We announce with sincere regret the very sudden and untimely death of a young dramatic artist and vocalist — one of the members of a family celebrated for their musical talents—and who has been for some years back a rising public favourite both in London and in the pro vinces—Miss Annie Romer. The lamented young lady in question was a pupil of the Royal Academy of Music, and gave early and unmistakeable signs of future emi nence. Her voice was a pure and fresh soprano of large compass and finely sympathetic powers, and an early appearance upon the stage showed that Miss A. Romer possessed dramatic talents of a decided cha racter. During an engagement at the Princess's Tneatre, in Mr. Maddox's operatic management, Miss A. Romer made a very favourable and prominent impression, the sweet and pure qualities of her voice and the simple naivete of her style being equally noticeable. Her dra matic talents attracting the attention of Mr. Macready, she more than once sustained the female parts at per formances at the country residence of Sir Bulwer Lyt ton, and when the amateur performances were got up for the Shakspere-house Fund, Miss A. Romer filled the principal female character. Upon Mr. Webster getting together his present operatic company, she was a member, but afterwards accepted a more prominent engage men t a t the Surrey during its recent successful musical campaign, where ono of her last characters was that of the Princess in The Huguenots. Miss Annie !touter—we have retained her stage appellation—had been rou married not a b ove a twelvemonth to Mr. William gh, th e e ld er of the b rot h ers w h ose exc eedingly c -9 known.urleEques have rendered their names so wet!

The doors of the New House of Commons was thrown open soon after twelve o'clock, the entrance being through Westminster Hall; but until the hour ap proached for the arrival of her Majesty, there was not a very full attendance of m —embers. During the recess the interior of the House has • as b een wonderfully improved. The prevailing colo ur of the fitti ng s is dark green , relieved with g old ornaments; while the ventila tion is obtained by means of low stained glass windows; but at night the House is lighted with eight massive c h an d e liers in bronze , suspended from the ce i l i ng by a thick crimson rope. It should be observed also that the colour of the two boxes at the end of th e table, which some Hon. Members are so fond of rapping in the heat of debate, has also been changed from r e d to green. The roof is low and heavy, and up on first entering, the chamber has an excessively sombre asp ect, but this feeling gradually subsides a s the e y e become s familiarised to the place. Nevertheles s there is a great d e fi c i ency of light in the day time, and i f something eould be done to remedy this defect the house would be as 'comfort able as it is handsome. The Reporter's Gall ery , an d the retiring apartments attached to it are fitted up in the same elaborate style; and we are bound to say, that the convenience of the Reporters has bean "at consulted to the fullest possible extent. !ludas, - Amongst the earliest members in atten M r. Br dance, we noticed Sir R. H. Inglis, Sir David D therton, Mr. Muntz, Sir Joshua Walmsley, Lo rd Dudley Stuart, Mr. Sharman Crawford, Sir B. hall, Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Hume, Mr. Spooner, and Mr. Roebu c k. The form of balloting for posi tions in t he Speaker's train, on his progress to the House of Peers, as adopted towards the close of last S ession, w as acted upon to-day, and each Me mber as he e n t ered the House, advanced to the table, wrote his name on a s li p of paper, and placed it in the ballot -box in front of the senior clerk, Sir Denis Le Marchant. The Speaker, attired in his State robes and attended by the Sergeant-at-Arms, Lor d Charles Russ ell, entered the House at half-past one o'clock, and immediately afterwards prayers were read by the Speaker's chaplain. At this time the House on both sides was tolerably well filled, and the table being much crowded, many Hon. Members had a scramble t o g et their na mes into the ballot-box. Mr. Hayter, the M inisterial ~w hipper-in," made his appearance upon the floor about e! quarter to two, and was for some time occupied seemingly in wel com i ng his supporters upon returning to their Pa rli amentary duti es . Major Beresfurd, who is supposed to stand in the same important relation to the Opposition side of the House, was also present, paying similar com pliments, no doubt, to his friends; but while Mr. Hayter looked gloomy and downcast, the Major looked quite fresh and lively, and appeared to be on the best of terra with himself and his party.

A DISGRACEFUL CIRCUMSTANCE.--A short time ago, we are informed, a poor woman named Jackson was de livered of a still-born child at W haplode Drove. The clergy man demanded 9s. 2d. fees, and the sexton ls. tid., for the interment of the same. The poor man was not able to raise this amount; so at midnight be interred his child in a recently made grave. The circumstance being made known, the sexton, with his iron " grave-taster," proceeded to search for the morsel of humanity : he found it, took it up, and it was placed for one night in a closet in the churchyard. Afterwards the child was taken and placed before the poor man's door, accompanied with a most unchristia n note. The child had been interred about eight weeksl Jfercury, Stamford DERBY. 8 to 1 agst Mr. Merry's Hobble Noble—taken 12 to 1 agst Lord Zetland's Augur 14 to i agst Mr. J.

TEL—The market is quiet, and last week's deliveries were scarcely so large. TOBACCO.—There has been a fair extent of business transacted during the present month, especially for home trade ; and the market may be considered urns. Holders have shown no disposition to press sales, and offers for parcels of western strips, at rates correspond ing with those paid for about 600 hhds referred to in our last, have been declined. Latest advices from Rich mond and New Orleans represent markets steady, with a limited business, and which was presumed would con tinue until the new crop came to market. It is thus stated in a letter:—" Regarding the future value of the incoming crop we are not among those who anticipate low figures, notwithstanding the increased production of this year. It must not be overlooked that we have had a succession of short crops for several seasons, and that the Continental Stocks are by no means ade quate to their future wants. The stocks in the United States are likewise light compared with last season. In Virginia sales have been upwards of 140 hhds; a large portion o f whi c h consis t ed of fine quality of old imports at full prices. For Kentucky leaf and strips the demand has continued steady. Manufacturers, in s ome instances, have purchased their usual supplies on the supposition that present rates may be fully relied on. There is no estimate yet formed of the quantity of strip. to be put up this season deserving consideration, but the feeling appears to be generally entertained that opera tions will bo entered into with great caution. Maryland has been in less demand , and prices, e xcepting very celery, have given way from id to per lb. In Havannah Tobacco several sales have been effected at firm rates. sionppfaiyir o d f e a m ui a t n a d b , la b d o e t s h er f ip or_ Havannah Cigars have been home trade and exportation; tions, for general trade purposes, for some time past has not exceeded the demand..

In Brazil, Ha vannah, Seed Leaf, Florida,i and Porto Rico, almost nothing has been done. Sales l of German have been li mited, and chiefly of fine selected sorts for cigar purposes, at lower rates; for cutting purposes demand has fallen off considerably, and quotations have been redueed. Co lumbian (Ambatema and Gir on ) of fine quality has met a rea dy sale at former Prices; other sorts inacti ve , a t lower rates. In Amerafoort very little has been done. In Negrohead and Cavendish the demand has been mode rate, at reduced rates.

The interest and dividend income exceeded the sum required to pay the 365. per share, and would enable the directors to give a further bonus of 2s. Gd. per share, in addition to the septennial bonus and the usual dividend, and they hope from the same source to give a like bonus for the rest of the present septennial period. The balance of assurance fund to Dec., 1850, was 3,122,38 8 / 4 ba lance of guarantee fund, same date, 457,229/., making 3 , 579,617/4 to which add rece i pts f or 1851, 40 5 , 911 /.; a nd deducting the pay ments, l e f t t h e balance of assets for Dec., 1851, 3,790,376/.;—thus appropriated, as surance fund, 3,3331. 14s. 6d.; guarantee fund, 457,2291.
