This lady had the foll Owing letter Inserted in the "Times" news . Paper on Ang. 7, 1846. 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, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly Wanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Ilerbary, 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 more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11s. 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 perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact:.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops 'Oa the - crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from corning away with the comb, make It strong, and nrevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the bah brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the smost aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops is the crown of the heal ; if v ry bad; repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' eads, it has such a peculiar coolin,; influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials.

(From the Times.) We" have received, by extraordinary express from Marseilles, our dispatches in anticipation of the I3ombay mails to the 15th of ,March, a brief sum mary of which appeared in our Wednesday's im• preasion. From the Punjaub we learn that details of the con spiracy against Tej Singh and others of the chiefs were every day coming to light. 'The religious enthusiasts of Lahore, called the Akbalees, are at the bottom of th e w h o l e, and it will r e q uire the utmost caution on th e p ar t o f the Lahore Govern m ent to prevent the assassinationof some of its leaders. The mode in which all disititiafaction is shOwn in the Punjaub is by mutilation and murder. We may ex ' pect to hear of such atrocities within a short time. The British officers are_on the alert - to prevent them, but the enthusiasts are only waiting their oppor tunity. The death of the notorious Akbar Khan, the son and Wuzeer of Dost Mahotned, of Caubul, is an nounced, hut it requires to be c oued. The cause is said to be delirium tremens—a fit death for such a character. There appear to be intrigues at work at Candahar and Caubul. Persia is said to be the agent of a great European Power in all these intrigues. The British agent sent into Caubul some time back, to recover the prisoners left behind after the retreat from Caubul, has returned; ,he arrived at Lahore with the rescued captives, among whom is a European boy, whom Colonel Lawrence has under taken to protect. In Sinde tranquillity prevails ; the hot weather was beginning, yet there was no remarkable sickness. Sir C. Napier had returned to Kurrachee ; he had visited the plains of Meeanee and Dubba, as if, as some maintained, in anticipation of his retirement from Sinde. His enemies are not 'idle in their old trade of misrepresenting all his actions. The Governor-General was at Hurdwar on the 10th of February, and the Commander-in. Chief had left Kalka on the 7th. Both those noblemen were preparing to go to Simla, to pass the hot months at that pleasant station. The Nizam's dominions present the same picture of a dilapidated treasury and a miserable people. All sorts of outrages are perpetrated. The present Government of these fine districts of the Deccan is impotent for producing any good ; and some altera tion must speedily be effected to relieve the wretched inhabitants. The arrival at Calcutta of the 252 guns from Lahore took place in the beginning of February, and was the occasion of much rejoicing in that capital. In Bombay there was much discussion respecting the decisions of the Judges of the Supreme Court in the case of the demurrer against the proceed ings of the plaintiff in the celebrated opium ac tions. The Chief Justice gave judgment in favour of the demurrer ; while the Puisne Judge, in a clear and well-reasoned discourse, gave a contrary opinion. Both these judgments have been pub lished, and will be found worthy the attention of those who seek to understand the nature of Indian time-bargains. An appeal, on behalf of the plain tiff, has been sent home against the decision of the new Chief Justice of Bombay. The matter is of great interest to tliat Presidency, for, if the demurrer be 'established, 'it will be difficult to make the native dealers adhere to any pro 7 spective contracts, or promises to take goods at a future day, 1 4 t il Her Majesty's rah Regiment left Bombay on the h `of March on board Aha -barques John Bremer and Ann. Lieutenant-Gener a l Sir Thomas M`Mah9n) Bart., as C ommander-in-Chief by quitted Bomb a y on t h e 15th of March. li e was suc ceeded Majo- General Morse, until th e arrival of Sir Willough b y C o tt on , who was e x p ected to arrive from Eng l an d i n t h e beginning of April. (From the Bombay Times.) Another f ortn i ght of almost newsless tranquillity has passed over us, and the peace policy of the pre tent Governor-General, which leaves little to record and nothing to criticise, continues to be the bane of journalists. The current of events in the Punjaub continues to run on as smoothly as if it had flowed undisturbed in the same channel for centuries. Festivities and gaieties seem to have taken the place of intrigues and murder, and no portents are now discoverable calculated to occasion alarm. The troubles in the liazareh country have been subdued, and Lieutenant Lumsden is loud in the praise of his Seik h The messenger sent into Affghanistan in quest of the captives left behind in our retreat in 1842 has re turned with those he has been enabled to release. They consist el , fly of the children of our Sepoys or servants of the officers. He received every assi: tence in their recovery that could have been desired from the Ameer of Caubul. Akbar Khan is dead. From the time we discovered the Sirdar to be our enemy, when we ex petted him to have acted as the mediator betwixt the beleagured garrison of Caubul arid the insurgent Ghilzies, he has been the object of unremitting obloquy and slander. Grievously as he has been misrepresented, there seems to have been mach in his character adverse to the peace of the state and the harmony of his father's house. His removal relieves us of the awkwardness of forfeiting our pledge by declining to recognise him on his succession to the throne, or, by keeping it, admitting to terms the destroyer of a British Envoy. Throughout Affghanistan the usual course of turbulence and disorder appears to prevail The Governor-General continues in the north west provinces. No credence is given here to the reports of his removal to be found in the English papers. We knovi how cordially his measures haveteien commended both in Lcadenhall-street and Cannon-row, and we think it unlikely that any Administration will dare to inter rupt a course of policy so auapiciously begun, so long as Its author is willing to undertake its guidance. Discontent continues throughout the Nizam's domi nions, and disturbances in the Gumsoor country. Sinde is quiet and healthy. Sir C. Napier has returned to Kurrachee and Hyderabad. A complimentary order to General Hunter had been issued by him on the retire ment of the worthy veteran from the country. The 3d Light Cavalry, supposed to have fallen under been ertheGo Gover nor's displeasure in consequence of their h av i ng per mitted highly • ikh guns, 252 in number, capt ure d i n the late aomTphleha s the ee nt ß e o d o i g a h o ti r e d s er to . escape them, h s campaign, have reached Calcutta. The cost of their conveyage from the Sutlej to the Hooghly is estimated at 25,0001. Sir Thomas INl'Mahon, Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay army, leaves us by this day's steamer, amidst the general good wishes of the community. Having declined to accept of a gift on his departure, a bracelet, and distressed of the value of nearly 2,0001., has been bestowed o n L a d y M'Mahon.

