and restores Hair; also Whiskers, Mustachios, Eyebrows,

latest period of life; changes grey hair to its original colour—

Glossy. In dressing Hair, it keeps it firm in the curl, unin-
jured by damp weather, crowded rooms, or in the exercise of

for a Beautiful Head of Hair.

Siit—The narrow escape our manufactory has had
from being destroyed by fire is sufficiently calamitous,
without the spreading of a false report, which may do
us much more injury than the partial loss of stock which
we have suffered. We therefore ask the favour that

as will counteract the prejudicial tendency of the report
you have given in your Paper. The following is a true

PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.—It must be exceed-
ingly gratifying to those who exert themselves to im-
prove the morals of the working classes to know that the
number of persons, chiefly mechanics, who visited the
public institutions on Monday (boxing-day), which is
far exceeded that of any former
similar a holiday,
similar period. the National Gallery on that day was
visited by 15,000 persons, the British Museum by up-
wards of 14,000. The Adelaide Gallery, and the Poly-
technic Institution had their share—the former near
9,000. Greenwich Hospital was visited by an immense
number, as was also the Royal Arsenal and Rotunda at
Woolwich. Such a thirst for intellectual and rational
amusement was nut before known to exist to such an ex-
tent amongst the working classes, particularly on the oc-
casion of a universal holiday ; indeed, in many populous
neighbourhoods, the gin shops were nearly deserted, and
the Police state that there were no more cases of drunken-
ness in the street on Monday evening than on ordinary
occasions.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALUS—YesTsenAY.
Our report of yesterday's betting will present few changes
from the quotations made on Thursday. Business was languid
in all respects, and particularly on the three favourites, who
were in very little request. Coronation, it is said, will be sent
to Coventry for the Trial Stakes. Of the next lot of favourites,
taking in those from 20 to 2r.• to 1, Ralph was most in favour,
having been backed in the first instance at 25 to 1 and after-
wards two or three times at 1,000 to 45. Palmmon opened at
22 to 1, was-tracked -by two or three parties for small amotua,
.and closed at the average of"the fortnight. 20 toll
Marshal Soult was taken for 1,000 even agst Knight of the
Whistle, and found rather a powerful supporter at the odds
stated below. Cameleon declined at one moment to 25 to 1,
but this having been taken, he rallied, and at the finish, no
one would have laid so much by a eonple of points. Galaor
(Darioletta, colt) had many friends, and several tens and scores
were put on Van Amburgh. osque and Paul Potter at
long cads. Scott's lot was backed for 2001. at 9to 2, and for
1001. at a fraction less. The general odds at the close of a
dull and unimportant afternoon stood as follows :

Ma. O'CONNELL.—The Hon. and Learned Member for

DISC RANCIIISEMENT IN IRELAND.—Even without the aid
of Lord Stanley's Bill the work of disfranchisement has been in
rapid progress.
Mr. Henry Grattan, in a letter addressed to-day to the
freeholders of Kildare, regretting that he cannot attend their
meeting, says, that he has analysed the return relative to the
representation of Ireland, recently laid on the table of the
House, and the result proves the a imfranehisement of Ireland.
Since 1835 there has been a decrease of near 20,000 electors—
at present, if we allow fur dew hs and absence, the number avail-
able probably does not exceed 70,000 effec,ive voters."
MEETING IN DERRY,—A meeting was lately held in the
Derry Court-house, for tl e purpose of co-operating with the
society about being formed in this town, for promoting the cul-
ture of flax Ireland. The various speakers all concurred in
opinion that.. this country should not import that article from
any other kingdom, since, with a little attention, it could be
rendered as good in quality as the Dutch.

