the best that can possibly be devised. It is, therefore, reasonable to
suppose that it will receive from the public a large portion of supporte
,
thus insuring to the shareholders a corresponding return upon oho

TO THE LADIEs.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Rea erd, remember, this letterme was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to .
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tuaity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, 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
it ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenetor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 11s. 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
it i abund
far-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume s
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above facts.— 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
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair lirlillancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product Of the
most •aromatie herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. it produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
heads, 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.

SLATE QUARRY, NEAR CARNARVON, NORTE WALES.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to DIS-
POSE OF, by PRIVATE CONTRACT, a valuable SLATE
QUARRY, in the most convenient position for readily embarking
the produce to every part, and which is held under a lease for
twenty-one years, renewable on application. It is about seven miles
from the thriving town of Carnarvon, with the advantage of a rail
or tram-road, which goes through the lower part of the quarry, and
thence to that town. The quality of the slate, which is of a most
beautiful blue, cannot be surpassed ; it is to be found
that may
in vast
abundance, and capable of being manufactured
be required, A considerable part on the top has been worked,
evincing ample proof of the superiority of the produce. A short
level can easily be made, so as to have a depth of twenty-two yards
over the whole of the quarry. The length of the vein is about 300
yards, arid the breadth about 130. There Is every convenience and
advantage for conducting the workings uccessfully ; and there cad
be no question a large amount of annual profit may be safely
upon by the employment of only a moderate capital.
11'i .Thomas Richardson, of South Penrallt, will show the quarry
of rfwhom full particulars may be had ; also at Mr. George Robins 's
offices, Covent-garden. -

IMMENSE EXTENT.
TO be LET, splendidly Furnished, for Three or
Five Years, or the FREEHOLD to be SOLD.
This Property is decidedly the great feature of Kemp-town, and. it
may also be added, the Lion of Brighton. The last three years have
made it known and universally believed that Kemp-town is in the
ascendant, and the house under review is so splendidly fitted up, the
furniture is of an order so recherché. that it would be in vain to seek
for a parallel case in the selection of an upholsterer. Mr. Robins has
been fortunate in acquiring the assistance and exceedingly great tact
and judgment of Mr. Martin, of East-street, and who has in conse-
quence deservedly acquired the title to ail the f..ine of Dillow, the
far-famed of Oxford-street, which name will distinguish hhn now
in his progress through life. The Marine Viila will be in perfect
readiness next week, for a Nobleman or Family's occupation. It
contains the following admirable accommodation :
THIRD FLOOR—Two large bed-rooms, and three smaller ditto.
SECOND FLOOR—Superior bed-room, with dressing ditto and
water-closet attached, one ditto with dressing-room, and two smaller

BRADLEY'S CASTORINE OIL FOR THE
HAIR.
This very pure and beautiful oil is prepared from the finest castor
oil, by divesting it of its smell, stickiness, and viscid principles, and
is most agreeably perfumed ; whilst it is thus freed from all the
thick, fatty, and adhesive matter, it retains all the stimulating and
lubricating properties of the parent oil, and, unlike all other oils,
bear's grease, pomatums, &c., does nut possess that excessive greasi-
aess which soils the head-dress, bonnet, and hat, and has a power
peculiar to itself of keeping the hair in its place. Castor oil is now
universally admitted to be the best application for the growth, pre-
servation, and beautifying of the hair; for, by its gentle stimulating
nature, it induces the capilary vessels to perform their functions,
the dormant state of which deprives the hair of its due nourishment
—l,enCe the reason why it proves so excellent a remedy for the fall-
ing off of the hair, preventing its turning grey, removing the scurf,
and checking its formation.
The Cutorine Oil is prepared and sold by J. Bradley, chemist, 10,
Pont-street, Belgrave -square, and sto be had of his agents, Sanger,

