A special and confidential Report on this important property has been received from Charles Langley, Esq„ of Sydney, one of the Surveyors employed by the Colonial Goveroment, the discoverer of this great auriferous deposit, which furnishes the most unquestion able evidence of the whole property being surpassingly rich in Gold.

" Sir,—ln Rcottainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GuUT and RIILUKATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had Previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Str John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by th. se who knew some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those p aroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I ost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was iu perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GABRE P FOSTER GILL.

The long-expected Opening of Parliament has passed over. Our beloved Queen has been again greeted w;th enthusiastic remon strations of loyalty and patriotism ; these events illustrate the union of the people —are prognostics o' future happiness and prosperity in the Empire. E. MOSES and SON are not influenced by party poli tics, but they are ardent in pursuit of the prosperity of the people, the comfort and happiness of the members of the nation ; to advance this they have cheerfully made the most magnificent investment of capital, and engaged the most distinguished artists to devise the most fashionable and elegant designs for the accommodation of her Majesty's subjects ; these designs they have the pleasure of present ng daily at their Establishments Aldgate and Minorles, New Oxford street and Hart-street. Never did the opening of Parliament call forth stronger manifesta tions of patriotic attachment to the Queen ; never did the thousands assembled to greet their Sovereign look more cheerful and happy. Dress was the order of the day, and the efforts of E. MOSES and SON were made visible on the multitudes who welcomed the Queen as their rightful rty er. It affords E. MOSES and SON the most complete satisfaction when they see the multitude clothed respect ably and comfortable at a cheap rate : then they have that perect remuneration for which they have many years laboured. The Session of 1852 is opened ; now commences the great bustle of business, and a magnificent display of British power and taste. For this E. MOSES and SON are prepared. The capabilities of their establishments are unlimited, possessing facilities for any amount of business or any command, however splendid and fashion able. ,he artists in their employ are continually devising from the most celebrated models of grace and elegance, and have the plea sure of performing the duties of their profession in compliance with the distinguished and liberal commands of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the City and elsewhere. All changes brought about by Parliamentary reduction are directly made use of by E. MOSES and SON, in the way enterpris ing tradesmen should whose object is to legislate daily for the ad vancement and comfort of the people, the session of their indus trious exertions never closes, their Establishments are ceaselessly sending out new and comfortable clothing, and their motto is, reduc tion of the expenditure of the people, by presenting at little more than half the usual charge, the best qualities of Clothing, Hats and Caps, Hosiery of every kind, Furs, the beautiful skins of animals from the vast forests of the world, Boots and Shoes, and General Outfitting to all quarters of the globe.

"All is not gold that glitters," is a phrase Well worthy of remembrance now-a-days. At whatsoever Mart you might apply, You'd find the garments lauded to the sky.

SPIRIT of the PUB LIC JO URNALS. TIMES.—Lord John Russell's Reform Bill is about as great a plurality as was ever comprehended in one title. John n n 1 the io d eve of For the multiplicity and variety class with the Miscella neous Estimates, or with that vulgar departu o r f e. its Ceu ld contents we it suppose mightppe ae description of bill whi c h m i ne host of the Red Lion presents thatte his L guests Lord o f a note-b oo k o f a ll the bits of Par liamentary reform talk e d about for these twenty years, selecting those of the most harm less and plausible character, it might very easily, have formed the letter of instructions to the framers of this Bill. I t is hard to say what it does not contain, excepting a principle. The principles of the old ßeform Bill were promi nent enough; enfranchisement and upon it with disfranchisement were w r itt en which made every man in these isles either a warm friend or a still warmer foe. So blindly and unflinchingly did the Bill go at the extinction of abuses and the creation of a sound and popular f renc h' * 'se, that it was only when it had been some time before the House, and all parties were irretrievably committed, that •it