TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1e46. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
thee paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weckley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor,
trinity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, if the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weelc.ley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenstor, 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-
perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume itis far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
!ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
I vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
Irevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
kair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
Rost aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
n the crown of the hea.l; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
air ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
cads, 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.

The supply of Bet;Siso;;;;leL.Tre to-day being con-

the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at a de—

clearance was not effected. There were in the market.
10 Oxen from Spain ; 542 Beasts, 2,610 Sheep, 136
Calves, and 20 Pigs from Holland and Germany, in very
middling condition. Owing to the largo arrivals from.
abroad, the numbers of Sheep were rather extensive.
Prime old Downs, which were very scarce, mostly pro-
duced full currencies ; but the value of all other kinds
had a downward tendency. Calves, though in good
supply, moved off steadily at late rates. Pigs were a
slow sale, at our quotations. Milch Cows were quoted
at from 151 to 181 each, including their small Calf.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.

The best qualities of New Hops are in moderate re-
quest ; but the middling and inferior kinds are still
much neglected, and sales have been concluded on easier
terms. The prices now realised are entailing very great
losses to the growers ; but when they will improve it is
impossible to say, the pressure for money rendering
speculation wholly out of the question. There is still
an extensive supply of Yearlings and Old flops on offer
at very low figures ; but we hear of no transactions in
them. The remainder' of the duty for Sussex and Kent
is expected to be announced in a few days. That for

FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE.

MANCHESTER, DEC 23. This morning, shortly
after two o'clock, a fire was discovered to have
broken out in the shop of Mr. Charles Healy, cloth
dealer, Shude-hill, which we regret to say was at-
tended by fatal consequences.
The flames were first seen by Mr. Stephen Neil, the
inspector of nuisances, and information was immedi-
ately conveyed to the town yard, and in a very short
time Mr. Rose and a body of firemen were on the
spot. On their arrival it was found to be impossible
to save the building, which was a very old one. When
the fire first broke out there were five persons sleeping
in one small room—namely, Mrs. Healy, her two-
sons, a daughter, and an old femaleseva

her escape, and that of her two sons, out of the win-
dow on to the roof of a lower building,
and h teser-
vant woman had made her way down stairs,but, .
ar
the hope of rescuing Mary Healy, who was about
nine years of age, returned to the room, where they
old
both perished. The woman, when found, was
crouched up in a corner quite dead, and the little
girl was found opposite the door, with her hands in an
erect position, as if in a state of fright. She was also
dead. The building and stook, which is valued a
about 1,500/. only, is insured.
Great credit is due to Mr. M. Thrackray and Mr.
Rose for their exertions in rescuing the family from
`their perilous position.

SMITHFIELD.

An unusually small supply of Beasts was on sale in
our market this morning, while its general quality was
very inferior. The few prime Scots, &c., (tiering, found
buyers, at from 4s 8d to 5s per 81bs, but all other breeus
were heavy, at barely late rates. The show of foreign
stock consisted of 112 Beasts, 260 Sheep, and 22 Calves,
i❑ very middling condition. With Sheep we were
scantily supplied. Prime old Downs sold at Monday's
currencies. Otherwise, the Mutton trade was in a slug-
gish state. In Calves, only a limitsd business was doing;
yet prices were mostly supported. The Pork trade was
heavy, at unaltered figures. Milch Cows were a mere
drug, at irom 141 to 171 lOs each, including their small
Calf.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.
The change of wind having enabled several vessels,
which have been out some time, to make their passege,
the arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week
hare been tolerably extensive; yet, as most of the
cargoes were disposed of previous to arrival, the show
of samples here to-day was small. Selected qualities
were in moderate request, at full prices; but all other
kinds were much neglected. The business doing in
Foreign Wheat was limited, nevertheless previous rates
were mostly supported. Fine Malting Barley was quite
as dear, but grinding and distilling sorts

SHERIFFS' COURT; Dec. 23.

WALKER V. SHACKELL.—FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
(Continued from Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. Sergeant WILKINs then called several wit-
nesses to prove that defendant told plaintiff that if he
gave up the paper he had nothing more to do with
the matter, as there was no rent due, but Brotherton
said that what they had got on the van they would
stick to, and Walker (the plaintiff) said, " Follow us
how you will we will do you at last."
Mr. Wentworth, an upholsterer, at Turham-green,
deposed to having sent in furniture to Clarke-
cottage, to the value of 180/., but which he
had not been paid. He was present when
the goods were being removed. He followed
them to the station-house, and instructed some per-
sons to watch the goods, with the view of recovering
them, but he did not succeed.

