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 on her 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 Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production •f hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact::.-3, Swan-street, Borotyh." 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 lrevent 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 proauct of the inost aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing 3dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops is the erown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air ou children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' eads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre- Tent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—Seo pamphlet of testimonials.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held• for the dispatch of business. CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION REFORM. Deputy PEACOCK brought up the report of the Ccm mittee of Privileges of the whole Court " for power to prepare a Bill for effecting certain reforms in the Corpo ration of the City of London." The report stated as follows:—" We again proceeded in the further consideration of the matter referred to us, and this Court having on the 16th of March been pleased to agree with our report then presented. in which we stated we were of opinion the Corporation required some reform, which could only be effected by the aid of Parliament ; and being now of opinion that a Bill should be forthwith prepared for effecting certain reforms ; accordingly we recommend that we may be empowered to prepare the same Bill." Upon the motion that the Court agree with the report and that it be referred back to the committee to prepare the Bill Sir PETER LAURIE said he considered the proposition to prepare a Bill for Parliament most extraordinary and injudicious in the present position of the Court. — (Hear, hear, and No, no.) They had submitted a series of propositions to the law officers, with a view of ascertaining the rights and powers of the Court, and the opinion of those officers as to the course best calculated to promote the welfare of the corporation, and without waiting for the advice considered so necessary they were for starting at once into Parliament. He called that a periodical fit.—(Loud cries of " It is no fit," and " hear, bear.") There were three parties in this Court ; one a very small one, which supported the hazardous course which the Lord Mayor bad been advised to adopt ; an other, also, he thought a small section, which desired, under any circumstances, to go to Parliament ; and a third, to whicn he belonged, aad which considered that the corporation possessed powers by which all reform that was necessary could be easily accomplished.— (Cries of " Hear," and " No, no.") At the same time he would say, that if the motion, unreasonable as it was, were passed, he should not think it worth while to oppose it, but reserve his opposition, when the advocates of an application to Parliament should agree upon the form of a Bill. Many were anxious to go to Parliament, but very few of that number knew what they were to ask Parliament to give them and he believed that in the attempt to frame their Bill, the Committee would fall to pieces from internal disagreement. In 1835, came on the first attack of that fit, when the Court tried to render the Aldermen subject to periodical election, but was defeated by a majority of 63 to 3S. In 1838, upon a similar experiment, the application to Parliament was negatived by 59 to 45; and in 1843, the orators who looked upon the victory as secure, found they were again mistaken, although they wished to go to Parliament for exactly the same thing which they at the present mo ment seemed disposed to apply for. Indeed, all the Committee would have to do in applying to Parliament was to get up an old report and alter its date, and the result would be just what it was in 1843, when the pro posed bill was negatived by a majority of 185 to 54. He snould strenuously oppose the proposition to submit their privileges to Parliament, and ho knew he could reckon on the support of a very large majority of the Court of Common Council, who agreed with him that it would be madness to ask Parliament to interfere with them, especially when by the charter of Edward the Third they had the power of ordaining new laws and customs to meet the wants and exigencies of the times.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ASIWRST—AII was smothered by the Aldermen upon the occasions to which you refer, Sir Peter. Sir PETER LAURIE said there was no doubt as to in herent power in these charters, if these charters were understood.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and " Hear, hear.") If he was not mistaken, the Court would understand them in loss than one month, and it would be seen that the opinion ho had given so frequently was based upon the most substantial grounds. Mr. KING said the state of the Corporation at the period quoted by Sir Peter Laurie was very different from its present condition. At the several periods alluded to, there was a rabid faction in the Court, dis posed to destroy the Corporation, root and branch. The present movement was an effusion, not of a party, but of the whole of the representatives of the Wards.— (Hear, hear, and applause.) They either were, or they were not, a deliberative body, and if they claimed to be such, were they to submit to the dictation of one man, and to be told by him that they should not discuss any subject which he did not think meet for their con sideration ?