was discovered to be an enormous transference of power from the . south to the north, from the agricultural to the manufacturing districts. It was the last victory of the Anglo-Saxons, as they are called, over the Normans, of th e burg h over the the populations over the strongholds V henthis was urged as an objection, the answer was, " Whatof duty to reform the Parliamentary, system, and we are pre pared to stand all the consequ ences. " The, p 'ne n ip le ' if any, exis of the present Bill is, not to di sturb the - n tebalance between the south and the north , the l and the the Land Lord and the Cotton Lord. p ough loom, The problem proposed by the Minister to himself has been to extend the franchise as much as possible without affecting the existin adjustment of interests and classes. Lord Joh n R ussell, as if he had no wish to perform twice the office of Parliamentary execu tioner, most carefully guards his ill f t none the imputation of being a penal measure. To set a the great task with calmness, he has drunk of the waters- of Lethe, and effaced from his recollection the thousand - and one scan dals of the last twenty years. Possibly he would not admit what has lately been proved on the highest possible evidence, that since the Reform Bill there has been far more corruption than before. Of the sixty-seven bo roughs to be enlarged there is probably not one which is not a notorious example of the influences which it was the pro fessed object of the first Reform Bill to destroy. There is not one which is not'either purchasable, or under the con trol of some neighbouring proprietor; - and, as was admirably shown some time since in this , paper by an ex-M.P., the amount of real corruption, of oppression, and moral degrada tion, is generally far greater in the latter case than in the former. The measure of corruption, however, in these small boroughs is not yet full. They are to hays accom plices in the shape of satellite towns, with perhaps the infu sion of new aristocratical influence, new families to contend for the representation with the old indigenous borough monger. Disfranchisement Lord J o h n leaves to others. If from this time forward, and with this rod held up in terrorem, any borough should, on inquiry, be found to be utterly corrupt, then Parliament is advised by a special Act in each case to transfer its franchise to some populous borough. By way of example, in the present Bill he gives the two seats of the long-dormant Sudbury to Birkenhead and Burnley, and me ditates some such appropriation of the two seats for St. Al ban's, when it is disfranchised. We are inclined to think that England expected more of Lord John Russell than that he should merely give two examples of what ought to be done. With this wain.ng, it will be very hard if the most corrupt borough doss not manage its corruption with such secrecy and address as to elude a Parliamentary inquisition. All parties in it, however otherwise divided, will combine to se cure their house from intrusion, just as the husband and wife, whose quarrels are the scandal of the village, always com bine against the constable. But the worst corruption will wholly i scape this process by separate trial. The borough described by our correspondent the ex-M.P., in which the whole frame of society was perverted into one engine of corruption, will never be one of the vulgar de linquents in the hands of the Parliamentary po lice. Such is the Reform Bill which Lord John Russell assures us is the result, not of a hasty pledge or a sudden emergency, but of many years' quiet observation. To us it bears undeniable marks of pressure from without in the specious and illusory character of its boons. We are aware that some respectable authorities value more any general extension of the franchise, however illusory, than special disfranchisements and enfranchisements, and they will pro bably nottconcur with us in our opinion of the Bill. But these authorities do not come to the question quite in the same spirit that we do. They wish the question of Parlia mentary reform to be kept always open. They would rather have a vague, inconsistent, unsatisfactory measure, leaving as much as possible undone, than one which bore some appear ance of finality, or which premised a truce for some 20 years. So long as the notorious and incorrigible boroughs are spared they may possibly keep the question continually raw and unsettled ; and, instead of a war for the sake of peace, such as the last Reform Bill was meant to be, and actually proved to be, we shall probably now have a weak compro mise, followed by fresh and increasing demands for Parlia mentary reform. DAILY NEWS. - Lord John Russell last night explained to Parliament and to the country his plans for representa tive reform. At the very outset of his speech he put one point beyond doubt. All he had to propose was to be in the spirit of plans enunciated in the legislature at various bygone