latterly much decreased.
Operations will be commenced immediately, the site for
the buildings having been selected in the most favourite
part of the town.

HAIR RESTORED,
ITS COLOUR PRESERVED, and BALDNESS
PREVENTED AND REMOVED.
MR. AYRES, PROFESSOR OF CHEIIIISTRY, an-
nounces to the Medical Profession and the
Public generally, that he may be consulted in all the va-
rious changes of which the Hair is susceptible, and more
especially those cases arising from illness, over
study, and anxiety of mind, producing grayness, a
falling off, baldness, and sometimes its entire loss. Mr.
AYRES also desires to call especial attention to the emi-
nent success he has experienced in the prevention and
removal cf BALDNESS,and to state that he is confident of
restoring the Hair in all cases where the roots are not
completely destroyed. His mode of treatment, which has
received the highest testiconnials from the press, is never
to prescribe until he has tested the Hair by analytical
examination, which secures a recipe agreeably to the
exact analysisegnd which, by its nutritive, strengthening,
and alterative properties, will ensure its preservation and
and beauty to an advanced period of life. The prepara-
tions prescribed by Mr. AYRES for changing the colour
of the Hair will not, in the least degree, affect the skin,
nor occasion a red, purple, or unnatural tinge, but pro-
duce a beautifully soft and glossy appearance, and a fixed
and equal cclour. The fee can be forwarded either by
postoffice order or in postage stamps, enclosing at the
same time a small piece of Hair, which, when examined,
the prescription, with every necessary information, will be
transmitted according to the direction received. Fee for
Analysing and Prescription, ss, ; Prescription for Dyeing
the Hair, 10s. Residence, No. 6, Crown-street, (four

THE GODLESS EDUCATION SCHEME.—The following
official announcement of the prelatic move ment against
the Government education scheme, alluded to in The
Times of Saturday, appears in the Roman Catholic organ,
the Freeman's Journal, of this morning :—" We are
in a position to announce that the Irish prelates are about
to make a movement with respect to the education
scheme of the Ministry of the last importance, na-
tionally and religiously.
_What the precise nature of that

