V. A strikipg instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Worthatn, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning.irom harlestone Aarket to Weybred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con tinued to come off, till be became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his heat had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstanc , s, he was induced to try the effect or ROWLAND'S MACASSArt OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has new to ho st of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong.

Mr. Pasbley and Mr. Henniker conducted the case for the plaintiff. and Mr. Humfrey with Mr. Lush appeared for the defendant. Mr. eASIILEY, in stating the case. said that the action was brought against the defendant in his character of director of the Parcel Post Company, for the recovery of 571. 10s., the value of hay, clover, and straw which had been supplied by the plaintiff for the use of the company between the 7th of January and the 4th of February in the previous year. The defendant, Mr. George Price Hill, was an attorney, having a house in Soho-square, and a country house at New Hamp stead, and had become during the past autumn a director of this company. The prospectus put forth a most flourishing description of the prospects—the certainties he might call them—of the profitable results that must arise from its estab lishment and operation. Amongst other advantages it pro mised was, first, the payment of 5 per cent. upon the depo sits, which was to be paid half-yearly, and then that benefit was followed up by the promised positive anticipation of dividing 25 per cent per annum in the shape of profit. The company appeared to have had a beard of directors, a secretary, and a superintendent, besides other officers. A number of horses, about 60, were purchased, and stables were secured at Islington, in the neighbourhood of Fleet street, and near the Elephant and Castle. Well, these horses must be fed, and. accordingly, they having been bought on the 6th of January, on the succeeding day the superintendent, Mr. Smythe, bought a quantity of hay, clover, and straw of the plaintiff, at the time of the purchase showing the prospectus to the latter, accompanied with the statement that those (the directors) were responsible men, and for them he was making the purchase. On the following day the plaintiff went to the office and saw the parties, with whom he made an arrangement to furnish the hay, clover, and straw. and to be paid his account for the one month on the Ist of the next. Accordingly, he sent in these articles until they amounted to 57!. 10s., and then, not obtaining payment on the let of March as agreed upon, he commenced the present action. But, observed the Learned Counsel, he should sot merely prove that the defendant had been pre sent at the meetings of the board, but that he had written a letter begging to be put upon the " horse committee," and that he had likewise been a member of what was termed the " executive committee." Moreover, of such importance had the defendant been in the concern that he had actually ob tained permission from his brethren, when it might occur that he was unable to go to the meeting of the board him self, that his brother should attend for and repr«sent him. Then, it had not been an uncommon circumstance for him to put up hie own carriage horses at the stables. and to use in their place the horses belonging to the company. If he proved these things, he felt that he must at once carry a verdict for the plaintiff. • Mr. E. 'l'. Gough was the first witness. He said—l was the secretary to the Parcel Pest Company, and the resident manager. The office Ras 67, Fleet-street. It was conducted by a beard of directors. of where the defendant was one. The others were the Hon. A. F. Berkeley, Mr. Ashley, Mr. Owen, Mr. Amcrum, and Me. Parry. Allof these gent:enien , were in the habit of attcrecteg the meetings, aieueli Mr. Berkeley and the detentlant were soinetime represented by their brothers, who acted for them. The defendant attended himself on several occasions. The company was formed in last October, and the meetings were held constantly from that time to January or February. I resigned my office on the Ist of February, and soon after the company was abandoned or given up. The object of the company was to convey parcels from. one part of the town to another, or within five miles. The capi.al was to have been 30,0001., divided into 6,000 shares, of 5/. each. Mr. Smythe was appointed the superintendent, and his duty was to purchase the horses, to provide the f nd, and what was requisite for them, and, in fact, to attend to that department. The Original resolution of his appointment Thetu produce ori g i original a t l b bock e buu gave but i t a and his duties was written by the chairman and banded to me, tor the purpose of being entered in the minute -book. the defendant's brother, who expressed a wish to look at it. Mr. PASEILEY—We have ' served the defendant with notice Cross-examined— Mr. Baron ALDERaow—Then the question for you now to prove is, whether the d f dthe meeting when e en ant was at Smythe was authorised to make itshnisotrefogrUtthlctontlOin3gl.r. Arthur Hill, ment to the Ist of Februar and then I resigned because I found I was left by the directors, and seeing the necessary I was in th e e th offi es c e o pu fr r o c in has th es e . result—namely, that as they ha not left any money to pay the wages of the different men, I might get into a difficulty —I resigned to protect myself. The number of shares commence actually paid upon was about 400 out of the 6,000. There were applications for as many as 43,000, but only 400 were paid upon. Mr. Baron Aumersox the estimated —That is I suppose difference of value as between possession of and anticipated profits, 400 to 43,000.