A sum At more than equal to the valne of the policies is invested in the public securities, in the names o the trustees, so as to Le at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Polleies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. was added to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the , participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 100/. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

Mules of No. 20, us also in water of 20 and 30, are readily saleable; other counts continue nearly in the same state as before reported, and those that are packed in 20016. bales are readily saleable at our quota tions. A larger amount of business has been done than what we reported in our last fur the Later halt of the last month. llyed—A very good demand has sprung up, and from the following list of sales it will be observed that as much as 12 annas per lb. have been obtained for No. 40 in bundles of 711 b. Turkey Red—The inquiry is only confined to best quality. We quote as before lr. and 7a. to Ir. and 12a. per lb. The sales of Mule, water and orange, that have come to our knowledge since the second instant, are the following:- 800 bales mule, No. 20, at 61; 30s at 71; 40s at 8 and 81; 50s at 91 and 91; 60s at 10 annas per lb. 30 bales water 20s at 74 ; 8 bales water 36s at 9i annas per lb.

Metals—English iron continues in demand, but no further improvement has taken place in prices. A sale of 450 candies, of a common assortment, has been reported at 33 rupees. Swedish bars—On the departure of the last mail a isle of 200 candies of unsuitable assortment wai effected at 48k rupees, and since two sales of very good assort ment, chiefly consisting of square bars, have been effected, one of 150 candies at 52 rup.Ts, the other of 300 candies at 50 rupees per candy. In other irons, 110 alteration worthy of notice, excepting in sheets and hoops, on which a decline of one quarter to one-half rupee has taken place. Copper continues in demand. The stock in the first hand is none, and that of the bazaars is very moderate. We therefore expect our present quotations will be maintained for some time to come. Spelter—A speculative inquiry is going on from the European houses, in consequence of its having risen con siderably in England, and therefore 121 to 12:1. rupees are asked by the bazaar dealers, for a small quantity they hold of their former purchases. The following are the sales of metals that have boen made since the 2d instant:- 450 Candies of English bar iron at 33 rupees. 150 do.

