F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec H E VESTA PATENT STOVE, 70s. plain. That a Madeira climate in England may be produced by the V ESrl A STOVE, plants of the most tender kind requiring warmth l ye proved; in sick rooms it has been found invalu able, producing one even degree of temperature throughout the day and night. The Vesta Stove has no doers, and as there is not any fire in contact with the outer case, warmth is ob tained without any of the unpleasant effects complained of in the use of others. The fire can be kept alight the whole season, and the part containing the fire is not open during the time it is replenished with fuel. The fuel passes from the Hod into the Stove without being seen, preventing entirely any escape of the noxious vapours, and that annoyance from dust which, in feeding other stoves, arises from Vie fuel being removed from the Hod into the Stove, or what is worse, into a funnel to convey it into the stove. The ashes are removed without causing any dirt or dust ; no raking out with portable rakers, or the hands, being necessary ; Lnd during their removal from the interior of the Stove they are not visible. The cost for fuel (cinders, coke, or Welch coal) will be about twopence for twenty-four hours, during which time the stove will not require attention. . The VESTA STOVES are perfectly free from all liability Iv explosions and such unpleasant consequences as have been met with in the use of Arnott's. A variety of sizes and patterns are made with ascending and descending flues, in iron and earthenware, suitable for warming apartments of every descrip tion, Churches, Ships' Cabins, &c. The Stoves may be seen in use at RIPPONand BURTON'S Warehouses, Wells-street, Oxford-street. A List of Prices and a number of references and testimonials will be sent in answer to a post-paid application. FOGS AND DA MP AIR.

Surgical assistance was procured, but upon examination it was found that the unfortu nate lady had been dead for some hours, her skull having been. completely beaten in in th ree pl aces b y some blunt weapon. Th right temple and the upper part of the forehead were care pletely beaten in. The left temple was cut open, and thee.: were four other wounds upon the lace. On an examination cf. the wounds, Mr. Bell, surgeon, pronounced them to bay. been inflicted by some blunt instrument, probably a hammer, such as plasterers we when lathing. There was a large quan tity of blood about the room, the walls, and several articles of furniture, which made it evident that the old lady mos' ; have been sitting in her arm-chair by the flre,itte when sh p received the first blow, as the front which she wore lay r 0. the foot of it saturated an ith blood. There was also a pool of blood near the chair, arid the wall bv hs side is FL - tinkled wi blood to a considerable height. Upon receiving ;his blo r, which must hate so far stunned her as to prevent her scream: 4e: (or she would have been heard bv the next-doer neighbour), apparent shestruggled with t 110111'er:14er, and fell against an eaor chair, at the other side of the fire-place, which is also sittosc;'T with blood. It is supposed that while there another drieafifizi blow was given to her, the iron coal-ritkite and grate ',heir : : sprinkled with blood ; the un`ortunate woman must have salad still further struggles for her life, as her body was fumed a. some distance from both these chairs, with her shoes her, which she bad lost during the murderous attack. Tire objects of the murderer, whoever be may be, are at present completely unknown, as no robbery has taken place, nor is it ascertained, with any certainty, that a single article is missine from the house. The fact of the cupboard containin g the plate being open without an article being stolen therefrom, and a silver spoon being upon the dresser within the reach of tit, murderer, shows that plunder could not have been the 'object. From inquiries which were made immediately on the disck very of the muider, it was found that a youth, Charles Rudg-c. who occasionally worked for and had been met by Mr. Sheddei in the morning, had been at the house that day, as he was seer, by some of the neighbours, at about twelve o clock, with Mrs. Shedden, in the garden, shaking a carpet; he was also seen strewing ashes on the garden path : and at a little before three o'clock in the afternoon he was met returning to Bristol by Ce-n lads, one earned Edward Shakspeare. These eireuiestance: induced the police to apprehend him, which they did in at - his father's house on Kingsdown, at about twelve at nigh; It is said that, when apprehended, he said he knew what was about; it was about a woman who was killed at Ilor field. It is said also that there are one or two stains of blood upon his trousers and boots, but as I have not exa mined them, lam uncertain as to this fact also. Iminteli ate!). upon his apprehension th e prisoner was•conveyed to the house and shown the dead body ; lie hurst into tears, and protesting his innocence, exclaimed, " Oh, Mr. Sht , !