ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL.
It may with truth bo averred, that ROWLANDS' MACAS-
SAR OIL has enjoyed an extent of patronage and public favour dar-
ing the last half century which is totally unexampled in the annals
of felicitous discovery. The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amal-
gamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly ro-
nowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues in nourish-
ing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates
its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair
in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandruff, accelerates
its growth, sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of
healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest
period of human life. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and
Mustachols, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operations. For Chil-
dren it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a Beau-
tiful Head of Hair, and rendering the use of the fins comb unne-

COSSary.
Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of
her Majesty the Queen, the Court. aad the whole of the Royal Family
of Great Britain, an of every Court of the civilise& V! VI , the
high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous
Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and
surest proofs of its merits.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] A DREADFUL AESCUS
UNDER TUB CHIN CURED EY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
AND PlLLS.—Robert Davidson, shoemaker, of An-
struther, had suffered for more than five years with a
very dreadful abscess under his chin. During this time
he bad been under the care of two surgeons in Anstru-
ther, and one in Edinburgh, without the least prospect of
a cure ; in this miserable condition he began to use
flolloway's Ointment and Pills, which in the short space
of two months soundly healed the wound, and he is now
enjoying the best of health. These fine medicines are
admirable remedies for King's evil, wounds of all kinds,
burns, scalds, piles, fistula, and bearings down. Sold
by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL .NEWS..
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was less
firm, prices of all kinds being in favour of bnyers.
Sales 4,000 bales, American beir.g 40. to 6d. per lb.
Railway Shares have been better supported, but thou
was very little doing.
Accounts have come to hand dated the IGth by the!
Mediator from New York, but the letters are much the;
same in tenour as those already received. The Wash-
ington steamer from New York brings dates of February
20, but as she only reached Southampton at half-past
eleven this morning, the papers are not yet in town.
The moneyed and mercantile men of the City, and
we doubt not also of the country at large, are looking
with intense anxiety to the progress of political events
abroad, as affording some clue to their future proceed-
ings, and it would appear, from the opportunity of
judging which we possess, and from the conversation we
bare held with many influential parties, that it is
regarded as being by no means expedient just now to
enter into operations connected with the Continent..
Great political changes must, it is held, take place from
north to south in Europe; and although the effect
ultimately, we may confidently hope, will be to
place the institutions of the various countries upon
a liberal and more enduring basis, the resist-
ance which is at first likely to be shown must
unhinge confidence. The Continent is much more vul-
nerable than England, and for a time, at least, we may
expect the latter, by persevering in a wise and firm
neutrality to become the favoured country for the de-
posit of the surplus and unemployed capital of surround-
ing nations. Indeed, it is the opinion of many that even
a continental war would be in no way prejudicial to us,
provided we act as did the United States of old, let ethers'
fight while we trade.
The Paris bankers, Messrs. Gouin have suspended,
and at Amsterdam, among the firms in difficulties, aro
Westendorp and Co., Mendes de Leon and Co., Thors,
Swarth, and Scheliwald, and one or two others, mostly
connected with Stock Exchange and bill transactions.
The purchases of stock by the public generally have
not been materially checked by the news of the retire-
ment of M. Godechaux, Ow French Minister of Finance,
but speculators have sold upon it, and a few holders have
followed their example. Consols opened at 8211—a
fall of to per cent. upon the highest values paid
yesterday atter the close of the Stock Exchange—the
riots at Glasgow, and the feeling against the income tax
having pore to do with the decline, perhaps, than the
foreign intelligence received. At present Consols are
81i to 82f. Tho Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities
have been 82f to 82k. Bank Stock has realised 191 to
194. Exchequer-bills have risen to 255. and 30s. pre-
mium

.1e Foreign Stock Market is rather lively again, but
buyers are met still rather ..'reely by sellers. Spanish
Five per Cents. are quoted 13 to 131-, and the Three per
Cents. 24 to 241. Mexican bonds have realised
141; to 151. Chilien bonds have been 89 to 90
Russian Stock has been at 97. The official Stock Ex-
change list yesterday morning, erroneously quoted them
93. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have fluctuated
from 421 to 44.
In the Railway Share Market a fair business has been
done, and the quotations of the English lines are
tolerably well supported. French Shares are, however,
again lower.

