OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA.-
The LOSS of HAIR.—One of the most annoying proofs of
the inroads of ruthless time has been most successfully supplied
by OLDRIIKIE'S BALM of COLUMBIA, which has been no
lass remarkable than important to thousands who have expo.
rienced its powerful effects in encouraging or reproducing a hue
growth of hair. Oldridge's Balm produces a beautiful curl, frees
the hair from scurf, and the first application stops the falling off.

THE SUCCESSFUL RESULTS OF THE LAST HALF CENTURY
HAVE PROVED, BEYOND QUESTION, THAT
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL
possesses peculiarly nourishing powers in the growth,
restoration, and improvement of the Human Bair. It prevents
it from falling off or turning grey, strengthens weak hair,
cleanses it from scurf and daudriff, and makes it beautifully soft,
curly, and glossy. In the growth of the Beard, Whiskers, and
Mustachios, it is unfailing in its stimulant. For children it is
especially recommended as forming the basis of a beautiful head
of hair. In all climates It alike displays its incomparable results,
and has long been an established fmourite in India.

CONCERTS OF THE WEEK.

THE fine performance of Mozart's pianoforte concerto
in C
,minor was the principal feature of Dr. Wyld's
second "flew Philharmonic Concerts." There is
high praise due to this truly gifted pianiste in thus
presenting in succession all the noblest works of the
classic composers.—lt is to be hoped that the con-
cert at Exeter-hall last Wednesday night, for the
benefit of the family of the late Mr. Leffler, will have
answered its purpose. Itis a pleasure to enumerate
the names of Mme. Clara Novello, Mine. Rudersdorff,
Mme. Lemmens Sherrington, Miss M. Keeley, Miss
Palmer, Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves, Mr. A. Irving,
Sloper, Blagrave, H. Rohrer, A. Pandegger, Lemmens,
and Mr. Henry Leslie's choir, as having afforded
their aid.—There was also a concert on Tuesday in
the Hanoversquare Rooms, in aid of the funds of St.
Mary's Hospital, conducted by Benedict.

DENMARK.

A telegraphic despatch from Hamburg of the :29th
ult., in the Nord of Brussels, says :
Important news has arrived from Copenhagen ; Prince
Ch►isttan, the heir to the throne, has left for Berlin on a
private mission from the King to the King of Prussia.
The same journal pnhlishes a telegraphic despatch
from Berlin, of the 22nd ult., to this effect :

After an eloquent speech from M. Stahl, the Upper
House adopted by eighty•three votes to three the motion of
111 M. Be Below and Stahl, inviting the Government to
continue its efforts, in concert with its confederates, to
cause the rights of Holstein and Lauenburgtobe respected.

The Deutschlvtd of Vienna, 20th ult., says :
The Montenegrin question has created a certain anima-
tion in diplotnatio c►rcles, and three conferences have
taken place between Count de Buol and Prince Rallimachi,
the Turkish Minister. The latter at first refused to
consent to any subsidy being paid by the Porte to Prince
htnilo ; on the contrary, he insisted on the ►ight of
Turkey to claim a tribute from Montenegro. The repre
sentations of Count de Buol, coupled with the urgent
request of the French Government, have suceeeled in
changing the resolution of the Minister, who hits promised
to support the proposed arrangement in his communica-
tions with the Porte.

EDUCATIONAL FRANCHISE.

THE above question, though we think it un•
likely ever to recommend itself very strongly
to the public mind of England, is just now
being a good deal canvassed ; and this must
be our justification for bringing it before our
readers at the present time.
The advantages of making education a test
of fitness for the possession of this privilege
are broad and obvious; so broad, in fact, as
almost to be with out point. Goodness or
cleverness would be a very desirable test also ;
but they are qualifications of that intangible
class which scarcely admit of being seized,
weighed, and classified. And we cannot help
feeling that education comes under the same
category. To draw the line at the possession
of a university degree, though it sounds well
enough upon paper, would never be tolerated
in practice. Independently of other reasons,
there are many persons who still believe that
a university education imparts nearly as much
prejudice as enlightenment; and though we
are not of that number, yet we fancy a con-
siderable proportion of franchise reformers
are.

