Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Berough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grinastone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Wee ley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perflime itis far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the abovefact--3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and arevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly.

GALES BALLOON SINCE ITS RE CENT RECOVERY. —The announcement that Mr. Gale would make another aerial trip with the identical balloon drat escaped a few we. ks since at Glasgow, an d d o _ scended at Brandon, in Northumberland, drew together, on Tuesday atternoon, a large assemblage of spectators at the Rosherville Gardens, near Gravesend, where the truant machine proudly lifted its vast proportions with all the brightness and grandeur that characterised its first exhibition. The visitors, who were happily grouped in large and small parties on the green lawn, bolt cliff, warlike tower, and other picturesque places of resort and promenade, watched with no small atten tion the process of inflation, which , owing to some acci dental obstruction in the gas-pipe, did not proceed s o rapidly as was necessary for the carrying out of Mr. Gale's varied evolutions in mid air. The difficulty, however, was, in a measure, met by the aeronaut's de termination to use only a single car, which was accord ingly adjusted for the purpose of ascertaining the as cending power of the balloon, which was little more than half full of gas. Fortunately it was found sufficiently light to lift with Mr. Gale, Mr. Henry Coxwell, of aeronautic celebrity, together with some firewoticsAind a fair share of ballast. At about six o'clock the Prince of Wales was liberated, and ruse majestically over - the gardens, when the aeronauts bowed their acknow ledgments to several rounds of hearty cheers. At an altitude of about half a mile a grand salute was fired in honour of the Duchess of Kent's birthday, the smoke and reports of which created wonderment and admira tion. The balloon then entered a cloud, but soon re turned within view of the spectators, and hovered for at least twenty minutes over Gravesend. After remaining up for half an hour the balloon descended safely at White Hill, near Cobham Park, and on the return of Mr. Gale and Mr. Coxwell, the spectators, both out side and inside the gardens,_ expressed their commenda tion at so unusual a spectacle. SIEGE OPERATIONS AT CHATHAM DEFORM GEN. SIR HARRY SMITH.—On Wednesday a greed display of siege operations took place before General Sir Harry Smith. A large number of the officers of the garrison were present, including the Commandant-Colonel James Simpson. The' operation s were under t h e di r ection of Colonel Sir Fred. Smith. The operations commenced era by an assault on Prince Hen ry ' s B ast i on , th e East India Company's men, with the R oya l Art ill ery an d line, being the defenders of the works assau l te d un d er c ommand of Royal e, fi e Sappers ,E . The and next Minersoperation ti incharge of Captain Captain Robertson. The attac k ers cons isted of the construc tion of a pontoon bridge, w hi ch was a bl y a nd quickly formed under the directi on o f Capta i n F enw ick, R.E., and Sir Harry Smith, with seve r a l officers and ladies, n wasthe m walked on it - for some time. Some field pieces with a number of artillery-men were also taken across the bridge, which was remarkably steady. This was fol lowed by the destruction of a sunken battery of five guns, by mines consisting two of 601bs. of powder each, and one of 801bs., the firing being under t h e direction of Lieweaant Wilkinson, and was done in the same man ner as would be adopted by the defenders of a place in destroying the breaching batteries of the besiegers. The explosions followed each other in succession, and the effect was most magnificent, giving the greatest satisfaction to all present Sir Harry Smith particularly expressed delight at the operation. The last operation was that of breaching a stockade of great strength. A party of men, with large sap rollers, advanced to the stockade with a charge of powder, which they deposited by means of a hand-truck against the building, when the first charge of 601 b. of gunpowder, pressed down with bags of sand, was fired, the effect of which was the destruction of several pieces of timber. At the other end of the stockade is charge of 100 lb. was placed, with out being pressed with bags of sand, which, by Bick ford's fusee, was timed for a minute or two, when an explosion took place, effectively clearing an opening, by blowing down and breaking ono or two of the balks of timber, dislodging others, and scattering large splinters of wood in all directions. The operations being con cluded, General Sir Harry Smith paid a high compli ment to Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, and the engineer officers and men under his command. He had been highly pleased with the operations of the day. The Gallant General on riding off the ground, attended by his brother, Major Thomas Smith, was loudly cheered by the assembled troops. During the afternoon Sir Harry recognised several of his old campaigners, the wounded soldiers of the Sutlej, and entered familiarly into con versation with them. In the evening General Sir Harry Smith dined with the commandant of the garrison, Colonel Simpson, at his residence at the Government house. Sir H. Smith intends leaving Chatham to-morrow.

