[ADVERTISEM ENT.] —BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S
GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off,
the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the bead, is the use
of the two abode-named articles, applied alternately—the bo-
tanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant,
and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence
was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and
preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used,
and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame-
rican Indians, would be a .sufficient answer. Ross and Sons,
119, and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first introduced the use
of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the ani-
mals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with
their.names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are
their obtaining a spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to
the hair are worse than useless.
CLERICEN WELL SCHOOLS FOR RAGGED CHILDREN.—
The first annual meeting of the Clerkenwell Sundays Schools for Poor
Ragged Children, was held last evening in the parochial shool-rooms
in Amwell-street. The chair was taken at six o'clock by the Right
Hon. Lord Ashley. There was also present on the platform the Rev.
Hugh Hughes, rector of St. John's, Clerkenwell, the president of the
school, the Rev. Mr. Faulkner, rector of St. James's, Clerkenwell,
the Rev. Mr. Blacklron, a Dissenting minister, and Mr. Debenham,
and other' gentlemen, who have taken an active part in the establish-
ment of the school. An • appropriate prayer having been said, the
business of the evening was commenced by the reading of the report,
which having been adopted, a series of resolutions, calculated to carry
out the views of the supporters of the school, were passed. Ths
meeting was addressed by the Noble Lord in the chair, who expressed
his readiness to co-operate in the objects of the meeting, and by the
clergymen and gentlemen above mentioned, all of whom urged most
forcibly on their auditors the necessity and importance of giving in-
struction to the children of those classes by which the district in
which they were assembled was crowded. In the course of the pro-
ceedings two appropriate hymns were sung by the children, and a
selection of sacred music performed by several professional ladies
and gentlemen present. The meeting, which consisted of a vast
number of very respectable persons, did not break up for several
hours.

THE LATE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN DRURY-

ROMAN CATHOLIC INSTlTUTE.—Yesterday the an-
nual meeting of the members of this institute was held at the Free-
masons' Tavern, the Right Rev. Dr. Briggs, Vicar Apostolic of the
northern district, in the chair. Lord Arundel, the Hon. Charles
Langdale, D. O'Connell, Esq., M.P., &c., were present. Mr. Smith,
the secretary, read the report, which stated that the objects of the
Institute included the education of Roman Catholic children, of whom
25,000 were deprived of that blessing, and also the protection of the
Roman Catholic body from persecution. According to the report the
receipts for the past year for educational purposes were 1,534/. 2s, 5d ,
and for the general objects of the institute, 1,232/. 9s. 3d., making 'a
total of 2,7661. 11s. Bd. Upon the motion of the Hon. Charles Lang-
dale, the report was adopted. Mr. O'Connell, Lord Arundel, and
several Roman Catholic clergymen having addressed the meeting, the
officers for the ensuing year were elected, after which, and a vote of
thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated.
NOVEL CHARGE AGAINST A MILITARY OFFICER.—
At the County Magistrates' Office, Rochester, on Monday, a charge
of wilfhl damage was brought against Captain Faunce, of the 4th
Queen's Own Regiment, for having broken open a door at the house
of John Leith, of Wood-street, Brompton. The Captain had occupied
apartments at the complainant's house, and in consequence of words
between his servants and Mrs. Leith, she gave him notice to quit,
notwithstanding she knew he was ordered out to India in the course
of ten days. The Captain and his lady quitted the lodgings ac-
cordingly, at considerable inconvenience to themselves. He after-
wards went to the house for some bathing-tins which had been lett
behind, and after ringing twice at the door-bell without obtaining ad-
mittance, he forced it open, and for this he was brought before the
magistrates ; the damage done to the lock and staple being laid at
Is.. Mrs. Leith, it appeared, had locked the door to prevent his en-
trance, on the plea that rent amounting to 3/. 15s. remained unpaid,
and the therefore detained the tins. She afterwards admitted that
the rent had always been regularly paid, and that Captain Faunce
had tendered the arrears to her more than once, and which she had
refused to accept. The Captain admitted the charge, and was ad-
judged to pay a line of Is., the estimated damage, and 12s. costs ;
and as she had refused to take the rent, he declared his intention of
giving it to some public charity.
DEATH ACCELERATED BY EXCITEMENT.—Tuesday
evening an inquest was held before Mr. W. Payne, City Coroner, at
the Hand and Shears, Cloth-fair, Smithfield, respetting the death of
Elinor Shore, aged fifty-one years, of Long-lane, Barbican. The
deceased generally enjoyed good health, but during the last three
months had laboured under great excitement in consequence of her
daughter, who had been decoyed away by a young man wish 3% hum

THE BREVET.—We understand from very high autho-
rity, that a brevet in the army and navy will very shortly be an-
nounced, and at the period at which we are to look for it will be the
auspicious day of her Majesty's accouchement. It is stated in a
circle most likely to be well informed that a brevet would have been
given last year, had not the expense of the Navy and Ordnance
Department been so great as to check the announcement of it at
that time.

POLICE OFFICER KILLED.—On Saturday evening last,
William Sommerville, one of the policemen on the Caledonian Rail-
way, was killed in the most barbarous manner, near Lockerbie, by
the railway labourers.parltt

ceased and other officers were called upon to quell the uproar, who,
were kicked and beaten in the most violent
and brutal manner, by the mob, who were mostly Irishmen. The
treatment
'which Sommerville received from thr, e of them was most
savage. He was stabbed on his body with some sharp-edged instru-
ment, his nose was split in two, and so was one of his cheeks, while
one of his eyes was burst, and rolled out of its socket. He expired
soon afterwards. The three murderers effected their escape, but the
police are in pursuit of tnem in all directions.
POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—On Tuesday a notice was
posted at the chief office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, announcing that the
next mails for India, China, Egypt, Gibraltar, Malta, Greece, and
the lonia'a Islands, via Southampton, will be dispatched on the
evening of the Id of May ; and via Marseilles, on the evening of the
7th of May.
SUDDEN DEATHS.—Yesterday Mr. Baker held two
inquests, one at the Star and Garter, Arbour-square, Stepney, and
the. other at the London Hospital, on the bodies of Henry Ephraim
Hubble, aged thirty-one, and George Marshall, aged fifty. It ap-
peared in the first case that Hubble was landlord of the Star And
Garter. Several years ago, while in Calcutta, he had an attack of
insanity caused by excessive drinking. On Easter Monday the poi
