A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. a gentleman residing at Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from iiarlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill mess of several months' duration, during which period his hair con inued to come off, till he became, 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 for 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 et hair, which presents this pecullarit; , , that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—llell'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 Dandriff, and makes it beautifully 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. ROWLAND'S MACASS kit OIL is sold by the proprietors, at 20, HATTON-GARDEN LONDON, and all respectable Chemists and Perfumers. CIIUBBS' LOCKS, FIRE-PROOF SAFES AND CASH BOXES.

On the following day (Tuesday) he experienced another paralytic stroke more serious than the previous attack, and it is now feared that he will be unable to sustain the severity of the relapse.

AN OLD TRICK REPEATED.—The following trick is as old as the gipsey tricks by which credulous people are often duped, and only find out the deception after they have lost their money. On Thursday, the 14th instant, a woman named Ellen Stevens, called at the shop of Mr. Joseph Sellers, a grocer in the village of St. Blazey. She stated— of course in a very cautious and secret manner—that she had some tea and tobacco to sell that was smuggled; he should have some of it very cheap, but she could not sell less than 40 or 501bs. A bargain was made, thegoods being so cheap, and she was to come again the next day. She failed to do so, but appeared on the Saturday, and excused herself to the shopkeeper by saying that Friday was a wet day, and the " parties" were gone in another direction with goods ; the tea and tobacco were, however, now ready, and if b e would go to Par w ith h er, he should have the parcels. After dark they set out, the shopkeper, his brother, and the woman, and on arriving at the place, there indeed were the goods, and a smuggler with them. It appeared thus far to be all right, but to satisfy the grocer beyond every doubt and fear, the woman took his hand and put it down upon one of the parcels, where, the paper being torn, the grocer could feel and smell some very excellent tobacco. tbhe intignieahamenoafier'ei !n:gefte' i Ile had a sack with him, and the ;woman proposed that the parcels should be emptied from her sack into his as quickly as possible, for fear the prowling officers of ex cise might come and catch them. This was no sooner said than done, the grocer's brother assisting, and the bag being thrown across his shoulders, he marched off with it. The grocer then took the woman to a neighbouring beer house to settle accounts with her, and paid her about 71. 13s. for the smuggled tea and tobacco." He then hastened to see the e % 2n • ( h se o t le extent instant, of his . good luck, he opened home to take care of his prize, but being rather in a hurry one of the parcels the same night, and fousshnaidtb,lytLlitsceovmineatryertihboeer contained nothing but sawdust 1 Only the top of the h n u e t x t th d e ay wonuin inquiries wm w n er o e t t r c i .,. - ta b d o e fo a u b n o d ut ; spuaprcpeolssed,coinnsiasstesdmaolfl atelananortitt3o,baucsc,(y),oualnddpot whaesforee. committed,Carly o o n n , and on Monday the a came annd io Fitzsimmons.tti o i o T eo r o u r m s e , ofsth wherehee was day she was app gave -dust. neighbourhood,O apprehended charged Ti subsequently n :s lo rl s . e , informationilti thed by to take her trial at the be the • ' A man said to woman s assizes for misdemeanour. the Thursday, ly the husband, and known by accomplice with the lady Jack the Darning needle, was charged with proof not being forthcoming, he smuggler, but the requisite after a lengthened was discharged.

