It can ha seen ready for imme diate wear, in every size, at 114, 116, and 120, REGEAT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, bat A partial list of the new Sardinian Ministry ap peared yesterday, in which, however, the most im portant name, that of GIOBERTI, was omitted. In the evening sitting of the Chamber . of De puties, on the 28th, the President of the Chamber made the following st❑tement to the House relative to the deputation they had sent to his MAJESTY : " The deputation has had an audience of his MA JESTY, and assured him that the representatives of the nation will render him all the assistance the nation can afford to bring to an end the great work com menced by his father, whose memory will always dwell in the hearts of his people and of all who value their national independence. The KING thanked the deputation for their kind expressions, and en tered into some details of the late disastrous cam paign, and enumerated certain corps who nobly conducted themselves. He stated that his father, CHARLES ALBERT, had considered it his duty to ab dicate, as the heavy conditions imposed by the enemy almost broke his heart. The KING added, I have already obtained those conditions to be much less onerous than at first proposed; and I shall do all that I possibly can to procure a further mitigation of them: The KING finally expressed his anxiety for the in dependence of the country, and said that on this point he would not depart from the policy of his father.- The Royal Children walked and rode out u usual •e~terday. The royal dinner party - yesterday, at Buckingtium Palxce, included larr Royal Ilightteas the Duch i ts of lit nt, the Duchess of 6utherlat,d, Lady Augubta Bruce, and the Earl of Catrlisle. HunEn has *rived at Bourges, and surrendered himself to take his trial, which, however, will not take place until the trials of the other prisoners shall have been concluded. The motive which in duced him to surrender was to prove the falsehood of the accusation which had been brought against him, that he bad been a spy in the pay of Louis PHILIPPE. The leader of the war party in the Turin Chamber, Baorrinto, has arrived at Lyons. From the following announcement, which appears in the semi-official Patric, it would appear as though NAPOLEON the President were prepared to quietly sacrifice the advantages obtained for France by NA POLEON the N Consul, and to accept ovarra as a set-off against Marengo. The Turin correspondent of the Ministerial journal says : _ LIURSUANT to a DECREE of the HIGH COURT of CHANCERY, made ix a cause READ v. STRANGWAYS, the Creditors of the Right Honourable and Rev. WALTER HUTCHINSON LORD ASTON, late of Tardebigg, in the county of Worcester, Clerk, deceased, who died in the month of January, 1845, are by their Solicitors, on or before the 10th day of April, 1849, to leave their claims of debts before WILLIAM BRoconam, Esq., one of the Masters of the said Court,.at his Office in South ampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, London, and are, on or before the 21st day of April, 1849, to establish such claims, before the said Mas ter, or in default thereof they will be peremptorily excluded the benefit of the said Decree and the general Orders of the said Court. 10.

Just published, the supplement to the " Post Office London Directory for 1849," which, in addition to the mere supplemewal matter, contains the " Postal " and " Parliamentary Directories exactly as in the complete work. As the Supplement extends to upwards of an hundred closely-printed Imperial Octavo pages, it is sold at nearly the same proportionate price as the " PoSt Office Loudon Directory " itself, which, as stated in an able Review of the book for the cur ent year, published in the " Times" on the 30th of November last, " is necessarily a bulky volume ; but its bulk, contrary to the general rule, is an advantage, and it may be said to contain no superfluous pages whatever." The " Post Moe Lou don Directory " is, beyond all comparison, the cheapest work which is , ues from the p ess, taking mere size into consideration, and without reference to the various classifications, and other matters too numer, , us to be detaihd here. This Directory was characterized by the " Examiner," of the 16th of December last, as a " perfect marvel of arrangement, accuracy, and fulness of intorniation." And the " Morning Herald" of the 30th of the previous month, likewise re viewing the " Post Office London Directory for 1549," described it as " an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great Britain, laughing rivalry to scorn." The " Supplement" now published at the price of one shilling, contains the " Postal Directory," furnish- TIM NICOLL—A patented garment and pos sessing this peculiarity, that whilst in its exterior it preserves every characteristic of ho Registered Paletot, it can, by simply detaching an inner li ing, be conver ed from a warm to a light 0 ercoat, or vice versa, at th, pleasure of the wearer. This same inner lining, IA hen detached, of itself forms a most comfortable reading or dre , sing jacket. There ore many other a ivanta.res con allied in THE NICOLL, rendering it as a garment a most valuable adjunct in a variable cimate, also for travelling, &c., but it should be seen and wo - n to be fairly appreciated, but it can be had in Lon don only at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, Brown's Gas Framwell Gate Hotspur l4s Od Northumberland Percy Bensham l3s 9d MIDDLESEX._ N EW METROPOLITAN BUILDING ACT, 7 and 8 Viet., C. 84.