(len, do you think I would go to kill Mrs. Shedden ?" The prisons-: was again this morning conveyed to the house, but nothing n , importance was elicited. The circumstances under which prisoner Budge was apprehended were this afternoon deposed to, before Mr. 11. W. Newman, one of the Magistrates for ti: county of Gloucester, who ordered the prisoner to he detaine. in the Lawford's-gate prison until the Coroner's inquest. It is evident that the murder must have been comeeitted before three o'clock:in the afternoon, as the milkman called the house at about that time, but could not get admlitio, e No weapon with which the offence could have been peepe treed has yet beets found, although the garden has been searched, and the neighbouring ponds, &c., dra gge d. A n active search is, however, being made by the police. in the neighbourhood with a view to the discovery of the weapon. It was at first supposed that the murder might have been com mitted with the iron coal-riddle, but there is no b!e..d whatever upon the inside corners or edges of it, which renders it impos sible that that could have been the instruthent. Two suspicious characters, ballad vendors, were soon lurieheee about the neighbourhood yesterday ; and it is a rather singu'ese circumstance that on Saturday evening a man (not the pr soner) was seen grinding a lathing-hammer, the very descris tion of weapon with which the surgeon thinks the murder we.. committed, at a grindstone on the roadside, by a blacksmith'. shop, within a few hundred y ar d s o f Mr. ghedden's residence. This circumstance would not have been at all remarkable ha not the man been turning the grindstone himself, and evidently using it by stealth. LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1841. BRITISH INSTITUTION.

A Street Guide, on a somewhat novel plan, has been added—the houses running, as usual, in the order Of their numbers, and the off-branching streets being noted; w hich furnishes the seeker with a direct guid e t o th e l oca liti e s of particular houses.

Reforms are also observable in the other di visions of the book, which are much more. complete than in former years."—Examiner, Jan. 10. " What the work just named' supplies to the fashionable, this does to the general world of London; as, instead of being limited, as was formerly the case, to gentry or to traders, it in cludes both, and is, therefore, really a ' Street Directory.' The intersection of the principal streets by others is pointed out—a new and good idea."—Globe, Dec. 22. " This edition does great credit to the skill and industry of the compiler. By - superior arrangements and increased in formation, all its predecessors and competitors are thrown into the shade; all other Metropolitan Directories we're limited to Gentry or to Traders— this includes both ; and, by showing the intersection of the principal streets by others, great fmilitv is afforded in finding the situation of any street orscourt in length ened thoroughfares, and may, on this account, be considered as in some measure superseding the necessity of referring to a map. We cannot afford space to enumerate the many other advantages which the present edition of the Post Office Di rectory possesses ; but we may mention that the full Christian names of parties are given, instead of initials; all the Counsel and Attorneys of the Metropolis are inserted, and not only the town residences, but the country seats of Peers and Members of Parliament; and, from the official situation held by the compiler in the Post-office, he has been enabled to avail him self of all the facilities which his appointment affords, to give the most correct and latest information. "—Weekly Dispatch, Jan. 10. " We noticed some proof sheets of this work a few weeks since, with new improvements. It is now published complete, and comprises, among other information, a Street Directory, a Commercial Directory, a Directory for Law, Trades, and the Court (including the nobility, gentry, and others not engaged in trade. or commerce), for Members of Parliament, the City (including the public functionaries, Common Councilmen, &c. ); and gives, as might be expected, the most ample infor mation relative to the Poet-Office. It cannot be necessary to state in detail,' says the compiler, ' all the improvements effected in the present edition. Every division of the book, and every page, contains much that cannot be found in any other book for the year 1841. Every particle of the immense amount of information contained in the following pages has been collected durin'jthe latter part of the month of November, and very much even in the present month. In the City Directory the list of Common Council is that of the members elected on the 21st of the present month. In any other Directory for 1841, the list published will, on examination, be found to be the list of those elected on December 21st, 1839, for the year ceding on the 21st of December, 1840. And so it is in every other division of the book. Did space admit, thousands of instances could be adduced in which the information is furnished a year earlier than in any other Annual Work.' We have looked over this Directory with some care ; and, as far as we can judge, it appears to be the most copious and correct work of .the kind hitherto published. Altogether, we can safely recom mend it as a Directory especially adapted for all classes, and country as well as town."