—(Hear, hear.) Was it to be said that the time was never to come at which some change should be made in the constituency ? that the great majority of the respectable men in the wards should be excluded from the power of voting ? He did not think the Court would any longer endure the exercise of such authority as the present Lord Mayor had shown so great an in clination to wield, and for the purpose of checking the continuance* of such evils as they had all lately wit nessed, he should adopt Parliament as the only medium through which their constituency could obtain that to which they were entitled. Doctor LYNCri said they had affirmed the principle that Parliament must be applied to in order that some reform might be effected from a source hostile to the corrupt rho Corporation hear, and expressions of disapprobation.) it was agi blunder, and it was excessive fully to believe that the Court of Aldermen would for a moment consent to re form itself, or that any improvetnent could be accom plished in such a body without application to Parlia ment. Whatever powers were inherent in the Corpora tion as to the accomplishment of changes for the benefi of the citizens of London, it would be absurd to expect any advantage from the co operation of the Court of Aldermen, that monster evil to which it was most necessary to apply an immediate remedy. There were other evils for which the application of the Parliamen tary medicine would be necessary, but the Court of Aldermen stood at the head cf all that was bad in the Corporation of London. (No, no, and Yes, yes.) It was said that a reconciliation was about to take place between the two Courts. That was exactly what the constituency apprehended most.—(A laugh.) He feared that event himself, for he knew that such a reform as would spring:from such a reconciliation would be delusive and ridiculous. _ _ Mr. LAURENCE said that Mr. King, in denying the sincerity cf those who formed the committee for the consideration of former measures of reform, exhibited his own insincerity on the present occasion, for as to the past, that gentleman had proved himself to be the decided enemy to any proposition calculated to benefit his fellow citizens.—(Hear. hear, and laughter.) What ever the feelings of the majority had been as to the pro priety of applying to Parliament, from the apprehension of an interference injurious to the cornoration, they were now determined to peril all rather than submit to endure, what they had in the present Mayorality been subjected to, any longer.—(Loud cheers.) It was said the Corporation had the power to reform itself. Why, then, had they not made the effort ? In fact, it would be absurd to hope for the co-operation of the Court of Aldermen when they had a Lord Mayor acting in such a rnanner.—(Hear, hear.) The Lord Mayor was car rying out the wishes of the Court of Aldermen in riding rough-shod over the Court of Common Council. — (Hear, hear, and No, no.) Was there any man of spirit among the Court of Common Council who would bear such degradation ?—(Cbeers, and loud cries of " No.") It was said—" But look at what you will lose if you go to Parliament ? "—(Hear, hear.) . But he would ask — Will the Aldermen lose nothing ? Will they not be clipped ?—(Cheers.) They knew it. Did they really object to the Qualification Bill? They cared nothing about, it until they learned that it would be followed by the more important measure of checking their own expenditure of the City cash. Without ap plication to Parliament, the Court had nothing to ex pect but a repetition of what had already occurred ; but if an application to Parliament would cause the screw to be put upon the Court of Common Council, Parlia ment would see the necessity of screwing up the Court of Aldermen proportionately.—(Cheers.) Mr. it. TAYLOR advocated the report vigorously. He objected to the argument of Sir P. Laurie that because they had failed before, they were always to be frustrated, and he reminded them of the alderman of the days of George 1., when fifteen members of the Court of Alder men had gone to Parliament, and succeeded in obtain ing an Act which comprehended the most flagrant violation of the rights and privileges of the Court of Common Council.—(Hear, hear.) Why should not the Court of Common Council apply to the present Parlia ment for the repeal of that obvious measure ? Would any one say that the evils which had been forced upon them by Parliament, could be removed without the aid of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) The difficulties in which they were placed, had been aggravated by the decision against them in the court of law, with respect to the wholesale dealers, and an appeal to Parliament was the only means which appeared to him to be likely to render any service. Sir C. MARSUALL had thought that all angry feeling between the Courts was dying away.—(Loud cries of "No, no.") He was confident that this Court would be laughed at if they determined upon going to Parliament before they received the report of the seven gentlemen they had deputed to confer with the Court of Aldermen. Deputy STEVENS said the object was to propose a bill for Parliament, but not to go to Parliament without the consent of the Court. Mr. ASHURST said the Court of Aldermen showed the greatest promptitude in forming the Common Council, when it proposed to diminish the number of the repre sentatives there, or to cause any other essential altera• tion in that body; but the moment a word was uttered about making any changes in their own powers, nothing could be more inconsistent. Mr. Ashurst then proceeded to argue with much force upon the necessity of going to Parliament. Alderman CoPELAND said he should support the mo ti o n, having always been o f o p inion that the differ ences between the two Courts could not be settled with out the aid of the Legislature. Several other member s spoke in favour of the report, amongst whom were Mr. Anderton, Mr. T. 11. Hall, Mr. Cash, and Deputy Peacock. It was opposed by Mr. Godson. To the arguments used the public have been for some time accustomed. Ultimately the report was agreed to by a very great majority. The proceed in g s of the day certainly