RE MARK ABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls,
a gentleman residing at Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returning from Barlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re-
sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill-
ness of several months' duration, during whieli period his hair con-
tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly
bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel,
then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the
effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
used the growth recommenced, and he has new to boast of a very
thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity,
that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly
for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
Copy of a Letter from Mr. Blake, KingacKffe, Northampton-

shire :

"Singseilffe, January 21, 1847.

" Sir,—Twelve years ago I became afflicted with Rheumatic (lAA.
I procured the best advice possible, but withent deriving benefit ; and
the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary, where
I continued twelve weeks, and left it without obtaining any benefit,
and all hope of relief had vanished.
" This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised me
to try Flair's Pills. I then lost no time in sending to ➢lr. Mortlock,
of Stamford, for a box, and by the time I had taken that quantity I
got rid °Tone crutch. I then sent for another boa, which enabled
me to throw away the other, and, thank God, I have never since had
such an attack.

" I am much exposed to cold ; but, whenever I feel symptoms of
attack, I have recourse to the Pills with universal success.
" I recommended the Pills to a gentleman who resides in this
neighbourhood, and he has derived the most essential relief tlYere-
from. and is now never without them.

e. You may publish this for the benefit of those similarly afflicted.
" I am, Sir, your obedient, humble servant,
"SAMUEL BLAKE,
"Smith and Farrier."

The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or
present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but restore
to perfect health in an inconceivably short apace of time. They are
equally speedy and certain in Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains in the Mead
or Face, and indeed of every Rhematic or Gouty affection ; in fact,
sucn has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is
scarcely a city, town, or village In the kingdom, but contains many
grateful evidences of its benign influence.

THE STORY OF LILLY DAWSON. By MRS. CROWE
Authoress of " Susan Hopley," &c.—" Susan Hopley" made
herself great fame, not only as a story of tragic incident in
the original form, but when dramatised and set upon the
stage. "Lilly Dawson" may, doubtless anticipate a similar
success. The characters have the merit of force in their
drawing, and the difference between the commission of crime
and the immediate consequences among the lower classes
and those of a superior station, are delineated with much ta-
lent. Mrs. Crowe has exhibited much skill and ability in
the construction and development of her story. The natural
is her forte, and she is the Spagnoletta of novelists.—Literary

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN DRURY-LANE.—Last even-
ing, between six and seven o'clock, a serious fire broke out
in the premises 26, Brownlow-street, Drury-lane, occupied
conjointly by Mr. Lovell, a coach carver, a Mr. Bickerton,
and a woman named Warren. The fire commenced in a
back room on the first floor. The alarm being given, the
parties in the first and second stories effected a safe retreat;
Mrs. Warren, however, was unable to descend, and finding
that all
pearance at the front window, supplicating the crowd to
been in that situation many minutes
assist her. She had not
before the flames entered her room, when she got upon the
window sill
and was about to precipitate herself to the ground.
The parties cried out to her not to throw herself out, and
they would fetch a ladder. Some few minutes elapsed
before one could be procured, during which time the female
was seen hanging from the
ledge of the window. Upon

and caught Mrs. Warren in

several engines arrived, and the firemen set to work, but it
was half-past eight before the flames could be conquered.
By that time, that portion of the house where _ the fire begunrs, together
was burned out, and the second and third floors,
with the roof, were destroyed, and what remained of the
from
house was extensively damaged. Mr. Lovell being
home at the time, it could not be learned whether he
was insured. Mr. Bickerton and Mrs. Warren, who have
lost everything, were not insured for a farthing.

GRAIN RIOTING IN ROSS-SHIRE.

