TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put lit
the 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. Grimstone, of the llerbary, High-
:etc 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's much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was befere the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s
itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 11 s. bottle U they *ere as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, 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, ate w
drops en the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, male it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
tew drops ea your hairbrush before brushing tke hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic kerbs and lowers with confidence; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases et nevelts headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown et the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
bour. In most cues relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
/Lair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
beads, 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 of testimonials.
All totters addressed to William Grimstene. Herbary, Plifthgate.

AN ARTILLERYMAN SHOT.-CHATHAM, AUG. 18

—Yesterday the Royal Artillery at this garrison assem-
bled at the usual place at Upnor, for the practice of
musketry ball firing; they were firing in companies, and
it is the custom for the front man to advance from the
ranks a few paces, and fire at the target; as soon as he
has fired, he recovers arms, and takes the place of the
rear man, who advances in front. It appears that gunner
William Hepper was the front man in the company, who
advanced and fired,and the rear man, William Millanald,
whose piece was loaded, brought down his musket in a
straight position, and was about placing the cap on the
nipple of his piece, when by some cause the gun went off
ust as he was
taneous. The

to No. 4 Company of the 11th Battalion. He was re-
moved to the garrison hospital to await a coroner's in-
quest, which was held this day by Mr. J. Hinde, one of '
the county coroners, and a verdict returned that " The
deceased was accidentally shot." It is reported that
M'l)onald will be tried by a court-martial.
EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OP a BURGLAR.—Yes-
terday morning, a little after two o'clock, the policeman
on duty near 32, Oxford-street, discovered that the house
had been broken into. He instantly alarmed the inmates
and procured assistance, when he commenced a general
search for the burglars. He found that the whole of the
plate had been removed, and feeling satisfied that the
thieves were in the house, be ascended to the upper part
and saw two men climbing up the ladder leading to the
roof. He caught hold of one of them and handed him
over to the custody of anotheri constable while be fol-
lowed the other thief, who, n attempting to get away,
fell from the roof and was dashed to pieces. The name
of the man in custody is Frederick Veal or Peal, and the
deceased is known to the police, but his name has not

been ascertained.
FOREIGN POTATOES.—The vessel Flecha, from
Ghent, has brought 44 tons weight of new potatoes as
a portion of her cargo, the produce of Belgium.

GUTTA PERCUA BOAT.—A beautiful out-rigger, of the Coldstream, at present quer-
feet long, constructed of gutta percha, has been launched
45
at York by Mr. Demaiu, a young and ingenious me-
chanic. The lightness of the boat and its perfect secu-
rity from leakage are remarkable. The gutta percha
answers so well that five others of a similar size are in
the course of being built. Tho perfectly waterproof
qualities of this novel material seem to render it an
article of peculiar value, not only as shoe soles but for
numerous nautioal purposes.
London, England, 1849-08-20

oug,ht during the latter, as it was during the former half
of last month, afad the value noticed in cur last has
hardly been maintained. Shell lac and lac dye continue
to keep their ground, and an active business has been
doing in both the articles at full prices. In minor arti-
cles we have something more than the usual scale of
business to report ; although, in regard to value, no ma-
terial alteration has taken place.
Under the import division of our report we have con-
siderable improvement to notice since our last issue.:
Up to about the middle of last month the market was
languid and value had declined ; but since then opera-
tions have been on a more extensive scale, and prices
have been more satisfactory. A brisk demand has been
making for Manchester piece goods, which have been
place freely. Mule twist likewise participates in the
improvement. The market for metals has been more
active, and gives promise of improvement. Upon the
whole, we cannot but consider the position of this market
as sound and promising; and, now that the rivers have
become navigable, we look for increasing orders from
the upper provinces.
MONEY-MARKET.

We have no new features to notice under this head ;
the market continues in a plethoric state, and money can
readily be obtaiped on good securities at low rates of
discount. The Bazaar is likewise well supplied, and is
easily accessible to good securities. In the rates of the
Bank of Bengal we have no change to notice.
EXCHANGE.—During the early part of last month a
fair amount of business was done, generally at ls. 10fd.
per rupee for six months' sight bills with documents.
Latterly, however, business has been doing on a much
more moderate scale in bills, while produce has been
more freely aysiled of for purposes of remittance. Our
quotations continue at is lOid. to ls. 10td. the rupee.
The demand for good bills at present exceeds the supply.
Our quotations are below
Treasury bills at 30 days' sight, according to amount,
ls. 94. to Is. 9fd. per company's rupee; navy bills at
three days' sight, at ls. 9id. to Is. 9id. per company's
rupee; bank ditto at 30 and 60 days' sight, at Is. 9d. to
Is. 90. per company's rupee; Oriental bank ditto at
sight to six months sight, Is. 10d. per company's
rupee.
Private draughts against shipments at six:monthesight
at lOid. to Is. 104 d. per company's rupee.

