Some, three months since I procured a bottle of your hair restorative, and used it; I soon found it was proving what I had wished. I used it about twice a week. I hare stnoe procured another botUe, of whloh I have used some. I can now eerily to the world that the gray or white hair has to tally disappeared, both on my head and face and my hair has resumed its natural color, and I believe more soft end glossy than it bee been before for twenty-flve years. lam now sixty years old; my good wire at the age of fifty-two, has used it with same effect.

Municipal Corporations, In Europe, are not confined to the British dominions. They, are to be found, in various forms and under dif ferent names, all over Germany and France, and it may be remembered that, in the first French Revolution, Baxlli, Maire of Paris, was a very prominent character, on the- popu lar side. He paid the usual penalty of tho time, and was guillotined. Lord Byron .has adopted, for Marino Faliero, a reply which Bailli made on the acafTold. An enemy, who maliciously watched his bearing, and would gladly have detected .fear, Baid, “Youtrem-. bio?” Baidu’s answer was, “ ’Tis with cold, then.” ; , . ’ ' In England, as in some cities of tho Union* there'are Aldermen, as well as Mayors, jln London alone, eyory Alderman is a magistrate, exojicto . Tho Municipal Corporatione’ Re form Bill of 1884 deprived the Aldermen in other cities and boroughs of all judicial func tions, The Common Council is elected first, and the Aldermen are nominated by the Coun cil. A ludicrous instance of tho folly of this system occurred at Liverpool, on tho first election of the Municipal body, after the pass ing of the Act, which abolished the old body and manufactured their successors* The .town was divided into Wards, represented, In 1 the Common Council by forty-eight inhabitants, chosen by popular election. It happened that tho conservative candidates wero beaten at the polls very decidedly—completely, in fact, as Jehu Glanoy Jones, Porter, and that crowd were beaten, in our Keystone State, the other day* Out of forty-oight candidates only threo were.elected* When the new Council met, the first act of the majority was to nominate sixteen Alderman, one for each Ward, and the forty-five showed at once their partisan feel ings and respect for public opinion, by select ing, at the head of the list, as “ the most de sartless men,” the very three whom three Wards had rejected. As was sharply said, at the time, they weio made Aldermen because they were so unpopular that the Wards would not accept them in tbe inferior capacity of Gouncitmen. *bhey were judged, by tbe elec tors, to be unworthy of public confidence for three years, in the Council, and were therefore chosen by that (Jouncit for six years as Alder men i In London, ono Aldenaan is olected, by “ the Livery,” to preside over the delibera tions of each Ward. Every AldeVman is a magistrate, and holds bis office for life. The “ Lively” consist of all persons belonging to one or other of the Companies of the city of London*. They are. called the freemen, and hare exclusive right of voting at all municipal elections in London proper, which contains a resident population of about 160,000, though, with the addition of Westminster, the great district on the opposite Surrey-side of the Thames, and the environs which have be come port and parcel of the metropolis, the present population of the British capital ex ceeds 2,600,000. There are two Sheriffs of London, annually early in September—one, with senior standing, is Sheriff London, the other, She. riff of Middlesex. The emoluments, which may average about $40,000 a year, are exclu. sively the property of the ,two lawyers, - who pGrform the legal duties of under- ( Sheriffs, each giving heavy bonds to his prin. cipal. Indeed, the. Shrievalty is very often shunned or shirked. The duties draw a man away Arom his business for a whole year, and the expenses are heavy. A Sheriff must have a richly-decoratod State Carriage, drawn by four horses, and a large retinue of men. servants, in liveries actually stiff with gold lace. He must also have a private carriage, with driveT and two footmen, in plainer livery, for that. He pays one half the expense of the Sheriffs* inaugural dinner, and one fourth of the cost of the Lord Mayor’s great Guildhall feast, on the ninth of November. Until 1762, when tho alteration of the stylo took place* the Lord Mayor’s Feast took place «on the morrow after Simon and Jude,” which was the 29th of October. Such was tho practice fVom the year 1216. when King John first granted a Mayor to London, stipulating that, before inauguration, he should be presented, for approval, either to the King or to his Jusi tice at Westminster. This is the origin of tho Lord Mayor’s Show, on the day of the Civic Feast, but always before it takes place. Bach Sheriff’s share of tho Foast would cost him $5,000 j half of his own inaugural breakfast and dinner, $2,600; other expenses of office, including donations to civic charities, at least $7,600 more. No wonder, then, that the office is shunned by saving, prudent, or unambitious “ citizens” of London. It