The following testimonial is one of many thousands
addressed to Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-
garden, London, whose advertisement appears in
another column.. " Gentlemen,—l consider it almost
an imperative duty to state the valuable efficacy of
your most excellent Macassar Oil. For the last 15
years I have been bald, occasioned by a most dread-
ful fever whilst in India. I have used almost every
means to procure a head of hair again, but all my
efforts seemed fruitless, until, accidentally a friend
advised the use of your va:uable Hair Restorer—(I
can give it no better name), and, after using a 3s. 6d.
bottle, every symptom of a new head of hair began to
show itself, to the joy, not only of myself, but my
children. I resolved on having another, and obtained
a 7s. bottle, and, before the whole of which was used,
I bad, and have now, as handsome a head of hair as
ever'man 'enjoyed, and I earnestly recommend all who
have not tried this most excellent Oil, not to fail to
do so.—l am, Sirs, your most grateful and obedient
servant, J. WALKER, Colonel. Whittly Lodge, near
Taunton, May 10, 1836."
It is said that the manufacturers in Nottingham.
and Derby are endea vouring to bring out coats and
trousers woven in the frame, and that ultimately it is
expected they will accomplish their purpose.

5P1R1.5.1 of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—Except the late Lord Durham's parting
Rroclamation from Canada, we do not remember so
rpikless a State-paper as this of Lord Ellenborough
fiirn Simla. The anarchy of the Affghan tribes will
find a parallel in the British monarchy, if every tem-4
porary holder of power delegated from the Sovereign
is allowed to entertain " surrounding States" with
the faults and follies of his Queen's Government,
whenever the actual or former policy of that Go-
vernment does not suit his opinions. There is ad-
ministrative anarchy, not constitutional government,
where these things are done. We hold that the only
authorities competent to pronounce judgment on the
policy of the empire—are the Legislature and Go-
vernment of the empire—no one of their delegates.
The party _now in power were sufficiently vehement
against Lord Durham's unguardedness, in publishing
his philippic against Parliamentary friends and ene-
mies, in America. The inconvenience and peril of
such a proceeding were denounced justly at that
time. Is it less inconvenient and less perilous,
in the East than in the West to depreciate
national policy ? Is plain speaking so indispensable to
ears Oriental, that Lord Ellenborough felt com-
pelled to afford them this remarkable specimen ,
of it ? Are they so likely to understand it in a sense
serviceable to our mural influence ? We can just
imagine that, in Europe, a certain magnanimity may

W:ie to Rersuade the'

ever, while swperiding its judgrne:trupantlie substance
of what the Goverpor-General lr ap.ttit 'resolved,
the Chronicle observes no delicac:.' ‘A:ith.r and to the
intention which it. gratuitously a r.ribest his Lord-
ship—the intention, namely;' of •'esignil the pri-
soners 'to their'. fate. Now, w*ther Lord Ellen-
borough ever held, this intentiond not, must be
a secret in his own breast ; certalily Sir Robert Peel
entertained no such intention, as Asplain from his re-
peated pledges to viildicate the holibur of the empire
,at whatever cost; 'Atrictit• is not vaiy piphoble that the
;at
to India .by Sir Robert Piel
would, immediately upon his arrival there, commence
a system directly contrary to the pledges given
by the Minister who sent him. This is an
improbability so very strong 'that the weightiest
evidence must be required -to shake the presump-
tion arising from it. Now, what is the evidence
adduced by Lord Ellenborough's accusers? Certain
orders for retrograde movements, assumed to have
Leenissued, or to have been intended to he issued.
But granting the fact of these orders; who knows
their ulterior purpose ? There are two things indeed
that may be known to every one, leading to a conclu-
sion that the orders issued or intended by Lord Ellen-.
borough did not contemplate any other course but
exactly that course which was adopted with such
triumphant success. These one or two things are
the facts, that no unnecessary march was made
by any portion of' the army, however small ;
no opportunity, however trifling, was lost ; not
a man's labour, nor a single day was wasted—
the whole grand operation, extending over a field
of about 1,200 miles by 500, fell into working
order like the most exquisitely-finished piece of
machinery—an engine contrived with consummate
art of inflexible and indestructible materials. Such
is not the effect of timid and vacillating councils.
But the destruction of Kelat i Ghilzie, and other
strong places, concurring with the alleged orders for
a retrograde movement, is advanced to confirm the
charge of intending to abandon the prisoners. The
ruins of Ghuznee, however, tell why the works of
Kelat i Ghilziee
Br.c., were destroyed—namely, in con-
templation, not. of the abandonment of the prisoners,
but of the ultimate evacuation of the Affghan terri-
tory. In short, assuming that the Governor-General,
from the first, intended that which he had actually
done, every step of his conduct will appear clear, in-
telligible, and consistent ; but, to credit an opposite
hypothesis,
.we. must get over a score of difficulties
and contradictions.
