MORE POISON.--The LEEDS CASE. — People of England,—Wkere is all this poisoning to stop ? Never, unt 1 yew force Parliament to pass a law that all such deadly potsoss shall be declared anti-medicinal, and all doctors and others prevented from using or selling them, under pain of transportation for life. The " Morning Chronicle" of the 10th March is at last speaking out on this question. It says —"Already have too many prescrip tions from the murderous pharmacopoeia obtained publicity." James Morison, the Hyeeist, said this thirty years ago, but he was not then heeded, and the consequence has been what we now see ; which is not much to be wondered at, when we hear and see Ministers of the Crown and others in Parliament puffing off doctors and their Medical Bills, whilst such doctors are the very parties who patronise, and from v.hom titose deadly poisons proceed Murderers are only imitating the doctors. How, therefore, can you put a stop to poisoning? As we have often said before, if these poisons can do good in any case, then the Hygeian System Wattles Morison, the Hygtist, must be false.

Tha following information is extracted from the weekly trade report of the Freeman's Journal : " The meeting for the appointment of an official manager to the Tipperary Bauk took place to-day. unpleasant, not to say. .disgusting, to observe that the theme of e loquence with most of the, can didates was disparagement of their rivals, only a small minority resting exclusively on their own merits. The Master made au admirable order in requiring the names of three solicitors to be pre sented to him by each candidate, a plan which will greatly tend t 6 defeat any legal robbery whiph might be in contemplation. The Master will give his decision on Monday, and it is perfectly plain he is earnest in his exertions to secure the best man. It is idle to speculate.ou what will be known to every one in a few hours. It will ()violently be no sinecure to whomever it falls to the lot of. He will have to earn his commission. We have been been informed, and, without positively vouching for the facts, believe them. to be accurate,,thatithe great bulk-of the English shareholders resident in the midland counties who held in; the Tipperary; Bank are tenants of Baron Rothschild ; who pur chased,from Mr. Sadleir a large number of shares —l,OOO or 1,200 in number—at the high price of ill., and resold them at 121. 101., evidently under the belief that it was a thriving undertaking; the purchasers have taken them for bona fide invest ments in small lots. The fact that the eminent capitalist was successfully duped by Mr. Sadleir is a remarkable one. We fear that in many of the cases the whole property of industrious persons have been, sunk, although, from the well-known character of the princely banker, we do not think it at all improbable that he will bear a portion of the loss he has been the unintentional channel of contributing to. It only evidences an additional proof that the persons in the bank must have been well aware of the catastrophe approaching." The s ix service companies of the sth Light Itfantry Battalion of her Mijasty's German Legion arrived at Folkestone on Friday from Heliznland, and proceeded to Shorncliffe. They consisted of 18 serjeants, 12 buglers, and 61$ rank and file. This division was accompanied by the following officers in command :—Major B ithurst, • Capts. Da Jouh arz , And erson , St av i s k e y, Hoveth, Stuck rath, Hartmann, Boner ; Lieuts. Sergel, Von Marschall, Von P.autz,.

Lieut. J. J. Nunn' is under order s to 'sail immediately in the Resolute from Kingstown direct for the Crimea, with 3 officers and 180 men of his regiment (the 90th Light lafantry) from the depot at Mullingar. On Saturday 160 privates of the'Royal Artillery form ing Cipt Tlirides Company, arrived in Limerick from Liverpool, and are to be stationed in the Ordnance Bar racks. Major Millers's battery, with all the cavalry horses there, left fir Ballincollig, destined for the Crimea. The Carlow Sentinel states . ‘" that there is no foundation for the rumour that a fictitious bill for 2,000/. passed through the Tipperary Bank into the Bank of Ireland. No local' or Irish bill for a larger sum than 2501. was negotiated in the Carlow branch of the above bank during the last two years. We believe the statement had no more authentic origin than rumour ; but at a period like the pre sent, when a great calamity has befallen the coun try by the failure of a bank, exaggerated state ments become current and believed. We have ascertained that the deposits in the Carlow branch are under 10,0001., and that the bills under dis count at the time of the failure exceed 10,0001. What amount of this sum will become available to the creditors we are not in a position to state at present. So far as Mr. James Sadleir is concerned, we believe he has been utterly ruined, and it is stated that he has left the country." AGRICULTURE IN THE WEST. Since the commencement of the present mont there has not been a single wet clay. The Western. Star says :—" Never has the weather been more favourable for seed sowing and other spring opera tions. The farmers are availing themselves as much as possible of the opportunity which the weather affords them, and bustle and activity are observ able in all directions. Seldom have the operations of the season been in such a forward state in March. Many farmers have concluded sowing who at the same period of last year had not finished plough ing. The breadth of land under oats and barley will be very considerable, nor will there be any falling off in the quantity of potatoes planted, as complete confidence in the favourite root' seems to have.been restored. The young wheat is thriving vigorously, and the demand which exists for guano and