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-
tuuity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grlmstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
I ever was befere 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 Its. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
pericoce, not only in the restoration and production of hair in alsund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume
nsw is it far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in aering 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
3revent 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.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
BEDFORDSHIRE. —We learn that Lord Charles Russell,
the sitting Whig member for the county, has i'etermined
to retire, and that Mr. Thomas Charles giggins, of
Turvey, will offer himself as a candidate. We have no
in -

formation relative to the intentions of the sitting Con-
servative member, Lord Alford, but in all probability he
will come forward agaio.—Bedford Times.
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.—Mr. Tower has announced his
refusal to be a candidate to represent the county of
Bucks in the next Parliament; consequently we at pre-
sent have but three candidates for the three seats in
Parliament which are allotted to Buckinghamshire ; but
we have the fact announced that a candidate from the
dissenters will solicit the votes on the principles of anti-
church and state union, peace, anti-slavery, and tem-
peranee.—Bucks Gazette.
CUMBERLAND EAST.—Mr. Marshall has accepted the
requisition to offer himself as a candidate for East
Cumberland in the room of Mr. James.— Carlisle
Journal.
HAuFAx —Mr. Edward Miall, the well-known editor
of the Nonconformist, is in the field as a candidate for the
representation of this borough.-,—Bradford Observer.
ILimPsrattE. SOUTH.—We much regret to have to
announce that Lord Palmerston declines acceding to
the numerously and respectably signed requisition
that has been presented to him, soliciting his Lord-
ship to allow himself to be put in nomination as a
candidate for the representation of this division of
the county at the ensuing general election, as will be
seen by the following letter received from his Lordship by
the gentlemen of these towns, who forwarded the requi-
sition. We trust, however, that although the Noble
Lord declines, some gentleman of liberal principles will
be found willing to come forward for South Hampshire :

—" Carlton Giirdens, June 21, 1847. Sir,—l have to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th inst., '
transmitting to me a requisition signed by a large number
of the electors for the southern division of the county of
Hants, inviting me to become a candidate for the represen-
tation of South Hampshire at the ensuing general election,
and I beg through you to assure the numerous and re-
spectable body of electors by whom that requisition has
been signed, that I most sensibly feel the great honour
which they have done me by an invitation which
affords so manifest a proof of their confidence in me, and
of their approval of my public conduct. I need not, I
trust, assure you that if I was unconnected with any
other constituency, there is no body of electors whom I
should have felt such pride in representing as those of the
county in which I live ; but having now for twelve years
enjoyed the confidence of the electors of Tiverton, I
should be unwilling to solicit the suffrages of any other
body as long as my present constituents shall think fit
to return me to Parliament.—l have the honour to he,
Sir, yours, very faithfully: PALMERSTON."—Hampshire
Independent.
HASTINGS.—We have authority to state that it is the
intention of Mr. W. Downing Bruce to offer himself as
a candidate for the representation of this borough, and
that his address will appear in due course. It is strongly
reported that Mr. Sergeant Byles is to be the second
Conserva,tive candidate at the ensuing election.—Surrey
Standard. . . . .

HEREFORD.-Our readers will learn with surprise that
Mr. Pulstord, through ill-health, retires trom Parliament.
Sir Robert Price offers a renewal of those pat lia-
mentary services which during a quarter of a century
have reflected honour on the city and county, and a son
of the late faithful and ever-to-be-lamented member, E.
B. Clive, Esq., offers himself as Mr. Pulsford's successor.
—Hereford Times.

