AN INFALLIBLE HAIR DYE.
ROWLANDS' MELACONIIA, the most suc-
cessful liquid preparation ever known in this or anyteitlr
country for dyeing the hair of the head, whiskers, mustachios, and
eyebrows a natural and permanent brown or black, so exactly re-
sembling the natural colour of the hair as to defy detection. It is
perfqctly innocent in its nature, is free from unpleasant smell, and
can 'be used by any lady or gentleman with the greatest ease and
secrecy. Its effects are so permanent,-that neither water nor perspi-
ration will influence them ; and it is entirely free from those properties
(usual in heir dyes) which give an unnatural red or purple tint to the
hair. Price ss.

imparts the most pure and pearl-like whiteness, and gives sweetness
and perfume to the breath. Price 2s 9d. per box.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The high estimate formed by the public during the twelve
years WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S)
chemically purified material has been before it (made into every
usetul and miutmental article usually made in silver, possessing, as
it dces, the charaeteristic purity and durab Illy of silver), has called
into existence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate," "Berlin
Silver," and other so called substitutes ; they are at best but bad
imitations of the genuine articles manufactured, and sold only by him.

Messrs. Elkington and Co.,t beyond all comparison the very best
anicle, neat to sterling silver, that can be employed as such either
usefully or ornamentally. in the lengthened and increasing popu-
larity of the material itself, and the high character of the method of
plating, the public have a Guarantee that the articles sold by w S.
Burton (and by him (lily) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably
superior to what can be supplied at any other house, while by no
possible test can they be distinguished from real silver.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS:

(From The Sun of last Night.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool was very inactive
again yesterday, at the previous reduction in pricea.,
Sales, 4,000 bales, 1,500 American and .500 Surat being
on speculation. American realised 6di. to 7kd. per Ila.
Shares were dull.
Relative to cotton in the United Str rtes, the following
is the account made up to Dec. 30,. brought by the
(7ambria :
Receipts at ports of the U. S. since Sept. 1., 1846 564,033

Money appears to have been scat tear at New York,
and there is naturally much curiosity e_xpnessed to learn
the method which Government will ad'op t to raise means
fur the Mexican war. It is evident, from an official
note, forwarded by Santa Anna to data American Com-
mander-in-Chief, that the republic wi II continuo the
struggles against its invaders as long- as possible ; at
least if Santa Anna represents the lei ling of Congress
and of the people at large. Some idea: was entertained
that Treasury-bills would be issued ins ti tad of a new loan
!wing raised, but it is admitted that w hatever may be
the sacrifice at which money can be o; tained, it must
be submitted to. A writer in the .11Te w York Herald
states " that the Secretary of the Tre: is ury will find his
financial skill tried to its utmost befo ri 3 he gets out of
the embarrassments the changes in the: commercial and
financial system of the Government, ci inected with the
Mexican war, have produced. There could not have
been a more unfavourable period pits had upon for the
radical changes made in these two sy s> ',ems than this,
particularly on account of the heavy ex,ot mditures grow-
ing out of this war. The tariff was cut down to a strict
revenue standard, at a time above all sat hers, when we
wanted double the annual income from i ,h. at source ; and
had there been no alteration at all, the. old tariff would
have been far beloar a revenue standard,. ,during the con-
tinuance of the war.
" In connexion with the reduction in ache tariff, came
the Independent Treasury Act, establis ttirag the finances
of the Government upon a specie basis, -which is calcu-
lated to increase the value of money a rid reduce the
supply, at a time when it is extremely .important that
money should be very cheap and plent:a. These mea-
sures, at a proper time, would have opera to id to a charm;
they are perteetly well adapted to each: other, and in
favourable times would have had a very fa vourable effect
npon the currency and commerce of the country. We
are now in an embarrassed position, and ; the emergency
requires measures pat titularly adapted tc it, however
temporary in their operation they may b e."'
The surveys upon the St. Lawrenc e and Atlantic
Junction Railway appear to have been p r, ,ceeding well,
and the line from Sherbrooke to the bout a ;ary had been
found to be easy of construction. The bay of Toronto
was frozen over on the 15th 01 Decem h er. The Pro-
vincial Parliament had been prorogued to tithe 2d of Feb.
Advice:, of the 2d of December from I 1 onduras state
that there had been a serious outbreak at; San Salvador
against the established Government, but. that the in-
surgents were signally defeated.
The English Stocks have to-day been clie pressed again
to the extent of kto 4 per cent., Consul. s having alter-
nated from 93* to 931 The New Three -a.nd-a•Quarter
per Cents. have been 95 to 4. Bank Stc ick is firm at
2061. Exchequer-bills have realised It )s . to 13s. pre
mium, being the previous quotations.
The half- monthly account is now in c( is irse of adjust-
ment, and there is a retrograde movemet i:t again in the
quotations. Spanish Five per Cents. ba v e been 251
and the Three per Cents. 351 Portu gr tese Four per
Cents. have been marked 36i- to 361 for nh, e new account
day. Mexican Bonds are quoted at 23/.. Dutch Two-
and a-Half per Cents.- have been at a decline to 59
and 581.
Railway Shares are again flat, and in the majority
of cases rather lower.

FRENCH vessel arrived at the port of
_
Liverpool from Bordeaux, has brought an entire cargo
of plums and prunes, the production of France, in a dried
state, consisting of 220 barrels, 203 half barrels, and 130
quarter barrels of the latter description of fruit, and 57
cases and 122 boxes of the fitter kind, known in the
trade and by the public as French or imperial plums. A
complete cargo, and to such an extent, of these articles
is most unusual, and must be attributed to the produc-
tiveness of the past season for such fruits.
DURATION OF THE LIVES OF NOBLES AND SOVE-
REIGNS.—ExcIuding deaths by violence, the average
duration of life among the English aristocracy was at a
very low point in the fourteenth century ; it rose to a
maximum in the early part of the sixteenth century ;
and thenceforward it gradually declined till the close of
the eighteenth century. The average duration of life
(as inferred from the age at death) of sovereign princes
since the Christian era (excluding violent deaths), is, on
the contrary, gradually and steadily increased ' from
about 52 years, in the first five centuries, to ahcut
58
years in the last century. The most recent comparisons
give the whole expectation of life at 21 years of a;.;e in
the three classes of the sovereigns, the aristocracy, and
the gentry of this country, as 54, 65, and 671
}'ears
respectively, and at the age of 51 the expectation is 64,
72, and 74 years. Thus kings are placed at the bottom
of the scale.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN
RAlLWAY.—Wednesday an inquest was held at Weybridge,
before Mr. Woods, coroner for the western division of Surrey,
on the body of Clifford Elisha, aged 59, schoolmaster of the
Chertsey Union, who was killed at the Weybridge station on
the evening of Saturnay last. After a long inquiry the jury
returned a verdict of " Accidental death, and that no blame
was attachable to the company's servants."
