FINE HEAD OF HAIR.
ftOWLAND'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
Dandruff, 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, ROWLA_NDS'
MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by re-in-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 use of the fine-
comb unnecessary.
Price 3s. 9d. and 75.; or Family Bottles (equal to four small) at
10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 215.
CAUTION.—On the wrapper of each bottle of the genuine article
are these words, in two lines ROWLANDS' 'MACASSAR OIL.
Sold by A. ROWLAND and SONS, 20, Hatton-Garden, London
and by all Chemists and Perfumers.

burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
tertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering :root their invariable COR-
squences, unwisely entertains a fear 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 reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent hie seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. L.4'3IERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his .41plomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

PORTUGAL.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to
the 9th.

The Portuguese Government admit the American
claims to the amount of 91,000 dollars, but positively
refuse to admit the claim for the lox's of the General
Armstrong unless under positive coercion, or by the
arbitration of the King of SWEDEN, or the Sovereign
of any other maritime state. Mr. CLAY'S reply in-
sisti on the admission of the claim for the General
Armstrong.
The American frigate and steamer were still in
the Tagus.
Commodore ML TEN was also there with the
Prince Regent, Leander, Phaeton, Arethusa, Arro-
gant., Encounter, and Conflict.
Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert had bee❑
much admired at Lisbon, where she had arrived at
half• past two, P.m. on the 29th ult., after making the
passage of 760 miles from Plymouth in sixty-five
hours, with a current against her the whole run of
thirty-seven miles, giving her average speed as 12.2
knots. She went over the Lisbon bar at half-past

GERMANY.
DISMISSAL OF lIAYNAU.

A letter from Vienna of the 11th instant announces
the dismissal of Marshal liArNau, in conformity with
the report of the Council of Ministers. Although the
decree is dated the 6th, the question had again been
considered in Council on the night of the 10th, when
it was finally resolved to give official publication to
the decree. This affair hats created an extraordinary
sensation.

A. letter from Pesth of the sth, in the Austrian
Lloyd's,
says The sentence rendered on Satur-
day last by the council-of-war has just been
published. Out of thirty ex-Deputies, twenty-
six have been acquitted. Amongst these latter
are BEZEREDY and PAT tY. J. MADARASZ has
been condemned to 9 years' hard labour, RADOCZI to
12 years of the same punishment; and KITEINGI and
OLL.ku to 15 years' confinement in a fortress. The
property of MADARASZ and RADOCZI has been con-
ti scated.

The FM Gazette of 'Berlin says that the Aus-
trian Cabinet has made the following propositions to
the Prussian Government:-1. That Prussia shall
no longer refuse .
to recognize the validity of the old
federal constitution all Ifs consequences ; 2. That
Prussia shall consider the Congress of Frankfort as
the only competent authority for regulating the Ger-
man question ; 3. That the Union shall be suspended
until the establishment of a central definitive govern-
ment.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO SIR R. PEEL

Saturday*, after the disposal of the usual paro-
chial routine buxicec,s,
Mr. Hump M.P., rose, and passed a high culo3ium
upon the late Sir Robert Peel. lle said that although
Sir Robert P, el had ben his political opponent, he
considered that in his death the country had sustained
a great, indeed, he might say, an irreparable loss:—
(Hear.) Some persons might imagine that during
the last four years he bad done nothing for the coun-
try, but he (Mr. Hum) could assure them that Sir
Robert Peel during that time had maintained and
kept together the state.—(]Lear, hear.) All classes,
even his bitterest political enemies—personal he had
none—deeply deplored his death as a great national
loss.—(hear, hear.) Although Sir Robert Peel had
no connexion with Marylebone, the ratepayers must
remember that when the Poor law Commissioners at-
, tempted to force upon them their tyrannical measures
Sir Robert Peel interposed and saved them from such
tyranny.—(Cheers.) He alluded to the attempt of
the Poor-law Commissioners to introduce into the
parish district asylums, which Sir Robert Peel had
prevented them from doing.—(Hear, hear.) In con-
clusion he moved the following resolutions:—
" 1. That this vestry de ire to join in the universal
expression of deep regret for the premature death of the
late, Sir It. Peel, whose patriotic and disinterested con-
duct during a lcng public career has been of inestimable
service to his country, and has left a brilliant example
for the imitation of future statesmen.—(Hear, hear.)
"2. Tbat this vestry desires to offer to the afflicted
widow and family of the departed statesman an ex-
pression of profound sympathy for the irreparable be-
reavement they have antlered in the loss of one whose
private and domestic virtues have always
stood as high as his public character in the estimation cf
Englishmen."—(Hea-, hear.) deservedly
Mr. J. M. WILLIAMS, M.P., seconded the resolu-
tions, which were unanimously adopted.
Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, ex-member, moved, and
Dr. GREY, seconded, that the resolutions be forwarded
to his family which was carried nem. con.

Madrid journals of the 9th have been received.
By a curious mistake, the telegraph ordered to
transmit from Bayonne the intelligence of the death of
"the statesman PEEL," substituted for the name of PEEL
that of PALMELLA, and in consequence the Madrid
journals are filled with speculations as to the effect
which the death of PALsrELLA may be supposed to
produce in Portugal.

