IMPORTANT INVENTION connected with
the MANUFACTURE of BREAD, BISCUIT, and PASTRY.
The Inventor, Mr. JOHN SMITH, of Hare Craig, near Dundee,
N. 8., to whom her Majesty's Letters Patent have been granted for
England, Scotland, and Ireland, has discovered a METHOD of use-
fully TREATING the OAT, so as to obtain therefrom a flour equal,
if not superior to the best wheaten flour. The flour of oats has been
analysed by well-known chemists, and is found to contain a (ranch)
larger quantity of nutritious qualities than wheaten flour, and is cal-
culated to give a greater amount of nourishment and strength to the
muscle, bone, and blood of man. The inventor intends to extend the
advantages e this discovery by granting licenses in the different
countries for which her Majesty's Letters Patent havelbeen obtained.
In carrying out this discovery, there will be required but little alters..
tion in the present system of grinding-,an advantage which will be
at once self-evident, as the manufacture may immediately be entered
upon by those engaged in the manufacture of flour from wheat. In
point of price the benefit will be largely in favour of the consumer,
while the invention will create a demand for oats which will be very
acceptable to the growers of that grain in its present depressed state
in the market.

Further particulars of this discovery, and also of the terms upon
which licenses will be granted, may be obtained by application to Ma.
Smith, factor for Lord Douglas, of Douglas, Hare Craig, near Dun-
dee, N.B.

TO TUB LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_
paper on Aug. 7, 1146. Reader, remember, this letter was put hat
he paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoae, of the Herbary, High-
:ate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair en her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair Is much stronger and more luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s
aegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an Ils. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair is abund-
ance, bet as a cure of nervous headache ;as a toilet perflime itl far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure is answering any
Lady of respectability to the above fact:.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or tuning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mate it strong, and
orevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most &Matte ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and dowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevons headache, pour tea or twelve drops
on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet et testimonials.

AVERSE FOR MY PURSE.
Come, safe preserver of my valued cash,
Thy praise sing, though Shakspere calls thee trash.
Much do I owe to thee, thou treasured thing,
And therefore 'tie but right that I should sing.
All that I wear, and all I eat and drink,
Are but the produce of thy current chink;
And wheresoever, therefore, thou art connl,
I view thy contents as a magic wand.
Like everything, thou niay'st be rightly used,
And likewise may'st be equally abused.
But I am one who would consult my purse,
In buying goods for better or for worse.
Thy gold and silver treasures, if we ponder,
Is far too costly—far too scarce to squander;
And therefore in my purchases in trade,
I always go where savings can be made.
And never de I carelessly disburse
The Whites and Yellows of my well-wrought purse.
In dress, for instance, I would always buy
MOSES AND SON'S ATTIRE,
Which ranks so high.
At MOSES' Warehouse, everywhere renowned,
Cheapness and quality are always found.
I never once have found it the reverse,
Though often there I've drawn my silken purse.

METROPOLITAN PARLIAMEN-
TARYsentatives of the metropolitan
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
On Wednesday a most numerous meeting of the repre
parishes, convened at the in-
stance of the Connell of the General Metropolitan Finan-
cial and Parliamentary Reform Association, was held at
the Queen's Head Tavern, Poultry, to adopt measures to
carry out the objects of the association.
Sir J. WALBISLEY, M.P., president, presided, and en-
tered into a full explanation of the means by which the
council recommended the carrying out of the great ob-
ject of the association, 'a full and comprehensive financial
and Parliamentary reform, as set forth in the House of
Commons by Mr. Cobden and Mr. Hume; household
suffrage (including lodgers), vote by ballot, and triennial
Parliaments; and urging the various gentlemen present
to be stirring in their respective parishes, by getting up
local meetings to support the council in the great objects
which they sought to obtain.
Mr. GEESIN could assure the meeting that the ma-
jority of the inhabitants of Westminster were most
anxious to give their full and entire support to the as-
sociation.
Mr. PRouT said, as one of the most active members
of the Westminster Reform Association, he should take
care that at their next meeting a proposition should be
brought forward for an effectual agitation, by the form-
ation of associations in every parish within the city of
Westminster.

recollect that the anxiety of the Council was to
carry out to the fullest extent the great principle of a
full Parliamentary reform; but it was not wise for the
Council to act rashly; they ought to be supported by
the public, whose cause it was; and he called upon the
representatives 'of the various parishes present to form
associations in every parish throughout the metropolis.
Mr. PETER TAYLOR moved the following resolution:
—" That this meeting is of opinion that the time has ar-
rived' when it became necessary, in order to avoid the
dangers which lurked in the rising political discontents
of the country, and for the purpose of fairly and ho-
nestly meeting the reasonable demands of the majority
of the people for good and cheap government, to com-
mence such a comprehensive movement as would enlist
general sympathy in the direction of Parliamentary and
fiscal reform.
Mr. SHILLIBEER seconded the resolution; which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. J. T. SERLE moved, " That this meeting pledges
itself individually and collectively to use its utmost ex-
ertions to establish local, Parliamentary, and financial
reform societies in the various districts of the metropolis,
to co-operate with the central association."
The resolution was adopted; and after an explanation
from the Chairman, and a lengthened discussion in en-
tire accordance with the objects of the association, the
meeting broke up.

