THIS faithful assistant of nature has, from intrinsic worth alone, during the last half century, acquired the ESPECIAL PATRONAGE of the several SOVEREIGNS and COURTS and with RANK, FASHION, and Disci3iiN-MEXT^%upersede6 all preparations of pro- fessedly similar import. This Oil is pre-eminently successful in nourishing, i. mproving and beautifying the Human Hair, in all climates, and in all stages of existence. The following Is a brief notice of some of its PRINCIPAL VIRTUES, as a mild stimulative, corrective, and preservative agent, for the HAIR. The subject is more fully treated in a small Pamphlet which accompanies each bottle of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and wherein important hints and advice will be found on the Culture of the Hair in infancy, and on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of hwnm life. INFANCY.—Its balsamic properties nourish the Hair in its embryo state, accelerate its growth, sustain it in niaturity, and continue the possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy, to the latest period of human life. Genial and purifying, it dispels all scurf and impurity, and renders the use of the fine comb unnecessary. BALDNESS.—Its re-productive powers are constantly and surprisingly shown in cases of Baldness from what- soever cause arising (proved by numerous testimonials open for inspection at the Proprietors,) in eliciting Unerringly, from the latent stem the active progression of vitality, so that in numerous instances where other Specifics have been tried in vain, ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of art by re-instating 1n full plenitude of beauty the permanent graces and utilities of nature. GREY HAIR.—Its nourishing properties are eminently successful in the PRETENTION of Grey Hair, and in the RESTORATION to its original colour-also proved by testimonials. f, WHISKERS AND MOCSTACHIOS.—Its extraordinary fecundity is singularly displayed in creating these orna- nlents of manhood, and in the production of strong and beautiful Hair. CURL AND EMBELLISHMENT.—Its invigorating pro- perties induce a strong tendency to curl: on Artificial air it bestows a look of vitality and lightness—sustain- g the Head Dress in all the beauties of decorative forma- hon, glossy curl, and silky softness, unimpaired by the eated atmosphere of crowded rooms, or damp weather. SEA-BATHING AND VIOLENT EXERCISE.—After in- d igmg in either of these, so apt in their consequence ( ) opening the pores) to exhaust the nourishing matter secreted at the roots of the bulbs of the Hair, the Macas- sar Oil will be found most efficacious, both in preserving and in immediately restoring the hair to its usual appear- ance of health with renovated brightness. CLIMATE.—This inestimable Oil preserves its virtues Unimpaired by change of climate, and is alike in use from the frigid to the torrid zone, from the assemblies of St. Petersburg to those of Calcutta and the remote East. C.UTIO-Un principled shop-keepers, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious trash under the title of "MACASSAR OIL:" It is therefore imperative on Purchasers to see that the *°rds ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL are in two  on the Wrapper of each bottle, and on the inside Of the wrapper nearly 1,500 tinp.ining 29,028 let, 1rice 3s. 6d., 7s.—Family Bottles (equal to 4 small) lo s. 6d. and double that size, 21s. per Bottle.

THE EARL 0L D B 0 R 006 CURED BY HOLLOW AY'S PILLS. Extract of a Letter from the Earl of Aldborough, dated Villa Messina, Leghorn, 21st Feb 1845. TO PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. Sm,- Various circumstances prevented the possibility of my thanking you before this time for your politeness 1n sending me your Pills as you did. I now take this opportunity of sending you an order for the amount, and Ilt the same time, to add that your Pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect; nay! not eVen the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad.

CAUTION.-All Persons advertising Succedaneum for Stopping decayed teeth, fraudulently attempt to imitate Mr. Clarke's original Succedaneum and if any Succedaneum than Mr. Clarke's be purchased, it will be discovered useless. Mr. Clarke can say, without the slightest exaggeration, that he has sold 3,000 bottles of Succedaneum within 16 months; & 2,800 individuals have been able to use it successfully; and most of the other pur- cliasershave been to,Nlr.Clarke, athis residence, 61, Lower Grosvenor-Street, London, to have their teeth stopped, without any further charge than the original cost of the Succedaneum, price 5s.

