13IIMICE'S CELEBRATED RITSRTA OIL is now
1 so improved with an extra valuable ingredient, through which
it has made it the greatest preserver and promoter to the hair: if
used constantly, not IS hair will fall off or turn grey: it is olch
nrnirisher to the hair, that even if it has begun to turn grey it yid
restore it to its natural colcar by rubbing it frequently into the
roots, as hundred., have experienced who have usett it regularly. It
is one to clear the scurf, from infancy to old age, and when dress.
ing with it, will vlwaya keep the head and brut clean and beauti-
ful, and in curl. Will surely restore the hair on hald plates, if
there is the le tst sign of roots ; but if persons are balil,and the roots
are entirely gone, it is against nature that any article can restore it:
and if persons pretend to restore hair when the roots are gone, by
any article whatever, it is a falsity. Persons who have begun to
get bald ought to be particular to use the Russia Oil daily, or at
the least every other day, as there must be a comraint in the scalp,
which may go fuither, and carry fr the hide entirely, if neglected,
which has often been the erne. Even Medical Gendemen of the
Medical Hall, who have analysed Prince's Russia (111, have pub.
lished in the" Gazette of Health," No. IR, that the discovery is a
great credit to the proprietor, and is superior to any other Oil for
the hair, and will do in cases of baldness and weak hair, what cis
possibly be done in strengthening and restoring it. The Medical
Gentlemen have also analysed another Oil, which is daily puffed ;a
the Papers as used by Emperors, Kings, Dukes, tea, and have
published in the " Gazette of health," No. 12, that nn examining
the ingredients of this grand Oil, they find it contains only coin
mon Oil, coloured and perfumed; therefore, it cannot be compared
to the Russia Oil as a nourisher to the hair. There arc petty per_
turners, hair-dressers and others, oho melt bullocks' fat, and put
it in pots and perfume it, and take in the public by pretending to
sell them Bears' Breast ; but it is well known that Bears' Grease la
too harsh for the hair, and makes the hair turn grey and fall eff.
The truth of this is well known to every one who knows the Ctrim-
tor Alexander, as h 2 lost his hair at an early age; and many per-
sons of distinction in the North also lost their hair at an early ag. ,
through using Bears' Grease. In short, in Russia, aad other par a
of the North, where the Bears are. it is found from experience that
Bears' Grease is too harsh for the hair; and whoever recommends
it in this country for the halt, must do it foe imposition, or must
be ignorant of its injuring the hair; but Prince's Celebrated Russia
Oil is mixed with the most nourishing oila in Europe, and it is
always like a jelly ; and it is proved by every one who has given it
a fair trial to be the only article that actually preserves and pros
motes the hair.

It is no wonder that Ladies and Gentlemen have complained
late of the Russia Oil not being of /Mile to the hair, as they hire
found out that unprincipled persons have sold them countinelin.

Dublin, under the name of a Catholic Association, and of
whom Mr. O'Connell is the Leader, are greater enemies to
the successful progress of the cause they profess to serve.
than all the opponents, in Parliament and without its walls,
it has had for years. They call up antipathies and oppo-
sition where they would not otherwise exist. They do
nothing to unite or animate the Catholic body ; for beyond
their beard-roan they have no followers: their vitupe-
ranee and folly alienates their friends and exasperates their
enemies ; then, when their petitions conic before Parlia-
ment, they end opposition loud, and their own intem-
perance is cited as the pretext, while their best advocates
have no defence lint the great justice of the cause itself, but
are obliged to acknowledge the unmeasured folly of the;
few who have injured it most deeply. The Catholics would
be right in having an association of respeemble and sensible;
individuals of their own body, such as exists in England, to I
watch over their Orsini ; but why should they have de-
clamatory tnectings once a week, and inflammatory speeches I
from Mr. O'C •11, Mr. Shed, and Sherwin, and the
other young men who go there merely to exhibit their ora-
torical talents: these speeches can neither add to their
friends nor conciliate their enemies, and arc little cared for
by the Catholics generally. It is because we are unalter-
ably attached to the welfare of Ireland, and the happiness
and freedom of its people, that we write thus. We know
that Catholic emancipation ip necessary to conciliate and
tranquillize that country ; but that great measure will owe
nothing to Mr. O'Connell or his circle of partisans. It is
not by calumniating the memory of such men u Mr.
Ricardo, or talking such inconsiderate folly as he did
about the press of this country the other day, that this
great cause can be advanced. An honest and sensible pub-
lic man would disdain such unworthy quackery : it might
do for a political mountebank or showman, who, to create
delusion, would fling his dark shadows around him; but
all that is respectable must reprobate such virulence; and
i the wise and good, who wish to see political and religious
freedom. at length firmly established, must sigh over the
wounds it thus receives, and the unmeasured folly of those
who call themselves its advocates.

