TO THE LADIJEB.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Tines" news_
paper on Aug. 7,1x46. Reader, remember, this letter was put fat
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this *ppm,
:unity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the ilerbary, 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
lever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to'the virtues of Mr. G.
Itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
oerience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact:.-3, Swan-street, Borough.
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drape on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the coral), make it strong, and
prevent 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 delicate ladies may use this delightful precinct of the
nest aromatic herbs aid flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous 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 influenee on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—Soo

n One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
,upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
4ease of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
e'.tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
L•omprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriav, set-
Clement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wetuid more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these Surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

each (by post, in stamps, Is, 6d. each). Let no Imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
ter the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price ls. each,
by Post ls. 6d.) " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and
" How to be Happy." They are not merely
Plmphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the

i%TATIONAL PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.
1. Ntinterous inquiries having been made at this ofilce for the
purpose of ascertaining the opinion of the Board of Directors relative
to the proposed alteration in the third rule of the Institution, by
rendering the retiring Directors eligible for immediate re-election (a
meeting for which purpose has been convened for WEDNESDAY next,

WARD OF FARRINGDON WITHOUT,
January 12, 1849.
At a Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of this ware, held
at the Old Court, Old Bailey, before the Right Hon. the LORD
MAYOR, the Alderman of the ward, " to take into consideration
the present high price of gas."
Resolved—That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that the price
charged for gas is exorbitant, as it is notorious that gas can be
supplied at little more than one—half the price charged for it. It
is, therefore, the earnest wish of this Meeting that the Corporation
of London should adopt the necessary measures in order to obtain
a cheaper supply.
Resolved—That although this Meeting has no reason to doubt the
disposition of their Representatives to obtain for thorn a eheaper
supply of gas, they are, nevertheless, of opinion that it is the duty
of the inhabitants of this ward not to relax in their exertions in
agitating this question until they have succeeded in destroying the
existing monopoly, and they pledge themselves to use all legal
means in their power to attain this object. They are also of
opinion that the Corporation should obtain power either to pur-
chase the present gas main pipes or to lay down others, so that
they may be enabled to lease them to any approved company, who
will supply the inhabitants 'with gas of the best qnality, at the
lowest prices.
Resolved unanimously—That our Representatives in the Court of
Sewers be urged to take into their consideration the propriety of se-
curing a due inspection of the gas supplied, that it may be caused to
he of good quality, and net, as it too frequently is, injurious to the
health and property of consumers. This meeting is also of opinion,
that all gas meters should be stamped by the Ctty authorities, simi-
lar to weights and measures, so as to make them just between buyer
and seller.

Resolved—That the three resolutions which have received the
sanction of this Meeting be embodied into a petition, and that the
same be presented to the Court of Common Council. and that our
Representatives be respectfully requested to support them.
Resolved—That the thanks of this Meeting are due and be hereby
given to the Right Hen. the Lord Mayor, for the able and impartial
manner in which he has presided over this Meeting, and for his rea-
diness in convening it.
Resolved—Thttt these resolutions be: advertised in the usual
Morning and Evening papers.

KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES.
A certain remedy for disorders of the pulmonary organs—in
difficulty of breathing—in redundency of phlegm—in incipient con-
sumption (of which cough is the most positive indication) they are of
unerring efficacy. In asthma, and in winter cough, they have never
been known to fail.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL.

Copy of a Letter from Colonel Hawker, the well-known Author on
" Guns and Shootiag." _ _ .

"Longparish House, near Whitchurch, Hants.,
October 21, 1846.

" Sir,—l cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary effect
that I have experienced by taking only a few of your lozenges. I
had a cough for several weeks that defied all that had been pie-
scribed for me, and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half
a small box of your lozenges, which I find are the only ones that re-
lieve the cough without deranging the stomach or digestive organs.
" I am, Sir, your humble servant,
" P. HAWKER.
" To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Churchyard."