FIRE IN pARKEK-STREET, DRURY-LANE.—Last
night, shortly before midnight, an alarming fire was dis-
covered upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. W.
Playwell, timber-bender, No. 16, Parker-street, Drury-
lane. The flames originated in the lower floor of the
C_ounty, and West of England
workshop, and extended from thence to the upper story,
seizing in their progress upon a considerable quantity of
the stock in trade. The
.alarm having been promptly
given by a passer-by, the intelllligence was dispatched to

THE BIUDS IN ST. JAmßs'S PARK.—The past
season has been very successful in adding to the number
of interesting specimens which form so great an object of
attraction to the ornamental waters. The number of
additions by the breeding of young ones, exceeds 350,
and there is, in fact, now almost a greater number of
aquatic fowl than the resources of the water and the
plantations will conveniently admit of. Upwards of
twenty swans have thus been awith whom the manage-
and the Ornithological Society,
moot of the waters is invested, has been enabled to carry
out, to a considerable extent,one of the principles for
which it and the present collection was established, the
distribution of birds amend its members.

Durtux, Nov. Io.—There is no variation in the ac-
counts received from the provinces to-day. The excite-
ment appears to be wearing itself out, and the increase
of employment afferded by the Board of Works, coupled
with the favourable reaction (to the consumer) in the
prices of provisions, affords a strong hope that the dis-
ease has been brought to a favourable crisis, and that a
gradual amendment may be henceforward regarded as
certain, although slow. At the Corn Exchange, this
day, prices of all kinds of grain, owing, of course, to
the nature of the last advices from America, met en
advance, but, considering that the supply was short,, the
rise was extremely insignificant, not exceeding sixpence
per barrel. The arrivals of Indian corn continue to
increase, both here and at the southern ports. Four
more vess( Is, laden with heavy cargoes of this grain,
have arrived at Cork since Saturday last, and further
importations are daily expected.
It will be seen by the annexed letter, addressed by
Mr. Redington to the Rev. J. M.Hale, parish priest,
that the Government have issued new instructions for
the formation of relief committees, by which it is made
compulsory on the lieutenants of counties to admit one
Roman Catholic clergyman, at least, from each parish.
" Dublin Castle, Nov. 4.

" Sir,—l am directed by the Lord-Lieutenant to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27th ult.,
and I have the honour to state that, by an additional
instruction relative to the formation of relief committees,
every clergyman is enabled to nominate one of his
curates to be a member of the committees in his place,
for each parish committed to his charge in the district.
"The instructions do not sanction the re-assembling of
the old committees, without reference to the lieutenant
of the county, who is, at the same time, empowered to
add to the present committee such persons as he thinks
fit.—l hare the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
" J. N. REDINGTON."

"Rev. James 31‘liale, parish priest, Hollymount."
The following is an extract of a letter from a gentle-
man who holds considerable property in the neighbour-
hood of Ballinasloe. His case is but a solitary one out
of hundreds similarly circumstanced :
" There are," he writes, " over 5001. due to me, and I
cannot be certain of getting 51 within a month. Even
tenants who owe me the rent of 1845 decline passing
their bills for the arrears. This would not annoy me
so much, but that I know well they are able to pay.
Mark ! these are not the people who are really un-
able to meet their demands, but the snug farmers on the
-- lands. . . . There are several public works in
progress here, on which large numbers are employed ;
but the keeping of these roads in repair will continue
as a perpetual blister on the land ; and one-half of them
are perfectly useless. Just fancy one of these new roads
running parallel for miles with the mail coach road, and
made apparently "for no better or more useful purpose
than to shorten the distance to Ballinasloo by half a
mile, for the accommodation of half a dozen families !"

