REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION. A striking instance of the power of scientific art to , remedy t he defects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, - a gentleman residing at Worthatn, In Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, ta_srettlrning from Ilarlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re d, sustained Sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an M ates' of several months' duration, during which period his hair con tinned 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, Men clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try th e effect of ROWLAND'S MACA SSAR 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 early and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for 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 Snakes it beauthully 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 MACASSAR OIL is sold by the proprietors, at 20, lIATTON-GARDEN LONDON, anot all respectable Chemists and rerfhiners.

PORTIVIOUTII, MONDAY.—The Sidon steam-frigate, Capt. Henderson, was docked this morning, to have some of the pipes which are under water cleared, and her bottom broomed down. She is ordered peremptorily to be ready for service by the Ist of March. The African steam-tug returned from the Sphynx on Friday night, and proceeded again to her on Saturday, tow ing a mooring-lump, and the camel which is to be applied to her head. She also took down Mr. Bellamy, the second mast.ir attendant, and a number of extra hands to assist in heaving her off. Yesterday morning, before daylight, the Emerald tender, with Mr. Biddlecombe, master of the flag ship, who had been employed in sounding for, and buoying off, a channel through which to heave the Sphynx off, re turned into harbour. The Drake lighter, with about 15 tons of her machinery, including her flume' and steam-pipes, also came in in the night. They brought news that she floated on Saturday, and was hove out about twenty feet. The weather, which has been hitherto remarkably favour able, with the wind northerly and north-west, changed yesterday morning, between two and three o'clock, to a fresh breeze from W.S.W., with rain, which continued during the day. Should this last, we much fear all hope of saving the vessel must be abandoned. There are strong symptoms at present of an approaching westerly or south westerly gale. The Echo returned this morning from the wreck, and re ports that the rollers having set in on the change of wind, stopping near the wreck was out of the question. She lost two punts or camels, and also reports that the wreck has been driven back in shore, and broadside on, so that there are but faint hopes now of saving even the hull. The Echo is coaling, preparatory to making another trip ; and the Drake has gone down to pick up what she can of the ma chinery, &c. Mr. Bellamy, the assistant-master-attendant of this dock yard, has gone down again this afternoon in the Echo to the wreck of the Sphynx. We learn that the two "camels" intended to go under the sponsons of the steamer, broke adrift on Saturday night, from the ring• bolts drawing, but have since been picked up and taken into Yarmouth Roads. I By a letter from the Cormorant steam•sloop.

The Fisgard experienced a heavy thunder-storm whilst lying at Nisqually, on the evening of the 26th of September last, during the prevalence of which her mainmast was struck by lightning; the electric fluid passed down the conductor (she is fitted with Harris's), and by it out on each side of the ship, causing a tremendous ex plosion, but no damage was sustained either by the mast or the ship. Two persons were struck down by the violence of the shock. It is considered the conductors saved the ship. AMERICAN NEWS. The foliowing are some additioal particulars, brough by the Hibernia, which did not appear in our yesterday morning's edition : It is most satisfactory to be en.bled to report that the improvement in the exchange on Eigland is fully established. The latest quotation at New York for the steamer Hibernia, was 106 i, and a large business ras done. The gold taken out by the Hibernia had the immediate effect of turning the balance of trade, or, at all events of making it a matter of doubt whether further shipment, of specie would render a profit to the English exporter. The further supply' of 300,0001., sent out by the Cambric, will give a large amount to draw against, and must tend torelieve anxiety on this side as to future requirements of bullim. The proceedings of Congress vesent no features of parti cular note. In the Senate, on the 25th ult., Mr. Benton, on leave, made a speech in vindication of the President for having proposed the creation a' the office of Lieutenant- General of the army. The plan,he stated, was his, not the President's. In September the 'resident had offered him the mission to France, which he positively declined. In No vember he sent for him, and asked his opinion relative to the future conduct of the war. He (Mr. Benton) gave his plan, and afterwards put it in writing but would not disclose it. He would say, however, that it required one head for the whole army, and that the war should he prosecuted vie rously, living on the enemy, ant levying contributions. (..? neral Jackson had offered him tie command of the army in 1836, in case of war with Mexico. In 1812, he (Mr. Benton) was the military superior of every general new in the ser vice. He mentioned these things only to vindicate the Pre sident. On the 27th the Treasury Note Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Cilley's resolution to withdraw the troops from Mexico was taken up, and after some remarks, Mr. Cilley