In consequence of the continued and unprece dented success of the comedy of Married for Money, and the enthusiastic applause with which Mr. Charles Mathews and the Lyceum Company are nightly received, the comedy will be repeated every evening this week.—The extraordinary suc cess and unparalleled hit of the new Egyptian drama, Nito tris, pronounced the most complete and magnificent specta cle ever produced, the new scenery, splendid dresses, and gorgeous appointments being the theme of universal admira tion, induce the lessee to announce it for repetition every evening (Saturday excepted) till further notice. THIS EVENING, The most obvious means of avoiding these evils, bell sides many others, affecting both b-anches of education of naval officers, is to establish a naval college, with ins struction brigs attached to it, on a better system, and with fitter officers indeed, than the ill-regulated one which was broken up in 1840, where the practice of sea manship may be taught in a summer cruise about the British Isles, while the theory of navigation, the ateain engine, &c., occupies their winter months. These remarks have reached the Admiralty in the shape of many memoirs and letters, compiled or written by the moat rising officers of the navy, in which the ad. vantageons systems pursued by the •Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, and Danish navies, whose officers were-never held to be wanting in a practical knowledge of their pro fession, and by the French navy, whose officers Sabel in scientific acquirements, while the management of their ships elicit fresh admiration, are pointed out. But all in vain. Political Firkt Lords have ever been afraid of a leap in the - dark. Power-loving Sea Lords look on such suggestions as something quite out of place, or do not look on them at all, and all are unwilling to give up their patronage for _ Portsmouth, Nov. 7. [PRICE 4D.

Her Majesty's screw-corvette Malacca, 17, Capt. Far quhar, left Spithead yest er d a y for Bermuda, but brought up at St. Helen's roads, from adverse winds. Her Majesty's ship Sanspareil, 71, Captain Williams, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the eastward, to await further orders. Four steam gun-boats also arrived at Spithead yesterday from thetastward. The Protector, of Liverpool, H. Simmons commander, from London, bound for Demerara, put in at Portsmouth yesterday, with loss of bowsprit, jibboom, jib, and fore topmast staysail, with shrouds, &c., connected threwitb, having been in contact yesterday morning, at 3.30, with a brig, name unknown, 12 miles off St. Katharine's. The strange vessel stood off to the southward. The crew of the Arachne 18, got topmasts on end and topmast rigging over the masthead at Devonport on Tuesday, and the steam-vessel Hecla was warped to the depot Jupiter, to complete coaling. The crew of steam corvette Ariel, 9, Commander Luce, were paid wages at Plymouth on Wednesday, and granted a week's leave of absence. A meeting of factory operatives was held at the People's Institute, Heyrod-street, Manchester, on Wed nesday evening, in consequence of a number of master spinners having given notice to their operatives of an intended reduction of wages equal to 10 or 12 per cent.. The building is a large one, with a gallery, but it was crowded in every part, and some of the operatives had to leave for want of accommodation. It was stated that 27 firms had given notice of reduction, but that several bad subsequently withdrawn it. The CHAutiras was one of a provisional committee of three appointed to call the meeting, but the operatives present expressed an unwillingness , to give Lamer. He opened the meeting by requesting the operatives at the different mills who might happen to be present to state the purport of. the noticts given them, and when the no tices would take Effect. An OPERATIVE at W. P. Clarke and Co.'s mill said that Mr. J. Clarke was deducting 2d. per thous an d from them. He was taking a piecer off, and the n o ti ce wouIdAOPERATIVEn at ar Wed nesday essr night.

