The West of Ireland Land Investment Company propose to pur chase some of the large and valuable estates in tie West of Ireland. which are novarire the market,, and to improve and let oh lease, or resell the same. In no part of the British Empire can laud be obtained on such easy terms, andwitu such present and prospective advantages. At no former period has so favourable an oaportunity teen pre sented for making eligible land investments in Ireland. It is a strange but unquestionat le tenth, th et at the present mo ment several hundred thousand acres of good reclaimable lard may be bouehr in Ireland at prices scarcely higher than emigrants are compelled to pay for cleared land in our colonial back settlements. Owing to the legal difficulties that existed until lately to prevent the transfer of landed property in Ireland, and the exaggerated value generally placed upon it by its nominal owners, it was deemed hope less by English capitalists to seek permanent investments there, especially as the number of pauper tenants, in many instances, was so great as to make the Estates almost valueless, and to prevent all attempts at the introduction of. an improved system of agri calture. Ihe successful operation of the Encumbered .Estates' Court, the remarkable decrease of the labouring classes of the Irish population exhibited by the late Census, and the universal desire to emigrate that now exists amongst the peasantry, solve the chief difficay in the problem of Ireland's physical and social regeneration, and re move the most formidable obstacle to English enterprise in that quarter ; the only one where it has hitherto been conquered by the mere force of circumstances. The province of Connaught has been chosen because it off.rs un questionably a preeminently ittiteble field fbr the purppses of the Company, and still more because of the uniformly peaceful, loyal, and tractable character of its inhabitants. Practical Agricultarigs, Travellers, and Tourists cf all Nations have concurred in bearingtesthnony to t .e unparalleled scope for remunerative investment, which the counties of • Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, a' d Leitrim, present to; parties possessing ade quate means and ability to reclaim and cultivate the soil, and deve lope the various industrial resources in which this highly favoured district abounds. The principal reason why a larger number of English and Scotch farmus have not - been - induced to take &Er antage of this splendid opening for the profitable employment of their skill and money, has been their reluctance to become isolated settlers in a country where their individual efforts coat effect little in improving the cultivation of the FOB, or in the diminution of the poor -rates ; whilst they en tertain considerable apprehension for the safety of their persons and property, without the co-operation and protection of men possessing like habits and sympathies, and engaged in the pursuit of similar objects. The Directors confidently hope that the project now laid before the public will effect the enlarged realization of the celebrated pro position of Sir Robert Peel for the improvement ens colonization of Co naught. • The absence of Markets has hitherto done mitch to deter persons from becoming settlers, or engaging in any industrial enterprise in the West, this has been mainly attributable to the want of sufficient internal communication and means of intercourse with the metro- Polls ; the latter impediment to progress has already been removed in a great measure by the recent improvements in the navigation of the Shannon and the Western Lakes, and by the opening 9f a line of Railway from Galway to Dublin ; while the now probabl • realiza sion of the long-desired steam communication with America is another obvious source of a hitherto unknown prosperity. The most effectual mole of promoting abetter system of Agricul ture is to bring it into immediate connexion with the manutacture of its own p ro d u e tions; the Company w ill th ere f o re e n co u r age th e growth of sach C o M mercial Plants, ' as ma y form the basis of exten sive and highly remunerative Manutacturec It was the original intention of its promoters, that the Company shoUld itself undertake thesp manufactures, but upon more mature delioera,tion, it has been deemed prudent to limit its object!, and de vote its attentim to the reclaiming, improvement, and. reselling of lUnd alone; at the same time that it is prepared to promote by the means, in its power the cultivation of root and te,xt.le plants so peculiarly suited to the soil and climate of Western Ireland, as Sugar-beet, Flax, Chicory, &e., It is ,needless to insi;i upon the great advantages of a Royal Charter, by which the liability of a shareholder is limited to the amount of his shares, but even were this out of the question, it would he difficult to obtain a better security for the outlay of Capital than improvable land at its pre.ent prices in Western Ireland. A clans t in the Charter provides fur the allocation of one-fourth of the subscribed capital as an " Improvement Fund," to be ex pended in effecting surfaeo and arterial dr-dnage, reclaiming, and generally improving end rendering marketable the estates of the Company. It is further provided, than on the sale of any of the lands of the Company, the produce is to be either divided rateably among the shareholders, or re-invested in further purchases. The fir. ctors feel that it does not become them to speak of the amount of anxiety and deliberation which they have bestowed in framing a plan at once practicable in its details, and worthy of public confidence. but they think, that it ought to be known as a fact ale.dated to errecuragu, those who embark their capital Iu this un dertaking, that the present is the only scheme out of many 'which have been submitted to the tioardnf - Trade, whose professed objects and propo , ed operations have net the approbation of her ...Majesty s Government, as testified by the grant of a Royal Charter and the ap pointment of a Government Auditor. In a review of Mr. Digby Seymour's recent works on Western Ireland, the " Bankers' Magazine" (Jan. 185 . 