The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle m , rtality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security Of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a Specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER , lIIP FOLIC' ES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in 'tested.

This lady had the following letter inserted In th e " Ti me " paper on Aug. 7, If 46 . Reader, rememb er , this letter 3 new . -- was the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony tom e . put In, " Mrs. Weekley, of N o. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this Door ° unity of publicly than kin g Mr. W. Grimstone, or the llerbary,lliiii: rate for the egleacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having e on , pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeard. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to"the virtues of Mr. G.'s itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in alaind ence, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak , or turnin g grey, te w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most dilcate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion t 3 the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour teu or twelve drops on the erown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplicatiens. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre- vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

Comniander Nolloth, arrived at Spithead on Sunday, and yesterday morning she ran into harbour, and went alongside the yard jetty. She had not seen the St. Vincent since the day after she left Gibraltar; and it supposed that ship went into Lis bon. On the evening of the 18th the Reynard made signal to the Plumper that she was disabled, and on the Plumper going down to her she found she had carried away the shaft of her engine. 'The Plumper took the Reynard in tow and brought her along at the rate of 5} knots per hour. She afterwards cast the Reynard off, and the Plumper also became disabled by carrying away one of the fans of her screws short off close to the axle. So that both steamers had to depend on their sails, and in the night they parted company. Some experiment was made by using the Plumper's screw with one fan, and with it, by working the engine on the third grade tit - expansion, she made a rate of upwards of five knots, but the screw worked irregularly and made a jerking motion. She had sailed all the way home, having to contend against strong north-east winds the whole dis tance. She will require some alterations and repairs, with a new screw, the former one was set at too great a pitch, which may account for its breaking. The wire lower rigging has not been found to answer well. It has required setting up no less than seven times since the cruise commenced, destroying a quantity of the lan yards; while the forestay—a hemp rope—has only re quired pulling up twice. The Plumper carries a great deal of weather helm, so that, on a wind, her mizenmast is of no use, and sometimes she gripes so much that she cannot set her main trysail; otherwise, she is a good sea boat, and sails well, beating the Reynard consider ably under canvas. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Stromboli steam•sloop, Commander Lord A. W. Beauclerk, returned from her Channel cruise this forenoon, and came into the harbour. She sailed again this evening for the Channel Islands. The Planet freight-ship, with troops on board for Ber muda, got under way this morning; but after working out as tar as the Knab Light, returned to Spithead, the wind having become foul and the weather having a threatening appearance. Wind, S.W. by W.; moderate breezes and cloudy . weather. PLYMOUTH, Marton 31 .—Her Majesty's steam-sloop Stromboli, Lieut. T. Davis, arrived from Portsmouth on Wednesday, went up harbour to coal, and on Thursday sailed for a cruise in the Channel, to supply with provi sions any homeward-bound ships detained by contrary winds. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Avon, Lieut.-Commander Cater, arrived yesterday from the o )ast of Ireland; she will probably be paid off here on the 3d of April. Her Majesty's brig Ranger was taken into dock on Thursday; her main and else keel are carried away up to her garboard streak. She will r, quire to be lifted. Her crew were laid off in the yard on the 29th. The Lark schooner, Lieutenant C. 0. B. Hall, arrived from Sheerness on Sunday, and is on the point of sailing with a mail for the coast of Africa. Captain Mends, of her Majesty's ship Agincourt, 74, hoisted his flag, blue at the mizen, as Heir-Admiral of the Blue, on Tuesday morning, the 27th inst., and struck ►t again in the evening. During that time the flag of Admiral Superintendent Sir John Louis, red at the mizen, was hoisted on board hfl• Majesty's brig Ranger. Ilt.r Majesty's ship San Josef will be docked on the 7th of April, and the men will commence breaking her up on the 9th. The new mode of paying the artizans in the dockyard is deferred until May, to give time for the necessary preparations. All the hired ropemakers and the hired ropemakers' labourers who were to be paid off on the Ist of April are to be retained for twelve months longer.