FATAL STEAM-BOATACCIDENT.......,Mr. W. Payne held an inquest yesterday at the Glazier's Arms, Water lane, Blackfriars, on the body of William March, aged nineteen, who lost his life by falling from the Ant steamer. The deceased was an apprentice to Mr. Howse, haireiresser, and on Saturday last fell from the side of the Ant steamer, plying between Hungerford and London-bridge. Ho was not found until noon on Wed nesday, floating • ' 1 n the river off Blackfriars'-bridge steam-boat pier. The jury returned a verdict of acci dental death. LIGHTNING. --- CAUTION. —On Monday evening Islington was visited by a storm, with thunder, when Mr. Spencer T. Hall, who sat reading, on a chair, the seati ng of which was bound with a thick brass wire, was ceue,ht, by the lightning. Fortunately, however, it did no harm beyond giving him a slight shock, and scorch ing that portion of his thigh in proximity to the metal. This should be le warning to those in the habit of sitting on chairs or sofas thus constructed whilst lightning is so prevalent and active. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the proprietors, said, under the pecuniary pressure that had recently prevailed in the money market, the distress caused by dearth, almost amounting to famine, and the difficulties that had attended not only upon railways, but on almost every other commercial enterprise in the country, gave him cause, he thought, to congratulate the proprietors on the result of their working during the last six months. There was nothing, he thought, so sensitive in seasons of national distress and of financial fluctuation, there was no surer barometer of commercial activity or of commercial stagnation than a railway; and he, there fore, thought that their receipts were, under the circum stances, extremely satisfactory.—(Cheers.) The length of line that had been opened during the last six months was exactly the same as that which had been opened during the corresponding period of 1846, and the number of passengers of all classes had during that period remained very much the same; their goods traffic had considerably increased.—(Cheers.) The general re ceipts of their revenue had advanced; not indeed in a very great degree, but to the extent of about 10,0001., demonstrating that, independently of the extraneous sources of property to which they might look when other lines were completed, that the traffic on that portion of their line which was already opened was still far from developed, and that under ordinary circumstances of national prosperity they might safely and fairly look still further for a considerable increase. —(Cheers.) Under all these circumstances the directors felt that they were perfectly justified in declaring a dividend at the rate of eight per cent. per annum.—(Cheers.) The Chairman then alluded at some length to the result of their Parliamentary proceedings in the last session. They had most unexpectedly lost their Windsor line, while that line had been obtained by a company who had no legitimate claim to its possession. The South- Western, however, could only carry their line to Black pots, so that they were in reality almost as far from Windsor as the Great Western were at Slough. In ad dition to this, there was a strong and general feeling that great injustice had been done to the Great Western in the matter, and from what had since passed, they (the Great Western) did not entertain a doubt but that they would eventually carry their line to Wind or. As a set-off to this loss, they had obtained the West London Extension to the City. The South-Western had carried their Exeter and Yeovil line through the Commons, but the Great Western, as they had done in a previous case, might beat them still in the Lords. They (the Great Western) more over, by their line from Elungerford to Westbury, and Castlecary to Taunton, had what was almost tanta mount to a competing line to this, and with the powers of the broad gauge, would be able to demonstrate that they were infinitely superior in speed, safety, and every other attribute.—(Cheers.) On the Ist of September :hey would bring fresh improvements into play. They proposed to accelerate the speed of their ordinary trains, and by an alteration in their arrangements they hoped to be able to diminish the time in which more particu larly third-class passengers would be conveyed between the termini. He believed that the more the South- Western made aggressions to the west, the more they would be inflicting injury Ott themselves. The South- Western had hitherto acted on the offensive. It was now the turn of the Great Western, if they pleased to retaliate, and they might, if they saw fit, proceed from Basingstoke to Southampton and Portsmouth, the inhabitants of both which latter places were eagerly looking for it, to shorten their cornmunica tien with the south and north of England. Not a single instance could be found of an aggression of the Great Western on the South-Western, though so great a clamour was raised as to the aggressive policy of the Great Western. Mr. Hudson, the other day, had cast a stone of this kind from his sling, as though to warn the Great Western on the subject, but through all the wide extent of Mr. Hudson's dominions, he was at a loss to know one instance in which the Great Western had even touched or approached his sovereignty.