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 lierbary, 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 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 l Is. 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 perflime it is far
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 M the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops oil the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming awl*, with the comb, make it strong, and
lrevent it turning grey, ren4eiving the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush 'bekre brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.

The most delicate ladies may Use this delightful proetuct of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing
)(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
it the crown of the heat ; if very bad, repeat it eiery quarter of an
our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
air oil children's heads in a few appplicatlons. It used on infants'
cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determ ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
Isitter the latter. The solitary one may shield him,elf under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eomprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
a d social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and Janice demand that health should form an item
1,1 the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more seedy than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVER WELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by u .qualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little putlications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health:and position to this ob-
servance of the m xims he would inculcate—t rdo unto others as he
would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be bad of

every part of Great Britain the most numerous and
earnest representations, requesting her Majesty's Go-
vernment to obtain from that of France permission that
such of the people of Otaheite as may wish to withdraw
from the island and to remove and settle elsewhere may
do so kithout molestation ; c irryikg with them of course
any moveable prot:ecty which they may possess, or being
allowed to di,pose of that or any other prop, rty which
they may have in the island, it :hey wish to do so.
Her Majesty's Government cannot imagine that the
Government of France can have any objection to con-
sent to this request. a compliance with which will afford
very great satisfaction to a large portion of the British
nation, while, at the same time, it woul, probably put
an end to local differenr•es and contests which must be
more or less embarrassing to the Government of France
It will afford her Majesty's Government great plea-
sure if your Excellency can enable me to state to the
memorialists that the above-mentioned permission will
be granted by the French Government to the people of
Otaheite.—l am, &c.,

COUNT ST. ♦LJLAIRE TO VISCOUNT PALMEIRSTON.
(Translation.)
London, Feb. 1.

The undersigned, &c., has received the note which his
Excellency Viscount Palmerston, &c., addressed to him
on the 20th of January last, and in which he expressed
a desire to learn whether such of the inhabitants of
Otaheite as might wish to quit that island, in order to
establish themselves elsewhere, would be allowed to
depart therefrom without opposition on the part of the,
local authorities.

The undersigned is enabled to announce to his Excel-
lency Viscount Palmerston, that as long ago as the 2d
of December last, the Minister of the Marine and Colo-
nies wrote to the Governor of the French establishments
of Oceania, instructing him to offer no obstacle to the
emigration to the islands of the north-west of such of
the natives of Otaheite as might desire to depart from
that island, with the view of withdrawing from the
authority of the Protectorate.
The undersigned therefore congratulates himself on
having to communicate to his Excellency Lord Palmer-
ston a decision which will be satisfactory to him, and in
which his Excellency will see a new proof of the mode-
ration anti of the spirit of conciliation which the Govern-
ment of the,King will always manifest in its relations
with the natives of Otaheite.—He avails, &c.,

THE HERRING TRADE.-THURCO, JULY I.—We
have little or nothing to report in the herring trade for
the past fortnight. The quantity of fish in the bay, of
which there were some good appearances a week or two
ago, have disappeared. The fishermen are still prose-
cuting the fishing, but without much success. The few
they are getting are either sold in the town or used as
bait for cod. Of the latter the fishermen are some
days getting fair quantities, as many as IQO per boat.
From Wick, we learn that on Thursday reaming two
boats bad fourteen crane of herrings betwixt them—one
had ten and the other four crans.—Caithness Chronicle.

JENNY LIND.—The prevailing enthusiasm regard-
ing the Sweedish nightingale has already begun to mani-
fest itself in this quarter. We are informed that from
one town in the neighbourhood application has been
made for no less than 200 guinea tickets of admission to
the Music-hall on the night of her performince here,
and from various other quarters the demand: has betin
nearly as great. In Manchester tickets for Mdlle.
Lind's performances there have been selling at from half
a guinea to a guinea and a half ; and will doubtless in-
crease in value as it draws nearer the time of her ap-
pearance.—Scotsman.

IMPORTS or GRAlN.—During the week beginning
on Thursday, June 25, and ending Thursday, July 1,
no less than 25,362 quarters of grain were imported into
Leith. We alluded to this large importation in our last,
but from want of room were then unable to eive parti-
culars. Ot this quantity, there were 4,682 k quarters
of wheat, 3,892 quarters of barley, 16,217 quarters of
oats, and 570 k of pease. The following are the vessels
by which these large supplies arrived : Anna, 546
quarters wheat ; Mary, 635 ditto ; Rebecca, 920
ditto ; Wihelmine, 270 ditto ; John and Jean,
367 ditto ; Posie'ton, 411 ditto ; De Jonge Klass,

Conside (s), 61 do. There have also arrived 70 tons
Norwegian potatoes by the Pheenix from Drontheim.
There have also been considerable arrivals of grain, &c.,
into other ports in the Firth, and on the east coast,
chiefly from Riga.—Scotsman.
FEARFUL OCCU.XELENCE IN LONG-ACRE. —On
Thursday, between eriven and twelve o'clock, a most
fearful accident occurred at the corner of Endell-street,
Long-acre, by whidli four persons had a very narrow
escape of their lives, and, as it is, one of the individuals
has sustained such serious injuries as to render his re-
covery extremely dubious. It seems that at the above
period a number of workmen were employed in pulling
down the old wall of a building, when the foundation
suddenly gave way, and four of the labourers being at
the time beneath, were completely buried under the
bricks and rubbish. Owing to the active assistance
afforded, three of the poor fellows, namely, Murphy,
Jones, and Johnson, were soon extricated, but not before
they had each received considerable injuries, though
happily not such as to cause any serious apprehensions.
It is, however, to be regretted that Timothy Sullivan,
aged 25, was removed in a horribly mutilated state. On
being taken to the Charing-cross Hospital, he was placed
under Mr. Young, the resident medical officer, who dis-
covered that he had sustained a fracture of the right
clavicle, a dislocation of the collar bone, a compound
fracture of the left leg, and other dangerous wounds. He
remains in a most distressing condition.
MASTERS AND SERVANTS.—In the Bloomsbury
County Court, on Thursday, a footman named Mead
brought an action against Mr. Kenyon Parker, the
Chancery barrister, for a month's wages. Mr. Parker
defended the action in person. The plaintiff was en-
gaged for a fortnight, and remained a few days over, but
on a wilful disobedience, as it was alleged by Mrs. Parker
to bring an article into the dining room, he was re-
quested immediately to leave the house. On Mr. Parker s
return to town, he was paid his wages, and now claimed
a month's notice, bringing his action for the amount.

Mr. Parker, on the authority of several cases, urged that
the hiring had been special, and not for a year, and