WOOLWICU, APRIL 2.—Tho Vivid Dover mail steam packet, Captain Smithett, arrived at the harbour of Ostend, at six o'cbck P.M. on Saturday last, having on board her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians and suite. Her Majesty did not appear to have suffered in the least by the voyage, which had been performed in four hours, the sea being very calm. Sir John Hamilton accompanied her Maje s ty on board the Vivid. The military and civil authorities and Mr. Curry, the British Consul at Ostend, were in waiting to receive her Majesty, and on the vessel entering the harbour, a royal salute was fired from the batteries. The royal party, after landing, immediately left by a special train for Brussels. The Basilisk steam-vessel is to be taken out of the basin on Wednesday, and in a few days after will be placed under the charge of Captain Austin, C. 8., for trial with the Niger, and the latter is to be under the charge of Captain Halsted, whose great practical know- ledge of the properties of the screw-propeller will insure an unquestionably fair trial.

The steamer America arrived at Boston on the 9th ult., after a good voyage of thirteen days. " The news," says the New York Courier and Enquirer, " was rightly deemed auspicious. Continued tran quillity, increasing :activity in business, revival of confidence, an active demand for cotton, and a fair market for provisions, together with a steady absorption for continental an count of United States Si: per Cents., all contributed to impart an impulse to the Stock Market.

A band of exiles from Oran landed at Motril, a sea-port town in Grenada, containing 12,000 inha bitants, on the 21st.

GERMAN Y AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. The Cologne Gazette states that it has been decided in Council that the King of PRUSSIA shall not accept the Crown of Germany unconditionally, and that one of the stipulations will be that the consent of all the German Princes shall be previously obtained to such acceptance. The treatment experienced by the new Ministry leaves no alternative but resignation, or the dissolution of the Chamber. The Minister of War, M. La Bormida, was so affected that he. has given in his resignation to the King. The mindsof the people here have been vul canised by the news from Lombardy. In their delirium they talk of arresting the Ministers if Radetzky enters Alessandria. Bergamo is in revolt, and the struggle is not at an end at Brescia; the bombardment has lasted two days. Judge of .the effect of such news upon minds 41ready excited. It' the King does not adopt energetic measures, these madmen will in a few days bring Ra detzky to Turin. It is announced that a movement is preparing at Genoa." Notwithstanding this announcement, we cannot bring ourselves to believe that the French Govern ment will permit Austria either to occupy Turin, or to garrison Alessandria, unless, indeed, TRIERS and BUGEAUD are playing TALLEYRAND and MARMONT to RADETSICY'S BLUCHER, and are wilfully sacrificing the honour and safety of France to promote the sordid interests of " the Dynasty." We speak of TRIERS because he is the man who really works the wires by which the Ministerial puppets are moved. :The Moniteur du Soir announces that the PRESI DENT of the Republic went on Friday to visit the Marchioness of LONDONDERRY, at the Hotel Meurice, and adds— " Although the chief of the State is not in the habit of paying such visits, he, from a just feeling of gratitude, paid this mark of respect to the Marchioness, who, during his captivity at Ham, used all her endeavours to prevail upon Louis Philippe to set him at liberty." The Government have received a telegraphic dis patch from Turin, announcing that the KING has dissolved the Chamber of Deputies. It is also said that a: telegraphic dispatch has been received, announcing the rejection by the King of PRUSSIA of the proffered imperial Crown of Ger many. This last intelligence must be, to say the least, premature. PARIS BOURSE—MONDAY, APRIL 2.

