"That on the 26th of October, lathi, th • Raja appeared talono the secret Commission, consisting of Colonel Lodwick, Mr. Willoughby !Ind Colonel Ovens, and requeste a Maliratta copy of so much of ill( depositions of the two Soobalidars and the Brahmin as affected him- Belt', which was not at the time objected to.' " That on the 27th October the Commission w,re occupied the treater part of thin day In preparing Malira , ta translations of the evidence regarding the interview at the Palace, for the ultimate use ef his Highness the Raja of Sattara.' (I'ar. Pa. No. 569 of 1813, P• 348.) " That Sir Robert Grant, Governor of Bombay, recorded in fl Minute of Council, on the 15111 of August, 1817, (Par. Pa. p. 36 , para. 12);—' that he was strongly of opinion that, before the case is conclusively disposed of, the I: aja should be made !rem:tinted with the fresh evidence that has been elicited against Linn, and should be allowed the opportunity of offering' defence or e xplanation.' And again, in his Minute of Council of the 20th of Iteptember, 1837, (Par. Pa. p. 100, para. 13,) suggests, 'That colonel ) ,Talls should be instructed to prepare a co m p lete it. lenient of 'ne ease which has been established against the Raja, in order that when his inquiries are concluded, it may be furnished to hie I llgliness for any such explanation, or answer, as he may choose to offer.' That Mr.Wathen,Chief Secretary to the Government of Bombay, in his letter to Colonel thane, dated the 27th of September, 1837, 'directed Colonel Ovans to prepare a complete statement of the case established against the Raja, that it may he furnished to the Raja, and that if this statement be denied, his Highness should be con fronted with the witnesses, the most effective measures being adapted for their protection.' (Par. Pa., p. 422, para. 48.) "That Sir Robert Grant, again, in a Minute of Council, dated:the alit of May, 1838, says, The Baja has not been told of the evidence taken by Colonel Ovens, and undoubtedly has a right to be heard in his ' I repeat this opinion (which lie) expressed in a Minute of Council, in August, 1837, not meaning that there should be merely the form or farce of a trial, to be closed by a ready-made judgment, but that the defence should be fairly heard and impar- U eda` weighed.' (Par. Pa., p. 205, para. 53.) Minute, That Lord Auckland, the Governer - Genera l of India, in a 21 Inute, dated 23d of September, 1838, ordered in the following words I would, as suggested by Sir Ittpert Grant, request that the '"eie should be furnished with a written statement , em b o d y in g a tall and clear detail of the facts connected with the several charges, and of the names (with any reservations which may be absolutely l'etaired for the safety of the party) of the witnesses by whom they Are proved, with a notice of the circumstances under which the evi dence was obtained, and call for from him, within a certain reason able time to be fixed, a similar written statement of whatever he t AI.Y desire to urge in his own behalf.' (Par. Pa., p. 229, para. 12.) Thatnotwithstanding the preparations of the evidence promised by toe Commission (which closed its proce edin g s on the 4th November, 1846 ). and the repeated desire expressed by the Governor of Bombay, and the Governor-General of India, that a statement of the whole oi ti s _te evidence taken against the Raja sh ould be p laced:in his Highness's land, tech statement was withheld, for reasons secretly stated by Colonel Ovens, Colonel Ovens personally Informing his Highness, 'That the proceedings of the Commission being strictly secret, it did not consider itself authorised to grant a copy or any part of those Proceedings to any person whatsoever.' (Par. Pa., p. 367.) " That the dethronement of the late Raja of Sattara,when' no sud- WI emergency, nor imminent danger, nor any preparations made by hina for' commencing: hostilities,' threatened, without obtaining the previous and express sanction of the Home authorities for the act, was a violation of the 33d Geor g e Third, cap. 52, sec. 42 and 43 , made and provided to guard against and prohibit the exercise of such dangerous and despotic power by any subordinate authority in India, viz. : " Section 43—' It shall not be lawful for the Governor-General in Council, without the express command or authority of the Court of Directors, or of the Secret Committee, by the authority of the Board of Control, in any case (except where hostilities have actually Veen commenced, or preparations actually made for the commencement of hostilities against the British nation in • India), either to declare war, or commence hostilities, or enter into any treaty for making war, Etc.' "Resolved,—That this Court, taking all these circumstances into Consideration, is of opinion that the dethronement of the Raja of Battens, by Sir James Carnac, without furnishing hint with a copy of the evidence taken in secret against him, and thereby withholding from him the means of making a defence, and without the previous consent and authority of the Court of Directors, or the Secret Coin. Mince of that Court, and of the Board of Control, was unjust, pre mature, and contrary to law ; and, therefore, the guilt or innocence of the late Raja of Setters, and the conduct of the Bombay Govern ment, in these transactions, ought to be made the subject of a public and impartial inquiry, alike for the protection of the Princes of India In alliance with the East India Company, from the perpetration of similar wrongs, for the satisfaction of the ends of justice, and for the vindication of the konour of the British nation, and the security Of the British 'Empire in the East."

