guide the troops from there into the kingdom of Po-

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
aper en Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
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 et 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 mere luxuriant than
ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies world gladly purchase
an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of Its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and produotion 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 facts.-3, Swint-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drop. en the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, wake It strong, and
wevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to eurl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing
adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary compaulen
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. Ii most cases relief Is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplicatlons. It used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence en the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—flee

THE SUN

M. SOYER'S SOUP FOR THE POOR.

7'o THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In returning my most sincere thanks for the
benevolent intentions which prompt you to publish so
speedily my letter of the 10th inst.. relating to my new
kitchen and soup for the poor, in your valuable journal,
I beg your insertion of the two following receipts,
which, if closely followed, would confer an immediate
benefit, not only on the poor, and various charitable in-
stitutions, but also to the labouring population of the
United Kingdom. I much regret the delay that has
taken place since the publication of my former letter,
which has unavoidably occurred, the time being con-
sumed in experiments which I have made with various
kinds of farinaceous ingredients, produced and imported
into this country; and likewise with some of the im-
mense varieties of vegetables, cultivated with so much
success in this favoured soil; but which, generally speak-
ing, are not sufficiently appreciated, or used to the
greatest advantage by the industrions classes.
My intention is, with your kind permission, not only
to publish the receipt for one kind of soup, but for five
or six ; the whole, however, being made upon the same
principle as the first, to save any confusion in the mak-
ing, hoping they may prove advantageous, by giving a
change in food which acts as generously on the digestive
of gaps as a change of air does on the convalescent, and
likewise to prevent the rise in price of any particular
articles; for, should the soup be approved of, and be-
come a chief article of consumption for a certain time,
such a receipt would be quite useless in some parts of
the country, where the ingredients could not be obtained.
My sincere devotion to this important cause being, to
take every possible advantage of every kind of nutritious
substances, animal and vegetable, and fish, and to con-
vert them, by study and judgment, into a wholesome and
cheap aliment for the million.
Several hundreds of letters I have already received
upon the subject have induced me to give immediate pub-
licity to the two following receipts, which I consider
quite correct. Having thus stated my impressions upon
this all-important subject, I now give you the result of
my first economical study to produce a cheap and whole-
some soup : _
London, England, 1847-02-19

RELIEF FOR IRELAND.

Sir R. PEEL presented a petition from Liverpool, nu-
merously signed by the inhabitants of that city, stating
that they had looked with considerable anxiety to the
commencement of the session, to see what measure
would be adopted for the relief of Ireland, and stating
that while they entertained the deepest sympathy with
the necessities of that country, and would cheerfully pay
their share of any burden that might be imposed. They
hoped that some financial arrangement would be made,
so as to relieve the sufft:rings of the poor of this country,
while extending relief to Ireland.
SALT DUTIES.

The Mawr HoN. GENTLEMAN also presented a peti-
tion from a salt manufacturer of Liverpool. The petition
stated, that, in consequence of an application
made to the East India Company with respect
to the importation of salt into Calcutta,
he recaived an assurance that salt might:be exported to
that place in the ssme way that other articles were usu-
ally exported. In consequence of this statement, a con-
siderable exportation of salt took place to the East
Indies, and to the great surprise of the owners, there
were very heavy duties found to be imposed, and on
application being made for permission to land the salt,
it was at once refused, and thus considerable loss was
entailed upon the exporters. The petition prayed that
the House would interpose its authority to prevent the
recurrence of such a circumstance in tuture.
RAJA OF SATTARA.

Mr. HAWES presented a petition from the inha •
bitants of Lambeth, praying for an inquiry into the
case of the Raja of Sattara.
RATE-PAYING CLAUSES IN THE REFORM
BILL.

Captain PECHELL presented a petition from the
inhabitants of Brighton, praying for the repeal of the
rate-paying clauses in the Reform Act, which they con-
sidered as unsound in policy and unjust in principle, and
contrary to the spirit of the Reform Act.
_ _ POOR-LAW FOR IRELAND.

Mr. HUTT presented a petition from a number of
persons, praying the Government to pass a poor-law for
Ireland.

AMENDMENT OF SCOTTISH LAW.
The LORD ADVOCATE gave notice that he would
bring in some Bills with the object of amending the law
of Scotland.

LANDED PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. B. ESCOTT, in the absence of Mr. Roebtick,
gave notice for that Hon. Member, that when the
Landed Property (Ireland) Bill was brought under the
consideration of the House, he would move that any plan
having for its object the advancement of loans to the Irish
landed proprietors was unjust, unless the same principle
of taxation which was applied to the proprietors of land
in Great Britain was extended to them.
EMIGRATION.

Mr. V. SMITH gave notice, that on the 4th of March
he would bring under the consideration of the House
the necessity of extending the powers of the Irish
Emigration Society.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL gave notice that on Monday
next he would present a petition from the board of
guardians of the Killarney Union, praying for a gene-
ral system of taxation.

