PENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 3s. Gd., 60., and lOs
per bottle.

EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.
A public tea meeting of the members of the Chelsea
district of the Metropolitan Early Closing Association
was held on Tuesday evening last, which was
onion
rously and respectably attended, a considerable port
of the assembly being composed of ladies. Mr. Silwall
was called to the chair, and, after the refreshments were
removed, proceeded to address the meeting. He alluded
to the importance of the early closing question, S 3 re-
spected its bearings upon society in general, and pointed
out particularly that, with all assistant tradesmen, it
ought to be the " question of questions, for if they
supported it not, from whom were they entitled to look
for assistance. Various appropriate sentiments were
then submitted to the meeting, and respectively spoken
to by Mr. Nash, the secretary of the Association otherM
Shipton, Mr. Rogers, the district secretary, and
gentlemen ; the importance of the question in an edu-
cational point of point of view being especially insisted
on . and Mr. Nash reiterating, as ho said, in the name
of the Association, what he had frequently asserted
before, that its sympathies were confined to no partieu•
lar class, but embraced all who suffered from the evils
of excessive toil ; and none more than the over- tasked
dressmaker and the ill-remunerated needlewoman,
whose sex gave them a still stronger claim to protec-
tion. After passing a vote of thanks to an,
the Chairmen,
and one to the District Secretary, for hi.s general atten-
tion to his duties, the ineetii___lgsepal