FOR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH, HOWEVER LARGE THE CAVITY. Patronised by Her Majesty the Queen Dowaaer, TTer Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, His Grace the Duke of Wellington, and the principal Nobility. Mr. CLARKE'S SUCCEDANEUM for Stopping Decayed Teeth is far superior to anything ever used before, as it is placed in the tooth without any pressure or pain, be- comes as hard as the enamel immediately after applica- tion, and remains firm in the tooth for life not only rendering extraction unnecessary, but also making them again useful for mastication. All persons can use Mr. CLARKE'S Succedaneum themselves with ease, as full directions are enclosed (price os.) and sold by all res- pectable medicine-vendors in town and country, and can be sent by post on receiving a Post-office order.—Pre- pared only by Mr. Clarke, Surgeon-dentist, 61, Grosvenor Street, Bond Street, (removed from 53, Harley-Street, Cavendish-Square. ) LOSS OF TEETH. Mr. CLARKE still continues to supply the loss of teeth, from one to a complete set, upon his beautiful system of self-adhesion, which has procured him such universal approbation in some thousands of cases; and recom- mended by Sir James Clark, bart., M.D., and Dr. Locock, Physicians to Her and numerous other mem- bers of the medical profession, as being the most in- genious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented. They are so contrived, as to adapt themselves over the most tender gums or remaining stumps without causing the least pain, rendering the operation of ex- traction quite unnecessary and in order that his system may be within the reach of the most economical, he will continue the same moderate charges.—Mr. Clarke, Sur- geon-dentist, No. 61, Grosvenor-Street, Bond-Street, London.—At home from eleven till foitr.

THOMAS and HOWARD continue to supply the Los; of Teeth without springs or wires upon their new system of SELI-AjJHESION, which has procured them such uni- versal approbation, and is recommended by numerous Physicians and Surgeons as being the most ingenious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining stumps without causing the least pain, rendering the operation of extracting quite unnecessary. They are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth where the gums have shrunk from the use to calomel or other causes. rhey also beg to invite those not liking to undergo any painlul operation, as practised by most members of the profession, to inspect their painless yet etlective system and in order that their improvements mdv be within'the reach of the most economical, they will cori- tinue the same moderate charges.

CONSERVATIVE CONFUSION. !
CONSERVATIVE CONFUSION. [From the Herald.) I There is no trick more common among the Whigs than that of consoling themselves and taunting their adversaries, after every defeat, with such language as this:—"Well, if you won't have us, you must have our measures. There's your Sir R. Peel, he'll make you take, at his hands, the very propositions you re- jected at the hands of Lord J. Russell." This kind of talk is so consolatory to their own wounded feelings, and so fraught with injury and dis- union to the Conservatives, that it is no wonder we are perpetually hearing it. But the most direct and po- sitive assertion of this kind that we have had of late was that dropped by Mr. Adeane, at the Cambridgeshire meeting, last week. This gentleman, a very respectable Whig, who for- merly represented that county, and who probably hopes to represent it again, said :-He would tell them one thing which he knew to be a fact. A letter had been received by a Whig lord-lieutenant of a great county from Lord J. Russell, in which Lord John said, I am confident that Sir R. Peel will propose such measures as I shall be able to support." Such measures as he, Lord John, will be able to support! Why Lord John, in his letter to the electors of London, threw entirely overboard the very principle of protec- tion! In what way can he support, then, anything short of total repeal and in what way can Sir Robert Peel propose total repeal with any regard to his own character ? The story is incredible as far as Sir Robert Peel is concerned and we notice it merely as a new in- stance of the old Whig manoeuvre of which we have already spoken. True, the parties to this fiction are all of a high class-Lord John himself, Mr. Adeane, and a lord-lieutenant; but what, after all, does the old story amount to beyond this ? That A., a Whig, hears from B., another Whig, that C., a third Whig, is con- fident" that Sir Robert Peel is about to join the League. We shall not impugn the honour, or question the veracity, of either of these three gentlemen. Yet, we