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
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 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 rencjers
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
fraud ule counterfeits!

SIGHT AND HEARING.—n, Albemarle-street, Picca-
dilly. Newly-invented spectacles, telescopes, opera-
glasses, microscopes, &c. Patronised by Generals Sir
Edward Paget, Sir Evan Lloyd, Frederick Meister,
Clayton, Galway, Grosvenor, Morrison, Dyott, Robert-
son, and Mackenzie ; Major-Generals Sir H. Elphin -
stone, P. Fyers, D. Macleod, Hamilton, and Wemyss ;
Lieut.-Generals Sir Henry Bonverie, Sir J. Macdonald,
Sir R. Barton, Sir T. Dallas, Lord John Hay ; Admirals
Sir George Cockburn, Sir George Munday, Sir G.
Martin, Sir James H. Whitshed, Sir D. Gold, and
Ross. By the use of these newly-invented spectacles,
imperfect vision becomes preserved and strengthened,
and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight
at the most minute occupation, and can see with those
lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor will they
require the frequent changes to further helps ; also
newly-invented achromatic waistcoat-pocket telescopes
and opera glasses. Every kind of telescope of larger
size with increasing powers, for shooting, sea purposes,
and, upon stands, for astronomical purposes, with the
same celebrated lenses, the powers are so great, and the
lenses so bright and brilliant, that minute objects at an
extraordinary distance are brought completely under the
eye. Sportsmen, tourists, and sea-side visitors will
have a great treat. Their invisible voice conductor gives
immediate relief to old standing extreme eases of deaf-
ness. Caution—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians
and aurists, are not in any way connected with a person
of the same name in their immediate neighbonrhood, nor
in any part of the country. To prevent mistakes be
cautious and observe, only to be had at 39, Albemarle-
street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel.
HOARSENESS.—One drachm of freshly scraped
horse radish root, to be infused with four ounces of wa-
ter, in a close vessel, for two hours, and made into a
syrup, with double its weight in vinegar, is an improved
remedy for hoarseness ; a teaspoonful has often proved
effectual ; a few teaspoonfuls, it is said, have never been
known to fail in removing hoarsenesg.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The settling of the Epsom accounts was resumed yester-
day, and notwithstanding the large sums that were hedged
between Running Rein and Orlando, proved one of the most
unsatisfactory ever known. Several parties did not appear
either in person or by proxy,. nor, except from one, who, a
heavy loser, attributes his inability to meet his engagements
to a mercantile failure, was any communication whatever re-
ceived from them. The absence of two or three of those
persons is good-naturedly attributed to ignorance of the
time fixed for settling, although made public in all the
daily papers on Friday last, and copied into most of the
weekly and provincial journals ; this plea, therefore, cannot
be allowed, and for their neglect to make any provision
.for the settlement, no excuse whatever can be made—it is in
the highest degree reprehensible. Of two other cases no
hopes whatever are entertained; it was well known long
ago that they would be "wanted " if Orlando won, and no one
is in the least surprised at their absence. Their deficiencies,
and the state of abeyance in which the late Mr. Crockford's
book remains, had a most disheartening influence on the
settlement (all the accounts having been more or less dis-
arranged, and several parties—good winners on the 'race—
obliged, in consequence, to leave the room considerably out
of pocket. The only way to prevent this very usual conse-
quence of extravagant and indiscriminate " book-making"
is, without regard to rank or station, to adopt the "black
board," and post, not only actual defaulters, but all who fail
to attend or make arrangements for paying and receiving, on
the regular settling days.
The betting commenced late in the afternoon, and, limited
as it was in extent, led to two or three important changes.