gave very little hope of the reconciliation spoken of at the commencement of the discussion; of the determination of the Court of Common Council to go to Parliament, PRICE SD. there cannot, however, be the slightest question. After the transaction of some business of minor importance, the Court adjourned. THE PROVISION SQUADRON. The Government, it would appaar from the following list, have not decreased the number of vessels of her Majesty's navy engaged in conveying provisions to the destitute parts of Ireland, and the west coast of Scot land, but we believe that the steam-frigates will now be principally employed in conveying seed to the distressed population of the above districts. The officers and crews of our navy have performed this service in a manner which reflects the greatest 'credit on them as sailors—and the highest honour on them as men. By day and by night—in smooth weather and rough gales, they have carried out the judicious and well-timed orders of the Admiralty and the intentions of the Government, with as much interest as celerity in their humane task. Their praiseworthy conduct deserves especial notice ; for they have made great sacrifices in this service, which we are sure requires only to be known to the public to be duly appreciated. Vessels of very large tonnage have been worked by one•half their usual complements, and with double the work they have been receiving only the same pay. The royal naval officers antk seamen have been doing the drudgery of merchant colliers without the advantages of merchant seamen's wages, and without complaint or murmur ; but o❑ the contrary, with cheer fulness and alacrity they have submitted to hard toil, and in many cases severe privations, in the good service on which they have been employed. We should not omit to notice another gratifying circumstance in connexion with this service. Although the crews have suffered so much inconvenience by being drafted from the particular ves sels for which they entered, the number of desertions has been very few, and those which have taken place has been of worthless wretches, whose continuance in the service was an annoyance to the officers and only an ex pense to the Crown. Again, in speaking of those actually engaged in the ships conveying provisons, we are led to notice the assis tance of the officers and crews of the guardships at the ,oat s ilorts. Large numbers of the provision squadron have been officered and manned from the Poictiers and Ocean, ordinary guardships at Chatham and Sheerness; from the St. Vincent 120, and Victory, 104, port and ordinary guardships at Portsmouth; and from the Queen. 110, and Caledonia, 120, port and ordinary guardships at Devonport; and from other ships in commission at the above ports. Thus we have Captain Williams and a portion of the officers and crew of the Atnphion, at Woolwich, away in the Odin; Captain Ramsay, Lieut. Need, and a portion of the officers and crew of the Ter rible, during her repair at Woolwich, in the Dragon; Lieut. Coles, with a party from the St. Vincent, is away in the Tartarus; Mr. Macdonald, master of the Royal Yacht, with another party. is in the Dauntless; Com mander Schomberg, and a party from the Queen, is in the Portland; Mr. Davey, supernumerary assis tant master attendant, and party from the Caledonia, are in the Centaur; and Mr. Brown, Master of the Cale • donia, and party from the Queen, are in the Tyne. Whilst these officers and men are absent from their re spective ships, of course, the duty falls heavier on those remaining ; but Captain Milne, of the St. Vincent, and Captain Sir Henry Leeke, of the Queen, with other gal lant officers, not only carry on their duties efficiently with the diminished crews, but on every occasion where help is required in fitting or navigating they are always ready to afford it, proofs of which have been given in getting ready in a very short space of time several ves sels whose services have been most urgently required. Nor should the services of the officers and men of the dockyard and victualling be forgotten. With respect to the former, at Portsmouth and Woolwich, they have exerted themselves in a manner not rivalled even by the extraordinary efforts made during the war. At Devonport, too, in the store department, they seconded the exertions of the men of the flagship with the best possible effect ; but little could be expected from the shipwrights when the building of the SO-gun ships absorbed so much the strength of that department. The exertions made at Woolwich Dockyard we are bound especially to commend ; for, in. fitting the Odin steam frigate from a mere shell to a sea-going ship in comparatively a few hours, they earned the highest praise from the Admiralty, and the warmest thanks of the Government. The officers and men of the victualling department have richly merited the great credit which has been given to them. Day and night they have kept the machinery going, baking biscuit and grinding wheat, barley, and meal ; and while they have been fil ling the provision-ship in the most expeditious manner, the quality of the biscuit made at the Clarence and the Royal William establishments is of the first description. Upon carefully reviewing, then, the whole service in connexion with the succours provided for and conveyed to the destitute population of Ireland end Scotland, 'whether we regard the chief dirsktion of that service by the AdmiNy, or the appropriation of the vessels and the arrangement of their stations—the commanding and navigating the various vessels engaged—the repairing, fitting, and storing them, or the preparation of the pro visions for their shipment—to the Admiralty first, and secondly to their efficient departments, a deep debt of gratitude from the public is owing STEAM-VESSELS. The Terrible, steam frigate, w. zr—ff : charge, is at \Voolwieh preparing to rocas e sted fur conveyance and distribution to Ireland.

