If they were not to look to that protection to which they considered they were fairly entitled, were they to sit down and do nothing to enable them to maintain their position, and to uphold that independence and integrity which the yeomanry of this county, and he believed of all England, had so long been distin guished for ?—(Cheers.) What, then, were they to look to? They were to look to that which could not slip through their hands, to the increased productive ness of the soil, which was only to be effected by im proved husbandry, by calling in the aid of chemistry, and by using the most portable, best, and cheapest manure.—(clear, hear.) It had been said by one of the umpires that there had not been so good an exhi bition of stock as there ought to have been ; but the improvement of the soil was of the first consequence, order to have superior stock, as well as an increase in the produce. They had no premiums for improving the land, and if they would allow him, he would of fer a prize for the person who should, on the largest scale, experimentalise with the greatest variety of manure.—(Cheers.) If the Committee could suggest to him the best form of regulating this, he would adopt their recommendation. lie was himself going to try the plan on a field, which he should divide into four parts, using, for the purpose of testing their dif ferent effects, bone dust, Daniel's guano, and the fold. —(" Ab, the fold, that's the best," from a farmer, which raised a laugh and loud cheers.) Mr. Moody made - scrum further - practical observations, and con eluded a manly and eloquent address amidst reiterated plaudits. F. H. DICKINSON, Esq., proposed "Prosperity to the town of Yeovil."—(Cheers.) The Hon. Member referred to what had fallen from several gentlemen, and said, with much energy, "But with respect to gloves or other articles, you must not rely upon legislative measures for prohibiting the importation of foreign produce. The course of things at pre sent is against protection, and in favour of free trade and I do not think it can be stopped; but if we cannot stem the tide, we must endeavour to assist each other by adopting improvements and all means tending to our mutual benefits. I, for one, have not such appre hension for the future, for we are a great p eo pl e , with vast resources, and I do not think we shall suffer from any trifling alteration in the laws. We are a great people, and not an artificial people, and I do not think we can mach longer continue artificial means or laws for keeping up any particular interest. I give you " Prosperity to the town and trade of Yeovil."—(Three times three.) Mr. HAmiam, being, being called on, rose to return thanks. He said he felt particularly obliged for the kind manner in which they had expressed their desire for the prosperity of that town and its trade. Per haps the best return he could make was by informing them that the great branch of their trade, the gloving, although not in a roaring state, was now much better than it was twelve months since. —(Cheers.) And he hoped, with the protection they now had, they would be enabled to compete with the foreigner.—(Hear.) It had been said that they must use exertion and adopt improvements in order to maintain their ground. lie could state that the greatest exertions were making in that town and elsewhere with this view, so that he hoped work would be found for the large population of that neighbourhood.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said the next toast on hs list was " Health and long life to Mr. Farquharson and the fox-hounds." _ . ton, a four 'ears and six months old Hereford 1:66r, bred by Mr. Josiah Dean, of Abbey Dare, Hereford shire, and fed on 800 lbs. of cake, four bushels of bean meal, grass, hay, and turnips.

" While thus earnestly pressing upon the members of the Society the importance of exerting themselves with unabated zeal to support its schools, the under signed are anxious to express their ' trust'—as in the :vear 1832 it has been already expressed by them and by their predecessors in the episcopal office, on the occasion of the first establishment of the plan of national education-- that in withholding their con currence from this system,- Alley-will not be suspected of perverse opposition to the Government in its en deavours to promote general instruction, and to heal the wounds occasioned by party and religious dis tinctions.'

