S HREWSBURY and BIRMINGHAM RAILIN7AY, To W. R. COLLETT, Esq., M.P., SIR,—It really scorns conduct of almost incredible inconsistency on your part to issue the advertisement which has lately appeared from yonr Board (and whose object is only to delay the progress of In quiry), after your own statement at the Meeting on the 2d inst., that you would court investigation, and" your absolutely seconding the re solution to that effect. The whole tenor, indeed, of that advertise ment, which you signed, or, more probably, prompted, Is fallacious and jesuitical, from the array of names at the head, many of which belong to gentlemen absent from town, and who could know nothing of your proceeding, to the promise at the conclusion that a General Mt eting should beheld as soon as it is consistent with the interests of the Company. By this latter clause you mean, possibly, " when it is consistent with the interests of the lawyers," who are, it is well known, well cared for, though not too well, by the members of your Board I rejoice to perceive that th Committee of Investigation do not in tend to allow your announcement to stop them in completing the im portant task they have undertaken.

The great stars of the opera have risen. Grisi and Lablache made their first appearance last night ; and Les Danseuses Viennoises, those wonderful chhdren who have created such a sensation among the world of fashion on the Continent—who would have ap peared here at the commencement of the opera season, had nut obstacles to all appearance insurmountable in terposed—have at length made their debiit. It appears that the guardians of these children had heard sad re ports of the doings in this island of ours. They had heard of kidnapping, they feared the children would be stolen, therefore they would not permit them to come among us savage islanders. They had heard of Exeter Hall, and of those who con gregated therein they dreaded the Protestant propaganda, they feared that these good Catholic chil dren might be by some mesmeric and mysterious means perverted unto heresy, therefore they would not permit them to come. However, Mr. Lumley at length suc ceeded in convincing them that the English generally were neither savages nor fanatics ; and, thanks to his exertions and tact, we have them here, and most wonder ful children they certainly are. We hate been for some years past in the constant habit of attending the per formances at her Majesty's Theatre, and in the course of that attendance we have seen some of the very first dancers in the world, Taglioni, the Ellslers, Cerito, Carlotta Grisi, and Lucille Grahn. As solo dancers, if we may be allowed to make use of the term, these stand unrivalled. The corps de ballet, too, of this theatre is admirable ; but, to use a Parliamentary phrase, "we are free to confess" that, until we saw these Dauseuses Viennoisse last evening, we had no idea of the perfection to which the cheorographic art may be brought. These children, some thirty in number, are of all ages from 16 to 8; but although they vary in age they are, all equally talented. They performed last evening their pas— L'Allemande L'Hongroise (a sort of ensemble Polka) — and the pas deFleurs. A well drilled regiment going through its manoeuvres—an accurate piece of machinery per forming certain given movements in certain given times, may give a taint idea of the dancing of these children. We say a faint idea, because in the regiment there will be certain members of the awkward squad, and there are none among the Danseuses Viennoises, and in the machinery there will be a want of vitality and spirit, and there is no want of it among those children. It is a perfect combination of accuracy and spirit—and as a German chorus is the perfection of harmony of sound, so is the dancing of these children the perfection of harmony of motion. Not the least attrac tive part of the performance too is that they are chil dren—you feel they are children—there is the joyo usness, the spirit, the freedom, the freshness of childhood about everything they do. We were about to say that it was evident they were engaged in a labour of love—but the phrase would be inaccurate, it is no labour to them, it is play—it is sport—it is enjoyment, and they are quite as much delighted as the audience. The arrival of these children is an era in the history of the ballet. The improvement which has taken place in our choruses, since perform. ances of the German Opera in this country, is marked and decided ; and if we mistake not the appearance of Les Daweuses Viennoises will occasion quite as great an improvement in the drilling and manceuvring of the cope de balltt. Certain it is, that these who have not seen these children can form no idea of what a cops de ballet ou;.,rht to be. They can know nothing of the har mony of motion. It is needless to add, that the applause with which they were received was most enthusiastic. Seldom, indeed, have the walls - of her Majesty's Theatre resounded as they did last night, and never was ap plause more richly merited. But Les Danseuses