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor trinity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Brimstone, of the Ilerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hairon her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is stanch stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s Rogenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Hs. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, net only in the restoration and production of hair in abund *Lee, but as a cure et nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti tar beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure In answering any lady of respectability to the above tact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the bead occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, muse it strong, and Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A kw drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The must delicate ladies may use this delightful product *1 the most aromatic herbs end flowers with confidence ; its refreshing Odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops en the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair ou children's heads in a few apppllcations. If used OH' infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre -rent convulsions, as well as pm - noting the growth of hair.-see Pamphlet el testimonials.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the Ut iversity of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' hall, London, Honorary Member of the Loudon hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the *light of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could itbe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when Used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses t on she nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, ihan any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete acconnt of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions In health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of wldek every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether Required In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sufleriag from their Invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In actieg thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelliaeat and practical pkysiciam and to the medical man who can show by his posse-sioa of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect la his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] A DREADFUL ABSCESS UNDER THE CHIN CUBED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PlLLS.—Robert Davidson, shoemaker, of An struther, had suffered for more than five years with a very dreadful abscess under his chin. During this time he had been under the care of two surgeons in Anstru thrr, and one in Edinburgh, without the least prospect of a cure ; in this miserable condition he began to use Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which in the short space of two months soundly healed the wound, and he is now enjoying the best of health. These fine medicines ere admirable remedies for King's evil, wounds of all kinds, burns, scalds, piles, fistula, and bearings down. Sold b y n il druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish ment, 244, Strand, London. REVIVED USE OF MEMORIAL BRASSES.-111r. J. W.

THE SPEAKER'S LEVEES.—The Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Cumulous will hold levees on the 11th, 18th, and 25th of the present month. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS• CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was less firm, prices of all kinds being in favour of buyers. Sales 4,000 bales, American being 41d. to 6d. per lb. Railway Shares have been better supported, but there was very little doing. Accounts have come to hand dated the 16th by the Mediator from New • York, but the letters are much the same in tenour as those already received. The Wash ington steamer from New York brings dates of February 20, but as she only reached Southampton at half-past eleven this morning, the papers are not .yet in town. The moneyed and mercantile men of the City, and we doubt not also of the country at large, are looking with intense anxiety to tho progress of political events abroad, as affording some clue to their future proceed ings, and it would appear, from the opportunity of ,judging which we possess, and from the conversation we have held with many influential parties, that it is regarded as being by no means expedient just now to enter into operations connected with the Continent. Great political changes must, it is held, take place from north to south in Europe; and although the effect ultimately, we may confidently hope, will be to place the institutions of the various countries upon a liberal and more enduring basis, the resist ance which is at first likely to be shown must unhinge confidence. The Continent is much more vul nerable than England, and for a time, at least, we may expect the latter, by persevering in a wise and firm neutrality to become the favoured country for the de posit of the surplus and unemployed capital of surround ing nations. Indeed, it is the opinion of many that even a continental war would be in no way prejudicial to us, provided we act as did the United States of old, let ethers fight while we trade. The Paris bankers, Messrs. Gouin have suspended, and at Amsterdam, among the firms in difficulties, are Westendorp and Co., Mendes de Leon and Co., Thors, Swarth, and Schellwald, and one or two others, mostly connected with Stock Ex , . - .e.ngo and bill transactions. The purchases of stock by the public generally have not been materially checked by the news of the retire ment of M. Godechaux, the French Minister of Finance, but speculators have sold upon it, and a few holders have followed their example. Consols opened at 82k 4—a fall of to per cent. upon the highest values paid yesterday atter the close of the Stock Exchange—the riots at Glasgow, and the feeling against the income-tax having .more to do with the decline, perhaps, than the foreign intelligence received. At present Consols are 814 to 824. The Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities have been 82} to 824. Bank Stock has realised 191 to 194. Exchequer-bills have risen to 255. and 30s. pre mium. _ _ The Foreign Stock Market is rather lively again, but buyers are met still ra.her freely by sellers. Spanish Five per Cents. are quoted 13 to 134, and the Three per Cents. 24 to 245. Mexican bonds have realised 14i t) 151. Chilian bonds have been 89 to 90 Russian Stock has been at 97. The official Stock Ex change list yesterday morning, erroneously quoted them 93. Dutch Two-and-a-llalf per Cents. have fluctuated from 424 to 44. In the Railway Share Market a fair business has been done, and the quotations of the English lines are tolerably well supported. French Shares are, however, again lower.