—San, Jan. 8. " This handsome volume reflects the highest credit on the enterprise and activity of the Proprietors. Each year some improvement is effected which tends to add considerably to its usefulness and value. In addition to its former contents, we have this year a Directory for the Court, and another for each street, so that it may now be considered as complete and as serviceable fur reference as it is possible such a work can be rendered. It has another recommendation, in having been cor rected up to the last week in the past year—an instance of des= patch almost unprecedented, and only to have been performed by the excellence of the arrangements, and the rapidity with which copies were thrown off by the Proprietor's steam-presses. The Work is, in every respect, superior to any " Directory" ever yet issued in the metropolis, and is indispensable to every person engaged in trade in London or its vicinity-.—Britannia, Jan. 16. " The work contains ten distinct Directories ; the first of which, the Street Directory, may be taken as a fair sample of the entire book, and of its immerge superiority over all others. Previous ' Street Guides' have excluded the nobility and gen try or the tradespeople—curious Street Guides ! This includes all, and is, therefore, a ' Street Directory'—the only one yet in existence—of the Metropolis; it, besides, exhibits the inter section of the streets by each other—valuable information in long thoroughfares. Then follows the Commercial Direc tory.' Next the Trades Directory'—a most elaborate com pilation, occupy ing 248 pages of small print, in treble columns. The Court Directory' appears much the same as other works on the subject, unless that it is, perhaps, fuller. The Parlia mentary Directory' gives the idea of having been compiled expressly with the view of distancing competition. The' City Directory' comes next, and is followed by'the Post Office in formation, so given that any one requiring accurate and precise information on the subject must refer to it. Tho Con veyance Directory' in which is the railway matter, some of le - I;ich is as recent as any that has yet appeared in our columns. 'fly) Banking Directory' :concludes a volume which may be fairly considered a model of compilation, and is a high credit to the establishment from which it emanates. We find one feult with this work—its title—which is, indeed, no index to its voluminous contents, but rather gives an idea of a common London Directory, than which nothing can be more different. The Pest-office Directory. in its Parliamentary in formation, in that relating to Government Offices, Ambassa dors and Consuls in the Country Towns, in its Provincial News paper table, in its Post -office Regulations, Routes of Mails, Railway Mails, and Cross-road Mails, Railway and Steam packet intelligence, and the Conveyance Directory generally, in its Banking Intelligence, and copious details on the subject of Fire and Life Assurance, contains information nearly as de sirable to Provincial as to Metropolitan residents, and should certainly bear a title more indicative of its contents than that of Post-office London Directory for 1841.—Railway Magazine, Jan. 16 This is a most comprehensive and extremely useful volume, and the best of its kind that has yet been published. It con tains not only the addresses of the merchants and traders throughout the metropolis, but those also of.the resident house holders unconnected with trade or commerce, and is corrected up to the latest possible date, consistent with its publication at the opening of the year. Many variations from the plans of previous Street Guides have been adopted ; one of which, and a most useul one, is the strictly alphabetical arrangement of the names of persons having offices in one house, which we have ourselves tested, and found quite accurate. The method of showing where streets are intersected by others has also been adopted, and the result adds much to the clearness and perspicuity of arrangement of the work. In conclusion we may observe, that the exertions which have been made to render this Directory worthy of its circulation—upwards of nine thou sand in the course of the present year—deserve the support it has met with, and we can safely recommend It to the public.”— Morning Herald, Jan. 12. This useful and laborious work is now before us ; it is a Street, Commercial, Trade, Law, Parliamentary, Court, City, Banking, and Conveyance Directory. This Directory differs from its precursors, inasmuch as Gentry as well as Traders are included. The Marquis of Waterford's domicile is set down as plainly as John Smith's, the tinman's. The information under the head of " Post Office" is of great utility, including the latest regulations; the postage of letters to and from France, Central Germany, Sardinia, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, &c., is accurately stated. The Conveyance Directory gives accurate information as to Railways, Coaches, Waggons, Vessels, &c. Respecting town and country banking-houses, Assurance offices, BA Public Companies, there is full and valuable in formation. The arrangement of the Peerage is excellent. In the Parliamentary list the recent changes are carefully noted. The liit of the Law and Public Offices, with the hours of busi ness at each, is, we think, a novel feature. 'I he list of places for registration of births,deaths, and marriages; of law, parlia mentary,riter are, an obviously, dpat of hight agents;ouftility. i translatorsnto a and l ikeshort-hand orthe w Post Office Directory errors will creep ; but, as far'as :we have been enabled to glance through it, they appear to be few, and we may safely pronounce the present production as far surpass ing anything of the sort that has hitherto been attempted.— Sunday Times, Jan. 17.