Viennoises must not make us forget the opera. It was Norma with Grisi as Norma, Lablache as Oroveso, Moriani as Pollio, and Mademoiselle Rosetti as Adalgisa. Never has this opera been more strongly cast—never has it been more perfectly performed—Grisi and Lablache were both in excellent voice, and exerted themselves to the utmost. The Casts Diva was magnificently given. Rcsetti's Adalgisa was very beautiful, as apiece of acting, pathetic and subdued, e very point told, and told well, w th ou t any visible effort; there was no straining after effect. As a piece of vocalization it was perfect, her intonation was critically correct, her expression beautiful. Moriani has made the part of Pollio. It has hitherto been the fashion among tenors to avoid appearing in Pollio, if possible, or if found to accept the part, they have slovened it over in the most careless manner possible. No audience, until last night, has had an opportunity of judging of the capabilities of the part—Moriani has created it. Would that Bellini had lived to have seen him •to have known that there was one singer at least who thought more of his art than of himself, who took the pains to study the meaning of the Maestro ; and who had the power of developing that meaning to its fullest extent.— Nothing could exceed the impassioned intensity of Mo riani, his tones were thrilling and with the full .remem brance of the Casta Diva and of the De conte, which was beautifully given by . Grisi and Rosetti, we have no hesitation in saying that the concluding trio of the first act, "Oh di qual to sei vittima," by Grisi, Moriani, and Rosetti, was the gem of the opera last evening. and the audience were of the same opinion, for it was the only piece honoured with an encore. At the conclusion Moriani and Grisi were called for and received with loud applause. The ballet of &line concluded the evening's entertainments. The house was crowded by a fashionable audience within five minutes after the doors were opened. His Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh -Strehtz. arrived before the commencement of the opera. Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured the theatre by their presence. They arrived shortly after the commencement of the opera, and remained until nearly the conclusion of the ballet. • Silt WALTER SCOTT ON BEAUTY.—III one of the delightful descriptions of female loveliness which adorn the pages of this interesting writer, he alludes to a fra- , grant and balmy mouth and pearly set of teeth, as rank ing among the fist attributes of feminine beauty.

CROWN COURT—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) THE MURDER AT GREAT YARMOUTIL—Robert Richard Royal, aged 24; James Mapes, aged 24 ; and James Hall, aged 21, pleaded " Not Guilty" to an indictment charging them with the wilful murder of Harriet Candler, at Great Yarmouth, on the 18th of November last. Mr. O'Malley conducted the case for the prosecution ; Mr. Prendergast defended the prisoners Royal and Hall ; and Mr. Crouch appeared for Mapes. Mr. O'MALLEY opened the case, and from his statement, coupled with the testimony of numerous witnesses, the fol lowing circumstantial outline of the facts connected with this bloody deed might be gathered : The deceased, Harriet Candler, was an old woman occupy ing a portion of a house in Howard-street, Great Yarmouth, where she carried on a general business, dealing in grocery and tobacco in the front room, and "keeping" and sleeping in two others at the back. These rooms, which were all on the ground floor, are separated from others occupied by a Mr. Catchpole, in the same house, by a passage, the walls being of lath and plaster only, through which the slighest noise could be heard. Mr. Catchpole, it appears, is a solicitor, and occupied apartments in these premises as the lodger of a man named Yarham, who, as well as his wife, acted as his servant. Not long before her death Mrs. Candler had received a legacy, which had been long anticipated by her, and had frequently been talked of by her very unguardedly, and when it did come she openly mentioned the sum, which she said had fallen far short of her expectation, its amount being only 1501., which she had been paid by a cheque for 1001. on a bank, and in notes and gold, all of which she was undoubtedly well known by her neighbours to have in her possession Living alone in her shop, the old lady was in the habit of going regularly every night, about ten o'clock, for her beer, to the Black Swan public-house, hard by her house. On the night in question she went as usual. At two o'clock next morning police-constables Waller and Johnson were going their rounds through Howard-street, and, as they passed the house of the deceased, one of them pushed against the door, on which it gave way. On entering, they found the shop and parlour in darkness, but, by the light of their lanterns, they could see that a candlestick was on the counter, while on the parlour table stood the unfinished beer and the remains of a frugal meal, which plainly showed that the old