EAdvertisemenC ATx soN'sO S BEAR'S GREASE, for the growth of Hair, genuine as imlported. This article is now confi- dently recommended to publicenotice, on the basis of experience it having produced the most beneficial effiects ; and as itC pecuilar nutritive properties are now so universally admitted, it is onlyv ne- cessaryto say hat the genuine is enclosed in a wrapper, witfi the importer's signature and addiess. Sold by J. Atkinson, perfiumer, 44, Gerrard-street, Soho-squwe, and most perfumers. tAdvertisement.1-Themosteminent ofheFaculty have acknow- ledged that the greatest nourisher of the human hair is ROWLAND'S aIACASSAR OIL, whieh adds such an auxiliary of strength to the hair as to produce strong and lasting eurls, prevents the hair from being injured, preserves it to the latest period of life, promotes a luxuriant growtl on the balbest places, renders hair that is harsh anl dry as soft as silk, and adds a beautiful gloss: in fine, itgives the most fascinating and delectable appearance to the hair of ladies, gentlemen, and children-produce; whiskers, eye-brows, &a Par- ticular caution is necessary in purchasing: each genuine bottle is signed, in red ink, " A.

The disagrceable etfects occasioned by tee small-tooth comb, which destroys the texture of the skin, and causes an increase of dandrifF, is entirely obviated by the use of this Brush, whicl not only clears away the existing scurf, but by strengthening the roots of the hair, renders it less likely to accumulate in future. As seve- ral imitations have appeared, observe that the words "Ross and Sons' invention" are stamped o; eacb, with " Union" on the bacl, or they are spurious imitations, and will not have the desired efciet, being generallyofa most inferior description.

) Lw YJt5l-5HANCELtT.OR gave judgment in this case- His I.oonur atated, that the bill was filed by the plaintifTx, Mtrs. Noel and Mrs. Plumtree, who claimed to he entitled tn equal sharet in a sum of 15,0091., under the will of their father. Bv the terms of the nill, that sum, it was directcd, should be divided into three equal portions, and that one should be paid to eaeh of his tlhree daughters, oi whom Lady EdwArd O'Brien was the third. The plaintiff, bowever, contenoled, that the latter lady was not entitled to take -yrv share in the bequest, because she had relinquishled all the interest -w-iici she Might have or expect to have under her father's will, in c,nsequence of his having given lier in hiis life-time 10,0001. as a m:Trriage portion. In pursuance of tilis arrangement, a colicil tvas :atAahed to the will of the rbterer, i2 whlieh it was provided for. Trie terms in whlich this codicil was coneeived were somewhat obscure, a-id had given rise to doubts whether it was really the intention of -the testator that the portion which lhe hal Kiven to his daughter should exclude her from all benefit urnder his will. To set these doubts at rest, the suit now before the Court waa instituted. The circumn,tance nf the will having beee made befoTre the marriage of Lady Edward O'Brien, anti of the codicil haviag been added subse- suently to that event, must have considerable weight in aicling the decision of this case. His Honour lIad examined with great caution the whole of the doc"tments, and the result of his consideration was, that it was not the intention of the father that Lady Edward O'Brien .should share in that saim which, before her marriage, he had in- tended ae a provision, for his three daughlters, because shie had alreadv received from another part of his fortur,e a larger share than lie hail before appropriated for her. Hie therefore decreed in favour of the leaver of the bill, and directed that the sum of 15,0001. should be divided in equal pronortions between .Irs. Noel and Mrs. Plumtree, to the exclusion of Lady E3dwvard O'Brien. VICECHiANCELL(OR'S COURT, SATITUDAY, OCT. 13. I -m 11 h V. LOBD WAT.qTGNGIAM.

It is not easy to divine upon what principle the Lords of tbe'Treasurv have vithheld the payment for so loig a time. It was at first stated by the prize-agent, in reply to applications on the sub. ect, that he was given to understand by their Lordships, that it was a disputed point between llis Mlajesty's Government and the East India C whpany, which partv ought to pay the mnoney . but he now say, that the Treasury have consented to pay the mone but that they require more documents, although he has repeatedly inforned their Lordships, that it was quite impossible to procureany mnore.

When the Alien Bill was last under dis`ussoin in P'ar- liamient, Atr. PEEt L described it as,an eisnilai mitigation of that arbitrary and unconstitOtional measure, that all tuch foreigners as couldprove a seven years' "residence" ir the. United Kiftgdnrm, would be thenceforth released from its grasp. 'the Minister toolc full credit for this in- dulgence.-and we are willing to believe that he didnot intenid the clause as a merely colourable, but as a bond fide provision on behalf of a certain c1ass of Aliens ; it is, therefore, as mnsh to bring the stbSeet ntider M'i.

A merchaht In the city of Lon(don, having called withitn these few days at the Alien Office, to take out his certificate as a seveni years' resident in England, was asked wliether he could under- take to say that, daring the period of seven years, he had never been fo,r a single day out of the king. don. fThe gentleman was unable to carry his deciara- den so far, and was refused his certificate. It is to be ob- served, that for nine years past this foreigne& has carried on business, and has during that time rented constantly a dwelling-house and counting-house in London. In order, therefore, to establish the correctness of the meaning as- signed to the term tf residence" by the Alien-office, it must be laid down that an expetlition to Calais by one steant- boat, and a returfn by the next, will work a defeazauce of the new clause in the bill, and reinstate the Secretary of the Home Departmnent in the full plenitude of that abso. lexe power over Aliens which he protessel with such ex- emplary temper andl moderation to abanrdon.

The Times, 1824-07-20T00:00:00

A fresh code of instructions has issued from the Admi- ralty for establishing an amended system of food and allow- ances to the warrant-officers, seamen, and marines of the fleet. Ve see with satisfaction that one very prominent article in this new plan is the diminution of the quantity of spirits hitherto distribuited to the British seamen, and the substitution of other comforts, such as beer, tea, coffce, flour, and an increase of 2s. per mnonth in the pay. It is, we believe, beyond a doubt that the health of the British seaman was gradually undermined by the constant use of half a pint of spirits per diem, his mind frequently inflamed to turbulence, and the duties of the service impeded. It is to be hoped that the tnen will receive the improved arrange- ment in the same temper in which it has been framed for their benefit.
