Patronised by the Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, &c. " In its appearance there is a gentlemanly neatness, and an ab sence of all unsightly vulgarity. It has met with the highest appro bation in the Court circle." (See Morning Post.) This invention is an over-coat, adapted for a variable climate, composed of the purest Llama wool. The fleece of this singular animal is naturally repellent of water, yet is amply porous to admit a due escape of bodily heat, and is allowed to be lighter, softer, more durable, and more elastic, than any other description of cloth. Registered Paletots of this fabric, in colours black, blue, brown, olive, Oxford grey, &c., are to be had of their recognised agents in the country, and in London only at the extensive ware-rooms of the Patentees, who are tailors to the Court, and makers of the most fashionable plain dress garments, with Foreign and British diplo matic and regimental uniforms. In these the same spirit for mo derate prices is maintained as exemplified by thaßegistered Paletot. The patronage so generally bestowed on this patented invention, has induced some unprincipled persons an attempt the fraudulent imposition of assuming a similarity of name; being an attempt to deceive the public with some trashy substitute. A reward of Fifty Pounds is offered for the actual detection of an infringement. Messrs. Nicoll think it due to their own reputation thus respect fully to caution the Public, and to request a close observance of the address, and that each Registered Paletot is distinctly marked on the inside, 11.

The American Institute for the Encouragement of Science awarded to the Inventor of this article a silver medal in token of their approval of the invention. This strop may be obtained of the principal cutlers In London and Paris. Manufactory, 25, Strand. PUBLICATIOAJS. THE GREAT BELL OF ST.

Her Majesty's Theatre opened last evening for the season, under the same management as last year, but under a new proprietorship. Mr. Lumley is no longer merely the lessee, he is the proprietor of Her Majesty's Theatre, and sincerely do we congratulate the habitues of the Italian Opera 02 that fact. From the moment that Mr. Lumley became lessee, a change a great and salutary change was observed in the character of the performances. Her Majesty's Theatre became, what it always ought to have been, the first lyrical theatre in Europe. Since Mr. Lumley has become proprietor, as great a change has taken place in the fitting up of the interior of the house. The theatre has been entirely redecorated, and instead of tee pit and the boxes presenting a mere dea 1 mass of white paint, with a small gold ornament in the centre of each panel, they are now painted in encaustic, in medalions from the master-pieces of Raffaelle, Anniable Carracci, Guilio Romano, and from the antique, the s p aces b etween the medalions being fills lup by the richest arabasque work. The ceiling is an imitation of that of the Villa Madonna, which was designed by Raffeelle and Guilio Romano, to which have been ailed the Aurora of Guido and the Elements by Albano. The proscenium is most gorgeously, yet at the same time most tastefully, decorated. The boxes have been new lined with chintz, and the old red cur t a i ns an d h ang i n g have been removed, and new curtains and hangings of a rich - amber satin substituted for them. A new and magnificent cut-glass chandelier, with the lights inside the drops, has been substituted in place of the old one, and altogether the interior of the theatre is perhaps the most magnificent, and at the same time the most tasteful in the world. It is worthy of the aristocracy of a great nation. As we before said, the theat re opene d for the season last evening, and shortly before eight o'clock Mr. Balfe, the new conductor, took his seat in the orchestra, and was warmly welcomed on his appearance. The opera chosen for the opening was 'Verdi's Nabuco (produced here under the name of Nino.) There is always some difficulty in unmarvelling the plot of an opera, and therefore we are right glad when the author (as in the present instance) has been kind enough to develop his plot in the introluction to his libretto, which he has done as follows ; Diodorus asserts, that Nines was the first King of Assyria, but It would seem that he confounds him with his father Bolas, It is, however, certain that he was one of the most renowned conquerors of Assyria; having, in the space of 17 years, subdued numberless countries from Egypt to India and Bactriana. Many historians, ac cording to Rollin, relate that Niuus made use of the Assyrians to enslave the Babylonians, and it is on this belief, that the following story is founded :—The first act then of Ninus, after having made his triumphal entry