Twenty Years Loss of Hair, and wonderful Restoration Church-street, Whitby, Oct. 19, 1841 Gentlemen,—Of the last supply of OLDRItIGE'S BALM of COLUMBIA every bottle was sold immediately on receipt, and I have many more bespoke, only waiting for a further supply, which I hope you will send without the least delay. Orders have poured in more than ever since the powerful effects of the Balm have been so decisively demonstrated in the cases of se veral credible and respectable inhabitants of the town. One instance, among others which have attracted particular atten tion, is the case of a gentleman who had had little or no hair for twenty years : he had tried numerous preparations in vain, and ultimately had his head shaved, and wore a wig. At my recom mendation he tried the Balm ; and after using it according to the directions for a short time, the young hair appeared, and lie has now as fine a head of hair as any person in Whitby. Yours, &c., JOHN KILVINGTON. To Messrs. Kennaby Brothers, 10, Westmorland-buildings, Alderagate-street, London. OLDKIDGE'S BALM causes Whiskers and Eye-brows to grow, prevents the IHair from turning grey, and the first appli cation causes it to curl beautifully, frees it from scurf, and stops it from falling off. Abundance of certificates of the first respectability are shown by the Proprietors, C. and A.

MODERATE PREMIUMS.—This Company, in determining its charges for Assurances, under the various contingencies, de pendant on human life, has availed itself of the experience of the oldest and most prosperous London Offices, and of the re cent investigations on the subject, made by the most compe tent Mathematicians and Actuaries.

NEW YEAR'S ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN MESSRS. MILNER TO THEIR WORKMEN On Friday evening last, Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son, inventors, and sole manufacturers of their own cele brated fire-resisting Safes, Deed-boxes, and Gunpowder magazines, gave a sumptuous and splendid entertainment at their extensive works (in Lord-street and Cable-street,) to the numerous workmen in their employ, and to a number of gentlemen, friends of the firer, who were in vited as guests on the interesting occasion. An excellent dinner, consisting of the most substantial viands, in the wake of which followed plum-pudding and other etceteras. with wines, spirits, ale, and -(for the temperance portion of the company) capital liqueurs, was served up at three long tables, presided over by Mr. Milner, senior,—at the head of the centre board—supported by a son on-each side ' • the vice-chair being occupied by Mr. John Owens, the foreman of the concern. The room was most appropriately and elegantly deco rated with festoons of evergreens, roses, &c., and over the chair was fixed an ornamental canopy of crimson dra pery. One end was illuminated by a crown in jets of gas, and at the other were similarly emblazoned the initials, V. 8., with a device illustrative of the valuable invention of the givers of the feast, bearing the inscription in blaz ing letters " Milners' Fire Tamer," surmounted by Nep tune's Trident supporting the figures "212," indicating the degree of heat at which the fire-safes on their princi• pie become available by supplying internal vapour to re sist the action of the strongest fire. About 130 sat down to the repast •, this number com prising about 100 of the operatives of the concern, all in their respectable holiday attire, and about 30 gentlemen who had been invited. Among st the latter were Mr. Samuel Woods, jun. ; Mr. Ri chard Woods, Mr. Salt, secretary of the Polytechnic Society ; Mr. Arnitt, ma nager of the new Gas and Coke Company. and with him Mr. Bright. cousin of Mr. Bright, M,P. for Durham ; Mr. C. J. Smith, of the New Gas Company ; Mr. Arstall, and others of our townsmen and neighbours. After the dinner , the usual loyal toasts were given from the chair, and received with the most patriotic feeling. That of the " Quee-s" was followed by the national an them, sung by the whole company, upstanding, and led by Mr. Crawford, a gentleman in the employ, who intro duced some new and appropriate verses. The others were also marked by glees, or musical honours. Mr. Wm. MILNER, (the junior partner) being now called upon for a toast, said he had great pleasure in com plying, and in proposing that they should drink prosperity to " British Industry"—for he made no distinction as to locality, and wished to include all industrious workmen, English, Irish, Scotch, and Welsh. He honoured them all, for they made, in dutifully pursuing their several avocations, the best husbands, the best fathers, and the best subjects, and this was in a great degree to be attri buted to the religious feeling and love of. country that pervaded them. He eloquently urged the encourage ment of industry amongst the whole of our fellow countrmen, and sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. W. 