METROPOLITAN LANDLORDS' PRO TECTION OFFICE, 7, Nicholas-lane, City. Established to prevent the constant frauds on landlords, by giving them information in relation to tenants—lnquiry into their charac ters—and affording them assistance en the most moderate terms, in 4.1.1 cases of d ilicnity, at fixed charges.

To remedy this Ovll the above office has been formed. A complete register of every bad tenant in London and its suburbs is in course of corapletion. Any landlord, by paying a small annual subscription, may refer to this register, or have inquiries made by the office free of charge.

This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in;his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grlmstone, Merchant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, limier the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, en receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. 81., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The 11s, size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many vii tues, as thousands can prove, are published In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands. of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the initymal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Qatar ,ct, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by 'Terries, Esq., to Mr. William Grianstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time In canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that /nay be resorted to witil confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness occurring in families, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised <f its importance to every householder in the kingdom.

"Sir,—l have much satishctisn in communicating to you the re sult of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of Health ; and I feel it ix, i ustice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once so salutary ani efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means lont, wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource iii an occasional medicine.

It is the su! -, j , et of con:iderable dissatisfaction, very gene rally expressed, that appintuvnts at large salaries are being made, and that the contract for the e:•ection of the temporary building is actually entered into with a builder, without the concurrence or knowledge of the public, or a recognition of their right to be represented in the matter.

