EYEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a
few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of
CIRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENE-
RATOR.

If you are in want •f thai;;;Xiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an 111.
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whore it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read inhis
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.

. .
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Gemstone, Merchant,
Iligheate, and will be found at page ii, un•ler the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.

The I Is. size contains four of the 4s.
A few f its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
in the pamphlet enslosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cater +et, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved-by the itificimers, still it was, an act of
Oppression ; as In 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq ,
altered the label, and sanctioned Its sale under order of the Lords
of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Berries,
Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This .was
on account cf its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government It is obliged to be stamped. FBq to

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
`he Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered is terms of the Act, from die
putir,g a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. Oa the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
Na Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.

M. One half the world are desolately single, and the other

of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
oomprosinr, harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be tho only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item

HUNGARIAN and ROMAN AFFAIRS.

PUBLIC MEETING IN NEWCASTLE.
(From the Newcastle Guardian.)
On Monday evening, a public meeting of the in-
habitants of this town was held in the Music Hall,
Nelson-street, for the purpose. of expressing sym-
pathy with the Hungarians and Romans at the close
of their disastrous struggles, and contributing to-
wards the support of the refugees—the fund so raised
to be placed at the disposal of Lord Dudley Stuart,
M.P., who it was announced would honour the as-
sembly with his presence. The spacious building
was well filled at the commencement of the proceed-
ings, and during the evening it was crowded to
excess up to the very doors, both in the body of the
room and the gallery.

