co, 1. 11,5 ON the STATE and PROSPECTS of the LABOURING CLASSES. January, 1849. The Committee of the SOCIETY for the IMPROVEMENT of the C ONDITION of the LABOURING CLASSES feel unwilling to allow the opening of a new year, under such unpara'leted circumstances as the present, to pass over without offering, to their subscribers, and the gentry, clergy, and middle clasics of England generally, a few Words of congratulation and of caution. The grounds of congratulation will be obvious to every one —that a Year of co,vul s i o ns to E u r o p e genera lly s h ou ld h ave e l a p se d i n _ „land almost without any serious alarm, and that this general t ranquillity should have been preserved during the pressure of muck t•tt.nt of employment. poverty, and privation, may well excite a feel ing of gratitude, and lead us to prize more deeply those institutions Which have thus " weathered the storm ;" and, above all, that spirit of rel i gion, which, even partially and imperfectly diffused as it is, has Yet shown itself, though in weaknesr, the best controller of na tional perturbations. Lot, besides these general grounds of thankfulness, the Committee have much cause to congratulate their subscribers on the progress 1101 5 in their own more immediate work in the course of the past Year. Not only has the gracious patronage of her Majesty and her ' 4 °3'4l Consort encouraged and enabled them to commence a new Rork of magnitude and importance—the M o d e l Lod g ing-house for atnilies, which will shortly, it is hoped, rise from the ground in the i mmediate vicinity of St. Giles's—but the example already set be "a, to be extensively followed. Within the last few months the Com atittee have had the pleasure of witnessing efforts of a kindred lia !nre, and most of them coafessedly in imitation of those carried on .7 this Society, made or p:atined in several populous and important Place s , In the great parish of St. Anne, Soho, the rector cad a parochial Co mmittee have completed and opened a large lodging-hoes,-, in W hiCh excellent accommodation is provided for as many as 136 per- Sons of the industrious classez. Adjoining to this, in St. James's, Westminster, the rec'er, with a Parochial committee, is employed on a similar undertaking. At Edinburgh and Glasgow model lodging-houses have bcen opened and further efforts in the same direction are contemplated. In the city of Bath a similar work has ecently been undertaken by the clergy and a local committee, and there can be no doubt of its 'Pe idY and complete accomplishment. At Brighton, a lodging-house for the worklag-classes is planned, _, an d measures for its establishment have been taken by several of the clergy, alt Macclesfield the same object is engaging the attention of the Inhabitants, and a measure of this kind is now in progress. Several naher Movements of the same description, in other toe us, are in va ntages of maturity. /for ought we to forget—though an entirely independent move ment — the recent opening of the aletropolitan Buildings, near Old t. * Pancras Church, in which excellent lodgings are provided for as many as 110 families of the industrious classes. Observing all these efforts of benevolence, commencing nearly at tw e same time, the Committee feel that there is abundant ground for sca lgratulation; and that it is hardly too much to hope that at no very distant day the wants and comforts o f th e t own l a b ou re r s ugaent England may be generally, or even universally, regarded With Interest. Turning to the agricultural districts, the Committee feel that the O nly 'way in which these can be effectually attended to, is by tie active cooperation of the landed proprietors, the clergy, and :sentry, in the important work of raising from ignorance, destitution, and discontent, a large proportion of the labourers of Great Britain, With this view, the Committee are happy to be able to state, tha st aving prepared plans and speci 'cation"; for several kinds of agri cultural cottages, they have receivei, since the month of June last, no tower than 184 applications for copies of them, the greater part of Which applications have been made by gentlemen who avowed their linen ion of immediately beginning to raise, in their respective heighbourhoods, better d .ceilings for the agricultural poor t: en those Which have hi herto teen so common In our villages. The Com snittea have also issu,d a plan for a Village Lodging-house, adapta I for unmarried agricultural labourers, quarrymen, and miners, and they have the sati fact on of knowing that, in v•.riatii places. es, eel ally at Brimpto• ‘-park, near Huntingdon, and at Ttna t is sort of dwelling is now in course of erection. The Committee also receive most gratify ng account of t' e efforts