 BUILDERS, and Hot-water Apparatus Manufacturers, Invite 

 the attention of Horticulturists to their Improved Plan of Bot- 

 tom-Heat, now becoming so universally adopted. 



From the extensive Practice they have been honoured with 

 for20vears in designing and building CONSERVATORIES, 

 GREENHOUSES, HOTHOUSES, PITS, &c. &c., and erecting 

 their HOT- WATER APPARATUS to every descri, tion of 

 Buildings to which heat is applicable, J. Wseks and Day 

 have the greatest confidence in recommending their 

 BOILERS as the most efficient of any yet invented, their 

 largest being capable of heating a range of Forcing Houses 300 

 feet In length, with a comparatively small quantity of fuel, an 

 only requiring attention once in 10 hours. To be seen in use at 

 most of the London Nurseries, also at their Manufactory; and a 

 variety of Horticultural Erections . Models, Plans, &c. &c. 



ETT1NG for SHEEP FOLDS, made of Cocoa-

 ordinary durability when exposed to alternations of weather. 

 A prize was awarded for this Netting at the meeting of the 

 Roval Agricultural Society at Bristol, in 1842 ; and it 

 strongly recommended to the notice of Agriculturists in the 

 Society's Report for that year. It will wear out several sets of 

 tarred hemp Netting, and is so light that a herdsman can with 

 ease carry 200 yards of it.— Sold in nets of 50 and 100 yards 

 long, 42 inches high, by the Manufacturers, WILDEY and CO.,

THE HAIR. — Of the numerous compounds constantly 

 announced for promoting the growth, or reproduction of 

 the Hair, few survive, eveu In name, beyond a very limited 



neriod, whilst 



y ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, 



with a reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public 

 estimation. The singular virtues of this successful invention 

 for Restoring, Preserving, and Beautifying the Human Hair, 

 are too well known and appreciated to need comment. The 

 very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its 

 general use In all countries, together with numerous testimo- 

 nials constantly received in its favour, are authorities which 

 stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts of a 

 similar nature. Being universally preferred, its consequent 

 great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, 

 who vend the most spurious trash as the " genuine Macassar 

 Oil- whereas, the genuine article is wholly the invention and 

 property of A. Rowland and Sov, and the amalgamation of 

 its costly exotic materials renders abortive any attempt to dis- 

 cover its component parts-thus proving the imposition of all 

 other articles bearing the title of « Macassar Oil." The 



genuine article has the words ,.,._-._ _. T

IMPORTANT tothe FASHIONABLE WORLD — 



1 By far the most influential of all the graces that contribute 

 to personal adornment is the Hair. Its recovery. I^jwvation, 

 and improvement proportionally concern the elegantes io our 

 fashionable circles/and any information which will insure the e 

 desirable results will be hailed as an inestimable boon .The 

 following extract from the letter of a respectable chemist in 

 Bridlington will be read with the highest interest:- 



« A lady, a customer of mine, has found great benefit from 

 the use of your Balm. About six months ago her hair nearly 

 all fell off. I recommended her to try your Balm of Columbia, 

 which she did. In the course of a few applications the s hair 

 ceased to fall off. Before she had used one 3s. 6rf. bottle t began 

 to grow very profusely, and she has now a very beautiful head 

 of hair. " I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully,

The return of King Louis-Philippe to his own domi- 

 nions has not yet lessened the discussions of the French 

 journals on the policy of his visit, but their speculations 

 offer little novelty and are becoming tedious from fre- 

 quent repetition. The Ministerial papers still contend 

 that the visit is an event of great national importance ; 