made an explanation, and the resolution was laid on the table—yeas, 44; nays, 0. In the House on the same day, Mr. King. of Georgia, offered a joint resolution, which was passed, directing the President to procure gold and silver medals for the officers and the men of the French, Spanish, and English vessels of war, who aided in rescuing the seamen of the brig Somers. The Bill to increase the pay of and grant bounty land to the regulars and volunteers of the army was finally passec by 171 to 18. Mr. Schenck monad a sus pension of the riles to introduce his resolution relative to the withdrawal of the troops from Mexico to the east bank of the Rio Grande, which was negatived by a vote of 28 to 150. The two Senate amendments to the Treasury Note Bill were agreed to. In the Senate on the 28th, Mr. Upham presented a resolu tion from the Legislature of Vermont against the Mexican war and the acquisition of slave territory. The Committee on:Naval Affairs reported a Bill to provide for the construction of four steam-ships-of-war. Mr. Niles offered a resolution declaring it necessary to raise an additional revenue of 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 dolls. annually, by increasing the duties on articles now taxed, and imposing duties on those now free, to meet the expenses of the war. The following important resolutions had passed the State Legislature of New York by a vote of 23 to 6 : " Resolved—That, as war now exists between the United States and Mexico, it is the imperative duty of every citizen of this country to sustain its Government in all proper mea sures for the prosecution of the war, in such a manner as our national honour aid interests demand, until it shall be ter minated by an honourable peace. " Resolved—That no peace with Mexico can be regarded as honourable to the United States which shall not secure from that republic full indemnity fur the aggressions which it has committed upon the rights of this country aid its citinens. " Resolved—That if any territory is hereafter acquired by the ;United States, or annexed thereto, the act by which such territory is acquired or annexed, whatever such act may be, should contain an unalterable fundamental article or provision whereby slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, shall be for ever excluded from the territory acquired or annexed. " Resolved—That the Senators in Congress from this state be instructed, and that the Representatives in Congress from this state be requested, to use their best efforts to carry into effect the views expressed in the foregoing resolutions. " Resolved—That the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the Assembly be requested to transmit a copy of the foregoing resolutions to each of the said Senators and Representatives. The following resolutions upon the same subject have been passed in both branches of the Pennsylvania Legisla ture—in the House by a vote of 96 to 0, and in the Senate yeas 24, noes 3 : " Whereas, the existing war with Mexico may result in the acquisition of new territory to the Union ; "And whereas, measures are now pending in Congress having in view the appropriation of money, and the con ferring authority upon the treaty-making power to this end ; therefore, " Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met,—That our Senators in Congress be instructed, and our Representatives requested, to vote against any measure what ever by which territory will accrue to the Union, unless as a part of the fundamental law upon which any compact or treaty for this purpose is based, slavery or involuntary servi tude, except for crime, shall be for ever prohibited. " Resolved,—That the Governor be requested to forward a copy of the foregoing resolution to our Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress." We copy from the Philidelphia North American the fol lowing statement " The Secretary of the Treasury will recommend an in crease of 10 per cent. on coal, and 10 per cent. on iron— generally, a reduction of 10:per cent. on sythes, axes, loc., upon which he says the revenue is depreciated by prohibi tion, and in which he is decidedly mistaken, for the policy has not been fairly tested. He will also recommend 30 per cent. increase on refined sugar. It will be seen that these concessions are made for political effect in Pennsylvania and Louisiana. Some of the other schedules are changed to effect other latitudes. He renews the applications made to the House for a tax of 20 per cent. on tea and coffee. Whatever may be the fate of the last proposition, I regard the others to be entirely out of the question." In the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on the 23d ult., the Bill for providing for the payment of the in terest falling due on the state debt on the Ist of February and Ist of August next, and appropriating 2,000,000 dolls. for those purposes, was read a second and third time and passed. Commodore Connor had dispersed the Teasels of the squadron along the Mexican coast, so as to effectually and rigorously blockade it. The Americans had cap tured, under a heavy fire, a vessel that was attempting to land her cargo at Anton Lizardo. From California there is no late intelligence. Nothing had been heard of General Kearney since he left Santa Fe with a small escort of dragoons to cross the continent of Monterey, on the Pacific. Accounts from Santa Fe to November 29, 1846, state that about 400 of the Mormon troops had left that place on the 18th fur California, under the command of Colonel Cook. From Canada we have late accounts, but the contents are uninteresting. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS . BRISTOL, YEBILUART lb.

