Twenty thousand bold mariners—ocean's best gems— Assembled en mese on the oreast of the Thames. 'Twas astounding to witness the boats and the steamers, The " bonnie blue jackets," the colours and streamers. This aquatic procession would cast in the shade The sights of Queen Bess with her best cavalcade. The scene on the Thames was a scene that must claim A thrill from the heart, he it ever so tame. And linr.dreds of thousands of different ranks, Throng'd Thames's broad bridges and mercantile banks. The spectacle seen was essentially one To bring to the mind Messrs.

The smiling spectator must surely have thought, Of the ou►fits of MOSES, so skilfully , wrought. Ev'ry day at the warehouse of MOSES we view, The sons of the ocean in " jackets of blue," Awl finding how MOSES and SON can equip, They n e'er feel inclined to " forcsake the old ship." The scene on the shore was essentially , one To remind the o . .)server of MOSES and SON, Both ladies and gentlemen show'd in their dress, A beauty to rival the days of Queen Bess; And never did Thames on his waters unfold A sight s') imposing—a movement so hold.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringment, the in e- uious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby treating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a doable revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route msst perfectly. The capabilities of this machine arc best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used In the Government and numc..ous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in e ,ti,:uing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their 'Anise ot• its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Birchin-lane ; at W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where applications for shares may he addressed. RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse quently this is the most important discovery ever made for the pre servation oflife and property either at Sea or on Land. AT SEA numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall suffice : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of saving the ship and 230 souls on hoard, two seams in the bottom being partly left with ant calking." " The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days ont at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London, with a thank God for the Fountain Pump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a tiro brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire. "We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to So eiety."—Editors Liverpool 11 ail. The New Portable. Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on fire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. Morton's dyery, and 12,0e0/. worth of consigned pro perty; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de struction and death. " North Walsham.—At this fire the I'ortable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there Is no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they will do the work, which proved trne. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atme spherei. Now the ftet is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exgees half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last tho victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some men drop at minute time. With a best now heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and roost extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esq., in his popular work, If o. 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mellott, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. iladdley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 456, Book-maker Millington's remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Ilay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustajn ' able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for nign, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps.

" I have new for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Hygeian Dis pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my opinion (from practical experience, not In sue er two cases, but in hundreds), that the Hygeian system is founded in truth. The cases which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment that patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Hygeian medicines. The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my book for the inspection of the public. I have treated upwards of 300 poor patients daring the past year, and I have now about 150 on the Dispensary books.