REDUCTION. —This is a fact—the cause is an en' rmous stock having been purchased from a Lamp bouse retiring from busi ness, at fifty-seven per cent. under the cost prices. The whole will be cleared out at this enormous deviation from the actual prices., from the establishment :of the METROPOLITAN LIGHT COM PANY, 447, West Sti and. The stock consists of a chaste and extremely beaatiful selection of Table Lamps, for oil and candles; Oil and Candle Chandeliers, a few Sideboard and Bracket Lamps. Candelabra, and Candlesticks for Table and Pianoforte. The Oil Lamps are fitted up with the Diamond Burners, and Candle Lamps of the very latest i oprovement. An early call, to make the first choice, is recommended, for the sale cannot last long—the low price will induce all to buy. At one half the price every article will be sold. METROPOLITAN LIGHT COMPANY. Richard Clark, Resident Manager, 447, West Strand. DIAMOND OIL LAM'.-NEW LIGHT. The Diamond Lamp is the best light in the world—is used la all the palaces in Europe—is fres from all the imperfections or ordi nary oil lamps—so simple it cannot be mismanaged—Co cleaning re qaired for years—costs less in burning than any 'cumin oil lamp — ,gives doable the light of candle lamps, at one-half the expense—this is beyond doubt. Designs suited to every taste—the Diamond Lamp Is perfection in Light—the public will have none other—it can be fitted to any person'a lamp pillar. To ►e had only (and burning coatlnually) at the Establishalent of the Metropolitax Light Company, RICHARD CLARK, Resident Manager, 447, West Strand, London. Persons residing in the country need only send their oil cups, or the old lamp-head, to have the Diamond Lamp fitted. N.B. tiny none other than the Diamond Lamp. L I N I) . BU N N versus The trial is over of " nuns versus Lind, ♦nd by means of the papers, the facts have got wind. Mr. ?im' had his lawyers. and so had poor Jenny, Who now, it appears, has to pay a rare penny. Two Thousand Five Hundred, besides all expellees, Is enough to make Jenny bereft of her senses. This minstrel, whose masks has made us so fond, Has to pay this amount, having broken her bond; Tes, in spite of the Speeches of ciounsel vehement, Jenny Lind is declared to have broken agreement. And certainly that is a serious charge Which should give a broad hint to the public at large. I have thought since I heard of this action of Bunn, Of the public agreement of MOSES and SON. MOSES and SON, as ou all must respond, 'lave never been known to dishonour their bond. In the whole of their promises, no matter what, They've stuck to their contract, if Jenny has not. Their llresa•coals are proofs that they stick to their terms, A tot the svliole of their stock this agreement confirms. Their elegant fashion, and quality, too, Ara proofs that they keep their agreement in view ; And an action should never 1,e,91 entered by Bunn, Had the " Nightingale" acted like MOiKi and SON.