is not compulsory on any citizen—but if he decline to serve, after being elected, ho must pay a fine of $2,600 to tho city, on which another election takes place. Of late years, tho cus tom has been not to propose any man for Sheriff, unless it bo ascertained that, if elected, he will fill the office. So many, however, are anxious to obtain tho expensive honor of the Shrievalty, that there is no lack of candidates—whose names are never put up as candidates. Contests for the Shrievalty are rare. The Lord Mayor usually suggests one “ citizen,” and the Com mon Connell agree upon another. The ambitious points to be achieved by a Sheriff are twofirst, it is a stepping-stone to the aldermanic gown, and secondly, no one can be Lord Mayor until he has first been Sheriff. It does not follow that a man must bo Sheriff before he becomes Alderman. In deed, one of the newly-chosen Sheriffs for tho year commencing on November 9th, is Aider man Hale. n PATENT LEATHER, The mode ol election la the same, on a somewhat minor scale, as that of Lord Mayor. On Michaelmas day (SeptemDer 29) the elec, tion of.Lerd Mayor Invariably takes place. On tho occasion, last passed, Mr. Alderman Wire was chosen Lord Mayor. Ho is an am bitions, undersized man, with red hair and a perpetual smirk. He is a lawyer, of the firm of Wire & Guilds, professional advisers of the gin and beer sellers of London, whom he always speaks of as “ tho licensed Witicra’ Hass-ociation.” When Sheriff, from his pugnacious temperament, and an odd habit of stooping forward, With his bands thrust under his coat tails, he boro the sobriquet of “the bantam-cock of the Cor poration.” Ho perpetually boasts of his pre sent wealth and his original lowly origin, and has suffered the mortification of being repeat, edly badly beaten, in his native town, in par liamentary contests. We shall have an op. portunity, by and by, of mentioning the quaint formalities with which Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of London are respectively elected. We add, (for the especial delectation of tho Boston Courier, which so much oniogizos the wearing of tho flunkey-livery in question,) that at theso elections tho Lord Mayor, Alder men, Recorder, and Sheriffs wear Oourt-suits, with lace frills and swords, also having scarlet or black robes, (according to their status,) and each bearing a huge nosegay, somewhat smaller than a churn. On the last day of September a very peculiar ceremony annually occurs in the Court of Ex. chequer, at Westminster. The proceedings on the occasion just passed may be briefly de scribed i —a breakfast in Tallew Chandlers’ Hall, the Alderman-Sheriff belonging,to that company, given by tho Sheriffs to the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and officers of tho corpora tion. After this, the goodly oompany went to the Mansion House, (the residence of the Lord Mayor,) where the loading officials wore scarlet or violet, or black robes—according to rank—and black Court dress, the Lord Mayor wearing his “ collar of S.S.” a golden orna ment weighing about three pounds, Then, ENGRAVING MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1858. a grand .civic procession, through « the City,” under the Templo-bar, along the Strand, and down Parliament street to Westminster Hall, where, says the newspaper report: , “It was met bv the High Constable of West* minster, who oonauoted it to the entrance of the Court of Exohequer, the precession dividing and falling back upon - eaoh side,, so as to allow the Lord Mayor, with, tho Sword (Mr. Sewell) and M&oe (Mr. Beddome), to pass between them into oourt, and present himself before the Chief Baron. “The Lord Mayor took his stand within the bar, in front of the Court, with tbe Recorder on his left hand, the Benior Sheriff (Alderman .Hale) on his right hand, and (ho junior Sheriff (Deputy Conder) on the Recorder’s left hand; the Sword on the Benior Sheriff’s right hand, and tbe Maoe on the janior Sheriff’s left hand, the other seats within the bar • being occupied by the Aldermen, and the seats below the bar by the Town Clerk and other officers of the corporation, tbe reßpoolive oorapanies of the Sheriffs being arranged on eaoh side of the Ooqrt. “The Lord Mayor, remaining covered, then math three obehances, the Sheriffs doing the same, at each of which the Chief Baron, who wore hia scarlet robes , took off his hat, and the Lord Mayor lifted his hat in return v This wearing of hats, and making obeisan ces, and lifting of hats, has been the practice in London for over 800 years, and the Lord Mayor who should omit or alter a tittle of the ceremonial would be the object of terrible denunciation from every “ livery-man of-the good city of London.” Those chremonialß ended, the Recorder of London, who takes rank, as a judge, immedi ately next to the Queen’s legal barons and jus tices, formally presented the two Sheriffs to Chief Baron Pollock, separately eulogising them. What follows is too good to be lost, so we annex it in fall:— The chief baron briefly expressed her Majesty’s approval of the ohoioe of tbe livery, and expressed his own opinion that the sheriffs would duly