At each of the three Septennial divisions which this Company has made, the Bonuses amounted to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sum assured, or about 27 per cent. on the amount of premium received ; and the whole amount of Reversionary Bonus allotted by the Com- Pliny exceeded 530,0001. Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro- Tided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have attained in each case a value not under 591. In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared en the 3th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1845, and the same Is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted), between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and lalso by the Agents in the Country Districts. !Notice is hereby gives, tHat Assurances which expire , at Ckrist ntal-daY must be reaewed within fifteen days at this Offiee, or with gr._Sams.

A now year's gift I'm ask'd to choose, A thing I never can refuse ; And as the choice is left to me, I'll fix on what it is to be. They've offered me a rocking-horse, But that will never do, of course. I've something better in my eye, Which Messrs. MOSES oan supply. The Braided Suits, at MOSES' Mart, Will make me look so very smart, That I have only one desire, A suit of juvenile attire. 'Tis MOSES' Mart, where Master Tom Gets all his genteel dresses flora ; And Dick, and Will, tern up their noses, At any but the dress of MOSES. In fact, my sehool-mates, very one, Boast about MOSIIS and his SON. The choice I make, then, in my heart Is this—a Suit from MOSES' Mart; And none can readily despise, A wish so good —a choice so wise. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

On the Bth .the transmitted a Message to both Houses. It ike-a; voluminous document than has been on suNzk • dons. It is principally o•Jeupied, however, with amitqwi t ts'AlT w of the Mexican war. I shall not attempt a review of it, although a reference may be made to,sorrteof its details. • The business of the session was immediately cora mewed, Among other propositions, Mr. Dal is, of Kentucky., offered a resolution calling upon the Ik'resi dow f or information, which, by a standing rule of the House, must _lie one day on the table. On the 10th Mr. ..) Davis offered a :übstitute fir his own resolution, in the eParteesitdoent thiso f u th o e us U e n c i o t p e i d es S o t f at al following words "Resolved,—That sqle be requested to commun . .' orders or instructions to General Taylor, General Wool, General Kearney, G ai _nta , i3 Sloat, or Captain Stockton, touching the establisi2ment of civil govern ment in any portion of Mexico have or may be held by the army or navy of the United States ; also copies of all instruments, or for is of govern ment, proclamations, or other papers that may have been established, organized, uttered, and puli , li,shed by the:said officers, or either of them; also that the Presi- • dent inform this House whether he has approved awl re cognised any governments so established, and all* the • actings and doings of the officer establishing it :+e- lating thereto; that he further inform this House whether any such government has, in whole or in par::„ been established within the limits of the state of Texas; that the President also inform the House whether he intends to prosecute the existing war with Mexico for the permanent conquest and acquisigon of New Mexico, Chihuahua, New Leon, Tamaulipas% San Luis Potosi, or any other of the Mexican states; and for what special objects he intends to ;prosecute said wal . : and that the President communicate such parts of the information Lere'n asked of him as he shall deem expedient to this House with closed doors." • On this resolution an animated and somewhat exciting debate ensued, which was continued until the hoar of adjournment, when the House adjourned until MoneloY, the 14th, without taking the question. It is probatO this subject will not be finally disposed of until the close of the week; and when it is, the 'party drill will be called'. into operation. So powerful is the4drninistration party in the House, that all attempts.trtilensue the Executive will be defeated; and if the President wishes I to sup preks any part of the information called for, he will be sustained by the majority, and his wishes gi.atified. . By referring to my letter of the 27th ult., you will discover that my anticipations in several inswnces were about to be realised; that is to say, the special clause in the Sub- Treasury Bill is not to Le repealed or suspended. Tea and coffee, according to the recommendation of the Treasury department, is to be subj,eted to a duty, wile other articles, now free, are to be fax, d" PRICE SD. The late Ljan of the United Srate;, which was taker. principally at par, alai the balai.ce at above par, sokt this day at 4 per cent. below par. The secretary an nounces that a loan of 23,000,000 dolls., in addition to the revenue under the new tariff and that recommended in his late report, will be all ;,he Government will require until Jane, 1848. Oat char financiers consider this esti mate from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 dolls. below the actual wants of the Government. The additional volunteers (stv: nine regiments) ordered to he mustered into tb. Unit. d service, and re ferred to in my last letter, are actively preparin g , some of them having already sailed. About ten days since General;Scott, with his suite, t. - .olc his departure from this city for .!.`eliv Orleans, en route for Mexico. It is generally believed that he pro ceeds to Tampico, where he will concentrate a strong force, ano, having made the necessary arrangements for attacking Vera Cruz, he will assault it by land and sea. The.friends of the Administrat'on speak with entire con fidence that it must fall before the Ist of May. The President,' in his Message, referring to the oppo sition made f, to ,_ &cc .. ,- ) . Y ay ki s gtl} , — s „a their moreA effectual means could not have been devised to encou- - rage the enemy.and prutraot the war than to advocate and adhere to their cause, and thus give them aid and comfort.' " This is the language of the constitution, defining the crime of t reason ; an d thus it is thr.t. the President . brands as t ra it ors a l arge proportion of Xroft mean treemen. who dare to think and speak as becomes treement It is not unworthy of remark that Mr. Van Buren was rejected by the Senate of the United States as Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain for an offence some what similar to Mr. Polk's, but less censurable ; and how was Mr. Van Thiren rejected? It was by the cast ing vote of Mr. Calhoun, then President of the Senate. How will Mr. Calhoun now act? He is a member of that honourable body. Will he sustain the President in his sweeping denunciation of a large portion of his fel low-citizens as traitors, because they will not justify this unnecessary and improvident war with Mexico? I for bear expressing any opinion on this interesting point— we are changeable mortals. Great expectations are formed by Government finan ciers as to the amount of specie that the balance of trade will cause to be shipped from Great Britain to this country. By some it is estimated at millions of pounds sterling. Through this channel it is expected that the drain of specie required for carrying on the Mexican war will be furnished. These visionary anticipations may be realised; but I am an unbeliever. A religious meeting of Germaits was held at the ta bernacle, in this city, on the 13th. It consisted of a body of about 200 German Catholics, who resolved on • a formal secession from the Roman Church. Th 6 siosapaent,appeara _to be' something to that of Man Ronge and his adherents in Germany., These seceders, one of whom was a Catholic priest, have been in the habit for some time past of holding meetings, for the purpose of studying the - Bible. It is said they have had no Protestant among them. They profess to believe that a Catholic Church was established by Christ and his apostles, and that some had superadded to that Church some things not only unauthorised, but for bidden by the primitive institution. Their plan, it is understood, is reformation back to the true primitive Church, not Protestantism, nor union with any Protes tant sect. This, however, is but their first movement in public. Our Canal and North River Navigation is closed. This will not, to any great extent, affect the value of flour and other produce in this city. It is now in a firm market, at 5 dolls. 25c. per barrel.

