TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter-inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1346. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of So. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimetone, of 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
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, 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, tao

but
tny to her taste. She will feel a pleasure 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, ale w
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
srevent 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 proauct of the
nest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
dour 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 1; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an
our. In most caws relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
ends, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See

membered, when he was a boy, that there was a
public road through Glen Tilt ; but then there were
no fewer than sixty tenants in the glen, who had been
turned out since to make room for the deer. At that
time, which was about sixty years ago, a prohibition
was issued against all boasts of burden being taken
through the glen; but he had never before heard of
people being excluded.
Mr. TMOMAS thought the conduct of the Duke of
Atholl in the transaction deserved the reprobation of
every patriotic Scotchman, and would willingly sub-
scribe to try the question elsewhere—(Bailie Grrig
—That's going considerably further than I propose)
—but in the meanti:ne he did not think it prud,nt
that they should move in the matter.
A motion was afterwards made that the Council
should delay for a month, till thy saw what steps
were taken by the Edinburgh Association, and had
some further information on the subject ; and upon
this being put to the vote against Bailie Greig's mo-
tion, ten voted upon each side, when the Provost gave
his casting vote for delay.
It is said that there can be no doubt that when the
subject again comes forward Bailie Greig's views will
be espoused by a large majority of the Council.—

HER MAJESTY'S RETURN FROM

THE HIGHLANDS.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 13.—For several days past
very considerable interest bas been created in this
town, in consequence of a report being extensively
circulated that the Queen and her Royal Consort will
return via Fleetwood, and probably through Man-
chester. Up to this hour, however (Monday, four
o'clock), nothing positive is known ; but the indefati-
gable chairman of the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway Company, accompanied by Mr. Hawkshaw,
the engineer, are in communication with her Ma-
jesty's functionaries, and positive information is ex-
pected this evening. Mr. liouldsworth is at Fleet-
wood, ready to obey the royal commands, and is
quite prepared to make the necessary arrangements
for the Queen and her suite, should the route via
Fleetwood be determined upon.

GROUP X LIV.

promoters. The proufs were pat in, and the preamble was de-
el.creci proved.

The Committee then took
THM MDSCNBUR.GH AND NortTanniv
(BRANCHES TO ST. ANDUEWS AND
NEWDUR.GII).

Mr. BELLASII opened for the promoters.
There was hardly any opposition.
Mr. Anderson, banker, Newburgh, and Major Playfair,
provost of St. Andrews, proved the advantagei which the
line would give to these towns.
Mr. Grainger, C.E., was under examination when the Com-
mittee adjourned.

GROUP XLVI.
This Committee met this morning at one.
The following Bills are referred to this group :
North British (No. 1) Bill.
Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton (Leith Extension)Bill.
Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton ( Union Canal and Caledonian
Junction) Bill.
Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton (Leith and Granton Junc-
tion)
Edinburgh and Northern, and Edinburgh, Leith, and Gran ton

Caledonian (Edinburgh Station and Branches to Grantor,
and to the Edinburgh and Glasgow) BilL
The Committee was occupied a considerable portion of the
time in the usual formal arrangements attendant upon enter•
ing the appearances on the various petitioners for and against
the schemes.

At the conclusion of these preliminaries,
The Committee decided upon proceeding with the
NORTH

Mr. HorE opened the case on behalf of the promoters. The
proposed line was about a mile in length, and would leave the
North British Railway at Piershill Barracks, and effect
a junetiol with the south branch at about a mile distance.
The oppoL,ition to the line was not of a very serious nature.
Mr. Jobi), C.E., and Mr. Miller, C.E., were then called to
give evidence in favour of the proposed line.
The Committee then adjourned.
London, England, 1847-05-18

LONDON TO GIIIINTHILM).

Mr. DENISON on the part of the promoters of the Biil, re-
plied, and closed the case with respect to the deviation from
Careby to Grantham, and called upon the Committee to sanc-
tion this part of the line.

GROUP XVIII.
The Committee met this morning, the Earl of Lincoln in
the chair; and it being stated that the opponents were un-
able to come to any arrangement,
Mr. Stephenson was called to show the engineering quali-
ties of the line, and stated that the line was intended to
proceed by the present broad gauge line, but to avoid any
junction at the stations, as is the case at the present time.
on the line of joint gauges between Gloucester and Chelten-
ham. lie intended to have the station at Bristol some feet
above the Great Western station at Bristol, where the com-
pany had already land in possession fi r the station.
Mr. Sanders, inspector of the Birmingham and Gloucester,
said that between 80,000 and 90,000 passengers had passed over
the line to Bristol last year, and that there had been 47,798
tons of goods carried, of which only about 4,000 would have
been transhipped, if the Midland Company had possessed a
station of their own. The trains had been running over the
mixed gauges for the last two years, but no actual collision
had occurred, although there had been several alarms, in con-
sequence of which complaints had been made to the Great
Western Company, and some of their servants had been re-
moved.