LINCOLN.—A very large meeting of the electors took
place on Wednesday night, called to afford Sir Edward
Bulwcr Lytton an opportunity of addressing them. Mr.
Williams, solicitor, presided. Sir E. B. Lytton, who had
been canvassing on Tuesday and Wednesday,but viho had
issued no address or declaration of his intention to become
a candidate, delivered a magnificent address, in thecourse
of which he called upon the electors to consider whether
he was worthy to hold the place of their representative
in Parliament. He said that, if change there was, it
was not in him, and he challenged any one to point out
a single political principle from which he had deviated,
or a pledge that he had violated.. Sir Edward pro-
ceeded to expound his prirciple, declaring himself. for
the shortening of Parliament, for affording the
electors an opportunity of enjoying his franchise un-
influenced by any one who could exercise power over
him, for an extension of the suffrage to persons who have
received a good moral and Christian education, and against
the endowment of the Irish Catholics. He also expressed
his opinion that the Corn Bill of last year was a rash
and hazardous measure, the consequences of which could
not be tested by the experience of a single year; and he
observed that never was a great measure purchased by
such gross tergiversation and apostacy ; but he declared
that it ought to have a fair trial. Sir Edward Lytton
then proceeded to express the belief that next Parlia-
ment would have to devote its serious attention to

our financial position, and he gave some details
with respect to a mode of taxing property and
removing the asseised taxes. With respect to edu-
cation Sir Edward Lytton expressed his opinion to
be favourable to a parochial mode, which the people
would manage for themselves. Sir Edward Lytton then
combatted the idea that he should compromise himself
by any coalition with Tories ; and he proceeded to show
that coalitions had always been fatal, as a reason for de-
clining to coalesce with Mr. Seely. He concluded with
a brilliant appeal to the electors. A long discussion fol-
lowed, after which Sir Edward Lytton declared his in-
tention to go to the poll, and the meeting broke up at
midnight.—Stamford Mercury.
LEEDS.—The features of the week are the issaing of
a preliminary statement of his views by Mr. James G.
Marshall, the meeting of Mr. Beckett's supporters, and
the coalition openly proclaimed at that meeting to return
Messrs. Beckett and Marshall.—Leeds Mercury.
OXFORD UNivartsrry.—The retirement ot Mr. Card-
well from the contest for the University of Oxford leaves
it open for a measure of strength between the Puseyite
and the Protestant candidates, the latter supported by
the forces of bygone Protectionism, the former by the
gratitude of the Tractarians for past, and the hope of
future colonial church patronage. The Liberals ot the
Univcr:ity naturally look on the struggle with much un-
concern, as both candidates stand pledged to the con-
tinued exclusion of dissenters and professing Catholics
from the privilege of the Univei sity.
READING.—We believe there is no foundation what-
ever in the report which has been circulated that Mr.
Apsley Pellatt will stand for this borough at the ensuing
election. The requisition to Mr. Sergeant Talfourd has
this week
been must numerously signed.—Becks Gazette.

SALISBURY.—Mr. Chaplin, M.P., has issued his ad-

himself as a candidate for Salisbury.—Sherburne Journal.
WHITEHAVEN —There is very little or no doubt of the
final retirement of the present Member, Mr. M. W. Att-
wood. The ill health of the Hon. Gentleman, indepen-
dently of his sAvanced age, has reduced him to a state
of Parliamentary incapacity for some time past--
Carlisle Journal.
WOODSTOCK —Lord A. S. Churchill and the Marquis
of Blandfoi d issued addresses to the electors of the 21st
inst. The former intimated that his professional duties
will probably shortly call him from his native land, and
that it is his intention to resign his pretensions to the
future representation of the borough. The Marquis of
Bland,ford again offers himself for the honour of their
suffrr,ges.—Bedford Chronicle.
W ORICESTERSIIIRE, EASTERN DIVISION. Captain
Rus hunt, whose health we are pleased to hear is in a
fair way of being re-established, will not retire, as he
had originally contemplated. Mr. J. A. Taylor, the
oth.er Member for the division, has now publicly ex-
pr. used his intention to resign his trust at the close of
the, present Parliament. There is no doubt, therefore,
that Mr. J. H. H. Foley and Captain Rushout will
vt talk over the course at the ensuing election.— Worcester
Chronicle.
WYCOMBE.—Mr. Palph Osborne has issued an address
t( ) the electors of Wycombe, and announced his intention
of resigning all claims to their suffrages at the approach-
ing election.
YORK.—In our last, we stated that it was the inten-
tion of Sir John Lowther, the Conservative representa-
tive of this city, not again to offer himself as a candidate,
but that his place on the hustings would be supplied by
J. G. Smyth, Esq., of Heath-hall, Wakefield, also a Con-
servative. Our statements proved to be correct, and the
address of Sir J. H. Lowther on retiring, and also that
of Mr. Smyth on offering himself as a candidate, have
appeared. The address of 11. R. Yorke, Esq, our re-
spected Liberal Member, on again offering himself for
the representation of the city of York, will also be
found in our columns. At present, no contest is antici-
pated.— York Courant.
ELGIN BURGHS.—We have just heard that Mr. Ban.
nerman, younger of Crimmonmogate, has been induced
to come forward in the Conservative interest, as a third
candidate for the representation of the Elgin district of
burghs.—North of Scotland Gazette.
li ADDINGTON BURGHS.—We understand
that Mr.
Balfour, the Tory and Protectionist M.P. for these
burg-hs, after completing, his canvass, has resolved to
proceed
no farther with the contest.—Scotsman.
CITY OF DUBLIN.—Mr. John O'Connell is the only
reeal cdidate yet announced. The present members,
Mepssrs.an Gregory and Grogan, again stand on the Tory
• ...