and .honorably discharge tbe duties of their office. The varioui warrants connected with tbe accept ance of office by the present sheriffs and the retire ment of their’ predecessors were then read, and duly filed and rcoorded. Tho common orier of the oourt then made the following proclamation“ Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! > Te nants and occupiers of a piece of waste land called tbe Moors, in tho county of Salop, come forth and do your seryioe upon pain and poril that shall fall thereon.” Then Aldorman Garter, the senior alderman below the chair, took two sticks from a bundle lying before him on the table, one of whioh he out with a batohet, and the other with a bill-hook. The orior of the oourt then m <de a second pro clamation as follows: —Oyea! Oyez! Oyez t Ten ants and occupiers of a certain tenement oalled the Forge, in the parish of St. Olement Danes, Middle sex, come forth and do your service.” Then the same Alderman oouhted some horse shoes lying before him, and was questioned by tho Queen's Remembrancer thus: Remembrancer.— How many have you ? Alderman.—Six ehoeg. Then the Alderman counted the nails. Remembrancer— How many have you? Ax,dbr)j.an.—Sixty one. Rbhbhbrancxr —That is a good number. Tbe Recorder then invited the Chief Baron to dine with the Sheriffs. The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs bowed again as on entering the court, the hats were lifted as before, and tbe procession, en quitting the court, returned to the city. How or when tho extraordinary ceremonial of chopping sticks and counting horse-shoes and nails originated seems lost in obscurity* « The waste land called the Moors” was held, no doubt, by the feudal tenure of chopping and counting, but when the Corporation ob tained this land, when commenced this custom, no one seems to know. It is a record curious and amusing enough to be placed before 'our readers* From Lake Superior. [Correspondence ot TbePreaa.] City of Buperior, Lake Superior, ) October 10, 1858. ) Mr. Editor: A large meeting of the Democrats of Bougies county couvenod at the School House, Monday evening. October sth, and nominated a county ticket to be supported by the party on the second day of November next. About one hundred and twenty votes were polled, which yon will agree with me is very well for a young town, only sur veyed about four years ago, in what was then a •thick forest. Tnework.on the military road to Bt.<Paul is getting along finely l-Jhere are oyer, thirty hands employed, and./the contractors'are' desirous of employing as many more, as they are under bonds to oomplete the road in good stage order to Crow Wing, on the Mississippi, by next May or June. They contracted from Twin Lakes, I believe, on tbe military road, and tbenoe to open a now road .toward Crow Wing, for twenty fire thousand dollars. Should this road bo in stage order by the first of June, 1859, a grand ox oursion pryty will be gotten np, and distinguished guests, members of tbo press, eto., will bo trans ported via steamboats on the lakes to the city of Superior, and thenoe to Crow Wing, Sc. Paul, and return via the Mississippi, the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne, and Chicago, and Pennsylvania Central railroads. What a glorious pleasure trip! I pre sume the inhabitants of Superior will get np a greater excitement than their neighbors of 8t Paul did at their great cable celobration. The city of Superior will.have its hotels and private houses thronged with strangers, and I hardly daro pro phecy the patriotic speeches, libations, and gun ! powdor that will be expended. If ever a town was well situated it is this one, at the head of Lake Superior, and tbe furthest inland point accessible for ooean vessels in this continent. Space does not permit my giving full extracts from the speeoh of an honorable Senator, delivered in 1825, in whfch he prodioted that the Northwest would never be set tled. In regard to the Territory of Oregon, hesaid: “ But is this Territory over to beoome a State, a member of this Union? Never! The Union Is already too extensive . [Thero were at this time twouty-four States.] Every member of Congress ought to see his constituents year, and it would require to oome to the seat of Government from Oregon and return—that is, at the rate mem bers of Congress travel according to not inoluding Sundays—five hundred and thirty-one days! It would be more expeditious, however, to oome by water around Cape Horn, or to pass through Behring’s Straits to the Atlantic ocean, and so on to Washington. It is true this passage is not yet discovered, except on our maps; but it will be as soon as Oregon shall be a State.” He also quoted from Major Long’s desoriptlou of the country from Council Bluff's to the Kooky Mountains, to show that a oivUizod population could never be main tained there. Ac These extracts serve to show bow foolish politicians maybe who arc even called statesmen. I will also add that many of tho so oaltod geologists, who have issued copious folios upon this country, and particularly around this lake, are truly less reliable in their descriptions thnn 1b the honorable Senator.