woman had been disturbed not long after her return from the Black Swan. Not being able to make any one hear, though they frequently knocked with their truncheons against the counter and partitions, they lighted the candle, and on examining the counter, behind which was the till drawer, they discovered the body of the deceased, quite cold and dead, doubled up on the floor in a pool of blood, her throat being deeply cut on one side, while her head was almost smashed by blows dealt on the back with some blunt instrument, as if she had been struck in the act of stooping to get something from beneath the counter. On the counter near the body was a knife covered with lard and blood. As soon as the sergeant came from the station-house the alarm was given on all sides, and among other persons the inmates in Mr. Catchpole's house were roused up, the bell being answered by Yarham from a window. When he came down, he, in answer to the inquiries of the police, replied that he had not heard any noise in Mrs. Candler's house, though he had been sitting up all night for his master till one o'clock, and that he had been to buy some rushlights at her shop that night at ten o'clock, when he saw and conversed with her, and left her well. Notwithstanding this, the po lice very properly searched the adjoining premises, and though nothing was found to implicate Yarham, he was taken into custody, as well as the prisoners at the bar, against whom suspicion was directed in consequence of their having beeti seen loitering about the premises on the evening before the murder and after it during the night. The strongest circumstance, however, arose from the discovery of a bag of money, bearing the superscription, " Mrs. Candler, by rail to Yarmouth," which was found secreted in the " Denes," a sandy . district surrounding Yarmouth, by two women on the morning after the murder, who, observing that the sand had recently been disturbed near a heap of broken glass, conceived that the latter had been erected as a landmark to guida the murdelera to the recovery of their plunder. They accordingly dug near the footmarks of two men, which they particularly noticed at the time, and very soon came to the bag and money. While so employed they saw the prisoner Royal hanging over some palings not far off, and apparently watching them, and they were soon afterwards-joined by him, when he said, "There ought to be a check too." The property so singularly recovered was placed in the hands of the police, and it being stated by a private watchman that two men resembling Royal and Mapes had been seen going towards the "Denes," and to stoop down at the identical spot, those two men were arrested. Nothing, however, came out to justify their committal, and the parties suspected were all discharged. On further consideration they were again taken up, and on the 30th of December the shoes of Royal and Mapes were examined and pronounced by the women to make impressions exactly resembling those they had noticed in the sand. Beyond these vague circumstances there was nothing whatever to implicate the prisoners in the commission of the murder except the evidence of the man Yarham, who about the same time professed his readiness to make a statement of what he knew ; and ultimately gave the following evidence : Samuel Yarliam—l am a shoemaker, of Great Yarmouth, and occupied the premises in which Mr. Catchpele resided. My wife lived with me. I slept in a room adjoining Mr. Catchpole's, over Mrs. Candler's parlour. Mr. Catchpole lived there at the time of the murder. I was sitting up in my room for Mr. Catchpole, and had prepared some gruel ; I was in my keeping-room next to the kitchen down stairs. The keeping-room is separated from the hall in which the staircase is by a wall. I went out of my house at a quarter past ten o'clock on the night of the 18th of No vember, and went to Mrs. Candler's to get two rushlights. She served me, and I had some conversation with her. My wife was then down stairs. In a quarter of an hour after my return my wife went up to bed ; and I went up about eleven o'clock. I came down again in a few minutes after. I came into the ball, and then heard a noise in Mrs. Cand ler's shop ; it was a scuffling noise, as if some people were walking about. I went to Mr. Catchpole's front door, and into the street to Mrs. Candler's front door, which I found fastened. I tried the door and knocked. No one answered. I saw a light through the fanlight over the door. There was something across the window. I saw in at the sides, and I then went through Mr. Catchpole's house into the back yard, and saw the reflection of a light through Mrs. Candler's keeping-room window, which I knocked at over the wall which separated her premises from Mr. Catchpole's. No one answered me. I then came back again through the hall into the street, and stood on the step of Mr. Catchpole's door. While I was standing there I saw two men ; one man was crossing the street, and the other coming out of Mrs. Candler's shop door. The man crossing had a bundle under his arm ; the