That quality is high, and price is low.
And really more than ever de I see
The very little hole they make in thee.
Hence I again to MOSES will repair,
And make a good—a moderate purchase there.
Again with MOSES will I draw my purse,
I can't no oetter—Out I could au worm,.
And thus concludes this tributary verse.

THE NEW NOVEL "ROCKINGHAAL"—The Quarterly
Review, just published, thus notices this work, which is
at present exciting so much attention :—" A new hook
which, from internal evidence, must have been written by
a person constantly mingling in the highest English
society, reaches us when this sheet is in the press, other-
wise, on many accounts, we should have much wished to
make it the subject of a separate article in this number.
That is now impossible, but we beg to call our readers'
attention, in case the novel has not come in their way,
to ' Rockingham; or the Younger Brother.' The work
abounds in interest; and, indeed, we should be at a loss
to name another recent novel that shows anything like
the same power of painting strong passion—or, rather
we should say, the strong passion of gentle natures, and
this, too, under all-the habitual restraints of education,
principle, and self-control."
It is said that Sir Archibald Galloway has gene-
rously given a cadetship to the son of Major-General
Whist], in.reaognition of his distinguished services. The
youth was in his father's camp during the late siege
operations.

[PRICE SD.

the discharge of these 6,000 seamen amounts to
240,0002—the exact sum which we annually pay to
one company for enntrnctin4. to carry letters from
Southampton to the West Indies and back. We allow
our sailors to starve in the street, but we can find
24,0001. wherewith to patch up the rotten Vernon, and
8,000/. for repairing one of the ex-Surveyor's unhappy
two-deckers. We can still find means to set up ships in
frame, and then pull them to pieces, to gratify amateur
architects, as has been the case with the Princess Royal,
at a loss of 11,000/. We can afford to lavish 18,5001. per
annum in playing at soldiers in our dockyards, and a
like sum in au insane competition with the packets of a
private company between Holyhead and Kingstown.
Money is scarce and economy must be enforced ; so ourseamenen are sent adrift ; but we can build, arm, and
equip a yacht, and humbly presein4tittoo the President of
Liberia ; and we can even fling 8 ,00 into the sea at
Dover, under pretext of building a harbour of refuge,

it is impossible to avoid making comparisons between
what has been done in compliance with the public de
mend for reduced expenditure, and what might here
been accomplished, had the Executive seriously set to
work in earnest for the abolition of abuses. These,
however, for the most part, remain untouched, and are
as prominent in their deformity as heretofore. We still
see enormous sums lavished upon an ineffective
list of officers ; still witness an expensive and
ruinous system of dock•yard extravagance, and
a host of subordinate boards and offices, whose exist-
ence is unknown, save through the medium of their
mismanagement—altogether making up an outlay of
public money, which, if applied to its legitimate use,
would render the naval force of Great Britain as effec-
tive as it is now decrepit, and increase, by one-fourth,
the power of protection, which the English flag is called
upon d
upon to afford in so many parts of the globe. Campari-
' sons may eventually be carried further, and individuals
as well as boards arraigned at the bar of public opinion.
Cases of such gross injustice can no longer be perpe•
trated with impunity. If this country is to maintain her
position of maritime supremacy, the pressure must not
be allowed to fall with such inequality upon different
parts of the same body. All should share and share
alike, or, if any difference were made, it should be in
favour of those least able to protect themselves ; and
the reduction should be distributed in the same propor-

Lion as prize money—" the greater part amongst the
officers."

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,
SOUTH EASTERN.
An adjourned meeting of the shareholders of this
company was yesterday held at the Bridge House Hotel,
for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee
appointed by the shareholders to inquire into the affairs
of the company. The chair was taken at one o'clock
precisely, by James M'Gregor, Esq.
The CHAIRMAN said that he had to inform the meeting
that the committee of proprietors appointed to inquire
into the affairs of the company at the half-yearly meet-
ing of the Bth of March last, had communicated to the
directors, by a letter dated the 3d instant, that they
would not be prepared to make their report to the share-
holders that day. The directors, in order to avoid giving
unnecessary trouble to the proprietors in attending the
meeting, had issued a letter to them, dated the sth inst.,
acquainting them that the meeting would be held pro
forma, for the purpose of moving a further adjournment.
He had, therefore, to move that the meeeting be further
adjourned to the 17th day of May next, to the same
place, at one o'clock in the afternoon precisely. By that
time the directors were informed the committee would
be fully prepared to make their report to the share-
holders. _ _

Mr. RENSHAW seconded the motion, and the meeting
immediately adjourned.