times. He was no innovator; he sought to make no novel or eccentric changes; he was content to discuss Parliamen tary reform as Parliamentary reform had often been discussed before, and was now ready —not to concede a single measure that should enfranchise the great mass of the people upon any one of the broadly popular plans proposed by the representatives of large democratic constituencies—but rather to step with a cautious and • I • precedent- oving pru dence in the toot-prints of those who had gone before on "similar ends intent." He would indeed follow on the trail he had made him se lf i n 18 ' ' ' 32 His great anchor was the Reform Bill of th a t year-- ' a measure on which he and his colleagues at that time must stake all hope of being re membered as statesm en use f ul in their the limits placed by that measure, he was willing to some ex tent to advance; but his faith must be s trict line of the constitutional ch arges then ita inugurated the inaugurated. He would re lax, and even improve, but not change. The Act of 1832 fixed the relative conditions of • city and rural representation —a state of things not now materially to be disturbed. given The increased intelligen ce that hasadvance to com mercial towns would b e counted fo rapid eslow. slow-coach con pace of the country w as t o b e r . nothing; th considered equally worthy of being in at the goal. No re - adjustment of relative repre sentation could b® th ought of. The e old plan was still to be the plan, from which there was to time a mere promise of chan ge . How be f r om time far this bold adhesion to an cient theories may b e acceptable to the country remains to be seen. . . The Radical Members who . • • spok e in the House of Commons last night saw the difficulties 0 had to take. The Bill offered them f the position they step in advance. ' soy do not by the Minister is clearlya and on one point it is enanife' i find in it all they wish for, ballot,—a deficiency on whicht Y deficient. It ignores the they will, of course, have much hereafter to say. But going as it does in the clear di rection of improvement, the weight of condemnation which unable to launch at it that h must have greeted any less satisfactory proposition. They stood by their colours, and asked all it was their duty to ask. But the tone of the House was tolerably manifest, an d it * was that, judging by its first appearance, Lord J. Russell's Bill promises to become To the advocates of religious freedom he offers a modification of the oaths ; to the ultras he ' of the Charter"—the property effect, concedes one "point gists he lowers the qualitic.,3ir qualification ; for the suffra landed interest he tenders -*°la of voters in towns; to the votes to a lower range of tenants than the old Chandos-clause i ert ; to the boroughmongers he suggests an extension without in the quality of the small much chance of a real change advocate constituencies;for direct whilst to the po litico-economicdirect taxation the bait is held out of a vote for each artisan who contributes 40s. a year di rectly to the state. It is a Hae • le • of morsels, not mass cm ,measure of details, not one of prin ,e3-...a, • , tirety. Yet, although thi s ne instalment, and not an en and inflaential subjects it w Reform Bill may blink broad sents many popular features ought to have included, it pre sectional demands, and little 's and many clever adaptations to or indignation roused if it idtillinrPrise will probably be excited and improved shape—the law ately becomes—in a modified of the land.

And dependent voters are stillniNerting subjected to the same risks for a conscientious exercise Of be franchise. The Ministerial measure is now fairly before the country. What the country's verdict will be is a point t o which, we presume, there will not be . teeo opi n i ons. It will be received with universal disappointment. What exigencies of the times require, is a man of • • . the position in the of the house, and enjoying the confidence the sentiments who will boldly come forward and representoe man sentirnents and wishes of the people. There is eyend one alone, to . 11 its whom the country is now directi g as the a c om i ng man." That man is Lord Palmerston. All that is required on the part of the Noble Lord, to ninsure such popular de monstrations in his fovour as will re he de e r b hi —in one of the most influential men of his age, i s, that ould come out fear lessly and explicitly in this important crisis. CHRONICLE.