreeable odour of the breath, fevered tongue, particularly heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, fre quent itching of the nose, an unequal state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the bowels al.o, pale and emaciated countenance, and at other times the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short, cough, great thirst, vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of in clination to take exercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c., &c. These are same of the general symptoms of being afflicted with worms ; adults as well as children are subject thereto. Youth or age may with the utmost safety have recourse to this old established medicine, which is adopted by numerous families. It is with this view that the serious attention of all afflicted persons is directed to the symp toms thus described, which are produced by worms, and to a trial of this safe and effectual remedy, the value of which is corroborated by numerous testimonials through a long period of years. This medicine may be administered with confidence to children or the most debilitated adult, without restraint in diet or confine ment. Its efficacy is also particularly beneficial as an alterative medicine, insensibly removing all impurities of the blood, &c., and promoting a healthful vigour to the whole system.

Henry Stark and William Knight, two notorious burglars, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of being concerned in various burglaries and robberies, and amongst them, the robbery on Sun day, the 28th of last month, at the house of Mr. John Maddle, of No. 14, Claremont-place, Wands worth, where Sarah Snelling, the housekeeper of that gentleman, was fuund dead in so mysterious a manner. The prisoner Stark had been in custody for some days, and the officers had been anxiously engaged in endeavouring to secure his companion, but he ma naged to evade their vigilance until Sunday evening, when Lockyer, the goaler to the court, saw him coming over Blackfriars-bridge and go along the Blackfriars-road. The officer watched him into a house in Market-street, Borough-road, and in a short time saw him come out with a hat instead of a cap. He followed and secured the prisoner, and on search ing his person, found upon him a jemmy, a dark lan thorn, a screw-driver, a dessert knife, and a box of silent matches. The officers, it was said, were in possession of evi , dente of importance as respected the robbery of Mr. Middle, but did not think it prudent at present to declare it, and the prisoners, at their request, were re manded for a week. Mr. paddle was present at the examination, but declared that the prisoners were strangers to him, and that he had not seen them before to his know ledge. CLERKENWELL. Yesterday Joseph Houghton, aged 30, who was described in the police-sheet as an actor, residing at No. 56, Skinner-street, Bishopsgate. street, was placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged by William Richards, master tin• plate worker, of No. 19, Clerk enwell-close, with having wilfully damaged his shop windows. The prisoner was also charged by the prosecutor with having attempted to stab him with a clasp knife. The prosecutor said that on Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, he returned to his residence, which he found surrounded by a mob of between 300 and 400 persons, who had been attracted by the prisoner having attempted to get into the house, by which he broka his windows. Mr. COMBE inquired what the prisoner was ? Mr. Mould (the clerk)—ln the police-sheet he has described himself as " an actor." Mr. C O MBE—What sort of an actor ? Prisoner— I act at Sadler's-wells Theatre. Mr. COMBE—What parts do you perform ? Ham let ? Prisoner—No; I don't aspire so high as that. Mr. COMBE—WeII, did you ever play the Ghost? —(A. laugh.) Prisoner—No, never. Mr. COMBE—Are you a carpenter, scene-shifter, or supernumerary ? Prisoner—Neither. Igoon to say a few words when they require me to do so. Mr. COMBS said there was a theatrical cognomen, the " walking gentleman"—perhaps he came partly under that "line of business." He asked the prose cutor what he knew of the prisoner ? Prosecutor — I know that about twelve month s a g o he charged me with felony. Mr. COMBE—I recollect something about a charge of taking away a man's wife and his goods. Is that the charge of felony you allude to ? The prosecutor hesitated. Prisoner—Yes, he has got my child in his house. I sent for that. Mr. COMBEIS it true ? Have you got his child ? Prosecutor—Yes, your Worship. Mr. COMBE—And his wife also, I suppose ? Pro secutor—Yes. Mr. Mould—What is she ? Prosecutor—She is my housekeeper. She lives with me. Mr. Mould—And sleeps with you, I suppose ? Prosecutor (coolly)—Yes, sometimes. He was en tering into an explanation as to his possession of the prisoner's child, and how be was assailed by the pri soner with the clasp knife, and contradicted himself. Mr. COMBS ordered him to go about his business, and told him he did not believe what he said, end discharged the prisoner. The prisoner now applied for the Magistrate's ad vice as to how he should proceed for the restoration of his child. Mr. COMEE told him he might apply to the Court of Chancery or the Queen's Bench. The parties then left the court. Sir De Lacy Evans, inconsequence of a severe cold during the last week, was obliged to pair off in favour of the third reading of thelrish Franobin Bill with Mr. Blake -1139113. HOLLAND.

We have received Cape journals to the 10th March ; but they contain not a particle of news which would prove of the least interest to the English reader. THE PENINSULAR MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 14.