The first is, that if railways in Ireland were at once undertaken upon a large scale, English navvies' would be brought in by con tractors, and by superseding the labour of the country, greatly decrease the relief thereby sought to be given to the existing distress. For the greater part of the last five years I have been living near Londonderry, executing very large works, which are peculiarly adapted to the labourers of that country, when once they are taught, and which a very few weeks serve to accomplish, namely, the making of very large embankments to reclaim land from the sea, and on the Lon donderry and Coleraine Railway. On commencing there I found the difficulties almost intuperable, from the total unac ' quaintance of the people with the nature of such works ; I for tunately persevered, and with beneficial results to them and to myself. I brought over a few experienced gangers, who, in a few weeks, instructed the more intelligent, who, in their turn, taught others; and the men now employed are almost exclu sively Irish, and are quite capable of executing any works of the sort. I have now about 1,000 men employed, and if the company would furnish the means, I could at once greatly increase the number, and in a month or six weeks from this time I could take on between 3,000 and 4,000 more, and to enable me to do this, I should not require additional English labourers of any description. There are some works in which it is the interest of contractors to employ high-priced labour; these works, from the nature of the country, are al most unknown on the Irish railways. I have, on the Coleraine line, I believe, almost the only tunnel in Ireland, which is a very difficult one, being nearly 1,000 yards in length, though the solid basalt rock. To commence it, I brought over some experienced men, and added the necessary number of local labourers, who very soon became sufficiently expert to con tinue the works without such supervision and assistance. All the Englishmen but three have returned to England,— the works, with this exception, are carried en exclusively by Irishmen, entirely to my satisfaction and to that of the resi dent engineer of the company. Many of those men are noiv earning three shillings per day, and several men have left me at different times to undertake sub-contracts in other places, for which shey have become capable, after two or three months' instruction, although previously totally unac customed to the work. The works, generally, on this line are of a difficult descriptien.%POn the Londonderry and En niskillen, fifteen miles of which are completed, there are still 45 miles to make, the works being of the ordinary description, and upon which some thousands of Irish labourers could be immediarely and beneficially employed. The number of Eng lishmen now employed by me does not exceed two and a half per cent. on the whole, and these are principally engine drivers and mechanics. Another objection raised is, that the counties through which the railways pass are not the most dis tressed, and therefore the works on them would not relieve those parts of the country which require it most. I believe that the comparatively small amount of distress, which till very lately existed in the neighbourhood of Londonderry, has arisen chiefly, if not solely, from the employment, at improved wages, on the works of the two railways connected with that city. I should add, that when I first went there the average price for labour was Is. per day, but that now, and for a long time past, it is Is. 6d. pl. day, and in many instances higher. I have always found that when I required an in crease of labourers the fact soon became known, and in a very short time they came out of Con naught and the western coast. If all the able-bodied men - remain in those parts, the farmers will of course employ them first, and thousands who can find no employment must be fed by charity, or starve ; whereas, if the able-bodied men came down to the railway works—which, from my own ex. perience, lam convinced they would, if they were certain of employment at good wages--they would afterwards return with their earnings, and, in the meantime, the farmers would absorb the whole or greater part of the remaining local labour, and the entire community would be benefited. Previously to going to Ireland, I had, during several years, very large con tracts, both on the London and Birmingham and the Bristol and Exeter Railways, exceeding in value 500,0001 , and having frequently employed above 3,000 men at one time. 1 mention this feet to satisfy your Lordship that I am not igno rant of the comparative difference between works of this sort in England and Ireland. In these observations which I thus venture respectfully to submit to your Lordship I feel satisfied