CONVOCATION. %\re cannot tell whether any of our readers feel a strong desire to know the secrets of the bugbear Con vocation ; but if they do, we can assure them they have little chance of being gratified. No detailed report has yet appeared, nor is it reasonable now to expect any. Hostile listeners seem to have been care fully enough excluded ; and the friendly have their reasons for keeping quiet. Apart from their loose character, the resolutions contain only one feature worthy of peculiar notice. We ourselves have been abused, again and again, for asserting that the clergy wanted power for themselves, and, that they only talked of conceding privileges to the people with a view of more effectually securing that power. Well, what do we find as the result of this Edinburgh Convoca tion ? Why, that the Non-Intrusion clergy threaten to leave the Church, not because the Government refuses to give the people a voice in the choice of their pastors, but, because the Government refuses to relieve the clergy from the salutary control of the Civil Courts ! " The undersigned are desirous now, as formerly, to 'give just 'credit to the intentions of her Mijesty's Government' in supporting the plan of national edu cation, although the resolution adopted on th e p ar t o f her Majesty'sf Ministers will make it needful to per severe in a temperate, but not on that account l e ss effectual, appeal to the friends'of the Church Educa tion Society to keep up its schools. At a time, there fore, when increased efforts to make known the claims of the Society throughout the country are rendered more necessary than ever, the undersigned wish to convey to,all who are :to be engaged in the discharge of this duty, their decided judgment that 'their advocacy of the Society will be most in har mony with its principles and character, and will best promote its true interests, when it is founded upon the' objects of the Society, • and • its necessities, . with out drawing aid from any of the exciting.or irritating topics which the disappointment of the friends of the Society might suggest. " With this recommendation the undersigned wil lingly leave it to the General Committee and the several Diocesan Societies to devise and take such measures as they may deem best calculated to advance the interests of the Society, and they cannot but hope that, when the claims and wants of the Society are thus calmly and dispassionately brought forward, under circumstances which make 'it entirely depen dent upon voluntary subscriptions of the members of the Church, it will receive a measure of support more commensurate with the great work that it has to carry on, than it has hitherto obtained. But with what ever degree of success it may seem good to Almighty God that their efforts should be attended, the under signed, and those whom they address through you, will still enjoy the happy assurance that they are acting according to his will in persevering steadily in their labours to maintain the honour of His Holy Word, and to train the children committed to their care in the principles of the Church to which it is their privilege to belong.

From time immemor;al Linseed has been proverbial for its virtues in the cure of Coughs and Colds ; but previous to the discovery of the present Chemical Essence, it was merely used in the form of tea, and its benefit comparatively limited. This Essence contains all the medicinal properties of Linseed in a highly concentrated form, combined with other medicinals and herbs, producing the most certain and efficacious remedy for Coughs which has yet been discovered. Children's Coughs, as recent. ones in Adults, will be re moved by a few doses of Simco's Essence of Linseed (frequently by the first) ; old standing Chronic Coughs may require per severance, but they ultimately yield to its curative powers. Asthmatic persons, who previously had not been able to lie down in bed, haze received the utmost benefit, and others suf fering from Influenza have been speedily cured by this valuable medicine.

Luton, Bedfordshire, Oct. 19, 1841. SIR,-1 feel desirous of expressing to you the great benefit which / have received from the use of ' , lair's out and Rheumatic Pills, I have for several years been afflicted with Rheumatism and Gout, the attacks of which were excessively severe. During one of these pain ful visitations a kind friend presented me with a box of Blair's Pills, from the use of which I found immediate relief, and very soon en tirely recovered. At a subsequent perio4 I was so severely attacked that 1 thought it would he unwise to delay placing myself under me dical care. 1 did so; but not finding the relief which 1 expected, I again became my own physician. At this time my legs and thighs were swelled to a very great extent. I immediately procured a box of Blair's Pills from Mr W. Phillips, your agent in this town, and after taking wo doses I was free from pain, and the swelling subsided. I now netve' fail to use them whenever I am attacked by this painful malady, and they invariably give me relief after one or two doses. Several of my acquaintances use them, and experience the same be nefit. I trust you will insert this among your list of cases, as lam anxious to bear witness to the efficacy of this excellent medicine. am, Sir, yours, respectfully, Sugar Loaf, London Road, Luton. RICHARD STONE. The never.failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every de cription of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They no:. only give relief in a few hours, Al here the patient has bean driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but restore to perfect health in an incon ceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affection ; in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there Is mita city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence.

