The sucees ful results of the last Half Century have proved beyond
question that

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL possesses sin-
gularly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and

mprovement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has
railed.

This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to be the
cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It
prevents it from falling off o•• turning grey—strengthens weak hair
—produces a thick and luxuriant growth— cleanses it from Scurf
and Dandriff—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its
opera' ion in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; and in the growth
of WHISKERS, EYEBROWS, and biusTacuios, it is unfailing in its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended,
as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the 11b0
of the fine-cmnb unnecessary. In dressing the hair nothiag can
equal its effect, rendering the Hair so admirably soft tat it will lie in
any direction, and imparting a transcendant lustre.—Price as. 6,1.
and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d. ; and double
that size, 21s.
CAUTION !—On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words, Row-
LAND'S Macias/tit OIL, la two lines. The same are engraven on the
back of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters.

In the fortification department the in-door examination
took place after the mathematical, and before the prizes
were issued. After dinner the cadets were marched to
the Coldstream, over which a ban-el-bridge was formed.
A light field-piece placed on a pontoen raft was fired
several times by a squad of cadets, who propelled the
raft by paddles at a respectable speed. The usual charge
of powder, placed under water, was then fired by the
voltaic battery with good effect, In the sand-model
hall various beautiful specimens were exhibited. One
was a design for a first-class citadel—a splendid model,
occupying a space of 50 by 40 feet, explained by Cadet
Ritchie. Another consisted of two fronts of Bousmard's
system, one-half showing a horizontal section taken
through his elaborate system of countermines. This
was explained by Cadet Champain, Cadet Pemberton
explained models showing two methods of defending un-
flanked ditches. Cadet Alaunsell explained a design for
a bomb-proof battery. Cadet Anderson explained the
model of a sunken, and Cadet McMahon that of an ele-
vated, battery. All were exquisitely finished off and
well explained by the respective cadets.

THE UNITED STATES

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.

By the arrival of the Royal mail steam-ship
Africa, Harrison Commander, we have advices from
New York to the Ist. She has brought 160 pas-
sengers, and $603,153 on specie on freight.
The following steamers had arrived out .—The
Arctic, at New York, on the 28th ; and the Arabia,
at New York, on the 31st ult.
The steal:tier. Yacht had arrived at New Orleans,
froth Brazos, Texas, with $lOO,OOO in specie. She
reported that Caravajal was still in prison.
Dr. Kane sailed from New York on the 31st, on,
his second expedition to the Arctic regions,
search of Sir John Franklin.
A telegraphic dispatch from Savannah states
that all but two of the passengers on board the ship
William and Mary, recently wrecked off the Great
Isaacs, have been saved. They were saved by a
schooner, while the ship was drifting, just before

she sank.
The West India mail steamer Conway had ar-
rived at Savannah, with Jamaica advices to the
23d ult. The yellow fever still continued, and
William Gillett, the purser of the steamer Medway,
had died of the disease.
The disagreement between the house and Go-
vernment had assumed an alarming aspect, the
house having again refused to vote the Appro-
priation Be. The Assembly was prorogued on
the 23d, and it was stated that the Government
had threatened to turn loose the convicts and dis-
band the police, for the want of means for their
support.. Business had become materially suspended
on account of this unsettled and unfortunate state
of things.
From the city of Mexico we have advices to the
12th ult. The Traits de Union gives the follow-
ing resume of the news :
" It was rumoured on the 7th that the Cabinet was
dismissed ; but during the evening it was affirmed that
all difficulties had been removed, and that the Ministers
retained their portfolios. The muse of this alarm pro-
ceeded from an order of expulsion decreed against M.
Carrera, a Spaniard, well known in Mexico, which
order had met some opposition. We do not know if it
is in force still. In conformity with the decree of May
2, the Governor of the district has named a provisional
corporation with General Cervantes as president. This
extraordinary nomination has met the sympathies of
the Universal, which counsels the Supreme Govern-
ment to act in the same way with the governors of
States. The project of closing the Custom-houses,
creating a national bank, &c., has not been abandoned.
Before taking any positive step in that direction, the
Government had named a commission, composed of a
representative of the Archbishop, Bishop Munguia, M.
Mier y Teran, and M. Francisco Iturbe, and charged
with preparing a project to regulate the administration
of the national revenue in such a way as to facilitate re-
sources for the Government. The Atalaga del Sur, the
official journal of Sinaloa, which had announced another
invasion projected on the part of M. Raoussel Boulbon,
now contradicts its original statement. Senor Vivo had
departed from Vera Cruz, to enter on the discharge of
his official duties as Mexican Minister to Spain. Gene-
ral Don Josd Maria Teruel has been declared by the
Governor of the State of Oajaca, a much-deserving citi-
zen of that State—ciudadano benernerito—an acknow-
ledgement of his services in the negotiations for the
opening of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Severe mea-
sures are being taken against the Mexican annexation-
ists. Circular letters have been directed to the Gover-
nors of the States by the Minister of the Interior,
and to the Commandants by the Minister of War,
directing them to hunt out all persons who circulate
such- pernicious doctrines, and try them by a court-
martial. The Governors are ordered to institute a
police, whose duty it shall be to find out those who
talk of annexation, in order that they may be pun-
ished. The increase and organisation of the army goes
on rapidly, and several new battalions have been created.
In consequence of the new law of the press, the Alba,
the Patria, the Vox Anahuacense, and the Politica
of Puebla, and the Espectador of Morelia, had been sus-
pended. This makes eight papers which the law has
killed. In the city of Mexico a clandestine sheet was oc-
casionally issued attacking the measures of the Govern-
ment. General Ampudia has been appointed Command-
ant of the State of Nuevo Leon. General Ugarte has
been named Governor and Commandant of the State of
Michoacan. Governor Trias left Chihuahua on the 7th
of April, at the head of a military expedition, to oppose
the occupation of the valley of Mesilla by the American
troops. He has ordered a new enlistment to be made,
and that the National Guard be organised. He thinks
that if one man to every hundred inhabitants turns out,
ho shall have force enough to oppose successfully the
American forces. Don Luis Zuloaga has been appointed
Provisional Governor of the State during the absence of
Governor Tries. Several merchants of the State of
Zacatecas have protested to the Supreme Government
against the imposts established by the Governor of the
State. The State of Durango is said to be suffering ter-
ribly from the ravages of the Indians. Within a period
of eight days 20 persons have been killed by them.
One woman was compelled by them to kill her father
and mother. General Santa Anna has issued an order
to Senor Melendez, Commandant of Tehuantepec, to
cease his operations against the State of Chiapas. We
have received Vera Cruz papers. The Siglo copies a
paragraph from the El Comercio of that city, which
states that the cholera and small-pox were both making
great ravages in that place."
Tho New York stock-market had been more ac-
tive, particularly for Erie, and generally at rather
better prices. Money continued in good demand,
although for short loans there was rather more
offering. Foreign exchange easier ; bills on Lon-
don, 199 k to 109 k for 60 days ; Paris, 51. 12lc. to
51. 15c.
Cotton in good demand, at an advance of ie.
per lb., with sales of 10,600 bales for the three
days. _ _

Flour unchanged, and inactive in the absence of
an export demand. Wheat in moderate demand.
Indian corn firm at 60c. to 60ic. for southern
mixed ; 61c. to 62c. for white, and 63c. to 64c. for
southern yellow. Corn meal heavy.
Pork continued firm, with sales of 600 barrels
for export. Prime mess beef dull, at $lB to $2O
for good to choice.
Lard, butter, and cheese in good demand.
Scotch pig iron unsteady at $27 to $2B cash,
and $29 to $3O 50c., six months.