laws fur a nation such as England, and for such a people
as the English. The Member for Stafford has no one
qualification that should fit him to be a candidate for fame
as a trainer of Acts of Parliament. He either has no re-
spect for the natural rights of his fellow-subjects, or he
knows nothing of the principles on which those rights are
established.

a N THE ANTIQUITY OF USAGES.

Who have been the greatest fools, and who the most
ancient fools ? Ourselves ? or the Egyptians ? or the
Syriatis ? or some other people ? What was aignitied by
our tnisletoe ? Who first consecrated a cat ?—lt must
have been he who was the most troubled with mice. In
what nation did they first dance under boughs of trees is
honour of the gods ? Who first made processions, sad
placed fools, with caps and hells, at the head 4f them ?
Who first carried a Priapus through the streets, and fixed
one like a knocker at the door? What Arab first took it
into his head to hang his wite's drawers out at the window,
the day after his marriage ?
All nations have formerly danced at the time of the new
moon. Did they then give one another the word ? No :
no more than they did to rejoice at the birth of a son, or
to mourn, or stem to mourn, at the death of a father.
Every one is very glad to see the nicon again, after hav-
ing lost her for iv:veral nights. There are a hundred
usages so natural to all men, that it cannot be said the Eis-
cayans taught than to the Phrygians, or the Phrygian, to
the Iliseayans. .

Fire and water have been used in temples. This
custom needed no introduction. A priest did not choose
always to have his hands dirty. Fire was necessary to
cook the immolatid carcases, and to burn slips of resinou4
wood and Tice', in order to combat the odour of the racer:
dotal shamblis.

Hut the mysterious ceremonies which it is so &Ricoh to
understand, the usages which nature does not teach---in
what place, when, where, how, why, were they invented?
Who communicated them to other nations? It is net
likely that it should, at the same time, have entered the
head of an Arab and of an Egyptian, to cut of one end of
his son's prepuce; nor that a Chinese and a Penlan should,
both at once, have resolved to castrate little bor...
It can never have been that two fathers, I,n different
countries, have, at the same moment, formed the idea of
cutting their son's throats to please God. Sotne nations
must have communicated to others their follies, serious,
ridiculous, or barbarous,

In this antiquity men love to search, to discover, if pos.
sible, the first madman and the first scoundrel who pa.
verttd human nature.

But, how are we to know whether Julio, in Phoenicia,
by immolating his son, was the inventor of sacrifices of
human blood ?

How can we be assured that Lycaon was the first who
ate human flesh, when we do not know who fir* began to
eat fowls?

We seek to know the origin of ancient feasts. The
most ancient and the finest is that of the Emperors of
China tilling and sowing the ground, together with their
first Mandarins. The second is that of the Thesinophotia
at Athens. To celebrate at once agriculture and justice, to
show men how necessary they both are, to unite the curb
of law with the art which is the source of all wealth,—
nothing is more wise, more pious, or more useful.
There are old allegorical tea.,ts to be found everywhere,
as those of the return of the seasons. It was not neeenitry
that one nation should come from afar otr, to teach another
that marks of joy and friendship for one's neighbours tray
be given on the first day of the year. This custom his
been that of every people. The Saturnalia of the Romans
are better known than those of Allobroges and the Picts;
because there are many Roman writings and monuments
remaining, but there are none of the other nations of
western Europe.
Tae feast of Saturn was the feast of Time. He bad
four wings; Time flies quickly. His two faces evidently
signified the concluded and the commencing year. T6s
Greeks said that he had devoured his father, and 64 be
devoured his children. No allegory is more renonable:
Time devours the past and the preseut, and will devour the
future.