other manures is demonstrative of the propor tion of land likely to be under green crops. As a matter of course the labour market has risen, and instead of is. per diem from Is. 3d. to is. Bs. is freely given. This will, of course, be only tem porary, though the price of provisions, indeed, has not fallen so much as we anticipated." The weather, nevertheless, is very severe, and a bitter east wind, of nearly a month's continuanct, is but poor comfort to persons labouring under delicacy of-the respiratory .organs. Yesterday it" blew a full gale of wind from the old point, and there was every indication during the forenoon of the approach of a heavy fall of snow ; but, later in the day, the wind veered a little towards the south, and shortly afterwards the rain came down in drenching torrents, never ceasing until 11 o'clock last night. This morning the change is complete. The cold has abated, and at 5 o'clock the city was enveloped in a thick warm fog. MONDAY EVENING. THE TIPPERARY BANK. Mr. M'Dowell, one of the junior fellows of Trinity College, has been nominated to the office of official manager of the Tipperary Bank. Mr. Meldon is to be the solicitor tinder him, and Mr. Gibson to be the solicitor having the carriage of the proceedings. Mr. M‘Dowell, who owes his appointment to the stroiSg rccommeudation of Mr. longfield, one of the t ecguraissioners of. Encumbered Estates,. was proppsed in behalf of the Messrs. Scully as repre senting 330 shares in the Tipperary BAtik. THE REPRESENTATION OF NEW ROSS. The. following was the state of the poll at two o'clock : Tottenham B4 Redington 65 A subsequent despatch states that Tottenham has been returned. (Frond the ~Fclipburgh, IVifness.) We know that the pious Montgomery ranked among the fervent admirer.; of Burns ; and we have seen the face Of the saintly Chalmers glow with delight as lie' pronpunced one of his soul; stirring lines. No one can defend all that the poet did or said. True, his frailties have been somewhat severely dealt with. • He was, with al his faults, a greatly better man than either of his two gleatest. contemporaries: He did not drink :half so hard as- William Pitt ; and - yet respectable people toast the memory of the "Heaven-bOrn Minister," without making any allusion whatever .to the four bottles of port that he used to put under his belt of an evening ; and while he was certainly, not more ;licentious or less sober than Charles James Fox,. he was beyond com parison a more honest man ; for he was no gambler, and paid all his just debts, and would have died rather than fabricate the !mean lie which deprived au honour able lady of her moral status as the wife of a British prince. But it would be idle to represent Burns as other than an imperfect character. His own honest per, gave the lie to the unwise friends of his memory Who took up a position so untenable. " The poor inhabitant below • Wag quick to learn and wise to know, And keenly felt the social glow ' And softer flame, But thoughtless follies laid him low, And stained his name." Nor can it be denied that some. of his writings have done harm. It seems, however, to be a law of Providence th a t th e eart h- sta i ns which pollute the fountains of genius should be deposited by the stream in its course, and that the living waters. , should at length run clear. And it has been so with the poetry of Burns. It is not by his worse," " but by . his better writings, that he is now remem bered—by his songs, unrivalled in the literature of the workl ; and by those undying pieceti, - Sock the Cottar's Saturday Night," so rich in (shame ter and manner, and in high moral sentiment . withal, that are destined to "Be known, perchance, when Scotland is no mere, And tell the tale of what she was before." And if his writings have done harm, let us net for , get that they have also done no little good. Roberti Burns was the man who first taught the Scottish , people to stand ergot. Let us not be blind to the great national faults, and only lynx-eyed to tha lautts cf the great national poet. A mean and creeping subserviency to the great—a getting up "to be hanged in order to please the laird"--:--was the masbzr fault of the Scotch people ; and a cen tury.of persecution had failed to wean them of it. That part of the General Epistle of James whiCh treats of "respect cof persons," and the undue partiality shown to men with " gold rings and goodly apparel," might have been more appro priately addressed to the Scotch, even after the rich had. "oppressed" and drawn them " before the judgment-seat," and " blasphemed the Holy Name," than to almost any other people of Europe. But the independent peasant who, in the most try ing circumstances, never bent himself before the worthless wealthy or the titled great, and who in his ever-living strains asserted the dignity of man hood, taught them another lesion ; and they have learned it. Yes ! the Scottish people have lost the habitual stoop, and uow stand erect ; and all honour, say we, to the reformer who, more than any other, effected the change. His life, as cer tainly as his works was effectual in producing it ; and had it accomplished nothing else, would not, with all its errors and shorccomings, have been spent in vain. NIAGARA FALLS IN WINTER-A RARE AI)V EST t, During the recent "cold term" ice has formed above the falls in vast quantities, most/Py in blocks, which have come down the rapids and lodged on the shoal places. Last week the ice became weiged iu and frozen together between Bath Island and Chapin island, and from thence to the brink of the cataract. Such an occurrence, we are told, is nut within the recollection of the oldest inhabit in , Those of our distant readers who have visited the Falls will remember an island between the paper mill and the