Shortly after eight o'clock, Sir John Fife, George
Crawshay, Esq., Mr. C. Larkin, and other gentlemen,
with Lord Dudley Stuart (who had arrived by the
express train from the south) entered the room, and
were loudly cheered.
There were on the platform several in-
fluential fellow-townsmen, with two Turkish gentle-
men, Hassan Effendi and Salih Effendi, to whom
Mr. Crawshay referred in the course of the pro•
ceedings.
On the motion of Mr. LARKIN',
Sir JOHN FIFE to )1c the chair. He observed on the
importance of the occasion on which they had met, and
explained that they had not presented a requisition to
the Mayor, as the meeting would have been called at
an inconvenient hour to many of them, and in an in-
convenient place—the Guildhall. He romanced that
the memorials to be submitted had been advertised in
the two last published papers (the Guardian and
Gateshead Observer), so that they were fully pre-
pared to assent to or dissent from the sentiments con-
tained in them, as their judgment might direct. He
was glad to find that the meeting was so powerful in
numbers and respectability, and happy to announce
that Mr. Headlam, M.P., had subscribed three
guineas, and Mr. Ord, M.P., 51. towards the pur-
poses for which they had met. Mr. Hutt had ex-
pressed a desire to attend, but found himself unable
to do so ; he sent a subscription of sl.—(Cheers.)
Dr. Headlam and Mr. Burdon Sanderson also ex-
pressed regret at not being able to be present. In
addition to the gratifying circumstances which he had
announced there was another; they had the honour of
being associated in this great cause with one whose
name was illustrious throughout the whose civilized
world as the protector of the exile and the friend
of the hero and the patriot.—(Cheers.) These
attributes 'belong most peculiarly to Lord Dudley
Stuart, whose exertions in favour of Poland many
would remember—whose noble and generous philan-
thropy had been exercised ever since in similar
causes, and now with more energy and munificence
than ever in favour of the exiled patriots of Hungary.
—(Renewed cheers.) Sir John then referred to the
unfounded statements made by a portion of the British
press, particularly the Time: and the Quarterly
Review, relative to Hungarian matters, and concluded
by anticipating that the meeting would be harmonious
and unanimous in its proceedings.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CRAWSHAT was then called upon and received
with loud plaudits. He remarked that they had met
to express sympathy with the cause of Hungary at a
time when it was prospering, and now that it has
fallen—he trusted only for a time—it was their duty
as Englishmen to come forward and say that their
conviction in the justice of the cause remains unal-
tered ; that they did not desert and would not despair
of it.—(Cheers.) Kossuth himself, in the eloquent
words which he penned just before he quitted the
country, in a prophetic spirit said to the Emperor of
Austria, " Young monarch, remember my country is
not destined for thee." No, the land of Kossuth
could never degenerate into a nation of slaves.
But they must not waste regrets on the past; their
business that evening was of a practical nature, and
the immediate purpose for which he rose was to move
the adoption of a memorial to the Crown. It had
been advertised in order that no extremely ardent
friend of peace might say that he had been entrapped
into the approval of a document which he had not
examined. In moving its adoption he should also
comment on its several clauses. The first related to
the Russian intervention in Hungary. He had
always looked on that intervention as an European
question. When Russia came into the field the
aungarians were fighting not merely for their own
liberty, but for the liberties of every nation id Europe.
Scarcely had a month or two gone by before England
and-Russia were brought face to face, and nothing
but the most energetic conduct on the part of our
Government could have prevented the Turkish
(
empire from absorption by Russia. The putting
down of the Hungarian movement by Russia was
the termination of that series of movements
which commenced in Paris in 1848, and as he
had mentioned Paris, he would observe that on a
calm consideration of the history of Europe since that
period, it appeared to him that France had not shown
herself a safe guide to other nations, and when she
moved again, they would do well to pause a little and
see whether a February was not followed by a June,
and the establishment of a republic at home by the
destruction of one in a neighbouring country.—
(Cheers.) Had Hungary not fallen, it would have
saved the cause of European liberty, and on this ac-
count he regretted its fall. There have been parties
in this country, and especially in the press, who have
rejoiced and triumphed over the fall of Hungary as
the re-establishment of order in Europe. He entreated
them not to be led way by words. " Order reigned
at Warsaw," were the words of a great General after
' the town was sacked. The question was, whether
order was for good or evil. Disease was organized as
well as health, so that the mere fact of order existing
was no cause of joy.—(Cheers.) What had been the
consequence of the late proceedings in Hungary ?
Why Austria had become part and parcel of Russia.
The theory of intervention or non-intervention never
appeared to him a safe one to follow, but where they
saw abominable vice and horrible cruelty prevailing,
the system under which it is fostered and encouraged
can only be looked upon as a curse to the world, and a
thing against which every honest man will raise his
voice, and, if necessary, his arm. He would notice a
peculiarity which had been introduced into Austria
since the intervention of Russia—he alluded to the
practice of flogging worsen.—(Shame.) They might
not perhaps be aware that flogging was an ordinary
punishment in Russia, inflicted equally on men and
women ; and it did not disgust the people of that
country, because, he was sorry to say, that those of
the lower orders were in the habit of beating their
own wives.—(liear.) But until this connexion be-
tween Austria and Russia such a thing was not
known in the Austrian empire. (Mr. Crawahay men-
tioned instances of this base conduct, in one of which,
a woman accused of murder, was killed by being
beaten on her stomach!) Without pursuing this
subject, he would merely say that he considered the
successful intervention of Russia in Hungary as a
curse to the people of Europe and a blight to civili-
sation.—(Cheers.) When the news reached his ears
it did not inspire him with hope that the era of
universal peace was coming, but he said to himself,
where is this to stop ? There was no instance in
history of nations stopping of themselves; he felt
certain the time would come when Russia must be
stopped by another power, and that power England.
—(Cheers.) What had happened ? Soon after-
wards Kossuth, with other brave Hungarians,
sought a refuge in the territories of the Sultan,
protection and hospitality being promised to them.
He (Mr. Crawahay) then detailed the facts con-
nected with the subsequent demand of Russia and the
conduct of Turkey and England thereupon, and ob-
served that the meeting were called upon to thank the
Government for the course they had taken in this
matter, and for having threatened Russia with war--
(Great cheering.) lie would go further and say that
if our Government had not acted as they had done,
they would have been guilty of treason to the honour
and interests of this country. He did not wish to
represent the power of Russia as very great. Al-
though he disagreed with Mr. Cobden in his extreme
peace views, yet he thought a debt of gratitude was
owing to him, not merely for his exposure of the
swindling Austrian loan, but for his exposition of the
real weakness of Russia. In that view, every man
who had travelled in Russia, or knew much about the
country, concurred. But whilst he had not the least
fear of a war between Russia and this country, for he
believed the mere threat—the double-fist—would in-
duce Russia to eat dirt, yet be considered great dan-
ger might have arisen had any weakness been shown.
—(Cheers.) It was quite possible for small forces to
produce a great effect, and the resources of a country,
however great, might be brought to nought by imbe-
cility and weakness on the part of those who have to
direct them. Had Great Britain refused to sup-
port Turkey in her humane and righteous con-
duct, would not the world have said that she was
afraid of Russia?—(Cheers.) Mr. Crawshay proceeded
to show that not only honour and duty, but self-in-
terest should impel us to this course ; and then ad-
verted to the reports of the incarceration of Kossuth
and his companions in a Turkish fortress, observing
that nothing less than freedom to these men to go
where they please would be a satisfactory conclusion
of the question. He could not believe that the
Turkish Government would consent to their impri-
sonment, but he thought it exceedingly probable that
the Austrian Government bad demanded it, for they