(From the Ross-shire Advertiser.)
We regret that the spirit of opposition to the ship-
ment of grain in this county, lately manifested, has since
our last been continued. On Saturday last, some carts
containing a quantity of meal, intended for being shipped
at Dingwall, to make up a cargo for Lochbroom, were
stopped, and the boatman who was to take the meal to
the vessel was threatened with violence, if he would not
desist. On Monday a vessel arrived in the canal, to take
in a cargo of grain, which having become known to
some men trenching near, they left work and hied to the
vessel, the master of which they threatened, and warned
him against taking the grain on board. On that day the
magistrates, having reason to fear a breach of the public
peace, resolved to swear in special constables, and the
inhabitants were summoned eccordiegly; but •few at-
, tended, and another meeting was called for seven o'clock
in the evening for the same purpose. This meeting was
attended by a large number of persons, but few con-
stables were sworn. Prevost Ross and Bailie Rose ex-
plained to the meeting the necessity of preserving the
public peace, and the impropriety of preventing the
shipment of grain. Mr. Colin Munro, who was sending
the meal to Lochbroom, stated that be wanted no as-
sistance from constables or others to ship the meal, as
he wished to avoid disturbance, and would not ship any
if the people were against it. Several persons objected
to being made constables for the shipment of grain.
though they were desirous, et the same time, Of pre-
serving 'he peace. They thought the grain should not
be shipped while there was a scarcity of meal in the
country. While this meeting was being held, a great
crowd congregated in the street, opposite the Court-
house, who occasioned a good deal of noise; and when
the meeting dispersed, crowds paraded the town in all
directions, cheering and irettingt ' •
A snob of women and children was immediately formed.
some of whom threw stones, and others proceeded to
Mr. Munro's house, and the house of Mr. WDonald,
Bridgnad,where some panes of glass were broken. A bon-
fire was lighted close to the vessel, which had arrived in
the morning, and a party was set to watch in case any
grain should be shipped. The magistrates went through
the town, and did every thing they could to preserve the
peace, and the crowd gradually disappeared.
The magistrates again met on Tuesday, to swear in
constables, but few chose to come forward, and they
were consequently unable to perfect their arrangements.
About eight o'clock in the evening the streets became
crowded, and small bodies of people loitered about,
whistling and shouting, while a horn was blown by one
evidently employed for the purpose of collecting the
mob. Having met at the east end of the High-street.,
the mob proceeded to Mr. Stewart's granary, on the
Greenhill, where there were about sixty quarters of
grain, consisting of wheat, oats, and barley, in order to
mix the same, that it might not be taken out of the
country. Captain Cameron, who resides in the neigh-
bourhood, addressed the mob on the folly of their con-
duct, and advised then to disperse. They, however,
went on to the grarary, and soon commenced to break
open the doors. Au entrance having been effected by
pulling the easter dots. of the barn asunder, the crowd
rushed in, but as the g' amen, was on an upper flat, entered
from the barn, by meats of a ladder, the invaders were
for a time prevented from getting at the grain. At this
time Bailies Rose and Wlver, and the Procurator-
Fiscal arrived, and Mr. Rose at great length addressed
the crowd, amounting to several hundreds, cautioning
them against acts of violence, and assuring them that
meal would be provided. This would have had a good
effect, but some rather notorious brawlers here inflamed
the rabble, and some female orators having added their
mite, by no means inconsiderable, the impression of
the Baillie's advice was not long felt. The barn having
been taken possession of by the Fiscal and officers,
he crowd was cleared out, and the doors nailed up.
The magistrates had no sooner gone away, than the
crowd renewed their attack on the barn, and forced
themselves in in spite of all the exertions of the officers
to prevent them. Having got possession of the premises,
they proceeded to break open the door of the granary,
which was soon effected, and the corn was immediately
mixed, and of course a very great deterioration occa-
sioned.
Having accomplished this disgraceful outrage, and
maltreated the officers, the crowd went, in a highly
excited state and making prodigious noise, to the vessel
at the canal, to which we have already alluded, and
having awakened the master and crew, some went on
board, and the rest towed the vessel to the bottom of
the canal, where the tide having left her, the vessel
grounded, and so they could not put her io sea. The
