TO THE LADLES. This lady had the followingleite7lnserte d in the "Times" news aper on Aug. 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 thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair onher head, after using itabout four months, nd 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 of Mr. G.'s itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an lls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, ftom ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in aiund awe, 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 tact S.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a 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 srevent 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 most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops ii the erown 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 r i , i y a t : l =l: . a a p s ee , tif i tr L e s ooling influence on the brain as to re air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' cads, it promoting the growth 01 hair.— P See pamphlet of testimonials. Ailletters addressed to winism Grlmstone HerbarY. HielXate ON NERVOUS DEBILITY AND GENERATIVE DISEASES.

They had all been re spectfully informe d of the miserable co n dition of the people, and solicit ed to give relief.

" I believe it my sacred duty to gibbet this atrocity in the press, and to call on benevolent persons to loathe it as a monster crime. Twenty-one owners of property, en which scores, nay hundreds,. of th e i r fellow-crea tures are dying of hunger, give nothing to sa ve their lives ! Are they not virtually guilty of wholesale mur der ?

The votes on this proviso were, in the senate, 31 to 21; in the house, 112 to 97. The final votes on the passage of the Bill were, in the senate, 29 to 24; and in the house, 115 to 82. The following is the substance of the Bill: " This resolution enables the President to conclude a treaty of peace, limits, and boundaries, with the republic of Mexico, to be used by him in the event that said treaty, when signed by the authorized agents of the two Governments, and duly ratified by Mexico, shall call for the expenditure." _ _ _ The House of Representatives had refused to sanction the levy of a duty on tea and coffee. The Irish Relief Bill passed the senate, but was thrown out in the house by a vote of 102 to 53. The War and Mail Steamers Bill, one clause of which provides for the establishment of a line of four steamers to run between New York and Liverpool, had received the approval of Congress. The Hon. David Tod had been appointed Minister to vice Mr. Wise, recalled at his own request. Mr. Rush, of Pennsylvania, had been appointed Minister to the Court of France. Late accounts had been received from the seat of war: " WASHINGTON, MARCH 5. The schooner Cora arrived at New Orleans on the 26th ult. from Brazos, the 19th. The intelligence of the prospect of an action at Saltillo is confirmed. All General Taylor's outposts are said to be driven in, and an attack, if made at all, was expected during the first few days of February. " General Taylor's command at Saltillo would exceed 6,000 men. Many believed, that when the Mexicans found him in such force, the idea of an attack would be abandoned. " Very many officers were still of opinion that Santa Anna meditated no serious blow in that quarter, and that the movement was but a feint, and that he will lead the main body of his forces to Vera Cruz. " Rumours have reached New Orleans by this arrival that a general engagement had taken place. The Picayune attaches no credit to them. " Much apprehension was felt at Matamoras of an attack by General Urrea, who is understood to be on this side of the mountains with 4,000 men, 2,000 of them not to be surpassed by any in the Mexican service; the remainder are Rancheros. " Colonel Drake, commanding at Matamoros, has pro vided muskets and ammunition for citizens in case of an attack, and had sent to Point Isabel for several pieces of ordnance. "The Picayune does not deem the danger threatening the Matamoras very imminent. " Troops were embarking at the mouth of the Rio Grande as rapidly as possible. General Scott sailed on the 13th. " General Worth had not left on the 19th, and would not until the whole command was on shipboard. It was not supposed that the army could move from the island of Lobos before the 18th of March." We extract from the IVashingion Union the following:— " We understand that lead's have been received rrom Major-General Scott as late as the 14th of February at the Brazos. He was making exery arrangement to re • mave the troops to the island of Lobos; but, contrary to his expectation, the ten transports which had been engaged at New ()deans, and the others which had been e.ispatched from the northern ports, had not