COLBURIV'S UNITED SERVICE. In the present number we have the first of a series of paper s d e t a ili ng t h e 'aHistory of British Intercourse with Japan." In fact, it was an English man, 'William Adams, of Gillingham, near Rochester, who first piloted the Dutch to Japan, where, through the intrigues of the Portuguese Jesuits, the crew of the vessel were imprisoned, and their goods confis cated, until by the tact and prudence of Adams they were all liberated and their goods and ship restored. Adams himself became so great a favourite at the Court of Jeddo that the Emperor retained him near his person to instruct himself and his subjects in geometry, astron om y, an d nav i ga ti on ; i n d uce d him to build two ships for him according to the European method; created him a noble, and settled a large estate on him ; and sent him in command of a fleet to Siam, on his return from whence he directed him to writ e l e t ters to Eng l an d , i nv iti ng his countrymen to come and trade with the Japanese. It was through the interest of Adams, and through his interest on l y, t h at the Dutch were permi tted to remain in Japan, or to send vessels there to trade ; and yet in the Moniteur Orientals—a publication making its appearance regularly at Hague, under the patronage of the Dutch Government—although the history of this first expedition, which sailed from Rotterdam in 1588, is minutely given, all allu sion to William Adams, the Englishman, is care fully avoided, and from the beginning to the end of the history his name is riot once mentioned. In consequence of the receipt of the letters of Adams, Captain John Saris, an Englishman, undertook an expedition to Japan, and arrived at Firando on the 11th of June, 1613. He was exceedingly well-received by the King, per mitted to purchase a factory, to land his cargo, and to trade. The Japanese towed his ship into the harbour, and, according to his own statement, " they anchored before Firando, in five fathoms oozy ground, so near to the shore that they could talk to the people in their houses." This account proves how absurd it is to rely upon the modern Dutch accounts of Japan : "For they maintain th a t every harbour of that country is so shallow as necessarily to exclude all but small ves sels ; whereas we find, from Captain Saris's experience, that in the harbour of Firando, which is veri , far from beingithe best in the country, a line of-battle ship may cast anchor within pistol•shot of the shore. But our neighbours have carried their misrepresentations much farther than this, since they have been at the pains to construct false charts of th e J a p anese coast and publish aso r .nf, i , vals • an act so t e h f tm atrocity 'Witha, rt i article ecol arrival ord concludes. r vwn a t ch o l uco m hdf i e s cts l h e .ae a pr d tel a iah n nre d e s w f, ae, r rwH e i s c d the ti'le S p ik r h; e p i k sa a tt r t o h a lr l e y l , i i e r r l and the Punjaub is continued to the eve of the battle of Moodkee ; and our old friend Colonel Firebrace has an admirable paper on the absurdity of promotion by purchase.

This article is to be concluded in the next number. There are a great variety of other inte resting paper on professional subjects in this number of the United Service. COMIC HISTORY OF ENGLAND. No. VIII. By Gilbert Abbot A'Becl:ett. This is certainly the strangest History of England ever composed, but it is no less true than strange, and exposes the errors of other historians, after the most facetious yet the most convincing fashion. It will be recollected that all the historians agree that Henry the Fifth, when he set out on his Agincourt cam paign, left Southampton for llarfleur with one thou sand vessels. On this Mr. A'Beckett says, " We must request the reader to bear in mind, that though all the authorities justify us in announcing ono thousand as the number of the ships constituting Henry's fleet, we should not advise any one to believe the state ment, who has not had an opportunity of counting the vessels. Either the ships in those days were very small, or Southampton harbour has been fearfully contracted by the contractors who have since undertaken to widen it. We have been accustomed to place implicit faith in the rule of arithmetic, that a thousand into one won't got' nor do we feel disposed to alter our impression in favour of a thousand of Henry's ships being able to go into Southampton harbour. We suspect that a hundred would have been nearer the mark, for posterity is greatly in the habit of putting on an 0, and really believing there is nothing in it." How - ever humourous this may appear, there is no doubt much soundness in Mr. A'Brokett's obser vation. History can only be properly studied under the influence of a judicious scepticism. His account of the doings of Joan Arc is admirable.. His theory of her inspiration is quite as good as any that has been propounded, and infinitely more probable. VANITY FAIR. No. 11. By W. M. Thackeray. In this number all Miss Rebecca Sharp's hopes of becoming Mrs. Joseph Sedley are blasted. The party go to Vauxhall, where Mr. Joseph gets so uproariously drunk upon rack punch, just as he is on the point of " popping the question," that he is obliged to be taken tome and put to bed. The next morning he is so ill and so ashamed, that he dares not meet Miss Sharp, but writes a note, requesting his sister to apologise for his conduct, and announcing his inten tion of setting off to Scotland for the recovery of his health. Miss Rebecca consequently proceeds to Sir Pitt Crawley in the capacity of governess.

The trial for the month is that of " Beau Fielding (the Or lando the Fair of the ' Tatler') for intermarrying with the Duchess of Cleveland (Charles the Second's Lady Castlemaine) his first wife being alive. It is a very curious story, and would dramatise effectively. He married his first wife by mistake. A regular fortune-hunter, he bribed a certain Mrs. Villars to introduce him t o a rich widow, a Mrs. Deleau. Disgusted with his impru dence Mrs. Deleau caused another woman without a s sous to assume her name and character. A s Mr Deleau s h e w as introduced to Fielding, as M rs. .

