MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTENSIVE STSTEM OF FRAUD.-Wm. Heeley, clerk, of 3, Chapel-place North, South Audley-street, and John Steel, shoemaker, of 6, Dorset-street, Baker-street, were charged before Mr. Knox with conspiring to defraud Mrs. Hannah Wrigglesworth, of 31, South Audley-street, a boot maker in an extensive way of business, of various sums of money. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, prose cuted, and from the evidence it appeared that Steel was a werkman in Mrs. Wrigglesworth's employ, and Heeley was also in her service as cli rk. It was Heeley's duty to make entries in a book of the work given out to the workmen, and when the work was returned to see that it agreed with the book. On Saturday nights when the workmen came for payment they handed the bills to Heeley, and, if they were found to be correct, he stamped them and handed them over to Mrs. Wriggleswortb, who then paid them. Some circumstances of a suspicious nature coming to Mrs. Wrigglesworth's knowledge, on Saturday Light the pri soners were watched, and Steal was seen to present his own bill, and then another bill in the name of Jones for 30s, and on being asked where ho got the latter bill from, he said it was given to him by Heeley to present, and that he had been in the habit of presenting similar bills for months past. Heeley was then taxed with it, and he admitted that it was so. Mr. Lewis said there was no doubt the system had been going on to a great extent, and for a long time past, and as some more bills had been found in the name of Jones, and there had not been time to investigate the books, he wished for a remand. The prisoners were then remanded for a week. MANSLAUGHTER,—EIiza Waterfield, of Union-street, Middlesex Hospital, was charged before Mr. Knox by Inspector Garforth with causing the death of her husband, Alfred Thomas "Waterfield, a tailor and clothes dealer, by striking hiin on the head with some instrument. Mr. T. Beard, of Basinghall-street, attended for the pri soner. Mrs. Woolton, of Poland-street, said that on Monday, Nov. 23, she went to Mrs. Waterfield's to return a book. After some conversation with Mr. Waterfield in the shop she went into the parlour, and Mrs. Waterfield came in. Mr. and Mrs. Waterfield had a few words about the book or books, and Mr. Waterfield struck Mrs. Waterfield on the head, and blows were then exchanged, and Mrs. Waterfield ran into the shop and held the door to prevent her husband following her. The door came open, and Mr. Waterfield went into the shop, and she (witness) then ran into the street. Mr. Knox asked whether the witness saw any instrument in the hands of either, and the witness said she did not. A minute afterwards she saw Mr. Waterfield coma out bleed ing, and the constable took him to the hospital, but she saw no more of Mrs. Waterfield, and knew no more of the matter. _ _ In answer to Mr. Beard, the witness said that Mr. Water field was not sober. The door flew back suddenly. Mr. James Kettle, of Union-street, said he was passing the shop on the night in question. Heard words taking place, and saw one on each side the counter, Mrs. Water field was in the act of coming out when Mrs. Waterfield returned and struck Mr. Waterfield with some instrument, and witness saw him bleeding. She then went into the parlour and sat down, and the police then came and he was taken to the hospital. In answer to Mr. Beard, the witness said that Mr. Water fieid appeared to be pursuing his wife when she struck him. He had never said it was done with a yard measure, neither did he believe it was done with the iron bar produced. He knew that the prisoner had been subjected to much bruta lity from her husband, who was frequently drunk. Police-constable Thomas Boyce, 55 E, said that while passing the house on the night of the 23d the heard a dis turbance and saw Mrs. Waterfieid come out of the shop, and lean for a minute or two on something. She then entered the house again, and directly after he saw Mrs. Waterfield strike her husband with he believed to be a piece of iron, Mr. Waterfield at the time coming out of the parlour into the shop, in which there was a gas light. He could hear the blow distinctly, and about a minute afterwards Mr. Waterfield came to the door bleed ing, and calling out " Police." On going across Mr. Water field told him to take her into custody. He went into the parlour to see what sort of wound Mr. Waterfield had re ceived, and on coming out the prisoner was gone. He then took Mr. Waterfield to the hospital, and after the surgeon had dressed the wound he took him home again. On tak ing Mr. Waterfield home he saw a piece of iron there, but could not say it was the instrument the blow was given with. . _ Mr. Pyle, house surgeon at the Middlesex Hospital, having given evidence, a nurse to the hospital deposed to Mrs. Waterfield telling her that it was accidentally done through the giving way of tip door, but Inspector Garforth who took the prisoner into custody, said that she told him that she did it with a yard measure, and in self-defence. The prisoner was committed for trial. MARK-LANE. There was less activity in the demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. The samples on sale were moderately good ; nevertheless, prices were, in most instances, supported. Barley—the supply of which was large—moved off slowly at about previous rates. . Oats, beans, peas, and flour were in fair average request on former terms. At New York the price of wheat, flour, and maize con tinues to advance. According to our latest advices, how ever, the export demand was of very moderate extent, On the Continent the trade remains firm. The arrivals of wheat up to our market last week were but moderate. Of other produce, however, the receipts were tolerably large. The imports from abroad amounted to 10,395 quarters of wheat, 8,482 barley, 18,696 oats, 69 beans, 938 peas, 365 tares, 8,936 linseed, 1,088 oilseeds, 8S sundry seeds, 730 sacks and 550 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals o homegrown wheat were but moderate both from Essex and Kent. The samples were for the most part received in but middling condition. There were several buyers in the mar ket from Scotland, and all good and fine dry samples changed hands to a fair extent, and last Monday's improve ment in pric9s was steadily supported. For damp produce the trade was much less active than on Monday last, and sales could only be effected by submitting to a decline in the currency of Is, per quarter. A total clearance of the supply was not effected. The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was by no means extensive. Considerable importations having been recently made direct to the millers, the trade presented a very quiet appearance. In prices, compared with Mon day last, no alteration took place, but the tendency was cer tainly in favour of buyers. Floating cargoes of gr,tin were less active; nevertheless prices ruled stationary. The supply of English and foreign barley was mode rately good. Generally speaking the trade was quiet, yet previous quotations were supported. In good and fine malting qualities, however, a fair average business was transacted. The trade for malt was in a sluggish state, at barely late rates. There was an increased supply of oats on offer compared with Monday last, the show of samples being moderately good. In nearly all qualities a fair average business was transacted, and the quotations were steadily supported. Beans came to hand more freely. Mazagans were less active, and rather cheaper. Tick, harrow, and pigeon qualities moved off slowly, at late prices. • Peas—of which there was an increased supply on offer— sold slowly at late rates. The flour trade was quiet. Barrels, however, supported the recent improvement in their value, and English descrip • tions ruled firm in price. CURRENCY PER IMPERJAL MEASURE.

O wing to the recent gales there was a falling off in the supply of foreign stock exhibited for sale here to• day, and the trade ruled firm, at, in most instances, full quotations. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts, fresh up, were moderate as to numbers, and there was a decided improvement in the general quality of the stock. Compared with Monday last, there was rather less activity in the demand for most breeds, and that day's quotations were not, in all instances, supported. The top figure for beef was 5s 2d ; but several very prime Scots and crosses changed hands at 5a per Blbs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,000 shorthorns, &c.—from Norfolk, 100 Scots and crosses—from Scotland, 220 Scots —from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers—and from other parts of the kingdom, 700 of various breeds. The supply of sheep on sale was small, but the general quality of the stock was tolerably prime. For all breeds the trade was very firm, and a clearance was readily effected. The prices realised were 2d per tilbs. in advance of Monday last. Prime heavy Downs sold at 5s 101b— prime small du 6s—and, in some instances, at 6s 21b per Sibs. The supply of calves on sale was small, and the trade ruled firm at Thursday's advance in the quotations, the top quotation being 5s per 81bs.

They opened with considerable anima tion, at an advance of hi to lid per lb on Australian, and of ad to ld "per lb on Cape produce. After a few auctions had been bell, the activity greatly increased, and superior Australian and New Zealand flocks realised 2d per lb more money than at the previous series. Subsequently the de mand fell off, and the rates then current were the same as at the commencement, but the sales closed with firmness, at those quo,ations. The quantity of Cape wool offered amounted to 28,150 bales. Greasy parcels ware taken freely, at 9id to lli per lb for export to America, but with the excep tion of a few superior clips from Algoa Bay, the quality of the produce from this colony was somewhat unsatisfactory. There was a large arrival from New Zealand, comprising 15,729 bales. The quantity of New South Wales and Queensland produce offered was 13,699, of Victorian 10,081, of Tasmanian 2,529, and of S o uth Aust ralian 1,207 bales The following prices were realised during the series : Sydney—Flocks, Is 6d to 2s 5d ; scoured (lamb) and fleece, STATEMENT OF TALLOW SHIPPING AT ST.