O of Board of o o ff Health mEttrNseAisooaddo thep adopted the otahreaoretisooo - of vessels of every description ; and passengers from the Black Sea, and Ottoman ports, to seventy-two hours, when the duration of the voyage shall not have occupied less than twelve days, when less than twelve, the qua rantine will be increased as many more days as are re quired to complete the twelve days. Whilst this measure will benefit very materially the French steamers running between Constantinople and Marseilles, made, as it ap pears, purposely for them, since they occupy just twelve days in the voyage, including stoppages at the interme diate ports, it will, by securing them all the passengers, materially affect the English, Peninsular, and Oriental Company's steamers between the Black Sea, Constanti nople, and Malta; for as these reach Malta in five days from Constantinople, it follows that their passengers will have to perform seven days in the Malta Lazaretto, or four days more than a passenger leaving at the same time will be subject to in the Marseilles Lazaretto. We hope to see the Peninsular and Oriental Company esta • blish a branch line between Malta and Marseilles. The following is the official notice of the periods of quaran tine to be ordered at Malta under these new regulathns. The Table of Periods of Quarantine in observance at the Lazaretto of Malta, as established by the Board of Health for Arrivals from the Levant, and from various ports in Barbary. A bill of health shall be considered as foul when the country from which a vessel arrives is actually infected with plague ; it shall be considered as suspected after the expiration of forty-one days from the last case of plague ; and clean after the expiration of one year and one day from the last case of plague. Bills of health of vesse!a,,, arriving front Egypt and Syria are never to be considered clean. Form BILL OF HEALTH.—For merchant vessels and goods, 21 days after the unloading of susceptible articles ; for steam vessels, 19 days after the landing of passen gers and their effects in the Lazaretto ; for ships of war, 17 days after the landing of passengers and their effects in the Lazaretto ; for passengers arriving either in steam vessels, ships of war, or merchant vessels ad mitted in the Lazaretto 17 days after exposing their effects to ventilation ; for vessels carrying pilgrims, 25 days ; for pilgrims, 25 days after being landed, and their effects placed in depuration in the Lazaretto. SusencTED.BILL OF HEALTH.—For merchant vessels and goods, 15 days after the unloading of susceptible articles ; for steam-vessels and ships of war, 12 days after the landing of passengers and effects in the Laza retto ; for passengers landing from steam vessels, ships of war, or merchant vessels, 12 days in the Lazaretto, after exposing their effects to ventilation ; for vessels carrying pilgrims, 20 days ; for pilgiims, 20 days after their effects being placed in depuraetoo. CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.—For merchant vessels and goods 12 days after the unloading of . susceptible articles; for steam vessels, ships of war, and s passengers admitted in the Lazaretto, 9 days after their effects being exposed to ventilation.