American Fall, above and around which the water rushes with great violence. This is called Chapin island from the circumstance that a man named Chapin, who was at work on the bridge, fell into the rapids and fortunately reached the island as the current dashed him towards the cataract. Not less remarkable was his rescue by the well-known adventurer, Joel R. Robinson, who succeeded in reaching ie island with a small boat. This occurred many years ago, since which the spot has not been visited by any human being until now. The first gentleman to cross the ice was Mr. F. B. Fox, who visited the island, hoisted a flag, and found the ice had formed from the island to the brink of the precipice, where it was perfectly sure to stand and look into the abyss below. It was a proud moment to him as be stood where, in all proba bility, no man had ever stood before. He afterwards visited the place with a number of our citizens previous to the visit of a party, who have been announced, through mistake, as the pioneers. In company with Mr. Fox and Mr. and Mrs. Keyser, we visited the enchanting locality on Mon day afternoon. Mrs. Keyser is the first lady who visited Chapin Island, or viewed the Falls from a point below. We claim to be the first editor who ever visited that locality. The eastern edge of the ice formation passes along the side of the current down which poor Avery was carried to his awful doom. The water, thou2h not deep, rushes with irresistible velocity. Yet it was safer travelling to the island and front thence to the precipice. Here the cclntinual accumulation of spray and snow had formed a mound from 20 to 30 feet in height, and front the top of which we stood and viewed the scene. To the right and far below are mountains of solid ice, under which were vast caverns made by the falling torrents. Oa a shallow point overhanging the cavernous deep, and fastened firmly to the rock, was a body of ice from which depended vast icicles resembling in verted church spires. Oa our left the ocher per. tion of the American Fall could not be so dis tinctly observed.--Niagara Fall Gazette. The following humorous circumstance, exhibiting 4 deficiency of ready wit in a son of the Emerald Isle, oo curred on the afternoon of Thursday last. The boundary walls of the dockyard are guarded at oertaiu places by sentinels to prevent any illegal traffic over the walls, but more particularly to guard against the escape of any truant eearaeis sent on shore on duty to the d cckyard, but who may he troubled with an earnest desire to visit some of their friends outside. At the north-west wall adjoining Cornwall-street is a pole erected to denote the course of the tunnel connecting the dockyard with the K.eyhans docks. A seaman belonging to the Forth (mortar vessel) boldly marched up to one of the sentries and asked him the height of the pole, intimating that an officer required the information. The soldier, who was an Irishman, said he did not know. To which the seaman replied, "Then I must k•ow," and desiring the soldier to hold a ball of spun-yarn he had breughi with him, climbed up the polo. When arrived at the top he called to the sentry to pitch him the ball. Pat in him s'enplicity did so. Jack made a couple of half hitchers round the pole and gently lowered himself outside the wall into the street, Pat exclaiming, "By Janus. man, you are on the wrong side !" All efforts to secure the witty seaman have yet been ineffectual.—Plymouth ESTIMATRS OF CIVIL SERTICES.—The estimates on AO. count of "Public Works and Buildings,"published on Fri day, include a sum of 895,3361., against 740,7601. re quired for the year 1855-6, thus exhibiting an increase of 143,576/.

But inesinueh as you have coupled my name With the toast, I must say that my interest in this society dates from the establishment of the fund itself. (Hear, hear.) I found in the be t ibalking a plain, unpre tending reality, designed - for thelFeltefit of actors of all degrees, administered gratuitously by actors for actors ) , and supported from month to inotith, and from year to year, out of the small earnings of actors. (Hear, hear.) From that time to the present tie society has main tained its character, being ex-:ctly what it claims and professes to be. There is no kind of false pretence about it, and I do thoroughly believe that it is one of the most deserving institutions in this country. (Cheers.) Some days ago. I had a commuoicat:on from my friend and fellow trustee, Mr. Macready, on the subject of this fund,'and it arose out of that great change which has made Covent-garden Theatre a heep of ruins. That cir eamstance made us reflect that the English (Irma half no home, cr hope of a home, in that waste spot, and also to take into consideration the present state of the Covent-garden Theatrical Fund. (Hear, hear.) Con ' sidering that it will be impossible that any new claim' upon that fund can be created, I most say that I do indulge a hope, amounting almost to conviction, that the eccumulated wealth of that institution wilt ulti mately flow into the coffers of this society ; for if it is found that the object sought by that fund cannot be realise ), I cannot imagine what can become of that great capital, unless it goes to augment an institution accessible to all persons connected with the drama throughout the king km. (Hear, hear) Mr. Dickens concluded by wishing that prosperity might ever attend this truly valuable society. About this period of the evening the secretary, Mr. Culled*, read the li-t of donations, at the head of which appeared her Majesty's annual subscription of 1001. The chairman had presented 101. 10=.; the Dake of De,. 'shire, 101. 10s. annually ; Earl Fitzhardicge, Si. annually ; Mr. C. Manby, 51.; Mr. B. Webster, 51.; Mr. C. Kcan, 51. Si. ; air. W.