man coming out of the shop-door put his hand up to put aside some obstruction to its shutting, and then he put the door to. A man and a woman were standing near Hou chen's-row. It was Royal who was coming out of the door. I said, " What are you about ?" He said, "Go on, Jickey," or Jigger, I don't know which. He said to me, " B—t you, if you say anything, I'll serve you the same." I sa id, " What do you mean ? He said, "We were told she'd got some money, and we've been after, or have got it," I can't say which. Whilst I was speaking to him the man who was crossing went up Houchen's-row, and the man and woman previously standing there followed. I again spoke to Royal, who said, " B—t you, if you say anything, I'll serve you out ;" and asked if I lived there ? He then. said, " give you a sovereign." 'When he "b—" me asked Min Where was the woman? He said he'd not sea her. I asked, " Wasn't she at home?" and he said, "We knocked her down behind the counter." I said," Good God! you've not killed the woman ?" and he said, " I don't think 'we have, but I left her there—don't blow of an old playfellow, and you shall have a share in the dole." • He then followed the other party up the same row. I then took the candle which was standing in Mr. Catchpole's hall and went into the shop. I went behind the counter on the right hand side, and saw nothing; I then went to the left hand counter, and saw the body of Mrs. Candler under the counter. I felt very much alarmed, and went back into our keeping-room, and considered about it. I remained there two hours, till Mr. Catchpole came home, which was about half-past one o'clock. I saw him when he came home, and he went to bed about half-past one o'clock, and so did 1. 'When I had been . in bed an hour and a half I was awakened by the ringing of the bell. I looked out of the window, and saw Sergeant Williments. I have since seen the man who was crossing the street, and Fee him here to-day—it is the prisoner Hall. Cross-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—I first saw Mr. Catchpole, and gave him a candle to go to bed with. I had a hammer, and the police found it. It is a shoemaker's hammer. I did not tell the police anything. I had no ham mer, and so I borrowed one of my father when I wanted one. They found no hammer by itself, but with some other tools. I'll swear that when I left on the Ist of December the police found no hammer when they searched my place. Certainly not on Tuesday. The day after the murder they found no hammer there. Horn, the policeman, found my tools. I'll swear that when they found my tools there was a ham mer amongst them. 1 lived in London seven and a halt years. I found my wife in London.

I was in bed r w . n Catchpole my wife when the bell rung, and I wa s aslee p . M had been in about an hour and a-half. It wnaos information half pastation to• Mr. Catchpole.

I have no other reason than those I have stated. I knew Royal was detained in custody on Tuesday. When I saw the poor woman I did'nt go round the counter. Her head was leaning over the left shoulder. When the men went away they left me standing in the street. I no ticed the wound by the side of her neck. She was fronting towards the street. I did notice it was a bloody wound, and saw the blood. I did not stay long enough to see how much. I went out, and put the sacking up against the fan light, and closed the door. I was present when James Hall was examined, and heard he was called "Jigger" Hall. It was not till after I gave information that I saw Hall. 1 said nothing about "Jigger." I heard him so called before the magistrates. It was a fortnight after I had been exa• mined, that I spoke of the conversation in which he was called "Jigger." I should not know the man or the woman who stood by Houch en ' s • row. A m t r. t p he ßE cl .s o n se m o o f . t ,t h sT e c :o s s e e fo to r the prosecution, the ecut ton jur y ' on behalf of Royal and Hall, a n d i n t h e course of hisaddress imputed to the witness Yarham the whole guilt of this most mysterious case ; concluding with the intimation of his intention to disprove the case against his clients by witnesses, who would show that they were at two public louses at different parts of the town at the time when the murder was perpe trated. When the Learned Counsel had brought. his speech to a conclusion, His LORDSHIP adjourned the further hearing of the case till to• morrow morning. The Court assembled on Tuesday, at eight o'clock, when Mr. Crouch addressed the jury for Mapes. For the follow ing abridged account we are indebted to the Norfolk News, which contains nearly six columns of the proceedings on Tuesday. Mr. CROUCH said, after the long and . p3werful address of Ur. Prendergag, embractha all tlaefacts aza circiuNtaces pf 'Z- - --e----a_---e=z% P- 2 2~ the case, it would be superfluous in him to address them a very great length. It was come to this—did they believe the testimony of that man Yarham, whom he should endeavour to show was the very man who had committed the mur der himself. This he should endeavonrto