P ANCRAS Within the last few days a rumour of a set ions character ha's obtained extensive circulation in the parish of St. Pan cras, concerning the death of Rose tti a Brown, aged 20, late in the service of Mr. Jenkins, s urveyor, of Hunt ley-street, Tottenham-court-road, eint I which has given rise to a belief that instead of having: .committed suicide, as she was supposed to have done, al is was murdered. The inquest on Rosetta Brown was field by Mr. Mills on the 23rd ult. The evidence wer it to show, that al- though betrothed to one young m an., she was in love with another man, when she eonsent e d a d ay or two pre vious to her death, to have the banr is between herself and her betrothed put up in Paddit igt on church. Th, other person was a lodger in the h our se where Rosetta Brown was in service, and about five o' clock in the after noon of the day in which she put up, , the banns of mar r:age she was discovered in Mr. Jenitint 's coal cellar with her throat cut from ear to ear and a. ca rving knife lying near to her. There was no medical ma ,n examined as to the nature of the wound, and some fri et ids of the deceased charged the suspected party with be'in g the cause of her death, and were about to give evil en ce in reference to her alleged seduction, but the deputy-i 3oronor would not allow them to proceed, alleging, as his reason, if they al lowed private character to be assail ed in that court, they might " sit there till doomsday." A long alterca tion subsequently ensued, and ultimately, a verdict was returned, to that effect, " That4lecesta 3d destroyed her self, but what.was her state of mind ~.at the time th ere was not sufficient evidence to prove." The friends of the deceased, at the time, loudly expres sed their dissatis faction, and subsequently had the boi ly examined by a surgeon, who, it is stated, declares that the deceased's throat was cut in such a way that i:t was impossible she could have done the act herself. t Mace the occurrence, the suspected party has disappeared, and it is alleged that he has become a lunatic, and is one hundred miles off in an asylum. The affair is about .to undergo a rigid examination. GEORGE FREDERICK COOKE'S WATCH.--A DELr- CATE COMPLIMENT.—It is known that the widow and step-daughter of the great tragedian Cooke, are living, respected citizens of St. Louis—the latter, married to a gentleman universally esteemed for his social qualities and business intelligence. The admiration of the elder Kean for the genius of Cooke, and his monument,,,i tribute over his remains in St. Paul's church New York, will be also remembered; as well no, that Charles Kean, even now, is having this mow, ,rent re newed. The widow and other co nnexio parted actor, on Mr. Kean's arrival at of the de Louis, signi fied their desire that he should b , ecor. rjo . of their celebrated relative's watc)-_,; and, accordingly, the day before yesterday, it was ihe depository presented to him.

