ItEMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the defects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls,
a gentleman residing et Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returning from Harlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re-
sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill-
ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con-
'anued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly
bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the Rey. J. E. Daniel,
then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. tinder these circumstances, he was induced to try the
effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR. OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
esed the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very
thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity,
that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly
for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger.
11.* Beware of " Spurious Imitationsl—The genuine article has
the words " ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL " on the wrapper.
Price 3s. 6d.-7s.—Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d.;
and double that size, 21s. per Bottle.
Sold by the Proprietors, at 20, Hatton-garden, London; and by al
Chemists and Perftimers.

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 21 per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.68 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25.87 k, it follows that gold is 0.75 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 4371 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s.
1.1,81. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
t *; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13.14, it follows that the price of gold is the same
in Hamburgh and London. The course of exchange at New
York on London is about 1061 per
cent.,bing and the par of e
2.83 109 23-40 per
ex-
change between England and America
cent., It follows that the exchange is
per,.cernkt.beainggainfosrt
England. But the quoted exchange at New lo
bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from
the above difference.
SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. WM. SMITH, THE CO-
MEDIAN.—Mr. W. Smith, the well-known comedian, for
many years a great favourite at the Surrey Theatre, ex-
pired on the morning of Sundayl last, at his late residence,
23, Brook-street, Kennington appears that the deceased
for some time past had been indisposed,
l but nothing fatal
was anticipated by his friends. s late as last Thursday or
Friday he was able to walk out, and ntshwaetrhteo
was
friend
who had inquired how he felt, he replied
get-
ting as strong as ever he was, and that he intended tosee,it
the undertaker for the present. He, however, was mistaken
in his calculations, for he never went out again after he
reached his home. His symptoms became worse, and he
" shook off this mortal coil without a groan." His death is
considered to have been perfectly natural, but, as it was
rather sudden, it is quite probable that a Coroner's inquest
will be held on the body. The deceased was only in his 47th
year.
CANDID —A poor woman, on Tuesday last, went
into the shop of Mr. Moore, baker, Ancoats-street, Man-
chester, to purchase a 41b. loaf. On putting down a shilling
in payment, she remarked, " That, sir, is the last shilling I
have in the world, but when this loaf is eaten I will come
again and take a loaf, whether I have money or not, and then
I shall be sent to the New Bailey!" adding, " You know, sir, I
have been a regular customer for many years, but there is not
one of our family that is in work, nor any prospect of being
so." Things are approaching a crisis, and of this our autho-
rities are aware.
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.—His fate furnishes a re-
markable instance of the instability of human greatness, and
there is no doubt that his dislike to medicine remotely caused
his early dissolution ; for rather than take some simple
remedy, he allowed disease to gain the ascendancy over his
constitution, and death was the result. Thus it is that per-
sons cannot be too watchful of theirstate of health, and being
always provided with a safe and efficient medicine, such as
Frampton's Pill of Health, enjoy the two greatest blessings of
this world, health and long life.