into Babylon, is to profane the temple of Isis, and to lead Use principal inhabitants of the conquered city, prisoners to Nineveh. Fenena, the daughter of Ninus, is appointed Regent here, during her father's absence, but Abigail, la slave and a supposed daughter of Ninus, is intriguing to attain that dignity for herself. Ninus, however, having succeeded in completely subduing the Babylonians, returns in time to frustrate her ambitious designs. But inflated by pride, he at last eannet endure that even a god should be worshipped in prefer ence to him. Heaven, offended by his overweening arrogance, causes him to be struck by a thunderbolt, which reduces him to a state of imbecility. Taking advantage of this Abigail tells him that Fenena has embraced the religion of the Babylonians, and prevails upon him to sign her death-warrant. Ninus, overcome by the weight of his misfortunes, in vain implores pity from the proud, relentless Abigail; she, however, only answers him with reproaches for her abject birth. The auspicious hour at length arrives. Ninus, struck with repentance, invokes the god of his enemies, pardons them, saves his daughter, and once more resumes his royal sceptre. So much for the plot. The cast was as follows : Ninus (King of the Assyrians), sig. Fornasari; Idaspe, (a de scend. nt of the ancient Kings of Babylon), Sig. Corelli • Orotaspe, (a Slave, supposed to be the eldest Daughter of Ninus), ' Signora ait chioli ; Fenena (Daughter of Ninus), Signora Corbari; an Assyrian Priest, Sig. Giubilei ; Abdallo (an old officer of the King of the As syrians), Sig. Die noel ; Anna (Sister of Orotaspe), Signora Bellied. In the first part the scene takes place is Babylon ; the others in Nineveh. It will be seen, from the above list of the characters, that two ladies, Signora Corbari and Signora Sanchioli, appeared last evening, for the first time, on the boards of her Majesty's Theatre. Signora Corbari possesses a soprano voice of great sweetness; but, as it struck us, of no great power, although on this point it is scarcely possible to form a judgment at present, as it was evident that last night she was dreadfully nervous, and failed to do justice to herself at the commence ment of the opera; but she gathered courage as she pro ceeded, and in the last act she gave the beautiful and deli cate air, "Oh! dischiuso e it firmamento," in the most ex quisite manner imaginable, and was rapturously en cored. Of Signora Sanchioli we can speak without any hesitation, possessing a good person, expressive and beautiful features, great histrionic powers, pro found musical knowledge, and a voice, which for power, compass, and cultivation, can only be compared to Malibrates. Her 's has been the most successful debut at her Majesty's Theatre since the memorable debut of Grisi ; and we hail Signora Sanchioli as the future prima donna assoluta. We had formed great expectations of Verdi from hearing his Ernani last season, and these expectations have been more than realised by his .Nino. To the graceful melody of the Italians be unites the profound learning of the Germans; his choruses are full, massive, harmonious as those of Weber or Beethoven ; his melodies are graceful as those of Bellini or Donizetti, without the thinness of the former, or the plagiarism of the latter. Nino is the greatest Italian opera that has been produced since Semiramide. In the character of his genius. Verdi ap proaches nearer Mozart than any other composer; 'there is the same profound knowledge of orchestral resources, and the same tasteful appropriation of delicate melody. Ye has already done great things, but what he has already done will be as nothing in comparison with what he will do, if he devotes himself steadily to his art, and writes as he has hitherto dared, for the purpose of producing an opera that is a work great and complete as a whole, as contradis tinguished from a series of solos, duets, and trios, con cocted to minister to the vanity of certain singers, and connected together by a series of musical common places which have been too often produced, and too often applauded, too, under the name of an opera. The opera of Nino is a great work—a complete work—so complete that it is almost impossible to particularise or to point out "the gem of the opera," as it is called. The opera itself is "one entire and perfect chrysolite "—a work which, to be duly appreciated, must be heard again and again—a work in which every connoisseur will revel—unitingasit does, the beauties of the Italian and the German schools. We have spoken of the histrionic powers of Signora San chioli. Her acting, as Abigail, the slave Empress, was most artistica' ; there was all the p r id e , th e waywardness, the self-will, the decision of the despot, but it was the despot