CONFLICT BETWEEN the POLICE

- - _
AND W HITEBOYS.
Between eight and nine o'clock on Wednesday night
an armed` party of 12 men, with their faces blackened,
attacked the dwelling of John Piper, at Scart, within
two miles of Rathkeale, in search of arms, when five of
them entered, and succeeded in carrying off a gun.
From this they proceeded to the residence of Mr.
James Condon, adjoining the same townland, where they
demanded admittance at the back door, but were refused,
that gentleman informing them from one of the windows
that he bad no firearms, at the same time adding, that if
they did not believe his word to go to the front door, and
he would allow them to satisfy themselves. They, how-
ever, declined the invitation, and retired from before the
house, having first cautioned Mr. Condon against de-
manding rents from his tenantry, under pain of death.
They did not go far when they were observed by a
small party of police then on patrol, consisting of four
men, viz., constable Alfred, sub-constables Kairns, Shea-
han, and Laurenson, who followed them across the fields,
calling on them in the usual way to stand and surrender.
The gang peremptorily refused, telling the police to go
back, and at the same time turning round they dis-
charged five shots at the constabulary; the constable re-
turned the fire, and one of the gang fell, apparently
wounded, but being raised by his associates, was carried
over a ditch into an adjoining field.
The other three policemen then loaded, and prepared
to pursue the fugitives, who in the interval gained some
ground, and, as they retreated, turned round occasion-
ally, firing at their pursuers, fortunately without effect.
After a good run the police closed with them as they
were crossing a high wall, and again fired, when a second
man was observed to fall from the top, manifestly
wounded, as the stones were besmeared with blood,
which was also discernible along the grass. It being a
moonlight night, the police did not lose sight of the
party, whom they chased into a haggard where several
stacks of corn were piled, behind which the Whiteboys
took refuge ; but the police, nothing daunted, inter-
cepted two of the Whiteboys, with whom they had a
desperate combat, when the rest of the fellows fled in
he confusion, and the police eventually overcame the
two, who were made prisoners after much difficulty and
handcuffed. Upon search, both were found armed with
guns; and one of them had a very fine military sword
attached to his girdle, which has since been identified
by Mr. George Massy, of Creaves, as his property, and
which was taken from that gentleman's residence about
a month since.
The Rockites were brought into Rathkeale Bridewell
the same night, without being allowed to remove the
disguise from their features. One of them received a
bayonet wound in the breast during the struggle with
the police, but the other sustained. little injury. The
names of the parties are—John Sheehy, a blacksmith,
from Askeaton, and James O'Donnell, a farmer's son.
Next morning the police searched the neighbourhood of
the scene of action, and found two guns, which the rest
of the party left behind in their precipitate retreat.
While in the bridewell on Thursday night, one of the pri-
soners attempted to commit suicide, by. cutting his throat
with a piece of window glass.—Limerick Chronicle.

FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 9.—lt seems as if Brussels were
doomed to be continually alarmed by repeated fires.
The ruins caused by the conflagration at the Place St.
Gery were still burning, when a fire broke out in three
different places, one of which was in the Court of Ac-
counts. It appears that the watchman did not sound his
horn so early as he ought to have done, but it is likely
that the fog hindered him from seeing the fire till it had
become very intense. Two immense cisterns in the
Hotel of Arnberg furnished a great supply of water.
The most important documents and the registers were
saved, but the papers relative to the accounts have been
for the most part destroyed. Fortunately, however,
there are dupli:ates of them in the Ministerial de-
partments. The buildings are insured for 100,000
francs, and the furniture for 70,000 francs.
The rich tapestry, an imitation of the Gobelins, which
adorned the Council Chamber, the fine mirrors, and a
:treat part of the furniture of the apartments of Mr.
Fallow, were carried into the garden of the hotel. A
great part of the furniture was damaged by the precipi-
tation with which it was removed. The upper stories of
the Hotel, of the Court of Accounts were completely
ruined by the fire. All the floors fell in, except that of
the secretary's office, on the first story. There
was no money or notes belonging to the Go-
vernment, so that in this respect no damage
is done, but many of the officers had in their
desks, sums more or less considerable in money and bank
notes, which were destroyed. Many of the subaltern
officers of the School of Equitation, who lodged in the
building where the fire first broke out, have also lost
both their clothes and their fire-arms, while there was
no time to remove the small amount of their savings.
The registers and useful papers will be removed to the
Rue Ducate, which has just been hired by the Govern-
ment for the offices of the Court of Accounts, while a
new building is erected on the same site.
As for the archives, which are of no value, they will be
sold as waste paper. The establishment of M. Odsemeer was
insured for the sum of 10,000 marks, by the company,
called Securities of Antwerp. Another company had
i nsuredso,ooo francs on the beer which was destroyed.
To-morrow, on occasion of the opening of the Cham-
bers, there is to be a grand dinner at Court.
We know positively that the second report addressed
by M. Desart to the Ministers of Public Works, relative
,o the railway from Brussels to Ghent, has just been sent
,o the press.