show by comment ing on the evidence of Yarham at conslcter zhle length This, said the Learned Counsel, I will endeavour to prove. If you will go with me for a short time to examine the evi- dence in this case, I think you will see that the murder of this woman, was committed by the very witness who now seeks to take away the life of the prisoners at• the bar. If you consider the situation of Yarham—if you consider that Yarham was living at the same house where the woman was murdered—that he must have known the circumstances of the woman—that he must have known where the money was kept, and that by murdering her he might become possessed of all her money : what are the probabilities? There was some evidence attempted to be proved on the part of the pro secution—that Yarham did not know she was possessed of money, but no evidence was given to show that he did not. Mr. Prendergast thelfcalled several witnesses to prove an alibi in the case of Royal, and Mr. Crouch called witnesses fur the same j p urpose on behalf of Mapes and Hall. Mr. Justice PArrEsoN summed up, and said, respecting the testimony of the principal, and upon which the main case of the prosecution rested, Yarham had most foully rer jured himself if he had had anything to do with the trans action. Against two of the prisoners, and particularly against Hall, the evidence seemed to be certainly inconclusive. The Learned Judge then went over the circumstances of the ad mitted facts of the murder. The groat question was whether Yarham was the witness of truth. If that was the case the charge was established against Royal and Hall ; but it appeared he knew nothing of Mapes. Supposing also, his statement was true, the man and woman whom he stated to have seen were unknoivn. The Learned Judge then recapitulated the whole of the evidence of Yarham, and commented upon the probability (f i s accuracy. Against Mapes and Hall the testimony of Yarham did not operate, but, as against Royal, if he was the witness of truth, he made out something like a case. The jury consulted for about ten minutes, and returned a verdict of " Not Guilty." Upon the verdict being pronounced, Royal, whose counte nance had undergone no change upon hearing this momen tous decision, said, with a slight bow to the jury, " Thank you, gentlemen," and resumed;his seat in the dock, from which, however, he and his companions were speedily removed. During the latter portion of the trial the excitement which had prevailed on the previous day had considerably abated, and the strong impression which seemed to pervade the crowd assembled in the Court was, that the testimony of Yarham, upon whom the main case for the prosecution—de pended, could not be received by the jury, wore off mucE of that anxiety which would otherwise have been felt for the decision of the jury, had the case for the prosecution been supported by less questionable evidence.

The witness Yarham is just discharged from the Castle. A mob instantly recognised him, and is at this moment hoot ing him from street to street. The verdict of the jury ispre sumed to be founded on the assumption that Parham was implicated in the murder, and that his turning approver was a deliberate design to fix the crime on three innocent men. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GLERKEIV WELL. A dreadful riot occurred at the Chalk-road on Monday last about two o'clock, which originated in a dispute be tween some labourers who were drinking at a beer• shop in the neighbourhood. They were forced out of the place ; ard, having separated int 3 two parties, one at tacked the other with shovels, spades, and other imple ments which lay about the new buildings. Arising out of this affray four men named Manning, Car ny, Edward and John Burke, were charged with cut ting and wounding several persons. Edward Burke bad a fearful wound on his right cheek, and each of the other prisoners bore , marks or violence. It appeared that the policeman Stoker interfered to suppress the disturbance, and was attacked by Edmund Buike, who knocked him down. The other prisoners then kicked and trampled upon him in the most savage manner. A man named Powell interfered on behalf of the constable, but Edmund Burke knocked him down with a shovel, and the other prisoners, whilst he was prostrate, treated him so bar- - barously that be has been since unable to leave his bed. Two other men, named Warren and Kaytes, interfered for the same humane purpose. Warren lies so much beaten that he deposed he had been vomiting blood during the night, and was unable to swallow anything. Kaytes received a chop of the shovel on the back of the head, from which he bled a great deal. Several police men (amongst others, Wayre, of the G division) were hurt, but not seriously. Mr. COMM remanded all the prisoners, until it was known whether the sufferers would recover, and refused to take less bail for their appearance than two sureties in 401. fur zach prisoner. / / ~7-- _~ ~GI-cif DIRECTORS , fr Arthur de Capell Broke, Bart., Director of the Churnet Valley Railway.