'CRUSE, one of the workmen, here appropri ately sang " England —we ne'er shall see her like again." Mr. JAMES WALKER MILNER, youngest son of Mr. Milner, senior, here gave the toast of "The Town and Trade of Liverpool," which was drunk with great ap plause, and followed by the song of " Life on the Ocean Wave." by Mr. John Strange, one of the work men—spiritedly executed and loudly applauded. Messrs. Weal and Philips, also in the employ, then fa voured the company with a clever and gratifying obliyato on the violin and horn, introducing a number of popuiar airs. The CHAIRMAN, having called upon his active fore- man, who acted as vice at the lower end of the room, for a toast or sentiment, Mr. OWENS requested that each should fill a bumper, for he should propose their worthy entertainers, " Mes srs Milner and Son," who were truly kind and consider ate employers. The gengemen present would appreciate their hospitality to themsllves, and with regard to their kindness and indulgence as masters—their uniform cour- tesy and consideration—he could himself speak from an experience of seventeen years. (Cheers.) To see, as at that joyous meeting, two classes who were essential to each other, though in different grades of life, thus render ing themselves mutually social, was indeed delightful. He concluded by proposing health, happiness, long life, and prosperity to Thos. Milner and Son. (Great cheer ing.) The CHAIRMAN begged to return his sincere thanks for the handsome manner in which the toast has been given and received. He sincerely wished all happiness through life to his workmen, and also to their wives, relatives, and sweethearts. (Great cheers and laughter.) Glee by Mr. Weal, sweetly sung, " Plenty and Jny." _ _ The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of those kind friends who had assisted them by their encouragement to carry out the principle which bad given rise to the estab lishment, and several of whom had favoured them with their company that evening. (Cheers and three times three.) A gentleman whose name we did not obtain, replied. He paid a high compliment to Messrs. Milner, and ex pressed his extreme gratification at witnessing the feeling that pervaded those present. He alluded to the motto of the " Fire Tamer" in the room, and prop rsed 'be health of the house in the appropriate name of" Tne Fire King." (Great cheers.) A young gentleman, who is blind, here played an air on a piano, in the open countinghouse, behind the chair, and afterwards sung, very sweetly, to his own accompany ment, " She wore a wreath of ros?s." Mr WEAL proposed a sentiment to the effect that, the rose, thistle, leek:and shamrock, might ever be harmo niously combined, which was enthusiastically drunk, and eloquently and facetiously responded to by Mr. Crawford. Mr. MILNER, it'll., in proposing a toast, recurred to times past, when their " Fire Tamer" was not so well known as now. They had had much to encounter with their invention, for it opposed facts to preconceived opinions. Scientific men said that books and documents could not be preserved from fire, and few favoured the principle. Mori', however, had since acknowledged it. They were finally indebted to the support of a few friends. They appealed to the most scientific men, workers in iron, che m;sts,&e. to ccme and see, and pronounce upon their claim. This happily led to their knowiodgc of a society without private interest in the matter, but ready to forward what ever was beneficiel to society at large. He (the speaker) felt that the principle was based on truth that could not be shaken—the great laws by which water or its modifi cations regulate all temperature. The Polytechnic So ciety took an interest in the question. They entered into a course of the most trying experiments. They, it is true, put them in the fire ! and a hot and continuous one too ; and the result established the accuracy of the principle. He therefore proposed " the Polytechnic Society," and with it Mr S. Woods, jun., who had done them great service, Associated with Mr. Woods were his excellent friends Mr. Salt, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Arstall, whose health he conjointly proposed. (Vehement applause.) Mr: WOODS replied in behalf of the Society named. The invention was one of the most valuable that had ever been brought before the Society, and he had introduced it to their notice in the early part of 1843. They had brought Messrs. Milner's safes to the severe-t tests along with those of others, and the former had distanced all competitors. He had made a record of its success, and considered it an honour to the Society to bring it forward. It was, in truth, one of the greatest boons that had ever been gained by the country. The contents of all the other boxes were reduced to tinder! those in Milner's were taken out, after the same ordeal, as fresh as when they were put in. (Great cheering.) Mr. SMITH, of the New Gas Company, and also a member of the Polytechnic Society, bore equally strongtes timony to the efficiency of Messsrs. Milner's Safes. He was present at the several experiments near St. Jude's Church. At first he had no faith in Milner's tin bosxe,. and was perfectly astonished at the result. On this point he expatiated with great felicity and humour. acknow ledging his erroneous first impressions, and his subsequent high and unqualified opinion of the excellence of the in vention. We regret that our limited 'space prevents us from attemyting more than a mere outline of the address of this- gentleman, Mr. Woods, and others. After ex pressing, in eloquent terms, his admiration of the com mingling of the employers and the employed, as witnessed on the occasion, he concluded by toasting ".The Progress, rapid and.triumphant of Milner's Fire-proof Safes." (Great cheers.) Mr: MILNER, jun., called the attention of the com pany to an ornamental flower vase, made