— (Laughter.) How different, however, was it with Mr. Hudson, who, at the instigation of the London and North-Western and others, promoted several Bills that were direct aggressors on the Great Western district, besides buying up the Birmingham, and Gloucester, and Bristol lines at the very moment that the Great Western were negotiating for them. If Mr. Hudson meant what he said as the vthicle of a threat, the Great Western were well'ablellirtreat it with indifference r if, on the' other hancl,lttiz.eant it in a spirit of peace, they were as perfectly rea to responi to it.--(Chaers.o He con gratulated them on obtaiSing the Cheltenham and Oxford line, notwithstanding Mr. Glyn had congra tulated his constituents on having lost it, for it was most important to the Great Western in terests as connecting them more intimately with the south of Wales and the south of Ireland. In other respects they had succeeded in keeping what must become the broad gauge district intact. He re gretted he could not report any amicable adjustment of the Birmingham and Oxford; the only case, he believed, in which they could be charged with having adopted an their e the r case north until they both b ta hgy the ebs as Midland idvebel einneunceasingly th andeattackedn t L h i o s n d London was ni n and Birmingham. They had agreed, as a last resort, to submit the matter to an amicable suit in Chancery; but although the de putations of both companies agreed to this, the solicitor for the dissentient shareholders in the Birmingham and Oxford and the solicitor of the London and North- Western totally disagreed to it, and the matter was abruptly broken off. They were further asked to sur render the right to appoint four directors to the dissen tient shareholders, but of course they could not consent. That question, therefore, remained as it was. In Oc tober the directors would take an opportunity of laying before the proprietors their prospects for the next ses sion. They would be as few as possible, and those that had been already passed would not be carried on with precipitation. What capital they required to complete their lines in progress they proposed raising by loan, on the security of the parent undertaking; and there could be no doubt of their obtaining the money at 5 per cent. His colleagues and himself were still ear nest, as they always had been, for peace, not only with the Birmingham and Oxford, but all others; and when the disputed question of the Birmingham and Oxtord was settled by some competent authority, he saw no in surmountable obstacle to the consummation of such a peace. If they came to some amicable and reasonable arrangement, if they pursued their projects prudently and progressively, there was ample room for all of them, and the resources of the extended, and still extend ing traffic of the country, were sufficient to maintain un impaired, not only with advantage to themselves, but the greatest advantage to the public, the prosperity of the irrespective undertakings.—(Loud applause.) Mr. C. A. SAUNDERS, the secretary, read the report, which stated— " That the passenger traffic had continued numerically about the same as in the corresponding period of 1846, although the income had diminished to the extent of 4,1001.; while the merchandise business, on the other hand, had, upon a similar comparison, increased both in tonnage and in receipts, liz : Tons conveyed.

The general revenue account had been credited with a sum of 30,0001., being about a moiety of the premiums which have been realised by the sale of some shares belonging to this company; the difference being reserved for future appropriation ac cording to circumstances. The balance now disposable by the proprietors was 255,3431. 17s. 7d., from which the directors recommend a dividend of four per cent. to be declared for the half-year, amounting to 230,0461', leaving a balance of 25,2977. 17s. 7d. t o be carried to the credit of the next account. Th e di rectors referred with pleasure to the improvin g rece ipt s ' of this company during the few weeks since June, as indicative of a progressive increase of business, such as had been heretofore experienced, almost without exception, upon every main line of railway throughout England. They confidently believe that any suspension of such natural increase has been temporary, and may be justly ascribed totahree in statteheofernapffsainr; 1846. Although the Parliamen tary upon the di s a strous tan tary proceedings during the last session have not been in all respects as satisfactory to the interests of thecom pany as could have been desire d, much had nevertheless been accomplished in the pr o t ection of their rig hts, and considerable advantages h ad been obtainedßa. in securlway.Tinhg valuable traffic to the Great West ern e t South-Western Company had obtained an extension their Richmond Railway to Staines and .