MARYL E BON E. A very gentlemanly -looking, middle aged man named John Hervey, who, it was stated, had been a banker in Guernsey, but was now living at 32, Surrey street, Strand, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton charged with having stolen a leather case containing a gilt-edged Bible and Prayer-book from the parochial chapel, Kentish-town. Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoner, who was accompanied to the court by a number of highly respectable persons, his friends. Sergeant Sibsey, 16 S, deposed that on Saturday afternoon last, about four o'clock, while on duty at the station-house, his attendance was required at the chapel close by, and on his arrival there he found the prisoner with Mr. Kentish, the verger, who gave him into custody for stealing the property in question. Mr. BROUGHTON —When you took him what did he say? Witness—He said he was very sorry. How he came to possess himself of the article he knew not, and added, that he did not take them out of the chapel; to which Mr. Kentish replied, that he had taken them out, and that when he (Mr. Kentish) fol lowed him and brought him back to the chapel he took the case from his pocket and threw it into one of the pews. The property turned out to belong to Mr. Bulwer, Brecknock-terrace, Camden-town. Witness conveyed the prisoner to the station-house, when he said he had been looking at some tombstones, and that upon one of them was an epitaph upon •i woman who had died in childbirth ; the words were applicable to his case, as he Lad lost a beloved partner under similar circumstances, and he caught arp the case with the view of referring .to the passage, having done which, he thought he had put it down again in its place. Mr. BROUGHTON—What did the verger say to that ? Witness—He said, " , >TA true, for you took it out of the chapel." Mr. BROUGHTON—Did the verger tell you whether anything further passed or net? Witness—Yes, he told me that when he stopped the prisoner he (the accused) said, " Make no Doke, and I'll return with you ;" and that when they got back to the chapel he threw the case into a pew, but not the one from which he had taken it. Mr. BROUGHTON inquired if either the verger or the owner of the property was present; and he re ceived a reply in the negative Mr. Humphreys submitted to the magistrate whether he thought there was any occasion for him to make any particular remarks, inasmuch as no one connected with the chapel had deemed it advisable to prosecute the case. The prisoner was a person of undoubted respectability, and the party who had given him into custody was no doubt fully satisfied upon inquiry that there was nothing wrong intended, in support of which position he (Mr. Humphreys) alluded to the production of a paper by the sergeant, on the back of which the prisoner had marked in pencil, 2d Kings, chap. xix., v. 3, from which the epitaph previously referred to was copied. Mr. BROUGHTON said it was of great importance that it should be known and felt that justice should at all times be dealt out with an even hand, and that no favour might be shown to any person on account of his moving in a respectable sphere of life. Re spectability was the principal ground on which the learned gentleman, Mr. Humphreys, relied for the prisoner's discharge, but he (Mr. Broughton) felt that he could not, consistently with due regard to the proper performance of his duty, for one moment think of adopting the wished-for-course. The worthy Magistrate, after making some further remarks ex pressive of his surprise and disapprobation with re gard to the extraordinary apathy evinced, and giving his opinion that if a pcor half-starved and ragged creature had committed the act there would have been no reason to complain of the paucity of evidence, re manded the prisoner, on bail, at the same time giving directions that summonses should be issued compel ling the attendance of the verger and the owner of the books. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. Rwhard Passingham, an elderly person, de scribed as the landlord of the Adam and Eve public house, at Huston Old Town, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having assaulted a girl named Elizabeth Sayers, 14 years of age, the daughter of a policeman of the N division, with intent to commit a capital offence. Mr. Hamm 7.L having heard the evidence, which is unfit for publication, said he considered it a proper case for the decision of a jury, and he should there fore order the prisoner to be c.•,mmitted for trial upon the charge of aggravated assault, but would consent to take bsil for his appearance at the sessions, which he should fix at the prisoner himself in 1001. and two responsible sureties in 50/. each. Tne depositions of the witnesses were then partly taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, and the required bail put in for the attendance of the prisoner the next day in order to their being ccmpleted. It will be recollected that the jury who tried Harriet Parker, who was found guilty of the wilful murder of two children in Golden-lane, on the 31st of December last, " strongly recommended her to mercy on accfunt of the great provocation which she received." The judge (Mr. Baron Alderson), how ever, at the time remarked, " that the children gave her no provocation," but that the recommendation which had accompanied the verdict of the jury should lie forwarded to the proper quarter; but he entreated the prisoner not to indulge any hope that it would be of any effect. His Lordship accordingly forwarded a copy of the evidence to Sir George Grey, Bart , M.P., and in answer to an application on the subject the following letter has been received from the Home Secretary : " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th inst., respecting Harriet Parker, who was con victed at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court of murder, and sentenced to death. " Sir George Grey desires me to inform you that ho has received from the judge before whom the pri soner was tried a report of the evidence, together with the recommendation of the jury in her favour ; and I am to express to you his regret that after a careful consideration of the circumstances of the case, he is unable to discover any ground upon which he can, consistently with his sense of public duty, recommend the prisoner to the mercy of the Crown, and that he must, therefore, leave the law to take its course.

" The people whom by the will of Divine Pro vidence we have governed for seventeen years with the love of a father have always understood our affec tion, as we, in like manner, have sought to compre hend their necessities; and it has always been our intention that the Prince and the nation should he united by the closest ties for the common good of the country. " Of this union, now more solid, we have had most consolatory proofs in the sentiments with which our subjects received the recent reforms, which our wish for their felicity had counselled us to effect for the purpose of ameliorating the various branches of Government, and initiating them into the discussion of public affairs.

