We beg to direct the attention of our readers to the fol-
lowing extract of a letter addressed to Messrs. Rowland and
Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London, (whose advertisement
appears in another column.) It is dated Hamburg, February
15th, 1833 I have also the pleasure to inform you of
another decided proof of the efficacy of your celebrated
Macassar Oil. Dr. Roding, of this place, had a patient who
was bald for eighteen years, and who had tried several arti-
cles for the recovery of his hair, but without effect, until he
was advised by the doctor to make use of your Oil : after
using three bottles, he entirely recovered it, and has now a
much finer head of hair than formerly. Dr. R. felt so grati-
fied at its success, that he made a drawing of the recovered
hair (magnified) which he herewith sends."—See advt.
EFFECTS OF THE NEW POOR LAW.—At the Quarter
Sessions of the peace held at Knutsford last week for the
county of Chester, no less than 60 cases of bastardy were dis-
posed of.

The accusation against the Rev. Joseph Stephens is that of
attempting improper liberties with a sister of Mrs. Bronterre
O'Brien, with whom he became acquainted in London.—
Spectator.

'BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.—It is intended by the libe-
rals of St. Pancras to bring forward the Hon. Edward Bou-
verie, second son of the Earl of Radnor, as a candidate for
the representation of this borough,—Standard.
The Duke of Sutherland has been appointed Lord-Lieute-
nant of the county of Salop, in the room of the late Earl
Powis, deceased. His Grace is the largest resident proprie-
tor in this county.—Ministerial Paper.
A valedictory address was on Friday presented by the arch-
deacon and clergy of the archdeaconry and county of Lei-
cester to the Lord Bishop of Lincoln on the occasion of
their separation from his lordship's diocese. The address
had been signed by 223 clergymen.

ABOLITION Flux rrs.—A disgusting case of marriage-amal-
gamation at Hagerstown, Maryland, between a sturdy negro,
and a delicate, modest, well educated white girl(!) of that
place, threw the town into commotion. The negro was car-
ried to gaol for safety, from whence he was delivered over to
the mob, who inflicted 39 lashes upon his back, and sent him
over the line into Pennsylyania.—New York Evening Star.
THE HAY HARVEST has commenced in good earnest in
the vicinity of our town ; much has already been stacked
round Shrewsbury ; and the general average of the crop is
excellent. The WHEAT and other GRAIN CROPS have a
most promising appearance throughout the country.—Salop-
ian Journal.

STREET PREACHING.—The Cambrian says, "The follow-
ing is an exact copy of a written notice intrusted to the town-
crier of Abergavenny on Thursday :—` This is to Informe the
In Habitance Of this place that there will be A sarmond
preached this Eying at 7 O'Clock by mrs Eleanor Harris,
By the Old duke Castle street—mrs Harris is a lisend mis-
sionary.' "
At Old Windsor, on Sunday night, during the thunder
storm, there was a shower of ice. The pieces were of the
shape, and some of them of the size, of a common hen egg.
One of them, half an hour after it had fallen, weighed 15
pennyweights, and measured in the circumference of its
length five inches and a half, and of its greatest breadth four
inches. Each piece was transparent except at its centre,
which was of the purest white. While falling they were il-
luminated by the lightning, and seemed like balls of fire.
We are informed by one of our correspondents, that several
of the delegates at Birmingham having heard that 27 warrants
were out against members of the association, took fright and
took coach for Coventry, and there published a furious address
to their fellow citizens at the former place. It was evident
from the conduct of these patriots, they must sooner or later
have been sent to Coventry.--Hera/d.
THE BISHOP OF LICHFIELD AND COVENTRY We are
glad to learn that there is no foundation for the report of the
death of the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. The right rev.
prelate who is residing in town, has been dangerously ill for
some time past, but within the last few days his health has ,
considerably improved. Sir Henry Halford and Mr. A. B.
Chisholm, of Devonshire-street, are in daily attendance upon
his lordship.—Herald.

