ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL is universally acknow-
ledged as well deserving the station it now holds of the
highest public distinction. It prevents Hair from falling off
or turning grey to the latest period of life ; changes grey hair
to its original colour; frees it from scurf. and renders it
beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. In dressing Hair, it keeps
it firm in the curl, uninjured by damp weather, crowded
rooms, the dance, or in the exercise of riding. To Children,
it is invaluable, as it lays a foundation for a beautiful head
of hair.

CAUTION.—Ask for " Rowland's Macassar Oil", and ob-
serve that each bottle is enclosed in a New Envelope from
steel, on which are their Names and Address in Red, thus,

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 25

The receipts from Ireland since this day week comprise a
moderate quantity of Wheat and Fiour, with a fair supply
of Oats, and-a further large influx of Oatmeal ; hut of any-
thing coastwise we have still very little to notice. From the
Continent of Europe, we have to report a good supply of
Wheat, with several parcels of Barley, Beans and Pease—
and from the United States, 17,714 barrels of Flour.
In consequence of to-day being observed as a holiday at the
Custom-bouse, and the general business of the town being
partially suspended, the transactions in Wheat were only to
a moderate extent this morning ; and with rather less firm-
ness than at the close of the week ; secondary and inferior
descriptions were the turn lower : prime qualities, notwith-
standing, were scarcely affected in value, and for such we
therefore repeat the current rates of this day se'nnight.—ln
foreign Wheat, either in bond or afloat, no recent sales have
been reported.
English and Irish Flour continued to move off slowly at
late prices ;• and Foreign duty paid was rather depressed in
value, a few parcels of Canadian having been sold at 345.
States Flour under lock was also offered at a decline of ls.
per barrel.
In Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, very little business was
apparent, and former prices scarcely maintained.
Oats, with a better supply of good samples, but no im-
proved demand, obtained the rates of Tuesday last. Oat-
meal, although by no means in lively request, was rather
more saleable to consumers, ou the terms of last week.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. ?4

In our market of to-day there was a slight comparative increase
(with those of Monday) in the numbers of Beasts offering; yet
they were, the time of the year considered, by no means dnmerous,
but of very superior quality. The primest sorts commanded a
steady sale, at fully Friday's quotations, but in other qualities ex-
ceedingly little was passing. From Scotland we received 90 Scots
and 200 Sheep, per steamers. The supply of Sheep was moderately
good, while the Mutton trade was slow, and the currencies noted on
this day se'nnight were with difficulty supported. However, a fair
clearance of the stock was effected. Very few of the Beasts or
Sheep were suffering from the prevailing epidemic. Scarcely any
Calves were on sale. yet the enquiry for them was slow, at barely
late rates. Pigs sold freely on full as gocd terms as of late. By
the quantities of Sibs, sinking the offal.

The Duke of Wellington, in presenting the colours, spoke
as follows :—I have great pleasure this day in presenting new
colours to the regiment of the 72d Highlanders, by the com-
mand of her most gracious Majesty. It is now 50 years
since I served with this regiment in India; when it greatly
distinguished itself for the eminent services it rendered to
the country. The regiment has since also greatly distin-
guished itself in the conquest of several valuable colonies.
The men have maintained their character in war • and now
we are at peace, I am happy to find that you still maintain
your character; for I have made it my business to make in-
quiry, and I have found that you stand as high in the esti-
mation of your fellow-citizens in your present as in your for-
mer quarters. I will take this opportunity of impressing
upon the minds of the officers, non-commissioned officers,
and privates, that much depends upon your conduct as
moral men, for you have an imperative duty to perform
to the community at large, which must on no account be
neglected. Officers must also hear in mind that the effi-
ciency of troops depends mainly upon their discipline and
moral conduct. lam most proud to be able, on this day, to
present new colours to the 72d, or Duke of Albany's High-
landers, a regiment which I am gratified to be able to show
to his Majesty of Prussia—the King, the ruler of a vast na-
tion, whose armies have acted in concert with our own, and
to whose combined success, in conjunction with other troops,
the present happiness of Europe is in great part to be attri-
buted. lam also gratified in showing this regiment before
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and in presence of your
Sovereign, who now looks down upon you (her Majesty was
stationed at one of the windows in St. George's Hall). If
any other motive were necessary to make you faithful and
true to your colours, yon will not fail to remember that they
have been sanctified by religion, through the means of almost
the
t
the highest dignitary and most respected prelate of
resolution,
your
church. It now only remains for me to say, that
and a

which vigilance, and attention are necessary on all hands,
happy this day, to witness their efforts,

of yesterday.

The shareholders of the London and Birmingham Railway
Company have recently presented to their chairman, George

token of their approbation of the manner in which he has
presided over the affairs of the railway for the last five years.

DESTRUCTION OF A COTTAGE BY FlRE.—About one
o'clock on Saturday morning, information was brought to
the town's yard, that a house in the neighbourhood of Board-
man-street, Harpurhey, was on fire. Mr. Rose immediately
proceeded with an engine and several firemen to the place.;
but, when he arrived, be found that a small cottage had
just been destroyed by fire. The cottage was occupied by a
washerwoman, who, it appears, very narrowly escaped being
burnt to death. She was slightly scorched on the hands
and face, but not materially injured.—Manchester Guardian.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On Monday morning, a fire broke
out in a building in Alum-street, Great Ancoats-street, be-
longing to Mr. Goulding, timber merchant; and, information
of the event having reached the town's yard about four
o'clock. Mr. Rose instantly set out for the place, with a com-
pany of firemen and the Niagara engine. The building was
completely destroyed in a very short time after the arrival of
the firemen. The loss is estimated at £1,680.
ANOTHER FALSEIIOOD OF THE FREE TRADERS.—The
Morning Chronicle of Tuesday last makes a long parade in a
leading article upon the alleged fact that the West India
Steam-packet Company had engaged vessels from Bremen to
carry coals from Sunderland and Newcastle to their various
depots or stations in the West Indies, because they would
perform the voyage at less charge than English vessels ; but
it turns out on inquiry that those foreign vessels were engaged
to carry coals to St. Thomas s and to the Havannah, because
no English ships could be obtained to these particular ports,
and that no saving was effected by employing them.

cannot be determined upon till I meet my brother corn-
Inissioners at Ascension.

