CHURCH-RATES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUPS.
SlR—This day between twenty and thirty pers-ns appeared
to summonses for the non-payment of a Church-rate. Most of
the individuals are Dissenters, and have legal and religious
objections to the rate. 'the legal grounds of objecti-ni are-
1. The original Notice, which, as fixed upon the Parish
Church-door, convenes the meeting for granting a rate, was
not, and could not be produced.
2. That the notices convening the parish were not affixed to
all the doors of the different churches, as required by 1 Vie. 45.
3. That no estimate was produced at the meeting for grant-
ing the rate, though it was asked for.
4. That the rate was ask,-d for. and has been applied to
other churches than for the use of the Parish Church.
5. That Lord Ward's Town Hail and the Tory Library, and
other property, has not been included in the rate.
Th.. same course will be adopted this year as in 1837.
Your article on " Obedience to Laws," in Saturday's paper,
we intend to get printed off for circulation in this town and
neighbourhood. Yours respectfully,
Dudley, March 22, 1841. SAAIUEL COOK.

LADVERTISEMENLI
The attention of our readers is directed to the
following communication addressed to Messrs. Rowland
and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, Louden :—Sir,—l take the
liberty of addressing you a fcw lines. Some years since a
very intimate friend of mine had a serious fit of illness,
and when she began to recever, her hair which was beau-
tiful, came off, leaving large patches all over the head.
After trying various things as restorers, without any benefit,
your Oil was recommended, and she persevered in rubbing
it in daily, using two bottles in four weeks, at the et:el of
which time her hair came again ; and in a short time be-
came more thick and beautiful than before, and lost its
oely fault, a certain degree of harshness. She continued to
use the Macassar Oil moderately up to the time I last saw
her, and though most of her family were very grey, she
had not one grey hair, which she entirely attributed to the
constant use of the Oil. This Lady recommended it to
me. In consequence of head-aches and trials of mind,
my hair began to turn grey ; I persevered in the use of the
Oil, and am happy to say it has quite .redeemed my hair.
You are at libel ty to publish this letter if you please, with
my ieitia's only, and any one may have my name and ad-
dress, by going to your house. I am, Sir, your obedik re
servant, F. H. ll,—Rowland's Macassar Oil prevents hair
from falling off, or turning grey ; changes grey hair to its
original colour, frees from scurf and dandruff; and makes
it beautifully soft and curly.—Ask for " Rowland's Ma-
cassar Oil." The lowest price is 3s. 6d.—the next price
is 75.-10 s. 6d. and 21s. per bottle.
PERSONAL HISTORY OF GEORGE THE
FOURTH.—When Dr. Croly, in undertaki g to wr'te the
" personal history" of George the Fourth t ,rmiaed that
(to use his own words) he would ‘! tell the truth, andfear
no wan," he entered upon a bald and bee adous, but a
most interesting and ust fel task, and its eminent success
has justified the plan on which he precsedel. When it is
also recollected that the " personal" history of George
the Fourth was, in its early periods in particular,
more singular and romantic than half the fictions of our
most inveie ve novelists, and that it is this " personal" his-
tory alone tlit Dr. Croly offers to us, the
second edilote
which has just appeare l, has been carefully revised, and
contains much additional new matter.
POLICE COURT—CURIOUS CASE.—On Wed-
nesday last a tall bliad man, who gave his name as Thomas
Ware, appeared et the Felice bar under the following cir-
cumstances Emus that some evil-disposed persons in
London, with a view to iejure him, had circulated a state-
meet that his real r ame was H :re, and not Ware,
and that he was a brother or relative of flare the
nutorieus " busker," as well as principal witness
aerinst him ie the memorable trial at Edinburgh.
In consequence of the prevalence of this opinion,
he states that ho had been persecuted wherever he
went, and that his life was even placed in con.
side agile jeopardy ; so much was this the case,
that, under the advice of one of the London
magistrates, he had considered it necessary to travel
all the way to Edinburgh, which be did on foot, to obtain
a certificate from the authorities that the statement was
untrue. Being totally unknown here, either as regards
the trial of Hare or otherwise, Bailie Grieve, the sitting
magistrate, and Captain Stuart, the Superintendent of

IPnealni eexpressed