yet arrived. It is certain that they must have arrived therefrom both ports before this time. The ordnance, too, had not got to its place of destination. "Accounts had been received that the Mexican troops were pouring into Vera Cruz, principally in consequence of the dispatches which had been intercepted on the per son of Lieutenant Richey, of the infantry. "It is also said, on highl4 , respectable authority, that a French merchantman had just found its way into Vera Cruz with 10,000 stand of arms and 20 tons of gun powder on board. It remains to be seen in what man ner this vessel eluded our blockading squadron. "It is said that Commodore Perry, who left Wash ington a few days ago to embark in the steamer Mis sissippi (lately repaired at Norfolk), within a week goes to the Gulf to take the command of our squadron. " General Scott had not received any very recent dispatches from General Taylor, but accounts had reached him from Monterey of the report that Major Bor land, with about 50 soldiers of the Arkansas mounted reLiment, naa peen may. arextcans ; bUt 16 wax also said that Major Gaines and the mounted Ken tuckians were not there when the Arkansas Dragoons were captured." Later intelligence had been received from Vera Cruz —namely, to the 4th ult. Our letters from the squadron are to the 4th, and cur. Vera Cruz papers to the 2d. General Valencia has been relieved of his command, and his place supplied by General Vazquez. The Mexicans, having become convinced that Vera Cruz is to be the object of attack, have set about fortifying the passes on the road to Mexico. The merchants of Juleps have been called upon for a loan of 4,000 dolls. to fortify the Puente Nacionel. Rejon and Iriarte have entered upon the discharge of their duties as Secretaries of Foreign Affairs and Fi nances. Guevara has resigned the post of Minister of Justice. We do not find anything from San Luis, and cannot say whether Santa Anna has marched thence. The Mexican papers are crowded with the move ments of our troops. At San Luis, Tula, and Jalapa, they are on the alert for the advance of General Scott. Commodore Connor had been superseded by Com modore Perry in command of the Gulf squadron. By way of Havannah, news from Merida had been re ceived at New Orleans to the 6th ult. The forces of Campeachy had entered Merida, the city having capi tulated. Senor D. Domingo Barret has been nominated Governor of Yucatan. The Government and Council of State are transferred to Campeachy. The blockade of Laguna and Campeachy had been suspended so long as the most absolute neutrality should be observed, and vessels could come and go freely which should not attempt to carry by stealth munitions of war. The Irish Relief Fund in New York amounted to 155,000. One vessel with the supplies of American charity hz.d already been dispatched trom New York for Ireland. A second was to follow. SPORTING INTELLIGEN CE. TATTERSALL'S.—ThuitsDAy. With the exception of the Euclid colt and Sting, who were in high favour for the Newmarket Handicap, very few horses were in request, and in most cases the quo tations showed a decline ; this observation particularly applies to Antler, Sir Tatton Sykes, Conyngham, The Liberator, Pavilion, Christopher, and Black Dwarf, against whom the offers considerably exceeded those re ported from Northampton.

NEW YORK, MARCTii:fiTna;cei; were mostly quiet, and presented little change since yesterday's report. The uncertainty about freights tended to check operations. The large number of vessels which arrived a few day since, which, it was believed at first, would have reduced the rates of freights, it seems, from the fact of many of them being engaged previous to arriral, the expected decline was not realised. Within a day or two, easterly winds have again prevailed, and a number of vessels being due, it was supposed many were off the coast, ready to enter the harbour on a change of wind to the south. In this state of uncertainty, the rates to Liverpool, though nomi nally the same. were rather heavy. Small sales of Genesee flour were made at 7 dollars; Southern was quiet at, 6 dol lars 50c. to 6 dollars 75c. A sale of red wheat was made at 1 dollar 50c..