Mr. Helps was examined, on the part of landowners, re-
specting the relative convenience or inconvenience to passen-
gers who go either from Wales or from Cheltenham, and
stated that passengers going to the north after their arrival
from Wales )vould have to tranship themselves and their
baggage some distance from the station of one gauge to that
of the other. The traffic, however, on the line is chiefly a
Bristol and Birmingham traffic and no inconveniece practi-
cally would be experienced from that circumstance.
Mr. Payne, the traffic-manager of the line, confirmed this
evidence, and stated further that a quantity or the goods
which now went by water would go by railway, and be
carried in a much better condition than that in which it
now reached the hands of the owners. The quantity of
goods now taken up or put down between Gloucester and
Bristol was very large, and at the present time great incon-
venience is experienced, in consequence of the great traffic
which is brought from two thousand miles of narrow-gauge
railway into the joint station at Bristol.

GROUP XX.
This Committee re-assembled at the usual hour this morn.
ing ; Mr. Goulburn in the chair.
OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER•
HAMPTON (CHELTENHAM AND EVE.

Mr. Vignoles gave evidence at considerable length as to
the practicability and facility of working railways on the
mixed gauge.

Evidence was
was continued for the promoters of the Bill.
Mr. TALBOT then called evidence for the Aberdeen C.
panv opposing, and
Mr. ANDREWS was about to address the Committee agai Est
the Bill, when this privilege was abandoned by both side.
The Committee intimated they could give no decision .on
the preamble till they had the report of the Commissioner m.
ABERDEEN (BRECHIN BRANCH).
Mr. WEBSTER stated that the object of this Bill was• to
deviate slightly from the line sanctioned last year, whet e it
approached the town of Brechin. It was unopposed.
The Committe, without formally deciding the pream
went through the clauses, which were agreed to.
The Committee adjourned till to-morrow.

GROUP X LVIII.
This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock; Lord Courte-
nay in the chair.
GLASGOW, AXRDRID, AND MONNMAN SIB

The case on behalf of this Bill was resumed.
Mr. Paterson, mineral lessee, near Glasgow, gave general
evidence as to the advantages of the central junction in
bringing the minerals of the Monkland and Coatbridge dis-
tricts down to the harbour of Glasgow.
Mr. Christie corroborated the previous witness.
Mr. Sheriff Bell was examined as to the crossing of the
green. He did not think the gi m would suffer by the
crossing, while the line in its progress would take away a
considerable amount of inferior property. The compensation
given for the alleged encroachment would enable the cor-
poration to make important improvements elsewhere. The
viaduct would be a highly ornamental object.
Mr. Sheriff Alison generally corroborated the evidence of
the previous witness. He did not think the crossing would
in the least degree injure the green, otherwise he would sot
support it.
Mr. Binnie, builder, gave similar evidence. The pro-
perty to be taken was in value 30,700/.
Adie, C. E., gave evidence as to the engineering fea-
tures. The central junction was about a mile and a half
long. The estimate was 105,0004, in addition to the 10,750/.
for the Caplaw-hill branch. The scheme passed through the
green in eight hours, twenty-four feet high on the average,
and around the Clyde by a stone bridge. He did not think
the scheme would interfere with the green, while it would
be a great public accommodation to the through traffic.
The Committee adjourned till to-morrow at twelve o'clock.
London, England, 1847-05-18

814.aNCIEES.

The consideration of this case, which was opened yester-
day by Mr. Hilditch, was resumed by
Mr. TALBOT, on the part of the promoters. He objected
to the East Lancashire Railway Company being heard in
opposition, and maintained that they had no locus standi
against the Bill.
Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIA3f, on the part of that company,
contended that they had a right to be heard, as their interests
would be materially affected, if the proposed line was made.
After some further discussion it was decided that the East.
Lancashire Railway Company had no locus standi.
Mr. George Ormrod, solicitor, was then examined, to show
the great advantages which would be conferred by this line
in opening up facilities of communication with the coal
districts.

Mr. Pieco, a coal engineer, and other witnesses, confirmed
this evidence.

It was then agreed that further proceedings in this line
should be adjourned till Thursday next.
EAST LANCASHIRE (BRANCH FROM
()unmans TO SOUTHPORT, .AND EX-
TENSION TO PRESTON).
Mr. BRANDT opened the case for the promoters of the line.
Two witnessos were examined to show the great advan-

districts.
The Committee then adjourned till Thursday.

COLONIAL GOVERNMENTS.

Mr. HUME said he wished to ask the Under-Secre-
tary for the Colonies a question, of which he had given
notice. It would be remembered that last session he
presented a petition from Van Diemen's Land, signed by
6,000 persons, praying the House to apply the repre-
sentative system of government to that island. Now the
question he wished to ask was, whether Government had
been maturing any plan for extending the privilege and
rights of representative bodies to that island and the
other colonies ?

