Under the Patronage of Royalty and the Aristocracy throughout Europe, and universally preferred and esteemed. rHE successful results of the last century have proved beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL possesses peculiarly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and improvement of the Human Hair, and is now universally , acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other prepa rations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandruff —and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth of the Beard, Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachios, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair. In dressing the hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcendent lustre. Price 35. 6d. and Is. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s. CAUTION.—On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words, "Rowlands' Macassar Oil," in two lines. A beautiful Complexion, and Soft Hands and Arms, are fully realised and sustained by the use of ROWLANDS' KALYDOR, an Oriental Botanical preparation which, by its action on the pores and minute secretory vessels of the skin, promotes a healthy tone, so essential to its general well-being and the beauty of its appearance. Freckles, Tan, Pimples, Spots, Discolouration, and other Cutaneous Visitations are eradicated by the RALYDOK, and give place to a radiant bloom and transparency of complexion. During the heat and dust of summer, and in cases of sunburn, stings of insects, or incidental inflammation, its virtues have long and extensively been acknowledged. Price 4s. Gd. and Ss. 6d. per bottle. Sound and White Teeth are not only indispensably requisite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are peculiarly appre ciated through life as highly conducive to health and longevity. Among the varied preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, OR PEARL DENTIFRICE, stands unrivalled. Prepared from Oriental Herbs with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions. and impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, re move spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, flx the teeth firmly in their sockets, and from its aromatic influence imparts sweetness and purity to the breath.

RAPID CURE OF COUGH & DIFFICULTY OF BREATHING. Hale, near Liverpool. Sir,—l write to inform you of the great benefit I have received from taking Locock's Wafers, which you recommended to me. I was so much oppressed at my chest that when I lay down a coughing fit came on with such violence that I have often thought I should not live to see the morning; but now I can sleep a whole night without coughing, after having taken only two boxes of wafers. _ J.

Gentlemen.—l have great pleasure in communicating to you a case (among many) which came under my own observation. A lady, who I can refer to, in her assidious attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not obtain any relief; when, upon the recommendation of a friend, she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commencement, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly cured. (Signed) THOMAS DEAN. ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS. Parliament-street, Liverpool. Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extraor dinary powers of Locock's Wafers. I had been troubled with a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief, when I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of which were soon visible, for one large box (2s. 9d.) has quite cured me. I have since recommended them to several of my friends, and they have also experienced the greatest relief from them. I remain yours, ever grateful, J. WILLIAMS. IMPORTANT TO' LL WHO SING. From Mr. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist of St. Peter's Catholic Church, Leamington. Gentlemen,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxation of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various pre parations; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr. Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to re sort to them, for the extrordinary good effects they have produced are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be com pletely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone, two or three (at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, com pletely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of it. EDWARD PAGE. To SINGERS and Pußtic SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as in a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power and flexibility of the voice. 'they have a pleasant taste.