—(Lau ghter.) Cross-examination resumed —The di rec t o rs were to pay a share deposit of 7s. per h whilstme• üblic were to pay V. 10s. , the per share. There were some however (as the repo rter uu derstood), who we re to , ' pay a deposit of 1!. Mr. Baron Mantas mi ..37 should the directors pay less than the public? That fact shows however, that they knew better the worth of the concern. Was that the reason?—The witness did not k now. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—They did not tell the unha ppy public, I dare say, that the directors were only to pay 75.„ whilst they were to pay 21. 10s. deposit, did they? Vi itness— I presume not. There were ten directors, but they did not all take their shares. The defendant attended the meeting on the 21st of October, and several other times, the last time in February. The executive committee, of which the de fendant was a member, met every day. Parry, Owen, Ashley, Ancrum, directors, always attended, and so did the superhe tendent. There was an instruction given to the superinten dent to buy corn, hay, straw, ft . —c., that was necessary for the horses, by the board on a Friday in January. I heard the order given to the superintendent, in consequence of that person having reported that the party to whom he had are plied for a supply of those articles had come to the office to ascertain if he was authorised to make the purchases. The board directed the superintendent to refer the party to me, and told me to state to him that he was fully authorised by the directors. I cannot swear that the defendant was pre sent at that particular meeting, but there were seven out of the ten directors there. Re-examined—The defendant in a conversation with me said, that as corn was then very dear, he hoped the super intendent was aware that great economy in the feed of the horses would be gained by using beans in its place. The defendant desired me to direct the attention of the super intendent to the subject. occurred"when we were talk ing about the weekly expense per horse of their mainte nance. At that time we had thirty-seven horses, and I have not the least doubt that he was fully aware of the fact, although I cannot undertake to swear that he was. In our calculation we put down the expense of the keep of each horse at 11. per week. A letter was then put in, and read, from the defendant to the witness, dated December 22, 1846, asking him to suggest the benefit that would arise to the company by his (defen dant) being put on the " Horse Committee." Richard H. Smythe (the superintendent) said, that he had received instructions from the board of directors to purchase provender for the horses, and to sell and buy horses. The defendant perfectly well knew what his duty was. He had frequently seen that gentleman at his own private office, at the office of the company, and at the stables of the company, and had frequent conversations with him about the horses, and the nature of their provender. The truth was, that the defendant had known what he was doing all along as he had himself. The letter which had just been read th e d efen d ant had shown to him pr ior to his sending it, at his own office in Soho-square. On the 6th of January he had bought the horses, and o n the next day h e bought two half -loads of plaintiff, and at the same • clover and hay of the p time handed him the prospectus, pointing out the o names of the responsible ties--namely, the directors, w h would be answerable file par any orders he might give. On t e following day the plaintiff ca lled at the office, an d arranged the terms he on which he was to supply the provender, and when was to be p a id . T he h agreement was that he was to paidecash the fi rs t o f each month. The defend ant would of ten come to the stables and take one of the horses for his etting into own use work. . That, how ever , was g prior to the company Crows-examined —He could not swear that the defendant had given him any positive directions to make these pur chases, but he must have been present at some of the meet ings; besides, he had had long conversati ons with him at his office, when he had advised that he should u se beans instead corn.of The board had furnished him with money to buy the horses. That was a c ash transaction, but n ear l y every other matter was still unp The attorney to the plaintiff then produced an affidavit and a paper w hich had been served upon him by th e attorney for the defendant , wherein the latter pleaded , in abatement that he was liable on l y in conjunction with other persons. Mr. Baron Aumtsox—lf he were liable with oth ers, M r . Lush, surely he was liable alone. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff for the amount sought. PREROGATIVE COURT, April 20. (Before Sir H. JENNIR WAXING V. WANING. The I,mirned Jade delivered fiezteuee cam whiob I-1 W ''' was argued last term, and the facts of which have been idly reported. The die2a.sed in the cause was Mrs. Sarah Gibson, who lied in the month of November, 1844, leaving personal property amounting to about 90,e00/., and a freehold es tate valued -at from 3,0001. to 4,0001. By her will a very large benefit was given to Major Waring, who was not a re lation of the deceased ; but she became acquainted with him and other members of his family in consequence of reading in the newspapers that his father had presided over a Bruns wick meeting held in Ireland. It appeared that there had roly been one personal interview between the deceased and %lsjor Waring, when he spent three days by her invitation it her house at Weybridge, Surrey. The will was opposed by Mr. Thomas Waring, the brother of the deceased, and several of her next of kin, on the ground that Mrs. Gibson was of unsound mind at the time she executed it in 1834, and had been so for several years prior to that date. A commission of lunacy was executed in 1841, and the jury found that she had been insane from September, 1838, not therefore including the period during which the will was written. A codicil also was propounded, but it was without date. It must, however, have been written be tween 1836 and 1842, but was unexecuted. Probate of this alktivise was opposed. It merely gave a legacy of 500/. to a godson, who had since died. The Learned Judge examined 'with great minuteness the evidence adduced, both oral and documentary, with the view of showing that the deceased laboured under insane delusions on a variety of points, more especially with reference to parties as , aiming disguise. It was, he said, impossible to read that evidence without coming to the conclusion that the delusions were of a permanent i character. It had been said that they had no bearing on the ' testamentary disposition, but in that view he could not co incide. One of these delusions was, that Mr. Thomas Waring, her brother, had become a Roman Catholic, and that might have influenced the bequest that she bad formerly made to him. Complaints had been made in the course of the argu ment that a knowledge of the existence of the will had been withheld for a considerable period of time from Major War ing, but he (the Learned Judge) considered them groundless. It had also been urged that in the first instance insanity was not set up. The will had not been duly executed, and no thing could be more natural than that in order to avoid ex pense, delay, and litigation. it should be opposed as invalid, by reason oiwant of execution. But the intention to object to it on the ground of insanity bad been communicated to the solicitor of Major Waling at . an early period of the pro ceedings. Several parties had been examined, who deposed, and his doubted not sincerely, to the decease.' always being iu a rational state of mind. Their interviews with her, how ever, were unfrequent and of short duration, nor did it appear that they were aware of any of the delusions under which she laboured. Several letters of the deceased had been pro duced, which were admirably written, and in which she had expressed herself at the commencement with great pro priety, but towards their close her delusions manifested themselves. He could not say that this was a rational act rationally t a h g e ai w ns h t ole th o e f wthiell anal cir cumstances Major Waring , however , who had been a pp ointed dohuee felt; n h d e a an executor under the will, could not do other wise than pre otiEdon to a review pronounce of out of the estate. pound it, and as such the costs of all parties must be decreed THE WEST INDIA MAILS.

Austen, for the Gulf of Mexico, to relie'e the Hermes steamer, Commander W. Carr, the latter ves sel's term of service having expired, being four years in commission. The Vindictive is to leave Port Royal for Bermuda about the 3d of April; the Endymion, for Barbadoes ; the Electra, for Nassau ; and the Thunderer for the Campeachy-bank, surveying. The brig Persian at Bar hadoes March 24; the schooner Viper at Tobago; and the Pickle at Bermuda. The late colonial measures of her Majesty's Govern ment appear to have given general satisfaction through out the West Indies, and the prevailing opinion is that they may now avoid the ruin which has so long threatened the British colonists; they hail the admission of sugar for use in the breweries and distilleries, and that of rum to use in Ireland and Scotland as highly beneficial. The season for taking off the crops had far advanced, and the crops throughout the British West Indies will be larger than they have been since the • mancipation; the whole may be estimated at 150,000 tone, and there will be a great want of shipping to bring it to the market. General attention appeared to be directed to the necessity of sugar factories in all our colonies, which, if carried to any extent, it is supposed that the crops of sugar will be greatly increased. The Haytian republic enjoyed profound tranquillity. The election of President Soulogne appeared to have given general satisfaction, particularly as he had retained ,he popular and able Ministry selected by his predeces sor. The IlayCan Chambers met on the 11th of March, and concurred in the determination expressed by the G mernment to use their utmost exertions to fulfil their engagements to France. The Thames has brought to England from Fayal the crew of the ship Charles, of Stornaway, from Moulmein, abandoned as waterlogged on the 19th of March, taken on board the English barque Auricula, from Val paraiso to Swansea, and landed at Fayal. By the arrival of the Thames we have our usual files of papers, and have selected a few articles of general interest. In Jamaica the House of Assembly had derided in favour of the Income-tax Bill.' There were 16 votes for it, and the same number against it; the Speaker gave his casting vote in its favour,"and it was ordered to be com mitted accordingly. Subscriptions had been entered into and sermons preached in almost every one of the islands in aid of the destitute in Ireland and Scotland, and large sums voted for their relief. 