HOLYHEAD, Deo. 5. Captain Priest, R.N., reports :—" It is very sad to con template the loss of life that has occurred here during the recent hurricane. But, happily the lifeboat of the National Institution has been the means, under God, of rescuing 48 poor creatures from inevitable death. She was compelled to halt for a short time during the height of the fearful storm. There was no sort of holding back on the part of the noble fellows who manned her, but they saw the im possibility of managing the boat in that terrible wind and sea, and returned Kith hearts sore at their first failure, I believe that, had the lifeboat entered the cauldron of moving water at that time, not a soul of her crew would have returned. At two o'clock in the afternoon tho lifeboat, went off and brought ashore the crew of four men of the schooner Elizabeth, of Carnarvon. Again at two o'clock in the morning she went in the darkness and rescued 23 men from the barque Confiance of Liverpool, then again put off and brought ashore 19 men from the barque Elizabeth Morion of Glasgow, and next proceeded to the schooner L'Esperance of Nantes, and saved two men. She afterward visited other wrecks of which there are 16, involving a loss of 18 lives. I never remember such a fearful storm in this locality. The captain of one of the wrecked vessels saw the lifeboat run ning down towards him in the early part of the day, and in the midst of his own deep distress, was magnanimous enough to utter a hope that she would not come to them, because, to use his own words, " she would have been tumbled over and over like a cork." I believe that would have been the fate of any floating thing but the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution. Bunn IlAvnx, Saturday Night. It has been a fearful day here. No heavier surf rolls upon the shores of Great Britain than on this part of the Cornish coast. Yesterday a large dismasted ship was ob served at the north of Shark's Nose, supposed to be about ten miles distant. The terrible force of the sea on the coast rendered it absolutely impossible for any lifeboat to contend with it. In vain did the noble lifeboat of the National Life boat Institution attempt to surmount the fearful breakers, and after an arduous and perilous pull they were compelled to return to the shore. lam happy to say, adds Mr, Wm. Rowe, Lloyd's agent, that it is reported that all the crew of the vessel are saved. FISHGARD, Saturday Night. It has been raging a fearful gale on this coast since Thursday. On the afternoon of that day the skip Dublin, of Dublin, was seen coming into the bay, and while endea vouring to reach the roadstead, where several vessels were lying at anchor, her foretopsail was oarried away. Having no other topsail the vessel became quite unmanageable and rapidly drifted on the rocks, Immediately the vessel was seen to strike the lifeboat of the institution was despatched to the rescue of the crew, but fortunately they had succeeded in scrambling up the rocks, and afterwards reached the shore in safety. Only 35 minutes elapsed from the time the lifeboat left the boathouse until her crew landed on the beach, a distance of three miles. ST. IvEs, Saturday Night. Yesterday, a schooner was observed on shore on Lelant Sand, west of Hoyle Bar, about three miles from this sta tion. There was a heavy sea on at the time. The lifeboat of the National Institution was at once manned and launched. On arriving alongside the vessel, over which the sea was breaking heavily, no one was found on board. She proved to be the French schooner Clementine, from Swansea to Rochelle. It was this afternoon discovered that the crew had abandoned the vessel in their own boat, and had fortunately succeeded in reaching the shore. AYERYSTWITR, Saturday, 5 p.m. News reached here this afternoon by special messenger from Aberayron, a town a b o ut 15 miles south of this place, that a large brig was out riding at a nehor, with the masts out away and signals of distress flying. N o boat from that neighbourhood could venture out to her owing to th e h eav y sea running. Immediately we received this int e lli gence th e lifeboat of the National In stitution was despatched to the assistance of the vessel. She is out now and will pr o bably remain out all night, the wind being dead again s t h er , 10 P.M.—The night is p it c h dark, and it is feared the life boat will not be able to fetch the vessel in time t o b e o f an y service, but up to this tim e la °tl.ng has been seen of her.