Cochineal continues scarce, and only a small quantity has been imported, of which 1,5001 b. have been sold at 4 rupees and 12 annas per lb. Saffron—We have heard of no sales. We quote at 8 rupees to 18 per lb. Beer—The celebrated brewers, Allsops, have become in high favour, and we have heard of sales to the extent of 300 hogsheads being made at 75r. per hogshead of the last October brew, which are expected to arrive here in the month of April next. In Bass we have heard of sales to the extent of 150 hogsheads at 45r. of the old brew. Of last October brew with their brand we have heard of no sales. Spirits—We have heard of the following sales:- 41 hogsheads brandy at 3r. per gallon. 10 do. brown and pale, at 3r. 2is. 45 do. gin, coloured, at lr. Ba. Cotton—Prices on new have advanced a little, owing to the demand for the China market. 90r. have been paid for new Oomrawooty, and 100 and 102 are asked for Broach and Jumbooser ; the former are arrivin g i n l arge quant i t i es , an d the atter will begin to arrive here at the end of the present or beginning of next month. New Dhollerah has also been imported, but as yet in small quantities. Of the old crop there is a large stock on the green, and a decline has taken place, and a further decline is anticipated.

Since our last, three vessels have engaged their cargo both for London and Liverpool, at 6/. 155., and within the last few days ton nage has become again scarce, and 61. 17s. 6d. has been paid for the latter port. To China it has receded, owing to many large country vessels being put on the berth, and we have heard of an engagement done at 22r. per candy, which are our quo tations of the day. - EXCHANGE. It has risen, and purchases for the mails have been effected at 2s. Old. for bills from China, and at 2s. Old. to 2s. Old. for local ones at six months' sight.

MARCH 15, Two o'CLocK. s Since morning a great demand has arisen for bills on England, and the rate has fallen to 2s. Old. and 2s. Old., at which several transactions have been effected. This demand is attributed to the reduction to Is. 10d., which took place in the bills of the Hon. Company on India, of which a large quantity has come by the mail of Saturday last. The rate for Government bills on Bengal has also re ceded, and is now not higher than 981 for sixty days' sight. CALCUTTA. (From the Calcutta Overland Paice Current.) March B—The Government express of the mail, via Bombay, came to hand on the 23d ult , and put us in pos session of London dates to January 7 ; as, however, business had only recommenced a day or two previous to the dispatch of the mail, the commercial intelligence was not of much importance, except as confirming that brought by the Bentinck. In this market we have but little change to notice, but if anything there has been rather more doing in produce, and even less in imports. the former being induced by the continuance of their advances by Go vernment at the rate of 2 3 . per rupee, and the comparative low prices which the large stocks pt, and th e l a t ter b have compelled holders to acce y the continued scarcity of money, the almost entire cessation of purchases throughout the past week in consequence of the Hindoo festival of the Dole Jattra, and also in a great measure by the accounts received of the high prices ruling at home, inducing holders here in most instances to refrain from offering their goods at the rates now obtainable. Oar exchange on England has continued to advance very gradually, 2s. 1-id. to 2s. 11d. being about the rats current for good 10 months' date paper, notwithstanding the rumours which have lately been current as to Go vernment being about to raise their rate, if not to close the warehouse altogether; the former has, however, now been so long delayed, that it does not appear likely that any change will be made until the entire amount ,:f 8,000,000 Company's rupees advertised fur Las been drawn out, which, however, it most probably will be be ' fore our next issue, about 3,000,000 havliK been taken within the past 20 days, and the total amount advanced here being already between 5,000,000 and 5,500,000, ex • elusive of Madras and Bombay. Previous to the receipt of the mail on the 23,1 ul'., freights had rather a downward tendency, but the brb.k demand subsequently experienced for tonnage to Great Britain has again caused a steady advance, 6/. 15s. to 71. 15s. being the rates now current for dead weight. We have but little change to report in the position of our money market, which continues tight, with no im mediate prospect of relaxation, and Government securi ties and Bank Stock have in consequence declined in value very materially, there being but little dispositb n manifested to invest in them even at the comparatively low rates•now current. Indigo—Since we last had this pleasure, business has been interrupted by a succession of holidays, in conse quence of which only three public sales were held from the I"th to the end of February, and one large one since; at which, however, every chest found purchasers at former rates. The season is now speedily coming to a close, the greater portion of the indigo remaining, being out of the market, having been either sold some time since, or being about to be shipped on planters' account; of the fcrmer about 2,000 chests purchased at the sales held in the bonded warehouse will most probably go forward in the course of the week; and the portion which remains to be disposed of will also, we think, soon find purchasers, parties being anxious to take advantage of the favourable rate at which they can now get their advances from Go vernment. .- The following statement shows the number of chests which have actually gone forward this season (from Ist of November, 1846, to 7th of March, 1847), that is to say, the quantity on board vessels which have actually cleared out for the various ports up to this date, and ex clusive of that laden on vessels which have not as yet applied for clearance:— London Chests. ... ]0,847 Liverpool . • ..• 513 Hamburgh 86 Havre Bordeaux „•3,837 Boston ••• ..• • 1,056 ••• ••• •• ••• .598 Red Sea, Bombay, and Gulf ... 372 but, taking into consider a ti on th e pauc i ty of orders from foreign parts, we should be disposed to think that at the close of the season exports will stand as follow, viz.:— To England „ the Continent „ North America Up to date they are as follows, viz.:— Chests.