We have not been to him, and wo don't intend going to him. (Laugh' cr and applause.) • An OPRATIVE at Hanover Mills—Last Wednesday night the manager gave notice of a reduction of 2d. per 1,000, or to stop in 14 days. There has been no shop meeting since the notice, nor any agreement, and every one seems determined to come out. I hope they will come out, like cocks. (Laughter and cheers.) An OPERATIVE at Messrs. Price and Clarke's mill said they were told there last Wednesday that if things did not take a turn in the next fortnight the hands would have tl take something less. An OPERATIVE at Messrs. Kelly and Gilmour's mill said —Makin has given us notice he will take 2d. per thousand off, and we are determined to come out neat Thursday w. ek, every one of us. (Cheers.) An OPERATIVE at New Islington Mills said—They have taken 2d. off us here. Where there has not been a Nlcorme.—Mr. E. Smith, anxious to make the spectacle I nstructive as well as amusing to the patrons of this Theatre, has obtained, at considerable trouble, the Description of the ( hand Egyptian Coronation Procession, arranged and adapted to this stage by " Dykwynkyn," from the works of Clemens, li erodotus, Strabo, Plutarch, Diodorus Siculus, Jablonski, l'ePsius, Demon, Champolion, Rosellini, Savory, Wilkinson, teod other authorities in the British Museum, the publishing .0 which may prove interesting to the numerous patrons wit 'aessing the spectacle, and can bi had in the Theatre for one penny.

The festivals in honour of Apis lasted 7 days, on which occasion a large concourse of 1 1 T ) Ple assembled at Memphis—the priests led the Sacred 1- flnfi.:,) Bull in solemn procession, every one coining forward i .,'"ru their houses to welcome him. Pliny and Solinus affirm -nat children who smelt his breath were thought thereby The steam-frigate Satellite, having been coppered, will be removed from the basin-dock at Davenport and taken to Keyham-dock to be fitted with machinery. The screw steam-yacht Pleiad, Captain Monson, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday from the Mediter ranean, touching at Gibraltar on the 17th ult. Off Lisbon, on the Ist inst., she observed a raft of varnished spars ; and on Sunday, half-way across the Bay of Biscay, saw a large paddle-wheel three masted steamer, with white boxes and two funnels, under steam only, steering south-west, supposed to be a mail packet. The paddle-wheel steamer Dee, Master-Commander Pullen, has arrived at Woolwich from Portsmouth, and is to be laden with machinery. The Merlin, Captain Sullivan, whose surveying ser vices in the Baltic have proved of so much importance, was yesterday morning received into the dry dock at Woolwich, to undergo a complete overhaul. She takes the place of the Hesperus, now ready for sea. T,htWildfire, an iron barque-rigged schooner ' has -Wm purchased by the Government. She arrived yes terday at Woolwich, and lies off the dockyard ready for the transport service. Lieutenant G. F. H. Parker is appointed to the Duke of Wellington, and Lieutenant Douglas Walker to the Polyphemus. We are requested to state that the health of the Hon. Oliver W. M. Lambert, whose appointment as lieute nant to the Sanspareil was announced yesterday, is such as to render it impossible that he should join the Sans pareil, or any other ship. Contracts were entered into, at the Royal William Victualling-yard, Plymouth, on Wednesday, for the supply of 3,000 quarters of wheat—viz., Messrs. Collier, Brothers, 1,000 at 85s. ; 500, at 85s. 9d. ; Frean, Daw, and Serpell, 600 at 85s. 9d. ; and Fox, Sons, and Co., 500 at 85s. 9d., and 400 at 84s. 3d. A patent has very recently been granted to a Mr. Bertram, a practical engineer employed in the dockyard at Woolwich as foreman of the factory. His invention consists of a perfectly new and more economical process of firmly joining together slabs of sheet-iron work for the purposes of making boilers, building ships, and erecting bridges, &a., without the nse of rivets. This novel method of welding the iron, instead of joining it by the rough means hitherto in use—that of riveting, is carried out by fusing the two edges of the plates to be adhered, and striking them simultaneously on both sides. By this means the structure is rendered naturally lighter, and much stronger. Some experiments have been tested by order of the Lords of the Admiralty, in presence of the officers of the Dockyard at Woolwich, who are autho rised to report thereon. The result of their deliberations will shortly be made known. It has been hitherto con sidered impossible to make an unlimited surface of iron ; hence the system of riveting has been so far perpetuated, but is now about to be superseded by this invention. The greater requirements of strength now necessary, as evinced by the