-Corn was less firm, and sales were freely made at 90c. to 95c. for Southern white, and at 95c. for Southern yellow. Prime Northern yellow sold from 95c. 98c. to 99c Provisions were quiet at yesterday's rates, with some sales of lard, and clear middles of pork. Groceries were steady, with a fair amount of sales, if we except coffee, which conti nued dull. FATAL OCCURRENCE AT THE CAMDEN STATION OF THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—A fatal accident took place on Tuesday afternoon, at the Cam den-station of the London and North-Western Railway, on the premises in the occupation of Messrs. Pickford, the rail way carriers. It appears that for some months past, a num ber of workmen in the employ of Messrs. Piper and Co., builders, of Bishopsgate, have been engaged in erecting additional warehouses for Messrs. Pickford, the basement of which is supported by arc hes, forming a capacious stabling, On Tuesday afternoon the men, chiefly carpenters, were em ployed in finishing the stables , when suddenly four of the arches gave way with a frightful crash, burying the poor fellows who were at work in the ruins. As soon as the con sternation had subsided, a number of men set to work to re move the rubbish. Four of the unfortunate men were so deeply buried, that a considerable time elapsed before they could be extricated, and they were got out frightfully fated and and apparently lifeless; but they were at once con veyed to University College Hospital. Every one of the poor fellows was in a state of insensibility on their arrival, and one of them died in an hour after admission. The following statement of the house surgeon, as to the injuries sustained by the men, will show the fright ful nature of the accident. t dward Whitman (since dead), a carpenter, aged 35, residing at 41, Middlesex-street, Somers-town, was found, on admission, to have sustained a scalp wound and fracture of the skull, crushing in the whole of the right side of the forehead from the temple to the nose, several ribs crushed in upon the lungs, a compound fracture o f both bones of the right leg, a dislocation of the left ancle, and other injuries. William Edwards, carpenter, aged 30, residing at 32, Warren-street, Camden-town, comminated fracture of the left thigh, and compound dislocation of the left ancle joint, fracture of the tibia, severe bruises about the forehead and face, a wound on the head, with consider able extravasation of blood under the scalp. George Murfin, aged 20, carpenter, residing at 3, Prospect-place, Islington, dislocation of the ancle joint, severe wound in the back of the head, very severe contusions of the left arm, and other injuries. Jeremiah Mayhoe, aged 21, labourer, of 6, Hill ' street, Finsbury, severe injury to the lower part of the spine. Another man, named William Sanders, was also severely in jured. On instituting inquiries into the cause of the accident, it is accounted for by the breaking of a tension rod, conse quent, it is supposed, on the insecurity of the brickwork, oc casioned by its being built during the late frost. On inquiry at the hospital yesterday it was ascertained that the other sufferers are still in a dangerous condition. LETTER OF ICING OTHO OF GREECE TO THE SULTAN. May it please your Majesty,—A vexatious incident threatens to compromise the good understanding be tween the two Crowns which Providence has conned to us. This good understanding may be reinforced for the present, and assured for the future, by a frank and honest explanation. Why should I hesitate to give it spontaneously ? Your Msjesty will, I ant firmly convinced, under stand the sentiments of perfect confidence and pro found esteem which counsel me to take a step the object of which is too high to be made the object of false interpretations. In claiming for a royal guarantee the respect which was due to it, I conscientiously feel that I fulfilled a duty which, for the interest of the sovereign dignity, I should see confided to the hands of your Majesty with en tire security. Moved by this sentiment, I addressed a reproach to the repre,entative of a prince for whom I profess a sincere affection. I was not induced to do so by the fact which seems to have been the only motive of my words. For some time the attitude and conduct of M. Mus- surus, the subject of different representations on the part of my Government to that of your Majesty, gave me great uneasiness with respect to the maintenance of the friendly and neighbourly reLtiers so precious to me, and so important to the two countries whose interests are common on so many points, and by so many rights. In testifying the dissatisfaction which made me feel, not so much a refusal as the proceedings which ac companied it, I especially expressed a feeling of solici tude, often shared I doubt not by your Majesty, who labours with a noble ardour for the pacific progress of the people confided to your Government. Triiis the true and complete explanation of my words ; they were only tt___T 'la ev.god to hlm who forgot the high object of his commission. This explanation I have thought it honest to give complete. Your Ma- jesty will consider the resolutions that will be counselled by your wisdom. As for myself, I feel that this explanation, freely given, is as conformable to my duties as it is to the feelings of my heart. Thus, I entertain a firm hope— I think I may say, a certainty—that your Majesty will find therein a proof that, like your Majesty, I place my real honour on the ground commanded by the Almighty, and that my most ardent desire is to maintain harmony between two crowns, between two nations, whose glory and prosperity, far from being rival, have everything to obtain from a mutual assistance. Upon which I pray God that he may keep you, most high, most excellent, and most potent Emperor, our well beloved neighbour and ally, under his holy and condign protection.