FINE HEAD OF HAIR.

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.
The eVraordlnary 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
I)andrlf, 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, ROWLAN tS'
111AUASSAll OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by re-in-
stating, in full plenitude, the permanent gills anti graces of

nature. For children it is especially recommended, as forming the
basis of a beautiful head of hair, and renderhig the use of the fine-
comb unnecessary.

If you are in want •f that beautiful adornment of the human
noire, 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 Grinistone's Aromatic Regenerator. Thin is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is h;ghly 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, ➢lerchant,
Herbary, 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 th• post, on receiving two
postage stamps.

Thy .Aroinatie Regenerator can be forrtardod through the po!7t on
recolvins a post-office order for O. 6th, 75. Ed., or 125., lu-
clideo tas pootzgo with tlio Ca9C.

The lls. 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) ? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Brimstone's Eye .t-4nuff and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cahn' set, Nervous Headach, 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, 1. sq., to
Mr. William Gritnstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time ix canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.

TUE VERNON FICTURES.—We understand that the
pictures of the Vernon collection are already being, removed
to Marlborough House, where they may probably be seen
during the Whitsuntide holidays. This arrangement will
afford leisure for the contending parties on the claims of the
Royal Academy to public accommodation to bring forward
their arguments for or against that society, and, no doubt,
lead to a reform of its abuse or a clipping of its iuflaence.

It is impossible to form any opinion as to the_pro-
bable result of the election ; as is usual in! all elec-
tions where it is impossible to aacertain the state of
the poll, both parties claim a msjority.
M. CARLIER continues his crusade against the Re-
publican journals, and even extends his persecution to
the Charivari, for the purpose of promoting the sale
of the Corsaire, a Legitimatist would-be joker, in the
circulation of whose " ponderous levities" M. CAR-
LIER appears to take especial interest. The follow-
ing is the list of the journals-the sale of which, except
within their own offices, and to regular subscribers,
is prohibited :
Charivaii. National.
-Credit. Presse.
Di (13 ocratie Pacifique. Siacle.
Estafette. Voix du People.
•
Evenement.
The Jesuit journals4he Legitimatist, Orleanist, and
Bonapartist organs are alone permitted to be sold in
single numbers by newsvenders. There is not one
of these journals so permitted to be sold by M. CAR-
LIER which is not avowedly an enemy to the Republic,
which M. CARLIER has sworn to maintain. It is not
improbable but that M. CARLIER may find that he
has exposed himself to some awkward prosecutions for
damages by his violent and, it would appear, illegal
proceedings in these matters. M. EMILE DE Gri-
RARDIN, who is not of the most forgiving disposition
in the world, has taken the opinion of M. LANGLAIS,
one of the most eminent lawyers of France, and who
in.political opinions belongs to the extreme section of
the reactionary party. The opinion of M. LANGLAIS
is published in the Presee, and it concludes in these
words :
"Our opinion on these questions cannot, then, be
doubtful. The evidence is conclusive that the sale of

newspapers at newspaper offices and in shops is not pro-
hibited either by the laws affecting booksellers or by the
law of 1849. Coil)°, lege (hawking) is alone subjected
to authorisation. Such is the manifest spirit of the law.
The police claims a right which is exorbitant, which has
never been before set up, and which is impossible. The
establishment of this arbitrary regime, which would put
its hand upon the sale of journals, in all its modes and
forms, ought to have for its warrant a formal text and a

special vote, and ought not to be done by surprise and
misunderstanding. Now not only has the Legislature not
given expressly the right to the police to interdict [he
sale of journals within doors, but it has proclaimed in
formal terms, by organ of the reporter of the commis-
sion, that the '6th clause does not apply to the venders
a domicile.' What can be more clear? The right of the
proprietors of the press is, then, certain, and we confi-
dently think that such right will be confirmed by the
tribunals."
The Napoleon has the following :
" Agriculture is still in a state of great suffering.
What specially causes the low price of corn is the un-
certainty with respect to the future, of which the ,end is
not seen. Speculators, who had purchased rather large
quantities to sell later, have left fur some time past the
corn in the market or with the producers, and seem to
abandon all chance cf profit. In order to remedy the
double inconvenience of capital without circulation, and
corn below value, the Government has imagined and
authorised loans on corn, convinced that the slightest
rise in the price of that article would produce in favour
of agriculture a result of y hich superficial observations
do not give an idea, but which clearly appears from the
following table :
" When the kilogramme of bread is
at 20c., France disburses 1,460 millions
at 30c., Is 2.070 ~
at 40c., pf 2,555 „
at 50c., 3,650 „
TbuF, according to small variations, France may have to
pay-two milliards. more or less, to agriculture for bread
in the course t f a year. This enormous' difference
made it the dOty of the Government to seek the mear,s
of raising the price of corn. It believes Vat it has found
it iu loans on flour. Such a simple e.xplanatiou'vvill, no
doubt, put au end to Vie passionate criticism of curtain
j,,orouls."

- In what, as far as principle is concerned, does this
notable scheme for enhancing the price of bread, and
thus robbing the poor and industrious bread.eater for
the benefit of the large landowner, differ from the
Socialist schemes for the organiz ition of labour, and
for the formation of loan banks. Yet these are so de•.
nounced by. the gentlemen who have concocted the
above scheme (which almost seems to have been sug-
gested by some members of the English aristocracy)
fur their own especial benefit. In each case money
is proposed to be taken from the taxes, to which all
contribute, to be expended fur the benefit of a few
individuals, to the damage and injury of the re-
mainder of the tax-payers. The only difference is,
that the Socialists propose to give to the poor the pro-
ceeds of the plunder, while the Napoleon proposes to
adoFt the English plan, of plundering the poor for the
benefit of the landowner.

The Eventment gives the following additional re-
turns of votes from the army :—Rouen, 4th
Regiment of light infantry: Sue, 66, Leclerc 19—
Toulon, 10th Regiment of the line : Sue 41, Leclerc
7—Dijon, 14th of the line : Sue 52, Leclerc 13—St.
Omer : Sue 18, Leclerc 3.
The Gazette de France, however, claims the ma-
jority at St. Omer for Leclerc.