must remind our readers, that it is not from Lord John Russell that we have any right to expect any informa- tion of Sir Robert Peel's views and intentions. And at the same time we must observe, that if Lord John had any wish to do Sir Robert Peel an injury, he could not have taken a more direct course to obtain that end. The reliance of the Conservative party on Sir R. Peel—nay, the general reliance, as shown in the instant recovery of the funds—rises chiefly from a conviction that he will propose measures which are not likely to obtain the support of Lord John, or of Mr. Bright or of Mr. Cobden. A very different story is current among Mr. Adeane's friend at Brooks's. It is there said that Lord John has written to Sir Robert Peel, to assure him that if he will but bring forward a total repeal measure, he shall have the entire and cordial support of the whole Whig party; but that if, on the other hand, he offers to par- liament any middle course-any compromise—any plan of compensation—he is to expect the most strenuous and determined opposition from all whom Lord John can influence. Further reports add, moreover, that there is an increas- ing dissatisfaction among the Liberals," at the manner in which certain who profess to be "leaders,"answer for, and offer to dispose of the votes of all who usually sit on that side of the House.
I AN APOLOGY FOR THE LEAGUE.I
I AN APOLOGY FOR THE LEAGUE. I [From the Times.] It is impossible to advocate any political cause tem- perately. Large bodies of men will not assemble to hear temperate addresses. Public speakers will not address them in the bland and moderate tones of sermon-like dullness. Where men have an object at heart they must throw heart and soul into their mode of advocating it. They must breathe into it life, energy, animation. It was the poet's declaration, that he who would draw tears from others must first weep himself. It is the rhetorician's craft that he who would inspire his fellows with a determinate resolution must be animated by it himself. Hence hyperbole, glowing declamation, rapid invective, highly-coloured description, words and terms of menace, and hints at ulterior designs. Gentlemen protectionists, you blame all this-gentle agriculturists, you say it's wrong. Be it so. Concede the point. Assume that the Leaguers do not believe all they pro- fess to believe vicious in the corn-law or hopeful in free trade. Grant this. But we reply, it is human nature. Without declamation, without all the signs and actions of intense determination, no public man, no set of men ever yet achieved anything. Luther, Knox, Cromwell, in bygone days Chatham, Fox, Grey, Erskine, Can- ning, even Wilberforce, in ours, have been men of phraseology too violent to please the delicate ears of your moderate men. But they had objects in view. With those they identified themselves for those they lived, and they spoke as men who lived for a purpose. They spoke with fire, impetuosity, and exaggeration but had they not spoke so, where would now be one half of those glorious victories which have been won by justice over wrong, by mercy over cruelty, by liberty over tyranny ? They did not measure their phrases, or pare down their sentences to a drawing room standard of niceness and good breeding, but they spoke out in the fullness of their hearts, and the hearts of myriads responded as to a trumpet clang. They had been irritated by opposition, fired by contumely, stung into violence by long and protracted resistance. The re- sistance they met with gave them alacrity and vigour, and in each new effort which they made they were se- conded bv the aspirations and the wishes even of mo- derate and quiet men. So it has ever been. So is it now with the League. Its numerical strength perhaps consists in a measure of men friendly to adjustments, compromises, mutual concessions. But wherein does the vital strength of the League consist ? In the unbending, unyielding, implacable resolution, fixed purpose, and insatiable de- mands of its chief men. This is the secret of its suc- cess as it must be the secret of success with every body of men confederated for a definite project. Does anybody imagine that a congregation of quiet, smooth. tongued moderate men could have endangered the exis- tence of a Ministry, and disputed political power with the territorial aristocracy of England ? It is a great lesson, and worth remembering. There are statesmen young enough in the present Cabinet to profit by it. Let them learn, and remember, there is no danger so great as resisting moderate claims until patience sulks into indignation, and the placid tempers of mild but thoughtful men are kindled by the declama- tions of the violent, and braced by the energies of the bold, into one united and resolute course of action.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.I
