A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the defects of nature has lately occurred in the ease of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from Barlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re tsided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill eas of several, months' duration, during which period his hair con :flaled to core off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly b ald - lit his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel s , lost of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for irelo.st h air. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try. the to e',"WOWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying Ase a p, 'fith th e most happy results. As soon as part o f a b ottle was thi ck Y , e growth recommenced, and he has no7v to boast of a very that t r o d ug i h uxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, fp itself to is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly 0 ',1, 4 !!t - to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. -1141•"y.lvLAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves and reproduces the lla:events it from falling off or turning Grey; Changes Grey 1 eauti n Original curly soft and it from Scurf and Dand r uff, an d Colour ; frees 77,3 dly . c. 48 23rare of " spurious compounds" under the title of "MA , OIL," some under the " Implied" sanc ti on o f R oyalty and ernment Departments, with similar attempts at deception. 111217LAAND'S MACASSA R OIL is sold by the proprietors, at 20, O.IG AILDEN LONDON, and all respectable Chemists and "alters. 1 1 E LONDONSEAsoN .

The season in London once more is begun ItY it be a good season for MOSES and SON ; • at ay the Lords and the Commons, returning to town Visit MOSES and SON at their Mart of renown. • MOSES and SON would most heartily thank Their numerous patrons of title and rank, Whose favours, last year, were surprisingly great, And such as did honour to men of the state; And while the proprietors thank them for these, T haY solicit new favours from Lords and M.P.'s, As the Lords and the gentlemen forming the state In their nightly discussions are oft detain'd late, The elegant wrappers of MOSES and SON Would protect and prevent any harm being done. Goble Lords, after making long speeches, require Additional warmth in their over attire And all who would value their health should take care To avoid any hurt from the chilly night air, Which In plain honest words may be easily done, seeking protection from MOSES and SON.

PARISS' PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy sicians have long discovered that'll diseases of the lungs and air passages, a remedy to be really efficatious must come in direct contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it be administered under the form of vapoir or smoke. Tlie diseases in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty of breathing,' tightness of the chest, sssmodic asthma, catarrhs, hoarseness, sore throats,. aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c.

Donizetti's opera of The Favorite was produced here last evening, for the purpose of introducing Mr. Travers as a new priino tenore to the English public, in the character of Fer dinand. Mr. Travers appeared some years since at Covent garden, during the season of Adelaide Kemble and Mrs. Alfred Shaw, as a secondo tenore. He that time exhibited great taste, but IN as deficient in power of voice, and in mu sical science. Nevertheless, he was the most promising of our young singers, and we well recollect—and recollect it with a feeling of satisfaction—that we spoke of him as he de served, as one who, by application and science, might attain to a high rank in his 'profession. The promise which Mr. Travers then held forth he has now abundantly fulfilled, At the conclusion of that season he went to Italy, where he has devoted himself to the study of his profession, and he has reaped the fruits of that study, and is now one of the most accomplished tenor singers on the English stage. His voice has greatly increased in power. It fills the Theatre without an appearance of effort. His knowledge of music is great—his intonation is perfect, and he is an adept in all the resources of his art. Not only is he an admirable musi cian, but he is also an excellent actor, and is one of the few English singers - who thoroughly understands recita tive, and can make it tell. In his opening scene in the .convent he was beautiful, and in the impasSioned scene at the conclusion of the third act, when, after the marriage with Leonora, he discovers he has been deceived by the King, and casts at the feet of his sovereign the order of knighthood with which the sovereign has dishonoured him, his acting was very fine. In this scene an incident happened, which might have tried the nerves of even a practised actor. Ferdinand is to draw his sword, and break ing it, to cast the fragments at the feet of the King, In drawing the sword from the scabbard, the sword gave way, and the broken fragment of the blade flew off as it was drawn. This incident Mr. Travers turned to ad vantage. He pointed to the fragment of the sword, and, with convulsive energy, cast the hilt at the feet of the King, and thus turned an unfortunate accident into a triumph. The-great hit of the evening was the third act. Excellent as he is in impassioned scenes, it is evident that theyorte of Mr. Travers is in the pathetic, and be gave the whole of the third act con amore. The beautiful solo in which he welcomes his return to the cloister was given