The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more durable it becomes It is perfectly free from any of the caustic qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon as dry, as it is impos3ible that it can vegetate or change colour, nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or peel off. To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a ino , t important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; with regard to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing• capital in buildin g speculations. The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5, Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sale agents, at whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be seen, and every information afforded. DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENTS.

LAW IN PREROGATIVE COURT, May 27 There were many motions disposed of, in which probate was refused to papers not executed in conformity with the New Will Art. IN RE GOODS OF THE MOST NOBLE CHARLES MARQUIS OF HERTFORD. Dr. ADDAMS applied for the grant of probate. to the will, and 33 papers offered as codicils, of the late Marquis of Hertford, who died on the Ist of March last. 'The will was dated on the 25th of February, 1823, and with the eodicils ws.re all in the handwriting of the deceased nobleman. Some of the papers were written abroad, others in Eng. land, with many interlineations and alterations. Of the codicils executed since the New Will Act came into opera tion, some were not in conformity with the provisions of the law. The executors named in the will were Lord Low ther, Mr. (now Sir Robert) Peel, Mr. Henry Cooke, Mr. John Wilson Croker, and Mr. Hopkinson. These parties were also appointed residuary legatees in trust, and the Earl of Conway (the present Marquis) residuary legatee. A codicil, dated in 1830, revoked the appointment of Mr. Robert Peel, and Mr. Cooke and Mr. Harvey were named instead. A codicil of August, 1834, appointed Mr. Meynell as an executor also. The Learned Advocate, in sup port of the grant to Lord Lowther and his co-executors, ob served that there were duplicates and triplicates of some of the papers. Some were gifts conditionally. It was, however, necessary that a representation should be given to the vast property left by the testator, especially as there were civil and criminal suits going on. Sir H. JENNER FUST granted probates to the wills and such of the codicils as could pass. And the Learned Counsel, with the proctor and the registrar, were directed to loOlCover the whole of the papers, to discover which should be passed or en titled to the grant. _ A question — arose as to some valuable property contained in a box at Milan ; and which, by a codicil, was given to the Countess Zichy. The Cons r directed the box to b 3 opened in the presence of the Countess. DAWES V. FEUCHEKES. The CounT was occupied the rest of the flay In hearing ar guments as to the admissibility of an allegation in this case. The further hearing was postponed till the next session. SECONDARIES' COURT, May 27. LAWES AND ANOTHER V. SHAW. In this case Edward Hudson Vitruvius Lawes and William Barber, Registrars of the Bankruptcy Court, were plaintiffs, and James Shaw the defendant. The action was brought to recover the sum of 1,0001., being the sixth part of a bond of 6,0001., entered into by the defendant and five others, by way of security for James Clark, late an official assignee of the Court of Bankruptcy. The defendant having suffered judg ment to go by default, the Jury were now called upon, under a writ of inquiry, to assess the amount of damages to which the plaintiffs were entitled. • Mr. PLATT, in opening the case, said that in January, 1832, Mr. Clark was appointed an official assignee of the Bankruptcy Court, at which time the bond was given that was the subject of this inquiry. From that period various sums were entrusted to his care, arising from various bankrupts' estates, and the 12th of April, 1641, he wrote a letter to Sir Charles Frederick Williams, the Commi4sioner, tendering his re signation, and informing that learned gentleman, of his (Mr. Clark's) defalcation, and his inability to meet it. lle had kept, it appeared, large sums of money in his possession, arnount:ng in all to about eight thousand pounds, and which he ought to have paid into the hands of the Accountant- General. It, therefore, became necessary that the Court. of Bankruptcy should call on the sureties, but on inquiry being• made, some of them it was found had become insolvent, and others were living abroad and were not worth a farthing. The p'aintiffs hail, therefore, proceeded against Mr. Shaw for the recovery of the sum of 1,0001. It would be proved that from fourteen different estates the assignee had received above 1001. and retained those sums in his own possession The Learned Gentleman then detailed the several amoants received by Mr. Clark from the estates of various bankrupts, the most of which, he said, had found their way to Mr. Clark's private banking account. A number of witnesses were examined, connected with the Bankruptcy Court, in support of the Learned Counsel's state ment, and the bond, signed by Mr. Shaw, the defendant, was put in. It also transpired, in the course of the inquiry, that in the case of Mb.rriss and Nicholson, in which Mr. Clark had re et ived upwards of 1,700/. and in other instances in which he was a defaulter, that the fiats and commissions could not be found, but the evidence, exclusive of those cases, showed that Mr. Clark had ree, ivied the sum of 3,459/. 