" Oh, but," it will be argued by some of the weak and confiding lay adherents of the wild party, " the clergy would be sure to use thi4 independence of the civil power for the purpose of carrying out Non-Intrusion! They would give the congregations the choice of their pastors at once." Would they ? Have they shown any great desire to carry out honestly the wishes of the laity ?—or, rather, have the',v not, from first to last—from the original ex ception to the Veto Act, in the case of presentation by Presbyteries, to their latest alteration, which gives them the power, in certain cases, of disregarding the opinion of the majority of the parishioners—exhibited a firm determination to turn and twist their pretended concessions to popular influence into a means of cle rical aggrandisement ? Dr. Chalmers, in advocating the liberum arbitriurn, did nothing more than honestly avow the real intentions of the whole party. But even if we were assured that, for a time and to some extent the clergy would use their independ encti to promote Non-Intrusion, what security have we that they v7ould not make it available for other and worse purpose' ? Their intermeddling, for the last few years back, w:;th coaches, railways, steamers, news-rooms, and other temporal matters—and all on spiritual grounds t oo ,—gives too much reason to believe that, if they were " relieved of their sub jection to civil control," they would find means to create more ill-feeling and promote more mischief, than would be counterbalanced by the full realisation of the brightest picture they ever drew of a land abounding in Non-Intrusion piety. No; the clergy want power for themselves—they have often avowed it—but certainly never more plainly than in their Edinburgh resolutions.—Aber deen Herald. INTRODUCTION OF CHRIS TIANIT Y INTO OTAHEITE. Seldom had ~ m y enterprise commenced under au spices more favourable, or that could promise more certain or speedy success to its authors, than the in troduction of Christianity into Otaheite ; and yet, after the labours, sacrifice, and inxiety of twelve years, it arrived at a termination alike c,". tieir native land ;sastrous and fruit less. The missionaries had left t, to save the remnant of an inter,• , sting people from destruction, and to promote t.:heir, tem poral as well as spiritual welfare. L'.ll' not withstanding their utmost endeavours, they had seen the process of depopulation urged on with a fearful rapidity, by causes which, though they re-' gretted them, they could neither diminish nor con trol ; and amidst anarchy, bloodshed, and all the other horrors of barbarian warfare, they were ultimately driven from the field where they had trtatted to gain a triumph for :the Gospel and the benio spirit of civilisation. There were many grounds to conclude that, during the time the mission had existed in Otaheite, the experiment of raising a savage , people to the rank of a Christian community had bet nn tried and completely foiled; and the result, according to the ordinary grounds of calculation, might be sup posed to demonstrate the impropriety of exi ending more labour or money upon an object for the accom plishment of which it might be asserted thht the time had not yet come. But as the darkest hour of night is that which precedes the dawn of a new day, so the gloom now cast over the mis sionary cause was about to be followed by a brighter light than had yet shone upon their exertions in the South Sea. Pomare, who felt that when the Eu ropean settlers left his shores, one of principal means of improvement had been withdraNN n from his people, no sooner saw affairs in a som eNN What more settled state, then, in the most earnest manner, he invited them to return. He was still, indeed, an exile in Eimeo, excluded from his paternal dominions, and, consequently, had less . ' power than formerly either to protect them from t longer, or to aid their endeavours for spreading ci vilisa' tion among his subjects. It is doubtful, too ' w l , tether his favourable thoughts towards the Chi i s tia.n brethren ought to be ascribed to his lot 3 verses, and to an impression thereby produc ed i n n regard to the inefficacy of idol-worship for obt air ing ;supernatural aid ; or whether adversity did not lead him to reflect on the declarations he had so often heard respecting the true God, an dto connect his present condition with a sinful life, of which he had not yet seriously repented. But whatever may have been the motive, there is no do nibt that his fallen estate had subdued his spirit,, and at the same time weakened the influence which his native su perstition had till then exercised over his heart. In the autumn of 1811, the missionaries left their re treat in New Holland, and set sail for the Georgian Is les, the original scene of their labours. They joined th .e I( ing in Eimeo, where they now established a school, far as circumstances would permit, resumed th e i r wonted course of instruction in public and in private. It was not long before their pious efforts w ere rewar , ded by a signal tri um ph o f th e Ch r i s ti an f a ith over I ; h e ab surdities and so of idolatry.