Of special criticisms on this design there
appear to be two of more weight than the rest.
Fitst, that, as the principle of making re-
presentation to depend upon property is
undoubtedly sound, any measure calculated to
tamper with this systen, even in the remotest
degree, must be approached with tho utmost
circumspection. Secondly, that it is not po-
pular : and a reform of the franchise that is
not popular seems to be nearly superfluous.
It has all the evils of change without the
benefits of concession. For those who think
that the Radical reformer would accept the
educational franchise as a substitute for its
extension to lower classes of the community,
we fear, are deeply mistaken. It would be a
denial of their demands coupled with the most
pointed reflection on the state of those classes
in whose behalf they prefer it.
If we turn to the class itself which this
measure is designed to benefit, we shalt find
little more in its favour. Do they in reality
care for the boon ? The very short time
which elapses before a man of liberal educa-
tion is enabled to possess the franchise pre-
vents him from feeling the want of it to be a
very great grievance. While he is poor he is
usually absorbed in other pursuits. But if he
has a taste for political agitation he can in-
dulge it almost as well without a vote as with
one ; can get up meetings, make himself use-
ful at elections, and in a hundred ways in-
fluence the public without making a unit in a
constituency of thousands. The press alone
has, to a great extent, superseded the fran-
chise for the really educated classes.
It is to be remembered, also, that a scholar,
whose means are such as to prevent him
from being a householder, is likely to be en-
gaged in a tolerably severe struggle for exist-
ence—a very much severer one, probably, than
the ten-pound householder is acquainted with.
Hence, at once, would arise temptations to
political dishonesty, in proportion as his
political position was improved ; and if it
were not improved, why should he wish for the
franchise ?

THE ROYAL ACADEMY.

Tnr: exhibition this year is not above or below the
average. There are a few pictures of a high order,
and many of certain merit; while portraits are more
numerous than ever. The names of Holman Hunt,
Noel Paton, Burton, Webster, and Ward, are all
absent from the list. But Millais, Sir Edwin Land-
seer, Stanfield, Creswick, Danhy, Maclise, and
Roberts contribute pictures which will excite cri-
ticism and admiration for the season.

Stanfield's great sea piece is the wreck of two
of the Spanish Armada ships off the Giant's Cause-
way, on the coast of :Antrim, Ireland. It is a mag-
nificent work. There is one trifling fault—he
has painted a Spanish soldier standing firmly
upright, and quite at ease, in a boat floating in the
trough of a rolling breaker. But the effect of the
whole is sublime. Another picture, "Calais
Fishermen," is a fine breezy bit of seacoast
life. Maclise has but one picture—Peter the
Great when working in Deptford Dockyard
visited by King William. Brilliant in colour, elabo-
rate in detail, it is as hard—as the piece of wood
Peter is sawing. Millais' finest picture is " The
Escape of the Heretic." The girl's expression
appears fatuous and unmeaning, but the determina-
tion of the lover is well given. That wonderful
picture of the knight in the golden armour and on
the black horse we reserve. Landseer's "Deer" and
" Dogs" are both fine pictures. Roberts' " Interior
of the Duomo of Milan" is a triumph of atmospheric
effect and architectural detail. Mr. Solomons'
" Waiting the Verdict" is one of the finest pictures
in the Exhibition. Mr. Philips has two fine Spanish
pictures ; Mr. Danby gives us a rosy sunrise or
two ; Mr. Andsell the results of his travels in Spain,
in two cattle-pieces ; Mr. O'Neill a picture of consi-
derable merit, " The Last Day of Sale;" and Mr. T.
Faed one of his charming bits of home life in " The
First Break in the Family." Among the portraits
Grant is of course pre-eminent.

PROSPECTS OF LAW REFORM.

Tai miserable blundering of Sir Jons Bow-
RING, involving, as it did, a war with the
Celestial Empire, was a perfect godsend to
the Cabinet. They were literally at a stand-
still when this lucky incident, by enabling the
Premier to appeal to the ignorance and the
prejudices of the nation, enabled him to obtain
another lease of political existence, which,
however, cannot possibly be a long one.
Meanwhile, the peactical reforms which we
were promised have been utterly lost sight of.
It is true that Lord CRANWORTH brought for-
ward in February last a variety of measures
for the reform of the law in accordance with
the Ministerial programme. He had an
elaborate scheme for remodelling the Eccle-
sialtieal Courts ; he had another for amending
the Law of Divorce ; and he had a third for
reforming the system of procedure in the

long war, and was more particularly mani-
fest in 1808 and 1815. The discords
of the Liberal chiefs on Foreign Policy have
always represented real differences between
their followers in the country. There is a
large body of English Liberals who are prac-
tically favourable to a Conservative Foreign
Policy, averse from intermeddling, and wishing
to steer a via media between the delusions
of " peace-at-any-price" fanaticism, and the
dangers inseparable from a boisterous and
arrogant Foreign Policy, provocative of quarrel,
and productive of no real glory. One party of
English Liberals wishes for the policy of Earl
GREY in 1830-34 (while the Duke of RICHMOND,
the Earl of DERBY—then Mr. Stanley—the
Earl of RIPON, and Sir ,LAMES GRAHAM, were
members of the Cabinet). Another section,
more noisy though less numerous, has always
clamoured for the system followed since 1835,
vhile Lord PALMERSTON was unchecked by the

cient to rouse them into the display of self-
assertion.