making in different part of the county to improve the dwellings of the poor, among the foramost of to Lich they mast place the rec ant erection of a considerable number of exec: ent cottages at Amethif Rnd other villages, by his Grace the I 'Like of Bedford, who is about to exteed the same system of improvemen over the whole of his l arge Property. Yet while giving utterance to these congratulatio s s, the Com nlittee feel compelled to add some words of cauti o n. Th e y f e a r t h a t eertal st erroneous notions, which have 'one* been prevalent, are still entertained in many quarters as to the expediency and prepriety of e a O r any each attempts to ameliorate the condition of the poor. It 4enss still to be thought by some, that to render the labouring as ses comfortable is to encourage their increase—that to encourage Th e i •r increase leads to the growth of pauperism—and that pauperism " the devouring evil which threatens to swallow la, all the pro lertY of the country." e „„, k rnelnent's glance at the statistics of the present century may — nee to dissipate so:r e of these illusions. The Population of England and Wales, in 1817, was 1 1 ,3 49 75 0 ; the soot expended in 1817 on the relief of the poor was 6,910,9251. 1847 th e 8 population had grown to at 1 act 17, 0 0 0 , 000 , but the 4 ' n expended the reli fof the poor in that year was only 21 6 . eu d B al. Thus, in 1817 the pauperism of the kingdom was equal to levy of more than 12s. en each person ;in 1847 it did not amount !s• On each. e "'s , 4 1 817 a sum of 6,910,925/. was raised on rateable property of the i p ne of 52,000,000/. In 1847 the suns of 5,298,785/. was' raised on oi el i;_ e ttY valued at 67,000,0001. Thus, in 1817 the rateable property laaa l e country had to bear a levy of 2s. Bd. in the pontid, while in so that levy was reduced to Is. 7d. - nee. whatever allowance we may make for the stricter adtni or trillion of the poor-law, or for the reduced price of the necessaries f• a, these few figures will show how ungrounded is the alarm by some, that pauperism is an ever-increasing evil, which ,lu st, soon er or l a t er, swallow up all property. I T° take a contrary view, is it not a striking fact, that a property • °f colY 7d. ill the pound yielded, in 1e47, more money than was ended on the whole pauperism or England and Wales ? ,anallese few facts are adduced solely to quiet al trm, and to restore I dence. The Committee feel assured that nothing is now wanted e o ahi ra i jae the English labourer, generally, to a pos lion of moderate • a ° rt, so far as his physical wants are concerned, but an increase e se "°Pe and confidence—hpe and confidence on the part of the 144'0Yer and proprietor, amid the like feeling on the part of the urer. r to be feared that a sentiment of despair, naturally healing to e e la'essness is the principal cause of much of the improvidence and tt - t e 2 111 . 1 re ' valent orating the working classes. If the labourer is " 1 Y poorly fed and clothed, and wretchedly lodged; but secs also e ° ,. P i r s °sPect ef improvement, even its the vista of years, who eon won le ss ' the least temptation, either to sensual indulgence or t..) rec k lea„"gagements, proves too mach for his stability ? T . o_ imbue a • With self-respect, or thoughtfulasss for the future, it is clearly 17, I tial that hope should brighten the prospect. It is but too pa a th e e that most of the improvident marriaees which occur among Poor arise from the utter absence of all hope that marriage shall ta: r b e anything ese than improvident. The man who has known bon such of one, home and can look forward to the poves h el* such an will not be very likely to throw him-elf wilfully he nce and wretchedness. s s l e nee it may be safely regarded as one of the surest safeguards 4 :anst rash and imprudent marriage, to give the young labourer a h ' i a knowledge of the comforts of a respectable home, and to afford Sa c a Prospect of acquiring such for himself, by the exercise of in qv, Prudence, and frugality. soasae Committee wia not further enter into details, or press their e n '',' l l ,, ctions with undue confidence. Bat they may surely beg, with slanslante, the attention of the gentry and middle classes to the sa th j Of the times, and to the vast importance of rendering the con tia„ a pf the labouring classes as comfortable as their ntaural V aal allow. Everywhere the spread oi knowledge and education au, ' t hing the working classes wills power. That power they have *C o , and are using, i n var i ou s parts of Europe, to overthrow those Ime,P a they consider to have wronged or oppressed them. in Eng eeen' naPpily, there exists no real ground for such complaints. Bus sad the ordinary sufferings of poverty, If net sew hed by