Il.' NIILTONIAN SYSTEM.—PUBLIC LEC-
'ATE. Within the last twelvemonth, above 151 private
times, for ancient and modern languages, have been taught by
✓t. lIA3III,TOS and his Partners, The formation of Esta-
iihuirirs at Liverpool Glasgow, Paidey, Preston, Blackburn,
'4"l holton, proves that ;his new System of teaching excites no less
interest throughout the Kingdom than in the Metropolis. But
()where have its advantages been more readily appreciated than at
'he University of Cambrid.ge. The Classes there formed among
the University, for The }Tench and German Languages, have
Wei more than real Led the prog-ess foretold by al r. Hamilton.
Anxious to extend the benefits of the System to those who might
not have found it convenient to join the private classes at Cecil-
'trent, nor to form others at their own dwellings, Mr. Hamilton
funned classes last Spring which met late in the evening, and in
which the subscription was 1!. for each section of ten lessons I the
übleace of guarantee to their progress chiefly distinguished there
glum the private classes. A class of this nature lately completed
iis course of five seetilns In the French Language, having obtained
for St, with little expense of time, what has frequently occupied
Yens vidiout sAcess.
Is cede to meet the views of many inquirers for similar classes
this Winter, and to prepare for forming them in various Lan.
lunges, a PL Bide LECTURE, explanatory of the Principles
Lid Practice of the Hamilte.nian System, will be given by Mr.
PHILIP SKENE, one of Mr. Ilamiltou'a partners, at the ( of
London Tavern, on SATURDAY EVENING, Jan. 5, to uegin

r‘LDRIDGE'S BALM of COLUMBIA, an important
11 Chemical Discovery, just imported from Philadelphia.
The Nobility and Ladies and Gentlemen of Great Britain are'
respectfully informed, that JOHN OLDRIDGE has discovered,
by the power of Chemistry, the grand desideratum of PRE-
V EN.f NG HAIR from FALLING OFF, in forty-eight hours
from its tint application. It has proved its ability to restore a full
Head of Hair on those who were bald at twenty years of age, in
the short space of thirteen weeks; on those who were older it was
longer in effecting the change in proportion to the age. Any per-
may rest assured (provided they do not wear a wig) that this
helm will restore a covering of Hair in a short time, if it be regu-
larly used. The young Hair always appears on the part that was
hall in the course of twenty-one days. Though the person who
uses it be ever so old, by applying it occasionally it will prevent
the Hair from falling toff. So highly efficacious has it proved in
America, that R. Wharton, Esq., the mayor, and Lewis D. De-
bit, Prothonotary of the Common Pleas in Philadelphia, have
certified, that it is not only a preventive against the falling off of
the Hair, but alma a certain restorative.
C. and A, OLDRIDQb are well aware, that many fraudulent
and deceptive nostrums have been imposed on the public, and
therefore prejudice will be severe here against the discovery, until
trial shall convince their patrons that such a thing exists in nature
as a capillary restorative. The public may rest assured that it
assists nature, and is perfectly harmless.

" This Work, which has well condensed, but at the same time
with much perspicuity, many details that occupy much apace in
their original form, is written in a much better style than works on
mechanics can generally boast, and may be read with much advan-
tage both by the amateur and the practical mechanic. The illus-
trative engravings arc well executed, and the price of the Work is
very moderate.".—.Star.