FRElGHTS.—Cottritrito our expectations at date of
our last report, the rates cif homeward freightage have
gone down. About the middle of last month the market
%%as pretty steady, and there were appearances of an ad-
vance, but latterly, in consequence of a more than usual
r.umber of arrivals, rates have fallen considerably and
are likely, for some time at least, to remain low.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sut,—My predictions on the Wolverhampton and
Chillington Stakes were verified to the letter, Snowstorm
having won the former, with The Model and Dough
close up; and Harriott the latter, without giving her
antagonists the shadow of a chance.
York, one of the oldest meetings in that modern
Epirus, the county of Yolk, if not in England,
next claims my attention; it dates its existence
from the early part of the last century, and some
eighty years ago the average amount of money run for
exceeded 2,0001. per annum; it, however, has witnessed
many vicissitudes, having in some years-1632, for in-
stance—had as much as 7,0001, on the list for decision;
while at other times, especially since 1833, the
amcunt has dwindled down almost to what it
was eighty years ago. But this state of things
was not destined to continue; Mr. Orton, backed by
Mr. Jaques and several influential supporters of the turf
in the North, came to the rescue in 1843, and the imme-
diate consequence was the establishment of the Ebor
Handicap, Prince of Wales's, and Great Yorkshire
Stakes. From that time'to the present the meeting has
prospered. The amount of money to Le run for this
year exceeds 7,000/.; and from the number of stables
engaged, and the fineness of the weather, I have no
doubt that this meeting will surpass all its predecessors.
The assemblage on the celebrated Knavesmire, on
Wednesday next, will be very great, for that day is
pregnant with the fate of several St. Leger and Derby
candidates; the ball opens with the Dundas Stakes, yet
to close and name.

THE MURDER IN BERMONDSEY.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

The accounts which were given in the morning
papers of Saturday of the circumstances under which
this extraordinary murder has been committed, appear
to be as correct as the present limited sources of in-
formation will allow . The deceased, Mr. Patrick
O'Connor, has been many years in the Cus-
toms as a gauger, which may be surmised from the
fact that he received 3001. a year, and expected
shortly to be superannuated. He was a person
who was well known, and is described as being about
fifty years of age. e was stout, of fair complexion,
and generally of a respectable and gentlemanly
appearance. The person who is understood to be
Mrs. Manning is about twenty-five years of age,
and is said to be good looking and interesting. The
deceased had known her some time previous to her
connexion with Manning ; and while, it is said,
she was in the employ of the Duchess of Sutherland.
Manning, it is now well known, was indicted at the
Old Bailey for his connexion with the late robberies
upon the Great Western Railway, and he is, we are
informed, well known to the police as a person of very
doubtful character. The most extraordinary part
of the circumstance is, that although the murder is
supposed to have been committed on Thursday
evening, Manning and his wife should have
remained at the house for three or four
days afterwards, and should have had daring
enough to *sell their furniture to a broker in the
neighbourhood. It appears that Mrs. Manning
went to the deceased's lodging the day after
the murder was committed, unlocked his drawers,
and took away all the most valuable part of
his property, consisting of foreign railway
bonds and shares, besides 3001. in cash.
No suspicion was attached to her, owing to her being
in the habit of visiting occasionally his lodgings
during his absence. The house where the murder
was committed fortris one of three newly
and neatly-built residences, one story high, with
kitchen underneath, called Minver-place, which
abuts on Ivlolesworth- square, and is said to form a
portion of the property belonging to Sir 'William
Molesworth, Bart., M.P. The Maanings had resided at
it about three months.

On Saturday afternoon an inquest was held at the
Leather Market Tavern, before Mr. Carter, to inquire
into the death of the deceased, but only one witness
had been examined at the time we went to press, a
Mr. Wehh, a personal friend of the deceased,
whose evidence went to show simply that he had ac-
companied the deceased to Manning's house the night
previous to the murder (Wednesday), about ten o'clock,
and that they remained there together about an hour
and :a half. The deceased, being rather faint,
laid upon the sofa and smoked a pipe. They left
together, and parted at the end of Houndsditch.
No evidence except corroborative of the facts
already laid before the public was adduced.
. .

After a brief consultation between the coroner and
jury, it was.ultimately decided that the inquiry should be
adjourned to Friday, at eleven o'clock.

PRUSSIA.

