The mechanics a nd other la rtrs, occupied in the heart of the metropoli s, and leavin g wives and f ther: ar allies• who are compelled to dwell in l ocalities where employ is to be found, su rely demand some consideration. •r. t h% Committee desire forthwith to make an earnest attempt to me et the wants of this interesting and important class of persons. tr at Present have in view two bites , in t he ver y centre of tho ono oAolle ,either of which would admira,dy answer the purpose. b,, l 'hey are endeavouring to gain poseession oh one of them, hut It. will i 'l l ecessary, in order to their effecting this object in a prtiper end 6, 4 aclent manner, that they should first raise it sum 01 5 ,0001 or which will obviously be required to erect any building of such va 's b ",nt as to to serve as a model for future undertakings. Hence a 1 10 ": aPPeal must be made, since the whole of th e Sociec y 's funds been exhausted in the completion of the three works above enu trete& The Committee believe that with the Christian public of this coun t?il Co further plea need lie used than that of the duty an d impor -6., bene fi ting the poor, especially with respe ct to their dwellings. 14 74 it cannot be out of place to remark, that while meas ures for the there of the health of the metropolis are urg ed on ever y side, re can be no measure so effectual for this purpose as that of ex the wretched abodes, into which the pier are now too often bio bi;_" c led for well-planned, well-drained, and properly ventilated ha tioas. The Committee believe that this can be done even at a loner rate of charge for rent than that which the labourer is now 'Ran forced to pay, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable agive them the means of still further demonstrating this important b 9 actual experiment. It cannot be too oft en re p eated, that 0 11 e our poor are forced, as at present , to crowd to g ether, all a g es jti sexes to the same sleeping apartment, the preservation of either 4 4Ith or morals is rendered all but an impessibility.

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- Malty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grinistoue, of the lierbary, High gate for the etticacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having coot pletely restored the h ai r on her head, after using it about tour months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than lover was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to; the virtues of Mr. o.'s ttegenator, feeling assured that many ladles would gladly purchase an I 1,. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she Is, from ex perielce, net only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ,fxo, but as a ears of nervous headache; as a toilet perftimeiti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasire is answering any ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Berougk." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, er turning grey, are w drops en the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, canning it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In reset; of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very had, repeat it every quarter of an astir. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It prodices hair ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, 9.3 well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Ilonorary Mouth& of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage reqnires tiie fulfilment of several conditions, la order that it may be really the CAUSe of mutual happhie es . C ou ld th e veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretc i hodn o cas, be raised, la raclosued, and Its tree source is eve r y instance disclosed, ni, w many Ittie traced to phyeical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the girt, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific scarce of mischief and of greater or lees injury to the constitutional and vital powers. 'rho particular excesses, o n .ho nature and conseouence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains as accurate aid complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reprocinctive Orgtins, and of their relatiye conditions la health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention aid study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of wk i c k every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sufferiag 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 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination In ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse• slain of the requisite legal qualifications that lie is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should he extended. Dr. LA'MEItT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY. QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very (lull. Sales 3,000 bales, with a decided tendency down wards. Railway Shares continued dull, and prices were again lower. The new packet-ship London, Captain F. H. llebard, has arrived if Portsmouth from New York, in oi.zhteen da3 s, having sailed on the 20th of February. This is her first voyage. She is 1,200 tons burden. The infor mation of this arrival was received at the North and South American Coffee-house early this morning. It is said she has a fair freight and some specie on merchants' account. .Perhaps the most important feature in the intelligence that has been received from the continent this morning is the stated resignation of Prince Metternich, the old, the talented, and the ever wary diplomatist of Austria, who has always walked in the highest path of honour and of fame. And what is the reason