sympathy, tit alleviated by the hand of wealthy benevolence, may be some IsT„'s Mistaken for the inflictions of injustice. Hence the Divine thi,:lng sad counsel can never be more seasonably applied than at t o , - ; moment The poor shall sever cease out of the land ; there thy command thee, saying, thou shalt open thine hand wide unto brother, to thy psor, and to thy ne.edy in the land." own c onclusion, the Committee would add a few words on their tlaii„ l onediate concerns. The work entrusted to them becomes Olh of increasing importance. Their correspondence with all parts leinag,,aland rapidly extends, find appeals are continually made to them iq involve an increased expenditure. The principal work, too, tor na n( len —the Model Lodging-house for Families, now about to be litts e - ` en eed, ll require an exenliture of at least 5 while 0' More than 5,0001. has yet been subscribed for that purpose. fes, ll , w ary ground, therefore, the Committee would earnestly ask it "", and e n l arge d con t r ib u ti o ns. Ndother soc'ety, they believe aI4 Y of th be safely asserted, devoting itself to the, physical necessities tob ih e Poor, has embarked in so extensive and necessary an under thiug as this iu which they are engaged. They desire to do some theyarneliorate the condition of the whole labourin pulation alagdorn; and few and feeble as their efforts has t e yet been, *4 l still find encouragement 'to hope that, by perseverance, amid t h, e blessingwho judgeth the cause of the poor and Y ' eVen this great work inay in a measure be accomplished. kigned for the Committ ASHLEY, Chairman.

PORTSICOITTEI, MARCH B.—The Redney, 92, Captain E. Cerher. C. 13., has hien paid (-1f to-day alongside the dockyard jetty, the first line-of-battle ship which has ever been paid off in that position. The resolution of the Admiral Superintendent to do so has excited the ire of certain parties who are in the habit of deriving a di rect benefit from the contrary course. There can be very little doubt that it has prevented much plunder being carried on, which would otherwise certainly have occurred. On the whole, though it has been productive of some inc , nvenience by parties blocking up the gates of the dockyard, it has been beneficial to the sailors, to their relatives, and even to their just creditors, as there was no egress for them but by ore Gullet, near which every one having an interest in the matter could station himself. The ship's marines were landed this morning at Clarence yard, and marched to Forton Barracks. -• The Janus steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Powell, is ordered to sail to-morrow for Gibraltar. She is to be z paid advance before starting, and to call at Plymouth on her way down channel. Two serious accidents occurred yesterday morning in the dockyard, one being a severe fracture of both bones of the leg, by the fall of a heavy piece of timber on a man belonging to the staff of Mr. Peter Rolt, the Go vernment contractor; the other happened to Henry Swee ney, an intelligent man, one of the engine factory fitters, who, whilst employed about the engines of the Urgent steam-vssael, had his hand caught in the machinery, which tore away and lacerated the whole of the soft parts, besides injuring some of the small bones, leaving a doubt whether the limb will have to be amputated. Both sufferers received the promptest attention and skill from the surgical officers of the dockyard. Wind N. W., fresh breezes, and squally. [PRICE SD. THE RIVER PLATE. LIVERPOOL, Trtuaspev.—By the arrival of the brig Gauntlett, Captain Presly, we have received accounts from Buenos Ayres to the 26th of December. The Government of the Argentine Republic were about to enforce a quarantine upon all vessels from European ports infected will cholera. The term fur th,, payment of the contribution directa bad been extended to the 17th of January. The BritiA Packet of the 23d of December says— " The intarsive Government in Monte Video has re cently forwarded to the so-called assembly of notables several drafts of decrees, one of which provides that so long as the present siege of that city lasts, and for year or two after, no property of any description can be distrained for the payment of debts contracted previous to the let of January, 1843; but when the debtor has not sufficieet property to guarantee the payment of his liabilities, the exception will not be allowed in his favour." There was little change to notice in commercial affairs in Buenos Ayres, the demand for produce continuing ligt.t, especially for horse hair, which had greatly fallen in price. Hides were quoted at 43 to 50 for salted ox, and 34 to 36 for salted cow. Horns, per thousand—ox 800, and c-w 250 to 300; wool, fine washed, 40 to 50.