movement will be we shall not anticipate, but we may say
that it will probably be decisive of the education question.
The document itself we shall, we trust, be enabled to
place before the public in a day or two." It now remains
to be seen how far Mr. Wyse will be borne out in the
assertion which has been attributed to him, and which, up
to the present, stands on " the record" unrefuted, to the
effect that many of the bishops were playing a double
game ; that, in fact, while denouncing and protesting
agaiust the measure in public, they were privately cheer-
ing on the hon. member for Waterford, as the foremost
champion of this identical scheme of academic education.
THE SPY SYSTEM.—The following statement is put
forward by the Monaghan Standard, a high Orange au-
thority :—" The spy system is carrying on in Ulster to
an extent of which tie public are little aware. The ex-
ecutive has issued orders to the constabulary to note
down the names of persons assembling for political pur-
poses, of persons appearing in any processions. accom-
panied by music, or having banners or arms, so that those
who attend Orange meetings, or follow teetotal bands, or
processions, or repeal meetings, will be known to govern-
ment. Whet the ulterior proceedingsupon thisinfornsation
may be, we know not. However, it is well to be prepared.
This must be an unpleasant duty for the constabulary,
which contains men of a high sense of honour, who, al-
though zealous in doing their duty openly, detest the im-
position of a secret task, which will make spies of them.
We ourselves are aware of some communications made to
Government lately, where most improper liberties were
taken with the names and characters of individuals. We
have our eyes upon the matter, but it is not ripe for pub-
lication yet aphile. However, for the present we reiterate
' ware hawk, there are kites abroad.'"
THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST.—The weather
in this locality, during the greater part of the past week.
has been unfavourable for the harvest. Up to yesterday
morning, induced, we have had frequent heavy, cold rains,
with strong winds. particularly on Thursday, which may
be called the usual equinoctial gale. The labours of the
field have, of course, been retarded, the ground being
saturated, and the standing grain somewhat injured, but
not, so far as we can learn, very materially. Yesterday
was fine, and drying, and from present appearance (Mon-
day evening), we may expect a continuance of clear
weather. A few fine days would see the bulk of the corn
in this neighbourhood safely under cover. Nearly all the
newspapers of England and Ireland (as well as those of
Europe and America) allude in alarming terms to the
ravages of the disease, or cholera, amongst potatoes ;
and there can be no doubt but some mischief has been
sustained by this crop. We hear little or nothing of it,
however, in this quarter, and never saw or tasted finer
potatoes than those now brought to our markets. In
fact, we do not give credit to the gloomy statements put
forth, and rather suspect many of them owe their origin
to parties who aro interested in running down this parti-
cular crop, in ord, r that they may obtain a higher price
for those articles of food of which they may be large
holders. We give the following paragraph from our con-
temporary of the Preston Chronicle, of Saturday. whose
agricultural remarks we have always found to be correct,
as refers to that locality :—" The weather this week has
not been so favourable for hare: sting operations as it was
for the two or three previous weeks, having been for
the last few days rainy and tempestuous ; still the out-
standing f crops hive as yet sustained scarcely any
damage in coesrqiience. A great quantity of wheat
has been secured in good condition ; a good deal in
some places has been thrashed, but the yield is
light and the sample rough. Generally, well-eulti-
vated lands, on naturally poor soils, this year produce
the heaviest crop and finest quality of grain, while on
the other hand, in proportion as the soil is rich, and
where there is a redundancy of straw, on account of the
wet weather, less weight will be produced, and conse-
quently a worse quality of grain. Various are the opinions
respecting the yield of the present produce, but in all
probability, with the late season of the year, and the de-
teriorated condition of some of the crops, it will fall
short of the once general expectation. Oats are a full, if
not above an average crop; beans likewise. Potatoes are
looking well, but on some heavy soils they are much
affected by the rot, in which cases there will be some
difficulty in preserving a winter's store.—The Bolton
Chronicle also states :—The fine weather with which we
have been favoured has come to a close, but it is satisfac-
tory to know that the crops in this neighbourhood have
almost all been secured.
THEATRE ROYAL LIVER.—Last evening, was pro-
duced at this establishment the opera of " Love in a
Village :" the part of Young Mawdaley by Mr. E. L.
Hime, and that of Madge by Mrs. H. P. Grattan.
Want of space prevents us from noticing the piece at
length, but we have room to say that it will well repay a
visit.
A very beautiful shop (which has been entirely rebuilt)
has been opened by Messrs M'Cullock and Co„ as a ge-
neral outfitting and ready made linen repository, in
Church-street.. It is another to the many recent im-
provements that have been made in shop-architecture,
and as the same classic character is kept up in the window
as well as the exterior. it has a very harmonious effect.
It is, we learn, in the Edinburgh style.
A DOUBTFUL CHARACTER.—Mr. Robert Peabody—
Bob Peabody he was usually called, in that popular
nomenclature which always makes an abbreviated
christian name an attribute of the graceless—was a very
jolly person indeed. He was stated by his friends to be
a " bang-up fellow," " a chick," " a bean," and " a
downy card." His enemies called him " a low young
man," "a disgusting bore," and some even went so far
as to term him " a perfect specimen of the real gent.:;
whilst one Temple brrrister in embryo, who had met him,
pronounced him " a bad style of man to know."—New
London Mug.
A tradition is related of the family of a Count of Arge-
weille, to whom a fairy was believed to have given a crys-
tal goblet, as a token of her love. The goblet pussed, by
marriage, into the house of Croy, and was accidentalty
broken. The belief of the family was, that good fortune
attended the pos•ession of the fairy gift, and the lady to
whom it belonged had the virtue of faith. "If I cannot
keep it whole," said she," I can preserve the fragments."
Her faith was rewarded, for on opening the cabinet in
which she had placed the fragments, she found the goblet
as perfect as before the accident.—Dublin University
