GRAND MORNING PERFORMANCE of the PAN TOMIME every WEDNESDAY, at Two o'Clock. THIS EVENING, THE WIFE'S SECRET. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean, Mr. Everett, Mr. J. F. Cathcart, and Misses Chapman. After which will be produced, with that attention to com pleteness in every department by which the Christmas Annuals of this Theatre have been so pie-eminently dis tinguished, the New Grand Comic Pantomime, entitled HARLEQUIN and the HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT; or, Old Mother Hubbard and hei M onderful Dog. "If a man do build a dwelling upon common land from sunset to sunrit3e, and enclose a piece of ground, wherein there shall be a tree, a beast feeding, a fire kindled, a chim ney smoking, and provisions in the pot, such dwelling shall be lively held by the builder, anything herein to the con trary nevertheless notwithstanding."—Old Forest Charter. The Novel Effects and Splendid Scenery by WILLIAM BEVERLEY. The Zealous, 80 guns, screw l!ne-of-bi now in course of building at the Roy Al Dockyard at Pembroke, is to be treated in a simile manner as the Triumph, and altered to a 51 wan iron - cased frigate. The Zealous was intended to be of 800 horse power and 3,710 tons burden, but heT nominal power will doubtless be altered. Seventy additional mechanics of various tradesr who have been employed for several weeks past en board the iron frigate Defence, 18, Capt. Powelf, C. 8., have been placed on the Resistance, 18, iron screw steamer, fitting at Chatham, in older to expe dite the completion of that vessel. There are now nearly 200 - mechanics dnd labourers employed on the Resistance, and every exertion is being lased by the dockyard officials to complete her by the earliest possible period. In order to effcct this tho mechanics and artisans working on board are now employed from 6 o'clock in the morning until 10 at: night,with only an hour and a half's intermission for meals, orders to that Effect having been received from the Admiralty. The Resistance is ordered to be ready to be r,ndockcd, to receive her iron masts on board, by the Ist of March ; but, from the amount of work yet remaining to be completed it seems hardly probable that she will be able to leave the dock till later. The entrance to the dock in which the :Resistance lies is being deepened and the obstructions which had accumulated in that part of the harbour are being removed by mnlas of the powerful steam dredging machine. The screw corvette Rattlesnake, 21, 400 horse power, which had been fitted at Chatham for com mission, was completed yesterday, and to-day will be towed to the coal depot at Stangate creek where she will take on board her supply of coals previously to steaming round to Plymouth. A slight alteration has been made in the pitch of her screw propeller (Griffiths's), and she has also been supplied- with a spare fan. Her guns, shot, and general stores are on board, and on her arrival atTlymouth she will only require her officers and crew to be ready to proceed to sea. She will be navigat4rOund from the Nore by a party of riggers from Chatham and Sheerness dockyards. The Queen's dock at Keyham, Devonport, is to be lengthened 40 feet, to meet the requirements of the service by the great increase in the length of ships of war. The Vivid, Admiralty steam vessel, Master Com mander Allen, left Woolwich yesterday morning for Dover, to be in readiness to embark his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and suite, for Ostend, whence his Royal Highness will, it is stated, pro ceed to Prussia, and subsequently on his travels in the Holy Land. The screw steam storeship Supply,3, Master Com mander W. H. Balliston, having been replenished with coal in Plymouth Sound, embarked some su pernumerary boys, and sailed yesterday for Malta. The screw steam frigate Emerald, 51, Captain Arthur Cumming, with the gunvessel Lee, from Liverpool, is expected to call at Plymouth.

Despatches have been received at head-quarters, announcing that the battle at Somerset did not take place on Saturday but on Sunday morning, and that General Thomas continued in pursuit of the rebels until night. Our forces followed the rebels, who ran before them in the wildest confusion like a flock of sheep, close up to their entrenchments on the north bank of the river. In front of their en trenchments the rebels laid all night, expecting that we would storm them .in the morning, but with the aid of their boats and barges they managed to get across the river before daylight. They left behind all their artillery, ammunition, horses and tents; and 80 waggon loads of quarter masters' and medical stores fell into our hands. Our troops had possession of their entrenchments early this morning. After reaching the opposite side of the river the rebels dispersed in every direction. Two hundred dead and wounded rebels were picked up on the field. General Zollicoffer was found in a waggon mortally wounded. Our loss is not de finitely ascertained, but it must be considerable. The surgeon of the 10th Indiana Regiment tele graphs that his regiment had seventy killed and wounded. General Thomas's division embraces some of the best regiments in this department. As far as I can learn, the 9th Ohio, the 10th Indiana, the 2d Minnesota, the 18th Regulars, the 4th Kentucky, and the 10th Kentucky Regiments were amongst those engaged. Colonel Mason's brigade, including the 10th In diana, the 18th Regulars, and some Kentucky regi ments, reinforced General Thomas during Saturday night. They made a forced march of twenty five miles through heavy roads, and managed to arrive three hours before the commencement of the fight, in which they took a glorious part in spite of their fatigue. The tenor of all the official de spatches received goes to show that the affair re sulted in the most brilliant victory of the war. to enable h() 11 0 ou N r s o i d p e r . o m G i n e e n n e t r a o l ffi s c c e h rs ce p a f r e w s s aid the retreat of the enemy , o win g to the bluffy cha racter of the country and th e obstruction of all the t i e ll u e t d on off' roads by felled timber.