Viardot Garoia and Miss Kemble are to appear this season as the lead:ng singers at the Queen's theatre in Londcn, and that La Grid is not engaged. If the attempt be made, it will lead to a Tamburini riot, like that of last season, but even of a more violent character. The English aristocracy pay too I.igh for their opera to submit to have their prima donna tak, n from them. The Quotodienne contains the follow ing,—" An intrigue of Camaraderie is talked of, which which would deprive the London Opera of Madame Grisi in the approaching season. We do not think that M. La porte can have mistaken his interest so far as to deprive himself of the co-operation of talents such as those of Ma dame Grid, who enjoys so much favour with English high society."—Galipiani. BATH THEATRICALS. (From a Corte spondent.)....The attraction last week was Romeo and Juliet, which was performed on Wednesday. Mr. Kean played Romeo with feeling, and with some brilliant reao - with passion, however, somewhat exuberant at times. Miss Lacey, as Juliet, was all that could be de sired ; she played it exceedingly well, and looked it well. Mr. ller.ry Hull, as Meicutio, was full of life and bril liancy, without any excess; never exceeding his author, nor expressing his sense too tamely. His " Queen Mab" excited enthusiastic applause. His acting after the fatal wound was excellent; the ruling passion was strong in death. He was Mcrcutio to the last ; a character truly conceived, and well sustained throughout.

MISS STRICKLAND'S " LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND."—It is gratifying to perceive that Miss Strickland's charming work has been so appreciated by the public, that the large impression of the first three volumes has been sold, before the fourth volume could be prepared for the press. A new and revised edition is now in course of being issued, of which the first volume now lies before us, its value enhanced by several important ad ditions. A more delightful performance has not been sub mitted to our notice for many a day, seeing that it lays open the public and private lives of personages exalted and illustrious, and of whom, except inasmuch as they are politically concerned, the great historians have said but little. Their sex adds greatly to the interest and piquancy of the narrative of anecdote, and it i 3 the more attractive from the circumstance that the British sceptre is at present swayed by a female sovereign. A better pre sent for a lady than Miss Strickland's " Lives of the Queen's of England," cannot be conceived. PETER PRIGGINS, TIIE COLLEGE SCOUT, EDITED ev THEODORE HOOK, ESQ., with Illustrations by Phiz.—lf our readers recollect a book which made no listle noise in its day, called " Life in London," they may, by changing the scene in their imagination from Loudon to Oxford, and calling the work before us, for the nonce, " Life in Oxford," gain a very sufficing notion of its general character. In a word, it shows forth, and shows up, every species of "life" which comes now-a. days within the meaning of that comprehensive term. There is no species of " sport," no kind of fashionable folly or license, no description of drollery, no phrase of blat kguardism which wicked wits can invent, and booby Lear& asut Honourables can practise at cur seats of learn ing, that does tot fi nd its appropriate d eser i pt i on an d illustration in these h ighly amusing pages. The College Scout, who is here introduced to us under the auspices of our great humourist, Mr. Theodore Hook, is the most knowing hand of his knowing tribe ; and what ever he knows, he knows how to tell in a lively and striking manner. The book cannot fail to be popular. Natal and Military Gazette.

FRINCE. CONTINUATION OF THE SITTINGS OF MONDAY. M. Guizot.—The Chamber is convinced of the nem: city of the present measure, but dreads the results. Ar. not seeing clearly its consequence, it dreads seeing the fee tification become an instrument in the bands of anotie • kind of policy, a turbulent and warlike one, instead of peaceful policy, friendly to civilisation and tranquillity. This is the cause of the perplexity of the Chamber. would be inexcusable to deceive the country on so grave matter. We would not have accepted this measure as heritage of the last Cab'net, if it were fraught with sect dangers. The measure, I repeat, is a guarantee of peac:. It was not we alone, it was Europe, which, since leee had adopted defensive policy, and conducted heel; cc cording to this view:, Everywhere, in Germany especially all the towns of the frontier wore fortified, for defence, and against invasion, and even at this moment, in the tries, of the excitement of late events, what idea pre vails in the Gerraanic Confederation ? Nothing but s system of defence. The fortifications of Paris will hay. the effect of lessening the hopes of bestile armies, Enid oe tranquillizing the population of France. Wars of inv.:- sion have beer, talked of, but in the present day wars of invasion are wars of revolution. If the object of this mei. sure be really attained, if Paris be truly fortified, you ei have placed the revolution of July hors de cause in Humps and you will have placed Europe hors d'etat to renew' tee great coalitions of 1814 and 1815. Do you remerels • what wits said then ? It was said that it was L..., against France, but against its Government that ene was carried on, and that by removing the Govern malt you would remove the danger,—(Sensation.