that Mr. Dargan, who has the largest contracts in Ireland, and the ether large contractors in that country, would fully concur." THE IRISH PARTY AND THE PRESS. The Irish party have determined to exclude the represen tatives of the Press from their meetings, and have directed their secretary to furnish to one particular reporter an out line of their proceedings, who, on application, will give to the other reporters an account of what transpires. Such is the substance of a statement made to• day by Mr. Godley, the secretary, to a gentleman who attended from this office. The public, knowing the manner in which the reports of the proceedings of the Irish party are concocted, will rate those reports at their proper value, while we know from Scripture who are those who " like the darkness rather than the light."

Because, the formation of railways in Ireland would not only furnish employment to large numbers of persons, which would relieve the present distress, but would furnish also permanent employment in the maintenance and working of the railways when completed. 11. Because, railways in Ireland are desirable for the general convenience and advantage of the whole community of the United Kingdom. • 111. Because, railways when formed, would be property of a profitable nature, created by labour otherwise unem ployed. IV. Because, they can be constructed, and the people thus fed, not only without even the temporary abstraction of a single farthing from the public Treasury, or from the millions which are annually added to the wealth of this country, but may be made conducive to the increase of both. V. Because, the money for making the railways might be easily provided by the means of Exchequer notes of 11. each, bearing no interest, and receivable in taxes and other Govern ment payments, without cost to the Exchequer, and without disordering the national finances. VI. Because, on the contrary, the circulation of such Exchequer notes, by providing the wages of labour, would increase the consumption of exciseable articles, and thereby improve the national revenue. VII. Because, the necessity would thus be obviated of borrowing money in the market at interest, and thus (at 3fr per cent.), an annual burdea of 560,0001. would be saved to the country. VIII.

On Matclay evening an entertainment was given to Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Angel Inn, Islington, by his consti tuents, not only as a testimony of their approval of his political conduct, but of the way in which he has discharged his duties as coroner, and particularly of his mode of con ducting the proceedings of the inquest at Hounslow. Mr. Fielden, M.P., presided, and was supported by Mr. T. Dan combe, M.P., General Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P., Mr. Shar man Crawford, M.P., Mr. Williams, M.P., and several in fluential gentlemen not in Parliament. About eighty of the electors of the borough sat down to an exceedingly well arranged dinner. The moment the cloth was removed, The CHAIRMAN rose, and said that the first toast on his list was one which used to be drunk first in better times, viz., " The people, the just source of all political power." The toast was drunk with loud cheering. The next toast, " The Queen, and may she at all times faithfully fulfil the wishes of the people, and always set a good example to the aristocracy, amongst whom she held the highest rank," having been drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, The CHAIRMAN proposed the " Health of Mr. Wakley, the honest and fearless representative of the borough of Fins bury in Parliament." The toast was pledged amidst general and vehement cheering. Mr. WAKLEY commenced by acknowledging the kind and flattering manner in which they had received the toast. The Hon. Gentleman then described his own active life for nearly a quarter of a century, for twenty-three years of which ke had conducted a public journal, had beeu twelve years their representative, and for eight years coroner for a considerable portion of that county. He continued—the Reform Bill had not been attended with the good consequences some persons expected, and the House of Commons might still be named emphatically a bad house, and John Bull ought to be called John Cow, for he yielded to the pressure of taxation with akerely a grumble, but did not combine and agitate properly to make the Legislature act as it ought to do. Public spirit was not kept alive except when some great crisis occurred; in fact, John Bull seemed always to tie locking the door after the horse was stolen. He would not go through all the mis doings of the last Parliament, but merely state his opinion that it was not a good one for the people, and how it would end he knew not. The time would soon come when a grand national