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
i 3 most agreeably perfumed; whilst it is thus freed from all the
thick, fatty, and adhesive matter, it retains all the stimulating and
lubricwing properties of the parent oil, and, unlike all other oils,
bear's grease, pornatums, &c., does not possess that excessive greasi-
ness 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
—hence 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 Castorine Oil is prepared and sold by J. Bradley, chemist, 10,
Pont-street, Belgrave-square, and to be had of his agents, Sanger,
150, Oxford-street , Binniegton, 35, Haymarket; Jones, 34, Tavi-
-68, Cornhill ; and most re-
the kingdom, in bottles at
stock-place ; Barclay and Sons, 95, Farringdon-street ; Edwards,

EASTERN INSTITUTION, COM-
MERCIAL-ROAD.

A grand vocal and instrumental concert was given on
Tuesday evening, in the great hall of this Institution,
which is one of the best adapted rooms for musical en-
tertainments in the metropolis, and was completely
crowded by a fashionable and judicious audience. The
programme was rich and varied, and the selection did
great credit to Mr. Lee, whose own performances during
the evening proved his admirable fitness for the office
which he holds in the establishment, as director of the
vocal music class. Of his fair and gifted coadjutors on
the present occasion, Miss Rainforth, Miss Dolby, and
the Misses A. and M. Williams, whose charming powers
are already well appreciated by the public, and gave the
greatest brilliancy to this concert, it will be superfluous
here to offer any elaborate praise, but it is barely justice
to mention that the gem of the evening was Haydn's
canzonet by Miss M. Williams, the words from Shalt
spere—

" She never told her love—
But let concealment, like a Worm e the bud,
Feed on her damask cheek—
She sat like patience on a monument,
Smilling at grief."
Her sweet, clear, full, mellow treble, in somo tones de-
scending to the tenor, and the very rare purity of her
style, are admirably adapted to give the finest effect to
the combined morceaux of the two masters. The gen-
tlemen whose talents contributed to the eclat were, Mr.
Lockey, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Seguin. They acquitted
themselves to perfection, and were much applauded.—
Mr. Cohan produced a new fantasia on the pianoforte,
one of his most masterly compositions, in the perform-
ance of which he displayed powers of execution equalled
by few, if any, of the masters of that instrument. The
theme of the fantasia is " The Huntsman's Chorus,
(Der Freischutz), with which, in the variations, the ce-
lebrated waltz from the same opera is combined in har-
mony with extraordinary skill. It is a masterpiece of
counterpoint. Being encored Mr. Cohan substituted
another new fantasia of hisown, on the "Carniva
l
of
Venice," of equal brilliancy, but of less length. Both
pieces were rapturously applauded. Mr. Macfarlane's
performances on the cornet-a-piston, and Mr. Dando's
on the violin, also elicited great and merited applause.
Mr. L. Emanuel, late of Vauxhall Gardens, who is already
appreciated by the public for his merit as a conductor,
presided at the pianoforte, and adequately sustained his
previous requtation.

SPEEDY APPREHENSION 0
COWAP, THE COLLIERY CLERK.
Considerable excitement has been occasioned in the
county of Durham, by the absconding of W. H. Cowap.
the clerk of Lord Ilowdenfs colliery,
which is situated
near Hartlepool. On inquiry the following particulars
have been obtained from the most authentic sources
relative to his strange and culpable conduct. It appears
that on Friday, the 23d October, Cowap received, as
usual, a cheque for the colliery pay, and proceeded to
Sunderland the same morning.
He got the cheque
cashed at the Branch Bank of the Northumbeland and
Durham District Banking Compaq,
the colliery
bankers, and received the amount, about 7001., chiefly in
gold and silver, but did not return to the colliery, and
much surprise was occasioned by the circumstance. On
investigation being made, it appeared that after getting
a of mustacheos, the money, he had, at Sunderland, purchased a g
chain and a ring at a jeweller's—pair old
im-
perial, and wig, at the shop of Mr. Whitelaw, a hair-
dresser, whom he also employed to cut his hair short ;
an amusing book, to beguile the tedium of a journey, at
a bookseller's, and then obtained a ticket at the Monk-
wearmouth station of the York and Newcastle Railway
or Leeds. Inquiry being telegraphed to Leeds, as to
sypoerekd, ilyaardeceaiv on being
bei he
ng
searchedwhether a Sundeland ticket had been received at that
faoncer, itpursued
was
as-
certained that ho had been at a house of ill-fame,
place on the Friday, and the answer "No 1" being
was
at
living in a reckless manner, and had departed in com-
pany with a young woman fur Hull. On the arrival
of his pursuers at that port, they learned that he
had sailed for Antwerp only about an hour before they
reached the place. To Antwerp they proceeded in
quest of him, and oa their arrival, had the satisfaction
to find that from the prompt measures taken by his
noble employer, be was already arrested by the autho-
rities in Belgium, as will appear from the extract below,
from a Belgian paper, and may shortly be expected in
this country. Cowap had only been a short time at the
colliery, and it need hardly be stated that he was highly
recommended for the situation by respectable parties,
thereby causing. the fullest confidence to be placed in his
integrity. On inquiry, however, it now appears that his
past and present conduct did not warrant these recom-
mendations, which have involved the parties who gave
them in a justly painful censure, and heavy responsi•
bility, for which they should be held accountable as an
example to others.
(Extract from a Belgium paper.)