There are some distinguishing features in this projected railway calculated to give it a decided preference over foreign railways generally. Ist. The preliminary concession for ninety years, under very fa vourable terms, has been already obtained from the Belgian Govern ment, so that there is no risk of present or future competition, or necessity for agreeing to disadvantageous terms in order to obtain such concession. As, according to the law of England, a certain amount must be deposited before a railway Bill be read in Parlia ment, so a deposit must be paid into the public treasury of Belgium, to be afterwards a, propriated to the construction of th line, which deposit completes the agreement already entered into. 2. This railway is the second that has been offered to private en terprise, as distinguished from the State system of railways, hitherto prevalent is Belgium. It embraces a line of country inferior to none in Europe. As elements of profit the traffic and transit will be very great, the line running through the richest, most fertile, and mos, po pulous part of Belgium, abounding in minerals. coal, iron, lead, zinc. &c., with quarries of building stone and marble : and connecting it self with,the railways of the State, and also with the great line from Calais to Cologne, and, by an intended branch from Along to Manage (for which the preliminary concession has also been obtained), uniting itself with another great.line between Brussels and Paris, which con nects the capitals of two kingdoms. 3d. Its length ffom Namur to Liege is 48% English miles, and the line from Mons to Manage, comprehended in the convention with the Minister, 22 miles, making a total of 6514 miles of railway. The line from Namur to Liege, in addition to the Belgian Government survey undertaken by M. Masts, has been subjected to the inspection of Mr. Rennie, and the estimate applied to this line carefully checked by him. 4th. On the banks of the river and on the line of this railway there are already twenty-two smelting furnaces, two foundries, three roll ing mills, twenty-three forges, several Zinc and copper works, glass houses, saw-mills fur wood and marble, paper-mills, potteries, and fire•brick manufactories. What these may be when the railway is in operation may be gathered from the evidence adduced before Par liament In England, that the average effect of railways has been to quadruple the transit and traffic previously existing. The increase in Belgium has hitherto more than doubled this ratio, which must be further increased by the opening of the German markets, through the operation of the Zollveretn. sth. The responsibility of Shareholders Is limited by the Belgian law to 3.loths of the amount of the value of the shares. Applications for prospectuses and shares (see form) may be made to Joseph Cary, Esq., at the offices of the Company, 52, Moorgate• street. Report of George Rennie, Esq., C.F., F.R.S., above referred to. To the Chairman and Committee of the proposed Railway from Namur to Lie te. Gentlemen,—Agreeably to your request I proceeded to Belgium in the earl, part of the pFesent month. and on the sth and 6th instant, in company with Monsieur 3lagis, the gm:Meer of the Government, and by whotn the plans and other do niments were prepared, having made a minute examination of the whole line of country through which the railway passes, and compared the plans and sections of the same, and having also in ve stigate d t h e v a r i o us calculations r ela, tive to the cost of eonstru,Aing the railway, and compared them with similar documents relative to tha existing' railways of the State. I ant of opinion that the proposed line of railway is laid out with judgment and aceara-y, and every way worthy of the repu tation of Monsieur Staple ; that it is very easy of exect‘tion, that It presents no difficulties of cutting and embankments, or works of art, that the inclinations scarcely exceed the Inclinations of the river Meuse, to which it runs parallel, and that it is one of the easiest and best lines in Belgium. The works can be executed for the estimate. And, dually, that as a commercial line it is situate in the most fertile and richest district in the kingdom, particularly in minerals, wth which it abounds, and that as a main trunk line from the east to i the west part of the kingdom it combines great local and great political advantages, inasmuch as it unites the mineral and manu facturing districts with the passenger traffic from Calais to Paris, Calais to Cologne, Calais to Dijon and Lyons, and to the countries eastward of Liege, and only: requires the junction of the Manage and Mons Rail Ways,likewise c omprehended in the con cession, to render this ono of the most complete rnilways en the Continent I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, GEORGE RENNIE, London, M F 2, arch 245. ormlB o f Applieation for Shares.