GOVERNESSES' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Yes-
terday a general meeting of subscribers to the above in-
stitution, for affording temporary assistance or perma-
nent annuities to aged and distressed governesses, was
held at the Hanover-square Rooms, for the purpose of
electing three annuitants from a list of 77 candidates.
The chair having been taken by Lord Ashley, it was
announced that the committee were enabled to propose
three candidates for election, instead of two, through the
kindness of a gentleman, who had engaged to raise 3001.
towards the expenses of a third annuity. A lady had
also offered to give 501. to meet nine other donations of
the same amount, to found a fourth annuity. The last
report stated that during the year the committee had
received no fewer than 300 applications for temporary
relief, of which 253 had been entertained. The Dowager
Lady Grey, an early friend of the society, had made a
suggestion, which the committee had readily adopted.
The number of governesses in the country was assumed
to be 15,000, and by circulating shilling receipts through
lady collectors, an opportunity was offered to governesses
to show their own interest in the institution by founding
an annuity by the mere gift of an annual
Scrutineers having been appointed, the election took
place, after which the meeting separated.
DEATH FROM CUTTING THE TOE-NAILS.—One day
last week, as Ebenezer Harris, Esq., who was many
years a partner in the firm of Richard Hunt and Co.,
iron merchants, Bristol, and was well known as a com-
mercial traveller in the western counties and South
Wales, was cutting his toe-nails he let the knife slip,
which produced blood; mortification and lock jaw en-
sued, and he died at his residence in Bristol, on SaLur-
day last. Mr. Harris was in his fifty-fourth year.
Very few men were more beloved or respected than Mr.
Harris; not only his commercial friends, but those who
had the pleasure of his acquaintance, will sustain a loss
that will be only equalled by their deep regret.— West

