The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the Widow and Family of the late William Thom, the gifted but unfor tunate Poet of Inverury, beg leave briefly but earnestly to appeal to the Public, more especially to the Public of Scotland, in behalf of the trust which has been confided to them. The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his muse have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form, but in various periodicals. Ins talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges ; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de voted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable 'need of praise to which they eensidered his merits entitled. The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress. AN APPEAL to the ] WIDOW of WILLIAM COMM! Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the riawkhill f Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend his latter days in comparative peace and quiet. Ills wishes were fuhllled, for not many months ago he did return from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his last on Monday, the 23th or February. lle has left a widow and three infant children, the youngest but live months old, totally unprovided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A ComantLee has been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lard Jeffrey, Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others, have spontaneously sent their contributions ; and it is earnestly hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and un obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which the Committee have in view.

Sir,—The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to the public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For some time past he had been in delicate and declining health ; and his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his honourable and sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half past eleven a.m., he departed this life. He has left behind him something more than a name—some true and beautind strains. which, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not willingly suffer, like the inscription on the coffin, to be buried in the tomb. lie has left behind him, alas ! something of yet ten derer and mere mournful interest—a widow and three children, th 7 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out erc this to the charity of the streets. I make no appeal in behalf of the poet himself; " atter life's fitful fever be sleeps well." He has found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. Nor will I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment which ho received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly poetic usage. He was caressed, but not fed ; as if one could sup on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for years : But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of his destitute family. I would implore every lover of literature— every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's lyrics, or from the simple story of his life —to prove their pleasure and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex clamations or tears. I would call especially - upon those who saw him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how far superior to the measurtd cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meeting with and hearing him fur the last time. No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be, dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and others But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death bed, let us follow the start we have accidentally gained by instant, active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless bairns. Messrs. Chalmers, Middleton, and Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations. The smallest sums will be welcomed I am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE GILF LLAN. The last ,ernes of the late William Thom, written shortly before his death:— SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE, Tune—" Miller o' Dee." While we laugh Wad sing, in this happy ring, With a bright and a brotherly glee, May we never forget that the sun bath set On the homes of misery. For oh ! it may be that this chill night wind Sweeps rotind some tireless hearth, • Freezing the heart of the homeless ono, With never a friend on earth. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling. In our bright mid brotherly glee ; Yet never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. . Man was not made for this world alone, The world was lent to man ; 'Tis a debt we owe to heaven, you know, Then pay it as well as you can. Now winter rides mad iu his carriage of snow, With his pelting rain and his hail; May it never be said that hunger and woe Held abiding in bonny Dean Yale.. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly glee, And never forget that the sun miy set On the homes of misery. W. THOM. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. On Saturday evening Signor Labocetta made his first appearance before an English audience as Il Conte Almaviva, in Rossini's Bart iere di Siviglia, and although Signor Labocetta was evidently labour ing under a severe cold, yet he achieved a great suc cess. His voice is a high tenor of the purest quality and sweetest tone in the world ; it is managed with excellent taste and consummate art, and it is full of expression and feeling. The serenade in the first act was deliciously given (we should like much to hear Signor Labocetta sing the serenade in Don payiale ; if we;mistake not he would make that henceforth his own), and the trio " Zitti, Zitti," with- Beletti and Mademoiselle Cruvelli, was cfeservedly rewarded with an encore. After hearing Signor Labocetta, we are not surprised at the high opinion which Meyerbeer entertains of his qualifications. He is a deliciously sweet singer, a most accomplished musician, and (a matter not to be despised) an excellent dresser. His Count's costume in the last scene was superb. It is sufficient to say that Lablache was Bartolo, and it is sufficient to say of the Figaro of Beletti, that it was worthy of the Bartolo of Lablache. Mademoiselle Cruvelli was delightful as Rosins. The character of Basilio was sustained by Bouche, and he made quite a prominent p ar t o f i t. Hi s makingi up was admirable—long, gaun t , h a lf -starve d, thin bearded, and sanctified, he l oo k e d t h e j very " chanter in the choir," mean spirit e d an d ca l u mniating, " the genial confidant and genera l s py" w ham Beaumarchais drew. His a c ti ng was perfectly in keeping with his appearance, a n d his singing was superb. Never have we heard "L a Calumnia" sang so well, never have we seen it acted so well. When he extends his fingers claw.like, as though he were in imagination tearing his victim, he seemed the living incarnation of— "L'Envie aux doigts crochus au feint pale et livide." Never, we repeat, has this character been so brought out as it has been by Bouche. He has done for Basilio what Lablache has done for Bartolo. All the artistes were called for at the conclusion of each act of the opera. ROWLANDS' 'MACASSAR OIL. It may with truth be averred, that ROWLANDS' MACAS SAR OIL has enjoyed an extent of patronage and public favour dur ing the last half century which is totally unexampled in the annals of felicitous discovery. The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amal gamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly re nowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues in nourish ing, preserving, and beautifying the human Hair. It insinuates Its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nouri-hes the Hair in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandruff, accelerates its growth, sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest period of human life. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachois, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operations. For Chil dren it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a Beau tiful of Hair, and rendering the use of the line comb unne cessary. Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the whole of the Royal Family of Great Britain, and of every Court of the civilised world ; and the high esteem in which it Is universally held, together with numerous Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits.

" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to'the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I'=. bottle it tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet parttime iti tar beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coining away with the comb, make it strong, aid prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplicatlons. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet et testimonials.

This is a comic drama in two acts, evidently writ ten to exhibit the peculiar talents of Mrs. Fitzwilliam and Mr. Buckstone, as two rustic lovers. These form two companion -pictures—the fore figures very na turally drawn, the accessories prettily grouped, with a nice bit, in the style of Gainsborough, as a back ground. The costumes are of the time of George 11., and the spirit of the piece is fitted to the period, being a leetle questionable in moral, and rather loose in character. Squire Kimbow (Mr. Selby) is a fast man, addicted to vices and extravagance, which incense a maiden aunt, who is determined to stop the supplies if he refuses to marry and repent. To deceive the old lady he pretends a marriage with Kitty (Mrs. Fitzvvilliam), and confides the plan to Kit Coil (Mr. Buckstone), a rope-maker. Kit is partially promised to Lucy Latchett, but has an in definite sort of liking for Kitty, who entertains a positive passion for Kit Coil. The Squire sends Kitty a letter, desiring her to place herself under the protection of Kit Coil, and await his arrival, which will take place in a day or two, when he will marry her. Kitty, who cannot read, supposes it to be the production of Kit Coil. By degrees. Kit Coil, overcome .by the affectionate nature of Kitty, con fesses his love for her, and in this consists the diffi culty. He dares not betray the secret, his love and his terrors seize upon him by turns, and, to perfect his misery, Lucy Latchett arrives, fancying that everything is prepared for her wedding. The Squire comes to carry off Kitty as his victim to London, but is prevented by the determination of the rustic lovers to resist his intentions. The Squire being threatened with a full disclosure of his vicious designs to his aunt, through the agency of Deputy Daw (Mr. Granby), who has a tendre for Lucy, he consents to the double union. The two principal characters were admirably acted by Mrs. Fitzwilliam and Mr. Buckstone. Dame Partlett, the aunt of Kitty was an exceedingly clever delineation —broad, natural, and full of rich humour. In this description of character Mrs. C. Jones is inimitable. Mr. Selby was capitally dressed, and materially assisted the ensemble. Miss Lee, as Lucy, was earnest, and Mr. Granby, as Deputy Daw, was burly and important. The Scarecrow was entirely successful, and, at the fall of the curtain, Mrs. Fitzwilliam and Mr. Buckstone were called for amidst the applause Lf the house. The drama is written by Mr. I3uckstone. Madame Vestris was prevented acting the character of Theseus, in the new extravaganza, in consequence of the death of her sister, Mrs. Anderson. The part Was performed by Mrs. Lea. MANCHESTER, MAI 1.

WESLEYAN MISSIONARY ' SOCIETY.-- Xesterday the annual meeting of this society, whi c h was organised in 1786, took place in the large room of Exeter Hall, which was, as usual on such occ a si ons, densely crowded , Wesleyan persons belonging to the an d e n o mination having come from all parts of the country t o attend it. Mr. Heald, M.P. for Stockport, presided, and opened the business by referring to the present unsettled state of Europe, con tending that the principal means of stability to giving nations was the education of the p eople on a sound religious basis. From the report w hich was read by the secretary, it appeared that the receipts from all sources for the past year had been 103,6191. Is. 9d., the balance in hand from the last account being 4,9941. 9s. 4d , making a total of 108,6131. 1 ls. ld. The expenditure for the year had been 114,606/. 17s. 6d., including the SLIM of 5941. 45., which had been invested towards the establishment of a mission in China. The expenditure was large, but not larger than the work required. The Cape war occasioned the- loss , of a vast amount of mission property, and 5001. more had been re quired during the year than would otherwise hav e been required. The island of Tobago, in the West Indies, had been desolated by a hurricane, which had swept away a vast amount of the mission property. h . dependently of a falling off in the general income, t h e legacies this year had been 500/. less than during t h e last. The committee had to acknowledge the kindness of Mr. J. Irvine, the shipbuilder, who had undertaken to convey the missionaries to Madras free of cost. During the past year twenty-six mission aries and twent y mie sionaries' wives, had been conv e y ed to various statio ns of the society, and during the same period six mission ar i es had died. The number of mem bers at the society's and stations amounted to 99, 021 ; on p robation, 4,012 ; there were in the schools 74, 580 children.