3,800 dollars were subscribed in Trini dad, and 500 dollars by the Governor, to be sent home by the Thames ; and a larger amount is promised by the next ship. A public meeting of the inhabitants of St. Lucia had taken place, and unanimous resolutions passed in favour of a representative form of Government, and a standing committee formed to forward a petition to the Queen, and press for this project. The Trinidad Standard says, we have this month (March) been favoured with most propitious weather for agricultural purposes. The sugar and cocoa plan t er s havebeen well employed, and the crops have proved thus 'ar encouraging. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From De. Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) Unless specifically stated to the contrary, long or duty-paid prices are always given, and are to be considered as whole• sale prices. Our market has been very quiet in consequence of the paucity of arrivals, and the disinclination of the trade to come forward whilst rates rule as high as they do at present. The operations, therefore, have been very limited, whilst stocks are generally only average. We are looking for fur ther supplies, the more anxiously as the quantity of our native ground provisions is evidently decreasing. Should the supplies which it is presumed must be now on their way hither be larger than the demand for consumption, prices must inevitably fall ; at least some very great reductions mustmade to induce the trade to operate with any de gree of freedom. Flour—This article has further advanced, but operations are difficult, and but few parcels have changed hands. 350 brls. Baltimore (the last thence) have been taken at 415., and 234 brls.

A large quantity of Watson's Crackers and Pilot (some 700 barrels) have come in, but it is still unsold. Butter—lrish is held for 12d. to 121 d. per lb., but the latter figure is difficult to be obtained, owing to the interference of American and British American sorts, which are plentiful, and taken, the former at Sd. to Bd., the latter at Bd. to 9d. Inferior American rules very low. Lard—We quote Irish at O l d., and report sales of 63 kegs of Philadelphia at Bd., and 125 kegs of New Orleans (part of the 500 kegs noticed in oar last) at 70.

CONFIRMATION OF THE LOSS OF THE THUNDERBOLT. The Wellesley has" arrived from the Cape of Good Hope, bringing home the late Governor, Sir P. Mait land. The papers front the Cape reach to the 20th February, which confirm the loss of her Majesty's steamer Thunderbolt. Happily, no life was lost. We annex some particulars. As it regards the Kafir war, we regret to say that it is not yet at an end, and fears are entertained by those likely to be well in formed, that some time must elapse before the enemy will be completely conquered. (From the Eastern Province Herald, Cape Town, of Feb. G.) Her Majesty's steamer Thunderbolt, in doubling Cape Receif on Wednesday last, about six r.m., struck on one of the blind rinks which lie out from that point, and so far in jured herself as to render it necessary for the commander to run her on shore as soon as he was able to bring the anchor age. We have tried to ascertain all the particulars of this heavy accident from the proper parties, but have only been able to obtain a very meagre account. The vessel, it would seem, was steeri.ig about east at the time whet she struck nearly midships, not on the keel, but on the lower part of the hold, immediately betbre tile paddles. 'the shock was very great, causing the vessel to lurch over to the other side, in which position she continued until she had completely cleared the rock. When she again reached the deep water, it was tound that a very heavy leak had been caused, and that, filth. ugh her which are of very great power, were immediately worked, it was impossible to keep the leakage under. Gut of distress were theref,re fired during the whole tit-e that the vessel took from Cape Recoif to the anchorage; yet when she less run a.hoie it was found that the leakage had gamed about five feet on the pumps, and that the steamer itself was rapidly sinking. The water indeed had risen so high as to extinguish one of the furnaces, so that lied she had any great distance farther to proceed, she must have been ine . Vitalils - List. She now lies nearly opposite Baken's River, in a situa tion from which it is very doubtful whether she will ever, as a vessel, be removed. Every activity has been exerted to laud the cargo and to remove every heavy body on board. by which sic may be lightened. New pumps have been con structed on shore, and every arrangement made by which a last effort may be made to restore so nohle a steamer to the service, but success is very doubt f u l. It is generally feared that we shall have to record her loss. (From the Cape of G Good Hope eb. 19.) Shipping and Mercantile Gazette of We regret to state that herF Majesty's steamer Thunder bolt has become a total wreck, and that there are little hopes of getting her off. This vessel is so associated with the philanthropic efforts of the British Government in en deavouring to suppress the slave trade, and has rescued so many of our fellow-creatures from a state cf bondage more fearful than death itself, that we cannot restrain the feelings of regret with which we record her