Stocks have of course been considerably reduced, but still appear amply sufficient to meet the probable demand until the new crop commences to arrive. iihatir and all low sugars continue to be taken for local refinement at compara tively high prices, Exports to Great Britain from the Ist instant up to date amount to 7,075 inaunth. Saltpetre—Notwithstanding the excessive rates now demanded for tonnage a moderate business has been done in this staple for the English market, and the de mand being almost exclusively for fine qualities, which are comparatively scarce, these have maintained their present value; of low and middling Chuprah, however, the stock is extremely heavy, and th,ro being scarcely anything doing for America at present prices are still looking down. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date have ben as follow, viz To Great Britain... France 903 „ North America Rice—The paucity of tonnage continues the only ap parent restriction on operations in this staple for the English markets, which have nevertheless been rather extensive, as will be seen by our exports; it is reported that several parties have been purchasing largely with the intention of holding until it can be sent forward at more moderate rates, but this scarcely seems probable, the immense supply at market, and in the interior, ren dering it impossible to calculate on any dicided advance being established for some time to come; our present quotations will be found much the same as on the 18th; ranging from lr. 12a. to lr. 14a. for discoloured and mixed, to 2r. to 2r. 2a. for middling to good table, and 2r. 4s. to 2r. 61. for very superior. For Mauritius a large business has hitherto been doing, but it seem.: pro bable that this will shortly be checked by vessels being taken from that trade to send home.

France Mauritius Bourbon ... 31,846 maunda ... 9,440 „ ... 3,000 „ Raw Silk—The somewhat improved inquiry for this staple, 113 noticed in our last, has continued, more espe cially for Cossimbazar, Hurrypaul, and Radnagore, of the November bund; and the supply of these descrip tions being. moderate, previous rates have been main tained. The holders of Baulsah, finding it almost impossible to get an offer for the English market, were compelled to accept 6r. to 6r.

Exports from Ist instant up to date have been as follow, viz.:— To Great Britain France _ North America ... 0 Silk Piece Goods—Really fine torahs have been in good demand at full prices, say 125 r. to 130 r. per corge, but of these the supply has been very moderate, whilst of low and middling goods, which are in limited inquiry, and obtainable at comparatively low rates, the stock is heavy.

Mule Twist—About the beginning of the past month, on receipt of the adviccs of the great advance in the Home market, a speculative demand sprang up, and large quantities changed hands at an advance of 2 to 4 pie per morals ; this, however, did not last, and dealers not being disposed to operate on the same terms, and holders being firm, the reported sales show a correspon ding falling off with those of piece goods.

We have very little change to notice in the position of our money market since the 18th ult., but if anything the tightness then noticed has increased, and as this has been the case in the face of the unusually heavy advances made by Government within the past month, the prospect for the future appears far from encou raging. Government Securities have fluctuated in va'ue very considerably ; up to the end of the last month ho!ders were firm at the rate quoted in vur last, but have since been giving way, and realising at our quota tiors, whilst even these are obtained with difficulty, and e have heard of operations on less favourable terms to the seller. In Bank Stock also but few transactions have transpired, there being at present but little dis position manifested to invest. CURRENT VALUE Or GONERNMENT SECURITIES, BANE Rs. a. Rs. a.