Dissatisfaction has for some time existed among the workmen employed in the smiths' department and at the steam sawmills in Chatham dockyard' in consequence of Admiralty regulations of specify ing the hours at which they shall commence and leave work. Under the present system the mechanics connected with those departments enter the dock yard at a few minutes before 6 o'clock in the morn ing. and work until 6 in the evening, with an inter val of one hour and 20 minutes for dinner. A pe tition has been forwarded to the Lords of the Ad miralty, praying them to alter the hours of work from 6 45 a.m. to 5 30 p.m., with half an hour for dinner. Under the present arrangement considera ble time is lost each day in re-making the furnace fires after the men return into the yard for dinner, which would be obviated were the men to remain in the dockyard during the 30 minutes allowed them for that meal. The petition is supported by the master shipbuilder, the master smith, and the chief engineer, and is of so reasonable a character that there is little doubt the Board of Admiralty will accede to the request made.

Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the beet set of bathe, at 19, St. Martin's-lc-Grand , which the country can produce; perfect in all Its appliances, and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up hie baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement, which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur prising, while everything- that taste or delicacy c ould desire has been obtained to a dd t o th e com f or t a nd luxury of the visitor. . .

Although the Great Exhibition Building, now in course of erection, covers nearly 25 acres of ground, yet there remains a very large number of intending Exhibitors who have been necessarily excluded by the want of space. This has caused great disappointment, both at home and abroad, to many who had made preparations for the exposition of their pro ductions. To meet this want, and at the same time to give facilities for the sale of the goods which will be collected from all parts of the world, a Company has been formed, the Capital of which is subset ibed, for the purpose of erecting on a spot closely contiguous to the Great Exhibition 13uildirw, an Ornamental Structure designed by Sir JOSEPH PAXTON, where the Exhibitors will have the advantage of a Building in every respect applicable for a favourable display of their goods, and with the privilege of selling the same to the vast concourse of visitors who will inevitably be attracted to Lon don during the present year. The Building . will be called "The International Supple mentary Exhibition," and will cover about three acres of around. The who'e of the space for exhibition will be upon the ground floor, and upon the walls, there being no galleries, and such is the perfection of the design, that all parts will bc equally well lighted. A provisional contract has been entered into with an emi nent mp contractor for the erection of the Building, which is to be coleted, under a heavy penalty, on or before the 15th day of May next. The charges will be— ware foot. For floor space . per sq For wall space 6s. Persons desirous of obtaining space must apply at the Offices of the Company, having preciously paid to toe credit of the Trustees, at the City Bank, Threadneedle-street, or at the Agra Bank, 27, Cannon-street, the amount payable upon the space applied for, which will be allotted according to the priority of application. The names of the Trustees are— Sir RO BERT WALTER CARDEN, Alderman, Chair man of the City Bank. Mr. Alderman YINNIS, Director of the Agra Bank. WILLIAM JACKSON, Esq., M.P. If from any cause the Building should not be completed, or if the space applied tor should not be allotted, the amount of the deposit-money will be returned in full.

MODERN PHYSIOLOGICAL SCIENCE clearly shows that the whole of our system is built up from the blood—nerves, sinews, muscles, and even solid bone ; this being the case, the grand object is to keep this precious fluid, the blood, in a pure and healthy state, for without this purity disease will show itself in some way or other ; thus diseases called by various names have all been cured simply by the use of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, thus showing that what has been considered different disorders, and requiring different treatment, all originated in the same 'ause, and can be cured by one uniform treatment. PARR'S LIFE PILLS, although powerful in conquering disease, yet are pure and harmless, and may be administered with confi dence to the invalid, however weakly from long ill health, who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health—viz., good appetite, sound sleep, and an in crease of animal spirits.