inquest would be held upon it. He was of opinion that the duration of Parliament should be shortened, the number of the electors should be increased in order to render them more independent, and that the vote by ballot was necessary, though the electors of Finsbury were able to do without it, and preferred going to the hustings and re cording their votes openly. The Hon. Member then alluded to the state of Ireland, which, he observed, showed how occupied people were in England. Proposals were now being made to send large grants of money to the sister country. Did the electors of Finsbury regret those grants ? No, they would not regret them if they saw that the result of them would be placing society in Ireland upon a just and safe footing. He would ask whether the proposals now made by Ministers had that ten dency? In his opinion they had not, and they would only make things worse. A small party of public men with whom he was connected had been for many years demand ing for Ireland ene thing—viz., a just and liberal poor-law; and, in the absence of it, every farthing sent to that country would be a robbery, because it would not be a benefit to the poor Irish, but to the Irish landlords only.—(Hear.) There were at that table six Members of the House of Comons, and he believed that every one of them took the same view as he did of the question.—( Hear, hear.) If such a state of things were permitted any longer, it would be a judgment on the whole community for their supineness. In the parish of St. Giles 27,0001. a year were collected for the relief of the poor, and during the last year he was told that 20,0001. out of that sum had been expended on the poor of Ireland. The truth was that the officers of that parish, seeing what would be the fate of the Irish if they were sent back to their own country, declined sending them there any longer. When a poor-law was spoken of for Ireland the Irish landlords contended that such a tax would amount to a confiscation of their property. All he could say was, " then lam for confiscation."—(Loud cheers.) If it is to be a question between the landlords of Ireland and the people of England who is to be robbed, I say, as one of the majority, let the minority be robbed.—(Loud cheers.) They have been long enough robbing us. He was told that if out-door relief was given to the Irish they would not work. He knew better ; they worked in this country, and they did not apply for relief as long as they could work. He could not help alluding to another proposal for the benefit of Ireland, viz , the loan of sixteen millions to make rail ways in a country were people were so poor that they had not money enough to pay the smallest passage fare. This was a scheme propounded by the leader of the Protectionist party. Really it was an Irish proposal, though some said it was concocted in the laud of Hudsonia. It was most ridi culous to say it was the relief of Ireland, when the truth was that it was intended for the benefit of Irish railway shareholders.--(Hear, hear.) He believed that the good sense of some of the Members of the House of Commons would prevent the passing of such a measure, and that it would not be revived in the House of Lords. The Hon. Member then alluded to the late judgment pronounced in the Court of Queen's Bench unfavourable to him, and having gone over the facts connected with the inquest at Honnslow, maintained that that judgment was delivered in ignorance, and that he would defend himself against the injustice, not only on the present occasion, but on a fitting opportunity elsewhere. Having thanked the electors for the honour they had done him, the Honourable Gentleman sat down amidst loud cheering. _ _ Some other members then addressed the company, who did not separate until a late hour. WESTMINSTER ELECTION- A meeting of electors for Westminster, who are the friends and supporters of Charles Lushington, Esq., one of the candi dates for the representation of that city in the ensuing Par liament, was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, on Monday evening, for the purpose of adopting the pia,ni nary measures necessary to ensure the election of that gen tleman. JOSEPH PARSES, Esq., having been called to the chair, observed that for many years past it had been the practice of the Liberal constituency of the city of Westminster to initiate all election proceedings through the agency of the Westminster Reform Society. That association having had communicated to them that it was the intention of Mr. Leader to withdraw from the representation of the city at the next general election, they had submitted to several well-known public men of tried talent certain questions, with a view to ascertain the most fit and proper person to fill the vacancy which Mr. Leader's retire ment would occasion. They had received answers from several gentlemen, and in the exercise of their judgment their choice had devolved upon Mr. Charles Lush ington.