FOR THE GROWTH AND EMBELLISHMENT OF
THE HUMAN HAIR.

IDDLEWOOD'S BOTANIC OIL sanctioned by Par-
11'1. liament, and patronised by the Nobilitv(Gentry, and the
,Public, for Renovating and Promoting a Luiruriant Growth of
Hair. No article has ever been diseered possessing the
emollient properties of the Botanic 0 —it is a Family Oil,
where its use is essentially necessary; it cleans the hair, and
preserves the scalp cool, soft, and healthy, and prevents dryness
and the diseases of the hair incident to Children ; its superior
efficacy found great opposition with the vendors of other Hair
Oils, so much that it was excluded from the perfumer's store.
The Proprietor engaged other Agents, but it was also banished
from them, on a pretext that the Botanic Oil possessed greater
:properties than was in flair Oils, and that it was a new dis-
covery, and ever), person selling it would be subject to a penalty
under the,Patent Medicine Act ; and so well was this plan
,arranged, that the Commissioners of Stamps actually corn-
menced an action against the Proprietor, for penalties amount-
ing Jo £so—in consequence, the sale was stopped. The Pro-
prietor does not charge the Commissioners, or His Majesty's.
Government, with injustice, they were, undoubtedly, imposed
unno- The case was reported in its proper light to the Lords
of the Treasury, assuring them the informers had no other
ttiiston h
object in view than to suppress an article they could net com-
pete with ; however, the only loss the Proprietor had, was the
,sale of his Oil from 1828 to 1830, but the kind reception his
petition had in the House of Commons fully compensated for it:
and the public will know how to appreciate such articles, sold
under such .powerful interest and influence, which is able to
e
anything opposed to them. His Grace the Duke of

the close or the day was not in any particitlar request. Young
Bow ton's friends are so lukewarm, thk we can only quote the
nominal odds against him, and the advances of Cobham put
Nonplus on the shelf for the present. A trifle was laid out on
lon at 14 to 1, and several bets taken about D'Egville, first at
20, and abet wardS at 18 to 1. Guided by the feeling displayed,
we should say that he is likely to take a still higher ground be-
the day. Bullion, Conservator, and the Early Bird, are
tooted at the highest prices we beard affered. We are not
aware fiat either was backed outright. 20(0 to 60 was betted
against Drum Major; but as 1000 to 2(1 was afterwards laid, we
have thought it satest to give the highest quotation.—The Oaks
was a very dull affair; Ninny and Brown Duchess have sprung

The room was very fairly attended, but business was not ISO
brisk as recent events at Newmarket, and the near approach' of
the Derby, led us to expect. Grey Motnus and Phoenix still
take the lead in the Derby betting ; the Grey in considerable
favour at diminished odds, the other remained as he finished'
last week, and very favotirably suppoited. Cobham opened at
10 to 1, was afterwards backed at a point less for £lOO. and at
the close of the day was not in any particular request. Young
'tomatoes friends are so lukewarm, that we can only quote the
nominal odds against' him, and the advances of Cobham put
Nonplus on the shelf for the present. A tulle was laid out on

20, and arm' warde at 18 to 1. Guided by the feeling displayed,
we should say that he is likely to take a still higher ground be-

quoted at -the highest priers we heard offered. We are not
aware that either was backed outright. 2000 to 60 was betted

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 9.

The arrivals of all sorts of Grain :fresh up for to-day's market were
very moderate, and, as is customary on Wednesday, we had only a
thin attendance of buyers, and the extent of business transacted was
rather limited. The Wheat trade was firm, and the recent advance
was fully supported. The malting season bein;; now nearly over, there
was but little inquiry for Barley, suited for that purpose, but grinding
and distilling sorts obtained an advance of Is •,er. quarter. Oats sold
Slowly at the rate of Monday. Beans and Peas fully maintained the
advance reported on Monday. Bonded Wheat continued to engross
the attention of the trade, and one or two parcels of fine Dantzic were
sold at from 50s to 51s :ow: qr. The weather for several days past has
been .•emarkahly wam, with seorching sunshine, hut as the wind has
blown chiefly from the east .he nights have been cold, and the growing
crops are said to ue suffering for want of moisture.

-
The arrivals of all sorts of Grain fresh np for to-day's market were,
very moderate, and, as is customary on Wednesday, we had only a
thin attendance of buyers, and the extent of business transacted was
rather limited. The Wheat trade was firm, and the recent advance
was fully supported. The malting season being now nearly over, there
was but little inquiry for Barley, suited for that purpose, but grindintt,
and distilling' sorts obtained an advance of Is per quarter. Oats sold
slowly at the rate of Monday. Beans And Peas fully maintained the'
avance reported on Monday. Bonded Wheat continued to engross
the attention of the trade, and one or two parcels of fine I)antzic were.
sold at from 50s to 51s per qr. . The weather for several days past has
been renVirkably warm, with scorching sunshine, but as tlr.! wind has
blown chiefly from the east the nights have been cold, and the growing
crops are said to be suffering for want of moisture,