A conversazione, designed to further the interests of this institution, was held on Tuesday evening, at the Clarence Hotel, Aldersgate, almost directly opposite the rooms of the society. The friends of the Princi pality, of bath sexes, assembled in c ons id era bl e numbers. After partaking of tea and coffee, they adjourned to a spacious room, where, at half past seven, the chair was taken by G. C. Lewis, Esq., M.P., and Under-Secretary of Sta'e, who was sup ported by Mr. J. S. Knowles (the dramatist), the Rev. Mr. Jones, and other gentlemen. The CUAIRMAN observed that the institution had originated in a desire to provide a place of intellec tual meeting for persons coming from IVales, who might otherwise be exposed to the temptations of the metropolis; and although its commencement had been unambitious, be trusted it would combine the ener gies of a great number of persons for a common and most beneficial end. The object was to afford in struction by means of the reading of publications, and the holding of weekly meetings for discussion on literary and other interesting topics; and it was hoped that a foundation would thus be laid for establishing a useful library, open to all the members. Such an institution required no rhetoric to recommend it to cordial support. It was obvious that to young men coining from the Principality it must prove exceed. ingly advantageous.—(Hear.) With regard to the cultivation of the Welsh language, without intending to disparage that ancient tongue, he must say, that although it comprised many poems of undoubted anti quity, it was not at the present time what could be pro perly termed a literary language. It was not the lan guage of the current literature of the day —of the laws, or of government. No foreigner acquired it with a view of studying Welsh literature, or of con versing in Welsh. In saying this he was' far from wishing to wound the sensibilities of any Welsh gentleman whose patriotism was bound up with the language of his native country. The Welsh language was, in truth, in the same position as many other lan guages in We British Isles and on the continent of Europe. They all knew that the Gaelic was spoken in the highlands and islands of Scotland and in some parts of Ireland., In Belgium the upper classes for the most part spoke French, while the Flemish tongue was the language of the people in one part of Belgium, and the Walloon in another part. In Malta the language of the Government and of the upper classes of society was Italian, whereas the lower classes spoke an Arabic dialect—a relic of the Saracenic occupa tion of that island. His object in making these allusions was to show that the case of the Welsh people was by no means a solitary one. Wherever such a state of things existed, however, it constituted a barrier between different classes of so ciety, and those who spoke what he would term the non-literary language exclusively were necessarily impeded in their career in life. However great might be their industry or their abilities, they were, to a certain extent, kept in that class o f society in which they were born.—(Hear, hear.) Whilst he could not advocate the extinction of the Welsh lan guage, he must say, with great deference to the assembly, that he considered it a misfortune to any person to have been educated exclusively in Welsh, and to possess no knowledge of the language of the current literature, of the laws, and of government. The diffusion of the English language would conduce to the welfare of those who acquired it, would tend to unite the different classes of society, and to throw down the barriers which separated the rich and the poor, and would give to all, whatever might be their station in life, a fair chance of realising their own best interests. He hoped that whenever natives of Wales who resided in London visited the Principality they would take occasion to urge upon those of their countrymen with whom they came in contact the advantage of cultivating, as far as practicable, the English language, and of assisting in the removal of the barrier to success created by an exclusive ac quaintance with the Welsh.—(Cheers.) The SECRETARY then read a report setting forth the advantages presented by the institution in terms substantially the same as those employed by the Chairman. The Rev. Mr. JONES, incumbent of All Saints, Rotherhithe, moved the adoption of the report in the usual form, and remarked that although the lower classes in Wales were undoubtedly deficient in gene ral literature, they were nearly all excellent divines, and were well acquainted with the Bible. Mr. J. S. KNOWLES hoped that Welshmen would not forget the advice of the Chairman, not to love their language too well —(Hear, hear.) Having travelled in Wales, he had found the pef , ple incon veniently prejudiced in favour of their own language. —(Laughter.) He admitted that the prejudice was a patriotic one. but he could desire in future the English language might always be taught in con junction with the Welsh.—(Elear, hear.) Ile re joiced to see the establishment of that institution. Next in importance to the love of the Creator was the duty of cultivating the faculties which his boundless munificence had bestowed.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and unanimously adopted. Mr. FERGUSON moved the following:—" That this meeting approves of the efforts made by the com mittee of management to extend the usefulness of the society, and fully concurs in recommending that ap • plication be made to Welshmen generally, soliciting their cooperation in carrying out so desirable an object." Mr. EDWARDS, in seconding the resolution, re marked that it was almost impossible to cure the evil pointed out by the Chairman by extinguishing the Welsh language, which would probably last for hundreds of years, and that the most effectual mode of promoting the eventual diffusion of the English tongue, which he admitted to be an object of great importance, was to afford instruction in W e l s h on a more liberal and extended scale, by which means the tone of the Welsh mind would be more assimilated to that of the English mind, and a general desire for improvement would be created. The resolution was then adapted. Other speeches, partly in Welsh, followed, and the occasion proved on the whole a most interesting one. THE DEFALCATION IN THE ROCHDALE SAVINGS' BANK.—It has been discovered that Mr. Haworth, the deceased actuary, did enter the gross amounts of all deposits made in a rough cash book, from which the various accounts were afterwards transferred, some to the regular banking books and others to his own private records. This rough cash-book never went before the auditors, but its discovery will materially assist the com mittee of investigation which is now sitting at the bank, as the presumption is that the pass-books of the deposi tors, which are being daily sent in, will agree with it in every particular. Mr. Tidd Pratt was expected in Rochdale this (Thursday) morning, when ho will give his opinion as to the legal liability of the trustees to make up the deficiency. It is generally believed that they ti r.ot legally liable under the circumstances, since the Act was materially modified in 1834. Ba that as it may, however, it is just to them to state that, as a body, they feel very strongly upon the matter, many having expressed their desire to come forward boldly and meet the deficiency at once. We believe, therefore, that the depositors need be under no apprehension of ultimate loss. We may repeat that the defalcation, as far as can be at present ascertained, is about 37,0001,; while the assets of Mr. Haworth are—a life policy for 3,0001.; the Castleton mill, probably worth 14,0001.; a security bond of 500/.; and cottage property of the anuual value of 150/. SINGULAR ACCIDRNT.—A casualty of a most sin gular and melancholy nature occurred on Thursday evening to one of the crew of the ship Rienzi, bound for Valparaiso. The Rienzi had been lying in the Birken head Docks, taking in a cargo of coal and firebricks. As she became laden she began to draw too much water, and was hauled into the river, where she was moored midway between Liverpool and the Cheshire shore, op posite to the Seacombe slip, to receive the residue of her cargo. About a quarter past six o'clock, on the evening of the day mentioned, the second mate, a fine-built, good-hearted young fellow, about 25 years of age, whose name, we believe, is Do Brasey, accompanied the tug steamer Queen to superintend the operation of putting on board a quantity of stowage and taking in provisions. The night was somewhat rough. De Brasey stood upon the paddle-box of the steamer as she lay alongside the ship, and held a lantern containing a lighted candle. Suddenly the light disappeared, and it was found that the unfortunate young man had fallen from the paddle box into the water, between the ship and the steamer. The machinery of the latter had been thrown out of gear, but the paddle-wheels were in motion, occasioned by the action of the water upon them, as it was blowing fresh and the title flowing strongly at the time. Active mewarres were iturneiliately resorted to by the hands o❑ board to render assistance to their unfortunate shipmate. It. wars found that he had got jammed between the end of the floats of the whorl and the side of the steamer. It was a c,:insiderable time before he could be extricated, and that not until some of the wood work had boon cut away, at which time ho was quite de id. The deceased was dreadfully crushed about the legs and lower part of t h,, trun k._ Liverpool Courier.

