REGENERATOR.
If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an lie.
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn fram aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
hary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in.his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
Herlsary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Timas" newspaper, 7th
of August, 184 G.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two
postage stamps.
Tke Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. Gd., 7s. Sd., or las., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The I Is. size contains four of the 4s.
A few el' its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for n few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same)'? tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye iinuff and because it cured
Ophthalmia, flutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Ileadaeli, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cues of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of
oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by llerries, ',sq., to
Mr. William Griinstone, bearing date Mk February, I 525. This was
on account cf its curative qualities, being sold at that time is canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.

fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering Nan their Invaa labia con-
sequence, unwisely entertain, a tear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the roach of

alone it can be procured. Dr. Las his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his

BiamilicHAM, FEB. 21.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets on the 16th, the sales effected in wheat were 6d to
Is per quarter over the rates of that day se'nnight, but there
was no life in the trade. Barley without improvement, either
in price or ;demand. Oats move rather slowly at our quota-
tions. We had very little inquiry for beans or peas. During
the present week the transactions in wheat have again been li-
mited. On what has changed hands, the turn was in favour of
the seller, little being offered by the farmers. Barley of all
kinds continue difficult to dispose of. Oats in slow request,
but maintained their value. Not much inquiry for beans or
peas, and both were rather lower. A t this day's market there
was a fair supply:of English wheat, and except in few instances,
for prime qualities, no advance could be obtained. Barley
was held with mere firmness. Oats nominally unaltered.
Oilly retail sales reported in either beans or peas.
BRISTOL, FEB. 21.—English wheat this week has been in
moderate supply, and last week's rates have been fully main-
tained. Foreign is not cheaper, but the inquiry is still very
languid. At this day's market, English new wheat fetched
from 36s to 42s per imperial quarter; foreign white, 44s to
48s per 4801 b ; ditto,red, fine qualities, 40s to 43 ; ditto ditto,
ordinary ditto, 37s to 40s ; ditto, hard, 35s to 38s. Flour re-
mains without improvement—English seconds, 27s to 29a per
sack ; American, &c., sweet, 23s to 24s per barrel. Fine
malting barley is in better request, and rather dearer, but
grinding barley, oats, beans, &c., continue very dull, with the
turn in favour of buyers; barley (English malting), 24s to
28s per imperial quarter; ditto, and foreign grinding, 19s to
21s per 4001 b.; oats (Devon and Welsh), 15s to 16s per im-
perial quarter ; Irish, white, 17s to 185 per 3201 b.; ditto,
black, 15s 6d to 16s per imperial quarter ; foreign, none ;
beans ( English), 27s to 303 per imperial quarter ; foreign,
23s to 28s per 4801 b.

32s to 345, seed 26s ; spring tares, 32s to 36s per qr.
GLASGOW, FEB. 20.—The foreign arrivals comprised only
about 300 quarters of wheat, 149 sacks and 1,764 barrels of
flour ; from Ireland the supplies continue unimportant, espe-
cially of oatmeal, hitherto the staple export, wheaten flour,
owing to its comparatively moderate price, supplanting gra-
dually its place. Coastwise we received fair additions to our
stock, including two small cargoes of wheat from Boston and
Wisbeach, which quickly realised full terms. No foreign
arrivals reached Grangemoutk. There has been rather more
animation among buyers, and Wolgast wheat is reported as
being sold, " to arrive warranted sound," to a considerable ex-
tent at 20s to 21s per 2401bs delivered here ex-ship, duty paid.
This day's market was moderately well attended. Good sweet
wheat and flour sold pretty well in retail at last Wednesday's
currency. Barley, oats, and oatmeal were the turn cheaper.
Beans have to be written 3d to 6d lower per boll. Peas and

Indian corn without alteration.