—The sketch which the Premier gave last night of his projected Reform Bill fully bears out the op' • Pea le opinions we have always expressed of him. p had been led to expect some semblance, at least, of novelty. Instead of that, there was the old Reform Bill of 1832 staring us i n the f It was a li t tl e mo dernised, perhaps , with a few shene see. eteeth added, and one rotton one extracted- but there was. no mis taking our venerable friend. If Lord John Russell can suc ceed in passing off such a Bill on the country as a g reat and original measure, he will be even a g reate r conjuror th an we imagined. As for the general scope of his Bill, we shall only say at present that it strikes us as a NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW STEAM-YARD AT KEYHAM. - The works at this establishment have been resumed with considerable vigour. The smithery and other surface buildings are now being proceeded with, and there is little doubt but the yard will be put into effective operation in the course of the present year. The plan of connecting this establishment with the dockyard by a tunnel, it appears, has not yet been aban doned, as in the erection of the guard and police-stations at the entrance provision has been made of the northern en trance. It is suggested that, by the means of this com munication, the erection of separate storehouses . for the steam-yard may be rendered unnecessary ; but itis ex tremely doubtful whether the cost of the proposed tenement may not exceed even the cost of the erection of the neces sary buildings for separate stores, to say nothing of the loss of time in communication and conveyance. The question also arises as to the necessity for this subterranean passage where the facilit y o f water carriage is so complete ; and further, after the enormous expense of cutting and building the tunnel, it is not possible should the steam-yard, from war or other causes, come into full operation, it will not after all be found necessary to erect new storehouses in the old or new establishment, in either the one or the other almost equally costly. Sans Pareil, 82, steam screw-ship, was taken alongside the sheer-bulk at Devonport, on Friday, and, having got her funnel fixed and her yards across the gunnels, was on Satur day again brought alongside the jetty to have her fittings completed. An order has been issued to supply all first-rate ships with three watering-engines; other ships of the line, with fourth and fifth-rates, with two each, instead of one, as formerly. Wood paving is to be substituted for stone under the sheds of the building -slips of the dockyards. Orders have been received to make the sea-going stores of the advanced ships complete. Tortoise, lighter, arrived at De vonport from Falmouth on Friday, whither she conveyed the- furniture of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, recently returned front service on the south-east coast of Africa. PvitrSZIOUTII, MONDAY.—The wind changed to-day to N.W., which would admit of the Britannia's sailing, but she remains at anchor at Spithead. Ships of war commissioned in future will have the follow ing reductions made in the comple, clients of Royal Marines: First-rates will have 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 38 privates less than the complements of suet ships at present in com mission; second-rates, 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 33 pri vates less; third-rates, 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 28 privates less; fourth-rates, 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 23 privates less; fifth-rates, 10 privates less;; and sixth-rates, 6 pri vates less. Brevet-Major Thomas Lewis Lsurence, of the Royal Ma rine Artillery, who retired from. the corps on the 30th of April, 1834, died a few days sin co in Wales. This retire ment, being under an Order in Council, will not create a vacancy in the serving corps. THE IMPORTANT ♦DMIRALTY TR a-ALS OF SHIPS' ANCHORS. The committee of naval officers and shipowners elected to test the relative properties and, merits of ships' anchors, having at a preliminary meeting h, !Id at Sheerness come to the following resolutions, the same are made known for the in formation of parties who may be desirous of having anchors tested :- 1. That the trials be open to ancdiors of all nations. 2. That the weight of the anchors for these trials be 25 cwt., including the stock. 3. That every anchor previous . to being allowed to enter into competition must be tested at Woolwich. 4. That the anchors.be landed apt: Woolwich for testing by the Ist of May next, at Sheernws by the Ist of June, and the trials to commence on the Ist of July next. 5. That the committee will not.: bold themselves respon sible fur any loss or damage that may be sustained by the anchors, nor be liable for any exr poi:lse in bringing them to or taking them from Sheerness. The trials will take place at She lerness. Admiralty, Feb. 2, 1852. J. PARKER. ALARMING 111 GB TIDE. Yesterday afternoon the inhabil tints on either side of the River Thames were thrown into a; state of the utmost con sternation in consequence of the tilde, which rose to such an unusual and alarming height that their dwellings were flooded, in many instances to the sxtent of several feet, not only forcing its entrance into cellars, but into shops and parlours, compelling the occupants to make their escape from the upper windows and by taking off their shoes and stockings. THE LONDON DOCKS.