THE Loss of THE MANCHESTER.—By the ar-
rival of the Duchess of Lonsdale, General Steam Navigation
Company's steamer, with the Hamburgh mail of Wednesday,
it is ascertained that the wreck of the ill-fated Manchester
steamer, which was discovered lying at the extreme end of
the Reissen Sands, to the northward of the Elbe, in about
twelve feet of water, has gradually disappeared by the
breakers making over it and destroying it by piecemeal.
Two bodies, one a female and the other a male, have been
cast on the beach, and are supposed to have been part of the
unfortunate creatures who perished with the vessel. Mrs.
St. George Smith, of Drogheda, her daughter, and the stew-
ardess, being the only females that were on board the Man-
chester at the time, it is presumed that the body is one of
them. It was only attired in a night-dress and chemise,
from which circumstance it is inferred that she was at rest
when the loss of the vessel took place. The other body is
that of a man, and is judged to have been one of the crew.
The Directors of the Hanseatic Steam Navigation Company,
to whom the Manchester belonged, arc still instituting a
strict inquiry concerning the deplorable catastrophe, but as
yet have not' been able to trace out the exact bearing
where the unfortunate property was sacrificed. That she
was lost on the end of the Reissen Sands, where her wreck
was seen, there are considerable doubts, from the fact of her
anchors arid chain cable, which, from their massive descrip-
tion, would not drift, being not fbund on the spot, and the
singular circumstance of her lying in twelve feet of water,
the extent of her draught when laden. It is, however, very
evident to most mariners, that the primary cause of the loss
was by her going too far to the northward of the harbour, a
conclusion which the most experienced pilots on the Elbe
have arrived at. It has also been [said that her being
formed what is termed "wall built," thereby being
doubly difficult to bring round in stormy weather, prin-
cipally occasioned her speedy wreck ; in answer to which,
her builder is firmly of opinion that her loss did not occur
through any fault in her construction. She was only
launched in 1841, and the repeated excellent passages she
made in bad weather,' between Hull and llamburgh, clearly
proved her to be a sound and expeditious sea-boat.
THE BOY JONES AGAIN.—The following is an ex-
tract from a letter received in this town from an officer of her
Majesty's ship Warspite, dated off Gibraltar, 16th June. The
writer was formerly resident in Leeds, and there is no doubt
of the authenticity of the letter :—" One little incident oc-
curred between Tunis and Algiers, the relation of which may
perhaps prove interesting. I think I have never informed
you that the boy Jones (the interesting chimney-Sweep, who
so ingeniously contrived to secrete himself in the private
apartments 'of her Majesty, at' Buckingham Palace), is, and
has been for two or three years, on board the Wars/site, in the
capacity of a first-class boy. After contrary winds during
nearly the whole of ourpassage between the two places above
named, we were one night becalmed (at all events the ship
was only making a knot and a half an hour). Now, on fine
nights, I very frequently remain on the upper deck during the
greater part of the first watch, listening to the various songs
with which the men generally beguile away the monotony of
the time in calm weather, and on this night I was thus en-
joying myself, when about seven bells (half-past eleven
o'clock), we were startled by the soul-stirring cry of 'A man
overboard!' which was immediately followed by the usual
hoarse bawls of the boatswain's mate of the watch, Away,
first and second cutters.' A general rush aft took place, some
seizing the bight of a rope, others springing on the ham-
mock netting, and straining their eye-balls tocatch a sight of
the unfortunate individual. A marine is usually stationed on
the poop at the life-buoy, but the after part of the watch had
been called to alter the trim of the spanker, and as is usual, he
was assisting. Fortunately,' however, our Captain's clerk, Mr.
Hall, was enjoying the coolness of the night air on the poop,
and he promptly let go the life -buoy, which blazed away with
a steady beautiful. light, and dropped considerably astern
immediately. The cutters were lowered after a little con-
fusion, and pulled for the buoy, where they found no less a
person than Master Jones, who was holding on with one
hand, and dashing the sparks (arising from the port-fire)
from his face with the other. As they approached, he sung
out—` Here lam ; look lively.' They quickly succeeded in
getting him into one of the boats, the other taking the buoy
in tow. When brought on board, he was questioned by the
lieutenant of the watch, and stated that he had fallen out of
the mizen rigging accidentally ; but the ship's crew arc of
opinion that, if it had been a rough night, young Jones would
not have gone overboard at all—they all think that he jumped
overboard. and that for no other purpose than to see the life-
buoy light burning, and this is in some measure confirmed by.
the fact of his bawling out when falling A man overboard,'
and again, when immersed, Let go the life-buoy.' How-
ever, he is a singular character, and the thing is not at all
unlikely."-Leeds Mercury.
SPACE ANNIHILATED.—THE MAGNETIC TELE-
GRAPH.—The magnetic telegraph is now in full opera-
thin between the cities of Washington and Baltimore.
The following examples will show the manner in which
this instrument annihilates both time and space :—" On
,Saturday morning the batteries were charged, and
the regular transmission of intelligence between Wash-
ington and Baltimore commenced, as we learn from
the Baltimore Patriot. A large number of gentlemen
were present to see the operations of this truly astonish-
ing contrivance. Many admitted to the room had their
names sent down; and in less than a second the appa-
ratus in Baltimore was put in'operation by the attendant
,in Washington, and before the lapse of a half-
minute the same names were returned plainly written. At
half-past eleven o'clock, A.M., the question being asked
What the news was at Washington ?" the answer
was almost instantaneously returned—' Van Buren
stock is rising'—meaning, of course, that his chances
were strengthening to receive the nomination on Mon-
day next. The time of day was also inquired for, when
the response was given from the capitol, forty-nine
minutes past eleven.' At this period it was also asked
how many persons were spectators to the telegraphic
experiments in Washington ? The answer was six-
teen ;' after which a variety of names were sent
up from Washington, some with their compliments
to their friends in Baltimore, whose names had just been
transmitted to them. Several items of private intelligence
were also transmitted back Wards and forwards, one of
which was an order to an agent in Baltimore not to pay a
certain bill. The electric fluid proved too slow, for it had
been,paid a few minutes before. At half-past twelve, the
following was sent to Washington :—" Ask a reporter
in Congress to send a dispatch to the Balt:snore Patriot,
at two r.n.' In about a minute the answer came back
thus—' It will be attended to.' Two o'clock, P.3l.—Tho
dispatch has arrived, and is as follows :—' One o'clock ;
there has just been a motion in the House to go into
committee of the whole on the Oregon territory. Re-
jected ; Ayes, 79 ; 'noes, 862—Half-past one : The
house is now engaged on private Bills."—" Quarter to
two : Mr. Atherton is now speaking in the Senate.
Mr. S. will not be in Baltimore to-night.' So that Bal-
tiniore papers are thus enabled to give their readers in-
formation from Washington up to the very hour of
going to press. This is indeed the annihilation of
space."—New York Daily Sun.—[The distance between
Baltimore and Washington is 34 miles.]
DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN ST. JOHN'S CHURCHYARD,
WATERLOO-ROAD—Yesterday afternoon, between three
and four o'clock, a dreadful occurrence took place during
the usual hours for interment in the ground of the above
church, and while the Rev. Mr. Irvine was performing the
burial service, and a number of persons .were waiting for
the performance of the service over their deceased relatives
and friends, the funeral procession of a child belonging to
a poor Irish labourer entered the ground, accompanied by a
vast number of Irish Roman Catholics, as is their usual
custowi, and proceeded to the grave which had been allotted
for its interment. On arriving at the spot, the Rev. Mr.
Johnson commenced the usual service, a practice which
is not in these grounds permitted to be passed over ; the
Reverend Gentleman had no soonerutlered the first sentence
than a number of Irishmen rushed forward, and using
terrible oaths and disgusting language, seized a number of
shovels, and declared in violent language that no service
should be read over the corpse, and that they would split
the head of any one who attempted it. The Rev. Mr. John-
son, from their excited manner, being apprehensive of vio-
lence, left the grave, the boards were torn up, and one man
thrown upon 'the coffin, and a violent struggle commenced
between the authorities of the ground and their assailants,
during which the grave was nearly filled up, and it was not
until the police had interfered and removed the most active
and violent of the party that anything like order could be
obtained, and the Reverend Gentlemen enabled to proceed with
their sacred duties, when the parents of the deceased and
their followers permitted the Rev. Mr. Irvine to perform the
service, and the parties quietly retired, finding further resist-
ance useless.

