r A
tiDVERTISEMENT.I—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S
GREASE.-When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off,
the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use
of the two above-named articles, applied alternately—the bo-
tanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant,
and the tear's grease as a nourishes. 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
alnndila2ns: would be a sufficient answer. Ross and Sons,
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

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, May 12.
Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.
The Earl of SHAFTE sBURY presented a petition from
the authorities of Winchester College praying their Lordships
to exempt that institution from the provisions of the Bill.
LOCAL BURDENS.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented reports which, on his
motion, were referred to the Committee on Local Burdens.
A BISHOP aIC FOR MANCHESTER.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the
Church Lay Society of Bath, very numerously and respectably
signed, praying their Lordships to form a new bishopric for
the town of Manchester and the adjacent districts. He thought
he need hardly say that he entirely agreed in the prayer of the
petition, and could see no argument why their Lordships should
not accede to it.
FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition, numerously signed
by members of the Free Church of Scotland, praying their
Lordships to pass some measure to enable the members of that
church to obtain sites for the erection of places of public wor-
ship. He wi,hed, however, to take that opportunity
to say that information had reached him that members
of the Free Church of Scotland had behaved unreasonably, and
had nut been contented with the sites which had been assigned
to them, and which would have answered their purpose, and
had insisted upon having other sites assigned to them with no
other object than to aanuy the members of the Established
Church. But if a landowner refused to allow a site for the
erection of a place of worship for a considerable number of
those on his property who professed the doctrines of the
Free Church, that, in his opinion, would be an
abuse of the rights of property, and their Lordships would be per-
fectly justified in passing a measure to enable those persons to ob-
tain sites by fairly remunerating the proprietors of the land.
The Duke of RICHMOND considered that, where a land-
owner held the whole of the parish, he should give a central
site for the purpose of building churches. He hoped to see the
unpleasant differences between the free church and the old
church healed. These churches would then make good preach-
ing stations for the old church.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Barnet against
the Charitable Trusts Bill.
Lord MONTEAGLE also presented a petition from the
congregation of York-street Chapel, Walworth, against the
Bill.
Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the trustees of
the Wesleyan Chapel in Birmingham of a similar nature.
RAILWAY COMPANIES.
Lord MONTEAGLE moved for returns of the amount of
capital proposed to be raised by railway companies in the pre- '
sent session.