For a few days previous to the receipt of the mail on the 231 ult., the business in produce having slackened, there was less inquiry fur tonnage, and some parties anxious to complete their cargo gave orders fur rice as low as 61. 103. per ton ; subsequently, however, when it was found that the favourable advices brought by the llentinek a ere fully confirmed, a decided advance took place, the rate for rice rapidly advancing from 61.1.55. to 7/. 10s. to 71. 155., at which it has of late been steady, with sugar at 71. saltpetre at 61. 151., and indigo and silk at 71. 7s. to 71. 15s. ; there being but little difference between London and Liverpool, except for the latter (indigo and silk), which may be quoted about ss. to 7s. 61 lower for Liverpool. For most other staples the rates are in a measure no minal, and far too unsettled for us to give quotations with any degree of confidence. In the rates for Mauritius we have not heard of any I alteration as yet, shipping orders for rice staving been obtained at 2r. 2a. per bag ; but can scarcely think it pw,sible this can last, as vessels will doubtless be taken from that trade and put on for England, should present rates be maintained, as appears probable when the amount of tonnage to arrive is compared with what will be required both here and at Bombay during the next three or four months ; but more especially at the latter port, where the limited number of vessela has already caused a considerable advance, although the new cotton had not commenced to arrive. CHINA. (From the Herald.) HONG-KONG, MARCH I.—A dreadful tragedy occurred on the evening of the 6th ult., in Chiramo Bay, a small opium station near . Amoy, the recrivin two vessels, Omega and Caroline, having been b oarded by Chinese pirates, who murdered the captains, officers, and part of the crews of bath ships, and carried off an immense booty. The circumstances are as follow Three days before the catastrophe, two boats, of a different rig from those generally seen in that neigh bourhood, entered the bay; as they were rather suspi cious loAin, Captain Macfarlane, of the Omega, sent his serang (native boatswain) on board of them, to ascertain what they wanted. They said they were salt dealers from Hong-Kong. Both boats were heavily armed for their size, as, besides ginjalls and other Chinese weapons, one carried five, end the other six, guns, but apparently without more than sufficient hands to work the boats. The serang wished to look down into the hold, but was not permitted to do so. The gunner was afterwards sent, with orders to bring one of the Chinamen on board the Oineaa; but they all re fused to accompany him, but said that if it continued calm they would come next day and buy opium. Two boats sent from the Caroline received no more satisfac tory answer. In the morning the two boats left the bay, returning to their anchorage in the evening, and this they repeated the following day. On the 6th, however, as they were sailing back they laid them selves one on each side of the Omega, and threw fire balls on tke deck. One boarded while the other pro a s if l ,e ) h . rienr schooners a soto s a h nn o eer r es t , c,?eded rceed to o tf r, w o s i r ai d an s rde t t h bc e ,eoel C ,n a pe r ol o is l ts i i e r r i s t e , i y i o " n 'il o i fehhe unpreparedv'r.. distance as none of their guns were loaded. The Lascars who were on the deck of the Omega either jumped or were thrown overboard, having barely time to give the alarm to their comrades below, too late, however, for them to offer any resistanu, as the pirates battened down the hatches upon them. The officers rushed out of the cabin, but, with the exception of the mate, who must have been immediately killed, ran down again for arms. The captain and gunner, with their servants and two native steersmen or scacunnies, took refuge in the after cabin, where, though the two former were severely wounded, they defended themselves for hr Borneo thrown in " down, till the skylight was taken off and fireballs es went out through The last seen of the captain the quarter galleries. upon which the gunner and servants returned to the fore-cabin, and the se acunni the ' long-boat to come alongs▪ de ; but she had been Iva.; that he opened t he stern windows and called for i previously cut adrift by the pirates, with a China girl and several of the Lascars, who fortunately reached the shore in safety.

The men were sent below for arms, and in the mea n ti me t h e p i rates pnlled alongside. Tne'cap tain, instead of attempting a defence, ordered the gig and jollyboats to be lowered fur the purpose of making his escape, but the one was swamped and the other smashed betwixt the pirate boat and the schooner. The captain, two mates, and nine lascars, then leaped over- - board, and were probably either drowned or killed in attempting to regan the vessel by the chains. Captain Chamberlain's body was afterwards picked up on the beach, at Chimmo. A seacuany advised them against jumping into the sea, and induced one of his comrades to r, twin. They took to the riggidg, and were saved. Whcn all the treasure and by far the greater part of the opium had been removed into the pirate boats, the crew of the Omega succeed,al in breaking through the bulkheads into the cabin, from which they drove the pirates. This alarmed those, above, and the whole retreated to their boats, crying that the Malays were upon them. They then sounded a , gon, e• which seemed to have been a preconcerted sig nal, as their comrades, who were rifling the Caroline, hurried into their boat and immediately made sail. When the Lascars reached the deck of the Omega, tINIT" found all the guns spiked, with the exception of. one, which was slung ready for removal 2'bis they ?graded 4d.''-- , —.._ c __ s we I
