Reade r, remember, this letter was put tato the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tuxity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, lid the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues negenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an lls. 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 et nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is tar 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 turnin g grey, few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre- Vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and . I revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the test aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing Odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion a the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops the crown of the heat; if v •ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an suf.. In most casas relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air oft ehildren's heads in a few appplicAtions. It used on infants' Cads, 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.

The hounds will then, it is expected, be taken to Lyndhurst, in Hampshire, for the purpose of having a week's hunting In the New 1 7 COMMITTEES. (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP I. The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of ho comprised in this group re assembled in Room 3p, t the usual hour this morning; Lord Granville Somerset in Llie chair. THE SOUTH-EASTERN SCHEMES. Sir J. Nays mith corroborated the testimony of a former witness as to the injury the proposed Mid Kent line would inflict upon Lullingstone Castle and park. Mr. John Glutton, the secretary of the South-Eastern Company, proved the estimates for the land and stations if the proposed lines. Mr. E. J. Morton produced the population returns, by which it would appear the South-Eastern hue; would ac commodate 13,745 more local residents tha.i those of the Brighton. Mr. Dow, the civil engineer who hid tested the relative qualities of the strwas in the cuttings and tunnels of the two schemes, gave it as his decided opinion that if the Brighton Mid Kent line were granted they would never succeed in getting .through Broughton-hill, while, at many poi-ts where there were cuttings, the surface of the rails would be several feet under water. A shaft had been sunk under his direction on Broughton-bill, and the strata was found to be wet and bad. Such difficulties as these did not exist on the South-Eastern lines. On these lines the strata was dry and good. This closes the case of the South-Eastern Company, with the exception of a few documents which have to be put in. The Committee then adjourned till Tuesday, _the 13th of April. PETITIONS ()N PRIVATE BILLS. HOUSE OF COMMONS. (Room 23, before Mr. Examiner MAY. ) UNOPPOSED LIST.

MADEMOISELLE JENNY LIND. ^We understand that Mr. Lumley is now on his way to Munich to meet this celebrated yocalist and bring her to London. The CHAIRMAN said that the Hon. Proprietor seemed .not - to understand the nature of the Bid ; the.Battle bride referred to was a Battle-bridge in Essex, and not at Pentonville. • Mr KENT said that he ctid not believe this line could ever . pay. He deprecated the attempts o' companies to. make so Many .branch lit.es—they were always injurious to the main trunk line. The CHAIRMAN—If the Hon.