T HE NICOLL —REGENT-STREET and CORNHILL. " Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressed in fancy rich, not gaudy ; For the aparel oft proclaims the roast." THE spirit and meaning of the above quotation may with justice be applied to The NICOLL, a patented Paietot or outer coat, adapted for a variable climate, by means of a novel and most ingenious contrivance, whereby it can be converted at pleasure from a warm to a light garment, or vice versa. The wearer's personal appearance is moreover im proved, and he possesses. a most gentlemanly and graceful gar ment either cold or warm weather ; not only this, but the inner lining, when detached, can be worn alone, and forms a most corn foi to Ic reading or dressing Jacket ; cad though t he tout ensemble is rich in quality, yet it retains a moderate cost, such varying from ene act a halt t• three and a half guineas, but can be had in London only of tile Patentees, 11.

NOVELTY.—There has lately been registered an article that cannot fail to find a place in every Gemle man's wardrobe, as it effectually provides for a long-acknowledged want therein. The said novelty consists in a body garment some what in the form of a dress-coat—that is to say, it can be worn without any distinct infringement of the laws of cos tume recognised in society upon ordinary dress occasions ; but yet the garment is more especially intended far morning wear, as a Riding or Walking Coat ; and as, for such exercises, each will maitualii his own idea as to the requisite ease necessary for its fit, the inventors, in order to insure the full convenience of their patrons, will keep ready an extensive graduation of sizes, that a s lection can be made proportionate with the nature of exertion or the wearer's own taste—thus at once obviating any annoyance arising from the cutter not immediatelely comprehending what is wanted. Although composed of the NICOLLIAN CLOTH, yet a most moderate price is charged, viz., Two Guineas for NICOLL'S HORN I. 0, COAT, as that is the name given to the said novelty, and vrich ear' be had in London only of H.

Arrivals from a b road consisted of about 1,085 (average 2071 113333 quarters of wheat from Galatz. 915 sacks of flour from France, 1.664 barrels of flour and 642 quarters of Indian corn from the United States; coastwise and from Ireland they have been moderate. Prices have undergone no material variation during the week, and sales were almost confined to local wants, which are still of a languid character. At this day's market there was a thin attendance of town and country buyers, and but little business was done, owing to holders being reluctant to sell under former rates. Wheat moved off slowly at last Wednesday's currency. Flour being less firmly held, was the turn in favour of buyers. Barley more inquired after, and a quick sale. Oats and oatmeal in better demand at last week's prices. Beans and peas a retail sale, at the quotations. Indian corn and meal unchanged. EDINBURGH, \IARCII 7.—The supply of wheat and barley in the market to-day was much less than last week, while oats and beans were large. Sales were ready for all sorts.

The immersion of our satellite in the earth's shadow, took place at 12i m i nutes past t en , an d th e emersion at 38 minutes past three. The magnitude of the eclipse at the middle was nearly three-fourths of the moon's stir face. The sky in the evening had been cloudy, but to wards the period of the eclipse the clouds dispersed, and the phenomenon wai beautifully visible throughout its whole duration. The next (clifse of the moon, visible in London, will be at half past two in the afternoon of the 2d of September, lastTg ,upwards of five hours, when more than one-half of the moon's surface will be obscured.