HARROW-ON-THE-HILL, DEC. 3.—The exa minatio for the Scholarship founded by Mr. J. N, 3eld, was announced this morning by the Examiner';, the Rev. J. A. Frere and Mr. A. J. B. Hope, to ha nated in favour of the Hon. P. Smythe, so) lof 'Pis count Strangford. Next in order were Gre at, L aw• son, Day, Ripley, and Bushby. (Abridged from the Dorset County Chronicle.) The exhibition of prize cattle, and annual dinner of the Society took place on Friday last, in Yeovil, and the town was very full of the neighbouring gentry and ;yeomanry. William Pinney, Esq., of Lyme, was the Chairman, and presided on the occasion with much good humour, tact, and judgment. He was supported, on his right, by T. D. Acland, Esq., M.P., G. Harbin, Esq., T. Hoskins, Esq., and C. A. Moody, Esq.; on his left by F. H. Dickinson, Esq., M.P., E. A. Sanford, Esq., W. L. White, Esq., and Sealy Bridge, Esq. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing, after the usual loyal toasts, "The Members for the County," said that he differed with his honourable relative and friend on political subjects, but really there had become such a wonderful coincidence of opinion, of late, upon ques tions of the greatest importance—(Laughter)—that he hoped the time would come when the Chairman of a public meeting, in prefacing this toast, would be able to do so without the danger of exciting diffe rences of opinion.—(Hear, hear.) He gave them the Members of the County, especially Mr. Acland and Mr. Dickinson .—(Three times three.) T. D. ACLAND, Esq., M.P., rose, and was loudly applauded. He thought that this was not a time for political discussion, but custom had placed upon those who- were honoured with else.high and important dis s tinction of being their represenfives, the duty of doing something more than merely to express their thanks, when their healths were drank in a public assemblage of their constituents, although they were not, on such occasions as the present, to argue in favour of their opinions, or in support of the party with whom they had generally acted as public men.—(Hear, hear.) He was not, then, about to argue in defence of his po litical opinions, or in support of the present Govern - ment ; but as times had somewhat changed, he would say that he bad come there to meet them with the same independence as he met them when, at their call, he was placed in the position he now fined ; and whatever might occur, he should hereafter maintain the same independent course, exercising his deliberate judgment upon all questions which might come under his consi deration. He was not there to defend his opinions, or to argue in favour of the present Government, but his he would say, that he was ready to defend his conduct in having given his independent support to the present Government generally, although the time might come when he might feel it to be his duty to act otherwise. He would not allude to all the measures of the late Government, but would confine himself to those ques tions affecting that particular interest, agriculture, with which the present meeting was connected— (Hear, hear)—and he would say that he had advisedly supported the Government on these measures, from the conviction that, in these • times, no class of the community ought to wish or expect to have such pro tection as was injurious to other classes, and to the general interests of the country ; and it was his opi nion that all these questions should be met with great consideration and with moderation by all parties.— (Hear.) But he would observe that they must not rely too much , uponi the Legislature( for What was called protection against foreign competition, for the time was come when the best security for all interests was in increased intelligence and perseverance, so that they might produce the best articles at the lowest rate. This might be taken to apply alike to agricul ture and to manufactures, for these were not times when hny class could safely rest upon their oars, but all must endeavour. if they would withstand foreign competition, to produce the best article at the lowest. price. He hoped that whatever changes had taken place, or might take place--he did not know of any further changes in contemplation—they would, look ing to the balance of interests, work for the good of all.—(Hear.) He knew his own ignorance too well to come there to talk to them of practical agriculture : he knew but little of agricultural matters; he wished he knew more; but they must rest on improvement, as must other interests, and 'not on legislation. He was glad to see such meetings as these, the objects of which were to improve their stock and produce by ex citing emulation—from the great breeder and farmer down to the poor cottager who competed for vegeta bles, and to whom, although this Society he believed did not, some of the other Societies did, give rewards. He was a supporter of such Societies, because he was convinced that *ley tended to the benefit of all con cerned in agriculture, and to the good of the country. F. H. DICKINSON, Esq., M.P., rose and was cheered by the company. As to his conduct in Parliament, he had taken that course which he intended to take on being sent as one of their representatives. He had considered it to be his duty to take an independent course, recollecting that he was not the representa tive of local interests only, but the representative of all England. He felt it to be his duty to support the Queen's Government on all occasions when he could consistently do so, but in this he had acted indepen dently, exercising his best'judgment upon all ques tions, and voting accordingly. It might be that many differed from him, but if such was the case generally, the remedy was in their own hands, and he should never feel animosity against any man should he be called upon to relinquish the position he now proudly occupied.