with exquisite feeling, and was deservedly honoured with an encore. Mr. Travers thoroughly entered into the spirit of the scene and acted as well, sung with the utmost grace and feeling. The duet which follows with Leonora was most touchingly given —in tact, the whole act was a perfect triumph. He was called for at the conclusion of the third act, and also at the conclusion of the piece, and if he goes on as he has begun Mr. Travers will be, ere long, re cognised as the first of English tenors. One great advantage which he possesses over his competitors is, his perfect com mand over his voice. He knows exactly what is to be done, and how to do it, and he never fails to accomplish thit at which he aims. There is, moreover, nothing throaty in thp quality of his voice. Like an Italian he sings from the lips, and the consequence is, that his articulation is perfect. He is a worthy pupil of a worthy school, and the English school of opera will be greatly advantaged by the advent of M. Travers. We hope that others of our rising singers will follow his example, and perfect themselves by an Italian campaign. The house was crowded, and, the triumph of -the debutant was complete. • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EXTENSIVE EMBEZ ZLEMENT. —Yesterday, at the Borough Court, Manchester, a cotton broker, named Thomas Smith, who was also intrusted (as servant to Mr. Alderman Shuttleworth) with the management of an extensive commis sion agency to Messrs. Strutt, of Derby, was brought up on a charge of embezzlement. The prisoner absconded about two months ago, and it was then stated that an examina tion of his accounts disclosed defalcations to the amount of more than 10,0001. lie was apprehended on Monday, in Manchester, having come to the Bankruptcy Court to sur. render as a bankrupt, and get the protection of the Court. The examination yesterday did not disc:ose the extent of his embezzlements. It was proved that he had received a cheque from Messrs. Simon and Co., merchants, on the 29th of May last, for 3201. 145., in payment of an account to Messrs. Strutt and Co., and another cheque, for 3581., from Messrs. Potter, Steil, and erchants, on the 26th of J une , on account of the same Co.,firm. The first of these checks was upon the bank of Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., and the other upon the Union Bank of Manchester, and both were proved to have been cashed about the time of payment, but neither of the sums had been accounted for. The prisoner was remanded till next Wednesday, in order that other cases might be taken against him. EXPERIMENTS WITH ROCKETS.—The experiments - with Mr. Hale's rockets took place at Shoeburyness on the day announced, and were on the whole of a favourable na ture. The report of Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmers and Lieu tenant-Colonel Hardinge, K.H., the members of the select committee who were present during the experiments, has not yet been made, and consequently the full details are not known. Six of the rockets were fired from a new description of stand, submitted by Mr. Hale, and they appeared to an swer remarkably well. Mr. Hale invented a circular species of tube for firing rockets from the decks of vessels, tried with success on board th e Excellent gunnery-ship at Portsmouth. BONDING PRIVILEGES.

Bill, Lord 31. 'l'uthell, 11. We understand that a deputation, consisting of Lords Lucan, Doneraile, and Bernard, and Messrs. S. O'Brien , G. A. Hamilton, Henry Grattan, &c., had an interview with Lord John Russell, on Wednesday, or the purpose of laying before his Lordship resolutions adopted at a meeting of Irish Peers and representatives, w ith respect to the immediate measures of relief for Ireland, proposed in his Lordship's statement on Monday. The purport of the resolutions was to urge the necessity of promptly extending the Irish com missariat. The deputation was most courteously received, and Lord John Russell, in reply to their resolutions, stated that it was the intention of the Government, with the least possible delay, to make arrangements for the increase of relief committees in such districts as most required addi tional aid, and for the formation of committees in distant districts where none at present existed. His Lordship was understood to say that the Treasury advances to enable the committee to supply food to the destitute would be promptly made, without waiting for the levy of the rate contemplated for that purpose. The advances are to be made on the se curity of the rate.—Chronicle. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—lnformation has been received by the police of a highway robbery on the Essex-road, near Romford. It appears that two waggoners in the employment of a farmer named Park, at Stock, had been to London with loads of agricultural produce, and were returning late in the evening, when the hindermost was pounced upon by two fellows, who gagged him to prevent his crying out, and then proceeded to rifle his pockets, ex pecting, no doubt, to find the proceeds of what they had been conveying to market, but, fortunately, the amount had been paid over to a party in town. Aisappointed in their booty, they robbed him of what little money of his own he had about him, and then hurried forward to his companion, whom they also gagged and robbed of his little all, amount ing to 103. or l s.; and when the other came up effected , their escape. Two men known in the neighbourhood aret in custody of the Essex olice, wh-en the po r telLws plundered have id en tifi e d as the part i es who committed the L outrage.