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I The Royal mail steam-packet Acadia, Capt. Harrison, arrived in the Mersey on Thursday, at nine o'clock. She left Boston on the 1st and Halifax on the 3rd instant. She brings New York papers to the 31st ult. THE OREGON QUESTION. This subject continues, almost to the exclusion of all others, to occupy the attention of all parties, and although there is considerable blustering and ultra de- clarations by many parties, we may consider the news altogether as of a pacific nature. In the Senate, on the 18th, the following resolution, introduced by Mr. Allen, was read a first time. The second reading, though urged, was rejected That the President of the United States be and he is hereby advised to give, forthwith, notice to the Government of Great Britain that the Government of the United States will, in virtue of the second article of the Convention of the 6th August, A. D. 1827, between the United States and Great Britain relative to the joint occupancy of the Oregon Territory, and after the expiration of twelve months from the day on which notice shall have been recei ved by the Government of Great Britain, annul and abrogate that Convention. In the Senate on the 29th ult., Mr Hannegan sub- mitted a series of resolutions, concluding as follows — That the abandonment or surrender of any portion of the territory uf Oregon would be an abandonment of the honour, character, and the best interests of the American people." On the following day, Mr. Calhoun opposed the mo- tion for the printing of these resolutions, and sustained the Administration. The discussion was going on when the report left. The correspondent of the Commercial Advertiser, writing on the 27th ult., says :-It gives me great satis- faction to inform you that measures are in progress here which will certain ly lead to a happy termination of all difficulties with Great Britain as to the Oregon ques- tion. Through Mr. Calhoun's address, conferences were held yesterday and to-day between the leading Whig and the leading Democratic members of both Houses on the subject, at which the following con- clusions were reached, namely 1. That there should be no war until compromise and arbitration were exhausted. 2. That no rash measures should pass Congress. 3. That Mr. Douglas's joint resolutions, assigned for Tuesday, January 6th, should be postponed. 1 may add, that Mr. Webster's information is, that the I British Governmpnt will accept the offer of cornpronllse made by Mr. Polk."

A NOBLE CELEBRATION OF CHRISTMAS.—At mid- night, on Christmas-eve, in Berlin, all the licensed houses of ill-fame were closed for ever, by order of the authorities. Whatever debts had been incurred by the unfortunate women towards the proprietors of these es- tablishments, were discharged, and they were afterwards dispatched to their relations in the country. Surely such stringent but admirable measure3 are not undeserving of iiiiitati,.)n
THE TROUBLES OF THE TORIES.…
THE TROUBLES OF THE TORIES. I [From the Iloit.] I No doubt of it. It is mainly our own fault that we stand where we do. Don't let us blink the mat- ter. It certainly is not very honest, and really not very wise to do so. Far better is it to speili out, and frankly acknowledge that, mainly to our own egregious error, must we ascribe the existing strength and menacing aspect of the enemies of British industry. Of course we have much to say about false and treacherous friends. Of course we can affirm, with justice, that we have been deceived, swindled, robbed. This we know to be the case, and knowing it so to be, this we ought to declare. Still very foolish would it be to stop with such a declaration. It must be acknowledged very pleasant to unmask a knave, and very proper too. We put a spoke in his wheel—we end the career of his fraud. Let him in- dulge himself in his spoils; care has been taken he shall not swell their amount. All this is very proper. We are not to be taken in again in the same way, but let us take care we are not the victims of another fraud similar in kind but as- suming another appearance. Fraud, let us recollect, has as many disguises as even Mr. Obbard himself, can take every variety of shape, suit all characters, play all sorts of parts- "Orpheus in sylvis, inter dclphinas, Anon." A veracious traveller has described the fashion with which owls are killed in the western parts of North America. Some one approaches a tree on a branch of which an owl is seated. He attracts the bird's attention, who fixes its eyes on him. Gradually he walks round the tree, followed by the earnest gaze of ihe bird, which turning its head round and