numerous boiler explosions and the de fectiveness of the riveting system in shipbuilding, which does not admit of the strength required, gave Mr. Ber tram the idea that some important improvements might be made available, and thus far his exertions have suc ceeded, so as to warrant the belief that his new system will be universally introduced where the old principle has so long been found faulty, and through which such innumerable accidents have occurred. reduction in money it has been taken in another way, aid we are coming out to-morrow night. We could not stand it any longer. (Cheers and laughter.) An OPERATIVE at Messrs. Birley's—Our manager came and told us he would not go on past Thursday night at present prices, but he did not say what he wanted off. An OPERATIVE at Mr. Bowler's mill said.they had re- ceived 14 days' notice there, which would expire to-mor- • row (Thursday) night. After that neither party was to give or require notice, so that the employer could either go upon short time at once or not, as he liked. The CHAIRMAN said several inquiries had been made as to what was doing at Messrs. Pooley's mill, and per haps this would be the time to get it out. An OPERATIVE—The notice is withdrawn. The CHAIRMAN—Is all the reduction withdrawn I ' (Loud cries of "No.") Another OPERATIVR—No, we are to work without piecers. The CHAramAN thought there should be a candid state ment respecting Pooley's. Some of the strongest firma in Manchester seemed determined to take a slice off the working man's wages, and it was for the men to deter mine whether they would submit. Sifted with the power of predicting future events. The tokens Which distinguished this Sacred Bull at its birth were a white !Pot resembling a crescent on its right side, and a lump under Lta tongue in the form of a beetle, as pretended by the priests. he People believed him to be the cause of the swelling and "Muiclation of the Nile, which produced fertility and abund- Ittl eo, and celebrated his festival at about the period of this nnuual occurrence with every demonstration of rejoicing and ttetal abandonment to the intoxication of joy all over the .41 4 ,1 - 0 1.11. Many temples were erected and dedicated to Apis," and also to " Serapis," the divinity of the Column V Measurement—the Nilometer t N.B. The decorations of the drapery upon the bull and carriage are principally com. Posed of the first flowers that spring from the earth after the recession of the flood—i.e., the Lotus and Meliolotus. Priests l ith the pretended God " C ano p us, " or W a t er Off er i ng to the God of the Nile. " It is said that the Chaldeans, trans- Perting the fire, which was their God, into all the provinces, o ffered to let him combat with those of other nations, t)11 condition that if ho remained the conqueror they should adore him. The priests of Canopus accepted the challenge and devised this stratagem. They fabricate in E,gypt pitchers of an ixtrentely porous earth, th roug h w hi c h th e wa t e r filtrates and s purified. The Arch-priest took one of them, stopped the Peres with wax, and painting it of various colours filled it with W ater, and ma d e i t hi s god. He covered it with the head of ;ancient statue, said to be that of the pilot of Menelaus. S I P Chaldean presented themselves ;. the contest began; ey lighted their fires around the vase ; the wax melts, the wa ter runs through the vase and, ex tinguishes the fire. The mud of the priest gave the victory to Oanopus over the Chaldean deity. From that moment his imago has been re- P r esented with very short feet, a narrow back, and the belly he back' rounded like a pitcher.

Smother OPERATIVE at Pooley's said they had discharged all the spinners, and when they altered *Omit** they took ld. off. When they gels the taajorlq of the frames a-gate, with only Dne in the wheel-house, they took another 2d. off, or 3d. per thousand out of Is. 6C; but they gave the men a doffer extra. The speaker added that there had been an intimation that if the reduction proposed in other mills were accepted by the hands, they (Messrs. Pooley) would have to take off something more; but they would let it stand until the others were settled. The CHAIRMAN asked whether Poeley's men were satisfied with the system ; and the speaker replied that although there had been a reduction in the mill gene rally, the wages of the minders were increased—at least, he could speak for himself—from 4s. to ss. per week. When there were two in a wheel-house, they earned 18s. or 19i. a week ; but now, with one, they got 21s. or 255. (Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes. " ) The CHAIRMAN contended that the work could not be carried on with one in each wheel-house ; he knew from experience that it was too hard. What speed had been taken off ?

