FOR THE TOILET, &c.

AS nothing tends so effectually to heighten the
beauty of the human countenance as a fine head of hair,
so the preservation of this highly becoming ornament must
always form a paramount consideration with those who have
the least respect for appearance ; and, indeed, if we put appear-
ance and beauty altogether out of the question, it will be found
on investigation that nothing is more conducive to health than
preserving the hair free from all impurities.
J. MIDDLEWOOD,
PROPRIETOR of the BOTANIC OIL,
was bald at a very early period. By i BOTANIC
his hair was renovated, and res a ealthy appearance.
He has used the Oil now upwa of 30 years, and during that
period no decline in the h • has taken place; and from his
first using the Oil his h th was restored, the dry feverish
state of the scalp, da uff, and every disease incident to the
human hair, being pletely eradicated. He therefore flat-
ters himself that h may recommend this Oil with confidence.
J. M. also begs to recommend his VEGETABLE OIL SOAP,
which improves the complexion—renders the surface of the
skin cool, soft, and healthy—cleanses the pores, causing an
increased action of the conducting, vessels, so essentially neces-
sary to health. It prevents chilblains in the most intense frost,
removes freckles, sunburns, &c., and may be used with hard
or soft water. It will also preserve the hair, if constantly used
with warm water; and will increase the efficacy of the Botanic
Oil, by washing the head before or after using the Oil.

ILIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENERATOR, 1
FOR IMPROVING AND rsomoTmo THE GROWTH OF
HUMAN HAIR. If you are in 'want of that Beautiful Adorn-
ment of the Human Figure, a natural -supply of Human Hair,
obtain through the post, or ef any Wholesale or Retail Chemist,
Druggist, or Perfumer, an lls. bottle of GRIMSTONE'S
AROMATIC REGENERATOR. This is an Essential Spirit
drawn from Aromatic Herbs andllowers (grown at his Herbary
'Highgate), which has been long. known to' the Tohility and
gentry by whom it is highls:appreciated for its manifold virtues,
tnonumerous to set forth in an advertisement, but slay be read
,in his pamphlet, in which, the' bottles are enclosed. Each
pamphlet has the signature of WIIMIAM GRIMSTONE, Mer-
,chant, Herbary, Highgate, and-will be found at page 11, under
'the copy of Mrs. Weekley's letter 'to the Editor of the Times
'Newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded
"through the post on receiving' two postage stamps. nd the
AROMATIC REGENERATOR can be forwarde' rongh the
'post- on receiving a Postofficeorder for 4s. ... 7s. Bd., or 12s.
—which includes the postage svltlytin cas The 115. size con-
tains four of the 4s. A few' of its virtue. :s thousands can now
prove, are that—it produces eyebrow. moustaches; whiskers ;
new head of hair ; and new hair o . ald places.
It cures all diseases -of the hu hair. It is acknowledged
by all medical gentlemen to be e only specific that will cure
Porrigo Decalvans, and coy • . ebald places with a new growth
of ,air.
Nervous Head-ache •d by using a few drops on the crown
of the head.
Fainting-fits cured and prevented by using twenty or thirty
drops on the crown of the head. Repeat it •until relief is ob-
tained, and the patient will be relieved in fifteen minutes.
Eyebrows,. Moustaches, and Whiskers produced in a few
weeks by using an essential Spirit drawn from choice Aromatic
Herbs, the peculiar properties-of which are- known only to the
Inventor, and though perfectly innocent in itself, will produce
new hair on bald places,•cattaed by weakness of constitution, or
where nature has not bestowed this ornament to the human
figure. It has been known to many of the nobility and gentry
upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inventor most sin-
cerely thank for their attestation of its merits in the certainty
of restoring Hair, and giving it additional lustre and strength.
Mrs. Weekly, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this
opportunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grunstone of the
Herbary, Highgate,
for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenera-
tsr, in having completely restored the hair on her head after
using it about four months, and her hair is sow much stronger
and more luxuriant than it was previous to its falling off. Mrs.
W. inserts this testimony, thinking that the virtues of this pre-
paration cannot be too generally known, not-only in the resto-
ration and production of hair, but in the cure of nervous and
other headaches, and will be happy to answer the enquiries of
any respectable person.—Times, Aug. 7
The foregoing will, I trust, ne sufficient to prove the efficacy
of my Regenerator, which I now offer to the nobility and the
public ; and I shall merely add that every kind of grease or oil
should be avoided, if you wish a New Growth of Hair. As
those matters are thrown off by our constitution, no oil or
grease can enter the skin, and, therefore, is both objectionable
and useless. As to its power of producing a New Growth of
Human Hair, it is ridiculous to imagine any greasy unction
will penetrate the poresl Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator
is absorbed in a few minutes.