2), after stating that the Reviewer's intention was to treat the question " simply as a financial one," thus emphatically pronounces its opinion upon the present Nehente, " We believe it has a claim on the attention of capitalists that wit' ensure its success." Other authorities abound in express . ons of a similar confidence, but the Directors feel that a simple statement of the views they entertrin, and the objects of the present undertaking, will not require the aid of authority, or any argument on their parts to ensure its favourable reception with a discerning public. _ . _ They would. in conclusion, adopt the langunio of Mr. Seymour who thus sums up his argument in favour a Land Company, connexion with Western Ireland: "A Land Company, possessing a large tract of country; lestablsh ing the best system of Agriculture, working its Mines and Fisheries — if such there were—introducing new and important manufactures — its whole economy administered by men of skill, rectitude, and per severance—promoting habits of industry most effectually by insur ' mg permanence of employment—opening fr , sh markets in conse quence of the large operations which it alone, possessing au ample capital, could effect —incumbered by no poor-rates, because employ ing the poor—too powerful for the attempts of petty prejudices — too self-reliant to be deterred from Its path by intimidation—uninflu enced itself by sectarianbm, in politics or religion, and offering no impersonation of hostility, but approving itself to the good feeling ~f all by its practical patriotis m —p ossess i ng th e advantage of united counsels and associated energies—attractiug to itself the hopes of all good men, and the confidence of the community- -: •able in its collective capacity to .pproach the G ,vernment with such claims to a fry, unable attention as no private individual could advance — contemporaneous y developing all the resources, agricultural, geolo gical, and manufacturing, 01 its possessions —I say that such a Com pany can alone undertake, wills just hopes of success, a project at once so formidable in its difficulties—so profitable as a in, de of in ves•ment—so full of immediate' blessings, and of future hopes—in its conception, peradventure, weak and unimposing—in its execu tion, I trust, spirited and energetic in its consummation, I would pray, the harbinger of a nobler and happier desliny for reclaimed and regenerated Ireland !" * " How to Employ Capital in Western Ireland."

The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy of this medicine : Winchmore liill, MiEldlesex, April 16, 1851. "Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it. " I am, Sir, es pectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. To Mr. T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and aro a pleasant, safe, easy apperient, they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re straint of diet or confinement during their use.

Isvhaasrveery. The 333 half -yearly GREAT WESTERN. gereral meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at the Paddington statien, Mr. Charles Russell in the chair. After the usual preliminaries, The Cirernerete epeko us follseve:—Grntlemen, the greater facility of obtaining money, which for acme tiato pin: has existed, has f=ail - ter:de:icy to give e renewed impulse to railway specuiation, and I was at one time apprehensive that we were about to eriesers ss recces, nee of the yea 1845 and 1816. But, fortunately, th e gone sense of the country and the rseecre expsrieeee of no distant period have prevailed. Many of the most im provident and hasty speculations which were suggested have failed from the utter discouregement they re ceived; and I hope we zany now trust to the Legislature to wit severely those schemes which still remain. (Hear, hear.) Under the circurnstalees, tee have felt it oar duty to observe those principles which we have for some time prescribed to ourselves. When overtures were made to us to promote lines towards the West of England, which were thought to bo adva,ntageons to ourselves at the expense of our neighbours, we at once declined them; and we have on all oc casions resolutely set our faces against all ex tensions and branches which were not required by an imperative public necessity, or which were not calculated to afford a remunerative return for the capital to be invested in them.—(Cheers.) In pur suing that course, I believe wo consulted no less the general interests of the country than the partieular in terests of railway companies. The returns of traffic for the kingdom for some time show that those extensions, and branches, and new lines which have b een l as t ma d e scarcely afford the means of working them.—(Bear, hoar.) To employ capital in such enterprises is.not only injurious to those who may be misled into investing iheir money in them, but it is a waste of the national re ources. It may be extremely convenient to towns end villages to have railways passing close to them, but this is a consideration totally different from the commercial question, which simply is, " Will the lines pay ?" and that is the only question with which railway companies have to deal.—(Hear, hear.) If railways are to be made for these reasons, the onus of the cost should fall, not on the shoulders of existing railway companies, but of those who aro to derive benefit and convenience from their construction.