—(Hear, hear.) It would, however, be most gratifying to him to have their good opinion, and he hoped when they saw that the late measures of the present Government were not attended with those disastrous consequences which many anticipated, they would be more agreed, and he should have their approval. Mr. SANFORT), on rising to return thanks for his health being drunk, was greeted with loud applause. It was impossible, after what had taken place that e-vening, not to make an observation or two ; but he would do it with that kind feeling which had been evinced by his friends.—(Hear.) It was true that himself and his honourable friends did differ—he might almost say, had differed —and on subjects of the great est importance; but if they differed, they were equally independent. God forbid that the representation of this great county should ever be placed in the hands of men who would not act with the utmost independ ence—(Cheers) --and no one would apply to the name of Acland or Dickinson anything that was not allied to independence.—(Hear, hear.) He had no doubt that his honourable friends, their representatives, had taken a conscientious course, and had done what they believed to be best for the country ; nor did he doubt that, had they before seen cause for entertaining the opinions they had now expressed, they would have manfully avowed those opinions.—(Hear, hear.) He was not disappointed at what had taken place, nor at what friends ; he expected this change, ha d fallen from is but he must say h it had come a little sooner than he expected. — (Laughter.) He now came among them as an independent man,_ having no re sponsibility upon him as a public character, and as such he would say to them, place no reliance on pro. tection whatever.—(Sensation.) Mr. Sanford, with considerable warmth and energy, exclaimed—" I will say again, place no dependence on any legislative pro tection, but trust more to yourselves ; for if you trust to protection for the future, you will, I am firmly persuaded, trust to a reed that will bruise you.— (Increased n any thing too strongly savourin g of politics , b ut I feel that ) I ress to hope y I have not said ou, when I receive so u my honest convictions; and as one I t s o a t ieo express 'nt upon agriculture for all I possess, I to you what I would say to my own ihwjalvocelhi only nl k d i ye n p d se a n ni e kindness, s e t ena nts were I sitting with them at my own table.— (Cheers.) If I have said anything I ou ght not to have said, I am ready to admit that I do feel heated with the subject."—(Ap plause.) He then pro ceeded to a dd i apologise.—(No, no.) I address the meeting upon draining, agrieul g tu ra with sulojnectsle and strongly re commended eases. It had been said h not altogether agree with that, and would ask if i t c t e pu a would not be much 'b etter done by the tenant , w ho should have a long le ase to counterb alance t he outla y . eed d ly raining was the landl or d' s wor k ; h e did The CHAIRMAN said there was a gentleman present who was to succeed h to him in the Chair next year, and he was most happy resign the offi ce into such able hands ; he proposed " " The health of Mr. M o ody. C. A. MOODY, Esq., rose to return thanks amidst the plaudits of the assemblage. He believed these Societies were useful, especially in times like these, when it must be admitted that they had difficulties to contend with, which imposed upon them all a more than usual measure of self - denial.:---(Hear.) With out desiring to magnify it on the one hand, or to make light of it on the other, he could not but look upon the present state of thin d g s as an agricultural crisis.—(H indeed Such was the state of the agricultural interest, that he feared, unless an altera tion tools place, it must terminate in a re-adjustment of existing engag e ments, and_ in a r e l axa ti on t o wards the tenant, by those holding the land, and who, he doubted not, would have the good sense to concede it. —(Hear.) He had been unexpectedly called on, and was not prepared wi th particular obser v ati on s, but he would endeavour to make some use of what had fallen from those who had preceded him. It had fallen from one gentleman, who he was happy to see among them, that they were not, as agricUlturists, to look to pro- Captain HARBIN was loudly called on, and returned thanks with the spirit of a true sportsman. He some what differed from his friend, Mr. Sanford, on the sub ject of draining, which he considered absolutely neces sary ; it was most essential, and the great improvement to be looked to, but he did consider draining to be the landlord's work.—(Cheers.) He considered it be longed to the landlord, because it was a permanent improvement of the property of the country.—(Hear, hear.) lie did not think, in these times, that the farmer could, with fairness to himself and family, lay out the amount required for draining. They must all give and take.—('- Ah, that's all we want," from a farmer, which occasioned a laugh.) Let the land lords, then, look the matter in the face at once ; let them not delay, but advance their capital and drain their lands.--(" Suppose they have not got the capi tal," from Mr. Acland.) In cases where there were trustees, and not capital sufficient, a provision had been made, by law, to effect the draining of their lands. Let the landlords, he still said, drain their lands, and then, as to long leases, he did not think there would be any necessity for leases at all ; for with a good understanding he hoped they might all live and prosper, notwithstanding the gloom that now hung over them.—(Cheers.) Mr. ACLAND said that he was neither a landlord nor a tenant, yet his father was, and had a great many tenants ; but he had two secrets, one was, to get good tenants, and the other, when he had them, to take care to keep them.—(Loud cheers.) With re spect to draining, it might often happen that the land lord was not possessed of surplus capital; those w h o had been much engaged in contested county elec tions, for instance, could not be expected to have much capital. They must all endeavour to do the best they could, but let them not begin by turning off their labourers.—(Cheers.) He would give them an old toast, but a good one, "Live and let live." Shortly afterwards the Chairman left the room amidst loud cheers, and the party broke up. SMITHFIELD CLUB PRIZE CATTLE SH OW.