16s. 11d. It was stated that 473,000/, and upwards, had pissed through Mr. Clark's hands during the time he was official assignee. Sir Charles Frederick Williams, the Commissioner of Bank ruptcy, was examined at considerable length, in the course of which he stated that he had entertained a very high opinion of Mr. Clark as an effilient officer. The per tentage ti which the assignee was entitled on his receipts was 1 / 2 per cent. over every 1,000/., 1 per cent. under that sum, 2 1 / 2 per cent. for 5001., and 5 per cent. below that sum. He was also allowed 51., 101., 151., or 201. for the examination of a bankrupt's ac counts, according to the discretion of the Commissioners. Mr. Clark, in his cross-examination, stated that he believed the Court owed him as much as he was deficient, and "a little more." He admitted that some years ago he was deficient of. 4,0001., and that he had mentioned it to Mr. Commissioner Fane, during the absence of Sir C. F. Williams, and Mr. Fane had told him (Clark) that he should be bound to report but he would do so favourably. On that occasion be bor rowed the motley, and made it all up but 1,2001. He had allowed 990/. and upwards, which was in his banker's hands, to remain there until it could be appropriated towards his defalcation. Mr. Sergeant Snea addressed the jury for the defendant, and made some stringent observations upon the culpable neg ligence of the Bankruptcy Commissioners in suffering the deficiency in Mr. Clark's accounts to remain so long undis covered. The Learned SECONDARY having summed up, the Jury retired to consider their verdict at a few minutes before five o'clock, and after an hour's absence they returned into Court with the following special verdict :—" We assess the damages at 6001., and it is the opinion of this special jury, from the evidence brought before them upon this inquiry, that great negligence has been proved in the management of the Court of Bankruptcy with regard to the security of the property arising from the estates under their control." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PUBLIC EXECUTIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. "Murder, though it bath no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ."—SnaxspEßE. SlR,—The horrid deeds of Daniel Good, Greenacre, and Cook are not the first instances of the mutilation and dismemberment of the body after murder. The first case in this country occurred in 1726, with this difference, that a husband was murd ere d by hi s wife. As it affords another remarkable instance of retri butive justice, I will recapitulate the facis as briefly as possible. Mr. Hayes was a farmer's son, who married a woman of a somewhat indifferent character. They kept a house in London, part of which was let out in lodgings, and carried on the chandlery and coal trade, in which they were very successful. Exclu sive of his profit by shopkeeping, he acquired a great deal of money by lending small sums on pledges. After having acquired a decent competency, he left off housekeeping, and hired lodgings near Oxford road. Thomas Billing, a journeyman tailor, lodged in the same house, and a connexion was soon formed between him and Catherine Hayes, the wife. Mr. Hayes having gone into the country, his wife and Billings indulged themselves in all sorts oF extravagance. On his return, some of his neigh bours informed him of his wife's misconduct, on which he severely censured her for it ; and a quarrel arising between them, they proceeded from words to blows. No doubt she formed the resolution of mur dering him at this time, as the quarrel happened only six weeks before his fatal exit. At this period Thomas Wood, an acquaintance of Mr. Hayes, arrived from the country, and being afraid of impressment, Hayes kindly took him into his hoilse, and promised to use his interest in getting him some employment. After a few days' residence, Mrs. Hayes proposed to him the murder of her husband ; but the man was shocked at the idea, and told her that he would have no concern in so atrocious a deed. In a short time, however, by the repeated solicitations of Mrs. Hayes, his scruples of conscience were removed—he was prevailed on to be one of the execrable