untimely end. May Great Britain yet have many of her splendid fleet to devote to this noble work. Since the foregoing was in type, we are glad to find that there is a chance of the preservation of this noble vessel. The Eastern Province Herald of the 13th inst., received by yesterday's mail, contains the following : " During the past week every thing has been done that could be done towards the removal of the Thunderbolt from her present stranded position, but without success. Pumps of sufficient power to reduce the water in her hold have now been constructed, and are at present being worked by such a body of men from her own crew, her Majesty's 90th Foot, and the Swelleadam levies, as that hopes are entertained that it will be possible to reach the leak from the inside, but it is then feared by many that success is as far beyond reach as ever. The stopping of such a leak as that which has been caused in the Thunderbolt from the inside, we believe, has not often been accomplished. Still it may be so far practicable in the present case that the vessel may be put into such a state of tightness as to render it safe to take her round to Simon's Bay, where she could be thoroughly repaired. It has been pretty accurately ascer tained where the leak is; the power of the pumps now at work over the leak is such, that it may in no very consider. able length of time be reduced; and therefore it will now speedily be determined whether she is to be given up entirely ' as lost, or again to be restored to navy service. In the event of her being given up, the loss will be complete, since it would be impossible for parties here to remove her boilers and engines at any reasonable rate." MoraEr Me a/MT.—The premium on gold at Paris is 14 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 1O d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.50 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.60, it follows that gold is 0.39 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By the last advice!' from Hamburgh the price of gold is 431 i per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 10i d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.84; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.7, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent, dearer ' in Ilamburgh than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London is 1041 per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follow that the exchange is 5.08 per cent. against England But the quoted exchange at I\ T ew York being for bill: , at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted frem the above difference. The last quotation at St. Peters burgh of the exchange on London was 380. per silver rouble, at three months' date. According to the usual calculation that 100 sovereigns will yield 60 59-100 gold imperials at St. Petersburgh, the tratismiwion of g.,ld would give an exchange of 38 45-100 d. per silver rouble, and the gross profit on the operation would be about 1* per cent., from which, however, would have to be de ducted the loss of interest and charges of transport. _ AD [ADVE RTISIIMENT.] —ANOTHER CURE OF A n letter from Mrs. Murray, whose husband had been a i , ergeati LEG BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT. —EXtract Oft .. 32 Charles- Scotch Greys, and now is in the Metropolitan I • liav g me of the most s in the , s y tr it e h et, an We a s b t s m ce i s n s st i e n r, t 2 h 4 e th le A g, p l ril,l better I was eminent of the Medical Profession, but getting no been ' affileted furthee eff.rt on left uncured ; indeed, the Sur,,eon said, tha afterwards, my leg was admitted into the Westminster Hospital, appliedB4 6. fur si relief r.- " t i o c 7 s n o useless ; yet, shortly t,, his part was perfectly Sold by all antdanat:ter a lour stay.

Nothing could exceed the brilliancy of her execution throughout, and the finale, " Ati ! non giuuge," was a perfect marvel of fioriture. In the case of a less tasteful singer, we should have said that the music was rather overloaded with ornament ; but we cannot say this with Madame Persiani, for the ornaments were in troduced with .such taste, and she exhibited such a perfect mastery over her flutelike and flexible voice, that no one who heard her sing last night (albeit, like ourselves, they might retain a vivid recollection of poor Malibran in the part) would wish her to sing it otherwi s e than she did sing it. The habitues of the oper a are familiar wit h the Elvin() of Mario. He gave it last night according to his wont, singing the music deliciously, but s.omewhad t wantingwa in einvteern,saintyeaxsceapntaiacato;r.it Twhase P ot as o u n 1 1 i y exquisitely gua sung, but feelingly acted, and consequently was honoured with an encore. The "Ah tuo perche" which immedi ately follows, was also well given. Tamburini, in Ilodolpho, although very fine, was not the Tamburini of four years since. It is painfully manifest that his voice is failing, both in its upper and its lower notes. Still the Vi Raviso was beautifully given, and it was impossible not to admire the artiate like science with which he end'-avoured to remedy the physical defects of his voice. It more than ever entitles him to rank as the Rubmi of baritones. The opera was followed by a new ballet, entitled La Reine des 1 ies, in which Wine. Thimilatre and Al. Petipa appeared for the first time at this theatre. Aete Dumilatre is a very pleasing dans use. She never astonishes, but sbe. always pleases ; and if not a DeesEe, she is . at les,at h a.
