silver for all domestic uses. It is equally sweet and handsome as
silver itself. This is the only SOLID substitute now sold, and, unlike
Plated Goods of any kind, there is nothing to wear off; so that the
more you rub and clean it, the better it will continue to leak, though
it should be in daily use for fifty years. Don't be afraid to put it to
any test, and then send your order. A full catalogue of prices, with

TO THE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper 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-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Ilerbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
I ever was befsre 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 11 s. 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 on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair frcm coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
arevent 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
3dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
n the erown of the head; if vzry bad, repeat it every quarter of an
our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
air on ehildren's heads in a few appplicati one. If used on infants'
eads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—Seo
pamphlet of testimonials.

REVIEWS OB TIIE WORK.
LA'AIERT ON SELF-PRESERVATION.—KENT AND RICLIARDS.—This
work possesses advantages over eery other other of the kind sub-
mitted to public notice. The author is a medical man of some con-
siderable talent, who has devoted many years to the study of his
profession, and as a guarantee of his pretensions has published his
qualifications and diplomas in the work, and several testimonials of
his abilities from physicians and surgeons of great eminence, which
is a most important consideration to those whn, from the peculiar
nature of their infirmities, are obliged to seek medical assistance
from strangers. The subject is treated altogether in an excellent
manner, and by its perusal the unfortunate victim of vicious habits
and excessive dissipation, will be enabled to account for peculiar
disabilities, and to discover the means of alleviating their sufferings
in an easy and effectual manner.—United Service Gazette.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PLYMOUTH, JUNE 22.—This morning, a little before
five o'clock, her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Sir
Henry J. Leeke, with the Port-Admiral's flag (white)
at the main, cleared her mooring inside the western arm
of the breakwater, under topgallant sails, courses, and
spanker. When abreast of the west end of the break-
water, she set her royals. After passing the outer shoals
she hauled up her courses, took in her royals, backed
her maintopsail, and waited for her consort.
Her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain Manly H.
Dixon, with the flag of the Admiral-Superintendent (red)
at the mizen, slipped,her moorings inside the eastern arm
of the breakwater, about the same time as the Queen ;
but, owing to the lightness of the westerly wind, did not
leave the sound until half-past seven o'clock. She had
her courses and topgallantsails set, and on joining the
Queen both ships hoisted their royals.
They are gone some distance off the harbour for the
purpose of a day's shell exercise, under the inspection of
Port-Admiral Sir John West, .C. 8., who accompanies
them in the Sylph tender.
At nine in the forenoon the Plymouth, dockyard ten-
der, at her moorings in Hamoaze, had her sails set, and
would probably follow the ships with the Admiral-Su-
perintendent of the Arsenal, Sir J. Louis.
PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 23.—This morning Col. Owen, the
Deputy-Adjutant-General of the Royal Marines, and
staff, proceeded to Fort Cumberland to have a grand
field-day with the Royal Marine Artillery, under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel D. A. Gibsone, Come
mantle-4 of that dietinggielkeel eorpa._
At eleven o'clock the review commenced with- practice
from a sea service battery, on which were mounted one
68-pounder, three 32-pounders, one 32-pounder car-
ronade, and one 24-pounder, from which six rounds
were fired at targets placed at a range of 425 yards,
the destruction of which was complete at each
discharge. Better practice we never witnessed, and
when it is considered that nearly all the men upon the
field were recruits, the merit is considerably increased.
Practice from three 10-inch mortars in the rear of an
epaulment followed, from which four rounds were pro-
jected, the shells each time taking a most accurate direc-
tion, to the admiration of all present. The officers
attached were Lieutenant-Colonel Gibsone, Commandant;
Major Castieau, Captain Fraser, and Lieutenant Parke.
After this portion of the day's operations, the scene
was moved to the immediate proximity of the fort, where
practice from an 8-inch howitzor and a 12-pounder
medium gun, at ranges of 1,350 yards, and a 24-pounder
and a 12-pounder howitz9r, and a 6-pounder light field
gun, at ranges of 900 yards seaward respectively, was
exhibited. The missiles used in the practice were shell
and spherical case (Shrapnel shell), the latter riddling
the target flags at nearly every discharge.
Practice from a 32-pounder, mounted on the south-
east bastion of the interior of the fort, with live shell