butchers. Accordingly Billings and Wood murdered him with a hatchet while he was asleep. The murderers now consulted how they should dispose of the body, so as to prevent detection. Mrs. Hayes proposed to cut off the head, to which the villains agreed.. She accord ingly fetched a pail, lighted a candle, and all three going into the room, the men drew the body partly off the bed, when linings supported the head while Wood, with his pocket-knife, cut it off, and the in flunous woman held the pail to receive it, being as careful as possible that the floor might not be stained with the blood. Billings and Wood then took the pail with them, and threw the head into the dock of a wharf, near the Horseferry, Westminster, leaving the pail behind. They were both found in the dock the next day by a watchman. When the murderers returned home Mrs. Hayes proposed that the body should be put in a box and buried, but the box which she purchased being found too little to contain it, she recommended the chopping off the legs and arms, which was done ; but, being still too small, the thighs were then cut off, and all the parts packed up toge ther, and the box put by till night, when Wood and Billings took out the pieces of the maligned body, and putting them in two blankets, carried them out of the house unnoticed, and threw them into a pond near Marylebone. Meanwhile, the Magistrates directed that the head should be washed clean, and the hair combed, after which it was ton a pole in th e churchyard of St. M argare t, Westminster, that it might be identified. After it had been exhibited four days, and no discovery made, a surgeon was de sired to put it in spirits to prevent its pu • trifying, and keep it for the further inspec tion of all who chose to view it. At length suspicion was excited ; haves was missing, and his friends began to inquire of his wife what had become of him, to all of whom she gave evasive and different answers. Finally, after various subterfuges, the trio were taken into custody. The dismembered limbs were subsequently discovered, and Wood con fessed the several particulars already related, and Billings made a similar confession. To conclude, F-Wood died in Newgate, and thus defeated the final execution of the law. Billings was executed in the usual manner, and then hung in chains, not far from the pond in which Mr. Hayes's body was found, in Marylebone Fields. The wretched woman, the real murderer, was fixed to a stake near the gallows, with on iron chain round her body ; and she was literally burnt alive.* Her body was not perfectly reduced fo ashes in less than three hours. IVhat a horrible exit from this life !—Your obedient servant, * At Tyburn, May 9, 1726. C. P. J.

EDWARD FITZBA LL, Author ot " Siege of Rochelle," &c. RAILWAYS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir John Rae Reid, Bart., of No. 4, Eaton-place, Belgrave square, stated, that between twelve and one o'clock yesterday, qa his leaving the Spitalfields Ball, given at the Italian Opera house, he hired the defendant's cab in the Haymarket, but, at the time of getting in, did not perceive that the driver was in toxicated ; he had, however, not proceeded far before he be came sensible that such was the case, and shortly afterwards the cab came in collision with an omnibus. On reaching the top of Piccadilly, opposite to Hamilton-place, the defendant starting off at a furious rate, and, through his recklessness and incapacity to guide his horse, the cab came in contact with the carriage of Lady Montagu, which was coming in the direction from Hyde Park-corner, the concussion was so tremendous that the cab was instantly overturned, the driver precipitated with fearful violence from his box, as was also Lady Nlontague's coachman, whose head narrowly escaped being erushed, and the cab horse thrown down, and so severely injured, that seemed unable to get up again. At the same instant the horses in the carriage took fright, and gal lopped forward, dragging the cab lying on its side, and the prostrate horse, with fearful rapidity, for the distance of at least between twelve and fourteen yards. Complainant being " a pretty strong sort of fellow," got his arm out of the upper most window of the cab, and endeavoured to seize the reins of the carriage horses, but could not succeed, and but for the police. whose zeal and exertion on the occasion could not be too highly lauded—having, at imminent risk to their own per sonal safety, stopped the carriage, his own life, in all probabi lity, would have been sacrificed. Complainant's face was cut by his being thrown forward against one of the front glasses of the cab. On being extricated, he was taken into the resi dence of Sir Edmund Antrobus, where every requisite . assist ance was most promptly rendered him. Mr. HA KDWICK said he supposed there could be no mistake about the defendant being intoxicated ? SIR, —It falls to my