Mr. WEBSTER responded,` and several other toasts having been drank, Tue SECRETARY announced that the subscriptions of the evening amounted to 5761., shortly after which the Chairman left the chair, and the proceedings terminated. The musical arrangements of the evening were under the management of Mr. Lovel Phillips, and appeared to give+ the greatest satisfaction. PROPOSED . I4PB,OVEMENTS IN PALL GL,,,i4iYP DO TVA ING-STREET. At present the house-rent alone paid for Government offices amounts tciaoinewhere about 30,0001. a-year, ex erosive of the large sums paid annually for r.pairs and alterations. It is proposed to alter this system, and for the State to have offices built upon its own ground, and to do away with_rentine mieec i whiele, 10,JAke-sialile time, are bothiacommedioniand atiAiy. The first step in the r ght direction is to be taken in reference to the War Department. It is pereposed to pull down Buck iugham-hoese and the houses that intervene between that and the present Ordnarice-effice, and to erect a splendid set of offices ueder the roof of which all the de partments connected with the Minister of War may be caaried on. The frontage thus gained will be more than 150 feet, and will fill up the space between the Carlton Club and the Ordnance-office. It is felt that, consider ing the character of the property in Pall-mall, the new office of the Minister of War should certainly be up 0, if not superior to, the splendid edifices which at present grace this magnificent street. To this end the Chief Coin missiener of Works has determined to depart from the usual reutaie of his department, and instead of giving the designing Of „Ale plans to the officials in his (ace as a thing of coueire, has determined to throw it open to competition. With this view circulars hive been sent . to sane of our, most distinguished architects, askirg . them to furnish deigns. This proceeding, as may easily be imagined, has thrown the Institute of Architects into a great sled pleasing state of excitement, and among those who have already promised to send in plans may be named Nl' C. Barry, Mr. S. Smirke, Mr. J. Shaw, and Mr. Pennefather. It is proposed by the Government to give to each of the eucces-ful candidates 1001. ; and their designs, if they accept this sum,, to become the pro perty of therGovernment. The step thus taken will, we believe, meet with the entire approbation even of the most rabid reformers in existence. Thus much with reference to the proposed new War-office. But the Chief Commissioner of Works does not stop here. It will be reinecebered that last year the late Sir William Moles worth brought before the House of Commons a plan for taking down the offices in Downing-street and rebuild ing teem using, at the same time, the vacant piece of ground between the Board of Trade and Fludyer atreet. The cost, for which a vote was asked, was 904110/. The House of Common s re jecte d the p ro p osal, onlim ground that it was the . du t y of the G overnment , 4;t. - ct: propose a design of a more complete character, by .hick the several Government offices might he perma enently brought together.. They therefore voted nearly 10,0001. for making the offices ire Downing-street tem porarily secure, and 30,0001. for the purchase of land contiguous to Downing-street.; In the House of Lords, Lords Redesdale, Derby, Mouteagle,. Ellenborough, Hardwick, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and Lord Stan ley of Alderley, all spoke in favour of a more extended and grander design , and obtained a promise from Govern ment that they would give the subject the fullest considera tion. This they have done, and the plan of the Chief Com missioner of Works is, it iii said, as follows :-114,pra poses to purchase the entire block of buildings commenc ing from Downing-streeteto Great George-street, includ ing the north side of . Parliament-street. Supposing this dune, there would be an open space from Perlis ment-e.teeet to. St. James's Park. It is then proposed to erect a mageeificerit gauge of . public offices, in a direct line from the Treasury-chambers to George's-street, Storey-gate so that cne portion would look to the west and the other into Parliament -street. IRy these , means the road frOm the Horse Guards to Great George street would be of the same width; and would form one of the most magnificent thoroughfares in Europe. By it the beauties of Westminster Abbey and the new Houses of Parliament 'would be brought prominently forward. Of course these alterations cannot be effected but by a large outlay, and, one, perhaps, that would startle the House of Commons out of its propriety ; but then to meet this expenditUree so that it should not fall too hea vily at. once, it is propOied to throw the return of the outlay over a period .of years. Designs, such as the above, Lave been floating before the minds of successive Commissioners 'of Works, but they had not the pluck to bring them forward ; it es niew,belieyed that the present commissioner, backed" by the • G wernment, will, early atter Easter, bring the plaiabefere the House of Com mons, and ask for, their approval, which there is not much doubt they wilLaccord.— Observer. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES NEAR FOLKESTONE. On Friday last two very serious and destructive fires broke out near Folkestone. About noon a chimney took fire in the farm-house of •Mr. Pilcher, when a flake of burning soot fell upon a bay-rick and set it on fire. It then spread so rapidly that the house, outbuildings, and stacks and ricks were very speedily burnt to the ground. The fire having been seen by a sentinel at the camp of. the British German Legion at Shorncliffe, it was imme diately reported, when a large body of cavalry and in . b fantry, with three engines, proceeded with great haste to the spot, and the place baving.been surrounded by the infantry, the other troops went to work in good style, but from want of water they could not arrest the progress of the flames. Their conduct, however, was so kighly appreciated, that the owner presented the men with 30 pigs that were roasted by the fire. The second fire was at a windmill adjacent to the rail way, rear the upper station at Folkestone, about two miles from the camp. It broke out accidentally at about six O'clock ; the German troops were soon present, and rendered most valuable and effective service in saving property, although the mill was completely gutted. Nearly all the flour was say, d. One of the German cavalry brought out on his back more than 20 sacks from amidst the fire, and the greatest praise is due to the legion for their prompt assistance.