—Your ♦ery dear and perfect friend, Athens, the Ist (13th) February, 1847. OTHO. The Sultan's reply, is as follows: I have received the letter which your Majesty ad dressed to me under date of the Ist of February. lam much obliged for the sentiments of friendship which your Majesty therein manifests towards me, and for the desire which you express for the constant maintenance of the happy relations established between the two Go vernments; and I hasten to assure you that my heart also partakes of those sentiments and that desire. As to the deplorable incident to which reference is made in that letter, it has seemed to me more suitable to the dignity of the two crowns, and more conformable to the matters which must consolidate our mutual friend ship, to confide the solution of this question to my Sublime Porte and to the Ministers of your Majesty. In consequence the necessary orders have been given to that effect. Your Majesty will, doubtless, see in the choice of this form of procedure a proof of my considera tion and my sincere friendship, as well as of the desire which I have to banish everything that may tend to endanger the existence of that friendship. I pray God to keep your Majesty always under his holy protection. The 13th Rebi-ul-evril, 1263 (Ist March, 1847.) AGRICULTURAL MATTERS IN :SCOTLAND. Never perhaps in the memory of man has there been a more favourable seed-time, or a greater extent of land sown in the same number of days, as within the last fortnight. Around Edinburgh many farmers have finished sowing both oats and barley, and with a con tinuance of a few days of weather similar to that we have recently enjoyed, the seed time of 1847 will be completed in the Lothians. A large breadth of beans has been sown as a substitute for potatoes, but there are few farmers not determined to make another trial of the latter, though the extent that will be planted will be very limited. There does not appear to be much difficulty in procuring seed, but the price asked is exor bitant-201. a ton has been demanded, though we have not heard of any sales at that figure. Sound looking seed from England and the north of Scotland fir.ds ready buyers at 121. 10s. and 131. 10s. per ton. The opening of the North British Railway has proved a great boon to cow-keepers ; but for the large quantity of Swedish turnips brought by this means of transit from East Lothian, fox' both for cows and horses would have been much higher in Edinburgh than it is, and it is indeed very high. Around the city the fields are nearly cleared of turnips, and there does not appear to be many stored up ; and as a consequence of this scarcity of keep, which we believe is general, our cattle market has been particu larly crowded these two market days—many of the ex posers being country butchers compelled to sell, their turnips being exhausted. We have bad some there slight showers during the week, but we understand ereh h as t been rather a heavy fall of ruin to the westward.— Scotsman. JOSEPH ADY AGAIN.—The unenviable notoriety attained by Hr. Joseph My, of London, by his attempts to practise upon the credulity of parties residentin the country, renders it almost a matter of supererogation to caution our readers aganst his manceuvres. We may state, however, that several parties in the Potteries have recently been honoured with circulars (not pre-paid) from Mr. My. With the new year Joseph seems to have adopted a slightly im proved plan. His missives no longer bear the appearance of a schoolboy's scrawl—they are lithographed, and look more business-like. This week a neighbour received a "circular" in the usual style. " Something to your advantage (about 100/. and upwards)" will be disclosed "on receipt of 20 shillings by post-office order." The subscriber," Joseph Ady, accountant," states truly that he is personally known to each of the Aldermen of London ;" and then unblushingly adds:—" Should you find any difficulty in getting the money, the Right Hon. Sir Peter Laurie, Deputy Lord Mayor, will frank you from all expenses except postages, which you must pay both ways." Joseph's intended victim in the Potteries happened to be au artist by profession and a humorist in disposition. Hi s ready pencil soon depicted on paper the figure of a well-fed hound, leisurely holding between its paw a piece of coin, at