A Voice—No, seven. The CaAmax appealed to the meeting whether they would stand by their previous declarations, that they would not work without placers. So long as Messrs. Pooley continued to work with one in a wheel-house, with what grace could the hands go to Messrs. Kennedy and say that they would not do the same ? If the thing was wrong it should be stopped ; if right, they could not refuse to do it for Messrs. Kennedy, and the great battle would be with that firm upon that point. (Cries of " Fetch 'ern out, fetch 'em out I" applause, and a recom mendation that Messrs. Pooley's hands should be brought out "as they were before," the men generally laying a "siege to the whole firm.") The chairman argued against any such proceeding, contending that the times had changed. They should seek to use legitimate not physical means with Pooley's men, and see whether they could not come to some arrangement with them. There must, at least, be shown a disposition not to be trodden down just because it was winter time and pro visions were high. A Voioe—Wre can live upon a little loaf, if we can get it ;if we can't, let's " fotch" it. (Laughter and cheers.) In reply to an observation that " No good would be done until they (Messrs. Pooley's hands) were fetched out in a body," The CHAIRMAN again urged that nothing like oompu_l sion should be attempted.

ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND . ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of tho North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel arid extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of •urusement. It is not a monologue, for tho audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front; it is not an exhibition, .'or though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing ; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex ravaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and ashionablo audiences which havo nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art Las at any time or in ally place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors he results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which ho has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on tl , e stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, ~ hat, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where- ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro cessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in 'crest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitions nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro _ . duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so _ _ easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can bo made to rap is exhibited _ . _ and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri- Nca Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the olution of the phonomeaa ; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative 'strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the mom, proved to be too much of a ques ,ion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Humo, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —" This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply anclthonestly remarked, that the money would have beetrvery acceptable to him, for ho was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired into the subject; and now Basinum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cm.- ' tainly surprising to and such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Ryon if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping -- does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accessionto its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; hut, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when ho Ends that the Incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, ho considers it tl be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and tie mischief to which it tends. In the Oforning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard ;f the North proclaims every night--that spirit-rapping is ncthing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is in answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their séance with the siirits, in which the writer says, that " the tank (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved ab ou t i n th e mos t ex t r aordinary meaner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Broughasa's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With suck a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century . , with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" ' has actually bees advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Andorton trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will bo received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provito an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believed, than has ever Wore been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. ing, the programme being continually changed.

The progress of the People, the march of mind, and many other phrases, are common in the mouths of all ; yet it is a fact that very Eta° is done for them by the Government; and although many praiseworthy efforts are made by private individuals and the richer classes, yet they fail of coming home to the feelings and sympathies of the people. The reason is, that all those are attempts to provide for the people much that the people do not care for, and much they do not understand ; and both are .frequently clone in a way that offends the pride and self-esteem of the working classes, who are as independent in feeling as any other class in society, The consequence of this state of things is, that . the Me chanics' Institutions of Lord Brougham, the Athenmums of the rich traders of Manchester and Liverpool, and even the Crys tal Palace of Prince Albert, are failures, as far as the veritable People are concerned, who scarcely ever visit such places, where they feel themselves