FINE FLOWING RINGLETS.—The care of the Hair in Infants and Young Children is, by inexperienced mothers and nurses, too little regarded. No mistake can be more injurious than the supposition that neglect in this particular can continue with impunity. The seeds of strength or weakness are laid in the nursery ; and the majority of the fine flowing ringlets, or bald heads of after Years, are traceable to this early period. OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA, long celebrated for its genial and invigorating qualities, in promoting and restoring the growth of the hair is peculiarly fitted (applied according to the printed directions) fo r app li cat i on during the tender years ofinfancy and childhood ; and no nursery where personal ad vantages are held in any estimation, should be without it. Price Is. 6d., 65., and I Is. p er Bottle; no other prices are ge nuine. Askfor OLDRIDGE'S BALM, Wellington-strand, London. Sold by all respectabl e Ch em i sts, Perfumers, and . - Stationers.

A PAMPHLET "On the GREATEST DISCOVERY 1 - 1. of the AGE," (says Coordnn,) that is, "that the BRAIN is the seat of all Nervous or Mental Complaints." This was made by Dr. Willis Moseley, (of Cambridge University,) before Gall, and on his successful treatment of these complaints, with cases, testimonials, &c., and will frank it to every address if a stamp is enclosed to IS, Bloomsbury-street, Bedford-square, London. And if 16 stamps are sent, he will return the sth edition of his large work, 12 CHAPTERS on the CURE of NERVOUS or MIND COMPLAINTS, with a Chapter on Self-management. This work is declared by Professor Savage, Surgeon, to be the best book we have on Nervousness. At home from 11 to 3. .." This GREAT ANATOMICAL DISCOVERY was followed by his second great discovery. The means of removing all Ner vous or Mental Disease. By these discoveries he cured himself of a deep rooted Nervous Complaint of 14 years duration. And, as 30 years ago nobody could cure these complaints, or can now, but himself, he has for 30 years cured them from benevo lence rather than gain; and, out of 14,000 nobles, nobleses, M.P.'s, admirals, generals, barristers, clergymen, physicians, surgeons, tradesmen, &c. &c., he knows not 20 uncured who have followed his advice. AU therefore may now apply per sonally, or by letter, with more confidence of a cure than of tooth ache, and especially of mental depression, debility and exhaustion, delusions, blood to the head, vertigo, groundless fear, failure of memory, incapacity for study, business, &c., inquietude, wretchedness, indecision, melancholy, thoughts of self-destruction, involuntary blushing, blasphemous thoughts, sleeplessness, &c. Insanity can be cured with almost equal certainty. "THE GREATEST BENEFIT MAN CAN BESTOW ON MAN IS TO E A SE AND HEAL HIS DISTRESSED MIND." This has been the delightful employment of the Rev. Dr. Willis Mosely for 30 years ; and among the thousands he has cured of Nervousness, he with pleasure names a late Member of Parliament, who after having 30 physicians in vain for five years, avowed his cure, and presented the Doctor with a check of £250, and a niece of the late Lord Hill, who had been ner vous 30 years, Sir J. B—, the wife of Capt. 5- d, Sir David L—, Mr. B—, of Luton, Miss J—, of Dublin, and Lady Hart land after Marsh, Crampton, Esquerol, and Penel tried six years in vain; Admiral P—, Plymouth, Rev. W.

JOSH. MALLABY, Clerk to the Company. PARR'S LIFE PILLS. THE POPULAR MEDICINE. THE following important testimony to the efficacy of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, has jnst been received by the Proprietors : " To Messrs. T. Roberts and Co., London. " Athlone, December 7th, 1846. "Sirs,--You will please send me six dozen more PARR'S LIFE PILLS ; I am just out. They are taking well, and I can assure you. they are doing au immensity of good ; every one who has tried them in affections of the Liver and the Stomach derive a great deal of benefit.—Tours, &c., " WILLIAM GI LCH RIST, Apothecary and Surgeon." The extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus de scribed by an eminent physician, who says " After particular observation of the action of PARit's PILLS I am determined in my opinion that the following are their true properties : " kirst,—They increase the strength, while most other medi cines have a weakening effect upon the system, Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twenty-four hours, and, instead of having weakened, they will be found to have revived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body. " Secondly,—ln their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect ; the disease upon you will became less and less by every dose you take, and if you will persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will be entirely removed from the system. "Thirdly,—They are found, after giving them a fair trial for a few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigorating properties, and they will overcome all obstinate complaints, and restore sound health ; there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use, whilst their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to he injurious instead of beneficial. " Fourthly,—As a general Family Medicine they are exceed. ingly valuable, and no family should be without them, for they may be used with perfect safety in any disease, for to every disease they are of inestimable value. John Dale, Esq., of Manchester, Lecturer on Chemistry, and pupil of the celebrated I Dr. Dalton, F.R.S., in a letter, addressed to the Proprietor, in London, says :--` I beg to state I find them worthy of being recommended to the public for their efficacy and simplicity, and to be really vegetable pills, containing, as they do, nothing but what is of vegetable ongin.' - With this assurance the pub lic need have no fear of giving them a fair trial. " Fifthly,—There is no medicine ever introduced to the public that Las become so universally popular with females as PARR'S LIFE LILLS. For all complaints peculiar.to females they are of most astonishing efficacy; and they are confidently recom mended to them for general use. A trial of a box of these pills will at once prove the truth of this assertion." Beware of spurious imitations of the above medicine. None are genuine unless the words " PARR'S LIFE PILLS" are in WHITE LETTERS ON A REI) GROUND, engraved on the Go vernment Stamp, pasted round each box. by y So a l l d l r in es b p o e x ct e a s b a le t . throughout the kingdom.--Directions are given with each bo x . a9n(le MACLURE, MACDONALD, AND MACGREGOR, LITHOGRAPHERS.

