FINE HEAD OF HAIR.
RowLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.
The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amalgamation of its
purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly renowned through-
out the world for its remarkable virtues in nourishing, preserving,
and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates its balsamic
properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair in its
embryo state, accelerates its growth, cleanses it from Scurf and
Dandriff, sustains it in maturity, and continues its pos-
session of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redun-
dancy, to the latest period of human life. Its operation in cases
of baldness is peculiarly active ; so that, in numerous instances
wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, ROWLANDS'
MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by re-in-
stating, *in full plenitude, the permanent gifts and graces of
nature. For children it is especially recommended, as forming the
basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the nse of the fine-
comb unnecessary.
Price 3s. 9d. and is. ; or Family Bottles (equal to four small) at
10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s.
CAUTION.—On the wrapper of each bottle of the genuine article
are these words, in two lines ItOWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL.

DR. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri-
vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by
a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which
Is so frequently overlooked. It is, therefore, of Importance that
every person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of
worms, which are disagreeable odour of the breath, fevered tongue,
particularly heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes,
swelling and paleness of the especially the upper lip, fre-
quent itching of the nose, an unequalled state of the pulse, appetite
very irregular, and the bowels al-o, pale and emaciated countenance,
and at ether times the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short,
cough, great thirst, vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of
the teeth, frequent pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of in-
clination to take exercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c., &c. These
are same of the general symptoms of being afflicted with worms ;
adults as well as children are subject thereto. Youth or age may
with the utmost safety have recourse to this old established medicine,
which is adopted by numerous families. It is with this view that
the serious attention of all afflicted persons is directed to the symp-

toms thus described, which arc produced by worms, and to a trial of
this safe and effectual remedy, the value of which is corroborated by
❑umerous testimonials through a long period of years.
This medicine may be administered with confidence to children
or the most debilitated adult, without restraint in diet or confine-
ment. Its efficacy is also particularly beneficial as an alterative
medicine, insensibly removing all impurities of the blood, &c., and
promoting a healthful vigour to the whole system.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229 Strand, London, whose name and ad-
dress observe on the Government stamp, also sold by and may be
procured from the dealers in medicines, at 2s. 9d., and for children
at Is. I4d. each box.

EYEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a
few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of
GRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC
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 11..
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bury, 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, Mercbaat,
flerbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, en receiving two
postage stamps.
.The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. ad., or 145., which in-
chutes the postage with the case.
The I Is. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a 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 Snuff ! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Ileadach, 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
cases 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 Herries, Fsq., to
Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account of 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.

lowing Testimonial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your
Eye Snuff in cases of Gutta Serena. I have used it in five cases with
the most astonishing benefit and cure. Sir, you may advertise this 1 1

The following letter, in testimony of its delightful qualities, is from
the author of tke " Pleasures of Home :"
" Springfield Cottage, Honiton, Devon, 15th August, 1848.
" Sir,—l cannot deny myself the pleasure of stating how highly I
esteem your Herb Tobacco. I have now found in it a substitute for
the choice leaf, hitherto obtained by me from a friend in Constanti-
nople. lam sure that lovers of mild, fragrant Tobacco would find
yours a great and acceptable gift, at a very reasonable price.

" STUART FARQUHARSON, D.C.L.

IStruggles of a Book," has established this beyond the
possibility of a question. But this is by no means its
only demerit. it checks the growth of manufacture
and the progress of commerce; it limits the. employ-
ment of labour and the exercise of invention ; and,
finally, it prevents the influx into the Exchequer
of a larger amount by much than that which
it raises by means so injurious to the public at large.
Of the duties on articles in general consumption
recommended for removal by Sir Henry Parnell's
Committee, the excise on paper is the only one
which remains. We have repeatedly had occasion to
show that the repeal of this tax would largely in-
crease production, to meet both the demands of the
home and of the foreign markets. The establish-
ment of new mills in the agricultural districts as
well as in towns would employ both infant and
adult labour to an extent little contemplated by those
who have not examined the question with the care to
which it is entitled. Increased employment would
necessarily give rise to increased consumption of other
exciseable articles, and thus feed the revenue. One
fact is worth a thousand arguments. Here are some
words extracted from a letter now before us, and
written by a most respectable and experienced paper
manufacturer in Scotland:—