lot to travel frequently on the Great Western Railway, and I request permission, through the medium of your able and honest Journal to make a complaint against the Directors of that Company. It is the custom on that railway to lock the pas sengers in on both sides—a custom which in spite of the dreadful example at Paris, I have every reason to believe they mean to continue without any relaxation. In the course of a long life I have no • recollection of any accident so shocking as that on the Paris Rail way—a massacre so sudden, so full of torment— death at the moment of pleasure—death aggravated by all the amazement, fear, and pain which can be condensed into the last momerts of existence. Stu.,---As the subject of railway travelling now employs a good deal of public attention, may I be allowed to correct an error in the extract of a letter, published in your Journal of last Monday evening, the 23d instant. In your article, headed " French Railway Accidents, Aca demy of Sciences, Sitting of May 16th," a A.I. Delessert reads a paper from a correspondent, on the subject of the regulations observed on the London and Birmingham Railway ; and i❑ this correspondence it is stated, that the passengers are " constantly separateti from the steam-engine, by a waggon filled with par cels and goods." Now that this, Mr. Editor, is an erroneous representation of the actual fact, in reference to the London and Birmingham Railway, I will, in a moment, demonstrate. On Saturday last but one, at two o'clock, p.m., I took a ticket at the Euston-station for Coventry, a second-class ticket. But I found that the seats in all the second-class car riages were already occupied, except those in the foremost carriage, and in this foremost carriage I proceeded to Coventry. Between this carriage and the " tender," the space was not more than four feet ; being just sufficient for the action of the " buffers." But, I pwitively assert, that the carriage in which I sat was only separated from the steam-engine by the " tender," and not as M. Delessert's correspondent stated, " by a waggon filled with parcels and goods." As the safety of railway travelling constitutes, at this moment, a subject of considerable attention snd anxiety, I trust that your arrangements will allow of this letter, or, at least, of the purport of it, being inserted in y our widely-disse minated Journal.-1 am, Sir, yours, respectfully, J. B. SMITH. Park-street, Leamington, May 26, 1842. UNDER Ti-IE PATRONAGE OF PRINCE ALBERT.

Marlborough-street, has this day taiblished " The Lottery of Life," a novel, by the Countess of Islessington, which can now be had at all the libraries. Mr. Colburn has also just pub lished the following new works of fiction :—l. Passion and Principle, edited by Captai❑ Frederick Chamier. 2. Lady Anne Granard, or Keeping-up Appearances, by L.E L. 3.

The Man of Fortune, by Mrs. Gore; and. in a few days, will be published, a new novel, by the authoress of " 'the History of a Flirt," entitled •' The Manceuvring Mother." The Milan Gazette states that a meeting of the Shareholders of the Venice and Milan railroad was held in the latter city on the 4th. It was decided by 6SS votes to 25, that the Company was prepared to commence and complete the un dertaking. The Government Commissioner announced that the State would forward the work as much as possible by loans, or any other means in its power. It was agreed that the por tion of the line from Milan to Treviglio and Brescia should be i forthwith .commenced. Who can say that the same scene may not be acted over again on the Great Western Railroad ? That, in the midst of their tunnel of three miles' length, the same scene of slaughter and combustion may not scatter dismay and alarm over the whole country ? It seems to me perfectly monstrous that a board of ten or twelve monopolists can read such a description, and say to the public, " You must run your chance of being burnt or mutilated. We have arranged our plan upon the locking-in system, and we shall not in cur the risk and expense of changing it." The plea is, that rash or drunken people will at tempt to get out of the carriages which are not locked, and that this measure really originates from attention to the safety of the public ; so that the lives of two hundred persons who are not drunk and are not rash, are to be endangered for the half-yearly preservation of some idiot, upon whose body the coroner is to sit, and over whom the sudden death man is to deliver his . sermon against the Directors. The very fact of locking the doors will be a fre, quent source of accidents. Mankind, whatever the Directors may think of that process, are impatient of combustion. The Paris accident will never be for gotten. The passengers will attempt to escape through the windows, and ten times more of mischief will be done than if they had been left to escape by the doors in the usual manner. I.