Yes ; when I look at thee and my arrears, I find that I am over head and ears. But never mind, I'll manage to defray, Tt.e debt which hitherto I've failed io pay: In other words, my muse's ready purse Shall liquidate the debt by means of verse. Illustrious gate ! thou lon, hast had to stand, The boundary-mark of Fleet-street and the Strand ; Nor can I think that e , er thy removal Will meet with the majority's approval. The statues of Elizabeth and James Will still remind us of their royal names ; While in thy western niches we shall view Thy Charleses number one and number two. I often think, famed bar, while gazing at you, And mutely conning each illustrious statue, What dillerent articles of dress were made When either of those noted monarchs swayed. MOSES AND SON'S ATTIRE Was quite unknown, When Charles, or Bess, or James enjoyed the throne. No stylsli samples of improvement's march Then passed beneath thy famed elliptic arch. No MOSES then in splendid garments clad The English gentleman, adult, or lad. THE HITS OF MOSES Then, thou noted gate, Were never known to decorate the pate. Inferior Hats to MOSES' decked the crown, When those lamed sovereigns laid their precepts down. THE HOOTS AND SHOES, Thou, celebrated bar, Were not at all like those of MOSES are; Far, far Inferior fashion h id they got, And far inferior firmness—had they not? FURS, SHAWLS, AND HOSIERY, Such as MOSES show, Were never then adopted.-0 dear, no. If Queen Elizabeth's stone statue there, Ilad but a tongue, and reason to compare, 'Twould tell us trankly—bearing out my view, That ladies never dressed as now they do. MOSES and SON, 'twould say, surpass them far, On viewing what they were, and what they are And thus have I improved on Temple-bar. UST OF P2UCES. iZADY MADE.

The final report of Major Robinson, Royal Engineer, on the proposed t run k li ne o f ra il way f rom Nova Scotia through New Brunswick to Quebec has been made. from which it appears that five metes were examined and surveyed, the first being 600 miles, the second 635, the third 652, the fourth 595, and the filth 692 miles in length. The second line is the ono recommended, com mencing at Halifax, and running to Truro, at the head of the Bay of Fundy, thence over the Cuinberland Moun tains to Amherst, then along the coast from Bay Irene to Shediac, thence by a north-wes , erly course, crossing the rivers - Richibucto and 3rliramiehi, so as nut to inter fere with the navigation; Bun by the Valley to Bathurst on the Bay of Chaleurs, along the coast of this bay to the Restigouche River, and by it and the valley of the river Metapedia to the St. Lawrence, and by the right bank of the St. Lawrence to Quebec. Teis line passes through extensive coal fields arid mineral districts, in which iron ore is abundant. One most important object to be attained by the construction of the railroad is, the settlement of the public lands, and the encouragement of emigration from the mother country. It is stated to combine in the highest degree the greatest amount of remuneration for the expenditure to be incurred as com pared with the other routes, the opening up a large field for provincial improvements for the settlement of emigrants, and by affording the opportunity, in addition to internal, of external communication by means of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Bay Chaleurs, that it will tend to develop in the highest degree the commerce and the fisheries of the province of New Brunswick. After explaining the advantages of this route as to climate, agriculture, and engineering, it states the estimated cost to be about 7,0001. per mile, which, for the 625 miles, would amount to 4,445,0001., and adding one-tenth for contingencies, 444,500 L, total 4,889,500/., or, in round numbers, 5,000,000/. It is estimated that the .total population at present which will be benefited by and become contributors to the line, may be taken at 400,000, and would, at 10s. per head, give 200,000/. as its probable revenue per annum. Various suggestions have been, made for raising the capital required for the construction of the line by Earl Grey, the Secret ar y o f State, and the governors of the provinces, but nothing definitive has yet been come to with regard to the mode of raising the capital. They all admit the advantages of the railway, and the governors of the provinces their willingness to contribute towards its construction. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, MARCH.