round, at "last forgets to turns body, and consequently wrings off its own head, which drops at the hunter's feet. Now, there is no hiding the fact, Sir Robert Peel has taken a lesson out of the traveller's book. The fault, however, lies with the owls. It is that absurd and ir- rational admiration—that disgraceful adulation which a few interested persons first paid to Sir Robert Peel, which has done the mischief. Echoed by unthinking and unwitting honesty, glad to get rid of the disgraceful abomination of a Whig Government, it is this foolish and unmeasured applause that has enabled Sir Robert Peel to inflict such serious injury upon the cause of Bri- tish industry. People had got sick of the Whigs, who, politically speaking, were neither virtuous nor cared to be so thought—whose incapacity and dishonesty were patent, and whose blunders in speech and action were not only hurtful but even offensive. People were glad to get rid of a revolting system of government that was even more shameful in its professions than it was in- jurious in its conduct; and as Sir Robert Peel had opposed this party with uniform dexterity and usually with success, into his arms, with loving confidence, the Conservative party threw themselves. Peel became to them everything. He was the bul- wark that shielded them from the angry surges of Whig- gery. He was to them more than a leader—to them he was even a principle. Five of the North American sachems expressed their gratification at hearing from an early English missionary that the sun had continued to shine in England, although William III. was dead. Credulous Conservatism be- lieved that with Peel every ray of light or hope would be extinguished. The people's pray'r, the glad diviner's theme, The young men's vision, and the old men's dream." The wealth, the intelligence, the right-hearted and truth-seeking of England lent him, in trusting confi- dence, the right arm of their strength, and hailed, in his accession to power, the advent of happier days for the country whose destinies were resigned to his charge. We say all this was a grievous fault-a. fault for which, if Peelism triumphs so far as to become a permanent prevailing element hereafter in our consti- tutional polity, these our present days will be impeached at the bar of a suffering posterity. The eagle lent his feather to the arrow that afterwards Quivered in his heart." It was the agriculturists that gave the torch to the hand that shall now fire the fatal train A bitter ex- piation for a most outrageous folly A heavy punish- ment for a blind and overweening confidence. It is better to think rightly on such a matter than merely to vent our anger on Sir Robert Peel. Speak as yon will of Sir Robert Peel-be as angry with him as you choose, and vent on him an indignation which those who have trusted in him since he began to disown his principles, ought in fairness to share with him- still we do not well see what now is open to him but an union with the League. Any port in a storm. Indeed, having gone so far as he has, the best-we believe the only—thing for the Minister to do is at once to embark in the same boat with his cotton friends, and, helped by their aid, to face the coming blast. It is j better that a man should have some principle than none at all, and this even although the principle be not of the best sort. Sir Robert Peel will not-a great satisfaction we must say-be able to humbug his new friends as he humbugged his old ones. Manchester is not to be caught by chaff, and Stockport knows fine words butter no parsnips. The arts that prevailed in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, and many a shire besides, will lose all their virtue when practised on the astute long-headed lords of cotton prints and iron nails. These men, so famous in doing" the foreigner-these men who can pass off cast-iron for true steel—these men, so cunning in manufactures intended not for use but for sale- these men, who talked about the liberties of the people, who subscribed their guineas on behalf of the West Indian slave, that they might divert the pulilic eye from spying out the slave they themselves held in thraldom at home—these men are not simple enough to be caught by the best baited trap the craftiest of Ministers could lay. A Leaguer, Sir Robert Peel cannot flinch. His new friends are positive people, and suspicious people. They will closely look after him. Deserters are usually watched with extra vigilance, and the opportunities for new treacheries will be denied the expertest adept in treacherous devices. The glozing tongue-the ready casuistry—the never-failing skill in splitting hairs, and insisting on distinctions which are no distinctions at all —all these, the cunning of the political