—Severar of the officers and others were kept in readiness at the Loudon Docks in case of the tide rising to any unusual extent. this morning. No da mage was done last night, as the most extensive prepara tions were made against the high tides. Many of the inha bitants on both sides of the rivttr made arrangements to meet the tide this morning, which • wets expected to flow at five o'clock. LAMBETH. —Great consternation was occasioned among the persons living at the immedia to side of the river, more especially on the upper side of N,,ambeth Palace, where a great amount of property was dara aged or destroyed by the tide. In Lower Fore-street, Princes-street, Lambeth Butts, High-street, and many other parts, the water entered the dwellings of the poor, by which their bedding and other things were injured and render. id useless. The Bishop's walk was under water, and the foot passengers were blocked out for a considerable time. At the steam-boat pier some difficulty arose in landing the pas s.sngers. The usual places at Vauxhall, Nine-Elms, and Battersea were inundated, but to what exti nit it is not yet known. Many of the steam-boat landin g-places were under water for nearly an hour, particularly on the Middlesex shore, where the money and cheque-tal , grs were stationed. Upon making inquiry last nig' it, at eight o'clock, of the officers on duty at the principal T Names Police-station, High street, Wa:ping, the reporter wt is informed that no loss of life or accident had taken place , on the river or along the water-side to their knowledge. THE STRIKE.—ICE-OPENING OF THE SHOPS. According to previous annoy mcement, the members of the Association of Employers of Operative Engineers yesterday re-operied their shops, which h ad. been closed in consequence of the dispute with the Amalgamated Society, since the 10th ult. . At Maudslay and Field's establishment, we are in formed, that three engineers. ( fitters), and a few boiler makers, making a total of about eight, signed the declara tion as skilled workmen; while seven foremen and eight ap prentices quitted work rather than sign the declaration prof fered by the employers. At Simpson's, Belgrave• road, Pimlico, five foremen an ei fear apprentices gave a week's notice of leaving upon the same grounds, no skilled workmen being known to have gone in. At :mg,oaret ttitranC3eentmraelnCboemloinngititnege Rennie's, Holland-street, Black friars, three foremen gave a similar notice, as did also, it is ;stated, several foremen and apprentices at Miller and Mavenhill's, Glasshouse-fields, that they where eight skilled workmen, 1 xowever, went in and signed, two of whom are said to be m embers of the Amalgamated Society. At Grissell's, City-xosd, 20 men went in as " moulders." The number of skilled men who went in at other shops is said to be of no i importance, and the members of the Amalgamated Society express full confidence continued failure of the step thus taken by the in the employers. 0 f It Unskilledw a s Labourers,yesterday thatev ennoi to that unfortunate class had. received employment. labourers flecked early to sign the declaration, but having The done so were told that there w a:; no work yet, and would be sent for when want( id, an announcement whiche'' caused a considerable amount o f disappointment.

It is' really difficult, after witnessing such a masterpiece, histrionic and managerial, to avoid the use of terms which might appear extravagantly eulogistic, however just ; suffice it to say, that the fruits of evident enormous pairs and outlay have been—perfection and commensurate . success. As regards the mise en scene we have never seen it equalled. The kingly chivalry of France and England ' six centuries ago lives and moves before our eyes in vivid reality, a resurrection of the contemporaries of the Great Charter. Where such authorities have been scrupulously consulted for the selec tion of the costumes, arms, banners, and decorations, as Mey rick's " Ancient Armour," C. H. Slnith's " Ancient Costume of Great Britain," Planche's " Costume of King John," Strutt'e " Dresses and Habits of the People of England," Fairholt's "Costume in' England," Fosbroke's " Encyclo ;media of Antiquities," Dngdale's " Monasticon Anglicanuni," eu s t e m s et, and Decorations," Stothard's " Monu tmluheeninewttsal'anBCEdiffili'‘iDgCleiorSese:( Pligineli " Glossary of Ecclesiastical Orna mthiraeirelleraldioffice, Lecomt F e r 's an ; a Ce ise,. s; Franeaise," Willemin's ;de a Monarchic Montfancon's "Monarchic ~ me r n a n n ni ca e i n se a ," F H ran erbe .

But it is not merely as an w extraordinaryith spectacle that King John was received ' such unbounded and most merited enthusiasm ; the 1 3, t , h t a e t no f d a un m i o nd u e a rt tha k s: eenteh ghastlywe i r th m H ao wv u af b ul e l no r t f e , s s, w ‘ t h ho e ef r e he _e throughout.