of the same ma terials as the safes, by one of , their workmen, Wm. Tear, and a crown, made by John Corlett. He stated that he had, perhaps, 50 men equally capable. These specimens was certainly beautiful, and elicited much approbation. On the tables were also shown two pieces of plate, a snuff-box, and a cigar-case; the former presented . to Nir. Milner, sen., and the latter to his son, by their workmen, as a grateful acknowledgment to them for their kindness and consideration in releasing them from work so crirly as three o'clock every Saturday afternoon. Both bore suit able inscriptions to that effect. Mr. OWEN (the foreman), on his health being drunk, with a high compliment, said that nothing was due to him of encomium. His object had been, and ever should be, to give satisfaction to masters and to men, without in fringing on the rights of either. (Cheers.) Mr. ARNITT, (Gas Company) on his health being drunk, spoke in a feeling and impressive manner, on the occasion that bad called them together. A number of other toasts, sentiments, songs, &c., fol lowed. "The Press" was responded to by Mr. J. S. Wal ker, (in behalf of the whole "gang,") who expressed a hope that the example of friendly feeling exhibited that night between masters and men would elsewhere be followed. The whole meeting was one of the most delightful we have had to record, and the company separated about mid night, highly gratified by the entertainment of the night. THE STAGE NEGRO.—The character of the negro, as exhibited on the stage, is a strange compound of physical and moral singularities, that are well worthy the attention of the student of human nature in its dramatic, which is certainly its most astounding form. The stage negro seems to be deeply imbued with the beauties of the Bri tish constitution, and is constantly indulging in senti ments of gratitude towards England that must be delight. ful to the ears of the most patriotic native of our highly favoured isle. The stage negro is continually running about in an ecstacy of delight at the reflection, thS, " dreckly him put him foot on British groun, him frecpas de air, free as massa himself;" an announcement which is usually followed up in an early scene by the negro re ceiving a variety of cuffs or kicks (in which, by-the-by, he seems to delight,) from some of the other characters in the drama. Sometimes the stage negro grows senti mental, and asks, in reference to some cruel practidal joke that has been played upon him, "Whether him not a man and a brother ; f.r though him face black as him roll, him heart white as him lily ?" The old constitution loving and sentimental-spluttering stage nigger is, how ever, rapidly disapkaring from the stage; and we get, in these days, very few of those cutting allthions to the traffic in slaves, and those tender appeals to the equality which were the eta- - of the human race, _..„ ot the dramatic. negroes of our infancy.

The chapel is not less dark on that account; you can no longer dis cern the ornamants and delicate moulding entwined in the vaulted roof; the shadow deepening blends and confounds the outlines. But, as if the chapel were not yet dark enough, it contains, in a retired corner, a narrow recess of dark oak, where that man, all emotion, and that trembling woman, so close to each other, are wbi.-- ' together about the love of God And who is the party—what have been tl training and course of discipline by which he, r far we ipering ie previous thus placed as an interpreter:between weak woman her maker, is enabled to bear himself scathless through the ordeal to which he is submitted.

Michelet tells us. questions upon crimes and practices of unimaginable atrocity, unknown in the worst ages of barbarism, and probably not perpetrated at all, "except by the brutal soldiers of the Duke of Alva, or by the exiled, lawless, and godless band which Wallen stein drew after him—a wandering mass of iniquity, which would have:been abhorred by ancient Sodom." " We know not," continues our author, - " how to qualify this culpable routine. These books, composed for a barbarous age, unparalleled in crimes, are the same that you give to your pupil in our own civilized age. And this young priest, who, according to your instruc tions, believes the world is still that dreadful world. who enters the confessional with all this villainous science, and his imagination full of monstrous cases, you; impru dent men !—(what shall I call you ?)—you confront him with a child who has never left her mother's aide, who knows nothing, has nothing to say, and whose greatest crime is, that she hat not learned her catechism properly, or has hurt a butterfly ! I shudder at the interrogatory to which he will subject her, and what he will teach her in his conscientious brutality. But he questions her in vain. She knows nothing, and says nothing. He scolds her and she weeps. Her tears will soon be dried, but it be long before she ceases to reflect." Change, as the object of this impious and demoralizing scrutiny, the shrinking virgin for the wife or the mother. The confessor has proclaimed his authority from Heaven to bind and to loose—to listen to the tale of human frailty, apd to absolve from it. " A father," he urges, " has a right to know the se crets of his child; he is an indulgent father, who wants to know them only to absolve them. He is a sinner like yourself; has he, then, a right to be severe?