He observed that up.to a certain period there was no doubt that the English drama had advanced as,the people bad progressed in civilisa tion, and it probably reached its greatest eminence in the reign of queen Elizabeth, when under royal patronage it• flourished apace: But darker days caine,a,nd during the gloomy sway of the Puritans laws were passed against the professors of the drama, more disgraceful, indeed, to those who made them than to those against wham they were framed, but still of the most discouraging character.. It had, been said by many who took a superficial view ef the drama that at the period to which he had first alluded it was characterised by coarseness. But these fine gentlemen—those extra-purists, if he might use the term, betrayed not only a want of knowledge of history, but ignorance of the manner of the times which they professed to criticise, fqr they forget that the art of the player or the author was to depict the foibles of the age; and the disgrace, if any, was that of their ancestors, who bad been guilty of the licentiousness which had baesareprasentethatsel coadetnesed-erp - on"th a boards. In deed; the Lord. Fuppingtons were confined to no Age or clime ; they abounded equally in the old time as in the present, and Van brugh or Congreve drew their fine ladies and gentlemen irom real life, as did the most distin guished and successful of ' our own modern dramatic writer.-. (Hear.) No class of men were more subject to privation than dramatists ; and of later days, he Was glad to say, philanthropy, which, in this happy land, was confined to no particular class, had embraced the poor profession of an actor, and the glorious' institution, the anniversary of which they were this day assembled to commemorate, reminded its humblest and most unho poured votary that when an arduous life had been spent in the instruction and amusement of the public, that public would not suffer the worn-out and indigent actor to sink into destitution and misery. (Cheers.) It was not every one who could be a Siddons or a Kemble ; and it was for those who, although they might possess genius, talent, and industry, were still unable to ever come tae difficulties inherent to their position as mem bers of an extended body, that this fund was necessary. It happened to a few dramatists that, even after an ac cident, they had been enabled to obtain the patronage of the public. The elder Mathews had achieved that suc cess, but whoever heard of a lame harlequin, or a crip pled clown who had been equally successful ? To such this institution was of the most essential consequence. In the decline of life it relieved their necessities, and ena bled them to pass the remainder of their days in compa rative rest and quietness. And was it not right that they should ? (Hear.) Sir Walter Scott, presiding on a similar occasion to the present, had observed, with a pathos mosaaffecting, Will you allow Jack Falstaff — honest Jack Falstaff—to go to bed without his cup of sack ; or the poor actor to retire to his crib with bones more marrowless than those of Banque ?" (Cheers.) He ~(the noble chairman) was indeed glad that in these mo dern times the destitute members of a prbtes:sion, 'once honoured and respected, could say like Prospero, "chat breath of yours has filled' my sail." (The toast was drunk with applause.) Mr. BIICKSTONE having been leudly called for rose to return thanks. He spoke as follows :—My lord and gentlemen, in return for the enthusiastic manner with which you have received what you are always pleased to consider the toast of the evening — 4 r' Success to the General Theatrical Fund"—coupled with my name, as the treasurer, I-am happy to say that my reply to that toast will consist 'of scarcely anything but a continuous account of our prosperity and usefulness ; while our first cause for gratification must be in having secured so ex cellent a chairman as the nobleman'new presiding over us. The directors of the farad are exceedingly grateful to him for having undertaken the office, at what we the matically call " a very short notice," . .but I am convinced the ability with which be will perform his duties will not require him fo ask "for your usual kind indul gence." In obtaining a president for those occasions, we have to encounter a difficulty which did not belong to the festivals of Drury-lane and Covent-garden, where it was the custema to have a Royal and perpetual chair man. The General Theatrical Fund, knowing the love of the public for novelty and variety, think it best to change the president every year ; consequently the mem bers are-annually asking each other e e" Wtfiriletti'be (Sur chairman at the next dinner ?" And we always find a great relief to our anxiety when we can meet with a gentleman like Lord Tenterden, who cheerfully and without hesitation accedes to our request ; while, as a patron of the drama, a lover of the actor's art, and a member and vice-president of the only dramatic club in London—" The Garrick"—no one can better under stand our wants and wishes, or plead more eloquently in behalf of them, than our noble chairman of this