The Irish Council indignant at the refusal of the House of Commons to sanction the inquiry into the efficiency and working of the Irish Poor-law, which had been asked for by the almost unanimous voice of the Irish Representatives (upon which refusal we commented last week), held a special meeting at the Northumber land-buildings, on Friday, March 3d, 1848; the Right Hon. Lord Clor.curry took the chair, when it was resolved —" That the recent division in the House of Commons, on the motion for an inquiry into the operation of the Irish Poor-law, exhibits a determination on the part of Government and Legislature to rule this country with out regard to the will of the Irish people, as expressed through their representatives ; and that the Irish Council considering the impossibility of providing ade quate subsistence for the perishing poor without an im mediate alteration of the law, declare their deep dissatis faction at such refusal of inquiry. " That the Council do meet on this day week, and that the Members of the Council, especially those who are Members of Parliament, be earnestly requested to attend, for the purpose of considering how most effectively that dissatisfaction may be manifested. (Signed) "CLONCURRY, Chairman. " SAMUEL FERGUSON, " (In the absence of Sir Colman O'Loghlen,) "Acting llon. Secretary." EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY. On Saturday, as Mr. Beadon, the sitting magistrate at Wandsworth Police-court, was about quitting the bench, John William Thompson, a fine-looking man, about 35 years of age, who was described as the captain of the Medora, was placed in the dock, charged with stealing a quantity of gold dust, to the value of nearly 7,0001., consigned to and the property of Mr. W. M. Hutton, of Larkhall-lane, Clapham, and 25, Watling street, City, merchant. The property, with the excep tion of a few hundred pounds' worth, was produced in court. Mr. Hutton, having been sworn, said the prisoner was captain of a vessel belonging to him, and called the Medora steamer. She left Shoreham in October 1 last for the Gold Coast of Africa, there to receive a cargo of palm oil, and to bring over freight from the merchants residing at Cape Coast and other settle. meets. The prisoner received on board a quantity of gold dust, consigned principally to themselves. On Friday they received a letter from their cot'- 1 respondent announcing the arrival of the ship at Ports mouth, and another from the ship, written by the prisoner, in which he stated that on leaving the Gold Coast he was seized with the fever, which threw him into a state of delirium, and while in that state he had thrown all the gold dust overboard. Prosecutor imme diately dispatched two of his confidential clerks to Portsmouth, and on their arrival there they found the prisoner had left the ship and started for London. This conduct aroused their suspicions, and they commenced making inquiries amongst the dealers in bullion, and discovered that the prisoner had sold a quantity of gold dust to Messrs. Emanuel, in the High -street. The clerks consequently returned to London, and that morn ing prosecutor and his son endeavoured to trace out the hiding place of the prisoner. Knowing that he was in the habit of staying, when in town, at his brother-in law's, a Mr. Cooper, a surgeon, in the Clapham-road, he Icaused a letter to be sent to that house directed in his name, and as it was taken in prosecutor gave such information to the police as led to the prisoner's appre hension. _ Police constable Gibbs, 77 V, a very active officer, stated that that morning, at nine o'clock, he was directed by the last witness to watch a house opposite the Bed ford Arms. He did so for some time, and then went and knocked at the door, and asked if Captain Thomp son was there? He was answered in the affirmative, and shown upstairs to Captain Thompson's room. He there saw the prisoner at breakfast, and asked if he was Cap tain Thompson? He said he was, and witness then told him he was come to take him on suspicion of stealing 600 ounces of gold dust, and asked him it he had brought any luggage, as he must search it? Ue said, " Yes; and would show witness where it was." Prisoner then went into a front bedroom, and, pointing to a basket and box, said " The property is there." He found four large bags of gold dust in the basket and five smaller ones in the trunk; the whole of the bags contained gold dust. During .the time witness was searching the room prisoner was sitting on the bed. He had some papers in his hands, and banded them to witness, who said, " What is this?" and be said the produce of the other property. Witness then found that the papers consisted of twenty 51. notes of the Portsmouth branch of the Bank of England, and a cheque on a bank far 1421. ss. ; the prisoner also gave witness ten doubloons, which he also said was part of the property. The gold dust was weighed by steelyards, and was 116 pound avoirdupois weight. The prisoner had on his person a gold chrono meter, 51. in money, a Mexican dollar, and half a dollar. Police sergeant Emerson, 9 V, stated that after the prisoner was brought to the