CAJANI'S ANATOMICAL WAX-
WORKS.

We were admitted on Friday to a view of those ad-
mirable works of the great Florentine Academician,
Ludovico Cajani, now exhibiting in Mr. Leach's ex-
hibition-room, 10, Rathbono-place. They are accu-
rate and beautiful representations of all the organs and
tissues of the human body, and to be appreciated they
must be seen. The principal figures are a Venus de
Medici, and a half figure, displaying the most im-
portant dissections, and the organs in their relative po
salons. On removine file iategpments of the head
uie,7.-ufii,%chia is separamz
and horizontal sections, exhibiting the vessels, convo-
lutions, divisions, and the two substances of this organ.
The muscles, glands, nerves, and vessels of the face
are next shown ; then the interior of the mouth, with
the larynx, pharynx, &c.; then the superficial and
deep-seated muscles of respiration—the heart, lungs,
and great blood-vessels, the muscles of the ab-
domen, with the viscera and their appendages.
Each of the viscera is represented by a se-
parate model of exquisite nicety, and these are
all placed in their true situations, being remov
able, one after the other, for the more perfect exami-
nation of the whole. These exact models are well
adapted to convey such a knowledge of the human
body as every rational person must desire to possess,
presenting one great outline of its wonderful mecha
nism and complicated relations. This instruction, so
useful and satisfactory, is thus afforded without the
disagreeable incidents of the dissecting-room, and
without any accompaniment which would offend the
fastidious. The structure and functions of the
living machine are further illustrated by numerous
anatomical diagrams and preparations, of which Mr.
Leach availed himself in a neat and comprehensive
lecture upon physiology, which drew forth the ap-
plause of a respectable and gratified audience. Many
of his observations were valuable as respects the pre-
servation- of health. In pointing out the functional
relations of different organs to one another, he showed
how much pain and disease men might avoid, if they
only understood so much of their own structure as
was here displayed. It is to be hoped that he will
attract that degree of public attention, to which his
ability as a popular lecturer, and the inappreciable
value of his collection, are entitled.

DERBY AND ST. LEGER CLUBS.
The following is the reply from the Home-office,
to a communication requesting information as to the
legality or illegality of Derby and St. Leger Clubs :
" Whitehall 19th August, 1844.

" Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham
to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this date,
and to refer you for the information which you are de-
sirous of obtaining, to the Act prohibiting lotteries.
Any person offending against the statute is liable to be
proceeded against as therein directed.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
H. MANNERS SUTTON.
" Mr. Charles King, White Hart, 276, Oxford-street."
In observing on this letter, the Sunday Times
says :—" Notwithstanding the illegality of these
clubs, we think that, on an application to the Attor-
ney-General by the defendants, under the 46 Geo. 111.,
c. 148, s. 59, he would stay the actions, because that
statute provides that all actions for the penalties must
be commenced by the Attorney-General, and we do
not think the 6 and 7 William IV., c. 66, which gives
half the penalty to the informer, dispenses with the
necessity of obtaining the Attorney-General's per-
mission to bring the actions. It may, however, be
open to doubt; therefore, once more we say, petition
Parliament on the sth of September."

THE -
_compounds con-
stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc-
tion of the hair, few survive, even m name, beyond a very
limited period; whilst Rim\l and Macassar Oil," with a
reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es-
timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention
for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair,
arc too well known and appreciated to need much comment.
The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it
enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu-
merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au-
thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all
attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred,
its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of un-
principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as
the " genuine" Macassar Oil : whereas the genuine article is
wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son,
and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materials renders
abortiveany attempt to discover its component parts—thus
proving' the imposition of all other articles bearing the title
of " Macassar Oil." The genuine article has the words
" Rowland's Macassar Oil" on the wrapper.—All others are
fraudule counterfeits!
