TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
aper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was pat into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" airs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grinistone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
ncl the whole of her hair is mach stronger and mere luxuriant than
ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Rogenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I Is. 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, bat as a cure et nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasere in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact;,.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
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
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the totlet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the grown of the heal ; 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 of testimonials.
All letters addressed to William Grimstone Herbary, Highgate.

THE WEATHER.

On Sunday a very marked change took place
in the weather. The wind had been northerly and
mild for several days previously, with an appearance
of settled weather, but on Saturday afternoon
symptoms of change appeared. The barometer
went down upwards of half an inch, and on Sunday morn-
ing snow and sleet poured down pretty freely, which con-
tinued all day. But towards the evening the wind, which
.had veered to the north-east, blew sharply and cold, with
strong indications of frost. About eight o'clock the frost
set in in right good earnest—the thermometer, which
stood at 49 on Saturday, went down to 33 on Sunday
noon, indicated 26 at eleven o'clock on Sunday night,
and was just 20 on Monday morning. The severity
of the frost was now felt all over town and
country;—men, horses, and vehicles in full slide
and slip over roads and streets frozen over, with snow
several inches deep—rendered the more slippery from
the suddenness of the frost over a wash of melted snow.
We have not yet heard of any serious accidents; but the
storm of snow has continued all day up to the time we
write, half-past six o'clock, Monday evening—the
greatest fall we have had for these two years.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

ROUSE OF COMMONS, Fekts.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. lIASTIE hoped that it would never be said of
him that he had stated in private what ho feared
to state in public. What he had stated
to the House, he had stated on the authority
of the reports presented to Parliament, and delivered
to each Member, every Honourable Member could
see for himself, lay reading those reports, that the
e n
and the
farmers Irish s
Irish landlords had not as a body done
their
iermidddluetmy. The laininduhl)dr,disv,henthtey
the lessees,
of the failure of the potato croi), have formed them-
selves into committees for the purpose of averting the
total amount of the failure, and giving accurate in-
formation to the Government upon the subjeol.
Everything was to be found by English money. The duty
of this supervisor was to ascertain what was the usual
quantity of potatoes grown in each parish, and what was
the failure of the crop. What was the quantity of oats
in each parish, and having ascertained that they ought
to have made reports to her Majesty's Government and to
this House. If the property of Ireland were to be assessed
to the poor-r: oin an equal degree with that of Eng-
land, 1,500,0001. to 1,800,0004 a-year would bo required
~rom the Irish landlords. In Ireland, the gross rental
from land was known to be upwards of 15,000,0001. a
year. The usual assessment on land in England was
ten per cent, and it was not until the Irish landlords had
borne a burden equal to that that they could be in a
position to come to the people of this country and ask
for relief. But whets that was done, then he was quite
sure that no man would refuse to bear his share in ren-
dering all the assistance he could.
Sir D. NORREYS said that Sir W. Beecher, who had
formerly had a seat in that house, had been made a district
surveyor, about six weeks or two months ago, and he thought
that such charges as those of the Right Hon. Baronet should
have been restrained until his report of the districts was stia
.de.
be ore
The Hon Baronet had not made his charges fairly, for
he made them he ought to have inquired how far his state-
me me its were justified by the condition of the whole of e
hundred and thirty-six districts in Ireland, and whether nine
out of ten of the several woe khouses were not perfectly. full.
The country gentlemen, in many instances, had, been
to extend the poor-law, when tie "Poor Cenittossionc..-
have stepped ill and pievented them. He did ;int mean to be
the apologiser of all the Irish landlords, but, considering the
panic which prevailed, they had exerted themselves better_
than under the circumstances might have been expected. The

COVENTRY AND NUNEATON•

A meeting of the directors and shareholders of this
line was appointed to be held at Der's Royal Hotel,
Birmingham, yesterday ; but in consequence of non-
attendance no business was transacted. At the last
half-yearly meeting a quorum did not muster, and the
same result followed. The business of the company
is consequently managed by the old board, Without

circumstances
of the monetary condition of the country
the directors did not feel justified in adopting
this course. Their anticipations as to the probable