M. Garnier Pages raid he could not allow the last ex. pressions of the Minister to go without reply. I declie from my place that I belong to one of the extreme parti: which M. Guizot combated. In my opinion, honest ms are those who say boldly what they think, whether in t National Guard, the Chamber, or the elections; what brouillons, as M. Guizot called the men of extreme pr. tics, were in reality those who make a great noise is a;. - position, and say precisely the contrary of this noise whe they get into office. Do not, therefore, invite extren parties to a conflict. You have accomplished the missic which you undertook from the moment of the dircussic 74 on the address. You have attempted to tranquillize E: rope, but you have net tranquillized the Chamber. I de as _ think Europe stood in need of tranquillizing. I know net that it was not against Europe that-this Bill was presente Reasons could never be wanting to so clear a person as ef. Tbicrs. 11i Carnet declared that his father was against the fortification of Paris. But let M. Thiers alone, and he will soon find in Carnet's papers some passages in favour of them. Ho maintained that the fortifications of Pare - , instead of keep* the enemy at a distance from the ce. pita!, would attract him ; it was to be feared that in ca: , of a reverse the army would fly to Paris;not to defend in but to be protected by it. The opinions of Napoleon ht‘. , :r I been cited on the fortifications of Paris. Would you is. made acquainted with that opinion of which the praote: itself is worthy of being pointed out to you ? I v not take i; from an authentic writing, bet from one of tee bulletins of the grand army, from a bulletin of the 25a May, 1809. You will see the opinion of Napoleon, est great cities, on respite' cities fortified. Ile is speaking the siege of the oi. of Vienna, and you will see be tres. the project of fortifying a large city as the most fokili enterprise that could be undertaken. This is what says on the subject, in a bulletin which I find lit tee Moniteur The report was general in the country they - . all the entrenchments which surrounded the capital wene fortified. Redoubts had been constructed. The People without occupation, even the turbulent, were for defence. The emperor could hardly believe that they could have determined on so foolish an enterprise. The Archduke Maximilian bad opened registers to enter the names ef those who wished to defend the city. Vienna contain: three hundred thousand inhabitants. There were thine names inscribed. At nine o'clock in the evening, twenty pieces of artill e ry, comman d e d b y General Bertram;, commenced the bombardment ; 1,800 shells were thrown. and the city was soon in flames. It is impossible, without being an actual witness of it, to conceive the disorder which took place." This then is what I find in tee 31oniteur, in the most strikin g bulletin of the f; and Army. I would not, therefore, that the French should be made to slumber in a deceptive security. T siege of Genoa has been spoken of ; it has been said that that period the city contained 150,000 inhabitants ; that it a mistake. There were only 75,000 souls in the place. Bet to defend by regular fortifications a city containing a it:elfin . of inhabitants is what Napoleon would call the rr.cht foolish of enterprises. This, Gentlemen, was what Napo leon said in me. (M. Gamier Pages, in finishing the reading of the bulletin, dwelt upon the expressions which so energetically stigmatised the conduct of a Government barbarous enough to deliver to the horrors of a siege a m.pital, the centre ef the riches and the civilisauna of the country.) We have heard, continued M. G , rnier Pages, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, point out, with greet cl.lirness, the expense which the fortifications of Par; would cause ; he has told you that the planrof the Ministe of Fin ,, hoe would be ample for the purpose; but the Mini. ter t f Finance did cot, however, reply in the affirmethe or my own put, I know that there is not money eriosi,,, PUBLICATIONS.

The Directory contains a Street Directory, in which the streets are alphabetically arranged; a Commercial Di rectory, in which an immensity of names is alphabetically ar ranged, without respect to trades and professions, though the trades and professions of the different _persons are respectively subjoined to the names ; a Trades' Directory, in which the trades are alphabetically arranged, and under each head of trade the names of the tradesmen set forth; a Law Directory. Court Directory, Parliamentary and Banking Directories ; and, in a word, so great a mass of useful information set forth with such good judgment and arrangement, that it is almost impos sible for the most ignorant and inexpert not to find out, in one part or other of the volume, that of which he is in search. The book possesses what is in all books a desideratum, but in a book of this kind, a sine qua non—that is, an arrangement which occasions no confusion, and which is so simple that anybody can comprehend it.