DINNER TO THE WORKMEN. (enom sun OWN REPORTER.) Last evening---" new year's eve,"—an entertainment, consisting of a dinner of plain but generous fare was given by the directors of this company to all the work men whose respective avocations would allow them to partake of it, and a bonne .of a day's pay was given to those who were unable to ettend,—a generous, hearty arrangement, and one which we venture to predict will not only go far to - promote good feeling amongst all employed in the servic e of this company, whose progress we are happy to chronicle, but will be an inducement to its servants, to leave nothing undone which may promote . ee prosperlty 7 -which may place it in a rank with other lines possessing greater means, and, consequently, more', appliances; and which will, therefore, increase: its , fraffie, and thereby the means by which they lire. The dinner took place shortly after five o'cloe in the workshops at Stratford, in a building 270 fee; loug and 70 broad, which was tastefully decorated with 'evergreens, chandeliers, flags and banners, end eniblmes in gas. The meat prominent of which were, "G. IL," ;George Hudson, Esq.,) and D. W., (D. Waddivtee, Esq.,) the Deputy Chair man of the company. At 'the upper end of the building -a raised plateirrn had Smell ; erected, at which the majority of the trucaei ecCupietraeats, for the enter tainment was not witiseet ix, t Visitors.

They were indeed loud and prolonged.) Mr. Bruton favoured the company with a -song, varY complimentary to the Chairman, toed to locomotion in general. , The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The Railway interest, and its great architect, George Stephenson." After al luding to the great advantages which the invention of railways had conferred upon the peosee of this country, he went on to relate an anecdote of the subject of the toast. He said he had the pleasure of dining with Mr. Stephenson in Newcastle some time age. He referred to the construction of his first loconiottee, now 40 y.'eri ago, when it was stigmatised as a whimsical schema, lie stated, in addition, that he never felt greater clifficStltY than when stating, in the witness box, that - the engine would go at the rate of ten miles an hour ; but instead of ten miles an hour; fifty or sixty were easily accern plisbed. The toast was received with acclamation. Stephenson. P Mr. BIDDER briefly returned thanks on Wulf ofAr. tephenson.

H e Ba ld he was the oldest member of the board of directien of either the Eastern Counties or the Northern and Eastern, and had therefore seen many administrations ; bat he had never met witheeiny man who was more ready to promote the welfare of those in the service of the com pany than their Chairman.—(Loud cheers.) One fact was worth a thousand speeches. That morning he be sought him to reverse a decision on aceotmt of the family of the subject of his application. He said he had never yet refused any request ,'hich he (Mr. Sheriff Kennaird) had made to him, becatne he had never laid before him any cases save those w orthy of relief. He wished they could have heard the expres sions which he made use of on the occasiott. He said truly, when he said that the way to keep good servants was to treat them fairly—to treat them justly and well , —(Loud cheers.) The directors had but one desire—to treat all kindly, and that there would be an estrit de corps amongst them. Whatever th e papers might Say to the contrary, there was not a better managed railway in the kingdom than the Eastern Counties.,e--(Cheers.) The toast wa s ent h us i ast i ca ll y receieed.

These lines were the right and left arms of the Eastern:Counties Company, and it was, therefore, their utmost desire to promote a good understanding between each other. The toast was received with acclamation. Mr. TILL returned thanks en behalf of the Norfolk Company, and thanked the officers of the Company for honouring him with an invitation to the entertainment. On behalf of the officers of the company which he repre sented, he cJuld assure them that they would do all in their power to promote the interests of the Eastern Counties Company.—(Cheers.) Mr. SAUNDERS briefly responded to the toast. Mr. SMALL responded to the toast of the directors of the Eastern Counties, and Northern and Eastern boards. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of Mr. Roney, and the officers of the company," including suc cess to the engineering, the locomotive, the coaching and goods departments. It was impossible to have a secre tary who could carry out the directions of the board better than Mr. Roney.—(Cheers.) Mr. Davis, the ac countant, Mr. Moseley, the goods superintendent, Mr. Scott, of the locomotive department, Mr. Hunter, the locomotive superintendent, " Mr. Samuels," the resident engineer, and other gentlemen in connexion with the company, deserved frvourable mention, and he begged to propose their healths. Each toast was well received, and they respectively returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The men employed in the several departments of the company." He said the affairs of the company must be carried on by them, whether for weal or for woe; and that the company were most anxious to encourage those who attended steadily to their duties ; and,in appointing men, they look e d n o t to patronage, but to the ability of the men they em- Ployed, and to the patronage of the public.-- (Loud cheers.) The men and the company. had been blamed, , ayld not only blamed but blackguarded on account of the want of the necessary plant, but their means had been increased, and they intended to apply to Parliament for powers to enlarge their station at Shoreditch. Mr. RONEY briefly returned thanks. He said he had spent many proud and happy clays, but he had never experienced more pleasure than he did on that occasion, because he never saw a prouder or happier sight than be did on that occasion, namely, to behold such a large number enjoying themselves through the liberality of the directors of the company.—(Loud cheers.) It was gratifying to know they had as intelligent a body of men as any other railway in the kingdom; and with their united 'endeavours, and with the blessing of God, they would make the Eastern Counties line as successful as any other.—(Loud cheers.) For the personal manifestation of respect they had evinced he begged to tender them his most heartfelt thanks. He resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. Mr. PETO and Mr. Drrxcelt addressed the assembly on behalf of the ladies in very gallant terms, and the company separated. The fables were then cleared away, and dancing was commenced and kept up until an early hour this morning. Some idea of the extent and nature of the festival may be inferred from the fact that upwards of 1,600 were present, and partopk of the good cheer provided by the liberality of the company.