(Signed) 11. J. and D. NICOLL, Dec. 1, 1849. REGENT-STREET and CORNIIILL. rrHE NOVELTY most recently introduced by AL. MESSRS. NICOLL is called NICOLL'S EIDER DOWN PALETOT, such novelty consisting in the adaptation of Eider Down to the several purposes of wearing apparel, but more particularly in the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original elegance and utility of which is, however, faithfully preserved. Eiders are found in greatest numbers in Iceland and the Fern. Islands, where their beautiful and delicate down is well known to bt proof against the most severe cold, and even the small quantity which can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, wit serve in the formation of a Paletbt, which, while it has most extra. ordinary lightness, has, nevertheless, more warmth than the flnest and thickest blanket, the great desidera•um for a winter garment being thus aocomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue. Public inspection is invited at MESSRS. NICOLL'S wholesale and retail svarerooms, 14, 11G, and 120, REGENT•STREET, and 22, CORNHILL, Lon ,:on. THE NICOLL is the distinguishing name given to a garment secured by Royal Letters Patent from general imitation. It has all the advantages of Messrs. NICOLL'S original invention, the REGISTERED PALETOT of LLAMA CLOTH. The NICOLLTALETOTS are charged One, Two, Three, and Three-and a-half Guineas, according with the climate or pur pose for which they may be required, 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET ; also 22, CORNHILL facing the Exchaire. THE SEAL FUR PALETOT The costly nature of the material will necessarily conic❑ the use of this garment to a select few ; but he who can afford the expense will pronounce it to be the most gentlemanly, elegant, and luxu lons arti.fle of dress that can possibly be conceived. Messrs. NICOLL will, however, continue to supply the SEAL FUR PALETOT at its present moderate prig—that is to say, so long as the demand does not interfere with the supply ; for it must be borne in mind that the number of Seal Skins in t'ae English market is very limited—at least such as are capable of a laptation to the present purpose, that of being formed into the graceful garment called NICOLL'S PALETOT. Registered 6 and 7 Vic.. cap, 65. Au early inspection and purchase would, therefore, be desirable. H., J., and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22. CORN ti ILL, LONDON. HRISTMAS.—One of the new patented inven- J tions called NICOLL'S EIDER DOWN PALETOT will doubtless form a most acceptable gift at the approaching season of festivity, when it is somewhat difficult to select the best token of friendship or affection. The lightness and warmth of this garment will render it highly serviceable for covering an evening costume without causing the least disarrangement; and from the peculiarity of the formation of the whole it precludes the necessity for any mea surement being taken, as merely some slight description of height or appearance will mice to enable the patentees to supply an EIDER DOWN PALETOT, at the cost of SIX GUINEAS, and which may fairly be described as one of the best preservatives of health ever yet introduced to the public. 11., J., and D.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, .he Company being prohibited, by the t4th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from die outing a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated noon Carlisle mortality, and ere as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM--By this plan only one-half of the premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance sciay be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PA RTN E R ‘: HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. Oa the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 36 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of ihe assured life.

SIR,- - You will oblige me much (in irserting this communication) by correcting an error in your report of the trial of Corby at the Central Criminal Court. Your account of the proceedings before the police magistrate gives my name correctly as the surgical witness, Joseph Ashbury Smith. To-day I am denominated Mr. Joseph Asbury, my surname Smith being omitted—a discrepancy which may he injurious. I am the more disposed to request this correction, inasmuch as my name is seldom given correctly, from no fault of mine, as my enunciation is always sufficiently loud and distinct.

