Deposit Five Shillings per Share, Intended to cover all preliminary expenses, and for taking the neces sary steps to obtain Grants and Concessions from the Spanish Go vernment, for a Railroad or Roads to connect Barcelona, Tortosa, and the neighbouring Manufacturing, Agricultural, and Mineral districts ; and from the extensive population and large amount of transit of Goods and Coals (of the latter, upwards of 40,000 tons pass annually from Tortosa to Barcelona for consumption), it is fully anticipated that this Railway will become one of very profitable nature. No further Call will be made, until a treaty is concluded with the Spanish Government ; nor then, without the consent of the Share holders, a Meeting of whom will be convened for that special purpose. A Provisional Committee will be chosen from among the applicants for Shares, and their names will be published previous to the allot ment of Shares, and this Committee will take the necessary mea sures for obtaining the Concession.

SloraciToa--.Toseph Cary, Esq., 52, Moorgate-street, London. 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 he paid into the public treasury of Belgium, to be afterwards appropriated to the construction of the 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 in 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 most 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 Mons 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 from Namur to Liege is 48% English miles, and the line frem Mons to Manage, comprehended in the convention with the Minister, 22 miles, making a total of 65% miles of railway. Theline from Namur to Liege, in addition to the Belgian Government sigvey undertaken by M. Magis, 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 zitfe and copper works, glass houses, saw-mills for 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 Zollverein. sth. The responsibility of Shareholders is limited by the Belgian law to 3-10ths 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.E., F.R.S., above referred to. To the Chairman and Committee of the proposed Railway from Namur to Lleo. Gentiemen,—Agreeably to your request I proceeded to Belglnin in the early part of the present month, and on the sth and 6th instant, in company with Monsieur Magis, the engineer of the Government, and by whom the plans and other documents 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 investigated the various calculations rela tive to the cost of constructing the railway, and compared them with similar documents relative to the existing railways of the State, I am of opinion that the proposed line of railway is laid out with judgment and accuracy, and every way worthy of the repu tation of Monsieur Magis ; that it is very easy of execution, that it presents no difficulties of cqtting 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, finally, that as a commercial line it is situate in the most fertile and richest district in the kingdom, particularly in minerals, with which it abounds, and that as a main trunk line from the east to the west pirt 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 it: only: requires the junction of the Manage and Mons Railways, likewise comprehended in the con cession, to render this one of the most complete railways on the Continent.

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 be seen burning at Clark's Lamp Depot, 447, West Strand (op (mite Warren's Blacking Manufactory). Clark and Co. have also an improved Oil Lamp used by Govern- Mont, and all the great light houses in the world, and only just now ntroduced to public notice. N.B. To prevent imposition, Clark and Co. put their name on all these lamps.

CROWN COURT—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) TIIE MURDER AT GREAT YAP3IOUTII.—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'lllawsr 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 didcome 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 100/. 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-hotise, hard by lier house. On The bright 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 bad 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 iteoping 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 been 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 guide the murderers 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 ware 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 Yarham—l am a shoemaker, of Great Yarmouth, and occupied the premises in which Mr. Catchpole 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 hall, 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 threugh 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-dobr 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 cheres-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__.s you, if you say anything, I'll serve you the same." I said, " What do you mean ? He said, "We were told s he'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 Houcben's-row, and the man and woman previously standing there followed. I again spoke to Royal, who said, " B—t you, if you say a n ythi ng , I'll serve you out ;" and ask e d if I lived there ? He then said, "I'll give you a sovereign." When he me I asked him where was the woman? He said he'd not seen 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 th e woman ?" and lie 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 I. 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 see him here to-day—it is the prisoner Hall. Cross-examined by Mr. PRENnEnGasT-1 first saw Mr. Catchpole, and gave him a candle to go to bed with. I had a hammer, and thb 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 Thesday. 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. I lived in London seven and a half years. I found my wife in London. She never spoke in public, norj did I belong to the Socialists, nor did my wife. I was in trouble once for stealing books, and had a month for it. That was thirteen months ago. I was in bed with my wife when the bell rung, and I was asleep. Mr. Catchpole had been in about an hour and a-half. It was about half past two or three o'clock. I gave no information to Mr. Catchpole. It was on account of Royal's intimidation I did not" make it known at first. I wa s safe when the' police came there, and I knew they had found it out, but having been in trouble I would not give information. 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 iatibtlhooedsytr.weeot.undl, ticed the wound by the side of her neck. She was fronting to see how towards the street. I did no l tic l e vass i a t e N pk v r a iei s lsge utp against the laannd saw the blood. I did not stay long he was called n' when James Hall much.