Richard Douglas, a man of gentlemanlike appear ance, residing at Chelsea, was charged on the police sheet with stealing a quantity of plate, linen, a horse, and dog-cart, the property of Mr. Aaron Smith, of Camden •cotteges, Camden -town. 'I he complainant stated, that about 18 months ago the prisoner introduced himself to him at the Jeru salem Coffee-house, and described himself as a man possessing property at Ash, in Kent. He went on to say that he was rather embarrassed in his circum stances just at that particular time respecting a bill of exchange cf 1501., adding that he wanted an advance to that amount of complainant, and offering to give him a bill of sale of the property in his house at Ash as security for the repaym en t o f th e money . O n th a t occasion the prisoner mentio ne d var i ous c i rc um s tances relating to his being a man in the receipt of consider able property, that he had a s h oot i ng b ox i n th e coun try, and, in fact, his description of his finances was of such a nature as to impress complainant with the belief that he was what he represen t e d hi mse lf t o be, and h© accorlingly undertook to stay the pro ceedings on the bill of exc h ange b y en d ors i ng ano ther bill himself to the same amount, and handing it over to the parties who held the bill of exchange. This was accordingly carried into effect, but when the latterbillbecame due i t was di s h enoure d, an d complainant had to pay the 1501., the prisoner giving him a bill of sal e o n his property at Ash, in which were enumerated the plate, linen, horse, and dog-cart, which he now charged him w i t h s t ea li ng . Subse quently to the bill of sale coming into his hands, complainant went down to Ash, and, on inspecting . th e property at the *prisoner's residence, discovered that the horse and other articles were gone, and also that he was not to be found ; an d a lth oug h h e had been din g lookinghi mUntil the preceding evening, after him, he had not suc ceededand he immediately gave hi m i nto custo d y . The complainant here handed in the bill of sale given to him by the prisoner, and amongst the items were these which he new c h arge d hi m w i t h stea li ng. everin since finding Mr. COTTINGHAM — Then you no w charge him with s tealing the property which he assigned over to you by the bill of sale? Complainant—Precisely so ; the articles I consi dered as my own, although he took them off his own premises. A barrister, who attended for the prisoner, said that he would be enabled to show that this proceed ing against his client was done for the purpose of placing him in the hands of the civil power, and getting him arrested before he left the precincts of the court. The MAGISTRATE said that if he was aware of such being the fact, he would discountenance any act of the kind, for it would be monstrous indeed to allow practices of the kind—to give a man into cus• tody on a charge of felony merely for the purpose of getting him arrested for a debt. The complainant disclaimed anything of the kind, and declared that he was not aware the bailiffs were waiting for the prisoner—at all events, if they were, it was not by his instructions. The barrister then proceeded to cross-examine the complainant, who, in answer to the questions, said that he was living on his property ; that he had been formerly captain of a merchantman, but since ho had retired from a seafaring life he was in the habit of discounting bills; that the prisoner called on him after the bill was dishonoured , at which period a Mr. Wells was complainant's attorney. He (complainant) did proceed to prisonor's house at Ash, an d compare d the bill of sale he had previously taken from him with the property on the premises, and then found the articles were stolen. Ile added, that he believed that there was a writ of execution out against the accused ; that having heard the prisoner had come into the possession of property at Chester, and was absent from Ash, he (complainant) certainly did look after him at the former place on finding he had de prived him of the principal portion of the property enumerated in the bill of sale. The complainant admitted that he s en t d own a bailiff to arrest the prisoner at Chester. Mr. COTTINGHAM said, that after that admission, it was evident the complainant had pursued a civil remedy in the first instance, and therefore he (the magistrate) should comply with the application made on behalf of the accused, and at once admit him to hail to answer the charge.

AUSTRALIA.—By a letter received lately from a Canadian emigrant, who, with 60 persons, left the Islaud of Mull about eighteen months ago for that colony, only sixteen have survived the first Cana dian winter, the severity of the climate and their great privations having proved fatal to so many hardy High landers. What a contrast does the climate of Australia preseet! Sickness and disease are scarcely known there, food is actually wasted from want of mouths; the la bouring classes in that healthful colony have never known want, in the European sense of the term, for food and clothing are in abundance; a little shelter and slight clothing all that is required, from the delightful climate—a great inducement to those who are inclined to emigrate from their native country, and where they can find abundant employment. EXPENSE OF TILE METROPOLITAN POLICE ESTA.- BusHmENT.—An account of the receipts and expendi ture for the service of the Metropolitan Police in the year ended December 31, 1847, has been just published.