fired to seaward at a target placed at a range of 1,500
yards, concluded the day's operations, the practice from
which was most admirable, the direction of the shells
being very true.
Some idea of the thorough efficiency of this gallant
corps may be formed from the fact of the field-battery
exercise yesterday on Southsea-common, in the presence
of Lord Frederick Fi tzclarence, the Lieutenat-Governor,
and a brilliant assemblage, having been mounted, loaded,
and discharged within the astonishing space of 30 se-
conds ! Fur this unparalleled efficiency the service is
indebted to Colonel Gibsone.
PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—Yesterday a highly inte-
resting experiment was made in this dockyard, in the
presence of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Commander-in-
Chief, Vice-Admiral Ross, Captain Dacres, of the
Avenger, and other distinguished officers, of a new life-
buoy, invented by Lieut. Irvine, R.N., 1813, which, be-
sides its properties as an infallible agent in the saving
of life at sea, possesses also the uses of a trunk or sea-
chest, in which may be stowed without the possibility of
the approach of wet such matters as bread or other dry
provisions, linen, ammunition, Btc. The principal mate-
rial in this new life-buoy or trunk is cork. Yesterday
ono of these trunks was filled with hammocks and heavy
iron weights, some of 561 b. each, and thrown into the
harbour in presence of the above distinguished officers
and numerous scientific gentlemen. The result was, that,
although the weight in the interior of the apparatus was
treble that of a heavy man, it floated upon the surface of
the tide with a buoyant force which would infallibly sup-
port 25 men as long as they could cling to it, ropes being
appended in all directions of it to admit of that advantage
in the event of an emergency. There is no inflation
used, nor any preparation necessary, other than merely
buckling a strap round the mouth of some webbing-cloth
inside the chest, which acts as a preventive to the admis-
sion of water and alike excludes the air_ Lieut. Irvine
can fit the seats of steam-boats with his apparatus
with little expense, but with certain efficacy in time of
need; and considering the recent wrecks and loss of life,
so fearfully augmented of late by the staving of boats
when they were the only means left of attempting to
brave the waves, such an instrument as this must be
hailed with great satisfaction by all who have occasion,
from necessity or otherwise, to travel upon the waters.
The gallant veteran who has invented this new buoy has
served his country in the time of need, and it is only
with regret that we can allude to the necessity which
compels him to thus endeavour to add to his scanty
pittance of 6s. per day in the decline of his days, after
holding the commission of a Lieutenant in her Majesty's
navy 34 years with an untarnished reputation. He was
placed by his late Majesty William IV. on board the
Superb, 74, Captain Keats, in 1805, with whom he served
to the end of the war. He was in the action off St.
Domingo ; the expedition to Copenhagen; taking the
Spanish troops from Denmark ; English aide-de-camp
to the Marquis of Romana; was in the expedition to
Walcheren; at the siege of Cadiz; in gun•boats and boats
taking several forts; and, besides, had the pleasure of
saving the lives of two men by risking his own, in
jumping overboard at different times, when in the
Hibernia, in the Mediterranean.
The Falmouth lighter sailed yesterday, with stores
for Plymouth.
The Tartarus steam-vessel sailed this morning for
Sheerness, with Commander James C. Caffin, of the
Scourge, and about 60 of his men, to bring the Fury
steam-sloop to this port.
PLYMOUTH, JUNE 23.—The barque Pathfinder, Cap•
tin Strickland, came in this morning with Indian corn
from Alexandria for orders. This vessel was freighted
out last winter from England at the then current rate.
On her arrival freights had considerably advanced, and
her master, Captain James Thompson, was so chagrined
at the circumstance, that, in a fit of despondency, he
poisoned himself with the contents of the laudanum
bottle belonging to the ship's medicine chest. The com-
mand devolved on her mate, Mr. Strickland; they left
Alexandria the 6th of April, and, being short of provi-
sions, attempted to enter Cadiz, but were repulsed by
the Spanish authorities, who refused permission for the
barque to receive supplies, on the pretext of her having
come from an eastern port. They then put to sea, in-
tending to make the English Channel; but meeting
contrary winds, first purchased a bag of bread for 2/. 1.55.
from a passing ship, and when half way across the Bay
of Biscay bore up for Oporto. At the entrance of the
Douro they received two bags from a British man-of-
war steamer, at which time there was but a pound and a
half of bread left for a crew of eleven persons. On her
passage from Oporto, about eight days since, one of the
lads was sent aloft to furl the fore royal in a sudden
breeze, which carried the fore topgallant mast and rig-
ging over the side, and flung the lad on the deck of the
ship. His fall was providentially broken by his first
pitching on the fore trysail, and he thus came down un-
injured a height of eighty or ninety feet, the only effect
of the accident being a slight scratch on the lip.

Dill., is to receive the honour of Knighthood.