RETTIE, C.E.—On Wednesday evening Mr. Bettie delivered a popular lecture on Marino Night Signals, in the Mechanics' list! which was filled by a respßctable auditory. The platform was enlivened by a number of Mr. nettle's lights, in white, red, and green, the most interesting of which was the " collision light," which, by a very simple mechanical arrangement, can Lys made to give four distinct signals. Mr. Rettie's lecture was attentively listened to and frequently ap plauded. Mr. Rettie gave another lecture on Saturday evening, and it is but justice to him to state that nothing but a heavy pressure of railway matter of temporary interest prevents us from noticing both lec tures at length. Suffice it in the meantime to say that the impression produced was such as must serve to encourage Mr. Rettio i❑ his career of humane and scientific labours, and believe that the time is not far distant—albeit, it has been long in coming —when his nstive city will do him full justice, and will help him to realise the reward which his indefatigable labours so well entitle him to expect.—North of ..S'cotland Gazette, Dee. 4. THE NEW BANKRUPTCY ACT--IMPORTANT DE.• CISION.—In another column will be found a most im portant decision relative to the construction of certain sections of the New Bankruptcy Act for Ireland, which received the sanction of the J►tdges of the Queen's Bench in chamber, on Saturday last. It is now settled, by the authority of the Court, that any person com mitted to prison under the provisions of the Act, is entitled to his discharge so soon a; he shall be adjudged bankrupt, without waiting for any order to be made by the Commissioner. The point was first raised by that eminent solicitor, Mr. Thomas Geoghegan, who relied on the sth section in support of his view, and it appears he was perfectly right.— Dublin Evening Packet. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.—A meeting of the shareholders in this com pany was held at Manchester on Tuesday, at which about fifty gentlemen were present. Mr. W. P.

The payment of a small per ceutage upon the amount of stock held by each !hare hold. r was suggested, in order ►o defray the expenses of the committee; and the proceedings then terieinated. ACCIDENT ON THE EASTFIIN UNION RAILWAY. A frightful at:eident recurred tut Tuesday morning List, at Thuitten, on the Dereharn braneh of this ntilwqy, to Mr. Crowe, of St. Margaret's, Norwich, eoll-rnerch9nt. Mr. Crown had gone down to 'rhuxton to superintend the unloading of tome coals which he had sold, cud was standing on the lino beside the trucks, when the 9 40 Fakcnham train came within sight. Mr. Crowe seemed quite unconscious of its approach, until Mr. Glasspool, the station-master, shouted to him to hasten away from the spot, as the train was coming. The un fortunate man at once quitted his former position, but to the surprise of Mr. Glasspool he moved deliberately along the line in the very direction in which the train was approaching, and before any assistance could be rendered the engine struck him, and ho was instantly An inquest was held on the lat.dy the same evening, and a verdict of " Accidental death" returned. —/Voi w'ch Express. The Hon. Mr. Kinnaird had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday, at the Jima-office, _O.NDON WEDNESDAY CONCER7'S. A,he seventh took place last night, at Exeter-hall, ¶fore a crowded audience. Herr Ernst, whose ying is the better liked the oftener it is heard, is the chief attraction of the programmes, and made iourth appearance on this occasion. The sensation .tcd by Herr Ernst last night even surpassed that of any previous occasion. His solo piece was the famous Air Yarit of Mayseder, known to all practised violinists, but in the hands of Ernst a thoroughly original performance. Grace of expression, vigour of style, and dexterity of execution, were never more happily mingled. The theme and each of the variations were followed by a burst of genuine applause. But the wonder of the performance was in the cadenza, composed by Herr Ernst himself, a feat of prodigious difficulty, concluding with a series of arpeggios unparalleled in brilliancy. The hall rang with the cheers that followed this extraordinary display, and Ernst was recalled with one voice ; and being, it may be presumed, an enemy to the encore system, he merely returned to the orchestra and bowed. The desire of the audience was, however, this time too unanimous and genuine to be resisted, and in obedience to continued acclamations, the violinist re-appeared, with his instrument, and played seine of the popular variations of the " Carnaval de Venise." The moment the theme was heard the manifestations of satisfaction were renewed, and Ernst was compelled to wait until the applause sub siding gave him a chance of being heard. A very interesting feature in the programme was the cele brated Septuor in E flat of Beethoven, played by Ernst (violin), Hill (viola), W. L. Phillips (violon cello), Rowland (double-bass), Maycock (clarionet), Jarret (horn), and Baumann (bassoon). The whole of this fine work, with the exception of one of the slow movements and one of the minuets (there are two of each), was given, and the performance occupied about thirty-five minutes. It is gratifying to state that the Septuor was completely successful, and received both the attention and applause that were its due. Equally happy were Cherubini's over ture to the Deux JourOes (a dramatic chef d'ceuvre that has been unaccountably overlooked by our great Italian theatres, where the productions of the French lyric stage have been lately in such favour) and Sterndale Bennett's romantic and beautiful concert overture, The Wood Nymphs, both of which were admirably played by the band, under the direction of Herr Anschuez, and both of which were liberally ap plauded. The selection was from Mozart's Figaro. Some of the gems of that masterpiece were given, and encores were allotted to the duet " Sul' aria," and the bass air "Non piu andrai," the former exceed ingly well sung by Mrs. A. Newton and Miss Eyles, the latter rendered with great spirit and effect by Herr Formes. The miscellaneous portion of the vocal programme was agreeably varied. by two concerted pieces, performed on the sax-horns by the talented Distin family, who were carefully accompanied on the piano by Mr. Willy, jun. Miss Poole gave some popular ballads in her best style, and intro duced a pleasing and well written song by "Angelina," a young composer of promising talent, called " My bright Savoy," which was favourably received. The words of this song, by Mr. Shirley Brooks, have the advantage of being intelligible, as well as poetical, which is not: frequently to be noted in the verse makers who at present wield their pens in the service of music. The Misses Cole sang Mendelssohn's lovely chamber duet, "I would that my love," with unexceptionable taste, and were deservedly applauded. Mrs. Newton deserves praise for the brilliant manner in which she executed a clever aria, to Italian words, the composition of Mr. Ribes, who himself performed an obligato part for the flute, which added materially to the effect. Sterndale Bennett's charming song, " May Dew," sung with feeling by Miss Eyles ; and J. L. Hatton's sparkling serenade, " The silver moon," in which Mr. Lockey (well accompanied on the piano by Mr. Land) obtained an encore really well merited, completed the noticeable points in decidedly one of the best programmes Mr. Stammers has ever given to the public. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, WEDNESDAY. The inclemency of the weather prevented her Ma jesty and his Royal Highness taking their usual morning walk.

