RIMS TON E'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 er druggist, or perfumer, an Ifs.
bottle of Gemstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Ilighgate), 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 Gemstone, Merchant,
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. Bd., or 125., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The lie, size contains four of the 40. ,
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 yen 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 Grimstone's Eye Snuff I and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, 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 ef protection, signed by Herries, F.sq., te
Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account ef its curative qualities, being sold at that time ix c
order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.

lowing Testimonial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
GLASGOW, MAY B.—As yet the weather is cold for
the season, and trosty at night. Coastwise and from
abroad the arrivals have been light, and with the excep-
tion of moderate quantities of flour, the supplies from
Ireland continue of the least importance. At Grange-

mouth about 4,274 quarters of ;wheat, 70 quarters of
barley, and 240 quarters of peas reached from the con-
tinent. A good business has bean done during the week
on speculation, as well as for consumption, at an advance
of 6d to is per boll on wheat, and 6d to Is per sack on
flour. Other articles participated in the improvement.
This day's market was well attended by town and country.
buyers. Wheat and flour realised the above enhance-
ment, but the business done was not extensive. Barley
was the turn dearer: Oats have to be written 6d per
boll. and oatmeal is per load higher. Beans maitained
last week's improvement, and peas were a better sale.
Indian corn and rye unaltered.
BIRMINGHAM, MAY 9.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 4th, wheat was is to 2s per quarter
dearer. Little barley offering, but no advance could be
obtained. Oats were unaltered in value. Beans and
peas 6il to is per quarter higher. This week there is
again very little English wheat offering; the sales made
are at a further improvement of is to 2s per quarter;
our buyers, however, generally hold off. Few transac-
tions reported in barley. Some oats have changed hands
at former prices. Beans and peas rather looking up,
fine new English beans having realised 1 Is, and French
104 63 per 1961 b. At this day's market the farmers' sup-
ply of wheat being limited, 'English wheat realised an
advance of 2s. per quarter, whilst foreign was ls. to 2e.
higher. Barley firm, but no dearer. Very little passing
in oats. On English beans a rise of Is. per quarter was
established, with an improved demand for French and
Egyptian. Peas held for a similar improvement.
BRISTOL, MAY 9.—The supply of English wheat was
small, at an advance of 2s per quarter, and sold readily.
In foreign wheat there was a free sale, and on fine Polish
and French an advance of from is to is 6d per quarter
took place. English wheat sold at 38s to 42s per quar-
ter; foreign white, 42s to 445; ditto red, extra fine, 40s
to 425; ditto fine, 37s to 38s 6d; ditto ordinary 35s to
36s 6d; ditto hard, 34s to 37s per 4801bs. In barley—
Malting qualities were firm, and for grinding purposes
6d per quarter was obtained above last week's quota
lions, and was more inquired after. English malting
barley, 23s to 28s per imperial quarter; ditto and
foreign grinding, 18s 6d to 218 per 4001bs. On white
oats an advance of 6d, and on black, from 6d to Is.
Devon and Welsh at 14s to 15s per imperial quarter;
ditto Irish white, 16s to 17s per 3201b5; ditto black,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
CHESTER RACES.
CHESTER, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—We may safely
affirm that the assemblage on the Course this afternoon
was the largest ever seen on any similar occasion at
Chester. Notwithstanding the rain fell without ceasing
from the commencement of the races yesterday until
the middle of the night, and that the gloomy and
threatening appearance of the morning warranted any-
thing but pleasant anticipations, crowds flocked in from
the surrounding country, while train seer train, arriv-
ing from all parts of the kingdom, kept up a continuous
living stream from the station from teo e'clock until
long aster the commencement of the races. When we
state that besides the special and ordinary, there were
thirteen or fourteen cheap-trip trains, some idea of the
crowded and almost impassable state of the streets may
be tormed—that this enormous traffic should have been
managed without accident or confusion, is highly credit-
able to Mr. Jones, the station-master. and Mr. Critchley,
the superintendent. The appearance of the Roodee was ex-
traordinary; the stands were crammed to suffocation, and
would have been so had their size been trebled; the city
walls, the slopes, in fact, every spot feem which a
glimpse of the running could b. obtained, was coverel:
the scene altogether beggars description. The weather,
contrary to the forebodings of the weather-wise, turned
out highly favourable, and the day altogether passed off
with unequivocal success.
We subjoin the results of the events decided after our
parcel was dispatched, with a few additional particulars
of the Cup race:—

into two ranks instead of three, as heret 'fore,
athnuds
the Grosvenor Steps, and alteration which gave general
satisfaction. After some delay, occasioned by Oster-
ley's restiveness, a fair start was accomplished, Grief,
General Sale, and the-Wbim colt taking the lead, and
running almost abreast up to the workhouse, where
Osterley shot past them and took up the running at a
great pace, followed by Miss Ann at an intervel of two
or three lengths, in her wake lying R idney, Emma,
Mounseer, Peep-o'-day Boy, and several others. St.
George took the third place at the bridge turn, but no-
thing approached the two leading horses until they got
to the back of the course the second time; here Miss
Ann joined Osterley, and they ran together, with
Mounseer, Peep-o'. day Boy, and Cockermouth in wait-
ing, to the bottom of the course. Osterley was beaten
at this point, and Miss Ann went on with the running,
but was caught at the last turn by M .unseer, Cocker-
mouth, and Woolwich, and beaten. The trio had the
rest of the race to themselves, Mounseer winning by a
short halt'-length, and Cockermouth heating Woolwice,
for the second money, by a neck; Peep• o' day fourth,
and Chantrey fifth. Time, 4 min. 11 sec.

BROMPTON mu the report of the
committee of management, and of the pre building ex-
tension fund, it appears that there are at psent no less than
MI patients now awaiting their turn of admission to the
wards of the hospital. It has, th refore, been proposed to
raise the sum of 10,0001, to be applied to the elevation of the
eastern wing, in sums payable by three equal annual instal-
ments. Several friends and supporters of the charity, in-
cluding the Rev. Sir Henry Foulis, Bart., Philip Rose, Esq.,
John Ball, Esq., and others, have already consented to sub-
scribe 1001. each, upon condition that 5,0001. is contributed
previous to the calling for their several subscriptions. The
forthcoming anniversary festival, to be held in June next,
will, doubtless, materially assist the benevolent objects of the
institution. It will be presided over by the Right lion. Lord
Faversham.