station lie went to Mr. Cooper's house, and upon searching the roam where the prisoner slept he found the small portmanteau produced, and in it another bag of gold dust. He also found a belt, for securing undr the clothes, with braces attached. This belt, which was about eight inches broad, was stitched at intervals of about two inches, and each inter stice was filled with gold dust. It would appear that the prisoner conveyed the gold ashore by means of this belt. The prisoner identified the trunk at the station, and said the gold dust found was the remainder of the load. Prosecutor asked prisoner if he had any more, and he said no. There was altogether 1,600 ounces. In answer to a question from the bench, the prose cutor said there were different freights of gold dust, and it all appeared to have been missed together. Some was consigned to a house at Bristol, and part to a house in London. The prisoner said the gold dust was originally in small boxes; he broke these open and destroyed them, and afterwards mixed the dust altogether and put it in the bags as it now was. The prosecutor said the value of the gold dust pro duced would be about 6,4001., at 3/ 17s. per ounce. He expected the vessel round by Monday. lie trusted that the gold would bo delivered up to him, as he wished to deposit it in the bullion office of the Bank of England. The cheque was also due that day, and should be cashed. ^ M Mr. Beadon thought otherwise; it was at present a very grave question, whether the Messrs. Emanuel, who had given that cheque, had given fair value for the gold; if they had not done so, and prosecutor con verted their cheque into cash, he would be a consenting party to the sale, and would not be able to recover from them afterwards. Mr. Beadon addressed the prisoner, saying—You have no gentleman present to defend you, and, there fore, it is my duty to caution you. You are at liberty now to state anything you please. Prisoner—l sold sixty ounces to Emanuel. I re ceived 60s. per ounce for one lot, and 655. for another lot. He weighed it and tested it, and asked no ques tions. I also sold him some doubloons, which were part of the consignment . Mr. Beadon said he should remand tho prisoner to a future day. The gold would be deposited in the bullion office, and he should advise the prosecutor to proceed immediately to Portsmouth, and obtain a warrant to search Emanuel's house. The prisoner was then remanded. ABOLITION of the INCOME-TAX. HULL, MARCR 6.—A meeting was held this d a y in the Town Hall, "to petition against rating to the inconae-tax, incomes derived from personal exertions after the same rate as those derived from realised capital." The meeting was convened on the requisition of about ..170TIV gigr t:1 rps. porn prised of cTe e rgy h m un en d" ol the Church of England, and other religious bodies, lawyers, surgeons, merchants, tradesmen, and others. The worshipful the Mayor occupied the chair. When the importance of the subject is taken into consideration, the numerous and highly influential names that were attacked to the requisition, the paucity of the meeting is surprising—not more than ono hundred and fifty persons being present, and not above one-third of those payers of the tax. The apathy in a population of nearly eighty thousand is scarcely to be accounted for, except by the patience with which John Bull submits to his burdens. The usual petition was adopted pro forma, and in pr i n cipal speakers being persons who dead figure s d i c a n t c a e, r tlic recent peace meeting , held in the town. After the business of t he meetin g had been d isposed of, the Mayor called upon the town clerk to read a letter from M. T. Baines, Esq., one of the members for the borough, which set forth that he had voted in the mino rity.with Mr. Horeman on the income-tax, and his in tention to support Mr. Hume's amendment to restrict its operation to one year. After the letter had been read a vote of thanks was moved by the Chairman to Mr. Baines, for his attention c rda c Clay, ay with Esq the ., w h object o as shown the and services in the House of Commons. This, as might have been expected, met with cons id era bl e oppos i t i on , many thinking it not only p rema t ure , h u t no t i n ac cordance upon the other highly-esteemed Member, James every meeting, attention andalso a to the business of the b oroug h, an d w h ose vote i s recor d e d i n The Sun of Saturd a y, a l ong w ith M r . B a i nes .' During the a lt erca ti on w hi c h t oo k pla ce , a person connected with the press boldly stated that he had a letter from Mr. Clay, stating his regret that he had ac cidentally been shut out from the division, which, how ever, was received with no little incredulity, the letter not being forthcoming to prove the inaccuracy of the votes of the House as given in The Sun. Her Majesty has nominated Lord Dalhousie to be a Knight of the 'Thistle, vacant by the death of Earl Moray. We are requested to state that Sir De Lacy Evans supported Mr. Horsman's amendment against the ha come-tax as at present assessed, having paired with Sir John M•Taggart, who was in favour of the Government measure.

