of the Chevalier tie le Garde, Chamberlain to Stealslaus, late King of
Poland, is one of the most convincing proofs of their great and extra..
ordinary virtues. Similar effects were also experienced by the Rev
Doctor Blomberg, of Misperton_Hall, Yorkshire, Chaplain to his late
Majesty, and Rector of Cripplcgate, London, who, with a spirit of the
kinde,t, humanity, voluntarily gave his testimony to their happy
effects. Cases have from time:to time beets published, as transmitted

bury, Mr. Ching, Launceston. and a multitude of others throughout

We beg to direct the attention of our readers to
the followin7 extract of a letter addressed to A. Row
lin3 and Son, 20, Hatton Garden, London, from-
Hamburg, dated February :—" I have also the pleasure
to inform you of another deckled proof of the efficacy
of your celebrated Macassar Oil, Dr. Roding of this
place had a patent who was bald for several years, and
who had tried several articles for the recovery of his
hair, but without effect, until he was advised by the
doctor 'to make use of your Oil : after using three bot-
tles he entirely recovered it, and has now a much finer
head of hair than formerly. Dr. R. felt so gratified at
its success that he made a drawing of the recovered hairs
(magnified), which he herewith sends?. Ro wieners
Macassar Od prevents hair from falling off or turning
rey ; changes grey hair to its original colour ; frees it
from scurf and dandruff; and makes it. beautifully soft
and curly. In dressing hair, it keeps it in curl, &e.,
unimpaired by damp weather, the dance, or in the exer-
cise of riding. Ask for " Rowland's Macassor Oil."

J. W. Seymour, Esq., moved, seconded by Mr. John
Douglas, That a Committee he appointed to prepare
and bring in resolutions to be submitted to the meeting,
which was unanimously carried.
The Chairman appointed R. Roux, John Harvey;
L. Desgonttes, F. Egan, J. W. Seymour, Richard
Daly, John Branday, John Escoffery, J. B. Sorapure,
Charles Duquesnay, J. B. Duverger, Clarke, F.
Labiche, and James Cahill, Esquires, a Committee for
the above purpose, who withdrew, and on their return
submitted the following resolutions, which were unani-
mously agreed to.
Ist. That the meeting held in High-Holborn-street
on Tuesday the 19th November instant, purporting to
be an assembly of the British and Native Roman
Catholics of this City, called together with the consent
of the Very Rev. Mr. Fernandez, bears on its front the
stamp of twofold misrepresentation ; as in the first place
the Very Rev. Mr. Fernandez vs never applied to on
the subject ; and secondly, it was not attended by more
than four or. five .Britishßoman atholics, so that its
resolutions cannot for a moment e deemed expressive-
ic
of the feelings of that body, as M Shannon would'wish
to have it supposed.
2d. That whilst this meeting deplores the necessity
of its being called together to defend our ,Rev. Vicar
Apostolic from the unmerited imputations which have
been cast upon him, it must and doth hereby declare,
that it is the duty of all frue'Roman Catholics to bow
to the lawful authority of the Church in all its spiritual
matters, and that those who do not do so are unworthy
of belonging to our sacred religion.
3d. That this Meeting is fully cognizant that the
imputations put forth in Mr. Shannon's speech, as pub-
lished in Saturday's Gazette, against the Very_Rev.
B. Fernandez, to be utterly false and groundless.
4th. That a deputation be appointed to wait on our
Vicar Apostolic with an address, and also to acquaint
him, that so far from the respect, veneration, and esteem,
in which he has always been held by his flock being
lessened by the late foul attack on him, that this
meeting regards him, if possible, with stronger feelings
of affection than before, and that never on any previous
occasion did he possess more fully their unlimited con-
fidence in his zeal for the promotion of peace, charity,
and religion, amongst all classes of his congregation.
sth. That even were the charges against the Very
Rev. Benito Fernandez true, which they are not, the
insinuations put forth in Mr. Shannon's speech, " that
the Committee of St. Patrick' and St. Martin's Church
were playing the game of the aboveVeryßev.Gentleman"
is utterly, contrary to truth, as they have used, and
will continue to use, every exertion to procure the
presence of Pastors of the United Kingdom, always,
however, refusing to accept of, or obey any, save those
who are duly recognised by our Right Rev. Vicar
Apostolic Benito Fernandez.
6th. That .the entering the names of three official
characters, namely, the then Governor, Lieutenant-
Governor, and Attorney-General, for higher subscrip-
tions than they had signed for, was the act of the Rev.
Mr. Murphy and the late universally-respected Major
Dillon, 64th Regiment ; that the then Governor and the
Attorney-General on sceing the list of subscriptions
(printed by Mr. Shannon) remonstrated and requested
the committee to insert against their names the exact
sums they subscribed, which was not done by the Rev.
Mr. Murphy and Major Dillon, the acting members of
the Committee, they not thinking it a matter of suffi-
cient importance to make a contradiction of the sub-
scription list necessary—especially as it is usual in Eng-
land to put down persons of rank for larger sums than
they actually subscribe.
7th. That the conduct of Wellwood Hyslop, Esq.,
is of such a character, that the Roman Catholics of
this city cannot conceal from themselves how improper
it is to admit him to act in the affairs of their body, aad
that he be requested to abstain from all interference
with their future proceedings.
Bth. That this meeting pronounces the third Resolu-
tion of Thomas Shannon to be destitute of " Truth,"
for these reasons—First, Because the Holy Trinity
Chapel in this city, was erected in 1809, and opened for
Divine Service in 1810 by the Rev. J. Rodrigues, a
Portuguese Clergyman, who was one of the principal
founders, and Don Carlos Estero, a rich Spanish mer-
chant of this city, who exercised his influence with his
countrymen and with other merchants of this city of all
religions, and induced them to contribute with that
liberality, which, to this day, is one of the most laudable
traits in the character of the Kingston gentry. Se-
condly, because it is not true that the Catholic congre-
gation has suffered for the want of religious instruction ;
on the contrary, the zeal of the Very Rev. Vicar and
of the Rev. Messieurs Duquesnay (a native of this city)
Dupeyron (a Frenchman), and Cotham (an Englishman),
in imparting religious instruction, is well-known to the
Catholic'community.
.-,
Resolved—That the above Resolutions and Address
to be presented to the Very Rev. Vicar Apostolic, be
published in the Morning Journal, Royal Gazette, St.
Jago Gazette, Gleaner, and such of the English News-
papers as his Honour the Chairman may direct.
(Signed) D. O'REILLY, Chairman.
His Honour the A.:torney-General having left the
Chair, R. Roux, Esq. was called thereto, when it was
unanimously resolved, that a vote of thanks be given
to his Honour the Attorney-General, for his exemplary,
dignified, and impartial conduct in the Chair.
(Signed) R. ROUX.
The deputation having waited on the Very Rev.
Vicar Apostolic, on Wednesday the 27th inst. pre-
sented the following Address :
To the Very Reverend Benito Fernandez, Vicar Apos-