FRANKFORT. The following declaration, signed by the 108 Mem bers of the minority of the German Parliament, ap pears in the Frankfort Gazette of the 30th ult.:— " Considering that the National Assembly has received from the German people the mission to prepare a con stitution for all Germany, but that the resolution adopted yesterday relative to the Chief of the Empire threatens Germany with a fatal division ; cons idering that the duty of the Assembly was to m ake a constitu tion, and not to create an Imperial dynasty ; consider ing that the hasty resolution on the subject of the Chief of the Empire has annulled the resolution of the As sembly itself to negotiate with the Imperial Austrian Government, with respect to the relations to be entered into between Austria and Germany, the undersigned declare that they did not consider themselves authorised to take part in the election of a Hereditary Emperor of Germany, which has taken place this day, and they accordingly decline all responsibility regarding that re solution and that election. "Frankfort-on-the-Maine, March 28." Of all the Austrian deputies who were in the Na tional Assembly of Frankfort on the election of the Emperor of the Germans, not one voted for the King of PRUSSIA. Twenty-two of the liberal deputies of Prussia abstained from voting. Of the sixty-eight Bavarian deputies, fifteen or sixteen voted for the KING ; all the Hanoverian deputies, twenty-four in number, did so; eight out of the twenty-six Wurtem burgers, five or six out of the twenty-one Saxons, and five out of the nineteen Badeners voted in the same way. The majority, consequently, was princi pally made up of the votes of the representatives of the little states. AUSTRIA. The Wiener Zeitung of the 26th publishes the official account of RADETZIET'S victory at Mortara. TURKEY. Accounts from Constantinople of the 20th announce that MAIIMOUD PACHA has been named Commander in-Chief of the Imperial Guards, and that ISHMAEL PACHA has been appointed Minister of Commerce. The recent Ministerial changes have given great sa tisfaction to Sir STRATFORD CANNING. The military preparations are urged forward with all practicable haste, and before the autumn Turkey will have an army of 250,000 fighting men. At Worship-street, Mr. James Smith, a trimming manufacturer, in the Bethnal-green•road, was thud 51., and ordered to find bail to keep the peace for six months, for having brutally beat his wife with a broom handle. Mrs. Smith, who is only in her eighteenth year, has been married to him only five weeks, and has once before been forced to apply to a magistrate for protection from his violence. Within a week of the marriage he made a vio!ent attack on her with a poker. A man, named Charles Parker, who had for seven years been in the employ of Messrs. Barlow and Brett, lace manufactures, of Wood street, Cheapside, as por ter, was yesterday fully committed from Guildhall, on a charge of having robbed his employers ot goods to a considerable amount. The stolen property was found concealed on his person. ETON COLLEGE.—Mr. William Lampriere Lewis, who was recently elected the Duke of Newcastle's scholar, obtained a sc holarshi p at Trinity College, Ox. ford, some months since. He was under the tuition of Mr. H. M. Birch during the five years the latter was tutor at Bt9n• " I have the honour to lay on the table the correspon dence which has taken place between the English and French Admirals and myself, as Minister of Foreign Affairs. This correspondence is only given under the form of communication pas , ing with the admirals, be cause the Government through me had formally declared, both verbally and by writing, that the consideration of such propositions should not belong to it, but to the general Parliament of Sicily. The kilmirals agreed to the principle, but they did not view the d;fficulty as essential, considering the necessity by which the Sicilian Ministers are obliged to present to Parliament communications made in that form. We, gentlemen, persevered to the last in our first de:ermination of refusing to lay before Parliament any Act proceeding from au authority not only unrecognised in Sicily, but cond:inned by a decree of Parliament. Such a proceeding would have caused me to incur the penalty of high treason, but we felt the propriety of informing the Legislative Chamber of the motives of the propositions made direct'y by the admirals of the two krcat Powers, leaving you to decide on their value, since the executive power never could give consent to acts directly opposed to the fundamental laws of the suite. For this reason I lay on the table the whole of the corre spondence that has passed between myself and the ad mirals. You will observe, that in my first reply of the 7th instant, acknowledging the receipt of the document ' alluded to, I declared that I could not present it