ATIONAL EDUCATION.--At a SPE-
CIAL MEETING of the COMMITTEE of the
PROTESTANT SOCIETY for the PROTECTION o
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, held on June 13, 1839,
J. BALDWIN BROWNE, Esq., LL.D., in the Chair,
The Committee considered a copy of the Report of the Com-
mittee of Council, appointed to superintend the application of
any sums voted by Parliament for the purpose of promoting
Public Education, made on June 3d instant, and which her
Majesty, by and with the advice of her Privy Council, was
pleased to approve; and
Resolved-
1. That this Committee cannot too strongly express their
conviction of the urgent need and incalculable importance of
an improved and comprehensive secular and religious education
of the people ; nor too deeply deplore the obstacles that prevent
or retard the attainment of that most necessary and inestimable
good.
That the zeal and perseverance with which heriMajesty's
present Government have laboured to aceomplish tliat vast
public improvem •nt, and which have produced the noble ins' i-
tution of the London University, and great and manifold bene-
fits, previously withheld, have entitled the Noble and Right
Honourable Members of that Government to the confidence
and gratitude of all who desire that knowledge, and intellectual
and moral tuition, adapted to all classes, should be everywhere
and promptly diffused.
3. That while to that Government the Committee offer
their thanks, they approve thediscretion that induced them not to
urge forward recently a plan which multitudes of pious and ex-
cellent persons,under muchobvious misapprehension, had resolved
to oppose, and would now advise them, as a general rule, to apply
any further Parliamentary Grant, in the same manner as those
that were in former Sessions supplied—only conferring assist-
ance on poor and populous districts, where local contributions
cannot be obtained, under the inspection and guidance either
of the National School Society, or the British and Foreign
School Society, as circumstances in the judgment of the Com-
mittee of Council in each case may direct. And-
4. That with such regulations the Committee hope and in-
treat that the Government will apply for a vote of 30,0001. as
proposed, and that from all the Parliamentary foes to ignorance,
intolerance, and crime, and frienis to popular instruction, pub-
lic virtue, religious freedom, and general happiness, this appli-
cation may obtain grateful and cordial support.

INVALID INSTITUTION.
The DENHAM-PARK Establishment of the Institu-
tion is open for the reception of persons of both sexes in the
upper walks of life suffering under mental disturbance or ner-
vous complaints, but who are still capable of appreciating the
bles%ings of social intercourse.
The invalids reside with the resident Medical Officer and
his lady as one united family. The visits of the usual Me-
dical Attendants and Friends are admitted at all times with-
out previous notice. The attendants are educated persons ; and
recreation and amusement provided on the most liberal scale.
Denham-park is a Proprietory Establishment, and managed
by a Committee of Gentlemen, and under the general surveil-
lance of its Vice-Patrons, Noblemen and Gentlemen, who
have no interest in the Institution but what is prompted by
a desire to benefit mankind.
The Resident Medical Officer is a member of the College
o f Physicians, and has the sole direction of the medical treat-
ment of the invalids, and has no interest whatever in the
emoluments of the Establishment.- -
Apply for terms and prospectuses to the Secretary, James
Taylor, Esq., addressed, Denham-park, near Uxbridge, Bucks.

HAIR, EYEBROWS, MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKER.
DIMOND is happy to say he has discovered
a method of staining the hair to seven different shades
from a black to a very light brown—without staining or in-
uring the skin, and will much improve the hair. It cannot
be had at. any other house. When applied for, send a small
piece of hair for the shade required. Dimond also recom-
mends his Balsam for strengthening and preventing the hair
from falling off, which will have the desired effect the first time
of using. Likewise his Jessamine Cream, which no lady or
Gentleman should be without, for beautifying and preventing
the skin from chapping, and it is particularly recommended in
the nursery, and to schools, or for gentlemen after shaving. This
beautiful composition, if constantly used_, will prevent wrinkles,
and gin* the complexion the appearance of youth ; it surpasses
everything now in use.
J. DIMOND'S new invented PERUKES, so perfect an
imitation of nature that the hair may be parted to show the
skin of the head, and so light that it can be made to weigh only
one ounce, and to adhere most pleasantly to the head.

THE PLEASURE GARDEN PUMP,
by which a lady or gentleman may enjoy the amuse-
ment of watering plants and flowers in the most agreeable
manner. It is es portable as a parasol, and by the slightest mo-
tion of the hand, will discharge the water from a pot, in a
stream, in a shower, or as dew.
ACOUSTIC CORNETS.—To prevent deaf persons from
being duped, some scientific experiments have bees instituted
to ascertain the smallest scale upon which acoustic instruments
can be constructed, which prove that certain mock articles,
audaciously puffed off as very small hearing instruments, are
base decoys ! Dr. Scott's Cornets are the smallest instruments
at present known, and are worn on the ears, without giving any
trouble to the wearer, or obliging others to speak loud!
The SONIFERON is a powerful instrument for extreme
cases of deafness, especially for those who cannot hear the
service at Church, and speakers at a distance.
THE APERITIVE FOUNTAIN supersedes the injurious
habit of taking opening medicines, and preserves the bowels
in a regular state by the gentle operation of a little plain water.
Having been filled, it may be conveyed, unseen, in the pocket
or in a lady's reticule, to any appropriate place; and produces,
instantaneously, the desired effect, without the slightest incon-
venience.
The above are to be procured only of W. PINE, Superin-
tendent at Dr. Scott's Repository of Medical auxiliaries, 369,
Strand, three doors from Exeter Hall.

CABINET UPHOLSTERY and BED-
DING, at the CABINET-MAKERS' TRADING
SOCIETY, 71, LEADENHALL-STREET, enrolled agree-
ably to Act of Parliament ; being the Manufacturers in all its
branches.
The system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos-
sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as
no house in London can manufacture at their prices. The
Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not
receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber-
dashers, but they make every article themselves, which enables
them confidently to warrant. their goods of the best materials,
and if any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made
good free of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about
to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and de-
cided advantage of purchasing at this establishment can be fairly
estimated.
The funds of this Society provide for the members in sick-
ness, old age, and burial ; they therefore sincerely hope that
heir humble endeavours w ill meet with public patronage.
Estimates given, and orders punctually executed; and lists
of prices may be had, from which the following is an extract •