—(Cheers.) Wo have endeavoured to bear these principles in mind in the arrangements we have made with the new railway companies, which arrangements are to be submitted in the report for your approval. The influential inhabitants of the county of Hereford are desirous to have a line of railway from Gloucester, by Ross, to Hereford, and they have fairly met the responsibilities of that de sire—they have subscribed largely for the purpose. Such assistance as it is in our power to afford them we have cordially rendered, and will continue to render to them. We have transferred to them, at reduced rater, land which we had purchased for our own line. We have consented to facilitate their obtaining capital. by permitting their debentures to have the first lien on the receipts ; and we undertake to work their lino on very moderato terms ; and we have negotiated with the Forest of Dean Railway Com pany that they shall take a considerable amount of capital in the concern. Such assistance it was reason able in them to ask, and such assistance we were enabled to afford without any verygreat sacrifice to you. In the same way the counties through which our Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway passed were desirous that that line should be completed. They also have taken the burden in a great measure on themselves, and have formed a company for the purpose of completing that line. The assistance that we have rendered to them is of a different and of a more extensive character. We have consented to surrender to their use the un finished works which we have ourselves made in that direction, on the condition that they shall return to us those works completely finished at the expiration of a stipulated term, and for a moderate, specified amount. This arrangement suited the purposes of both parties. It suited us to have our line completed without incurring any additional expenditure, and without any extension of our capital ; it suited them to get a line on such moderate terms that they are fully assured that they will derive a fair rata of interest for the money they employ upon it, and that they will be able also to form a sinking fund which shall replace their capital at the end of the term, when they must de liver the line up to us. In both these arrangements you will observe that we have kept in view the principle to which I have adverted—to require that local districts shall themselves provide local means for local purposes, and that we shall only render such assistance to them as will prove no burden either on your resources or your capital. The Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester Company have, I observe from the newspapers, already com menced their operations, and I hope the Frome, Yeovil, And Weymouth Company will suortly be in a condition to do the same. With respect to our northern lines, .hey stand on a very different footing. These lines ere the result of a contest in which we succeeded in pre venting our own district from being intersected from north to south and from east to west by narrow e on() lines. They were un d er t a k en f or purposes of defence.'l Large sums of money had been expended on them. It sees impossible to recede from them, the enly course that remained to us was that which wae recommended by your committee of on sultation--tt recommendation in which we most cordially concurred—that we should finish those lines with the utmost possible expedition. When we last met we had just failed in two earnest endeavours that we had made to come to an amicable arrangement with the London and North-Western Ccmpany, and in cons?. (pence of that failure we had entered into an alliance with the Shrewsbury companies. We have since com pleted that arrangement by entering into an agreement with the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Com pany. I regret that that agreement should have assumed the form of a guarantee, and, for myself, I should rather have preferred that it had been a mere traffic arrange ment.—(Hear, hear.) But the gross receipts of that line already nearly equal the annual amount that is parte teed to it by the three companies. The question therefore is little more than one of working expenses, sad there can be no doubt that, when it shall be com pleted and in operation together with the other com panies, its income will be fully sufficient to meet this additional expense. A SHAREHOLDER—Never. The CHAIRMAN—However, the ease was surrounded by difficulties, and I believe that the arrangement we have made was the only safe and practicable arrange ment that we could make. Bills for the purpose of giving effect to these arrangements have been sent by the examiner to the Standing Orders Committee, but Wiz on extremely unimportant and technical points, and we have uo doubt that they will be easily set right by that Committee. I am told that we are to expect formidable opposition to these Bills, but I con fess I um at a loss to understand on what Public grounds they are to be resisted. We do not ask for sanction to any new line; all wo ask is, the sanction of the Legislature to make arrangements between companies having continuous lines already sanc tioned, and which have a common interest. The only question that can, as it seems to me, be raised is, shall these lines be worked in a manner which shall bo advan tageous to the companies to whom they belong, and con venient to the public for whose use they were made, or shall they be obstructed and intersected for the benefit of a rival company? This seems to me to me to be the only question, divested of all ingenious sophistries, which can possibly be raised; and when I hear of a renewal of the battle of the gauges, and of the long and protracted contests for which large sums have been hoarded, I own lam surprised. I may have an overweening confidence in the strength of our own case; but I must say that it seems to me that the only question that can be raised is one that will admit of but one, and that a very early and easy, solution, and that a ommittee of either House of Parliament, with the common sense and practical manner in which they treat such questions, will dispose of this matter in a very few days. lam far from deny ing that it is natural that the London and North-Western Company should regard with feelings of uneasiness and dissatisfaction our approach towards the north. But they should not altogether forget that these re sults are the consequence of that policy which thei themselves thought fit to pursue towards us. t was not to injure them ; it was to defend our selves against aggression from the north and from bestthe south, that we—how reluctantly, those about me know—wore compelled to push forward our advanced posts to Birmingh a m and Wolverhampton, and to make_ alliances with northern companies. —(Hear, h e an) I_ will not affirm ono word which I am not capablestage proving by written evidence.—(Hear.)