(From the OlcvoHnd Plalodealer Oct. 0 ] If opposing Loeompton is opposing tho Adminis tration, then tho Administration is opposed to it self, for tho Administration acquiesced in tho Eng lish bill, whioh was diametrically opposed to Lo eompton. As well may it he charged that in opposing tho issue of treasury notes, as reeom mended by tho President, we are opposing the Administration. Has it oomo to thiß. that a De mocrat is not allowed to have any opinions of his own! Bat, savs Leeompton, tho President allows any latitude of opinion on other subjects; upon this one alone doos ho demand unqualified submis sion. Very well; nobody asked the President to soleot this particular question ns a tost of fidelity to him or his Administration. Ho onn make what ever «srsonat issues he pleases, but polsiteaC issues it is not in his powor to make. It takos the Democracy of tho whole notion in Convention assembled to do that If tho President is dis posed to moke suoh personal issues pommel, ho will force tho Democratic party to stick to their prinotples end plntform, as laid down at Cincin nati, in preference to him. 'The President is not thopaitv.bat is only a single individual of tho party. ‘ Bleating him the ohiof servant of tho sovereign no' plo does not make him dictator. Not a bit of it. Ho may. during a little brief authority, dictate to tlioso who hold office at his disposal. They may obey suoh diotatlon, resign, or ho guil lotined ; but bo cannot dictate to the party or to the people. We acknowledge no American monaroh or monarchy yot. It iB oharged that in sympathising with Mr. Douglas we oppose the Administration. Mr. Doug las, as we understand him, is struggling against a combination of Presidential conspirators and fanatical Abolitionists, to vindioate a prinoiplo of whioh he was the acknowledged exponent.

Noticing among, the crowd a bright-eyed, intelligent looking youth, with a bundle of papers under bis arm. which he essayed anon to dispose of at a penny and two pennie* each, we in voluntarily interrogated ourflelf as to what were, pro bably, the net profits of hts day’s sales, and sheer cn noai’y prompted us to ask of this peripatetic vender of the latest intelligence a reliable answer to the ones tiou: “Well,” said he ‘‘ire hoy’em by the dozen, and sometimes I make three.quarters, and sometimes not more’n a half ” “But what do you do with this money?” we ssked, wishing to find the fpea sesame to the ambition sad energy of the tiny newsboy. “ Take it heme and give it to mother, sir, and she keeps it for me. I’re got most enough to buy me a new sun of clothes, and—Just then the passenger rush se parated us i but we could hear our lijtle friend of the i prospective new suit shouting, “ Ledger; sir ? Forney’s Frew—full account of the election—only two cents:” and as long as we eould keep trace of his little form, as it swayed to and fro amid the throng like a frail bark on tbe ocean’s heaving surge, his shrill voice kept up the cry, “i«fger, sir? Forney’s Frsss?—only;two cents.” .. There, indeed, had we seen content; but looking srouod on the heterogeneous crowd, we could not dia cover another instance. All were pushing, crowding, jostling ea«h other, seemingly in a general infection of ill temper. Some, perhaps, wereynerchants, who had on sunken vessels, with so'insurance; some had paper to meet, and were withoutthe fnnds to save their credit; soma were disappointed in one thing, some in Another; but none looked contented, satUfied with things as they were'. We walked away more than ever at ease about oar comparatively happy lot, resolved that, with the next fit of “ the blues,” we would call to mind the news-boy, with his new suit of clothes, in conjunction with the Hoes, so apropos — ' “ Be still, sad heart, and cease repining: Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the commoa fate of all— Into each life aome rain must fall.” A Handsome Present.—The Good Kngitie Company, of this city, are having made at the establishment of Cornelius* Baker a handsome roll frame, to be presented,to the Liberty Fire Company, of Baltimore, as a mark of esteem for the kindness ex tended by the Liberty to tbe Good .Will soma two years ago, daring a visit to Baltimore. The frame is formed of brass castings, ornamented with firemen’s Imple ment*, hooks and ladders, hose, spanners, horns, Ac., and is about six feet fix inches hirh. by three feet six itches wide.