STRAND THEATRE.—On Thursday evening last ft benefit took place at this pretty theatre in aid of the funds of the Free Hospital for Women and Children in North Audley-street, an institution which, though young in foundati,n, has done vn immensity of good in its neighbourhood to poor suffering humanity, It is in the most extended sense of the`term a free hospital, neither letter nor recommendation being requirll to gain ad mission, illness being the passport to the blessings of the charity. Magnificently as this great country is adorned with charitable institutions of all kinds, none de:erre better to participate in the sums annually b, queathed to relieve the sufferings of the humble or to sooth afflk!tion. The performances commenced with the Country Squire, a drama too well known to need further comment than to say, the character of the Squire was well sus tained by Rogerson, Horace Seiwood found a capital representative in Mr. Payne, as did the part of Sparrow in Mr. Oxberry. Miss Love, as Fanny, was admirable, and in her description of the chase, hunting, and shoot ine, frequently reminded us of Mrs. Nisbett, as Lady Gay Spanker, in London Assurance. Some beautiful dancing by Mdlle. L. Blanche and a concert followed, in which Misses Ransford, Nelson, O'Connor, and Mr. Ransford took part. Wilk's clever farce of the Captain's not a Miss succeeded, in which Mr. Laws sustained the character of Captain Daring excellently. Miss Jane Coleman, as Fanny, disguised as the tiger, John Stock, acted to admiration—she looked the very spirit of in trigue and mischief in top boots. Miss E. Terry, as Mary, sustained the character with her usual excellence and espiegle. Oxberry's clever burlesques of Lucy of Lammermoor closed the evening's'entertainments. We trust the funds of the charity will be greatly benefited by the receipts of the evening. The house was crowded, We understand the Daughter of the Regiment is to be the opening cpera at this theatre on Tuesday next, for which Miss Poole, Mrs. King, Mr. Borrani, Mr. King, and an effective chorus, under the direction of Mr. Tully, has been engaged, a sufficient guarantee that the different novelties will bo produced in a style of first-rata excellence. PRINTERS PENSION SOCIETY.—The annual genera_ meeting, and 26th election. of this society, was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of transacting the usual business, and electing eight pen sioners on the general funds, and the candidate ninth on the poll to the Whittingbam pension—Richard Taylor, Esq., in the chair. Mr. Hodson, the secretary, read the report, which stated that, notwithstanding the late depression in the printing business, the annual sub scriptions were but a few pounds short of the previous year. After the last election the number of pensioners was raised to fifty-flve, of whom twelve died during the year, the benefit received by them varying from six months to nineteen years, and that the subscriptions had not only been equal to the pensions, but left a surplus of 201. As regarded the anniversary dinner, the report stated, that Luke Hansard, Esq., had presided, and on this occasion it was announced that his Royal Highness Prince Albert had consented to become the patron of the society, and had accompanied this consent with a donation of 251. The Chairman had also given an additional contribution of 501., making the entire amount of his subscription 1801. The report next alluded, in highly flattering rms, to the exe'tttons of Lord liudley btuart, M.P., in behalf of this society, who handed in at the dinner 361. from a few noble authoresses of his acquaintance, the total receipts of the anniversary being 3301. 4s. The funded property of the society had also been increased 2501., making the total amount of funded property 5,014 4s. 6d. The financial sheet showed the total receipts, with the balance of last year, to be 1,3781. Is. 9d.; and the ex penditure, 1,2601.95.; leaving a balance of 1171. lis. 9d. The report was received and ordered to be printed. Some routine business having been transacted, the chairman announced the result of the poll for pensioners, which was as follows:—Samuel liedgeland, 5,017; John Case, 3,571; John Roue, 3,329; Thomas Reeves, 3,095; Clarissa Friend, 3,035; Walter Hildyard, 2,579; Jemima M. A. Bullock, 2,245; Elizabeth Campbell, 1,982; and Elizabeth Arnold, 1,682, the Whittingham Pension. It was also announced that Mr. Brettell, late of Rupert-street, had left a legacy of 1001., and Mr. Wilson 101. to the funds of the society; and that the Marquis of Northampton, President of the Royal Society, had consented to take the chair at the next anniversary meeting. The meeting was then dissolved. THE Intsn POoIt•LAW.—A letter from Lord John Russell, received by the Chairman of the Dunmanway Union, upon the subject of the town-land rating, sh ow , that an inquiry is to be instituted to ascertain whether any change can be beneficially made in the area of the , unions of electoral divisions. Among the passengers by the West India steamer Avon, which left Southampton on Friday evening, were M. llusson and General llostoland, deputed by the Pro visional Government at Paris to proclaim the Republic in the French Antilles. Yesterday the Lamb and Flag Ragged Schools, Clerkenwell, were visited by the Bishops of Antigua and Madras, accompanied by the Bishop of Norwich's daughter. The visitors were highly gratified at the manner in which the children acquitted themselves, and both their Lordships highly commended all they saw. " LYNCH LAw. '—MT. Baker, railway contractor of Yeovil, on Friday last, observed a man steal a whip from a gig in Mr. Thomas's yard, and quickly following the rogue h e ma d e him return his booty, and having done so gave him a good flogging with the very article he would have stolen!— Worcester Herald. EARLY POTATOES.—On the 21st February, some ash leaf kidney potatoes were raised by Mr. Daniel Tombs, of Walnut Tree Cottage, near the town, which were of excellent quality, and free from disease.