"In regard to the Americans—first, they are now
supplying our colonies in their neighbourhood, where
we used to ship every spring 4,000 to 6,000 reams, a
considerable portion of which was " news ; " we now
do not ship e►en a ream. Canada is supplied almost
exclusively by the States. So much for free trade
there. 2d. They are (that is, the Americans) buying
up all the materials they can get in this market, as well
as Liverpool, Dublin, Sligo, Limerick, every where ;
and when once their screw ships are at work, every de-
scription of material -will go to them, and at a low
freight, and be so quickly delivered that the present risk
of fermentation from, long passages will be at an end.
This is not all. Oar best hands are leaving us, and go-
ing to the States ; they are getting higher wages, be-
cause, the trade being untramelled, they can afford to
give them.
" Two first-rate machine men sail from this to-mor-
row—engaged passage free, and agreed for twelve
months at seven dollars per week. There are also seve-
ral engineers going, and about ten of our men have gone
within the last two years. They are continually writing
home for more to go out to them. So you see how our
trade is going down in one or two ways. All our colo.
nies—even the East Indies—will, in a little time, be sup-
plied by the Americans, I do verily believe; and all this
may, m a great degree, be attributed to the trammels of
our fiscal regulations."
This picture is in nothing overdrawn. "It has been
computed," says an able pamphlet, " that the repeal
of the paper duty would give employment to 40,000
additional persons in London alone, besides a vast
number in the country ; and to these may be added
a considerable increase in the numbers employed in

the business of publishing and printing, including
folders, stitchers, bookbinders, kc., comprising chil-
dren and adults of both sexes."

" There are also," continues the same author,
" numerous manufactures, such as millboard, card-
board, papier. macho, buttons, ornaments, toys, &c.,
in which paper forms the principal ingredient,
and to these a still greater stimulus would be
given by the reduced cost of production adding im-
mensely to the employment of every description of
labour. If the consumption of paper be traced
through its various ramifications, and the number of
people which are employed upon it in other countries,
where the manufacture is not subject to duty, it is
almost impossible to conceive the vast amount of
labour which would be created by its application to
uses from which it is now only debarred by the duty,
so that the relief from this tax would materially aug
ment the national resources, and in this point of view
produce a greater amount of practical and positive
good than any other scheme which could by possi-
bility be devised."
Our remarks have extended to a length which
forbids our pursuing the subject further ; but we
trust we have in this, and in preceding articles, suc-
ceeded in showing that, besides the advantages which
the repeal of the paper-duty would share, in common
with the removal of any
excise impost, it has the
singular merit of supplying the very deficit which
its adoption would create. It is, therefore, a measure
which is entitled to the support of every one who
wishes to encourage the industry, the manufacture,
and the commerce of his country.

FRENCH PASSPORTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—It is quite well that the public delusion on
the subject of French passports should be done away
with, as it is very generally supposed that they are
not now required, or if they are, that there is no
charge for them ; but such is not the case, passports
are required as ever, and the charge is ss. for each
person. The French authorities do now grant what
is termed a permit, lasting a month, which gives
the party holding it freedom on entering and depart-
ing during that period, without further trouble or
expense, but through some mistake or blunder it is
departed from, and the permit is demanded upon
landing, and given up, which should not be. This will,
however, I trust and doubt not, soon be rectified, as
there is every desire at the office of the French Con-
sulate to facilitate matters, and I cannot conclude this
letter without offering my sincere thanks to the
French Consul and all connected with the office, as
well as to the French authorities generally, for their
uniform kindness and courtesy in facilitating my
arrangements for the conveyance of my countrymen
to their capital.
Whether it is judicious in the Government of the
French Republic to make the passport system, which
is for their own security, and not our convenience, a
matter of charge is another question, and one in
which Ido not interfere. It must in a certain degree
retard the freedom of intercourse between the two
nations, which it is so desirable to keep up. I feel
this to be so much the case that I invariably pay the
passports for all my passengers.
I fear I have trespassed too long upon your valu-
able space, and beg to remain, Sir, yours, &c.,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Your paper often contains a curious adver-
tisement, generally placed near the commencement of
the leading article, which appears to relate to lamps
or coalpits, but the meaning of which is totally
unintelligible to the profanum vulgus.
As some curiosity is felt as to the writer's
intentions in inserting such extraordinary effusions,
and so frequently, perhaps you would be kind enough
to get a translation of one of the advertisements from
the author, and insert it for the information of the
unlearned, and among them of
YOUR CONSTANT READER.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—A sad accident happened on
Tuesday night last at East Wheal Josiah (late Wheal
Crease), near Tavistock. Two men, Thomas Rodda and son,
were working in the shaft, when, in consequence of the casing
breaking, the ground gave way and buried them. The
father, who was extricated after seven hours, was much
braised; and Henry Rodda, the son, aged 19, was dug out
after remaining thirteen hours, but life was extinct.