In my last letter I informed you, that the constitu tional vessels commanded by General Justo Briceno had, on the Bth ultimo, forced the bar of Maracaibo. On the 13th ultimo, while at anchor at Brio-seco, they were attacked by the malcontents with a superior force, which after a sharp engagement they beat e ff, capturing three of their vessels that had run aground. Oa the 24th ultimo, the castles of San Carlos were evacuated by the malcontents, who, abandooing tour of their vessels, with the remainder crossed the Lake of Maracaibo, and entered the River 'Luba. On the same day Briceno to,,k pssession of the cas tles, in the dungeons of which were discovered a number of prisoners detained there during the last six months. They were so emaciated and weak from the ill-treatment they had experienced ss to be scarcely able to move. A short distance from the fort were also found eleven bodies of constitutionalists, killed in the affair of the 13th of November, which had been left unburied, the flesh having been devoured by vultures. On the 25th ultimo Briceno followed up the lake in pursuit. The malcontents landed at the town of San Carlos del Zulia, where on the night of the 31st ult. they were attacked and completely routed by a column under Co lonel Ezequiel Zamarra, singular enough the same in.lividual whose death Soublette and Paez strove in 1846 so hard to compass, and in which attempt they would have succeeded but for his escape from prison. An instance of female heroism, worthy of being re corded, was displayed during this attack, and, in fact, to it the success of the attack is chiefly due. A lady of the name of Maria Encarnacion Pirelli, wife of a respectable householder of San Carlos, exasperated by the cruelty shown by the malcontents, took part in the action; and observing that after more than two hours' firing the constitutionalists were as far as ever from taking the town, she s&zed alighted torch, mid encoura ging the soldiers to follow her example, in the midst of heavy fire, rushed up to one of' the houses occupied by the malcontents and set fire to its thatch. Wounded in the leg by a grape-shot, she has since been conveyed to the hospital. A body of the malcontents under Colonel Andrade effec . ed their esca p e , ret i r i ng upon the province of Me rida, but on the 7th inst. they surrendered themselves up at a place called " Mocoties.” Thus has terminated the rebellion commenced a year since by the ex-Generals Paez and Soublette. The former remains at Curass,m, the latter at Cartha gena, neither of them having by a return to Venezuela chosen to expose to p er il t h e i r own persons subsequent to their flight into New Granada in March of last year. There is nut a doubt in my mind that the malcontents would have long since surrendered had they not been allowed to make use of Curacoa and its dependencies as bases for their op era ti ons; f or example, Oruba was the principal resort of their vessels. Even children of Venezuelan slaves who, by the law of the country, are b orn free and become so entirely on attaining the age o f 25 , h ave b y P a( z ' s associates been carried away to Curacoa and there sold as slaves. Considering that Curac is is only . a few hours' sail from the Venezuelan coast, it is most important to the future peace of the Republic that Paez be no longer psi.- mitted to act there the part of a conspirator against the Venezuelan Government and nation. Mr. Leocadio Guzman, the popular member of the Ex , ecutire Government, promises that great reductions shall be effected in the public expenditure, and a check be at length put upon the bare-faced frauds against the Customs. It will be well for the country if he be enabled to make good these assurances; for the late rebellion has occa sioned enormous losses to it in every shape and way; whilst its character and credit hare been completely un dermined by the agitation of delusive fiscal and commer cial panaceas, and by s till more d angerous projects for evading the payment of debts by the landed proprietors, which have been framed by the party called " Cotope rim," of which 1)r. Sanavria and Mr. Francisco Ramon Hernandez, in union with sLyeral of the most indebted of the oligarchy, are the principal members. The worst feature in the case is, that these projects are not the wild schemes of an ignorant and excited multitude, but are deliberately put forward by some of the richest, although indebted, owners of plantations in Venezuela, and that their practical effect . would be to enrich these at the expense of their creditors, chiefly foreigners. Of course the eventual, if not the immediate, loss would fall on the nation at large, and not upon the foreign creditors, as intended; but it is to be hoped that President Monagaa, who is one of the largest landed proprietors, and one of the richest men in Venezuela, and who does not owe a shilling, will support his Minister, Guzman; and that,' with the aid of public men of firmness and integrity of purpose, he will, as he did last year, save the honour and . material interests of his country by successfully frustrating these suicidal and dishonest machinations. The Prince of Orange has signified his intention of giving a gold cup to be run for at the ensuing Croxton Pa! k races.