who had been a slave. There was not the calm dignity of conscious power, but the head long fiery impatience of contradiction of the slave usurper This was a touch of nature, finely conceived, and most artis tically developed. Fornasari's Ninus was very fine—superior even to his Belisario. In the first two acts nothing could exceed the reckless haughtiness and pride of his demeanour in the earlier scenes, until his crown is struck from his head by lightning. His look of horror when this took place, and his subsequent maniac scenes were terrifically true to nature. In the third act his humility to Abigail, as he beseeches her to spare Fenena, was most pathetic; and when at last his reason is restored, and the old man, once more getting possession of his sword, marches at the head of his troops to dethrone the usurper, Fornasari was magnificent—taken as a whole,'it is not often that an opera so excellent in itself, and so excellently sup ported throughout, is produced even at Her Majesty's Theatre. The National Anthem having been sung, the new ballet of Catarina was produced, the plot of n hid), as circu lated in the theatre, is as follows : This Ballet comprises a passage in the life of the great painter, Salvator Rosa—whose story, lik e hi s p i ctures, is highly picturesque, and has a dreamy distance, affording full scope to the imagination of the observer, and ample latitude for any appropriate suppesititiotte addition. The Italian Painter had a most venturous existence—one moment g ici ed the h r i , lan p open nocturnalda)duelat Naples, uki d e rtreading the very a wall s band f o o f thear tistic in the cause of It a li an liberty, in the Inturrectian of st the Spani s h oppressors of the land. But the ha bitual resorts of Salvator Rosa were the glens and fastnesses of the mountains, where he sought congenial inspiration for the composi tion of his pictures ;—such a taste had he for this scenery, that it gave rise to the assertion, that lie had been himself a brigand—a calunmy historians have triumphantly disproved : As the ballet begins, Salvator, in one of his excursions in search of the picturesque, has fallen into the hands of the brigands ; they are engaged in robbing his person ; over these reckless men his sketches scattered about fail to exercise the same influence Lulovico Ariosto's poetry did in similar circumstances. But soon arrives ono, in whose bosom exists a deep and innate admiration for art ; it is Catarina, the daughter of a captain of banditti, who, at her father's death, hes inherited his power over the brigands of the mountain, and whose lieutenant and aide-de-camp is Diavolino, a young brigand. full of daring and fertile invention, and secrely in love with his fair captain. Catarina releases Salvator Rosa, and he feels so deep an interest in her, that he advises her to abandon her dangerous career and follow him to more peaceful scenes. This Catarina refuses, and Salvator retires with deep regret. But soon the mountain fastness where Catarina marshals her chosen body of Amazons, is beleaguered by troops. Catarina and Diavolino fly after a hard conflict, when resistance becoakes unavailing—and they take refuge at an inn at the gates of Rome, where they bribe the host to conceal them, and disuise them in garments of more peaceful aspect. They are hardly tray, stied before the troops arrive with their pri soners; part of the soldiers come in to take refreshment, and are served by Catarina, who soon attracts their attention by her graceful bounding steps, and their boisterous applause excites the curiosity of the other soldiers without, who one by one rush out and pursue them. But join their comrades. Diavolino avails himself of this op hroais companions, at the report of Cata rina and Diavolino themselves are shortly pursu e d aga i n; a ft er various adventures they take refuge, led by Catari na ' s par ti a lit y, i n rvh d o u se nit fl y igh t t o th l e ibe so ra ld te iers the studio of Salvator, at the very moment he is a prey to regretful reminiscence of the bold mountain beauty. Here, however, they are agaiu traced; Salvator strives to save them from their pursuers, but Catarina is ultimately seized and taken to prison. Here Mayo lino, who has escaped, conies to deliver her, but d evoured by jea lousy, he seeks to enforce the condition of her never seeing Salvator Rosa, whom he swears he will kill at the first opportunity. Catarina relents —they rejects this condition, Diavolino ofth escape. Th en th e scene changes to the masqued r evels e Carnival.

The pas stratigique is very novel ; Lucille Grahn, as Cata rina, manceuvres a whole regiment of female musqueteers, who go through the manual and platoon exercise in a manner which would not disgrace a regiment of her Ma jesty's guards.

NORTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.—Mr. Bailey, the Conservittiva proposer of the Earl of Lincoln, has issued the following ad • dress : TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE NORTHERN DIVISION OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. Gentlemen,—Though still retaining the opinion express ed by me at the day of nomination, that the election of Lord Lincoln as the representative of this division, might with comparative ease, and at small expense, have been secured, had prompt and efficient means been adopted for accompish ing so desirable an o bje c t ; y e t now finding that his Lord ship's disinclination to be brought forward has created a considerable objection among the influential friends of free trade in this district to enter upon a contest, and being un willing to occasion to Lord H. Bentinck any unnecessary trouble or expense, such as would be unavoidble upon the carrying on an election, I have to request,' as a particular favour that the friends of Lord Lincoln.will altogether abstain from tendering votes for him at any of the polling-places of the division, in order that as little excitement and trouble may be occasioned to any one as is possible under existiog circumstances. " I am, Gentlemen, yours most obediently, " Basford, March 2, 1846." "THOMAS BAILEY. Lord Henry Bentinck's friends believe, that had the Earl been bond fide in the field a week before the election, he would have stood a fair chance of being returned ; the weight of votes in the southern part of the division would have over balanced those of the "Dukeries" in the northern part of the division. Notwithstanding this address of Mr. Bailey, elec tors in the southern part, who are unshackled, determined to record their honest conviction and unsullied votes, and polled. In the northern part ne _polling for the Earl took place. The poll will close this (Wednesday) afternoon. It is much to be feared that Mr. Bailey's indiscreet act has done injury to the Liberal cause; though no one doubts his sin cerity and anxious desire to have served a good cause, that of assisting to extinguish the corn -laws, and also to have somewhat healed the wounds of a persecuted nobleman, who is a bright ornament to his country. By arrangement between Mr. Bailey and the agents of Lord H. Bentinck, on Monday, Mr. B. issued the foregoing address, with the un derstanding that his Lordship should pay the whole ex pense of the poll heaths. ThrthiS' arrangement, of *course, Lord henry saved much in bringing up the whole of his voters. Upon the whole it has been a curious jingle. But come a fair coitest when it may, the house of Welbeck will find that the attempt to upheld monopoly and the exaction of considerably increased tithes will tell. When the deputa tion waited upon Lord Lincoln last Saturday night (of which the public are already aware), they were modest enough to put into writing kis entire disavowal of having been at all cognizant of his nomination. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE AND THE EARL OF LINCOLN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—l should be sorry to enter into the private misunder standings of a family in the columns of a newspaper, but when they are of a public nature and materially concern the public, then it is another matter. Thus so far I have ex plained myself. Now, Sir, I cannot agree with those who are disposed and think it right to throw upon Lord Lincoln the entire fault of the issue bet een his father and himself The Earl is not a minor beneath the roof of his father; why, then, let me ask, is he, in his political opinion (and as a Minister of the Crown, too,) to be subjected to the dictation—much more the control—of the Duke? Where is the person who will be bold enough to assert that the father did not first throw down the gauntlet? And did not the Duke follow up his strong feeling by the publication of his letter" To the Inha bitants of South 'Nottinghamshire," on the 17th ult. ? Let us have the matter in a correct light, and not endeavour to prejudice the son for the purpose of " protection " to the father.—Yours, obediently, TRUTH. Nottinghamshire, March 3, 1846. PRICE 51).

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Thomas Fowler, aged 46, was charged with the man slaughter of Joseph Barnett, at Abingdon, on the 22d of January last. appeared for the prosecution, and the defence was conducted by Mr. Carrington and Mr. Tyrrwhitt. This ease, which has, it is understood, excited very great interest in this county, came on for trial to-day. The pri soner, who surrendered in discharge of his bail, is a man of very respectable appearance. He is a maltster, in large business at Abingdon, and had borne, up to the unfortunate occurrence which led to the present inquiry, an excellent character, and was considered to possess a kind, good, and humane temper. The deceased (Barnett) was once in the prisoner's employment, but had been discharged. The counting-house of the prisoner is situated on a broad pave ment on the banks of the Thames, at Abingdon, and is closed with two folding doors, one o f w hi c h f o ld s back again upon itself against the wall. On the morning of the 22d of Jan uary last, a man named Middleton noticed deceased, with whom he was unacquainted, walking up and down the wharf opposite the prisoner's house, when the latter came our, and as the witness stated, the two spoke together, from what he saw, for he could not hear what passed. The deceased seemed to be conducting himself towards Mr. Fowler in a provoking manner. Mr. Fowler then returned into the house, 'and shut the door, when the deceased went up to the door, and shoved against it with his shoulder. The door then opened, but it was not possible to say whether from the force exerted against it outside, or from Fowler's having opened it from within. The two met again, and the witness stated that the deceased held up his hands in a sort of threat ening attitude, being at the time quite near enough to have hit the prisoner, but the witness did not see any blow given, until he saw the prisoner seize up an iron shovel and strike the deceased with it on the right side of the head. This blow made the deceased fall, and on being taken home, after a little delay, he expired in about an hour. At this stage of the proceedings the Learned JUDGE inti mated that the case bore much the aspect of being merely one of self-defence. The deceased might have struck the prisoner, whose humane character should be considered, and he, to keep the deceased off, struck the blow which deprived him of life, and which no man probably more deeply deplored than the prisoner himself. The Learned Counsel for the prosecution acquiesced in h?s Lordship's view of the case. The jury immediately acquitted the prisoner —a verdict received with applause, which was in stantly suppressed. THE COURTS AT RRADING.