SOUTH DEVON.

A special meeting of this company was held on Tues•
day at Plymouth, for the purpose of determining on the
expediency of raising money by the issue of new shares
to pay off part of the debenture debt; Mr. Woolcombe
in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN stated that a circular had been sent
to each shareholder, explaining the general tenor of the
scheme. The object was that the proposed new stock
shall be so created as, in fact, to change places with an
equal amount of the debenture debt, and, consequently,
become a first charge upon the railway at 5 per cent. per
annum. The directors had already received the un-
qualified assent of the majority of the proprietors of
whole and half shares; but inasmuch as they had entered
into an engagement with the preference shareholders, it
was necessary that the consent of those should be ob-
tained to the placing of these new shares in the
same position with the debenture bonds, of which they
were to take the place, enjoyed already. It Wail
the opinion of Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Lloyd that
the directors could not prudently or safely propose
such a scheme without first obtaining the consent
of each holder of preference shares. They also
recommended that the authority of the shareholders
should be obtained to introduce a Bill in the present
session to sanction the scheme, and that the meeting be
further adjourned until the result shall have been ascer-
tained. He concluded by moving resolutions approving
generally of the plan proposed, empowering the directors
to take the necessary steps to carry the plan into effect,
and to adjourn the meeting to a day in May to receive •
further report.
Mr. Fox was anxious that the resolution should be
placed upon the books of the company, which would show
that the scheme was assented to by the proprietors only
on the clear undertanding that tho money to be raised
under it should be taken to represent borrowed capital of
the company, and that the borrowing powers should be
taken to have been exercised to the fall extent. He sag.
gested that power might be taken in the proposed Bill to
convert the 6 per cent. preference stock into a permanent
5 per cent. stock, in case it should hereafter be desirable
to do so.

The CHAIRMAN was convinced that such an arrange-
ment would be very beneficial to the shareholders, pro-
vided it could be effected on equitable terms. The gua-
rantee on the preference stock had nine years to run.
These resolutions, with the additions proposed by Mr.
Fox, were then put and carried.
A long conversation ensued with regard to the posi-
tion the company stood in with reference to the arrears
of calls due by Mr. Stevens and Mr. Saunders. It ap-
peared that both these gentlemen questioned the legality
of the preference shares, and demanded repayment of
the sums respectively paid by them on account of those
shares. The former gentleman demanded credit for the
sum he paid on 1,033 preference shares, and the latter
the sum of 2,8201. for the first call he paid upon them.
The company had taken active proceedings against Mr.
Stevens, on his promissory note, for the recovery of
23,0001. The directors had done all they could to in-
duce Mr. Saunders to take a different view of the matter,
but they had not succeeded. An action had, therefore,
been brought against him; and they had no doubt the
validity of the preference shares would be established,
and Mr. Saunders' liability confirmed.
Mr. Harm` complained of those gentlemen who were
indebted to the company to the amount of nearly
40,000/. endeavouring to throw off their liability.
A resolution, authorising the directors to raise
15,0001. under the powers of the Plymouth Great
Western Dock Act, upon the security of the shares bold
by the South Devon Company in the Dock Company,
was agreed to.
The meeting then separated.

NORWEGIAN WATER. TELESCOPES.—How slow We
sometimes are in copying the simple and useful inven•
tions of our neighbours is exemplified in our being so
long in applying an instrument which the people of
Norway have found of so great utility that there it
scarcely a single fishing-boat without one. We mean
the water telescope or tube, of three or four feet in length,
which they carry in their boats with them when they go
a-fishing. When they reach the fishing ground, they
immerse ono end of this telescope in the water, and
leaning over the gunwale of the boat, with their head,
or rather the whole of their face, closing up the other
end, so as to exclude the light from dazzling the eye
and distracting the vision, they look intensely through
the glass, which shows objects some ten or fifteen fathoms
deep as distinctly as if they were within a few feet of the
surface ; by which means, when a shoal of fish conies
into their bays, the Norwegians instantly prepare their
nets, man their boats, and go out in pursuit. The first pro-
cess is minutely to survey the ground with their
glasses, and, where they find the fish swarming about
in great numbers,t then they give the signal. and sur-
round the fish with their large draught nets, ofan