Sir John—He was as - drunk as a fiddler ; and, although I have been importuned on the part of the defendant not to press the charge against him, I feel myself called upon, on public grounds, to came forward and urge his being punished with prop., severity. It is a piece of great fortune that Lady Mod tague's coachman, the defendant, and myself, were not all killed, or desperately maimed, to say nothing of the peril the ' party in Lady Montague's carriage were placed. Police-constable, N 0.55, of the C division, who principally as sisted in stopping the horses, and also took the defendant into cu b• tody, produced a splinter-bar belonging to Lady Montague's car riage which had been broken in two. There were in the car riage at the time, two ladies and Mr. Hope, of No. 14, Curznn-street, May-fair. They all escaped without injury. The defendant pleaded his having taken a "little drink" which had a more powerful effect upon him than he had an ticipated. • Mr. HA RDWICK, having strongly commented on his gross misconduct, fined him 31., and in default of payment to two months' imprisonment to hard labour, and also suspended his license as a.driver for two months.

WORSHIP- STREET The case of William Atttrell, a brushmaker, and Louisa, his wife, who stood charged, conjointly with l'aria Atttcell, his m•kiier, with having caused the body of their deceased in fant, five weeks old, to be privately buried as a still-born child, was finally disposed of before Mr. Broughton. Mr. Ware, the Vestry-clerk of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, vas present with the Churchwardens, and other parochial offi eors, in compliance with a request from the Magistrate. Mr. BROUGHTON briefly detailed the circumstances of the case, for the information of the parish authorities. The pri soners were first brought before him charged on suspicion of having caused the death of their child, and a strong prima facie case was made out against them. The body of the child had not then been found, but, through the exertions of Westbury, the officer, it was subsequently discovered that one of the assist. ant grave •diggers of Shoreditch had been induced by the prisoners to bury it, as a still-born child, i n Hutton church yard. A coroner's inquest had been since held, and he (the Nlagistrate) was happy to say that the evidence of the surgeon who examined the body after its dismemberment, went com pletely to exonerate the prisoners from the more serious charge. A subject of the utmost importance, however, was involved in the case, to which he requested the serious attention of the parish authorities. He alluded to the extreme facility with which a burial might be effected, it being only necessary, it would appear, to apply to an assistant gtave-digger, with a half-crown fee, who would undertake it without hesitation or demur. He hoped the parish authorities would give the matter their most serious consideration, and adopt measures for the remedy of so great an evil. Mr. Hunt, the prisoners' solicitor, said that there appeared, in fact, to be no case against his clients, and he hoped the 'Magistrate would at once dischar g e them. Some further conversation of an unimportant nature took place. after which the Ma g i s t ra t e acce d e d to the solisit ar ' s re quest, and the prisoners were discharged. It is not only the locking of the doors which is to be deprecated ; but the effects which it has upon the imagination. Women, old people, and the sick are all forced to travel by the railroad ; and for 200 miles they live under the recollection, not only of impending danger, but under the knowledge that escape is im possible—a journey comes• to be contemplated with horror. Men cannot persuade the females of their family to travel by the railroad ; it is inseparably connected with abominable tyranny, and perilous im prisonment. Why does the necessity of locking both doors exist only on the Great - Western ? Why is one of the doors left open on all other railways ? The public have a right to every advantage under permitted monopoly which they would enjoy under free competition ; and they are unjust to themselves if they do not insist upon this right. If there were two parallel railways, the one locking you in, and the other not, is there the smallest doubt which would carry away all the business ? Can there be any he sitation in which timid women, drunken men, sages, philosophers, bishops, and all combustible beings, would place themselves ? The decorations used for the Spitalfields ball will be retained at her Majesty's Theatre this evening, Saturday, May 28. I very much doubt the legality of locking doors, and refusing to open them. I arrive at a station where others are admitted; but lam not suffered to get out, though perhaps at the point of death. In all other positions of life there is egress where there is ingress. Man is universally