Should any one of the steamers ascend the Niger next
year I would prefer one of the larger ones to be selected,
from their superior velocity and stowage. Under present
circumstances I would countermand the coals which I re-
quested might be forwarded to Bonny, though, if already
shipped, they will doubtless prove very useful ; for it is more
difficult to procure wood in that than in most other African
rivers, owing to the prejudice of the natives against Kroo-
men cutting it.

I conceive it will be my duty to go to England by the first
opportunity from Ascension after my arrival, in order to lay
the exact condition of the expedition before their lordships,
and I have every reason to think I shall be able to arrive in
March, which would give me ample time to rejoin the ex-
pedition should their lordships require my further services.
I may state, for their Lordships' information, that the
Albert and Wilberforce could not proceed to England with
safety excepting in the summer months, and I consider the
Soudan as quite incapable of returning to Europe at all. I
am preparing to leave the Soudan in this sheltered harbour,
i►► charge of native-ship keepers; and as Captain Becroft has
promised to make his engineer light the, fires occasionally,
and work the engine, and as Lieutenant Blount, of the Pluto,
will be able to do the same when he comes into port, there is
every probability of the machinery being kept in good order.
I am in daily expectation of the arrival of the Golden
Spring, with fuel from England, of which there is scarcely
enough remaining here to fill the Albert's bunkers, the Pluto
having used a large quantity of our store. I hope a supply
of fuel may have been sent to Ascension before this time, so
as to enable us to keep the machinery of the vessels in good
order at that island.
I nave the honour to be, Sir,, your most obedient servant,
I-I. D. TROTTER, Captain.

The following are the names of officers and men of the
Niger expedition who have died between the Ist September,
1841 (the time of the vessels getting through the Delta of
the Niger, on the passage up, and of the first breaking out
of the "river fever " on board the Soudan), and the 25th of
October. 1811. The list does not include any who may have
died on the passage to Ascension in the Dolphin or Wilber-

In a still more auspicious hour for England were cele-
brated the baptismal rites of his eldest son, the renowned
Edward 111., who came like a dove of peace to heal the
deadly quarrel between the insurgent barons of England and
their angry sovereign, and to prove, for a blessed interval,
the sweet bond of union between his estranged parents.
This Prince was born at Windsor, on the 13th of Novem-
ber, and four days afterwards was baptized with great splen-
dour in the old chapel of St. Edward. The uncle of Queen
Isabella and the rest of the French nobles who were at the
court of his royal parents, were urgent with the King to allow
his heir to be called Louis, but the English nobles, always
averse to a foreign name, insisted that the princely boy should
be baptized by none other than that of Edward. The cere-
mony was performed by the Cardinal Arnold, and the infant
Prince had no less than seven godfathers, but there is not the
name of one godmother recorded.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 24.
There was an increased quantity of English Wheat at market this
morning, and several runs left over from Friday. making in the
whole a fair supply, excepting for selected qualities of white, of
which there was very little here; prices have declined 12s per qr.
The sale of foreign is very fiat, and i►► some instances less money
has been taken ; in bonded we did not hear of any business being
transacted. Barley is an exceedingly dull sale, and last week's
currency was barely supported. White Peas were Is dearer, but
there was no alteration in maple and grey, and Beans remain as
before quoted. There is a complete stagnation in the Oat trade
to-day.

PRESENTATION OF COLOURS TO THE 72n
HIGHLANDERS, BY THE DUKE OF WELLING-
TON.

This morning, the weather appearing so very unfavourable
for an out-door military display, the arrangements which had
been made connected with the presentation of new colours to
the 72d Highlanders in the Quadrangle at the castle were
countermanded ; but the rain subsiding shortly after twelve
o'clock, orders were sent to the barracks for the regiment to
parade in review order in the Quadrangle, at half-past twelve
o'clock. Shortly afterwards the regiment moved from the
barracks to the castle, passing into the Quadrangle through
St. George's Gateway. Here the regiment formed line, ex-
tending across the whole length of the square, the grenadiers
being wheeled up on their left, and the light company and
No. I wheeled up on the right, there not being sufficient space
for the regiment in line. . . .

. . .
A few minutes after their formation, notice was given of
the approach of Field Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wel-
lington, who was received with a general salute, the fine hand
of the regiment, at the same time, playing " See the Con-
quering Hero comes." Almost immediately afterwards his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, with his illustrious guests and
relatives, the King of Prussia, Prince Frederick of Saxe
Coburg, &c., with their respective suites, made their appear..
ance, and were received with a royal salute, the old colours
being lowered to royalty for the last time.

The majors of the regiment then went forward and took
possession of the new colours. The ceremony of their con-
secration was afterwards performed, by the desire of the
Queen, by his Grace the Archbishop of York (who was on
a visit to her Majesty), in a most solemn and emphatic