About 1.800 head of stock have been landed at the
outports from France, Holland, and Germany. The ar-
rivals of stock by sea from Ireland, for this market, last
week were 7 Cows, 290 Sheep and Lambs, and 31Calves.
Fresh up to this morning's market, the receipts of home-
fed Beasts were on the increase, and of full average qua-
lity. Owing to the uVavourable state of the weather
for slaughtering, the Beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline
in the quotati,,ns of Monday last of quite 2d per Me.
The highest figure for the best Scots was 3s 8d per 81b,
and a total clearance was not effected. from Norfolk,
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,400
Scots, Home-breds, and Short horns ; fron Lincoln-
shire, and Leicestershire, 900 Short-horns; from
other parts of England, 400 tf various breeds; and
om Scotland, 200 Horned and Polled Scots.
There was an increase in the numt,er of Sheep, especially
from the northern and eastern districts. For all breeds
the demand was in a very sluggish state, and prices gave
way 2d per 81bs. The test old Downs were selling at
from 3s 8d to 3s 10d per 810 s. In Lambs, the supply of
which was large, only a limited business was transacted
at a fall in value of 2d per 81bs. The priniest Down
qualities of Lamb produced 4s 8d per Blbs. We were
fairly supplied with Calves, which moved off slowly at
last week's currencie?. The sale for Pigs was heavy,
but we have no change to notice in prices.

GERMANY.

A letter from Vienna of the 6th says :—" The re-
duction of the army, which at present is no longer
doubtful, will have a direct and immediate influence
on the finances of Austria. The ever•increasing
deficit of the budget, which during the last quarter
amounted to 17,630,000 florins, will be in great part
covered by the saving arising from the dismissal of
80,000 men. The Gazette of the Empire an-
nounces that the Chargé d'Affaires of Aus-
tria at Washington has received orders to pro-
test against the policy of the President of the
United States during the war of Hungary. The
documents communicated to the Senate by General
Taylor, published in the American papers, and repro-
duced by the Gazette of the Empire, have justly ex-
cited the susceptibility of the Cabinet of Vienna. The
Grand Duke of Tuscany has passed two days at
Frohsdorff. Cabrera is at present at Vienna with his
wife, he is to proceed to Frohsdorff."
The Dusseldorf Gazette states that General Haynau
has been dismissed from the Austrian service for not
having obeyed the orders and instructions that he had
received.

The pay of the Colonel-in-Chief of the 60th Rifles,
vacant by the death of the late Duke of Cambridge,
only amounts to the sum of 2381. 15s. sd. per annum,
or 13s. ld. per day.

SPANISH BONDHOLDERS

The Committee of Spanish bondholders have received
a communication from their agent at Madrid, and cer-
tainly it is not very encouraging. It is as follows:
" Madrid, July 5, 1850.
" Monsieur le President,—l have the honour to inform
you that I have had this day, jointly with the Dutch
delegates (who hold likewise powers from the French,
Belgian, and Prussian Committees), the first conference
with the Directive Junta, presided over by Monsieur
Bertram de Lis.

" In this conference we explained the sacred rights of
the foreign creditor, and the desire with which the com-
mittees are animated to come to a reciprocally acceptable
and equitable settlement.
" I read extracts from the letters which the committee
has addressed to me under date of the 10th of May and
18th of June last, plainly asserting that there is no
question of any proposition, but solely an indication on
the part of the committee to obtain from the Govern-
ment a proposition upon the basis indicated in your
letter of the 10th of May, in order to submit it to the
discussion and approbation of the foreign bondholders.
" The Dutch delegates have joined ns to carry out
entirely this plan, and expressed their perfect satisfac-
tion of it to the Directive Junta. The Junta replied
that they would take the whole into consideration, in
order to make their report to the Government, and to
call us to another conference as soon as they should be
in a situation to make a reply. The Dutch delegates
have seen this day for the same object his Excellency
the Duke de Valencia and the Minister of Finance, who
respectively promised to do all they possibly can. The
Duke de Valencia indicated that the Treasury can never
go further than to apply 200,000,000 reals annually
to
the whole of the debt, home and foreign, and as 100
millions of roils are already required for the payment of
the 3 per cent. interior and exterior debt, there remains
the other 100 millions of reals applicable to the defini-
tive arrangement of the old debt, interior and exterior.
" I shall bare the honour to keep you informed of what
continues to take place, and I avail myself of this oppor-
tunity to repeat, Monsieur le President, the assurance of
wy most distinguished sentiments.
" DANIEL WEISWEILLER.
" The President of the Committee of Spanish
Bondholders, London."

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The third and last file of this st,ciety took place on
Saturday, at Kew. The grounds of the Duke of Devon-
shire, at Chiswick, were thrown open to the visitors on
the occasion by the kindness of his Grace. The gardens
of the society were in the best possible order, and the
whole of the arrangements were in the best taste. The
sho 4, of fruit was good, the specimens exhibited being
of the first class; the show of flowers was aho good,
some of the single specimens of rare plants being very
fine. An improvement was obvious in the general ap-
pearance of the grounds, and the large marquees, erected
by Mr. B. Edgington, of the Borough, were more than
usually spacious, the shade afforded being extrenr.ly de-
sirable, and the ventilation complete. Praise is due to
the honorary secretary, Dr. Daniels, for the good taste
displayed, and to the scientific superintendence of Dr.
Lindley. The grounds of the Duke of Devonshire were
in splendid order, and had the appearance of a fairy land.
The number of visitors was very great, although the re-
cent deaths of the Duke of Cambridge and Sir R. Peel
kept many fashionaWes away. There were present the
Duke of Devonshire, the Duchess of Sutherland, the
Marquis of Normanby, Lord Bradford, L )rd Sondes,
Lord and Lady J. Russell, &c , the American Miniver,
the Nepalese Envoy, &c., :tad other persons of distinc-
tion. The bands of the Ist Life Guards, of the Cold-
stream Guards, a3d of the Horse Guards (t3!ue), were
not in uniform, but wore mourning, in respect for the late
Duke of Cambridge.