A general meeting of the scripholders in this corn pany was held yest rday, at the Company's offices, 449, West Strand, Sir R. Price, Bart., President of the Com pany, in the chair. to gether'b The CHAIRMAN the AIRb I considerationAN said thatof a mutter they m ha u dh r i ee b n at round to be very simple, and would occupy but a v, ry short time. i hey were all aware that at the la=,t., meet ing complaints were made of the large amount of tlie solicitor.' hills, and it was then agreed upon thlt they :-hould be taxed. auwever, the (lir• ctors disc(:verLd that such a proceeding would be at.ended with a gr• at dial of delay and expense, which they were most a•.xious to avoid, and had therefore come to the de term.nition of endeavouring to make an arrangement with the soli citors. With a view to the accomplishment of that otject, his friend, Mr. BA, r, with a great deal of trouble and loss of time, went into an exatnination of the items of these and the result was that they had resolved to deduct a considerable sum from the gross amount of hose bills. It would now b 4 for the proprietors to s.:y whether or no they would sanction that arrangement, or still per,ever e i t their original determination of having these bibs taxed by the taxing-master. As he hail said before, the latter proceeding would be ltmg, tedious, and expensive, and the chances were that they might effect no saving at all. The amount they had agreed upon to deduct from the bills was 4;0001., which would now leave the claims at the sum of 10,143/. Bs. 10d., and the shareholders should be satisfied with that arrange ment. 11.e•begged to propose a resolution to that effect. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to some questions from the shareholder, said it was true that there were other Bills, but that that meeting had nut been called for any pur pose other than that which he had stated, and he would not be drawn into any other statement, Several Shareholders having insisted on knowing what the other Bills were, Mr. BAKER (a director).- said Otat k the se could be no injOAhm. his uttlang - *lll4,SheY wer e. - Thry 1.66'0(4 that the solicitors bil a 'we're so heavy Ars that they hart been compelled to employ six of them. Then, with regard to the engineers' claims, that of Mr. Brunel was very small indeed; but , with respect to the bill of their local engineer, Mr. Foljamb, he had to state that he was their local en gineer at Gloucester, and it was through . his mistake that the Bill had been lost on the standing orders. In consequence of that, they had taken from his bill 4681. 83. Id., leaving bim, in fact, very little more than his costs out of pocket; and the whole amount of all their engineering expenses did not exceed 6,5001. If, then, the shareholders were willing to accede to these arrangements, the directors would be i., a position to declare a dividend of 45., which would still leave about 5001. in hand, which would be quite sufficient to meet the small outstanding bills. After some discussion, the meeting unanimously agreed to the recommendation of the directors, and then separated. The CHAIRMAN that afier mewl.° consideration, the dirt curs had come to t he (6 tertuntati , ,u to allow the clauses to remain, and it tit , ( on mission( rs thoukht it desirable to expunge th, m, the directors would not.ob ject.to doing so. Mr. PRICE objected on principle to the clauses; he did not wish to see a railway company mixed up with the affairs of a steam-packet company. There were a num ber of minutiae connected with a steam-pat.k, t company, which a - railway beard could not control; and a steam packet company in connexion with a. railway company would he certain to prove an entire failure. A SHAREHOLDER s..id that the Southampton Com pany had made it answer very well. Mr. PRICE said, that in that case the Scuthampton Railway Company had only made an advance of money on the security of the boatS. The CHAIRMAN—That was,-:all the company pro posed to do iu the present case. The directors saw that it would be of no use having a railway to Harwich, un less a steam packet coinpiny was in connexion with that port, such a packet company as should make the port one worthy of the great traffic which would arise between that port and the Continent. Mr. PRICE objected to the clause as it then stood, as it did not state that the money was to be advanced on the security of the boats of the company. Mr. DuNcart said that he thought the most convenient course would be to allow the clause to pass as it stood. It would be idle to suppose that the directors would ad vance the money unless upon sufficient security. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, and Mr. Price declining to move any amendments, the original resolution was agreed to, there being only one hand (that of Mr. Price) held up against it. The other Bills (ten in number) were then put seri atim, and unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN said that he wished to make an im portant statement to the meeting, and - one which, con sidering the great 'attention the subject was re ceiving at the • hands of the Railway Com missioners and of the Government, he wished to go forth to the body of the shareholders. The share capital of the company for the new lines was 2,700,0001., with power to borrow 555,0001. They had the power of raising under Bills already sanctioned 1,665,000/., and there was yet a call of 10/. remaining upon the York extensions, which would give a capital of 1.850,000 L, from these two sources a capital of 3,515,000/. The whole of the capital required foe the new lines was only 2,700,000/. ; the company had, therefore, a surplus capital of upwards of 800,0001. to meet any contin eencies which might arise. There was also another subject to which he would just allude. Numerous letters had been rt , ceivei from the heads of colleges at Cambridge, expressing their opinion of the general arrangements of the line, and particularly referring, in the most flattering manner, to.the arrangements of the company at the time of the recent election of the Chan ' cellor of the University. ' A vote of thalls.wgs then proposed to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the shareholders of this compel was p et r ,ay held, at the Bishopsgate Station of the company, fur the purpose of confirming an agree ment for the least-, by the above-named company, of the East Anglian Railways, and for the purchase of the Enfield and Edmonton Railway ; at which special meet ing the Bill for caarying the first mentioned agreement into effect, end the other Bills promoted by the Eastern Counties Railway Company in the present session, were, in pursuance of the standing orders el the House of Lords, submitted to the shareholders for their approval. The chair was taken at one o'clock by D. Wadding ton, Esq., the deputy-chairman of the company. C. I'. RoNEY, Esq., the secretary to tee company, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said that he regretted the absence e in common with the' other proprietors, of their respected Chairman, who was at present staying on the Continent, but who did not think that it would be necessary for him to_ post from France in order to attend this meeting, thinking that the propositions to be submitted to the meeting would be unanimously agreed to. The object of the present meeting was to approve of the agreement entered into with the directors of the Eastern Counties Railway with that system of rai iway called the East Anglian system, including the Lynn and Ely Railway, the Lynn and Dereham Railway, sod the Ely and'Huntingdon Railway. The Lynn and Ely Railway was about 26 wiles in length, and there was also a branch to Wisbech, about 10 miles in length. The Lynn and Dereharn Railway was about 261 miles in length. Of the Ely and Huntingdon Railway' there was only five miles at present under contract, upon t hat portion of the line between St. Ives and Huntingdon, and as the directors did not propose to call Upon the East Anglian directors to promote that portion of the line between St. Ives and -Hunt ingdon, the whole extent of mileage included in the East Anglian system would be about 67 miles ; and it was this extent of proposed mileage that the directors sought to obtain the sanction for at the present meeting. The amount of capital upon which it was pro posed to guarantee a per ventage by the Eastern Coun ties Company was 884,000/., the amount of borrewed capital would be 170,0001., making a total of 1,054,000/. Upon this amount of capital the directors of the Eastern Counties Railway proposed to pay for the first year after the railways were completed 5 per cent., and liter the first year 6 per cent. in perpetuity.