evening. I have now, gentlemen, to proceed to tell you of the condition of our fund. The details may be rather dull, but still it is necessary you should be ac quainted wish them, and learn to what purposes your generosity lite been applied. It is now well known that the General Theatrical Fund receives as members every performer, singer, dancer, pantomimist, and prompter in the kingdom, whether they may be professiott ally engaged either in town or country ; consequently it cannot be a matter of surprise that the number of our members now amounts to 149 ; that at this time we have 11 annuitants receiving from 301. to 901. per IIUTI3 ; and that the sum given last year to pay such an nuities was 2561. Fifty pounds also have been returned to widows and orphans, and 201. applied to 'defray the funeral expenses of deceased members. TliiiiiStou will perceive, gentlemen, that our circle of help and useful ness is greatly enlarged, yvbile I am happy to tell you that our means are increasing in proportion, for with what we possess, added to the mtinitice.nt annual dona tion of 1001. just received from her moist gracious Ma- jesty, and the estimated amount of your liberality this evening—and that you will be liberal I am sure—we calculate that to-morrow morning we shall be masters of a capital closely approaching 10,0001. I must also in form you, gentlemen, that through the exertions of our old friend and naval ally, Mr. T. P. Cooke, and after many months passed in consulting legal authority re specting his trusteeship of a defunct fund, called "The Coburg," the members of which are all as defunct as tire! fund, after leaving in Mr. Cooke's hands the amount of their subscriptions, he very naturally and honestly caqi sidered that the best way to dispose of money to Well there were no claimants was, not to put it into his oAn i pocket, but to give it to us. Therefore, after a conii.l4; able period of delay, occasioned ty the required legal proceedings, Mr. Cooke has handed to our funliAlle handsome sum of 161/. It would have been mori; &ri flemen, but for law expenses. Still, to do justice to our legal friend', it is but right I should state they only charged us the costs out of pocket —a pleasing instance of generosity in gentlemen who sometimes consider costs as a more important matter, and more necessary to be paid at once, than any amount that it may be their business to procure. Thus you will see, gentlemen, that the fund you are met together to serve is in a prosper ous condition, and it is also graifying to know, that whatever may he the state of the stage in the present day, the position of the actor as regards his provision when he can no longer follow hie pursuit is far superior to what it was formerly ; for while the Gene ral Theatrical Fund takes under its care all performers, that of Drury-lane provides for its own, and the princely capital which belonged to what was once Covent-garden Theatre enables those who were members of that departed temple of the drama to live in comfort, and reflect upon the bygone glories of their day, though the magnificent edifice which was the scone of those dramatic glories is now in ruins. In addition to thise'sources for the sup port of the retired actor, we hape ere long to name an other, from which he may not only claim an asylu m , b u t his children an education ; for surely the noble bequest of the ancient actor, Edward Alleyne, and his beautiful col lege at Dulwich, ought not to be entirely closed against the actor of the present day, especially as the funds of that endownment are now increased far beyond what the generous and genial founder ever dreamt of, while the share that the actor asks of so much. wealth is so very little. Should this be accomplished, gentlemen, the thanks and gratitude of the whole profession are due to the ac tor who has stirred in the cause, and who has made it his thought for years—my old friend and cue-fellow Ben jamin Webster. It is, therefore, pleasant to know, at this particular time, when a sour intolerance still stands in the way of making our Sundays a little more cheerful, and more to be welcomed and enjoyed by the working classes than they are at present—it is, indeed, refreshing for us to see that such intolerance does net prevent the good that is being done to the condition of the " poor player." Though do not imagine this gloomy spirit would sot prevent your charity in such a cause, if it could, and point to Exeter Hall as the proper recipient of your bounties—that saintly temple, which, when rented by some friends of mine for the purpose of giving concerts, the directors at the ball absolutely objected to the sing ing of that thoroughly English ballad, " Sally in our Alley," unless the verse was omitted which runs thus:— " Of all the days that's in the week I dearly love but one day, And that's the day which comes between A Saturday and Monday." They wouldn't have it ; of course not—they would not allow the poor 'prentice on any account on that day "to be drest all in his best to walk abroad with Sally." Still it is to be hoped that a fanaticism, which some people cannot understand