DEATH OF ADMIRAL OF THE RED, PHILIP STEPHENS,
ESQ.—The London Gazette announcing the general pro-
motion, and including in it that'of Admiral of the White,
I.3tiilip Stephens, Esq., to be Admiral of the Red Squa-
dron, had only been published a few hours when the in-
telligence has reached us of the above gallant officer's
decease at Little Plumstead Hall. Admit al Stephens
was a Lieutenant in June, 1792, and his promotion was
as rapid as Sir E. Codrington's, for he was made a com-
mander in March, 1794, and Captain in October the
same year. He obtained his flag-rank of Rear-Admiral
in December, 1813, Vice Admiral in July, 1821, and
Admiral in 1847. Fur many years he held the civil
appointment of Deputy-Lieutenant of the county of
N orf, lk.
By the Gallant Admiral's decease another promotion
will take place among the flag officers, viz , Frederick
Watkins will be promoted from the White to the Red
Squadron, being now the 10th Admiral on the list ; Sir
John West, Commander-in-Chief at Devonport, will
hoist the white at the main on board the Queen, 110, in-
stead of the blue ; Vice-Admiral of the Red Sir Henry
Heathcote will be promoted to the rank of Admiral of
the Blue, being the 20th flag officer on the list ; Vice-
Admiral of the White Bendall Robert Littlehales to the
Red Squadron ; Vice-Admiral of the Blue Sir Charles
Dashwood will be promoted to the White ; and Rear-
Admiral of the Red Charles Carter will be promoted to
be Vice-Admiral of the Blue Squadron, being the 75th
on the list of flag officers, and the 45th on the list of Vice-
Admirals.
In the extract from the London Gazette of Tuesday
we find that 14 of the senior Rear-Admirals were pro-
moted to the rank of Vice-Admiral, which left four on
the list of Rear-Admirals of the Red. It appears, how-
ever, that the Gazette has only promoted 20 Rear-Admi-
rals of the White to the Red, making 24 instead of 25.
Rear-Admiral of the White Archibald Duff should have
been included in the promotion to the White, Rear-
Admiral of the Red Edward Walpole Browne having
died on the 15th October. By the Admiralty circular of
August 31st last the number of Rear-Admirals was to
be fixed at " 75, or 25 of each squadron;" but the general
promotion having added 20 Rear- Admirals to the list
(then 76), and taken 14 from it for Vice-Admirals, there
remained 82, or seven above the permanent number.
Adding, however, Rear-Admiral Duff to the Red from
the White (omitted in the Gazette), and now, by the
death of Admiral Stephens, promoting Rear -Admiral of
the White the lion. Donald Hugh Mackay to the Red
squadron, being the 100th flag officer on the list, and
then promoting Rear-Admiral Inglefield, C. 8., of the
Blue, to the White, vice Duff, and Rear-Admiral Sir
Wm. A. Montagu, C. 8., K.C.H., from the Blue to the
White, vice Mackay, we shall then have 81 Rear-Admi-
rals of the Blue squadron, or six above the permanent
number.
THE CAPTAINS' GOOD SERVICE PENSIONS.—We gave
on Tuesday several officers who had been mentioned as
successors to the good service pensions relinquished by
the captains promoted to the rank of rear-admiral. We
have reason to believe that, although virtually deter-
mined on, the names of the captains on whom the good
service pensions are to be bestowed will not be officially
published for some days.
Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Collier, C. 8., K.C.H., has
hauled down his broad pendant as Commodore Super-
intendent at Woolwich Dockyard, but not for the pur-
pose of being succeeded by Captain Houston Stewart,
C.B. He will hoist his flag (blue at the wizen) on board
the William and Mary, as rear-admiral superintendent,
until the arrival of Commodore Sir J. J. Gordon
Bremer, K.C.8., K.C.H., who has his broad pendant
flying on board the Trafalgar, 120, Captain J. N. Nott,
at Lisbon, as second in command of the Channel squadron,
who has been appointed Commodore Superintendent of
Woolwich Dockyard, vice Collier, promoted. Sir G.
Bremer is a captain of 1814, and is now 3351 from the
top of the list.
Captain Houston Stewart, C.B. (1817), the 59th captain
on the list, recently Acting Superintendent of Woolwich
Dockyard, in the absence of Sir F. Collier, has been ap-
pointed Comptroller of the Coast Guard, in the room
of Rear-Admiral Phipps Hornby, C. 8., promoted on
Monday.
It will be seen that the report of the appointment of
Captain Ellice to be comptroller of the coast ituard was
unfounded. That of the re-appointment of Captain Sir
J. Hill (1815), on the expiration of his command at
Deptford, December 11, 1846, to be captain superin-
tendent of the victualling establishment and the dock-
yard must be equally fallacious. Sir John has had
several successive lucrative shore appointments, and will
doubtless, now remain on half-pay until he gets his
flag rank, to which he will naturally succeed in a very
short time.
Captain Frederick Huttcn (1844), a lieutenant of
1825 and a commander of 1838, who was lieutenant of
the Tees during the Burmese war, was also first lieute-
nant of the Magicienne, with Captain PlumriAgteo the