Mr. Percy St. John's tale, entitled " The Miser's Will," is continued in the present number, and the interest of the story increases ill each succeeding chapter. The first book is concluded in this number, and at the opening of the second we are introduced to " the Japanese Minstrels," who lodge with a Mrs. Lewis opposite the mysterious dwelling of the myste rious stranger in the borough. These Japanese Mins trels promise well. From an admirably written " History of Lloyd's Coffee-house," by John A. Heraud, we extract the following curious state ment : " A singular instance has just occurred, showing the increasing influence of Lloyd's. Captain Grover, who has directed his attention to the short-comings of the Foreign Office, ,after having corresponded with Lgrd Aberdeen, in relation to the case of the crews of the ships Margaret and Conner, who were murdered or im prisoned by the Moors, while, a year and a half ago, in search of guano on the coast of Argum, an island in lat. 20 deg. 27 min. N., and long. 16 deg. 37 min, W., but a few days' sail from Plymouth; and having received un satisfactory answers to his inquiry, bethought of apply ing to the committee of Lloyd s . A copy of his applica tion now lies before us. Government having failed in procuring the rescue of the captives. Captain Grover proposed that the committee of Lloyd's should provide, without delay, an armed steamer for the purpose, com manded by Captain Northwood, and dispatched at the same time a copy of his proposal to Lord Aberdeen. This course of proceeding was at once respected by his Lord ship, who lost no time in writing to the mother of one of the sufferers, stating that Government would take steps for their deliverance, and the punishment of their captors. Captain Grover according suppressed the appeal he was about to make to the merchants of London, Liverpool, and Bristol. The unfortunate men, after being in cap tivity about twelve months, owed at last their liberation to the kind exertions of the master of a merchant vessel, Captain Isemonger. It was thus granted to the spirit of commerce, rather than to that of Government, to vindi cate the honour of the country. Repeated instances of similar abandonment must tend to stimulate the same spirit to yet farther exertions, while Captain Gover's ap plication suggests an extension of its authority and influ ence, which csnnot fail of being beneficial in some high places of the state." The Mirror contains several other excellent arti cles. Indeed, all the papers in the present number are of more than average merit. THE MUSICAL HERALD. Part IX. We are glad to perceive that Mr. Hogarth is re viving some of those classical pianoforte compositions which were the delight of our younger days, but which are now never heard by any chance. He has done the cause of music good service by re-publish ing in this part the fantasia on the Russian air by the Abbe Gelinek, who, as he justly observes, was one of the most agreeable and popular pianoforte composers of his day. We hope Mr. Hogarth will enrich the pages of the Musical Herald with some more of Gelinek's pleasing compositions. Classi cality, however, is not confined to th® compositions of by-gone musicians. What, for instance, can be more classical, more harmonious, more graceful, than Mr. Hogarth's own trio, " Love is just lik e Ap r il weather," which we find in the present number. We have, too, a very baautif u l T em p o di Minuetto, . F. Graham, never before pub lished; besides a vari e ty o f other pieces, all of which are good and pleasant melange of musical gossip. THE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL. Vol. 11. Edited by John Sounders. Having taken occasion to express our opinion upon this periodical, as it appeared from month to month, there is little necessity to say more than that the binding is elegant and appropriate, and that the " numbers," when collected together into a volume, present a right goodly appearance. Besides, there is no positive necessity for saying more on the score of ensuring it the readers and subscribers it so well de serves : it is already so great a favourite with the multitude, as to be able to dispense with any such assistance to its circulation. Still we are so fully satisfied with the talent visible in the pages of the People's Journal, and so favourably impressed by the generous and gentle tone with which the bulk of its contributions are written, that we should be doing an injustice, both to it and to ourselves, did we not make the acknowledgment. The people will not be losers by storing the volumes of the People's Journal on their book-shelves. RAIL WA Y REGISTER. The very valuable series of papers by Mr. Hyde Clarke, on the subject of Indian railways, is continued in this number. As in several parts of India railways will come into competition with boat traffic, it is ne cessary to be acquainted with the rates of charge per boat, in order to calculate the probability of the suc cess of a railway. To this subject Mr. Clarke devotes the present paper, which is a complete collection of the statistics of boat traffic in India. There are several other articles of great interest to the engineer ing and the railway world, and in the Portfolio Mr. Clarke continues his republication of the original prospectuses of the various railway schemes. THE POTATO DISEASE. On Saturday evening, a conversazione was given by Professor Smee at his residence, No. 7, Finsbury Circus, at which a considerable number of scientific gentlemen present. The subject which formed the principal attrac tion of the evening was an exhibition of the potato plant in various stages of the disease—from the incipient affec tion of the plant to the matured form of the evil. Po werful microscopes were arranged round the room, through which could be seen the various species of th e aphis vastator—the ins ec t w h ose ravages h ave caused t he failure of the crop during the last year. Tho appear ance it presents is very much the same as that presented by the common flea, when viewed through a powerful magnifying medium, but the insect is not one-twentieth part of the size. There were seve ral specimens of the infected plant sent by the Right Hon. Charles Shaw Lefevre, the Speaker of the House of Commons, and the appearance presented by them, when viewed by the naked eye, was exactly the same as that presented by plants from other parts of the king dom, but the form of the insect appeared to vary with the district. Another source of attraction was the va rious domestic vegetables, prepared so as to form bread exactly resembling the ordinary wheaten bread. The vegetable substances from which the various kinds of bread were formed were—the white beet root, the carrot, the marigold wurzel, the Iceland moss, thel artichoke, the sweet-potato, the Indian corn, common rye, the turnip, common barley, common beet-root, sweet beet -root, the parsnip, and though last, not least, bread prepared from hay —a sweet smelling and not unpalatable food. The Iceland moss bread alone was nauseous, all the other varieties were well tasted, and presenting the appearance of the ordinary loaf, and in dicating by the smell the vegetable from which it was prepared. By way of washing down these novel kinds of food, a jug of ale prepared from sugar was introduced, and although not disagreeable, it certainly did not realise an Englishman's idea of Barclay, Perkins, and Co.'s pre paration. There were various instruments, showing the application of galvanism to medical purposes, and Pro fessor Smee's ether inhaler was exhibited. A descrip tion of this instrument has already appeared in the Illustrated London I'Vews,:and therefore it is unnecessary to describe it any farther. It is sufficient to say, that from its simplicity and portability, it bids fair to super sede any other instrument of the kind ever produced. Mr. Saunders, of the Morning Advertiser, was the first to inhale the ether, and after the lapse of a minute almost complete insensibility was produced. Other gentlemen were then subjected to the infinence of the ether, and in one instance, after inhaling the vapour for 45 seconds, perfect insensibility was produced, which lasted rather more than two minutes and a half. There were various specimens of the electro statues introduced, and some beautiful Daguerreotype views were placed round the room. Refreshments on an ample scale were provided for the visitors, of whom there were, in the cour se o f t h e evening, no le s s th an 150 present. The parties all left apparently much gratified with the entertainments, which were materially enhanced by the kindness of Professor Smee and Dr. Mullinder, in explaining the various objects of curiosity to the visitors.