The precedent for an appli cation of the Government loan to be applied to the re clamation of bog and waste land has been set by Lord De Freyne, who has applied for a sum of 24,1641., to be laid out in the improvement of 10,944 acres upon his extensive estates in the county of Roscommon. As his Lord&hip is a strict tenant for life, it is only by availing himself cf the extraordinary powers proffered by the Treasury minute of the Ist of December that he could be enabled to make thig spirited exertion. THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION. The Eveningilail states that Mr. John Young, the Member for Cavan, " in his capacity of ex-Secretary of the Treasury, had addresnd to the followers of Sir Robert Vecl (be the same- more or less) the ordinary circular, requesting their attendance on the first night of the session, as it is probable that business of import ance,' and so forth, in the usual terms of such docu ments." LEEDS, DECEDthER 31. STOCK EXCIIANGE.—We have had but three clear busi ness-days this week and one meeting this morning, and as operations have not been very extensive, it is difficult to estimate the probabilities of future movements. Upon the whole, however, appearances favour expectations of im provement, and in same instances better prices are realised. No doubt this feeling would have extended, but for the en hanced price of corn, and the heavy calls for money now making to carry on the railway works in progress.

A committee of landlords of the county of Cork has been sitting in deliberation for the last week ; and, on Monday last, the following resolution was, after some discussion, unanimously agreed to. The opponents of the preposition here put forward will, no doubt, urge the absence of all machinery, such as exists in England, as a leading objection to the feasibility of an income-tax for Ireland ; nevertheless, among the countless projects which the present crisis has suggested, there have been some less rational than the remedy proposed by the Cork pi . . " That the experience we have had of the effects of the Labour-rate Act on all classes of the community indtices tts to. express our conviction that it is totally in adequate to provide for the necessities of the labouring population of Ireland ; that, while giving a limited em ployment in one direction, it withdraws labour from another ; and that while the process of public-works under it leads to the most useless ends and objects, it r<moves from the natural market of the country--- 7 -the cultivation of its soil—that labour upon which cur future supply of food depends. " That we approve of a compulsory taxation for the support of the labouring poor ; but we deny the justice of charging it exclusively on the land, and we implore the county deputies, who shall meet in Dublin or London, to take into their calm and deliberate consideration the meatuses which may best conduce to combine the largest amount of relief with a necessary but moderate taxation. That this taxation shall apply as well to income—indus trial, professional, and arising from invested capital, as from land'alone—that its distribution shall be released from all the expensive machinery now employed in its disbursement, and that a system of relief, under divi sional or district management and control, be substituted for the wasteful practice now prevailing under the boards of work and boards of guardians. In short, that the deputies so assembled shall devise the legislative means whereby the largest possible proportion of the taxes to be raised upon- the occupancy, property, and income of Ireland may be applied to the useful employment ut healthful labour, and the support of the aged and infirm destitute of the country. " That, if a principal of taxation such as we herein have sketched be adopted, we seek no special application of its expenditure; but if it shall be continued as a charge on the land of the country, we consider the . s i nz uvm ial character w o o f o th en e el lev in to_eifigggg ts landowners and we respectfully submit to the intended meeting that this principle be borne in mind, and contended for in tin preparation of any legislative enactment for the relief of Ireland in the ensuing session of Parliament." The Cork Constitation thus comments upon the reso lutions:— " It seems to us so fair in all its parts that we know not what objection can reasonably be urged against it. We are aware that in many quarters the taxing of in come is disapproved of, but we have never been able to recognise the soundness of the plea on which the disap proval rests, and so we repeatedly stated during the discussions on Sir Robert Peel's proposition. The ar gument derived from its fluctuating nature applies equally to any species of property whose returns are not definite and fixed. There is no more hardship in re quiring the fundholder or the physician, the shopkeeper or the lawyer, to