DRUNKEN RAILWAY PASSENGERS.—WiIIiam Richards and Sarah King, two middle-aged persons, were charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Vic toria Railway Statior, Pimlico. James Parish, a police-constable , employed at the station, said that defendants were there on Saturday evening; one intending to go by Liao Crystal Palace line to Balham, and the other to Streatham. As they were so drunk aa to be unfit to go with safety, they were requested to leave the station, where they were creating some confusion, and as they refused witness was compelled to remove them. When opposite the hotel they created a great disturbance, and a number of persons assembled. As it was found impossible to get them away, they were taken to the station and locked up. Female defendant—The only disturbance I made was I screamed when the policeman laid hold of me and hurt me. Mr. Selfe—You were drunk, ma'am, they say. Female defendant—l was not drunk. I had only t a k en two or three glasses of rum and water, and I am sure that that could not hurt me. Mr. Selfe—l cannot estimate the quality of rum and water you may take without getting drunk, but I should think that under ordinary circumstances two or three glasses of rum and water would go well towards it. Female defendant—This man told me that I had better go by the 9.10 train, and I certainly told him it was like his impudence, and I should go when I liked. I met the man, and he carried my parcel as he was going to Balham, and I was going to Streatham. Male defendant—l em under a physician, and a very little liquor takes effect on me. Female defendant—l am very much bruised and marked by the way ho used me. Shall I show your worship my arms and Mr. Selfe—O dear me—no. I thank you. Have they been locked up since then? Police-constable —The male defendant the whole time, the female till mid-day yesterday, Mr. Selfe discharged them: THAMES. FATAL PUGILISTIC RENCONTRE—A MAN DROWNED. —Thomas Symes, a lighterman, who is very respectably connected, and employed at Messrs Lock's extensive lead works, at Horsleydown, for the last two years, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with manslaughter, Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, defended the prisoner. This was a most unfortunate affair. The deceased, George Carter, a labourer, and another man named Macdonald were employed in landing a barge called the Fanny, off Hore's Warf, Wapping, on Saturday night. The prisoner received orders from the master to navigate the barge to the East India dock, and went on board for the purpose of taking charge of the barge, and a quarrel took place between him and deceased. From words they came to blows and fought. They closed, and in the soul& which took place both men went overboard. A man named Lygon immediately lowered the barge's hitcher (a long staff with an iron hook at the end), and the prisoner grasped the hitcher and was saved. Carter was carried away by the tide and drowned. His body was not reeovered. The defence set up by Mr. Stoddard was that great pro vocation was given by the deceased. Mr. Woolrych remanded the prisoner. LIVERPOOL, Dec. 6.--Bermuda, Nov. 15.—The steamer Lucy, Captain Duguid, has sailed for a Southern port.

MAJOR lELVERTON, it is said, has taken up his residence in Melbourne, LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF EXCHEQUER. It was generally believed that their lordships the Barons of Exchequer would give judgment in the great Alexandra case—The Queen v. Sillem—this morning, and conse quently there was a very large attendance of the public in the court at a very early hour. Amongst the better in formed it was well known that such would not be the case, and it was not until the Lord Chief Baron and Baron Channell took their seats at 11 o'clock that the belief that had taken possession of the large assemblage was dispelled. The Lord Chief Baron said the court would now give judgment in various causes which had been ordered to stand over for consideration, the first of which was ROBERTSON V. POWELL. It was an action of ejectment to obtain possession of certain property bequeathed to the plaintiff. After fully considering the case, the court was of opinion the judgment ought to be for the plaitttiff, and therefore the rule for a non. s nit would be discb.zzged. FLTILLEY V. BATES. Baron Channel' gave judgment in this case. The action tried was, whether defendant had entered into an agreement to purchase the whole, or part, of a heap of, fire clay which the plaintiff had raised to the surface from one of his mines in Staffordshire. The plaintiff contended the whole had been sold the defendantbeing of opinion that he was only compelled to take as much as he required at 2s. per ton. The jury returned, by consent, for the plaintiff, with £ll2 damages, the value of the fire-clay the defendant refused to clear away, at the same time giving the defendant leave to move the court to enter the verdict to plaintiff to move. This course was adopted, and the arrangements having been heard, their lordships took lime to consider their decision. Their judgment was now that the verdict of the jury ought to stand, and the rule obtained by the defendant for the re duction of the damages discharged. WOOD V. LONDON DOCK COMPANY. Their lordships refused to allow the appeal asked for. HUGHES