MR. KIRK'S GLACIARIUM. The private view of this remarkable project opened yesterday at Portman-square, having, it appears, been transferred from the Colosseum. A full company added to the picturesqueness of the scene which, on entry, attracted the eye. Consisting of three thousand feet of artificial ice, a frozen lake extends over the surface of the floor, actual in its veri similitude with the same thing in nature. If it lack any thing in this respect, it is only the aqueous trans parency of the original body, which here, perhaps, as sumes the appearance of a dense marl, over which the snow drift seem to have passed. This smooth expanse- receives • the strait admirably. Fastening on the polished steel, you can run a race with wing-footed Mercury up and down its extent ; or, if in clined to more courteous movement pursue the evolu tions of the dance, or the animated gestures of the gym nast. Absolute security also is its undeniable character istic. The separation from peril only by twd-inch brittle crystal—the dread of immersion in unknown deptlts_ —the fear of something worse than cold-water spe, cifics, or a more than innocent baptism in the Preiss nitzian fashion—have no place in the thoughts of a Glaciarium skaiter. In truth, all the recommendatory qualities of the sport attach to his pleasure, devoid of drawback. Nimbleness of foot, vigour of motion, 0-ratification from enjoymnt, enhance his amnse bmc nt, without that sense of danger experienced on the undulating glass of the Serpentine, or other sheets of water that crack beneath his path. Free, too, from assailance of the weather, no sleet spits in his face, no east wind chills him to the bone, but h e g lid es a l ong in mirth and _recreation, with the th ermome t er at spring temrerature, while beneath him, spreads for sport, the winter ice of the Arctic. Mr. Kirk should stand a fair ch ance o f depopulat ing the parks. Chemistry has made him acquainted with a substance no less singular than novel. An amalgamation chiefly composed of carbonates of soda, having, subsequently to its liquid state, undergone a rapid crystallization, has enabled him to lay down a species of extensive ice-plat, smooth as a metal mirror, and fitted to please the heart of the subtlest skaiter, were he of the Baltic seas or Polar. The ensemble of the gallery or apartment is ren dered complete in detail by its cast of ornamental de sign. One side of the room is barricaded off by rail ings for spectators. Alpine scenery enriches the other three. From the base or borders of the lake rise grottoes, decorated like Calypso's. Beyond these, and forming 'poition of the landscape, spiry steeple, Swiss auberge, and low-thatched cottage, vary the architec tural groupings of the. scene. Further in perspective, peaks:and snow hills mingle with the sky, indistinct and shadowy; while in the intervening va'es :.al ra vines the light blue mists steam up in aerial sofsness. Even the ceiling is made to add to the general effect, faint and pale, as if lit by winter suns. Imagine the scene transferred to Zurich, cr a lake of the Cantons, and the picture, as beheld yesterday, is exactly to be realised. A brilliant noon in winter— figures in animated and skilful movement—good.. humour, ready for a jest, and ripe for a laugh —with out rain, drifts, or freezing mercury—et la voila !

ACCIDENT AT ---- THE HAYMARICET THEITRE.—A few minutes after twelve eolock, on Saturday night last, as a man named George Byng was putting out the lights in the second tier of boxes at the Haymar ket Theatre—the performances having terminated and the audience retired—he overbalanced himself and fell head foremost into the pit. The noise caused by his falling upon the seats brought other persons who were engaged at different parts of the theatre to the spot, where he was discovered lying in a state of insensibility with a large wound in his forehead. Ima gining that he was either dead or dying, a stretcher was procured, and he was conveyed to Charing. cross Hospital, where he was attended by Mr. More, the house-surgeon, who quickly discovered that ani mation mas only suspended, and with the aid of re storatives and other means he was in a short time brought to a sense of consciousness ; and the wound in his head having been dressed, and his wrist, which had been sprained, having been . attended to, to the I surprisesignified of hi thoses intentionto t o the his o n hospital, hn 1 n h e e , which he actually did without any assistance, after ‘vlio c o o f n p v r e o 3 c red eedi lliP n; having sustained so frightful a fall. THE RUMOURED ACCIDENT TO LORD HATIIERTON. —ln consequence of a statement which appeared in one of the local papers, of a serious accident having happened to the above Noble Lord while out shooting in Staffordshire, by one of the party discharging the contents of his gun accidentally in his Lordship's hire, a number of inquiries have been made by the Noble Lord's friends at his mansion in Grosvenor-place, and 'the answer was, that his Lordship was quite well; and at the time of the alleged accident he had left Teddesley for town for a few days, no such accident having occurred.