trickster, will serve him no turn in the camp of his new allies. As well might Grisi seek to soothe into submission an hun- gry bear with syren strains—Jullien might as well hope the wave of his baton would conquer the ferocity of a wounded tiger. The League will stand "no nonsense." We don't envy Sir Robert! If we have rightly explained the source of the present evil to which true Conservatism stands now exposed, no doubt can there be what true Conservatism has now io do. Warned by the past, there must be no mistake for the future. Circe is very well in her way. Her en- chantments are all very pleasant, no doubt. But those who are not ignorant of her designs are fools, if they suffer themselves again to be her dupes. The safety of England rests upon the power, the su- premacy of TIlE COUNTRY PARTY, faithful to principles, true to the country, determined, amidst the rage of factions and defections of friends, to uphold a consti- tution whose chief glory it is that it yields protection not only to the wealth of the rich, but to industry, the choicest heritage of the poor. We had such a party once, and its members were the pride and strength of the country. They ne'er at levee meanly fawned, Nor was their honour yearly pawned; They served the crown with loyal zeal, Yet, jealous of the public weal, They stood the bulwark of our laws, And wore at heart their country's cause

REPRESENTATION OF LiclIFIFLD. LICHFIELD, THURSDAY NIGHT.—No candidate has yet declared him- self as successor to Lord Leveson. It is, however, as- certained that Lord Waterpark, the trustee of Lady Lichfield (not of Lord Anson), will not be brought for- ward in the Lichfield interest, but that the Whig can- didate will be Mr. Mostyn, another gentleman connected with the family property. The Conservatives, or "Peel- ers," are on the alert. Captain Dyott is the gentleman naturally looked to in this interest, but it is understood that the gallant officer will not offer himself unless ope- rated upon by a strong requisition. In the absence of Captain Dyott, a gentleman of high standing on the Oxford circuit, should a contest occur, will be introduced to the electors of Lichfield. There can be little doubt that in case of a contest, the election will be extremely close. Lichfield, previous to the Reform Bill, and ever since, has been considered a close family borough. The Conservatives have fought several battles, but have been invariably beaten by small majorities. These are inclined once more to assert their constitutional rights circum- stances will, in the course of a few days, determine the course they intend to pursue. FRIGHTFUL STATE OF LIMERICK.—The state of this district appears to be daily growing worse. On Sunday night a party of the Annadoy police, while on patrol near the demesne of General Sir Richard Burke, were attacked by an armed party of Ribbonmen, upon whom they came by surprise, in a borren (narrow road). Shots were fired and the police attempted to take some of the fellows prisoners, but without effect. Two of the police were wounded,—one desperately, the other but slightly. I Several of the Ribbonmen must have suffered, as the police fired repeatedly into groups of them; but they succeeded in carrying off their wounded. A reinforce- ment left the city of Limerick on Monday morning to aid the Annadoy party. A farmer, named Leahy, was shot at Drumhanney, on Sunday night, for taking a farm in despite of a threatening notice previously served upon him. LonD JOHN ReSSELL AT GLASGOW.—The principal political event of the past week was the public ap- pearance oi Lord John Russell at Glasgow, ostensibly to receive, in due form, the freedom of that city, but with the view, also, it would appear, of affording the opportunity of an imposing demonstration in favour of free trade, and in furtherance of the movement for the repeal of the corn-laws. As well as the ceremony of presentation in the Town Hall, which was a brilliant affair, the noble lord was afterwards magnificently feted by the Lord Provost, along with upwards of a hundred Scottish noblemen and gentlemen; and upon both occasions the speeches of the noble leader of the Liberal party abounded with evidences of his entire devotion to the cause of commercial freedom, and his fixed determination to stand in the foremost ranks of that gallant band whose war against protection" will, to all appearance, be crowned with victory. The nobe lord alluded but briefly—and necessarily so-to his recent unsuccessful attempt to construct an administra- tion but the day of explanation, he told them, would arrive as soon as Parliament met—" and when that day of explanation does arrive," he observed, I trust you will find that I did not shrink from the assertion of