—At the conclusion of the above case the grand jury entered the Court, and having handed in some bills, the Chairman then stated that the grand jury were desirous of making a presentment to his Lordship, which Mr. Bellamy,the clerk of the arraigns, read. It alleged the extreme inconvenience of the present courts held both at the assizes and the sessions in Guy's-hall, Reading ; and described them as insufficient and incommo dious to judges, juries, counsel, and witnesses. The grand jury then proceeded strongly to recommend that new courts should be erected. Most sincerely da we hope this will have its due effect, as the Courts here are uncomfortable and in convenient on this circuit. Benjamin Chapman, aged 28, was charged with having, .on the 29th of December last, set fire :o and destroyed an outhouse and other buildings, the property of a man and hie two sons, named Partridge, at Wantage. . Mr. Tyrrwhitt and Mr. J. J. Williams appeared for 'the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Car rington. . The prisoner, who was nicknamed the Sea Ape, it would seem was, on the night in question, at a public-house called 1 the Shoulder of Mutton, kept by a Mr. Airey. At nine, however, he quitted it. At eleven the same night, the land lady heard a noise of kicking and a cry of fire at the door, which she opened, and saw the prisoner running off knock ing at the neighbours' doors, and crying fire. She called out to him, " Ape, you are the first who gave me the alarm of fire last time, and so you are now." He made no reply, but continued running. She heard her husband come out and ask where the fire was, when the prisoner said, " Back of Partridge's house." At two the next morning she again saw him, and made an observation about the alarm to him. The same evening Mr. Airey heard the alarm and went to the door, and also saw the prisoner running along and crying fire, and on asking him where, was told in Partridge's yard. He ran up there, and saw a little fire which ho thought he could have put out with a pail of water. The fire could certainly not have been seen from the street. The flames soon became stronger. In about five minutes after he had returned home he heard the church bells ringing. Joseph Partridge was alarmed by cries of fire. He looked out of the window and saw the fire arising from the shed, where they kept several stacks of wook. He im mediately got up, ran to the spot, and found a great lire. There was nothing to keep any one out of the yard, as there was a road from which a path ran on one side of his garden. 1 man named Lawrence went up at the same time as Airey, and saw the fire about the size of a bushel. A Mr. Belsher, seeing the fire, went to the parish clerk to alarm him; he was looking out of the window, and then left. In a few mi nutes more, perhaps eight, he heard the bells ring. All this was after the alarm had been given at the Shoulder of Mutton. The prisoner was taken up, when lie made a voluntary state ment. He said he was at home in bed with his brother on the night in question, and was alarmed by church bells ring ing. He got up and saw fire. His brother went down first. He then went and alarmed various people. Told no one where the fire was. Went to the fire and assisted. His brother was alleged to be idiotic ; vat the magistrates had, after questioning him respecting his understanding the nature of an oath, allowed him to be sworn and to give evi dence. He was not present this day, and his absence was commented upon by the Learned Judge. Cox, who lived next door to the prisoner, was alarmed by the bells, and went down, and saw Richard Chapman. He went to the fire and saw the prisoner there. The prisoner had said in the wit ness's presence, at the magistrates' office, that he had met him that night. There Was some evidence given to contradict the prisoner's statement, which was clearly at variance with what several witnesses had sworn. Mr. CARRINGTON addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, contending that no motive was shown to have existed against the party whose property is burned. Mr. Baron Pr.arr summed up; and the jury, after about one minute's deliberation, returned a verdict--acquitting the prisoner. NAVAL UNIFORK.-PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY, MARCH 3. —The reported alteration in the officers' uniform is stated, b) a member of the Board of Admiralty, to be settled, and will be pro mulgated to the fleet in a few days.

SIR RICHARD ITENEGAN'S "SEVEN YEARS' CAM PAIGNING IN THE PENINSULA AND THE NETHEELANDS."—This is One of the best, by which we mean the most interesting, descriptive actuate of the wild adventures and alternate scenes of active'en joyment and severe suffering, which necessarily make up the mingled web of the soldiers life en service. It is written in the best form for a narrative of this kind—that of a personal journal or diary, In which the author himself is the spectator and reporter of all that he relates. He accompanies the Duke of Wellington, and the chiefs of the divisions through the scenes of tile peninsula campaigns ; he Is with the army in many hard-fought battles; and by the peculiar nature of his service, that of Ordnance Commissary, has frequently to walk over the field of battle after the victory is won, and to super intend the removal of the dead or wounded officers to the nearest town or fixed quarters. Some of the most interesting parts of his journal are his passing sketches of the early life and character of some of these officers, his former comrades, whom he found dead or dying on the fatal field. These sketches are written in the off-hand wanner of a soldier, and are full of life and freshness.— Afessever.