crowd then paraded the streets towards Stratbpeffer
toll-bar, intending, it is said, to destroy Mr. M.Donald',
granary at Bridgend, but it being near four o'clock
in the morning, and being aware that they well watched
they, after quantities of cheering and hooting, retired.
We think it right to state that these riotous and out-
rageous proceedings were perpetrated principally by
females and boys, under thesmore cautions leadership of
a few whose ana3eSeire- wAskseentettosad veto will moat
likely meet the punithment of tlvit,9fraistwv,
On Wednesday the magistrates 'ha &nearly Or/results-
tion, and they again summoned persons to be sworn as
constables, and at last succeeded. In the evening nearly
100 took the oath ; the town was divided into three dis-
tricts, and the constabulary went to their different sta-
tions, each of the magistrates heading a division. Pre-
vious to this, Provost RHSS announced, that with the
view of satisfying the people, the magistrates had ar-
ranged, that oatmeal and barleymeal should be provided
at the prices of ls. ed. and ls. ed. per peck, till the county
store was opened. Upon this a vote of thanks was given
by acclamation to the Provost and magistrates, and Mr.
Colin Munro having given an order for 20 bolls of oat-
meal and some barleymeal at prime cost, to the magis-
trates, thanks were also tendered to him. There was a
good deal of noise during the night, but nothing serious.
Three persons were apprehended for disorderly conduct,
and one of those implicated in breaking open the barn
and granary, was also apprehended. On Thursday, two
of these women were sentenced to short
but were rescued on their way to the imprisonments,
prison, by some of
the people trenching near it. The others were lodged
in prison last night, one for three days, and the other
for further examination. The men who rescued the
women have been this day apprehended.
We are glad to say that last night the town was as
quiet as usual; and though the special constables were
on duty, there was no occasion for their interference.
About three o'clock this afternoon, 100 men of the 27th,
under the command of Lieutenant. Colonel Goodman,
arrived here from Invergordon. Accommodadon has
been provided for them in a large house belonging to
Mr. Colin Stewart. They brought 13 prisoners from
Invergordon, amongst whom were eight females.
Having said so much as to the violent proceedings
here, we have little room to notice what took place at
of grain com-
other places in the county. Shinpil
menced at Invergordon on Tuesday, under military pro-
tection. On that day the Sheriffs met at Invergordon,
with whom were Sir James Mackenzie, Tall°cht Ord,
General Munro of Teaninich, Mr. Fowler of Radde.rY,
&c. &c., and a large detachment of the n27dtthhehacvairntgs
come, a few carts of grain were shipped,s
on return were smashed to pieces'. "Oewe the
dnesday
soldiers had to escort the carts from a distance,
.and
the people having pressed on the soldiers at Invergordon,
four persons were wounded, but not severely, with the
existed,
bayonet. A great deal of excitement naturally
but we are glad to say, that yesterd°Yquiet,
was
and that a great deal of grain was shipped without the
interposition of the military,
which was also continued
to- day.
The district from Alms to Fowlis Point has been noisy
during the week, and a good deal of violence displayed.
The granaries at the Point, Balcony, and Assynt, were
broken into and the grain mixed. The quantity so dete-
riorated cannot be less than 300 quarters at Fowlis,
where, we are informed, the corn was also mixed with
some refuse of coal and lime.
We trust that we now see the end of' these riotous
proceedings, which we believe were prompted by the
fear of famine and the high prices of food. Supplies
were promised, and depots were to be opened, but these
steps were staved off from time to time, till the people
lost confidence aed brooded over disappointment. How-
ever, this cannot excuse the breaking into granaries,
and mixing of the grain therein, which makes the r-
cies of Providence nugatory, and so far narrows them sup
ply of food.

free from ice ; bat the Channel has been so filled with
ice from above, that ships are again hindered from
leaving the city. Off Starde and before the Oste, there
is so much drift ice, that the steamers which arrived
yesterday, had great difficulty in making their way
through it.

last night, the drift ice still remains in the Channel,
leaving the harbour, indeed, free, yet still impeding the
departure of the ships.

present age, nothing has contributed so much to the comfort
and ease of the community, nor conferred such a:boon upon
suffering humanity, as that important discovery and never-
failing remedy for gout and rheumatism, Blair's Gout and
Rheumatic Pills. Thousands would jein in the observation
of an elderly female, as made to Mr. Fogget, the agent at
