affairs ; and there not being at present an adequate number of
military men in the Court of Directors, compared with the greatly
augmented force of the Company's army, this Meeting is further
of opinion that in the selection for supplyinv a vacancy in the
Executive Body, preference should be given to a gentleman whose
services have been distinguished in both these capacities.

Thomas Redhead, Esq.
That this Meeting fully appreciate the ample testimonials of
Major Carnac's services in India in several arduous and delicate
situations, requiring the exercise of great prudence, temper, and
ability, as successively recorded in the most honourable manner by
the Government of Bombay, confirmed by the Supreme Govern.
ment of India, and honouted by the entire approbation of the
Court of Directors.

seconded by Mr. Alderman Atkins,-
That in accordance with the foregoing Resolutions, this Meeting
strongly recommend Major James Rivett Cornea to the favourable

FOR IMPROVING THE GROWTH OF 11AIR.
JFOX, flair Cotter to his Royal Highness Prince
• Leopold of Saxe Coburg, begs leave to recommend to
Ladies and Gentlemen, with • anilines resulting from a long
trial of its superior excellence, his VEGETABLE CREAM, as
the most elegant and efficacious article now In use, for imparting a
delicate softness end luxuriant gloss to the Human Hair, which it
strengthens and preserves. Its surprising property of restoring
Hair or bald places ; prerusting its falling off after Fevers, Sea
Bathing, Travelling, and from other causes; as well as preserving
the Colour and Curl, infallibly renders it a desideratum to the
Fashionable World. A single trial will establish its superiority
over OHL or any other article ern made use of for the Hair.
