TO THE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inaertei in the "Times" news-
aper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put late
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, 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 tour months,
nd the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
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
art Lis. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any 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 a few
drops en the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away wan the comb, mete it strong, and
lrevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A 1
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 retreshing
)dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of 11CVOLIS headache, pour ten or twelve drops
o the grown of the heal; if v:ry had, repeat it every quarter of an
our. In most cases relief is certain inn ten minutes. It produces
air on ehildrea's heads in a few appplicatins. It used on infants'
cads, 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.

not find myself any better. I purchased a small box of Keating's

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.

FROM TUX MORNING RAPERS OF THIS DAT.
TIMES.—The revenue table which we publish
this morning presents many feature& upon which the
public, as well as the Chancellor of the Exthequer,
may reasonably congratulate themselves. After a
year, the former half of which witnessed an immense
change in our commercial policy, and the latter the
operation of one of the greatest calamities of modern
times—an Irish famine and an English scarcity—the
year's accounts of ordinary revenue present en aggre-
gate increase of receipts above those of 1846 of not
less than 2,387,8061. In every department except
the Stamps and Crown Lands—in the Customs, the
Excise, the Taxes, the Property-tax, and the Post-
office—there is an increased return. In short, were
it not for Ireland and her oalanuty—were it not for
that awful drain which English neglect and Irish

nothing buistsiblea strange mixture of rapacity
and improvidence could hive suffered a nation to sub-
sist—our surplus, so far from furnishing means of
relief to the tax-payer, will only by a happy chance
avoid the necessity of new taxation by meeting the
charge for interest on the sum we have just been
compelled to borrow. Cold as the comfort may be, it
is well it will do this, and that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer has not, in a time of much pressure, and
almost general stagnation, to seek out the means of
imposing a new tax as well as contracting a new loan.
On the Customs the increase is most signal. That
after a series of years, each remarkable fur some large
reduction in our import duties, each reduction de-
clared to be alike fatal to the home producer and the
revenue, we should be able to show an increase of
1,132,0001. upon the year, is a proof of the soundness
of our new commercial policy, which even its most
ardent advocates could scarcely have anticipated.

luxuries, at least in degree, it is imagined that an
indulgence in excisable commodities betokens a suffi-
ciency of the necessaries of life. As a general rule
this may be a true one, but it is difficult to reconcile
its universal application with the fact that while the
mass of our agricultural population has been debarred
by the high price of food from the purchase even of
their ordinary scanty modicum of luxuries, while
Scotland has suffered severely from actual want, and
Ireland depends for its daily, bread on English
bounty, the Excise has gone on increasing, and even

office revenue shows an advance of 1,0001. a week

" Miscellaneous," shows an increase of 129,2731.
On Stamps the deficiency, probably owing to the
partial cessation of railway enterprise, amounts to
32,6931. ; and on Crown Lands, for some reason,
which Lords Lincoln and Morpeth will doubtless be
able to explain, to 18,0001. Upon the total ordinary
revenue, however, we have an increase of 2,387,8061.,
against a falling off in the two branches we have named,
amounting in the whole to only 50,6931. Would that
there were no drawback on this favourable statement
of our financial condition ! Flourishing as the re-
turn appears, however, one item is there to remind
us of our liabilities, and of the heavy charge to which
the great calamity of the year has exposed us. In
the account of Income the receipt of 960,0001. is
acknowledged as the first instalment of the loan of
8,000,0001., which it will require many years of for-
bearance and retrenchment to redeem. It is a punish-
ment, and not an unmerited one, of a system which
has permitted a third of our population to live in
utter dependence upon a crop with which
famines are periodical, and without that claim for
subsistence upon the soil which could alone secure
from the rich an interest in the prosperity of the poor.
We have had a severe warning, let us not require a
second.
CHRONICLE.—The revenue accounts for the
year and the quarter just ended, present at first sight
a much more favourable aspect than they do when
each item is minutely examined, and the peculiar
circumstances which have influenced the various
sources of income are duly considered. On the sur-
face, looking only at the columns under the heads
" increase" and "decrease," the tables present a satis-
factory and encouraging result; and especially in
reference to those items to which we are most accus-
tomed to look as an index of the state of the country,
of its enjoyment of commercial prosperity, and of
social comforts. The Customs receipts for the year
exhibit an increase of no less than 1,132,002/., which
at first sight is more satisfactory, when we remember
that the present return completes the first entire year
under the ultimate reductions in the tariff effected
by Sir Robert Peel. On the other hand, however,
it is impossible to overlook the fact that a large por-
tion of this increase is due, first to the extensive irn- ,
portation of foreign corn during the last six months
of 1846, and considerably more than one half of it to
the enlightened settlement of sugar duties by the
present Government, at the close of last session. At
a moment like the present, when financial difficulties
and deficiencies upon the general balance of the
public accounts become apparent, it is important to
mark any particular source from which those diffi-
culties are relieved, end more particularly so when it
indicates the success of a great and sound principle of
taxation. It will be remembered, that up to the
month of August last year the deliveries of sugar for
consumption on which duty was paid showed a con-
siderable deficiency on those of the preceding year.
But after the reduction of the differential duty
charged on foreign sugars by the Bill of last August,
by which, for the first time, such sugars were really
and practically brous..ht ithin the consumers reach,
the consumption increased so rapidly, that at the end
of the year the deficit which appeared in the deliveries
up to August was converted at the end of December
into a handsome surplus. We find, that out of the
increase which is apparent on the Customs' receipts
for the year just ended, amounting in all to 1,132,0021.,
we are indebted to the liberal and wise settlement of
the sugar duties for no less than 739,8841., and in
like manner, of the increase shown upon the last
quarter, amounting to 485,7551., we are indebted to
that measure for no less than 317,4661. It would be
difficult to point to a greater triumph in the result
of any financial principle than has followed the
adoption of a course so long urged by political
economists and free-traders, to rely upon a reduction
of differential and protective duties as the sunlit