There was exquisite beauty in the Constance of Mrs. Bean. Grief, rage, pathos, thrillingly depicted, with not a vestige of the viragoisni displayld by ordinary personators of the character. In the final gony of heart-broken despair, W m Kean was so - 0-., surplesin"treat, that the house literally shook with the outburst of' arklause evoked by such a rare effort of genius.. •Filconbridge was pourtrayed by Mr. Alfred Wigan in a Manner most• creditable to that clever actor. Considering his usuahaine-oT buitess, it could not be ex pected that he could make the part what we remember it in the hands of Charles Kemble cr James Wallac,k ; but he played it with admirable spirit and appropriate humour. As a good sound actor, Mr. Ryder has long held a favourable position, but his • Hubert last night was a gem. In the af fecting scene with Arthur in the prison, and the subsequent passion of grief over the dead body of the young prince, he took the audience by storm. Miss Kate Terry, as Prince Arthur, exhibited much cleverness and excellent training. All the subordinate parts were most satisfactorily filled; Queen Eleanor by Miss Phillips, Blanche by Miss Murray, Prince Henry by Miss Robertson, the French King by sir. ' Fisher, the Duke of Austria by Mr. Cooke, the Cardieal by Mr. Graham, not forgetting Mr. Addison as the Governor of Angiers, and Mr. Cathcart as the Yiscomte de Melun. At the conclusion of the performance Mr. and Mrs. Kean were vehemently_ called for, and saluted with fervent accla mations. Mr. Wigan had to appear, and was most warmly greeted. Mr. Ryder then came in for a similar mark of approval most deservedly bestowed; and finally Miss Kate Terry was promoted by the audience to a place in• this honourable ovation, Mr. Kean himself leading the clever little girl before the curtain. Of the long and sustained success of such a tremendous hit as the production of last evening there cannot be a shadow of doubt. There is not a metropolitan inhabitant or visitor of the smallest taste but ought to take an opportunity of visiting this theatre on some one at least of the King John nights. So superb a treat has never before been offered to the playgoer. The grandees of Spain had demanded that the holy Sacrament should rensain exposed in the church of Our Lady of A.tocha, until the entire recovery of the QUEEN, in order that all the inhabitants of Madrid might repair to that church to implore GOD in favour of the precious health of their SOVEREIGN. The Marquis of Vim:ma, President of the Senate, handed to the President of the Council a respectful ad dreas of that body to the QUEEN. The assassin MARTIN MERINO was executed by garote vil — stre.ngulation—on Saturday, at one o'clock, outside the gate of Toledo, the usual place of ext cution in Madrid, and, it is more than probable, in the presence of an immense multitude, not one of whom could have felt sympathy or compassion for his fate. He had been previously degraded from the priesthood—as a felon knight has his spurs struck from his heels before he handed over to the headsman. ROYAL MARIONETTE THEATRE. Upon the opening of this theatre, intimations were thrown out by various portions of the press that the puppet stage might serve readily as a place for the production of brochures emanating from the bright wits of the day, but not easily ad missible in other theatres. Already we find the hint adopted, and a new farce produced, styled The United Services, which is called an infinitesimal operatta, in one homoeopathic act, and professes to be written by Hugo Vamp, Esq., the perma nent author to the establishment. In reality this little piece is the production of one of the bright spirits referred to, who, without caring much for plot, has employed the cha racters as mouthpieces for some clever bits at some of the events, social and political, of the day. Mr. Bantam is the name of an elderly gentleman who, like many others of his genus, is considerably troubled by the followers who come after his cook and housemaid, Diipping and Sally; and who for the present assume the forms of an Irish lifeguardsman and policeman, who is the model man of all the force. The piece opens with a kitchen scene, in which Dripping and Sally await the departure of their master for the introduction of their sweethearts. The latter enter, and some very clever dialogue ensues, intro ducing some admirable " points" upon the Whigs, France and the French, national defences, preserved meats, Bloomer ism, &c., &c. In the midst of their merry-making the gover nor returns, the " followers" secrete themselves, are afterwards found out, and after the usual display of bluster, the affair winds up with a double marriage, very much to the satisfac tion of the parties concerned and of the audience, who testi fied their gratification by hearty and unanimous calls for the performers, author, and manager, all of whom appeared and made their bows of acknowledgment before the curtain. ACCIDENT THIS MORNING AT THE BRICK-LANE GAS WORKS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - -• • SIR,—To prevent much apprehension that exists about the accident that occurred here this morning, I beg to state that, soon after nine o'clock, a vessel, connected with the 'puri fiers, suddenly gave way with a 1, ud report, alarmed the neighbourhood, and the gas escaping caught fire, which was shortly extinguished without any serious damage except to the vessel in which the accident happened. One man was injured, and immediately removed to the hospital, butinobody else was hurt; and the operations of the works are not interrupted. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ALFRED lIENRY STILL, Superintendent. Gas Works, Brick-lane, Feb. 10, 1832. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. Gross traffic receipts for passengers and goods, week ending Feb. 7, 1852 ... Ditto, Feb. 8, 1851 GERMAN Y. Advices from Frankfort, dated tho 4th instant, inform us that the Legislative Assembly was occupied on that day with the conlinercial treaties of the Zollverein with Belgium and Holland. It gave its assent to the treaty with Holland, and afterwards to the additional treaty with Belgium. The Chamber of Commerce has like wise pronounced in favour of the latter, although it cot,- eiders the reduction of the duty on Belgian iron disad vantageous to the transit commerce of Frankfort. It is stated that the Grand Duke of Baden, LEOPOLD 1., is dangerouily ill, and that his eldest son, the heir apparent, having been for some time suffering from weakness of the mental faculties, the question of suc cession to the throne, which may suddenly become va cant, is now a matter of consideration. In the present situation, it is a question not without much importance. In Brunswick, the elections having terminated, the Duke has convuked the Diet for the 16th inst. The majority will be decidedly Conservative, and the general tone of the Chamber entirely different from the former one, many of the Deputies being nobles and great landed proprietors, whereas in former Diets the majority was always composed of farmers and agriculturistr. In the present elections the agricultural voters have supported some landed gentleman in their district, instead of elect ing one of their own class. DENMARK. In the sitting of the First Chamber on the 2d inst. Mr. D e p uty H ANSEN made an i nterpellation to the Mi nistry concerning the recent Ministerial changes, and the proclamation by whica they were attended. M. BLIIRME, the new Ministerial President, defended th e Royal authority, an d d emons t ra t e d t h at t h e orga nic modification s that had been introduced were adopted in order to satisfy the views of the great powers; that the documents could not b e commun i cate d unt i l t h e resu l ts which they had in view were realised, and the first of these results was that the Royal authority should be re established in the Stites; that, with regard to the re establishment of the States in Schleswig and Holstein, these institutions had never been abolished by law, and that the .Royal proclamation maintained the administra tive and judicial separation between the two Duchies.

The transfer was granted unanimously, and in announcing that fact the chair man stated that the entire bench concurred with him in the pleasure he felt at finding Cremorne House and Gardens un der the superintendence of so able a director as Mr. Simpson. He himself had vi,ited the gardens during the last season, and was highly gratified at the order and decorum that were observable, for although everybody seemed amused, none could be offended; nor was there anything to which the most fastidious could object. Mr. Simpson had, indeed, se cured a very high character by his excellent management, and fully justified the confidence of the magistrates in grant ing the lisence, which they did with the greater pleasure, as they were sure that in the hands of Mr. Simpson the amusement of the public, poor as well as rich, would be well and properly catered tor. Several of the magistrates on the bench expressed their hearty concurrence with the senti ments which had fallen from the chairman, and took occa sion to congratulate Mr. Simpson upon his great success at Cremorne. _ _ _____ s NEWMARKET, SATUR D A Y .— Ye — terday this town through was greatly excit e d, i n consequence o f the discovery, At the fair held a t Newmarket in Novemb e r, 1850, for life, of the p erpetrat i on o f a mu rder._ e tts was accosted by a Mr. Betts the confession o f a conv i ct un d er sentence of transportation him On his resisting, a m an , i i i h er , came up and s t ruck woman, w ho att e mpted to rob who it transpi res cohabited v. it inquest was held, an d a An life-preserver, from the effe c t s o f him on the temple with a which blow he instantly died.ainst some person unknown" verdict of " Wilful murder t e ag essiausderdetutrhneehda,present time the delinquent has but on Tuesday week a convict justice; a statement to the governor of named Newm ..m made as led to the apprehension of a person the hulks at Woolwicfor d the commission of the crime.