Silas Eyles, a china and glass dealer, proved that
he had sent in some goods, some on sale, and some on
hire, which were also removed by plaintiff and the
men. He had not been paid.
John Stavill was called to prove that the goods were
removed from place to place.
Mr. Sergeant JONES objected to this evidence.
Mr. CISARNOCK (for defendant) submitted that he
was entitled to give evidence to show that the plain-
tiff and others were aware that they were doing
wrong, especially after the remark of the plaintiff
that they would " do" them, let them watch how
they might.
The UNDER-SHERIFF admitted the evidence; and
it was proved that the goods were removed from
place to place, and that the parties watching had
been threatened to be given into custody if they at-
tempted to touch the goods.
The jury said they had made up their minds, but
Mr. Sergeant JONES claimed his right to reply, con-
tending that whatever intimacy there might exist be-
tween Clarke and Young, or whatever the miscon-
duct of either, which however had not been proved,
it ought not to prejudice the plaintiff who was acting
under the direction of his master, and was wholly
ignorant of any impropriety in the act of recovering
the property.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and
the jury gave a verdict for plaintiff for one farthing.
The case occupied nearly five hours.

I tell you again I don't care for

their threats ; they shall not deter me from the pur-
suit of my duties and my business by day and by
night ; and no threats, nor " Molly Maguire" notes,
shall drive me from this place or this country. No,
my friends, lam determined to remain with you, and
help you, if I can." It is unnecessary to comment
upon this admirable conduct. Sir RICHARD O'DONEL
is deserving of the public gratitude itir the manner in
which he has acted ; while, if the Mayo Constitution
is right, and that he has been slandered and de-
nounced from the altar, his reverend calumniator
will merit the most severe censure that can be in-
flicted. The scene is reported to have taken place in

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

C+ CORN EXCHANGE.—FRIDAY.
The change of wind having enabled several vessels,
which have been out some time, to make their passege,
the arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week
i l'iave been tolerably t•xtensive; yet, as most of the
c argoes were disposed of previous to arrival, the show
o f samples here to-day was small. Selected qualities
v -ere in moderate request, at full prices; but all other
Ii inds were much neglected. The business doing in
Foreign Wheat was limited, nevertheless previousui
rateste
we re mostly supported. Fine Malting Barley was
ass fear, but grinding and distilling sorts were a s
low er. Although the quantity of Malt notwashs
. e
that article was dull, at barely stationary rice
supp ly of Oats being large, all kinds moved
at a . slight decline in value. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
and )Tour, were a very slow inquiry. laavTriagihdyeee:

never applied to me to accept of bail. I certainly said
nothing at all about bail to him, for I looked upon
the case as a very bad one, but if he had produced
bail, I would of course have accepted it. I was
present when the father of the lady appeared, and I
never witnessed more bitter misery, and I did not
think it incumbent upon me to make any communica-
tion calculated to diminish whatever the defendant
might be suffering.
Amongst the papers found upon the person of the
defendant, were some blank cheques of the London
and Westminster Bank, and some letters which plainly
indicated that Mr. Kavanagh had large pecuniary
resources.

Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk at the Mansion-
house, went to the London and Westminster Bank, to
request to be informed whether Mr. William Henry
Kavanagh kept an account, or was known there.

A clerk of the London and Westminster Bank im-
mediately attended, and identified the defendant as a
person who had for years kept an account with that
establishment.

The LORD MAYOR—Has he an account now with
your establishment ? Witness—Yes ; he has a very
large balance, but I do not consider myself at liberty
to say how much it is.

Tlie LORD MAYOR (to the complainant)—Can you
say that the defendant took away your daughter against
her will The complainant—l cannot say so, my
Lord ; but the case is most atrocious. It has ruined
the happiness of my family.
The LORD ➢IAYOR—What is the age of your
daughter ? The complainant—She was nineteen in
July.

The LORD MAYOR—The charge of abduction falls
to the ground, for she is above sixteen years of age,
and you cannot say there was any compulsion used.
Defendant, I cannot detain you in custody. I am
prevented, by the state of the law in this case, from
doing as I should wish. I cannot look upon your
conduct in the light of a robbery. Although I con-
sider your intention to be base from the commence-
ment,. I do not consider it to be felonious.
Mr. Kavanagh was then discharged.
Mr. Graham, a merchant, called at the Mansion-
house to inform the Lord Mayor that the fellow who
had attempted to impose upon Mr. Walter; M.P. for
Nottinghom, through the means of the forged letter
and petition, had contrived, by his ingenuity, to
plunder him of a sovereign.
The LORD MAYOR—He is now at hard labour in
Bride well, and will be there for three months, and
you can come here when his time will be out and
make your representation.
Mr. Graham—He certainly deserves three months
more.

Bill, founded upon the above principles, would be
beneficial to all the parties interested, and most useful
to the community at large. They are the more in-
duced to think that this would be the case, by the
(universally admitted) fact—by all the witnesses who
were examined upon the point, that the closing of the
public-houses till one o'clock in the afternoon had
been attended with the best results. The wish ofyour
Committee is—to liberate (net to fette and to give
to the different classes engaged in Sunday trading a
day of rest, without interfering with the necessary
comforts of the other classes of society.