Though now sitting to the left of the
Speaker's chair, the Conservative party has a
most important mission to fulfil in the coming
times. Circumstances will require its con-
centrated energy in order to preserve England
from the jobbery and domineering pride of an
official Liberalism, inspired by no noble sen-
timents, and intent only on monopolising the
spoils of power. The alternate ascendancy of
two parties England approves, but from the ab-
solutism of either England would recoil. The
rule of Lord PALMERSTON, with a numerical
majority, a personal policy, and a feeble
Cabinet, tends to an autocracy that challenges
opposition from the country, which sees no
guarantee for " order " in the ascendancy
of ONE.

WOOLNER'S BUST OF TENNYSON.

Mn. WootsEn's bust of the Poet Laureate, now being
exhibited at Messrs. Dickinson's, New Bond street,
deserves the highest praise that can be given to a
work of that character. It is at once a perfect like-
ness and a perfect work of art. The face and head,
though of a peculiar cast, bear evidently the stamp
of lite ; there is no attempt to make away with the
peculiarities that strike orthodox phrenologists as
objectionable, or to idealise a stubborn trait into a
classical mould. The sculptor has not been afraid of
following Nature. Many who have attempted like-
nesses of great men have been unwilling to represent
foreheads of a lower or narrower appearance than the
most majestic typical brow, forgetting that their
object was to show what Nature had actually given,
and not what they thought she ought to have pro•
duced. Thus Dannecker invested Sohiller with a
much more imposing presence than that he might
rightly claim, as tnough the science of phrenology
was a fact, and the man only a conjecture. We
could easily multiply modern instances, and it is
clear what credit is due to Mr. Woolner for having
resisted a strong temptation peculiar to sculptors.

Now that we -haveshown what is Mr. Woolner's
merit in giving a likeness, we must endeavour to
show how he has succeeded in producing a work of
art. Mr. Tennyson's magnificent features might
puzzle many sculptors of no small power to render
on marble as they are in the flesh. They require bold-
ness to grapple with their stern cast, and skill to
transfer their exact expression to the stone. So
faithfully has this been effected, that we may say to
the poet in Juvenal's words :
Nano quippe alio rincis discrimine, gum quod
llli marmoreum caput est, tua vivit imago.
But this compliment to the sculptor implies a still
greater to the poet, for if the marble head be so
magnificent, what must be the living ? It may be
objected that a little more grandeur is added
to the stone by the increased size, but this
serves merely to compensate for the absecce of
life, and they who are conversant with busts of
a life size will not regret the addition. The grandeur
of the features, the impress of majesty on the brow,
and the profound expression of intellect, stamp this
bust as one of the finest works produced by the
chisel of the modern sculptor. The bust has been
produced as much in veneration of the poet as from
love of art. Such a work should not be lost in a
private gallery. A committee was lately formed to
purchase the works of a deceased artist for presenta-
tion to the national collection : why should not the
bust of the living poet Ly a living sculptor be
presented to a national institution ?

THE ROYAL PANGPTICON, Leicester•square, has been
sold to Mr. E. T. Smith, of Drury•lane, for 11,000/.
Mr. Smith, it is said, intends to turn the scientific
exhibition into a Cirque Francaise.

LIGHT-BROWN COD LIVER OIL.
" Dr. Granville has used Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod
Liver Oil extensively in his practice, and has found it not only
efficacious, but uniform in its qualities. He believes it to be
preferable in many respects to Oils sold without the guarantee
of such an authority as De Jongh. DR. GRANVILLE HAS FOUND
THAT ThIS PARTICULAR KIND PRODUCES THE DESIRED EFFECT
IN A SHORTER TIME 'IVAN OTHERS,AND THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE
THE NAUSEA AND INDIGESTION TOO OPTEN CONSEQUENT ON THE
ADMINISTRATION OP THE PALE NEWFOUNDLAND OILS. The Oil
being, moreover, much more palatable, Dr. Granville's patients
have themselves expressed a preference for Dr. de Jonah's
Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil."

A CABINET COUNCU, was held at the Foreign office
on Saturday afternoon—all the Ministers present.
On Monday about 180 Liberal members, convened
by special invitation, assembled at the official resi-
dence of Lord Palmerston. The meeting was some-
what stormy.

