WHITE CONDUIT-HOUSE.

Oh Wednesday Mr. R. Rouse, proprietor of the White
Conduit-house, opened his Assembly-room, it having been
renovated and decorated for the season. It is well propor-
tioned as regards architectural character, and the proprietor
has displayed wonderful taste in the preparations and orna-
ments. It has been composed as nearly as possible in
drawing-room style, but yet is extended to the semblance of
the banquetting halls of the baronial mansions of old. The
pictures which were to be seen last season are still retained,
but there has been added a gallery of sculpture in bronze of
the heroes of war and the geniuses of poetry, that adorn the
place on brackets arranged in classical taste. When the gas
lights were burning the general effect of the room was most
brilliant.

T. S. Duncombe, Esq., M.P., took the chair, and a nume-
rous and respectable company did due acknowledgments to
his entry. Accompanying him was J. P. Barnard, Esq., T.
Rouse, Esq., of the Grecian Saloon, Mr. Childs, solicitor, and
Mr. James Duncombe, solicitor, &c.
The dinner was excellent, the wines capital, and the at-
tendance not merely faultless, but all that could be desired.
After the dinner, the Chairman gave the usual routine of
loyal toasts, which were drunk with the most marked cor-
diality and enthusiasm. The proceedings were much en-
livened by several songs from Mr. Robinson, the favourite
ballad singer, and Mr. Forde, who elicited great applause for
the exercise of his comic power. Mr. Barnard kindly volun-
teered a song, which was rapturously applauded. Mr. Dun-
combe, M.P., addressed the meeting several.times, and was
loudly cheered. Mr. Childs gave as a toast " The Licensed
Victuallers, and Mr. T. Rouse,• the veteran proprietor of the
Grecian Saloon." Mr. Rouse returned thanks. The health
of the host was eloquently given by the Chairman, and Mr.
Rouse, in a neat speech, acknowledged the mark of respect.
Mr. Keasley, the ex-Governor of the Licensed Victualler?
Incorporated Society, proposed the health of Mr. James
Duncombe, solicitor, for the services he had done the trade.
Duncombe returned thanks in his usual style of eloquence.
We left the company at approaching late hours, in a high
spirit of enjoyment.

THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con-
stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc-
tion of the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very
limited period; whilst " Rowland 's Macassar Oil," with a
reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es-
timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention I
for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair,
are 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 fat-our, 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
and the amalgamation of its costly exoti Rowland and Son,
c materials renders
abortiveany attempt to discover its cemponent 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
fraudulent counterfeits I