TILE FRENCH:TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-SHIP COM PANY.—It was stated a few weeks ago that the four steam ships belonging to this company which had been constructed at a great expense to keep up a regular communication between Havre and New York were to be taken of the station, in consequence of the heavy losses sustained by the company, which amounted to fully 2,000,000 f. It is now said, however, that the French Government, in accordance with the wishes of the ori ginal projectors and several influential merchants in Havre, will re-arrange the line, and, after giving the steamers new furnaces, increasing the power of the engines, and making other improvements, place them again in the trade early in the spring.—Liverpool PETITIONS TO THE HOUSE or COMMONS: 1 t appears from the loth report for the session o f public petitions, that up to Wednesday last 305 petitions, with 22,611 signatures, have been presented against the Jew ish Disabilities Bill; 526 in its favour, with 251,862 signatures. THE LATE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURT.—The mortal remains of the late venerable Primate of all Ergland will, it is expected, be removed from Lambeth Palace on Saturday next, for interment , at Addington, near Croydon. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort sent to make inquiries after the health of Mrs. Howley on Friday, and on Saturday and yesterday the calls of the nobility and gentry at the palace were very numerous.

Our Neapolitan letters of the 3d instant state, in addition to the facts we have before given, that the resignation of M. Cassaro, President of the Consulta- Generale de Regno, had caused much regret to the Liberal party, who attributed that step to the diffi culties opposed by the King to his wise policy in re spect of Sicily. " From Messina the late accounts have been alarm ing," says one of our letters ; the Generals Cardamina and Nuunciante promised Captain Codrington, of the Thetis, that they would not bombard the town without giving 24 hours' previous notice, and that if they bombarded it, they would only fire on that part of it where the insurgents were congregated in the greatest numbers. Notwithstanding the solemn pledge thus given, the forts opened on the town indis criminately, and without the slightest notice, on the 29th. One shell fell and burst in the drawing-room of the house belonging to Mr. Sanderson. The bom bardment continued for an hour and a half. The Consuls went in a body to the Generals on the 30th, and took them to task for having broken their word. They excused themselves by saying that a subordi nate officer had taken upon himself to fire; also that the people had attacked them first. This Captain Codrington denied, stating that he was on shore at the time. The General, however, is said to have answered, that he did attempt to stop the firing, but his officers would not obey him. A letter, dated Messina, 31st, now before me, states, in the first place, that the General on the 29th took it into his head to attack the people. The people fought well, and drove the troops back, killing SG, and capturing two gun s . The General, enraged, immediately commenced bom barding the town, and fired 280 shells and shot into it, doing much harm to the houses. The loss o f lif e on the part of the Messinese was very small. " A few h un dreds (300 or 400) of th e w i ves an d children of the soldiers have come t o N ap l es f rom Messina ; they areinstructed to say no thi ng . I have been out again to obtain fresh information. I am sorry to say I cannot give you any news from Pa lermo. I s uppose and beli eve th at t h e f or t s h ave b een taken. It is, I believe true, that the Fort Castella mare er tts taken by assault ; th a t th e Palermitans at tackeditin three ranks; as soon as any of the front ra nk fell, their places were supplied by those who were behind them, and who had no muskets. The remnant of the soldiers then escaped out of the fort. " Lord Napier was a ppli e d to by the Sicilians to mediate, but they w ould accept no terms from the King until they had a national Parliament assembled to consider their grievances. " A proclamation of pardon for all political offen ders, including those heretofore exempted, from 1830 to January 23d, 1848, has been published. " The more wretched of the troops from Palermo were landed at Castellamare. I saw some of them yesterday march into one of the forts here. Most of those had, however, shirts and neckerchiefs and muskets, but the greater part of the returned soldiers are, I believe, destitute of those three necessary arti cles for comfort and war. They have certainly been most completely beat en. A friend of mine, in con versation with one of the officers just returned, was given a description of the horrors of the late scene. Women and boys,' said he, fought with hot oil, hot water, guns, and pistols, to the total discomfort and discomfiture of the royal troops.