The National publishes the following strange epistle, which it has received from Mdlle. Lola Montez. It is dated Munich, 16th. A portion of it is very similar to what is stated in her letter to the Times, but as others are new, we give the article as we find it in the National:— " Sir,—l have read in your journal infamous articles against my person, and against one of the most just and most noble of Kings. Far from complaining of them, I rather congratulate myself on an aggression which gives me the opportunity of enlightening you with respect to me. Knowing so well your fairness as to be assured • that you will consider it a duty to defend a woman, ex posed to the infernal intrigues of the Jesuits, and of their blind partisans, I hope that you will also be kind enough to insert the present letter in one of the earliest numbers of your journal. Arrived at Munich towards the commencement of the month of October of last year, I soon saw with astonishment the Jesuits exer cised a fatal and immense influence in the city, as well as in all Bavaria. Having loudly declared myself against such an abuse, and being ignorant that the last Ministry conformed itself to their principles, I saw myself imper ceptibly and adroitly exposed to the cruel intrigues of which the disciples of Loyola are capable, without having given cause for them by my own conduct. Since then every day brought new attempts ; calumny in all its forms was employed; I received menaces of being poisoned, assassinated ; every day insulting letters, bearing my signature, were addressed to the most respectable persons of the capital, in order to excite them against me. Even an offer of a life income of 50,000 f. was made to me if I would consent to disap pear without noise, but I refused the proposition with indignation. His Majesty the King haring, of his own free will, dismissed a professor of the University belong ing to the Jesuits' party, I was assailed in the house I inhabit by a mob which was paid by them, and though I had never meddled in any matter which concerned the Government, I saw myself exposed to the danger of being stoned to death. Happily the good aense of the inhabitants of Munich, and the wise measures of the authorities, soon reduced the mob to order. This state ment of facts proves sufficiently the injustice that the newspapers have done me. If I had had any influence, and if I had consented to use it on behalf of my enemies, instead of being persecuted as I am now, they would not have failed to declare me the heroine of their patron, and then there would have been not only a Saint Igna tius Loyola, but, according to their proverb that' the end sanctifies the means,' they would have proclaimed a Sancta Lola !

BAPTISM OF A Jaw.—Wednesday morning, between 2,000 and 3,000 persons attended at Craven Chapel, Regent street, to witness the interesting ceremony of a converted Israelite being publicly baptised. A devotional service hav ing been held, the convert, a young man, named Joseph Bremner, was led into the pulpit, where he was interrogated by the Rev. Dr. Liefchild as to his views of the Christian religion, to which he gave the most satisfactory answers. He stated that his father and mother were both of the Jewish persuasion, and that he had been brought up in the strictest forms of that religion. When lie was sixteen years of age his father died, and two years after his mother also died. Ile and his two brothers were then left in the care of some relatives until they became of age, when they came into possession of their property left them by their parents. After some time the three separated, each taking a different route. The elder brother came to England, and, under a clergyman, conviction was brought home to him that the religion he hail been following was not right, and lie embraced Christianity. The convert was then baptised by the Doctor in the name of the Trinity. FIRE AT TIIE 'WESTMINSTER FRENCH PROTESTANT CI I:ROlL—Wednesday forenoon, shortly after the commence ment of divine service in the Westminster French l'rotes tent Church, Bloomsbury-street, St. Giles'a, the congregation was thrown into a state of considerable alarm, by a report being raised that the sacred edifice had taken fire. It ap pears that for some few minutes a strong smell of burning wood was experienced, but nothing particular was thought of that circumstance, until dense bodies cf smoke commenced issuing from under the flooring boards. It then became ap parent that a fire was burning under the floor of the building. The service was immediately stopped, and several persons having procured buckets of water, they were discharged upon that portion of the church on fire. At the same time intel ligence of the outbreak was sent to the engine stations. Numerous engines of the brigade quickly attended, and the firemen, upon removing some of the flooring boards, found that the joisting, &c., had become ignited, owing to a defect in the hot air fine used for warming the building, and there is no doubt that had the outbreak taken place at night, after the church was closed, that it would have been destroyed. As it is the damage is not very considerable. One of thetire tiheeer'l w as i t lie mail iai t l ook at fire men was left to watch the spot and the service was res ulte d.
