TO TIIE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter Inserte4 in the "'Limes" news-
paper on Ai;g. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this ietter was put Into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
3irs. lveekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
iunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, or the Herber), High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Itegenera•or, 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 more luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekiey inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an Ils. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perierxe, not only in the restoration and production of hair in akund-
ance, but a 4 a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is tar
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any-
lady of respectability to the above tact. -3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops 0.1 the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
-irevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few droos 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
)dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
n the crown of the hea I; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an
our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
air on children's heads in a few appplic itions. It used on infants'
earls, 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.

TION of ARTirICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or

teeth that are loose, anti is guaranteed to restore articulation and

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Frolic, 16, Commander
C. 13. Hamilton, was paid off yesterday in a manner so
oecLrly and expeditiously as never to have been equalled
st this port. The high estimation in which Commander
Hamilton held his crew mss be judged from the tact of
their having had leave granted them on the day prior to
paying off to go ashore, and returning to the ship per-
fectly sober, and within the time allowed them—a cir-
eunaqance in itself so perfectly illustrative of the excel-
lent discipline of the vessel that we deem it worthy of
so cial comment. It is a feature which never came
un for our observation in connexion with any other ship
paid off at this port. The Frolic, after tour years and
a half service on the South American station, has
returned home with the same masts aad rigging she
went out with—a tact which in these days of dockings
and re-dockings (e%ery alternate month with some
vessels) speaks very forcibly to favour of her construc-
tion. She has been exceedingly nealthy, and outsailed
some of the lltstest merchantuseu afloat. This is her
first commission, having been built at this port in 1842
upon the design of Captain Hendry, R.N. She is of 511
tons.
The Vengeance, 84, Captain S. Lushington, is rapidly
fitting for sea-going service. A further deiaLlunent of
marines, with Lieutenants Aslett and Ward, joined
yesterday. Commander Althaw, late of the flarship
Winchester, is appointed to her, slid Lieutenant Rogers,
her First Lieutenant, is appointed First of tae St.

The Polyphetnus steam-sloop Commander M•Cle-
verty, is ready to leave at half an hour's notice with dis-
patches for Lisbon. Captain M'Cleverty took those he
brought on Thursday to the Adrairalty himself, per spe-
cial engine, on the South. Western Railway. The Poly •
phemus made a splendid passage from Lisbon to this
harbour, having performed the journey in three nays
and fifteen hours ' - one day was very foul, which makes
the time occupied in performing the journey longer thau
it otherwise would have been. This is the quickest run
made between Lisbon and this port since the commences
ment of the Portuguese revolution. Captain M'Cleverty
is expected down this evening with the dispatches.
The Daring, 12, Commander Peel, was at Vera Cruz
on the 2d of May. The Persian, 16, Commander Cory-

when she would proceed to Halifax.

yarn, Captain Count de Trampe, is expected at this port.
She has been in the Downs some days.

devolving on the engineers of that branch of bar Ma-

were offered by private companies, and high rank and

o
alterations as to the appointment, rank, and pay of the e
officers, I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to transmit to you the accompanying
copies of the rules and regulations respecting the exa-
mination, rank, pay, and appointment of engineers under
the new establishment. But at the same time I am to
acquaint you that all engineers at present in the service
are to be continued at their present scale of pay and al-
lowances, rank, and denomination, until they shall be
promoted into the new establishment, when they are to
be furnished with pay ay documents up to that date, and
their names are to removed on the ship's books from
the fourth list Warrant Officers,' to the second list
Commission Officers,' civil branch.
Those engineers who draw bills for their pay as
warrant officers may include the residue of that pay in
the first quarterly bill they may draw on the new esta-
blishment, great care being taken that the period of ser-
vice and the amount of pay ou each list be clearly distin-
guished on the bill; but those who have not drawn bills,
having allotment in force, are to draw their quarterly
bills from the date of promotion only, and the captain
or commanding officer is to notify without loss of

BOATS ON THE SERPENTINE.—Lord Morpeth, in
the present dearth of employment for watermen on the
Thames, has granted permission to some of them to ply and
let boats on the Serpentine, on every day during the week
except Sunday. but nut during the hours set apart for bath-
ing. Regulations have been issued, with his Lordship's sig-
nature, which provide that no party shall exceed six, includ-
ing children. Each boat to be provided with a life-buoy or
cork cushion. The fares are to be 2s. an hour, and no hiring
fir less than an hour, except to cross the river, for which the
fare is to be 6d. for three persons, or Is. for more than three.
If his Lordship would add a floating orchestra to row gently
up and down the river on a "summer's evening," he would
ncrease the attraction.
