BEAUTIFUL II A IR.

THE effect of a beautiful Head of Hair on the
countenance, has been at aU times a theme of admiration;
and the Proprietor of the following Article has the satisfaction
to appeal to most of the Nobility for the truth of the sasertion,
that ATKINSON'S CURLING FLUID, or Vegetable Hair
Oil, is the greatest beautifier of the Hair ever invented. It clears
the dander from Children's heads, and gives their Hair a pecu-
liar beauty. It makes the Hair, if harsh or dry, soft and glossy
as silk, and gives it such strength and elasticity, that it retains
the Curl during exerdse in the Dance or Promenade, or in damp
weather. It prevents its turning grey or falling off, and is well
known to medical men fur its superiority in regenerating its
growth; price 3s. 6d.
CAUTION.—As it has been counterfeited and imitated by nu-
merous •ftedy speculators, the Public will phrase to observe the
Proprietor's Name and Address distinct on the Label.

N.B. This Caution particularly applies to the Country, and
to Foreign Nlerchrots.—Also,
ATKINSON'S VEGETABLE. DYE, which changes Grey
or Red Hair to a permanent Brown or Black; price ss.—And
ATKINSON'S AMBROSIA I. SOAP, made by a new
process. It is much milder than the common Soaps. It coun-
teracts their pernicious effects on the Skin, and makes it luxuri-
ously soft, white, and even ; price Is. a square.

From the first Number of H The Gleaner,' an inh
teresting Monthly Miscellany, which gives an epitome
of the lighter articles of the Public Journals :
The privileges of the great Officers of the ancient
British Corm were particularly striking. Etch was
presented annually with a piece of linen and woollert
cloth by the King and Queen, besides some old
clothes from the Royal wardrobe. The King's riding
coat was three times a-year given to the Master of
the Mews: his caps, saddles, bits, and spurs, became
the perquisite of the Master of the Horse; and the
Chamberlain appropriated to himself his old clothes
and bed-quilts.
The third in rank in the Courts of the Anglo-
Saxon Kings was the Steward, who had a variety of
perquisites, of which the following were the most
remarkable :••••4‘ As much of every cask of plain ale,
and as much of every cask of ale with spiceries as he
could reach with the second joint of his middle
finger; and as much of every cask of meat as he
could reach with the first joint of the same finger."
" In the twenty-third year of the reign of Henry
VIII. the Serjeants at Law kept a feast for five days
at Ely-House, in Holborn, where the King, Queen,
and foreign Ambassadors dined, as also the Lord
Mayor, the Judges, the Barons of the Exchequer,
the Aldermen, and many other persons of quality
and consequence. There were brought to the
slaughter-house 24 great beeves, at 265. Bd. a-piece ;
one carcase of an ox, at 24.5. 100 fat wethers, at
2.- 10d. a-piece ; 34 porkers, at 3s. 6d. a-piece ; 91

terer (for they had three), at 20d. a-piece ; capons of