This light causes no smoke, cannot emit blacks, breaks no chimneys, creates no smell, requires no cleaning, and in its construction Is so simple, that any person can trim it. It is so economical that, while producing the light of two argand oil lamps, or the light of twenty candles, it. costs no more than two candles. This perfect lamp fitted to persons' own pedestals, for 23 shillings. all complete. To he seen burning at Clark's Lamp Depot, 447, West Strand (op osite Warren's Blacking Manufactory).

PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS. The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been happily attained by the invention of two parallel fiat rings—a larger and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell, having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to 16 wax candles.

SCHWEPPE'S SODA and other ALKALINE WATERS continue to be manufactured, as usual, upon the largest scale, at their several establishments, and to maintain their supremacy over all others. Sixty years' experience, added to the unvarying favour of the public during that long period, have enabled them to sustain the reputation they acquired as the original inventors of Aerated Waters ; and their manufactories at Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby, enable them to supply all the provi..ces with equal faci lity as from their principal establishment in London. Respectable agents will be found in every city and town in England, Scotland, and Wales, as well as in all the large towns on the eastern coast of Ireland. Each bottle has its proper proportion of alkali ; but, to prevent imposition, consumers are earnestly requested to ascertain I hat a label, with their name, is over the cork of each bottle of Soda Water, and a label on each bottle of Lemonade and Potass Water.

MARYLEBONE THEATRE.—We paid a visit to this model of a theatre on Monday evening, to witness the tragic abilities of .a Miss Waverley Scott, who has lately joined Mr. J. Douglas's corps dr amatique, and were much amused ; Juliet being the character, and our having been able from compa rison to judge fairly of its merits, we are enabled to state that Miss Waverley Scott is a rising actress, rather too embonpoint for the " fair Juliet," but nevertheless looked comme it fact. At the commencement she appeared somewhat nervous, but ve an a d ugu ap ; o a pwn s ei s rl h oeo e fdf atohtqtnuhieudirio ra:lilarger advanced ntruotegigureah.nhr nlgjse3hdhi. lady, aptuot oisor i b lyeyu e g j,s cg. understand waanla Douglas A i sdi e hedsfahahe h tr heroine coliei e munresledafsswotbu lhia k s entirel y, e ar e . eecloolieh success. tyithEnhet this passant,:F je e :l e hdn her ofmr. tah shT a n t e..

It appears the unfortunate gentleman entered the coffee-room, about half-past eleven o'clock, apparently quite well, and shortly after retired to the water-closet, where he fell down in a fit. Strange to say, a medical gentleman who witnessed the fall, merely called to the waiter to say that some one who was ill had dropped down in the closet. He left the house directly, without offering assistance, and did not return even to learn the result. Mr. Jopp expired almost immediately in the arms of the waiter. It may be in the recollection of some of our readers, that Mr. Scarr, the late partner of Mr. Jopp, also fell down in a fit, and died suddenly, about two years since.—Shipping Gazette. ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—The porticos of the western entrance of this splendid cathedral are about to un dergo a thorough cleansing and scraping, with a view to removing the incrustation that has settled on the stone work, arising from smoke and dirt. Yesterday the scaffolding under the lower portico was erected, and the workmen com menced their operations ; it has not, however, yet been de termined whether the whole of the western front, as also the other outer portions of the building, will be scraped and cleaned, the lower part being tried first before any determi nation is come to by way of experiment, it not being accu rately known whether the state of the stone-work will permit its being done; if, however, the experiment is successful, the whole of the western, which forms the principal entrance to the cathedral, and the elegant design of which has been universally admired, consisting of twelve lofty Corinthian columns below, and eight of the Composite order above, sur mounted by a handsome pediment, on the tympanum o which the Conversion of St. Paul is represented in smoke, bassor at - lievo, but owing to the accumulation of dirt and t presentwthheichis a colossal timellscarcelygureof t hthat apostle,discernible, and and in t he of the bitildin* those of Peter, 4t. ire=,ii4ad the iow _ * Eragaliste, w4l uaderip note cientla.