REPORT OF THE IMPORT DUTIES COMMITTEE'

We understand that this now for-ever-cele-
brated document, or some abridgment of it, has
been reprinted at New York., and is circulated in
America very largely. We are heartily glad of
this, for the knowledge of the inutility, or rather
the mischiejousness of what is calledprotection, is
as much required in the United States as here. It
may reach that country in time to warn the people
by our example against the commercial suicide,
by a tariff, which they are meditating. We are
much pleased also to learn that the abridgment
of the Report, published by a weekly Contempo-
rary, has been reprinted at Carlisle, and sold to
a very large amount. The very useful informa-
tion supplied by that invaluable Report is spread-
ing all over the country, indeed all over the
world, and is producing an effect such as never
Parliamentary document of that nature produced

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A most successful season closed at this theatre
last night. After the performances of the even-
ing Mr. Webster, the lessee, came forward and
delivered the following address which was re-
ceived with warm applause :
" Ladies and Gentlemen—Each succeeding season seems to
bring with an incre ,se of your patronage, and I hare so often
had to gratefully thank you, that I am really at a loss to find
words sufficiently varied and forcibly to express of feelings on
the present occasion—indeed, words can never iittficiently or/
press the deep debt of gratitude I owe you ; but I will endea-
vour, by unwearied exertion, and a free use of the means you
have placed within my power, to deserve the liberality you have
hitherto extended to my efforts in catering for your amusement.
Ladies and Gentlemen, with to-night, this theatre will have
been open, continually and prosperously with the legitimate
drama only, a twelvemonth and a day, and in that time up-
wards of three hundred nights' salary have been paid to every
individual regularly engaged on this establishment—a circum-
stance unprecedented in theatrical history, and proving that
those who rail at the want of support to the highest ()icier of
dramatic writing abuse the public taste most unjustly ; for, to
judge of the future by the past, I could, I verily believe, be
open from year's end to year's end during the remainder of my
term with considerable profit to myself, and, I am presuming
enough to hope, with some gratification to you. The
extension kindly granted to this theatre by the Lord
Chamberlain has been a boon to both the actors and
manager, for they have lost no time, and I have been
enabled to run Sir E. L. Bulwer's comedy of Money
for eighty consecutive nights. The close of this
theatre is compulsory to re-decorate, repair, and thoroughly
cleanse it, which shall be done with a studious regard to the
comfort and accommodation of the numerous visitors [who
honour us with their presence. The re-opening will be on
Easter Monday, with Mr. Power, who, I am happy to inform
you, has entirely recovered his health, Mr. Buckstone, and
Madame Celeste, in addition to the many eminent artists form-
ing the company of this season now terminated. Mr. Charles
Kean will also appear for a limited number of nights in May
next; and the whole talent engaged will, I trust, be worthily
brought into play by the first dramatists of the day ; among
whom I may mention, as already actively at work, Mr. Poole,
Mr. Jerrold, Mr. Bernard, and Mr. Sheridan Knowles.
Again heartily and sincerely thanking you, Ladies and Gentle-
men, I most respectfully, in the name of the performers and
myself, until the 12th of April next, bid you farewell."

it is thought that it may be read in a public sitting on Tues-
day next.

0n occasion of the resolution adopted by the Diet of the
German Confederation to fortify Ulm and Rastadt the Gazette
de France exclaims with reason, " Thus it is not Berl n and
Vienna that are to be surrounded with bastions and citadels.
The reasons alleged by M. Thiers for fortifying the capital,
have not imposed on the goad sense of Germany.,
A letter hich we have received from Florence, d ited
March 1, informs us that the Austrian Government, with the
consent of the Grand Duke, has just established a Cabinet noir
in the capital of Tuscany. Florence has long been the quiet re-
sidence of fo-eiguers from all countries, who resort to it for the
enjoyment of tranquillity, and for the benefit of their health.
The Court of Vienna has calculated that by this means it may
be informed of every thing that is passing in Europe, and as
the Grand Duke is only a vassal of Austria, the execution of
this project has been attended with no difficulty. All letters
coming from abroad, are not only unsealed and read by the
Austrian police, but they are irrevocably kept if they contain
the slightest equivocal phrase however important the contents
of the letter may be to the person to whom it is addressed.