BOAT UPSET.—FIVE LIVES LOST.—On the even-
ing of Monday, the 24th ult., one of the boats engaged
in the cod and ling fishing at Ness, Island of Lewis, was
upset, and fire of the crew perished, only one being
saved. Three of them have left wives and families to
lament their loss.—lnverness Cow ier.

ROWING 'MATCH.
The great boat race for a purse of sixty sovereigns, 016
by the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, who have frequently
bcen the donors of large sums of money for competition ell
the Thames, took place yesterday.. The task of selection
such men as would afford first-rate sport had been entrustc!
to Castles, one of her Majesty's watermen, who very ably a"
impartially discharged the duty, by picking an equal ntimb!r
from above and below bridge, and lotting them together in
pairs. In the list were to. be found Charles Campbell, tbe
ex-champion ;. Robert Newel, who rowed against Robert
Coombes fur that enviable distinction ; F. Lett, E. Mayilaw,'
and others, with whose names as first-Late men the pubb
are familiar.

.....
The anticipation of good sport produced the largest cod
course of persons that we have witnessed for a length
time at any corresponding exhibition. Independently of tirs
brilliant and fashionable assemblage on the lawn of
Grace's mansion, the craft on either shore vas covered iv"
th
spectators; there were hundreds of boats of every de,noroins
tion afloat, and IVcstrninster-'iridge, to the imminent risk
many of the most ventrucsom,?, one -mass of Anxious spec.
tutors.

The race was with eight r* of oars, in three heats, 11..4
was, we regret to say, what is termed a fair waternitt
wager, or, in plainer words, one in which fouling is allow::
a,practice reprehended of late by leading gentlemen 57,
teurs, and from very good reason, as it bet too freque!We
occurs that under its conditions indifferent men carry jag
prize, whilst those of more pretensions are engaged in ill
their skill at fouling.
Shortly after four o'clock the sports commenced. '