The only additions to the railways worked have been 4i- miles of single line between Westbury and Warminster, which branch was opened on the 9th. Sept, last; and 7A miles (the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway) opened on the 19th Sept. between Gloucester and Grange Court, at which point it unites with the South Wales Railway. The excess of passengers during the half-year, upon a comparison with the same period of the year 1850, shows the following result:—More passengers conveyed, 447,549 ; increased receipt, 123,4271. Of that number 266,645 persons were con veyed in excursion trains, yielding an excess of 43,3291. over the excursion traffic during the corresponding half year of 1850. There has been an increase of 24,073 tons of merchandise conveyed, which, with some minor sources of income, have produced an additional receipt of 8,519/. Of this 108,246/. may be treated as the gross receipts derived from travellers visiting the Great Exhibition and agricultural meet i ng at Windsor. The total additional charge for all the earnings of the half-year is only 20,846/. The result of the half-year, after bringing to account the previous balance, and pro viding for every prior claim, enables the directors to suggest on this occasion an increased dividend, which they recommended to be 2i per cent. for the half-year, payable at the usual time. This reserves a balance to be carried over, which the directors consider sufficient, after paying mortgage interest, and all guaranteed divi dends on preferential stock, &c., to secure a dividend on the ordinary rateable stock of the company of at least 4 per cant, per annum, from the time when th e p urc h ase of the Bi rm i ng h am and Oxford, and Birmingham, Wol verhampton and Dudley Railways shall have been com pleted, and the capital be charged against revenue, until both those lines shall have been entirely constructed, and their proper traffic acquired. In order to complete at the new Paddington station the departure lines, roof, and platforms for passengers, with booking offices, &c., and a new merchandizo shed, as well as to proceed with the erection of general offices for the business of the company, warehouses for merchandize, stores for grain, and goods offices, together with two convenient depots, the one for landing cattle and the other for un loading coals, iron, and other heavy goods at the 'London terminus, it is requisite to apply for a further vote of 65,0001. at this meeting, besides 10,0001. to pay for land, which must be purchased as a site for some of those purposes, and for a new engine -house, with buildings, sidings, &c., for the use of the locomo tive department at Paddington. Your directors have been for some time in negotiation with gentlemen who have local interests to promote in Weymouth, or between Weymouth and Frome, for the prosecution of the unfinished works of the Wilts and Somerset Rail way within that district, being a distance of about fifty three miles; and they are happy to report that an agree ment has been entered into, by which they undertake to find the capital necessary to complete the works and sta tions of the railway, to be worked on the broad gauge, and in connexion with Great Western trains. This company are to grant to the promoters a lease of the property for a period of twenty-five years, with the be neficial use of the works and land, at a merely nominal rent, and are to provide locomotive plant without pront, for working the line during the lease; at the expiration of which this comp an y w ill b e entited to redeem the whole in goei t coedition es a double line of railway, with stations and appurtenances, upon paying 100,0004 to the promoters. A Eill is before Parliament for au thorising. and confirming the said agreement, es well as for giving effect to the purchase of the Kennet and Avou Canal, urd for improving the junction with the Oxford Railway at Didcot, by making a short avoiding lino there, essential to the convenience and grea'er safety, as well as expedition, of the trains' which will have to run throughout towards the north. A separate Bill has been introduced to secure the complrtion of the short lino between the Birming ham nod Wolverhampton Railway at Priestfield and the to en of Wolverhampton, which originally formtd a portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway. Since the last half-yearly meeting was held in Bristol, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company Passed a resolution adopting the recent agree:at nt between the two companies —but with a stipu lation —the effect of which would have been to bind this company to all their liabilities, as well as to complete the railway; and subsequently to pay to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton shareholders, 30/. as principal, or 303. per annum as interest, for every ori ginal share, the n worth in the market about ' 15/. Your directors did not think themselves justified in acceding to a condition so entirely at variance with the principles upon which they had undertaken to negotiate for the lease of that railway. The agreement under the common seal of that company still