STRAND THEATRE.—On Thursday evening last a
benefit took place at this pretty theatre in aid of the
funds of the Free Hospital for Women and Children in
North Andley-street, an institution which, though young
in foundation, has done an immensity of good in its
neighbourhood to poor suffering humanity. It is in the
most extended sense of the term a free hospital, neither
letter nor recommendation being required to gain ad-
mission, illness being the passport to the blessings of the
charity. Magnificently as this great country is adorned
with charitable institutions of all kinds, none deserve
b, tour to pa, cieivate in the sums annually bequeathed to
relieve the sufferings of the humble or to sooth affliction.
The performances commenced with the Country Squire,
a drama too well known to need further comment
than to say, the character of the Squire was well sus-
tained by Rogerson, Horace Selwood found a capital
representative in Mr. Payne, as did the part of Sparrow
in Mr. Oxberry. Miss Love, as Fanny, was admirable,
and in her description of the chase, hunting, and shoot-
ing, frequently reminded us of Mrs. Nisbett, as Lady
Gay Spanker, in London Assurance. Some beautiful
dancing by Mdlle. L. Blanche and a concert followed, in
which Misses Ransford, Nelson, O'Connor, mid Mr.
Ransford took part. Wilk's clever farce of the Captain's
Not a Miss succeeded, in which Mr. Laws sustained the
character of Captain Daring excellently. Miss Jane
Coleman, as Fanny, disguised as the tiger, John Stock,
acted to admiration—she looked the very spirit of in-
trigue and mischief in top boots. Miss E. Terry, as
Mary, sustained the character with her usual excellence
and espiegle. Oxberry's clever burlesques of Lucy of
Lammermoor closed the evening's:entertainments. We
trust the funds of the charity will be greatly benefited
by the receipts of the evening. The house was crowded.
We understand the Daughter of the Regiment is to be
the opening opera at this theatre on Tuesday next, for
which Miss Poole, Mrs. King, Mr. Bornmii, Mr. King,
and an effective chorus, under the zrection of Mr.
Tully, has been engaged, a sufficient guarantee that the
different novelties will be produced in a style of first-rate
excellence.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOClrrY.—The annual genera_
meeting, and 26th electic•,. of this society, was held
yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of
transacting the usual business, and electing eight pen-
sioners on the geneyal funds, and the candidate ninth
on the poll to ..he Whittingham pension—Richard
Taylor, Esq., in the chair. Mr. Hodson, the secretary,
read the report, which stated that, notwithstanding the
late depression is the printing business, the annual sub-
scriptions wore but a. few pounds short of the previous
year. After the last election the number of pensioners
was raised to fifty-five, of whom twelve died during
the year, the benefit received by them varying from six
months to nineteen years, and that the subscriptions had
not only been equal to the pensions, but left a surplus of
201. As regarded the anniversary dinner, the report
stated, that Luke Hansard, Esq., had presided, and on
this occasion it was announced that his Royal Highness
Prince Albert had consented to become the
patron of the society, and had accompanied
this consent with a donation of 251. The Chairman
had also given an additional contribution of 501.,
making the entire amount of his subscription 180/.
The report next alluded, in highly flattering terms, to
the exertions of Lord Dudley Swept, is.r., i.. Imlnilf of
this society, who handed in at the dinner 361. from a few
noble authoresses of his acquaintance, the total receipts
of the anniversary being 3301. 4s. The funded property
of the society had also been increased 2501., making the
total amount of funded property 5,0141. 4s. 6d. The
financial sheet showed the total receipts, with the
haav nidngordbeereend tel
ran acte
bes
balance of last year, to be 1,3761. ls. 9d.; and the ex-
penditure, 1,2601. 95.; .leaving a balance of 1171. 12s. 9d.
transacted, printed.
Some ererpoourttinwe
a receivedsbusiness
chairman announced the result of the poll for pensioners,
which was as follows: —Samuel Hedgoland, 5,017' -
John Case, 3,571; John Roue, 3,329; Thomas Reeves,
3,095.; Clarissa Friend, 3,085; Walter Hildyard, 2,579;
Jemima M. A. Bullock, 2,245; Elizabeth Campbell,
1,982; and Elizabeth Arnold, 1,682, the Whittingham
Pension. It was also announced that Mr. Brettell, late
of Rupert-street, had left a legacy of 1001., and Mr.
Wilson 101. to the funds of the society; and that the
Marquis of Northampton, President of the Royal
Society, had consented to take the chair at the next
anniversary meeting. The meeting was then dissolved.
THE IRISH POOR•LAW.—A letter from Lord John
Russell, received by the Chairman of the Danmanway
Union, upon the subject of the town-land rating, shows
that an inquiry is to be instituted to ascertain whether
1 any change can be beneficially made in the area of the
unions of electoral divisions.
Among the passengers by the West India steamer
Avon, which lett Southampton on Friday evening, were
M. llusson and e G neral Rostoland, deputed by the Pro-
visional Government at Paris to proclaim the Republic
in the French Antilles.
Yesterday the Lamb and Flag Ragged Schools,
Clerkenwell, were visited by the Bishops of Antigua
and Madras, accompanied by the Bishop of Norwich's
daughter. The visitors were highly gratified at the
manner in which the children acquitted themselves, and
both their Lordships highly commended all they saw.
" LYNCH LAW."—Mr. Baker, railway contractor
of Yeovil, on Friday last, observed a man steal a whip
from a gig in Mr. Thomas's yard, and quickly
following
the rogue he made him return his booty, and having dose
so gave him a good flogging with the very article he
would have stolen 1— Worcester Herald.
EARLY POTATOES.—On the 21st February, some
ash leaf kidney potatoes were raised by Mr. Daniel
Tombs, of Walnut Tree Cottage, near the town, which
were of excellent quality, and free from disease. Lot us
hope that the next crop will be one of abundance, both in
this country and unfortunate Ireland.—Monmouthshire