Strahan, Paul, and Bates, who had also traded as Holford and Co., at the Bankruptcy Court. Numerous proofs were put in and admitted • amongst others by the following persons : —Rev. J. F. Bullock, Badminton; Mr. Bevan, banker, of Lombard street (on behalf of the Church Extension Society and the Hospital for Women) ; Rev. J. J. Hornby, rector of Winwick ; Mr. Reeve, publisher; Viscountess Sydney; the Rev. W. Sel wyn, Foxton ; Sir H. F. Shelley ; Hon. and Rev. H. Tolle mache, Harrington ; the Secretary to the Colonial and Foreign School Society • Baroness Seaborne ; Vice-Admiral B. Rey nolds ; Admi ra l B. Martin, &c. After some preliminary ques tions put respecting claims put in by bill-brokers, Mr. Bagley made an application on the part of Miss Burton, the daughter of a deceased general officer in the Royal Artillery, who had a claim against Holford and Co., for £3,300, to have the estates of the banking business and that of the navy agency kept dis tinct; it being understood that the estate of the navy agency is nearly solvent. The discussion of this question, a very im partant one to a large number of the creditors, was adjourned for a private meeting. The examination was then adjourned till the 11th of December; the allowance of £5 a week each to Mr. Strahan and Mr. Bates being ordered to be continued for a month. Sir J. Paul "having drawn a considerable sum from the bank just before the house stopped," no allowance was made to him. lfr• Lawrance then stated for the official as signees, that they proposed to enter claims at the dividend meeting on Friday, on behalf of the owners of the missing se curities, for the value of these securities as estimated at the date of bankruptcy, or at the time of their misapplication ; thus treating the loss of these securities, supposed to have been fe loniously disposed of, as debts against the estate. The as signees also proposed, Mr. Lawrance said, to enter claims on behalf of those officers, naval and military, who are now on foreign service, and who probably have no means of sending over their proofs. This was rather an unusual course, but they thought the case required it. The amount of proofs and claims made during the day against the joint estate was £ 53 : 5 00. The total debts and liabilities are stated at between 7C0,000 and £BOO,OOO. The assets absolutely in hand are £44,000; the amount expected to be realised about £lOO,OOO, or from 2s. to 3s. in the pound. THE great event of the week, absorbing all local interest, has been the visit of His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, on the anniversary of HER MAJESTY'S visit to Liverpool in 1851, and the advan tage which was taken of the opportunity to show by general rejoicings, the popular appreciation of the all-important fall of Sebastopol. The Royal Duke arrived on Tuesday, and, having received at the Town hall a loyal address from the Corporation, proceeded, in company with the Chief Magistrate, the Earls of DERBY and HARDWICKE, and other Gentlemen, to visit the principal institutions of the town. Never was a wel come so universally cordial, so warmly enthusiastic. The streets, broad and narrow---the back lanes as well as the main thoroughfares---were gorgeously decorated with flags, banners, streamers, and devices innumera ble, all speaking one voice, and rich and poor vieing with each other in doing all honour to the distin guished visitor to the capital of commerce. His progress was like a triumphal pageant through dense crowds of all ranks, who betokened by their smiling faces the universality of their joy, and rent the air with shouts of welcome. Well may the hero of Alma and Inkerman have felt proud of his countrymen, when he met with a reception which far exceeded all that the most sanguine, who knew the loyalty of the men I of Liverpool, had ventured to anticipate. There was no mistaking the feeling which prompted the display : it was exhibited from every house-top, the humblest as well as the stateliest ; it shone in every countenance; it was heard in every sound, even in the reports of small firearms which, in defiance of police regulations, were discharged in every street. If any doubt could linger as to the popularity of the war in that port of England where commerce must be most affectok by its operations, such doubts must be blown to the winds by the joyous welcome given to the Duke of CAMBRIDGE in the town of Liverpool. Tuesday was devoted to the objects of interest on shore ; but on Wednesday his Royal Highness was borne on the noble estuary of the Mersey, in that matchless steamboat the Countess of Ellesmere. Here the signs of welcome were not less enthusiastic than on the land. The line of docks, stretching for miles along the Lancashire shore, presented a forest of masts, sporting flags of most nations, their gaudy colours flaunting in the bright sunshine; every vessel in the river was decked from her truck to her taffrail ; along both shores were similar displays ; each place, from which a view could be obtained, was crowded with excited spectators, whose throats aided by joyous shouts the booming of guns from impromptu batteries; the unrivalled pilot boats, with their smartly painted hulls, were ranged in line ; and as the swift steamer, with her Royal freight, proceeded from point to point of the world-famous harbour, she was accom panied by many others bearing crowds of delighted participators in the exhilarating pageant. From Eastham to the Rock Light, this noble port presented a scene unrivalled in that magnificence which is pe culiarly characteristic of commercial England ; and nothing the most fastidious could wish for was left undone : even the sun shone brightly on the pageant, and a fresh breeze from the north-west lent its aid to flutter h e vi st of h every i ensign,te DUKE o andgive rc Amj3R animation Iu CAMBRIDGE o Et the o scene. T Liver pool will long be hallowed among the pleasures of memory, not only by the illustrious Prince, but by all who took part in it. It may truly be said to have afforded unalloyed satisfaction, with nothing to dis turb the general harmony, which was its greatest value as a demonstration of popular feeling. It was gratifying in every point of view ; and Liverpool has abundant reason to be proud of her population. In their reception of the DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, they testified not only their respect for the hero of Alma and Inkerman, who had borne his share in the great struggle in the Crimea, but also their loyalty for the illustrious House of which he is so worthy a scion. They also demonstrated their approval of the war in which the country is engaged with Russia their grateful appreciation of the advantage gained by' the capture of Sebastopol ; and, lastly, the respect entertained for the CHIEF MAGISTRATE, whose recom mendations to make a general holiday, to decorate the vessels and buildings with flags by day, and illumina tions by night, were carried out with a zeal and unanimity beyond all praise. It was in the fullest sense of the term a popular demonstration ; all classes shared in the festivity, and it has therefore passed off leaving no regrets. AUTUMN FASHIONS.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1855. THE VISIT OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. MINISTERIAL CHANGER IT has been rumoured within the last few days, and the rumour is believed to have some foundation in fact, that a new combination of political parties is on the eve of accomplishment, and that the object is the displacement of the Palmerston Administration by one nominally, at least, more Conservative. This new alliance, which is more than hinted at, is the adhesion of the Peelite section, represented by Mr. GLADSTONE, and the Peace faction, represented by Mr. BRIGHT, with Mr. DISRAELI as one of the recognised leaders of the Conservative party. A prominent feature in the policy of such a combination would of course be a speedy termination to the War, and peace at any price be a main if not an acknowledged principle. Thus much at least states the rumour, and it has undergone discussion as though it were based upon some foundation of truth. We do not, however, believe it to be true, or even probable. There is, perhaps, no feeling which animates so pro minently the Conservative party as that of determi nation tp prosecute the War with vigour, and it is [OCTOBER 16, 1866• this which has excited so mu ch indignation 41Jst _ the late and present Ministers , be cause no confide! has been placed in their professions and no belief ba: been entertained of their sincerity. We e ann ., believe that Mr. DISRAELI woul d commit such a:, act of political suicide as to league with the bittert foes of true Conservative principles for the attemPul gratification of mere personal ambition ; and eve . such political treachery were possible , it is absurd to suppose that the Conservatiyss as a partY, follow their leader in such a course, or consent_ ,ia); one instant to accept the plausible sophisms of t ,. Peelites, or the craven theories of the Peace-mouge..l Had Mr. GLADSTONE and his friends afforded measure of support to the Earl of DEBBY'S glauin; tration in 1852, which the latter had a expect, we could have imagined a political allist:ld honourable alike to both parties, because they main principles in common, and differed onV. details.