BRITANNIA, Nov. 21, 1846.
. . _

The French people have done themselves some
credit by their in-
dustrial expositions. But it must be acknowledged
in-
genious and pretty, they appear quite insignificantthat, though
the industrial exposition presented to the mind compared
with
this ared
of
mighty
volume. Keeping pace with the advancing tradeawndlyti
population
London, it still increases in bulk, and keeping pace
move-
ment of society in a more important particular, it vigilantly seines
every opportunity of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy
and more'comPlete classification. We find in this volume many in-
stances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively
trifling, show the intelligence and care exercised over every depart-
ment. It may be mentioned, that by the employment of private
*gents, the changes of residence are new brought down to a later
Period than formerly, and the value of the " Directory" is conse-
quently enhanced. We have before spoken of it as indispensable to
the proper management of business. Its authority is now so univer-
e4llY established, both at the Post-office and throughout the metro-
polis, that any further recommendation of it is superfluous.
JOHN BULL, Nov. 28, 1846.
This annual leviathan is already completed and published; but
ire a proof that the rapidity with which it must have passed through
the press has not operated against its careful accuracy, we may
mention that the changes rendered necessary by the very recent
demise of Mr. Stewart, M.P. for Renfrewshire, are duly attended
to (See pages 1669 and 1676). We have so frequently expressed our
approbation of this most vAluable work, that we hardly know how
to vary our commendation. It contains everything that can pos-
sibly be required in a directory—so full, so complete, so compre-
hensive are all its detaiLs. And when to this we add the extreme
accuracy which pervades every department, we know not what else
can be said in its praise. The machinery by which such volu-
minous information is obtained, arranged, and superintended, so as
to avoid errors, must of itself be among the " curiosities" of modern
literature.

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the followingleiterinffeited in the "Times" news-
apor on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tuaity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy 01 his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about tour months,
ml the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere 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
an Ils. 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-
aces, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasxre 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 on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
orevent 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 product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
)(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache. pour ten or twelve drops
an the crown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in tett minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
heads, 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.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.
-Very limited supplies of English Wheat have arrived up to
our market this wet k, consequently the show of samples was
trifling; still, however, the demand was by no means active,
and the market closed somewhat dull, at about Monday's
quotations. In Foreign Wheat a fair amount of business was
transacted, at fully previous currencies. One or two large
cargoes were taken for the French markets. Although very
little Barley was on offer, the trade ruled dull, at barely late
rates. In Malt, the supply of which was small, next to no-
thing was doing, at late figures. Oats, Beans, Peas, and
Flour were a slow inquiry, at previous quotations. Indian
Corn was firm, but not dearer.

Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts on sale, to• day was
small, and of middling quality, the Beef trade was in a
very inactive state, and Monday's quotations were with
difficulty supported. There were in the market 180 Beasts,
100 Sheep, and 13 Calves from abroad. With home-fed
Sheep we were very seantity supplied; yet the Mutton trade
was heavy, at barely stationary prices—the highest figure
for the best old Downs not exceeding ss. per 81bs. Calves
were exceedingly heavy, at a decline of from 2d. to 4d. per
In Figs comparatively little business was doing.
Mitch Cows moved off slowly, at from 161 to 181 each, in-
cluding their small Calf.
London, England, 1847-02-19

THE RECEIPT FOR Sour No. 1.

I first put one ounce of dripping into a saucepan (ca-
pable of holding two gallons of water), with a quarter of
a pound of leg of beef without bones, cut into square
pieces about half an inch, and two middling sized onions,
peeled and sliced. 1 then set the saucepan over a coal
fire, and stirred the contents round for a few minutes
with a wooden (or iron) spoon until fried lightly brown.
I had then ready washed the peeling of two turnips, fif-
teen green leaves or tops of celery, and the green part of
two leeks (the whole of which, I must observe are always
thrown away). Having cut the above vegetables into
small nieces, I threw them into the saucepan with the
other ingredients, stirring them occasionally over the fire
for another ten minutes ; then added half a pound of
common flour (any farinaceous substance would do), and
half a pound of pearl barley, mixing all well together.
I then added two gallons of water, seasoned with three
ounces of salt, and a quarter of an ounce of brown sugar,
stirred occasionally until boiling, and allowed it to
simmer very gently for three hours, at the end of which
time I found the barley perfectly tender. The above
soup has been tasted by numerous noblemen, Members
of Parliament, and several la3ies, who have lately visited
my kitchen department, and who have considered it
very good and nourishing. The cost, at full price, was
as follows :
Quarter of a pound of leg of beef, at 4d. per lb ld
Two ounces of dripping fat, at 4d. per lb Oi
Two onions and other vegetables 1
Half a pound of flour, seconds, at lid. per lb Oi
Half a pound of pearl barley, at 3d. per lb
Three ounces of salt and half an ounce of brown sugar... 0%
Fuel
Two gallons of water

This soup will keep several days, when made as above
described.