—(Cheers.) It was known that a very recent loss bad occurred in that gentleman's family, which prevented his attendance this evening; but a letter had been received from him explaining the cause of his absence, and reque s ti ng that he (the Chairman) would notify to the meeting the great disappointment he felt at being disabled from person ally acknowledging the kindness of those gentlemen who might attend as being friendly to his election. Mr. Lushing ten would, however, hold himself in readiness to appear at any future time when his presence might be required.— (Cheers.) The association had called the present meeting, not for the purpose of monopolising the power of the electors, but to adopt the initiatory steps that were necessary to a more general meeting. Mr. GEESIN proposed the first resolution, namely—" That Charles Lushington, Esq., is a fit and proper person to re present the city of Westminster in Parliament." The association of which the chairman had spoken had existed upwards of thirty-five years, and it was well known that before any candidate was entertained by that society, it was necessary that he should pledge himself to act in accordance with the views of the whole of the Liberal constituency of the city of Westminster, and not come forward, as it were, on his own account, without possessing the confidence of the association, although he might happen to be a supporter of the general principles put forth by them. He admitted that he had advocated the claim of Mr. George Thompson— (Hear, hear)—and he should have been proud to have seen that gentleman a candidate • but Mr. Thompson had been rejected by the Reform Society, and having himself acqui esced in that decision, rather than split the Liberal int eres t in Westminster, which he would have done to an amazing extent, he (Ur. Geesin) had no hesitation in proposing that Mr. C. Lushington was a fit and proper person to be their re presentative.— (Cheers.) They were aware that meetings had been held elsewhere in favour of another gentleman, whose name it was not worth while to mention ; but it should be observed that those meetings had not been attended by electors. Their resolutions, indeed, ran " we, the electors," but the party forming the meetings were no electors at all.— (Cheers and laughter.) The Reform Society had been com plained of, and they were accused of dictation; but it w . as not an exclusive society. Every elector was at li b er t y t j o i n i t if he thought proper; the charge of dictating, therefore, was unfounded. Mr. Pxotrr felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution, because he found from several interviews be had had with Mr. Lushington that that gentleman's political opinions were of a very liberal nature, and that he was one of those re formers who, in the olden times of Westminster, would have done great credit as the representative of that city.— (Cheers.) There were ten principal measures which Mr. Lushington was requested to give his opinion upon as to whether he concurred with the Liberal electors in regard to them or not, and his answer unequivocally was, that for many of them he had already voted in Parliament, and that for the whole of them he was prepared to vote on any occa sion.—(Cheers.) The points were-1. Vote by ballot. 2. Extension of the suffrage. 3. The repeal of the 27th clause in the Reform Act, which made the payrne it of rates and taxes before a particular day necessary to tl e obtaining the fran chise. 4. Trienial Parliaments. 5. Amo - e extensive reform of municipal corporations. 6. Repea Oft .e window and corn tax : the corn-tax was gone to the tomb of all the Capulets, and no doubt the window-tax wouk soo follow.—(Cheers.) 7. The abolition of all unmerited pet don . 8. The repeal of all taxes which impede the diffuisoli of knowledge. 9. The reform of the Church Establishmei t. And 10. The proper application of the funds known to ex at i i the country for the purposes of education. In all these measures Mr. Ltkil?ii_lg: ton concurred ; he therefore thought the meeting woultsTff no hesitation in adopting a proposition for the formati on and of a committee to conduct the election of that gentlema n, ) mr. Preut then bring it to a successful issue.—(C Cheers.) r ee aclrge Thompson, in read a letter addressed to him Lushington, whom--e experience, and tried ind - which that gentleynhaen d e clared describedbtY his )readinessa thorough me r a man of sound judgment, rkt, pendence."—(Cheers.)nanimo usly agreed to.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and, that Mr. Iloward's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.