is not religion, may hereafter have as little to do with the honest and wholesome re creation of the people, as it can ever have to do with the prosperity of this institution—a prosperity which is now confirmed, and for which we have chiefly to thank our warmest, .our oldest, and beat friend—Mr. Charles Dickens. Never on any occasion has he deserted us— never has be been absent from our eleven festivals, and which festivals, without his happy piesence, would be as the day without the sun. And now, gentlemen, I leave the cause 01 the fund to your hearts, and especially Naval and Military Intelligence. The steam-transport Impdratrice, No. 220, sailed yes terday morning from Woolwich for the East, with a full cargo of general military stores. The crew of the transport Imperatriz, No. 150, were on Saturday paid a., Woolwich. The Imperatriz is to be placed on the reserve list until called upon for further service. The gun-boats Mayflower, Go3ha.;vb, and Louisa, have completed their shipment of ammunition, &c., and sailed yesterday morning from Woolwich for Greenhithe. Two other gun-boats,the Goldfinch and Violet, are to leave Woolwich to-day for Greenhithe. The Nightingale, 2, gun-boat, Lieutena n t T a th we ll B. Collinson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning from the eastward. The Pearl, 21, Captain Sotheby, was taken into dock yesterday afternoon. On Friday last nearly 200 seamen of her Majesty's ship Russell, Captain Scott, who served ire the Crimea and Black Sea fleet during the war, were presented with medals. The quarter-deck of the Russel, lying at Queenstown, was tastefully fitted up for the occasion, and there were present the naval Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir George Rose Sartorius, Lady Sartorius, and family ; the military Commander-in. Chief, Major- General R. C. Mansell, K.H., Mrs. Mansell, and family ; a number of distinguished military officers who had served in the Crimea, and captains, R.N., resident in Queenstown and neighbourhood, with their wives and families. Captain Scott addressed the men in appropriate terms, telling them that her Majesty had given similar medals to a large number of her gallant sailors and sol diers, of whom some were their own shipmates then present, but that it was impossible for her to do so per , sonally to all in the service. He was anxious, therefore, to impress upon them the nature of the distinction con ferred upon them, which was a proof that their ser vices were known and acknowledged and valued by their Queen and country. The names of the men were then called over, and the medals presented to each by Lady Sartorius, Mrs. Mansell, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Faushawe, and Mrs. Fulford, the band of the Russell playing the National Anthem and other appropriate music. After all the medals had been distritbuted the ship's company gave three hearty cheers for their Queen, the ladies, and their captain. Two new gun-boats, the Ala-nity and Vigilant, were launched yesterday at Messrs. Mare's, Black wall, and are to be conveyed to Woolwich to be fitted for servic3. The despatch-boat Intrepid, Commander Woods, hav ing made good her defects, was yesterday morning un docked at Woolwich and hauled into the outer basin to wait orders. The gun-boat Delight, not in commission, was yester day morning taken out of the fitting-basin, Woolwich, and docked for final fitment, and to be coppered. Six gun-boats are in course of construction at Messrs. w. Smith's, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, measuring respec tively 233 tons, and of 60-horse power, and are to be armed with one 68 pounder and one 32. The depart ment at Woolwich has received orders to suspend for the present the further supply of the braes howitztr guns with which the gun-boats have hitherto been armed. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Ripon, Capt. Cooper, transport No. 25, is expected at Southampton on or about Wednesday, with the follow ing ogieers, &c., from Malta :—Capt. Giffard, R N., Lieut. Vaughan, R.N., 4 naval engineers, 38 distressed British seamen ; Cornet Dimsdale, 11th Hussars ; As sist-Surgeon M'Clean, Osmanli Irr4gular Cavalry ; 6 naval stewards, &c. The Ripon sailed from Smyrna o, the 4th inst., and Malta on the oth, and was to toucl a. Gibraltar on her voyage to Southampton. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Conamander Edw:srd Wilson, b the Wellesley ; Lieut. J. B. Graham, to the Colossus ; S H. Buckingham, midshipman, to the Pearl ; Robert M. Jones, storekeepers to . the Tencornalee. The newly-a:Tiled siege-traihmen were yesterday morning drawn up in a threegivarter square in the parade , ground facing the Royal Arttllery Barracks, Woolwich for the purpose of giving the men an opportunity o, THE MILITIA. Volunteering has taken among the Clare Militia now quartered in the barracks at Newport, Monmouth shire. Major Harman was the inspecting officer, and on parade 200 men stepped forth ; of these the Major could only take 115, that, being the prescribed numb(-r, the regiment not being allowed to reduce its strength further.