Thomas Fenly, a porter in the employment of the company of the Eastern Counties Railway, was charged with stealing 2.1 b. of rope-yarn, the property of the said company. Sparkes, one of the employes at the Brick-lane station, said he stopped the prisoner at about six o'clock this morning, and found upon him the rope yarn now produced. It was the property of the company. Witness had since searched the prisoner's lodgings, and had found four sacks and a wrapper, but could not identify either of the latter as the pro perty of the company. The prisoner said that the sacks and wrapper were his own property. lie had been twelve months a porter in the company's employment, and had, from the commercement of his servitude, invariably been allowed the refuse pieces of yarn similar to that pro duced. Mr. Sparkes said that all refuse was disposed ( f by the company, and strict orders had been issued by the latter that none of the servants should take any thing off tl:e premises. Mr. HAMMILL said he believed the prisoner had acted under an erroneous impression, and discharged him. MURDEROUS ASSAULT AND ATTEMPT AT ROD-. B ERy.-13RItTOL, MONDAY.—A daring outrage was committed yesterday at the house of the Rev. Mr. Strickland, living in Great George-street, in this city. Between seven and eight o'clock last night two men called at Mr. Strickland's house, and asked if he was at home, as they wished to see him. The servant ques tioned them as to whether they knew her master, and they replied that they did, adding, that their business was important. She then requested them to walk in, and wait till Mr. Strickland (who was officiating at Christ Church, of wl ich he is the rector,) should return. The . men were asked into the kitchen, and as the servant was putting chairs for them to sit down, one of them struck her a violent blow upon the head with a mallet, which ho had hitherto concealed. The blow felled her to the ground, rendering her insensible. The other female servant, walking down the stairs at the time, saw the blow struck, and immediately ran up stairs and into the street, and cried " Murder." The villains quickly followed her, and escaped, leaving the mallet, a formidable weapon, behind them. Their object was evidently to rob the house. The poor servant has suffered concussion of the brain, and lies in a very dangerous state. A reward of 20/. has been offered for the apprehension of the fellows.—From a Correspondent. APPROACHING MARRIAGE. The preliminaries have been definitively arranged for the marriage of Vis count Enfield, M.P., son of General the Earl of Straf ford, and Miss Harriet Cavendish, youngest daughter of the Hon. Charles and Lady Catherine Cavendish. The noble bridegroom is a widower, having married in 1829 Lady Agnes Paget, daughter of the Marquis of Angle sey, by whom, who died in October, 1845, he had a family of six children. The fair fiancee is in her 28th year. The marriage is to be solemnised early in the ensuing month. DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF CHAELEVILLE.—The Countess of Charleville died suddenly at Naples on the Ist inst. from an affection of the heart. The deceased Countess, who was third a -ausbter of Lady Charlotte Bury, by her first marriage with the late Colonel John Campbell, was sister of Lady Arthur Lennox and Mrs. Langton', Brook, and cousin of the Duke of Argyll. Her Ladyship was in the prime of life. She married 26th February, 1821, the Earl of Charleville (then Lord Tullamore), by whom her Ladyship leaves a family of three sons and a daughter, namely, Lord Tullamore, the lion. Jt hn J. and the Hon. Alfred Bury, and Lady Beaujolais Bury. Sir John Cam Hobbouse will receive the mem. hers of the Cabinet at dinner to-morrow evening, at his mansion in Berkeley-square. The Right Honourable Baronet has also issued cards for a grand banquet, to come off early in the ensuing month. Mr. Bunn s period of management at the Surrey Theatre terminated, after a brilliant season, on Friday last, and Mrs. Davidge, the lessee, has resumed the reins of government. We regret to state that the Dowager Lady Cawdor is very alarmingly indisposed, at her Ladyship's villa at Twickenham. The Earl and Countess of Cawdor have arrived on a visit to her Ladyship from Wales.

THE SALMON FISHERT.—The take at Worcester since the opening, January 1, has been very fair and almost, if not quite equal to last year's, and, as the sea son advances, the fishery is becoming more abundant. On Tuesday eight fine fish were taken at the old draught, at Diglis. The fishers in the country below Gloucester are begining to catch fish. Some fine salmon, one about 301b5., were caught in that district last week. It is very rare, indeed, that the salmon is taken so plentifully in that quarter during January or Vebruory, its at Wore Getter.— Worcester Herald