TUSEVKVING. TIMES.—The news from Am er i ca, published thi n s AY morning, took the City completely by surprise, and produced a fall of almost 1 per cent. lu.Consols, from which they but slightly recovered at all in the course of the day. The closing price of ye , terday for the Account was 961; to 97, and the concluding price of to-day 96% to %, but they were done at 9b MB. With the exception of this very marked effect, it has been unusually difficult to collect in detail any opinions respecting this news. People here are mostly disposed to regard the wto'e as a continuation of that thee of bravado which the House of Representa tives, under the auspices of the President, Mr. Polk, has hitherto maintained ; sad to hope, therefore, that the same feeling will not be exhibited in the Senate. But the most anxious question discussed here to-day has turned upon what course is likely to be taken by our Government, should the notice to abandon the Oregon territory be actually given —that is, whether such notice would be followed by an immediate hostile manifestation, or whether that would be reserved till the twelve months had expired. From observations that have dropped from Sir Robert Peel it is errormusly inferred, that, in how ever courteous a manner this notice might be conveyed, it would be Immediately resented ; and therefore the feeling which the news has produced was, on the whole, a very uneasy one. The premium on gold at Paris is 12 34 per ratite, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 1034 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 93 46 ; and the exchange at Paris en London at short being 25 65, it follows that gold is 0.74 per cent. dearer in Loudon than in Paris. By advlces from Ilamburgh the price of gold is 434% per mart, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 1934 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9%; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 1134, it follows that geld la 0.60 per cent. dearer ha London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 10134 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being • 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 1.08 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. DOVER, MARCH 3.—Yesterday evening a great ban quet was given at Ostend by the Belgian Minister of Foreign Afters, at the Town-hall, in honour of the inauguration of their post-effice packet service between Ostend and Dover. Visitations were kindly sent to the Mayor and Aldermen of Dover, thla Belgian Consul, toile collector of customs and others, also to the directors of the South-East- ern Railway Company. His to be regretted, however, that from un avoidable circumstances none of the members of the corporation were enabled to attend ; and absence from Dover on official business pre vented the collector of the customs from attending the summons. The Belgian Consul, with some few others, among whom was Mr. Waghorn, crossed the water yesterday, and had the honour of being present at a most sumptuous and hospitable entertainment. The Town-hall was handsomely decorated, and the spacious and elegant suite of apartments which it contains brilliantly lighted up. About sixty sat down to dinner at half-past six o'clock, at which the Baron Serclaas, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, presided. The company comprised the heads of the several public departments, in the town, naval and military officers, the Mayor of Ostend, and tended in an adjoining apartment during h t e he e cl a t: t ine o , i. ma irekieew civil authorities; and the band of the Ist reginientraplathyhie playing sons m at : : excellent pieces of music.

It appears Nom what can be ascertained, that the train which left Exeter at a quarter to o ' cloc k p.m. :net with an accident at Bridgewater, In consequence one of the engine (the Fire Fly) having burst one of the tubes of her boiler. by which the train was detained for two hours and a quarter, wait ing for a luggage engine Nom Taunton to convey it to Bristol.

He immediately hastened to the spot, and on coming up to it discovered it to be a female, standing between the rails on the down side of the line. For some time she refitsed to answer any questions as to how she became in so dangerous a situation, and appeared to be in a very desponding state of mind. .Eventually, however, on her way to Folkstone s she stated that she h a d gone i nto t h e tunnel to be killed by the train. It has since been ascertained that she is of weak intellect, and had escaped from some private lunatic asylum in the vicinity of Folkstene. It was a fortunate circumstance that the policeman discovered her at the time he did, as the up train from Dover shortly afterwards passed, and from the position she was found In, had she remained, she would have been cut to pieces. It is sup.posed that she mu s t h ave got access to the tunnel by climbing up, the sea wall Nom the beach. Her friends are said to live at Dovez. We are authorised to state that a vote of censure has been passed by the Council of the College of Surgeons upon lee Law rence for the intemperate expressions made use of by him in his late Hunterian oration.—Times. • Silt ROBERT SALE.—The death of Sir Robert Sale, head Colonel of the 18th (Prince Albert's) 'Light infantry, h"ca tl gloom on the whole regim en t, h e h av i ng b een much respec ted e beloved by all of this brave regiment ato had the honour of serving - e ntal orders:— under him.