remains in abeyance—no resolution of proprietors having been proposed to reject it—while the directors who made the agreement have considered themselves at liberty, without even the sarction,of a general meeting of share holders, an.d in manifest defian ce o f t h eir engagements, to employ the name and funds and credit of tho com• pany to promote a third line of railway between London and Oxford, even before they have obtained sufficient capital to complete their original undertaking. Your directors deem it their paramount duty to take every means for rendering the individuals who have been par ties to such misapplication of the property liable for the expenditure, as well as to frustrate the objects of any application to Parliament to sanction such a scheme. An agreement has been concluded with the Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester Railway Company, by which certain lands previously purchased by this company have been disposed of by them, in order that they may proceed at One with the works upon their line to Hereford, which is to be constructed on the broad gauge, and when COlL p!eted this company have engaged to work it for their account. Bills to confirm and carry out the amalgamation of the two Shrewsbury companies with this company, and also to authorise a lease or con ti nge nt amalgamation of theßirkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Rail wayrlia with m n. t the three associated companies, are also before P The necessity of an early completion of the docks at b e comes daily Plymouth is obvious, and the measure more important in consequence of the the Government several new con tracts for postal steamers into which have entered, or of which notice has been given, and the • arrival final adoption of that port for depart ure and must depend upon the dock accommodation being oh ' - on tained. Your directors recommend at a re so lutt should be passed at this meeting, to enable them to aet range, concurrently with other companies or p ersons, to afford further assistance to an amount not exceeding 13,000/., either by advance upon debentures, or by pre ferential stock of the dock company, or upon both. cecu ritie:." The CHAIRMAN proposed the adoption of the report. Mr. OLIVEIRA thought that in it the directors had treated the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton with too much severity and harshness. He hoped still to see an arrangement made by which expense would he saved to both companies, of one of whi c h (the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton) he • Was a director. Mr. JESSEL also wished to promote the I • nterests of both lines; and, with that object, see them entering into some amicable arrangement. Mr. DE WINTON said there a feeling in this directory.—(« gear, to bo a ous ' ear, hear," and 'No, no.")

In conclu sion, he begged to ask whether what had been stated in the newspapers, that en amicable arrangement had been come to by th e companies was true, and whether it would put an end to the contest?

Should, however, half or two-thirds of the now it arose not so much from the absence of natural resources, each as climate, soil, and fisheries, as from their non deve lopment. The cultivation of flax in the Highlaeds. which would afford adequate employment for all the existing po aulation, had for some years been advocated by the society, nd the aid of Government was now solicited to enable it to assist in the erection of scuthing-mills, and in instructing the small tenantry in such economical husbandry a s Would obviate those appeals'to stave off destitution, which, without such permanent improvements, threaten to be perennial. As auxiliaries to this great and generally, applicable object, the deputation also respectfully urged the establishment of a more rapid communication with the outer Hebrides, by means of mail steam-packets, and by encouraging the formation of the Oben Railway. The Rev. J. KENNEDY observed that Sir John AfTeill had represented to Government that unless the population were reduced to the level of the existing resources, some fearful calamity would, pr o b a bl y , ere long overtake' them, and the Government Emigration Bill was passed accordingly. It appeared, however, that that measure had been inoperative, and he had just received a communi cation in which he was assured that in one district two thirds of the population would, by the end of this month, have consumed the seed they should have reserved for their land. Under these circumstances, he re spectfully suggested that there existed an urgent necessity for Government to aid such measures of permanent im provement as had been suggested, particularly as he was in formed, on the authority of Lord Macdonald's factor, that the extraordinary power granted to poor.law inspectors last year of giving relief to extremely destitute, i but able bodied persons, would not be rene we d thi s year, inasmuch as some ratepayers had objected against its legality. Sir G. GREY expressed his sympathy with the destitute people in the Highlands, but feared the malady then had become a chronic one. Parliament was very averse to making local grants, and