In the Prussian Chamber of Deputies, on the 15th,
the Minister of the Interior announced that the
fullest reparation would be demanded from the Senate
of Hamburg for the attack on the Prussian troops.
The King of PRUSSIA is to allow from his private
income 30,000 thalers per annum to the Prince of
HOHENZOLLERN-SIGMARINGEN, and 10,000 to the
Prince of HOHENZOLLERN-HECAINGEN, for the cession
of their territories. The Prince of SIGMARINGEN is
to receive the title of Royal Prince of Prussia, and
both are to have large estates conferred on them.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.—WC have great SA
tisfaction in being privileged to announce, and wo are
sure the Intelligence will prove highly gratifying to the
people at large, that it is in contemplation to appoint
an early day of fast, prayer, and humiliation, that Pro-
vidence in his infinite mercy may be pleased to stay the
devastating malady with which this and the sister
countries are now sfffictingly visited. The precise day
has not yet been fixed, but we understand that it will
be either Thursday next, or some early day next week
most suited to the convenience of the clergy and the
community at large.—lt is said to be the intention of
her Majesty to confer the honour of a marquisite on Lord
Clarendon, in recognition of his able, judicious, and im-
partial discharge of the Vice-regal duties, and as an
evidence of the heartfelt satisfaction which the Sovereign
derived from her reception in Ireland. The patent con-
ferring a baronetcy on the Lord Mayor of Dublin will be
forwarded to Ireland on Saturday next, from Balmoral,
where it is to receive the royal sign manual. Sir William
Somerville's elevation to the peerage has not been deter
mined on. Sir George Grey will leave Balmoral on
Wednesday afternoon for his seat in Northumberland.
The Right Hon. Gentleman is to be relieved from his
official duties in attendance on the Sovereign by the
First Minister of the Crown, Lord John Russell. Lady
John Russell remains at Richmond Park, not having as
yet sufficiently recovered from her recent indisposition.
The Noble Premier is likely to remain at Balmoral at
least one fortnight. A reduction in the officers and staff
of the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert has been deter-
mined on. In the tremendous sea on Sunday last, on the
passage from Belfast to Greenock, the framework of this
splendid vessel's engine gave way, and she is now under-
going repairs. The freight ship Marlborough, having
troops on board for Bengal, is detained at Portsmouth,
in consequence of the cholera having made its appearance
on board, and some of the men having died. It is ex-
pected that the whole of the detachments will bo com-
pelled to disembark.— Weekly Chronicle.

LEPAGE'S FRENCH MASTER FOR THE

NURSERY.

Second Edition.

This is another work founded on that excellent
principle which trusts more to the understanding of
the learner than to his memory. The object of this
" French Master " is principally to enable his scholars
to speak and understand French. This is attempted
not by means of dialogues in which the English and
French sentences are placed side by side. On the
contrary, the pupil is required to translate the simple
phrases here prepared for him, and then to learn his
own translations. The plan appears an admirable
one; moreover, the name of the author of "L'Echo de
Paris" is a sufficient assurance of the excellence of
this work.

UGO BASSI AND HIS EXECU-
TIONERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The unfortunate priest Bassi carried no arms,
but he certainly carried the wounded to a place of shelter
and assistance ; he certainly administered religious
consolation to the dying. At the battle of Mestre I
saw him commit such acts myself; I can, therefore,
bear witness to his guilt. He was born in the Roman
states, and therefore he was not an Austrian subject.
When taken prisoner by the Vandalo•Austrian blood-
hounds he sought refuge at Venice with the ever
gallant Garibaldi. After a secret mock trial, they
shot him at Bologna for having carried arms. WU
not his blood stain Louis Napoleon ? Austria can no
longer be stained; it is too incarnadine scarlet already.

THE QUEEN V. HAVILAND.

Mr. FYNN moved for a rule nisi, calling upon the
Justices of Sussex to show cause 'why a mandamus
should not issue commanding them to issue a dis-
trees warrant against a Mr. Haviland for the recovery
of poor-rates in arrear, to• the extent of 501. 12s. 601.
This case would raise a question which had never yet
been decided, namely,whether a certificate in bankruptcy
was a bar to a distress for poor-rates, under the 43d of
Elizabeth. The rate was made on the 24th of November,
1848; on the 25th it was allowed; and on the 26th it
was published. On the 23d of December a fiat in
wasbankruptc9thofliarych, I±4
l 8 4i 395,u tehde againstbankrupt
obtainedavilanhdi,s acne dr t
iofine
atthee.
Mr. Haviland never quitted the occupation of the pre-
mises, nor did his assignees elect to take the interest in
them while the bankrupt had taken the crops on the
farm to his own use, although they were sown before the
fiat was issued. Probably this case would never have been
heard of had it not been for the decision of the Court that
a certificate in bankruptcy, or an insolvent debtor's dis-
charge, was nu bar to a distress fur rent. At the hear-
ing before the magistrates an objection was taken on
behalf of the defendant that rent was for the use of land,
but a poor-rate was a personal tax, not on the land, but
in respect of its occupation, and therefore it was barred
by the certificate in bankruptcy. On the other hand, it
was argued that the omission to pay the rate was a quasi
criminal neglect, and that by the 43d of Elizabeth the
rate could nut be treated as a debt. _ _

Mr. JusticePATTESON granted a rulo
NOVEL ♦PPLICATION.
_

Mr. UOGGINS applied to his Lordship for attachment
against an individual named Stubbs, for contempt of
Court. lie moved upon an affidavit, which stated that
the deponent had served a writ of subpoena upon Stubbs,
in a ci.se in which his father was the defendant, and
when he did so Stubbs tore up the copy of the writ in a
great rage, using contemptuous expressions in reference
to the Court, and threatening to kick the st rver if he
did not immediately get out of his sight. The deponent
added that he had other copies to serve in the same
house, but unless he had the protection of the Court he
was afraid to go there in the performance of his duty.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—You may take a rule nisi.
Mr. 119GGINS wished his Lordship to make the rule
absolute in the first instance.
Mr. Justice PerrEsoN said it was not usul,l to do so in
applications for attachments.
Rule nisi accordingly.
