NEW CONSERVATIVE NEWSPAPER

THE BRIT A NNI A.
On SATURDAY, the 20th of April, xvill positively be
published, the First Number of the New Conservative Weekly
Newspaper, THE BRITANNIA.

The flag that's braved a thousand years,
The battle and the breeze "

The Britannia will be beautifully printed on fine clear paper,
will be nearly the size of the double " Times," and the price will
be only Fivepence. It will be conducted on sound constitutional
principles : and while opposing changes nhich arc brought for-
ward merely for the sake of change, and would be unlikely to be
attended with any beneficial results, it will prove itself the faith-
' ful advocate of all real improvement, the zealous supporter of all
schemes likely to advance the political and social well-being of
the community, and the uncompromising enemy of every abuse.
In addition to the usual Domestic, Foreign, and Miscellaneous
latelligence common to a newspaper, which will be most care-
fully condensed, and arranged on an entirely new system, the
Britannia will contain Literary Contributions by imaginative au-
thors of the first eminence. The Proprietors are resolv,d to
spare no expense or exertion to render it superior to any Weekly
Newspaper ever yet published, both as regards the talent of its
original articles, and the variety and arrangement of its general
news. Town subscribers are respectfully requested to give their
orders to a newsman without delay ; and persons resident in the
country should either give their orders to the nearest agent or
send a letter direct to the Britannia Office, containing a reference
for the first quarter's payment.
Office, corner of Bride-lane, Fleet-street, where all adver-
tisements and communications (post paid), must be addressed.

TO ADVERTISERS.—From he large cir-
culation which has been already secured to the First
Numbers,of the BRITANNIA, both in Town and Country,
and from its being eminently calculated to obtain an extensive
p..rmanent sale amongst every cross of the community, it will
be found an exceedingly desirable medium for Advertisements
of every description.
The scale of charges, as well as prospectuses of the Paper,
may be had on application at the Office, corner of Bride-lane,
Fleet-street, where all Advertisements and Communications,
post paid, must be addressed.

To MESSRS. ROWLAND AND SON, 20, HAT-
TON• GARDEN, LONDON.—" GENTLEMEN,—I have been
prevailed upon by a friend to try your Macassar Oil, and
have, indeed, found it of amazing benefit in my family.
Four of my children, a few yeas ago, were ill with the
scarlet fever, and until about three months since, there was
not the least appearance of hair upon their heads. The
medical gentlemen who attended them gave no hopes of it
ever returning ; but, after using your Macassar Oil, a short
time, I found, to my great delight, their heads covered
with short, strong hair, which is now daily improving.
You are at liberty to make whatever use you please of this
letter to your advantage ; as I live in the country, I have
taken the present opportunity of conveying it by a friend
to you. I am, gentlemen, your humble servant, Janet
Smith. Ottringham, Yorkshire, June Bth." Rowland's
Macassar Oil is the only article that really produces and
restores the Hair; also, Whiskers, Mustachios, Eyebrows,
&c. ; prevents Hair from falling off or turning grey ;
changes grey hair to its original colour ; frees it from scurf
and dandruff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly.
Notice.—The lowest price is 3s. 6d., the next price is
75., los. 6d., and 21s. per bottle. Ask for " Rowland's
Macassar Oil."

For upwards of a quarter of a century, no year,
as a a hole, has been more favourable to the interests of
the hardy sons of Neptune et Buckhaven, than the pre-
sent. While the commercial and manufacturing part of
the population have suffered materially, and whilst, under
the enterprise and skill of the agriculturist, the earth re-
fused to yield her wonted stores of plenty, the fishermen
have drawn from the " treasures of the deep" to an extent
almost unparalleled. Vast shoals of white fish frequented
the Firth during the last twelvemonth—so that the fisher-
men have, in every department of their calling, been suc-
cessful. From 21. to 3/. was sometimes earned by a single
man in the " deep sea" fishing carried on in the neigh-
bourhood of the Isle of May, and sometimes thirty miles
east from it. Last summer the herring continued about
six weeks in the Firth, and yielded our townsmen clear
profit ranging from 501. to 701. The success attending the
present fishing season has even surpassed it. The number
of barrels cured by each averages 1,000, making a grand
total of 13,000. Prices varied from 10s. 6d. to 245., and
the average price per barrel may be estimated at 15s.—so
that little short of 10,0001. worth of herring have been
cured in Buckhaven during the season.—Fffe herald. j

OXFORD AT MlDNlGHT.—Night—breathless
and cloudless night—looked down unbroken over Oxford;
and where, oh where, throughout the peopled plains of
merry England, looks she on so fair a city ? Beautiful at
all times—like Scott's Melrose, most beautiful is she by
moonlight, when the last shout of midnight festivity has
died away, and the youthful forms that so lately thronged
her streets have passed like the daylight to their rest. For
the night of Oxford is not as the night of London. There,
the rolling of the wheel, the rattling of the dice, the gay
dance flag not, till morning dawns upon the scene. In
Oxford, after the magic hour of midnight, the streets are
deserted, and the silence unbroken—apt emblem of the
difference between the brief burst of youthful excitement,
and the cold, listless, unceasing routine of the jaded vete.
ran and profecscd pleasure-hunter.—Vincent Eden, in
Bentley's Miscellany,

That to avert by every means in our power such arbitrary
and unconstitutional proceedings on the part of her Majesty's
Ministers, a petition, embodying the foregoing res'lutions,
forthwith prepared, and presented to the Commons' House of
Parliament, praying that the said Bills do not pass into a law,
and that the Right Hon. Lord Teignmouth, and Sir Benjamin
Hall, Bart., the Members for the Borough of Marylebone, be
requested to present and support such petition, and to use all
their influence within the walls of Parliament, and elsewhere,
to defeat the objects of this uncalled for measure of injustice.
That the thanks of this Vestry are due, and are hereby of-
fered, to the Press of England generally, and to the Press of
London in particular, forthe very efficient and energetic man-
ner in which it has advocated the people's rights, and de-
nounced the present arbitrary measures of the Governm.nt.
By Order of the Vestry,
JOHN M‘GA HE Y, Vestry Clerk.