the master of his own body, except he chooses to go from Paddington to Bridgewater; there only the habeas corpus is refused. Nothing, in fact, can be more utterly silly or mis taken than this over-officious care of the public ; as if every man who was not a railway director was a child or a fool. But why stop here ? Why are not strait-waistcoats used ? Why is not the accidental traveller strapped down ? Why do contusion and fracture still remain physically possible? Is not this extreme care of the public new ? When first mail coaches began to travel twelve miles an hour, the outsides (if I remember rightly), were never, tied to the roof. In paCkets landsmen are not locked into the cabin to prevent them from tumbling overboard. This affectionate nonsense prevails only on the Great Western. It is there only that men, women, and children (seeking the only mode of //~=rte :~~ f _----- transit which remains) are, by these tender-hearted monopolists, immediately committed to their locomo tive prisons. Nothing can, in fact, be so absurd as all this officious zeal. It is the duty of the Directors to take all reasonable precautions to warn the public of danger—to make it clear that there is no negligence on the part of the Railroad Directors; and then, this done, if a fool-hardy person choose to expose himself to danger, so be it. Fools there will be on roads of iron and on roads of gravel, and they must suffer for their folly; but why are Socrates, Solon, and Solomon to be locked up ? But is all this, which appears so philanthropical, mere philanthropy ? Does not the locking of the doors save servants and policemen ? Does not eco nomy mingle with these benevolent feelings ? Is it to save a few fellow-creatures, or a few pounds, that the children of the West are to be hermetically sealed in the locomotives ? Ido not say it is so ; but I say it deserves a very serious examination whether it is so or not. Great and heavy is the sin of the Directors of this huge monopoly, if they repeat u p on th e i r own iron the tragedy o f Paris, in order to increase their dividends a few shillings per cent. The country has (perhaps inevitably) given way to this great monopoly. Nothing can make it tolerable for a moment but the most severe and watchful jealousy of the manner in which its powers are exer cised. We shall have q-rannical rules, vexatious rules, ill temper, pure folly, and meddling and imper tinent paternity. It is the absolute duty of Lord Ripon and Air. Gladstone (if the Directors prove themselves to be so inadequate to the new situation in which they are placed) to restrain and direct them by law; and if these two gentlemen are afraid of the re sponsibility of such laws, they are deficient in the moral courage which their office requires; and the most important interests of the public are neglected. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, May 21, 1842. SIDNEY SMITH. • MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST.—The effect of the progress which the tariff is making in Parliament has already been felt in the produce markets, where more confidence and a better feelin..,e N visible. The exertions which are being used to o bt a i n a relaxation of the duty in favour of Coffee smuggled from the Cape of Good Hope meet with but little sympathy from merchants generally, the system of allowing it to be thus imported having always been considered as radically bad, and the incompatibility of three rates, and putting a stop to the practice being clearly seen. No reason can be perceived for allowing the present stock to be admitted at a duty below foreign, the purchasers and importers having op-ratnl with the knowledge that an al teration in the then rates would be made, and if it were allowed upon this particular article, justice would require that every other similarly affected should be treated, and thus the whole plan be deranged. SUN.—The Funds, which had been firm during the whole of the day, with an upward tendency, experienced a sudden de. oression late in the afternoon, and Consols left off at 92/ for Money, and 93* for the Opening, an eighth per cent. lower than yesterday. The-cause assigned for this decline is a sudden demand for money for commercial purposes, but this scarcely appears probable, from the limited extent to which business has 1 late been carried on ; the more likely reason is perhaps to be found in connection with some continental operas ens in the exchanges. Exchequer Bills advanced Is., the old bills being 3S to 40, and the advertised 35 to 36 prem. Bank Stock, 167 168 ; India Stock, 249 251. The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian 102 103 ; Dutch 'lwo-and-a-Half per Cents., 52% 523:4 ; the Five per • Cents. lIM 101* ; Danish, SO% 81 1 / 2 ; and Brazilian, 67* 68/. Railway Shares were higher, and apparently recovered from I the decline of yesterday.