Mr. Thomas de Vear has written to the Morning Chronicle
to say that the electors of Westminster " are greatly and
justly dissatisfied with their present representatives, and that
at the next election, whenever it may occur, candidates will
be proposed who are unconnected with party, remote from
extremes, and such as are calculated to restore Westninster
to the high station she once occupied."
GUNPOWDER ACCIDENT.-At the cutting at Sunninghill
the labourers have for some time past encountered a vein of
hardened clay, which has almost undergone a transformation
to stone ; they have, therefore, adopted the plan of blasting
to expedite the work. On Tuesday morning last a small
barrel of gunpowder was brought to the shaft, and by some
means, not yet clearly ascertained, the whole exploded, fright-
fully injuring five men, one of whom was raised in the air
some distance, with the truck he sat on. Two of the men
were removed to the hospital quite' deprived of sight at the
time, and the three others were removed to their lodgings,
considerably lacerated. The two hospital patients are going
on favourably.—Reading Mercury.
The Queen continues her equestrian exercise almost daily,
in which she is always attended by Miss Quentin, the daugh-
ter of Sir George Quentin. This young lady, though holding
no specific appointment in the royal household, might very
properly be styled equestrian lady-in-waiting, as it is her duty
to prepare and train the horses destined for her Majesty's
own use, assist her Majesty in mounting and dismounting—
in short, to perform•all the petits soins usually performed by
attendant cavaliers on maidens of lesser degree. Miss Quen-
tin is a first-rate horsewoman, and has trained five horses for
the special use of the Queen. She rides from Kew, every
morning, to attend her Majesty.—Cheltenham Looker-on,

THE CROPS IN LONGRIDGR.—SeveraI experienced farmers
in this neighbourhood, says our Longridge correspondent,
agree in stating that the weather for the last two or three
weeks has been most favourable to the wheat, and the crops
generally ; they concur also in declaring that although the
rain has done much good to the meadow and pasture grass,
it is not quite so full as might have been expected; yet, con-
sidering the extremely meagre appearance it presented before
the rains fell, it is a decent crop. The general fact is, that
symptoms of a prosperous harvest are to be seen almost every
where.—Preston Chronicle.

PROLIFIC Ducß.—A cadger, at Forth, Camwath, has a
fine lively duck that regularly lays two eggs at a time ; and
what is of importance, the owner can breed such ducks at
pleasure. He says, to :have the double-laying breed, you
have simply to hatch one bird out of two eggs.

We are told that working men in various establishments of
the metropolis propose to devote a part of two days in the
week, perhaps Tuesdays and Fridays, in holdingpublic meet-
ings, and taking every possible means to express very fully
their sentiments on the late proceedings at Birmingham.
They are to declare their confidence in the convention, and
to take steps for filling up any vacancies which may be caused
by the present members being arrested.—Sun.

Last week the magistrates of Devonport caused three
men to be apprehended for selling printed papers, purport-
ing to be an account of a Dreadful Riot at Birmingham, al-
leged have taken place on the Saturday previous. and that
500 persons had been killed. The bill was headed Birming-
ham Luminary office, Saturday, 12 at night. The whole of
the statement was an entire fabrication. The offenders were

committed to Bridewell for a fortnight.—Devonport Paper.

IMPORTANT TO REPORTERS. - The schoolmaster of
Climpy has at length completed his machine, called the
" Speech Recorder." Its principle is to divide the mental
and mechanical labour of speech reporting, but allowing
both to go on at once, thereby doubling the speed of the
most expert common reporter : consequently, a whole speech
can be taken down by the time that the speaker is half
through his harangue. The idea of this wonderful machine
was taken from " Babbage on the Division of Labour."

A HINT TO MILK AND WATER POLITICIANS.—" Don't
move in the presidency" says one, " until after this elec-
tion." Very well. " Now don't say a word about the pre-
sidency until after the governor's election." Very well.
" Now pray don't agitate the subject until after the spring
election. Very well again. " Now do me the favour not
to divide the whig party by even referring to the presidency
until after the November election." We presume the next
that we shall hear from the gentry who are always pulling
our coat tail will be " you may go the d—l, and nominate
who you please for president, now that Van Buren is re-
elected.—,New York Morning Herald.

A LITERAL. INTERPRETATION.—At an inquest held near
Manchester, a few days ago, a witness when the oath was - • -
administered to him to state the truth " touching the death
of Daniel Cavanagh," said with gretlt simplicity, " I did
,not touch biro, sir"