Just Published, Fifth Thousand, and may be had - port NOTHING, a PAMPHLET, on MIND an d I: NERVOUS COMPLAINTS, and on the new and only successful means of curing those obstinate maladies, as disco vered and employed by Mr. WM. ADAMS, 23, Doughty-street, Mecklenburgh-square, London. There are hundreds of persons who, in the midst of plenty, are harrassed and annoyed by an endless variety of anomalous and painful feelings, which embitter existence, render life a daily misery, and convert even social endearments into sources of irritation and pique. Such are solicited to read the above Pamphlet. In it they will perceive the necessity for and the advantages of immediate recourse to the treatment, sanctioned by experience and by the testimonials of the cured. Will be sent to any address, post paid, on receipt of two stamps. TERMS.—The means of Cure can be sent to all parts of the world, with full directions, and the patient cured at home, or more expeditiously by a temporary residence in London. The only charge made is the averaged cost price of the means of Cure—One Guinea per week. Respectable but poor persons pay only half of the averaged cost price—Haifa Guinea per week. TESTIMONIALS OF TOL PUBLIC PRESS. " There are no diseases which have more puzzled the faculty than nervous complaints and insanity. Doctors have both been unable to account for them and to prescribe any means of cure. This darkness has, however, been cleared away by the clever author of the above pamphlet, in which he explains his theory of cure in a very rational manner, and we feel certain that it will induce many to apply to Mr. Adams for his assistance."—The Chronicle, Dec., 1846. " We cordially recommend all nervous persons to submit their cases to the skill of Mr. Adams, the author of a pamphlet on Mind or Nervous Complaints and Insanity."—Farmer's Journal, July, 1816. " A most useful and important pamphlet."—London Mer cantile Journal, Sept., 1846. " We recommend Mr. Adams to those of our readers who are nervous, and wish to be cured."—Bcdfcrd Times, Oct., 1846. fit. COCKLE'S PILLS fo r INDIGESTION, _al BILIOUS HEADACHE, &c. " Wbens rank or title, station, state, or wealth, " To that far greater worldly blessing health? 6 ' What'shouse, or land, or dress, or wine, or meat, " If one can't rest for pain —nor sleep —nor eat— " Nor go about in comfort ? Here's the question ; " What's all the world without a good digestion." By Indigestion is usually understood functional disturbance of the Stomach, Liver, &c. These organs are so intimately associated in reference to their 4etion, and soieciprocally de pendent, that any disorder occurring in the one must implicate, more or less, the other. By way of illustration :—suppose the liver to be torpid, and secretingless bile than usual—the bowels then become inactive from the loss of their appropriate stimu lus, and suffer accumulation to take place. Again :—as a consequence of this latter condition the functions of the stomach also become disordered, and less of appetite, nausea, and oppression supervene. At length from theSe multiplied local errors, constitutional disturbance is set up, inducing various sympathetic nervous affections : the key to the alle viation of which is the knOwledge that disorders of the digestive organs are the initial acts in the production of such phe nomena. To the immediate subjects of these observations, Mr. COCKLE'S COMPOCND ANTIBILIOUS PILLS are especially recommended. By combining aromatic, tonic, and aperient properties, they remove all oppressive accumulations, regulate the secretion of the liver, strengthen the stomach, induce a healthy appetite, and impart tranquillity to the nervous system. Prepared by JAMES COCKLE, Sirgeon and Apothecary, 18, New Ormond-street, London • and may be had of all re spectable Medicine Vendors, in Boxes, at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. _ Dr. Collier's Testimonial in favour of CocK LE'S PILLS must be admitted to be highly satisfactlry, and will be read with much interest. • The following is an extract from the second edition (page 188) of the translation of the New Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of PhysiCians of London, by Dr. G. F. COLLIER, pub lished by Longman and Co.:— " It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the NEW PHA RmAcoecEin) that we have no purgative medicines but what contains aloes ; yet we know that hwmorrhoiclal per sons cannot bear aloes, EXCEPT it be in the form of Cockle's Pills, which chiefly consist of aloes, scammony, and colocynth, which I think are formed into a sort of compound extract, the acridity of which is obviated, I suspect, by an alkaline profess, and by a fourth ingredient (unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic nature. I think no better and no worse o! it for its being a patent medicine. I look at it as an article of commerce and domestic convenience, and do not hesitate to say, it is the best made pill in the kingdom ; a muscular purge, a mucous purge, and a hydrogogue purge combined, and their effects properly controlled by a dirigent and corrigent. That it does not com monly produce haemorrhoids, like most aloetic pills, I attribute to its being thoroughly soluble, so that no unnissolved particles adhere to the mucous membrane of the rectum." NOTE.—Purchasers of Cockle's Pills ought particularly to examine the Government stamp affixed to each box, and to see that the words "JAMES COCILLE, APOTHECARY," are en graved upon it in white letters, a§ - without this mark of authen ticity none•carr possibly be genuine.