The naeasur , .... submitted . to Parliament for di rect iines to Exeter wer e still left to be finally disposed of i n the next sessi on. The Committee of the House of Com. mons decided to give this company a direct line as far as Castle Carey, and also to give to the Bristol and Exeter Company a broad gauge continuation from Castle Carey to join their line between Bridge water and Taunton the whole scheme forming one direct railway and Exeter.

The forl wny ra from Oxford to Cheltenh am , p romoted by a companyl in connexion with the Gr ea t W estern, had been preferred to the opposing scheme of th e L on d on and North- Western Company, between M arswort h and Chelten ham, which was rejected. In no case h a d success at tended any of those various proj ec t s i n di rect oppos i tion to this company, which were attempted d ur i ng t h e l ast session by the Midland, or the London an d N ort h- Western Companies, and which it had been th oug ht ex raerotusejeoec beti rt stl il an e el e . sa n ; ba: otwu London ren eof ex pedient to resist in their progress through Parliament, as injurious to the interests of the Great Western Com pany. The power to purchase the Birmingham, Wol verhampton, and Dudley Railway, and the confirmation of the agreement for that purchase, as well as of those of the Uxbridge and Wycombe lines had been obtained, with authority to make the Henley and Radatoke branches. The directors had given their best consideration to the steps which might be most advantageously taken in the way of augmenting their capital, by a nAWreation of shares, or of otherwise providing the funds necessary for the subscriptions authorised to other railway companies, and also towards the construction of new lines, or works, sanctioned by Parliament. The sub scriptions to other companies hitherto paid up; had been advanced out of the general funds of the company, without any specific employment of the powers granted by those several Acts, which in each case enable the company either to create new shares of their own, or to raise the money by guarantee out of the corporate funds, or annual revenues of the Great Western Com pany, to persons who may advance the amount of such subscriptions. A resolution was to be proposed to the general meeting, for the purpose of sanctioning the issue of such guaranteed securities as may enable the direc tors to obtain the requisite funds for the subscriptions in question, without resorting at present to any creation of new shares. The circumstances of the country and the convenience of the proprietors seem concurrently to re quire that, during the present pressure of the money market, as little outlay as possible should be incurred, and that the construction of new works should be re tarded and spread over a longer time rather than be ac celerated. It is intended to work the Great Western trains over the new line into Cheltenham in the course of next month, the rails for the broad gauge being al ready laid between Gloucester and Cheltenham, and the station at the latter place nearly completed. The ap proaching completion of the South Devon Railway to Plymouth would, it was predicted, open an entirely fresh source of traffic to the line, and add importantly to the income, by bringing that harbour and arsenal within an uninterrupted railway communication with the metropolis. It was proposed for the future to keep the whole locomotive stock (the cost of which at present amounts to 755,8961. 17s. 4d.), as a separate item in the capital account, showing the total sum expended from time to time, as plant for all the lines worked by the company, distinguished from the cost of the construction of the railway." Mr. BRUNEL, in reply to the Rev. Mr. Nicholson, said that the line to Newbury would be opened in the course of the year. A PROPRIETOR called attention to the large propor tion of revenue absorbed in legal expenses, and hoped the directors would do all in their power to reduce them. Mr. VOUZLET complimented the directors on the course they had pursued in connexion with the Bir mingham and Oxford question. It would be unworthy on their part, having the right on their side, to succumb. Mr. LAWRENCE IIEYWORTH, of Liverpool, congratu lated the meeting on the satisfactoriness of the financial statement. He deprecated the present contest in regard to the Birmingham and Oxford, and warned all the nar row gauge lines of this—that, as the Great Western had the most powerful means for conveying the traffic of the country, it must of necessity prevail. The country de manded, and the country would have it.