At Burghend, two vessels laden with meal for export were deprived of their cargoes. At Lossiemouth and Findhorn several carts laden with oats were seized, and the captured victuals lodged in storehouses. The other places in the neighbourhood being in a similar state of excitement, forty soldiers from Fort George have been stationed at Elgin; and a company . from Aberdeen has been sent to Port Gordon, intowhich the inhabitants of Keith an inland town, are said to be . pouring in large numbers. Passing over intermediate districts, the food riot folly h as also reached the south. In Stranraer, disturbance was raised because two meal-dealers would not sell their meal at 2s. 6d. per stone. Carrots and loaves were also stolen, but the promptitude of the authorities prevented the riots from reach ing any great height. The Edinbugh Destitution Fund amounts to-day to 24,099/. 6s. 2d. The Scotsman's "com missioner" to the Highlands appears to think that the High landers are by far . too indolent, and that the distress, al though revere, has some instances been exaggerated. SELECT COMMITTEE ON CLAS SIFICATION OF RAILWAYS, 1847. The Committee of Classification have directed that the groups of railways formed by them be depo s it e d i n the Committee ' Clerks'-oflice - , and that notice be given to the Parliamentary agents promoting the several Bills. The Committee will entertain any suggestions for an aitcr ation in the groups, provided that the agent suggesting the alteration shall have communicated to the agents of the other Bills in the same group the nature of the proposed alterations, and the time at which is intended to bring them under the consideration of the Committee. The following groups have been formed, and the numbers included in each group refer to those in the general list of peti tions for private Bills; but, to avoid mistakes, Parliamentary agents are requested to inspect the groups themselves, in the Committee Clerks'-office.