 while the organs of the Opposition endeavour to separate 

 the King from the people by asserting that the cordiality 

 of His Majesty's reception was not a demonstration of 

 friendship towards France, but a personal compliment to 

 himself. It is however considered by the more moderate 

 parties in Paris that the visit will lead to favourable 

 results; and that, although the next Session of the 

 Chambers wiU be a stormy one, the Government oasde- 

 rifed fresh strength from the late events, and will be 

 enabled to carry many measures which they could not 

 otherwise have proposed. The marriage of the Ducd Au- 

 male to the Princess Caroline of Salerno will take place 

 immediately, and will be made the occasion for a general 

 amnesty for political offenders in France and Naples.- 

 From Spain we learn that the two Chambers were con. j 

 stituted on the 17th, and that on the 18th the M.mstry | 



brought forward their long-expec 1 bill, for the pro- 

 posed reform of the constitution. The object of thia 

 measure is the curtailment of popular ri< by render- 



ing*lhe Sovereign independent of the Cortes, and bf 

 giving powers to the Cabinet which have never yet been 

 sanctioned by the constitution. These important 

 changes are said to be but a small portion of the innova- 

 tions contemplated by the Cabinet ; and if the Cortes 

 should assent to them, the Government will be able to 

 execute by royal ordinances the most vital functions of 

 thestnte, and to dispense at pier. e with the delibera- 

 tions of the L gislature. The marriage of Queen Chris- 

 tina with M. Munoz, now Duke of Ri mzares, to whom 

 she has been priva y allied for seve;al years, was offici- 

 ally solemnised on the 13th, la the presence of all the 

 Ministers. Thia event is likely to give rise to some difficult 

 questions connected with the futur itle of the Queen 

 Mother, and with the settlement of the pension which 

 she has hitherto enjoyed as the unman icd widow of the 

 King of Spain. A conspiracy set on foot by the Pro- 

 gresista party, has been detected among the refugees resi- 

 dent within the French frontier, and two Generals of that 

 party have been arrested by the French authorities just 

 as they were about to enter Spain.— From Portugal we 

 have accounts of the proceedings in bo.h Chambers, but 

 they possess little interest for the English reader. The 

 Committee appointed to investigate the legislative decrees 

 issued by the Government during the Almeida revolt, 

 have reported doubtfully on the legality of thote mea- 

 sures, but have recommended a bill of indemnity in order 

 to avoid greater evils.— The Belgian Chambers were 

 opened on Tuesday with a speech from the throne. A 

 treaty of commerce has been concluded between that 

 country and the Zollverein, and a very serious in- 

 crease" has been made by the Belgian Government 

 in the duties on silk and cottons, which cannot fail 

 to be most injurious to English interests.— The 

 accounts from the United States come down to the 

 hhinst., and are remarkable as containing important 

 declarations from Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster against the 

 annexation of Texas. The latter of these statesmen 

 repudiated the idea that England would desire any spe- 

 cial connection with Texas, and warmly defended the 

 fixed determination of the British Government to discou- 

 rage slavery. 



Mr. O'Connell's surrender of Simple "R al for the new 



scheme of Federalism has not been received as favour- 

 ably as he expected by the Repeal pirty. Mr. Duffy, 

 one of his ftllow-traversers, has published a long letter 

 protesting against this change of principles, and the 

 leading Repeal organs have announced their opposition 

 to Mr. O'Conneli's views. It is be'ieved however in 

 Dublin that an important movement is at hand, and that 

 its first step will be an attempt to unite the Whig party 

 in Irelaud with the supp orters of Feder alism.

Her Majesty's Visit to the Isle of Wight.— On 

 Friday Her Majesty and Prince Albert again embarked 

 on board the royal" yacht for a few hours' cruise. The 

 weather was exceedingly fine, being more like a summer 

 day than one at this advanced period of autumn. Just 

 as the royal yacht was getting under weigh the Black 

 Eagle, with the Admiralty flag flying at her mast-head, 

 and having on board the Lords of the Admiralty, entered 

 the roadstead from Portsmouth. She immediately put 

 about and accompanied ller Majesty's yacht to the 

 place of embarkation. Here the Lords of the Admiralty 

 disembarked to pay their respects to Her Majesty, and 

 accompanied her on board the royal yacht, where the 

 Admiralty flag was hoisted at the fore, and the royal 

 standard at the main. The yacht then pursued her course 

 to the westward, towards the Needles, followed by the 

 Black Eagle, the Comet, and the Dwarf. After steam- 

 in* a few miles to the westward, Her Majesty returned 

 to Osborne House, and walked home throu :h the woods. 

 On Saturday morning Her Majesty and the Prince having 

 determined to prolong their stay until Monday, extended 

 their usual early walk (for the first time during the 

 present visit) beyond the precincts of the royal domain, 

 and not being recognised or gazed at, they strolled arm 

 in arm through a portion of Mr. Brooke's grounds, 

 where the sides of the roads are lined with flowers with- 

 out any protection whatever, such being the respect paid 

 to property so situated, that to touch a single flower 

 would be treated by all classes of the inhabitants as a 

 public delinquency. In the afternoon, Her Majesty and 

 Prince Albert again enjoyed a short cruise towards 

 the east part of the island. About 2 o'clock Her 

 Majesty's steamer Dwarf got under weigh and proceeded 

 from her anchorage in the roadstead to Mead's-hole, 

 having the royal barge in tow, and was immediately 

 followed by the royal yacht and the Black Eagle, having 

 the Admiralty flag flying. Her Majesty and the 

 Prince, having gone on board the yacht, proceeded 

 eastward towards Spithead, followed by the Black 

 Eagle and the Dwarf. As soon as the 'oyai atandard 

 was observed by the ships of war anchored at Spithead 



the man-ropes were rove, and every P r «P ara " "^ r d 8 e 

 for receiving Her Majesty with the accustomed ^ononri. 

 When opposite Ryde, however, the royal yacht hove-to, 

 and the D wan pproached for the purpose, as it ap-