—(Cheers.) They might as well attempt to stop the tide as to arrest the improving progress of the broad gauge. After some explanations from Mr. Crossthwaite, one of the auditors, with reference to the account's, the re port was adopted, and a vote of thanks igijking been passed to the chairman and directors by aTlamation, the meeting dispersed. %Sib SOUTHAMPTON AND DORCHESTER. The usual half-yearly general meeting of the share holders in this undertaking was held yesterday at the offices of the company, Nine Elms, Lord de Manley in in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the line had now ken opened some months, and that the traffic had exceeded the most sanguine ex ectations of promoters. uptesvard acci occurred mrthe tunnel soon after its comple an approval by Captain Coddington, the Government inspector, was the only thing which detracted from the general satisfac :ion. An arrangement had been entered into with the London and South-Western Railway Company, by which that company became the sole proprietors of the line. The offer which had been made by the London and South-Western was a liberal one; and in effecting the amalgamation, regard had been had to the comple tion and efficiency of the line and to the interests of the shareholders. On the motion of the noble chairman the report was agreed to; and as this concluded the busi ness, the meeting, which was very scantily attended, se parated. MURDER OF THE DUCHESS OF PRASLIN. Our Paris letter of Wednesday contains the follow ing : Between five and six o'clock this morning the Duchess of Praslin, daughter of Marshal Sebastiani, was discovered murdered in her bed in her hotel in the Faubourg St. Honore, eight doors from the Bri tish Embassy. " It appears that the Duchess returned to Paris yesterday evening only, in order to take with her to a watering place some of her children, whose exami nations at their respective schools had just concluded. This morning, between five and six o'clock, the femme de chanzbre of the Duchess was awoke by her lady's bell, and instantly proceeded to her apartment, which she found secured within. After calling loudly and making ineffectual attempts to open the door, she called up other servants, who forced an entrance, and found the Duchess expiring in her bed. She had re ceived seven wounds from a poniard. The assassin, who is supposed to have known the house well, is be lieved to have escaped by leaping into the garden from the window of the Duchess's sleeping room, and which opens on the . Champs Elysees. The victim was unable to utter a word before she expired. " An alarm was instantly given, and in a very short time the Procureur du Roi, the Prefect of Police, and a considerable number of the most intelligent police officers were on the spot, and took active measures for tracing the author of the crime. Every person found in the house, and everybody who entered it afterwards, were taken into custody. The efforts of the police have not, up to this moment (three o'clock p.m.), relaxed in the slightest degree. If human sagacity and energy can insure success, it is impos • sible that the assassin can escape. . . ~...._ " Several rumours are afloat, to which, of course, I shall not give publicity. As no robbery was effected, murder only is believed to have been the intention of the perpetrator of this appalling crime. It is, among other reports, stated that the murder is a ' Corsican vengeance' (vendetta), but it is difficult to admit this this rumour, for there did not exist a more excellent woman, nor one more universally beloved than the Duchess of Praslin. She was very handsome, the mother of nine children, who live to deplore her.loss. l'he Duke is, it is said, at Plombieres (a watering place in the department of the Vosges). " Marshal Sebastiani left Paris only three days since for Corsica. A telegraphic dispatch has been sent to Marseilles to recall him to Paris.

At Jamaica, no reduction whatever had taken place in the rates of freights since the departure of the previous mail. The quan tity of produce on hand for which no conveyance could be obtained, was exceedingly large, and freights were expected to keep up for some time to come. Throughout the Azores peace and quietness prevailed. Her Majesty's steamer Sidon, and brig Recruit, were to return from Fayal to Terceira, it was supposed, to await the arrival of troops from Portugal. By this arrival we have our usual files of papers which 'confirm to a considerable extent th e foregoi ng account of the weather. There are, h owever , some ex ceptions ; the rainy season had set in at Trinidad, and there was a prospect of its continuance, but a consider able quantity of produce was waiting for shipment.

At Jamaica, th e exceedively dry 1 s the weather is confirmed. The di s p a t c h states, t t 44 4 both the north and south sides of the island were alike in this respect.

Sugar making is finished on many of the estates, and on most would have been so had the weather been good for planting. The canes left standing to supply plants will now be cut down, aid the crop for 1847 finished, which, we are happy in stating, will show a considerable increase on that of 1846."
