TILE HEAD. —The season has now arrived, when it
becomes not only of importance, but most essential to
health and comfort, to pay the most scrupulous attention to
the head, which all admit to be the " scat of reason." Almt
all the " ills that flesh is heir to" proceed from non-attention
to the head, but as a preventive and a cure, the strongest
remedy recommended is the use of the celebrated hats of
Wood, 73, Lord-street, constructed on scientific principles,
as the thousands who have experienced the benefits received
from their wear can testify, and who are witnesses of the
important fact.

GREEBA CASTLE ACADEMY, DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN. —Thi s
is the most delightful and beautiful spot any where to be found
on the lovely island, and is universally acknowledged to be the
healthiest. Few schools can offer so many advantages of
situation and comfort as the above. It will be found in
every respect suitable for the residence and education of the
sons of the gentry. First-class masters provided for each
branch of instruction. Prospectuses, with copper-plate
engraving of the castle, may be had on application. The
midsummer vacation will terminate on the 30th July.
Pupils conducted to and from Liverpool by one of the
masters, and to their residences, if required. tts
MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
—A committee meeting of the above society was held,

yesterday morning, in the Adelphi Hotel, Mr. John Henry
Law in the chair. Some remarks were made by the mem-
bers present with reference to the distribution of prizes for
the best cultivated farms of a certain class ; but these were
devoid of any interest to the general public. The
Secretary read a letter from Messrs. Moorish and
Child, in which they proposed to supply dinner at
the approaching exhibition of the society, to be held on the
Bth and 9th of September, at 3s 6d each, exclusive of
drink. Mr. John Birch moved, and Mr. Dickson seconded,
that the tender be accepted. The motion was agreed to,

subject to certain regulations regarding -refreshments for
servants. The society have decided to have their show-
ground at Edge-hill this year. The committee then pro-
ceeded to nominate judges for the various departments of
the show. This was the only business to be transacted.
Tau GREAT JULY FETES AT THE GARDENS.---rhe com-
mittee of management of the grand fetes, which c ommence
on the 25th inst., have progressed rapidly towards
completion in their arrangements, and from what at present
appears, the fetes will surpass any thing that has been before
the public of Liverpool and surrounding districts. The
arrangements for each day's proceedings are ample, varied,
and attractive, and the list of prizes in the flower,
horticultural, poultry, and other exhibitions of the
week, amount to over £l5O, and in one department
of game cocks, there will be a sweepstakes of
£lOO, From the manner in which the grounds are to be
laid out, the tents, stalls, &e, the, great general attractions
to be presented, it may be, anticipated that it will be a
Crystal Palace exhibition in Liverpool. , The charities are
not forgotten, as there will be stalls appropriated for these
benevolent institutions. In a word, these fetes are looked
forward to with much interest, and we , understand that
daring the week of the exhibition special excursion trains
will be run from all the large manufacturing towns in the
county, from Cheshire, &c. The novelty of the exhibition,
with the incentive of the prizes, the variety of the shows.
and the Interest created, combine to make it, as a whole,
the most important feature of this present year, not only
local, but general.

ENGLISH CELEBRITIES.— A London correspondent of the
New York Times gives the following sketches of English
celebrities :—Kingslake, the author of " Eothen," is a
small, slender, delicate-looking man, with pleasing manners,
and an easy talker. He is a member of Parliament for
Bridgewater,. and is hard at work on the History of the
Crimean War. Tom Taylor is tall, rather slender, young
looking, with a fine black beard. He is the Most successful
of living dramatists ; he holds a handsome Government
office besides. He wishes to see the United States, where
he is already so well known ; and I urged him strongly to
go. He says Laura Keene has treated him very hand-
somely, and that she is entirely right in her controversy
about " Our American Cousin." Mr. Layard is a stoutish
man, with a bushy beard, slightly touched with frost,
decidedly jolly in look and manner, but a little 'sore, it is
said, at being ousted from Parliament. He also is hoping
soon to see the United States, and explore, without excava-
tions, the magnificent Ninevehs and Babylons of the West.