The foreign exchanges were lower than on Tuesday, Am- Zterdam, 12 42,-, 12 4i; Rotterdam, 12 4i; Hamburgh, 13 104, 13 14 ; Antwerp, 12 4i; Frankfort, 151*, 151* ; Paris, 25f. 77/c., 25f. 82/ ;c.

The proposals made to the Bondholders by the Chilian Go vernment. for arranging the over-due interest, were unani mously adopted at the meeting to-day. Many of the holders are even now very far from being satisfied of the inability of Chili to do more than they have offered, considering, from the flouri,hing state in which she is, that in the courseuf a very few years the revenue would be in a condi tion to pay all the claims in full, and that, instead of waiting so long for the first payment of the Deferred Stock, it would have been preferable to have kept the negotiation in abeyance.

This Society, established for the promotion of a practical acquaintance with, and taste for, the productions of the tn st composers, gave a concert of Sacred Music in the ti,eitre of the Westminster Literary and Scientific Institution, Great Smith -street, on Monday last. Mozart's highly. esteemed " Twelfth Service" formed the first part, the solo parts b ing most judiciously sustained by Miss Ward, Miss Thorn ton, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Stretten, and the grandeur of the harmonies done ample justice to by a chorus of sixty vocalists, and a most efficient band. in the second part, the air from the Creation, "In Native Worth" was sung with great sweetness and expression by Mr. Turner ; the prayei, " 0, Lord have mercy," of Pergoliii, executed with deep feeling by Mr. Stretton, who was in excellent voice ; and " Ye sacred priests," sung by Miss Cubitt with her wonted delicacy and good taste. The ccncert repeatedly elicited the warm applause of the audience, and we could but regret that the numbers of persons who evinced their appreciation of the treasures of Handel, Haydn ; and Mozart, afforded such scanty encouragement to the Directors to persevere in their laudable endeavours to revive a taste for the highest order of music. SALE OF ANCIENT FURNITURE AND ARTICLES OF VERTU.—Messrs. Oxenham and Sons, of Oxford-street, hare advertised for sale, on the 31st instant, and the four follow ing days, a collection of valuable property of a curious and in teresting description, just imported from the Continent. This collection, which we inspected yesterday at the rooms in Ox ford-street, is of a very miscellaneous description, consisting, of obi French furniture, including some good specimens by De Boule and Alarqueterie among which we noticed an elegantly shaped rose and tulip wood table, the top of which is finely inlaid with groups of flowers; a pair of mosaic cabines 01 fine proportions, in which there are an oval centre panel and four angular panels representing fru.t and flowers, firmed of sardonyx, red jasper, cornelian, &c. ; a very handsome old Boule clock of the finest neriod of Louis XV. ; a second pair of cabinets, still finer than those above mentioned, which contain panels of mo saic in relief of very large dimensions, and decorated in a su perb manner with appliques of bronze d'ore of pure design; an old royal Sevres porcelaine plateau, finely painted in Boucher subject; a royal Sevres tazza, 46 inches in circumference, of a very rich and elegant appearance, and several vases of the same make and fabric. The collection also contains several very handsome and well-executed terra-cotta figures and groups, and some (finely well-moth lied bas-reliefs in terra-cotta. Among the bijouterie, which is of a very unique nature, we noticed a magnificent rosary of 27 lapis lazuli beads, with enamelled sold ornaments, to which is attached a chrystal relic with a figure of the Virgin, a work, we should suppose, of the 16th century ; and a distaff and spindle of carved box-wood, com posed of numerous groups of figures