A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette thus re lates the more specific causes of the duel : At a fashionable club here, called the Jockey Club, some young officers had been playing so high that their financial resources had become seriously affected. The matter was reported to the King, and Hinckeldey re ceived orders to put an end to such proceedings. The official charged by Hinckeldey with this duty may not have proceeded with the requisite tact and delicacy ; that is very likely. The gentlemen felt highly indignant, and some of them, Herr Yen Rochow among the rest, demanded from Hinckeldey an explanation of the treat ment they had experienced. Hinckeldey, in consequence, informed them confidentially, for this he ex:rlicitly dwelt up in, that he had acted in obedience to orders. This confidential communication was taken advantage of, for the purpose of compelling Hinckeldey to state the alleged order either by signing a document or in some ' other official way. This he refused to do, and because the affair was to become official, denied that he had made such a communication, since, in as official poiht of view, it. would be considered non avenue. Upon this he was accused of having uttered a "lie"—an emphatic insult, which was made without the slightest coal flea- Con, and with some additional coarse remarks on seve ral occasions. The same word was &so used, it is said in d i took different documentut rms personally handed d a e f d ter tohim* this, ba the meantime the bearing of several gentlemen of high position towards Hinckeldey grew more and The affair ) more uncourteous. If they chanced to meat him in company anywhere they cut im, so that all direct s tci, it intercourse was at an end. In the Carrousel, that lately took place, some additional insults were offered him, and matters had come to such a pitch that Hinckeldey determined on bringing them to a crisis by means of a duel. For more than a week his intimate friends were aware that a hostile meeting was imminent, nor, indeed, is there a doubt of the fact, that had the duel of the day before yesterday let him seathless, other duels would hare succeeded. Prevented from taking part in one on account of his official position, Hinckeldey sent in his resignation a week before his death. As this resignation at the end of a week was not accepted, Hinckeldey nor - sidered himself to be no longer tied down by official considerations, and so the duel took place. - SUICIDES IN PARIS. An Englishwoman named Henrietta B-, in the service of an American family staying at the Hotel da Louvre, on Saturday requested a fellow-ser vant to procure her a bottle of brandy, and the latter, knowing that she was given to drink, did so. But from what Henrietta said on receiving it, the other Servant suspected that she had some fatal design, and instead of going away she stood listening at the door. Presently she heard some faint groans, and she caused the door, which Henrietta had locked, to be forced open. Hen rietta was then found lying on the bed, with blood flow ing profusely from a deep cut in the throat, and from the arteries in the arm ; and a razor stained with blood was near her. Medical assistance was procured for her, and she was subsequently conveyed to the Hotel-Dieu. The cause of this rash attempt is not known.---Another at tempt at suicide of the same kind waroilso made on Fri day. The occupiers of the house No. 32, Rue Chabrol, at La Chapelle, heard in the morning faint groans and' cries in a room oceupied by an elderly man, a labourer, named Paul, and on entering it they found hint lying on his bed with a deep cut in the throat, and with two cut= in the bend of each arm. Medical assistance was pro cured for him, and he was sent to the Hospital Laribois siere. He states that as he was dazing on the bed, some man, whom he did not know, came in and inflicted the wounds with a razor which had been lying on the table ; but as it does not appear that the man had any personal enemy, and as besides it was ascertained that eo robbery had been committed in the room, it is supposed that he endeavoured to commit sui cide, but that, failing, he was ashamed to say so. In addition to the above, three persons committed sui cide the same day. A married couple named Franco* hawkers of vegetables, of the Rue Saintonge, in the Marais, suffocated themselves with the fumes of char coal ; they were found lying dead in their bed, clasping each other by the hand. The man was 60 years of age, and the woman 31, and it is supposed that it was misery which caused the fatal act. The third person who com mitted suicide was a washerwoman at Bagnolet, who also effected her purpose with charcoal. Her reason was profound sorrow at the death of her daughter, aged 18, which took place some months ago ; in her hand she bold tightly grasped a daguerreotype portrait of the youn , woman, and in'a letter to her husband she en treated him to keep the girl's tomb constantly decked with flowers. SUB3ILIRINE TELEGRAPH BETIVEE EUROPE AND A MISRIC.A. The charter granted by the King of Sweden to the American citizen, Mr. T. P. Schaffner, containing the exclusive permission to lay down a submarine telegraph wire between the coasts of North America and Norway, is dated Jan. 24, and contains the following articles : " 1. The company is permitted to lay down a tele graphic wire from the continent of North America to the coast of Norway, and to establish a telegraph station there, but permission is not granted them to continue the line by land through the dominions of Norway. " 2. The eonceFsion granted by these present. is de pendent on the company's subscribing the sum necessary for the undertaking within five years from the present date, en 1 completing the submarine telegraph before the expiration of another period of five years. 3. Should any interruption of the communication take place after the opening of the line, the company is bound to repair it at their expense as soon as possible, and not later than after a year's delay. " 4. The Norwegian Government engages to construct separate lines of wires on the telegraphs of the state, for the purpose of forwarding the despatches from America, if so desired, and on the guarantee of a minimum amount of receipt , . " 5. The oempany, and their agent, and servants, shall be subject to the same laws and jurisdiction as Norwegian subjects, as far as regards the telegraph in the sea and land dominions of the King of Sweden and Norway. • " G. Should a war break out between Norway and the United State, , , or between Norway and any other state, through whose territory the proposed telegraph shall pass, the Norwegian Government reserves to itself the right of suspending the communication during the continuance of the war, without detriment to the privi leges contained in this charter."