interest, although the former, in his address, declares
the necessity for " the removal of all harrassinF and
oppressive restrictions upon trade and commerce.
DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.--Mr. M‘Cullough, one of the
Fellows of the College, and a member of the Irish bar,
positively comes forward to dispute one of the seats with
the present member. Mr. F. Shaw is far from popular
amongst the clergy. Mr. M'Cullough is moderate in
politics, and is highly respected in the University.
CITY OF KILKENNY.—The repealers of Kilkenny, who
form a preponderating majority, are determined to 10-
elect Mr. John O'Connell, in order, as the Kilkenny
Journal says,
defeat to repeal principles in the metropolis."" that he may sit for this city, in case of a
BOROUGH OF CARLOW..—Major Layard, the present
Member, has addressed.'the electbrs as a candidate.
There is, as yet. no opponent inilre field.
BOROUGH OF DUNGARVON.—The Waterford ChronicleH
a repeal paper, says—" It is the Prevailing opinion here
that there will be no contest .iit this borough at the
general election. All the landlordi are in favour of the
present Member, and our leading' and influential re-
peaters adverse to oppose Mr. Shell."
QUEEN'S CouriTr.-7-The Leinster Express says:,--
" The Honourable Thomas Vesey, one of the present
representatives, and J. W. Fitzpatrick, Esq., are the only
candidates named as likely to come forward at the ensu-
ing election; Sir Charles COote.having declared his in-
tention of retiring, upon the dissolution of the present
Parliament."
COITNTY OF CARLOW.—The Carlow Sentinel says:—
" Colonel Bruen and his colleague, Captain M'Clintock
Sunbury, will be returned without opposition."

FOREIGN WOOL MAR z JUNE 25.—We
have to notice a general .t In the demand for
foreign wools this week. .7 of the new clip
being now pretty extensive, transactions have been more
freely entered into, and at an advance in prices concur-
rent with that which, so far, has ruled at the German

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 25.—The de-
mand for combing and clothing wool during the present
week has not been large. Prices have been about the
same as last week.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JUNE 25.—We have a
limited demand, but what sales are made are at the full
rates of the two previous weeks, our stocks being low,
particularly in bags; nor do we think they are likely to
be much increased soon, as the grower is indisposed to
sell the new wool at prices proportionate to what is
ruling in these markets.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 24.—The show of wool
at this day's market was large, and the buyers were also
numerous, but the trade continues dull, and several lots
are left unsold, though rather lower prices have been
submitted to. The 1 ,flowing are the nearest quotations:
—Super hog, 135. to 135. 6d.; hog and ewe, I Is. 6d. to
12s. 6d.; ewe, 10s. 6d. to I Is.; locks and cast, Bs. to 9s.