Captain Austen has not as yet made any attempt to float the wreck, but hopes are still entertained of his succeeding • next springs. It is proposed to lighten her still further, and endeavour to float her with casks. A raft has been con structed to facillitate the communication from the'shore, but has not yet been used, on account of the heavy surf. -•••• No more casualties have occurred. A few of the boys and seamen are suffering from the - exposure and fatiguing duty on the beach; the worst cases will be forwarded to the flag ship at Portsmouth at the earliest opportunity, but no seri ous case has appeared. • Toe men are comfortably . lodged '‘in Mr. Home's barn. No desertions have occurred since, nor have the crew committed any excesses; indeed, under the circumstances, and with very few exceptions, their behaviOur has been most orderly. The weather , has been very unpropitious for operations upon the wreck, blowing very hard from the S. and S.W., with squalls and rain. • Captain Cragg and Lieutenant Marryat are indefatigable in their exertions for the comfort of the crew, .and in endea vouring to save what portions of the wreck and 'stores have been strewed along the beach, and carting them to a place of safety. • NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 28.—A severe gale has been blowing on this coast all Right, and numerous reports of moat serious and fatal disasters have been brought in to-day. One is that a fishing vessel was swamped off the Wight, and that all hands perished. This, however, wants confirmation. Not so another disaster. The brig Gipsy, of and from Hull, George Jackson master, laden with wheat and peas, bound to Cork, which struck at five o'clock this morning on the east end of the Woolsners (a most fatal shoal, near Cumberland Fort, about four miles along the Southsea shore), and con tinued to do_so heavily until half-past' eight (nearly high water), when she filled. The crew (ten in , number) left her in the longboat a sho'rt time previously, and on approaching the shore she. was capsized in the surf, when all would in evitably have perished but for. the brave self-devotion 'of Lieutenant Clark, and the men under his command, of the Hayling Coast-guard station, who, having witned the catastrophe, nobly rushed into the surf and draggs them out. Nine out of ten of the crew, including the captain, were thus rescued; the tenth, a boy. named John Cliff Atkinson, perished. After the crew got into the surf, the wash of khe shingle was so much " alive" as to render their death age rently certain, and, but for the prcinpt and gallant conduct above detailed, not a soul would have been saved; as it is, all but one (the boy) are comfortably lodged ashore, and are doing well. It is expected the brig will be a total wreck. The African steam-tug has been sent out to her assistance by the naval authorities but was compelled to return with out effecting any good, the vessel being too far on the shoal to:enable anything to get near her, and there being a tre mendous sea on. The Echo tug is taking on board materials wherewith to commence operations with the Sphynx the next spring tide, should the weather moderate, of which there appears no pro bability at present. She will take, among other necessaries, two paddle-box boats, these being the only craft that can live in such heavy seas and fatal surfs as prevail in the neighbourhood of the Sphynx. The Eurydice, 26, Captain Talavera Anson, and the Con,- test, 12, Commander M'Murdo, were cruising off Sierra Leone on the 16th ult. The ships were healthy, as was the coast, at the above date. The Curlew, 10-gun brig, 233 tons, built at Woolwich, in 1830, has Leen fitted as a mortar-vessel, upon the plan of Lieutenant Julius Roberts, of the Royal Marine Artillery, as we stated she was ordered to be upwards of nine months ego. A. trial of the experiment will take place in a few days, under distinguished superintendence. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JANUARY 28.