OPENING OF THE ADELPHI THEATRE.—This once fa-
vourite house opened last night, under circumstances cer-
tainly more auspicious than any that have for some time
been presented. The pieces selected were not only re-
plete with interest, but were of that character that gener-
ally meets a favourable reception from a Liverpool audi-
ence, while they have been put upon the stage, to use a
theatrical phrase, with that tact which evinces the talent
of the manager, and leads us to expect when the
corps dranzatique become acquainted with the house and
its visitors, an entertainment certainly above mediocrity.
It is impossible on the eve of a publication to enter into
detail. We may, however, favourably mention Miss
Fielding, who feelingly pourtrayed the character of Miss
Gresham, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Rice, Mrs. Hugging, Mr.
Gardner (late of the Princess's). The house was well
filled, and the audience rapturously applauded the various
efforts of the company, and called for several of them, as
also for the manager, at the close of the first piece ;
shortly after which, Mr. Cooke delivered an appropriate
address, which was well received.
M. Soyer has written to the papers reporting the per-
formance of the model soup-kitchen ere'ted in Dublin
and used by the South Dublin Union. From the opening
of the kitchen on the 6th of April to the 4th of August,
1,147,279 rations, consisting of 2,868,197 pounds of food,
were issued, at a cost of £7,768. Under the old plan of
preparing food in different depOts, the cost would have
been £15,536, or double. One result has been, that
whilst the ratepayers of the North Dublin Union have
paid 3s. 4d. in the pound, those of the South Union have
only had to pay a is. rate.
THE ORIENTATION OF CHURCHES.—AS to the rule
laid down by the present authorities of the Church of
England, not one-fourth of the Roman churches have
their altars at the east end ; but they are amongst the
most ancient and most. important of those sacred build-
ings.
.Consequently, the observance is not a Catholic one
(non ab omnibus). The primitive Anglican Church did,
at a very early period, adopt this tradition ; but surely
with us the question arises whether we are bound to this
fragment of antiquity hand and foot, at whatever cost or
inconvenience ; or whether we may regard it, as does the
Church of ,Rome, in the light of a nonessential, subordi-
nate to other considerations of locality, and the relative
position with other objects. A glance at Nolli's fine map
of Rome will bear out my remarks, or reference to the
compendious plan of Letarouillv.—The Builder.

There have been some destructive floods at Perth. The
Tay on Wednesday overflowed miles upon miles of country,
and fairly astonished the royal city of Perth out of its
propriety ; roaring and tearing the beautiful bridge at a
rate that no one can imagine who was not an eyewitness,
bearing on to the sea the spoils of all the lowlands, hay-
stacks, hurdles, outbuildings—or, rather, their wreck—
fieldgates, all sorts of agricultural produce, trees, torn up
by the roots, and quantities of timber from the railway
works in the neighbourhood. We are sorry also to say
that it is feared that the loss of sheep must be very heavy,
several bodies having been observed to pass down. In
Perth the kitchens everywhere were filled, and cooking
suspended. In the lower parts of the town the water
fairly entered the houses through the ground floor win-
dows, and horses were obliged to be led from the stables
to the higher portions of land to save them from being
drowned.
CURIOUS PARALLEL.—A traveller, once lost in a York-
shire moor, after desperately pursuing a rather hopeless
track for some time, had the good fortune to meet a
member of a shrewd and plain-speaking sect. " This is
the way to York, is it not ?" said the traveller; to which
the other replied. "Friend, first thou tellest a lie, and
'then thou askest a question." There is a homely and yet
a universal truth in this rebuke. The Roman Catholic
Bishops of Connaught, presided over by the veracious
M'Hale, met the other day and passed a resolution, first
affirming that the famine has " slaughtered" about two
millions of the people of Ireland, and then inviting the
clergy of the communion to supply the particulars for
their several parishes. Here is the resolution :—" That,
with a view of furnishing the Government with a season-
able knowledge of the extent and depth of the public
misery, and that they may not labour under the lament-
able ignorance on which ministers relied lastyear as an
apology for their not meeting in time the terrible famine.
that has slaughtered about two zillions of our people,
the clergy be respectfully requested to answer the annexed
queries''nexed
queries.'' And here is the first of the annexed queries :
" What has been the reduction in the number of your
parishioners by famine and its consequence, epidemic
disease, since last October ?" " Friend, first thou tellest
a lie, and then thou askest a question."