On Wednesday, after the defeat of the Govern-
ment, a Cabinet Council was held in Downing-street
—all the Ministers present. The Cou❑cil sat from '
2 n.m. to 3.30 p.m. At the breaking up of the Coun-

A CORRESPONDENCE between Lord Panmure ant
Sir John M'Neill has been published. Lord Pan-
mure, on the 20th of February, informed Sir John
M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch that her Majesty's Go-
vernment had resolved to mark their sense of the
services rendered by the Crimean Commissioners, by
a reward to each of 1,0001. Sir John M'Neill, in
reply, observes :
If I rightly understand the statement of the grounds on
which the grant is tendered to me, it means that the sum
of 1,000/. is intended to be considered not merely as a
recognition by her Majesty's Government of the manner
in which the duty was performed, but likewise as the pecu-
niary equivalent of the results of the inquiry—that is, the
money value of the advantages which the country has de-
rived from those results. This estimate alone is sufficient
to lead me, without further consideration, at once to decline
a proposal which, as explained by your lordship, appears to
me to involve the admission that the results of my labours
have been so insignificant as to be almost without appree
ciable value to the public. Your lordship is well aware
that I have never sought to obtain for myself any reward
or remuneration. Her Majesty's Government have, till
now, apparently considered my services in the commission
as gratuitous, and I am quite ready, as I have always been,
so to consider them.

HOSTILITIES AGAINST CHINA.

The adjourned debate was resumed by
Mr. R. PHILLIMORE, who observed that Mr.Labou.
chere and the Attorney General, in opposing the
motion, had adopted widely differing lines of argu-
ment : Mr. Labouchere rested his case upon the
legality of the Colonial Ordinance, while Sir R. Bethel!
maintained that the Colonial Ordinance had nothing
ac all to do with the question, for that the whole
point depended upon the construction of the treaty ;
and the Lord Advocate differed from both, and
held, not that the character of the ship determined
her country, but that the flag she flew determined
her character. Apart from all these legal consider-
ations, the main issue of the question was whether
the war was just in its origin and righteous in its
continuance:—

Assuming that the British authorities were right in
everything which they did with respect to this vessel, as-
suming that she was a British •essel duly registered, let
the house look at the disproportion between the offence
and the chastisement ! Was the law of nations really so
stupid and so detestable a code that it exacted the blood of
men as satisfaction fur an offence of this description ? Did
it point at no intermediate step ? What was the inter-
Mediate course which the Queen's Advocate recommended ?

AN EXPLOSTON OF FIRE-DAMP occurred on Wed-
nesday in a pit belonging to A. N. Mandy, Esq., at
Shipley, near Derby. Three men and two boys were
killed, and thirteen persons severely injured.
THE LUND HILL PIT has been filled with water this
week. So soon as the temperature of the water in
the pit is reduced to a certain point, immediate opera-
tions will be taken to empty the pit. The adjourned
inquest on Monday on the body of Abraham Turner,
one of the men who wes got out of the pit alive, but
afterwards died, was farther adjourned until Monday
next. The most careful inquiries have been male
as to the sacrifice of life by the explosion, and
the exactnumber of deaths has now been ascertained
to be 186.

century who had questioned the prerogatives of
Longshanks ? He would have been drowned in a
butt of his own ale, or smothered in a tub of his own
grains! Though our author's estimate of the
Stuarts is not too favourable, nevertheless the
character of the lamented Prince Henry suffers
nothing in his bands. He has brought together a
collection of very entettaining anecdotes of that
prince, all tending to heighten, or at least sustain,
the estimate we bad previously formed of him. The
information contained in Mr. Edgar's book, though
poured out in a careless, popular style, could not have
been obtained without continuous and extensive
reading. His volume is an original work, based on
p3rsonal investigation of the subject, and not a mere
o impilation from Hume or Lingard. A better book

Canton from the face of the earth, if full satis-
faction be not rendered for the tremendous
crime of the Chinese Government in allowing
.their own authorities to board one of their own
boats in search of one of their own criminals.

in one of the crises of the French Revolu-
tion DANTON thundered forth the principle
essential to the triumph of his party—Auda-
city, Audacity, Audacity ! Lord PALMERSTON
has, on this occasion, torn a leaf from the
book of the plotter of the September mas-
sacres. Audacity is to secure the triumph of
the motley band who recognise PALMERSTON as
their Dictator. The pretence that he was
defeated by a factious combination of parties
is the most audacious assertion ever flung in
the face of the House of Commons. The
whole annals of Parliament do not record a
vote less influenced by factious, or even party,
considerations. What an insult has the Premier
cast on the whole body of independent Liberals
by branding with faction the names of by far the

El

ment candidate, Mr. Donsos, by a majority
of 80. The Londonderry county election is
even still more important, as showing the
feelings with which the Protestants of Ireland
regard that policy of Lord PALMERSTON which
seems to have converted some champions of
Protestantism in England. At the close of
the first day's poll the Conservative candidate,
Mr. CLARKE, had a majority over his Palmers-
tonian opponent of 966, having polled nearly
double the votes given in favour of Mr.

......
These elections are significant facts, and indi-
cate much improbability that the Palmerstonian
party will gain any great accession of strength
by the announced dissolution. They should
inspire our Conservative friends in all parts of
the United Kingdom with spirit, and prompt
them to use the most vigorous means to secure
the triumph of their principles.