intruders. They mingle with classes who look down upon them, and they keep, as most classes do, to their own places of amusement and recreation, such as they are. Fairs are mostly done away with, and the boisterous mirth of such places has degenerated into scrambles for picking pockets and viler purposes. Meanwhile population goes on increasing at a tremendous rate. Every year the addition of hundreds of thousands extend the area of this huge metropolis ; and whilst allpther classes have their refining and civilising processes, the artisan alone sinks lower and lower in the scale. The class of traders has improved with every generation, and we now find their sons and daughters are more refined, have more knowledge, and better taste than had the ancestors of many lords and dukes a hundred years since. Their young men support the nume rous theatres, concerts, libraries, clubs, exhibitions, a nd in stitutions of this great town. They are well clothed and well mannered, and in all essential respects gentlemen. What a contrast is there with the artisan class, who go on from generation to generation uncared for ; and although they too have made some progress in civilisation, yet by no moans in a fair proportion. Whence this difference arises is plain to be seen. The traders' sons are not only better grounded in education, but they have numerous sources of adult education. Their wits arc sharpened at the theatres, their minds are cultivated at the various learned and literary institutions, and by mingling iu company at the Clubs and other places of resort. They thus get, what no set or scientific education can give, some refinement of manner and the elements of taste. _ It may be said that our artisans and workmen have the same opportunities, but it is not so. It is true the civilising influence of the theatre is thrown open to them, and many take advantage of it ; but the people at large require much more than this ; and many many thousands never receive evan this influence; some by principle, and others by circum stances, being precluded. The Crystal Palace comes the nearest to a grand refining public institution ; but it is essentially removed out of the reach of the working classes, except for occasional purposes. What the people want is something that shall spontaneously attract them. Some place tvhich they eau feel is their own, some place where they are at home amongst their own friends and their own class. A place in which they can take a pride, and where they will find ease, and pleasure, and relaxation, mingled imperceptibly with refining and instructing pro cesses ; where by mixing with men of all tempers and capa cities, they will acquire manners, and by associating with portions of art, acquire refinement and taste. No such attempt has yet been made. Hospitals have been built for the sick ; mechanics' institutes for abstract studies ; schools for the ignorant; but nothing has been done to im prove the manners and the tastes of the great body of the people ; and this we maintain, in spite of the British Museum and the National Gallery being thrown open to all. The wandering through museums and galleries, without other stimulants to the mind, is of little advantage, and that it is so is proved by the inadequate operation of such places on the minds of the people at large. It is a remarkable fact that the mind will remain dead to all such appeals for ages, and that it is only earnestly aroused and improved through the feelings. Thus the pulpit will do more than scientific lectures ; and theatres than dumb gal leries and overloaded museums. If, then, the people are to 'be awakened to a full develop ment of their capacities and power, they must have the moans of doing so. They must be sufficiently informed and culti vated to become a class. They must feel their own position and respect it, and they must become powerful by cohesion, and by a unity of taste and interest. Looking at i; in this point of view, the imperfectly existing amount of civilisation, and among the working classes its slow rate of progression, too plainly shows the mental state of the greatest portion of mankind. Sanitary improvementa would not be so tardy, ; mendicancy so extensive ; law so inefficient ; and true religion so partial, if the minds of mankind were fully informed, and the best feelings of the human heart were cultivated, It has been, therefore, thought by oNs who sincerely sym pathises with his own class, "The people," that a bater commencement of a new epoch, in which to arouse the popu lar intellect, could not be devised than to erect on a magni. ficent scale, GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The Directors hereby Give Notice that-they will receive Money on Loan, to pay off Debentures falling dae, and are prepared to accept.

A PEOPLE'S CLUB, to which " The people" would resort, and enjoy, amidst the elegancies of art, all that A NEWS-ROOM AND LIBRARY, on the largest and most liberal scale, could afford. For this parpose it is intended to erect, in a central position of the metropolis, A GRAND HALL, for Public Meetings, (te„ whereto, in the easiest manner, and under the cheapest terms the circimstances will allow, " The people" should be admitted to all the comfort, gratification, and conveniences that the West-end Club affords to the aris tocrat, Mr. E. T. Smith, to whom the merit of this patriotic pro ject belongs, is determined to carry it out by means of a Joint- Stook Company, established on the principle of Limited Liabi lity. He has **wady secured the assistance of several mon, whose position, talents, and national feelings will be of the greatest service to the project, and who, looking far beyond the immediate results, see iu such a project an effective means of advancing the true civilisation of all within the pale of au artificial community. As it is a project whisk has for its aim national advantages, by aiding in the improvement of the manners and morals of the people, it is one which may claim assistance from men (and women) of all professions of religion