The London season may now be said to be approach ing its zenith. The great stars of the opera have risen. Grisi and Lablache made their first appearance last night ; and Les Danseuses Viennoises, those wonderful children 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 not obstacles to all appearance insurmountable in terposed—have at length made their debilt. 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 have 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 faint 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 joyousness, 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 Danseuses Viennoises will occasion quite as great an improvement in the drilling and manceuvring of the corps de ballet. Certain it is, that those who have not seen those children can form no idea of what a corps de ballet ought 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 east —never has it been more perfectly performed—Grisi and Lablache were both in excellent voice, and exerted themselves to the utmost. The Caste Diva was magnificently given. Rosetti's Adalgisa was very beautiful, as apiece of acting, pathetic and subdued, everypoint told, and told well,without 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 Casts 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 Eoline 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-Strelitz, 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. SIR WALTER SCOTT ON BEAUTY.--.-111 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 first attributes of feminine beauty. Thu care and conservation therefore of ornaments, so pre cious and important, cannot fail to become objects of high interest, and our own experience induces us unhe sitatingly to recommend " Rowland's Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice," as an indispensable appendage to the toilet of beauty, and as calculated to heighten and preserve the advantages of " Balmy Breath," and " Pearly Teeth," in all their beauty and perfection. LAUNCH AT BLACKWALL.—Yesterday an India man of 1,400 tons was launched from the yard of Messrs. Wigram and Green, at Blackwall, in the presence of a large body of persons who had assembled to witness the interesting spectacle. There were a number of individuals on board of her, and booths were erected on either side of the slip on which she was built, for the accommodation of the spectators, among whom were a considerable portion of the fair sex. Shortly after two o'clock, at high water, every necessary preparation having been completed, the supporters were knocked away and she glided into the element, on which hereafter she is destined to become an auxiliary to the fur therance of the commerce of the country, amidst the cheers of the spectators, and the band of the Royal Marines, which was present on the occasion, playing the national air " Rule Britannia." She is named the Alfred, and is a splendid specimen of the naval architecture ,which constitutes the' elite of our mercantile marine. Immediately after she was launched she was taken into the East India Docks to be cop pered and equipped for service. SALE OF _RARE PRINTS, &E.--Yesterday was com menced, at Messrs. Christie and Manson's, the pictures, . S_m., disposal of the rare collection of prints, drawin gs , belonging to the late A. Geddes, Esq., R.A. a any of the rare prints, a lthough extremely small, as mucliaaeix and seven guineas eacl4 ~~~ ;~, ( f i the we, 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 deavour to show was the very man who h the mur der himself. This he should en eavourto show by comment ing on the evidence of Yarham at considerable 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 livingat 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 - secution—that Yarham did not know s h e was of money, but no evidence was given to show that he did not. Mr. Prendergast then'called several witnesses to prove an alibi in the case of Royal, and Mr. Crouch called witnesses fur the same purpose on behalf of Mapes and Hall. Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up, and said, respecting the testimony of the principal, and upon which the main case of the prosecution rested, Yarham had most foully yer jured himself if lie 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-• mated facts of the murder. The great question was whether Yarham wasthe witness of truth. If that was the case tbo 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 unknown. The Learned Judge then recapitulated the whole of the evidence of Yarham, and commented upon the probability of its 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 ali g ht b ow t o th e jury, " Thank you, gentlemen," and resum e d:hi s sea t i n th e d oc k, froth 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 muci 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. When the verdict was pronounced, no fsne amongst the vast crowd expressed, by looker gesture, the least surprise ; all appeared to be pre pared for an acquittal of the prisoners. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) orwich, Nine o'Clock, Tuesday Evening. 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 is pre sumed to be founded on the assumption that Yarham was implicated in the murder, and that his turning approver was a deliberate design to fix the crime on three innocent men. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKEIV 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; and, having separated into 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, Carny, Edward and John Burke, were charged with cut ting and wounding several persons. Edward Burke had 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 Bailie, 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 he has been since unable to leave his bed. Two other men, named Warren sad 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. COMBE 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 404 for each prisoner.

MARYLEBONE TREATRE.—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 dramatique, 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 'W averley Scott is a rising actress, rather too embonpoint for the " fair Juliet," but nevertheless looked comma faut. p Lee,weal e o d a sf this young gukhnelgyp kept a t ta o hye r ga d on e oa r s t fh a o At the conimenc,ement sh e appeared somewhat nervous, but l d do s fb h ep a k sha Paddington 00 n as she advanced she became the h ero i ne entirely, and ap one of our larger houses. A f arce followed, in which Mr. T. We n e see a h a e u r r o g r a a r t , folks by his quaint and original delineation of the Frenchnian. Altogether, Mr. J. Douglas caters well for this end of the town, and we heartily wish him success. En passant, his early hours of concluding the performance is a grand deside ratum and a great recommendation. SUDDEN DEATH.-IVe regret to learn that Mr. Andrew Jopp, ship broker, of 7 yesterday morning* 2, Cornhill, di e d su dd en ly , while at the Jerusalem Coffee-house. It appears the unfortunate gentleman entered the coffee-roam, 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.