Mr. HAWES said, in answer to the question of his
Honor.ourable Friend, he had to state that the subject
to which he had referred had nct been lost sight of.
There was a measure in contemplation—homight say, in
preparation—with the view to give the benefits of the
British Constitution to the Australian colonies, which
had generally included Van Diemen's Land. He did
not think, however, that the measure could be intro-
duced in the present session.

- TRANSPORTATION.
Mr. EWART asked the Hon. Gentleman the Secre-
tary for the Colonies whether Government had any in-
tention of revising the present system of transportation,
with a view to an alteration in the law?

Mr. HAWES said the subject would shortly come
under discussion in that House, when his Noble Friend
the First Lord of the Treasury would be prepared to
state fully what his intentions were.
Mr. P. MILES said, in the early part of the session
he moved for certain corn returns in continuation of
those which had been annually laid before the House for
many years past. It was, however, communicated to
him, that an addition he had made to the return would
cause a delay in making the return, and ho intimated to
the corn-inspector that ho would not press for that part
of the return. Still, the return was not forthcoming,
and he therefore wished to ask the Hon. Gentleman

(the Vice-President of the Board of Trade) whether
the return would shortly be laid upon the table of the
House ?
Mr. MILNER GIBSON said the order was made
upon the Treasury, and not upon the Board of Trade ;
but, nevertheless, he would make inquiry into the cause
of the delay.

AIIMIY SERVICE BILL.

On the order of the day for passing into Cvmmittce,
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY rose to move that
the Bill be committed this day 6 months. He expressed
his opinion on this Bill at a time when he moved tor
certain information, but it so happened that he was
necessarily absent at the second reading. He was cur,
prised that on that occasian the Noble Earl should
have taken so much notice of
his speec' , hen
a speech much more able had beau made
upon the subject by a Noble Lord on the same bench
with him. He (the Marquis of Londonderry) asked the
Noble Earl whether he could support all these changes
by the opinion of able officers in the army. He had
brought none of these forward. The great majority of
the army—nine-tenths of the officers—were opposed to
it. But the Noble Earl, far from answering the speech
of the Noble Earl, had employed his eloquence on more
popular subjects—the minor improvements that had betn
effecl;ed in the army.
London, England, 1847-05-18

(COVENTRY AND SOUTECAM BRANCH.)

On the assembling of the parties the opposition against this
Bill was resumed.

Mr. R. Adams gave general evidence against the proposed
branch.

Mr. Robert Stephenson, C.E., was examined at some length
against the proposed scheme as unnecessary, and that the
district in question would be better supplied by the London
and North- western Company.
After some further evidence for the opposition,
Mr. FLOOD replied on behalf of the promoters, going over
the evidence adduced for the Bill, and contending that no
case had been made out against it.
DECISION.

- - - -
The room was then cleared fur a decision. On there-ad-
mission of the parties,
The CIIAIR3fAti said the Committee had decided that the
preamble of the Bill was proved.
The consideration of the clauses was postponed till to-
morrow.

in the chair.

ozpoßD, 'WORCESTER, AND WOLVER-
HAMPTON (CHELTENHAM and EVESHAM

The general evidence in favour of this line having been
closed, Mr. Brunel described the engineering features of the
line. The gradients, he said were easy, and the works could
be easily constructed. The junctions were well effected and
the line would prove of great public utility.
The length of the line would be twenty-seven miles, and
the cost 600,0001.
The Committee then adjourned.

The Committee met at the usual hour ; Mr. Deedes,
chairman.

WELTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH
AMENDMENT (No. EE.)
Mr. Samuel Struchberrey, Yellow of the Zoological So-
ciety and Curator of the Bristol Philosophical Society, exa-
mined by Mr. ALEXANDER—He had paid particular attention
o the formation of the coal measures at Radstock. There
were four or five series in this coal-field. The first was at
present worked to about the extent of 50 per cent. ;
there was still, however, upwards of 39,000,000 of tons re-
maining to be worked out. He had calculated that in the
second series the quantity of coal was about 424,000,000 of
tons, and that quantity would take, according to the present
mode of working, 1,661 years before the yield would be ex-
hausted. He had also made numerous experiments as to the
quality of the Radstock coal, and it was his opinion that
they were in no degree inferior to the Welsh coal, and that
they exceeded the Newcastle in point of duration.
Dr. Lyon Playfair had made an analysis of several speci-
mens of Radstock and Newcastle coal, and from the result of
those experiments, he was led to believe that for household
purposes there was little or no difference between the two
qualities of coal. _

- Mr. Ashbourne, land and mineral surveyor, residing in the
neighbourhood of Radstock, corroborated the evidence of the
first witness, as to the extent and yield of the coal-fields in
Somersetshire.

Capt. Scobell, lessee of a portion of the Radstock collieries,
and director of the Wilts and Somerset Railway, and Mr.
Fere, mining engineer, gave evidence as to the importance
and extent of the coalfields at Radatock.

The Committee then adjourned till twelve to•morrow.