and all classes of society. The Company will commence its operations by building a spacious, handsome, and well-ventilated Hall, capable of holding at least 7,000 persons at one time, which will be de corated in an artistic style, and will have in it a large an. well-selected Library, Maps, Plans, and Engravings, and all that can illustrate the great public events of the day. Music and concerts will be occasionally introduced as mat+ tors of recreation ; and also, at certain seasons, explanatory lectures, from men of the very highest position in their va rious professions. In this respect it will seek to stand in the same relation to the working, that the Royal Society does to the aristocratic classes. Everything that can soothe the weary worker and relieve the toiling man, and at the same time invigorate the mind, w ill be devised. It is intended essentially to be a place of recreation and relief, but still conducted so that a great deal of indirect and useful information shall almost unconsciously be obtained; a place where conversation may be enjoyed, intelligence acqaired, and that social intercourse take place necessary to all sorts and conditions of men. It is estimated that for a subscription of ono shilling weekly, t h e payment of which will suit the convenience of all classes, &working man shall have access to the Library, News-room, and Lectures, and the occasional concerts, balls, and celebra tions which will be given. The funds requisite, for the erection of the necessary buildings, &c., are proposed to bo raised by means of a Joint- Stock Company with limited liability, having a capital of 115,000/., consisting of 6,000 shares, of 21. 10s. each; 105. to be paid on allotment, and the remainder by suitable instal ments during the progress of the works ; or by a subscription of one shilling weekly, at the end of twelve months a work ing man will become proprietor of a share in the building, and a vote in the direction and management of the Club. The amount of the shares is purposely fixed at so low a sum as to give working men an opportunity of becoming shareholders, and participating in the profit which, on the safest data, it has been computed must arise to the proprie tors. A per centage not exceeding 101. per 1001. will be paid to the shareholders, and all profits above that amount will be expended upon the extension of the Institution itself and its Library. Every holder of five shares will be entitled, in addition to the above per centago, to the same privileges as if ho were a personal subscriber to the Institution. Arrangements will also be made by which the wives and children of members will be admitted to all the advantges of the Institution, both for the purposes of recreation and education, on the most easy terms, A code of rules and regulations will shortly be issued by the Managing Committee, and plans of the building will be exhibited by the architects engaged. In the meantime, all applications for shares and other information are requested to bo made to Mr. E. T. Smith, Theatre Royal, Drury-lane. IN THE HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY. TRIESEMAIL—On the 29th of May, 1855, an injunction was granted by the High Court of Chancery, and on the lath June following was made perpetual, against Joseph t'ranklin and others, to restrain them, under a penalty of one thou sand pounds, from imitatinz this Medicine, which is protected by Royal Letters Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the Ecole du elearmacie de Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna. TRIESEMAR, No. 1, is a remedy for Relaxation, Spermatorrb.cea, and Exhaustion of the System, whether arising from excesses, accident, or climate. To those persons who are prevented entering the married state by the consequences of early errors it is invaluable. TRIESEMAR, No. 2, effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of those Disorders which Capivi and Cnbebs o•sve so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health of a vast portion of the population. TRIESEMAR, No. 3, is the great Continental Remedy for that class of Disorders, whicb unfortunately the English physician treats with Mercury, to the in evitable destruction of the patient's constitution, and which all the sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove . TRIESEMAR, No. 1,2, and 3, are alike devoid of taste or smell, end of all nauseating qualities. They may lie on the toilet table without their use being suspected.

This body is but a skeleton of its former strength, in consequence of the numerous draughts of volunteers which have gone over to the various regiments of the line ; but recruit ing is as active as ever, and many are enrolled. The Government have given up their intention of erecting permanent - militia barracks at Hereford, and intend only putting up wooden huts for a small com pany of men. These huts will be erected upon land pur chased for the erection of militia storerooms, the cost of the land and the storehouses being estimated at 3,0001. Wooden huts for the accommodation of 60 men are also to be erected at Haverfordwest. The Armagh Militia arrived in Cork on Tuesday from the Curragb, and are to embark on board her Majesty's screw steam-ship Perseverance, Captain Harris, for con veyance to Plymouth.

JOZEAIT'S COPAHINE, or SACCHARATED C iPSULES.—CopaIba and Cubebs are, doubtless, the best remedies, but these drugs are of a repulsive taste and odour, an'l occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric disturbance. M. JOZEATI has succeeded in rendering these valuable therapeutic agents perfectly 'nocuous, by increasing in his Copahino all their curative proper perties. This important preparation has been adopted by the Paris Academy of Medicine, after more than 1,0011 trials In the Paris and different London hospitals, viz , St. Thomas's, Buy's, and Bar tholomew s, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Legros Clerk. (See " Lancet " Nov. 6, and Dec. 10, 1852, a copy of which will be forwarded on application.)

