Restorative, still continues TO labor in behalf

His medicines are universally admitted by
the American press to be far superior To all
others for causing the HAIR on the head of the
aged that has been silvcred for many years
to grow forth with as much vigor and luXu-
Rance as when blessed with the advantages
Of youth.
There can be no doubt that it is one Of the
greatest discoveries Of the medical world. 1t

WASHINGTON, April l5.-Thc Secretary of
the Navy, owing to the pressure Of other bu-
sncss, has not acted on the findings in the
four cases decided by the Naval Board of In
quiry. The seals are not even broken
The Union will appear tomorrow under
the auspices of the new editor Colonel Car
ter, of Pennsylvania, has been retained as as
ss;ant. The report that Edmund Bcrke and
Others have been engaged is untrue.
The administration have been officially adj
viscd by Messrs. Morse and Boulin Of their
unsuccessful efforts to treat with the Govern
ment of New Granada. The affairs of the
Isthmus were to-day matter of Cabinet con-
sultation, and excluded all other subjects.
Our government resolved that American
rights in that quarter shall be respected, and
will shortly send thither four or five vessels
with such instructions to the commanders as
will, it is believed, consumate the object and
lead to a settlement Of the existing difficulties.
The administration is determined to take o
decided stand.
The third Naval Court of Inquiry will meet
on Monday. 1t will be composed Of Captains
Kearncy, Newton and Storer, none Of whom
were promoted by the late retiring board.