FABRICATED CHARGE Or ATTEMPTED MURDER.— It was stated, some time since that a young man named Charles Smith, who had received an appointment at Reading, had been followed there by a young woman with whom be had formerly lived in other towns, and that during an inter view a quarrel ensued, and that he cut her throat. The ac cused, who is the son of a respectable attorney at Bridg north, Shropshire, had only resided in Reading about a month, and holds a Government appointment in the Tax office. When the charge was made, directly after the com mittal of the act, on Wednesday night, the 20th instant,. he was taken into custody, and the woman having greatly re covered from the effects of the injuries inflicted, the exami nation of the accused commenced before the Mayor (Mr. Morris) and other magistrates on Monday, and the investi gation terminated on Tuesday evening in the dismissal of the case. The statement of the woman proved to be a most gross fabrication, as she had inflicted the wound herself, be cause he refused to let her alive with him again, and then charged him with having attempted to murder her. MEETING OP LEATHER FACTORS ON THE BROKER AGE FEES.—Yesterday a meeting of the leather factors and tanners took place at the London Tavernmspecting the prac tice of charging brokerage to the buyer at public auctions connected with the trade. Mr. Wm. Mortimer was called to the chair, and, after a few explanatory remarks, it was moved by Mr. Rogers, of Stoneport, and seconded by Mr. W. Holmes, of Hull, " That this meeting fully concurs in the resolution adopted by the meeting of the 14th inst., condem natory of the practice of charging brokerage to the buyer at public auctions—a practice alike obnoxious and illegal, and wholly indefensible by any argument which has been used in its support. It was next proposed by Mr._ 1111 tee, of r of Hull, and supported by Mr. R. C larke, the public minster, " That the brokers hav in g a a sa m le ica t b h l i e s dsae3t,tlermejeecnttedofthteheovqeurestutrioens ,maydeotoet t r h e e m f missoinrn. of i t n h g e phireodkgeersagiteseolffontne-uhsaelf apleirncelenntst,owthhbeiefhacatorers,letghaisllymenenta fairly available, to procure the total abolition of the double brokerage in futusree.:odTedhlbsyw:isr .fo ß ll a o w w f e o d rd, byofano Hull,t h r andresolu tion, t fr: moved and o Rogers, of Kidderminster, That with this view the com mittee be authorised to adopt all such steps, whether by ap plication to the Court of Aldermen to enforce the compliance of the brokers with the rules expressly made by that Court for their government, or by action at law, or by application to Parliament, as the committee may deem expedient.' Subsequently resolutions were carried, inviting all other trades to co-operate in the object of the meeting, as the prin ciple affects them all. Th e usua l vote of thanks being awarded the chair, the meeting broke up. AUSTRALIAN TRUST COMPANY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held, yesterday, at the offices in Moorgate-street. John Abel Smith, Esq., M.P., having taken the chair, the manager, Mr. Innis, read the report of the directors, by which it appeared, that after appropriating 5001. for the half-year, in reduction of preliminary expenses, and providing for a dividend of three per cent. for the half year (six per cent. per annum), there remained 4,1491.35. to be added to the reserve fund, which would then amount to 41,9601. 17s, sd. without taking credit for the six months' interest due in Australia, on the 31st ult. By the statement at the end of the profit and loss account it would appear that the amount outstanding upon mortgagee, on the Ist of July last, was 336,9621. lls. 10d., which was a reduction of 28,190/. ss. 4d., during the half-year between the Ist of January and the Ist of July, 1846; which . arose from the facility of borrowing money of the local banks at a reduced rate of interest ; but should a demand for money occur at Sydney, it was expected that borrowers would have ag4ha recourse to this establishment for loans. After a short dis cussion the report was adopted unanimously, and a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and directors, when the meeting adjourned.