he thought the more Govern ment abstained from direct interference the better, as by such interference they frequently checked natural and legi timate sources of operation. Before granting money to the Highlands he thought Parliament would require the poor law of Scotland to be assimilated to that of England. The Rev. linarar MAcaniszna having suggested the infu sion of greater utility into the Scottish Fishery Board, and that it should teach and aid the west coast population to be come more successful fishers, he said it was distressing to see a peaceful and manly race like those Highlanders decaying away from the face of the earth, for the want of a little sti mulus and aid. Sir G. GREY observed that the Government had taken pains last year to ascertain the condition of the West High landers, and they had been told that eleemosynary aid had proved very baneful to their habits ; that they appeared t o think others would keep them from starving. and to be con tent with that, and averse to going five miles away to pro cure work, although he understood that labourers were re quired in other parts of Scotland. Mr. C. Fonzes said, in Aberdeenshire he had- often seen poor people far away from their homes, travelling in search of employment. aura' APPriEasost could testify to the industry of these people. His own population being fully employed, he had in affecting drainage and other improvements to employ labourers from a distance, and these were all from Skye. Colonel Sir D. M‘DonGaer. observed that the staple em ployment of West Highlanders had been annihilated by the Legislature in admitting barilla, and he felt that they had a stronger claim upon Government than any other parties in the United Kingdom. As as old Highlander, he bore testimony to the admirable patience and fortitude with which those poor people had endured greater privation than auy of their fellow-subjects. Meal had generally been a luxury, and potatoes and salt their ordinary diet. He thought Go vernment should mark its estimation of their exemplary conduct by promoting such measures as these for th e i r per manent improvement. • After some further remarks, Mr. Foanes thanked Sir G. , k p in a d ri reee iatne p n ti t o . whendeputation, it wasavrhesi Which thenresolved tal re a t the publication of their commissioner's report as to the state and pis spects of the West Highlanders was highly desirable, tGurrenyedfotrol his B n st‘ P re f e t t, he audit was accordingly ordered to be printed. ADELPHI THEATRE.

A new piece, 77. c Leghorn Bonnet, is to be produced on Monday next. OLYMPIC TiIEATRE. A farce, stated to be " entirely original," was produced with complete success at this theatre last evening, under , the title of Matrimonial—A Gentlema n , 6 - e . I t i s fu ll of broad, side-splitting fan. A gentle man puts an adver tisement in a Sunday paper for a wife and it is ans wered by an elderly lady, who sends her maid to conduct him to the appointed rendezvous. The maid, however, finds another person oa the spot, who is the lovfr of her mistress's niece, and brings him instead. This eauscs all manner of ludicrous mistakes, until, of course, all ends happily. Like most productions, tho farce will bear a little curtailment. The dialogue is lively and smart, and the incidents highly diverting, Compton and Snalders filled the principal parts with extraordinary humour, and the piece is certain to have a good run.

The arrangements of last night were upon the usual complete and liberal scale. llenderson•s band was in office, and the company, amounting to about 3:10 individuals, entered into the Terpsichorean pleasures of the moment with unrelaxing energy and spirit. The ball, in short, was a gratifying illustration of the harmony and good will that animate the Scottish families of the metropolis. There was obviously much personal enjoyment, but what was better there seemed to be great concord and unity of feeling—the sympathies of friendship as well as the acci dental cheerfulness of a merry-making. NOVEL EMPLOYMENT OF INDIARIIIIDER.—Au in genious discovery, by which indiarubber and gutta perch* are rendered applicable to the formation of artificial features, and to the covering of artificial limbs, has been made by Mr. F. Gray, of Cork-street. By this discovery the necessity of what is called the Taliacotian operation, in supplying the place of a lost nose to the face, is removed, for that feature can be formed, and, as it were, grafted on the integuments in such a manner as closely to resemble nature. The human ear can also be closely imitated by the substance produced by the mixture of the g ums o f w hi c h i n di a rubber and gutta percha are constituted. in respect to artificial Sande, the material of which they are formed can be covered with this substance, which perfectly resembles the na tural skin and is a l most equa ll y flexible. So complete is th e deception, that, without the closest inspection, it is nearly impossible to discover that art has superseded nature. This invention is among th os e which prove t he g re at variety of uses to w hi c h the materials employed in it can be glass, the size of ' applied.