such a distance that a chained cur finds it impossible to reach. From the mouth of the "jolly dog" issued the words, " Don't you wish you may get it, J e Above the "sorry dog" was legibly written „ Joe A o d y ?,, In this speaking carricature Mr. Ady's correspondent care fully folded a farthing, and then sealed the encloasuyyrooeuu I tra h b an ottle of claret, v fo e l r lo ei w gn in . g . letter:— lic " k D y e o a u r r s li i p r, s — o E ve n r cl a o n se e d x and send the name of your father and mother iu Below was sketched the r ina ne ts x ho t e- . fi l g a u m re , d of ear a w a r ir elch .o ed ur c a km ll i a nl P s .' w ' in from a lofty gallows, and by the sida appeared this ominous gng warning, "Joseph Ady, take heed lest, this prove your sad end."—Staffordshire Me i urY, The once celebrated and well-kn own singer, Mari anne Sessi, died re cen tl y at Vi enna, in her Nth year. i P _ _ r e - N r to PR!c SD. (3 ' 2 - HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of last Nir,!lt.) The Cotton and Share Markets were closed yesterday at Liverpool. We have received from a correspondent a letter in re ference to the analysis of the Bank of England cir culation, given under this bead on the 20th instant. We did not intend to infer, as the writer supposes, that the circulation of notes was diminished to the extent of the re duction in notes issued, otherwise we should not have given the items in tabular form, taking special care, likewise, to insert the decrease of notes in the banking department, and append our remarks at the conclusion of the table, and not after any particular item; and most City 'Article ret,ders are aware, that in order to judge of the actual decrease of circulation from week to week, they have only to make allowance for any increase or decrease in the " notes" un employed in the banking department, and balance it against the alteration in the notes issued. As there may be some general readers, however, who do not rightly understand this, we subjoin the explanation, drawn up for them by a correspondent, who writes from Bristol, under the signature of " Cosmopolite" : " The notes issued are not by any means a criterion of the notes in circulation; if they were so, then the comparison between the notes issued in the last returns, say 24,786,340, and those of March 14, 1846, 27,117,8051., would exhibit a decrease of 2,331,4654 whereas the actual deficiency in the circulation is not more than 173,485 i. between these two returns. "To ascertain the exact amount of notes in circulation, you must subtract the notes remaining in the banking de partment from the notes issued, and then you will find that the circulation for the week ending March 13th, 1847, was 19,232,2004 and that on the 14th March, 1846, 19,405,685/. "The amount of bullion and securities in the issue depart ment being 24,786,3401., to which must be added 663,1211. gold and silver coin in the Bank, and you have 25,449,461/. ; deduct therefrom 19,232,2001., the notes in circulation, and it would appear that the Bank has still a large sum of bullion (say 6,217,261/.) at their disposal before there can be any lawful necessity for reducing the circulation below the pre sent returns ; and as the silver loan of one million will doubtless be repaid by the bank of France at the end of this month, which, together with the large sums expected from South America and China, and the Siberian gold from Russia (now that the exchanges are improving), will all tend to place the Bank of England in such a safe position as to its bullion, that further apprehension on that head should cease, and confidence be speedily restored." The accounts from the United States, given in another column are to the 6th inst., and are satisfactory in respect to the supply of food available, although the high rates paid are not likely to be maintained.

NEW CATHOLIC CHAPEL.—The long-pending negociation for the purchase of a piece of ground in Ring Edward's -road, Mare-street, Hackney, for the erection of a building for Catholic worship, has been effected, and the foundation •stone laid a few days ago. A supper to the work men engaged was given at the Dolphin Tavern, on Monday ni 6 lit. A collection of very beautiful Italian sculpture has been publicly exhibited at Robins's Auction Rooms during the week. There is an endless variety of exquisite groups. and figures, which surpass all former efforts of the modern sculptor, whilst vast taste is shown in the selection of the subjects. The rare marbles of Elba and Tuscany, sculptured 1 into noble tazzas and vases, present splendid objects of de coration for the gallery and hall. We noticed a truly colos sal pair of tazzas, far surpassing in elaborateness of sculp ture any before seen in this country. The sale takes place this day. 4