The delegates met this morning at the usual hour. The business of the assembly was confined to bearing the reports of the various delegates from the different towns, giving a description of the social and political condition of their constituencies, and their determination with respect to the proceedings of the assembly, Several of the delegates haring given in their reports, Mr. M'Grath said they were met for a specific pur pose, and he thought the time of the assembly ought not to be wasted in hearing reports from different parties, which might better be given in the discussion of the various questions set down in the programme of the proceedings. He should, therefore, move that the as sembly should proceed at once to the discussion of the first part in the programme, which was to enable the assembly to proceed with determination in the business of the charter. The proposition met with the most decided opposition, and was eventually withdrawn. The proceedings were then resumed, and the assembly adjourned at the usual hour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

In a race of the nature of the Tradesman's Plate, hardly any running can be taken as a criterion to be guided by; were they to run this race at Newmarket, Epsom, or any other course large enough to start them fairly, side by side, instead of in three or four rows as at Chester, the result every year would be materially different: as it is, the Cup is a lottery on a large scale, anything on the inside of the course, in the front or second rank, being good enough to win it, although on other courses that identical animal may have been dis tanced by others in the race. There is certainly one exception to the above rule, should there be really a racer, such as War Eagle or Conyngharn among the starters, their superiority is almost sure t o te l l upon the field, even if they start in the la s t rank, consequently I fully expect to see one or the other, if not both, placed: — I consider that Patriot and Rattrap have the Irish lot safe, and will be found to be the representatives of that division. Intrepid, with 6st 121 b, and Newcourt 7st 71b, will show the antique division to glory.

The principal subjects were the Greek Testament, Grotius de Yeritate, Mosheim's and Burton's Ecclesiastical History, Paley, and Suroners' (Archbishop of Canterbury) Evidences of Christianity, and various Latin and Greek authors. QUEEN'S COLLEGE, LONDON.—Yesterday this in stitution, established for the promotion of female educa tion, and for granting certificates of qualification to governesses, was opened for the reception of pupils, and the commencement of the lecture classes, which are to be formed. Two lectures were delivered—one on Na tural Philosophy and Astronomy, by the Rev. Mr. O'Bri en, M.A..

There seems to be every probability of the Danish war being vigorously prosecuted, and the greatest interest is felt to ascertain whether Russia and Sweden will assist. To the questions which Mr. Urquhart will this evening put to Lurd Palmerston, upon the subject of both Spanish and Danish affairs, it is probable that there will not he a very positive answer given, although some information may be elicited as ta whether England is bound by treaty to interfere, should Jutland be invaded.

Mr. Mitchell has this day pleaded in abatement that the original proceedings under the bills of indictment had not been set aside and vitiated by the molls prosequi. If this plea succeeds it will have the effect of throwing over judgment until November. Mr. Mitchell's application to appear by attorney has been refused. A tremendous sensation has been created throughout this city in consequence of a proclamatiou from the Lurd•Lieutenant issued this day, prohibitiug the in tended assemblage of the Council of 300, and the enrol ment of a National Guard. (From the Evening Mail, May 1.) LATEST ACTION OF THE GOVERNMENT.—WhiIe we write the Privy Council is sitting, at which it will be determined to proclaim the county of Limerick. Serious disturbances took. place at Limerick on Satur day evening, in consequence of Mr. Mitchell, who has so often libelled the memory of O'Connell, being invited to attend the Young Ireland soirée of the Sarafield Club. The populace (Old Irelanders) attacked the building with volleys of stones. Shots were fired by the 'mem bers of the club, many of whom attended armed, and one man fell pierced with a bullet. The police and military were called out- Mr. Smith O'Brian was seriously it:Outdo and has re• signed his seat for his astir* county. ,•=l. .::3 1 : 1 F R ,-,ASTER HOLIDAYS. • u'r AL POLYTECHNIC Trov w TI TUTION REGENT-STREET, . - with With GREAT ADDITIONS.