V. 31'11E—ABBOTT V. M'PIE. These cases were tried at Liverpool before Mr. Edward James, Q.C., when a non-suit was entered in each. The action was brought by the next friend of the plaintiff, an infant who was injured in consequence of the falling of a covering over a cellar belonging to defendant. The chil dren were at play near the place, and from some cause or other the flap fell down, striking and injuring the two boys. The defendant resisted the demand for compensa tion on the ground that had not the child interferes in some way or other with the fastenings the flap would never have fallen. Their lordships were of opinion that the judgment of Mr. James in the first case was correct, and therefore the non-suit ought to stand. With respect to the second case, the Court thought there ought to be a rehearing. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. There was only one case set down for trial in this court. On this an arrangement was come to which precluded the necessity of going to a special jury. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. A fair inquiry at Saturday's . rates. Sales, pro bably 4,000 bales. COTTON IN THE RIVER PLATE. Cotton•growing is occupying attention nearly everywhere on the River Plate, and we are pro mised great things in the course of a few years. The Cotton Supply Association of Manchester had sent out 20 bags of cotton seed for distribution, and several cotton-growing companies had been esta• blished in Corrientes, under the auspices of the governor of that province. The Estancieros in other parts of the Argentine Republic have also sown cotton seed with the most hopeful prospects, and in Paraguay the same spirit is beginning to animate the native population. The Buenos Ayres Standard, which may justly claim great credit for the energy with whieh it has promoted the cultiva tion of cotton in the River Plate, in its European summary refers to the subject as follows ;—" Our foreign readers who take an interest in Argentine prosperity will be pleased to know that over three tons of the very best cotton seed of all descriptions have beer, distributed, and are already planted in the parts of this nation most adapted to the growth of cotton. Our philanthropic and sterling triends in Manchester will hear with delight that millions and millions of cotton plants are at present over ground. We promise the English manufacturers 5,000 bales of cotton from the River Plate this sea son, and 100,000 the next. In payment for our cotton bales we ask neither gold sovereigns nor ounces, but railway iron, cotton goods, coal, &c. There are some who laugh at our predictions, but we will ' not bate one jot.' In a year or two, if we have peace, the River P at) will be to England what the once prosperous United States of North America were—the supplier of staples, the con sumers of manufactures. We are all here as yet in our infancy—our future is great, and England is regarded as the best friend of the Argentine na tion."—Brazil and River Plate Mail. SHIPPING—This Day.

The People's Theatre—alias the Britannia Theatre, Hoxton, (From the Queen ) Entering the portals inscribed " box-entrance," we were not long in finding Mr. S. Lane, the proprietor and mana ger of both theatre and tavern, waiting to receive use. Hav ing been kindly treated by this gentleman on a former occasion, I had:given him notice of our purposed visit, and the hospitable good-nature with which he received us made rue very glad that I had done so. He at once led the Way, through the handsome, well- appointed tavern, into the theatre. As we passed the money-taker's place wo noticed that the prices were set at the moderate rate of 2s, for a seat in the stage-boxes ; ls. for the boxes and stalls ; pit, 6d ; lower gallery, 4d. ; and upper gallery 3d. There is half-price to the boxes, pit, and gallery, beginning ia over b y begineleven. A s wat eight and h alf-past eight o'clock respectively. The performances every e evenin gpassed u p the a thalf- stairs pa and s t six, and all lobbies leading into the house, we could not help noticing first, the almost unadorned solidity of the building ; secondly, the ample width and commodiousness of the passages, affording the easiest means of rapid exit and entrance to the large audience which this theatre is capable of containing; thirdly, the scrupulously cleanly state in which everything was kept ; and, fourthly, the excellent ventilation. These enqua lities are, moreover, equally noti cea b le all through the g theatre. The auditorium (as Mr. Bou c i cault has it) was as fresh and cool tehbeyenadveorfy numerous eevin—having be en oc cupied a udience—as it was at the b eg inning. The decorations of the l o bb ies and stair cases are very simple —th e brickw ork being left q u i te b are a of plaster, Lord Palmerston's favourite stucco, or imitation marble. A few sky-borders (as they are technically t ermed), imitating umbrageous foliage, and lighted up with coloured oil lamps, are the only decoration employed, and they ' level a very fresh and tasty effect. Mr. Lane ushered us into a very confortable stage-box, whence a very good view of the audience could be obtained. The reader who hears of the Britannia for the first time, may be surprised at hearing that the salle is nearly as large as Drury-lane, andj that it will