[ADVERTISEMENT.]—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S
GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling
off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the heat,
is the use of the two above named articles, applied al-
ternately—the botanic water to cleanse the roots from
scurf anti as a stimulant, and tha bear's grease as a
nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the
virtues of bear's grease for renovating and pre3erving
the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and
the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame-
rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and
Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first intro-
duced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who
fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to put.-
chase none other but with their names and address
printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a
spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to the hair
Are worse than useless.

The Paris Constitutionnel, which is supposed to re
ceive correct information from head-quarters, says :

" The news received from Switzerland would seem to
give warning of grave events. The Government of the
canton of Lucerne, of this canton subject for more than
three months to a system of terror, of which there
has been no example in that part of the world, ap-
pears a prey to a feverish excitement, and rushes into
extreme means, thinking to supply by violence the
elements of life which are wanting to it. It only re-
strains itself through fear of foreign intervention, in case
of a domestic struggle. On their side, the populations
of liberal Switzerland, which form the immense ma-
jority of the nation, sup" ort with difficulty the tone
adopted in certain diplomatic notes. They would pro-
bably have submitted without too much olj.Ttion to an
adjournment, seeing the impotency of the Diet to decide
the Jesuit question at present; but they are rxasporated
by this intervention to such a degree, that on many
paints it is impossible to restrain the expre,sion of their
discontent ; so that it may be said that all the steps taken
by the Powers to prevent, as they say, the popular out-
brelk, have only served to accelerate it. The men
who enjoy- the confidence of the nation, such as the
Avoyer Neuhaus, of Berne, M. Wieland, of Arau, and
M. Druey, of Lausanne, exert all their influence to le-
strain the resentment of the masses. What has raised
to its height the indignation of the Liberal party
is M. de Metternich's note, less vielent in form than
M. Guizot's, but not at bottom less offensive. We
understand that 'the Prussian Minister has just taken,
with the President, a similar step to that of his col-
leagues. Thus, there is only wanting in the concert of
representatives, of which Switzerland is the object, the
co-operation of Russia. It is nevertheless possible, ac-
cording to what our correspondent writes us word, that
the crisis, which appears inevitable, may be confined to
the overthrow of the unnatural state of things which
prevails at Lucerne, and that the question of the Jesuits,
the sole cause of the state of disorder in which Switzer-
land is plunged, may at last receive a solution by the
change of the vote of this canton in the Diet. In the
midst of the grave circumstances which agitate Switzer-
land, M. de Pontois quitted Zurich on the 23d, to repair
to Paris, where he comes, no doubt, for directions."

The Bill presented to the French Chamber of De-
puties by Marshal Soul.; requiring a vote of
17,750,00:A: to provide guns for the fortifications of
Paris, has raised a vi'.-lent outcry from nearly all the
Opposition journals, but the time for such a display
of patriotism has gone by. Most of these papers
cordially supported the plan when M. TRIERS' party
raised the war-cry against England; they now find
themselves sadly mistaken, and exclaim against mea-
sures of their own seeking. The Commerce, how.
ever, is an exception. Ti we re..member right, it has
been constantly opposed to these fortresses, and may
therefore show that its anticipations were well-
founded. " Extensive barracks," it says, " are
about to be erected in the very capital, which
will convert each bastion into a citadel im-
pregnable to the citizens. In raising the
forts the Chambers never intended perpetually to
concentrate round Paris the greatest military estab-
lishment in the kingdom, or to collect there all the
attirail of an army ; yet this is what is about to b
done at Saint Maur, where they are establishing two
arsenals, a manufacture of arms, a foundry, Sce. The
Chambers have consented to some forts supporting
the fortifications of Paris, but they have never dreamed
of placing Paris under the guns of a great fortress,
and of stationing at that fortress an army beyond the
reach of the people and laws; yet this is what has
been d.me at Vincennes." The National, one of the
original supporters of the measure, joins in the cry,
and calls upon the whole population of France to re-
sist a scheme for overawing the friends of liberty.
The Courrier Francais can attribute this act of the
Ministry only to insanity. This question, it is an-
ticipated, will excite war discussions in the Chamber
of Deputies, but in vain. They have sanctioned the
measure; it is one of the hobbies of the "Chateau,"
and besides it would be utterly absurd to erect forts
without guns. The discussion in the Chambers on
railway companies and the Customs Bill were still
going on, but they possess no interest to the English
reader.