buyers, the parcels went off rather heavy at last week's
prices, and there was a small part left unsold.
LEEDS.—The amount of business transacted in our
cloth halls has been again very limited; stocks, however,
are, and prices well maintained. In the warehouses
there is very little doing, but as it is between the sea-
sons, it is usually flat at this time of the year.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There was no im-
provement in the demand for wool. Prices are very
firm. This was partly induced by the accounts from
London of the sales of colonial wool. There is an in-
creased demand for yarns, and, if anything, a shade of
improvement in prices. The spinners are now busy.
There was a good attendance of merchants, both conti-
nental and home, and a great number of pieces were
bought for the autumn trade. The purchases for
America are not so extensive at present ; in some par-
ticular lots an increase of price was obtained.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING. Throughout
the entire week, and especially since Tuesday, there
have been considerable inquiries for most descriptions of
grey cloth, and an immense business might have been
done if manufacturers would have consented to what may
be called late prices. Generally, however, manufacturers
have been firm, and few, if any sales made, except at a
small advance. There seems now to be no doubt but
that a good business will be done in the coming week,
at an established advance on all descriptions of printing
cloth—domestics and shirtings. The print trade is
by no means brisk, but the Greeks and Americans are
purchasing to a fair extent. We notice with much
pleasure a steady improvement among, the dyers,
who have for a long time past been miserably dull.
The grey fustian trade is very much depressed ; some
goods are selling at a lower figure than when cotton was
at the lowest point some eighteen months since. The silk
weavers are not so well employed as could be desired,
still with the price of the raw material being very low,
the manufacturers need not be apprehensive of a decline
in the value of their stocks, and this no doubt impar:s
considerable confidence to the trade. In yarns rather
more is doing, and generally at slightly improved rates.
To the Medite:ranean a fair business is doing, as also
to the East and to China ; on the whole business may

be regarded as decidedly better.
NOTTINGHAM.—The cotton hosiery trade has im-
proved. This change fur the better is not, however,
very perceptible at present. In several villages the
greater part of the stockingers are out of work, and in
some cases are set to level hills and such like labour. The
fancy bobbin net trade continues in a despairing condition,
not only in this country, but also in France and Germany,
as machine lace is not now held in the estimation it has
been. The prices offered for nets are in many instances
ruinous, so as to prevent all speculation, and leave the
machine owner no alternative but to decline making.
The cotton warp lace trade is in a deplorable state, and
some of the smaller houses are turning their attention to
bobbin-net. The silk warp branch is rather better than
the cotton, and seems likely to continue so.—Nottingham
Review.
LEICESTER.—There is a tendency towards an im-
provement in the demand for goods, and some hosiers
have partially set on their hands again. Several buyers
have visited our market, but their purchases have been
but small at present, and made with much caution.
There has been more doing in yarns at a slight reduc-
tion in price; the spinners still work short time, and
complain of not being able to purchase wools to meet the
prices yarns are selling for. But little is doing in wools,
and will not be until our fair, fixed for the 30th instant,
is over.—Leicester Journal.

OPENING OF THE ROYAL GARDENS AT KEW.-
Saturday the pleasure grounds in connexion with the
Royal Gardens at Kew were, according to annual cus-
tom, thrown open to the public, and will remain so until
the end of September, when they will be again closed
until the Midsummer of 1848.

MADAGASCAR.—There appears to be little chance
of any opening of the trade of Madagascar by the Queen
of that island. The rumour circulated in town through

the journals a few days ago, that the authorities at
Tamatave had announced that it was probable that the
trade would be opened next year, is incorrect. Captain

Labury, of the Charles Heddle, touched there on his
way to West Coast for a cargo of oxen. Ho was refused
any oxen there, and he learned that the Europeans at
that place were badly treated and under the strictest
surveillance. A Malgacbe, one of the Administration,
having openly shown a desire to renew connexion with
the Europeans, had been condemned by the Queen to be
burnt alive, but he avoided this cruel death by.swallow-
ing poison. Malgache women who bad in their posses-
sion merchandize formerly belonging to the traders who
had been expelled, and who were accused of having kept
up a correspondence with them, were publicly sold to
slavery.—Mauricien.
The Observer, of Sunday, June 27, contained
nearly two folio columns of particulars of the opening
of the Trent Valley Rsilway, on the afternoon of Satur-
day, at Tamworth, speech of Sir Robert Peel, &c. The
Observer also contained near three columns of a report
of the proceedings of the Commissioners of the National
Exhibition of Works of Art at Westminster-hall, with a
short critique on 46 of the splendid pictures, the pre-
miums, and to whom awarded—war in China, three
columns—fracas at the Opera, Hon. G. De Grey and E.
Frith, Esq., a folio column—a column and a half of the
funds and railways—a column and a half of births, mar-
riages, and deaths—about 100 miscellaneous advertise-