of such a determination in favour of liberty ? He has discovered that the iron rule of his Emperor will not now satisfy Lombardy. This resignation, and under such anomalous circum stances as those alleged, must work wonders in every portion of the civilised globe, where reluctant Em perors, or heads of Government, are too prone to reject the claims of their people for rightful and for equitable reforms, and for concessions in favour of the extension of liberality. There has not been any news of importance received from the colonies this morning. The accounts received from Paris this morning give a rise of Five per Cent. in the French Rentes. Confidence had very considerably increased. In our Consol Market there has been an improvement, in the gross, from 60* to 811. The present value fbr the Account is 81* 4. Consuls for money have rallied from 80* to 81*, though now they are a little lower. Exchequer-bills have gone back to 255. premium. Bank and East India Steck is now shut, preparatory to the payment of the dividends. In the Foreign Market the only quotations have been in the Brazilian Five per Cents. at 77 and 73. The Portuguese Four per Cents. have fluctuated from 15 to 16 fur the account; the Portuguese Loans ranged from 15 to 16 ; the Spanish Five per Cents. from 11 i to 12; the Three per Cents. from 224- to 231. The Belgian Four per Cents. are at 201; and the Dutch Two-and a-Halt per Cents, at 411- to 41. There is a slight rally in the Railway Share Market this morning. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

George Gough, son to Lord Gough, is advanced to the rank of Lieut.-Colonel. "Of the enormity of her offence there can be no doubt, but as to the degree of deliberation displayed by her in its perpetration, it does appear to us that her determination does not go so far back as the iLearned Counsel for the prosecution would have led us i o infer from the letters of the prisoner which were read; ndeed, the impression on our mind is, that up to the very hour in which the fatal act was committed her purpose was not fixed, and that it was that crowning act of cruelty and indignity of the guilty deceased, in treating the prisoner with that deliberate and atrocious contempt, which then drove her to that state of frenzy and uncontrollable passion in which she committed the awful crime of murder. We cannot but think, from the whole of the conduct of the prisoner towards the deceased, as it appeared from the evidence, that it was only when she found herself the subject of that deli berate cruelty and determined baseness which drove her to a state of almost madness, that the guilty object of her abused confidence received at her hands the one fatal and only act which partook of the nature of revenge. " We trust that your Lordship will not understand us as attempting in any degree to palliate or excuse the in dulgence in such feelings of revenge, which must tend only to the subversion of the law, and to endanger the public safety; but we do hope that the law can in some way vindicate itself in a case like the present—a case almost without a parallel; and, while it spares the guilty prisoner from the hands of the public executioner, can show its utter abhorrence of that general and systematic sit onlyua t a i o d n i s o g f r t a h c i e s t u o n t f o h r a t t u n b a o t d e y w o t o m ruin perpetrated by a class of men upon persons in the whic h an—m e n theywho o a u r e g n b o u wt also to humanity itself. " We conclude, imploring your Lordship's considera tion and intercession on behalf of the unfortunate pri soner, and trust that your Lordship will be able to see a way by which the laws of our country can be vindi cated, while the life of this guilty yet deeply injured wo man may be spared. " With every feeling of respect and esteem we have the honour to remain, " Your Lordship's most obedient servants, " MATTHEW OWEN, Fore- " JOHN TOBY, man, JAMES MIIGGERIDGE, THOMAS MALTWOOD, EDWIN GARDNER, EDWARD TOWILL, JOHN J.

The second season of the Royal Italian Opera at Covent-Garden commenced last evening. During the recess the great evil of last season (the location of the seats in the second amphitheatre) has been removed. The absurd division into two amphitheatres has been done away with. The second amphitheatre, in which, from the back seats, it was impossible to catch a glimpse of the stage, has been joined to the old gallery, and the seats have been raised, so as to give to every occupant of a seat a view of the stage ; we have, in fact, a large commodious and comfortable gallery, instead of a small and comfortless gallery, and an amphitheatre deprived of a view of the stage. This is a great improvement, and is worthy of all praise. The orchestra has been increased in strength, and now numbers 86 performers; the increase has principally taken place in the stringed instruments. The strength of the choruses has also been increased. The opera chosen for the opening was the Tancredi of Rossini, the first opera seria ever composed by the Maestro, and the opera which at once secured to him his fame and his position as the greatest of Italian composers. It was produced originally at the Theatre of the Fenici, in Venice ; and the morning after its production Rossini, to quote the words which Lord Byron, about the same time applied to him self, " awoke and found himself famous." The over tui e, and the air " Di Tanti Palpiti" have long become the common places of music, and although since the secession of Pasta from the stage, the opera has not been produced (save and except once for Madame Viardot, who made such en awful failure that we believe she never attempted to repeat the part), yet the music has always been