INTERESTING TO LADIES.

To Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London.

Percy-place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, _844.
Gentlemen, —I think it but an act of jnstice to inform
you of the benefit I have derived from the use of your
admirable Macassar Oil. About six months ago I found
ray hair getting daily more weak and thin, and much
discoloured, from a practice I had adopted of wetting it
continually ; fearing that I should lose it entirely, and
hearing of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil, I have for
some time past constantly used it, and the result is, that
my hair is now perfectly restored and much improved
in appearance and colour, having become thick, dark, and
glossy ; it also curls freely without the use of paper,
which it never did before. To all my friends I have
warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an eacellent
restorative and preservative for the hair. As I have an
objection to see my name in print, I beg you will not
publish it; but you are at liberty to show this letter, or
make any other use you please of it, and refer applicants
to me, if necessary, in proof of the efficacy of your Ma-
cassar Oil.—Your obedient servant,
Rowland's Macassar Oil preserves and reproduces the
Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ;
Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour ; frees it
from Scurf and Dandruff, and makes it beautifully soft
and curly. _ _

Ask for " Rowland's Macassar Oil."
All others are fraudulent counterfeits.

SPLENDID ARRANGEMENT OF LOOKING-GLASS,
producing the effect of a long arcade, and so bewildering
as to cause a doubt whether you are in London or in old
Rome.

" Arch follows arch, and pile succeeds to pile."
This unique apartment is devoted to cutting and arrang-
ing the hair in, and with another having a beautiful
view of Naples, are on the ground-floor. In calling at-
tention to their establishment, Ross and Sons beg
to notice the advantages of their system—viz., they
never take apprentices nor young men from the
country, nor object to customers asking for the same
Dian to wait upon them ; every person has clean brushes,
they never being used twice, without being washed
and parties are not pressed to buy things they do not
want. Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishops-
gate-street.
THE HAGUE, MAY 22.---According to the ac-
count sent by the Dutch Consulate at the Havannah, the
hurricane of the 4th and sth of October last year had
done so much injury, especially to the sugar manufacto-
ries, that it will occasion a diminution of 500,000 chests
of sugar in the production of the year 1844. It is cal-
culated that several years will pass before the damage
can be repaired, and the production raised to its usual
amount.

The office of Collector of the Customs at Ports-
mouth having become vacant by the decease of
Mr. Hull, the following promotions have taken place in
consequence:—Mr. Charles Hoffnseister, Comptroller of
the port of Hull, to be Collector at Portsmouth; Mr.
Frederick Cassell, Collector at aluglas. Isle of Man, to
be Comptroller at Hull ; Mr. M.Guffog, Collector at
Fowey, to be Collector at Douglas ; Mr. Thorneley,
Comptroller at Newry, to be Collector at Fowey; Mr.
Kinsey, Collector at Tralee, to be Comptroller at Newry;
Mr. Cronin, Clerk at Galway, to be Collector at Tralee.

RACE OF MAN 'v. HORSE.—This morning a race
which created some interest from its novelty, came off in the pre-
sence of a good number of spectators—the competitors were Staf-
ford (a pedestrian), and a horse belonging to Mr. Willet. The
contesting distance was from the Regent's Park-gates, in the New-
road, to Euston-square, about a mile. The stipulated conditions
of the match were, that the pedestrian should have an advantage
at starting of 100 yards, the horse to trot under saddle, and to be
confined to trotting only. The stakes were 5/. a-side. The start
was made, Stafford availing himself of the advantage at starting,
and maintained the lead for half a mile; the bipid and quadruped
then continued contending alongside each other till they arrived
near Tottenham-court-road, when the pedestrian evidently made
up his mind for the goal, and went away at extra speed ; and was
imitated by his opponent, but who almost immediately broke
into a gallop, and was pulled in. This gave the pedestrian an op-
portunity of making ground—the horse was quickly in pursuit—
but all efforts to overtake him were ineffectual, and Stafford ran in
the winner easily, going over the mile in 5* minutes.
DEATH OF SIR ARTHUR BROOK FAULKNEIL—II
is our painful duty to record the death.of Sir A. B. Faulkner, who
died at his mansion, Evington, on Friday last, May 23. We shall
leave it to his biographers to enumerate his literary productions,
and to the critics to consider their merits, while we briefly inscribe
his virtues as a man, and the regret which all must feel who knew
and respected him. He was formerly a physician of this town, but
has long retired from professional duties to pursue his literary
tastes, and the pure delights of country life. He had laboured
under no severe indisposition, and on the very day of his death had
sought relief and amusement in his own garden ; but during the
last fortnight his feelings had suffered deeply from the loss of a
beloved brother, and now in that short space of time the grave has
claimed them both as peaceful tenants of the tomb. If learning ac-
knowledged him as a votary. morality claimed him for purity, deli-
cacy, benevolence, and sensibility; and the deep sorrow of his
afflicted widow are sacred to his memory as a most devoted husband.

DEATH FROM CWOKING.--Yesterday 'afternoon, a
child named Ann Smith, aged eighteen months, was adm:tted to
Gux's Hospital, who it was stated had been choked whilst eating
some pudding for Its dinner. Mr. Benson, the house-surgeon, after
examination, proceeded to open the trachea in order to afford relief,
but before the operation could be perforated the unfortunate child
breathed its list.