The official despatch confirming the Kentucky victory is brief, containing no more information than is already known to the public. On the 20th Ex-Secretary Cameron held a mili tary levee, and delivered the following address : " Gentlemen,—l am deeply sensible of the honour you have done me by your presence on this occa sion. We have been associated together in a great work. I have had the army grow up under my hands, from one of small propor tions to. be. nne of the _greatest establishments in the world. I have laboured to make it worthy of the country and the cause we were defending. In the discharge of my duty, where such vast in terests were concerned, so much feeling enlisted, I have doubtless in some cases given offence. In cases still fewer 1 may have felt offences given—but they are so few, so slight, that I cannot now remember one. I dismiss all thought of them. Of all these officers present, there is scarcely one that I have not appointed —scarcely one without my name to his commission. I allude to the fact only to assure you how deep the interest I must feel in you. At all times in life, and wherever I may be, I shall cherish the most earnest wishes for your welfare and suc cess, for the glory of , our arms, and for the pros perity of the country. ' FRENCH ACADEMY 01 SCIENCES. M. Faye has recently communicated to the Aca demy of Sciences a series of papers on the figure of comets, in which he establishes the following doe. trines In the region of the orbit nearest to the sun, the nucleus is generally accompanied by two opposite:emissions, one on the side of the sun, which M. Faye calls cyathiform, and the other on the opposite side, which he calls conoidal ; 2. The cyathiform and brilliant emission present great de viations, which are variable with respect to the radius vector ; it is generally situated before this radius, and sometimes behind it ; 3. On the con trary, the conoidal emission, inwardly dark, always deviates from the radius vector, remaining behind it in the plan or the orbit ; this deviation consti tutes but a very small angle, which remains nearly constant during a long series of days ; 4. Thus the hypothesis of a polar force exercised by the sun is contradicted by facts ; 5. The envelopes which close the head of the comet on the side of the sun, pro ceed from the matter of the cyathiform emission, the chalice of which they sometimes invade. Their formation is intermittent, like the emission itself. They also present deviations chiefly attributable to a difference of motion existing between them and the nucleus ; 6. The matter is distributed in an order corresponding to the densities inereasing to wards the sun ; the densest particles being grouped in the envelopes furthest from the nucleus ; 7. The tails are in a great measure fed by these envelopes ; the straight tails proceed from the envelopes nearest the nucleus, or even directly from the nucleal emission itself; the curved tails, situated, like the former, in the pos terior angle formed by the radius vector and the tangent to the orbit, proceed from more distant envelopes. The tails directed towards the sun, in the anterior angle opposite to the former, pro ceed from an envelope at a still greater distanhoe from the nucleus. 8 . The exterio r figure of t head has nothing in common w ith a paraboloid.e of the figure 9. The discussion of the phen omena this con- of comets leads to the sa me conclusion as the acce leration of per i od i ca l c omets, and elusion is confirmed by M. Faye's ex p er iment on the repulsion of incandescent surfaces in a rare fied medium, experiments which we describ e d some months ago at great length. Just as the Academy of Sciences was about to open its sittin g yesterday, the President was in formed of the decease of its oldest member, M. Biot, who was also a member of the French Aca demy, and of the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres. M. Biot had died that morning in full possession of all his faculties, and had passed the previous evening in scientific conversation with several brother academicians assembled round his M. Biot was eighty-ei g ht bed.years of age. After the president had communicated the mournful in telligence to his colleagues, the sitting was at once brought to a close. Private telegrams quote the exchange at Hong Kong, 4s 7d ; and at Shanghai, Gs 2ld. One telegram states—" Tea at Foo-chow-foo, 3to 4 ts. higher; three vessels left —total 14. Silk higher; settled, 5,000 bales; total, 41,000. Manufactures—holders firm. Dates from England, Oct. 26. Ningpo in possession of the rebels. Manilla—All tobacco to be sent to Spain." THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief will hold a levee at the Horse Guards at one o'clock on Thursday, the 13th inst. Plans are now in course of preparation for the entire rebuilding of the barracks at the cavalry depot, - Maidstone, on 'a greatly extended scale. Assist.-Adjt.-Gen. E wart and Col, Twiss, com manding Royal Engineer for the Medway district, have paid an official visit to the garrison and made a minute inspection of the premises, as also of the adjacent land and buildings which it will be neces sary to purchase to carry out the plans ; and it is understood that the estimates for that purpose will b e brought before the Government forthwith. The new barracks will be of a very substantial and com plete character, the cost of the works being esti mated at £50,000. The Royal Marine Artillery who arrived at Chatham on Tuesday from the paddle wheel steamer Terrible, 21, Capt. Glasse, C. 8., proceeded to Ports mouth yesterday morning, and joined headquarters. The Marines, belonging to the Light Infantry com panies at Plymouth were also forwarded to that division yesterday. The detachment belonging to the Chatham division was paid yesterday, when each of the non-commissioned officers and men was granted six weeks' leave of absence. In consequence of the 23d Company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Len nox, V.C., recently returned from China, being considerably below its proper complement, a num ber of men belonging to various trades have just been selected from the depot companies at head quarters, Chatham, to reinforce the corps. The reinforcement will proceed to join the company as soon as the route has been received from the Horse Guards. The extensive range of barrack buildings now in course of erection at Gravesend for the accommoda tion of the officers and men sent to that station from the garrison at Chatham will be completed and rea dy for occupation during the approaching sum mer. The ranges of barrack rooms, lecture rooms, &c., were completed last year by the contractor, Mr. Downes, of Southwark, and the present addi tional buildings are being erected by Mr. Maylar, the Government contractor, Rochester. They include a commodious building behind the present block, running to a length of nearly 200 feet, with a width of 24 feet and height of 12 feet, which is Un tended for the officers temporarily quartered at Gravesend during the time they are under rifle in struction. Adjoining this building is placed another block of houses for the officers' servants, accommo dation being provided for 32 men. In addition to the several blocks of buildings already completed, the Government has given directions for the con struction of a guardhomo and the necessary cells, which are now in hand, together with quarters for the Staff, mess-rooms for the officers and noncom missioned officers, and the usual offices. There a re also buildings to be used as cook - hou se, comm issariat are e . ra h e t te in an store-rooms, reading-rooms, lavatories, and hos pital.