and animals, executed in an astonishingly elaborate manner, and of an extremely elegant design. There are also some paintings of the French and Flemish masters, varioussuits and fragments of armourof different ages, oak carvings of almost every style, and some large specimens, in an excellent state of preservation, of Beau vais tapestry. The recent sale at Strawberry-hill, which consisted for the most part of articles of this description, has probably given the public taste an impulse in this direction. We can say that, though it is not likely anything like the ex travagant prices realised at that aale will again be reached, many of the objects contained in this collection appeared toa s to 1 ossess equal, if not superior attractions to some of the relics at Horace Walpole's far-famed villa. • MADAME D'ARBLAY'S DIARY OF THE COURT OF QUEEN CHARLOTTE.—At the commencement of this vo lume, Miss Burney enters t•n the duties of her office at Court. She constantly resided under the same roof w;th her Majesty, was in daily communication, not only with her, but with the young Princesseq, and frequently saw and conversed with the King and the most distinguished personages of the Court. Imagine, then, this observant, clever creature, with every fa culty sharpened by the novelty of her situation, and the im portance of the scenes in which she moved, preserving a record of her life—not a dry dull diary of her breakfasts and dinners, but a copious narrative of every circumstance that could gra• tify public curiosity, varied with matchless sketches of indivi dual peculiarities; treasuring up the minutest details that could illustrate the character of the Royal Family and their circles— givirg the most animated and dramatic pictures of her daily experience; imagine this and you may form some idea of the cots tents of the volume. It is like having Evelina or Cecilia at Court, for the same general characteristics pervade the Diary as the novels, with the conviction that every line is genuine and true. The whole forms by far the most complete and lively represen tation of the Court of George 111. that has ever been given to the world.—Britannia. ROBBERY IN A LIVERPOOL ThYrEf..—A robbery b h y ad a Prussianwas co mm n i a t m te e d d e n G i u p n p d e a r y . one ias u o i f i r t i li c e ih hotels rr This i i s n i t n h d i s ix t i o d w u n al been staying at the hoe' for a month, representing himself as a wool merchant. On Sunday he contrived to take a cash-box from the bar, containing 411. 10s. in gold, and 6UI. wrapped in papers of 51. each, without observation. He immediately pro ceeded to another hotel, where he requested to be shown to a bedroom, under the pretence that he wanted to wash hi s h an d s . Whilst there, he broke open the box, t oo k out the cash, and having conce aled the box under the bed, went away. He then returned to the hotel where he had committed the robbery, and coolly ordorel dinner, after having partaken of which he left the house, and has not yet been heard of.—Liverpool Times, We find the following painful and extraordinary narrative in the Toulonnais :—" During a violent storm at Vitiauban, in the Ver, in the afternoon of the 16th inst., four peasants took shelter in an outhouse. The lightning atruek the building, and, displacing the beam of the.roof, it fell upon them, fractured the skull and killed a young man, and slightly injured another, his wife, and a second woman. These three persons were at the same time nearly suffocated by sulphurous vapour. As they were being carried into the village on litters, the dead and mutilated body of the young man was suddenly seen by his mother, who was in the street. Having a child at the breast, the shock had such a severe effect upon her, that her milk rose instantly to her head, and flowed from her mouth and nostrils." DEF ERRED ANNUITIES.