because it was unworthy of appearing before the Parliament and Sicilian people. Another point di..cussed in the cor respondence with the admirals was with regard to the extensive publication which these admirals wished to give to their notes of the 7th of March, and the road missibla document. I verbally and in writing stated, that the only regular mode of effecting that object was to lay the documents before the Legislative Chamber, by whom, if necessary, they might be divulged ; but I ob served at the same time that the form adopted was not regular, and that in no case could the Parliament take any cognizance of acts which accompanied their com munication. The admirals, however, thought pro per to publish, in many parts of the city and of the island, the documents which they had brought with them; but I have the satisfaction to know that in every place the Neapolitan proposition of conciliation was looked upon with aversion and rejected. In the two last notes of the 18th, by Admiral Batelin, and the 19th : by Sir William Parker, I was informed, after a repetition of the same arguments, that the admirals had sent a steamer to Naples to acquaint the English and French Ministers of the state of the negotiation, at the same time giving us notice that in case a favourable issue did not take place the armistice was to be denounced, and that the suspension of hostilities would be at an end on the 29th. To this notice we answered that time ran for the Sicilians as well as for the Neapolitans, and that we would renew the war at the expiration of the term if our interest so required. Such is the information I lay be fore the Chamber. I now only awa it your j u d gment re specting it." - This speech was received with tremendous applause by the Chamber and the open tribune, and both the Members within doors and the public without joined in the most fervent approbation of the Ministerial conduct. The Provisional Government published the following proclamation as soon as the Admirals gave notice that the armistice was denounced, and that hostilities might be recommenced on the 29th : " Sicilians! The shout of v: . ar to you is a cry of de light. The day of the 29th of March, on which hos tilities with the despot - of Naples are to recommence, will be hailed with the same welcome as that of the 12th of January, and with good reason, because liberty can only be gained by the price of blood. Tho peace which you were offered was ignominious. It destroyed at one blow every interbst created by the Revolution. You have won the admiration of all Europe; but if you had been more forgetful of your rights, and had again submitted to the lying despotism of a tyrant, what would that world have said ? Sicilians ! Even though victory be not certain, when honour is at stake a nation, like an individual, has the superior right to immolate itself. Better will it be to be consumed in the flaming ruins of our country than to exhibit to Europe the spectacle of vile cowardice. Death is preferable to slavery. But, no ; we shall conquer—we confide in the sacred nature of our cause and in the ardour of our souls. " Look there. See the flaming desolation of Messina. War, then, is for us the symbol of vengeance and of love. One city of Sicily alone groans under the yoke of the enemy of liberty. To arms ! to arms I Then, there, we must conquer or die. (Signed) " RUGGIERO SETTIMO." CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY. — Yesterday a general meeting of this institution, founded in 1818 for providing a permanent relief, by means of monthly pensions, to decayed artisans, ruceha h nics, sons nufacturers, tradesmen, and the widows l o i s l e of electing who are above 60 years of age, Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the es pu e r n p d two femai, s, four additional pensioners, two males WAS held ot: 1 Themas Bedford, on the funds of the charity. J chair, the Secretary proceeded to such ro r ndon Esq., having taken the preliminary business before the elec tiondispose of the usual the report it appears 1 since the sin c ,, commenced. From society to 1818 no 11 ss than iiC62 the establishment of the poor, decayed , d a nd aged persons have been pensioners on and that the amount d' ' the funds of the charity, . . istrit. uted in monthly pensions to the recipients of this relief was •of 54 61 upwards , 1/. A in great featur e i n f av ur of the in stitution is, that distributing its benefits it looks not to trade, business, profession, religion, or country. The election was then proceeded with, and shortly after three o'clock the names of the successful candidates were an nounced. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminate d the proceedings. PROFITABLE USE FOR FARRINGDON-MARKET.