As se anuounerA yesterday, the season will pr:sitivery commence on Thursday next, the 15th of March. The unusual silence which has prevail, d until the present moment has arisen, we presume, from the uncertainty that has existed as what w,uld ultimately form the le merits of the troupe. As regards Jenny Liud, the em press or prima donne, it is not up to this momieret de tided in what form she will contribute to the enter tairemeets of the seasen. Amongst the artistes en geged is Madame Ficzzohni, who apps ared to London some seasons mi,tca. Thar; lino artiste has just e , ncluded the season at St. Petvt ksburgh. here v.e tie.:r her success was exceediegly great. We have ale .ready stated that the valuable set vices Alb.)tii have been sr cur. d. There is also G,zzeinja, who, during the carnival just expired, was the ruling prima donna of the Gland Opera at Turin. We learn that her voice is a soprano c , t g , eat extent. Another engagement. upon which it seems great re hence is placed, is Mdlle. Permits, a pupil of the great Pasta; she has for several )ears teen perk-cling herself; both vocally and drainati ctilly, under her illustrious mistress. Ih. next singer is Mdlle. Guiliani, a soprano ; and Cassolani, a young contralto, who has recently appeared and created Is sensation at the Seals. Several secondary lady vocalists have been engaged. The tenors consist of ;hat general favourite Gardoui; Calzori, considered one of the best Ressitiesn tenors in Italy; M. Thrches. who has recently commenced his career with excellent effect at La Pergola, San Carlo, and at the Italiens at Paris; and M. Bartolini, who has also essayed at the last-named theatre. The bases are Lablache, F. Lablache, Belletti, and Coletti. The orchestra will still boast of the great instrumentalists of last season, supported, it is said, by several new en gagements, and the choruses have been strengthened by fresh and efficient voices. The indefatigable Balfe will once more wield the baton. The choruses will be under the direction of Felice Ronconi, the brother of the great actor and singer. The Clementa di Tito, of Mozart, is to be revived; and ll Matrimonio will be produced, with Lablache, Frezz And, mid Alboni. The Don Giovanni will be cast with Alboni in Zee-line, who will also appear as Ninetta in Gazza Ladra, which she has been recently performing at the Italians. The ballot will be supported by Carlotta Grisi, who will commence the seas(ll, and Rosati, and Marie Taglioni, Petit Stephan, Louis D'or, &c. Each of the vocal debutantes will appear in an opera specially adapted to her peculiar talents. LYCEUM THEATRE. The fact that the different objects which occur in the course of a day may easily be distorted into the dream of the ensuing night, forms the basis of a little drama produced last night under the title of the Romantic Idea. A German student arriving at an inn finds there a jealous landlord with a young and a waiter pining with a hopeless passion for his master's daughter. A curious story of love and murder which he has heard told (or rather very well sung by Miss K. Fitzwilliam), with reference to a ruined castle in the neighbourhood, induces him to pass the night there. A grim postillion guides him to the spot, and, falling asleep, he sees the legend acted before him in a dream, with the pe rsonages of the inn transformed into the principal characters. After a series of awful adventures which he goes through, as a long-lost heir to the property, and which ends in the violent death of nearly everybody concerned in the tale, be wakes, and the little piece is brought to a close. The chief hu mour of the situati ,, n consists in the circumstance, that the student, with his modern prosaical lanusge, is brought into inim(sliate contact with a num b er of peop l e who talk the high•flown dialogue of burlesque tragedy. The pompous declamation of Mr. Hall, Miss Fitzwilliam, Miss Howard, Mr. Selby, and Mr. Roaby, which last gentleman impersonates a demon quite in the " 0. Smith " style, produces considerable laughter, and con trasts with the easy wonderment of Mr. C. Mathews, who acts the student. The scenery representing the ruins may be classed among the happiest of Mr. Bever ley's productions, and the contrivances for changing from actuality into the world of dreams are der, r and effec tive. Much applause followed the fall of the curtain. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, THURSDAY.

TO THE LADIES, This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news. Japor on Aug. 7,1646. Reader, remember, this letter was put !nt the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstono, of the Herbary. High gate to the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in haying com pletely restored the hair en her head, after using itabont four months, and the whole of her hair is nalsch stranger and more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an lis. kettle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far Deyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3 Swan-street, Borough." In eases et the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops en the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mime it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the nair brilliancy, causing it to curl. _ _ The most atiloate 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 cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the erown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplicati ens. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.