all the principles contained in my letter to the electors of the city of London." To those principles he again pledged himself. What the measure respecting the corn-laws to be proposed by Sir Robert Peel might be, the noble lord declared he knew no more than they did or how the right hon. baronet had agreed with his remaining colleagues, with whom he had differed, and who had again consented to serve under him. But of this lie expressed his strong conviction, that unless it was for a total repeal, not only would it fail to satisfy the country, but would lead the friends of monopoly and protection to take heart the more vigorously to oppose it. He avowed his belief that such a measure might at first be defeated but that if it were formed on broad and extensive principles, no power in this country could long resist it, backed as it would be by the de- termined will of the people. There was one other significant feature in his lordship's declarations. Hitherto he had been vcry chary of his compliments to the League but he took this opportunity of bestowing upon that body his cordial commendation, and upon some of its leading members his unqualified praise, generously admitting that to their exertions is it mainly owing that the question of commercial freedom has made such triumphant progress,-Atlas. THE MILITlA.-The public, we believe, are aware of the fact of an official circular having been issued from the Horse Guards respecting the probable embodi- ment of the militia. On account of such circular and other steps already taken, much interest and anxiety have been manifested, and many vague rumours have found free circulation upon the subject. Now, respecting the calling out, it should be recollected that the act of Parliament authorizing the ballot for the militia has been suspended many years. The result of this is, that the alterations in the amount of population of the country must necessarily lead to a very different distri- bution of the quota to be furnished by each county. It is perhaps not known to many that during the recess of Parliament nothing can be done to ascertain such quota without an order in Council directing this to be done, by the delivery of notices at the houses of those liable to be drawn for this service, upon which return is formed the necessary information to found this data. It is not likely now that an order in Council will be issued, but that immediately on the meeting of Parlia- ment a bill will be brought in to authorize this measure, and the first step then will be to obtain the particulars above referred to as a part of the necessary measures for carrying out the intention of Parliament. Upon this being done the ballot for each county follows, and then the orders of Government as to the duty to be performed. With respect to the various rumours as to a permanent embodiment for active service for any length of time there are not at the present any substantial grounds for believing such will be the ease, but the chance is, that the various corps will be placed on duty for a period of 28 days only, and that so far carrying out the measure will sufficiently put the Government in posses- sion of the knowledge of the amount of means available, should any unexpected emergency arise. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A SON BY HIS FATHER. —A dreadful attempt to murder his own son, by a man named Lowe, was made at Brenifjrd on Wednesday. The following are the facts :—About twenty minutes to firven. fiffjitlp of that day, as Mr. Rowles, butch-, er at"fd;orth, wás passing the Great Western road, a short distance from Brentford bridge, he. saw a shoe- maker named John Lowe run out of "bis own shop, holding b.is,hand to his right side, and exclaiming that 1 he was stabbed, and was a dead man, and hastening to the house of Mr. Millard, the George and Dragon public-house, a door or two off, into which he entered. Mr. Rowles rushed into Lowe's house for the purpose of securing the supposed murderer, when, in a back room behind the shop, he discovered Thomas Lolye, .the fhtheir', sitting in a chair with his threat cut, from which the blood was flowing profusely, the wounded man having still a razor in his right hand, which was covered with blood. Medical assistance was immediately pro- cured, and on their wounds being examined, the son was found to have been stabbed under his right arm, near the back, the weapon having entered just under the blade-bone of the right shoulder while the father's wound is also on the right side of the neck, the razor having just missed the principal arteries and vessels. Policeman Smith stated that, on his reaching the house, he found Thomas Lowe lying on the floor in the back room in a state of great exhaustion from the