GLASGOW, FEB. 20.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday,
The Minister of the Interior has addressed the fo.l

lowing circular, dated the 13th, to the prefects :
" Monsieur le Prefet,—The anniversary of the 24th
of February is consecrated by law. We cannot better
celebrLte it than by calling upon the Church to pray for
the citizens who fell in the conflict, and to invoke the
blessings of God upon the destinies of France. You will
be pleased to concert with the religious and military au
thorities fur the commemorative ceremony, which, like
that of the last year, will consist of a funeral service,
after which a 7'e Drum will be sung. The National
Guards and the army will be represented by deputations.
Yuu will be present in person, and you will convoke the
different public functionaries."
M. PERSIL, a former Cabinet Minister under
Louis Pnimarr, has announced himself as a can-
didate for the representation of Paris.
General DE LAMORICIERE is suffering from severe
illness, caused by the injuries he received from the mob
a few days since.
The Assembly still continues the discussion of the
Education Bill, and the differences between the parti-
pretre and the Ministry still continue unreconciled.
These differences will probably be widened when the
discussion on the Bill for erecting a monument to
Marshal NEY shall come on, as it is intended by
certain members of the Mountain to move that the
names of the Peers who condemned him to death shall
be inscribed on the monument. Among the names
will be found:several of those who are at present leaders
of the parti pretre, the miscalled party of "order."
The reactionary papers have for some days been
revelling in the supposed disclosures made in a book
called " Les Conspirateurs," written by a certain M.
CUENU, in which various accusations of luxury,
gluttony, and debauchery are brought against CAUS-
SIDIERE. Now whether CAUSSIDIERE were as de-
bauched as a Bourbon King (Louis XV. fur ex-
ample), or as pure as an icicle ; whether he drank as
hard as WILLIAM PITT, or were as temperate as
JOSEPH STURGE, during the period that he was Pre-
fect of Police, this fact is certain, that from February,
1848, to May, he, without troops, without gendar-
merie, without any of the usual means at his com-
mand which were at the command of his predecessors,
preserved the peace of Paris, and caused not only life
but property to be so respected, that during those
months there were fewer robberies, and fewer crimes
of any sort committed, than during any other four
months of the history or Paris. CAUSSIDIERE has
written a letter to the journals, from which we ex-
tract the following history of M. CRENU, the new
ally of the clerical party :
" Mr. Editor,—l take pleasure in believing that if
you had known the individual who had lent to his name
the libel entitled Les Conspirateurs,' you would have
refrained from making an analysis of the work. Chenu
scarcely knows how to read and write. Ho has been
condemned by default to eight years' hard labour at the
hulks, for robbery and assassination in his regiment ;
he is not the author of his book. He came to s, crete
himself in Paris, and on being discovered by the police
was sent to the bagne, because M. Pinel employed him
as secret agent provocateur, especially in the affair of the
fire-balls, in which he caused several persons to be im-
prisoned and condemned. I was obliged to drive him
from the Prefecture—hence his hatred, his menaces, and
even his attempts of assassination ana•nst me."
CAUSSIDIERE declares that the book has been got
up by certain chiefs of the " honest and moderate"
party, for the purpose of influencing the elections.

[ADvElizisEmExT.]---A lady cured of Asthma after

traordinary cures of asthma effected in that colony by the use
of these invaluable pills, and to one case in particular, that of
a lady residing near a hill named the "Razorback," who, after
having for twenty years been affected with great difficulty of
breathing' and unable in'eonsequenee to bear the slightest ex-
ertion, at last used this remedy, and is now, to use her awn

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGIIVEERS.

On Tuesday, February 19, (William Cubitt, Esq ,
President, in the chair), the paper read was as
" Description of the Iron Roof over the Railway
Station, Lime-street, Liverpool," by Mr. Richard
Turner. The area covered was described as being
374 feet in length, and 153 feet 6 inches 'in breadth,
which was roofed over in one span. The roof con-
sisted of a series of segmental girders, or principals,
fixed at intervals of 21 feet 6 :inches from centre to
centre; these were supported, one one side, upon the
walls of the offices, as far as they extended, and on
the other upon cast-iron columns. From the end of
the offices to the viaduct over Hotham-street, a dis-
tance of 60 feet 4 inches, the principals were carried
upon a " box beam" of wrought iron. The princi-
pals were trussed vertically, by a series of radiating
struts, which were made to act upon them, by strain-

trussed laterally by purlins and by diagonal bracing,
extending from the bottom of the radiating struts, to
the top of the corresponding strut, in the adjoining
girder ; these braces were connected with linking
plates by a bar Of the same scantling, and also with
the purlins already referred to. The girders were
thus firmly knitted together, and a rigid framework
formed, upon which the covering of galvanized cor-
rugated iron and glass was laid.
