best and most comprehensive system of Railway commu-
nication between the Agricultural Districts of Lincoln-
shire and the Eastern Counties, and the populous Manu-
facturing Towns of Yorkshire and Lancashire.

THE PAPAL GOVERNMENT.—The political annual for
thd Roman States has just been published It contains
the following facts :—On the 18th instant the Pope will
haue accomplished his 79th year. He has occupied the
Holy See since the 2d of February, 1831. The sacred
college consists of 60 cardinals, six of whom are cardinal-
bishops, 44 cardinal-priests, and ten cardinal-deacons.
There are still lining two cardinals, created by Pius VII.,
Oppizan! and Rim io Sforza, and seven by Leo XII. The
51 remaining were appointed by the present Pope. Mon-
signor Tardini, the oldest cardinal, is 85 years of age, and
the youngest. Monsignor Schwartzenberg, 35. At the
close of 1843 Rome possessed a population of 170,701 in-
habitants, exclusive of the Israelites.
NEW DOCKS.—The new dock works north end of
Clarence Dock are already actively progressing. Nearly
all the ground is fenced in, and the eastern boundary wall,
as far as Bullen's Mill, is erected. The several occupants
of the houses to be pulled down have received notice to
quit. At the south end of the Brunswick Dock, also,
active preparathns are making to commence of cations.
H ATS.—The only objection that has hitherto been
urged against light hats, (for their general adoption more
titan their durability) is that after comparatively little
wear the grease from the hair finds its way to the exterior,
completely destroying their beauty—but so long as there
is a defect invention will never cease to suggest until the
evil is effectually removed. Ic will be seen by the adver-
tisement of Mr. Jupp, of Lord-street, than an anti-
grease Paris hat is now offered to the public. It has
been highly approved of in the Metropolis and will doubt-
less be equally received in Liverpool.

- -
IMPORTANT TO THE FASHIONABLE WORLD.—By far
the most influential of the graces that contribute to per-
sonal adornment is the Hair. Its recovery, preservation,
and improvement, proportionably concern the elegantes of
our fashionable circles, and any information which will
ensure these desirable results will be hailed as an inesti-
mable boon. The following ( xtract from the letter of a
respectable chemist in Bridlington will be read with the
highest interest :—" A lady, a custo er of mine, has
found great benefit from the use o sour Balm. About
six months ago her hair nearly ,Il fell off. f recom-
mended her to try your Bal. .f Columbia, which she
did. In the course of a few . pplicaticns the hair ceased
to fall off. Before she ha sed one 3s. 6d. bottle it be-
gan to grow very profuse , and she has now a beautiful
head of Hair. I am, g letnen, yours respectfully,
