TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weeklcy, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity 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 it about tour months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
t ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weeklcy inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an lls. 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 abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far
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 ou the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair frcm 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 brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic 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 Quarter r
on the crown of the heal ; if v,ry 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

THE CORONER TO T. 1,1
" Sir„—At an inquest held bme on the
Howe, 3d and 4th
the
instant on view of the body
jury returned the follawing verdict:—` We find that
ofElizabeth
she having
Elizsbeth Howe died of rheumatic fever, cautsheedbya
violent cold caught at the Spinning-house, on
night
of the 6th of November ,• been
K i conveyed
ngsley,
thither in the custody of William Towler
proctor of the University, and con
fined for that night
in a cold and damp cell, from the effects of
expressing
hhe
died. The jury cannot separate without
their abhorrence of a system which sanctions the ap-
prehension of females when not offending against the
general law of the land, and confining them in a gaol
unfit for the worst of felons. The jury also request the
Coroner to forward the whole of the proceedings to the
Secretary of State for the Home Department.
In accordance with the request of the jury, I here-
with forward copies of the depositions taken at the
inquest.
" I beg leave to state, that I entirely concur in the
sentiments expressed by the jury.
" I entertained considerable doubts as to the power
claimed by the proctors of the University to apprehend,
without warrant, prostitutes who are not guilty of dis-
orderly or indecent conduct; especially as the University
of Cambridge is not mentioned in the third section of
the 6th George IV., cap. 97; but, as the power in ques-
tion has been exercised for a long period, I did not feel
myself warranted in directing the jury that the impri-
sonment of the deceased was clearly illegal.
" I beg leave to call your attention to the fact that the
keeper of Hobson's Workhouse, commonly called the
Spinning-house, is allowed to sell provisions to the pri-
soner's under his charge.
" If it should appear to you that the state of this
prison requires further investigation, I shall be glad to
give any assistance in my power. I have the honour to
be, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" C. H. COOPZR,
" Coroner of the Borough of Cambridge.
" The Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department."
THE HOME SECRETARY'S REPLY.
" Whitehall, Dec. 10,1846.
" Sir —I am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 7th instant,
informing him of the verdict of a jury,on an inquest held
by you as Coroner, in the case of Elizabeth Howe, lately
deceased ; transmitting also, by the request of the jury,
copies of the depositions taken at the inquest. You have
further communicated to Sir George Grey the sentiments
of the jury expressed on that occasion, with reference
both to the practice of apprehending females not offend-
ing against the general law a the land, and to the unfit
state of the prison in which they are confined.
" Sir George Grey directs me to inform you, in reply,
that the several particulars to which you have called his
attention will be carefully considered by him, and he will
make an early communication upon the subject to the
Vice-Chancellor.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,
" S. M. PHILLIPS.
" To the Coroner of the borough of Cambridge."

The following letter on the subject appears in the
Cambridge Independent Press :
"To the Editor.—Sir,—ln reference to the recent in-
quest upon the body of the unfortunate girl Howe, re-
ported in your paper, may I, in justice to the keeper of
the Spinning-house, be allowed through your favour to
publish the following facts : At the commencement of
term, I, as the medical officer, called to see that the
wards and cells were prepared for inmates. I found the
whole of the interior had been recently whitewashed,
fires were lighted in the day-rwnis, and the beds giriog
before them.