FROM THE SAINT JAMES' CHRONICLE,

" Having, carefully and dispassionately examined, and
used the various kinds_ of Metallic Pens, we are come to the
opinion that, with the exception of the PERRYIAN PENS, they
will prove to be very injurious to all those who use them, by
spoiling their hands. Any Pen which does not po(sess the
natural softness of the Quill, accustoms the writer to bear on
the paper so hard, as rapidly and irreparably to spoil his
hand, and also speedily unfit him for wrOng with ease and
comfort to himself with any Pen whatever. The ordinary
Metallic Pen at the first appearaucerems soft, but it is an
unnatural and delusive softness—the softness of distension,
not of flexibility, and will inevitably produce the injuri-
ous effects described. From this g.-neral censure we have
excepted the PATENT PERRYIAN PENS, as they do possess
the flexibility of the Quill Pen, and all its natural softness. It
were to be wished that the endliss attempts at imitation,
to which the PERRYIAN PENS .has given rise, had been
more successful, or that they had never been made."

CORK ASSIZES, JULY 27.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE
Honora M'Carthy was capitally indicted for offering a bo:
named William Crowley, aged eight years, to an apothecar,
for sale, to be by hitn put to death. There were severe
counts charging this novel and extraordinary offence in
different ways.
John Matthew Lefebure, the apothecary, and Robert Arm-
strong; policeman, were examined in support of the prose-
cution, and deposed to the following facts. Mr. Lefebure,
residing in Drunmanway, the prisoner came to his house
between seven and eight o'clock on the evening of the 31st
of March. She told him, in a room behind the shop, that
she had a 'child to sell, a fine likely boy that she kept for
charity. She wanted to get £5 for the coy; 111 r. Lefebure
said that was too much, that grown subjects were had for £2.
He afterwards offered £3, £3105., and £4, at different times.
She refused, and he finally agreed with her for £5, and told
her to come next morning; she said she would, and that she
would want a long day to leave the town and country. She
brought the boy the next morning at ten o'clock, the boy
being in a state of intoxication from porter andspirLitseina.bhuicrile
she had given him. On the previous evening, Mr.
soothed
boy, desired

him, saying the doctor would give bun something sweet. She
then spoke to Mr. Lefebure privately to put him aside at
once, as she should be going to the road. He asked her if
she could have another boy in a month, and she said she
thought she could. He went professedly for the money, but
brought the policeman, who arrested her.
Aii....S2anuallJahazzlas4lizagil as counsel for the
by the court, addressed the jury at some length; whit
hit lordship charged the jury who brought in a verdict of
guilty, and sentence of death was recorded against the
prisoner.
Mr. Core Jones was requested by the court to look after
the boy, and have him sent to school.

The Uiversity of Durham has presented Wordsworth, the
poet, wiYt the honorary. degree of D.C.L. This is the first
instance, and an illustrious one, in which that university has
paid a similar compliment.
STATE OF TRADE.—There was a very active demand for
yarn yesterday, and a considerable extent of bUsinesk was
done at the full prices of the preceding week; and some of
the spinners were demanding a slight advance, which, how-
ever, was not obtained in anv considerable number of cases.
In goods there was no material change from the preceding

NUISANCES.

The following letter from Mr. Boileau was read by the
TOWN-CLERK :

- —•-
To the Worshipful the Mayor and the Town-council of L.

pool.
"GENTLEMEN,—I Chink it to be a duty I owe to the com-
munity, and particularly to those resident in and frequenting
this neighbourhood, to complain of a most offensive nuisance.
All the day through has the atmosphere of this quarter of the
town been saturated with mephitic odours and putrid expala-
tions, arising from the middens to the adjacent slaughter-
houses. A more nauseous state cannot be conceived; the
air is so strongly impregnated, that the very act of breathing
it positively offends the taste, and produces a qualmish sick-
ening of the stomach. Such has been its effect upon me and
others here to-day, attended also with violent headache.
How is it possible duly to pursue our, respective occupations
in the midst of such nauseatin,, and disgusting smells as are
sufficient to create a pestilence ?—I have the honour to be,
gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant,

"S. J• BOILEAU.

20, Clarendon-buildings, South John-street,
Monday, July 16, 1838. •
Mr. JONES said he would make a remark respecting the
chemical nuisances. He had received a communication en-
closing a certificate respecting the health of a relative of his
which showed the detelerious effects of the gas generated by
these alkali works. He trusted the council would see that
-limy-were-effectually done away with, -as it appeared that the
effect to a part of his family would have been fatal. He might
mention that he did not apply for the certificate himself; but
it was transmitted to him without his having had any cogni-
zance of the matter.

The TOWN-CLERK read the letter as follows:
" London, July 28, 1838.
" We, the undersigned, hereby certify, that we have for
some weeks attended Miss Harriet Jones, for a complaint in
the throat, which has assumed a very serious and intractable
character, as a chronic disease, although now, to a certain
extent, for the present relieved. And that, upon inquiry
into the particular locality of her usual residence, and under-
standing that it Was within the influence of certain manufac-
tories or vitriol works, we could not but state our strong
conviction that the unwholesome and acrimonious fumes
there generated,-and let loose into the atmosphere, have most
probably operated to induce this complaint; and that we
shall therefore feel it to be our duty most seriously to urge
upon the family our united opinion that this young lady,