A GENTLFIIAN SIIOT.—A melancholy and fatal accident has taken place in Pembroke place. The victim is Mr. Scuddamore, a surgeon, residing at Prescot. Th e particulars, so far se we could hastily gather, are that the unfortunate gentleman, accompanied by Mr. William Roscoe, a friend, were leaving town in a gig about nine o'clock. On reaching Pembroke-place, Mr. Roscoe, we understand, made some remark in regard to a pair of pistols which had been brought for security, when Mr. Scuddamore put his hand into his pocket with the view of showing him one. Whilst in the act the pistol unfor tun-Itely went off, and the cc ntents entered Mr. Scudda more's groin. The report, of course, occasioned great alarm in the neighbourhood. The gig was immediately pulled up, and Mr. Kay, surgeon, was promptly in at tendance, but death almost immediately ensued. Ihe body of the ill-fated gentleman was conveyed to the deaf-house at the infirmary, where it at preilent lies.— Liv rpeol Courier. EXTENSION or LONDON.-0 wing primarily to the establishment of omnibuses, London has increased in the present age more horizontally than vertically in pro portion to former times (when the great mansions were deserted to be occupied in floors by the interior orders), causing a proportionally excessive increase in sewerage, gas pipes, water pipes, and above all, instead of concen trating the smoke at the height of 40 feet above the pavement, spreading it out at the height of 20 to 30 fest. Better bad it been it large houses, on a more commodious plan than the model St. Pancras one, had been erected in the suburbs (e. g. Islington), leaving the City-road bordered by fields as before. And, indeed, even now, much might be done by throwing the front railings of front gardens back to the house fronts, in long avenues (c. g. City-road, Kennington-road, &c.), planting two or three rows of trees on this space between the pavement and the houses, which forms a most agreeable prome nade. Unluckily, the demand for shops induces land lords to build over these foregardens. Quiet, straight streets (e. g. Gower-street) parallel to a great thorough fare might be here and there planted with trees, to relieve tho monot.•nous view of the houses. It would be a great improvement if all;the streets nerd numbered as in Patio, or as our It-gent-street, viz., the odd numbers on the one side, and the even on the other, which might Iya many a useless crossing in muddy weather. Suburban row's, wh , n completed, ought to be numbered con secutively, leaving it to tLe fancy of the individual house-owner to call his house by any fanciful name...— Budder A BLUNDER.—Two young gentlemen met, a few evenings ago, at the house of an acquaintance, soma young ladies, for one of whom both gentlemen en tertained tender feelings. In a spirit of frolic one of the young ladies blew out the lamp, and our two friends, thinking it a favourable moment to make known the state of their feelings to the fair object of their regard, moved seats at the tame instant, and placed themselves (as they supposed) by the lady's side ; but she bad also moved, and the gentlemen were in reality next each other. As our friends could not whisper without betraying whereabouts , they both gently took, as they thought, the soft little. hand of the el.urmer, and when, after atsbilo they ventured to give a tender pressure, each Yr fti enraptured to find it rt turned with an unmis takeable: t - que(z ,. % It may be well imagined that the moments ilew rapidly in this silent interchange of metual affection.