THE ESCAPE OF A BURGLAR FROM THE MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. It will be recollected that about ten weeks ago, an at terript was made by two men to commit a burglary at the house of Mr. Hume, son of the late Mr. Joseph Hume, M.P., in Harley-street, but in doing which they were foiled, when, in descending a ladder by which they got from an adjoining house to its roof, a man named Ilarrogan fell to the ground, whose right leg was found to be fractured. He was taken to Middlesex Hospital, where ho was kept for about four weeks. He was to have been brought up to Marylebone police court, but, on the morning of the day that he was to have appeared there, he was purloined from the hospital by four men, between two and four o'clock a.m. Since then every exertion has been made by detective and other officers of the metropolitan police to retake him, who did not succeed till Wednesday afternoon, when, in consequence of information, two policemen of the C division, with Vince, D division, who was in charge of the prisoner at the hospital, went to a house in Duck lane, Westminster, where they found him in bed. He was taken to Vine-street police-station, and from there to the Middlesex Hospital, for the opinion of the surgeons when he might be brought up for examination. EXAMINATION OF THII PRISONER. Yesterday the prisoner, whose name is Jas. Rarrogan, was brought up from Middlesex Hospital in a cab, and placed at the bar, before Mr. Long, charged with hav ing, in conjunction with another man not in custody, broken into the house of Mr. Wm. Burnley Hume, 18, Upper Harley-street, with intent to steal and carryaway property therefrom. Jane Rudd, the under-housemaid, said—At half-past eight in the evening of the Bth September I was in my bedroom at the top of the house, and heard a noise. I went to the door to ascertain what was the cause thereof, and met a fellow -servant coming up stairs. I went into her room with her, and found that the window was thrown completely up. Mr. Hume sworn—At a quarter to nine on the even ing, in question I was called by my butler, and on going into the serva n t s ' room I saw that the lock had been forced open. I went out and saw two men on the roof of No. 17. I called to them, and on asking them what they wanted, they ran to the roof of No. 16, where a long ladder was placed. I observed one of the men slide down the ladder, and the oth er , w h o ran down, missed his footing and fell into the street. I found him shortly afterwards in custody of a policeman. He had in the fall broken his leg. Samuel Sharpe (the butler)—l saw the prisoner come down the ladder, and heard him exclaim, " I have broken my leg, take me to the hospital." I held him until a policeman came, and I then gave him in charge. Collard, 59 D—l took the prisoner into custody. The other man had made his escape. Prisoner, who limped very much, told me he had broken his leg, and after I had conveyed him to the station-house I took him to Middlesex Hospital. Upon looking into the vehicle, after he bad been received into the institution, I found a " life preserver," loaded at both ends with lead, a wax taper, and a lucifer match. Vince, 259 D—On 22d October, at 12 at night, I was on duty at the hospital, having been ordered to be there to keep watch upon the prisoner. He was in bed in a ward on the ground floor. At about half-past 12 the nurse said to me, " Will you have a glass of gin ?" I did so, and laid down, and at half-past one I fell asleep. I awoke between two and three o'clock and found, to my great surprise, that the prisoner had made his escape. Mr. Long (to Inspector Jackson)--Is this witness still in the force ? Inspector--Yes sir ; he has not been dismissed, but has been suspended from the period of the occurrence. The witness Vince added—l heard that the prisoner had been carried out. Search was made everywhere about the place for him, but he could nowhere be met with. It was ascertained that a lock had been taken off a door leading into a mews by the side of the hospital, and through that door the prisoner had undoubtedly been removed away. Sergeant Knight, 19 D, produced three picklock keys, which he picked up at the corner of Devonshire-street and Upper Harley-street, on the evening of the house being broken into. Siivester, 323 A, said—l, accompanied by Joy, 187, and Cole, 157 C, went yesterday to a house in Duck-lane, Westminster, and in the first floor front room found the prisoner lying on a bed. I told him he must consider him self in custody for breaking into Mr. Hume's house, and escapieg from the hopsital on the 22d, when he said he hoped I would not ill-use him, and tbat he would go quietly. I took him in a cab to the Vine-street station house, where he was seen by the divisional surgeon, by whose direction he was again taken to the hospital. Inspector Jackson said, by direction of Mr. Hughes, the superintendent, he brought the prisoner up to the court, and that on he (witness) giving :him to under stand what he was charged with, the only observation he made was, "I have sent for my solicitor ; will the case be gone through to-day ?" The prisoner, who had now nothing to say in answer to the charge, was sent in a cab to the House of Deten tion ; he will be brought up again on Thursday next. A strict investigation is going on with regard to the meal': and agency through which the prisoner's egress fro m the hospital was effected. --- We announced a few weeks since the death of the Wells Express, and we have now to include in our news paper obituary the name of the .Wells Advertiser.