Aldam, the liberal member for that town. Mr. E. Baines was one of the number, and presented to the hon. gentleman a memorial, signed by only 800 electors, out of a constituency of 4,000, against the government education plan. Mr. Aldam said he would sive the memorial his best attention, but he could not hold out the hope of going to the length of the principles which acre expressed in it. DEATH AT A BALL.—On Tuesday a festive party given by Lieut.-Col. Fitzmaurice, at his residence in Berkeley street, Cheltenham, was shocked by the awfully sudden death of one of the guests, a young lady, named Quinear, who had formerly been a governess in the family.. The deceased had after supper danced a quadrille, and had just partaken of an ice, when she was suddenly taken ill, became insensible, and, though a medical gentleman was present as one of the party, she expired within a few minutes. EMIGRATION.—The tide of emigration from Ireland has set in. The report from Nenagh says, " thousands are leaving the country in every direction." On Thurs - - day and Friday upwaads of 1,000 emigrants left the port of Waterford. From the village of Castlecomer, Kil kenny, no less than 150 persons left for Quebec ; and it is said that the means of emigrating will be supplied to, about 1,300 persons. Many of the emigrants are of a. respectable class, but numbers are also of a most wretched description. Cork, Derry, Limerick, Sli , To—in short, all the seaports—are sending forth emigrants to America, in numbers never before approached. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLING £9ooo.—The Dublin City Grand Jury have found true bills against Mr. Henry Lananze, "for embezzling and converting to his own use £9OOO, the property of Mr. Clayton Brown, of Browne's hill, in the county of Carlow." The particulars of this case, which will come on for trial in a clay or two, are shortly these :—The prosecutor, Mr. Browne, some years back, entrusted the traverser, Mr. Lananze, who was a most eminent stockbroker and notary public, carrying on business in College-green, with the sum of money in question, to invest in Government stock, which he lately found was not invested as directed, but lodged solely in his own name; in consequence of which he had the power of withdrawing it, and had withdrawn it, and converted it to his own use shortly previous to the failure of his business in January last.- WHOLESOME AD VICE.—At the Roman Catholic Chapel. in Tralee, on lady-day, the Rev. Dr. M'Enery is reported to have addressed the congregation as follows :—" Inter ested and designing knaves have told you you were the finest peasantry on earth; those who told you so were im postors. You are a patient people, warm-hearted and religious ; but you are an unenlightened people, not half educated, and very few degrees removed from barbarism. * * * The time is arrived when you must help your selves, and thefirst step .to that is to till the ground. * * Sympathizing nations feel your sufferings, and are ready to assist you. • But if you do not shake off this apathy, this torpor, which seems to be taking possession., of your very souls, and do all in your power to produce food for the next year, instead of exciting their sympathy, you will arouse their contempt, and you will become a by word to the nations of the earth, as a lazy, indolent, mean people, who would rather trust to the bounty of others than exert themselves." THE UNIVERSAL ECONOMIC BURNER.--The advancement of science is a subject to which we ever devote our most ardent attention ; and nothing of late has given us more satisfaction, either in principle or in utility, than that of the universal burner, an invention that is not only scientific, but so eco mises the use of gas as to render it publicly beneficial. Its adaption is entirely novel, the great feature of the patent being that of rarifying the gas previous to its being admitted to com bustion, which is a desideratum not hitherto attained. We shall describe this burner more minutely next week. In the meantime, our readers may see it burning in our publishing office. ELECTRO SILVER.—There is no subject, we believe, less un derstood by the public generally, than that connected with the recent improvement in electro-plate. The attempts that were made some years ago to imitate the sterling metal, proved in a measure abortive, losing their colour. and becoming perfectly useless when submitted to acids; invention , ho we v er, movin g on the wing of time, has altered the position of metals, the original plating on copper has been entirely dispensed with, and supplanted by the application of . silver by a galvanic pro cess to a metal, the base of which is composed ufap7ified material and of the same colour throu g h o ut, so that w hen the silver is worn off sr:tree)), a ny difference in appearance is per ceptible. But as Mr. Hand, whose advertisement appears in another column, gives the fullest particulars, we ref er our readers to him. !~.`"~~