popular in the drawing , room—every one who is at all fond of, or acquainted with, music, knows the opera almost by heart, and therefore every one is critical, which, perhaps, is one reason why modern performers have so seldom achieved a brilliant success in this opera. The following was the cast last evening:— Tancredi Mdlle. Alboni. Orbazzano ... Signor Polonini. Argirio ... Signor Luigi Mei. Amenaide ... Madame Persiani. The overture (who does not know the overture to Tancredi?) was superbly given by the band, under the direction of Costa, who, on his appearance in the or chestra, was greeted with shouts of applause. Nothing could exceed the precision and accuracy of the orchestra which went" as one instrument. The overture, of course, was encored. The greatest interest had been excited by the announcement that Alboni was to appear in Tancredi, and the highest expectations had been formed. Her reception was most enthusiastic ; but she appeared evidently labouring under severe indisposition. Even in her acknowledgment of her reception there was an appearance of languor. Her voice was as pure, as rich, as flexible, as ever; and she sang the music beautifully, but there was an appearance of physical weakness about her that marred her best efforts. This was evident in her manner of giving her opening recitative, " Oh Patria mia care ed ingrate patria," and the "Tu che accendi," and "I)i tanti palpiti," which immediately follow, were so tamely given that they failed to elicit an encore, a cir cumstance which perhaps has never before occurred in tho representation of this opera. She seemed to revive as the opera proceeded, and gave the duet, " Lasciami t'ascolto" with Madame Persiani, and the rondo, " Perche turbar la calms," as she was wont to sing last season. She was in these pieces herself again, and there can be no doubt but that when she shall have re covered from the illness under which she is evidently suffering, and from the effect of the terror and alarm which she must have experienced during her residence in Paris for the last fortnight, she will be enabled to do full justice to the character, and her personation of Tancredi will add another laurel to her wreath. On this occasion, however, the triumph of the night was certainly Madame Persiani's, whose Amenaide was as fresh, as beautiful, and as in teresting as ever. Her voice seems to have regained its former freshness, and there was none of that defective intonation which has of late years occasionally marred some of her best efforts. Nothing could exceed the brilliancy of her fioriture in the "E tu quando tornerai," and in the " Qucsto ciel che umile adoro," the exquisite preghiera in the second act, her efforts were rewarded with an unanimous encore. In the duet with Alboni, to which we have alluded above, Madame Persiani was beautiful exceedingly: their voices harmonised exquisitely, and, as performed last night, it was, perhaps, the gem of the opera. The Amenaide of Madame Persiani still con tinues to be what it always has been, the best on the stage. The chorusses were very fine, and the mounting of the piece was superb, whether as regards scenery, costumes, or appointments. Signor Polonini was a painstaking and careful Orbazzano, while Signor Luigi Mei, the new Argirio, was somewhat coarse and unpolished. The National Anthem was sung at the conclusion of the opera, the two first verses being given by Alboni and Persiani. A new ballet, entitled Follets, followed. The plot is incomprehensible, but the scenery is good and the music pretty, and Flora Fabbri, who is always a favourite with an English audi ence, dances some of her most beautiful pas, and is well supported by Mademoiselle Leopoldine Brussi, of Vienna, a charm►ng girl and a graceful dancer, a n d therefore it succeeds, and i❑ good sooth it deserves success. The theatre was very well attended in every part. - ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDRN.—Her Majesty's box was occupied last evening by L or d Ch ar l es Wellesley, Mr....and the Honourable Mrs. Anson and Miss Vernon.

H ULL , MARCH 9, TEN P.M—'The steamer Queen has arrived from Hamburgh, which she left on Tuesday morning. There had been repeated attempts to create disturbance, but up to the departure of the steamer the authorities had repressed such efforts, and the town may be said to be quiet, although beneath the surface there leas deep diteatiefution. ANNUAL LICENSING DAY. ST. PANCRAS. (Present—Thomas Reynolds, Esq. — (chairman), Samuel Ware, Esq., B. C. Pierie Seaman, Esq., Peter Dixon, Esq., J. H. Camellor, Esq., and Thos. Beckett, Eaq.) The CHAIRMAN, on granting the applications for a renewal of the licenses, said that the magistrates were much satisfied with the manner the houses had been conducted in tho course of last year, and that they had much pleasure in renewing the licenses, hoping that the same course would be pursued by the applicants during the next year. DERBY SWEEPS. Mr. G. T. Street, landlord of the Adam's Arms, Hamp stead-street, Fitzroy-square (after the licenses were granted), was called in. The CHAIRMAN said that there were notices in his house intimating that he allowed Derby Sweeps, and asked for what purpose he permitted them? Mr. Street stated that they were got up by the persons who came to his house for the purpose of amusing them selves. The CHAIRMAN asked if there was not some prize to be given away, and what was the highest prize ? Mr. Street replied that the highest prize was 201., and remarked that it he did not have some sort of amuse ment for his customers, that they would go to those houses where Derby Sweeps were allowed. The CHAIRMAN inquired at what other houses they were permitted ? Mr. Street