" And this man now knows of this woman, what the husband has not known in all the long effusion of his heart by day and night ; what even her own mother does not know, who thinks she knows her entirely, having had her so many times a naked infant upon her knees. " This man knows, and will know—don't be afraid of his forgetting it. If the confession is in good hands, so much the better, for it is for ever. And she—she knows full well she has a master of her intimate thoughts. Never will she pass by that man without casting down her eyes." We cannot trace, with Mr. Mickelet, the working of the system in its darkest features. Not to enter, how- ever, into the worst, of which it is capable, can we shut our eyes to the fact that a woman, who has thus breathed the secret nearest to her heart, to the ears of another, must become, henceforth, his unresisting slave—the agent of his efforts to subjugate the other sex—the accomplice of his persecution of her father, her brother, or her son. Does she revolt, there is the consciousness in her heart that her family is known to her spiritual and temporal tyrant ; and the meaning frown reminds her of the fetters in which she must now consent to remain. An awful power is this to be wielded by sinful man over his fellow worm. " To be the only one, w ith out e i ther comparison or contradiction ; to be the whole world of a soul, to wean it, at pleasure, from every reminiscence that might cause any rivalry, and efface from this docile heart even the thought of a mother that might still be cherished within it ; To inherit everything and remain alone, and be mas ter of the heart by the extinction of all natural senti ments !" Such is the power which Romanism exercises over its votaries in the world out of doors—such the foundation upon which she builds up her empire. And if that empire be great in the walks of every day life, what must it be 'when she who is subjected to priestly machination is im mured from all external influences in the monotonous gloom of the cloister ! " What," asks our author, "shall a nun do—a woman, and endowed with a woman's tenderness and passion— who beholds in her convent's narrow room one, and only one. day after day, and month after month, one whom she is taught to believe a paragon, and amongst the best and most perfect of his sex" —whose education has made familiar with every form of human depravity, and who is commissioned to probe the secrets of the inmost heart of bis penitent? He stands before her invested with super-human power, and awful sanctity. He shares with her her sorrows. He is the confidant of her every thought, and every aspiration ; and if such a man, with such persons should be also possessed of wickedness to abuse them, can a more appalling picture of vice and sacrilege be presented to the mind than must be the result? We must, however, refer our readers to the pages of M. Michelet himself for its description and details. We shall return to the Work for further evidence of the actual working of the system amongst the families of France. At present our space is exhausted. ireensigauu Samsun.--0.. 0.. 'morning of Snort., 1..* the Rev. B. A. Marshall, A. M. preached a very impres sive funeral sermon upon the death of the late incumbent of St. Mark's Church, the Rev. Richard Blacow. His text was remarkably appropriate, having been suggested to his mind when standing beside the grave of his departed friend. " The voice said, 'Cry !' and he said, What shall I cry ? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. The grass withereth ; the flower fadeth : but the Word of our God shall stand for ever."—lsaiab, chap. xl., verses 6 and 7. The charac ter of Mr. Blacow was pourtrayed with great fidelity and affection. The congregation were forcibly reminded of bygone days, when their talented minister stood almost alone in Liverpool as a burning and shining light in the established church. The features relative to his tempera ment of mind were t(nderly drawn by the pen of charity, and the practical part of the subject was admirable. Who is now to succeed Mr. Mac° ? Justice and gratitude at once say Mr. Marsnall. His talents as a preacher of the gospel must commend themselves to all who are privileged to sit under bis ministry. His discourses are invariably characterized by simplicity, accuracy of gospel truth, and general usefulness. He is frequently eloquent in the highest sense of that term— and always faithful in his ap peals to the heart and conscience of his hearers—evidently desirous to win souls to the Redeemer. He seems to have imbibed much of the Apostle's spirit when he said, " I am determined to know nothing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." Mr. Marshall's ministerial labours have been felt and appreciated in the sphere he at present occupies both by the old and young—the rich and poor—the sick as well as the dying—and during the last seven years, he has laboured with great ardour and perse- verance, though his remuneration has be tively small. No doubt the trustees will the matter, and probably no opposition Mr. Marshall, who has proved himself F( erous—so warm.hearted—and so faithful 11 be o'ffered to of every duty connected Let Mr. Mar I be c he inctinaheney . of St. Mar loubt but that peace and r can be tie within her )all prove the birth , II constitute hi f many im of joy 81)d STANOTriI r.A., •• - ::R1) ~~ ~ 1 ~ y walls. and that it si mortal souls. who rejoicing at the last great day
