THE PROPERTIES OF LARtcH TIre. flER.-Somce observations having appeared in this paper on the in- tended new bridge over the Thames, in which the vriter states his expectation tbat, except in those parts where timber should be ne- cessary, its duration would probably be without end, the author of those observations, and the committee for conducting the work, are recoimmended to peruse Eveiyn's Sylva, and the books referred to bv him, on the properties of the'larch, and the uses to wvhich it has ages ago been applied in the buildings in Venice and othter parts of Italy (of which tnat tree is a native); bv which it is demonstrated, that if larch timber were used in the founrdation of the intended new bridge, even the parts necessarilymadenf timber would beas durable as iron_ that wood having the quality of increasing in hardness indei water, so as to resist the sharpest tools, as was demonstrated by the state of a ship found in the Xumidian Sea, which bad lain in water l,400 years. The superior durability of the larch to other firs, when ex- posed to the efl'ecct of the atmosphere, have long been fully ascer- tained in this country.

This article is procured from the animal in its native clirnate, and is sold geiuine as imported, ,vith. out alteration or addition of any kind, except a little perfume to keep it sweet. Sold by most perfitmers and medicine venders. LAdvertisemrent.]-Nothingbas conduced sa much to the improve- ment of the human hafr as BEARL'S GREASE. In most cases when it is in a declining or debilitated state, it may be completely renovated by its use, provided the hair is properly cut by an experienced hand once a fortnight while in that weak state. The difficulty is, to ob- tain the grease enutine, as it is a thing so easily imitated that many have complamned of- its want of efficacy froir having used a spurious article. To prevent thiis, the public are requested to observe, that Ross and Soqs, No. 119, Bishopsgate-street, who for the last 50 years have sold it pure and unadulterated, cannot warrait'any that hlas not their name affixed to the pot; but with their signature they may be assured of its genuineness, as the animals are regualarly fattened and killed by,thers. N. B. It mav be obtaineEd either per- fumed or otherwise, as most agreeable; and every accommodation is offered to those ladies and gentlemen who may wish to have their hair properly arranged, they having opened several additional rooms for that purpose.