GI N.—Those who have been restrained from
the use of this favourite national beverage, by the known
existence, in every kind of Gin that has hitherto appeared in the
market, of properties alike injurious to the health, and more or less
offensive to the taste, will hear with satisfaction the announcement
by Messrs. BETTS of a most valuable discovery in the mode of ma-
nufacturing this article, whereby in exquisite delicacy of flavour, in
entire freedom from impurities, and in every other quality attractive
to the connoisseur or general consumer, it is brought to a state of per.
fection, such as they confidently assert it never can attain under the
superintendence of any other manufacturers is the world. This dis-
covery being the subject of a grant of Letters Patent, Messrs. BETTS
and CO. intend to exercise their invention with a view to afford such
as feel disposed to take advantage of the offer an opportunity of pur-
chasing this unrivalled spirit in quantities not less than Two Gallons,
at
14s. per gallon.

misled by the attempts of some shopkeepers, who, to compounds of
their own manufacture. give the titles of " Macassar 011,"

Royalty, and the Government departments, with similar attempts
at deception, while they copy the Bills, Labels, Advertisements,
and Testimonials—substituting fictitious Names and Addresses for
the real—of the Original Preparations, The only genuine " Macs.s-

The especial patronage of her Majesty the Queen, H.R.11. Prince

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

On Saturday night the season at this establishment
was brought to a close. The pieces selected pre-
sented no novelty beyond their being recognised as
favourite dramas, and consisted of—A Curious Case,
Used up, He would be an Actor, and the last new
farce, entitled Early Closing. Mr. Charles Mathews
exhibited his accustomed excellence in the character
of Mr. Twiggleton, Sir Charles Coldstream, and
Motley. At the conclusion of the drama of Used Up,
Mr. Maddox, the lessee, appeared before the curtain,
and delivered the subjoined address. It should be
observed; that the house was well filled, arid at half-
price might be fairly termed overflowing:—
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—After having, with the
exception of a vacation of ten days, kept open house
continually for two and twenty months, I, thanks to
your kind patronage, bring my season, for the seventh
time, to a successful termination. My expenditure
has been great, but your generous support has not
only enabled me to reimburse myself, but has given
me a fair margin of profit into the bargain. Ido
not, ladies and gentlemen, make so unwise a boast as
to say that, This is the only theatre in which the
legitimate drama has found a refuge '—or hazard so
unfounded an assertion as that, even when Shaks-
pere speaks, it is to scanty audiences ;' on the con-
trary, Shakspere does speak here, has spoken here to
anything but scanty audiences,' as crowded audi-
ences, and my pocket can testify.
" Ladies and Gentlemen—l think that we are as
legitimate' as anybody. Mr. Macready and Mrs.
Butler are legitimate,' lawful children—true repre-
sentatives of our divine bard. And is not the talented
Miss Cushman—whom I first had the honour of in-
troducing to a British public—' legitimate,' too ?
And, by the way, I am proud to tell you that I have
formed an engagement with that lady to appear in
Shaksperian plays, in conjunction with Mr. Mac-
ready, on the opening of our next campaign. If that
be not I know not what is.
" Ladies and Gentlemen—After all, the true test of
public opinion is well filled benches, such as I now
see around me, and the very first season that, in
making up my accounts, I find that I am a loser, I
shall think there is something rotten in the state of
Denmark,' and that my mode of catering for your
amusement is unpalateable ; but until that time ar-
rives I shall pursue my present course, exerting all
my energies to please, to give you every satisfaction ;
and, when I issue my programme for the forthcoming
season, I feel convinced that the important engage-
ments it will announce will secure a continuance of
your kind patronage. For the unvarying success
which has attended my labours as lessee of this the-
atre, I beg to tender you my most sincere thanks ;
and, furling the banner of the Princess's, for a few
weeks, in the name of myself and the ladies and gen-
tlemen of this establishment, I most gratefully and
respectfully bid you farewell."
The Grand Duke Constantine and suite, the Rus-
sian Admiral, and Count Orloff, occupied two private
boxes during the evening.

The Hon. G. R. Trevor and Mr. D. A. S. Davis have

Sir Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton and Mr. John
Tollemache have been returned. The latter gentleman,,
although a Protectionist, repudiates the leadership of
Lord George Bentinck, on account of the leaning of that
Noble Lord towards Romanism, and believes the interests
of the country are as safe in the hands of Lord J. Russell
as in those of any other Minister.