flow of blood from the wound in his throat, and when questioned as to the cause of his making the attempts upon his son's and his own life, he said he had been cruelly treated by his son, and that he was very sorry that he had not effec- tually cut his own throat; that he had meant to cut the jugular vein, but had missed it, and that he hoped he might die. On Smith inquiring about the instrument with which the stab had been inflicted, a table knife, with the point recently sharpened and in a very bloody state, was handed to that officer by a young woman, named Millard, who stated that she found it near the counter, close to the spot where the stab is supposed to have been given. It appears that Thomas Lowe, the father, has been a serjeant-major in a regiment of the line, and is in the receipt of a pension of Sd. per diem. For some years, and until very recently, he kept a boot and shoe shop in Old Brentford, which he gave up about four or five months ago, during which period he has been living with his son, John Lowe, and occupied himsclf in cutting out for him. On Sunday night last a dispute arose between the son and his father, who accused him of having got possession of all his stock and tools, which terminated in the son turning him out of doors, and it is believed that yesterday the father went to ask the son to give him fourpence to enable him to get a lodging for himself, which the son refused, and told him he had paid the value of the articles his father claimed, for rent of the shop in Old Brentford. Both father and son are lying in a dangerous state. DREADFUL MURDER IN JERSEY. Another dreadful murder was perpetrated at Seward's cafe, Itoyal-square, on Friday morning, at a quarter past two. The victim of this fearful deed is Mr. Abraham, optician, known for many years in the Channel Islands, which he visited occasionally. In the course of Thursday night Mr. Nieolle, hatter, of King-street, visited Mr. Seward's cafe, and shortly after a dispute arose between them respecting two bottles of wine charged to Mr. N., but which he refused to pay, u-ing very high language towards Mr. Seward, and challenging to fight him then in the square; but Mr. Seward returned and joined the company in doors, which consisted of Mr. Jeffery, Mr. Bowdklge, jun., Mr. C. du Pont, and Miss Cook, Mr. Seward's housekeeper. Only a few minutes had elapsed when a report of firc.arms was heard, the contents of which had entered the cafe, and in another moment their effect was visible by the almost instant death of Mr. Abraham, he having been struck in the back by three pistol bullets, one of which passed through his body coming out about the centre of his breast. Miss Cook, who stood near the table, was shot through the left hand and hip, the ball having previously passed between Mr. Seward's breast and Mr. Bowdidge's head; for- tunately the young lady's life is not considered in danger. Mr. Seward and Mr. Bowdidge, on hearing the report, instantly ran out as far as Nicolle's house when they heard a door slam they then tried the door, but found it fastened on the inside. The police were immediately on the alert, and made diligent search for the assassin, but to no purpose, not consider- ing it prudent to search his house till daylight. Several of the police kept a strict guard around the house till half-past seven, when a watchman entered Mr. Nicolle's room, and found him with a child in his arms he immediately surrendered himself. In the room was found a short piece, which had evidently not long been discharged. A post-mortem examination took place, when it was ascertained that one of the bullets had penetrated the heart, and the other two had entered the right side of the back, and fractured two ribs. The name of the unhappy gentleman deprived of life is Samuel Levi, he having assumed the name of Abraham from a firm with which he was connected at Liverpool. All these facts were deposed to at the inquest, which was held the same day, and on Saturday the jury re- assembled to consider their verdict, which was unani- mously Wilful murder." CO-OPERATION OF THE WIFE.—No man ever pros- pered in the world without the co-operation of his wife. If she unites in mutual endeavours, or rewards his labours with an endearing smile, with what confidence will he resort to his merchandise or his farm; fly over lands sail upon the seas meet difficulty and encounter danger if he knows he is not spending his strength in vain, but that his labour will be rewarded by the sweets of home Solicitude and disappointments enter the history of every man's life; and he is but half provided for his voyage, who finds but an associate for happy hours, while for his months of darkness and distress no sympathising partner is prepared!