—A portion of this mstrket, next Shoe-lane, has been con verted into a Ragged School, and the remainder, for several years totally unoccupied, is proposed to be fitted up as a model lodging-house, and as public baths and , wash-houses. The Minister PIRELLI then addressed the Chamber. He said that the Ministry thought those articles of the treaty relating to the political state of the country could not be accepted by the Parliament. The military articles, however, were altogether be yond the sphere of the legislative power. That the Ministry had determined to send a messenger to the Austrian General, in order, with the aid of the Great Powers who had offered their mediation, to obtain some important modification of the armistice. If the Ministry are unsuccessful they well know what is its duty to the country, and rather than sign an ar mistice leading to a peace disgraceful and ruinous to the country, they will resign their offices. The Minister added, that everything had been put in train that the enemy should not set foot in the citadel of Alessandria. PIRELLI refused to give any answer on the subject of the recal of the Sardinian fleet from Venice. Finally the Chamber met in secret com mittee to consult on the measures necessary to be taken under the existing circumstances. The arrival Of CHARLES ALBERT at Antibes is posi tively annonnced. He arrived there on the 29th, having crossed the French frontier with a Spanish passport as Count BARGE. He was joined at Antibes by the Count DE CASTAGNETTO. The Minister CARDORNA has also, it is said, sought refuge in the French territory. It is rumoured that an insurrection has broken out at Milan and at Bergamo, and that the latter city has been bombarded by the Austrians. We do not however, attach much credit to these rumours. Letters from Rome of the 24th announce the mo bilization of twelve battalions of the National Guard for the war of independence. SICILY. In sitting of the National Assembly at Palermo, of the 20th ult., the Minister for Foreign Affairs made the following announcement on the subject of the negotiations with the Admirals : SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. Colonel Peel's Derby outsider, Indus, came with a rush yesterday afternoon, the first quotation, we believe, being 40 to 1, taken to some hundreds, the last 25 to I, layers; the least odds taken were 1,000 to 35. Ile was also in favour for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, and is likely to see a better price than be is returned at below. These movements did not prejudice Tadtnor, as nu one would lay more than 13 to 2 agst him at the close. A new outsider, Vatican, made his debut for the Derby at 40 to 1, taken in several quarters. Apart from these changes the betting was not important. We should state, however, that Fernhill, Lugar, Executor, and Loapgarou were in improved favour fur the engagements for which we have quoted them, and that Dacia was in bad odour for the Metropolitan.

The house was well filled, and we were phased to observe the ()filet rs in full dress, who, as well as all the audience, iippLar , d highly delighted with the evening's per formances. Tile mann( r, Mr. Caple, deserves great credit for the matmt-r in which I,e produces every piece he puts on the stage, the scenery, dresses, &c., being in good keeping. We are glad to observe that 'notwith standing the ban the majority of the magistracy endea voured to put upon this establishment. that the en lightened tradesmen, &c., of Hull, have requested a be- speak for Wednesday next, " being anxious to express their sympathy for the great disappointment consequent on the refusal by the magistrates of Mr. Caple's licence for the entire year." We sincerely trust the house will be a bumper. The receipt of an unpaid letter during the present period of cheap postage, is an event to induce the sus picion of premeditated annoyance, or a well-grounded inference of ill-bred thoughtlessness. Yet such occur rences are not uutrequent from post-masters neglect ing to make the proper charge upon over-weight letters at the time of pre-payment, and the innocent corres pondent obtains the ohliquy. The house of Walley and Hardwick, the drapers, of Oxford-street, are in this pre dicament. It would seem that for some while past, their agents have been collecting the stocks of once vast ma nufacturers, but now ruined French firms. and the apprisal of this fact to the aristocracy was entrusted to their Windsor correspondent, but from an admitted error by the post-master there, a surcharge upon a large nunaba of letters has been made to the distin guished recipients which has placed the house in qui- Lion in an onerous (but it is to be hoped temporary) Position with their lofty connexions. In thus awaken ing the attention of others who might inadvertently fall into a similar dilemma, we are but doing an act of justice to a young and enterprising firm in stating the real nature of the mistake.—Evening Paper.