hold 4,000 people, exclusive of babies in arms. Nor must it be supposed that these extra little—vocalists, not auditors—make an insignificant addition to the sum of human souls who enjoy their evenings under Mr. Lane's auspices. If their pre sence and numbers were not made everywhere, and at all times, manifest, by the cries and demonstrations around you, the playbill itself must call attention to the important part which they play at the Britannia Theatre. "Persona bringing children," enjoins that document, "must please keep them quiet, or take them out of the theatre ; the public complaining of the obstruction to the acting." The audience generally seemed to be composed of what poli tical writers call the lower middle classes, small shop keepers, and the better kinds of artificers, with their wives and families. Comparing this with former experience at other cheap theatres, we saw no ill-manners, heard no chaf fing, saw no symptom even of a brawl or of a drunkard, nor any blackguard smoking a pipe with his coat off. Indeed, if the truth must be spoken, we have seldom seen a \Vest -end audience behave with such uniform good temper and good taste as the audience at the People's Theatre, Hex ton. They laughed when they ought to do, and melted to tears at the proper places. Not once in the evening did wo hear the cry, " Turn him out," nor did they even commit the vulgarity so common at more fashionable houses, of cheering and " jollying" the footmen when they came on to clear the stage, a witticism which a West-end audience sel dom omits. Indeed, a greater contrast than between this large body of decent, orderly:people, and the ramping, roar ing, swearing, swilling, and odoriferous audience of the New Cut, it would be difficult to imagine. The difference between the people who occupied the various parts of the house was not very perceptible to the unassisted vision; in deed I question whether it consisted of much beyond the willingness of some to pay a shilling and others but six pence. The playbill informed us that "no person" could be " admitted to boxes or stalls unless suitably attired," but I failed to discover any very remarkable standard of suit ability, seeing that cloth caps were as common wear in the stalls as in the pit, and that babies in arms squalled, as if aroused thereto by the big drum, right under the shadow of the footlights. In answer to a question put by myself, Mr. Lane replied that the audiences by no means came exclu sively from the neighbourhoods immediately surrounding. " Oh I they come froin much farther than Charing-cross, I can assure you ; we have families come five or six miles; from Greenwich and Woolwich, and from Hackney and. the East India Docks, and sometimes out of Essex." The house itself has a handsome ornate appearance, as well decorated, in every respect, as need be. The lighting comes from a number of small gaseliers, suspended from the ceiling. Mr. Lane recommended us, before addressing ourselves to a careful consideration of the performances, to take a tour of inspection, through which he very kindly conducted us. " Behind the scenes" (that region so fairy like and so desirable to the imaginative young gentleman who has never penetrated it, and so commonplace to all who have ever wandered within its sacred limits) we found everything as like the same kind of thing in the West-end theatre as it was possible to be. The same maze of flats and flies and slots and grooves ; the same kind of car-. penters (vulgarly called scene-shifters) lurking in the wings and down in the mezzonine floor; similar fierce- looking heroes, mustachioed, feathered, red-legged and slashed as to their breeches; similar fairies in tights and tarlatans, flit. ting and sparkling about. It is true that the latter displayed a little more emotion and surprise at the sight of strangers than the nonchalant young ladies in the employment of Mr. Gye and Mr. Mapleson would have done; but this was, ire our case, attributable—at least, so we thought—to the pre tence of our juvenile companion. Girls are so fond of in fants you know. In the painting and property rooms, we found activeentem pantomime. parations already going on for the Christmas p tai glories,. intended to beautify the Bower of Bliss, o Masks of grotesque appearance and Dutch-metal Region of w ith gorgeous Calm Delight, were mingled in profusion I sk l y r. -b L e a r n d e ers o do g ubt of it.

But, as some compensation, there were vast dishes full of hand.. some substantial sandwiches of beef and ham, neatly made, of capital meat and bread of unexceptionable whiteness. The price of these sandwiches (oneof which would be ample supper for a man of moderate appetite, whilst two would, gorge an ogre) is twopence each. These were flanked with freshly made pies of veal and ham ; huge wedges of bread, supporting large slices of rich golden Cheshire or double Gloucester; heaps of savoury polonies, and bushels of apples, oranges, and nuts. I saw no spirits vended in the refectory, and believe that those who want them must go outside the theatre, to the tavern, to obtain them ; but the beer engine was in active work, pouring forth potent floods of capital foaming porter and beer, and, for the more ab stemious, there was quite an army of ginger beer bottles with their corks carefully tied down.