FIRE IN MANcunaTEß.—Yesterday morning a
fire broke out in a cotton-waste warehouse, occupied by Mr.
Thomas Baxter, Cross-street. Before the fire could be ex-
tinguished the whole of the building was completely gutted.
'I he buildings connecting the warehouse were by the activity
of the fire brigade saved from any serious damage. The es-
timated loss is about 1,5001., which, we understand, will be
covered by insurance.

CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S EXPEDITION.—The Admiralty
have taken up the Emma Eugenia transport, at Deptford, to
take out the coals and surplus stores for the expedition.
Light gutta percha sledges are to be provided for the expe-
dition, on a plan proposed by Lieutenant Halkett, R.N. The
steam was got up on board of the Pioneer yesterday, and the
machinery worked in dock (the water having been let into
the dock to float her). All went well.

Tuz OWENS' COLLEGE.—On Saturday morning a
deputation, consisting of Mr. Thomas Bazley (president of
the Manchester Chamber of Commerce). Rev. Dr: Halley
(Independent), Mr. J. R. Wood, Mr. Salis Schwabe. and the
Rev. Alexander Munro, waited upon the trustees of the late
John Owens (whe has lately left a munificent bequest for
the foundation of a college in Manchester), for the purpose
of protesting against the introduction into the pronsed
schools of religious teaching by a professor of the college.
The members of the deputation stated their individual
views upon the subject, and also the opinions of the various
religious bodies which they represented. The trustees pro-
mised to take the matter into their consideration.
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND NORTH
STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAYS.--The differences between these
two companies have at length been finally adjusted. An
agreement was signed, sealed, and the counterparts delivered
on Saturday, by which it is arranged that the Manchester
traffic shall pass over the North Staffordshire line. This
agreement will involve the withdrawal of certain bills which
the North Staffordshire Company have before Parliament,
and also the withdrawal of the Chancery suit which was re.
cently instituted.

SCOTTISII CENTRAL RAthwAr.--The half-yearly
statutory meeting of the shareholders of this company is to
be held on the 26th instant, by which time the report of the
committee of investigation is expected to be ready. It is
reported it is to recommend that the agreement with the
southern companies should be maintained, until determined
otherwise at law. In the meantime the traffic arrangements
with other companies continue as before; any new measures
which may be in contemplation, being deferred till after the
meeting of the 26th, which will determine as to the continu-
ance of the lately formed board of directors in office.—Perth

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The choice of M. EUGENE SUE as the Democratic
candidate forwParis is c9nsidered on all hands as a
master-piece of electioneering tactics ; and even the
reactionaries are compelled to acknowledge that their
candidate will stand little chance against the most
popular novelist of the day, who is also a most
thorough-going Democrat : his popularity as a no-
velist will secure to him the support of the ladies,
whose influence will, no doubt, prevent many from
voting against him who would have ♦oted against any
other Democratic candidate. It is to M. VIDAL that
the credit is due of having proposed the name of M.
EUGENE SUE to the electors of Paris.

Orders have been sent to the French fleet to quit
the Bay of Naples should the English fleet appear
there to demand indemnity for losses sustained by
British subjects in consequence of the proceedings of
General FILANGIERI in Sicily, in order to leave the
ground free for the negotiations of the British
Minister.

The Patrie has the following communicated note:—

" Several journals, in giving an account of an incident
which occurred on the departure of tbe. President of the
Republic from Versailles, say that some persons sur-
rounded his carriage and uttered seditious cries. It is
true that one of the horses in the President's carriage
fell at the Rond Point of the Champ Elysies, but it im-
mediately rose, and no malevolent demonstration took
place. There were very few people assembled."
The following communicated note appears in the
Paine and the Moniteur du Soir : •
" Some of the journals have on several occasions
spoken of movements of Austrian troops destined to form
the garrison of Rome in conjunction with French and
Spanish troops. It is astonishing that various journals
should bring forward sue,h statements on the faith of let-
ters from the shores of the Aariatie. All these reports are
utterly destitute of foundation."' .
The lifoniteur publishes the :Acid returns of the
proceeds of the Customs and Excise duties for the
first quarter of the present year, and which show an
increase as compared with the ist quarter of the last
year of 3,344,000 f.