referred to some in an adjoining parish. The Clams!As having observed that the Bench had no jurisdiction over houses in another district, remarked, that Derby Sweeps had been declared by the Judges to be illegal, and the Bench had come to the determination not to tolerate them, as, instead of believing that any amusemeut was derived from them, they believed that an inducement was afforded to the poor man to apply his money to gambling. He cautioned him (Mr. Street) not to suffer them at his house. The license was granted. lIOLBORN. In this extensive division there are 385 licensed houses. It comprises the 'wishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, con taining 80; St. George the Martyr, Bloomsbury, 22; Sr. Giles-in-the-Fields, 98; St. George, Bloomsbury, 40; the Liberty of Saffron-hill, Hatton-garden, and Ely-rents, 29; the Liberty of the Rolls, 10; the Liberty of the Duchy, t 8; the parish of St. John, Hampstead, 29; and the parish of Paddington, 37. Two licenses were refused, and eight others were suspended until the adjournment-day, which was fixed for the 21st of March. Upon the victuallers in the parish of Paddington being called in, The CHAIRMAN (Mr. J. Whiskin) complimented them upon the tact of there not being a single complaint throughout the district for the whole year. It was said that in some of the houses what were called " Derby Sweeps" were held; now he (the Chairman) might, upon that occasion, say that it was not the intention of the Bench to take any notice of this circumstance, because of the existence of Derby clubs they had no official knowledge; nevertheless, this they had decided upne, not to grant a renewal of license to any house w het© such "sweeps" were permitted, supposing any complaint arose out of them. They did not consider such " clubs" any part of the business of a victualler; and, if it was shown in any case that their encounigement led to the improper conduct of any house, they (the magistrates) intended to take care that such a cause should no longer be tolerated. Other routine business having been transacted, the Bench adjourned until the 21st inst. RECEPTION OF THE EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE. TO TfIE EDI TOR OF 7'HE SUN. SIR, --Having read in yours of the 29th ult. the letter of Mr. Walter Savage Lander respecting the reception of the ex-Royal Family of France, as also your remark upon it, viz., that it would be unmanly to visit the sins of the unprincipled Sovereign upon the " poor, weak, and despised old Dian," who comes to us as an humble suppliant for a place whereon to rest "his grey dis crowned head," which sentiment really does yeti honour, allow me and many others who coincide in my views to remark that, politically considered, Mr. Lander after all may not be so far out in his calculations; for I contend that the manner in which they have been received in this country is sufficient to call down on our heads the consuming fury of those who by the late events have released themselves from the thraldom which bound them down. I would be the last man to declaim against the landing of the ex-King, still the very act of our Government having ready a steamer to bring him to this country is at once to tell the French nation, that although Louis Philippe for the space of eighteen years has been ungenerous and ungrateful enough to have done all which lay in his power to annoy and put to expense and inconvenience this country; still royalty is so dear to us, that rather than not have them at all, we prefer Londen being made the hotbed for the intrigues and plottings of those whom we, from past experience, must know heartily and sincerely despise us. Depend upon it, Sir, that unless we wish to embroil ourselves in a war with family leaves us the better. It might be considered generous on our part; but is it politic? I am, Sir, your obedient servant , It might s on e r h t e h i •s e o u n n s f i o d r e t r u e n d a g t fortunate n f a e l t e h a e v e l s s ' u e s ne t h h e p b e e o t p t e l e r C. W. City, March 2 , 1848. CLONMEL, MARCH 4.—At twelve o'clock to-clay, John Daly, for the attempted assassination of R. U. Bayly, Esq., and Terence Corboy, for the murder of Gleeson—the two last examples of the Special Commis sion—expiated their offence at the front of Clonmel gaol. The same troops as those which composed the guard at the preceding execution were in attendance, under the command of Sir Charles O'Donnell, commandant of the garrison. The wretched culprits seemed quite recon ciled to their doom. They advanced to the front of the drop with trembling stops, and appeared to be exceed ingly weak. They had scarcely put their feet upon the gallows when the bolt was withdrawn, and having re ceived an immense fall, their struggles were but of brief duration. The number of spectators was not as large as that which attended the other executions, and not the slightest sympathy was expressed for their well-merited and untimely fate. There were a few friends of Daly present with a coffin, and at three o'clock they took away his remains from this town. Corboy was buried in the course of the day beside the other murderers, who sleep within the gloomy precincts of the prison.—Nenagh , Guardian. PRESERVED OYSTERS.—A vessel arrived in the River from Guernsey and Jersey respectively, has brought from the latter island as a portion of her gene ral cargo ten casks of preserved oysters. This is a very singular article of importation, although we think we recollect a previous arrival of the kind from one of our Channel Islands.

The question of Sunday trains was then discussed at great length, but the motion for their discontinuance was lost by a great majority.