coming week, and 23 folio columns of news, foreign and
domestic, chiefly original. Price of the Observer 6d.
There is scarcely a club-house, institution, library, or
news-room in all England, Scotland, Ireland, the Conti-
nent, East and West Indies, or America, in which the
Observer is not taken in, and in many instances dupli-
cate copies. The extensive publication of the Observer
commences at six, and concludes at ten on Sunday morn-
ings, at No. 170, Strand. A Monday edition of the
Observer, best adapted for the country and abroad, is
regularly published at four o'clock on Monday afternoon.

Their Lordships met this morning at eleven o'clock.
Mr. Brunel, C.E., was cross-examined by Mr. HOPE,
with a view of showing that the proposed line would
afford all the requisite advantage to the district. in the
course of his cross-examination nothing, however, was
elicited to shake the testimony which he had given upon
a previous occasion, with respect to the superiority of
the lines supported by the Great Western Company, in
connexion with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway, over those proposed by the Stour
Valley Company, which were supported by the North.-
Western Company.

TEE POTATO Cuor.—On Saturday many of the
market gardeners at Mortlake, Barnes, Putney, Fulham,
and places adjacent, commenced moving the early po-
tato crops, which, without any exceptions that could be
ascertained, are perfectly free from the aphis vastator,
and all other kinds of diseases. The number of potatoes
on each root is about the average, and they are as fine
and sound as in any previous season. Some recommen-
dations have recently been made by a Morning Con-
temporary, having for their object the immediate up-
rooting of potatoes for the purpose of sowing harico
beans. A correspondent remarks that such a course, if
adopted, would temporarily annihilate two valuable
sources of food, inasmuch as the potatoes would be de-
stroyed, and the time for sowing harico beans is past,
the proper time being towards the close of April or very
early in May. The harico beans sown in the spring of
the present year are scarcely yet in blossom, and the
probability is, if they were sown now, that, being a
very tender plant, they would not outlive the short but
severe frosts which it is well known immediately precede
the early dawn of August mornings. Throughout the
county of Surrey, generally, the potatoes are in a most
healthy condition.
THOM as MILLER " NOT THE BASKET WEAVER."
—We are happy to correct an error which crept into our
review of Friday, upon Mr. Miller's recent work, '4 The
Language of Flowers." The error we allude to arose
from a momentary misapprehension of names, or rather
of individualities. Thomas Miller, the poet of the
country and the green fields, the author of so many
clever r fictions, " Royston Gower," " Fair Rosamond,
" Gideon Giles," " Godfrey Malvern," &c. &c., is not the
individual afflicted with defective vision either physically
or morally. A similarity of sirname and christian name
originated the mistake. May the eyes of Thomas Miller
ever remain as now, unclouded.
INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM, WANSTEAD.-011 Sun-
day morning a sermon, on behalf of the funds of this
truly charitable institution, was preached at the parish
church of St. Bride, Fleet-street, by the Rev. Henry
Melvill, D.D. The Rev. Gentleman warmly and elo-
quently advocated the cause of the charity, until the
establishment of which no asylum for the infant orphan
was in existence. There are at present 260 inmates of
the institution, to which 50 additional children will be
elected on the next half-yearly ballot on the Ist of No-
vember. The sum collected amounted to 781. 6s. The
prospects of the charity appear to be highly cheering,
and it is hoped that the committee will be enabled to
extend their efforts on behalf of the fatherless and help-
. less infant.