contribute to the support of the poor p eithernse s of i n non-productiveextraordinary' measures of the community by which he lives, or to bear a for employing pro portion of ' labour directed to the benefit of th e genera l pu bli c , th an labour, o rn the e em ex in requiring the landlord or the farmer. If the income of the one is uncertain, so is the income of the other." Some idea of the state of the county of Cork may be learned from the fact that, in one barony (East Mus kerry), there are 8,900 persons returned as destitute by the relief committees, and of another (the barony of Bere) the Constitution thus reports : " For every one man employed there are five left rov ing in destitution abow- the country, and those who are on the lists of the overF. 3 !ers have, in many instances, to walk five miles to the road, and, if not there at the ap -wisseed4wartirisittar4r,oe- kalf-day.4..avages - is attepPe4 So that persons leaving their huts at four o'clock hi the morning cannot regain them before seven or eight o'clock at night, then to lie down on damp ground, their only covering being the wet garments in which they shivered while they toiled all day. But those who suffered on the works were content and were grateful, while those who were not employed crowded round the hou'ses of the few resident gentlemen in the neighbourhood, crying from hunger, and imploring to have their lives saved by getting a little food or employment to enable them to purchase it. Thus matters uroceeded until Monday, when a large body of the Dursey Islanders and the labourers of the three parishes surrounding Castletown, walked into the town, and declared their determi nation to move into Macroom and make a prisoner of Captain Gordon, whom they declared they would take back into the mountains, and there subject him to the same privations which they were enduring until he alleviated their dis tress. So determined did they appear in their purpose that the Rev. Thomas O'Grady, the rector, and Mr. O'Sullivan, two gentlemen of great influence in the county, could only prevail on them to postpone their march for a few days, by stating that they themselves would that night set off and endeavour to procure em ployment for them, as remonstrance by letter was disre garded. These gentlemen accordingly did so, but the result of their mission is not yet disclosed." DEATHS BY STARVATION IN MAYO, The Mayo Constitution publishes another fearful ca talogue of deaths by famine within the last ten days. Here is the supplementary " black list":— •` On Monday, the 21st instant, Mr. Atkinson, coroner, held an inquest on the body of Pat M‘Donnell, at Springhill. The deceased was found dead in a field.

Although we cannot with his norther; correspondent, favoured with a similar intimation, _pros mise to call upon Mr. Ady with a pair of Lancashire fist and Lancashire clogs, yet, Herefordshire being a wooden country, perhaps we may select a good, stout specime4. of black thorn, and give the old sinner a look at it whew we call at " No. 5, York-street, Charlotte-street."

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as u testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. Z. Swan-street, "Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Re, generator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than t 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 ai lls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as ske 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 perfinne it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above, facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and 'revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will givo the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and. flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion 'to the toilet. In cases of nevons headache, pour ten or twelve drops en the Grown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials. . _ . . . All letters addressed to William Grimstone Herbary, Highgate. REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION. A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the ducat:Ls of nature has lately occtitTed in the ease of A Mr. F. Balla, a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from Barlastone Market 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 he because, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute fbr his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR 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 now to boast 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. This'fact speaks too strongly fbr itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandruff, and makes it beautirully soft and curly. *.* Beware of " spurious compounds" under the title of "MA CASSAR OIL," some under the "implied" sanction of Royalty and he Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception.
